"Why is Mi Zhen here? Why is she here? And she wants to see me by name? Why? Could it be that the last time we met, my charming masculine charm has made her lovesick and she can't help it. It's really

I can’t bear the pain of missing you, so you came secretly to have a tryst with me today and confess your love?! Oops! Should I prepare a handful of roses? And prepare a box of Durex or Alshu?”

Full of dirty thoughts, Tao Ying rushed into the back garden of his house and went straight to the small lake in the garden. He couldn't wait to look into the pavilion, and saw little sister Mi Zhen leading two maids. Sure enough, she was in the pavilion.

Waiting. It was July, and the lotus flowers were in full bloom in the pond. Mi Zhen, who was sitting idle and bored, stood by the pavilion admiring the flowers. The flowers were red and the leaves were green, and the beauty was more beautiful than the flowers. The flowers were beautiful, and the people were even more beautiful. It was poetic and picturesque.

Seeing this dream-like scene, Tao Ying couldn't help but stop and stood by the pond quietly admiring this rare beauty. But unfortunately, the maid Mi Zhen brought soon discovered Tao Ying's

existence, whispered a few words next to Mi Zhen's round and small ears, Mi Zhen immediately raised her head, smiled at Tao Ying, and the whole pond was filled with lotus flowers, but there was no color at all.

Deputy Director Tao, who had already practiced so well that he was not afraid of humiliation, blushed a little, and his heart was beating like a 17- or 18-year-old boy. He laughed to himself that he was shrinking back more and more. Tao Ying tried his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

, pressed the hilt of the sword, walked onto the pavilion bridge in what he thought was the most chic posture, strode up to Mi Zhen, clasped his fists and saluted Mi Zhen in a coquettish way, and said: "Tao Ying has seen Miss Mi Zhen, let her wait for a long time."

Already."

"Young Master." Mi Zhen also bowed to Tao Ying with a blushing face, and said nervously and shyly: "Mi Zhen took the liberty to come to visit. I'm sorry for my disrespect. I hope you will forgive me."

"What Miss Mi said is that Tao Ying should be far away and welcome it." Tao Ying suddenly hated the red tape of this era - if it were in the 21st century, Deputy Director Tao would definitely be hands-on and full of dirty talk.

Loud.

Mi Zhen smiled shyly, her face turned redder, and her mood was far more nervous than Tao Ying's. She didn't know how to continue the conversation for a moment. Deputy Director Tao, who had never had a mistress in this era, didn't know how to seduce a good woman in the Three Kingdoms era.

, for fear of saying the wrong thing and wasting this golden opportunity, so they didn’t know how to continue. The two of them froze, and the atmosphere became awkward. However, the two maids brought by Mi Zhen pursed their lips and snickered, looking at Tao Yinghe.

Mi Zhen's expression seemed very interesting.

I don't know how long it took to remain in this stalemate. Mi Zhen finally plucked up the courage to speak. She turned to the two maids she had brought with her and said with a blushing face: "Cherry and Wintersweet, please stay away for a moment. I have something to say.

Talk to Mr. Tao alone." The two maids looked at each other and deliberately refused to leave. The smiles on their faces became even bigger. It was not until Mi Zhen raised her small fist to threaten that the two maids ran out of the pavilion with a sweet smile. Mi Zhu's tender face

It was also red to the root of my neck.

After a long time, the two maids disappeared deep into the flowers, and finally only Tao Ying and Mi Zhen were left near the pond. Mi Zhen also felt a lot more relaxed, and she mustered up the courage to ask, "Master Tao, why don't you invite me?"

Would you like to sit down for a while, little girl?”

"Ah!" Tao Ying finally came to his senses, quickly waved to the seat in the middle of the pavilion, and said with an awkward smile: "Miss Mi, please sit down, has the tea turned on? Should I ask the servants to make another pot of tea?"

"Thank you, sir." Mi Zhen blushed and nodded, then shook her head and said, "There's no need for tea, I'm not thirsty."

As she said that, Mi Zhen lowered her head to avoid Tao Ying's staring eyes, walked to the table and sat down. Tao Ying also quickly sat down opposite Mi Zhen, sitting across the table from Mi Zhen, with a pair of lustful eyes.

No matter what she said, she refused to move away from Mi Zhen's face and chest. Mi Zhen became even more shy when Tao Ying looked at her. She quickly turned her face away and looked at the lotus in the pond, avoiding Tao Ying's scorching gaze.

She said in a polite and soft voice: "Sir, I took the liberty of visiting you today. I have a few words to say to you. I would like to ask you not to blame me for my rudeness."

"Girl, there is no need to be polite. If you have anything to say, please say it directly. Tao Ying is all ears." Tao Ying replied, glancing at Mi Zhen's bulging chest.

"That little girl is being presumptuous." Mi Zhen nodded, opened her mouth and was about to speak, but her tender face suddenly turned red to the root of her neck. After hesitating for a long time, Mi Zhen asked shyly in a mosquito-like voice: "May I ask, sir, yesterday at noon

, my little girl’s brother, Mi Zhu, is here to visit Mr. Tao Mansion?”

"It's true." Tao Ying nodded and admitted.

"Then..., that..." Mi Zhen blushed even more and hesitated for a long time before asking a complete question, "What do you think of the matter that the little girl's brother mentioned to Mr. Tao Mansion?"

"Don't mention it to my father?" Tao Ying was confused.

Mi Zhen was extremely surprised, but she was even more shy. She didn't dare to turn around and look at Tao Ying's expression. She just said softly and shyly: "Master, Mi Zhen is a woman. It's really inconvenient for her to speak. Why should I pretend to be ignorant and play with my little girl?"

"I really..." Tao Ying wanted to say that I really don't know, but when the words came to his lips, Tao Ying suddenly felt something in his heart. After rolling his eyes, Tao Ying asked tentatively: "Miss Mi, are you

Do you want to ask about the marriage proposal?"

Mi Zhen was completely ashamed. After being shy for a long time, she mustered up the courage to nod slightly and whisper: "When I first heard about this, Mi Zhen couldn't believe it. She thought it was...a joke. But last night, my brother also

After I mentioned this to my little daughter, I realized... it was not an empty lie."

"Your middle-aged brother rejected my father's proposal of marriage, and you came here to talk about it. What do you mean? Do you want to laugh at me for wanting to eat swan meat?" Tao Ying was even more confused, but Tao Ying could see it.

, Mi Zhen is definitely not the kind of woman who doesn't know where the world is from. She refused to marry her and even came to slap her in the face. So after Tao Ying thought about it for a while, he asked tentatively: "Dare you ask me, girl, Mi Biejia?"

How was this brought up to you?”

Mi Zhen couldn't move her neck any longer, so she simply turned around, lowered her head as hard as she could, hid her blushing face in her arms, and said softly: "My brother didn't say it clearly, he just... just said that he wanted to marry his daughter...

Promise to Xuzhou, an upright hero... a hero..." Before she could finish her words, Mi Zhen was so embarrassed that her little hands turned pink.

"Big-eared thief!" Tao Ying was shocked, knowing that what he least expected to happen was finally going to happen! While being angry, Tao Ying suddenly felt something in his heart, "Mi Zhu's second and fifth son is planning to take away sister Mi's beauty.

Why did Sister Mi come to tell me about marrying a big-eared thief? Does it mean that Sister Mi has me in her heart and not the big-eared thief? "

Thinking of this, Tao Ying hurriedly asked: "Miss Mi, what do you think? Do you agree?"

"Young Master——!" Mi Zhen was so embarrassed that she simply turned around and turned her back to Tao Yingjiao: "Young Master Tao, you are a well-known gentleman in Xuzhou, how can you ask such a question to your little girl? Since...since ancient times, marriage has been a major event.

"It's all the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. The little girl's parents died early, so she relied on her brother to raise Mi Zhen. Brother...brother...how...how did I decide? Do I have a say in it?"

Tao Ying was completely confused. He thought to himself: Why is this sister Mi talking so cluelessly? What exactly does she mean? As a deputy director who has been involved in officialdom and love affairs for several years, why can't I understand at all?

After waiting for a long time without seeing Tao Ying's answer, Mi Zhen replied that Tao Ying was also shy, so she asked in a low voice: "Sir, my dear daughter, if you..., I would like to ask again, Mr. Tao Mansion, is...do you agree..."

, My brother’s proposal of marriage? Promise to let..., let the young master, you..., marry my daughter? "

Although the last few words of Mi Zhen's words were so low that they were almost hard to hear, when they were heard in Tao Ying's ears, they were far more shocking than a bolt from the blue! In shock, Tao Ying blurted out and asked: "Where are you?

Did you hear that?”

"Sister Ling'er told me." Mi Zhen plucked up the courage and said, "Yesterday evening, sister Ling'er visited me at home, told me about the incident, and congratulated me. At first, my daughter thought that sister Ling'er was joking.

But when I saw that Sister Ling'er looked wrong, and later my brother mentioned my daughter's marriage, I just... realized that Sister Ling'er was not joking."

"Ah!" Tao Ying almost didn't cry out, and finally figured out the whole story - Cao Ling's Jurassic dinosaur must have told Mi Zhen that Mi Zhu came to his home yesterday to ask for her

Tao Qian, the father of Tao Qian, proposed marriage to Mi Zhen and wanted to marry him. Then, in order to pave the way for Mi Zhen to marry Liu Bei, Mi Zhu told Mi Zhen that he would marry Mi Zhen to an upright hero in Xuzhou. At the same time, he also

Mi Zhen was not told the name of this hero, so by some mistake, Mi Zhen thought that Mi Zhu wanted to marry her to her.

"Is there such a coincidence in the world?" Tao Ying wanted to laugh out loud, but Tao Ying still had two important questions that he was not clear about. One was how could Cao Ling's female dinosaur say that Mi Zhu was planning to marry Mi Zhen to him?

?Second, after Mi Zhen heard the news, why did she take the initiative to visit her? This is completely inconsistent with the common sense of this era?

"Miss Mi, can I ask you a few questions?" Tao Ying didn't understand, so he simply asked: "Miss Cao Ling, how did she learn about this?"

"Sister Ling'er said that she had also heard about it." Mi Zhen continued to turn her back to Tao Ying and said very shyly: "It seems to be a girl named Lin, but Mi Zhen has never seen this girl Lin.

"

"Lin Qing?" Tao Ying immediately woke up and almost laughed out loud. He thought to himself that this little girl Lin Qing has such a quick mouth. If he made a little joke with her in the afternoon, it would immediately reach Cao Ling's Jurassic line.

In the evening, it reached the ears of Miss Mi. She really has a talent for spreading rumors. Ha, but I should really thank her, at least she can help me find out what Miss Mi is thinking.

"That's it." Tao Ying nodded with a smile, and then asked curiously: "Miss Mi, I dare to ask the girl again, why did she deign to come to the door today?"

Mi Zhen did not answer immediately, but slowly turned her body, and the blush on her tender face faded a lot, and said very seriously: "Master Tao, I am here today to ask you a question. I hope you can

Answer truthfully.”

"Girl, please ask, I will answer truthfully." Tao Ying quickly nodded solemnly.

Being stared at by Tao Ying, Mi Zhen's little face became a little hot again. She couldn't help but lower her head, looked at her legs and said, "I would like to ask the young master, does he have a place for sister Cao Ling in his heart?"

"Why are you asking this?" Tao Ying was confused again and thought to himself, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" I'm afraid no one would dare to take that Jurassic dinosaur except Marquis Lu Wen, who is not taboo about meat and vegetables.

"Young Master, Sister Cao Ling is interested in you, Luo Hua." Mi Zhen said softly: "Last evening, when Sister Cao Ling told me that incident, her eyes were red and swollen. I could tell that she had cried for you and was also hurt.

It goes through my heart.”

"Please spare me!" Tao Ying wanted to complain loudly, thinking that the dinosaur was interested in me, Luohua, wouldn't it cost my life? Even if she looks a little more normal and has an ordinary appearance, considering her old age

Since my father is my father's number one lackey, I can also consider a political marriage with her, but if she looks like that, how do you expect me to marry her?!

"Actually, it wasn't just last night, I also discovered it before." Mi Zhen didn't notice Tao Ying's strange expression, she just lowered her head and said softly: "I used to be with her, and every time she mentioned you, she had nothing good to say.

, they are all scolding you and laughing at you, but I know that she hates iron and has a deep love for you. Last night, her expression made me even more worried. I was afraid... that she would do something stupid.

"

"Kill me!" Tao Ying cried even more bitterly in his heart.

"Mr. Tao." Mi Zhen said softly: "My daughter came to visit me just to ask me whether he has any intention for Sister Cao Ling in his heart. If so, I would like to quit and let you two have lovers.

We finally get married."

"How is this possible?" Tao Ying said unbearably: "Miss Mi, you are worried about this for nothing. I have only met her once, and we directly rejected her father's marriage proposal. How can we be together?"

Mi Zhen finally raised her head, stared into Tao Ying's eyes, and asked softly: "Master Tao, do you really think so? Sister Cao Ling's character and appearance are a hundred times better than my little daughter's, and she is deeply affectionate for you. How can you really bear it?

Are you ruthless to her?"

"Cao Ling is indeed a good girl." Tao Ying said something to Mi Zhen against his will, and then bravely stretched out his hand to hold Mi Zhen's white and tender hand on the case, and said affectionately: "But Ruoshui Sanqian

, I only took a spoonful to drink. Miss Mi, I’ll tell you the truth, I have been deeply in love with you for a long time. Apart from you, there is no place for any woman in my heart."

Mi Zhen's young face turned red again, but Mi Zhen did not react as fiercely as Lin Qing, and immediately broke away from Tao Ying's clutches. She just lowered her face in shyness and asked softly: "Master, what you said is true.

Of?"

"It's absolutely true! Tao Ying has this heart, heaven and earth can learn from it, and the sun and moon are proof!" Tao Ying held Mi Zhen's little hand and asked: "Miss Mi, let me ask you one last question. Your brother asked me for you.

What do you mean by proposing marriage?"
