After Zhao Chao left, You Miao bowed slightly to Sun Yu, who asked in a low voice, "Who is inside?"
You Miao told Tang Hui's story, and Sun Yu's reaction was just as You Miao expected. There was no approval or objection, but he just said, "You can do it as you see fit."
You Miao asked, "What do you think, sir?"
Sun Yu nodded, didn't say more, just coughed a few times before leaving. You Miao thought he was blaming himself for overstepping his authority, and hurriedly helped Sun Yu through the corridor, saying, "At that time, things were urgent, and the students didn't have time to send their books back to Maocheng..."
"No...cough!" Sun Yu waved his hand hurriedly, patted You Miao's shoulder, and nodded.
You Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and Sun Yu tried his best to say, "You... did a good job... If you can make up your own mind, you don't need to... Ask Mr.... Cough!"
You Miaofu became nervous again and asked, "Mr. ill?"
"Wind and cold." Sun Yu coughed a few more times, indicating that it was okay, sighed, and said, "I was greedy and ate cold things a few days ago, so I have a cough."
You Miao nodded and said, "I'll take Mr. back to the room."
Sun Yu was over his old age, and his body was gradually unable to support it. In the past, when he was supervising the army, he had caused the root cause of the disease. You Miao asked the old servant who was serving Sun Yu, and learned that there was no bloody phlegm, so he felt relieved. And let Mu Feng go to the shop tomorrow to find some warming medicine for Sun Yu to eat.
When Ye Youmiao was still treating Tang Hui's injury, Tang Hui whispered: "Ziqian, when my brother entered the capital, it was thanks to you. Now that Your Majesty has given me a chance to redeem my sins, I still have your recommendation..."
You Miao felt sad and comforted: "Brother Tang, you can't say more polite words."
Tang Hui nodded and said, "Big brother knows that you don't need to say thank you, but Big Brother promises you that as long as I have my life, I will fight to the last moment on the battlefield. I won't let you and His Highness be ashamed. ."
You Miao sighed, knowing that Zhao Chao's decision to use Tang Hui was a greater kindness than leaving him alive, and everything was finally settled.
A few days later, the first snow came. There is rarely such a beautiful snow in Yangzhou. This winter, the snow was quite heavy, and it swelled overnight. The river was frozen. Children laugh and play in the snow on the street.
In the political affairs hall, the crowd cheered with enthusiasm.
"Ruixue is a good year." Tang Bo flipped through the memorial and said casually, "I hope the coming year will be a good harvest."
You Miao thought for a while and said, "According to the climate of Jiangbo Villa in previous years, there should be no major drought or flood this year."
Sun Yu caused a cold, and he was sick for several days. Today, he finally went to Zaochao, but before he returned, Zhao Chao put Tu Risheng in the prison without consulting the civil and military officials at the court. Do not cut, do not mention. It's a compromise solution. This afternoon, after having lunch, all the rare documents in the political affairs hall were approved, and they all slipped out to watch the snow scene during the work.
The servant Mu Feng came in with the invitation, You Miao took it and asked, "Where's Li Zhifeng?"
Mu Feng said: "The general went back to the villa, afraid that the waterwheel would freeze and crack, and he was leading people to paint new paint."
You Miao asked again, "Is the Yangtze River frozen?"
Mu Feng said, "In the words of the young master, the Yangtze River will not be frozen like in previous years."
You Miao was relieved, opened the invitation and took a look, and saw that it was Xie Hui's folded plum post. In the twelfth lunar month, the plum blossoms were in full bloom. Xie's family in a garden in Yangzhou, three miles away from Yangzhou City, is known as the first garden in the south of the Yangtze River. . It is expected that in addition to You Miao, many young talents have also been invited.
"Does Li Zhifeng have a post?" You Miao asked again.
Mu Feng said: "The general also has one."
You Miao thought that since both of them have invited, just go. When he returned to the hall, he threw the post in front of the case. Tang Bo glanced at it and smiled, "Brother You also received an invitation from Meiyuan. already?"
You Miao nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Xie Shangshu's banquet has a lot of people invited, is Brother Tang also going?"
"No no." Tang Bo said hurriedly: "On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, only unmarried men will go to the plum garden. When we get married, we will all go home and have a bowl of Laba porridge."
You Miao was very embarrassed at the time, thinking that this was what he meant, Xie Hui was too leisurely, and he also helped the children of the Jiangnan gentry as a matchmaker. But think about it, wasn't that the case in Beijing back then? This is what it means when men and women come into pairs on the night of the Yuan Dynasty. However, he and Li Zhifeng had made a private promise for life, it would be embarrassing to go, and it would be impossible if they didn't go. Just have to deal with it.
On the day of Laba, the snow had not yet melted, and new snow had been added to the old snow. When he got up in the afternoon, Li Zhifeng waited outside the political affairs hall and rode You Miao into Xie's house.
The plum blossoms in the garden were lush and fragrant. As soon as You Miao entered, he was greeted by a group of civil servants. You Miao nodded perfunctorily and said hello without smiling. Li Zhifeng was still the same, with a cold face.
The pavilions and pavilions in the plum garden are exquisitely made, and every plant and tree, rockery and bamboo forest, are very particular. You Miao turned around and realized that it was just the same, so she smiled at Li Zhifeng: "It's not as spacious as our garden. The decorations are just average."
Li Zhifeng said: "There are still many gardens in Jiangnan, which are not as good as here."
Xie Quan couldn't help laughing and crying behind his back: "Master You, it's the Shen Yuan where your family lives, so I think this garden is just like it..."
You Miao was very embarrassed, so he hurriedly gave Xie Quan a haha, but Xie Quan didn't care, and said, "The plum garden is the top of the winter scenery in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Well." You Miao said: "It's still very delicate..."
You Miao and Li Zhifeng played around at will, and they were all single people, most of whom didn't know each other. Ping Xi, Li Yan, Qin Shaonan, Lin Luoyang and other old friends had all become families. In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between himself and Li Zhifeng must be hidden from the conscientious. But even so, Jiangnan elegant scholars are still acceptable, they only regard You Miao and Li Zhifeng as playing together, and a family must be formed.
However, Zhao Chao doesn't care, and of course no one can control You Miao. Xie Hui intends to marry his niece to You Miao, so he filled the garden all day looking for You Miao. After finally finding You Miao, they found that You Miao and Li Zhifeng were digging something in the northeast corner of the garden.
Xie Hui's mouth twitched, You Miao and Li Zhifeng were still talking.
Li Zhifeng: "You ask him to ask for it first, then dig up the owner's stuff..."
You Miao said: "Hey, it's okay, dig it up first, otherwise we don't know this garden well, and we won't be able to find a place once we leave. He must give it."
Xie Hui coughed a few times, and You Miao was taken aback. When he turned around, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Xie."
Xie Hui nodded, You Miao and Li Zhifeng were wearing luxurious robes, but their hands were full of mud. You Miao said to Xie Hui, "I want to ask Lord Xie for this camellia."
You Miao pointed to the muddy ground. The camellia was not so much a flower as it was a weed. It was squeezed by a group of peonies. I don't know what this is, so I threw it in the corner and left it to fend for itself.
