Chapter 222: A Big Family
On the country road, the little girl and the big fat cat walk in the middle, and a man and a woman walk on both sides.
Tao Ying made two wreaths out of wild grass, wore one for herself and one for the black ball, the latter was reluctant to wear them at first, but later thought about the delicacies of the mountains and seas, so he also put them on.
First please this little girl, and when you send her home, in case the father is angry, please yourself to eat, and then send two valuable objects, wouldn't it be a big bargain for nothing.
Hua Wenxiang asked, "How far do you have to go to get there?"
Tao Ying helped the wreath on her head, and said innocently: "It should be two more days to get there." ”
Hua Wenxiang these days is a thorough understanding of this Tao family, this family ancestors have been businessmen for generations, when the Danpo Dynasty was still alive, the Tao family is a big businessman with a head and face here, and now Danpo has turned into Zhong He, the Tao family not only did not decline, but the business is getting bigger and bigger, not to mention a large number of industries in Baifengzhou, where every inch of land is gold, Zhonghe's other places, and even in Beiyan Nanzhou, these boundaries, there are Tao's industries.
This family is famous as a businessman in the rivers and lakes, and its money-making skills are not much worse than those of Shangyi Dong's family, but while the latter is in business, the family monks are also famous.
Dong Dongdong, the ancestor of the Dong family, holds the immortal soldier "Blade White", and can be regarded as a great monk in the whole world.
At dusk that day, three people and one cat came to a prosperous city, along the way, Hua Wenxiang really didn't find a village, the entire Baifengzhou seemed to be a city, and one was richer than the other.
It's still the old rule, and only the most expensive ones live in the inn.
Finding the best inn in the city, Hua Wenxiang was about to pay the shopkeeper, but the latter suddenly saw a short little girl and said in surprise: "Miss Tao!"
Tao Ying has an impression of this inn, she came out more than half a month ago, and she stayed here for one night.
The innkeeper hurriedly walked out of the counter and said excitedly: "Grandma, I can be regarded as finding you, the person sent by your father just left me yesterday, and his old man is going crazy, you live here tonight, I will go to someone to inform your father." ”
Tao Ying sighed and asked, "Old shopkeeper, can you not have the money for the guest house tonight?" I will ask my father to give it to you when I go back." ”
She wanted to invite Hua Wenxiang and them to stay in the inn for one night, which was regarded as a match for the friendship of the landlord.
The shopkeeper smiled: "Miss Tao lives casually, this inn is opened by your family, you can live as you want." ”
Hua Wenxiang looked down at the quirky little girl and quipped, "Then thank you Miss Tao for your hospitality." ”
In the past few days, he really likes this little girl with a big ghost.
Tao Ying's face was slightly red, and she muttered, "What Miss Tao......"
After that, the old shopkeeper took three people and a cat to the room, and then hurriedly called someone to inform Tao Fu.
Speechless all night.
The next day, when it was almost noon, Hua Wenxiang and the others were about to leave after eating.
It's just that as soon as the group got up at the dinner table, the old shopkeeper ran over and begged them to wait a little longer, saying that the Tao family would send someone over immediately.
When Tao Ying heard this, she immediately refused, saying that she wanted Hua Wenxiang and the others to send her home, and she didn't need anyone to pick her up.
Saying that, the little girl took Hua Wenxiang and walked outside the inn, but the latter couldn't stop the little girl, so she had to call Tu Yuelian and Hei Qiu'er out of the inn together.
The old shopkeeper stood aside and couldn't stop him, just looking forward to the Tao family's people coming over quickly.
It stands to reason that the Tao family took enough time to arrive here in one night, but it was almost noon, why didn't anyone come.
The old shopkeeper was anxious, at this time Hua Wenxiang and the others had already left the inn, how could this be good, when the people of the Tao family came here and couldn't see Miss Tao, wouldn't they blame him......
The earth shook suddenly, and the old shopkeeper immediately went out when he heard the movement, and the innkeeper and many guests also ran out.
Everyone thought it was an earthquake.
But the next scene made everyone's worried hearts relax, and it turned out that a large number of people came from afar.
Eight luxurious carriages, twenty cavalry friars.
The old shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and finally caught up.
Hua Wenxiang and the others stopped and looked at the oncoming big formation, which was quite shocking.
Hua Wenxiang asked, "This is your carriage?"
Tao Ying nodded, and suddenly felt aggrieved, one of those carriages was her father's exclusive carriage.
Hei Qiu'er smiled: "Your family is really rich, and it is such a big battle to pick up such a little doll like you." ”
It is now overjoyed in its heart, feeling that the hard work of the past few days has finally paid off, and then there is no need to coax this little girl to play, and those delicacies of the mountains and seas seem to be close at hand.
The carriages came to a sudden stop when they came to Hua Wenxiang and the others, and then everyone got off the carriage and dismounted.
In the middle of a luxurious carriage that was different from the others, a short and fat old man, supported by the coachman, stepped down the makeshift stairs.
When the little girl saw the familiar figure, her tears burst and she ran away, "Dad—"
The old rich man trotted up, tears in his eyes.
Tao Ying threw herself into her arms, just whimpering and crying.
The head of the Tao family gently patted his daughter's back with his big hand and comforted: "Daddy is here, Daddy is here, everything is fine." ”
The servants of the Tao family, the people in the inn, and the flowers and fragrances all quietly watched this touching picture.
Hua Wenxiang knew that Tao Ying was reluctant to tell others about all kinds of grievances, she lived alone in the wild for more than half a month, what happened during this period, it is unimaginable, the little girl can live until now It is definitely a great blessing, just ask which lady of a big family can do this.
The head of the Tao family is named Tao Zhenmao, who has followed the family to do business since he was a child, and he is illiterate, but he is a good hand in business, and there seems to be no richer than the Tao family in Baifengzhou and even the entire Zhonghe.
Tao Zhenmao has a son and a daughter, two wives, the son does not learn on weekdays, just wants to inherit the family property that can not be spent in a few lifetimes, is a real loser, he encountered an accident this time, although Tao Zhenmao is sad, but it is not sad, this kind of white-eyed wolf raised, will only be a cancer of the family.
He Tao Zhenmao has been in business all his life, reading countless people, and he has hardly done a loss-making business, like this kind of rebel who will only bring trouble to the family, he died, but his wife was also killed.
Tao Zhenmao's two wives, the eldest lady died many years ago, and the second lady married not many years ago, but now she is also dead, but fortunately, his favorite palm pearl is still alive.
If something happens to his little daughter again, Tao Zhenmao will really have nothing to love.
Tao Ying has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she is endearing, although she is a woman, Tao Zhenmao has always cultivated her as the successor of the family, which shows the important position of the little girl in the Tao family.
It can be said that Tao Ying is the whole of his Tao Zhenmao, and the only existence that is more important than those gold and silver mountains.
Tao Zhenmao picked up Tao Ying and said softly: "I'll talk about it when I go home." ”
As he spoke, he came to Hua Wenxiang and them, and said politely: "In Xia Tao Zhenmao, please ask the two little engongs to go back to my house with me, so that Tao can do his best to be a landlord." ”
Tao Ying in his arms whispered: "It's the three Engongs, and that black cat is also my Engong, it's a powerful beast." ”
Tao Zhenmao, who had never seen any strong wind and waves, was slightly stunned, he really didn't see that the fat cat in this dress was a powerful beast, how could a powerful beast look the same as a domestic cat?
The somewhat embarrassed Tao Zhenmao smiled at the friendship of the black ball, and the latter also returned the salute with a smile.
It's just that Hei Qiu'er is slightly dissatisfied, this rich man is obviously so rich, it stands to reason that his knowledge should not be shallow, but he can't even recognize his identity as a powerful beast.
Hua Wenxiang said: "It's just a gesture, Uncle Tao doesn't have to be polite, we still have to hurry, so we won't go to the house to bother." ”
Without waiting for Tao Zhenmao to stay, Tao Ying in his arms vetoed: "How can this be done, didn't you say okay, you escort me, and afterwards I asked my father to give you the escort fee, this money can't be ignored, besides, I also promised Brother Heiqiu to invite it to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, how can you talk and not count, if you don't come to my house, how can I repay you for saving your life......"
The more the little girl spoke, the more excited she became, and kept staring at the flowers Wenxiang, as if she would cry at any moment.
Hua Wenxiang smiled: "I used to tease you, we just happened to be on the way, and it won't be troublesome to carry you." ”
Tao Ying kept shaking her head, "You can't do this!"
Hei Qiu'er whispered: "Otherwise, let's go to Xiao Taozi's house, we can't let her talk don't count." ”
Tao Ying's chick nodded like a peck of rice, "Brother Heiqiu'er is right." ”
Hua Wenxiang glanced at this fat cat whose head was full of food, and after hesitating for a moment, she smiled at Tao Zhenmao: "Then it will cause trouble to Uncle Tao." ”
