The thought only briefly took a spin in my head and then vanished. Of course, Tan Xiaopei will not guard against him, even if he has never shown any ambition and is still Tan Weixin's husband; Even if he explained a series of strategies implemented in Yunzhou and the reasons why he did so, and had extensive and in-depth discussions with Tan Xiaopei in the letters he exchanged; Even if Danyang is in turmoil, there will be a book from the Intelligence Bureau or the Imperial Study to tell Tao...... But if Tan Xiaopei had full trust and no monitoring and restraint on a feudal official who held incomparably huge power, then Tan Xiaopei would not be a qualified monarch. Many of the officials sent to Yunzhou by Dongping were people from the Intelligence Bureau, and Tao's side included Liu Yong and Bi Xiaoqing, ordinary guards, servants, and many other people from the palace or the inner government. He had no idea of choosing to rebel, nor did he have the idea of helping anyone to rebel, and he was at ease with these things.

Knowing that Tan Xiaopei has something to hide from himself, and this time he may come to Danyang to cause some trouble, Tao only feels that it should be so, whether it is as a super craftsman or as a Yunzhou economic envoy, there are too many unusual things in what he does, and it is strange if there is no handle, Zou Shuang's does not seem to have any warning reminders, and naturally it also shows that it must be a harmless little thing, thinking of this, he talked and laughed with Zou Shuang along the way, and Tao's mood was not damaged by half a point.

The sergeants of the Blood Qi Army disbanded on the spot after accompanying Tao and his party into Danyang, which was equivalent to giving these sergeants who came to greet them a half-day off. Chang Huaiyin and his entourage took over the security work by the Chunnan Forbidden Army, welcomed into the Golden Valley Garden, and went to the last busy preparations before going to the Lianfei Province. And Zou Shuang enthusiastically sent Tao back to Zhengyuan, and even had a tone of wanting to stay in Zhengyuan for dinner. Tao doesn't care too much about an old friend like Zou Shuang, although he usually keeps a considerable distance from people and participates in activities such as dinners. After all, all these things that have been settled down are handled by servants and guards, and he can sit and chat with Zou Shuang.

There is only one thing that Tao can't understand, that is, why does Zou Shuang have such a mysterious smile on his face?

"My lord, Princess Embroidery has arrived." A servant suddenly walked into the living room and bowed down.

Tao's brows furrowed, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Zou Shuang's eyebrows twitch very slightly, and his action of opening the tea with the lid of the cup seemed to be so disguised, he immediately understood, the meeting girl knew that there was such a thing.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is also an old acquaintance, let's greet her here." Tao waved his hand and said. When the servant walked out of the living room with his front foot, Tao rushed to Zou Shuang with his hind foot, and said very seriously: "Brother Zou, do you know that Her Royal Highness the princess will come, and you won't say it earlier?" ”

Zou Shuang seemed to be extremely surprised, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Won't it? Didn't you expect His Highness to come? That look, that tone...... It makes Tao more and more itchy.

Zou Shuang patted Tao on the shoulder and said, "Cangbei, you are too uninteresting, to win the hearts of the two princesses, you don't even say a word about such a thing." You said earlier, even if things are tricky, how can a large group of our friends let this impossible thing be done for you. But what about you? Alas...... actually drove His Royal Highness back to Danyang. Alas, how can you bear it? ”

After he was stunned, he asked with a smile: "Who said this?" ”

"Naturally, it's Her Royal Highness the princess herself!" Zou Shuang smiled and said an inexplicable answer that shocked Tao.

Why is this plane so unrestrained all of a sudden?

"Brother-in-law......" Tao didn't know how long he was stunned, and a soft voice called him back to reality.

Tan Weiying stood in front of him again, still so beautiful and moving, so shining with the brilliance of youth. However, the current Tan Weiying seems to be a little more calm and persistent than before, but he is also slightly thinner than when he saw it in Yunzhou.

After answering Zou Shuang's salute, Tan Weiying glanced at him very meaningfully, as if to say: It doesn't matter if you want to see the joke, but there is a chance to make you sad when you look back. Zou Shuang secretly screamed badly, he usually had nothing to do with Tan Weiying, but he didn't expect to see him for a while, Tan Weiying actually had such eyes and majesty, so he really didn't dare to look at the joke and see the bottom. Tan Weiying is indeed not responsible for any specific things, but as the young woman with the highest status in Danyang, she has a very strong relationship with the female brothers of the majority of families, including Zou Shuang's wife, as long as she wants to, she can make many people's backyards unpeaceful.

Zou Shuang hurriedly retired, he didn't want his wife who was too simple, very cute and easy to deceive to be encouraged by Tan Weiying, once he was encouraged for the first time, there would inevitably be follow-up tricks in the future. Zou Shuang, who has seen many cases, doesn't want to have any personal experience in this area.

"My sister wrote and asked my brother-in-law to bring me something, right?" Tan Weiying asked very naturally.

"Well," he replied in contrast to Tan Weiying, who seemed to be very calm, and Tao replied, "Do you want it now?" ”

Tan Weiying grinned and said, "This thing arrives one day early, I'll have one more day to prepare, brother-in-law, I'll go with you to get it." ”

The conversation that others are completely confused by seems to be normal for these two people. Tao and Tan Weixin respectively instructed their subordinates to feel free in the living room or other courtyards of Zhengyuan, and the two of them walked side by side to the confidential data room at the back of Zhengyuan, next to Tao's workshop.

In fact, this confidential data room was just an ordinary ** bookstore, mainly used to pile up all kinds of technical materials of this era that Tao could collect, so as to distinguish it from the other room in the Zheng Garden that was used to store books on human beings. Therefore, in Zhengyuan, an environment dominated by the members of the clan's workshop, retired members and their families, that study room was rarely visited. However, this technical library may have been a little close to Tao's workshop, and it was soon used to store all kinds of drawings and technical materials that were becoming more and more secret, so that now, this library is guarded by several forbidden soldiers and palace guards, and in fact, they are still paid from there. After the precision mechanics workshop of the Clan's workshop researched the safe and precision locks, the library gradually became one of the safest rooms in this time and space, with a large underground vault on two floors. Behind the heavy cast bronze door sat a very small box with a few volumes. This box had actually just been put into the vault, Tao was not a fairy, he didn't know that Tan Wei Ying came so soon, so fast that the box had not completely exuded the faint heat on the road.

"Brother-in-law, I'll just take a look at it here, okay?" Taking the scrolls back to the library from the vault, Tan Weiying picked the most comfortable chair in the room and sat down, and asked calmly. "Brother-in-law, you can't be so idle, your father summoned you at night, you already know this."

Tao nodded helplessly and said, "Yes." It seems that this time back to Danyang, the situation is not simple. ”

A little bit of banter, Tan Weiying showed a mischievous smile, but generally still maintained a very good and safe look during the whole process of her visit to see Tao this time. "Brother-in-law, don't worry, you are the Yunzhou Economic Envoy, no one can do anything to you."

These words did not make Tao feel much at ease, and he asked Tan Weiying to stay in the study by himself and read the books, while himself, full of suspicion, walked out and returned to the living room to say hello to the princess's entourage. After knowing Tan Weiying's feelings for him, it was somewhat strange to face Tan Weiying again. If Tan Weiying had firmly expressed her feelings in front of others, then there was only one explanation for her unhesitation: not only did her feelings not change with her being sent back to Yunzhou, but she was more persistent, tenacious, and more calm. To be able to stand in front of him so calmly, to call him brother-in-law in the same soft tone as ever, to be able to carry out the things that had been said in the correspondence in a calm tone as if nothing had happened, without any haste, was a remarkable growth. It was only when she came to the Zhengyuan of the mansion early in the morning that she quietly revealed her thoughts.

The people waiting in the living room were quite a few acquaintances, including the steward of the embroidery garden, the chief of the guard of Tan Weiying, the female attendant of Tan Weiying, and two accountants who helped Tan Weiying take care of those financial affairs, and some were very strange. In particular, a young man sitting on one side, next to the two accountants, stared at Tao with a very hostile gaze. Being able to sit in this position, and look like he was still talking and laughing with the two accountants, I think this young man should at least be someone who is more familiar with Tan Weiying. In the middle of Tao's moment, the young man stood up by himself, bowed deeply at Tao, and saluted: "No, Shen Dan, I have seen Jingluo." ”

Tao bowed his hand politely and asked, "I don't know ...... you?" ”

A scribe from the Jingluo Mansion on the side immediately reminded: "Mr. Shen Dan is the chief editor of the "Historical Research" series of Baotang Book Company, the national supervisor of the sacrificial wine, and one of the main initiators of several poetry societies here in Danyang. Dongping is a famous poet and historian. ”

Shen Dan hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare." Poetry may be passable, but historiography is just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, not just a guest of the embroidery garden. ”

As soon as Shen Dan said this, the two accountants on the side and Tan Weiying's chief of the guard, Jin Ze, chuckled in their hearts, and secretly shouted that it was not good, and it was very problematic for Shen Dan to call himself "not talented", although his position in the sacrificial wine hanging by the state eunuch was not an official position, but after all, it was in the official official list, and when he saw Tao not going down and down to salute with his official position, there were usually only two situations: one was to learn from himself, and the other was to be ready to rely on his ability to find trouble. Looking at Shen Dan's appearance, it seems to be both. Although Tan Weiying has funded quite a few talented poor students, he has always been very low-key in this regard. The help she gives always comes quietly through those who need help from her friends, and she doesn't expect anything in return. But the young students didn't know it at first, but after they knew, they couldn't help but feel grateful. The vast majority of the students who received the subsidy were not ashamed of having to accept the subsidy because of their poor family background, and they became more and more energetic, vowing to repay the Dongping talker, and for the most direct help to their Tan Weiying, they were even more admired and cared for. Later, these sponsored students spontaneously formed associations to carry out academic and other exchanges, and all the members of this society claimed to be "embroidered garden doormen" The title also started from him.

This spontaneous loose society does not allow its members, especially those who have served at all levels of the imperial court, that is, those who have been freed from the status of rice worms, to provide any substantial help to those members who are still receiving funding, at most to provide some information about the selection of officials, and anonymous recommendations are the maximum help that this society tolerates. In addition to a strong and pure academic atmosphere and positive inspirational mutual encouragement, the society pursues strict self-discipline. If you want to get ahead, you can only rely on your own efforts. Since most of the students in the society are poor students, they have a better understanding of the life and studies of the same poor students, and they are much more responsive, and now the society has actually become an important reference party for Tan Weiying to provide important reference opinions when subsidizing poor students. Do you need funding, how to fund, and those who don't work hard after receiving funding, but are obsessed with diligently drilling camps, should they be persuaded or simply cut off funding...... This group of "embroidery garden doormen" is very influential in this regard.

Such a society will naturally not arouse too much vigilance among officials in the imperial court. They are loyal and gentle, and our high-spirited and upward research momentum has always been affirmed by many officials in the DPRK, compared with those groups such as the poetry society that sings the wind and the moon, such a spiritual outlook is more in line with the needs of Dongping.

Today, Shen Dan didn't come with the people from the Princess's Mansion, but after Tan Weiying just entered the Zhengyuan, Shen Dan, who "happened to passby" the gate of the Mansion, saw an acquaintance from the Princess's Mansion who was still packing up the car in front of the door, and then "enthusiastically" joined the ranks of those who came to visit Tao together. He was an acquaintance of Xiuyuan, and everyone didn't think much about it, so they let Shen Dan come in and wait for Tao. And Shen Dan's self-proclaimed "embroidery garden doorman" immediately reminded everyone that this society does not seem to be a gentle and high-spirited group, and the only time they have almost succeeded in making trouble is aimed at Tao. 、

Two days before that, when Huang Wan, a close friend of Tan Weiying who had come to Danyang and was now the wife of Lu Dan, the governor of Yicheng, asked if the "love affair" between her and Tao was true, she calmly admitted her feelings, frankly admitted the "agreement" between herself and her sister that people didn't know how to comment on, recounted what she had done all along, and finally explained why she didn't finally create a fait accompli in a situation that had been set almost perfectly, so as to force her father to agree to the matter.

Whether it has always been Tan Weiying's friend, or someone who dismisses her, an overly lively princess, has to admire Tan Weiying's courage in admitting these things on such an occasion in the face of many top Dongping family members, including Huang Wan. Dongping is not as pedantic as Chunnan, and it is not as thoroughly regarded marriage as a tool for combining vertical and horizontal like the Xiling family, but it is true that it does not have the Kuangda folk customs in the territories of Northern Liao, Yunzhou, and northern tribes. In Tan Weiying's calm narrative, there may indeed be hope, but more of it is about bearing the status quo, a kind of struggle in the quagmire of despair, not knowing when I will be able to wait for help from someone who knows who.

From a woman's point of view - and this is also the good wish of many daughters of the family including Huang Wan - this kind of assistance is best from Tao, if Tao can take the initiative and find ways to respond to the relationship with Tan Weiying, it is naturally ideal. But everyone knows that even if there is Tao's statement, it is still Tan Xiaopei - the lord of Dongping who can decide this matter in the end. Sympathy and concern for Tan Weiying is already the highest degree that many of Tan Weiying's friends can do.

But those students who have been funded by Tan Weiying, who can survive with these subsidies, who can continue their studies, and who can obtain jobs or official positions as their own careers and careers, are not so calm and rational. When the news reached these guys who called themselves "Embroidery Garden Doormen", they organized a gloomy atmosphere for the first time.

The admiration of the guests of the embroidery garden for the princess has made them a type of person who can be called "fans" if they are placed in the standards of Tao and Tan Weixin, their logic has become extremely simple and direct, and they are not as complex and rational as when they usually study knowledge, they have no response to Tao actually facing Tan Weixin's feelings, pretending to be deaf and dumb when they have not been pierced, and watching quietly after the matter is revealed, When the lord of the country recalled Tan Weiying, apart from the general etiquette, there was not even any retention, etc., etc., and the faux pas were furious. In their opinion, whether Tan Weiying likes Tao, or is it possible between them...... These are not problems, it's okay for Tan Weiying to do such irrational things, but Tao has always remained calm and reasonable, which greatly hurt the feelings of an innocent, noble, and kind girl like Tan Weiying, which is absolutely unforgivable!

After a group of Xiuyuan doormen got drunk, they actually smashed the two Tissot table clocks at the exit of the restaurant's Rich's workshop, and then actually held torches and marched towards Zhengyuan......

If it weren't for the fact that someone quickly informed the people concerned of the incident, and many people, including Kanazawa, were able to control the situation in the first place, I am afraid that this would have been the first demonstration in the history of Dongping...... Since the main body involved is learning, it may be barely a student tide, although the reason for this incident is really not very good on the stage.
