Chapter 106: Conditions
Tao Xiushui was restless all day, always worried that something would happen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Such an idea made her unable to concentrate on her work when she went to the porcelain kiln, and then she had no choice, so she asked Qingzhu to go out for a stroll.
The sky in July has been clear and hot, and the long-awaited rainy day is not full of rain clouds because of personal hopes, on the contrary, there are only a few clouds drifting today, although it obscures a few bright suns, but it does not bring much coolness, but it seems a little irritable and stuffy.
Tao Xiushui was in a heavy mood, and he didn't feel the heat when he walked to the street, so he led Qingzhu to wander along the street.
After walking for a while, Qingzhu was very hot, and he felt that his head was wet up and down, and his hair was dripping sweat all the time.
Seeing that her young lady kept walking and didn't go to the shops on both sides, she really couldn't help but say:
"Miss, are you hot, why don't we go to the teahouse and sit there?"
Tao Xiushui was in a bad mood, so she kept walking to vent, and when she heard the girl next to her talking, she replied "Okay"
The two went to a nearby open-air tea shop on the roadside, and the pergola on it was once again caught in the sultry sun, and they suddenly felt extremely cold.
At this time, there are a lot of cool people in the tea shop, basically because the street is too hot to drink, so they just find a place to sit, regardless of whether it is clean or not, just thinking that they can moisten the dry throat.
Tao Xiushui led Qingzhu and was warmly introduced by Xiao Er to sit on the side.
The two ordered a few snacks and a pot of tea to relieve the heat, and sat here to watch the passers-by eat and drink.
Qingzhu knew that the young lady was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to say more.
But right here, she suddenly saw a person on the road a little familiar.
"Hey...... Miss, look, is that person the second master?"
Tao Xiushui was extremely sensitive to this title, turned his head and glanced at it a few times and said, "What about that!"
"Miss, look, the one who just came out of that restaurant"
Tao Xiushui followed Qingzhu's fingertips, and finally saw the familiar figure.
Second Master Tao is not too tall, he is also a little thin, and he does not have the temperament of being personable, so he looks a little obscene.
At this time, this person was with a bright and dazzling smile on his face, which made Tao Xiushui's heart tremble.
This person ......, is he going to do something bad?
"Qingzhu, you secretly go to the door of the restaurant where Second Master Tao just went to take a look, see if you can meet an acquaintance and come out of it, go now, and come back to me immediately when you see it"
The worry in her heart made Tao Xiushui walk on thin ice.
It's nothing to be sold, but if you want to be sold and pay for the people, it will be hateful.
The second master Tao went straight down the street, because he was happy in his heart, his face was red, and he didn't have time to look at the two sides.
Thinking about it in my heart, if you ask the Li family for some silver money directly, it is obviously not good-looking, but if you want some shops, fields or porcelain kilns, it is not bad to ask for the same price as silver money.
Since sending away that batch of official silver, the second master Tao has been distressed for several days, and then he was scolded by Mrs. Tao, and this heart was relieved.
After all, human life and money still have to choose the former.
Although no one said anything during this time, the Tao family is indeed not as good as before, and life is a little embarrassing.
He has a lot of celestials who haven't played two handfuls, and if he can exchange the extra things for money, he will have plenty of money.
Tao Erye was happy when he thought of this, his hands kept rubbing, feeling that the sun above was hot to the eyes, his steps were brisk, and he walked towards the gambling house in Nancheng involuntarily.
I'm in a good mood today, and maybe I can win some money if I play two games!
Qingzhu hurriedly went back, looked at the young lady in front of him and said with a bad face:
"Miss, I see an acquaintance"
"Who?"
"Yes...... That young master of the Li family"
Tao Xiushui's heart was cold when he heard it, it seems that there is no doubt that the second master Tao and Li Mingyuan are indeed related.
"Got it, let's go!"
Although I was depressed when I heard this, I already had an idea in my heart.
The only people who can compete with the second master are the old lady and her stepmother, Mrs. Tao.
The two of them came out of the tea shed, as if they were in the shade and instantly came to the fire.
The clouds that had existed in the sky had long since disappeared, and the scorching sun began to shine on the earth unscrupulously again.
Qingzhu walked a few steps and was wet with sweat all over his body, looked at the calm and relaxed young lady and said, "Miss, are you hot?"
Tao Xiushui calmed his heart with his feet and replied, "It's not hot, if you want to be hot, go quickly"
The two didn't use half of the incense before returning to Tao's house again.
Second Master Tao hasn't come back yet.
Tao Xiushui led Qingzhu back to the small courtyard, took a shower and changed clothes, and then went to Mrs. Tao.
Before I even entered the door, I heard a commotion inside.
Qingzhu is now familiar with the people in that courtyard, and he asked a few words, saying that Tao Xiumei was inside.
Tao Xiushui secretly sighed that he didn't come at the right time, and it was not good to enter, and it would be even more unpleasant to turn around and leave.
I couldn't stop outside, so I had to bite the bullet in.
I deliberately asked the little maid to make a report, so that the two people in the house knew before raising their feet and entering the house.
Tao Xiushui went in and saw the lady sitting on one side with a red face, her eyes were slightly red and swollen, and she was crying at first glance.
She pretended not to see it, and saluted the eldest lady with a normal face: "Mother didn't disturb your rest!"
I have to change my name.
"Oh, no, I haven't had a good rest recently, didn't Xiushui go to the porcelain kiln today?"
"I went, but the porcelain kiln was so hot that it couldn't be done, so I asked the craftsman to rest at noon, and then make pottery after the hot and dry time in the afternoon."
"Yes, it's very hot," Mrs. Tao replied unintentionally.
Because of the death of Master Tao, she has been depressed, frowning all day long, and has no intention of the world.
Today, under the persuasion of my subordinates, I went out to stand for a while, and I couldn't stand it anymore.
The eldest lady's room was made of ice, and it was very cool.
Tao Xiushui saw that the eldest lady was disgusted, and she didn't have the spirit to say: "Mother, you have to take care of your body!"
"Well, good boy"
Tao Xiushui saw that the eldest lady had lost weight, she was originally a slightly thicker body, but now she was not as thin as Deng, and she also looked softer, but her face was dull and there was no light.
People are already in poor health, what should they say! Especially in front of Tao Xiumei's delicate girl.
Strange to say, this one sat silently.
Tao Xiushui looked up and said, "Is my sister also too hot, so she came to my mother to steal the shock?"
Tao Xiumei heard a light snort, "I'm not as shallow as some people."
"How can you talk to your sister, kid!" Mrs. Tao said with an angry face.
Tao Xiumei didn't give way: "Sister, I don't have such a sister"
"You...... Mother Xu, go and take the young lady to kneel in the ancestral hall, and don't let her out without my words."
"Hmph, just go, anyway, you still have your daughter standing here, it's none of anyone's business for me to live or die"
"You...... Mrs. Tao was so angry that her face turned pale, and she was already weak because she had not eaten well or slept well recently, and she was a little dizzy at this time.
Tao Xiushui looked at Xu Pozi coming, her eyes unconsciously glanced at her, she hurriedly smiled and said:
"Slow down, Mother Xu, go first! Mother is talking about playing!"
Mrs. Xu said in her heart that this young lady is indeed different, she has learned to look at people's eyes, smiled back at her, and turned around.
"Mother, my sister is still young! What are you angry with her?" Tao Xiushui glanced at Tao Xiumei, who was on fire on the side.
