Chapter 2: A Summer of Clouds and Rain (23)
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, how are we doing?" Tao Xiang didn't want to talk about this matter more, and raised his eyes to look at Kong Yuanxuan, "Huiquan and I have met in Paris before." Shu Ma Baba Ring"
"You, in the past two years, you have been going out to study, but it is better to travel. Yuan Yao also said that day, please send her a letter everywhere you go, so that she can save stamps. In the past few years, I waited for you to send two letters, and one was sent from Shanghai, and she was angry when she mentioned it. You go back and see how you send her. ”
"I remember, she saved all the stamps." Tao Xiang said.
"Just remember. I'll torture you again when you're over the table - I know your ticket to Shanghai departs from Kyoto. Kong Yuan said with a smile.
"I can't drink more. There's something going on tonight. Tao Xiang said. did not deny that he returned to the country through Dongying.
"What can it be? Except for the fact that your father came to Beiping that day, other things, even if the president promoted you to be a generalissimo, it would not matter. Kong Yuan said with a smile. He knew the relationship between the Tao family and his son. Tao Xiang's father, Tao Shengchuan, is a well-known figure. This is very similar to the parents of Miss Cheng who just left. He couldn't help but smile at the thought of this. Tao Xiang didn't want to mention this marriage, so he didn't mention Miss Cheng's family affairs for the time being.
"It was my father who came to Beiping. But it wasn't alarming. If the people up and down knew that he had arrived, I was afraid that there would be a big commotion. If it is just in the past, it is inevitable that something will happen at this time. Tao Xiang said with a smile.
"Oh? Could it be that you are here to ......" Kong Yuanxuan smiled. The Tao family since the Qing Dynasty, since the support of the northwest self-respect, to Tao Shengchuan's generation, decades of steady and steady, the power is getting stronger and stronger, in recent years, he has concurrently served as the chairman of several northwest provinces, the current situation is so complex and sensitive, his every move is naturally more attention-grabbing. In this case, he quietly came to Beiping, which is really incomprehensible.
Tao Xiao did not speak.
My father wants to come to Beiping, whether public or private, there is indeed more than one thing.
The second brother Tao Si told him a long time ago that no matter how he asked him to stay at home honestly and wait for his father to come these days, he still acted according to his own wishes, and the second brother who had already provoked him first was very unhappy. Of course, his second brother can't do anything about him, and his father is different. Especially, this time I came to Peking with my father, and my mother. Although he is not his own child, his mother who brought him up has always treated him like an eyeball. And how could they come to Peking together, he knew in his heart.
Tao Xiang picked up the tea bowl, blew the floating leaves, and drank it slowly.
This summer's Beiping was a little too hot for him who had just returned from continental Europe, especially after the cool and humid summer days of Kyoto and Nara.
And the riot he just experienced made him irritable like the floating leaves in this tea bowl that refused to sink easily.

Zhao Zongqing was waiting at the gate of Zhao's house, saw his car coming back, and took two steps forward.
There was no time to get out of the car first, and he called out to Zhao Zongqing with a smile: "Big brother." Seeing Zhao Zongqing's straight face, she asked with a smile: "Did you come back early today?" ”
