Chapter 191: The Origin of the County Cheng

Li Hua'er took the tea and sat quietly on the chair, watching how the shopkeeper Ke circled around the room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After discovering that Shopkeeper Ke's face gradually changed, Li Hua'er knew that he had made up his mind.

Sure enough, I heard the shopkeeper Ke say: "Have you ever said these words to others?" ”

Li Hua'er put down the teacup and shook her head: "No, I didn't even dare to say it to my parents, for fear that they would worry." ”

Shopkeeper Ke hugged his stomach, looked at Li Hua'er's innocent expression, sat back in his chair, and asked, "Are these things really found out by you alone?" ”

Li Hua'er had expected that Shopkeeper Ke would ask this question.

She nodded firmly: "Yes, do you remember what I said when you first told me?" This thing is full of all kinds of weirdness, since they have all asked us to rebuild the house, just let us do it together, and what are you doing with Carpenter Jia? What happened to the girders? Why did it become my uncle who also repaired the yamen? That's why I've been paying attention. ”

Saying that, Li Hua'er paused slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed: "At first, I really thought I thought about it too much, but it didn't." ”

Li Huaer's piles are counted carefully, her speed of speech is faster than ordinary people, and she is articulate and clever, which is naturally very convincing.

Shopkeeper Ke also believed her words a little.

After all, this girl has real skills.

Think about what has happened since she got well, everything is full of ability, but no matter how capable, in the end she is just a child, in addition to paying attention to things herself, Shopkeeper Ke doesn't think she has any ability to raise some "spies".

That's not ability, it's a monster.

Yes, Ke shopkeeper bowed his head and said: "It's really a good thing that Hua'er can be so careful, but today's words, you don't tell anyone, and when I arrest the thief and try it, there will naturally be justice." ”

Li Hua'er knew that the shopkeeper Ke had no suspicions, so she also put her mind at ease: "Yes, the shopkeeper can rest assured, but the things on the construction site can't be stopped, so as not to be discovered." ”

Ke shopkeeper understood: "This is natural. ”

With that, Shopkeeper Ke sat back in his chair.

The Qi guy knew the opportunity on the side, hurriedly poured a cup of tea, and said, "Shopkeeper, why don't I go check Tiesheng first?" ”

Shopkeeper Ke held the teacup, thought for a while, and said: "Don't go, you still go in and out of the yamen with Li Hua'er in the past few days, and act like you have nothing to do. He sneered, "Now it's time for me to go and sit in the shop in the state capital, make way for some people, and let them show their feet." ”

Li Huaer thought so.

The matter of repairing the county government is a major matter, and the Qi guy is one of the most powerful guys around the shopkeeper, so he naturally has to stay on the construction site so as not to arouse suspicion.

Thinking about it, she reminded again: "But this matter, I'm afraid it has something to do with Tao Xiancheng, uncle still has to be careful." ”

The round face of the shopkeeper Ke finally showed a different kind of banter.

"Big niece, you have to know, who is not as reliable as two or three people behind a business person like me?" Shopkeeper Ke said with a deep face, "It's just business, everyone has their own ability, and they don't want to owe people such favors." ”

Li Hua'er smiled lightly, this is also something that has been thought of a long time ago.

If there is no backer behind Ke's shopkeeper, Tao Xiancheng probably doesn't need to use such a troublesome method.

She thought for a moment, and then said, "Speaking of this Tao County Cheng, there is something I'm curious about. ”

Shopkeeper Ke held the teacup and glanced at her: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Hua'er asked, "What is his relationship with the Tao family in our village?" In the past, I only heard that there were people in Mrs. Tao's family who were related to the Yamen, but I had never heard that the Tao family was also related to the Yamen, so it couldn't be the same surname for marriage, right? ”

……

This matter, since Li Huaer knew about Tao Xiancheng, she was very curious.

You must know that the dynasty is not allowed to marry with the same surname.

But she also hadn't heard of any relatives in the Tao family in this county.

If there were, according to the gossip of the people in Qinghe Village, she should have known it a long time ago.

The people in the village all say that Mrs. Tao is the daughter of Xiucai, and they all envy the Tao family for having such a good family.

Shopkeeper Ke smiled: "You don't know this, it's normal." The surname Tao is also a big surname in our Pingshui Prefecture, Tao County Cheng is the Ye Qiu Tao family, and the Tao family in your Qinghe Village may have been related many generations ago, but now there is no kin. ”

Yeqiu City is the seat of the Pingshui Prefecture.

Li Hua'er suddenly asked, "Then he and Mrs. Tao are related?" ”

Shopkeeper Ke continued: "Your Tao lady's maiden name is Qu, and Tao County's mother is Tao Da Niang's aunt. Qu Laoxiu and Tao Xiancheng's father were classmates back then, but when the two of them rushed to take the exam together, Master Tao took a step forward and became a lifter, and Qu Laoxiu landed. However, the relationship between the two has always been good, and Master Tao also asked Qu Lao Xiucai's sister as his wife, and the two had an only son, named Tao Min, which is now Tao County. ”

Shopkeeper Ke said, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and continued: "Yeqiu Tao's family is a little thin, and when it comes to Master Tao's generation, there is only one family left, just Tao Min was a seed of reading when he was a child, so Master Tao pinned his hopes on him, who knows, Tao Min grew up to fifteen years old, and after winning the show in the first exam, Master Tao and his wife were happy, so they traveled with their family, but accidentally capsized on the river, and only Tao Min was rescued. ”

Shopkeeper Ke said, showed a smile, and asked rhetorically: "Guess who is the person who saved Tao Min?" ”

Li Hua'er was only stunned, and immediately said: "It won't be, our Tao family in Qinghe Village, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Ke smiled: "It is the old lady of your Tao family in Qinghe Village." It is precisely because of this section that when Miss Qu reaches the age of seventeen, she will get married. It's just that because of the falling into the water, Tao Min's health is not very good, so he did not continue the exam, but stayed in Qingyuan County, first became a master, and then became a county leader, until now. ”

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Ke sighed: "Speaking of which, it was more than 20 years ago. ”

Li Hua'er heard this, and also sighed in her heart.

Speaking of which, Tao Xiancheng is also a person with a rough background, and he won the show for the first time, and he is also a person with a bit of learning.

Pity...... It's crooked.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he took another sip of tea, and then said a little angrily: "Speaking of which, the reason why I am clear about these things is because when I opened a shop in Pingshui Prefecture with my father when I was a child, I also had a neighbor with the Tao family for more than a year, and the relationship between the two families was also good, but I didn't want to ......."

When Li Hua'er heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately, I also understood why Shopkeeper Ke was so angry.

It is said that he is also an old man, but he is so calculated, how can he not be angry. (To be continued.) )
