Chapter 75 Tao Zongwang's love
In June, it enters the hot season of the year, but Liangshan is not very hot because of the embrace of 800 miles of water and the shade of the mountains and trees, but it is an excellent place to escape the heat.
After bidding farewell to Xu Zhi County in Yuncheng County, Gu Haotian returned to Liangshan, and he finished explaining the affairs outside one by one, and calmed down to study poetry. He seems to have returned to the life when he first came, getting up early for a morning jog, practicing martial arts, then studying scientific examination books, taking a nap in the afternoon, and then choosing a topic to do a strategy and discussion, and then going to ask Mr. Wen for guidance in the evening.
After a few days, Gu Haotian found the way to write policies in this era, coupled with the accumulation of more than 1,000 years of knowledge, he naturally has a wider and farther vision, and sees problems more accurately and sharply, so his strategy often amazes Wen Huanzhang.
What Gu Haotian didn't expect was that he found that his memory was unusually good, and he had almost reached the realm of unforgettable. He thought about it and felt that either the thunder and lightning during the crossing had stimulated one of his potentials, or it was caused by the elixir of the Two Immortal Mountains. But it's a good thing, he just has to enjoy it with peace of mind.
"The poems and books on the pillow are good, and the scenery in front of the door is good." It is the best portrayal of his current life. On weekdays, I read poetry and books at home, and occasionally I would go to Liangshan Restaurant with my brothers to indulge in my feelings and drink wine, and my life was very comfortable.
Summer evening, the sunset, the afterglow is still there, the heat is gone, the cool breeze is coming, it is the most beautiful time in Liangshan summer, whenever this time, Gu Haotian will always take Pan Jinlian, or Bian Xiang them, and sometimes go to the street with his family to take a walk to eat.
The market in Houshan is now decent, and the District Affairs Department rents out the shops along the street at low prices, so all kinds of shops have opened one after another. The most is all kinds of snacks,
There are currently nearly 7,000 people from Hebei, Yishui, Jinling and Yuncheng on the mountain, who have brought the food of their hometowns to the market on the mountain. And since the people on the mountain changed their salaries from kind to silver, each family has an income of at least three or five taels of silver per month, so they are willing to spend money. So every evening, all kinds of small shops are full of customers.
Every time Gu Haotian walks here, he can't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. In more than half a year, a barren mountain has become a bustling street market, but it has evolved little by little with his own efforts, and in his eyes, this place is like a child who has watched it grow up, and has a flesh-and-blood connection with him.
In the evening of that day, Gu Haotian sat for a while in Dr. Gao's Rejuvenation Hall, and then took Pan Jinlian for a walk along the street. Leijia ironware shop and Ruan Ma fish head soup are the two newly opened shops on the mountain. The ironware shop was opened by Lei Heng's parents, and these two people only knew the general iron-making skills, so the ordnance workshop on the mountain did not recruit them, but Lei's mother had a business mind and opened a shop on the street, specializing in the sale of production and living utensils, and the business was also good. The fish head soup was because of a joke made by Gu Haotian when he ate fish head at Ruan's house that day, but Ruan's mother took it to heart when she heard it, and rented a shop on the street a few days ago, not wanting to be prosperous.
"Little official, how can you be free today, come in and sit down, just taste the fresh fish soup." When Ruan's mother saw Gu Haotian and the two, she greeted them warmly.
"I haven't tasted the fish soup of the mother for a long time, and this will be a blessing." Gu Haotian didn't shirk either, and went in with Pan Jinlian.
Ruan's mother's store is not small, there are more than ten tables on the first floor, and there are elegant seats on the second floor. At this time, there were already many diners in the store, Ruan's mother brought two bowls of fish soup over, and asked the two to go up to the elegant seat on the second floor, but Gu Haotian found a window seat in the lobby to sit down, he knew that he was now the number one celebrity on Liangshan, and visiting that small shop would invisibly bring it a lot of popularity, which was the celebrity effect of later generations.
"Little official, don't you see that is Director Tao Zongwang?" The two were drinking fish soup, and Pan Jinlian suddenly pointed out the window and said.
Gu Haotian looked, and sure enough, he saw Tao Zongwang walking towards this side on the street not far away, and was about to get up and go out to say hello, but was pulled by Pan Jinlian.
"Little official, you don't know how to be interesting, people are tender and sweet, but you want to intervene." Pan Jinlian's eyes were sharp, and she saw the woman beside Tao Zongwang at a glance.
There is also this matter, Gu Haotian took a closer look, Tao Zongwang's body was followed by a woman with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but she also had a bit of a posture, but she looked very familiar.
"Lian'er, this woman is a woman from someone's family on the mountain, why do I feel a little familiar."
"I don't know, it's the old friends of the petty officials."
Pan Jinlian and Gu Haotian have been together for a long time, and they have become bolder, but they make jokes about him.
While the two were talking and laughing, Tao Zongwang and the woman actually walked into Ruan's mother's shop.
"The little officials are here, too!"
Tao Zongwang was uncomfortable when he saw Gu Haotian when he entered the store, the reason why he didn't go to Liangshan Restaurant was because he was afraid of meeting acquaintances, who knew that when he got here, he actually bumped into a petty official, and he couldn't avoid it when he sat in the lobby.
"Director Tao also came to eat fish soup, you have eyesight, Ruan's mother's craftsmanship is a must, come, come, sit down together."
At this time, Gu Haotian had already recognized the woman, but it was Zhang Xing'er, the third-room concubine of Crouching Tiger Village.
Tao Zongwang looked at the woman behind him and sat or not, and was embarrassed for a while.
"This sister, a good Peugeot, no wonder Director Tao looks at it tightly, today we are also fate together, and drink a bowl of fish soup together."
Pan Jinlian ghost elf, she pulled the woman over, and Tao Zongwang also sat down.
Let's say that Zhang Xing'er had already recognized Gu Haotian, and when she remembered the absurd things at the beginning, she didn't dare to raise her head in shame. After going up the mountain that day, she settled in the infrastructure to do some chores, and later she also learned that the young man was the master of the mountain, so she broke off the only trace of delusion in her heart. She was also born poor, after a period of adaptation, she also returned to her nature, and by chance met Tao Zongwang, Tao Zongwang saw that his single woman was pitiful, and often took care of her, and the two gradually fell in love, and they came together.
"The little official's name is Zhang Xing'er, she came from Wohu Zhuang a few days ago, and the Civil Affairs Department assigned her to work in the infrastructure department, I see that she is a single woman and pitiful, and she takes care of her on weekdays, Today...... Today...... Coincidentally, I met ......" Tao Zongwang was hesitant, and he was sweating profusely in a few words.
"The slave family was originally a broken flower and a willow, a person who lost his morality, after coming to the mountain from Crouching Tiger Village, he was also dead, and he just wanted to spend the rest of his life peacefully, and he lost his parents at a young age in this life, and he met a bad brother when he was old, and he was bullied again. Now it should be God who has mercy on me all my life, and sent Brother Tao to me, he does not dislike slaves and abandon slaves, but pities me and cherishes me, slaves do not ask for anything else, but ask for a lifetime to serve him, please be gracious to the little officials. ”
That Zhang Xing'er saw that Tao Zongwang was struggling to speak, so she went out and said it herself, but as she spoke, she was already in tears and heartbroken.
Zhang Xinger is actually a smart person, she bought the Wu family for several years, and she didn't come out of anything, but she saw a lot of warmth and intrigue, she empathized with the Wu family, in addition to her own emptiness and laissez-faire, in fact, she also wanted to conceive a son and a half daughter, and she had a dependence in the second half of her life, otherwise the concubine of a big family, the result can be imagined. Who knew that she went to Liangshan by mistake, and met a man like Tao Zongwang who was honest and statusy, how could she let it go. It's just that the little official who knows her past well is a hurdle in her heart that she can't get over, and today she simply said it, whether it is good or bad is left to the end.
"Brother Tao, but do you know her past?"
Tao Zongwang is a real person, and Gu Haotian is worried that he will be confused.
"She told me everything, including the matter with Wu Erlang."
After hearing this, Gu Haotian understood that this woman had spoken cleanly, and asked, "Do you really like her?" ”
Tao Zongwang glanced at Zhang Xing'er lovingly, and then nodded firmly at Gu Haotian.
"There are ups and downs in life, and the past experience can't stop the days to come, the important thing is to let go, let go of the past unbearable experience, you are both very young, as long as you really love each other, the good days in the future are still very long, I am here to congratulate the two of them on growing old together."
Gu Haotian saw that Tao Zongwang didn't care, and he was happy to make do
Seeing Tao Zongwang pull up Zhang Xing'er, regardless of how many people there were in the store, he knelt in front of Gu Haotian with a "Bu Dong". In the process of interacting with Zhang Xing'er, he vaguely heard him say that he was disrespectful to the petty officials at that time, although he did not make any unbearable associations, Zhang Xing'er was a beautiful woman after all, if the petty officials had any ideas, ...... now that the petty officials agreed, he felt relaxed and deeply grateful.
"Let's get up, go to the District Office on a certain day to register, and choose a good day to do the happy event on the next day." It's just that Zhang Xing'er is alone in the mountains, no one cares about her, I think Ruan's mother is enthusiastic and kind, it is better to worship her goddaughter, and she will also walk around many places in the future. ”
Gu Haotian wanted to give Yang Xinger an identity, after all, her past was a little innocent.
Ruan's mother has been paying attention to the situation here, and at this time, she listened to the little official asking her to take care of her daughter, and looked at a woman like Zhang Xing'er, and a person like Director Tao, she was already willing in her heart.
"How can I, an old woman from the countryside, enjoy such blessings." But she didn't dare.
"Slave Zhang Xing'er lost her mother since she was a child, and today she has to see her mother, and it is even more like seeing her mother, begging her mother to have mercy and take me in this hard-working woman."
This Zhang Xing'er is also clever, she knows that Gu Haotian is for her good, so she got up and knelt in front of Ruan's mother and made a big salute.
"If the lady doesn't dislike it, then my wife will suffer it."
Ruan's mother happily helped her up, and took off a bracelet on her wrist and put it on Zhang Xing'er's hand, and the relationship between the two was settled.
Ruan's mother took in her new goddaughter, and she was overjoyed, she forced Gu Haotian and others to stay, and asked someone to find the Ruan family brothers, and put a confession wine in the store, and everyone drank to their heart's content.
