The second prince had chosen the wrong one. He chose to work with the Xiao family to cover up many things, leaving the uncle and the prefect to take the blame and not condemn him to death. He even wanted to let his other hands be Jiangnan Prefecture and continue to do what he had done before.
So going around is the same as before, changing the soup without changing the medicine.
Qi Lang also came to Tao Rui worriedly, and advised him not to be so sharp, too easy to attract hatred, and worried that the second prince and the Xiao family would retaliate against him.
Tao Rui didn't worry at all, and asked him to have tea in the garden, "This is the emperor's reward, taste it."
Qi Lang anxiously said, "Eh, why are you heartless?"
Tao Rui laughed out, "Who is the heartless one of us? Don't worry, I am sure of doing things."
There was no one next to him, so he whispered again, "They are all going to suffer, they can't take care of me."
Qi Lang was startled, and hurriedly looked at Tao Rui's expression, pondering these words carefully, and tasting something profound. But he didn't like to use his brain, and it had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to know that Tao Rui was okay. He smiled again, and his eyes were not consciously looking around while drinking tea.
Tao Rui glanced at him and said coolly, "What are you looking at? My home is better than yours?"
Qi Lang laughed awkwardly, putting down the tea cup and looking a little uncomfortable, "No, I just watch... why is this nobody? It's quiet."
"Who do you want to see? Today, I am off. My parents and grandfather have gone to the store. Except me in the house is my sister, Mingxian." Tao Rui looked at him and looked at him when he finally said his name. Pierced him like a knife.
Qi Lang immediately sat down, then wiped his face, facing him like a broken jar, "Yes, I just wanted to see Fuxi! I came here and ate at the same table with Fuxi, why are you hiding her now? Up?"
"That said, your sister will let the outsider see you? In the past, there were no conditions. Now, I am a third-rank official. This mansion is bestowed by the emperor. My sister is what you want to see?"
Qi Lang didn't notice the dangerous look in Tao Big Bad Wolf's eyes, and he was still arguing, "Fuxi doesn't like to be stuffy in the house at all. She, tell me how boring she is in the yard? Fuxi and I have known each other for so long, and you are afraid that I will offend her? I have been here ten times and eight times, but I can't touch her once. Obviously you hid it deliberately! "
"Yeah." Tao Rui responded simply.
Qi Lang was taken aback, "What do you mean? You admit it? Tao Jinzhi! I take you as a brother, and didn't abandon you when you were at your lowest point. Do you consider me as a disciple in your heart?"
Tao Rui squinted, "Dare you say you don't have any ideas?"
"I..." Qi Lang was speechless, he had an idea, why would he always want to see his sister?
He coughed quickly, thinking that he understood Tao Rui's thoughts, and said with a serious face: "Are you afraid that I am not good to Fuxi? I swear to you that I will be good to her in the future and will never let her be wronged. Can't you believe me?"
"This kind of thing has nothing to do with character, you can't guarantee that she won't be wronged." Tao Rui put the tea cup on the table, "When you play chess to admire the moon and chant the right poems, she doesn't understand. You Say that she is not wronged? At various banquets, if the female family beside her insinuates her a few words, how can you protect her when you are not in front of her? She is not wronged?
In case you have a red-sleeved sweetheart in the future, she won't be wronged? Although she used to be a peasant girl, but the peasant family is not willing to accept the concubine transfer room. If your parents give you a transfer room, will you accept it? Is she wronged?
If you haven't thought about these for her, it's because you didn't think well, and when your head was hot, you wanted to propose marriage. You said she was not wronged? She was not wronged, I was wronged for her. "
Qi Lang was speechless. He really hadn't thought about it. He didn't think it would be possible for someone to change it. Who would think about it every day like Tao Rui?
But he did admit that these were problems, and immediately frowned, thinking about it.
Tao Rui also understood his temperament, and after he thought about it for a while, he said, "It's not impossible for you to ask for marriage, but you must let Fuxi see your sincerity. Like to learn, help her gain a foothold among the female relatives; third, be mature and let my family see that you are the one who can protect your wife."
In the end, Qi Lang almost made Qi Lang vomit blood. How could he not protect his wife? Isn't he just... not motivated? But when I think about getting into trouble and being beaten by my father, it seems that he can't even protect himself.
Qi Lang patted the table, "Okay! I'll let you see, I'm not a waste!"
He got up and walked out. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Fuxi is nineteen. Would you like to show her someone else?"
Tao Rui said solemnly: "Haven't you heard that it's easy for a girl to be a woman too early to be short-lived? How about nineteen? It's not too late to remarry on twenty-two."
"Ah? Really? Why haven't I heard of it? Then, aren't you afraid of outsiders talking about her?"
"Have you ever heard someone arrange a girl in the prime minister's house? The girl from the prime minister's family had a bad life and married a good family after she left. Why do you think it is?"
Qi Lang rolled his eyes, "Don't you just want to say you want to be a high official?"
Qi Lang was relieved, mumbled and walked out. Although he was still idle, his pace was much faster, showing a bit anxious.
Tao Rui cursed "animals" in his heart, and Fuxi was only nineteen, so he was so anxious to marry back. Of course, since this was ancient times, Sixteen could marry, so he would curse casually in his heart, and insisted on his own opinions, and would not let his sister marry early.
Three-legged stuff is hard to find. Are two-legged men everywhere? He still didn't believe that he couldn't find a good brother-in-law.
He poured another cup of tea. Hearing that Qi Lang was out of the house, he said: "Come out, look at him like this, can you rest assured?"
Fuxi blushed and came out from behind the rockery and sat in front of Tao Rui, "Brother, is that...is it true?"
"Of course it's true. Don't be afraid. I'll tell my parents over there. If you marry two years later, you can marry a good family. If you don't, you can hire a son-in-law."
After two years of being together, Fuxi also learned Tao Rui's calmness. He nodded without worrying at all. Instead, he said, "The female teacher my brother invited me is very good. I will study hard."
"Well, don't relax in martial arts, learn your skills, and whoever bullies you will hit him."
Fuxi chuckled, "Brother, if I'm a kid, I'm afraid I will be badly taught by you. Don't worry, bro, I won't be ashamed of you, I'll go to practice martial arts."
Tao Rui waved her hand to let her go, and did not forget to say, "Don't be afraid of being embarrassed or not, as long as you are happy."
Fuxi smiled sweetly, bowed to his brother with the newly learned etiquette, and walked away happily.
Tao Rui smiled and shook his head, feeling a stomach of dog food inexplicably.
These two people are very close to him. He has long seen that they are affectionate to each other. However, they are not talking about these four words amusingly. The identity, knowledge, speech, etc. of the two must be consistent in order to live for a long time. Go down.
Even if he used to do the task with the task object, he is helping the other side to grow and achieve his own life. Otherwise, only relying on him to treat others well, no matter how good he is, it will make the other party feel wronged and feel wronged by inferiority.
Now, while there is still time, let the two of them work on their own efforts. This is also a hard-won relationship, which will be more cherished, more matched, and happier.
Within a few days, Qi Lang's efforts were effective, and he confessed that his sister and sister were looking for Fuxi to play.
Sister Qi is married. Sister Qi is two years younger than Fuxi. They are both very good people with a good character. They have been entrusted by Qi Lang. They are very kind to Fuxi, and both sincerely make friends with Fuxi. , Introduced her to all kinds of people and things in the circle, and unknowingly taught Fuxi many things.
This is very useful. Just like Tao Rui often invited Qi Lang and Fu Yun to be guests at home at the beginning, these two are the sons of high-ranking officials. The Tao family got along with them. Without the initial awe and timidity.
After the Huanxi Tower was opened, the Tao family relied on the Huanxi Tower to make money, and the business was booming. The Tao family was able to contact people from all walks of life in the capital. After Tao Rui became an official, others saw that they were very polite, which allowed them to naturally build self-confidence and successfully completed the transition from a farmer to an official's family.
As Tao Rui's mother, Xiuniang learns etiquette. It doesn't matter if she is not good at other things, but Fuxi, as Tao Rui's younger sister, must learn a lot, otherwise she will be with those young ladies in the circle, or marrying someone needs a master and Mother-in-laws get along with each other, and they will find it difficult to move an inch.
Now it's alright. Fuxi learns piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, female celebrity, and master at home, and has become a handkerchief with the Qi sisters outside, and his self-confidence is also building up a little bit.
Soon after, Fuxi said that she would go to a flower-watching banquet. Sister Qi's sister went with her. Tao Rui was unavoidably worried. He asked Qi Lang to tell Sister Qi that if anyone was embarrassed at the banquet, let him write it down.
Qi Lang agreed very much, yes, all of them were written down for him, when they Qi Yushi was eating dry food?
Sister Qi felt that they were unreasonably worried, but she didn't expect Fuxi to participate in this kind of private flower viewing banquet for the first time. There were people who came to find faults, or they knew that Fuxi participated and deliberately targeted Fuxi. This person is Xiao Guifei's maiden niece, Xiao Shuyun.
Don't look at her name to be gentle and tender, she has a vigorous temperament. Her aunt is a noble concubine, her cousin is a princess, and her cousin is the prince who is most likely to succeed to the throne. She is also the youngest daughter of the Xiao family, and no one dared to mess with her since she was a child.
Now Tao Rui dares to join their Xiao family, how can the Xiao family swallow this breath? Xiao Shuyun came to slap her in the face when she heard that Fuxi was attending the flower viewing banquet.
As soon as everyone was there and talked for a while, Xiao Shuyun pointedly said, "What's the point of just looking at flowers? You should have some fun, and let the jugglers come out and juggle. Are you right, Miss Tao? ?"
Sister Qi frowned, and said first: "If Miss Xiao finds it boring, how can she come to the flower viewing banquet? Today, all the ladies here are all identifiable people, but no one invites juggling. "
She had already reminded the other party, Xiao Shuyun still stared at Fuxi and said, "Isn't Huanxi Tower built by Tao? It's a lot more fun inside. I believe Miss Tao doesn't mind making everyone happy, isn't Huanxi Tower just to make everyone happy? ?"
She suddenly thought of something, and suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, you have to pay for the Huanxi Tower. Then we will pay for it today. Ms. Tao will treat it as an extra money for the Huanxi Tower, how about it?"
Xiao Shuyun laughed lightly, humiliating Fuxi was just a warning to Tao Rui, and the real revenge was yet to come.
