To Rule in a Turbulent World

Li Zhifeng rolled up his sleeves, poured hot wine for You Miao, and stood aside to serve dishes.The butler was by his side, and the servant was listening to orders outside the door. When You Miao sat down, she thought to herself, the hard days are finally over!

Since coming to Jiangbo Villa, she finally looked like a young master. You Miao sighed and choked for a while, then said expressionlessly, "Sit down."

"I'll serve you." Li Zhifeng said lightly.

You Miao: "Sit down, it's boring to eat alone."

Li Zhifeng just sat down, three, two, one, the two gobbled it up, You Miao stuck his chopsticks towards the fish belly, swiped the fish a few times, and picked the fish into the bowl, Li Zhifeng continued to pick up vegetables for You Miao.The dishes made by Mrs. Qian were too salty, and You Miao was so thirsty, she said, "Why do the dishes put so much salt?"

Li Zhifeng replied: "I went to the kitchen and saw that you have a bland taste. She said that only rich people can afford salt, so she added more salt."

You Miao couldn't laugh or cry. Although the food was delicious, the taste was heavy. After eating two big bowls, he ate up Li Zhifeng's bowl of custard before drinking tea and belching contentedly.When I went out, I saw Mrs. Qian sitting and eating on the threshold of the kitchen, and said, "Sister-in-law, please put less salt in the future. But your cooking is delicious, and my father's housekeeper doesn't have the ability to do that."

Aunt Qian was deaf, and said with a smile: "What? The young master is used to eating."

The noisy backyard was brightly lit, and the Shen Garden was like a stage set up with gongs and drums. The laughter and scolding spread far to the front yard. You Miao lay on the bed and couldn't sleep. She sat up several times and watched curiously. Those people were yelling about something and wanted to go over and find someone to chat with.

However, at the second watch, he heard Li Zhifeng say from a distance behind the courtyard wall: "The young master is going to sleep, please be quiet."

So the whole Shen Yuan fell asleep and gradually quieted down. You Miao couldn't help laughing in her heart. After a while, Li Zhifeng's voice said outside the room again: "There is no need to watch the night, everyone go to sleep."

The two boys waiting outside went to sleep, Li Zhifeng came in and lay down behind the screen, You Miao said: "Housekeeper, come and accompany me on the bed."

"Yeah." Li Zhifeng got up and came over, sat on the edge of the bed and took off his clothes. You Miao kicked him again and said, "You won't be more conscious."

Li Zhifeng smiled, flicked his finger, the strong wind shot away, the oil lamp was extinguished silently, the room was quiet, and after a while, You Miao's panting and Li Zhifeng's heavy breathing sounded.

"I love you so much..." You Miao said in a low voice in the darkness: "Slow down, slow down, ah!"

"Me too." Li Zhifeng's voice was low and hoarse, You Miao was about to say something, but Li Zhifeng kissed his lips.

After a long time, You Miao hugged Li Zhifeng sideways, buried her head in front of his chest, and fell asleep comfortably.

The next day, You Miao's back was sore and her back ached, and she was about to fall apart, and was caught by the old craftsman Huang who came to the door.

"I thought you were working harder!" Old Carpenter Huang scolded with staring eyes, "It's only been a few days and you're lazy again?!"

Now You Miao is afraid when she hears Huang Laojiang's voice, and hurriedly said: "I was greedy yesterday, I was wrong, I was wrong, teacher, don't get angry."

"Where did the little beggar come from!" Old craftsman Huang blew his beard and stared, and beat the two brothers Mu Yan and Mufeng with a cane. The two teenagers didn't dare to provoke him, so they hurriedly avoided him. Waiting in the main room, Li Zhifeng took the clothes and helped him to dress and wash.

Old craftsman Huang came over this time to ask how the blacksmithing was going, and You Miao called Mu Yan to come over and report one by one. After lunch, Carpenter poured wine for him again, until Old Carpenter Huang blushed and went back drunk.

After dinner, You Miao went to the backyard to look around again. Most of the people had gone out to enclose the land. Yesterday he specially instructed not to enclose the land too close together, so as to facilitate future expansion and addition. Sijin Baoer went to Jiangbei to supervise the work, and there was no one in the whole villa for a while.

It’s okay if there’s no one else, I just do my own thing, I’m so busy these days that I have to read.

Today is the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and in three days' time, I have to go back to the villa to have dinner with You Dechuan. I am empty-handed, so I can just bring Li Zhifeng along, and no one else will bother, just bring two jars of wine.

You Miao was quite reluctant to give You Dechuan this kind of good wine, but it was annoying to think of the human face and the bark of the tree, and to be ridiculed by Wang in his heart.

It was a rare day when there was nothing to do, so You Miao went into the study and started to sort out the current affairs.

The land has been reclaimed, but there are still not enough tenants. There is no rush to do this, so we can only recruit people slowly.Now there are seven families, and 350 mu of land has been leased out. The land is too large. I am afraid that it will not be fully planted in a while, so I can only find a way to buy new farming tools. It happens that the iron is still there. I will come to follow the book this afternoon. Talk about writing and drawing, and hand over a few blueprints to Mu Yan to type.

The waterwheel is almost finished, and the canal has been dug.Jiangbo Mountain Villa had criss-crossed sub-canals a hundred years ago. As long as water from the mother canal comes in, all the fields in the entire villa can start to sow seeds. The purchase of rapeseed must be done as soon as possible, and this matter must be in the forefront. After the farm tools are made Just have to do it.

After the completion of the waterwheel, three hundred feet of moso bamboo pipes had to be prepared to lead part of the water from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the river, and the bamboo pipes were tied to the iron cable that spanned both sides of the cliff.There was originally a clear spring on the Jiangbei Mountain, which flowed down from Guozhuang, passed through Jiangbei, and then rushed down the river. The bamboo pipes were just for emergency use.

It's better to build another suspension bridge. You Miao always feels that every time you cross Jiangbei, you have to go down the river along the road, walk five miles to the pier to take the ferry, and then go up the mountain on the other side. It's really annoying, Qiao After Jue finished planting tea forests, he also had to hire tea farmers to pick tea, and he needed a suspension bridge.So the suspension bridge connected the north and the south, and when there were too many people walking, a road had to be built to lead to the official road in Anlu Village in the south.

As soon as You Miao is free, she wants to add some weird gadgets to her villa. There are too many interesting things in Tiangong Kaiwu, such as a mill pushed by water, and a small waterwheel next to the canal , even the mechanism in the mill, even the donkey for pulling the mill can be saved, so that any tenant who wants to grind something can just bring it over, there is also a mortar for pounding rice, a wooden dustpan for dusting the shell...

Zhang Er came, put down a bag, and said hello to You Miao outside the door.

"Morning, young master."

You Miao said lazily: "Come in. Mu Feng! Mu Feng, go and pour some well water in, and get some tea from the third compartment on the cabinet, and make tea for drinking."

Mu Feng went to get the tea set, Zhang Er said with a smile: "There are a lot of people in the house, it's lively."

You Miao yawned and said, "If you want to, you can live in."

Zhang Er said with a smile: "I think so, I'm afraid the young master will find me annoying."

You Miao said: "You just live here. If you have nothing to do, you can talk to some of my boys. My brother-in-law is also here. If you don't understand reading, just ask him for advice, and help take care of the backyard by the way."
