Little Twins and Little Healer

"Mr. Chu is too serious, that is, Shanzi, you have the courage to be his personal student."

It seems that Guan Yibo and other students came back from the main hall after paying homage to the two gentlemen.

He also brought Tao Shan back.

While speaking, several people had already entered the house.

Tao Shan bowed to Xu Songcai and said, "Young Master Xu and Young Master Shen, Tao Shan is very honored to have you two come to the humble house."

Mr. Xu seemed to be still immersed in his fantasy, and did not answer.

Shen Maoxun had no choice but to stand on the top by himself, "Brother Tao is out, we are classmates, Brother Tao is a scholar, Shen should come to congratulate."

In fact, I don't want to come, we are not familiar, I am here, you are embarrassed, and I am also embarrassed.

However, this brother of mine is not up to snuff, I fell in love with Shuang'er from your village, and insisted on following him.

"Compared to the fame of a mere scholar, it's really embarrassing to compare with your brothers!" Tao Shan replied.

"Brother Tao is being humble!"

The two of them made a few hypocritical polite remarks, and then they were speechless.

Then the righteous Guan Yibo came over and dragged Tao Shan to their table.

……

After lunch, Mr. Ji and Mr. Chu went back home.

Guan Yibo led a group of people out in a mighty way, saying that he was going to enjoy the rural scenery.

What can Tao Shan do, he can only stay with him.

……

Xu Songcai, who was alone, took his good brother Shen Maoxun to find Tao Hongzhi's house based on his memory.

In front of the scorched wooden door struck by lightning.

A chubby little boy about ten years old squatted on the ground to poke ant holes.

Seeing two strangers walking towards him, he subconsciously wanted to run home.

"Hey, little brother, don't go. Is this Tao Hongzhi's house? Are you from this family?" Shen Maoxun asked.

Tao Wenling glanced at the two of them timidly, and said in a low voice, "This is my home. My name is Tao Wenling. Who are you looking for?"

He glanced at Xu Songcai again, feeling a little familiar, and asked, "Are you the magistrate? The one who gave the bride price to the family."

Xu Song was a little embarrassed how to answer these words.

He had no choice but to say: "I'm looking for Tao Wenyu, is he at home?"

"Tao Wenyu, that Shuang'er who can't get married, he doesn't live in our house, he lives on the mountain. My mother said that he is a mourner, and living at home will ruin our family's fortune. Savage. What are you doing here? Are you here to give a betrothal gift again? You can give me more golden candy cakes." Tao Wenling said.Thinking of the delicious pastries in the betrothal gift, the corners of my mouth seemed to drool.

"How do you talk, kid!" Shen Maoxun was very angry.

Even if a noble son like him is not favored at home, he has never seen such a vulgar, vulgar and shameless person.

Xu Songcai was also very angry, "Tao Wenling, you are Wen Yu's fourth younger brother, right? How can you utter evil words like this, it's simply insulting gentlemen. Where have you read all your books?!"

"I, I—" Seeing that the two were so angry, Tao Wenling hid by the door.

"I didn't go to school because I was sick, and Auntie agreed."

Seeing his excitement in poking the ant hole just now, it doesn't look like he's sick at all.

But Xu Songcai didn't want to care about other people's affairs.He asked, "Where are your parents?"

"Father has gone to the pier, and Auntie is at home." Tao Wenling said.Then he yelled into the yard: "Mother!"

The sound of hurried footsteps came, "Aniang is here, baby son, what's the matter?" Li Lianhua came out of the house in a hurry.

As soon as he went out, he saw two young men in brocade clothes at the door.

"Oh——this is Mr. Xu! Mr. Xu, come here, please come in!" Li Lianhua pulled Tao Wenling away and stuffed her behind the gate.

Then warmly greeted Xu Songcai to enter the door, "There is also this young master, please come in too!"

……

The two followed Li Lianhua into the main hall and sat down.

"Wenxiu, make tea for the two gentlemen!" Li Lianhua roared into the room.

Tao Wenxiu responded crisply.

"Madam Tao, I'm here this time to meet Wen Yu." Xu Song cut straight to the point.

Since this woman spoke ill of Wen Yu behind her back, there was no need to be too polite to her.

"Wen Yu, um, he's not at home today. Or, you can choose another day—" Seeing Xu Songcai's dark face, Li Lianhua immediately changed his words: "He's gone to the mountain, I'll go find him right now."

"Mrs. Laotao is here." Xu Songcai said calmly.

"No trouble, no trouble, please sit down, Mr. Xu, and I will go to the mountain to look for it right away."

Li Lianhua stood up, and said to the room: "Wenxiu, you little girl, hurry up, come out and accompany the two young masters, I will go to the mountains."

"You don't need to bother with hospitality. We'll go to Tao Shan's house and wait. You can bring Wen Yu to Tao Shan's house directly." After Xu Song finished speaking, he got up and left, followed by Shen Maoxun.

Tao Wenxiu, who had just dressed up, chased after her, only seeing two figures from their backs going away.

She was a girl, and she couldn't go out to chase the two men directly, so she could only stomp her feet angrily.

……

Li Lianhua didn't know exactly where Tao Wenyu's hut was, but seeing Mr. Xu's face, she dared not say she didn't know.

All she knew was the location of the Tao family's ancestral grave, and she planned to try her luck there.

Isn't Tao Wenyu always acting very close to the old man?He also kept mourning for three years, which attracted praise from the old people in the family.

A person pretends to be filial to earn fame, and his two precious sons are said to be unfilial.

Pooh!A twin son, no matter how filial he is, can he become a son?

She went to see today. After three years of filial piety, Tao Wenyu still went to the cemetery.If not, let's see if Tao Wenyu has the face to pretend to be a filial son and grandson again.

……

Li Lianhua hurried up Qingmen Mountain, ran all the way, and went straight to the Tao family's ancestral grave.

People in Taojia Village were all buried in this ancestral grave after death.

Although Mr. Tao was an official, he didn't do anything special. He just built an ordinary grave, with a blue stone tablet standing in front of it.

Tao Wenyu often came to worship, and the area around the tomb was cleaned up without a single weed.

This time, because it was his grandfather's Mingshou, he also set up a small altar with some of his grandfather's favorite dishes and some snacks on it.

Burning incense and praying, paying homage, and then a long sacrificial oration, which he wrote himself.After the whole ceremony was completed, Tao Wenyu sat cross-legged in front of the tomb, talking about the recent events in detail.

"Grandfather, Brother Ren can stand up now, but it's still difficult to walk."

"Brother Ren knows a lot of medicinal materials. He not only taught me to recognize medicinal materials, but also taught me how to process medicinal materials. I have learned them all."

"Doctor Huang also praised me that my medicinal materials are getting better and better. He said that I can earn money by collecting herbs in the future. I also think it's good to do this."

"I didn't go back at noon today, and I don't know if Brother Ren can heat up the porridge. I prepared it for him, and he will use the fire to light the stove."

"I taught him several times, but he still can't use Huozhangzi well. Obviously Huozhangzi is so easy to use, much better than Huozhe."

……

Tao Wenyu's babbling was interrupted by a burst of hurried and messy footsteps.

"Hey, I'm so exhausted, I finally found you." Li Lianhua panted.

"Hmph... It's actually in the cemetery, and I'm not afraid to come too diligently and get dirty with something! Come, come, come back with me, Mr. Xu is waiting for you!"

Tao Wenyu didn't answer.

Li Lianhua took a few breaths, seeing that he didn't move, she wanted to reach out to grab him.

"Hurry up, Mr. Xu is waiting!"

Tao Wenyu stepped back, avoided Li Lianhua's hand, and said, "I won't go."

Li Lianhua's grabbing action was too strong, and she caught nothing, her feet were unsteady, and she staggered forward.

Fortunately, she has been working all year round, and her reaction is considered quick, so she stabilized herself.

"Can you not go if you don't want to go? What kind of person is Mr. Xu, the son of the magistrate's family. He said he wants to see you, and you have to crawl over!" Li Lianhua yelled dissatisfied.

Tao Wenyu remained unmoved and turned around to leave.

Li Lianhua was in a hurry, "Hey, don't go, you little bastard. I am your mother, you have to listen to me, please stop!"

The last time he went to that farce-like wedding was the last time he listened to the words of his biological mother.

Over the years, he has had enough of being persecuted again and again, and all kinds of outrageous and unreasonable demands.

Tao Wenyu didn't want to hear any more.

"If you don't stop, I'll kick this old man's grave!" Li Lianhua roared.

Tao Wenyu stopped abruptly.He turned around angrily and stared straight at Li Lianhua.

Li Lianhua was taken aback by his eyes, "I'm just talking, talking. I won't do anything."

Li Lianhua didn't have the guts either.Mr. Tao is not only her father-in-law, but also the only Jinshi master who has been born in Taojia Village for so many years.

No matter how muddled she is, she dare not move the old man's grave.Otherwise, the whole village could have skinned her.

……

"Wen Yu, brother Yu, come down the mountain with me. Mr. Xu just wants to see you, and you can come back after seeing you." Li Lianhua didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and could only speak as nicely as possible.

She had to take Tao Wenyu down, otherwise Mr. Xu would get angry and ask for the dowry back?

"Brother Yu, what request do you have, as long as you agree to go back with me, you say, I will agree to you." Li Lianhua made a small plan and promised him first in empty words.At that time, it is not up to her to decide whether to give things or not.

"I'll give you five taels of silver, how about it?" Seeing that Tao Wenyu didn't speak, he said again: "I'll give you another set of dishes, white porcelain, the most expensive porcelain in the betrothal gift is this set."

That set of white porcelain has no pattern, so it must be worthless, just use it to fool Tao Wenyu, a fool.

"I don't want money, and I don't want your dishes." Tao Wenyu said. "You give me back my grandfather's things."

After Mr. Tao passed away, Tao Hongzhi, as the only son, inherited all of Mr. Tao's property.

Not only did he take away the old man's few silver coins, but he even moved the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, books and paintings, and even furniture and decorations.

"Okay, I'll give you all, you come down the mountain with me." Li Lianhua said cheerfully.

She had already sold all the valuable things, only a broken box, a few broken books, and some odds and ends remained.It would be too much space to put it there, so she threw it into the backyard.

Seeing that she agreed, Tao Wenyu stopped talking, turned around, and walked straight down the mountain.
