As expected, Yuan Wan and Zhen Mi arrived in Xuzhou within a few days, in compliance with Feng's words.
Logically speaking, it was completely unnecessary for Zhen Mi to come to Xuzhou, but she came in the end, and Tao Shang still felt a little helpless in his heart.
However, the Zhongshan Zhen family has become a vassal of the Tao family in Hebei since the war in Hebei. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a family of heroes.
Naturally, we should treat the families of heroes with the same treatment as the families of heroes.
First of all, the first point is that when people come to Pengcheng, you can't chase them away.
Zhen Mi first came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and presented the assets of the Zhen family in Hebei to the pottery merchant, expressing that the Zhen family was willing to obey the imperial court's orders from now on and could use the Zhen family's assets at any time for the imperial court to expand its territory.
The development of land, stability and people's livelihood and other undertakings.
What a selfless act.
The pottery merchant smiled wryly and followed Zhen Mi's submission.
"You are quite fast... How long has it been since you arrived in Pengcheng?" Tao Shang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Zhen Mi pursed her lips and said happily: "What did the Prime Minister say? The little girl is here to handle business on behalf of the Zhongshan Zhen family. What do you mean by following here?"
The potter raised his eyebrows and waited quietly for Zhen Mi to continue covering up.
Come on, keep showing off.
Sure enough, Zhen Mi couldn't pretend anymore.
"I brought some expensive gifts from Hebei this time, and I want to give them to my father Tao Jun and his wife in person... I wonder if I can pay them a visit."
The pottery merchant sighed after hearing this.
Little guy, the fox's tail is exposed.
Being stared at with the potter's playful eyes, Zhen Mi couldn't help but blush with shame.
"Why are you looking at me like that? The little girl has no other intentions." Zhen Mi whispered.
The potter said with a smile: "Of course I know you have no other intentions, and Tao never said he would not agree to it? If you want to see my family, you have to prepare some generous gifts."
A hidden smile appeared on Zhen Mi's face.
On the second day, Yuan Wan and Zhen Mi came to Tao Shang's house in person to visit Diao Chan, Mi Zhen, Tao Qian, Wang Yun and others.
The gifts Zhen Mi brought were naturally diverse and varied, making people dizzy.
Feng and Yuan Wan had not seen each other for a long time. These two women, who had been dependent on each other since they lost their home, immediately hugged each other and cried bitterly after they met.
Compared to Feng and Yuan Wan, others showed more surprise.
Among all the people, Mi Zhen was born in the Mi family in Xuzhou and was not inferior to the Zhen family in wealth. She could be said to be well-informed.
But precisely because she was well-informed, she was even more surprised by Zhen Mi's generosity.
"Pearls from the South China Sea... ivory from South Vietnam... bronze wares from the Spring and Autumn Period... and such huge corals."
Mi Zhen couldn't help but clicked her tongue when she saw these many expensive gifts.
Although his family could afford it, his two brothers would never allow her to waste the family like this.
Liu Xi and Tao Ji circled around the big boxes placed in the courtyard, jumping around and around, clapping and dancing, the two of them went crazy.
Zhen Mi delivered an exquisite jade statue to Tao Qian.
"I have admired Tao Jun for a long time and admired him very much. When I was in Hebei, I always heard the Prime Minister talk about Tao Jun's great achievements and past events. Tao Jun's heroic deeds are really admirable. Today I finally saw him in person.
Already."
The potter just wiped away the cold sweat.
This lie is too false... Can my father believe it if he is also a heroic deed?
Tao Qian looked at the jade sculpture with admiration, and said to Zhen Mi with a smile: "You girl is really good at talking. What you just said is true? This kid often praises me in front of you? Haha, no
To tell you the truth, I was really fierce when I was young."
Potter: "..."
This old gangster keeps coming back as he lives longer.
Zhen Mi smiled gently and said, "Isn't that right? The prime minister not only told the girl about Tao Jun's heroic past in detail, but also told the little girl about Tao Jun's erudition and profound knowledge. The stories you always told him when he was a child
, he often tells the little girl."
"Oh?" Tao Qian glanced at the pale pottery merchant and said, "What stories have I told him?"
Zhen Mi said with a smile: "Isn't the legend of the White Snake what you always tell him? The little girl has never heard such a poignant and touching story. It is really touching. Such a sad and fascinating story. The little girl has never heard of it, and she doesn't want to give it up.
It comes from Tao Jun. His talents really amaze the little girl."
Tao Qian was stunned: "What? What is the Legend of the White Changchong?"
The potter hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Father, this happened so many years ago, why do you still care about this? Or take a look at this jade sculpture, do you like it?"
Tao Qian came back to his senses, nodded with satisfaction and said, "The color is round and crystal clear. It is really a rare and good piece of jade."
Tao Qian turned his head, looked at Zhen Mi and said, "It cost a lot of money to have such a large piece of good jade, and to find it carved by a famous artist so beautifully, right? You've spent a lot of money, my child, stay for dinner tonight."
Zhen Mi Yingying saluted: "Of course, a little girl wouldn't dare to be vague about giving a gift to Mr. Tao."
Wang Yun, who was next to him, pulled the potter over and said in a sour tone: "You brat, you are very clever! You found a woman with such a strong fortune. I have lived for most of my life, but in the end, I am just a woman."
Poor Situ, it's better for you, you are over twenty, you want land, you want soldiers, you want money, you want women, you want women."
After saying this, the pottery merchant wanted to slap him in the face.
Take a look at the bastard words he said. What's the difference between him and a street gangster? How can he pay back a veteran of three dynasties like this?
Situ has been treated like a dog for so many years.
These two old men are cultivating Taoism and immortality. Why are their bottom lines getting lower and lower?
The pottery merchant said with a smile: "Are you envious? If so, you can compete with me to see if she will be interested in you, old man Rui."
Wang Yun's beard stood straight up in anger, and he wished he could pounce on him and bite him to death.
"Little thief, if I hadn't cultivated my moral character now, I would have cursed you to death!"
At this time, Zhen Mi came to Wang Yun's face with a smile on her face, and then ordered her attendants to carry a box and said to Wang Yun: "Wang Situ is a veteran of three dynasties. He has made great achievements for the country and the people. This little girl is deeply
As a token of respect, here is a piece of ginseng that my servant picked outside the Liaodong Pass. I specially used it to replenish Qi and blood with Wang Situ. Please don’t mind it and just use it.”
Wang Yun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
"Hey, what a welcome gift, girl! How nice is this, what's so funny... How old is this ginseng?
Zhen Mi smiled and said, "This little girl doesn't know either. Please forgive Wang Situ."
The pottery merchant said from the side: "It doesn't matter, Wang Situ can calculate and calculate. He can even know that he will live to be one hundred and fifty-three years old. Are you afraid that you can't calculate the shelf life of a ginseng?"
Wang Yun: "..."
Zhen Mi gave special gifts to Diao Chan, Mi Zhen, Lu Lingqi, Feng Shi, etc. one by one. Even Tao Ji and Liu Xi also participated.
Seeing him nakedly trying to win people's hearts here, the pottery merchant couldn't help but sigh.
He understood Zhen Mi's intention in his heart, but he didn't understand why she did this?
The ultimate goal of this girl is just to entertain herself. But why didn't she prepare a gift for herself?
You shouldn't, why are you ignoring me so much? I'm the one you want, okay?
At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, but it was Guo Jia who hurried over under the guidance of Pei Qian.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Guo Jia was stunned.
"This, it's so lively... how about sharing the spoils?"
The pottery merchant walked up to Guo Jia and said, "Why don't you go home? Are you in such a hurry? What's the important matter?"
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said: "Of course it's an important matter, and I'm afraid it's not trivial."
The pottery merchant knew that Guo Jia usually had a lot of fun, so once he looked worried, there would be no good news.
"What's wrong?"
"The school affairs office has reported that Liu Biao has been in frequent contact with Cao Cao in recent days. He seems to be discussing something important, and troops from both sides seem to be gathering. Guo feels that their target is most likely to be us.
.”
The potter frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"I'm afraid that San Liu and Cao Cao will unite and send troops together to deal with us in Xuzhou."
