Chapter 183: Reception (2)
Lin Wanrong hurriedly pulled the eldest lady, are you a little girl who is confused? Now that Tao Dongcheng personally set up the note in his hand, he just takes over the Tao family, and he is still arguing? Even if the Xiao family is fraudulent, your surname Tao can only admit it, Tao Dongcheng has done so many bad things, Lao Tzu blackmailed him once, do you bite me?
Tao Yu said: "My son Dongcheng, I accidentally contracted an illness yesterday, and I am now recuperating at home, and it is not too late to confront you until the injury is healed." β
Nursed? I'm afraid it's on the belly of a chick. Lin Wanrong thought of her masterpiece and laughed in her heart.
The eldest lady snorted: "Lord Tao, I am just a people's girl, you are an official of the imperial court, so you naturally know more laws and regulations than me." β
She took out a contract from her arms, which was the note signed by Tao Dongcheng on the Qingyu Building that day: "This note was set up by Tao Gongzi in the Qingyu Building, with Tao Gongzi's signature and signature, and the signature of Master Xu Wei, a scholar of Yipin University, to show that he personally notarized." This evidence is proof, the facts are there, should Master Tao also deny it? β
"Bold Xiao Yuruo, how dare you deceive this official? Lord Xu is a virtuous minister of the court, how noble is his status, how can you know Lord Xu as a woman? I am afraid that you forged this seal. Tao Yu said rudely.
"Bold!" Chief Gao stepped forward, pointed at Tao Yuhuo and shouted, "You, a little sesame official, dare to doubt Lord Xu Wei's seal?" Dog's eyes go to the sky? β
"Who are you?" Tao Yu saw that this person was tall and strong, with sharp eyes, and hurriedly shouted.
Chief Gao took out a golden token from his waist, shook it in front of him, and said, "I am a first-class guard with a knife in the palace, and I am ordered by the emperor to protect Lord Xu Wei." The seal on this book was mentioned by Lord Xu Wei himself, and he was worried that someone would cheat him. Specially asked me to go to Jinling to clarify this matter, but you, the dog official, saw the seal but pretended not to know it, could it be that you want to reverse it? β
Chief Gao worked as a guard in the palace, and all the people he saw were princes and ministers. This Suzhou weaving is just a sesame official in his eyes. The people around the emperor, even if they have no official position, are also three points older than the official, and he keeps scolding Tao Yu for being a dog official, and Tao Yu naturally does not dare to speak.
The eldest lady didn't talk nonsense with Tao Yu, and handed over the note to Lin Wanrong, Lin Wanrong took the note, walked around in front of everyone in the field, and shook the note: "Fathers, see it clearly, this is Tao Dongcheng personally signed and signed." A clear proof that I want to transfer the Tao family cloth village to my Xiao family. Our eldest lady is benevolent and kind, and she doesn't want to deliberately make things difficult for the Tao family, so she gave them a day to relocate. Who would have thought that today's Tao family would be so arrogant. Not only did he beat up the representative sent by my Xiao family to receive it, but he also didn't even recognize the note that he personally signed and drawn? Lord Tao is an official, but I want to ask you, old folks, can officials bully our kind people at will? bullied the Xiao family today. Will he bully the Zhang family and the Li family again tomorrow? Isn't there a place in this world where there is reason? β
Lin Wanrong's words were half-truths and half-falsehoods, and the young master of Sao Bao's cousin changed in his mouth. became the receiving representative sent by the Xiao family, a messenger of justice, and the embodiment of bravery. The young master was very happy when he heard this, and said with his head held high: "Let go of me, let go of me." β
Lin Wanrong's last few words were very provocative, making it clear that they wanted to provoke a harmonious relationship between the government and the people, and the crowd immediately burst into a shout of "release people, release people". After a while, the voice resonated and became more and more intense.
The eldest lady saw a few people in the crowd, and they looked very familiar, like the family members of the Xiao family's inner mansion, and she even saw Xiao Feng and Side, and they were the most cheerful in the crowd. Lin Wanrong glanced at her and smiled slightly, that's right, this is Tuo.
Seeing the anger of the people, Tao Yu couldn't help but change his complexion, took a few steps back, and shouted: "Close the door-"
"Lord Luo, the governor of Jiangsu, has arrivedβ" A long cry woke everyone up. A small sedan chair swayed from a distance.
Lin Wanrong secretly sighed, Luo Min, an old fox, always chooses to appear at critical times, I think it is to scare my life. Needless to say, this old boy must have been hiding in a dark corner to watch a good show before, and when he saw that Tao Yu, who had already argued with the eldest lady, had nothing to say, he showed up and picked a ready-made bargain.
Hearing that the Governor was coming, the crowd fell silent, Lin Wanrong gave a look, and Side retreated with a group of nurses.
Luo Min got off the sedan chair with a big belly, pretended to look around seriously, and said with a straight face: "This official went out of the city to do business, passing by here, but saw people gathered here, what happened, why is this place so noisy?" β
"Xiaguan Tao Yu, I've seen Lord Shouxian." Tao Yu saw that the governor had come in person, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. He secretly colluded with Cheng De, but he also understood that this Luo Min was definitely not something that his little Suzhou weaving could offend.
"Hey, Master Tao, are you here too? When did you return from Suzhou? Why hasn't we heard from it? β
Luo Min said in an official tone. The official of the imperial court, without being dispatched by the constitution, left without permission, and the responsibility for the crime is not light, if Luo Min participates in a book, it is enough for Tao Yu to drink a pot of land.
Tao Yu hurriedly said respectfully: "Xiaguan returned to Jinling due to an urgent matter at home, due to the urgency of the situation, he had not had time to take leave, and was about to go to the adult's mansion to report, but he didn't expect to meet an adult here." β
Luo Min sighed and said, "I see." Master Tao has an urgent matter at home, which is also understandable, and the government will not pursue it. But what are these people gathered in front of your house today? β
"This, it's just some trivial matters among the people, and the lower officials have already taken care of it, and they don't dare to worry about it." Tao Yu said respectfully.
"What is a folk triviality? Master Tao said lightly. The eldest lady sneered, stepped forward slowly, and saluted Luo Min respectfully: "Xiao Yuruo, a folk girl, has seen Lord Luo, and asked your lord to be the master of my Xiao family, and give my Xiao family justice." β
Luo Min glanced at Tao Yu and said, "Why did Miss Xiao say this?" You are the descendant of Xiao Ge, who dares to bully you? I'm afraid there isn't some misunderstanding in the middle, right? β
Xiao Yuruo presented the note with both hands, and said respectfully: "This seal is personally mentioned by Lord Xu Wei, and the gambling contract is personally fair by Lord Xu, and Lord Xu also specially appointed the first rank of the palace to protect Lord Gao to come to Jinling to prove the matter." Please check carefully. β
Chief Gao hugged his fists and said: "Tell Lord Luo, this gambling contract was witnessed by Lord Xu with his own eyes, and I put pen to paper as proof, so I came here for this." β
Luo Min nodded, glanced at the seal, and exclaimed, "It's really Mr. Wen Chang who mentioned it himself." β
After reading the content of the note, he frowned, pulled Tao Yu to the side, and said softly: "Lord Tao, is this really Ling Lang's handprint?" β
Tao Yu gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes." β
Luo Min sighed: "Master Tao, it's not that I said you, it's just that Ling Lang was really reckless this time, how can this Tao family shop be easily used to gamble with others?" also signed a letter and painted a pledge, making it ironclad evidence? β
Tao Yu sighed heavily, Tao Dongcheng was shrewd and capable, and he had always reassured him in doing things, but why he fell to the Xiao family this time, he couldn't figure it out.
Luo Min continued to sell good: "Lord Tao, you and I are officials in the same province, and we have the friendship of subordinates, if it were on weekdays, I would definitely help you suppress this matter." But the bad thing is that Ling Lang provoked no one well, and he also provoked Lord Xu Wei. Even if I tore this note now, there is still Lord Xu Wei who knows. What kind of character Lord Xu is, you and I both know very well. To put it mildly, you and I together, it is not enough for Lord Xu to have the strength of a small finger, so how can I help you? β
Luo Min's small eyes narrowed, with a sad look, as if he was really thinking about the Tao family, Tao Yu was silent, depressed, both of them seemed to be worried, except for Lin Wanrong, how could anyone else see that these two people were in harmony and each was their master?
Luo Min whispered a few more words to Tao Yu, Tao Yu had a miserable face, glanced at the eldest lady, snorted violently, thought for a long time, and finally nodded ruthlessly.
Luo Min walked over and smiled at Xiao Yuruo: "Miss Xiao, there is some misunderstanding in this matter, and I have explained it clearly to Master Tao." Since it is Lord Xu Wei who personally guarantees it, there will definitely be no difference in the middle, Lord Tao has promised to transfer the Tao family cloth village to the Xiao family, and I hope that the eldest lady will keep in mind that Lord Tao teaches a good life and management, and don't let Lord Tao lose Beijing. β
"That being the case, Yuruo has thanked Lord Tao for his profound understanding of righteousness, and also thanked Lord Luo for his fairness and straightforwardness." The eldest lady said softly with a smile. Tao Yu snorted angrily and walked away.
Lin Wanrong secretly gave Luo Min a thumbs up to the old fox, Luo Min smiled and said home, he came specifically for this.
The next thing is much easier, Tao Yu has left, and the descendants of the Tao family will naturally not stay, and the real estate of the Tao family cloth village and the cloth are all owned by the Xiao family. According to Lin Wanrong's words, this time it is really developed. , marry a hundred wives, make a hundred clothes for each person, and this cloth will not be spent.
Inventory, inspection, receiving, the eldest lady is busy conscientiously, but Lin Wanrong is not interested in these trivial matters at all, Lao Tzu was born to be the chairman of the board, he looked at the figure of the eldest lady and smiled.
It's good to be busy, but he is uncomfortable, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the New Year will be in another month. After the New Year, she wants to go north to the capital to find Qingxuan, and the second lady can go to the capital to study together, but what should I do? Do you want to leave Na Nizi alone in Jinling? Isn't that my life?
When he was thinking about his thoughts, he had already arrived downstairs at Shiweixian, and Qiaoqiao's surprised voice came from upstairs: "Big brother, are you back?" β
