To Rule in a Turbulent World

You Miao was startled when he saw the man in the uniform of a military general, but then remembered the last time Nie Dan came to deliver the letter, and immediately knew who the reply was, it must be Zhao Chao!Then he was overjoyed and said, "Let me see!"

Tang Hui took out a letter from his bosom, and handed it to You Miao respectfully with both hands, the letter was Zhao Chao's name, and You Miao immediately felt better, and said, "Go back to the Shenyuan and say, Li Zhifeng, you also come back and have a rest." , stop digging."

Tang Hui glanced at the canal, didn't say anything, followed behind You Miao, and You Miao led a few people into the Shen Garden. When Li Zhuang saw that there was a lot of people here, he was an official, and respectful to You Miao, he immediately Even his attitude changed a lot, and he went to help his wife clean up the house as soon as he returned.

You Miao sat down in the main room and told Li Zhifeng: "Go and get the tea from the top compartment of the study."

Tang Hui hurriedly said, "Don't dare to bother Young Master You anymore."

You Miao said with a smile: "You are welcome, you are a military master. I have no official position. I should call you an adult."

You Miao has a very good impression of being a soldier. He was rescued by a soldier in Yanbian City, and after entering the customs, he was also helped by the army. This is one of them.And Zhao Chao seems to be very familiar with the military system, the people he sent several times are all soldiers, love the house and black, this is the second.

Li Zhifeng brought the tea set and tea leaves, You Miao took them, and said with a smile, "Go take a bath, I'll talk to Mr. Jun."

Li Zhifeng nodded, turned and went out.

You Miao personally cooked tea for Tang Hui, stirred the best green tea in the bowl, made a rustling sound, and scalded a set of teacups with green lotus dots and golden carps, which was the dowry his mother brought to You Dechuan After passing through the water, the green lotus cup was as if made of colored glass, and the goldfish in the tea cup came alive.

Tang Hui was also a man of knowledge, and said: "It is said that Young Master You's family is a noble family, but it is really different. Even Zhizhou's family can't get enough of this set of tea drinking business."

You Miao smiled and said: "It's all taking advantage of my parents. My mother brought this thing when she got married. My father doesn't like me now, so he packed my mother's things and sent me out."

Tang Hui smiled, shook his head, and said, "My father didn't like me back then, so he sent me to Jiangnan early."

"Oh?" You Miao said, "Isn't your lord from Jiangnan?"

You Miao didn't quite like Tang Hui's accent, so Tang Hui said, "Hebei people, you and I are about the same age, if you don't mind, just call me Tang Hui."

You Miao smiled and said, "I'll just call you Big Brother." While cooking tea, she thought that it wouldn't hurt to have more relationships. Tang Hui's visit this time is different from Nie Dan's. A civil servant came all the way from the capital.On the other hand, Tang Hui's leather armor was neatly packed, and the horse he was riding was not tired. It can be seen that he is a general stationed nearby, maybe he is the general in charge of the city defense of Yangzhou Prefecture. Just as Tang Hui was about to get close, Tang Hui was busy He humbly said: "Don't dare to be or not to be, that's not something you can say."

You Miao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, the tea leaves that were roasted dryly on a charcoal fire exuded a fragrance, and immediately filled the room with the smell of fragrant tea, Tang Hui clicked his tongue in admiration, and when the water rolled three times, You Miao sprinkled the tea leaves into the pot again like a magic trick, After pouring hot water that was [-]% hot, after washing a cup of tea, I poured a cup that was [-]% full. The tea was light green and smelled fragrant, and I held it to Tang Hui with my own hands.

You Miao's skills may not be good, but the trick of cooking tea is the true inheritance of Biyu Mountain Villa when he was a child. It is not common for those dudes in the capital to eat tea made by You Miao himself. It's just arty, but Li Yan is well versed in this, otherwise he wouldn't love him so much.

It can be said that in such a big capital city, the people who can cook Jiangnan tea leaves to taste like in You Miao's hands are one in the palace, one in Tingyulou, and one in You Miao, and they are gone.

You Miao wanted to make friends with Tang Huicai and did it by himself. Now that the tea is here, he opened the letter by himself and read it carefully.

After Tang Hui praised the good tea a few times, he sat down and drank it quietly, seemingly absent-minded. After reading the letter, You Miao didn't write anything special. It was Zhao Chao's instructions. The last letter You Miao wrote back to Zhao Chao, What he said was nothing more than complaining about his current situation, and he also mentioned that he would manage Jiangbo Villa, and planned to take Li Zhifeng on the road alone, and his father didn't want him.

In Zhao Chao's reply, he mentioned that it is very good for the younger brother to have such an idea. After all, a man is born between heaven and earth, and he is nothing more than making contributions and making a career of his own.The letter also mentioned that he himself was often looked down upon by his father, and he had a favored elder brother, so he stayed at home, so he might as well go out to have fun by himself.

You Miao knew that Zhao Chao was acquainted with people in the military system, so at this moment, he gradually guessed that he might be the eldest son of a general in the dynasty.This dynasty has always emphasized civility over military affairs. There is a saying that good men do not serve as soldiers, good iron does not nail nails, and civil officials look down on generals.

And to join the army, you have to tattoo the number of the army on the side of the face, the salary is very little, and the status is low.The post of Marshal of Bingma is only equivalent to a fourth-rank civil servant, and has almost no real power except for the garrison power that changes every two years.It can be said that soldiers in the Tianqi Dynasty were not as good as scholars and scholars. It was unfair to serve as soldiers to protect their families and defend the country, just because the founding emperor was afraid of mutiny.

In his letter, Zhao Chao also mentioned that if the Jiangnan area could not survive, he wrote to Beijing. After entering Beijing, he would try to arrange an official position for You Miao, etc. He also said that Jiangnan Yangzhou is a sensual dog and lives in the villa. Remember to study hard, do more things, don't be lazy, and don't hang around in Huajie Liuxiang to kill your ambitions. If you have any difficulties, you can ask for help from the Military Defense Department Yangzhou Ji.

In a word, if you want money or someone, just write back and ask for it. My brother loves you.

You Miao stared at the last few lines of the letter for a while, presumably Zhao Chao also knew what kind of person You Miao was in the capital.Seeing that his nose was sore, he closed his eyes, put the letter aside, and let out a long sigh.

Li Yan's reply letter hasn't come yet, it is expected that he left the post station, You Miao read the letter and said: "Zhao Chao's reply is quite fast, my letter was sent only ten days ago, so it came so soon .”

Tang Hui said with a smile: "Sometimes, when fish and geese come and go, it all depends on not caring about each other. The young master is always in the capital's mind. I heard that the son of the prime minister's mansion is also talking about it, but it has nothing to do with the length of the day. relation."

You Miao was overjoyed and nodded again and again.

Tang Hui put the teacup aside, and said: "The last general just returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and he came back from General Nie and His Highness the Third Highness."

You Miao said: "Well, Nie Dan and the Third Highness... what?! What did you say?!"

You Miao almost knocked over the teacup, there was a noise on the table, Tang Hui took a stride, and deftly caught the teacup that fell off the table.
