Little Xiucai's Flowery Love History

Chapter 26

Lao Gao failed to catch up with Hong Fei, so he turned around and went back to Zhao's house to ask Zhao Hua.Zhao Hua just smiled and said nothing.Lao Gao wondered: "What's the matter? Didn't you say he was your friend? Could it be that you kept it a secret?"

Zhao Hua said solemnly: "It's not a secret, he is from Liufeng South Pavilion. If you really want to find him, you can go there. But don't go there under the banner of being my friend. He is also a pitiful person. I just I just want to ask him some things."

Lao Gao bowed his head and thought for a while, "I'm going out tomorrow for business, let's talk about it when I come back."

When Zhao Tai came back, he brought a lot of clothes and snacks, such as fresh and interesting clay figurines, windmills, sweat towels, sugar figurines, grasshopper cages, braised pork knuckles, chicken necks, etc., all in a mess.Zhao Hua frowned and said, "He can't eat these things now, what are you buying this for?"

Zhao Tai slapped his head: "Oh, I forgot, forget it, let's eat it, and buy it for him in a few days." He took some food back to Zhao Xing and said, "You and Hu Zi will eat these. You don't need them at night. Here we come from the backyard." Zhao Xing took his things and went.Tao Linghua had no choice but to watch the delicious food as he couldn't eat it, his stomach was rumbling, and his saliva was about to come out.

Zhao Tai smiled and patted his head and said: "It's all my fault. If you are greedy with these, you will be able to eat in two days. I will take you out to eat. Let's eat enough!"

Tao Linghua also laughed.

In the blink of an eye, it was dinner time, and Zhao Hua filled half a bowl of stewed chicken soup for him to drink. He fished out some chicken and chopped it up, cooked a bowl of porridge with millet, and brought it to him.Tao Linghua wanted to eat more, Zhao Hua stroked his belly and said with a smile: "No, take your time, I can only eat this today, and I will give you more in a few days. Be good, I will cook you a lot of delicious food then Yes, you have never seen the famous food in Shanxi. I have learned from the chef of Yingbin Building, and I guarantee that you will want to eat everything on your tongue."

Tao Linghua swallowed and said, "Second brother, you're still greedy for me if you can't eat today."

Zhao Tai said while "snoring and snoring" while eating: "No, second child, you are really not kind, you said that I greedy him with delicious food, are you still different?"

Tao Linghua nodded.Zhao Er touched his head and smiled.

Zhao Tai put down the bowl, and suddenly said: "Today, two people came from the camp to inquire about Tao Tao."

"Uh, brother, why do you call me Tao Tao?"

"You and the second child's names both have Chinese characters, so it's not easy to separate them. I'll call you Tao Tao, and no one else is allowed to call you that!"

Zhao Hua clapped his hands and said, "That's a good name, I'll call you Tao Tao from now on."

Tao Linghua was embarrassed: "Second brother, I, I'm already seventeen, I'm not a kid anymore."

Zhao Hua was addicted to stroking his head, so he patted Tao Linghua again, and said with a smile: "No matter how old you are, we are all older than you. I didn't call you peach blossom."

Tao Linghua suddenly remembered that Mu Qi always called him Little Peach Blossom, reminded him of the past, and felt secretly sad, but seeing that they were all very happy, he had to pretend to be very happy, and looked up at Zhao Dao: "Okay, brother, go on .”

"Well, someone came to the camp to inquire about you. He said that a neighbor from your hometown brought a letter. I don't know if he is real or malicious, so I didn't tell him you were here and asked him for a letter. If I don’t give it, I said that I will hand it over to you. So, I will ask tomorrow. The man lives in a small shop near the government office.”

Tao Linghua knew in his heart that this was the arrival of the Mu Qi faction, but it had been more than half a year, shouldn't it have been forgotten long ago?How to send someone to look for it?

After thinking for a while, I still decided to meet, and said to Zhao Tai, "I want to meet. I'll know if I ask."

Zhao Tai nodded, and while packing up the dishes and going out, he said, "I'll bring that person to see you tomorrow. Don't be afraid, I'm here for everything."

After dinner, after a short rest, Zhao Hua changed Tao Linghua's dressing as usual. It had only been three or four days since he was able to get off the kang, and Tao Linghua was a little depressed. Uncomfortable, I just want to be able to work in the fields, at least not let others bathe and defecate.After all, these things are too private, and I'm not a child, so I can't accept it as if nothing happened.

Zhao Hua persuaded him while changing his medicine: "Tao Tao, don't think too much, when you recover, there will be good days, don't feel unhappy about this temporary disaster."

Tao Linghua: "Second brother, I..." He really wanted to say, can you stop calling me Tao Tao?

The next morning, when Zhao Hua went out to buy medicinal materials, Zhao Tai brought the man and entered the inner room. When Shi Li met Tao Linghua, he bowed and said, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Tao?"

Leaning on the high pillow, Tao Linghua reluctantly got up halfway, and said, "There is no need to be polite, I am Tao Linghua. Please sit down." This man looked like a man who knew martial arts, with a strong figure, but his face was full of weather. The long journey is very hard.

"Little Mu Ping is Lord Mu's servant. May I have a look at the token you are wearing?" The man was very cautious.

Tao Linghua wondered: "A keepsake? I only have a piece of jade pendant from Brother Mu here. Does that count?"

"Forget it, just take a look."

Tao Linghua took out the white jade pendant with five plums and flowers from his collar.

The man took it for a look, and took out one from his pocket to compare, it was exactly the same, it turned out that Mu Qi made two jade pendants, gave one to Tao Linghua, and kept one for himself.

After the comparison, the man returned Tao Linghua's piece, and said with a smile: "That's how it matches, I brought Master Mu's letter." He took out a sealed letter from his pocket and handed it over respectfully.

Tao Linghua took the letter, but before he opened it, he suddenly saw Zhao Tai looking at the two jade pendants on the table.Knowing that he was uncomfortable, but he had nothing to hide, so he opened the letter to read.Familiar font, thin and strong, familiar tone, very affectionate, but now things are different, Tao Linghua can only feel emotional.

After reading it, he said to Mu Ping, "Does your lord want to reply?"

Mu Ping nodded.

Tao Linghua smiled slightly at Zhao Tai: "Brother, can you bring me a pen and paper?"

Zhao Tai reluctantly went to the desk to get paper, pen and inkstone, and put it on the kang table.

Tao Linghua picked up his pen and wrote a few sentences before putting it down.Don't say you don't want to write more, you just don't have the energy to think about it.

Zhao Tai grabbed the letter paper and looked at it, and saw that there were only a few words of greetings, after which he hoped that brother Mu would be promoted in every step, that the whole family would be healthy, that his wife was safe, and that he no longer had to worry about himself.

Zhao Tai grinned.It seems that this person surnamed Mu is already married, so the chances of winning this love rival are not too high, but it cannot be taken lightly.

Mu Ping took the letter in his arms and said, "When we came, my lord ordered that we found Mr. Tao. If your life is not good, you can stay here to take care of you. If your life is not bad, you can take the letter with you first." Go back to Beijing and give it to him. Seeing that the young master is doing well now, the younger one will report back to Beijing first, and the adults will make arrangements later. Please don’t move away easily, otherwise it will be difficult to find you. If you move away, please stay Submit the information, and the little one will come again, and if I can’t find you, I will look for you in the camp again.” No matter how you move, you can find traces in the household registration, and you can’t run away.So Mu Qi is not particularly worried about this, as long as Tao Linghua is still alive.

Tao Linghua said: "No need. I'm very happy here. When you go back, just say that you don't need to bother him. You don't need to write any more letters. You've come to work hard, so you can stay for a few days before leaving."

Mu Ping said: "The little one didn't work hard, I've already rested, so I'm leaving now. I promise my lord that if I go back to Beijing, I will go back within two months. The young master will convey the words."

Tao Linghua handed over the jade pendant and said, "This jade pendant is a precious thing, please take it back and give it to Lord Mu."

"No, no, this is unnecessary." The man panicked for some reason, and hurriedly got up to leave.

Tao Linghua frowned, he didn't intend to pester him, and didn't want to keep him anymore, so Zhao Tai ordered Zhao Xing to send him out.

After sustaining for a while, Tao Linghua collapsed on the kang, leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes to rest.Zhao Tai came in, took a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Are you tired? Drink some water."

Tao Linghua shook his head.Zhao Tai put down his teacup and carefully sat beside him, and asked in a low voice, "What, Mr. Mu, what does it have to do with you?"

"It's nothing, it's just a neighbor when I was young. It's all over." Tao Linghua closed his eyes, still digesting what happened just now.The misery started from the time when Hu Lin was killed by mistake. Even though he jumped out of hell, how could he forget the pain he had suffered overnight?What's more, the scars all over his body have not disappeared, and the shameful beef is still left in his body!In the middle of the night, I dreamed that there were still evil spirits haunting me and asking for my life.

But forget it!Everything in the past is like dying yesterday.People always have to look forward, as long as they are alive, they have to live, and there are relatives at home looking at the door.Those who died in exile were not one or two. Being able to live by themselves was a blessing in the previous life, and we should not seek death or live for the sake of the past.Benefactor, even if I saved myself, I would not wish to be depressed again.Thinking about it, I am really lucky. To meet these two people in the misery of the world of mortals, it is probably because they burned high incense in the previous life.

After three days of porridge, Tao Linghua could finally eat some easily digestible staple food and dishes like steamed buns.There is nothing else in Shanxi. There are many kinds of pasta, which are both beautiful and delicious. Zhao Hua hired an old lady who can cook to help the cook, and he also learned a few skills.After all, what the chef teaches is no better than the home-cooked meals cooked by the common people.This old lady is very good at cooking, especially good at local snacks, she cooked more than a dozen kinds in a row, although there were not many of them.But the people watching are dazzled.

Tao Linghua sat on the kang and looked at each of them, opening his mouth wide.Southerners eat rice, and some pasta are noodles at most.

Today these noodles, even if they are steamed and souped for better digestion, the mouth is still watering.The most beautiful thing is the flower roll, which is exquisite and delicate, and can be plated in various styles. How can such a small and beautiful thing be eaten?And there are many kinds of shapes of the light rolls, such as chrysanthemums, peonies, plum blossoms, and various small animals, such as little tigers, little rabbits, little dragons, little horses, little chickens, little pigs...press them with small dates. Eyes on the head.Tao Linghua couldn't help laughing just looking at it, like a child.

Zhao Hua sighed in his heart: How long has it been since this child had a good meal?

But after eating two flower rolls and half a bowl of soup with cat's ear noodles, Zhao Hua stopped and refused to let him eat, Tao Linghua was extremely unwilling.Because they are very familiar, I really see these two people as relatives, and I really want to eat, so I learn to be coquettish, smiling and rubbing against Zhao Hua, begging to eat more.Zhao Hua is stern and selfless, no matter how much he smiles like a flower, he is determined not to eat it.Tao Linghua's little head drooped, pretending to be angry.Zhao Hua saw through his little thoughts at a glance, secretly amused, and ignored him.Seeing his own Tao Tao rubbing against his younger brother, Zhao Tai was so jealous that he wanted to please him with another bowl, but he also knew that it should not be overdone, so he had to find other ways to recover the loss.

Not to mention that Zhao Tai was secretly planning his own little calculations, Tao Linghua encountered an extremely embarrassing incident the next day.
