Huang Yong has been spoiled by Huang Zu since he was a child. He looks very similar to Huang Zu in terms of appearance and personality, which is very popular with Huang Zu. In addition, he has been diligent in practicing martial arts since childhood and has developed a strong martial arts skills, which makes Huang Zu look at him differently. .

Although Huang Yong has a bad temper and cruel heart, Huang Zu didn't care at all. He was the same when he was young. After this age, after he reached the age of 30, he would gradually become sensible and learn to control himself.

So Huang Yong was pursuing Tao Zhan like crazy, and Huang Zu did not interfere too much. As long as Huang Yong did not marry Tao Zhan as his wife and was a concubine, he would not care.

But today, Huang Zu regretted it for the first time. He shouldn't have indulged his son so much, which led to him being unscrupulous and ignoring the consequences. It is very likely that his foundation will be destroyed in the hands of this rebellious son.

Seeing that his son was staring blood red, like a beast, Huang Zu swung his arm again, slapped Huang Yong hard again, and roared like thunder, "If you dare to touch a hair of him, I will peel you." Skin!"

Huang Yong had never seen his father be so angry, and finally felt a little timid in his heart. His arrogance was knocked down, and he lowered his head deeply and said nothing.

Huang Zu knew that with his son's mind, he could not understand the complex official struggles, and he did not want to explain it to him. He waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to take him away.

"Lord, do you want to continue to detain the young master?" asked the personal soldier Bo Chang in a low voice.

Huang Zu was a little upset. He wanted to rush to Xiakou immediately and urge Xiakou to station troops. How could he feel relieved to put this troublemaker in Chaisang? After thinking about it, he said, "Send him to Wuchang and let his brother be good." Just keep an eye on it and say it was my order and he would not be allowed to go out!"

Several personal soldiers took Huang Yong down, and Huang Zu took Cai Mao's letter and read it again. Liu Biao was ready to go, but he didn't know what action he would take against Jiang Xia next. At this moment, Huang Zu was anxious and he wanted to immediately Hurry up to Xiakou to deploy.

Liu Jing’s residence in Tao Mansion is located in the northwest corner of the East Courtyard. It is an independent courtyard. More than a dozen subordinates, including Wang Tai, live together in this courtyard. There are not many distinguished guests who can enjoy the treatment of the individual courtyard. In addition to Liu Jing, there is only Liu Cong who represents the provincial governor to celebrate his birthday.

The yard where Liu Cong lives is not far away, only a few dozen steps away from Liu Jing's courtyard. After lunch, Liu Jing took a nap for half an hour and was fully nourished. He was going to start practicing martial arts in the evening. He has been delayed on the road these days. Already anxious.

"How long will the young master be in Tao Mansion this time?" Xu Shu sat aside and asked with a smile.

Liu Jing stretched his waist and smiled, "I don't know how long I will stay. The key is when my uncle will allow me to return to Xiangyang?"

"Actually, what I mean is that if possible, the young master should stay as long as possible and establish a friendship with the Tao family."

Liu Jing looked at Xu Shu with some surprise. He knew that Xu Shu was not the one who spoke casually. This morning, he was like Huang Yong, and he didn't say a word. Now that he suddenly mentioned the Tao family, he must have some advice.

"Yuan Zhi might as well say it clearly."

"I talked with Manager Zhao for a while this morning, and I realized that the Tao family is so powerful. Maybe he is talking about it. The Tao family has more than 30 large warehouses in the riverside area along the east river, with grain and salt business in Jiangdong. It was done very much, and although the specific number was unknown, it still shocked me deeply."

Liu Jing nodded, "From the Tao Mansion alone, I think they are just an ordinary wealthy family. They are very low-key, making people unable to believe that they are the richest people in the south, and they are rich enough to rival a country. This is also theirs. Smart and helpless."

"Young Master, I mean, one day in the future, the young master will take Jiangxia as his foundation. So what benefits can the Tao family bring to you?"

Liu Jing stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring out of the window from afar, and did not speak for a long time. Xu Shu continued: "The Tao family is very smart and spreads its wealth all over the place. Even if it occupied the Tao Mansion, it would not be able to get wealth. Only let Tao

The mansion was willing to take it out, which is why I advised the young master to establish a friendship with the Tao family."

Liu Jing still didn't say anything, but his eyes became deeper.

.

In the afternoon, a carriage drove out of the North Gate of Chaisang, and then turned around and headed west. On both sides of the carriage, in addition to Liu Jing's dozen subordinates, there were hundreds of sword-bearing servants from the Tao Mansion. Tao Zhan had been Tao.

The key protection of the home is that Huang Yong was still in Chaisang in the morning, so the Tao family was extremely careful.

Liu Jing followed Tao Zhan's carriage and left the city. Tao Zhan was silent all the time. Liu Jing also felt Tao Zhan's emotional changes. Her emotions seemed to be very low. Liu Jing did not disturb her. He felt that her emotions were not.

It seems to be related to her mother. Liu Jing had already learned the details from Xiao Baozi at noon.

A maid who served Tao Zhan's mother returned from her hometown to visit relatives and fell ill soon after. Tao Zhan's mother and two other maids also fell down one after another. The maid who fell ill at the earliest was dead. The Tao family discovered it in time and isolated Tao.

Zhan’s mother and two other maids.

But these days it was Mr. Tao's birthday, and there were many people paying homage to him. The Tao family was afraid that something would happen, so they sent three patients to a monk temple in the west of the city to isolate. It was a monk temple supported by the Tao family. Tao Zhan's mother was more than once.

I have practiced in the Buddhist temple, and this time I hope she can get the blessing of the Buddha.

The journey was safe and without any harassment. After walking for about ten miles, a Buddhist temple appeared in a bamboo forest ahead. Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains during the Eastern Han Dynasty and gradually became popular. However, it was not completely accepted by the people at the end of the Han Dynasty. It was just

The upper class believed it, and it was not until the Southern and Northern Dynasties that Buddhism began to become popular on a large scale.

The Tao family is also one of the few Buddhist families in Chaisang. They built two temples in the area of ​​Chaisang, one located in the south of the city, and worshipped more than a hundred monks.

Another one is located in the west of the city. It is a monk temple. More than a hundred Buddhist monks practice here, but they have not become monks and do not live in the temple for a long time. They just come here to stay for a while during their practice, including Huang Zu's mother sometimes

I will come here to practice, and usually only a few female believers guard the temple.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the temple. Tao Zhan came out of the carriage and whispered to Liu Jing: "My mother is sick and lives here temporarily and has someone to take care of."

Liu Jing sighed in his heart. He probably had some kind of infectious disease and isolation was the right thing to do, but as long as the isolation was effective, it would be okay to live in the mansion. Moving out of the mansion will have a great physical and mental blow to the patient.

The Tao family should be afraid of infecting the customer, so they moved her out. Moreover, Liu Jing knew that as long as she did not contact her directly and washed her hands in time, there was actually no big problem.

Tao Zhan whispered again: "I didn't agree, but my father said it was my mother's intention. My mother believed in Buddhism and she hoped to get the blessing of the Buddha, so I agreed."

Liu Jing changed his mind and said that this was not bad. Restoring illness in a Buddhist temple is also a psychological comfort for believers.

"Let's go! Let's go in and take a look."

Liu Jing accompanied Tao Zhan into the Buddhist temple and came to a small courtyard where seven or eight maids were serving him. They happened to meet a doctor. Tao Zhan hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, how is my mother's condition?"

”

The doctor smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The situation has not worsened, but I suspect it is typhoid fever. I have suggested that Ling Zun go to Changsha County to invite Zhang Taishou as soon as possible, so I don't know if Zhang Taishou has time."

Zhang Prefect of Changsha County, also known as Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the late Han Dynasty, had a very high medical skills, especially his unique ability in treating typhoid fever. Last fall, he became the prefect of Changsha County.

It was Zhang Zhongjing's efforts that made the people of Jingzhou understand some common sense, such as if they were isolated immediately when they found an infectious disease, which invisibly saved many lives.

Liu Jing said from the side: "Do you want me to go to Changsha and invite Prefect Zhang? He should give me this face."

"No need. My grandfather was an official in Nanyang County in his early years and had a deep friendship with the Zhang family. As long as his father wrote a letter, he would definitely come." Speaking of this, Tao Zhan looked at Liu Jing gratefully with a look.

.

"Young Master, please wait outside. I'll go see my mother and come back."

Tao Zhan walked quickly to the yard, Liu Jing walked out with his hands behind his back, for a moment, Tao Zhan walked out quickly, his eyes red, and he whispered: "Young Master, can you come in? My mother wants to see him

you."

Liu Jing nodded silently, walked into the yard, followed Tao Zhan into the room. The light in the room was dark, full of the strong smell of medicine and pungent lime. The corners and the ground were covered with lime. Two maids stood beside the wall,

Try to endure the stimulation of lime.

The window was deliberately covered with cloth, and a thin layer of gauze curtain was covered on the bed beside the window. A woman was lying in the gauze curtain, with a thin face, her eyes were sunken deeply, her face was sallow and without a trace of blood.

,,Although she is seriously ill, she can still see her beauty when she was young.

Tao Zhan took two steps forward, knelt down in front of her, held her hand, held back tears and whispered: "Mom, he is here."

When Huang saw Liu Jing, he showed a gratified smile in his eyes. Liu Jing also walked forward and knelt down in front of the woman to salute, "Aunt!"

The woman's hands trembled and reached out to him. Liu Jing hesitated for a moment and also held her hand. The woman patted the back of his hand, pulled Tao Zhan's hand, and held the two of them tightly together, tears from her

Eyes surged out.

At this time, Tao Zhan was shy, sad, and a little embarrassed. She just told her mother what she thought, and did not say what Liu Jing's attitude was, but her mother didn't care about so much and forced them to do so.

Hands put together.

Tao Zhan suddenly understood her mother's heart. She knew that she could only like people soon after she was alive. No matter who she was, she would entrust herself to him. This is the biggest wish of being a mother. At the last moment, she didn't want to

I felt wronged by my daughter.

Tao Zhan came from the sadness, and tears rolled down, "Mom!"

The woman touched her daughter's face again, and she suddenly looked at Liu Jing. A kind of light burst out from her turbid eyes, with endless expectations. Liu Jing understood the woman's gaze and he slowly pointed.

Nodded and gave her a solemn promise.

Huang smiled, his eyes full of love. Liu Jing bowed to her, got up and slowly retreated.

When he walked out of the room, Liu Jing breathed a long sigh. He suddenly understood why Tao Zhan took him to visit his mother, just to let her mother look at him before leaving.
