When the men around heard this, they rushed over again, and Qiao Jue immediately said, "Don't squeeze! Squeeze my young master carefully!"
Li Zhifeng was protecting You Miao, and there was a group of people around, Qiao Jue brushed her sleeves, and said calmly, "There are so many of you, I can't tell the truth for a while, so let's start tomorrow, Go to Jiangbo Villa for yourself, go out of the official road from Yangzhou City and go north, cross the Wulidian and take the fork on the left, cross the river to the northwest, and ask when you see Anlu Village. , think of a way to go."
"Master, do you have land to plant when you arrive?" Someone asked.
Qiao Jue said, "Not necessarily. It depends on whether you are sick or not. Let's talk about it when you come."
The minds of the elders were scattered in different ways, and Qiao Jue said, "Aren't you going to choose a few maids?"
"Let's do this first." You Miao smiled and said, "I can't afford more."
The first man surnamed Song squeezed over, nodded and said, "Master."
"I'm short of a flower planter, let him go with me." You Miao took the initiative.
Seeing that You Miao liked this father and two sons, Qiao Jue nodded, took out a little piece of silver and weighed it, put it in the man's hand, and said, "You pay the debt, but don't run away with the money."
The surnamed Song smiled and said, "Where can I go, thank you young master, thank you young master."
That day, Qiao Jue took You Miao and Li Zhifeng home. Yangzhou Shaoyuan Tea House was located in the Fengweizhu alley. It was not much different from when he came three years ago. You Miao stood outside the alley and heard Bai's voice inside. The voice was scolding the servant girl.
"You are so old in a mixed breed." Bai Shi's voice was sharp: "You can't even handle a water well, what do you eat!"
When Qiao Jue heard that the sister-in-law was cursing, her face became impatient, but You Miao took his hand and waved it with a smile. The three of them went into the Qiao's courtyard and saw Bai Shi's hair disheveled, sitting in the courtyard washing his feet.
"Sister-in-law, where is the second brother?" Qiao Jue asked.
"I went out for a drink." Bai Shi said with a dark face, "What kind of person are you bringing with you... Yo, Miaozi!"
Bai Shi changed his face and smiled, You Miao said with a smile, "Second aunt."
"Your eldest brother said about you when he came here years ago." Bai Shi got up and said with a smile, "Come here and sit down."
You Miao hummed, she just couldn't get through with her sleeves on her sleeves. His mother and this second aunt had always been at odds with her aunt and sister-in-law, and Qiao Zhang was under the control of his wife. He didn't even want to go home every day. Feeling disturbed when you come in. The Qiao family has You Dechuan to help most of the time. You Miao knew that she must have changed her attitude towards You Hange now, and didn't really want to get close to her, so she avoided it.
Qiao Jue went into the inner room to wash her face and said, "Second brother won't come back for dinner?"
Bai Shi said loudly: "How did I know him, he runs outside all day, as if he lost his soul, and now I don't know where to listen to the play..."
You Miao walked around the yard twice, and was surprised to find that the yard had become smaller.
When Qiao Keer took him back to his parents' house when he was a child, he and Qiao Jue chased and fought in the courtyard. At that time, he thought the courtyard was very big and spacious. Why is it so small now? After a few steps, we came to the end, which was boring.
The whole yard was also dark and depressed. Qiao Jue was talking in the room, You Miao jumped step by step, and asked, "Where's my cousin?"
"Are you married? You're at home." Bai shi grabbed a bamboo stick and pulled out the maid who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "How can I run to her mother's house every few minutes."
Qiao Jue added: "After dinner, my nephew is hungry too."
Bai Shi got up lukewarmly and went to order the meal, Qiao Jue said, "You Miao is eating in my room, come here, my uncle will accompany you to drink some wine."
When the lantern was in charge, dinner was served, but Qiao Zhang never came back. Qiao Jue accompanies You Miao for a meal, and the shopkeeper in the tea house came over to reconcile the account. Tomorrow, he has to open the door to do business. Jue had to put the chopsticks away, instructing You Miao to eat and drink well, and then go to the shopkeeper to reconcile the account.
Li Zhifeng and You Miao sat and ate. On the table, there was a plate of pig ears, a plate of shredded rabbit meat, two cold dishes, fried duck with ginger, steamed live fish, and fried bacon with garlic sprouts. .
You Miao was eating the rice. He was not used to cooking at his mother's uncle's house. The steamed rice was hard and lacked water. He casually said, "I don't even have a steamed egg custard."
"Go back and steam it for you." Li Zhifeng said.
"The rice is so hard that it choked to death." You Miao complained.
Li Zhifeng smiled, he ate three big bowls by himself, but when he went to fetch the rice, the bucket was empty. You Miao only ate a small half bowl. He poured the leftovers into Li Zhifeng's bowl and watched him eat. His voice was arguing with Qiao Jue. Still arguing in front of the shopkeeper of the tea house, I thought it was Qiao Jue who said something.
"Without tea seedlings, with the virtue of your second brother, who do you want to go to..."
"That's not what I said, second sister-in-law, this is what Miaozi wants to plant..."
"Nephew, nephew, I don't care about my own family all day long, I just run towards other people's houses..."
"Is there anything else I can do at home?"
Mr. Bai's voice was sharp, and he couldn't stop digging into his ears through the wall. You Miao said, "That girl always thinks that my mother took a lot of dowry and left."
"Hmm." Li Zhifeng was eating and said, "Dowry."
"Who is in charge of the family now? I can't even speak a word!"
With a roar from Qiao Jue, Bai Shi finally calmed down, followed by the sound of slamming the door, and it was quiet outside.
After a while, someone passed by outside. You Miao looked around and saw a woman stopped in front of the porch outside the door and said, "Ah, Miaozi?"
That woman was Qiao Zhang's concubine. You Miao used to call her Auntie Sha and called someone, but she couldn't get up. Mrs. Sha looked at Li Zhifeng, smiled charmingly, and said, "Why are you here today? This little brother. Who is it?"
Li Zhifeng glanced at him, You Miao took chopsticks, poked his handsome face, and said, "Don't look at her."
Sha Shi left, and Qiao Jue came back after a long while with a sulky face, sat down and saw that there was no more food, and shouted, "Hongming!"
The little servant came over and carried the rice bucket to fill the rice, and came back after a while and said, "Fourth Master, the rice is gone."
Qiao Jue couldn't even utter a word. Li Zhifeng ate half a bowl leftover and gave way to Qiao Jue. Qiao Jue said angrily, "Eat yours!"
You Miao laughed and patted her thigh, Qiao Jue sighed and shook her head helplessly.
You Miao asked, "As for the tea seedlings, let's forget about the trouble. I'll talk to my second uncle another day."
Qiao Jue knew that You Miao heard it, so she didn't hide it from him, and said, "If you turn against her, I will take care of everything. What can a little tea seedling do? No one is planting it. You don't care about it. I will personally take care of it tonight. If you go to the tea house, you won't be able to stay here any longer."
Qiao Jue hastily ate some food and then changed clothes and went out. You Miao pretended to be in her own home, took up Qiao Jue's bed, and let Li Zhifeng come up. Xiang, and Li Zhifeng was holding his arm, You Miao said comfortably, "Uncle's bed is comfortable."
Li Zhifeng hummed, kissed Youmiao, and slept through the night. When Qiao Jue came back at the fourth watch, seeing that the two had occupied his bed, he leaned on the chair and slept for a while. At dawn, Qiao Jue He woke them up and said, "Get up."
You Miao was sleepy and didn't wash her face. She went out and got on the carriage in a daze. Li Zhifeng didn't know where she went. You Miao slept in Qiao Jue's arms again. When she got to the pier, she bought it at the ear market yesterday. Several people have arrived. Qiao Jue went to instruct the boatman, and gave money to the dock workers to carry the goods. Li Zhifeng brought the car over, and the six thousand catties of iron ingots boarded the boat first. The boat had already eaten half of the water.
"Eat." Li Zhifeng pulled over a small table, gave You Miao the steaming fried dough sticks wrapped in oil paper, and then turned around to buy a bowl of soy milk in the small shop by the river.
After You Miao had breakfast, she felt more refreshed, and Li Zhifeng distributed steamed buns to the newly arrived servants who were squatting by the river.
Li Zhifeng: "What's your name?"
"Cheng Guangwu." The tall and thin boy took the steamed bun and replied.
"I remember you both." You Miao said to the twins, "Mu Yan, Mu Feng."
The two twins didn't speak, they took the steamed buns from Li Zhifeng.
Another two families waited for a long time with their family and family, and one of the men said, "Master, give the children something to eat."
"All." Li Zhifeng distributed white-flour buns one by one, which was brought in by Qiao Jue. One family was named Niu and the other was named Qian. The family surnamed Niu is a man and a woman with a daughter, and the family surnamed Qian is a widowed mother with two and a half eldest sons.
The sky was getting brighter, Qiao Jue ate some fried dough sticks and handed it to the child. You Miao said, "Let's go, uncle, what are you waiting for?"
Qiao Jue's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't speak. Obviously, he was angry last night. You Miao went over to rub him shamelessly and act like a spoiled child.
When the river fog cleared, four cars came. The trunks of the cars were all three-foot-tall tea tree saplings. The roots of the trees were still covered with sackcloth. I brought all my belongings, Miaozi, I will rely on you more in the future."
You Miao said with a smile: "I will have a bite to eat in the future, and you will have a bite to eat. Let's go."
Five thousand tea trees were loaded into the boat, and several people went up. The big boat went all the way to Jiangbo Villa.
