Chapter 458: Zuofu Narrative
"Lord Governor wants to see your martial arts! I'm here!" General Yong Mingmi had already started to act with a comprehension, attacking Zuo Zongtang with both hands and feet!
Zuo Zongtang had a long stick in his hand, and in the face of a sudden attack, he greeted him with a stick. In addition to dodging Yong Mingmi's attack, his attack, the stick hit Yong Mingmi's body.
Yong Mingmi wanted to pull out his waist knife to fight, but was stopped by Governor Jiang, who saw his intentions next to him. Back and forth, Yong Mingmi became angry, and then after a few strokes, the stick that Zuo Zongtang hit was broken into four!
Zuo Zongtang threw the broken stick on the grass and said as calmly as possible: "I'm going to give a lecture in the school." ”
Governor Jiang beckoned to his entourage: "Okay, then let's go too." ”
Tao Ziyun said to Zuo Zongtang with great interest: "You are a teacher, it is already great that you can practice this kind of kung fu after class! But you must have been instructed by a master, who taught you?"
Zuo Zongtang took off his coat from the tree and replied lightly: "You don't know either." Besides, he wouldn't let me tell anyone else. ”
Tao Ziyun asked slowly, "Your fighting style reminds me of a person." You've heard of the Fortune Chief, right?"
Zuo Zongtang thought for a while before he said softly: "I won't tell you, I only had this means after his order." ”
"It's really him!Where is he now?!" Tao Ziyun was already stunned!
Zuo Zongtang also looked very frustrated: "Don't you see it? I'm not the opponent of this military master." If I had been able to learn from him, it would have been more than that. ”
"What's wrong?" Governor Jiang, who was already sitting in the sedan chair, opened the sedan curtain and asked simply.
"The person he practiced and studied under was an old friend of mine! I haven't seen that old friend for a long time!" Tao Ziyun shook his head in depression when he thought of Daoist Fucai and his daughter, who had not been heard from for a long time.
"I think so. After thinking about it, Governor Jiang changed his travel plan: "General Yong, you take my name card and go to the mountain chief of the academy." He said that I was going to visit Mr. Zuo's house and asked the mountain chief to give him a day off. ”
Zuo Zongtang was stunned, and he resolutely objected: "How can this be done? I have to rely on teaching to support my family, how can I ask for leave? The practice of our academy is that if you ask for leave, your salary will be deducted. ”
General Yong took a name card from Governor Jiang and explained to Zuo Zongtang: "I still have to go and ask you for leave." You must be clear, this is the governor of our province, Lord Jiang, you have taken leave, if the academy deducts money, I will pay you to make up for it. ”
Governor Jiang smiled heartily: "Haha." Mr. Jiang, accept us uninvited guests! Let's go to your house for a cup of tea!"
"Wait!" Tao Ziyun called out to General Yong, "Let the mountain chief give Mr. Zuo ten days off, so that Mr. Zuo can accompany me to find the chief of fortune!"
"Ten days!Let me accompany you to him!?" Zuo Zongtang was really stunned to the extreme!"But he is no longer there! If he is still there, I will always follow him to learn art." It is very difficult to get the reputation of the Jinshi in the study of literature, and it would be good if I could show my ambition in the study of martial arts! If I practice martial arts with him, I will definitely be able to pass the martial arts examination!"
"You met him at the 'Furong State Guesthouse', right?" Tao Ziyun only thought of this place now!
Governor Jiang waved his hand to General Yong: "Let the mountain chief give Mr. Zuo a ten-day vacation." ”
The brave general holds the name post. With a firm step, I went to the head of the academy.
Zuo Zongtang relaxed his vigilance against Tao Ziyun and replied seriously: "Yes! At that time, I traveled to the provincial capital and temporarily lived in the Furong State Guesthouse. The room opposite the guest room I stayed in was the head of the Fortune Channel. In the room next to him, there was a girl who called the head of Fucai Dao 'Daddy'. When I saw the girl practicing her sword in the aisle, I thought that her father was also a kung fu man. I begged him to teach me. After the conversation, the head of the Fukusai Dao agreed to teach me, but he did. When the scholar first came into contact with weapons, it was not suitable to use sharp swords, so he taught me to learn stick skills and fist and foot kung fu for more than ten days. ”
Tao Ziyun asked with a lonely expression: "Why didn't he teach you later." ”
Zuo Zongtang replied in frustration: "Because at that time, he had just taken his daughter and fled there from Shanyin to prevent others from forcing his daughter to marry, and he didn't let me sue others." He was afraid that if he stayed for a long time, he would cause some trouble, and I hadn't learned enough, so he was leaving. Later, I became a teacher in this academy, and I reviewed the stick skills he taught me every day. It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to learn peerless kung fu from him!"
"Master Jiang! I have already asked the mountain chief for ten days off for Mr. Zuo. The brave general walked over quickly.
"Mr. Zuo, go to your house to talk and let's go. Governor Jiang said to Zuo Zongtang in the sedan chair.
"Come with me!" Zuo Zongtang led the way to the gate of the Green River Academy.
Governor Jiang's official sedan chair closely followed Zuo Zongtang on foot, Tao Ziyun and Yong General rode horses parallel on both sides of the sedan chair, and other officers and soldiers followed on foot.
There was no gatekeeper in Zuofu, it was Zuo Zongtang who opened the door with a key, led people straight into Zuofu, and then came to the hall.
The people in the hall didn't have time to avoid it, so they entertained those guests for tea. But there was only one woman with a little girl, who was very delicate, one or two years old, and still sitting leisurely on the bench by the table.
"This is my wife and daughter. Zuo Zongtang briefly introduced the family members to the guests brought in, and said to his wife: "You go cook, I will go out to buy vegetables and do our best to entertain these distinguished guests." ”
Mrs. Zuo agreed, picked up their daughter and left together.
"There are so many people, you want to cook more, you are busy, my daughter will be carried out by me to buy vegetables!" Zuo Zongtang hugged their daughter from his wife's hand, and Mrs. Zuo went to the kitchen alone.
Tao Ziyun said to Zuo Zongtang: "Mr. Zuo, I will accompany you to buy vegetables." It's inconvenient for you to hold a daughter, I'll lead the horse out with you, and you can put the vegetables you bought on the horse and carry them back. ”
Governor Jiang immediately objected: "We are here to talk to Mr. Zuo, you have all left, let us be left out in the cold here!
"yes, let me go grocery shopping. My eyes widened, everyone has to take the initiative to buy me things cheaply!"
"Mr. Zuo, let's stay here with Master Jiang. Tao Ziyun also felt that he couldn't let the guests stay here alone and be left out in the cold, and he also turned to the Yong General and said: "Don't be greedy, what price others buy those dishes, you can also give others what price, let alone take other people's things for nothing." If you can't afford it, I'll pay you the money. (To be continued......)
