Power to the government and the public: Qian engaged in business in ancient times

Chapter 84 The Humble Art of Pottery

Tao Zhe saw that his frank and dazed look was not fake, and then looked up at the ordinary guard beside him dressed intoxicated.

Intoxicated nodded and shook his head.

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart that Wen Qian's drug was so powerful that Tao Zhe immediately lost his memory of that night, and the memory he recalled now is not comprehensive, so he naturally recognized the person in Tao Zhe's memory.

It's just that Tao Zui didn't expect that Tao Zhe would come to the Chen Mansion to ask the truth, instead of plotting against the Chen Mansion privately as in the past, it seemed that he had to find a flawless excuse.

Tao Zhe received the hint from Tao Zui, and looked at Chen Linong deeply for a while, after confirming that he was not lying, he took Tao Zui out of the gate of Chen Mansion, and couldn't wait to ask.

"Tao Zui, what did you mean by nodding and shaking your head in front of Chen Yuanwai just now?"

Tao Zhe lowered his eyes and whispered: "Young Master, is there a possibility that someone pretends to be Yuanwai Chen?"

Tao Zhe was taken aback when he heard the words: "You mean, the face-changing technique is only known by the people of the Jianghu!"

Tao Zui didn't speak, and looked at Tao Zhe expressionlessly.

"Forget it, I don't know if I ask you, go back and ask my father." Tao Zhe shook his head and got into the carriage.

As soon as Tao Zhe and the others left, the housekeeper of Chen's mansion took the young servants and reported to Chen Yuanwai that Li Mo, the county magistrate, had already escorted the princess back to Siyang City, and was not in the county government office.

Chen Linong frowned when he heard this, and walked back and forth in the living room.

Soon the servants who went to Longyin Escort came back, and they also brought a bad disappearance. Mr. Wei was not in Anle Town, but went to Xuancheng for urgent business.

Chen Linong's eyes were reddened by all the bad news, and just about to lose his temper, he suddenly remembered the invitation card from his son, "Housekeeper, what day is today?"

The trembling housekeeper was already ready to bear the master's anger, but he didn't expect him to ask a question suddenly, and hurriedly replied, "Master, today is the tenth day of June."

"The tenth day of June!" Chen Linong frowned upon hearing this, and could kill a fly.

From the fifteenth day of next month, the son's crowning ceremony is only a few months away!
It takes a day to ride a carriage from Anle Town to Xuancheng, and then go to Siyang City, which is almost half of the Anyang Prince's Mansion's fiefdom.

Thinking of this, Chen Linong sighed, finally had a chance for Zhier to make friends with powerful people, just because of this sudden injury!
If you let me know who is so-called, I will definitely strip him of his skin!

Chen Linong restrained his mind, and smiled on the surface: "Housekeeper, let someone prepare the carriage, I'm going to Wen's Village."

The butler was stunned: "Master, why don't you investigate the young master's injury?"

"Investigate! You will be fully responsible for this matter. Just in the absence of County Magistrate Li and Lord Wei, try to win over other gentry families. It's best if you can get them over. If you can't get them over, let them remain neutral!"

"Yes, sir." The butler respectfully ordered, turned and left the living room.

Chen Mansion, the back door.

A gorgeous carriage drove out of the Chen Mansion, out of Anle Town without haste, and went straight to Wenjia Village...

the other side.

Tao Zhe, who returned to the other courtyard of the Tao family, immediately ordered his servants to search the entire courtyard.

Tao Yi, who was bored in the room practicing the piano, became tense when she heard Tao Zhe's words, and immediately ordered the maid, Cai Ling, to come into the yard to find out the news.

Tao An led his servants to search the entire courtyard carefully, and soon found a piece of emerald green jade pendant in the flower bed not far from the door that night.

He immediately held the jade pendant and came to Tao Zhe who was drinking tea: "Young master, I picked this up in the flower bed in the backyard!"

"Jade pendant?" Tao Zhe took a look at the jade pendant in Tao An's hand, "Huh? Isn't this my jade pendant?"

Tao An smiled flatteringly: "Young master, you forgot that you gave this jade pendant to a boy surnamed Wen in the Wind and Rain Tower, and you even call him brother and brother!"

"Surname Wen?" Tao Zhe's eyes turned cold, and he stood up suddenly: "Wen Liang!"

"Could it be him that night! Pretending to be a member of the Tao family and coming to the other courtyard of the Tao family, isn't it the secret of the Tao family... No, we must send someone to find this person immediately!"

"Intoxicated, Flying Pigeon to send a message to inform my father."

"Yes, young master." An intoxicated and indifferent voice sounded in the air.

Tao Zhe closed his eyes, although he didn't know why Wen Liang didn't go to the poetry meeting, but instead found Tao's other courtyard, what was the purpose of coming here.

He knew very well that An Le Town couldn't stay here any longer.

Immediately ordered the personal maid, Jinjuan, to go to the backyard to inform Tao Yi, and immediately set off to leave Anle Town.

Tao Yi in the room had just finished listening to the ring bell, and learned that Mr. Wen accidentally left behind a jade pendant, so Dang even ordered Yin Wei Tao Qi to report to Wenjia Village.

boom!
The door of the room was suddenly opened.

Jin Juan walked in with her toes high and high, and saw Tao Yi sitting by the window with a jade qin in front of her, and her maid, Cai Ling, carefully serving her.

There was a trace of jealousy in her eyes, and she casually made a servant salute, and said with a small mouth: "Second Miss, the eldest young master asked the servant to inform you to clean up the things, and set off for Xuancheng immediately, you have to hurry up, don't let the servant come Urge you a second time!"

The color bell who loyally protects the lord at the side didn't wait for her own lady to speak, and glared at her angrily: "Jinjuan, why do you talk to the second lady as a servant, I am not afraid that the young master will punish you for committing crimes!"

"I'm a slave, but I'm the young master's slave, or the young master's liaison girl."

Jinjuan took a step forward, looked at the color bell sneeringly, her slightly raised eyebrows made her pretty oval face look full of sternness, and her eyes looked contemptuous: "You are a lowly maidservant who dares to challenge me, you want to die!"

After finishing speaking, Jin Juan raised her right hand and slapped Cailing's cheek.

Tao Yi got up suddenly, grabbed Jinjuan's hand, sneered at the corner of her mouth, and looked at her calmly: "Jinjuan, remember, as long as I am still the first lady of the Tao family, you are not qualified to be a lowly maid." Play presumptuously in front of me!"

Jin Juan was taken aback for a moment, then she looked at Tao Yi fiercely with her beautiful eyes: "You!"

Snapped!
The moment Tao Yi let go, a slap landed on Jin Juan's face, and she said coldly, "Who gave you the courage to look at Miss Ben with such eyes!"

Jinjuan covered her face, staring at Tao Yi in shame and indignation.

"What? Do you still want Miss Ben to give you another slap?" Tao Yi twisted her wrist arrogantly, pretending to strike again in the suit.

"Hmph! Second Miss, I'm waiting to see how long you can be arrogant and domineering. Your fate may be better than that of your servant!" Jinjuan turned pale from being frightened by Tao Yi's actions, put down her harsh words, turned and left angrily.

"Ringling, pack up, let's go to the front yard." Tao Yi looked at Jinjuan's back, complex colors flashed in her eyes.

Knowing that big brother Tao Zhe is suspicious of her, it seems that he can't act rashly.

Thinking of Mr. Wen's ability, I'm afraid that the elder brother Tao Zhe can't find him with just a jade pendant.

Cai Ling came to her lady with a package in her arms, with timidity and worry on her face: "Miss, I have packed all my things, will the young master..."

"Don't worry, I still have a chance!" Tao Yi's thoughts were interrupted by the ring bell, seeing the obvious panic on the ring ring's face, she patted her hand reassuringly.

"But the young master that night...if Tao Yinwei hadn't caught Wen..."

"Ring Ling, remember, don't reveal a single word about what happened that night, or you and I will both die!" Tao Yi directly interrupted the ringing ring, with a sneer in his eyes.

Cai Ling stared blankly at her own lady who was smiling, and always felt that she seemed to have become more confident, and she no longer had that kind of illusory softness and hatred when she spoke.

"Did you hear that?" Tao Yi, who was walking forward, didn't hear Cai Ling's answer, and turned to look at her with a warning face.

"Understood, Miss." Cai Ling nodded seriously and followed behind her.

When Tao Yi came outside the mansion, he saw Tao Zhe was talking and laughing with the first-class maid, Jinjuan, while they were playing around from time to time.

Seeing her coming, Jin Juan immediately put away her smile, and looked at her with hints of jealousy.

As if he was not the young lady of the Tao family, but a little fairy who wanted to compete with her for Tao Zhe's heart.

This kind of weird atmosphere that is out of place and used to it makes Tao Yi feel uncomfortable and helpless at the same time.

Since the end of spring this year, the emperor has decreed that Tao Ying, the eldest daughter of the concubine of the Tao family, will enter the palace as the concubine.

She was originally an unfavorable prostitute, but the moment Tao Zhe knew the truth, she became a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of everyone in the Tao family.
