Chapter 30: The Tao Family Has a Female Beginning to Grow (Part 2)
Chapter 30: There is a daughter in the Tao family who has just grown up (middle)
Sure enough, only Tao Qian's dead old fox could teach such a daughter. If Tao Qian was very upright, I would be the first official who didn't believe that he was truly upright. For example, Liu Zhe used to be too upright, just because he was too upright?
An old fox like Tao Qian who has been in the officialdom for so many years naturally has his own way of becoming an official.
"Mr. Wu, it's already very late. The little woman is leaving now." Tao Yingying stood up, smiled at me, and bowed: "I hope the young master can find a way to serve the court and not be obsessed with the spring examination."
Xier also stood up and said with a gloomy expression: "Young Master Wu, Young Master Bai, Xier is gone too."
"Miss Tao, isn't it a pity to miss such a beautiful festival and miss it in a hurry?" I also stood up and said aloud: "Putting lanterns under Wende Bridge is also a beautiful thing and must not be missed."
"Yes, Miss, we haven't put up lanterns yet. It is said that putting a lantern and making a wish will be particularly effective." Xier heard me say this and hurriedly said to her. She probably was very interested in putting lanterns.
Tao Yingying thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, but after the lanterns are put on, we will go back. It's Yuanxiao Festival, so let's follow you once."
"Thank you, Miss." Xier said with a smile: "I want to put two lanterns so that the two wishes can be realized."
After leaving the restaurant, everyone went straight to Wende Bridge. It was already a little late. However, there was still a clear area around, and various lanterns were hung on the eaves and branches. What's more, they made a few Kongming lanterns and lit the candles underneath, allowing them to take off. The journey was colorful and festive.
After reaching Wende Bridge, Bai Shixing first bought a few lanterns and handed them over to the two girls. Of course, Bai Shixing and I couldn't do such things as putting lanterns. It seemed that there were indeed few big men who would put lanterns. We just followed them to the edge of the river beach under the bridge.
At this time, thousands of lanterns have floated up in the river, slowly drifting into the distance with the waves. No lanterns represent a wish. How many girls’ wishes will come true?
Xier asked someone to borrow a pen, and hid aside with Tao Yingying, and wrote her wishes on the lantern. She immediately lit the candle in the middle and put it in the river.
Just as a small wave came over, the lantern slowly drifted towards the middle with the waves.
I exchanged glances with Bai Shixing, and Bai Shixing gave me a look of peace of mind. It turned out that when I asked Bai Shixing to buy lanterns, I had already made a secret note. After a while, there would naturally be a guard in front of me to salvage their lanterns and let me see what my wish was. I have to admit that Tao Yingying really lifted all my curiosity.
After a long time, when the lantern disappeared into the vast lantern group, the two girls reluctantly returned to the shore.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Bai. The little girl is really going to take her back." Tao Yingying said slowly, her face flushed, as if the act of putting on the lanterns just now touched her.
"Miss Tao, since that's the case, I don't want to force myself to stay. I hope there will be a date later." I chuckled slightly, but secretly used a gesture to Bai Shi.
"I hope." Miss Tao owed her body and was about to turn around and leave.
Bai Shixing received my gesture and immediately said in a worried tone: "Master, I heard from the yamen that the security of the capital has not been very peaceful recently. A few days ago, there were two young girls who were annihilated and then killed while walking at night. The silver demon has not been caught yet."
"Shixing, are you telling the truth?" I said in surprise: "Isn't it too dangerous for Miss Tao and the others to go back like this?"
"Miss, I'm afraid." Xi'er was sang and said something a little guilty, holding Tao Yingying's hand.
Tao Yingying said calmly, "Don't be afraid of Xi'er, it doesn't matter if we follow the abortion."
"Miss Tao, the more I think about it, the more I feel worried." I frowned and said worriedly: "It was because I was the one who made the lady come home late. If something happened to you, Miss, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life."
"Young Master, don't need to say much." Tao Yingying looked at me calmly and smiled gently, as if she had seen through my intentions: "Since you have this intention, I thank you here."
Tao Yingying began to call me a slave. Although she was still a little unfamiliar, she was much more intimate than the girl she called herself. She said with a happier heart.
Bai Shixing and I protected our two girls all the way to Baihu Street. We talked and laughed, it was so lively. However, Tao Yingying was very calm and calm. Every time I told a joke, she would smile slightly and nod. Unlike that Xier, she often laughed so hard that she turned back and forth.
I deliberately told two cold jokes and found that Xier stopped smiling. However, Tao Yingying still smiled slightly. She deserved to be the daughter of the old fox, and she was calm and terrifying.
After arriving at Baihu Street, Tao Yingying stopped her pace and said lightly: "Please go back, young master, it's very safe here."
This is to be honest. Most of the people living on this street are court officials. The guards are much tighter than elsewhere, and there are not many little thieves who dare to act wildly here.
"By the way, do you recognize Jiayan?" Tao Yingying suddenly asked.
Why did she suddenly ask this? However, I immediately lied: "I wonder if Miss Tao's father is?"
"Tao Qian, Minister of Rites," Tao Yingying said, looking at me with a smile, and whispered: "Young Master, my family is gone."
As he said that, he slowly left with Xier.
I looked at her back as she was leaving, and asked in confusion: "Shixing, why did she suddenly ask this?"
Bai Shixing was also confused: "In theory, this Tao Yingying doesn't look like a woman who likes to show off her family background?"
By the way, I slapped my head and said ashamed: "We didn't ask them where they live, so we took them to Baihu Street directly. Haha, probably she was wondering whether we were deliberately approaching her. She said this just now, clearly telling us that she had seen through our intentions and stopped acting."
"This Tao Yingying is really a bit similar to Lord Tao. She looks mysterious." Bai Shixing also said with a sense of emotion.
"Don't worry about her, anyway, you can see the pain in her heart from the lantern." I flashed my finger and laughed: "I'm really looking forward to what kind of wishes a special woman like her would have?"
Bai Shixing knew it and immediately walked into the darkness. After a while, he came to me excitedly and sent a few folded pieces of paper to me: "Master, this is what I found from those lanterns."
I got it over and opened one and took a look: "My second wish is to make a fortune this year, make a lot of money, and use money to build a bed with money to sleep on it all day."
I was stunned and sweated. This must be the wish of that girl Xier.
Open another one: "My first wish is to hope that the lady is safe and safe, so that she can achieve her wish."
This should be the wish of that girl Xier.
Open another one, and judging from the handwriting, this should be Tao Yingying's handwriting: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wu, I was in the middle of the night, and I also sent someone to salvage the lanterns."
I was stunned. Tao Yingying was too powerful, right? She could have guessed that I would go and catch her lantern?
I hurriedly opened the last one, which read: "Mr. Wu, you can hear from your singing that you are a person with lofty ideals. I hope you can contribute to the country and truly do things for the people. If you have any difficulties, you can go to my father Tao Qian, and he will definitely help you. By the way, your lyrics are good, but your voice needs practice. Tao Yingying, stay."
Huh. Tao Yingying is always beyond my expectations. However, from her tone, she still admires me very much.
"Your Majesty, it's already late at night. It's time to return to the palace, right?" Bai Shixing reminded carefully when he saw that I didn't speak.
I looked at the fireworks that exploded in the sky in the distance, and after a long time, I sighed: "Go back to the palace, the queen and the others are anxious to wait."
As usual, I still entered the inner courtyard of the palace from Shenwu Gate. I did not let Bai Shixing accompany me, and went straight to my Yangzezhai from the Imperial Garden. I was in the warm pavilion of Yangzezhai, and now I was brightly lit.
As soon as I entered, I saw the Queen and the others waiting for me all the time.
"Emperor." When the queen saw me appear, she stomped her feet and said slightly dissatisfied: "This Yuanxiao Festival, you didn't eat Yuanxiao with us, but you ran out of the palace alone to Xiaoyao?"
Seeing that her temper became a little bit, I hugged her and comforted her softly: "Youhong, I'm just so tired of being in the palace, so I went out to relax."
"Master, wash it first and change my clothes." Lan'er and Xing'er came to me, holding hot water. One helped me wipe my face and the other changed my clothes.
"Are you guessing who I met outside today?" I laughed.
"Is that more than that? Of course, she is a beautiful woman with a beautiful face." Lan Haining pouted and said, "She must have hooked up all my soul."
I walked up, scraped her wrinkled nose, and smiled and said, "You are so many sisters, you are jealous." As I said that, I lay down on the top of the wall and said, "Ning'er, come here to help me pinch my feet. Now the road has been long."
"No, no, no, no, no, no." Ning'er pouted: "When the Empress came back today, she saw you leaving notes and ran away from home. She cried sadly. Fortunately, she cooked for you personally and made Yuanxiao for you."
"Ning'er, don't be so arrogant." Lan Chuqing said with a stern face: "I have her own plans to do things."
"Uh... Youhong, I'm wrong now. I sneak out of the palace next time and I will definitely bring you with me." I apologized and hugged the queen, then said, "Where is the Yuanxiao I made for me? I'm already hungry."
"Your Majesty, are you saying true?" The Empress suddenly looked eager.
"Of course it's true. I'm a golden mouth, so I'll keep my word." I saw her passing by the rain, and said.
"That's great, we've wanted to go out for a walk." The queen said excitedly: "The drama I'm talking about today is not in vain."
Acting? Damn, it turns out that they pretend to be so heavy?
The queen gave me a blank look and said, "Just allow you to be outside alone all day long, so we sisters will go out for fun."
