Hongtao returned to Taoyaju, and Qingyu Zhufeng and Shi'an were both there. Only then did she tell the three people the cause and effect of the incident, her eyes red with grievance.
"...He didn't tell me in advance, how did I know it wouldn't work? This is just deliberately making things difficult." Hongtao felt aggrieved and started to get angry again.
Shi'an thought about it for a moment, and comforted him warmly: "The outer circle also has its own advantages. Most of the inner circle are famous people with great reputations. It is not easy to compete with them. Moreover, the outer circle is wider, and the opportunities will be greater.
More."
Zhufeng also nodded, "In my opinion, the inner circle now has more monks and less meat, and the outer circle might be the place where you can show your strength."
Hong Tao's brain reacted, and her challenging spirit was immediately aroused again, and her fighting spirit became high. "The outer circle is the outer circle. One day, my aunt will let the entire Yinzhou, no, the entire Daxia, the entire world, know that I am famous.
The famous name of peach.”
She looked at Qing Yu and said, "Junior sister, head, can you tell me how long it will take for me to become famous all over the world?"
Qingyu smiled softly and made a hexagram casually. After a moment, he said: "'Ze Huo Le'."
"What do you mean?" Hong Tao was puzzled.
“There’s a long way to go.”
Revolution means getting rid of the old and taking the sign of innovation. Qingyu murmured in her heart that her hexagram was not only a divination for the second senior sister, but also a divination for the senior brother, senior sister, second senior brother and herself.
There is a long way to go in the future.
...
After Hongtao had lunch, she carried the two pieces of bacon given to her by Sanchan and went to Qian Laoer's house.
Qian Laoer had just finished his lunch and was sitting under a tree in the courtyard enjoying the cool air. After hearing "Qian Laoer", he turned to the door rather depressed.
"Little ancestor, what are you doing here again?"
Hongtao chuckled and shook the bacon in his hand, "I've brought you something, but you're not happy yet."
Qian Laoer was still angry about the fate of his life, and he shook his cattail leaf fan angrily, "I think you are trying to kill the donkey."
Hongtao made a sound, put the bacon on the table, moved a bench, took a teacup, poured a cup of tea, and started drinking.
"You're welcome." Qian Laoer shook his cattail leaf fan faster.
Hongtao glanced at him, sniffed again, and asked, "Who made your lunch? It's so delicious."
Qian Laoer was a little surprised at first. Although his food and dishes had not been washed yet, they were still in the kitchen and could smell it?! But then he thought about the strange ability of this little ancestor, and it was no longer strange.
But when Hong Tao asked about this, he became even more depressed, "Matchmaker Liao. Speaking of which, I blame you for this. She has been pestering me for the past two days to propose marriage to me."
Hongtao chuckled, "Does she want to propose marriage to you, or does she want to get married to you?"
Qian Laoer looked as if he had seen a ghost, "You kid doesn't understand, so you can't say such nonsense."
Hongtao looked at him like an idiot, tutted and shook her head: "You, you, even if you say you have a wooden fish head, you can't forgive the wooden fish."
Qian Laoer frowned and said, "Girl, why do you criticize me as soon as we meet?"
"Let me ask you, why did another matchmaker Liao bring you food for no reason?"
"She happened to pass by my door and bumped into it. The meal was meant to be delivered to her brother, but her brother had already had lunch, so she gave it to me."
Hong Tao couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Yes, yes, you live at the end of the alley, and we can meet each other at the door. You two are really destined to be together."
Qian Laoer was a little puzzled, "Then...it can't be that she made a special trip to see me off, right? Why would she bring me food when she has nothing to do?"
Hongtao looked at the sky speechlessly for a while, shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's up to you. I came here to ask you about a place. It starts from the arcade in the east to the Eight Corridors in the west, from Pipa in the south, to Seven Bends in the north. This is
Do you know the place?"
When Qian Laoer heard these place names, his expression suddenly became a bit hard to describe, and he laughed dryly, "Congratulations, you passed the exam."
Hong Tao saw something wrong with his expression and frowned: "Have you already reached the edge of the city?"
Qian Laoer hesitated for a moment, and then said with some confidence: "That area is collectively called Tongyuan. It's close to Dongcheng. The area is quite big. As far as I know, there are not many teeth. Haha, for you, there is not much competition.
, which is good."
Hongtao became more and more suspicious, "Tongyuan? What kind of place is it? Why do you look so speechless?"
Qian Laoer thought to himself, it's hard to explain in words, "You'll know after you go and see it. I can't tell you clearly now."
Hong Tao narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "Go and ask the Yamen for me to see if the assigned place can be changed. Why do I feel that Tongyuan is not a good place. Anyway, I am your guarantee, you always have some face that can be used
Bar."
Qian Laoer nodded simply, "I'll go ask you in the afternoon, but I guess I can't change it. Mr. Huang is an inexperienced person and is very rigid."
Hong Tao let out a somewhat annoyed "tsk" and stood up, "Hey... I'll go take a look first. It can't be a devil's cave."
After taking two steps, he turned back to remind, "By the way, Matchmaker Liao, you have to take good care of yourself. Don't blame me for not getting things done for you." After saying that, he left the money in the courtyard with a dull look on his face.
Second child, leave.
On the street, Hongtao called a carriage and told the driver to go to Tongyuan.
Unexpectedly, when the coachman heard this, his face was full of reluctance, "Girl, you have to pay more to go to Tongyuan."
Hong Tao was completely speechless and laughed. Such a frightening place, haha, she was really curious.
After adding twenty copper coins to the coachman, Hongtao got into the carriage with a stern face and didn't bother to ask the coachman about the situation. Anyway, we would find out when we got there.
...
The carriage sped towards the city edge, and the excitement and prosperity also diminished. Hong Tao observed along the road and discovered that the city edge was not in the direction of the city gate. The city gate faced south, but the direction she was going was towards the east.
But after all, it was also the edge of the city, the farthest location from the center of the city, so the carriage had been driving for nearly an hour and there was still no sign of stopping.
Hongtao felt her butt hurt from sitting, so she asked the coachman: "How far is it?"
"We're almost there," the coachman replied while stopping the carriage.
Hong Tao was surprised. She opened the curtain and saw that the coachman was putting a handkerchief around his face. He asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
The coachman asked back, "Is this your first time coming to Tongyuan, girl?"
Hong Tao nodded.
The coachman whispered, "No wonder," and then said to Hong Tao, "Girl, you should put a handkerchief around your face." As he said this, he started driving again.
Hongtao became more and more confused. She opened all the car curtains and looked at everything around her carefully.
The carriage drove for a while, and Hong Tao gradually smelled an unusual smell. As the carriage continued to move forward, the smell became stronger and stronger.
Hongtao's ears, eyes and nose were stronger than the average person, but the smell was already overwhelming. She had to hold her nose and ask the coachman: "What is this smell?"
The coachman replied loudly: "Girl, we will arrive at Tongyuan soon."
Hong Tao felt that the smell was overwhelming and everywhere, and she couldn't cover it up. She could only hold her nose and breathe through her mouth, "But what is this smell?"
"Tongyuan, girl, this is what Tongyuan tastes like." The coachman whipped his whip and shouted loudly, causing the carriage to go faster.
