The set of porcelain cups and pots were flowing, with a fragrant gray color, but the texture of the whole body was delicate. Li Zhifeng said, "It's expensive?"

"Yeah." You Miao wanted to bluff him, but Li Zhifeng didn't know Ru kiln utensils either, so he said sternly, "If it was really Ru kiln, this set of cups and pots could buy our entire villa."

Li Zhifeng nodded slowly, You Miao brewed a pot of Biluochun, the common name of Biluochun was "scaring incense", and the green tea was poured into the cup, and the aroma of the tea was immediately fragrant.

"There is only one pot, but there are many cups..." You Miao murmured, "It's like a master who takes several wives..."

Li Zhifeng couldn't help laughing, and You Miao joked, "My father said it."

"We are a warrior." Li Zhifeng said, "I only want to be with one person in my life, and I will live my life in a steady way. Sons and daughters, don't worry about life and death."

You Miao snorted and replied, "Han people like three wives and four concubines, just like my father."

"What about you?" Li Zhifeng picked up the teacup with his long fingers and held the bottom of the cup with his sword fingers. You Miao suddenly felt that this person was no longer his slave.

You Miao smiled and didn't answer. Li Zhifeng drank the tea and said, "Of course you want three wives and four concubines."

"That's not necessarily true." You Miao replied casually, carrying a pot to add tea to Li Zhifeng, and said, "It's better to see the people."

Li Zhifeng drank the second cup of tea, and neither of them spoke. The room was quiet. You Miao stared outside in a daze, and suddenly thought of not wanting to get married.

He has always been deviant, whether it is because he inherited his father's temperament, or when he read books for the past few years, he has resisted in his heart, and regards unfilial filial piety as a big bullshit. But in the final analysis, it may be more influenced by her parents. My mother is a quirky beauty, and my father is also an unruly genius.

Getting married, marrying a wife, having a group of children... How does You Miao feel that these things are so far away from him? If he wanted to choose by himself, he might as well not have a family, just stay with Li Zhifeng and live a small life.

Anyway, since the old man prefers You Hange, let him go to the children and grandchildren. The previous owner of Shen Yuan was lonely, maybe moving here, which is not a good sign... You Miao thought wildly, and the more he thought about it, the further he went, until Li Zhifeng broke the silence.

"Let's go and strike the iron." Li Zhifeng said.

You Miao sighed and nodded. Li Zhifeng walked out the door. Seeing that the twins had already taken a bath, he pointed to one and said, "Come with me." Then he said to the other, "Follow the young master. Follow orders."

Li Zhifeng took Mu Yan out, while Mu Feng was still waiting outside the gate, and You Miao said, "Come in."

When Mu Feng came in, You Miao said, "Pack up your things and be careful not to break them."

Mu Feng cleaned up the tea set in the hall lightly, and You Miao got up and stood in front of the porch for a while with his hands behind his back. After a while, Mu Feng came over after finishing his work, quietly, and stood behind him and listened to the instructions.

You Miao looked back at him, and saw that Mu Feng's face was washed a bit cleaner and his hair was smooth, but his clothes were still dirty and torn. He was standing all over, a head shorter than himself.

I have to find a tailor to make two sets of clothes for these people... You Miao went to the backyard while thinking about it. The whole Shenyuan was tidying up. Four tenants moved in, and they immediately became popular. There were also children shouting in a peaceful atmosphere. You Miao naturally couldn't let them live here all the time. After the autumn harvest this year, they would have to go out and build a house by themselves.

"master."

"Hello sir!"

A tenant was smoking a dry cigarette, and several people were sitting by the well chatting. You Miao nodded and said, "Just call me young master, I'm not old yet."

The widow surnamed Qian came over and said with a smile, "Young master, I can't go to the ground either. I was just talking, why don't I go and cook for the young master."

"Okay." You Miao said in her heart, "It's good if you can come and help, and I'll give you fifteen dollars a day."

Widow Qian hurriedly said, "No, no, how can I take the young master's money?"

As he spoke, he glanced at his two sons. One of them was eighteen years old, and the other was only sixteen. You Miao couldn't remember their names. Widow Qian was in her thirties. Qian, the widow Qian said quickly: "You should be able to help the young master if you want to eat."

Youmiao nodded and said, "Li Zhifeng can't be busy by himself. Let's put it this way first. Everything in the kitchen is complete. When he comes back, you can ask him to get the rice and noodles in the warehouse."

You Miao walked around the courtyard, and saw that the Niu family was boiling water for the child to bathe, and the two and a half older children were laughing and making trouble in the wooden barrel. go.

There is an arch in the backyard of Shenyuan Garden. Go through the crescent gate and go into the courtyard. This is the place where Tang Wan lived in the past, called Ting Zhuhai. It is separated from the east wing where You Miao lived, and there is a lake across the dry lake. I went to the zigzag bridge, and when there was water, it was a rather unique little world.

Looking out from the window of You Miao's room, it was the bamboo forest, and opposite the bamboo forest was the Tingzhuhai courtyard. At this time, Qiao Jue was letting the servant clean up and moved into the courtyard.

"You can't eat without meat, and you can't live without bamboo." You Miao stood outside the courtyard with a smile on her sleeves, and heard the sound of a ding dong.

Qiao Jue's voice said leisurely: "No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar. Miaozi, you are really a good place here."

The surrounding area has been renovated once by the big and small beams, and the bamboo forest rustled in the wind. Qiao Jue came out in a white robe with a cloud pattern embroidered on the robe, holding a jade pendant in his hand and tying it to the waist, saying, "Outside. All the bamboos are Xiangfei Bamboo, which has grown for hundreds of years. Even the salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture can’t ask for such a garden. One day if you are short of money, you can dig and sell this Xiangfei Bamboo, and you will not worry about two taels of silver. food and clothing."

You Miao jokingly said, "I'm still thinking about how to save money. I cut all the bamboo and used it to build scaffolding."

Qiao Jue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, patted You Miao on the back of the head, and said, "Burning the qin and boiling the crane, you can come and see the tea seedlings with me."

You Miao didn't look at it carefully before, but now that Qiao Jue was free, he took him to the backyard. Cheng Guangwu was arranging the three-foot-tall tea seedlings one by one, and Qiao Jue assisted him and said, "This is the best Longjing. Look at this branch, the pattern of the leaves, do you understand it?"

You Miao only understands green tea. He just nodded and shook his head when he heard the words. Qiao Jue told him in detail the cultivation of tea trees, what soil and water to use, how to pick them, and how to take care of them throughout the year. At the end, Qiao Jue said: "I have to recruit day laborers to work. I have to plant all the tea trees within three days. I don't think you have enough tenants here, so I have to go out and recruit."

You Miao said, "So fast?"
