Chapter 118 Return to Tao Mansion
Li Jiancheng looked at Tao Jin being led out of the hall door, and a cold light appeared in his eyes. If he was not dead like this, I would underestimate you! Li Jiancheng thought to himself.
Li Yuanji did not notice Li Jiancheng because his eyes were following Tao Jin at this time. Li Yuanji's eyes also had an unkind light. Tao Jin didn't know that he had offended two of the three legitimate princes in the Tang Dynasty overnight.
Tao Jin won a great victory in this so-called gambling game, and Li Shimin also gained some face. However, Emperor Li Yuan did not recognize the few words that Empress Dou said in front of the emperor, but made him think deeply.
It was about to be big. Tao Jin returned to the restaurant, and the ingot had already prepared New Year's clothes and other things for Tao Jin.
Although this is not as beautiful as the palace, it has a unique tranquility. Tao Jin sighed deeply, knowing that as soon as the emperor's imperial edict was released, he would probably have lost his restless life on the first day of the New Year.
Because the second day of the Chinese New Year was the day of sacrifice set by the Tao family. Because Tao Jin's father of the Tao family was a businessman, he believed that the second day of the Chinese New Year was the day to receive the New Year's fortune.
So the Tao family put the most solemn celebrations on the second day of the lunar month. Although the Tao family drove away Tao Jin, the emperor issued an order. Tao Jin became the head of the Tao family, so naturally it was inevitable that he would go back to take charge of the overall situation in the second day of the lunar month.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Tao Jin welcomed some famous merchants in Chang'an City. Although those words were to celebrate Tao Jin's current achievements, they were asking whether Tao Jin would have to join the business with Tao Mansion if he returned to Tao Mansion.
Now, the Tao Mansion owes a lot of money due to the problem of money turnover, so these people are here to pay New Year's greetings, but after all, it's just to see if Tao Jin can pay back the debts for the Tao family.
Tao Jin is a personal talent, and he will understand if these people make a little talk. However, Tao Jin hated him so much, why can't this good thing fall on him? Tao Jin has made such a mess for him, but in the Tao Mansion, the second wife, the second master, and Tao Ran almost turned white.
They knew how they treated Tao Jin. Now the emperor's imperial edict can kill them. I think if Tao Jin returned to Tao Mansion, he would let them go easily.
Not to mention them, even the elders in the ancestral halls were panicked after hearing this news. After all, they betrayed their conscience for money.
This is what they are struggling with, and time has not stopped because of their distress. Then the second day of the New Year still came to face the morning sun.
Tao Jin put on his clothes and took Yuanbao out. Who knew that as soon as he reached the door, he saw Yuchi Gong standing outside the door.
"You are back to Tao Mansion now. I, the eldest brother, want to accompany you. Wouldn't you not welcome me?" Yuchi Gong said slowly with a faceless face.
Tao Jin felt a little excited, knowing that his elder brother was cold and heart-warming. He was afraid that he would not be able to suppress those people at the Tao family, so he came here deliberately with him.
"Of course, I can't let my brother down!" Tao Jin pressed the touching in his heart and said slowly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a few more voices came from there.
Tao Jin turned his head and saw that it was Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others. These people were standing there with their horses, as if they were waiting for people.
Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly: "Brother, after all, we are brothers, and we are doing business together now. Today, we will go to your place, won't you not welcome me?"
Qin Qiong and others didn't say anything, but Tao Jin knew that they were all here to hold his feet. Because Tao Jin's caring people around him, except these people, only Yuanbao.
Although Yuanbao is loyal to Tao Jin and is now a piece of material, it was from the Tao Mansion. Now Tao Jin has an imperial edict, but he is less confident. If he really wants to face those shameless guys, it will be a bit less popular.
Now that these generals with outstanding military achievements are accompanied by Tao Jin, let alone confidence, they have all kinds of energy. This way to the Tao Mansion, it is indescribable.
The second wife was afraid that Tao Jin would attack her and Tao Ran, so she thought of giving Tao Jin some advice today, so she deliberately got up early and didn't even let a servant go to the door.
Tao Jin arrived at the majestic gate. He knocked for a long time, but he didn't see anyone. Cheng Yaojin was a handsome man. Seeing this, he looked at the vermilion gate and asked, "Brother, are you the Tao Mansion now?"
Tao Jin had already understood what Cheng Yaojin meant and nodded. After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin kicked the door without saying a word.
Cheng Yaojin was a general. Although the door was strong, he couldn't stand his hard kick. He heard a muffled sound behind the door, and there was a sound of someone falling to the ground.
It turned out that there was not someone behind the door, but someone deliberately pushed the door and pretended not to hear Tao Jin knocking.
The second wife originally made this arrangement because she wanted to kill Tao Jin's majesty, but she didn't know that Tao Jin came with these ancestors who fought war.
When Cheng Yaojin heard a sound behind the door, the sound became louder and shouted: "So there is someone, I think they are all dead!"
It would be undoubtedly unlucky to say this during the New Year. Before Cheng Yaojin could kick it again, the person came out. The person came out was not someone else, but the second wife was radiant.
The second wife has been listening to the news not far from the doorman. When she heard the sound of kicking the door, she felt panicked. When she heard the sound of her hearing, it was someone else's, she immediately understood. Tao Jin came with her helper.
The second wife became more and more angry, thinking that if there was any problem, it was all about Tao. Now that he invited an outsider, it was wrong, so when the door was opened, she didn't do anything, but put it on the score first.
If this person comes with Tao Jin, it is from ordinary families or scholarly families, so it will naturally be the second wife. Unfortunately, this person comes with Tao Jin, it is the devil king of the world, and a Cheng Yaojin with a bad idea.
The second wife stood at the door, and she had no attitude. Others could tolerate it, but Cheng Yaojin couldn't bear it at all and rushed over angrily.
When the second wife saw a black tower rushing towards her, she was busy retreating to the servant behind her.
In fact, the second wife didn't know that Cheng Yaojin was chasing her just to scare it. Seeing that she retreated, she hurriedly asked Tao Jin: "Brother, why is the Tao family still raising a madam during the Chinese New Year!"
Tao Jin laughed in his heart, but said calmly, "Brother Cheng, this is the madam, that is the second wife of the Tao Mansion!"
The second lady blushed and whiter, and looked at Tao Jin's eyes becoming more and more resentful. Tao Jin knew that there must be a tough battle to fight today, so he made some preparations in advance, but it was only time. At this time, seeing Cheng Yaojin's majesty of killing the second lady like this, the anger in his heart had disappeared a little, so he said to the second lady: "Today, Tao Jin is here!"
Although I didn't say this too plainly, I clearly told the second wife that I am the head of the Tao family now. The second wife twisted her body and didn't want to let it go. Yuanbao over there couldn't help saying, "Second Madam, now the young master is the head of the family!"
Yuanbao spoke to remind the second wife, but the second wife turned her eyes hatefully and said, "The head of the family? Even the head of the family must have rules. Is it so unqualified to see the elders!"
Tao Jin touched the red painted gate, stroked it for a while, and raised his eyes and said with a sharp look: "The Tao family drove me out, and now the emperor has made me clear. The Tao family is now my Tao Jin. After all, you are just a concubine of my father. What right do you have to shout here! Don't forget, as the saying goes, a concubine and half a maid!"
Tao Jin was extremely rude. Even if Mrs. Ren was very thick-skinned, she couldn't bear to eat and wanted to scold her.
The generals around Tao Jin here are all powerful characters, and with the elder brother Yuchi Gong, he actually put the weapons he carried with him on the ground.
This voice hit the second wife's heart. No matter how powerful the second wife is, she is just a woman. She couldn't help but cry in her eyes: "Now you have grown your skills, and you actually brought a group of people here to show off your power to me, a woman!" After all, she still didn't want Tao Jin to enter the Tao Mansion.
But now that's not that she doesn't want to, that's fine. Tao Jin said coldly with a cold face: "The emperor's will, now I am the head of the Tao family. Do you want to resist the order like this?"
This second wife, who was like fried dough sticks, made Tao Jin unable to help but scold him. After all, he couldn't twist his thighs. Tao Jin walked into the Tao family's door with the generals, but he didn't even look at the second wife.
The second wife thought of intimidating Tao Jin, and she could have a good life, but she didn't expect Tao Jin to bring so many helpers and make a comeback. Not only did she not get any benefits, but she was also insulted, and she felt even more unhappy.
