To Rule in a Turbulent World

There were two candidates in Jiangbo Mountain Villa. The news shocked the whole Yangzhou. You Miao ate dinner that day and chatted with Zhang Er until late at night. No, You Miao’s name is Ziqian, which Qiao Ke’er named Ziqian back then, but it’s not commonly used. It means “the highest kindness is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting. This is the virtue of humility.” Together, they gave Zhang Erzhong a name. Calling Zhang Wenhan, he called Mo Huai again.

The next day they came together, and someone came to congratulate him again. This time, it was the county magistrate of Anping County, Yangzhou. Originally, You Miao was from Liuzhou, and Zhong Zhiyuan had nothing to do with Yangzhou.However, Anping County has a son, Zhang Wenhan, in this villa, and the county magistrate came to visit him. Contacts and conversations are also much more familiar.

In the early morning of the third day, Jiangnan Youjia had uncles and brothers come to congratulate him, and they visited You Miao's villa by the way. For the next ten days, the visitors almost leveled the threshold of Shen Yuan, and he was exhausted from dealing with it. I want to close the door and thank you.

Ten days later, it finally calmed down. You Miao simply took all the servants in Shen Yuan out to collect peanuts, and posted a note on the door saying that Xie Yuan was not at home!When a customer came to the door, Zhang Wenhan was left to deal with it, and ran away.

It was half a month before You Hange came to the door again.

You Miao was learning how to pluck peanuts, when someone else pulled them up, a bunch of roots and whiskers came out. You Miao pulled it casually, and the upper branch broke off, leaving a bunch of peanuts buried in the ground, it was hard to laugh or cry.But You Hange found the land and shouted: "Brother! I have to go to Jiangcheng in a few days!"

Only then did You Miao remember the matter of paying homage to the examiner, so she clapped her hands over, shook off the mud all over her body, and shouted to the other end: "Li Zhifeng!"

Li Zhifeng straightened up and looked at him in the field. You Miao shouted, "Going to the city!"

Li Zhifeng shouted from the other side of the field: "What to buy?"

You Miao said: "Don't buy anything! My brother asked me to go to the city to pretend to be a grandson!"

As soon as those words came out, You Hange's face immediately became very embarrassed, but You Miao was right, he went to the city to pretend to be his grandson, otherwise what would he do?The reason why You Hange came to the door again and again must be You Dechuan urging him to come, because You Hange doesn't know how to deal with officials at all, and he doesn't like to please officials.It is even more impossible for You Dechuan to bring You Hango to the door in person, so he had to let the eldest son come to find the younger son, in order to let You Miao support his elder brother.

When Li Zhifeng came over, You Miao went into the hall first, wanted to change clothes, but changed her mind, and said, "What did the old man ask you to bring to visit?"

You Hange said: "I have two boxes of high-quality Biyu Qingfeng here, brother, take a look."

When You Miao saw the box, he knew it was a tribute. Such a box would cost 50 taels of silver at least, so he took a box first and said, "Call Zhang Er over here."

The guy outside the door went to pass on the news. Zhang Wenhan still lived in You Miao's house after he was selected as Juren. You Miao still asked him to clean up the study and help with some work. Zhang Wenhan was happy and didn't ask for anything else.It's time to come in, come in and greet You Miao first, and say, "Master."

Then he nodded to You Hango and said, "Brother You."

You Miao handed him a box of tea and said, "You see the examiner's gift, take it with you."

You Hange: "This..."

You Miao opened the box and showed it to Zhang Wenhan, and said: "Put the box well and don't spill it, the tea inside is a tribute."

Zhang Wenhan took it, nodded, and You Hange said again: "What about you, brother?"

You Miao said: "Li Zhifeng went to pack two sacks of newly harvested peanuts, and that's over."

You Hange: "..."

Of course, the peanuts belong to the peanuts, so if it’s not a big gift, you still have to seal it up. You Miao brought two jars of wine and didn’t change his clothes. You Hange said, "Brother, don’t you just dress like this..."

"Hey." You Miao said: "You don't understand this, let's go."

You Miao was covered in dust and mud, and Li Zhifeng was also wearing a brown robe. The two of them got on the horse like this. Even though You Hange complained in a thousand ways, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to follow You Miao all the way down the river to take a boat and head towards Jiangcheng. go to the house.

The two handed over the name cards in front of Sun's residence, and a housekeeper came out to greet them immediately and asked, "Which one is Liuzhou Jieyuan?"

You Miao was still wearing a sunshade straw hat, and stuffed a piece of silver into the butler's hand, and the butler immediately laughed and said, "Master Sun has been waiting for you for a long time."

You Miao said: "There is something at home and I can't leave, so it's time to come to see the teacher."

The housekeeper said again: "This is..."

You Hange immediately said: "I was elected this year, Biyu Villa, You Hange."

The butler nodded.

You Miao said again: "He is my brother."

The butler understood, and said, "Come together, two brothers." Then he let You Miao and You Hange go in. Li Zhifeng held the two bags of peanuts in his left hand and two jars of wine in his right, and the butler led them to the side of the hall. Go, You Miao told Li Zhifeng to follow and put the things in the kitchen.

After the transmission, the housekeeper came out and said, "Master Zhizhou and the master are talking, and I heard that the two of you are coming, and I want to see you."

You Miao nodded, followed the housekeeper in, and signaled You Hange to come in with her eyes.

It was noon at that time, Sun Yu, the official of Liuzhou, and Hai Muyang, Zhizhou, were drinking tea and gossiping. It was a good time for You Miao to visit the door. Respectfully called the word "teacher".

The two of them were very funny when they saw You Miao covered in mud. Hai Muyang asked, "Why is nephew You Shi covered in mud?"

You Miao asked You Hange to sit at the head of the guest, while she sat on the second from the right, and said with a smile, "I just finished harvesting peanuts in the villa, and I brought two sacks of peanuts grown by myself, and two jars of champion red for the teacher."

You Hange caught his eye, held up the tea leaves respectfully, and said, "My father ordered the students to prepare a little tea, I hope the teacher will accept it with a smile."

"Okay, okay." Sun Yu nodded, and he was in his fifties this year. Half a month ago, he was the chief examiner of the inspection tour, and Hai Muyang also came here twice a day as usual.

"Your father was very famous in Liuzhou, Yangzhou, and Suzhou." Hai Muyang said with a smile: "Now that you have set up such a large property and supported the two of you to study hard and get a good reputation, it can be regarded as I made a wish."

You Miao nodded again and again, knowing that the Zhizhou's "famous" is not necessarily a compliment, after all, her father messes around a lot, and scholars are not surprised.

Sun Yu didn't mention the township examination, and several people just said a few words on the scene. You Miao said: "My mother bought me a Zhuangzi before she was alive. The place is not big, but it is quiet. It's right by the river. If you are willing to come to Shenyuan, the students will sweep the seats and wait for you when autumn comes."
