There was no place to take a bath in the academy, and water could not be boiled, so he had to go to the bathhouse outside to wash. You Miao went to Beijing in a turbulent way, and was half sleepy.
When You Miao woke up the next day, breakfast had been set in the room, and the fog had not cleared in the early morning. Zhang Wenhan was packing his luggage outside, and Li Zhifeng was sweeping the floor in front of the porch. The other doorways were all messed up, only the outside of You Miao's room was swept clean.
As soon as You Miao woke up, Li Zhifeng entered and waited, while Zhang Wenhan came in with his clothes and shook them away, waiting for You Miao to wear them. Few of the scholars poked their heads at the door, as if they had seen something strange—it was indeed a strange thing, a man was serving Another lifter.
You Miao also noticed it and said, "Zhang Wenhan, you don't need to worry about me, just keep busy with yourself, it's not good to spread the word."
Zhang Wenhan said, "No matter what they say, the young master is the young master after all."
You Miao said: "You are not my servant in the first place. We are companions in the villa, and we have only been friends in these years."
Zhang Wenhan replied: "If it wasn't for the young master, Wenhan could only cover one volume, carry a few books, and wander around, how could he still be today?"
You Miao knew that Zhang Wenhan was a man who valued friendship and repaying his kindness, and he couldn't say anything in his heart, but after thinking about it, he still ordered: "You can't be like this when you meet an official outside."
Zhang Wenhan nodded, and You Miao stopped forcing him and sent him out for breakfast.
"What's in the cafeteria?" You Miao asked.
"Dough, pickles." Li Zhifeng replied.
When You Miao heard it, she lost her appetite and said, "I don't want to eat those."
Li Zhifeng took a robe and put it on You Miao, and replied, "I know you won't eat it, so I bought chicken porridge and cakes."
You Miao immediately moved her index finger and went out to sit in front of the porch. There were three food boxes outside, Zhang Wenhan set dishes and chopsticks, three bowls of hot chicken porridge, and a stack of nine steamed sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus milk cakes. Waxy, burnt quail torn into shreds on a plate, and a bowl of tea eggs.
"Eat." The three of You Miao sat and ate. A scholar came out in front of the porch to wash their hair and face, so they greeted them. When they passed by, they couldn't help but take a few more glances. You Miao was also seen feeling uncomfortable and was about to move in Eating in the room, but reluctant to bear this wonderful spring morning. Said: "It's hard to live anywhere, it's hard to be rich and rich, and it's hard to be poor and poor."
Li Zhifeng smiled and Zhang Wenhan said with a smile, "Whatever they think."
"The mouth of defending the people is better than defending the river." You Miao tapped the bowl with chopsticks, pointed to Zhang Wenhan, and said, "Take it easy, don't get enrolled in the first book without taking the exam."
Zhang Wenhan couldn't hold his chopsticks with a smile, and said, "I heard that the young master is flourishing in the capital, who are you afraid of participating?"
You Miao said solemnly, "Who said that? It's nothing like that."
Zhang Wenhan said: "Listen to what my husband said, saying that the young master can eat well in Beijing, even the son of the prime minister's residence has to be polite to the young master."
You Miao said: "I only had a few playmates back then. Can Li Yan be polite to me? Go to hell..."
Just as he was talking, two servants, Chang Yuan and Shao Wei, came over and stood in the yard. Chang Yuan said, "Morning for the young master."
As more and more scholars started, they all stood and watched, as if they were laughing and wandering, and they even brought their home pomp to Zhang Guozi School, he, it was interesting.
You Miao did not avoid people, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Chang Yuan said: "I just got up, come here and listen to my orders."
You Miao said, "Bring the purchase list with you. You two go to Xishijiekou and eat whatever you want. It's in the public account. You will send me a box of oolongs later. You forgot to pack it when you unloaded the truck yesterday."
Chang Yuan bowed and said yes, then led Shao Wei away. You Miao was not full last night, and ate five milk cakes, a large bowl of porridge, and three tea eggs in one go, and said contentedly, "Boil some water, Have a cup of tea."
Li Zhifeng tidied up the table, Zhang Wenhan went to fetch the stove to make a fire, You Miao sat down in the corridor, a group of scholars came back early after eating, and were discussing where to go to play. It was weird and interesting, when someone came up to say hello and said with a smile, "I heard that you Liuzhou people can't live without tea."
You Miao groaned: "I'm used to it, but it's not like you people from Jizhou like to eat spicy food? Brother Zheng, please."
You Miao gave him a seat. A group of scholars were standing in the yard discussing where to go. Someone asked, "Brother You Xian, Zheng Yong, Zhang Mohuai, are you three going to enjoy the spring scenery together?"
You Miao smiled and said, "No, I just arrived in the capital, I'm not comfortable with the environment, I'm lazy, you guys can play."
Zheng Yongchao said, "I can read books."
Zhang Wenhan didn't even speak, just waved his hand, and then raised the pot to make tea. At this time, someone came outside. The person who came was a middle-aged man, dressed in Chinese clothes, wearing a belt inlaid with jade, and wearing a jade finger on his hand. Behind them, a group of housekeepers followed, and the scholars were all startled. They thought it was the government who came to get people, and immediately fell silent.
"What's wrong?" You Miao was blocked from seeing.
Zhang Wenhan said, "There is an official here, does the young master recognize him?"
Li Zhifeng suddenly said: "The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion are here, the third housekeeper Li Mo."
The middle-aged man asked in the courtyard, "By the sound of the question, is Young Master You from Liuzhou there?"
"Yes." You Miao said, "What's the matter? Let me have a look... ah! Who am I talking about! Why is it you, come and drink tea."
The middle-aged man took out a seal from his sleeve, stepped forward and handed it to You Miao, saying, "My young master has invited Pingxi from the household department, Sima Huang from the Dali Temple, the son of Ling Hanlin, the young man from the Ministry of Rites, and a few masters from Gyeonggi. , prepare for April 15th, set up wine and listen to the play at Qinghezhuang, and let Young Master You catch the wind. I don't drink tea, and I have to go to the palace later."
You Miao took Feng'er and said, "Okay, you go back and tell Li Yan that you will come over when the time comes." After thinking about it, he laughed and teased, "That kid Li Yan went to Tingyulou last night, what's wrong with that? Not honest."
You Miao knew when she thought about it that Li Yan could not have known that he was going to Beijing so soon, and You Miao had a face-to-face meeting with Liu Shaling of Tingyu Building on the bridge yesterday, and she was also recognized by her on purpose, so Li Yan went to sleep. When he was old, Liu Shaling would bring it up.
Unexpectedly, Li Yan went there last night. When he learned of You Miao's return, he sent someone to send a message to let him go.
The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed by what he said, and bowed to retire.
The scholars did not know where he came from, and they whispered to each other. When they looked at You Miao again, their eyes were a little different. At first, they thought it was just an ordinary young master, but the butler reported a large list of names, but the official position calmed everyone down.
