Chapter 057: Staying, There is a price to pay
Under the candlelight, Chu Wulang asked people to find the list of marriageable men in Kyoto City as quickly as possible, but they had not yet been married, the time was limited, and Chu Golang's conditions were a little harsh, and only three people were selected for his list.
"Xie Lan?"
Tao Yaoyao took the list, and when she saw that the first page was this name, she almost immediately flipped to the next one.
"Xiao Shuo, the son of Pingnan Hou, the current Shaoqing of Dali Temple, twenty-two years old, in the early years, the family had told him a family matter, but his fiancΓ©e died of illness before getting married, and then he also said family affairs, but it is rumored that his life is hard, and those families who feel sorry for their daughters are unwilling to marry him as soon as they hear this rumor."
Chu Wulang had a good relationship with Xiao Shuo, and knew that these rumors were not true, so he was included in the list of candidates for Tao Yaoyao's selection.
In his opinion, her sister is worthy of the best Erlang in the world, but he is not at ease with people he doesn't know.
Xiao Shuo has a good relationship with him, and if they can succeed in the future, he can rest assured even if he goes to the border.
Of course, the marriage is Tao Yao, and he listens to her in the end.
"The last one is called Xie Fei, is the cousin of the king of Dingbei, the two are one year apart, but the temperament of the two is very different, Xie Fei is a famous gentleman in Kyoto City.
Of course, he is also very good-looking, and he is the first choice of women in the boudoir of Kyoto City.
It's a pity that Xie Fei is dedicated to fame, and how many matchmakers who went to Xie's house to say goodbye were invited out by him, by the way, I heard the housekeeper say that the fifth princess seems to be interested in Xie Fei. β
The original owner rarely went out in the past, so he didn't have much impression of these two people, but if Chu Wulang could say that it was good, he should be able to consider it.
The hour is not early, she plans to go back to the house first, and then find a way to meet these two people tomorrow.
"Xie Fei's side, you only need to stand at the gate of the Hanlin Courtyard and wait at the hour to see it. As for Xiao Shuo, he has recently had a headache about the cattle theft case in Baijia Village, and you can see him when you go to Baijia Village. β
Chu Wulang originally wanted to leave him at the Chu family to rest for one night, but Tao Yaoyao was still worried about Tao Shi'an's itchy body, so he refused his kindness, and under the moonlight, he swayed back to Tao's house in a carriage.
"Master, the eldest lady is finally back."
The butler's voice was full of relaxation and happiness, God knows what they would have to face if the eldest lady didn't come back.
Tao Yaoyao knew Tao Shi'an's temperament, and he didn't twist it, and followed his subordinates directly to his yard.
At this time, Tao Shi'an was red and swollen, and some serious places were even bloody, but fortunately, he still knew that he wanted to have a face, and he had a hot towel on his face, so he didn't scratch it much, and the situation was better, otherwise Tao Yaoyao was really afraid that he would be scared to death.
"You rebel ......"
Tao Shi'an has never suffered this kind of crime since he was a child, but now he was almost lost half of his life by his biological daughter, he really has the heart to kill.
And this dead girl knows that he is still suffering at home, but she has been running outside like crazy until now and has not come back, she just wants him to die.
"Why did Lao Tzu raise you such a harmful spirit, hurry up and hand over the antidote to me, don't let me see you again in the future."
"Tao Shi'an, listen to what you said."
Tao Yaoyao originally took out the antidote, but after hearing Tao Shi'an's unrepentant threat, he sneered and picked up the porcelain bottle and fell to the ground in front of him.
The porcelain bottle shattered instantly, and then the medicinal powder inside spilled on the ground.
After Tao Yaoyao looked down and saw this scene, instead of being anxious, he reminded with a smile, "There are only these antidotes, if Dad doesn't hurry up to pick them up, I'm afraid that I will have to hold on until tomorrow morning." β
After speaking, Tao Yaoyao turned around and left the main courtyard.
"Unfilial girl, you unfilial thing, you give me back......"
Tao Yaoyao walked out for a long distance and could still hear Tao Shi'an's cursing, it seems that the lesson this time is still not enough, but it doesn't matter, there will be opportunities in the future.
The grievances that the original owner has received in this family over the years, she will find them back from these people little by little.
"Tao Yaoyao, Miss Ben ordered you to go to the palace immediately to ask Your Majesty for your guilt, and then tell him that you regret renouncing the marriage." Tao Yanyan suddenly ran out of the bushes next to him.
After blocking her way, he said angrily.
Tao Yaoyao glanced at her like a fool, and then bypassed her and prepared to leave, Tao Yanyan saw this, and immediately rushed over to stop her again.
"I'm talking to you, you're deaf?"
Tao Yaoyao's patience was exhausted, and he looked at her with a smile, "Why, the scorpion that day didn't scare you yet?" β
Tao Yanyan finally forgot about that incident, but she didn't expect her to mention it again, the angry Tao Yanyan stretched out his hand to ask for an adult, Tao Yaoyao was not used to her, pushed her away, and then warned in a cold voice, "If you don't want to stay awake all night, stay away from me, otherwise...... What your father received today, I can try it on you. β
"Don't." When Tao Yanyan heard this, he was immediately stunned.
Tao Yaoyao didn't bother to look at her, turned around and went back to his yard from the other side.
Qiu Gui had been waiting for her in the yard, and after hearing the movement, she hurriedly ran to the door to pick her up, "Miss, you are finally back, the master has sent people to come many times, Miss, the poisonous ...... on the master's body"
"Don't worry, I've given him the antidote."
After a busy day, Tao Yaoyao was also tired, she fell asleep after a simple grooming, had a good night's sleep, and the next day had breakfast, she took a carriage to the gate of the Hanlin Academy.
The carriage lived in the corner opposite the Hanlin Courtyard, Tao Yaoyao sat in the carriage and didn't let the coachman go, and he didn't get out of the carriage, Qiu Gui was curious when he saw this, "Miss, are we waiting for someone?" β
"Yes." Tao Yaoyao suddenly remembered that she didn't know Xie Fei, so she asked Qiu Gui, "Have you seen Xie Fei, Lord Xie?" β
"Yes." When Qiu Gui came out to buy before, she saw Lord Xie playing horses and parading the streets, even though it had been two years since this incident, she was still excited when she talked about it now.
"Master Xie looks like Pan An, and his character is also excellent, in short, the slave has never seen anyone better than him."
Didn't we just meet each other? Why do you think you're the best?
The worship of the little girl's family is really all face-looking.
While the two were talking, not far away came a man wearing the official mansion of a Hanlin Bachelor, but his appearance was extremely amazing, this person was somewhat similar to Xie Lan, so Tao Yaoyao didn't need Qiu Gui's reminder to determine the identity of this person at all.
"He is really good-looking, and he is gentle." It's that there is an indescribable exclusivity in him.
It's strange, he obviously looks very gentle, but why does he give people such an illusion, it's too contradictory.
Probably because Tao Yaoyao was too focused, the man also found him, when Xie Fei turned around to look over, the carriage of the Dingbei Mansion arrived at the gate of the Hanlin Courtyard, and after Chang Geng came down, Xie Fei turned his head.
"Gongzi Xie, my master is invited."
Xie Fei nodded, and then got into the carriage.
After the carriage of the Dingbei Mansion left, where was Xie Fei's figure at the gate of the Hanlin Academy, Tao Yaoyao originally wanted to go over to say hello to him, but now the plan is all in vain.
"Cousin, the Tao girl has hit me with an idea."
In the carriage, Xie Fei sat opposite Xie Lan, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking at him with a smile on his face.
He was obviously smiling, but Xie Lan's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Don't beat her mind."
"Is my cousin reminding me, or is he warning me?" Xie Fei put down the folding fan, took the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Xizhu tea in March is good tea, but doesn't my cousin know that this tea is what I hate the most?" β
Xie Fei smiled and raised the teacup high, and then slowly, as if inadvertently, he threw the teacup in the carriage.
"Knock ......" Xie Fei imitated the sound of a teacup hitting the carriage, "Cousin, do you think this sound is very similar to the drum that my father beat when he went out on the expedition......
No, this voice is too quiet, and it doesn't have that momentum ......at all."
"That's enough." Xie Lan looked up at him, "I will find out what happened back then and give you an explanation, but before that, don't act rashly." β
Xie Fei restrained his smile, when he looked at Xie Lan at this time, it was like he was looking at something nasty, and he didn't even want to give him a look.
"I heard that His Majesty intends to send you to the Jiangnan Tea Illegal Salt Case, do you think you can come back if you leave this time?"
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and now who doesn't know that the king of Dingbei is completely disgusted by His Majesty, so he knows that this is a hot potato, but he has to give it to him.
"And, you said that many years ago, but now, what have you found?"
After brushing it, Xie Fei closed the folding fan, called the parking man, and then got up and got out of the carriage.
After the carriage was quiet, Chang Geng came in to give him medicine, and after seeing that Xie Lan's expression was much more dignified than just now, he persuaded him, "Master, what happened back then was not your fault......
"But the Xie family did die because of me."
Xie Lan looked through the window at the crowded street, the street was obviously lively, but he couldn't hear anything, and the whole person seemed to have returned to that afternoon many years ago.
Killing, rivers of blood, shouts, cries for help, everything rushed towards him in an instant.
He wanted to rush over and say something, but he couldn't move, he could only stand there and be anxious, I don't know how long it had passed, he finally woke up from his anxiety.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Chang Geng's worried face.
"Don't worry, I didn't die back then, and I won't die easily now."
His life carries the hopes of too many people, if he really dies like this, how can he be worthy of their sacrifice......
"Let's get out what I found yesterday."
After his expression recovered, Xie Lan said in a deep voice.
Chang Geng was surprised, "Master, no, if that's the case, wouldn't we make a wedding dress for the second prince in vain......"
Those things were things they had a hard time finding out, and they ......
"Do as the king wills." Xie Lan looked out the window and sneered, "We can't leave Kyoto City for the time being. β
And to stay, there is a price to pay.
