Chapter 26: Misfortunes do not go alone

The old pottery and Tao Mo have been separated for many years and have never been separated. This parting is inevitable.
The two sang with each other for a while. Later, the old Tao was reluctant to go on the road.
Mu Chun sees that Tao Mo's eyes are red and comforts: "Lu... Although the road is far away, the old Tao is going back to reunite with his old friend.
Tao Modao: "Since old Tao came to my house, this is the first time we parted. Without him, there might be no me today."
Mu Chundao: "It's a good thing that people are attached to each other. If they just rely on it, they're afraid that they will be self-defeating."
Tao Mo sullenly said: "I know. I will work hard to be a good official, and will not live up to the expectations of Lao Tao."
Muchun smiled and said nothing.
Master Jin suddenly hurried.
Tao Modao: "Master Jin, are you also coming to send the old pottery?"
Master Jin was stunned by him, "Send old pottery?"
Mu Chun didn't wait for Tao Mo to speak, and took the topic: "This is Master Jin, the master of criminals?"
Master Jin was stunned again, "This is..."
"In Xiamuchun." Muchun clenched his fists, "I don't know what is the so-called rush of Master Jin?"
Master Jin responded and hurriedly said: "The people of the Qiu family and the people of the Liang family have fought. They are now at the door of Tongfu."
Tao Mo wondered: "Who is Qiu House? Who is Liang House?"
Master Jin waved his hand and said: "I will elaborate on my way."
Due to the large number of passengers, Hao Guoguo specially drove out the carriage that the old Tao insisted on leaving.
Tao Mo, Mu Chun and Master Jin got in the car one after another.
Master Jin took a breath, and then came together, "Miss Qiu Er of the Qiu family and Liang Wenwu of the Liang family had a marriage contract two years ago, with Hong Geng as the basis. After the Liang family moved, the agreement must be Married to Miss Qiu Er in two years and passed the door. Unexpectedly, after two years, the Liang Jiahua sedan was late. Coincidentally, the Qiu family owed a gambling debt, and the head of the Qiu family was so bad. Decided to give Miss Qiu Er to Master Tong who was ready to accept concubine."
Tao Mo surprised: "Master Tong?"
Master Jin nodded and said, "It is Tong Yinghong's father."
Tao Modao: "But did he already have Mrs. Tong?"
"This was originally Tong Fu's private affair. I shouldn't discuss it privately," Master Jin paused. "But since the owner asked about it, I naturally know everything. Then Master Tong and Mrs. Tong have been upset since the death of Tong girl. Mrs. Tong had nowhere to go for decades, and the only heir of the Tong family died from his own death, so Mr. Tong moved his thoughts of marrying again. Although it was a concubine, I heard that there are no shortage of three books and six rituals, and it is Lift in from the main entrance."
Mu Chundao: "But the Liang family got the news, don't follow?"
Master Jin nodded and said, "That's the case. I don't know where the Liang family got the news. When they hurried to the Qiu family to discuss with the Tong government, they intercepted it outside the door and made all three disgraced."
Tao Modao: "Cui Dianshi?"
Master Jin said: "As soon as he got the news, he drove away with his government service."
Tao Mo was at ease.
By the door of Tong's house, the Qiu family had already returned. After all, they are women. If they make too much noise, the man has nothing, but the reputation with the woman is greatly detrimental.
The Liang family was still standing at the door of Tong's house, and looking at them, they were still not convinced.
When Cui Jiong saw Tao Mo getting off the bus, he quickly came over and said, "Sir."
Tao Mo always felt that his eyes today looked different from those of the past, but he could not tell the difference. He had to blame his enthusiasm. "What did the Liang family say?"
Cui Jiong said: "The Liang family wants the Qiu family to keep their daughter for another year."
"Stay for another year?" Tao Mo thought of Tong Yinghong and asked, "Do you know Miss Qiu Jia's Fang Ling?"
Cui Jiong said: "Nine out of ten."
Tao Mo frowned: "It is indeed not small."
Cui Jiong said: "So the Qiu House would not agree to anything. They said that unless the Liang family marries within three days, the marriage contract on that day will be annulled."
Mu Chun asked: "Do you know why Liang Fu has to delay one year?"
Cui Jiong glanced at him. When he saw that he was extraordinary, and he came with Tao Mo, he replied: "The Liang family said that Liang Wenwu was too old this year to be married."
Tao Modao: "Just for this reason?"
Cui Jiong saw him disapprovingly and said, "Many people in Tanyang County believe it."
Mu Chun smiled and said, "I also believe it."
"Oh? Where is the son?" Cui Jiong took the opportunity to ask.
Mu Chundao: "Master Tao and I are fellows."
Tao Mo wondered: "Really?"
Mu Chun said quietly: "Of course. Huh? This is Master Tong?"
Tao Mo and Cui Jiong turned back at the same time, and they really saw Master Tong coming out of it.
After Tong Yinghong's incident, Master Tong was disgusted with the consuls and the county magistrates. Moreover, this incident happened in front of his house, and he was very ashamed. Therefore, although he came out, he had a black face.
Cui Jiong knows the relationship between the Tong family and Mr. Yi hammer, and quickly smiled and said: "Master Tong, I don't want to alarm you anymore."
Master Tong said: "It's easy to talk. It's an old man's trivial matter that alarmed everyone?"
Cui Jiong said: "Where is Mr. Tong. What does this matter have to do with you? But it happened to happen at your doorstep."
This is what Tong Tong wanted, and the corners of his mouth finally rose, "Cui Dianshi, please take care of it."
"It must be." Cui Jiong kept busy and agreed.
Master Tong saw Tao Mo and hesitated, but came over and said, "Master Tao."
"Master Tong." Tao Mo asked as soon as he opened the door. "Does Master Tong really want to marry Miss Qiu Er?"
Master Tong's just clear face suddenly pulled down, Shen said: "I don't know what Master Tao said?"
Mu Chun had heard of Tao Mo's deeds before, and he thought the rumors were exaggerated. Now, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was amazed. On the prestige of a word, among the people he knows, only the master of the brilliant door can compare with him. But what is rare is that he didn't even realize it.
Tao Modao: "Ms. Qiu Er only has one and cannot be given to the two. I want to ask about the situation of the two and make a decision."
"Dare not bother adults," Tong said stubbornly. "We will resolve this matter ourselves."
"Who said don't bother adults?" The Liang family drilled out. "I'm going to sue this matter to the court, and ask the county's grandfather to decide!"
Master Tong frowned. The Tong family had been troubled by Tong Yinghong's affairs before. At this juncture, he didn't want to provoke trouble, just Miss Qiu Er... He remembered the beauty of the flowers and the moon in the portrait.
On the other side of the alley, there was the sound of a rolling roller.
Cui Jiong, who was arguing with the Liangs, suddenly ran over and pulled La Taomo's sleeve, whispering: "It's Yang's carriage."
"Yang Mansion?" Tao Mo did not respond for a moment.
"Mr. Hammer." Cui Jiong lowered his voice.
Tao Mo suddenly. Mr. Hammer's daughter's surname is Yang, and Mr. Hammer is naturally also named Yang.
The carriage stopped, but Gu She got off.
It's just that I didn't see it in one day, but Tao Mo looked at him with a kind of miss.
Gu She also saw him, glancing at Muchun very quickly, and finally fell on Tong Tong.
Master Tong now sees Gu She but has a headache, and because he dare not offend, he has to force a smile and greet him. "Gu Gongzi."
Gu She said: "Master heard that you want to accept concubine, specially asked me to send a few things over."
Master Tong knew his sister’s personality, and was afraid that she would come up with something that would make it harder for her to step down. Then she said, "Well, let’s talk inside."
Gu She nodded and said, "Alright."
"The young man waits for me." Gu Xiaojia jumped off the carriage and said with a frown, "What should I do with the bullwhip of this car?"
Gu She said: "Listen to Master Tong, go inside and talk."
Tong Tong's old face was flushed. Does this still need to go inside to say? Everything was clear in his call just now.
Mu Chun saw Tao Mo's eyes closely following the introduction of Gu She and Tong Tong, suggesting: "Let's go in and listen to what they say?"
"This does not invite you..."
"But ask the case." Mu Chun helped him find an excuse.
Tao Mo immediately nodded and said: "It should be." He lifted his foot to go, but a man from the Liang family called him, "Adult!"
