"The lord is not good to anyone, and no one likes it"

Qingzhu replied flatly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What? I don't understand."

Qingzhu shook his head and spoke eloquently.

The Tao family has been operating ceramics in Baicheng for several generations, and it was not until the generation of Tao Da Lao that they began to make a fortune.

Over the years, the Tao family has earned a lot of money, and the family business has become bigger and bigger, but it is regrettable that the family has always been white.

There was no official in the court to maintain the growing family business, even if there was no minor official even for the remote relatives.

Every time the road is paved and dotted, it is relied on silver, and it is bought and sold with a hammer, and then the officials turn their faces and deny people, which makes people both painful and hateful.

It took a lot of money, not to mention, these people are all unfamiliar things, and if you have something to find them, no matter how deep the friendship is, it is not easy to do without money.

The amount of silver that the Tao family has given away over the years is not a few million taels, which is about the same.

It's impossible to say that you don't feel distressed.

Therefore, the Tao family let go at the beginning of the generation of the eldest man, so that the grandchildren of each house, as long as they reach the age of studying, are not allowed to get involved in the Tao family's business, and they will first focus on scientific research.

However, after all these years, no one in the Tao family has been able to successfully pass the scientific examination, let alone become an official, and even distant relatives have not produced a small official with a sesame seed.

This is something that Master Tao hates extremely much.

Seeing that he is getting older and older, and none of his children and grandchildren have successfully passed the scientific examination, he has to consider letting him give up his studies and come back to inherit the family business.

The family business is getting bigger and bigger, it will attract the prying eyes of others, if there is no official to guard it, sooner or later, the Tao family will be targeted, and the family business will be in danger.

In order to find relatives who are officials to help, Master Tao has a ridiculous move, that is, he always tries to use his daughter to marry officials.

But if the daughter of a merchant wants to marry a high-ranking official, it is impossible.

Ordinary good families don't marry business women, let alone marry official families.

It's okay to be a servant and a concubine, but if you are a slave or a maid, you will pity your own children.

But this Tao master rarely thinks about this, his son is useful to him and can help the family business, and his daughter is just a tool to consolidate the Tao family's status.

Over the years, although he has also sent a few of the Tao family's daughters out, the harvest is very small.

Just because these Tao family girls sent out are all concubines, not to mention, the officials they are looking for are all petty officials of seven or eight grades, and their status is not much, and their daughters are only angry when they come to their homes because they are businessmen.

Master Tao would be angry for a few days after giving away a daughter, not to mention that it didn't help, and he also put on a rich dowry.

Tao Xiushui listened to it for a long time and knew what her father liked, one money, two powers, and three herself.

The original owner was able to live such a comfortable life, thanks to Mrs. Tao.

If Mrs. Tao mentioned her family affairs to her father, most of them would have to agree.

It is much better to be a concubine for the forest lord of Baicheng than to be a slave and a maid.

Tao Xiushui walked around the house a few times, and she had to find a way to make her father not agree to this family affair.

What to do?

Tao Xiushui thought for a while, and suddenly remembered the demon spirit, and shouted in his heart: "Demon spirit, tell me what to do?"

But she called out a few times in a row, and the villain didn't answer.

I picked up the pendant around my neck and shook it, but there was no sound inside.

It seems that this villain can't help her.

If she wants to be more useful, wouldn't she have to marry Lin Zhubo.

Thinking of this, she looked up at Qingzhu and said, "Yesterday, that girl said that I robbed someone else's man, what the hell is going on?"

Qingzhu seemed to have a bitter smile on his face for a long time before he muttered, "Miss, people are right, you are a man who wants to rob others"

"What's going on, let's hear it."

……

It turned out that there was a handsome and golden-looking son in Baicheng, known as the first son called Xiao An.

The Xiao family is in the cloth business, and it is also an imperial businessman, I heard that the silk book produced by this family is as thin as silkworm wings, extremely cool, and a batch is worth a thousand gold, but ordinary people have never seen it, only the nobles of the palace have it.

The Xiao family is different from other merchants.

The Xiao family in Baicheng is the most famous among these merchants.

Although the Xiao family is not a family in the palace, the second master of the Xiao family is a fourth-rank official in Shuntian Mansion in Beijing, and this right is not comparable to ordinary people.

And there are also a number of outstanding juniors in the Xiao Mansion.

There are two lifters, three tanhua, and four examples.

I don't know if it's the support of the second master Xiao or what, anyway, the Xiao family has a lot of officials, big and small.

Although there is no champion, the Xiao family believes that there will be a day when Xiao Dashao will be given great hope by the family.

But this person is good, he just loves to drink flower wine, and he will make do with the girl if he has nothing to do.

But one thing is good, although this man drinks, he really hasn't heard of any trouble, although he is more amorous by nature, but this man's room is very clean, and there is no room or aunt.

Xiao An is the most outstanding generation among the merchants, who must be talented, good-looking, and have his back against the big tree to enjoy the shade, and has become the object of competition for marriage.

It's just that over the years, although this person has already reached the marriageable age, he has not heard that his family wants to marry him.

This person has not been married for a day, and the young lady who came forward with him can be lined up outside the city from the gate of Xiao's mansion.

Although there is little hope, every family still holds great hope.

Among them, the Tao family is the most victorious, especially Mrs. Tao.

She has given birth to a daughter and two sons since she entered the door, and her daughter is only a few months younger than Tao Xiushui.

is such a baby daughter, how can she bear to let her be a concubine, even if the other party is a high-ranking official in the court, she doesn't want to wronged her daughter.

And Master Tao admits death, and it doesn't matter whether he is a concubine or not, he can only use it.

He doesn't care if his daughter is good or bad in the future.

That's why Dr. Tao is very interested in Xiao An and wants to marry his daughter to him.

In the last few days, I didn't know if it was true or not, and said that Xiao An was going to choose a young lady in Baicheng to marry.

And the original owner Tao Xiushui didn't know how he heard this, he hadn't seen Xiao An, and he didn't know who he was, so he wanted to sabotage Tao Xiumei's marriage, so she went to seduce this person.

But what I didn't expect was that this Xiao An was really as rumored, and he was handsome and talented.

Since the original owner saw it, he was really obsessed with this person.

It's good to think about marrying this person.

Once, she secretly went to Xiao An for a tryst, thinking that if this person didn't marry her, she would cook raw rice and cooked rice.

Unexpectedly, although Xiao An was rumored, he was not in a mess.

Pushed the original owner to the ground and broke his head.

After that, Xiao An sent the original owner back.

Tao Xiushui frowned when he heard this, and Xiao An unintentionally pushed it, but it caused the original owner to lose the fragrance and jade.

And this Xiao family in Baicheng, as well as this Xiao An, she seems to have heard of it before.

It was only later that she remembered that she had heard of this person, because she had also been surnamed Xiao before.
