There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

After recruiting Ji Ling and Yan Xiang, the pottery merchant handed over all the frontier defense affairs in the southeast to Tao Ying, and he led the Jinling troops back to Danyang County.

After returning to Jinling City, the pottery merchant dealt with the matter at hand and went to visit his wife Diaochan.

As soon as Fang entered the State Shepherd's Mansion, his servants informed the potter that Diao Chan and Mi Zhen were chatting in the backyard.

The potter was very surprised when he heard this.

How could Mi Zhen be here in Jinling City?

Through the hard work in recent years, the Mi family and Jinling City have cooperated well.The matter of transporting salt and iron from the two merchants to other states has been put on the right track, and now the business of the two companies is booming.

Jinling's salt and iron foreign affairs channels have matured, and there is no need for this girl Mi Zhen to continue to show her face. What is she going back to Jinling City for?

Came all the way to see Diao Chan?

When did her relationship with Diao Chan become so good?

After entering the backyard, I saw the two daughters chatting speculatively.

Seeing the pottery merchant coming, the two girls stood up and greeted Yingying.

"Husband, you are back!" Diao Chan greeted him with a smile.

Tao Shang held her hand with a smile, looked her up and down for a while, and suddenly said strangely: "Madam, why do you seem to be... fatter?"

After saying this, Diao Chan suddenly saw a blush on her cheeks, she turned her head away, hummed and didn't speak.

Mi Zhen smiled at the side: "Zhen'er came from Pengcheng this time, specially to congratulate the Tai Tuo, congratulate the Tai Tuo for conquering the whole Jiangnan area, and also adding a new member to the family."

"Congratulations? Newcomer?" The potter frowned, looked at the smiling Mi Zhen, and then at the blushing Diao Chan, and it took a while to recover.

"Ma'am, don't you...have it?" The pottery merchant stretched out his hand and gently touched Diao Chan's seemingly fat belly, his voice was a little excited.

Diao Chan lowered her head and gave a soft "hmm".

The pottery merchant was a little incoherent in his excitement. He has been a human being for two lifetimes, but he didn't expect to become a father today?

"This, this! Great! ... Whose child is it?"

Diao Chan was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Then she made a move in shame and anger, pinched his arm lightly, and said angrily, "Who knows which pig and sheep it is!"

The potter laughed, and said, "It's because I'm incoherent. When did it happen?"

Diao Chan showed a happy smile: "It was the time before you set off..."

"Boys and girls?"

"I do not know."

"Why didn't you take a test?"

This sentence stunned both Diao Chan and Mi Zhen.

Before the child is born... can you know the gender?

The pottery merchant knelt down, gently stroked Diaochan's stomach, and said lovingly, "Unexpectedly, I can be a father, my son...what should I name you...Tao Qi, or Tao Qi?" Good job."

Chapter 4 Seventeen

After returning to Jinling City for a few days, the pottery merchant knew that he was about to become a father, and his happiness almost exploded.

At this moment, he wished he could hire a hundred maids or old ladies to take care of Diao Chan, so that the child could be born smoothly and enjoy this wonderful family happiness.

It's a pity that things don't go as planned, nine out of ten.

Although he really wanted to stay in Jinling City to fulfill his duty as a father, the current situation did not allow him to do so. He could only leave Diao Chan in Jinling City, say goodbye to her temporarily, and set off to return to Xuzhou.

However, Wang Yun was quite reasonable this time. After the old man knew that his adoptive daughter was pregnant, he stayed here without hesitation, and took the initiative to take on the duty of being a grandfather to take care of his daughter.

The potter and his group hurried forward and continued to return north, heading towards Pengcheng.

Returning to Pengcheng with him was Mi Zhen who happened to be returning to Xuzhou too.

On the occasion of parting, Diaochan said something meaningful to the potter.

Such as "Take good care of other girls" and "Don't let others down" and so on.

Of course the potter understood what Diao Chan meant, but he never expected that such words would come out of Diao Chan's mouth.

How big is this woman's mind?

A group of people set off immediately, and arrived in Xuzhou a few days later.

People in Pengcheng knew that the potter had returned, and on the day the potter arrived in Pengcheng, Mi Zhu personally greeted him.

Seeing that the potter and Mi Zhen returned to Pengcheng together, Mi Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a meaningful smile.

He didn't point out anything, but respectfully saluted the potter, saying: "Congratulations to the Taifu for pacifying Jiangnan and returning in triumph. This time, not only the two counties in the southeast have been completely pacified, but even Yuan Shu, a serious trouble in his heart, has been wiped out for your son. It's really a joy." I am also happy."

The potter got off his horse and said to Mi Zhu, "It's also thanks to your gentlemen's help in stabilizing the rear in Pengcheng."

Mi Zhu glanced at Mi Zhen intentionally or unintentionally, and wondered: "My sister went to Jinling City to investigate the accounts of Mi's merchants in Jinling, and she hasn't returned for a long time. As a brother, I feel very strange, but now why are you with the Taifu?" back together?"

Mi Zhen was listening on the side, a shy look appeared on her face.

"Brother, I, I and Taifu... Yes, we met by chance!"

Mi Zhu made a look of sudden realization: "Coincidentally?"

Mi Zhen nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! Coincidentally."

"Oh, hehe, what a coincidence." Mi Zhu's smile became more and more unpredictable.

Seeing that the old boy's brain was getting bigger and bigger, the potter quickly changed the subject.

"Zi Zhonggong, will my father's body be recovered in recent days?"

When the pottery merchant mentioned Tao Qian's body, Mi Zhu's expression darkened immediately, and he sighed, "Tao Shijun's body... is not bad."

Although Mi Zhu only said the word "fortunately", the potter understands that the gray area contained in these two words contains too many other deep meanings.

After a few more polite words with Mi Zhu, the pottery merchant led Yu Ji to Xuzhou Mufu to meet Tao Qian.

When the potter walked into the backyard, it happened that Tao Qian was lying on a deck chair in the courtyard, half-closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth of the sun while shaking.
