At the end of July, a heavy rain passed by and the weather was very good.

In the general's mansion, all kinds of flowers were blooming in full bloom. Song Xinyou leaned on the window on the second floor, enjoying the scenery while savoring sake.

She doesn't like wine, but this was brewed by Miss Su'er, cousin, and said it was very helpful for nurturing the baby, so she had a drink, which was fine.

In recent months, Wenyang Changding County has developed rapidly, and agriculture, mulberry and commerce have shown vigorous vitality. Various shops are everywhere, and monthly tax revenues continue to increase. Many refugees from other counties want to make a living in these two counties.

The wise reputation of the prince has long been spread.

My father has sent someone to secretly tell him about these things.

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

What she cares most about was how many servants assigned to several large manors could be controlled by her own hands.

You can't be anxious about this, you have to take it slowly, this is a long-term career.

Since pregnancy, my mother-in-law has taken over the housekeeper's affairs. I am afraid that people will easily notice what they do at this time.

I think Zhao is cautious and practical, so he should not compete with himself for power at this time.

Song Xinyou let out a light breath and was secretly grateful.

Compared with several cousin-born cousins, my current situation is already enviable.

There is only one equal wife in the family who competes for favor, and she is humble. Regardless of her ambition, she cannot compete with her now. At present, Wang Hongyi is eager to make a big deal and has not taken up other maids in the same house, mainly between the two wives.

As long as I give birth to a boy in this child and have the eldest son, my status in the mansion will be unshakable.

The breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers fills the air, making people feel sleepy. After stroking their lower abdomen, Song Xinyou fell asleep after a moment.

Wang Hongyi, who had just finished his business and entered the main courtyard of the inner house, saw such a beautiful sleeping picture.

He stopped the maids' words, and Wang Hongyi smiled, gently covered the thin blanket next to him on the woman, picked it up and walked into the house.

He put the sleeping woman on the collapse, stepped out and said to several servants: "Although it is cool outside, you should not let the wife stay for a long time. If there is any mistake in this, you can go and take the blame yourself."

"I remember the Lord's teachings." The servant said respectfully with his head down.

At the same time, when he stepped out of the main courtyard, a figure followed him when others were not paying attention.

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

The man in front of him bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Lord, everything is normal. The eldest lady has been very sleepy recently. The second lady is now studying hard and has gone to the farm several times. There is nothing wrong with anything else."

"Oh. I know, you go down." Wang Hongyi said after being silent for a moment.

The man bowed to him silently and quietly stepped back.

"That's good!" Wang Hongyi felt very comfortable, turned around and headed towards the study, and decided to go to Zhao Wan's yard today.

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

"Madam, this is the general who sent it, saying that it was the filial tea below. I gave you a portion of it, look." The maid smiled and walked over with a beautiful box, and carefully placed the box on the glass table beside it: "Besides you, I heard that I only sent one portion to the old lady."

"Oh, is it? Is there no second lady in the courtyard?" Song Xinyou asked lightly, opened the lid, and the faint fragrance of tea came, and the fruit was the best: "Well, this tea is well made."

"No, only you and the old lady have it. The general really values ​​you the most!" The maid said with a smile. She was the maid who was dowry and naturally valued interests.

Is that true? Not necessarily, but Wang Hongyi attaches great importance to the title of his wife and has some friendship with her, but it is still true.

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

"Has the lady accepted the tea?" Wang Hongyi, busy with official duties, nodded when he heard the servant's reply: "I already know, you go down."

"No." The servant retreated.

"Yu Liangbo, come, you can try this tea too." Wang Hongyi smiled and said with a smile.

"Thank you lord to give tea." Yu Liangbo hurriedly thanked him and raised his glass to drink tea.

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

Yu Liangbo recalled and said, "It's different from the tea I drank in the past. I really didn't expect that tea can be made in this way."

"This tea drinks the artistic conception and variety. Tea ceremony is a great subject. There may not be many masters in this way." Wang Hongyi seemed to be in memory: "There is one person who can be called a master of tea ceremony."

"The person who the Lord said is Lu Yu?" Yu Liangbo said.

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

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

"Do you know other aspects about this person?" Wang Hongyi asked without answering.

"This..." Yu Liangbo thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, "This person has no reputation in other aspects except for some famous tea ceremony. Does this person have other talents?"

"If there is or not, you will know when you meet." Wang Hongyi said with a smile.

"The lord wants to see this person? This person lives in seclusion in Changding County. He is a quirk and does not easily see guests. If the lord summons him, he may not be willing to come." Yu Liangbo hesitated and said.

But Wang Hongyi said, "It was not to summon him, but to go to the meeting."

As he said that, he stood up, walked up to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said softly: "In this hot summer, I will sit in the bamboo garden for a while and enjoy it. I just made a reservation. I will go to Changding County early tomorrow morning to visit this person."

After a pause, he said with a smile: "Zhang Youzhi's wife is said to be about to give birth, so she will not call him to go. When I have a child, I will give you a reward."

"promise."

At this time, a guest had already been welcomed by a Lu family manor at the foot of the mountain.

"Mr. Ouyang, my husband is waiting for you in the garden. Please come with the villain." An eleven-two-year-old boy bowed down and said respectfully to the guest.

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

"The villain is just a servant, I dare not be a servant!" The young man lowered his head slightly and replied.

"It's interesting that Lu Yu really does not let down the name of a hermit, and even the servants in the family are a bit extraordinary!" Seeing the young man walking in front, Ouyang Tu couldn't help thinking.

Leaded by the boy, up the mountain, this was a forest, a black-green pine tree, and walking up the path for half a mile, Ouyang Tu was sweating a little.

The two of them walked together, bypassed one after another, and then arrived in the bamboo forest. They said it was strange that they had just approached the bamboo forest. A gust of wind came over, but it was cool.

The two of them walked along the pebble road. When they arrived here, they saw thousands of bamboos green and full of vitality. Walking in it, a cool gust of wind would blow in the wind.

The bamboo forest looks not big outside. When you step into it, you suddenly feel like it is a bamboo valley. Layer after layer, not only can't separate bamboo branches, bamboo leaves, and even houses, paths and bridges, it seems that it is completely submerged by the bamboo ocean.

When a gust of wind blows, dark waves surging on the bamboo sea, pushing waves one by one, surging far away. It is difficult for you to know how deep the tender green and dark green bamboo sea is. Walking on the path between the bamboos, you will immediately feel a refreshing pleasure. After walking a few more steps, you will see the first floor.

"It should be here. There is an attic built in the forest, which is indeed elegant." Ouyang Tu murmured to himself, took a few steps closer, and said loudly to the bamboo building: "Brother Lu, can you be there?"

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

Ouyang Tu stood there, and there was already a person walking out of the building while he was talking.

I saw this man standing tall and handsome, looking thirty years old, with a touch of dark beard that did not damage his elegant and handsome appearance at all. He wore a blue shirt and felt a kind of floating appearance while walking.

Ouyang Tu is already a gentleman, but she is still slightly inferior in front of this person.

"Brother Lu, you and I have been together for many years, why bother to laugh at Brother Yu? Do you think Brother Yu, a plain man, cannot come to the Lu Mansion if he has nothing to do?"

"Brother Ouyang, what you said is serious is just a joke, why bother to care too much?" Lu Yu smiled and said, "Look at my bamboo forest, how about it?"

Ouyang Tu was a little envious and said, "This place is extremely elegant, and it is a good place to live in seclusion for a taste of tea."

"The bamboo grows fast. I ordered people to cut down many trees and plant thousands of bamboo roots. Sure enough, it grew in less than three years. I will make a new tea here, so I will ask Brother Ouyang for a first-class product." Lu Yu said.

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

"It's already tempting to just smell this smell..." Ouyang Tu closed his eyes and sighed when he saw Lu Yu cooking tea.

"Please give me a taste of Brother Ouyang." After hearing Ouyang Tu say this, Lu Yu smiled and a cup of tea was delivered to Ouyang Tu after a moment.

Ouyang Tu took the taste without hesitation, and did not speak at first, before saying a moment: "Qing and fragrant, it's just right to use it at this time."

"I am very honored to make Brother Ouyang comment like this." Lu Yu said happily after Ouyang Tu said this.

Ouyang Tu temporarily put down the teacup, stared at the other party for a while, and said, "Brother Lu, in fact, you have the talent for governing the world, why are you willing to only get the name of the tea ceremony?"

"Why, Brother Ouyang is not just here to visit me?" Lu Yu heard this, paused in his hand, put down the teacup, and asked.

"Now the two counties of Wenyang Changding are under the jurisdiction of the prince and the king. This person has the appearance of a wise ruler. Don't you consider it?"

Ouyang Tu looked at the other party regularly and said sincerely: "You and I have known each other many years ago. I have some understanding of your talent. In the eyes of outsiders, you are just a hermit in the tea ceremony, but you have the talent of governing the world, but you are so drowned in the countryside. Isn't it a pity?"

After hearing this, Lu Yu looked at the bamboo forest a little further away with his bright eyes. The wind blew the bamboo forest, and every minute and every second, he brought the unique quietness of the bamboo forest, which made people feel refreshed.
