Ying Xue smiled at this time and said: "Girl, Madame counted the time to let the maids make the sour plum soup, just so that the girl and the second young master of the prince can quench their thirst when they come back, but I didn't expect you to come back a little late, this sour plum soup has been chilled for a long time......"

Brother Tao and Brother Luo also finished drinking the sour plum soup in the bowl at this time and were putting the bowl down.

Hearing Yingxue say this, Brother Luo said: "Father, mother, we came back a little late today, and there is a reason for that!" ”

"Oh?" Wei Fu raised an eyebrow.

She originally thought that the three brothers and sisters of Brother Tao had just stayed in Bofu for a while, but now it seems that this is not the case?

Sister Tian said: "It's all the eldest brother who delayed the time!" ”

Brother Tao?

Wei Fu couldn't help but look at Brother Tao.

Later, listening to Sister Tian talk about what happened, she knew what happened.

Brother Tao and the three of them stayed in Bofu for most of the day, about Shenzheng, and after the hottest time in the afternoon, the three of them said goodbye to the Qin family and the Zhou family and prepared to return home.

On the way, though, they were delayed for a while.

“…… Ning Xu from the Marquis Mansion of Runan, I don't know why, he actually blocked the way of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother got off the horse and talked to him for a while, if it weren't for this, we wouldn't have come back so late. Sister Tian said, "That Ning Xu is also a little strange, his daughter-in-law is gone, he doesn't handle the funeral at home, but he came to find the eldest brother, a completely irrelevant person, what does he want to do?" ”

As she spoke, Sister Tian looked at Brother Tao with a puzzled expression.

For what Ning Xu and Brother Tao said, Sister Tian was very curious, but on the way she took a carriage, Brother Tao and Brother Luo rode horses, she didn't have a chance to ask well, she held back this way, and now she can't help but ask.

Brother Tao smiled lightly when he heard this, and reached out to stroke Sister Tian'er's head: "I have met Ning Xu a few times before, but I just said hello. ”

Nothing else is said again.

But Sister Tian was not persuaded by Brother Tao'er's words, she pouted: "Big brother, I'm not a three-year-old child, do you think you can fool me by making up any reason?" How can anyone say hello and need to avoid people, and say that it is a long time? ”

Brother Luo said next to him at this time: "Sister Tian, don't you see that the eldest brother doesn't want to talk to you?" I don't want to think about it, but if the eldest brother doesn't want to say something, when did you ask about it? ”

Sister Sweet was stunned.

Then, she thought about it, and it really was.

Brother Tao has always talked little, and he usually can't say a few words a day, let alone something he doesn't want to say.

So he looked at Brother Tao with a pout.

When Wei Fu saw this, he smiled and said, "Sister Tian, your eldest brother has always known the importance of it, since he didn't tell you, he naturally has his reasons." ”

Sister Tian dispelled the idea of continuing to ask.

Wei Fu and Jiang Heng also didn't want to ask Brother Tao for a clear meaning, the family sat together and talked for a while, and then it was dinner time, and after the lively dinner, the three children left one after another.

But......

After only a while, Yingxue came in again: "Grandpa Guo, madam, the prince is here." ”

Wei Fu and Jiang Heng were both a little surprised.

"Let Brother Tao come in." Wei Fu said.

After a while, Brother Tao entered the house, and then glanced at Yingxue's maids, Yingxue and the others looked at Wei Fu like a request, and got Wei Fu's nod, and then they retreated.

Wei Fu looked at Brother Tao and said, "Brother Tao, are you doing it for Ning Xu?" ”

Brother Tao stayed in the Bofu for most of the day, and knew from Brother Luo and Sister Tian that nothing strange happened in the Bofu, so the only thing that could make Brother Tao go and return was Ning Xu stopping him halfway.

When Brother Tao heard this, he nodded as expected.

"That Ning Xu......" Brother Tao couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows when he started talking, but in the end, he still couldn't get used to it, and continued to speak.

The reason why Ning Xu stopped Tao Ge'er was to ask Tao Ge'er for help.

Even, it can be said that Ning Xu is surrendering to Tao Ge'er.

In this regard, Tao Ge'er actually has doubts.

He said to Sister Tian that he had met Ning Xu a few times before, which was true, but he had only met, and he didn't even say a word, at most he just nodded to each other.

In such a situation, Ning Xu would actually ask himself for help, and Brother Tao was really a little puzzled.

“…… He probably couldn't suppress his wife's breath of being forced to die, and he wanted revenge, so he rushed to the hospital in a hurry. Tao Ge'er said.

Tao Ge'er can only come to this conclusion.

Wei Fu and Jiang Heng glanced at each other.

That Ning Xu is not a stupid person, just look at how he can stand out under the suppression of Mrs. Runan Hou, and he can also be the companion of the five princes, you can know this.

On that day, Ning Xu also went to Daxiangguo Temple with the five princes, what happened at that time, I am afraid that Ning Xu guessed some, he would come to stop Tao Ge'er's horse, was it because he wanted to borrow Tao Ge'er's hand to take revenge on the county lord of Fu'an, or because he guessed the deeper truth of his wife's death?

Wei Fu and Jiang Heng had no way to judge this at this time.

"Brother Tao, what do you mean, do you want to help Ning Xu?" Wei Fu asked.

Brother Tao wrinkled his brows and thought for a while before he said, "If you can, I want to help him." ”

Wei Fu looked at Jiang Heng, and the two nodded at the same time.

Then, Wei Fu said, "Brother Tao, why do you want to help him? ”

Tao Ge'er didn't hide it, and said his thoughts in the most concise language: "I want my own manpower." ”

Since Jiang Heng came back, Tao Ge'er followed Jiang Heng to study together, Jiang Heng allocated some manpower for Tao Ge'er to call, Tao Ge'er is the son of the Zhenguo Mansion, and he will be the lord in the future, so naturally he can't do without a few people.

These are actually what Jiang Heng should have done a long time ago, but because of the changes that happened to Wei Fu a few years ago, he had no intention of dealing with these things.

Now that Wei Fu is back, and he has also returned to Beijing, he naturally can't ignore these anymore.

Therefore, each of the people that Jiang Heng allocated to Tao Ge'er was a good hand.

After these people were assigned to Brother Tao, they naturally regarded Brother Tao as the main thing wholeheartedly, but if Brother Tao had any orders, they would be absolutely obedient and would complete them as quickly as possible.

But......

Tao Ge'er still wants to collect the manpower himself.

It's not that he doesn't trust these people that Jiang Heng has brought over, he just wants a few people he picked up by himself.
