Compulsory education in ancient times

Tao Xiaomei pursed her lips tightly, pulled her hand out of the matchmaker's hand, and whispered: "I always listen to elder brother."

When the matchmaker heard this, she became anxious immediately, and grabbed Tao Xiaomei's hand tightly: "How can this be done! Your elder brother is unreliable, you have to think about your own lifelong affairs!"

The matchmaker was too strong, and Tao Xiaomei couldn't break free, and her hands were red from being pinched.Fortunately, Tian Da, who was just a few steps behind, noticed something was wrong, and rushed over to break the matchmaker's hand away, and said angrily, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't touch your hands."

"Oh, aren't these the five boys of the Tian family?" The matchmaker knew the single women in the surrounding villages very well, and recognized Tian Da at a glance, "I just want to say something decent to my little sister."

"We have nothing to say." After Tao Xiaomei finished speaking, she turned and ran home.

Tao Xiaomei is angry!

Tian Da saw Tao Xiaomei's tightly pursed lips and slightly wrinkled brow just now, and he didn't care about the matchmaker, so he hurriedly followed.

As soon as Tian Da entered the door, he saw Tao Jianran and Tao Xiaomei standing opposite each other. Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere seemed a little strange. He didn't know whether he should say hello or not.

On the contrary, Tao Jianran saw Tian Da coming, smiled and said: "Tian Da is here too, let's have dinner together tonight, I brought back a lot of delicious food from the town."

Tian Da Na Na nodded, and looked at Tao Xiaomei worriedly.

Tao Jianran naturally also noticed Tao Xiaomei's abnormality. She rushed in just now, and after calling out "big brother", she just stood there without saying a word.Could it be that someone bullied Tao Xiaomei during his absence?Thinking of this possibility, Tao Jianran frowned, and patted the little girl's shoulder lightly: "Let's go back to the room and talk."

Tao Jianran took Tao Xiaomei back to his room. Although he hadn't come back for a month, the room was cleaned up very clean.Tao Jianran moved a chair for Tao Xiaomei, while he sat on the edge of the bed, and said softly, "What's going on? Tell Big Brother?"

Tao Xiaomei tugged at the corners of her clothes with both hands uneasily, looked behind Tao Jianran with unfocused eyes, and frowned tightly, as if she didn't know what to say.

Tao Jianran was anxious, but he didn't urge her.

quite a while.

"I met a matchmaker at the door." Tao Xiaomei's voice was a little hoarse, but she started talking, and finally she could continue, "Brother, do you plan to let me get married later?"

It turned out to be this.Tao Jianran immediately felt relieved, it's not as good as being bullied.But this is not a trivial matter, Tao Yanran nodded with a serious expression: "And I hope you can find someone you like each other and get married, even if you never find someone you like, it doesn't matter, even if you find someone you like all your life, I miss you too Force yourself to marry others casually. No matter what happens, my brother and I will be by your side."

When Tao Xiaomei heard the words, she couldn't digest the meaning of these words for a while.

This year, her little sisters are getting married one after another.Usually when she went out alone, a woman would always come over to inquire about her marriage, and kept persuading her to hurry up.If it was half a year ago, Tao Xiaomei might think that what they said made sense, but since she started to read and write, another voice gradually emerged in her heart.

Tao Xiaomei still remembered what Tao Jianran said to her back then, she still wanted to go out to see how big the outside world was, and to see more scenery outside of Lejing Village.She didn't want to marry a man she had never met before, and then be trapped in a square for the rest of her life.

But she wasn't sure, whether Tao Yanran still remembered those words, or just said them casually.After all, those thoughts were too shocking, and Tao Xiaomei dared not mention them to anyone.

Seeing that Tao Xiaomei didn't respond, Tao Yanran continued: "Brother won't interfere with who you fall in love with, but I hope you can be responsible for your own life. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me. Don't be fooled by those brats easily. But even if you encounter inhumane situations, your elder brother is your most solid backing, and we will make up if it’s a big deal!" Although he can’t loudly advocate equality between men and women outside, for his little sister, Tao Yanran still hopes that she can become a thoughtful and An independent woman with great ability, these words cannot be said to others, but he thinks that Tao Xiaomei should know his true inner thoughts.

"Brother..." Tao Xiaomei looked at Tao Jianran's concerned expression, and suddenly felt that her entanglement was ridiculous. The elder brother has always loved her so much.

Thinking of this, the emotions that had been suppressed all this time suddenly surged out, and Tao Xiaomei made a move that had never been done before.

Tao Jianran patted the back of Xiaomei Tao who was crying in his arms, and said softly without tires: "Don't be afraid, brother will always protect you. If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me, and I will always stand behind you. "

"Brother..." Tao Xiaomei choked up while crying, "I don't want to get married."

"Okay, okay, then we won't get married. After the summer vacation next month, you can go to Yuezhou Prefecture with me. There will be a primary school in Yuezhou Prefecture next semester, so you can just go to school there. Then directly Keep all the matchmakers out of the door, out of sight, out of mind!" At that time, the No. [-] Primary School will open grades one, two, three, and three, and Tao Xiaomei and Tian Da can directly enter the third grade.

Tao Yanran waited for Tao Xiaomei to calm down before they left the room.As soon as they opened the door, they saw the worried expressions of Tao Xiran, Tian Da and Pan Wenshan. Only Du Kaiyu looked like he was hanging around, and he seemed particularly out of place!

"Cough, it's okay, let's go eat." Tao Jianran turned sideways to help Tao Xiaomei cover her red eyes from crying.

The three brothers and sisters of the Tao family, Tian Da, two teachers, and five shadow guards were happily having dinner together, but His Royal Highness, who had been shopping around Yuezhou Mansion all day, was not at all happy.

"I've searched for everything, but haven't found it?" Qi Jingqi looked at the man in black with his face covered in front of him. Although she was very angry, she had to lower her voice, her whole face looked extremely ferocious.

The man in black was very respectful to Qi Jingqi, and replied in a low voice: "I have checked all the suspicious places in the palace. I have also visited the study that Si Qin mentioned. Although there are many treasures in it, they are not imperial items. The warehouse in the palace I have checked many times, and they are all ordinary money and food, nothing unusual." The man in black is obviously Gui Jiu who kidnapped the piano player.

During this period of time, Ghost Nine has not left Yuezhou Mansion, but instead searched Prince Xian's mansion up and down several times, but did not find any trace of the Imperial Treasure.

Hearing this, Qi Jingqi frowned.It is one of his plans and the most effective to let Ghost Nine find the Imperial Treasure, and then steal or destroy it, so that the auction cannot proceed normally.If you can't find the Imperial Treasure now...

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Where will Qi Bohan hide the imperial treasure?" Qi Jingqi pondered for a while before saying, "Go to the auction building and check. I will send people to search for other suspicious places in the city. "

After Gui Jiu took the order to leave, Qi Bohan immediately received the report from the hidden guard.

"Master, Ghost Nine has left and is heading towards the Imperial Treasure Building."

"Keep an eye on it, don't startle the snake." Qi Bohan looked solemn, and took out an inconspicuous cloth bag from a hidden compartment in the study, "Give this to Jianran, there is a letter inside, he will understand after reading it. "

Early the next morning, Tao Jianran received the package.

When I opened it, I found that there were two small jade bottles the size of a palm, a finger-thick bamboo tube with two transparent ends, a small sealed bamboo tube that I don't know what it is, and a lead wire, a fire folder, and a bamboo tube under the bamboo tube. Take the dagger!

The handle of the dagger is made of wood, polished to a very rounded shape, and there are a few dents that fit the fingers. Tao Yanran feels that it fits perfectly in his hand, as if it was tailor-made for him!The scabbard is also made of simple wood, if the knife is out of the sheath, it looks like a piece of ordinary wood that has been polished.

But with a slash of the knife, a cold light flashed across.Tao Jianran's eyes lit up, this is much easier to use than Si Qin's flashy one!It seems that there should already be a prototype of Baisteelmaking?

Tao Jianran thought, and opened the last thing in the package, which was a letter.

After reading the letter, the smile on Tao Jianran's face faded immediately, and he found a place where no one was around, and hid the things Qi Bohan sent into the system space.

That night, Ghost Nine returned without success again: "I didn't find any secret passages in the Yubao Building, and there are only some idle items in the warehouse."

When Qi Jingqi heard this, a hint of sternness flashed in his eyes: "In this case, we can only wait until the eve of the auction." No matter where the imperial treasure is, it must be transported to the Imperial Treasure Building before the auction. What accidents will happen on the way? , you can't blame others!

But there are still too many variables in this plan. Qi Jingqi is not limited to this trick. It is not harmful to have more backups, so he ordered Gui Jiu: "That Tao Jianran, you go and bring him out, and I will send someone to come out." Accept you."

Gui Jiu led the order to leave, dodged left and right in the dark night, and quickly threw off the hidden guards sent by Qi Bohan.

On the second night, under the cover of darkness, Ghost Nine sneaked into Tao Jianran's room.The people on the bed seemed unaware of the imminent danger, but the hidden guards all jumped out and forced Gui Jiu out of the door. One of the hidden guards even took time to send out a signal flare.

Ghost Nine thought they were calling their companions, and they didn't want to fight, so they fought and leaned into the room.Naturally, the hidden guards will not let him get what he wants, but they can't do anything to his opponent!Ghost Nine struggled with the dark guards for nearly a stick of incense before realizing something was wrong.They were beating so loudly that no one else was woken up, and no one arrived?

The thought only flashed in his mind for a moment, and Gui Jiu immediately realized that he had been tricked!Immediately unwilling to fight any more, he retreated decisively.
