After the dinner, the potters and their families were reunited and complained to each other.

Little Tao snuggled in the arms of the potter, and consulted the potter about various things since he went out, and the chatter and noise did not stop until the night was dark, and he was coaxed to sleep by the potter.

After soothing the children to sleep, the potter and his wife chatted about family matters in the hall of the back house, and they all talked to each other.

Mi Zhen and Lu Lingqi's bellies were already getting bigger and bigger, which was left behind by the potter's last time when he returned to Pengchengduan after the Battle of Qufu.

One shot, and it's two, and the potter sometimes has to admire his ability when he looks in the mirror.

After a while, the two women also approached giving birth.

Originally, they didn't want them to toss together, but after Mi Zhen and Lu Lingqi discussed, they resolutely came to Xuchang City.

After all, this is the second and third heirs of the pottery merchant after Tao Lone, and they are important members of the Tao family, according to Lu Lingqi, the child has a father by his side when he is about to give birth, and this has a very special meaning for the child on the grassland - this can make it easier for the child to get the blessing of the gods.

However, the potter was not very satisfied with this, and he was slightly dissatisfied with the education of Lu Lingqi and Mi Zhen.

But with little success.

The two ladies have been following the potter for a long time, and they have become more and more thick-skinned, which makes the potter very helpless.

It's just that, they are also kind, and they are all pregnant, what more can they say? Let's not take this as an example.

This night, everyone talked together, which was also a good time, but there was one person who seemed to be a little more silent than usual, and always distracted, this person was none other than Diao Chan.

Her strong smile was clearly felt by the potter.

After the night was dark, all the women went back to their rooms to rest, but the potter called Zhen Mi alone.

In the meaningful eyes of Mi Zhen and Lu Lingqi, Zhen Mi stayed.

After a while, there were only two people left in the hall, the potter and Zhen Mi, and the atmosphere became very strange for a while.

Zhen Mi lowered her head and grabbed the corner of her skirt with her hand.

Some time ago, the potter had already sent people to ask for the names of the Yuan family and the Zhen family, and the matter of marrying the two had already been put on the agenda.

In this regard, Zhen Mi knows it.

But before officially entering the Tao family, he had to have a round house with the potter, but Zhen Mi was not ready.

But in his heart, if the potter really asks him, Zhen Mi will not refuse, it depends on how the potter talks to him about this matter.

After a period of silence between the two, they heard the potter say, "Zhen Mi, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"You asked...... Isn't this inappropriate? Zhen Mi's voice was like a mosquito.

"Isn't it appropriate?" The potter shook his head and said, "What's wrong with my matter, to be honest, I'm not a fool, I can't see the changes in this." ”

When Zhen Mi heard this, her heart tightened slightly, and she seemed to understand what the potter was saying.

Or this man is thoughtful.

Suddenly preparing to welcome the two new ladies into the house, the mood of the original women in the family will definitely change, even if Zhen Mi gets along well with Tao's wives on weekdays, but he can't help but consider the powerful relationship in this, especially the two ladies are still pregnant with children in their wombs.

In that case, let's make a statement in front of him.

"The prime minister can rest assured that although the little woman is young, she also knows women's virtues, and she will definitely not do the ...... of competing for favors"

After saying this, the entire hall suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

Zhen Mi, who had been keeping her head down, mustered up her courage and raised her head.

What I could see was the potter's smiling expression and the smart light in his eyes.

This made Zhen Mi's pretty face even redder.

"Xiao Mi, the two of us chatting, it doesn't seem to be the same thing." The potter's tone could not hide his smile.

"No, isn't it a thing?" Zhen Mi's tone was full of doubts: "Then what are you leaving me for?" ”

"I wanted to ask you about Wang Yun and Diao Chan, what? What do you think Tao is doing? ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Zhen Mi almost didn't find a crack in the ground to get into it by herself.

What are you trying to figure out?

An unmarried woman actually took the initiative to think about it...... Now this person is a big loss!

But this surnamed Tao is really hateful, who are you asking about your wife and your father-in-law, why do you want to ask me?

I'm not your mother-in-law!

Zhen Mi straightened her face, looked at the potter very dissatisfied, and said, "Why do you want to ask the little girl about the matter between the lady and the royal chief?" ”

The pottery merchant said very seriously: "I feel that Diao Chan and Wang Yun seem to have something to hide from me, the clues in this, others should not be able to see, but you have been in business since childhood, you have a lot of experience in Hebei, and you are extremely intelligent, you are observant on weekdays, and in the days of Pengcheng, you get along with the people in Tao Mansion like a family, I think only you can see some traces that others can't see." ”

These high hats are put on one after another, which naturally makes Zhen Mi a little fluttery.

She seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment of Shicai, and with her fair and smooth chin, she paced back and forth in the hall, thinking carefully as she went.

The potter did not bother her, but let her ponder there.

When he was young, he saw Zhen Mi say to him: "I feel that Madame seems to have something to hide from us." ”

"What's the matter?"

Zhen Mi smiled helplessly: "Madam even hid it from you, how can you tell me?" However, she has been in Pengcheng lately, and she seems to often go to find someone. ”

"Who?"

"Zhang Ji."

"Zhang Ji?" The potter was stunned for a moment, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

His hand shook slightly, and the wine cup in his hand fell under the table in excitement.

Zhen Mi was shocked when she saw this, she picked up the wine cup from under the table and walked to the potter's side.

Looking at the potter's slightly bitter expression, Zhen Mi didn't hesitate, and held the potter's slightly trembling hand tightly.

……

A few days later, the potter came to Wang Yun with a letter written to him by Zhang Ji.

"Why didn't you tell me?" The potter's face was slightly distorted as he was agitated.

Wang Yun was very calm, he rarely did not quarrel with the potter, but asked him rhetorically: "What do you tell you?" ”

"You're sick!"

"You're sick!" Wang Yun was anxious and scolded him angrily.

The potter took a deep breath and said, "Don't mess around, you know what I'm talking about?" Why are you hiding it from me? ”

"Tell you that the old man is not in good health, and his life will be exhausted?" Wang Yun reversed his usual irritable and irritable state, and said: "Who is not dead? In the world of the Han Dynasty, people are dying every day, what's the big deal, I have to tell you? ”

In the potter's eyes, tears began to blur his vision.

More than ten years ago, the scene of his first acquaintance with Wang Yun and Huangfu Song unconsciously came to his mind, from knowing him in Bianshui, to dividing the courtiers, and then to the same state, outwitting the scholars of Hanoi County, and then returning to Xuzhou, he cultivated the Tao...... One by one, it seems like it was yesterday.

When Wang Yun saw the appearance of the potter, his calm face showed anger for the first time: "Hold back for the old man!" Don't let the old man see you like this! It's not enough for the old man to be crooked! ”

The potter raised his hand, gently wiped the mist off his eyes, and hummed, "Are you willing to cry for you?" ”

Wang Yun raised his head and looked directly at the potter, who also looked at him unconvincedly.

Suddenly, Wang Yunle was happy.

"That's right, this is you, since the first day I met you, you have been like this...... After so many years, your official is rising, and your territory is getting bigger, but you are still you, and it hasn't changed to this day, don't let the old man down, the old man doesn't want to see you become...... It became the appearance of Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway. ”

The potter was silent for a while, and said, "I will definitely keep in mind my father-in-law's words." ”

"Hehe, it's been fourteen years, and it seems that you haven't called me my father-in-law much...... The old man's life is short, but he has the medicine that Zhang Ji dispenses, and he said that if he recuperates well, he will have almost a year to live...... Haha, one year is enough, enough. ”
