Chapter 50: Tao Qianqian
The Tao family is considered a family industry, brothers, relatives and friends, the family moved to Anyi, a total of more than 100 people, so Tao Chengxin bought three houses connected in the suburbs of the main city, and opened up everywhere to form a large-scale city government of the Tao family. Relatives and friends at all levels living in separate courtyards are also a happy scene.
Tao Chengxin is the eldest son of the big house, the grandson of the grandson, and naturally takes on the responsibility of the Tao family. He also has some talents, so the business is also maintained decently, which can be described as thriving. The only regret is that there are no children under the knees. The wives and concubines in the two rooms were all born to female babies. Liu's is the right wife, good looks, graceful figure, his daughter was born in the Qingming Dynasty, there are poems: [Flea is a sad spring dream rainy day, but the grass is more Qianqian], so named Qianqian. Three years later, the concubine He, is a small family jasper, I hope to add a son to inherit the family business, but unfortunately it is still a female baby, I only hope that the little girl is also as slim as her mother, and she is named Tingting with the meaning of [Tingting Lotus Leaf Hao Qingtang].
Fortunately, a pair of daughters were well-behaved and clever, which won Tao Chengxin's favor, so Tao Chengxin also left the regret of having no children behind, wholeheartedly cultivated two female babies, and invited a few gentlemen to teach Xi. I don't want to be able to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, so I am familiar with poetry and calligraphy, and I also know a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I will not be neglected and despised in my mother-in-law's house in the future. Among the two daughters, Tao Chengxin dotes on Tao Qianqian more, and occasionally takes her with her on business trips, and this time he also brought her to the Chen family to celebrate her birthday.
The maid got out of the carriage first, and the main lord appeared belatedly. Tao Qianqian took the maid and calmly got out of the car. Rao is summer solstice who has seen a lot of bewitching women can't help but light up, this can be called a heavenly immortal.
Tao Qianqian was born with smooth muscles and bones, and her demeanor was elegant. The lips are red without dotting, and the eyebrows are green without melting. The face is like a silver plate, the eyes are like apricots, the skin is like clotted fat, the feeling of pearl and jade is moist, the summer solstice looks greedy, if you have the opportunity to get started, I really want to have a good **. A pair of jet-black hair hangs down from her waist, her hair is chic and chic, and her slowly squeezed cloud temples are filled with amethyst moon-deficient magnolia hairpins, and there are exquisite and transparent strings hanging on her neck. Dressed in a green yellow Confucian skirt, the skirt is light and flexible. The upper body is honey-colored feather weaving, covered with a stone blue carved silk gray squirrel cloak, tied with a big red ribbon, and the figure is dignified and charming.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh, this is the standard model of everyone's girlfriends, and then look down at yourself, from the image to the temperament is not a star and a half, and sure enough, in response to the old saying, people have to die than people, and goods have to be thrown away. Xia Zhi did not forget to pay attention to Chen Huan's expression while having low self-esteem.
Chen Huan looked at Tao Qianqian's gaze, as gentle as the warm sunlight in autumn, making people want to melt in that pool of autumn water. However, his concentration did not stay for long, if it wasn't for Xia Zhi's special attention, this detail would be fleeting, and he couldn't even catch the tail.
Tao Qianqian saluted Chen Heng with a shy smile, looking at it from a distance, it was a pair of talented and beautiful women made in heaven, and there was no room for a third party to intervene.
The group walked to the front hall of the main courtyard. After entering the foyer, Master Chen stood up and greeted him, [Brother Tao, you are here, the journey has been smooth. The two families have really known each other for many years, Master Chen and Tao Chengxin are polite, and Mrs. Chen enthusiastically took Tao Qianqian's hand to her and praised it, [Qianqian looks better and better, she is a big girl. 】
Mrs. Chen noticed the existence of Xia Zhi, her eyes instantly became fierce and abnormal, and she glared at her fiercely. I really want to have a seizure, but for the sake of face, I ignore this person for the time being. The summer solstice is at ease, and when others are regarded as a thorn in the flesh but helpless, it is the happiest mood.
After a greeting session, he sat down directly, and Xia Zhi still sat next to Chen Huan. Mrs. Chen pulled Tao Qianqian to sit next to her, which was Chen Heng's position in the past. Tao Chengxin looked at the same table as Xia Zhi, and asked directly with a smile, [This girl is a student, may I ask what ......]
Mrs. Chen snorted inaudibly, and Chen Huan introduced frankly, [Her name is Xia Zhi, and she is the newly accepted concubine of the little nephew. 】
[Ah......] Tao Chengxin sighed, I don't know what kind of idea he has, [Ah Huan's vision is okay, she is a good girl. 】
[Master Xie Tao praised. Summer Solstice got up and saluted back.
Mrs. Chen's eyes were about to burst into flames, how could she become a concubine before she approved it, at best, she was just a tool for fun, and she was still ranked. couldn't bear to scold, [She didn't know the rules when she first arrived, Ah Huan, you should always know. Your Uncle Tao and Qianqian are distinguished guests, in case she loses her manners, it will be bad! 】
[The summer solstice is indeed the first to come, and there are many places to learn. What courtesy did you lose just now, and I forgot Mrs. to guide me, so that I can make a new difference. Xia Zhi bowed his head and lowered his hands in obedience, and his tone was also very respectful.
【You...... If you really know the number of rites, you should stay in the bamboo garden. Mrs. Chen shook her hands and counted, this person actually dared to ask directly, this is not at all in her eyes as the hostess of the Chen family.
Xia Zhi looked at Chen Huan aggrievedly, [Young Master Huan, should I go back or stay? 】
[There is a mistake and the same punishment, it was I who said that I would bring you over to pick up Uncle Tao and them, since my mother said so, then please allow me and Xia Zhi to retire first and go back to the West Courtyard to reflect. Chen Huan had a serious expression on his face, and he really planned to get up and leave.
......Mrs. Chen's hands trembled even more severely when she was blocked by these words, and the jingle of the jade bracelet and Jin Chuan on her hand collided with each other, which was very appropriate.
[Okay, let's sit down and have a good meal when we all come, and make more trouble for Brother Tao to see jokes. In the end, it was Master Chen's words that worked, as long as he spoke out and subdued Mrs. Chen for a second. It's just that the time limit of the uniform is too short, and it will continue to make trouble next time.
Tao Chengxin watched the whole process happily, and waited for the riot to subside before answering, [How is it a joke, the family is so lively. 】
This time, the farce ended in a hurry, and the atmosphere was lively and lively after a few cups and glasses, mostly chatting about some interesting things in life, even dating back to Chen Huan's childhood. It turns out that the two families used to come and go more frequently, and the children of the two families were close in age, and there were many opportunities to play games together, which can be reluctantly called childhood sweethearts.
When I was a child, I never got tired of playing the game of pretending to be the bride and groom, and every time Chen Heng and Tao Qianqian played the protagonists, Chen Huan and Tao Tingting acted as etiquette and guests, so the two families also had a wedding banquet, saying that they wanted to kiss each other. However, as I get older, the number of times this joke is mentioned gradually decreases, even if Mrs. Chen intends to mention it, Tao Chengxin just makes a perfunctory call.
Mrs. Chen thought that the other party was afraid that this joke would affect the reputation of her daughter's family, so she planned to wait for another two years to officially propose the family affair and let Tao Qianqian marry into their Chen family, which must be a very satisfactory daughter-in-law.
