To Rule in a Turbulent World

The caravan stayed in Jiangcheng Mansion, and Hao Sanqian specially sent a carriage to take You Miao to You Mansion in Pei County.

The tea mountains along the way are dark green, and the tea farmers are rushing to pick the last wave of winter tea seedlings before the severe cold. There are vast hectares of fertile land, thousands of tea estates, and the windows are wide open. You Miao leaned against the window and said proudly to Li Zhifeng: "Look at this The mountains, the land, the river."

"...the trees planted on the mountain, the fish raised in the river, the birds and beasts, the flowers, birds, insects and fish." You Miao said with a smile, "It's all my family's property, and it's all mine."

Li Zhifeng couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes, nodded slowly, You Miao put one foot on Li Zhifeng's thigh, the carriage stopped and stopped, the fog in the tea mountain was rising, and the road just after rain was very wet, breathing in the freshness of the mountains Qi, compared with the noisy Gyeonggi and Saibei where the yellow sand is rolling, this place is a fairyland on earth, a paradise.

At noon, the carriage stopped by the side of the road, and the driver invited You Miao down to have a meal. There were four kinds of steamed tea, two-color fried rice, deep-fried live shrimp, sliced ​​winter snow fish wrapped in egg and flour and deep-fried until Seventy percent golden and thirty percent crispy, it melts in the mouth, and You Miao is in a good mood after eating a meal.

Three years away from home, it's been a long time since I had eaten Liuzhou's good food, You Miao said to Li Zhifeng again: "When I get home, the food is much better than this."

Li Zhifeng nodded, holding a sea bowl, squatting at the door of the restaurant to eat fish ball noodles, full of umami.

The proprietress served tea to You Miao, and said with a smile, "Master You hasn't been home for several years."

"Isn't it?" You Miao took the teacup with a smile. The blue rainy sky and fine hair were floating and sinking in the broken flower porcelain cup, and the fragrance of the tea was overflowing. You Miao had always been approachable and handsome in the past. The tea farmer is working as a long-term worker for Youjia, and he loves him when he sees him.

But today the proprietress was a bit hesitant to talk, and You Miao was eager to go home, but she didn't notice, pointing to Li Zhifeng and said: "This is my buddy in the capital, he is sincere."

The proprietress nodded with a smile, and asked, "Master You asked the young master to come home, but do you have any orders, does the young master know?"

You Miao thought for a while and said, "Either let me marry a wife, or let me take over this Biyu Tea House, what else can I do?"

Although his father was obsessed with sending him to the capital to study and find an official position, if he changed his mind halfway and wanted to keep him in Jiangbei, it is not unreasonable. You Miao smiled and said: "I will take over the tea house in the future Whatever you do, you will never increase your rent by a penny, just rest assured."

The proprietress said: "The young master is naturally a nostalgic person, and it is our blessing to be able to follow the young master."

You Miao nodded, the proprietress went out to dry the clothes, and sighed, Li Zhifeng, who was eating noodles, looked up and looked up at her.

After lunch, You Miao ordered the carriage to go back, and it was less than ten miles away from Biyu Mountain Villa. When he was close to the village, he was full of thoughts of wanderers, and planned to walk all the way back.

The road was wet, Li Zhifeng said, "Master, I will carry you on my back."

You Miao was not polite, jumped on his back, Li Zhifeng walked slowly with him on his back, when someone was driving an ox cart along the way, You Miao called him, and passers-by saw You Miao, and said, "It's Young Master You."

"Master You is back—"

"Why don't you take the car?"

You Miao smiled and said, "Go home and have a look."

All of You Miao's luggage was robbed, and all his belongings were gone. Li Zhifeng was his only property. He talked and laughed along the way, until Biyu Mountain Villa appeared in full view on the mountainside, and Fang jumped down to the ground.

It was late in the evening, and two servants were sweeping the floor, and they glanced at him from a distance. One servant wanted to go in to make an announcement, but the other servant held him back and waved his hand.

You Miao finally felt that something was wrong, and suddenly thought of many things that she hadn't thought about before—what kind of saying is this?I have already arrived in Pei County, why is there no one at home to pick me up?

"Master."

"Master is back."

The two servants arched their sleeves to salute, and You Miao said, "Why is there no one to pick me up when I'm back? Where's Uncle Hu?"

You Miao walked towards the gate, a boy who was dozing off saw that You Miao came back, and immediately woke up, the other two boys stepped forward and kicked him, saying: "It's you who fell asleep! The young master has gone home! " Then he smiled at You Miao and said, "This is a newcomer."

You Miao said: "It's okay, where is the sedan chair? Why didn't you prepare to get off the sedan chair?"

The boy winked at the other two companions, several of them looked hesitant, and one of them replied: "Responding to the young master's words, the master went out today with Da... Da... and..., and the sedan chair is in the villa. Let's go now." Order someone to bring it down."

"Is Uncle Hu there?" You Miao said, "Let him make a sign for this man."

He pointed at Li Zhifeng and said, "His name is Li Zhifeng. It was too cold, so Shi Qier was not allowed to follow him. He is following me."

"Yes." The servants nodded together, and the servant said again: "Young master...you don't have any luggage?"

You Miao said with a smile: "I was robbed on the road, there is no danger."

The three servants looked at each other, and one of them suddenly said, "Master, Uncle Hu has gone home."

You Miao said: "Go home?"

"Yes." The young man replied: "I told my old man to go back. There was a new butler named Lin Si in the house. The second butler, Uncle Wang, also left. Now the newly hired accountant is in charge of the money. Aunt Ma please here."

Why did I change the housekeeper and didn't see a letter saying that even the accountant was changed.You Miao flicked her sleeves and said, "Forget it, the sedan chair hasn't come down yet, I'll go up by myself."

There is a shadow wall erected in front of the gate of the villa. With a burden on his back, Li Zhifeng followed You Miao and began to climb the mountain. It is also good to exercise occasionally. At dusk, the fog in the distance dissipated, and a streak of sunset color appeared in the gap between the cirrus clouds. In Phnom Penh, thousands of tea trees in the mountains are bathed in the twilight, which makes You Miao feel nostalgic for his hometown.

After entering the second gate of the villa, You Miao smiled and said, "I'm back."

Several maids who were fetching water by the well took a look at You Miao, feeling a little apprehensive. After a long time, one of the maids gave her a blessing and whispered, "The young master is back."

You Miao's heart sank, and she finally knew something was wrong.

"Oh, it's back—" Before the woman arrived, the voice came first, and a woman came out in an instant, wearing a long taupe-colored dress with a pink flower on her hairpin, her face was smeared with rouge .

This person is Ma Shi, the concubine of You Dechuan, You Miao's father, and she is the one that the servants call "Aunt Ma".After You Miao's mother passed away, Aunt Ma gave birth to a boy and a half girl for You Dechuan, and as You Miao's legitimate son, she was only polite when she met her and didn't chat much.

But at this moment, there was another woman standing in front of Aunt Ma, wearing a light-colored azure embroidered apron, a fox-fur collar around her neck, a fallen horse bun, a jasper hairpin, and a gold inlaid jade pendant. Shaking in the setting sun, reflecting the streamer.

Looking at the woman's appearance, she should be about 50 years old, with crow's feet on the corners of her eyes, no red lips, and a domineering aura. You Miao only thought that her father had come to the house, but she had never seen this woman before, so she wanted to speak Seeing the ceremony, the woman opened her mouth first.

The woman was not polite at all, and asked Aunt Ma: "Is this You Miao?"

You Miao raised her eyebrows, but before she could speak, Aunt Ma spoke before You Miao.

Aunt Ma looked at the woman and said, "This is our wife, You Miao. According to the rules, you have to call her wife." She looked at You Miao with a smile and observed his face.

lady? ! !

You Miao is simply baffled, his mother is Mrs. You who is being married by the media, why has another wife appeared after three years away from home?How is this going?
