10. Famous teachers and apprentices (1)

Seeing Tao Mo staying at home, Lao Tao advised him to go out for a walk, so he was familiar with the customs and customs of Tanyang County.

The end of the year is approaching, and the wind is cold. Pedestrians on the streets come and go to purchase New Year’s goods.

With Lao Tao here, Tao Mo didn't need to be involved in these things, but just took Hao Guozi to small shops such as snack shops.

Hao Guozi remembered that he liked to eat osmanthus cakes before, so he bought some for him to eat while walking.

As soon as Tao Mo opened his mouth, the cold wind blew in. The roots of his teeth were cold. He stopped after eating only two pieces. The rest was about to be handed over to Hao Guozi, but when he turned around, he just put a person in his hand and sprinkled all the osmanthus cakes in his hand on the ground.

Hao Guozi jumped out and said, "How did you walk?"

The man was about to defend himself, and as soon as he saw Tao Mo's appearance, he immediately showed a look of joy on his face, "Mr. Tao?"

Hao Guozi said suspiciously: "Who are you?"

Tao Mo said in surprise: "Wang Pengcheng?"

Hao Guozi's eyes twitched. Could it be the unfilial son who had been beaten several times? He subconsciously blocked Tao Mo and looked at him with caution. "What are you going to do?"

Wang Pengcheng bowed to Tao Mo and said, "It is better to meet him by chance than to invite him. Lord Tao doesn't know if he can give him a visit to the palace. Please go to Xianweilou to sit there?"

Hao Guozi pulled Tao Mo's sleeve and attached it to his ear and whispered in a very low voice: "I'm afraid that the person he comes is not good."

Although he spoke in a low voice, Wang Pengcheng could still hear it clearly, and quickly waved his hand and smiled: "This young man is worried, I just want to thank Lord Tao."

"Thank you?" Where did anyone want to thank you if you were beaten? Hao Guozi was even more suspicious.

But Wang Pengcheng didn't care about it, grabbed Tao Mo's arm and walked towards Xianweilou.

Hao Guozi chased behind him and wanted to pull him away, but heard Tao Mo say, "I'm just tired, so it's good to take a rest."

Wang Pengcheng said repeatedly: "That's right. After eating Xianweilou, you can go to Mingcuiju to sit down."

Hao Guozi stomped her feet on the spot and finally chased after her unwillingly.

By the way, this Xianwei Building is the most famous restaurant in Tanyang County. It is a popular table for ordinary families to visit and send to merchants, wealthy people, literati and poets. The table that is slightly better is the food for ordinary families in January, which is expensive.

It was already noon when Wang Pengcheng and Tao Mo arrived, and the Xianwei Tower was almost full.

Wang Pengcheng negotiated with the shopkeeper for a long time before he freed up a space near the corner. He directed his friend to bring a screen to block the lobby and arrange a corner of the lobby like a small private room. After such a long and complicated struggle, he sat down and said embarrassedly: "Sir, don't blame me. I really didn't expect to meet you on the street. If you don't have any good hospitality, you can only feel wronged."

Tao Mo waved his hand and smiled, "It's great."

Hao Guozi stood aside with a hint of gaze, staring at Tao Mo, and then sat down happily after he nodded.

"I ordered a few famous dishes from Xianweilou. Adults will try them later. If it is not enough, just speak." Wang Pengcheng seemed not surprised that Hao Guozi took her seat and poured tea for the pottery ink himself. Even Hao Guozi enjoyed the honor of being served again.

Tao Mo thought of the board, felt guilty and asked softly: "Isn't your butt intrusive?"

Wang Pengcheng smiled awkwardly and whispered: "Don't worry, those yamen runners didn't work hard. I'll go back and apply the medicine." He originally wanted Tao Mo to ask why the yamen runners didn't work hard, and was thinking about whether they wanted to release them on purpose. Afterwards, he reported the fact that they extorted money. But seeing Tao Mo just nodded and said, "That's good." It seemed that he did not care about such things. He couldn't help but think that he had already known the affairs of the yamen and was expected to be his "light blow" and admired him even more.

"Speaking of this, if it weren't for the adults' trick, I'm afraid my grudge with my mother wouldn't have been dispelled so quickly."

Not to mention Hao Guozi was confused, Tao Mo was also confused when he heard it.

Wang Pengcheng sighed, "Since my deceased wife passed away, I have no intention of remarrying it. But my mother has been thinking about my queen of the Wang family and repeatedly urging me. This time she went to court and forced me to submit. If it weren't for the adult's beating my mother for the care I felt for me, I'm afraid she would not be quiet yet."

Hao Guozi said curiously: "It is a big deal to pass on the family line. Why don't you marry again?"

Wang Pengcheng's eyes flashed and he didn't say anything for a while.

Tao Mo was moved and said, "You are the so-called "three thousand weak waters, only one can drink" to the deceased Mrs. Wang?" After he said that, he looked at Hao Guozi's expression and felt relieved when he saw him nodding.

Wang Pengcheng stammered his lips twice, and the food was just right, and the topic was interrupted.

The dishes at Xianweilou are indeed quite good.

Tao Mo and Hao Guozi lived a tight life for a long time, and it was rare to eat such delicious food, and they both ate it without stopping.

Wang Pengcheng only tasted a few bites and stopped. After finally waiting for them to have a good meal, he said, "I heard that Lord Tao only brought two servants when he came to Tanyang County?"

Tao Mo said: "Yes."

Wang Pengcheng tentatively said: "That lady..."

Hao Guozi said frankly: "My young master has never married yet."

"Oh?" Wang Pengcheng's eyes lit up and he whispered: "Is it because Lord Tao has a high vision and looks down on him?"

Tao Mo smiled dryly and said, "No, I just have to be free."

The three words "Not empty" hit Wang Pengcheng's heart, making his smile suddenly brighter, "If you are interested, you might be able to plan something for you?"

Hao Guozi thought of Tao Mo and had to be male, and her face turned pale immediately.

Tao Mo refused: "I still have to be filial to my father less than a year after he passed away."

"Oh, that's it." Wang Pengcheng looked disappointed.

Hao Guozi looked at him in surprise and said, "You are so strange. Your mother asked you to marry a wife before, but you refused in every way. Now why are you a matchmaker for others?"

Wang Pengcheng looked embarrassed, "I am just grateful to Lord Tao for making my mother and I feel relieved, so I want to do my best to help Lord Tao. After all, Lord Tao has just arrived, and the inner courtyard must have someone to take care of it." When he said that when he said that he thought of something, he said, "I wonder if Lord Tao has visited two teachers after coming to Tanyang?"

Tao Mo said confusedly: "I have never had a teacher in Tanyang County."

"I mean Mr. Yishun and Mr. Lin." He lowered his voice.

Tao Mo suddenly remembered that he had mentioned this matter to Lao Tao, but later it was temporarily stranded because he chose an undecided gift. This stranded has been stranded to the present. "It has not been."

Wang Pengcheng hesitated for a while and hinted: "It's better to go there."

Tao Mo said: "I just don't know what gifts the two gentlemen like."

Wang Pengcheng smiled and said, "So I said that if Lord Tao had a wife to take care of the inner court, this matter would be much simpler. In addition to being both famous litigants, Mr. Yichu and Mr. Lin also have one similarity, which is to obey the wife's words."

Tao Mo scratched his head and said, "Then I will give you some gold and silver jewelry and two ladies?"

Wang Pengcheng's face turned dark, thinking to himself how this adult was confused about the big things. He hurriedly said, "No. After all, the adult is a man, so this... it's not appropriate to give such gifts to the two gentlemen."

Tao Mo's ears were slightly red and he said awkwardly: "It's what I think of." He has been unintentional to women since he was a child, and he rarely cares about men and women's defenses.

"Well." Wang Pengcheng thought for a while, "It's rare that I and the adults will fall into this situation as soon as they see each other, so I will say something more."

Tao Mo bowed and said, "Please say it."

"Mr. Yidhim and Mr. Lin have both beloved disciples, do you know?"

Tao Mo was excited, "I know, it's Gu She."

Wang Pengcheng was frightened by the light shot out from his eyes, "Mr. Gu is the master of Mr. Yichu. Mr. Lin's master of Mr. Lu Zhenxue."

Tao Mo nodded and said, "I can recognize it too."

When Wang Pengcheng heard him say "yes", he knew it in his heart and smiled and said, "No wonder the old god is here. It turns out that Mr. Gu and Mr. Lu have already become stronger, but I am worried too much."

It was accidental that Tao Mo knew Lu Zhenxue and Gu She, but it took a lot of effort to explain it, so he let him misunderstand it.

The three of them said goodbye and left the building.

Hao Guozi followed Tao Mo on the way back to the county government, frowned, "I always feel that this person has some intentions."

Tao Mo sighed: "What's the point of being plotted against?"

"No. Young Master still remembers that before we went to Xianweilou, he clearly said that he would invite us to Mingcuiju to sit. But as soon as he finished the meal, he paid the bill and ran away." Hao Guozi muttered.

Tao Mo said funny: "If you are thinking about Mingcuiju, I will treat you another day."

"It's not Ming Cuiju's business, it's... Alas, young master should be careful of him."

Seeing Hao Guozi chattering endlessly, Tao Mo had to agree.
