Taoyao Order

Chapter 106 Conspiracy

Tao Yao thought in her mind that Chu Ping was now obsessed with taking the imperial examination. If he were to pass the imperial examination, he would definitely focus on his official career. If he owned a few shops, it would be a small success, but he would no longer be able to take care of the Chu family alone. Such a huge family fortune.

Thinking of this, Taoyao spoke up and said: "When I came back last time, I heard the old lady mentioning the Hongwen Library in Kyoto. I thought that if the uncle of the Chu family paid attention to the imperial examination, the Hongwen Library in Kyoto would be better than the Luyue Library. .”

How could the old lady not understand what Tao Yao meant? After she got married, she and Chu Ping would leave the troubled place of the Chu family in Hangzhou and go to the capital to make a new living.

Even if something happens to the Chu family in the future, it is not Chu Ping's business, so he is not the main culprit.

They don't have much connections, and they don't expect Chu Ping to be crowned king or prime minister. If he is like Taoyao's brother, he finds a casual position in the Ministry of Rites or becomes a minor official, which will not attract anyone's attention. God knows, if something like this happens at home, the most it will do is cause Chu Ping to be dismissed from his official position. If they can start over in the capital, the worst they can do is stop being an official and reopen a shop for business.

Taoyao has the true heritage of Zi Ling Pavilion. The two of them can run a business in the capital very well, but if it doesn't work out, it's not difficult for them to start from scratch as long as they have savings.

Furthermore, Taoyao's brother is still in the capital. Although he is not a high official, he still has relatives around, so he is not helpless.

The old lady of the Chu family sighed. When Chu Ping originally wanted to pursue an official career, they had also made plans. If he really succeeded, the family business shop would be handed over to Chu Kuo.So Chu Ping has been allowed to study all these years. Whenever Chu Ping's parents went to inspect the shop, they would lead Chu Kuo and let him learn the business of the family shop.

However, Chu Kuo is an extremely smart child like his elder brother. He has a more happy-go-lucky temperament and has never had anything "must" or "certain". Unlike Chu Ping, he is very energetic and single-minded about gaining fame.

Chu Kuo was also very good at reading. The gentleman at the library even said that he was talented and intelligent and had better understanding than Chu Ping. However, Chu Kuo knew that his brother wanted to study for fame, so he never got involved in the imperial examination.

He always knew everything about business and learned very quickly, but he never showed any ambition to take charge of the Chu family's business, nor did he want to snatch the eldest son of Chu Ping's eldest son. He seemed to be just having fun, playing and watching casually without paying much attention to it. But once he was asked to do something, he could do it surprisingly well every time.

If Chu Ping really went to the capital and left Chu Kuo to take care of the family affairs, the Chu family would not have any successors.

However, where to go is ultimately the choice of these children. There are countless possibilities in this life, and it is through these choices again and again that the way out and direction are determined.

The Chu family is both a risk and an opportunity. No one knows what the future will be like, whether it is better to pursue an official career in the capital or stay in Hangzhou and do business.

In the end, no one knows whether Hangzhou will become a drag on Chu Ping and bring him along with him in the future, or whether Chu Ping will become the support of the Chu family and lead the Chu family to prosperity in the future.

Old Mrs. Chu just nodded to Taoyao and said, "Okay, if you and Brother Ping both like the capital, then grandma will buy you a house in the capital."

Taoyao never thought that things would go so smoothly. She thought that the old lady would disagree with Chu Ping's trip, would be reluctant to leave him, the eldest son, and would insist on keeping him in charge of the family business in Hangzhou.

She was even a little confused, wondering if the old lady had deliberately agreed to her marriage just to deceive her into marrying Chu Ping.

Tao Yao hesitated and said, "I always have to explain the reasons for the matter to my parents. The affairs of the Hongwen Library in Beijing have been settled before we can discuss the wedding date." When the old lady heard this, she naturally heard Tao Yao's suspicion, and He comforted him with a smile: "It's okay to get married after settling the affairs of the Hongwen Library. It's just a side matter. There's no need to let your family know about it, so as not to worry them. After all, the mountains are high and the roads are far, and you may not be able to explain many things clearly. , it will only cause them to misunderstand in vain."

After Tao Yao heard this, although it was reasonable, she was still a little afraid: "If I marry into the Chu family, I will put the family at risk. It would be better for them to know that they have something in mind, otherwise if something happens in the future, Something might happen that would catch them off guard."

But the old lady said: "If something happens in the future, is there anyone in your family who can help?"

These words stopped Tao Yao.

The old lady then continued: "If you can't help, then you can only worry. Why bother? If one more person knows about this matter, there will be more risks. If you believe grandma, grandma will not lie to you.

If you are worried about the library, I can ask Mrs. Shao to tell your family that this is our Chu family’s plan. In fact, Brother Ping originally loved reading, so I also had the idea of ​​sending him to Hongwen Library. Yes, it's just that his mother couldn't let him go, so she never made the trip after so many years.

Now, after so many years in Luyue Library, he has not made much progress in knowledge. He has failed the imperial examination twice, and he is also depressed.Maybe if you go to the capital and get guidance from a famous teacher, you may be able to achieve a breakthrough. Besides, if your brother is still in the capital, you can give him some guidance. I think this is a good thing and does not embarrass me.As for his mother, it is not difficult for me to make the decision.

You can be assured. "

When the old lady said this, her face was full of love and her tone was sincere. Tao Yao believed that she was not deceiving her. On the other hand, the old lady's words really suited her. She had always watched Zhao Wanrong and Zhao Wanrong interact with each other. It was so painful and difficult to get along with my mother-in-law. If I and Chu Ping left Hangzhou, all the troubles of meeting her mother-in-law would be solved. I would be able to live freely outside with Chu Ping, how carefree it would be.

Tao Yao thought to herself, but Liao was like this, and Chu Ping couldn't leave the house. Didn't the Chu family have a shop in Beijing? They should all belong to herself and Chu Ping, as well as the Chu family's Wan Guan family. Privately, although it is not a separation of families, the bulk of it will be given to Chu Kuo in the future. Although I and Chu Ping are far away from the capital, but the family is poor and rich, there is not much to give to myself and Chu Ping. It must be enough for myself. In the future, even if you have to start over from scratch, it will cost you to buy a new mansion and open a shop.

Thirdly, the old lady of the Chu family said that when buying a house in the capital, there is a need to pay attention to the location and the size of the house.

Taoyao secretly thought about it, but she couldn't tell the old lady in person, so she could only go back and explain it clearly to Shao and Taoyu, so that they could discuss it clearly with the Chu family when discussing the dowry and betrothal gift.

Tao Yao smiled and nodded in response: "What the old lady said, of course I have nothing to worry about. I don't have the right to speak about such matters. My parents and the old lady have to make the decision."

After hearing Taoyao's words, the old lady knew that Taoyao had already made a promise.

Then he just smiled and said: "Look, our plans coincide with each other, and everything is just right. This is fate."

Tao Yao didn't know how to answer these words. It would be too hypocritical to pretend to be ignorant and shy at this time. She never thought about these gold and silver money. However, if she agreed, it would be as if she was deliberately plotting something against them. Yes, Taoyao just smiled lightly and didn't say anything.
