To Rule in a Turbulent World

The sky is bright and the moon is thousands of miles away, shining on the ancient tea-horse road, and the mountains in the distance rise one after another, like a sleeping dragon in the mountains. Li Zhifeng is bathed in the moonlight, but his steps are almost as fast as the carriage.

"Get in the carriage!" You Hange shouted towards the side of the road from the carriage.

Li Zhifeng turned a deaf ear and walked all the way.

You Hango said: "I'll give you a ride!"

Li Zhifeng took a deep breath while running, let out a clear whistle, and his footsteps became faster and faster. the end.

When I returned to the villa that night, it was already four o'clock, eight hours had passed since Li Zhifeng went down the mountain for the first time, Mu Qier said again: "It's amazing, two round trips, 160 miles, did you run all the way down?"

Li Zhifeng signaled Muqi not to wake up the room, handed him the medicine bag, and asked, "Have you taken it, young master?"

Muqi replied: "I used some porridge, and I have already fallen asleep."

Li Zhifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and fell asleep in the outer room with his clothes unknit.

In the early morning of the next day, You Miao felt a chill on his neck, and touched Li Zhifeng's slender fingers with sleepy eyes. He handed it to Li Zhifeng before.

"I can't die." You Miao said weakly: "A minor illness."

Li Zhifeng helped him tuck up the quilt, and since he went to the outhouse to cook the medicine, the smell of medicine filled the room, and You Miao frowned when he heard it, Li Zhifeng came over with a bowl and said, "Drink the medicine."

You Miao had no choice but to hold the bowl Li Zhifeng was holding and drank the medicine. Li Zhifeng gave him another piece of candy, and You Miao laughed.

At that meeting in Beijing, Li Zhifeng was beaten into an internal injury, and You Miao would give him a piece of candy after he drank the medicine. What he said at the time was: "Eating a piece of candy won't make you bitter, and drinking the medicine will make you sick." No I still remember Li Zhifeng when I think of it.

After drinking the medicine, You Miao still lay quietly in the room and said, "Mu Qier, open the door."

The doors of the inner and outer rooms were all open, and without waiting for You Miao's order, Li Zhifeng came in and moved the screen aside.

You Miao looked at the blue sky on the wall outside the house. At this moment, his heart has calmed down a lot. He still thinks about that. He lives and dies, that is to say, his position in the family is no longer what it used to be.

Now, if he goes to Beijing again, he will be sent on the road with 100 taels of silver at most, just fulfilling the wishes of Mrs. Wang and You Hange.Coming to Beijing in the coming day, you have to take care of the whole family, so You Miao will not do it.

But if you don’t go to Beijing, where can you go?Staying at home for a long time is not an option. At first, You Miao thought about staying at home until he drove Wang away, but he also knew that this was just a child's angry words.Since father married her, how could he drive her away?Staying at home is also finding anger for yourself.

"Relying on father, mother, and ancestors." You Miao murmured, "It's not considered a good man."

At this moment, You Miao had an urge to carry a small burden and take Li Zhifeng to wander around the world. If his father can start from scratch, why can't he?A few taels of silver, buying and selling, what You Dechuan can do, why can't he do it?

You Miao has witnessed the huge profits in business outside the Great Wall. With Li Zhifeng protecting him, it is not difficult to take a trip outside the Great Wall when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.The premise is to get enough money as the principal, and if you want money, you have to ask the old man.

You Miao couldn't help thinking about how to buy and sell the money when you got the money, where to get the business paperwork... small shopkeepers don't need paperwork, but they are easy to be caught, the government can take your goods for any reason, long-distance To pass the customs through trekking, you still need an amulet.

Go back to the capital to find Li Yan and ask him to ask someone to open the document?This idea is feasible, maybe you can recruit a few sons and sisters to join the gang, and each of them contributes some money. You Miao's mind is full of messy things, thinking about how to get revenge on Wang's mother and son in the future.Instead, it turned grief into strength, and the original decadence disappeared completely.

When it was evening, You Miao was already writing how to cheat the old man out of his money, and told him with a smile that she had changed her mind and was going to study in Beijing, accepting the arrangement of her family?No, the old man will never believe him.Make a big noise and ask him to take out his mother's dowry?Ask for a separation?I'm afraid it won't work, Wang's watching from the sidelines... I don't have much money to share.But with only a few hundred taels of silver bills, the turnover is open. Are you afraid of running out of money in the future?

Or steal the old man's stuff?You Miao thought, this is a good idea, just steal some valuable antique calligraphy and paintings, I am afraid that people in Peixian County will know that they are valuable things from Biyu Villa, if they don't accept them, they can only sell them in Yangzhou or the capital.By the way... just when you go to Beijing, grab some valuables.

When he arrived in the capital, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, so the old man could no longer control him.

You Miao lay on the bed for a whole day, and as soon as she thought about the matter, the suffocation that was stuck in her chest before seemed to find a vent, and it all dissipated.Unwillingness is still unwillingness, but at this moment it all turned into ridicule of the old man. Since he was a child, his uncle's family has said it several times, and he can vaguely sense that You Dechuan doesn't like his mother.But since You Miao is the only son, he doesn't take it to heart...

The medicine cans buzzed outside, and You Miao suddenly became hungry. He rubbed his stomach and said, "Is there anything to eat?"

"Yes." Li Zhifeng rarely took the initiative to answer, glanced at him, and said, "Drink the medicine first."

You Miao took the bowl, smiled, and said, "I'll do it myself."

Li Zhifeng looked at You Miao, and You Miao knew what he wanted to ask, so he took the initiative to say: "Think about it, don't make yourself angry."

Li Zhifeng didn't answer, he fed You Miao a candy, took out the empty medicine bowl, Mu Qier ran in from the outhouse again, and said with a smile: "Master, someone from the capital is here, and they say it's your friend!"

You Miao frowned and stood up, still feeling dizzy when she went down to the ground, Mu Qier hurriedly helped him out, and said, "He's an official, and he didn't take a sip of water even though he came all the way."

You Miao said: "Where are people?"

Mu Qi'er said: "It's in the main room."

You Miao was wrapped in a robe, his face was still a little pale, and before the news came into the hall, You Dechuan sat in the main seat, with a civil servant sitting on his left, and another military officer sitting beside him, wearing leather armor.

You Miao recognized the civil servant as the magistrate of Peixian County, but the military officer felt a little familiar, and had only vaguely seen it, but couldn't recognize who it was.

You Dechuan's voice was full of majesty, and he ordered: "You Miao, come and meet Master Huang and Master Nie."

"You Miao?" The county magistrate said with a smile.

You Miao bowed his hand to the county magistrate, kept looking at the general, and finally remembered, and said, "You are the one from Gyeonggi..."

That military commander was the school captain Nie Dan who had detained You Miao's carriage when he was out of the city not long ago. He nodded at this moment and said, "That's right, it's just me."

You Dechuan lectured: "You Miao, why are you so rude?"

When You Miao was fooling around with a group of dudes in the capital, when did you pay attention to these sixth-rank officers and soldiers?However, although You Dechuan is rich, he has no official position, and he has to salute when he comes to an official. This is why You Dechuan wanted to send his son to the capital even though he sharpened his head.Huang Xiancheng seemed to have heard something, he laughed and said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, this has grown taller."

You Miao smiled, took a look at You Dechuan, and sat down on the second seat on the right. Nie Dan looked You Miao up and down like a falcon, and everyone in the hall was silent for a while.You Dechuan said to Huang Xiancheng: "The dog has been in Beijing for the past few years, and he doesn't even understand the rules."

Huang Xiancheng smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, young people naturally want to fly away. Some time ago, I heard that His Highness the Third Highness likes You Miao, and wants him to enter the palace as a companion..."

"Hey." You Dechuan sighed and shook his head, "You're still young, let's talk about it in a few years."

You Miao spoke suddenly, and said to Nie Dan, "Li Yan asked you to come here?"

Nie Dan was silent for a long time, and then said: "When will you go to Beijing again?"

You Miao was angry in her heart, she answered irrelevant questions, and she was so impolite, but if she was at the foot of the emperor in Beijing, You Miao would not scold him to death!However, the official is high-ranking and overpowering others, You Dechuan scolded: "Master Nie asked you a question, why didn't you answer?"

You Miao said: "I... Let's talk about it in the spring of next year. Why did you come here?"
