"I know, I know,"
Wu Youning listened to his brother's resentment and felt as if he saw a child acting up, so he helplessly coaxed him and said: "This place was opened by your current wife, Princess Taiping.
But what was she doing? Isn't it just to gain more control over the courtiers, and I won't come to gain control over you.
Besides, she is really a good wife and mother. Knowing that I want to invite you, I also encourage you to come and sit here more often.
Even those 'tea ladies' from before were selected by her personally and were the best.
She has treated you like this, but what else can't you think about?
Stop making trouble and live a good life with her. When she reaches the high platform, you will be inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people.
At that time, you, the authority, the woman, you will have whatever you want, what else are you dissatisfied with? This person must cherish his blessings, right? "
Wu Youji fell silent.
He felt like he couldn't make sense with his brother.
But he seemed to be made sense again.
Once, he watched his wife die in front of him.
Later, for the sake of his son, he could only tolerate and submit to Taiping step by step.
Now...if he can really put aside his personal grudges and treat his little nature with peace, there really is nothing he can't achieve.
He also wants power.
If he had been powerful, none of this would have happened.
And when he was really heading towards the highest power step by step, why would he refuse while clinging to his own grudges?
After all, it’s because you’re unwilling, right? Is it the man's dignity that is causing trouble?
Wu Youji let out a long sigh and drank another glass of water and wine.
After thinking about it, he said to Wu Youning: "Both you and Taiping took too many risks regarding the sap poison. Especially since she was too anxious in the end. From now on, we can discuss things together."
"Okay, okay, it's great that you can figure it out."
Wu Youning was overjoyed when he heard this, so he called in the "tea girl" to serve the two brothers as much as they wanted.
…
As for the townspeople in Rao Town who were envious of the young couple who seemed to be a perfect match made in heaven, after taking a bite of salted fish, they were so salty that they withdrew their longing eyes.
Just as he was about to go home, he saw an aunt in charge of sweeping the street, still staring at the back of the young couple.
The townspeople smiled and teased: "Aunt Hua, are you envious too? It's a pity that you are just a loner. How about I introduce you to a wife and make everyone envious?"
"spit!"
Aunt Hua spat at him, cursed him, and then turned into the back of the street with a big bamboo broom in hand.
There is only one main street in Rao Town.
Behind the shops on both sides of the main street, there are some scattered residential houses scattered in rows. There is an alley connected to the main street.
When the townspeople saw Aunt Hua sneaking into the alley, they laughed and went home carrying the salted fish.
He thought Aunt Hua was too shy, but he didn't know: it was Aunt Hua who entered the alley, and what came out was a rough man carrying a load.
Empty load.
The rough man with a beard carried an empty load and chased the young couple away from the town with brisk steps.
The young couple were still unaware.
The husband is very strong, carrying many heavy objects on one shoulder, and there is a small basket hanging on the thumb of the hand holding the load. The other hand held the wife's forearm to prevent her from slipping.
The daughter-in-law enjoys her husband's care with peace of mind, and only uses the embroidered handkerchief in her hand to fan the husband with a little breeze from time to time.
It seems that they are so in love that the world is jealous.
The road to Yuehua Village is quite far.
Yuehua Village is to the south of Yanghua Village.
In other words, if you want to go to Yuehua Village, you must pass through the two mountains and the V-shaped mountain gap from Rao Town to Yanghua Village.
Although the sun was already visible at this time, the light rain in recent days still made the road surface of the mountain road very wet and slippery.
When they reached the top of the slope on the left side of the V-shaped mountain gap, the young man told his wife: "Xiao Nier, you wait here. The road is dangerous, wait until I carry the load to the other side, put it down, and then come back to pick you up."
Xiao Nier responded sweetly and asked him to step carefully.
And behind a big tree not far behind the two of them, the rough man carrying the empty load flashed his eyes when he heard their conversation.
He quickly put down his empty load, took out the hand ax from his arms, and quietly approached Xiao Nier under the cover of trees and grass.
In the season of May, the turf is green, soft and dense. When you step on it, only grass juice splashes and no sound is made.
Xiao Nier held an embroidered handkerchief in one hand and supported the tree beside the road with the other. She stretched her upper body forward, stretched her neck and looked down. Her whole body and mind were focused on her husband.
The young man was also afraid that his wife would be worried, so he walked as fast as possible and slid down to the bottom of the mountain. He wanted to quickly deliver his things to the other side so that he could come back to pick up his wife.
Therefore, neither of them looked back.
The rough man approached quietly step by step.
Closer, closer, closer...
…
"Here we are, finally here."
Wu Muqing's sedan chair was carried directly into the "Ouxu Tea House". He was carried to his exclusive courtyard before being put down.
Li Yiyong got off the sedan first, and then turned back to invite Wu Muqing.
Wu Muqing took his extended forearm and slowly stepped out of the sedan, then stretched his waist and muttered: "We are finally here."
It feels like you have been sitting on a sedan chair for a long time.
Li Yiyong accompanied Wu Muqing with a smile and helped give Wu Muqing a few slaps on the back.
And in the house, Yingying Yanyan has come to greet her.
Wu Muqing laughed "haha" and invited Li Yiyong to sit directly in the very spacious backyard pavilion facing the lake.
In the large pavilion, brocade mats are spread on the floor and soft pillows and cushions are filled with light.
Sitting and lying on it, with the gentle breeze blowing and the reflection of the lake water, it is so refreshing and relaxing.
After Wu Muqing sat down, he stretched out his limbs and leaned on the shoulders of a "tea girl", looking at Li Yiyong who sat down cross-legged and straightened his posture.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "Relax. When you come here, you can relax your muscles, activate your blood circulation, and unblock your body and mind. Look, it's not bad here, right?"
When Li Yiyong heard this, he smiled and tried to stretch his legs and lean back.
He looked at the four scenes again, smelled the fragrance of the woman behind him, and closed his eyes.
This is really what a hard-working man wants to pursue.
"Huh? This little dress is really unique, but is it newly made?"
When Wu Muqing saw the wooden table set up on the brocade banquet, he felt that it suited his eyes very well, so he couldn't help but ask.
The tea girl who was kneeling next to the waiter making tea asked about it and replied in a soft voice: "To tell you this, the master specially ordered it to be customized. It was only delivered this afternoon."
"Your master is very kind."
Wu Muqing praised with satisfaction.
The tea girl bowed gently, thanked the guests for their compliments on behalf of her master, and then continued to make tea.
When Li Yiyong heard this, he gently stroked the catkins placed in the palm of his hand by the tea lady behind him with his thumb, and asked casually: "Uncle, do you know who the owner of this tea house is?"
