Taoyao Order

Chapter 79 Silent
Pushing the door, the extremely elegant fragrance of magnolia hits the face. Zheng Qiaoyan's house is lit with various incense all year round. The cigarettes curl up from the incense burner. It is very quiet and elegant. Although Zheng Qiaoyan does not spend the night in Ziling Pavilion, her room The furnishings inside are not ordinary at all, with all the tables, chairs and bedding available, and the room has been neatly tidied up with red ribbons.

Taoyao and Zheng Qiaoyan sat down at the eight-treasure round table in the middle of the room. Hongrao served tea, opened the food boxes provided in the small kitchen for Zheng Qiaoyan, and arranged the dishes.

Zheng Qiaoyan didn't care at all, she just sat at the table and asked Taoyao, "Why did you think of coming to have lunch with me?"

Tao Yao said with a smile: "You have helped me so much, why don't you want me to come and thank you?"

While they were talking, Wu Yan also came over, first took out the box of beautifully wrapped tea leaves, and gave Tao Yao to Zheng Qiaoyan.Then she opened Tao Yao's food box and started to arrange the dishes and food with Hong Wao.

Zheng Qiaoyan just glanced at the tea leaves briefly and didn't say anything, just letting Hong Wan withdraw.

Tao Yao made the decision without authorization, saying that there was no need for Hong Lao to serve here, and asked her and Wu Yan to go out.Hong Rao glanced at Zheng Qiaoyan, and Zheng Qiaoyan nodded. Only then did she dare to retreat and talk to Wu Yanzi in the other room.

Only Taoyao and Zheng Qiaoyan were left in the room, eating lunch slowly.

"I see that you are unhappy about your marriage. If you believe me, you can talk to me. Although I am not as capable as you, I can help you analyze the pros and cons and resolve your worries." Taoyao Suddenly he opened his mouth.

Zheng Qiaoyan was unmoved, just lowered her head and ate her food.

Tao Yao continued: "Look, I'm in trouble. The girl in this courtyard came to you first, and she told you everything. It's better for you, she refused to say a word to me. Tell me?"

Zheng Qiaoyan's heart moved after hearing this, but then she said: "You told me because I chased you to ask you."

Tao Yao said with a smile: "Then I am here to chase you and ask you questions now? Although I am stupid, a fool will always find something after all his worries. What if I can help you in some way?

Even if I can't help, I might feel better after listening to you complain a few words and scolding me. "

Zheng Qiaoyan stopped using her chopsticks, pursed her lips, and was speechless for a long time.

Tao Yao looked at her embarrassment and just continued to say slowly: "Don't worry. Whenever you want to talk to someone, I'm always here. You can come and talk to me at any time."

After hearing this, Zheng Qiaoyan continued to move her chopsticks, lowered her head and started to eat slowly.

Taoyao ate with her, but couldn't help but look at Zheng Qiaoyan. She felt that this girl seemed carefree, but she was also very thoughtful. She loved to inquire about gossips, watch plays and listen to books, but she couldn't say anything. Reluctant to talk to others easily.

It was even harder than Wu Yan to pry open her mouth and open her heart.

This girl is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. When she gets interested, she will climb up the pole and chase you. In order to hear a piece of gossip, she can ignore her rest days and run to Zi Ling Pavilion from home. But if she doesn’t want to talk, you can When he came forward, he could only press his warm face against her cold ass.

Tao Yao thought hard for something to talk to her about, almost telling all the unimportant gossip stories that she could remember, but she saw that Zheng Qiaoyan had a mediocre reaction to it and didn't seem to be very interested.

After lunch, Zheng Qiaoyan issued an eviction order: "Don't you want to take a nap at noon? Go back and have a rest."

Tao Yao was slightly frustrated and could only respond: "Okay then, you should take a rest, you will still be tired after noon."

Tao Yao stood up to leave and called Wu Yan over to clear away the dishes. However, Zheng Qiaoyan looked at Tao Yao's retreating back, with a faint warm smile on her lips.She was so stupid, she actually came to have lunch with me, and had to chat with me when she didn't have anything to say. It was really interesting, she really wanted to be nice to herself.

Wu Yan followed Tao Yao to Tao Yao's wing in the second courtyard. Tao Yao asked her, "What did you ask?"

Wu Yan was a little confused: "I don't know Hongrao very well, so I didn't dare to ask too much. Just as the girl said, it is true that Mr. Zheng mentioned that he wanted to marry Miss Qiaoyan, but he hasn't made up his mind yet. Which family is the son of?"

Tao Yao felt strange, why hadn't she decided which family it was yet, but the girl was already so repulsive?
What Zheng Qiaoyan said to Taoyao yesterday made Taoyao a little hesitant about whether to go to Luyue Library tomorrow.

However, after just a moment, Taoyao decided to go out the next day.

Early the next morning, Wu Yan packed Taoyao's things for going to the library and sent Taoyao out. Then she went back to the embroidery pavilion to prepare for learning needlework.

But Tao Yao was sitting alone in the carriage, still thinking about Zheng Qiaoyan. She suddenly thought of something and asked Tao Yi: "Uncle Yi, how much do you know about the Zheng family's affairs, the prefect of Hangzhou?"

Tao Yi, who was driving the carriage outside, heard this and quickly replied: "I know something about it."

Taoyao said: "Is Qiaoyan's mother proposing marriage to her? Do you know who you are seeing?"

Tao Yi thought for a while and then said: "Girl, it's impossible for Miss Zheng's mother to propose marriage to her."

Taoyao asked in confusion: "Why?"

Tao Yi said with a smile: "Ms. Zheng's mother and her father divorced more than ten years ago. Her mother has already married another man in the capital. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. She can no longer care about Miss Zheng's marriage." ”

Tao Yao was extremely surprised. She had never thought that Qiao Yan had such a complicated life experience: "So now, is the stepmother in charge of the back house of Magistrate Zheng?"

Tao Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Ms. Zheng's mother is her stepmother. Magistrate Zheng's first wife passed away very early, leaving only one son. Later, she married Miss Zheng's mother as a second wife, but it only lasted three years. They divorced, leaving only one daughter, Miss Zheng, with this step-brother.

At first, Miss Zheng was with her mother in the capital. Later, her mother remarried, and then Miss Zheng was sent over to be with Magistrate Zheng.

Magistrate Zheng never married again, and now there is no one in charge of the magistrate's back house. I heard his coachman joke that Miss Zheng has the final say in the back house of the Zheng family. "

Only then did Taoyao realize that there were so many changes in Zheng Qiaoyan's family. However, if this was the case: "Then who is in charge of Qiaoyan's marriage?"

Tao Yi said: "I don't know about this. Maybe she is Miss Zheng's aunt. Magistrate Zheng's sister is also in Hangzhou, and she is married to Master Meng, the governor of Zhejiang."

Taoyao couldn't help but sigh: "Admiral of Zhejiang? What a great official."

Tao Yi raised his whip while driving the carriage, and said: "Yes, I heard that Mr. Zheng's appointment as the prefect of Hangzhou was also based on the relationship of the admiral."
