Taoyao Order

After leaving the Chu family, Tao Yao still felt dazed while sitting in the carriage. Today, she originally just wanted to hear what the Chu family had to say, or in other words, she wanted to say goodbye to Chu Ping.

But who would have thought that he would actually go and arrange a marriage for himself and come back.

Taoyao's hands couldn't help but fiddle with the veil, and she was secretly in a trance while sitting in the carriage.

However, she never asked Chu Ping what he meant. Would he be willing to go to the capital with her?
Taoyao never thought about going to the capital. She only thought that she would marry in Hangzhou.But the fate of life is such a twist of fate, no one knows where his next step will be.

The carriage stopped at Zi Ling Pavilion, and Taoyao thought to herself whether she should go back with Shao when she came to talk to her about returning to Taoyuan to propose marriage.And when you go back, do you really not mention the Chu family's affairs to your family?

Taoyao got off the carriage and walked back to her residence. She planned to change clothes first and then talk to Master Liu.

When he opened the door, the room was quiet, and Zheng Qiaoyan did not come over.

Tao Yao changed her clothes and caught up with her son's sewing for a while, but she was upset and couldn't calm down.After finally looking at the moment in front of her, Master Liu should have returned to the Xiangxiang Pavilion. Tao Yao put down her sewing skills and went to the fourth entrance of Zi Ling Pavilion.

Master Liu had just entered the house when he heard the maid outside saying that Tao Yao was coming to look for her, so he just responded and let her in.

The maid led Taoyao into Liu Yunjin's study. Liu Yunjin had already sat on the soft couch beside him and was drinking tea. He asked Taoyao not to be polite, but just come and sit.

Before Taoyao could speak, Liu Yunjin, who had taken a sip of tea, spoke first: "Are you here about Qiaoyan?"

Tao Yao was startled by these words: "What's wrong with Qiao Yan?"

Liu Yunjin slowly put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Taoyao in surprise: "You don't know yet? Then why did you come to me?"

Taoyao said: "I came to see Master for other reasons, but what happened to Qiaoyan?"

Liu Yunjin said: "Qiaoyan is missing."

"Missing? What do you mean missing? Why did you disappear? When did it happen?" Tao Yao was shocked.

Liu Yunjin looked at Taoyao suspiciously: "I thought you would know better than me why she disappeared. Didn't she live in your house these days? Now she disappeared suddenly. I thought you went out at noon today. It's the prefect's Yamen that's causing trouble for you."

Hearing this, Taoyao became even more shocked and confused: "Why is the prefect's Yamen looking for trouble with me? I don't know anything? What is going on?"

When Liu Yunjin looked at Taoyao, it didn't look like he was pretending. Instead, he frowned and sighed: "I originally planned to advise you not to provoke people from the government office and hand them over early, but now if you take it seriously If you don’t know anything, it’s really difficult to deal with it.”

Taoyao quickly bowed to Liu Yunjin: "Master, I really don't know anything. Please tell me clearly what is going on? I only know that Qiaoyan came back from me early yesterday morning. Fu Yamen, I just thought she had gone home, how could she be missing?"

Liu Yunjin pondered for a moment and then said: "Qiaoyan did go back home yesterday, but she had a big fight with her father. Later, she ran out of the house and said she went back to Zi Ling Pavilion, but Zi Ling Pavilion's The boy has not seen her come back since she left early yesterday morning."

On ordinary days, Hong Rao was always there to take care of her. Even when she returned to Zi Ling Pavilion, Hong Rao would always follow her, and everyone in the house felt at ease.

But it was not until noon today that the master in the government office suddenly discovered that Hong Rao was locked up in the woodshed by the boy at home.The boy replied that it was Qiaoyan who ordered him. Hong Wao did not do well and made her angry, so he asked the boy to take her into the woodshed and lock her up for a few days to teach her a lesson.The boy didn't know anything, he just followed the instructions. When he saw Hongrao leaving the house, he covered her mouth and caught her.

Hong Rao didn't know where Qiaoyan had gone. The master of the government office came to Ziling Pavilion today to ask. Qiaoyan never came back, so she had not been seen for two days.

Liu Yunjin explained all this to Taoyao, and then looked at Taoyao carefully again: "Do you know where she went?"

Tao Yao hesitated for a moment, but felt a little anxious: "She said two days ago that she wanted to elope with someone. I just thought she was joking with me. I also kindly tried to persuade her for a few days, but I just thought she was listening to the advice and already wanted to. opened.

She went back suddenly early that morning without even informing me, and she didn’t know why or how she could make things happen like this. "

Liu Yunjin frowned and said, "Elope? With whom?"

Tao Yao hesitated again and again before saying: "Master, please send someone to check her secretly first. Don't make a big fuss that disturbs others. I can also help persuade her. Maybe I can persuade her to come back."

When Liu Yunjin heard what Taoyao said, he naturally knew that she had good intentions and didn't want to make this matter a big deal, so he said: "This is natural, I will have people investigate in secret and will not make it public easily.

Where did she go? "

Tao Yao then said: "She told me herself that she is Mr. Wei from Qin'er Hutong Bao Teahouse."

Liu Yunjin had never heard of such a hidden name, but he only responded and ordered Qiu Baoxing to be called.

Liu Yunjin explained the matter in a few words and asked Qiu Baoxing to go and have a look in person. After all, she was the daughter of the prefect of Hangzhou. Liu Yunjin was a smart person, so naturally he would not make her matter known to everyone, otherwise it would embarrass the prefect Zheng. .

Qiu Baoxing bowed and went, while Taoyao followed Liu Yunjin and waited in fear for a reply. As the day and night passed, Qiaoyan, a young daughter, spent the night outside with a grown man. Forget it, once the slightest bit of news gets out, Qiaoyan's marriage will really be over in her life.

But Liu Yunjin just drank tea calmly, and suddenly asked Taoyao: "Why did you come to me in the first place?"

Only then did Tao Yao come back to her senses. After a slight hesitation, she reported the Chu family's affairs to Liu Yunjin: "I heard the old lady say that. I guess the Chu family and Panyu are not directly related. If it is just business dealings, If we leave Hangzhou again, it won’t involve us and my mother’s family, right?”

After hearing Taoyao's story, Liu Yunjin smiled and said: "You kid, let's say you are timid. You dare to provoke people who do such things. Tell me that you are courageous. Take good care of this big piece of Chu family." Meat, but you are only willing to hide in the capital to drink soup.

You have to know that the capital is a big dyeing vat. Once he enters the official career, he may encounter greater hardships and dangers than those in the Chu family in Hangzhou. You don't have to be afraid of wolves before and tigers after. "

Hearing this, Tao Yao said, "I don't expect him to be a high official. Just like my brother, a clerk in the Ministry of Rites, who just earns a small salary and lives a stable life. It's the same everywhere.

Now, if I provoke those people, if I can't avoid this marriage, I just want to be as safe as possible. Now this is the safest way I can think of.

But the old lady didn’t let me talk to my parents, and I didn’t have anyone with whom I could discuss it. Only my master was well-informed. Once I was a teacher, I was always a father. I only regarded my master as my mother, so I I want to ask Master and discuss it with you. "
