An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

The girl tilted her head slightly and smiled angrily, "Are you so sure I'll come?"

Tao Jin said it very confidently. She really liked this little girl: "Of course!"

As if realizing it belatedly, Yin Chunxi asked him, "You haven't been in Jiujiang County for a long time, have you?"

But after thinking about it, he shook his head: "Your letter was sent from Yamen Village."

Tao Jin's letter was enclosed in his grandfather's letter and was definitely not sent from Jiujiang County. That is to say, Tao Jin was still in Yamen Village when the letter was sent.

Looking at Jing Chunxi's expression with a bit of realization when he asked the question, he looked ignorant and cute.

Tao Jin smiled: "I had already set out when the letter was sent, but I deliberately bypassed Jian'an County and came to Jiujiang first, just to see you. I've only been here for three days."

Jing Chunxi smiled knowingly: "So you guarded the city gate for three days?"

The young man nodded slightly, admitted it generously, and said, "Yes."

Seeing Jing Chunxi still staring at him with a silly smile, Tao Jin continued to tease him, "Why, I came all the way here to find you, and you let me just stand there?

I came here before daybreak today. I wanted to come over to say hello last night, but I was worried that you were too tired.

Worry about scaring you."

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, then looked at Ah Qi, who was still only seven or eight steps away from him, still worried. Knowing that he was also listening attentively, he said with a look of grievance, "I'm also worried that I can't escape your guards."

"Seventh Uncle, this is Young Master Tao. He's a familiar figure, and he's very familiar with my grandfather and uncle."

Seeing the young lady say this, and seeing July and September, who had already appeared, their faces were full of surprise, as if they had seen their relatives, Ah Qi finally felt relieved. He bowed respectfully and called out, "Master Tao, I am sorry for the impoliteness."

Seeing Tao Jin smiling and nodding slightly at him, he stood up straight and turned to go to the front yard.

Tao Jin was led to the main hall and sat down. Tang Shuang wanted to go forward to serve him, but was stopped by Jing Chunxi.

He only let Chuntao, Tangshuang, July and September come forward and bow. After a few words, Tao Jin waved his hand to signal them to leave.

Jing Chunxi personally poured a cup of hot tea for Tao Jin and handed it to him, saying gently, "This is the tea I brought from the capital. Try it."

Tao Jin took the teacup and took a sip. The tea was fragrant and sweet.

He put down the teacup and looked at Jing Chunxi gently: "The tea is very good. It seems that you are having a good time back in the capital."

Jing Chunxi smiled awkwardly: "I'm good at everything, but practicing is really tiring."

Tao Jin: "But you've made a lot of progress, haven't you?"

Finally, with a smile in his eyes, he said jokingly, "Very capable! You even dare to lead the team on a long journey."

"Are you here to collect the china and tea as well?"

Jing Chunxi was a little curious about the purpose of Tao Jin's trip.

If his purpose was the same as hers, then wouldn't the two of them become rivals in business? Tao Jin could have simply not written that letter to reveal it to her. Wouldn't one more competitor mean one less source of income?

Tao Jin looked at the girl who was looking at him with a look of scrutiny, as if feeling guilty. He then picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and said, "I won't compete with you for business."

After a pause, he continued, "I'll mainly stay in Jian'an County and will leave in two days."

Tao Jin didn't say what he was going to Jian'an County for, and Jing Chunxi didn't ask, but he knew that he was no ordinary person.

Tao Jin looked at Tang Shuang and Chun Tao who were still standing at the door. With just a glance, Chun Tao hurriedly asked Tang Shuang to go out and closed the door considerately. Tang Shuang was still a little reluctant. It was really rare to see an acquaintance, and this acquaintance had helped her save the young master several times.

After everyone left, Tao Jin said after a while: "Jiujiang County mainly produces porcelain, while Jian'an County has more tea, but you can't buy it on the market, and you can't ship it out."

Jing Chunxi listened patiently and carefully, knowing that Tao Jin must have more and more accurate information than her at this time.

Tao Jin was very happy to see the little girl's full trust in him. He took out a folded paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Jing Chunxi.

When he opened it, there were only a few lines of words. Jing Chunxi didn't understand what it meant and looked at him with a questioning look.

Tao Jin added, "All the information we've gathered over the past three days is here. You've got it for free."

After saying this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he continued, "Under the coercion and inducement of the government office, the smaller porcelain factories in Jiujiang County could no longer hold on, and many porcelains were forced to be sold to the government at low prices. In name, the county and prefecture offices collected the money, but in reality, there were people behind the scenes fanning the flames."

Jing Chunxi suddenly thought of the news that Feicui had heard, and blurted out, "Is it the prince?"

Tao Jin looked at Jing Chunxi in surprise, and was surprised to find that she was not that stupid. Such secret information might not be known to anyone except the county magistrate.

He nodded slightly and asked, "Your news is pretty fast."

But I didn't ask her how she got the news.

But Jing Chunxi did not want to hide it. At this time, it would be easier to accomplish great things if information was exchanged and there was mutual benefit among people who could be trusted.

He gave a brief account of the close correspondence between the Taifu Mansion and the prefects of Jiujiang and Jian'an counties, and even mentioned the word "pirate" that he had overheard.

He also mentioned that Chu Xuan was not affected by the Fourth Prince's incident and even married the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Seeing that Jing Chunxi didn't show any sadness or emotion when talking about his father, Tao Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Tao Jin had a general idea of ​​what Jing Chunxi mentioned, he was still relieved because he knew that the little girl would not be bullied and he obviously had his own ways of bargaining.

Jing Chunxi found him a little amused when he suddenly stopped talking, and said, "I think I forgot to tell you that my brother and I not only have the surname Jing, but we have also severed our ties with the Marquis' Mansion."

Tao Jin said "hmm", as if he was not surprised, as if this was the right thing to do.
