"Wait!" Qing Mo frowned, put his head on Tao Cheng's chin, and rubbed his head, "No, didn't Second Grandma Qiao make an appointment for you?"

Tao Cheng copied what he said in the afternoon, "Don't be afraid, if you can't get married, you can't really let you block the way to snatch the marriage."

"Actually, I'm a little excited when I think about it. If I point my spear, you will lead me on the horse. We will leave behind the long line of sedan chairs, bustle and hustle and bustle, and wander the world from now on." Qingmo sighed "ah", " Elope, then I've had a good time."

Tao Cheng grabbed Wang Wangtu's hand from mid-air, clasped it on his chest and rubbed it, "The scenery is only temporary, but wandering the world seems good, fascinating."

Qing Mo couldn't hold back Pian Pian's fantasies, the two of them in his mind were galloping, a full belch knocked him back to his eyes, he pursed his lips helplessly, "How are you going to disturb Huang's marriage?"

"Those who come and go to brothels are either elegant customers or prostitutes. Which one do you think I belong to?"

"Naturally a prostitute." Qing Mo didn't hesitate.

Tao Cheng chuckled, "Whenever I am looked down upon by others, no matter what name I have as the eldest son of the Tao family, once or twice I may be regarded as a refined guest, three or four times, I am always accompanied by lovely people, and there will always be people who show up. Gossip."

"Everyone spread it by word of mouth, one spreads to ten, ten spreads to a hundred..." Qing Mo couldn't believe it, "You are destroying your reputation!"

Tao Cheng hugged him tightly, "It is Tao Che who needs fame, not me."

Qingmo was silent, with mixed emotions in his heart, unspeakably depressed, he murmured, "Second Grandma Qiao will be so angry with you."

Tao Cheng also sighed, "Someone has to compromise." He added, "After she gives birth, and she can't think of anything else, then you can leave the brothel."

Qingmo watched the moon falling in the lake in a daze, and only after a long while did he answer in a muffled voice.

Tao Cheng felt sorry for him, and softly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, you said it too and wait until the boat reaches the bridge. There is still some time left, don't worry."

The splashed ink night is illuminated, and many sky lanterns float out of the octagonal tall buildings. In addition to the Magpie Bridge, there is also a burning light bridge tonight.

A lamp was also lit on the roof of this small waterside courtyard. Qingmo supported the wire frame and stared at it cautiously, for fear that the candle would touch the lamp. When the heat filled the lampshade and it was shaking, Tao Cheng tapped the back of his hand. , "Relax."

Qingmo gave a "hmm" and told in a low voice, "For now, you will wander the world on our behalf, and go far away."

Riding on the night wind, the sky lantern quickly drifted away, and Qing Mo didn't look back until it merged into the light bridge all over the sky. He felt ashamed, "I'm too hypocritical, this is not good."

Tao Cheng shook his head, cupped his face, and kissed him tenderly and affectionately.

The next day, the sun rose.

As soon as Tao Cheng opened the door and came out, he saw several plump-feathered birds standing on the stone table, pecking at the bowls and plates with their heads lowered. He smiled, then turned around and gently closed the door.

When Du Liu'er came here yawning sleepily, he met their Tao Dagui guest who was picking up the leftovers with his own hands. He was so shocked that he almost exploded, so he hurried over, "Don't! Don't!"

Tao Cheng "shh", "It's nothing, bring me some saponins."

Du Liu'er turned around, turned back, and presented the soap box in front of Tao Cheng, "It's absolutely impossible. A few days ago, I was frightened out of my nerves when I went to the table to eat with Young Master. Now if the manager knows Now, I have to pack up and leave."

"Then don't let the manager know." Tao Cheng put all the dishes together in one place before giving up. He motioned for the servant to follow, and the two went to the lake and squatted down.

Tao Cheng went in with his hands down, and the boy opened the lid of the box, scooped up a spoonful of saponin powder and poured it into the palm of his hand.

"Sometimes I eat with the students in the school, and after the meal, everyone cleans up together. Things that even children can do, what do you think?"

"Young master Tao, you are in the school, you are in the school, and you are in the brothel courtyard. How can you be the same?"

Tao Cheng laughed, and shook his washed hands, "Forget it, I was just waiting for you."

The boy hated himself for being snoozing for a moment, and said respectfully, "What do you want, Master?"

"Two things. One is that today's diet is still lighter. He liked the shrimp stuffed meat and tofu soup last night."

The boy nodded yes.

"Secondly, he is not allowed to embroider. I have already told him that if he still asks you for embroidery thread, don't give it."

The little servant wanted to open his mouth in embarrassment, but when he looked up and saw Tao Cheng's eyes, he immediately nodded in agreement.

The broken silver was gone, so Tao Cheng simply rewarded him with a broken gold, "After he gets up, go find someone with solid skills to massage him."

The boy's heart trembled with joy, he looked at Tao Cheng's leaving figure, and then looked towards the door of the house, only to see the Cowherd and Weaver Girl holding hands on the revolving lantern, joy also turned around and turned into a long sigh.

After several days of not showing up, Tao Cheng originally wanted to go to the private school first, but thought that there were still a few gentlemen in the private school, so he was not missing for the time being, so he went back to the brothel and found the steward to lead the way to the tailor yard.

Liang Zhi's heart was still beating, she was called out as soon as she started work, and now she was sitting by the flower bed with Tao Cheng, talking to Tao Cheng with the notebook and ink she carried, and after writing down the beautiful word "dress up", she raised her eyes and followed Gave a questioning look.

Tao Cheng looked at her and said with a smile, "No, you're already fine. You just need to think about your state of mind and wait for me to come back to pick you up."

Liang Zhi nodded, and wrote: Don't worry.

Tao Cheng didn't keep her waiting for long, and sent someone to tell her to go to the brothel street after about noon.

Liang Zhi put on her veil, took a deep breath to cheer herself up, pretending to be Tao Cheng's sweetheart made her inexplicably excited, and after being led into a horse ring in Tao Cheng's arms, her excitement suddenly turned into nervousness.

Tao Cheng said, "I'm afraid the carriage is a bit ostentatious, I've wronged you."

Liang Zhi hurriedly shook her head, she didn't dare to move, and Tao Cheng said with a light smile, "My mother is the only one in the house, she doesn't know we're coming, she might make things difficult for you later, don't panic."

Liang Zhi nodded again, but she became more and more nervous because of the voice above her head. She took a deep breath cautiously, and managed to calm down her heartbeat after a few downs.

Qiao Qing is in a good mood today, because after falling asleep last night, she dreamed that she was the one who was extremely enviable in the year of marriage, and the concubine who came after her obscurity was the woman. How can I give that woman a star?

The imperial concubine bed was moved under the osmanthus tree, and Qiao Qing was leaning on it, making a pair of tiger-toed shoes with her needle and thread in her hands. She took a deep breath in the fragrance of the flowers and praised, "Say, cut down the two plum trees next to them and replace them with Osmanthus, can the master agree?"

The maid said, "Naturally, I agree. Right now, you are the biggest in the house, and everything should depend on you."

Qiao Qing was pleased, she was pregnant with two boys, and based on her experience, she guessed that this was still a young man in her womb. Mr. Tao was old enough to have a son, so he would definitely like it very much. Qiao Qing smiled smugly. When a girl came, all the smiles faded away.
