Taoyao Order

Taoyao heard Zheng Qiaoyan's story from Liu Yunjin and felt very sorry for the girl: "Master, the more I know about this, the more I feel that what Qiaoyan told me at that time may not be all false, even if It's not Mr. Wei, it might be Mr. Zhao or Mr. Li. Even if it's not that teahouse, it might be the teahouse next to it. She is a girl, so young. Even though she has experienced many changes since childhood, she still grew up in a deep house. Yes, now that I have left home suddenly, I am afraid it will be very dangerous. If it is convenient for me, Master, I might help to find him."

Liu Yunjin naturally agreed, not because of Taoyao, but after all, he said he was going to Zi Ling Pavilion, and Magistrate Zheng had already sent someone to Zi Ling Pavilion to inquire. Although Liu Yunjin's identity was there, Magistrate Zheng He didn't say anything, but after all, it was not a trivial matter that the young lady from the magistrate's family was lost. Magistrate Zheng would still send people to keep an eye on Zi Ling Pavilion. Liu Yunjin was also helping himself by helping to find Zheng Qiaoyan.

After Taoyao had finished her dinner, she didn't want to disturb Liu Yunjin anymore, so she stood up and left.

But it happened that several days passed, and Taoyao never heard any news about Zheng Qiaoyan from the outside. She only heard that she was proposing marriage to Zheng Qiaoyan, so she came to Ziling Pavilion to take leave. From now on, maybe I will never come to Zi Ling Pavilion again.

But the girls in Ziling Pavilion don't know the details. Even the girls who play well with Zheng Qiaoyan on weekdays don't know the news about Zheng Qiaoyan. They only think that she is already married at home, so it's not good. It’s no longer easy to go out.

Regarding Zheng Qiaoyan's disappearance, Magistrate Zheng kept it well hidden.

However, after so many days, Zheng Yun never asked Taocun to go to the prefect's Yamen for questioning. Taoyao didn't know if this meant that they had found Zheng Qiaoyan.

Tao Yao couldn't help but wanted to go to Xiangxiang Pavilion to inquire about the news, but she finally felt that something was wrong, so she went to find Qiu Baoxing in private. On the one hand, she wanted to apologize to Qiu Baoxing for her abrupt words at Liu Yunjin's place that day, and on the other hand, she also wanted to inquire. The whereabouts of Zheng Qiaoyan.

Qiu Baoxing also dismissed his people and went back to Taoyao in private. He has not yet found Zheng Qiaoyan's whereabouts. It was just because of Zheng Qiaoyan's reputation. Therefore, Zheng Yun did not dare to search extensively in Hangzhou and could only make secret visits. Even if it was a secret visit, it would not be possible. I didn't dare to disturb people too much, for fear that everyone would know if I made a fuss.

Taoyao asked Qiu Baoxing if he would send anyone to look for him again. Qiu Baoxing only said: "Girl, this matter is very sensitive, especially for you. It's best not to get involved in it anymore. The Hangzhou prefecture's Yamen originally sent someone to ask you to go over and ask questions." It's just that our master stopped you, saying that he had already asked you and you didn't know anything, so he covered it up for you. Once the master came forward, they couldn't bother anymore, so they just let it go.

Nowadays, the magistrate's office is also very worried. On the one hand, it wants to find someone, but on the other hand, it is afraid of making public. It is better for you to pretend not to know anything and ask less. "

After hearing this, Tao Yao naturally knew that Qiu Baoxing was doing it for her own good, but she still felt uneasy. The longer days passed, the more dangerous Qiao Yan became.

And Zi Ling Pavilion must be less afraid to help find the person. After all, if the person is found by Zi Ling Pavilion after so long, then Zheng Yun will inevitably suspect that Zi Ling Pavilion has hidden the person. Since Liu Yunjin said from the beginning I don't know anything about Zi Ling Pavilion. It would be okay if I found it a few days ago. The longer the day goes by, the harder it will be to explain it after I find it.

Tao Yao looked at Qiu Baoxing who also had the same intention of protecting himself wisely.

She had some guesses, but she could only remind her: "In the past, Qiaoyan was in my house, and she suddenly left after seeing the clothes I made for Concubine Meng. I'm just afraid that no matter who she wants to elope with, , maybe going to the capital, maybe looking for her mother, or going to her grandfather's house. I wonder if Manager Qiu can use this clue to help investigate and see if there is anyone who has gone to the capital recently. .”

Taoyao also knew that Hangzhou was such a big city with so many people, so it was not easy to find out who had gone to the capital. But since Taoyao asked, Qiu Baoxing still agreed.

Tao Yao looked at Qiu Baoxing's reluctant expression. Even if he agreed, she didn't know if he would help with the inquiry, so she could only say thank you, and then left worriedly.

Taoyao also wanted to be like them and ignore the matter, but her heart didn't allow it. So, on the tenth day, Taoyao took Wu Yan to the nursing home again, where Chu Ping was there.

Chu Ping didn't expect Taoyao to come over. The two of them looked at each other from a distance at the entrance of the nursing home. They were both stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After Taoyao went to the Chu family, the old lady of the Chu family also called Chu Ping over to talk. She said that the condition for Taoyao to marry into the Chu family was that Chu Ping go to the Hongwen Library in Beijing to study with her.

If it were in the past, Chu Ping would definitely be willing to do so. Who among the students in the world would not want to go to Hongwen Library to study? There are the best teachers there who can teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and the best masters can teach eight-legged grammar.

But now, knowing the heavy management of the family, Chu Ping only felt that it was difficult for him to let go.

As the eldest son of the Chu family, could he really run away and pursue his own career regardless of the fate of his family?

Seeing Chu Ping's hesitation, the old lady persuaded him nicely, saying that the official career he was taking might be able to help the Chu family get out of trouble in the future.

But after experiencing so much, Chu Ping's confidence was not enough. He was a little confused and confused. He felt that his qualifications were mediocre. Maybe no matter how hard he worked, he would not be able to achieve the glory of his great-grandfather. He might never be able to pass the imperial examination or enter the imperial court. As an official, you cannot rely on your official career to honor your ancestors.

If he stayed at home, he could still take care of his parents and family, but if he left his hometown, he didn't know what would happen to him in the future.

Seeing Chu Ping who had lost his ambition, the old lady said nothing more and just said to him: "It's up to you, as long as you think about it clearly and don't regret it in the future."

Chu Ping only felt very confused in his heart. He was different from Taoyao. Taoyao always wanted to go out and leave, but Chu Ping had too much reluctance to leave his family, whether it was his parents, grandparents or younger brother. He couldn't bear to leave his sister.

If you choose Taoyao, you have to leave home. Is it really worth it?
  But if she doesn't choose Taoyao, then she happens to be involved in the Liumen Village incident. How can she escape from it unscathed?

Why can't he marry Tao Yao, and both of them can stay in Hangzhou?
  Chu Ping wanted to talk to Taoyao, but he didn't think about how to talk to Taoyao and how to convince Taoyao to stay in Hangzhou with him.

While hesitating, he never thought that Taoyao would come to the almshouse as promised last time.
