Chapter 4 The Mi Mansion received a cold reception(1/2)

 Xia Pi, Mi Mansion.

Mi Zhuliang's swaying pupils, as if two rockets were about to shoot out, staring at the three gifts in front of him with bright eyes.

This is what Mi Fang just brought back from the governor's mansion, or Tao Ying "carefully" prepared for him.

Of course, with Mi Zhu's wealth, what Tao Ying gave him is not much better than what he gave to his servants casually.

"It's very meaningful!"

Mi Zhu murmured to himself, his brows slowly frowned.

"Brother, is it because of these things Tao Chongguang gave me, and there are other intentions?"

Seeing Mi Zhu's expression change, Mi Fang, who didn't care much, suddenly felt nervous.

"This Tao Chongguang won't make any bad, right?"

Mi Fang stared at the gifts she brought from the governor's mansion and looked them carefully again.

The first gift is a delicate pottery, with a handful of bottomed grains and a roll of fine cloth.

The second gift is a pretty exquisite lacquerware, with a few Wuzhu coins inside and a high-quality brocade.

The third gift is a bronze toad with three red and hot winter dates stuffed into its mouth.

"Brother, does Tao Chongguang's meaning mean that Mi's business is prosperous and his warehouse is full of money and grain?"

Mi Fang looked at it for a long time and really figured out something.

"Although things are average, you can see that Tao Chongguang was still attentive and sincere in a hurry."

Hearing this, Mi Zhu twitched his lips, looked up at Mi Fang, and shook his head slowly.

"This Tao Gongzu's second son is indeed very attentive!"

Mi Fang didn't know what idea Tao should have, but Mi Zhu knew it clearly.

"Hehe..."

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were "guessing riddles", and a crisp laugh like a silver bell suddenly came from outside the door.

This sound is as wonderful as a spring water, and it is transmitted into Mi Zhu, Mi Fang's ears, like drinking the fragrance, refreshing the heart.

"Big brother, second brother!"

The owner of the voice is naturally Mi Zhen, the pearl in Mi’s palm.

As soon as she stepped into the living room of the main hall, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang suddenly felt that the winter room was shining a little.

"What's the point?"

Mi Zhen, who is about fifteen years old, has skin that is better than snow, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water. When she is looking around, she has a sense of agility and beauty.

"Sister, come and take a look. Does this door-to-door gift from Tao Chongguang to the elder brother have profound meaning?"

Unlike Mi Zhu's depth and reserve, and being taciturn, Mi Fang is relatively lively, so she immediately pointed to Mi Zhen at the three gifts that Tao Ying gave.

"If you give rituals to others, you will have something to ask for."

After listening to Mi Fang's explanation, Mi Zhen pointed directly at the core as soon as she opened her mouth.

"This second son of the Tao Envoy is really a scheming person."

After looking back and forth a few times, Mi Zhen immediately saw Tao Ying’s intention.

"Oh?"

Whether from Mi Zhu’s reaction just now or from Mi Zhen’s expression, Mi Fang already understood that she had guessed wrongly before.

"The second young master Tao means nothing more than telling the eldest brother that he has no money, little food, and lacks people."

Mi Zhen uttered the puzzle hidden in Tao Ying’s gift.

"Brother, second brother, you guys are busy, little sister is going to enjoy the winter chrysanthemums. Hehe..."

Mi Zhen comes and goes in a hurry.

"Have you seen it wrong?"

"In addition to making money and grain, this second young master Tao is also trying to make me a Mi family!"

Mi Zhu took out the jujube without kernels from the toad's mouth and put it in his mouth to chew it slowly.

"Brother, where, please give it?"

Mi Fang, who realized it later, couldn't see through Tao Ying, who was "simple-minded" at this moment.

"It is impossible to give!"

Mi Zhu shook his head.

"Our family is a merchant family. Everything is fair and reasonable. There are transactions that have both going and returning, and there is no output or return. Mi will not do it."

Mi Fang was stunned.

"Isn't this going to offend Tao Ying?"

Mi Zhu patted Mi Fang on the shoulder, and a unique smirk of a businessman appeared in his eyes.

"But you can borrow money. Anyway, he can't pay it back, and there is still a father who is the governor."

Borrow it, you have to pay it back.

Mi Fang didn't know what the elder brother sold in the gourd for a moment, so why did he care about this little money.

"But, brother, Tao Envoy has separated from Tao Chongguang today. Tao Chongguang will soon return to the East China Sea. I guess Tao Envoy will not ask about his affairs in the future."

Mi Fang’s implication is that if you lend money to Tao Ying, you can only find Tao Ying or admit defeat, don’t make Tao Qian’s idea.

How could Mi Zhu not hear Mi Fang's meaning? He looked at Mi Fang and smiled, turned around, looked out the door, and sighed secretly.

"Silly brother, don't be fooled by Tao Qian's superficial article!"

There seemed to be a hint of disappointment hidden in the smile of the eldest brother Mi Zhu. Mi Fang's heart burst into pieces, staring at Mi Zhu's back, thinking a lot, thinking about what was wrong.

"The head of the family, the second son of the governor's mansion, has arrived at the door of the mansion and is waiting to see the head of the family."

Mi Zhu nodded to the butler, sorted out his undisturbed clothes, and turned around to remind Mi Fang who was stunned.

"Let's go, the second young master Tao is here. Brothers should not be neglected. Come out with me quickly."

When the two left the mansion, they saw Tao Ying holding his hands on his back and looking at the Mi Mansion Building with great enthusiasm.

"Mi Zhu met the second young master, who made the second young master visit the humble house, making the humble house shining brightly."

Although Mi Zhu looked down on Tao Qian's two sons, after all, the Tao was in charge of Xuzhou, so he still had to give him the face he deserved.

Besides, even if Mi is rich, she is just a merchant family. She has no capital to be arrogant in front of officials and gentry families.

"Mi Baek is full of energy and full of energy. I guess he will make money every day again in the near future?"

Tao Ying smiled and returned the greeting to Mi Zhu, and then looked at Mi Zhu secretly.

He is middle-aged, in his thirties, with a elegant appearance, a silk woven robe, gorgeous and neat, elegant and decent, and a spotless and clean.

"The second young master was joking. It was a small profit to do some small business. In addition, people ate horses and chewed around, bandits robbed everywhere. It would be good if they didn't lose money. As for making money every day, it was a luxury."

Tao Ying raised the money as soon as he opened his mouth. Mi Zhu said in his heart, he immediately raised his guard and spoke without any leakage.

"It's windy outside, please come inside."

Tao Ying sucked her teeth and thought to herself.

"Are the rich people worried that others would borrow their money?"

"Or, this Mi Zhu has guessed the purpose of my trip?"

After entering the hall, Tao Ying, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang sat down separately.

Mi Zhu changed his disdain for Tao Ying and looked at Tao Ying with a smile.

"The second young master asked his son to bring famous thorns and gifts today. Mi Zhu was both frightened and flattered."

"I don't know what the second young master wants Mi to do to do his best. Please just say something."

Since she already knew that Tao Ying had some intentions, Mi Zhu simply went straight and didn't plan to play Tai Chi with Tao Ying, a playboy.

Besides, in terms of intrigue, Tao Ying is not his Mi Zhu's opponent; even if Mi Zhu wins, he doesn't have any sense of accomplishment.

"Mi Bie has been in the business world for a long time, and has seen countless people, and his eyes are indeed as bright as a torch."

Unexpectedly, Mi Zhu is so upright, and Tao Ying is in the middle of his thoughts.

Tao Ying has not had much time today, and Tao Qian has given him an ultimatum to leave the house within a specified period of time. It is almost like leaving the house in vain. Before leaving Xia Pi, Tao Ying wanted to catch a few more Tao Qian's escape fish.

.

"No, make more good relationships!"

Therefore, Tao Ying didn't plan to go to the old fox and mushrooms with Mi Zhu, so he just went straight to the point. If he could, he would be able to do it.

"I guess I have already known some of the things that Tao Ying has come to my house today, because I have asked the head of the Mi family."

Mi Zhu stared at Tao Ying with bright eyes, and his heart was even more transparent.
