209. The Carpenter's Daughter
209. The daughter of the carpenter's house
"I passed the exam a few days ago and have been invited to various social events these days, so I didn't have time to notify you, right? I finally got free today, so I'll come to you to have a drink."
"Why are you going to fight? You are stupid! Even if you are the top martial arts scholar, will you fight?"
"Do you know how the martial arts top scholar passed the exam? Do you think it's just a martial arts sword and a gun? Just like you said, "The limbs are developed and the mind is simple. This requires a test of military strategy."
Tao Tao was still worried for him, "Even if you understand the art of war, it's just a matter of talking about war. If you don't have practical experience, it's not the case when you get to the real battlefield. That's a matter of losing your head!"
Feng Mingwen laughed, "So you care about me so much and care about me. You, a friend, have not been in vain."
Tao Tao gave him a blank look and ignored him.
Feng Mingwen was not annoyed, and ran into the house with a smile to find Mr. Qiao.
That night, Mr. Qiao, Feng Mingwen and Tao Tao went to Zuixianglou to drink, and Feng Mingwen got drunk.
He said that his father always asked him to take the palace exam and became a civil servant in the future, but he has liked to play with swords since he was a child. So over the years, he has been living in the shadow of his father and elder brother, and lived a very frustrated life. Since he met Tao Tao, the light and heat of his life have truly emanated.
His father never dreamed that he could become the top martial arts scholar.
Therefore, in the face of facts, my father had to admit his ability in this regard.
Since childhood, this is the first time he has raised his chest in front of his father.
Feng Mingwen raised his hands and held his chin, staring at Tao Tao's face.
"Brother Zicheng, sometimes, I have a strange feeling. I always feel that if you are a woman, I will definitely marry you. Even if it is as you said, I will marry into the Tao Mansion."
Tao Tao slapped Feng Mingwen on the table with a palm.
He didn't hide or avoid him, and was beaten to the table by Tao Tao.
He continued to murmur, "I'm also surprised, how could I fall in love with a man? My family has been doing blind dates for me these days. I'm not interested in the ladies of princes and nobles at all, but I only have brother Zicheng in my heart. What's wrong with me? I don't like men either, I just regret that why brother Zicheng is not a woman. This feeling is quite strange."
Tao Tao said to Mr. Qiao: "Old Qiao, look at him saying something crazy, let Xiao Shitou bring him back! If someone hears his crazy words, it will have a great impact on his career. He will be a person who will make achievements in the future!"
Feng Mingwen was drunk and was taken back by several servants who Tao Tao called.
Tao Tao wanted to go back with him, but Mr. Qiao stayed behind.
Tao Tao knew that Qiao always had something to say to her.
Mr. Qiao slowly drank the tea for a while, then slowly put down the cup and said something amazing, "Although Feng Mingwen has a rough personality, his feelings are not wrong, and he has nothing to do with it, because you are just a woman."
Tao Tao was shocked and recalled carefully what he did wrong, allowing Mr. Qiao to see the flaws.
"You did a good job, and your every move and expression were no different from ordinary men, but don't forget that I am a doctor. No matter how well you disguise, you can't escape my eyes."
In front of the wise man, Tao Tao gave up making unnecessary excuses for himself.
"What else does Mr. Qiao know?"
"I know everything."
"Know everything?"
"Do you still remember? The day after I arrived at Tao Mansion, I left Tao Mansion for five days. Do you know where I went in those five days?"
"Did you... have you gone to Sankeshu Village?"
"You guessed it right, I just went to Sankeshu Village, and I knew everything that happened there."
"The causes and consequences of the disappearance of King Zheng, Mr. Hu and the daughter of the Tao family."
Tao Tao was even more surprised, "How do you know King Zheng?"
Even the people from the Hu family and the people from the government did not know who was with Tao Tao and Mr. Hu that day.
"When your father left the capital, this master kept staring at your father. You have been leaving the capital for twelve years and have been safe and sound. Why did it suddenly become turbulent? The Tao family's daughter disappeared. When the Tao family moved back to the capital, the master also disappeared. Do you think, is there such a coincidence?"
"So, Mr. Qiao knew my true identity two years ago?"
"I knew when I came back from Sankeshu Village that I doubted your identity before I went to Sankeshu."
"So, Mr. Qiao began to doubt me when he saw me at first?"
"You are seventy-sixth-same like Tao Xing. Moreover, Old Master Tao and Mrs. Tao trust you too much, right? No matter what, you are just an adopted son. Soon after we met, they handed over the entire Tao family to you without reservation."
"You know, they just experienced a disaster, why are they so unprepared for you who have just met you?"
Tao Tao drank tea silently.
Sure enough, she overestimated her ability to disguise. In front of a master like Mr. Qiao, she had nowhere to hide.
"Old Qiao, I have been raising three sisters. I hope they will grow up quickly, get married and start a career. In this way, once my task is completed, I will never pretend to be myself. I can leave with confidence and be myself."
"That's how you plan?"
"Of course, I want to let all three sisters be married at home. On the one hand, they can not be angry with their in-laws. On the other hand, I want them to carry forward the Tao family and pass on it."
"People outside say that my father died of illness because his only son died of illness. The Tao family has no male members and his energy is exhausted. I don't believe in this evil. I want to break this situation and let the three sisters of the Tao family take care of each other and let the descendants of the Tao family continue."
Mr. Qiao twisted his snow-white beard.
"You dare to think about all three sisters."
"I not only dare to think, but also dare to do it. I want to recruit the top martial arts scholar to the Tao family."
"You want to restore your daughter?"
Tao Tao glanced at Old Qiao with contempt.
"I just want to die so much! I'm still burying my family with me."
"Who will recruit the top martial arts scholar?"
"Didn't you say that I am seventy-seventh-small like Tao Xing?"
"You mean, let Tao Xing recruit the top scholar in martial arts?"
"Old Qiao, please let you get old for this matter."
"Aren't you making things difficult for me? Not to mention that Feng Mingwen is now the top scholar in martial arts, and is about to go to the border to make achievements. Even if he didn't get the top scholar in martial arts, their family would not allow him to marry into the Tao family."
