Chapter 71
Liu Jing smiled bitterly. These five hundred slaves had been circulating in the two cities of Xiangfan. It was probably Gan Ning who spread it for him. Although this guy had good intentions, he pushed himself to the forefront. He didn't want others to know about this and thought he was seeking fame.
"Thank you, Miss Liu Jing, I'll do it first!"
Liu Jing drank the wine in the glass. At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart. The little girl's smile seemed familiar. Where did she see it? But she couldn't remember it for a moment.
Tao Zhan just sucked the fruit pulp lightly, put down his ear cup, and smiled: "I heard that the young master is going to marry the daughter of the Cai family, and he is a handsome man. Congratulations to the young master."
Liu Jing was unwilling to bring up this matter in front of outsiders, but he didn't want to explain, so he just smiled faintly, "Thank you, Miss!"
Liu Jing reached out to get the wine pot, but Tao Zhan's hand was one step faster and had already carried the wine pot in his hand. She held the sleeve and held the wine pot with her slender fingers to fill a glass of wine for Liu Jing.
Liu Jing saw Tao Zhan's hand smooth and smooth, white as fat, and his little finger was slightly raised. A jade hand was as soft as boneless. He suddenly moved his heart, and this hand was not the same.
.

.
Is Tao Zhan’s hand?
He remembered that when he saw Tao Zhan the day before yesterday, he felt that his hands were like women, exactly the same as the hand in front of him. He was suspicious and looked at the other person's face. Although his appearance was completely different, was that smile so familiar? Isn't this Tao Zhan's smile?
Liu Jing suddenly remembered another thing. When Tao Zhan first learned about Gan Ning’s breaking the contract, his anger was the voice of a woman. He was distracted at the time. Now that he remembered, it was indeed a strange thing.
"you....."
Liu Jing stood up and stared at Tao Zhan with sharp eyes, "Who are you?"
"Didn't I just say it? I am the Jiuniang of the Tao family. Is it strange for the young master?" Tao Zhan was not surprised at all, but still looked at him with a smile.
"You were lying to me the day before yesterday, you are clearly Tao Zhan!" Liu Jing stared at her and said word by word.
‘Chi!’ Tao Zhan covered his mouth and smiled. She could no longer hold it back, and she smiled like a trembling branch.
"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Liu Jing said angrily.
"Hey! You guy, your eyes are quite tricky. You actually saw through me. You are the third one."
"Hmph!" Liu Jing snorted heavily. He thought of his senior, who screamed for a long time. It turned out that he was a young lady pretending to be a little disguised. He felt a little angry and embarrassed in his heart.
Liu Jing turned around and left. Tao Zhan had already expected that he would leave in anger. Without waiting for him to take two steps, she flew forward like a butterfly and blocked his way.
Tao Zhan bowed deeply to him and said softly: "Jiu Niang is not intentionally deceiving the young master. Now I apologize to the young master. Please forgive Jiu Niang's naughty heart."
Seeing that she apologized sincerely, Liu Jing calmed down a little and said calmly: "This is not a big deal, I won't take it to heart, but I really should go back."
"Young Master is sure that he was not leaving because of this?" Tao Zhan asked seriously.
"Of course not!"
Liu Jing shook his head, "Although I was a little dissatisfied just now, since you apologized, I won't care. My temper is not so narrow."
"Then, is it a bit inconsistent to be a guest when you only drink one glass of wine and leave without taking a bite of the food? Or, the young master has a noble status and is unwilling to eat with me, a businesswoman."
Tao Zhan stared at Liu Jing with bright eyes, waiting for his answer.
Of course, Liu Jing wanted to leave because he was angry, but Tao Zhan's intelligence made him speechless for a while. After a while, he said: "Miss is so rude, I am not a noble person."
"Since you are not a noble person, why don't you drink two more glasses? Could it be that you think the wine here is not good?" Tao Zhan asked again with a smile.
At this time, Liu Jing remembered the furniture and the lamp she gave him again. He liked it very much and had not thanked others yet. Thinking of this, the anger in his heart disappeared.
Liu Jing touched his nose and smiled, "Actually, I mainly think the dishes are a bit light and not suitable for the taste, and the amount is too small to eat enough..."
Tao Zhan couldn't help laughing again, his eyes fluttered, and he gave him a blank look, "Then why didn't you say it earlier? I've tried some thoughts."
Tao Zhan immediately called the bartender and told him: "Another five kilograms of roasted deer and jerky, a roasted lamb, and a big red crucian carp, and another one...."
"Enough! Enough!" Liu Jing quickly called her.
"Okay, hurry up and send it to me immediately!"
The bartender agreed and ran away. The two of them sat down again, and Liu Jing's unhappiness just now also melted with the ice and snow.
He looked at Tao Zhan's face carefully again and secretly admired that this little girl's disguise skills are really clever! She had no flaws when she put on makeup.
Tao Zhan's pretty face was slightly red by his bright eyes, and he said coquettishly: "Does Mr. Jing also like to stare at the Cai female's face like this?"
Only then did Liu Jing realize that he was rude and quickly apologized: "I am just curious about the girl's disguise, and I really have no other intentions."
Tao Zhan picked up the wine pot again and filled him with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "I don't care if you have any other meaning, but I will punish you if you are rude. I will punish you three glasses of wine, are you willing to do it?"
"Okay! I'm drunk and send me back."
"Of course it's okay to send you back, but aren't you afraid that the BMW horse will belong to me from now on?"
Liu Jing smiled and waved his hand, "If the girl likes that horse, I'll give it to you."
"Are you really willing to give it to me?"
Tao Zhan looked at Liu Jing with a pair of wonderful eyes, and a naughty smile appeared in his eyes, "You are not afraid that I will pass it to the Sun brother and sister, they have repeatedly asked me."
"This..." Liu Jing scratched his head, and he suddenly realized that this little girl was very powerful and could not say something randomly.
Tao Zhan pursed his lips and smiled, "A gentleman does not take away the love of others. Although I am not a gentleman, some gentlemen are not as good as me, so of course they won't want your horse. But you must drink three glasses of wine."
"Okay! I accept the punishment."
Liu Jing picked up his ear cup and drank it all. Seeing that he was happy, Tao Zhan was happy. He poured him two glasses of wine in a row and half a glass of wine for himself. She picked up her ear cup and smiled and said, "Young Master is a generous person. The little girl respects you another cup, thank you for giving me face."
At this time, the two bartenders brought the whole lamb to roast. Liu Jing was hungry and picked up the meat-cutting knife and had a meal without hesitation.
Tao Zhan picked up the wine glass and drank carefully. His eyes were as clear as a pool of water and stared at Liu Jing, but he was thinking about the marriage between Liu Jing and Cai Shaoyu. He heard that the daughter of the Cai family was famously arrogant. This young master Jing married her obviously for the benefit of the Liu and Cai family, but only ruined the happiness of the marriage from then on. What a pity!
"What are the girl thinking? It seems to be something wrong." Liu Jing put down the knife, picked up the towel, wiped the greasy corners of his hands and mouth, and glanced at Tao Zhan.
Tao Zhan raised his eyebrows as thin as crescent moons and smiled leisurely, "I was wondering, what impression did I leave on you today, cunning, dishonest, or some other frustrating words."
“Not that serious.”
Liu Jing smiled and said, "Smart, smart, beautiful and wise. This is the impression you gave me, and I don't look like the daughter of a businessman at all."
"What do Master Jing thinks the daughter of a businessman should look like?" Tao Zhan looked at Liu Jing and his expression became serious.
Liu Jing also realized that he had a wrong word and should not say this. This implies discrimination. He quickly explained: "I just said that ordinary small businessmen in the street market are as rich as the Tao family, and they are guests in Jingzhou and Dongwu. It is difficult to equate your Tao family with ordinary businessmen. Please don't misunderstand the girl."
Tao Zhan shook his head, "Maybe the Tao family is different from the kind of street merchant you said, but the Tao family is still a businessman, just a bigger businessman, and still makes profits by buying and selling. I know the status of a businessman very well, so Young Master Jing doesn't need to explain it deliberately."
Speaking of this, Tao Zhan's pretty face showed a fragrant smile like a flower bud, "Mr. Jing is the nephew of the provincial governor. He has noble royal blood, but he is willing to condescend to eat with me, the daughter of a businessman. I am already grateful. I don't have any resentment to the young master."
Liu Jing was silent for a while and said slowly: "Why do you have to deceive yourself like this? You know that I was just talking casually, but you just wanted to underestimate yourself. Then you put a hat that discriminates against businessmen on my head, which means you have a lot of self-esteem? If I, Liu Jing, would I come to the banquet? Will I deliberately make friends with your Tao family? Miss Tao, you underestimate me, Liu Jing too much."
Tao Zhan looked at Liu Jing deeply with beautiful eyes. There was no admiration in this gaze, but was observing, using her girlish sensitivity to capture every expression and sincerity in every sentence.
She thought to herself: "I'm not so easy to be deceived. It's not that easy to win my trust by saying a few words of good words."
However, from Liu Jing's words, she did feel a sense of sincerity and not hypocrisy, ‘Can’t it?
.
.
He really didn't discriminate against my businessman status?'
Tao Zhan's eyes fluttered and smiled, "We won't talk about this anymore, it's harmless. Let's talk about something interesting! For example, your marriage with the Cai family."
Liu Jing frowned. He was about to speak, but he heard footsteps coming from outside the screen, followed by the voice of a young man. His tone was extremely unhappy, "This has always been my seat, why did you give it to others?"
"The villain dares not, I dare not! I thought the young master would not come today, so......" This was the shopkeeper's plea.
"Turn away all the people inside!" The person who came said in an extremely tough tone.
Liu Jing heard the voice, and it turned out to be Liu Cong. Before he could get up, the shopkeeper hurried in and said with a bitter face: "Young master, I'm sorry, you can change your seat!"
Tao Zhan's pink face sank. Today she was treating her, and she was going to drive them away, which made her unable to hold on to her face. She was about to scold her, but Liu Jing waved her hand and stopped her.
"let me!"
Liu Jing didn't stand up, and smiled faintly at the outside and said, "Brother Cong wants to drive me away?"
