Chapter Seventy-Nine: Change (II)

At the end of July, a heavy rain passed through the country, and the weather was excellent.

In the General's Mansion, all kinds of flowers are in full bloom, and Song Xinyou leaned on the soft collapse of the window on the second floor, enjoying the scenery while tasting sake.

She is not good at drinking, but this is brewed by Miss Su'er herself, saying that it is very helpful for raising the fetus, so she has a drink, which is not impossible.

In recent months, the two counties of Wenyang Changding have developed rapidly, and the agricultural and mulberry merchants and industries have shown vigorous vitality, all kinds of shops abound, and the monthly tax revenue has been increasing, and there are many displaced people from other counties who want to make a living in these two counties.

The name of the prince has long been spread.

My father had sent someone to inform him of this.

Song Xinyou is happy to see this, but she doesn't care much about it, she trusts her husband's ability very much.

What she is most concerned about is the servants assigned to the **** garden, how many of them can be controlled by herself.

You can't rush this, you have to take your time, it's a long-term business.

Since she was pregnant, the housekeeper's affairs were taken over by her mother-in-law, and what she did at this time was afraid that it would be easy to be noticed.

Come to think of it, Zhao is cautious and practical, and he should not fight for power with himself at this time.

Song Xinyou exhaled softly, secretly rejoicing.

Compared with a few cousins, his current situation is already enviable.

There is only one flat wife in the family to compete for favor, and from a humble background, regardless of ambition, at least now he can't compete with her, at present, Wang Hongyi is anxious for a big cause, and he has not accepted other maids, mainly between the two wives.

As long as he gives birth to a boy in this womb and has the eldest son, his status in the house will be unshakable.

The breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers fills the air, giving people a sense of sleepiness. Stroking his lower abdomen, after a while, Song Xinyou fell asleep.

Wang Hongyi, who had just finished his official work and walked into the main courtyard of the inner house, saw such a picture of a beautiful woman sleeping.

Stopping the words of several maids, Wang Hongyi smiled, lightly covered the thin blanket next to the woman, gently picked it up, and walked into the house.

Placing the sleeping woman on the collapse, Fang stepped out, and said to several servants, "Although it is cool outside, you must not let the lady stay for a long time. If there is any mistake because of this, you will go and confess your sin. ”

"Slaves and maids remember the teachings of the Lord. The servant woman bowed her head and said respectfully.

At the same time as stepping out of the main courtyard, a figure followed when others were not paying attention.

"Tell me, what's going on in the inner courtyard of your home recently?" In the hidden corner, Wang Hongyi asked flatly.

The man in front of him bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Lord, everything is normal, the eldest lady has been very sleepy recently, and the second lady is now studying hard to study, and has run to the farm a few times, and there is nothing unusual about anything else." ”

"Oh. Got it, go down. Wang Hongyi was silent for a moment and then said.

The man bowed to him in silence and quietly withdrew.

"That's good" Wang Hongyi was very comfortable, turned around and walked towards the study, and decided to go to Zhao Wan's courtyard today.

In the afternoon, Song Xinyou woke up and heard the report.

"Madam, this is sent by the general, saying that it is a tea of filial piety below, and a copy is given to you, you see. The maid smiled and held a beautiful box, walked over, and carefully placed the box on the glass table beside her: "Except for you, I heard that only one copy was sent to the old lady." ”

"Oh, is it? Second Lady doesn't have that courtyard?" Song Xinyou asked lightly, opening the lid of the box, a faint fragrance of tea, faintly transmitted, and the fruit was of the highest quality: "Well, this tea is good." ”

"But no, only you and the old lady have it, the general really still values you the most" The maid said with a smile, she is a maid who marries, so she naturally values interests.

Yes, not necessarily, but Wang Hongyi attaches great importance to the status of his wife, and has some friendship for her, it is still true.

After thinking about it for a while, Song Xinyou closed his eyes in a daze.

"Madame accepted the tea?" Wang Hongyi, who was busy with official business, heard the servant's reply and nodded: "I already know, you go down." ”

"No. The servant stepped aside.

"Yu Liangbo, come, you can also taste this tea. Raising his head, he poured a small cup himself, and handed it to the person opposite, Wang Hongyi said with a smile.

"Thank you for the tea. Yu Liangbo was busy thanking him and raised his glass to drink tea.

"How?" Wang Hongyi asked when he saw that he had finished drinking.

Yu Liangbo reminisced and said: "It is different from the tea I drank in the past, I really can't imagine that there is such a way to make tea." ”

"This tea drinking, drinking is the artistic conception and variety, and the tea ceremony is a university question. may be a master of this way, but there are not many. Wang Hongyi seemed to fall into memory: "There is a person who can be called a master of the tea ceremony." ”

"The person the Lord said, but Lu Yu?" Yu Liangbo said.

"Yu Liangbo also knows this person?" asked Wang Hongyi with a smile.

Yu Liangbo nodded and said: "This person is a famous tea ceremony, very famous, and a person from this county, could it be that the lord wants this person to come here to teach tea?"

"Do you know anything else about this person?" Wang Hongyi asked, not answering.

"This ......" Yu Liangbo thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This person is not famous in other aspects except for some fame in the tea ceremony, does this person still have other talents?"

"Yes or no, you can know when you see each other. Wang Hongyi said with a smile.

"The lord wants to see this person? This man lives in seclusion in Changding County, he has quirks, and he is easy to see guests, and the lord summons him, but he may not be willing to come. Yu Liangbo hesitated and said.

Wang Hongyi said: "I didn't summon him, but went to visit." ”

Saying that, he stood up, approached the window, looked at the scenery outside, and whispered: "In this hot summer, to sit in the bamboo garden for a while, it is to enjoy, so it is decided, tomorrow morning, go to Changding County, and meet this person." ”

After a pause, he said with a smile: "Zhang Youzhi's wife is said to be about to give birth, so I won't call him to go, and when I have a child, I will have a heavy reward." ”

"No. ”

At this time, a Lu family manor at the bottom of the mountain has already welcomed a guest.

"Mr. Ouyang, my husband is waiting for you in the garden, please come with the villain. A boy of eleven or twelve, bowing down, said respectfully to the guest.

Ouyang Tu smiled and said, "I'm in trouble." ”

"The villain is just a servant, don't dare to be" The young man lowered his head slightly, and replied.

"It's a little interesting, Lu Yu really lives up to the name of a hermit, and even the servants and children in the family are a little extraordinary" Seeing the young man walking in front, Ouyang Tu couldn't help but think.

Led by the boy, up the mountain, this is a forest, a green black pine tree, up the path for half a mile, Ouyang Tu is a little sweaty.

The two walked side by side, bypassed a piece, and arrived in the bamboo forest, which was strange to say, and only approached the bamboo forest, but a gust of wind penetrated, but it was cool.

The two walked along the cobblestone road, and when they arrived here, they saw thousands of bamboos verdant and vibrant, and when they walked in it, a cool gust of wind would blow.

This bamboo forest, the outside does not seem to be big, into it, but suddenly imitated into the bamboo valley, layer after layer, not only can not distinguish bamboo branches, bamboo and bamboo leaves, even houses, paths and small bridges can not be seen, as if all submerged by the sea of bamboo.

When a gust of wind blows, there are dark waves on the bamboo sea, a wave pushes a wave, and it swells far away, it is difficult for you to know how deep the bamboo sea is that tender blue and dark green, walking on the bamboo path, you will immediately feel a refreshing pleasure, and after walking a few steps, you will see the first floor.

"This should be it. There is an attic built in the forest, and there is indeed Yaxing. Ouyang Tu muttered to himself, walked a few steps closer, and said loudly to the bamboo building: "Brother Lu Xian, is it okay?"

Soon, one person responded in the building: "Brother Ouyang, Lu has been waiting for a long time." Brother Ouyang went up the mountain this time, but there is something to talk to me about?"

Ouyang Tu stood in place, and there was already a person in the middle of the building, stepping out of the building.

I saw that this person was long and jade, looking like he had been standing for a long time, with a black beard, which did not damage his elegant and handsome appearance at all.

Ouyang Tu is already elegant, but in front of this person, he is still slightly inferior.

"Brother Lu Xian, you and I have been friends for many years, why laugh at the foolish brother?

"Brother Ouyang, what you said is serious, it's just a joke, why care too much?" Pulling Ouyang Tu into the seat, Lu Yue said with a smile: "Look at my bamboo forest, how about it?"

Ouyang Tu was a little envious, and said: "This place is extremely elegant, and it is really a good place to live in seclusion with a cup of tea." ”

"The bamboo grows fast, the little brother ordered someone to cut down the trees, planted thousands of bamboo roots, and sure enough, it didn't take three years to grow, and a new tea was made here, please Brother Ouyang a taste. Lu Yu said.

At this time, a maid came out of the small building, came with a tea set, and waited.

"Just smelling this smell is already tempting," Ouyang Tu said with a sigh ......when he saw Lu Yu making tea with his own hands.

"The taste is also invited to Brother Ouyang. Hearing Ouyang Tu say this, Lu Yu said with a smile, and after a while, a cup of tea was sent to Ouyang Tu.

Ouyang Tu didn't hesitate, picked it up and tasted it, didn't speak for a while, and then said: "Clear and fragrant, it's just right to use it at this time." ”

"It is a great honor for the younger brother to make Brother Ouyang comment like this. Hearing Ouyang Tu say this, Lu Yu said very happily.

Ouyang Tu put the teacup down for a while, stared at the other party for a long time, and said: "Brother Lu Xian, in fact, you have a talent for governing the world, why are you willing to be named only after the tea ceremony?"

"What, Brother Ouyang came here this time, didn't he just come to visit the younger brother?" Lu Yu heard this, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked.

"Now the second county of Wenyang Changding is under the jurisdiction of the prince, this person has the appearance of a bright lord, don't you think about it?"

Ouyang Tu looked at each other fixedly, and said sincerely: "You and I have known each other many years ago, and I have an understanding of your talent, in the eyes of outsiders, you are just a hermit in the tea ceremony, but you have the talent to govern the world, but you are so drowned in the countryside, don't you think it's a pity?"

When Lu Yu heard this, his bright eyes looked at the bamboo forest in the distance, the wind blew the bamboo forest, and every minute and second brought the unique tranquility of the bamboo forest in the wind, which made people feel refreshed.

After a while, Lu Yu took a sip of tea and said: "Bamboo and tea, it is a gentleman's friend, I have long been determined to do this, and this career is still exempt." ”
