After leaving the Buddhist temple, it was already dusk and Tao Zhan was still silent. However, this silence was a little different from when he came, sadness and worry were the same, but there was a little embarrassment. She didn't know how to face Liu Jing.

She didn't expect that her mother would put their hands together. This was clearly a kind of entrustment. Is it a lifelong entrustment to him?

What would he think? Will he think it was his own meaning? He told his mother that he also liked him. Will he think he was self-indulgent?

It seems that he promised his mother, but would this promise be a kind of sympathy or it might be that he could not bear to hurt his mother

Did he sincerely agree to his mother?

Tao Zhan was in a state of confusion. On several occasions, she wanted to open the car window and say hello to him and say a few words casually. This awkward atmosphere was about to drown him, but her hand touched the curtain and retracted, and she never had the courage.

"Jiu Niang"

Liu Jing's voice came from outside the car, and he finally broke the silence. Tao Zhan's heart pounded, and then he was filled with worry. Did he want to deny his promise in his mother's mother's?

"Um"

She agreed softly, lowered her head, and even though he couldn't see her in the carriage, her face turned red.

"I think it's better to let your mother move home."

Tao Zhan felt relieved, it turned out that this was the case, and her nervousness was immediately eliminated, "My father said that there were many guests who were afraid of being infected."

"Actually, don't contact directly, it won't be contagious. Your mother doesn't cough or face-to-face infection. And we still shook hands with your mother today, are there doctors? He doesn't know how many patients he has come into contact with. Why is he okay? I don't think it's so serious."

"But my mother said that before the Buddha, her heart was quieter."

"It's not that your mother just doesn't want to bother you, and doesn't want you to worry about her. Jiu Niang, no matter how good the Buddha's heart is, it's not as good as family affection."

Tao Zhan was silent, and Liu Jing deeply hit her heart. No matter how good the Buddha's heart is, it is not as good as family affection.

She suddenly felt like she wanted to cry, a kind of guilt that she was sobbing. She couldn't leave her mother alone in the Buddhist temple like this, and she must take her home.

Tao Zhan opened the curtain and said excitedly: "Mr. Jing, let's go back and help me take my mother home."

Liu Jing paused for a moment before saying softly: "Don't worry, it's dusk now. I'll go and convince your father tomorrow morning, give me some time, I'll make something, and then we'll go and suggest it together."

Tao Zhan slowly calmed down. Yes, he had to ask his father to agree, otherwise his mother would not go back with him. She thought about it and asked strangely: "What are you going to do?"

Liu Jing smiled mysteriously, "You will know then."

.........

Due to the large number of customers in the East Courtyard, in order to facilitate management, the Tao Mansion opened the east gate that was never used, allowing customers to enter and exit the east gate, and opened the east suspension bridge, and closed several passages connecting the east gate and the main house backyard.

Moreover, many guests brought entourages, and the staff was complicated. The Tao Mansion transferred two armed servants to the inner house to protect the house, patrolling day and night, with extremely strict protection.

Liu Jing first sent Tao Zhan to the main gate. Tao Zhan got off the carriage and smiled at Liu Jing and said, "I really want to ask you to accompany me today. Fortunately, I didn't meet that idiot."

"I don't think I'll meet him these days, at least he won't show up in the past few days." Liu Jing smiled confidently.

"Why"

Tao Zhan was puzzled, his beautiful eyes were full of curiosity, "Are he afraid of you?"

"He is not afraid of me, but his father is afraid of me, so he should be locked up by Huang Zu."

"Hmph seems Huang Zu is not stupid."

Tao Zhan smiled slightly again, "Then I'll wait for you to talk to my father."

Liu Jing nodded, turned around and took the horse away. Tao Zhan kept looking at his back and walked away before sighing gratefully and walked into the door.

As soon as I walked to the front yard, I saw a large group of people walking out of the atrium. It was Tao Sheng who sent Liu Cong and Cai Yi out.

Liu Cong smiled and quickly walked out of the middle door, but saw Tao Zhan at a glance, and his eyes lit up, "Jiu Niang is here too."

Tao Zhan was dissatisfied when he heard that he actually called his nickname. She ignored it and walked towards another small door with a cold face.

When Tao Sheng saw that his daughter ignored the distinguished guest, he couldn't help but feel a little worried and snorted heavily, "Zhan'er"

Tao Zhan had no choice but to step forward and bow to his father, "See your father"

"Where did you go in the afternoon?"

"Report to my father, my daughter went to visit her mother in the afternoon."

The four words of visiting mother touched the softest part of Tao Sheng's heart. He sighed secretly and said to her softly: "Mr. Cong came here specifically to pay his birthday to his grandfather, and so was Mr. Cai. He is a distinguished guest of our Tao Mansion. Don't be rude."

Tao Zhan nodded silently, turned around and bowed to Liu Cong and Cai Yi, "Welcome to Gong Cong and Gong Cai to visit Tao's family."

Liu Cong rarely saw Tao Zhan not being with Liu Jing, and invited with a smile: "I was talking to Lingzun about the scenery of Chaisang. I plan to go to Xunyang River tomorrow. I wonder if there is this face to invite Jiuniang to accompany you."

Seeing that his father was about to agree for him, Tao Zhan said anxiously: "I will visit my mother tomorrow, Mr. Cong. My mother is seriously ill and I have no intention of traveling. Please understand."

Liu Cong's face finally got a little cold, and he said a long time, "Since Miss Tao is unintentional, then forget it."

"Mr. Cong, Mr. Cai, I'm sorry, I'll say goodbye first."

Tao Zhan turned around and walked towards the small door. Tao Sheng also saw that Liu Cong was interested in his daughter, but he thought of Liu Jing, swallowed the words he said, and smiled bitterly.

Liu Cong looked at Tao Zhan's charming figure, with a hot light flashing in his eyes, and thought to himself that no matter what, he would get Tao Zhan, such a beautiful lady, hiding her in the room, it would not be an exaggeration to love her.

At this time, Cai Yi, who had been smiling but did not speak, finally said, "Since Mr. Cong is so intentional, Jiu Niang's father is by his side, why don't he ask for marriage?"

Liu Cong could no longer help but knelt down to Tao Sheng, "My nephew has loved Jiu Niang for a long time. He is willing to marry Jiu Niang as a fair wife. I beg for Uncle Shi to fulfill his wish."

A flat wife is just a nice saying, but in fact she is still a concubine and has no status guarantee, unless she is particularly loved by her husband, just like Mrs. Gan of Liu Bei, who has been following Liu Bei for a long time, so she has won respect.

Young and beautiful girls may be able to protect one or two things. Once they get older, they will be difficult to have the so-called status of a flat wife. This statement can only deceive young and ignorant girls. How can they deceive Tao Sheng, who has experienced the world for too long?

Of course, Tao Sheng didn't want his daughter to be a concubine, and his second brother also said that Liu Jing seemed to like his daughter very much. More importantly, Liu Jing had great kindness to the Tao family, and Tao Sheng was always grateful.

However, Liu Cong's status is noble, and Tao Sheng could not refuse directly. He would offend people. He hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Mr. Cong is the honor of her to fall in love with her little daughter. But she has a lot of things recently, and Zhu Jing unfortunately fell ill. I will consider this matter again. Please come up."

Tao Sheng helped Liu Cong up and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely consider it carefully."

Liu Cong was secretly happy. As long as Tao Sheng was willing to consider it, there would be hope. He was the provincial Muzhi and his status was far higher than that of Liu Jing. Although his parents would consider their daughter's emotions, he believed that for businessmen like Tao Sheng, they paid more attention to actual interests, not to mention that there were tribe members, who did not want to marry the provincial Mu.

"Then please uncle Shi, I will say goodbye first."

Liu Cong bowed and left the main gate with Cai Yi, and detoured towards the east gate of Tao Mansion.

"Brother Cai, how likely do you think it is?" Liu Cong asked impatiently when he returned to his yard.

"It depends on how important the provincial governor is to the Tao family. But I believe that even if Tao Sheng is hesitant, the Tao family members will definitely support this marriage. Tao Sheng is the head of the family, so how can he ignore the wishes of the tribe? Gong Cong is waiting for good news."

Liu Cong couldn't help but feel joy in his heart and said to the dozen followers behind him: "One person rewards you with five cents, go out to drink and have fun."

Everyone was overjoyed and bowed to thank him, "Congratulations, Mr. Duke."

Everyone rushed to ask Shuzuo to receive the reward. Liu Cong squinted his eyes as if he saw him and Tao Zhan when they entered the bridal chamber.

............

On the Yangtze River, a group of ships left Chaisang and headed towards Wuchang City. On the last big ship, Huang Yong squinted his eyes and looked at the blood-red sunset from time to time, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He tied his hands behind his back and his feet were tied up with ropes. Next to him were two soldiers guarding him. Both of them were Huang Zu's personal soldiers, and he did not dare to offend Huang Yong too much.

"This is the order of the lord, and we are also following the order. The second lord will endure it for another night and the boat will arrive in Wuchang tomorrow morning. We will definitely let you go."

The two of them kept explaining, Huang Yong just sneered and said without saying a word. After a moment, he suddenly said, "Press my shoulders, my bloodline is blocked and I'm almost out of reach."

A personal soldier hurried forward and pinched his shoulders. At this moment, Huang Yong took off his rope with both hands and strangled his personal soldier's neck like lightning. With a click, the personal soldier's neck was twisted.

Huang Yong pulled out the long knife from his waist and stabbed him with his backhand. Another soldier caught him off guard and was pierced by a knife, making a long scream.

The screams alarmed dozens of other soldiers on the same boat. They rushed from the front boat. At this time, Huang Yong had cut off the rope on his feet, bit his knife in his mouth, jumped, and jumped into the vast Yangtze River.

.........

As soon as the sky was getting dark, Liu Jing was about to lead his horse out. One of his subordinates found that there was an area-wide school ground in Chaisang South City, which allowed him to practice riding and shooting.

"male"

At this time, Xiaobao ran out of the yard and asked, "How many layers do you need to sew that thing?"

Liu Jing thought for a while and said with a smile: "About twenty layers, can it be sewn tonight?"

"It's okay to step up a little bit. Wang Datou has gone to buy handwear, but I've never seen handwear made of leather."

Wang Datou is Wang Tai, and handwear is today's gloves. It was very popular during the Qin and Han dynasties and was also unearthed in the Han tombs of Mawangdui. Leather gloves are naturally useful.

Liu Jing turned over and turned around and smiled, "I told him that if he can't get a leather handcloth, don't come back."
