The medicine merchant Tao's house is located in Wenyuan Lane in the south of Xiangxi City.

In this alley, most of the people who live are scholars, looking inside at the black eaves and green tile wooden doors and bamboo windows, closing their eyes and lingering in their noses.

It is very discordant, but on the west side of Wenchang Lane, there is a big mansion piled with gold and jade, and the two stone lions at the door are glaring angrily, making people retreat.

This house is the medicine merchant Tao Mansion.

After the Tao family made a fortune, Tao Jiang's grandfather Tao Yongjin did not hesitate to choose a feng shui auspicious house where his descendants would continue to shine in the court.

As soon as the tooth man saw the big business of Tao Mansion coming to the door, he panicked and introduced the Sajin Street, where Xiangxi merchants habitually lived.

The road here is wide, the traffic is convenient, and more importantly, it is directly connected to the east and west markets, and it is extremely convenient to go to and from the shops on weekdays.

But no matter how the tooth man introduced, Tao Yongjin looked unfathomable, took a sip of tea, and shook his head again.

Not satisfied, but don't say why you're not satisfied.

In the end, it was an old merchant who watched the Tao family's fortune told the tooth man about the doorway, and the tooth man quickly put away the house on Sajin Street, and took out the picture of the house in Wenyuan Lane, where the literati lived--

Tao Yongjin smiled at this time, and pointed to a five-entry house at the end of the alley with small bridges, flowing water, willow trees and peach forests--

No matter how much it is, I want this house!

The tooth man suddenly realized--

Although Tao Yongjin started as a merchant, he was a vassal and elegant person, with a copper smell, but he also wanted to elevate his style among the literati of poetry, calligraphy and painting.

This point is better than Cheng Dashan, who claims to be the thirteen young people of Xiangxi.

As soon as Tao Jiang's carriage turned into Wenyuan Lane, he saw dozens of people standing in two rows, from the end of the alley to the end of the alley.

Out of nowhere, there was a "rise", and the little guys on one side opened the gong in unison, one gong and three drums, the sound shook the sky, and then shouted in unison:

"Congratulations to the eldest lady of the Tao family for winning the position of chief merchant!"

I saw the little guy on the other side turned into a brocade dragon, churning and dancing in the already not spacious alley, accompanied by gongs and drums, the dragon went out to sea for a while, and the dragon soared into the sky for a while......

is so noisy, you don't have to think about it to know that the one who can come up with this idea must be the original grandfather who values face more than anything else - Tao Yongjin.

Tao Jiang silently put down the hand he wanted to open the curtain and looked at the man in the carriage for two seconds.

Xu is coachman was in a hurry to ask for a reward, and after a while, the carriage arrived at the gate of Taofu--

Today's battle to welcome Tao Jiang was much more solemn than on the first day.

Standing in the middle of the crowd is Tao Yongjin, the head of the Tao family.

He was wearing a purple gold silk moire brocade robe today, the evening breeze was protruding, and when he went out, he ordered someone to find a white mink jacket with a Buddha head carved for himself, and he looked at his wealth.

Although Tao Yongjin is already a grandfather's generation, and he has a full house of children and grandchildren, he gave birth to a fresh and handsome good skin when he was young, and he is well maintained after his hair, and now he looks like he is in his early forties at most.

He stood among a group of women and children in the Tao family, who were red and green, and he looked even more extraordinary and graceful.

Tao Jiang had just gotten off the carriage, and his hands were held by Tao Yongjin.

My grandfather was usually a strict person, and his long-term tense face made the corners of his inner eyes bend down very much, like the beak of a bird of prey.

At this time, her face retreated a little solemnly, and she was more gentle, and the hand holding Tao Jiang was filled with sticky sweat because of excitement, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

"Sanniang! Well done! Well done! is worthy of my granddaughter who was trained by Tao Yongjin, this is a strategy that is on par with my grandfather when he was young! ”

The unashamed words made the mothers-in-law and maids behind them couldn't help but hide their faces and laugh--

Who doesn't know that as soon as Tao Yongjin heard that the Gu family had taken away all the beads today, he was furious at home, angrily scolding Tao Jiang for being a woman who could not achieve a great career, and even Yuezhou white porcelain fell several times.

At this moment, seeing Tao Jiang recovering the game and winning back the position of the general businessman, he immediately changed his face, claiming that Tao Jiang had such a result because of his training.

However, Tao Yongjin's style of "useful is the Tao family, useless do not enter the Tao family", who will know better than Tao Jiang?

In the book, he was left by Gu Jiahe and had nowhere to go, and he wanted to return to Taofu to live for a while, but his grandfather ordered people to close the door tightly, and threatened to expel anyone who dared to open the door from Taofu.

Married to the Du family of Anbo Mansion for the second time, he was tortured by Princess Hehuan to the point that he was not a human or a ghost, and finally escaped to seek rescue from his grandfather, but he kicked him in the center and spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

The original body will never forget until he dies, that day, his grandfather was supported by his second aunt Gu Xiaomei, his eyes were cold, and even his voice was like the voice of hell:

"You useless slutty girl, you have nothing to do with my Tao family from now on! You are like your father in this life, like a mud stain on our Tao family! ”

"Tomorrow I will enter the ancestral hall and expel your longfang lineage from the family tree, as well as your father who died on a woman's belly, his tablet is not worthy of staying in my Taofu ancestral hall, tomorrow I will have someone send it to you!"

On the second day, Tao Yongjin really ordered someone to send the tablet of his eldest son Tao Changqing to Du Mansion.

However, the original body did not see it - because at that time, she was imprisoned in the firewood room by the Dufu people called by her grandfather, and Princess Hehuan was ordering someone to sew her eyes with cotton thread!

As for his father's tablet, he was thrown into a muddy field by the Du Fu servant with great disgust.

In this way, a wisp of my father's soul was scorched by the scorching sun, blown by the cold wind, trampled by the horse's hooves, and treated as a shameless joke......

Who knows the pain of being abandoned by his grandfather better than the original?

Now his grandfather is more smiling and affectionate than Spring, but he is still useful to the Tao family, and he has earned him a little thin noodles.

And face, for Tao Yongjin, is more important than anything else.

Tao Jiang experienced the memory of the original body at this time, and her mood was extremely heavy, but she understood that Tao Yongjin was still in charge of the Tao Mansion now, and now was not the time to offend him, after all, there was a second aunt Gu waiting for her to clean up first.

Thinking of this, Tao Jiang took out his slightly cool hands and said a blessing to his grandfather:

"It's really fortunate that my grandfather taught me the way of business, so Jiang Er can narrowly defeat the Gu family, but I don't know if I win Gu Chonglou, will the second aunt be unhappy?"

Tao Jiang looked sincere, cherished green tea, and asked sincerely.

Gu Xiaomei was standing behind Tao Yongjin, supporting him weakly, and was despising the hypocrisy of the ancestors and grandchildren in his heart, but the words suddenly led to him, and he hurriedly piled up a smile on his face:

"What are you talking about, girl! You win glory for our Tao Mansion, how can the second aunt be unhappy? We are a family, one is prosperous and one is lost. ”

Tao Yongjin was very comfortable in his heart. Seeing that the head of the family's face eased, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Xiaomei's mind is exquisite, and her mouth is even more like a lotus at the root of her tongue, she is very experienced in the face of such a scene.

"Is that really the case?"

But seeing Tao Jiang's face of disbelief, he dragged the tail note for a long time, and aimed the spearhead behind Gu's back:

"Then why does the fourth sister look so unhappy?"
