The concierge was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped him when he saw Tao Rui was about to leave, "Sir, you do well, this is something small and you can't do it, you can't accept it. You stay and let the young one go in and report it."
Tao Rui raised his eyebrows, "Xuan Guogong deliberately went to the inn and settled the account with me. What can't be collected? If I don't collect it, I'm not going to carry the debt for a lifetime? Even though I don't think I owe Xuanguo government anything. But since Lord Xuan Guo mentioned it, I will give the money because he was my adoptive father.
But when the money is given, the relationship is broken. Don't come to me again. No matter intimidation or temptation, I will not wrong my biological parents for them. gone. "
Tao Rui pushed him away and left without any extra words. It was a posture of not entangled anymore.
The crowd of onlookers voluntarily gave him a way, but when the concierge wanted to chase him, they stopped him.
"Excessive, but the eldest son stole it, so that he can pay for all these years?"
"Thanks to Shizi's good fortune, or else he can't be driven to death by Heaven's Heng debt?"
"Isn't it? Think about it, ordinary people, if we ask us to take one thousand taels, we can kill people, but also ten thousand taels. Why don't we grab them?"
"Before I thought that this world would do nothing. It turns out that the family has good wealth and talents. Oh, think about it, the old Tao family will live a good life as soon as he recognizes him. This is a great blessing for him!"
"He's still filial! He is forced to look at the Xuanguo Mansion, he is forced to carry it to protect his parents, I heard that he is only seventeen, this is a real man, he is a good son of the Zhou Dynasty. !"
"Surely my parents are good to him, haven't you listened to what he said in the court? The Xuanguo government is not good to him, tut, no wonder it can do things like asking for money from the adopted son, or the stolen adopted son."
Although Tao Rui arrested the rumors and went to court, everyone has been more careful in speaking, and the rumors have been suppressed all at once. But at this moment, they are crowded and influential, and they can't get used to Xuanguo Mansion, so you can bury them at the gate of Xuanguo Mansion.
The concierge had no master, and hurried in to find the butler for help. The butler had already listened to the letter, and was running here from the ancestral hall. When I saw the ten white chests of silver and the people filled with righteous indignation, my eyes suddenly turned black.
He didn't care that the two masters quarreled in the ancestral hall, so he knocked on the door and called out. The housekeeper reported Tao Rui's words and the impact to Tao Qian, and Xia Rui also whispered to Tao Li about the Li Family Gambling Shop. This time Tao Li didn't have to show weakness and sell badly, she really didn't come up and fainted!
Tao Qian hurriedly asked people to hire a doctor, and asked the butler to send the silver back to Tao Rui, but the butler had concerns and persuaded: "Master Guo, think twice before doing it. Now the son is a pottery, and the mansion is jade. Bottle, if he fights his face and doesn't want to go ahead, then he will lose and lose if he hits it together. The government can't stand the setbacks anymore."
"Then what do you say? Accept it? That's not because I asked him for money if I settled down? Although the government of Xuanguo has fallen a lot, he won't count this money with him. This beast, he is deliberately discrediting. Do you want my reputation? Do you want the reputation of the Xuanguo government?" Tao Qian paced back and forth in the courtyard, full of anger.
The housekeeper sighed, "You don't know the temper of the son of the world. He can really fight it out, but the government can't fight him head-on. The little one shouldn't say something, if after the court, the two sides will not bother each other, and the son is also today. It won't come out like this. It was you who wanted to redeem the reputation of the Guogong Mansion when you went to find the prince, so he tore his face and repay the money.
Now he has spoken the words of grace and righteousness. From the young's point of view, he took this opportunity to deliberately wipe out the kindness of the government to nurture him. From then on, the people will not scold him for being unfilial. People's hearts are on his side.
If we stop here, there will be other opportunities to save face earlier, and wait for the three young masters to be promoted, the jinshi, and the champion, so that the government will get better and better, and outsiders will not remember what happened today. But if you trouble the son again, the younger one is afraid that he will ruin the third son by telling him about the Third Young Master and Miss Qin's family. "
The last sentence struck Tao Qian's heart.
He stopped, frowned and thought for a long time, only to realize that his stigma for asking for money was unclear. Tao Ruiming said that he was here to warn him, which meant that if he kept doing it, Tao Rui would do something bigger. At this point, even if Tao Rui doesn't have any evidence, as long as he says, people will believe it.
Tao Qian cast a rat avoidance device, and could only say aggrievedly, "Take the money, and make it clear to the people outside."
The housekeeper took the order and walked away. Tao Qian hammered his chest a few times, only to feel that he could not catch his breath and was so bored. This was all caused by Tao Rui, who was so angry that he scolded Tao Rui as a bastard. He was even more angry when he thought that he had raised his son for seventeen years for nothing, and that it was the idiot of Tao Li. What bad luck did he have to marry such a wicked woman?
The housekeeper still understands the people's psychology, and he said cheerfully when he walked out of the door: "Listen to me, what happened today is a misunderstanding. The wrongdoing has just come out, and both sides suspected that the other party had secretly changed the child, and they were grieving each other. It's normal. In fact, it is very likely that both sides have been wronged, and it is unknown that the midwife did the tricks back then.
Earlier, the grandfather of the country and the son were both emotional, and it was inevitable that they would not listen to their words, which caused the son to misunderstand. Our national government rewards people with a lot of money every year, how can we care about this money with the world?
Now that the elder son is still in anger, I will deposit the silver first. After a while, when the elder son is relieved, the grandfather of the country will personally send the silver back to him. After all, he is a son who has been raised for seventeen years, and he is affectionate. The grandpa now seems to be suffering from the loss of his son. I just heard that the things here are still uncomfortable and angina. I hope that everyone will compare their hearts and be considerate. We are the grandpa. I really hope that the elder son will become the one who will inherit the title, otherwise he won't ask for the title of the elder son. Everyone is right? "
Just now, a doctor ran into the door. Everyone saw it and was very anxious. It didn't look like a fake.
Of course, it was for the Tao Li family, and now it was put on Tao Qian's head by the butler, just to wash the image of Bai Tao Qian. He wasn't there the day the baby was born, and the whole thing had nothing to do with him. If he hadn't gone to the inn today to provoke the money back, the fire would not have burned him.
If the last thing has uncontrollable bad development, then abandon the Tao Li family, and protect the national father-in-law. The words of the housekeeper today are foreshadowing.
Such a call is still effective, at least it suppressed everyone's righteous indignation, and slowly dissipated. Although everyone's impression of Xuanguo Gongfu has deteriorated, this is already the greatest degree of worship.
However, this is only limited to the impression of ordinary people. For the honorable family, everyone will say the beautiful words on the face. Everyone depends on the essence. The Xuanguo Palace has been listed by many people on the list of refusal to communicate.
In short, the last time the heat has not passed, Xuanguo Gongfu has once again become a post-dinner talk in the capital. This time it was more than just holding the wrong child, there were a lot of stupid remarks about Xuan Guogong's incompetence. Even if he raises his son in the dark, he will be ridiculed. He hasn't done much by himself, isn't he even more despised by others?
Tao Rui made such a big noise, the Tao family who was busy visiting the new house had heard of it. Seeing him back, Xiu Niang hurriedly pulled him up and down to look up and down, worrying: "You kid, how dare you dare to talk to them directly? How about it? From now on, you will not be the son of the elder, but they will still be the government mansion. That is someone we can't afford. What if you hurt you?"
Tao Rui smiled and calmed down: "Mother, don't worry. It's just to keep our family going. If we let this happen quietly, we might have to disappear quietly after a while. The National Government can still do it without a few people. No one pays attention to it and no one seeks justice, and no one will find out what they are doing."
Qi Lang immediately said after hearing the words: "You can rest assured, whenever you encounter any danger, go to my house to deliver the letter, I will explain to the next person, first help, and then report, so as not to delay things."
"Thanks Mingxian." Tao Rui patted him on the shoulder. "Anyway, I know that it is them who are throwing the rat avoidance device. After this time, they should be able to stop and not come to trouble us again. Let's make a home here first. , Think about what to do in the future."
Everyone relaxed, and their attention returned to the house. Fuxi smiled and said, "I haven't seen such a good house when I grew up. There are many rooms, and the furniture in it looks very expensive."
Tao Wangcai nodded and said, "I just lay in the room for a while. The bed is comfortable, with a little fragrance, which smells strange."
Qing Song smiled next to him: "Grandma, that is the incense my mother gave to me. It is soothing and good for rest."
Tao Wangcai coughed twice and said, "Well, don't call me old man, we are mud legs in the country, what old man."
Tao Rui laughed: "Grandpa, you are also used to it. In the future, I will be the young master and the father will be the old man. Aren't you the old man? Otherwise, Qingsong and the others can't call. There is not much to do in our family now, so we don't need too many people to help. The Qingsong family does things at home and will consider hiring others in the future."
"That's enough, it's enough, we don't need to hire people, your parents can do it, and the body is good, so can I, and I will be able to raise it for a few days..."
Qing Song's father said hurriedly: "Old lady, our family has been following the young master for a long time, and they are all pointing to the young master to live, you can't drive us away."
When Tao Wangcai heard this, it was all referring to his grandson to live a life. He really couldn't be driven away. He waved his hand and said not to hurry. When the Qingsong family laughed, they realized that they were joking, but they were sincerely willing to stay. He thought that Tao Rui would not be the princely son anymore. They were still willing to stay. If they were really affectionate and righteous, then naturally they wanted to stay.
Everyone laughed like that, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
The new house rents a courtyard from Sanjin, not far from Qi's house, and is in a very good location. The landlord is a wealthy businessman. Recently, it needs some cash flow to rent and sell several houses. The price is not cheap. I didn't find a buyer for a while. It happened that Tao Rui wanted to rent, so he took the advantage. He took all the prize money he had won to pay the rent.
But the high price has the advantage of high price. The house is obviously taken care of regularly, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard are scattered, which is very comfortable to look at. All kinds of furniture in the house are also made of good materials, comfortable to use, and beautiful in style.
Qing Songniang bought mattresses and some clothes for each house, and the Tao family could move in without having to take anything. The rows of large and spacious houses opened up the Tao family's vision. Tao Rui won one hundred thousand taels of silver, and their worries about the future disappeared. One after another good news smashed them to their senses, and they even felt celebrating dinner. Like a dream, they went back to their rooms to rest soon after the meal.
The emotional ups and downs in these two days were also great. They thought that when they arrived at their new home, they would be restlessly unable to sleep in such a good home, but in fact, each of them quickly fell asleep and had beautiful dreams.
Tao Li couldn't sleep anymore. When she fainted and woke up, she immediately summoned the manager of the gambling shop and asked the manager in detail. She told the manager to get out on the spot, and she hated to throw a whole set of tea sets.
One hundred thousand taels, this is not even counted as those gamblers who followed Tao Rui won. She has a lot of private houses, but more than one hundred thousand taels is enough to make her feel hurt! Earlier, the emperor copied a third-ranking member's family and only copied 200,000 taels of silver, and now Tao Rui emptied her 110,000!
Her antique jewellery and farm shops can't be sold casually. They will be laughed at. Tao Rui is equivalent to hollowing out all her active silver.
But Tao Qian deliberately asked the housekeeper to warn her that she shouldn't do any extra actions. She wanted to say that Tao Qian didn't feel pain when she stood and talked, and she didn't even know it hurts without the needle. But Tao Qianqing has always hated gambling shops. She didn't dare to say that the gambling shops belonged to her. She could only endure this boring loss. Otherwise, other ladies will know that she runs a gambling shop, and they will be laughed at.
It is hateful that the ten thousand taels that came back still have to enter the government's account, which does not belong to her at all. She has to take out the 110,000 taels, and her heart is dripping blood, and she can't wait to eat Tao Rui's meat!
However, even if the two of them succumbed to this situation, it is still not finished.
After celebrating the housewarming with the Tao family, Qi Lang filed a lawsuit with his father when he returned home, detailing how bad the Xuan Guo Gong Mansion had been to Tao Rui for so many years, emphasizing that he heard that Xuan Guo Gong scold Tao Rui in the inn. He also asked Tao Rui to return to the mansion to save the face of the Guogong Mansion and help the wronged parents. As a result, Xuan Guogong turned his head and pretended to be sad in front of outsiders, which made the eyes of those outsiders look at Tao Rui not right.
Other Qi Yushi might not believe it, just as Tao Rui complained to Qi Lang. But Qi Lang heard and saw it with his own eyes in the inn, and this Qi Lang would certainly not lie.
On the second day when he was in court, someone suggested that Tao Rui had made a lot of money and criticized his behavior as filial piety. He did not show face to his adoptive parents and wanted to sever relations with his adoptive parents in public.
This man is an old-fashioned Wei Yushi, who believes that children and grandchildren must be filial to their parents, whether they are right or not, they must obey the kind. He couldn't get used to Tao Rui's approach. If young people were like Tao Rui and fell out if they didn't agree with each other, then the life would not pass? Where is the majesty of the elders?
Besides, he thinks what the butler said is quite reasonable. If Xuan Guogong knew about it, how could Tao Rui be the son of the prince? How could Tao Li's son be replaced by someone else's son? It wasn't that she would divorce her without giving birth for a year or two. She didn't need to do that. There must be a misunderstanding.
The emperor groaned and said nothing. As soon as Wei Yushi spoke, he knew that the other party didn't understand the situation and didn't care about the truth. He just wanted to spray those unruly and dogmatic behaviors.
Does Tao Rui know better than him why he did this? If Duke Xuan Guo was too greedy and wanted to protect his reputation, Tao Rui Bacheng would not pay attention to them.
But he couldn't say this. He couldn't say that he had followed this matter secretly and personally refuted Wei Yushi, right?
At this time, Qi Yushi stood up. He has always been upright. He doesn't like his son having fun with Tao Rui. He doesn't want his son to play with things and lose his ambition. But he didn't really stop his son from meeting Tao Rui, because Tao Rui has no major problems except for playing. Now that he learned the truth from his son, he naturally wanted to stand up and help Tao Rui speak.
"The emperor, what Wei Yushi said is not correct. Xuan Guogong and his wife are the adoptive parents of the son, but the Taos are his biological parents. You should be filial, but you can't wrong your biological parents for the sake of your adoptive parents.
When Xuan Guogong approached Tao Rui yesterday, it happened that the son of the minister was next door, and he heard clearly how Xuan Guogong scolded Tao Rui, and even more unexpectedly learned that Xuan Guogong had coerced Tao Rui and Na for the reputation of the government. When the girl returned to the house, the matter of secretly changing the son fell on the Dows and his wife. "
Qi Yushi looked at Wei Yushi and said, "Wei Yushi, dare to ask someone who humiliates their parents, how should they be treated? Tao Rui has never spoken harshly to Xuanguo Gongfu since knowing the truth. Jie. Now he has paid off more than ten years of spending, showing his position to protect his biological parents. Why is he wrong? It's that Xuan Guogong, I don't know what to say!"
Qi Yushi was speechless and Wei Yushi was speechless, then he took out the memorial without hesitation, and bowed and said: "The emperor, the minister wants to participate in Xuanguo Gong Tao Qian's improper governance of the family, causing the blood of the Xuanguo government to be confused. , Confuses the emperor to establish a son, almost making the title aside. Afterwards, he did not think about his own mistakes, but threatened to persecute his adopted son, and acted in an external manner, which really humiliated the image of the country.
