To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 188 Volume 4 Subtracting Word Magnolia

Tang Bo took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Good tea goes with a good cup."

Li Zhifeng also said indifferently: "I grow it myself at home, and I like to drink it too."

Jiangbo Oolong was paired with Ru kiln porcelain, and Tang Bo couldn't help admiring: "After the rain, it's clear, isn't it the set that Mr. Qiao Qi used a hundred years ago?"

"Yes." You Miao said with a smile: "The tea sage Lu Yu visited the south of the Yangtze River and drank green tea three times at Qiao Qiye's house. He gave this tea cup to Qiao's family as a gift, and it became a family heirloom. Later, when my mother got married, she brought it here again. After speaking, he laughed at himself: "Mr. Tang's family has a big business, and it's not very good to entertain. The ordinary utensils are not worth paying attention to, so I have to invite the best tea set from Jiangbo Villa."

Li Zhifeng said: "Is it a fake or real? You said it was a fake last time?"

Last time, You Miao just casually talked and teased Li Zhifeng, but Li Zhifeng still remembered it, and immediately laughed, watching Li Zhifeng smile amusedly, and Li Zhifeng was used to being coaxed by You Miao, with a helpless expression on his face.

Li Zhifeng: "Always tease me, teasing me is fun?"

You Miao smiled and said: "It's fun, it's the most fun to see you serious."

Tang Bo shook his head helplessly, seeing the two flirting, he said, "Master You is joking."

You Miao said solemnly: "Brother Tang, it's really an imitation. Although Lu Yu gave it to Qiao's family, it is not the real Ru kiln. It's just that my mother likes it, and it has a certain taste, so I have been keeping it."

Now it was Tang Bo's turn to be embarrassed, and Li Zhifeng couldn't help laughing.

Tang Bo nodded again and again, "Since it's in Master You's hands, it's an imitation, it's real, it doesn't really matter."

You Miao said happily: "That's the truth, but Brother Tang has the final say. If Brother Tang says it is true, it is true. Brother Tang doesn't care. It is naturally a fake."

Tang Bo seemed to be referring to something else in You Miao's words, so he kept silent and nodded. You Miao said again: "In He Motie'er's tent, I once made tea for him. He Motie said , the Han people are obsessed with antique utensils, no wonder they will perish. Although my apocalypse, four books and five classics are profound and profound, the words of the barbarians are not enough. But looking at the present, there is indeed such a truth. Although a set of teapots and cups are exquisite, how can they compare Extraordinary?"

"Yes." Tang Bo said happily: "That's exactly what I mean. Antique calligraphy and paintings, even gold and silver, are possessions outside the body. If no one completes them, they will be thrown in the corner. They are just a pile of waste porcelain."

Li Zhifeng didn't understand this, but both You Miao and Tang Bo understood the meaning of the words - now that the Tang family is about to be captured by hundreds of thousands of refugees, Tang Huaili is exhausted.Soon the Tang family will flee, and no matter how big the family business is, it will be ruined.

You Miao said again: "There is nothing to do at night, brother Tang sleeps in the back garden, behind is the Tingzhu courtyard, and lives next door to my brother-in-law."

Tang Bo sighed: "The scenery of Shen Garden is very good. Brother You Xian's yard, not to mention the nearby ones, is also one of the few in Yangzhou."

"Where is it?" You Miao humbly said: "The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade."

Tang Bo buckled the empty cup, took out another box of tea, and said with a smile, "This is the autumn dew drink brought to me by my family. Brother You, try it."

Tang Bo took it, and You Miao was finally able to be arty with the children of the aristocratic family, and said with a smile: "Yo, this is also a famous tea, no worse than our beautiful lips."

"It's far away." Tang Bo said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You Xiandi's tribute tea from Jade Rain Villa used to be worth a tael of tea in the south of the Yangtze River, but it's a pity... I don't know when Liuzhou will be able to grow tea mountains again."

"The matter of the Northern Expedition is uncertain." You Miao sighed, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Tang Bo kept talking about the war, but You Miao kept diverting the conversation, which made Tang Bo very embarrassed.Originally, You Miao just asked a few questions about Tang Bo's current situation along the way, or commented on the war, and Tang Bo could get to the point.As a result, You Miao circled around and fought on the periphery. Tang Bo was really scared, so he could only whisper: "Here is another painting. It was also brought from home. Last time my brother said that I have nothing to do." But come here, I didn't know it at the beginning, but later I found out that it is the master of Shen Garden, and ordinary things don't dare to use it as a cliché..."

You Miao cheered up, unfolded the painting, and froze immediately.

"This..." You Miao was dumbfounded: "Isn't this the one hanging in the palace?"

What Tang Bo sent was an original picture of Nine Horses Spring, which was painted by a famous artist in the previous dynasty. It was the painting that hung in the Prince's study back then.

Tang Bo nodded and said with a smile: "This is the real one. The one in the palace was imitated by the national teacher Zhang Xiaoxiao during the Taizu period."

This painting is priceless, so Tang Bo just gave it away. Although You Miao didn't like calligraphy and painting, he knew the value of these elegant things, so he couldn't make things difficult for Tang Bo anymore, so he said: "Thank you, Brother Tang."

Tang Bo pointed out the seal below and told You Miao about the authenticity. You Miao nodded again and again, still admiring in her heart.

"Brother You Xian's golden rice bowl is still in the Political Affairs Hall." Tang Bo smiled again: "I wonder when you will come back?"

You Miao thought to himself that you finally understand, anyway, Tang Bo is a smart person in the first place.He didn't take away the golden rice bowl back then, presumably Tang Bo also knew that You Miao was only retiring temporarily and would come back sooner or later.However, even though everyone wanted to break their heads, they didn't expect You Miao to be so ruthless.

"I'll go back in a few days." You Miao replied, Tang Bo had come to admit defeat willingly to ask someone, and he no longer got cheap and good-looking, and said straight to the point, after all, under the current situation, they can be said to be standing in the same camp.

Li Zhifeng asked: "How is the situation in the DPRK and China?"

Tang Bo sighed, and said: "It's still necessary to hurry up. I don't know what's going on now. Tu Risheng's mob is on the north bank of the Qinghe River, and they will enter Yangzhou in one step. The Yangzhou army is divided into two groups, all the way through the ancient tea-horse road and then heading south again. , all the way back to Maoxian County, the court and China have endless disputes."

Li Zhifeng took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment and then asked You Miao: "Go back tomorrow morning?"

You Miao hummed, looked at Li Zhifeng, and thought that you usually don't see it, but now you are quite responsible, and couldn't help laughing.I thought Li Zhifeng would be indifferent to this matter.

Tang Bo asked: "Can I enter the court today?"

You Miao and Li Zhifeng were startled, Tang Bo was in such a hurry?However, it's not bad when you think about it carefully. The military situation is like fighting a fire, so it's not okay to delay it for a day.

"Okay." You Miao nodded quickly and said, "Change into clothes, let's go."

You Miao and Li Zhifeng followed Tang Bo back that night, arrived in Maocheng in the middle of the night, and went straight to the palace after arriving.You Miao didn't wait to be informed, and Li Zhifeng, who was in military uniform, passed by the side hall, and accidentally glanced inside, and saw many ministers standing inside.

Tang Mi, Lin Zhengtao is waiting in the side hall, a group of civil servants, all from the Jiangnan family, the Lin family, the Tang family, the Xie family, and Li Zhifeng's Xie Quan who joined the army.

You Miao stopped, smiled at the civil servants, and nodded slightly.

You Miao: "Hello, my lords."

When Tang Yu and others saw You Miao, they had complicated expressions and nodded. You Miao thought to himself that these guys don't know what's going on now, and if they know what happened to him and Zhao Chao, they have to eat them alive.It was inconvenient to speak at this time, so as not to be seen, so he waved to Xie Quan, and the two met in the corridor and walked towards the study.

"Why are you back?" You Miao asked.
