At that time, he thought that the other Xu family members were too lazy to go out because they were tired from traveling, but who knew that he was naive.
The other Xu family members that day went to inquire about the noble ladies and noble brothers in the capital!
The Xu family's awesomeness doesn't just end here.
A few days ago, the Xu family asked Xu Ying to ask Li Qiao when he was going to visit Mr. Zhao Youzhi. They wanted Xu Ying to visit with him and wanted Xu Ying to make her presence felt in front of Mr. Zhao.
I want Xu Ying to show her face in the wealthy families in the capital.
They felt that just because of Xu Ying's face, even if he failed to pass the imperial examination, there would still be noble girls and noble brothers willing to marry him.
The Xu family was so crazy that it really pissed him off.
Xu Ying was also furious to death.
It was the first time he saw Xu Ying getting angry. Xu Ying pushed his uncle and brother out of the courtyard with a stern face, then locked the courtyard door from the inside and did not interact with them for several days.
Xu Ying ignored them, but she couldn't stop them from coming to her door.
well!
Soon, Tao Zhu prepared lunch, and just as he said, he took the meal to the main room to eat with Shen Hua.
Seeing this, Li Qiao immediately said that he didn't want to eat mutton either, and he entered the main room with his rice bowl.
Shen Hua looked envious. Although Xu Ying was very fond of him, Xu Ying could not let go of the Xu family...
"How about I go back? I'll stay here so you can't eat mutton," he said.
"It's okay. It's just a dish of mutton. You can eat it at night." Tao Zhu put the chopsticks into his hand: "Try this sausage. It's spicy. It tastes good."
After arriving in the capital, Tao Zhu circled around the kitchen all day, making all kinds of food such as grilled sausages, fish balls, fish tofu, and pork balls.
Today's lunch was very sumptuous, including various grilled skewers, cold pork head, braised pork, sweet and sour pork loin, white rice, hot and sour egg soup and pork rib soup made by Shen Hua.
Shen Hua loved grilled sausages. When Wangyue Tower introduced grilled sausages, he had to eat them every day. Looking at the grilled sausages and grilled fish, tofu, potatoes, mushrooms, gluten, pork belly and other skewers on the table, he swallowed. Swallowing, he picked up the chopsticks.
Forget it, he is not polite to his Brother Zhu.
When he took the fragrant grilled sausage into his mouth, he gave Tao Zhu a thumbs up, delicious!
Seeing that his mouth was bulging, Tao Zhu smiled, and while taking the hot and sour egg soup that Li Qiao served him, he asked, "You have been worried these past few days. What did the Xu family do?"
"It's okay, I just want Xu Ying to divorce me."
Shen Hua said nonchalantly.
"What about other than that? I think it's more than that."
Tao Zhu observed Shen Hua's expression and felt that something was not simple.
Seeing this, Li Qiao picked up the rice bowl without changing his expression, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth with rice.
He and Xu Ying are neighbors, and his study is next to the courtyard painted by Xu Yingchen, so he really didn't eavesdrop on purpose.
He was concentrating on swimming in the ocean of knowledge, but the Xu family had loud voices and mentioned his name, so he heard it.
But at this time he could only pretend not to know.
This matter was too embarrassing. Of course Shen Hua would not tell it. He shook his head with a smile: "There is really nothing else to do. Brother Zhu, don't worry. You eat quickly. After you finish eating, I will tell you about my newly made clothes. They are beautiful." ”
"You also make a suit, and it will definitely look good on you. Although Brother Qiao is already obsessed with you and can't take his eyes away, but if you put on the new set of clothes I designed, Brother Qiao will definitely be obsessed with you even more." .”
Tao Zhu: "..."
"Brother Hua, you must have a good talk with Brother Zhu later. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I will go outside to find the embroiderer and ask her to quickly make a set for Brother Zhu."
"Brother Zhu is already good-looking. If he puts on new clothes, he will definitely look as good as a fairy coming down to earth."
Li Qiao swallowed the rice in his mouth and said with a smile.
Tao Zhu: "..."
He glared at Li Qiao, but his eyes were curved. In addition to a smile, there was also a trace of shyness.
What nonsense are you talking about in front of others?
"No problem, Brother Qiao, just wait until Brother Zhu, the immortal man, descends to earth!" Shen Hua patted his heart and promised, the clothes he designed are really good-looking!
Tao Zhu: "..."
His cheeks felt a little hot.
What kind of fairy man is not a fairy man? He knows what he looks like.
However, seeing Li Qiao staring at him and smiling happily, he couldn't help but laugh too, and expectations arose in his heart.
It's been a long time since he and Li Qiao had little fun like putting on makeup and Miracle Bamboo Brother. The Chinese New Year is coming soon and Li Qiao will relax a bit. He wants to play with Li Qiao.
Just after lunch, Xu Ying came.
He took Shen Hua back.
Shen Hua looked at the red bloodshot eyes, pursed his lips, and took the initiative to hold his hand.
In the past, Shen Hua complained about him and hated him, but now Shen Hua felt a little pity for him. The Xu family had invested too much expectations in him and treated him as a tool. It was really terrible to meet such a family member.
However, thinking of Baiyou's warning to him not to pity men or he would become unfortunate, Shen Hua gritted his teeth and swallowed back the question that came to his lips.
He is not from the Xu family, why should he care about the trouble between the Xu family and Xu Ying.
Xu Ying just needs to be nice to him.
If Xu Ying doesn't tell, then he won't ask.
What matters is that he is happy.
Thinking like this, after returning to his and Xu Ying's yard, he and Xu Ying stayed together for a while, and then came to Tao Zhu with his newly made clothes - although he hated the Xu family, he really liked Xu Ying. Ying, Xu Ying held him in her arms and kept kissing him and calling his name. It was difficult for him to resist this temptation.
The new clothes made by Shen Hua are indeed good-looking. Although they are jackets, they are waist-cinched, so they can fully reveal Tao Zhu's slender waist.
Tao Zhu was very satisfied.
Li Qiao was also very satisfied.
"Then let's go to the cloth shop to find an embroiderer later. If we give her more money, we should be able to get her out on New Year's Eve."
Tao Zhu said to Shen Hua.
Hearing this, Li Qiao looked at the dark sky and said, "How about we go there later."
"You don't study anymore?" Tao Zhu was a little surprised.
"I want to go to the bookstore." Li Qiao said.
When acting, you have to do a complete set. You can't just immerse yourself in reading. You have to go to the bookstore and look through the books. This way he will find excuses for doing something new.
"Sure." Tao Zhu had no objection.
Shen Hua naturally had no objection.
So a quarter of an hour later, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu put on thick cloaks and left the courtyard.
In addition to a lively main street in the north of the city, there are also several smaller streets with shops on both sides. Li Qiao, Tao Zhu and the others searched three cloth shops before they found an embroiderer who could catch up on the work.
I bought fabrics in a cloth store, kept Shen Hua's clothes for reference, and paid a deposit. Then the couple went to the bookstore.
By the time the two of them came out of the bookstore, it was already dark.
And there was heavy snow falling.
It's snowing again.
People were hurrying on the street. Li Qiao stuffed the two books he bought into his arms, wrapped his cloak tightly around his body, and walked back slowly with Tao Zhu.
When we arrived at the yard where we lived, the snow had already dyed the whole world white.
There was such a snowfall two years ago, which adds a lot of freshness to the New Year. However, sweeping the snow is also very laborious. The yard is paved with blue bricks. If the snow is not swept away, the yard will be completely covered with snow after the snow melts. It's water.
Therefore, when I get up the next day, the first thing I do is clear the snow.
It snowed heavily in the middle of the night and was two feet thick. It took a lot of effort for Tao Zhu to push the courtyard door open. After pushing it open, he picked up a shovel and prepared to shovel a path to make it easier to go out.
However, as soon as he dug in with the shovel, there was a crisp "ding" sound immediately, and he frowned.
This sound is wrong.
He carefully dug out the shovel snow, and a bit of black cloth was exposed, which was in sharp contrast to the white snow, and the snow next to it was also stained with a little red, like blood.
Tao Zhu: "..."
He grabbed the shovel and hurried back to the yard to find Li Qiao.

The author has something to say:
Tao Zhu's opportunity can only be his~
Chapter 103 Sheng Ye saves people
Li Qiao is studying in the study.
Li Ershan and Li Xia were sweeping the snow in the yard.
Tao Zhu walked quickly to the study, reached the door, put down the shovel, and opened the door and went in: "Li Qiao, there is a man lying at the door, buried in the snow, with blood on his body!"
"..."
Li Qiao put down the book in his hand and walked towards the door: "I'll go take a look."
Blood on you?
It was just dawn, and they were the only family in the entire alley that had their courtyard door open.
Li Qiao stood at the entrance of the courtyard and first looked to the left and right. His eyesight was better than ordinary people. Although it was not bright yet, he could clearly see that there was only snow and no footprints in this alley of more than 200 meters.
He turned his gaze and looked at the person lying on the ground.
Tao Zhu had just dug up an area as big as a cattail fan, and black clothes were exposed. Next to it was a piece of snow about the size of a palm that was stained red with blood.
Looking at the finger-thick snow on the man's body, Li Qiao squatted down, dug through the snow with his hands, and dug out the man's head in a few strokes.
