Chapter 457: Not doing business
"Presumptuous, step down!" a man in an official uniform walked out of the kitchen, and Tass appeared at the kitchen door with his son in his arms.
The leading officer got up from the ground and shouted to Tao Ziyun: "Did you hear that! In front of the governor, Hugh is presumptuous! Don't kneel down for Lord Jiang!"
"Yong Mingmi, you get out of the way for me! Don't be presumptuous, it's you!" the man in the official uniform reprimanded the officer in a deep voice.
Yong Mingmi retreated aggrievedly, and the other officers and soldiers had already climbed up one after another, picked up their respective waist knives, and gathered around Yong Mingmi.
"The new Governor Jiang Huabee has met Master Tao!" Governor Jiang walked quickly to Tao Ziyun's side and greeted him warmly.
Tao Ziyun calmly responded to Governor Jiang, and then turned to Tao Yu who approached and asked, "How is dinner prepared?"
Tao Ziyun calmly told Tao Ziyun: "After He Renzhi opened the door and let Governor Jiang and them in, the ladies avoided their respective rooms. Now my lord and Ho Renzhi are preparing dinner inside. However, Master Jiang said that after he came back, he would say hello and leave, and he would go to the post house to live. ”
"Oh, that's right. Tao Ziyun understood what Governor Jiang meant, he didn't want to disturb the normal life of the order.
"Master Tao, I'm really sorry for what happened just now. The officer in the lead is my general, and I have offended you a lot just now, so please forgive me. Governor Jiang said a word of plea to Tao Ziyun to the general, and then turned his head and shouted to Yong Mingmi: "General Yong!
Tao Ziyun waved his hand and said firmly: "No need, I have already taught him a lesson with my fists and feet just now!"
After Governor Jiang waved his hand to let the brave general who walked towards Tao Ziyun retreat, he said to Tao Ziyun about the matter: "This official is now going to the jurisdiction to inspect the effect of the administration of local officials in various places, and I heard that Lord Tao has returned to his hometown, so he came to visit. ”
Tao Ziyun politely said to Governor Jiang: "Don't dare to be it." Governor Jiang is busy with official affairs, so he doesn't dare to ask you to come to visit. ”
Governor Jiang took the opportunity to make a request to Tao Ziyun: "Oh! Master Tao can still understand that I am busy with official affairs." Why don't you do it like this? Master Tao understands the difficulties of the official, so why don't you accompany the official to go around the country?"
Moss Yu said to Tao Ziyun nostalgically: "Ziyun, you don't have to go with you, right? You went back to your hometown for vacation, not to go home to do some work." ”
Tao Ziyun comforted Taoyu and said: "Needless to say, it is still beneficial to go to various places to have a look." ”
Governor Jiang was overjoyed: "Okay! Master Tao is refreshing enough! Mrs. Tao, if you can't leave your father-in-law, you can go with you." ”
Moss Yu replied with a lonely expression: "Forget it, I'll wait at home." ”
"Mrs. Tao, whatever you like. "Governor Jiang saw that Tao Yu had agreed to let Tao Ziyun inspect his subordinates with him. He said specifically to Tao Ziyun: "Master Tao, this official will leave your county tomorrow and go to other places, you will follow this official tomorrow and go out to learn more." ”
"Okay. Tao Ziyun simply agreed to Governor Jiang's request, and then retained him and said, "Master Jiang, call your subordinates and go to the kitchen together." Now that I'm here, it's getting dark. Just eat something and go. ”
"It's still not good, we're an uninvited guest, in the case that you don't have time to prepare, don't bother Lord Tao. It is really not appropriate to eat at your place. We're leaving, let's go to the inn for food and lodging. Governor Jiang said, walked to the sedan chair, and greeted the officers and soldiers he brought. Hurriedly carried away.
When it got dark, Tao Ziyun called loudly a few times and asked everyone to go to the kitchen for dinner.
The next day. Tao Ziyun put on an official uniform, carried a burden, and rode out. When he went to the post house in the county seat, he found Governor Jiang.
Governor Jiang, who was having breakfast, got up from the dining table and greeted him: "Master Tao, I was about to send someone to pick you up, you came here so early." ”
Tao Ziyun came to the table and sat down: "Master Jiang, you don't have to be polite, you can have breakfast with peace of mind, I'll wait for you." ”
"Ate a little, don't eat. Let's go!" Governor Jiang called Tao Ziyun, walked out of the post house, got on the sedan chair and got on the horse, and went on a high-profile trip under the support of the officers and soldiers.
In the following journey, there was no shortage of high-ranking local officials from all over the world, and now Tao Ziyun did not raise objections to these people who pursued pomp. It's not that he doesn't care about things for the time being, it's because he is supervising the imperial history of the court in the capital, and he is responsible for supervising the ministers of the court, and he has no idea of forcibly intervening with local officials at present.
However, Tao Ziyun's reaction made Governor Jiang and officials from all over the country have a good impression of Tao Ziyun and have a very cordial and friendly feeling.
On the morning of that day, Governor Jiang and Tao Ziyun were about to go to another county, and when they passed by a wall, they heard the sound of practicing in the courtyard, and from time to time they heard shouts. When they came to the gate where the courtyard belonged, everyone saw that the plaque hanging on it read: Lujiang Academy.
Governor Jiang said to Tao Ziyun, who was riding a horse side by side, from the window of the sedan chair: "This is a academy that teaches and educates people, how can you practice martial arts? ”
Tao Ziyun studied literature and martial arts by himself, and he was not surprised that scholars learned martial arts, but when he heard Governor Jiang's curiosity, he encouraged him to say: "Master Jiang thinks it is strange, let's go in and have a look, and see how they are not doing their jobs." ”
"It makes sense, you can't just leave with doubts, go in and see the situation. Governor Jiang made up his mind and asked his entourage to explain the situation to the gatekeeper and asked to enter the Green River Academy.
The gatekeeper saw that it was a high-ranking official, so he didn't go in to report the news, and without the consent of the academy's high-level officials, he directly let this group of people enter the Green River Academy.
They came to a big tree in the courtyard, where there was only one person practicing on the grass, using a stick.
Tao Ziyun tied the horse to the tree, and Governor Jiang had already gotten out of the sedan chair and applauded the people who practiced the exercises.
The man stopped practicing a little embarrassed, and said respectfully to Governor Jiang: "Mr. Zuo Zongtang, the teacher of the Green River Academy, has met all the adults, what advice do the adults have?"
Tao Ziyun preemptively spoke to Zuo Zongtang: "You are a teacher, but you practice kung fu, don't you know that this is not a proper job?"
Governor Jiang said as kindly as possible: "This official does not blame you for not doing your job, I just want to see the martial arts of those who study literature." Looks like you're doing a good job. ”
Zuo Zongtang cautiously replied to Governor Jiang: "Don't dare to be, I, a scholar of literature, don't specialize in practice, and my kung fu is not much better." (To be continued......)
