To Rule in a Turbulent World

"What about you? What are you doing?" Li Zhifeng didn't send You Hango off, nor did he care about Zhang Wenhan's affairs, and he sat and drank tea beside the host in a calm manner. You Miao replied, "I'm walking in the garden. Think about something."

Li Zhifeng was reconciling the account in the hall, and someone came to pass it on. Qiao Jue went out to arrange the plowing in the spring, to look at the fields, and to lend money to the tenants.You Miao nodded, and sat in the garden with her knees hugged, looking at the blue sky and white clouds.The spring in March is fine and the sun is shining brightly.He finally returned to his hometown.

The fall of the capital seems like a lifetime away, and the scholars fleeing south is like a crucian carp crossing the river. I believe that Sun Yu and everyone will discuss the details of moving the capital soon, and the capital will be Yangzhou.You Miao could almost foresee the scene where Zhao Chao came to Taibao and ascended the throne as emperor.However, it may be a protracted battle to fight back to the north and regain the Central Plains.The more chaotic it is, the less impatient you can be. You have to wait until the forces of all parties surface, then see the situation clearly, make a decision before making a move.

You Miao still remembers Sun Yu's earnest teachings in the past. Now that he knows that he has returned and has not called him to take up the post, it must be a clear signal.The best choice now is to stay in the villa, keep a low profile, and wait for the word from Zhao Chao or Sun Yu.

Looking at the fish in the pond, You Miao was suddenly full of nostalgia for Jiangbo Villa. After traveling in the north for a long time, his body was tired, but his heart was even more tired. Every plant, tree, flower and fish in the villa were full of indescribable feelings. tenderness.It seems to be the embrace of a mother, and when you return to the villa, you can wash away the dust all over your wanderer.

Mu Yan came over, but just stood with his hands down, standing beside You Miao.

You Miao frowned, looked at Mu Yan briefly, and asked, "What?"

Mu Feng: "The young master's father is here."

You Miao: "..."

You Dechuan finally went to Jiangbo Villa in person. You Miao was a little unexpected. Based on the time, it is estimated that You Dechuan couldn't help leaving before You Hange returned.You Miao didn't know how to face her father for a while, and asked, "Where is my father?"

Mu Feng said expressionlessly: "In the front hall, Steward Feng is drinking tea with him."

You Miao knew it well, got up and said, "Come with me to change clothes."

In the front hall, Mrs. Wang smiled apologetically and helped You Dechuan to sit down. You Dechuan coughed a few times and looked up at Li Zhifeng, seemingly dissatisfied.He wanted to scold him a few words, but when he met Li Zhifeng's eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, seeing his eyes were as sharp as a knife, he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Li Zhifeng glanced around the hall, then washed the cups and made tea on his own.

"Uncle You Shi, please." Li Zhifeng put the small cup by the desk, Cheng Guangwu came to take it, Wang immediately got up with a happy face, and said with a smile: "I'll come, I'll..."

You Dechuan said nothing, sat on the guest seat, drank tea, and said: "I heard that you traveled thousands of miles to rescue Miaozi from Da'an. You are really a loyal servant. I can't thank you for your sincerity. Thank you for your hard work."

Li Zhifeng said indifferently: "It should be. You Ziqian has been with me for five years, and he saved my life in the past. You Han people pay attention to the death of a confidant. That's what it means."

You Dechuan originally planned to say a few words of face, and remind Li Zhifeng by the way, let him respect his identity, and don't threaten the master with kindness, but when Li Zhifeng said this, he actually regarded You Miao as his younger brother, and immediately didn't know How should I answer the call.There was no words in the hall for a long time, and it was a little awkward.

You Miao came across the corridor, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant all the way, and the spring sun slanted on the ground. Halfway there, Cheng Guangwu handed over a letter and said, "Master, it was sent by someone from Yangzhou Mansion."

"What?" You Miao was surprised. There was no sign or signature on the letter. After opening it, she glanced at it, and there was only one sentence on it: "There is Hu Suisui, who is in Biqiliang. My heart is worried, and my son has no clothes." .”

You Miao almost staggered at the sight of that handwriting - it was Sun Yu's handwriting.

You Miao has copied Sun Yu's book for several years, and she is very familiar with this copybook-like handwriting.Immediately sat in front of the porch, carefully chewing the meaning of Sun Yu's poem.

There is Hu Suisui, who is in Qiliang, his heart is worried, and his son has no clothes...

This is a sentence in the Book of Songs, which describes a fox walking carelessly on the shore.And the woman was singing on the other side, worrying that her departed husband lacked clothes...

You Miao vaguely understood, Sun Yu told him not to rush into Yangzhou Mansion, but to wait and see on the other side first?

He folded the letter, knowing that Sun Yu and he meant the same thing.As a gentleman, he will clean up the mess for You Miao. At this time, don't be impatient.With Sun Yu's acquiescence, You Miao felt confident and walked into the hall.

No one spoke in the hall, like puppets sitting on their own. As soon as You Miao entered, the puppets started to move.You Dechuan seemed to be a little bit hopeful, but also a little bit relieved, with a very complicated expression, and finally condensed on his face.

"Miaozi—" Wang immediately got up and laughed.

"Father." You Miao nodded to You Dechuan first, and then called to Wang Shi faintly: "Aunt."

Li Zhifeng saw that something was wrong with You Miao, so he asked with his eyes, and You Miao replied with his eyes that there was nothing wrong, and sat down in the hall.

You Dechuan coughed, as if he wanted to say something. Originally, on this occasion, You Miao had to at least salute, but his son just sat there carelessly, and You Dechuan had nothing to do with him.

"Where's Big Brother?" You Miao said nonchalantly, "Did Dad come with Big Brother?"

Wang quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Your father didn't sleep well last night, thinking about it, getting up early in the morning, maybe he missed it on the way with your elder brother."

"Hmm." You Miao nodded and said, "Yangzhou is fine."

You Dechuan sighed, and said, "Miaozi, I didn't expect that the villa your mother gave you would be treated like this by you."

Wang said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's really a treasure of geomantic omen. Back then, I said that Miaozi looked like a person who would do great things. You see, it's only been a few years..."

You Miao smiled and said, "Li Zhifeng helped me a lot. I didn't even want this piece of land at first, but he built it for me bit by bit."

Li Zhifeng concentrated on pouring tea as if he didn't hear it.

You Miao teased him with a smile and said, "Hello."

"En." Li Zhifeng put the teacup in front of You Miao, and You Miao drank from the teacup, Wang and You Dechuan were very embarrassed for a while.Wang's eyeballs rolled around, and she said cheerfully: "Miaozi is coming back this time, but he is going to be a high official..."

"How many people escaped from the north?" You Dechuan interrupted Wang's words, and asked You Miao, "When will Your Majesty and His Royal Highness return to court?"

You Miao said: "This is probably the last wave, and it's gone. The two emperors are now in Yanbian, and they have fallen into the hands of the Tatars. Don't you know anything about Jiangnan?"

You Dechuan sighed, and said: "The rumor was passed on by someone, but I didn't expect it to fall to such a point."

You Miao nodded slowly, and both father and son fell into silence. You Dechuan said again: "I heard that in the Yangzhou mansion, your husband welcomed back the third highness. .”

You Miao hummed, and You Dechuan said again: "It's time to contribute to the country, you will be better off, and it's time to go find your husband."

You Miao thought that Sun Yu himself told him not to go, so he couldn't help but lose his mind for a while. Li Zhifeng was drinking tea, and when he heard this sentence, he seemed to be touched and glanced at You Miao.
