This little girl is a native of Yongcheng, Henan, who has no father or mother since she was a child, was abandoned at the door of the Taoist temple, and was raised by an old Taoist. She doesn't have a name either, but when Lao Dao picked her up, she was wearing a jade pendant, and there was only one "Zhang" on the jade pendant. At this time, it was March, and some peach blossoms floated in the sky, and Lao Dao called her Tao'er. Peaches is hard and capable from snacks, sensible and obedient. Cook fast meals for the old Taoist priest every day and talk to the old Taoist priest.

这老道士原本也是个富家子弟，自小饱读诗书，自小与这永城知府千金欣娘是青梅竹马，两人便私定终生。 didn't expect his family to fall into the middle of the road and become a poor scholar. I make a living by selling calligraphy and paintings every day. In the end, he was discovered by the prefect, and he didn't agree to the two of them in death. I feel that this scholar's family has no power and power, and he is not worthy of this Xin Niang. The scholar made up his mind to go to Beijing to catch the exam, be admitted to Xiucai, and return to his hometown to marry Xin Niang in a sedan chair. During the Hongwu period, the war raged across the country, but I didn't expect the Yongcheng prefect to collude with the Tartars. For the crime of plotting rebellion, she was redressed on the spot, and her home was raided, and Xin Niang was forced to become a woman in a green house. Day and night, I look forward to the return of scholars. Endless waiting, worldly constraints, all have become shackles for the two. The scholar took the fame, and when he rushed home, he found that Xin Niang had become a woman in the Qinglou, and he felt that he had no face. ignored Xinniang and said goodbye with tears. The grief-stricken Xinniang felt sorry for the scholar and her family. In the evening, he jumped from the makeup building, stained the bluestone with blood, and shattered his bones. The scholar learned that everything was late, so he knelt on the ground and hugged Qingshi and cried for a day and a night. There was no trace of a scholar in Yongcheng, and the world said that he went up the mountain and became a monk.

Speaking of which, the old Taoist priest was already in tears.

"It turns out that the master has not cut off the love thread for so many years, and he is also an infatuated person." With tears in her eyes, Tao'er comforted, "Master, don't be sad, Xinniang knows that you haven't forgotten her for so many years, and she can smile at Jiuquan."

The old Taoist priest knew that his life would not be long in coming, but he was still worried about Tao'er: "Tao'er has been naughty and unwilling to learn kung fu since she was a child, and she will only know some fur kung fu when she grows so big." If I die, who will protect Peach? This miserable girl. ”

"Hey," he sighed softly.

"Master, don't be sad. I'll make you something to eat. Tao'er blinked and whispered.

"Go, go." , A tear came out of the corner of his eye, looking at Tao'er's back, Lao Dao closed his eyes.

"Master, Master. Let's eat~", pushing open the door, Tao'er saw Lao Dao sitting on the couch. The incense burner in the house was full of smoke, and the old way was motionless, like a fairyland on earth. Peach was taken aback. The trembling hand touched the master's hand, it was cold, without a little temperature. Two lines of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and Tao'er rarely cried, and her master taught her to be strong since she was a child. Because she is a hard-working person like Master. Tao'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. Choked up and said, "Master, your old man is going well." ”

A year ago, there was a drought in my hometown, and the Taoist temple ran out of incense, and the little Taoist priests were scattered. After the master drove the crane to the west, the Taoist temple naturally couldn't tolerate her, and she was usually supported by the old Taoist. No one dares to gossip. Now, the Taoist sees her as a stranger. Tao'er knew that she couldn't stay here, so she fled to Beiping with the refugees who moved north, relying on some fur fists and feet to make a living by doing miscellaneous arts.

In the slums, she made many friends. Her most trusted sister Ah Lian. One day, a notice was posted at the door of Liu's house, saying that he was going to recruit maids, and the monthly money was several times that of other families.

"This Liu Fu gives so much money every month, why doesn't anyone go to be a maid? It's weird. Tao'er said.

"People say that this daughter of the Liu family has a strange temper and is difficult to serve. I changed several maids a year. Peach, you better not go. Ah Lian took Peach's hand and said cautiously.

"Ah Lian, I still want to try, after all, they give a lot of money, and with money, we can live a good life. You have to take care of the things that my master left me, and I will go to Liu's Mansion to be a maid for a few months first. I can't do it, I can still run away. Peach's tongue sticks out.

When the old Taoist priest went west, he left Tao'er a few things, a seven-star sword and a few books that Xiao Tao'er couldn't understand.
