Tao Yao pursed her lips, after all, she still didn't talk about such a thing easily, and only said: "Sister Yu didn't mention me last time, but now you have to keep your eyes open and see their family clearly." If it's convenient, please ask Sister Yu to ask her brother-in-law to help you pay attention to their business. ”

Seeing that Tao Yao didn't seem to want to talk more, Tao Yu didn't force it, just nodded in response: "Okay, we'll help you pay attention, but, Xiao Yao, no matter what happens, you have to inform us as soon as possible, and we'll do our best to help you." ”

Tao Yao now listens to Tao Yu's sincere words, but her heart can't be warmer, and last time she was afraid that she was a gentleman with the heart of a villain: "Yes, thank you Sister Yu." ”

It's just that the fact of smuggling is too much involved, and Tao Yao should also go down to Zhao Wanrong, so naturally she didn't dare to announce it easily, so she just sat down at Chen's house, and then got up and said goodbye.

Tao Yao saw that it was still early, and hesitated to go back to Ziya Pavilion to ask Liu Yunjin if she knew about the situation of the Chu family, but after thinking about it again and again, she knew that Master Liu was too smart, if she asked rashly, she would inevitably be suspicious, and she had to think of a good rhetoric so as not to leak the Qian family and the Chu family's smuggling-related matters.

Tao Yao finally held back, and only said to Tao Yi: "Let's go back to the door of Lu Yue Library and wait." ”

Wait for him to get out of school.

Tao Yao never felt that the days would be so long.

A few days ago, these things were still other people's affairs, although Tao Yao felt tricky and worried about them, but he could still be busy, come out to meet Chu Ping, boating on the lake, and transcendent.

But now, if she hadn't been emotionally attached to Chu Ping, she might have been glad to have learned the news, and she might have seen through it in advance. But she already had a good impression of Chu Ping, and when she suddenly learned about it, she only felt like a blunt knife cutting flesh and a fish in her throat.

Chu Ping couldn't have imagined that Tao Yao would be waiting for him at the door of the library, originally he only looked at the carriage at the door and was familiar, but when he saw Tao Yi sitting bored on the ground at the base of the wall, he was sure that it was Tao Yao's carriage.

He rode over happily and asked, "Why is Miss Peach here?" ”

Tao Yao opened the curtain indifferently and said to Chu Ping: "Can Master Chu take a step to speak." ”

It's time to get out of school, and it's a place where people come and go, and it's really not a place to talk.

Chu Ping didn't think much about it, just nodded in response.

Taoyi asked, "Girl, where are we going?" ”

Tao Yao pondered for a moment: "Go to the West Lake for a walk." ”

Chu Ping rode a horse and slowly followed, he never thought that Tao Yao would lead him to visit the West Lake.

Now in the spring of March, the weeping willows by the West Lake have already sprouted new branches, and the tender green willow leaves flutter in the wind, making them more and more charming and moving in the sunset.

Because it was dinner time, there were not many people by the West Lake, so Tao Yao told Tao Yi to find an empty place with few people and stop the carriage.

Tao Yi responded, found a wide place and parked the carriage.

Tao Yao got out of the car slowly, looking at the distant mountains and near the water, lying in the sun, dyeing the Leifeng Pagoda with a golden color.

In the distance, the wild geese returned to the north, forming pairs, which reminded Tao Yaofu of the joy and joy when he was boating on the lake with him that day, drinking and playing the piano, and there were ripples in his heart.

Chu Ping also stopped his horse and stepped forward, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh: "The scenery here is beautiful." ”

Tao Yao only turned her head to Tao Yi and said, "Uncle Xiao Yi, you go to a distance to guard, be vigilant, if anyone approaches, let me know." ”

"Hey." Although Tao Yi didn't know why, looking at Tao Yao's cold look, he still nodded and answered.

When Chu Ping heard this, he couldn't help but ask a doubt he had all along: "Is this your coachman?" Or are you a relative? ”

Tao Yao didn't answer him, just waited for Tao Yi to go away, then turned to face him, raised his head, and looked at his eyes seriously: "Master Chu, I have something to ask, and I ask Gongzi to tell him frankly." ”

Seeing Tao Yao doing this, the smiling look on Chu Ping's face also retracted: "Girl, excuse me, Chu Ping must know everything." ”

Tao Yao said: "What kind of business is the Chu family doing?" Can you get involved in something that violates the laws of the imperial court? ”

Chu Ping didn't expect Tao Yao to ask such a thing, so he hurriedly said: "The Chu family is in the business of cloth and clothing, and has never done anything like committing a traitor, and has never even deducted the wages of workers, why did the girl ask like this." ”

Tao Yao raised her head and stared at Chu Ping and said, "So does the Chu family have a business in Panyu?" What is the relationship between the Hangzhou Chu family and the Panyu Chu family? ”

Chu Ping looked at the aggressive Tao Yao, and frowned: "The Chu family has a shop in Hangzhou, but I have never been to Panyu, and I don't know what Panyu Chu's family is." ”

Tao Yao asked, "Then where is your great-grandfather's ancestral home?" ”

Chu Ping frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't know." It should be the ancestral home of Hangzhou, and our family has been in Hangzhou for generations. ”

"Since I have been in Hangzhou for generations, why do you want to go to Panyu to open a shop?" Tao Yao continued to ask.

Chu Ping said: "These are all shops left by our ancestors, just like our family has shops in addition to Panyu, in Beijing and Tianjin." ”

Tao Yao said: "The business is bigger, and it is common to have shops in Tianjin and Beijing, but why do you also have them in Panyu?" ”

Chu Ping only felt inexplicable, and frowned: "I don't know, this shop has been there since my grandfather's time." I guess it was because of something in the first place. What exactly did the girl want to ask? ”

Tao Yao looked at Chu Ping and continued: "The Qian family of Tianxianglou has been in trouble recently, and they want to ask Gongzi Chu for help. ”

Chu Ping didn't know why Tao Yao's eyes were all indifferent and alienated, was he afraid that he would not help like Wu Yan last time?

Chu Ping said softly: "What's the busy? If I can help, I will. ”

Tao Yao looked at Chu Ping in front of him, and originally made up his mind to question him and draw a line with him, but he looked at himself so sincerely and talked to himself gently, Tao Yao couldn't give up after all.

It's not that she hasn't gotten along with Chu Ping, and it's really hard to believe that their family is a big traitor.

Tao Yao avoided his eyes, turned his head to look at the scenery of West Lake, and said ruthlessly: "They are involved in a big trouble, and they have something to do with a group of people who specialize in smuggling in the open sea. ”

Chu Ping was surprised: "Smuggling? How could they be involved with such a person? ”

Tao Yao turned her head to look at Chu Ping and said calmly: "All kinds of internal affairs are complicated, and I can't say it clearly in three or two sentences." However, the Qian family was impatient to find me and told me that only the Chu family of Gongzi Chu could help with this matter. ”

Chu Ping felt even more unbelievable when he heard this: "With such a thing, why do they think that our Chu family can help?" What do they want us to help? ”
