To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 151 Volume 3 Man Jianghong

"How do I arrange it?" Qiao Jue asked: "Yesterday, hundreds of people were stuffed into me, and they couldn't be allowed to live in the Shen Garden, so I sent them all to the abandoned house in the west."

Li Zhifeng said: "Let's live in the side garden at the foot of the mountain on the west side, where it's quiet. You don't care about the rest, I'll make arrangements."

Qiao Jue nodded, and Li Zhifeng personally took someone to arrange You Dechuan to live in the side garden, so it would take two quarters of an hour to walk to the main hall, and You Dechuan would not be afraid to visit every now and then at night.

You Miao watched You Hange unload the things. There were seven large boxes on the car, and You Dechuan personally carried a copper lock box. You Miao knew that all the money his father had saved over the years was there.Just don't know how many.

In the past, he always felt that You Dechuan's money would never be spent, but when he was running the villa, he gradually realized the output income. You Dechuan only produced tea and sold tea in Liuzhou, earning more than [-] taels of silver a year. up.Back then, I gave You Miao a few thousand taels to Beijing, but I couldn't say that I didn't spoil him.

And the box that You Dechuan was holding in his hand was at least 8 taels of silver bills.

Judging by Youhango's expression, he probably doesn't even know how much money his father has.You Miao knew that You Dechuan was extremely concerned about Qianyi, so he might be on guard against his brothers—after all, the old man only had so much money to rely on.So You Miao didn't go to inquire about You Dechuan's money, and pretended not to know, as if he was poor and came to rely on his son.

On the contrary, Li Zhifeng generously gave You Hange 200 taels of silver for the flowers in his house, and asked Cheng Guangwu to buy a servant girl for the three of You Hange.

"We don't eat together on weekdays." Qiao Jue ordered, "Employ another person in the kitchen to cook three meals a day for my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is also getting old, so I can't save what I should."

These words are obviously for You Dechuan's consideration, but in fact, it is enough for him to eat in his own yard, and don't come over to join You Miao at a table.You Miao was amused to hear that, after settled You Dechuan, the rice grains were flying all over the meal, waving chopsticks and talking about it.

Li Zhifeng had a smile in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

Qiao Jue said, "I want to teach him a few words, just because I'm afraid you'll lose face."

You Miao: "Forget it... that's it, it doesn't matter if he comes and lives here."

That night, when You Miao was reading a book in the study, someone came outside to announce that a visitor had arrived.

The person who came was Ping Xi, who was waiting in the hall, while Li Zhifeng was entertaining guests.You Miao was copying a familiar book from memory, when she heard Pingxi coming, she said without raising her head, "Let him wait a little longer."

Now whenever guests come, Li Zhifeng is there to receive them in Jiangbo Villa. Qiao Jue has no official position, so when she sees an official coming, she has to salute, so she avoids it.And Li Zhifeng is the most worry-free when treating guests. The guests don't say anything, and Li Zhifeng doesn't speak.In case someone I don't know comes, everyone is exhausted by playing each other haha.

You Miao finished imitating the book, and went out with the ink still on the copy. Ping Xi and Li Zhifeng were sitting opposite each other drinking tea. When Ping Xi saw You Miao coming, he got up and said, "Why don't you go into the Yangzhou mansion?"

You Miao said: "I just came back, and I don't want to move."

Ping Xi said: "Everyone is waiting for you, only you are missing, everyone is here."

You Miao looked at Pingxi with a smile, came over and sat down, Pingxi said again: "The matter of moving the capital has been agreed, Brother Li has also been released from slavery, the Ministry of War is waiting for you two to take office."

You Miao and Li Zhifeng looked at each other, and You Miao asked, "Are you going?"

Li Zhifeng shook his head and said, "If you don't go, I won't go either."

You Miao Chaoping sneered and said, "We're not going."

Pingxi's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but re-examine You Miao. You Miao rolled up his sleeves, went to drink tea by himself, and said, "Your Highness asked you to come?"

Ping Xi shook his head, and You Miao said: "Recently, my health is not good, and my father moved to the villa again, so I have to spend some time to take care of my father..."

Then Ping Xi remembered, and said: "Yesterday, I heard that there was a discussion in Yangzhou City, saying that you put aside the past, took your father home, and have not yet met your uncle..."

The corner of You Miao's mouth twitched and said, "No."

Ping Xi was so embarrassed, neither sitting nor standing up.You Miao simply said: "The two of us will stop being bureaucratic. Besides asking me to go back to work, what else did you say?"

"Didn't say anything." Ping Xi had no choice but to be honest: "The Third Highness didn't say anything, it was Li Yan who asked me to ask."

You Miao said: "Let Li Yan do it by himself."

Ping Xi said: "His leg was injured, it's not fully healed yet."

You Miao pondered for a moment, and knew that she had visited Yangzhou the day before yesterday, and Li Yan and others sent Pingxi up after hearing the news.You Miao asked again: "What did the Third Highness say?"

Ping Xi said: "He is discussing with your husband, the magistrate of Yangzhou, about moving the capital. Everyone is here today, but you are missing."

You Miao knew that Zhao Chao was going to be crowned emperor, so she asked again, "When will you be enthroned?"

Ping Xi said: "I don't know, there is no money in the national treasury, so we can only pay from the warehouse of Yangzhou Mansion. The Ministry of War was the first to get up, and they have all been restored. Zhao Chao asked me to come to you two. I want Brother Li Zhifeng to lead the army. General Nie After the incident last time, he was demoted. Now the Yangzhou Army's military defense position is still vacant..."

"The commander-in-chief of the personal army asked me to be a foreigner." Li Zhifeng said, "Are you Han people relieved?"

There was a moment of silence, Ping Xi thought for a moment, then said: "It is His Highness the Third Highness who defies all opinions and uses you."

"No need." You Miao said, "Neither of us want to join the dynasty now."

Pingxi is also a smart person, so he nodded naturally, and asked You Miao again: "If you don't want to go, then I'll ask again, do you have any recommendations for the candidates for the household department?"

You Miao thought for a while, then shook her head.

Ping Xi hesitated for a long time, and finally seemed to be hardened, and said: "Borrow some more money, my brothers sent me to come to you to beat Feng."

You Miao immediately laughed out loud, almost knocking over the teacup, got up and said: "You said earlier to borrow money, so you don't have to talk about it for a long time."

Pingxi's forehead was covered with sweat, Li Zhifeng saw this and said, "I'll go get the money."

You Miao didn't ask how much he took, but just asked Pingxi, "Is there enough Kuyin in Jiangnan?"

"Not enough." Ping Xi said: "It's too far away. You need to eat and wear, you need to raise soldiers, you need to recruit soldiers, you need to build a palace, and there are a lot of things that need money. If you haven't seen the Yangzhou mansion, you will be crazy busy. "

While talking, Li Zhifeng brought five 200 taels of silver bills, Ping Xi took it, and said with a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much, it's time for flowers to be used."

You Miao said: "You're welcome, it's just that there is not much money in the villa... My father's Zhuangzi was hit by war again and was looted..."

Ping Xi didn't know about You Miao's family background, so he hurriedly wrote an IOU to thank you for going back, and You Miao wanted to stay with him overnight, but Ping Xi was busy going back the next day to assign things, so he said goodbye.
