Chapter Eighty-Three: Asking for Help

Chu Ping did not delay the time to go back to class, and Tao Yao also had to return to Ziya Pavilion early.

It's just that the two of them made an appointment, and they went to the Chu family's nursing home together on this ten-day day to have a look, and Chu Ping would wait for Tao Yao outside the Purple Silk Pavilion at that time.

Tao Yao responded happily, and asked how many girls there were in the nursing home, and she could prepare the needlework, embroidery frame and plain cloth needed to teach embroidery in advance these days. When the time comes, you can go straight to teach them.

Moreover, Tao Yao also wanted to take Wu Yan with her, and her needlework was also excellent.

Seeing that Tao Yao thought so thoughtfully, Chu Ping answered them one by one, there were about twenty little girls, and then thanked them too.

Tao Yao and Chu Ping separated, took care of themselves and returned to the Purple Silk Pavilion, and instructed Tao Yi to go to the store in front of the Purple Silk Pavilion to buy thirty supas and embroidery frames, and the needlework was all in his house.

At night, Tao Yao and Wu Yan worked together to prop up the handkerchiefs one by one with embroidery frames, and the needles and threads were also worn, and thirty small portions were prepared.

Wu Yan hesitated slightly, in the past, when the peach went out, Wu Yan would make some needlework by herself in the house alone to sell for money. However, after all, she still has to focus on Tao Yao, she wants to take herself out, Wu Yan still nodded in response.

But I never thought that Tao Yao hadn't waited for the tenth day, but waited for Zhao Wanrong first.

Master Liu had just left, Tao Yao was still doing her own needlework in the embroidery pavilion, Wu Yan looked at the time, looking for the old routine to choose a meal for Tao Yao, and met the Qian family's little girl who was in a hurry to find Tao Yao, saying that their grandmother was back, and asked Miss Tao, it was inconvenient to go to Qian's house for a light meal at noon.

Wu Yan came back in response, whispering to Tao Yao and replying one by one.

Tao Yao often makes appointments with Zhao Wanrong in Tianxiang Building, but rarely goes to Zhao Wanrong's house, she is so anxious to come to her without waiting for the tenth day, presumably that matter is a little eyebrow-raising, but what kind of thing is it, she has to go over by herself?

Tao Yao thought for a while, and whispered to Wu Yan: "I'll go over, you can help me take a leave of absence." ”

Wu Yan looked at Tao Yao, who now had become commonplace to ask for leave, and could only nod her head.

It was just time to get out of school at noon, Tao Yao hurried back to her residence, changed her clothes and came out, Wu Yan had already ordered Tao Yi to catch the carriage and wait at the second gate.

Zheng Qiaoyan looked at Tao Yao, who was in a hurry today, but she only felt that her heart was empty for a while, didn't she accompany her to lunch every day at noon these days? Why didn't I explain today, so I left alone.

Tao Yi drove the carriage all the way to the Qian family's house in Hangzhou. Because it was purchased when Qian Yu came to Hangzhou to take care of Tianxianglou alone, it was very small, but it was a small courtyard with two entrances, with the master of the family living in the back and a few servants living in front.

Therefore, Zhao Wanrong does not often ask Tao Yao to come to her house as a guest, and every time she goes to Tianxianglou.

Tao Yao got off the carriage from the second gate, and walked only three or five steps inside, which is the main hall of the Qian family, and now Qian Yu and Zhao Wanrong are back, waiting in the main hall, and the meals are set up in the house, all of which are called back from Tianxianglou, and they are all dishes that Tao Yao likes.

Only the husband and wife were restless in the house, and often sent people out to see why Tao Yao hadn't come over yet.

As soon as Taoyao's carriage entered the courtyard, someone quickly came over and said that the peach girl was coming.

As soon as Tao Yao entered the courtyard, Zhao Wanrong was in a hurry to greet her, and Qian Yu also greeted her at the door, waiting eagerly.

Watching them fight like this made Tao Yao confused.

"What's going on?" Tao Yao couldn't help asking, "Why are you looking for me so urgently?" ”

Zhao Wanrong was about to speak, but was interrupted by Qian Yu, and asked them to go into the house to speak, and when the group entered the main hall, Qian Yu sent all the maids and daughters-in-law, and ordered his closest servants to guard the door, and no one was allowed to approach.

When the arrangements were made, Zhao Wanrong couldn't wait to pull Tao Yao and said, "Xiaoxiao, now only you can help us." ”

Tao Yao looked at Zhao Wanrong, who was holding her tightly, and only felt dazed: "Me? ”

"Yes!" Zhao Wanrong nodded again and again.

Tao Yao was puzzled: "How can I help with such a thing?" Didn't you go back to Suzhou and ask the old man of the Qian family for help? Where is he? ”

Zhao Wanrong said: "Qian Yu and his father refused to come forward, but he said that the Chu family can help, as long as they say a word, this matter can be settled." ”

Tao Yao was shocked when she heard this: "That Chu family? ”

Zhao Wanrong said: "And the Chu family? Of course, it's your Uncle Chu, Chu Ping's Chu family. ”

"How could his family have anything to do with smuggling?" Tao Yao almost screamed.

Qian Yu on the side looked at Zhao Wanrong for a while, and she couldn't figure out what she said, so she had to step forward and say to Tao Yao: "Miss Peach, if we have no last resort, we won't rush to ask for each other."

According to my father, most of the smuggling in the Great Zhou Dynasty now went to sea from Panyu, and the only one who could have such a big fortune to do such a thing was the Panyu Chu family. This Panyu Chu family from the Xuan Dynasty Huijing years, is to make a fortune in the ship, the Xuan Dynasty shipping heyday, to the South and Western Oceans, with the Chu family's ships, now half of the Great Zhou Dynasty ships are also from the hands of the Panyu Chu family. ”

"What do you mean?" Tao Yao looked at Qian Yu in disbelief.

I only heard him say slowly: "The Chu family in Hangzhou and the Chu family in Panyu are originally one family, so the rudder of their smuggling is not placed in the more prosperous Suzhou, but in Hangzhou." ”

"Impossible! It is impossible for the Chu family to have anything to do with smuggling. Tao Yao subconsciously retorted.

Looking at Tao Yao's appearance as if she was shocked, Zhao Wanrong just wanted to speak, but she stopped, she was very happy when she heard the news, she only asked Tao Yao, and then went to Chu Ping for help, but she never thought about what a big blow such a thing would be to Tao Yao.

If she knew that the Chu family was involved in such a thrilling thing as smuggling, would she not continue to associate with the Chu family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wanrong didn't say much, only Qian Yu thought for a while, and then said to Tao Yao: "The girl doesn't have to worry, I just want to invite the girl to invite the uncle of the Chu family to the Qian family for a gathering." Let's talk to him about it. ”

It took a long time for Tao Yao to come back to her senses, and looking at the way the two of them regarded themselves as life-saving straws, she nodded after all.

Zhao Wanrong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Can you invite him over tonight?" ”

Tao Yao's heart was very confused, and it took a long time before she said: "You let me think about it first, if it works, I will send someone to give you an answer." ”

"Okay, thank you very much." Zhao Wanrong and Qian Yu got up together to thank her, and invited her to eat together.

Tao Yao only felt that she had no appetite at all, so she ate two bites and got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Tao Yao looked at Qian Yu and said seriously: "Qian Yu, you know that this is not trivial, and the Qian family never wants to make extraneous branches, if the Chu family can't help, but I will rashly inform this matter, the Qian family will also be in danger."

Let me ask again, you have found the evidence and checked it clearly, can the Chu family really speak and help? ”

Qian Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Wanrong and I worked hard to knock on the door of the Qian family. I'm willing to give it a try. ”

Tao Yao's heart sank to the bottom: "Okay, then you wait, I'll go and invite him for you." ”
