"No, although the last general is a rough man, he still knows very well in his heart that I can't use the money of a character like Lord Tao. I went. Yong Mingmi didn't take the ingot of silver handed to him by Tao Ziyun, and walked quickly to the outside of the hall, "I'll get on my horse and buy it, I'll come back as soon as possible." ”

"Alas, in this way, it is all anti-guest-oriented. Ladies and gentlemen, don't blame the grass people for not being well treated!" Zuo Zongtang smiled bitterly, hugged his daughter, sat down on the bench next to the table, and beckoned Tao Ziyun to sit down next to him as well.

At this time, the officers and men who followed in found chairs and stools in the hall on their own, and sat around each other at another table. There were enough chairs and stools in the hall, but there were only two tables, and dozens of officers and soldiers were waiting for lunch, which was too crowded.

"Mr. Zuo, go find a few tables, they're too crowded. Let me hold your daughter, and you can go and find the table empty-handed and move to the hall. Tao Ziyun stretched out his hands to Zuo Zongtang.

Zuo Zongtang thought about it, and handed over his daughter to Tao Ziyun: "Okay, the rooms in my house, in addition to the desk, each room also has a dining table, I will go and move a few over, and I have to prepare a few more pots of tea." ”

Tao Ziyun hugged Zuo Zongtang's daughter and immediately tried to make her laugh, so as not to cry after leaving her father.

Zuo Zongtang saw that Tao Ziyun shared his worries so responsibly, so he relieved Tao Ziyun to help him hold his daughter and concentrate on moving the table.

After Zuo Zongtang brought the table, brought tea, and greeted those officers and soldiers to drink tea, he returned to Tao Ziyun's side and sat down. His daughter, teased by Tao Ziyun and Governor Jiang, did not seek to return to him.

At this time, Tao Ziyun plucked up the courage to say to Zuo Zongtang: "Mr. Zuo, I think your daughter is so smart, and I have a son." How about we get married?"

Hearing Tao Ziyun's request, Zuo Zongtang hesitated: "Isn't this good? Look at your official uniform, you are an important minister of the imperial court, I am a cloth cloth, we are married, isn't it a joke?"

Tao Ziyun said to Zuo Zongtang happily: "Haha! Mr. Zuo is too worried, we got married because your daughter is a good match for my son, and that's enough." ”

Zuo Zongtang replied firmly: "Marriage is a major event, and it is not allowed to be hasty. I'll wait until my wife and I discuss it before making a decision!"

Tao Ziyun said calmly: "Yes, I'll wait for your reply to me." ”

Zuo Zongtang hugged his daughter from Tao Ziyun's hand: "Listen to your tone, as if your son is very good." ”

Tao Ziyun replied confidently: "Don't say that you will make a decision after discussing with your wife, you had better take the time to see my son, if my son is not good, you don't have to agree to this doll kiss." ”

Governor Jiang, who was watching from the side, interjected at this moment: "Haha, you can go to Lord Tao's house to see his son, you have this thing to do, I will no longer ask Lord Tao to go to various places with me to inspect." ”

Tao Ziyun followed Governor Jiang's words. Agitated Zuo Zongtang and said: "That's right, since the head of Fucai Dao is no longer in the Furong State Guesthouse, if you go there to find it again, there will be no result." Mr. Zuo might as well come to my house and visit the door. If you're not happy with my son, you don't have to say yes to this doll. ”

"I'll ask my wife first, and see if the meal is ready. Zuo Zongtang stood up with his daughter in his arms and walked straight out of the hall.

This time. The general Yong Mingmi came back on horseback, with various vegetables and meat tied to his horseback. He tied his horse to a pillar in the corridor outside the hall, and walked in and asked Governor Jiang: "Lord Jiang." I've bought the food, what should I do next?"

Master Jiang instructed Yong Mingmi: "You take those brothers, go wash and chop vegetables together, and help Mrs. Zuo do her best to make lunch." ”

Yong Mingmi got the order, waved to the officers and soldiers, and went out with them.

In the end, there are many people and great strength, Tao Ziyun and Governor Jiang chatted in the hall for a long time, and some officers and soldiers brought all kinds of dishes to the table one after another.

Mrs. Zuo hugged her daughter, sat on the same bench as Zuo Zongtang, and warmly greeted the guests to drink and eat.

Tao Ziyun saw that Zuo Zongtang and his wife did not mention the matter of ordering a baby, and he later plucked up the courage to bring up the conversation and said: "Mr. Zuo, have you discussed it with Mrs. Zuo?

Tao Ziyun stubbornly pulled out this topic, and Zuo Zongtang could only say it clearly: "Of course I discussed it with my wife." She also thinks that between my family and your family, the door is not the right one, and it is not suitable for marriage. ”

Governor Jiang said with emotion: "This is also true, people like Lord Tao don't look down on it." It is no wonder that throughout the ages, there have always been despised rich and noble families who have carried out robbery methods against the girls they like. ”

After listening to Governor Jiang's testimonial, Zuo Zongtang and Mrs. Zuo looked at each other, and Zuo Zongtang cautiously asked Tao Ziyun and said, "Master Tao, you won't feel unconvinced, and you want to rob my daughter, right?"

Tao Ziyun smiled calmly: "Hehe, that's not going to happen." I mean, you go to my house to see my son, and if you don't think it's okay, it's never too late for you to refuse. ”

Mrs. Zuo tugged at Zuo Zongtang's sleeve: "I won't go, I think it's better for you to take a look, okay or not, give Master Tao a serious explanation." ”

Zuo Zongtang listened to his wife's words and nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll go." ”

Only then did Governor Jiang conclude with relief: "That's it, after lunch, Master Tao will take Mr. Zuo home, and I will go to the various prefectures and counties under my jurisdiction to inspect by myself." ”

"Well, this time the adults came to visit, not only to buy me food, but also to go to so many people to help us cook. Someone on the left is not well entertained, please forgive me, I will now borrow flowers to offer Buddha, adults drink more wine, eat more food. Zuo Zongtang said, holding a wine glass and jug, and toasted to the officers and soldiers in turn.

After lunch, Governor Jiang left with the officers and soldiers.

Tao Ziyun asked Zuo Zongtang to go to his house that afternoon, and Zuo Zongtang and his wife left him to rest for the night. Helplessly, Tao Ziyun, accompanied by Zuo Zongtang and his wife, went for a walk around their house, and their daughter was held by them in turn, babbling under their professor.

Tao Ziyun confirmed to Zuo Zongtang and his wife: "I heard you call your daughter 'Xiaoyu', her name is 'Zuo Xiaoyu'?"

Mrs. Zuo replied seriously: "Yes, Master Tao did not guess wrong, she is called 'Zuo Xiaoyu'." ”

Tao Ziyun smiled lightly: "It's natural to be able to guess, I heard you call her 'Xiaoyu'." ”

Mrs. Zuo responded seriously: "At first glance, Master Tao is a smart person, this little thing is not enough to worry about, you can detect our daughter's name from the words we called our daughter, and you can't show your talent, you are a person who does great things." ”

Zuo Zongtang was a little surprised and said to Mrs. Zuo: "Oh, madam, you trust Master Tao so much." ”

Mrs. Zuo replied solemnly, "Sort of." I'll make it clear now! I went to test Lord Tao's son, but you went alone, and I deduced the quality of his son according to Lord Tao's appearance, and I agreed to this aspect now. In the end, whether you want to agree or not, after you go to Master Tao's house to test, you can decide. ”

"Of course that's the case, so I'm looking forward to going to Lord Tao's house. Zuo Zongtang had his wife as his backing, and his heart was steady.

That night, Zuo Zongtang accompanied Tao Ziyun to rest in another room, the two talked about the general trend of the world, as well as books and practical knowledge, Tao Ziyun sighed, and said to Zuo Zongtang: "Listen to your words and deeds, although you are just a lifter, your talent is very good, you have to continue to participate in the imperial examination, find opportunities to serve the country." ”

"Yes, I hope to have the opportunity to serve my country as soon as possible. Zuo Zongtang replied firmly.

After breakfast the next day, Mrs. Zuo hugged her daughter and sent Zuo Zongtang and Tao Ziyun on the road: "Master Tao has a horse, you two big men, how can you ride?"

"Haha, let's tell you the truth, I know how to do immortal arts, and I can fly over the clouds and fog. Tao Ziyun did not hide it from Zuo Zongtang and his wife.

"So that's the case!" Zuo Zongtang and his wife listened, in addition to being surprised or surprised.

"Hehe, I'll fly over with Mr. Zuo now. After Tao Ziyun paid Zuo Zongtang's attention, he took him to the order of things.

In the preface, Yuyuan was in the maze according to Tao Ansai's message, and took his son to the kitchen to accept Zuo Zongtang's test.

Zuo Zongtang hugged Xiao Tao Youbei, teased him for a while, and then said to Tao Ziyun: "Master Tao, okay, I also promised to let my daughter order a baby with your son." (To be continued......)
