Chapter 40: The Concubine Tao Zongwang
After everyone ate the braised meat, they felt hot and sober. I rearranged the plate and ate again.
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Although this place is only a hundred miles away from us, our fate is shallow and we have never met each other. The three of us brothers love to meet heroes the most, and it turns out that we are only here."
< br>Picked up the bowl and bowed again. Guanghui returned the bow again. He only left after eating until he was very drunk.
Zhao Zhen returned to the main room drunkenly, and was helped to sleep by the free boy. Tonight, there were a few people who were either excited or uneasy and couldn't sleep for a long time.
Li Gu coughed badly at night and leaned on the kang, half-lying, coughing from time to time. Two of the remaining eight apprentices were left to wait on him, while the other six went home. Today it happened that Tang Shu brought an apprentice to serve him.
When Zhao Yuanli knocked on the door, they were about to go to bed. When they heard the knock on the door, they got up quickly. They heard it was Zhao Yuanli, the steward. One opened the door quickly, and the other went to invite the master Li Gu.
Zhao Yuanli did not hesitate, opened the food box, took out a bowl of fish, and said to Li Gu: "Master Li, this is a spiritual thing buried in the mud. This bowl can strengthen a little spiritual power. Today's Village The master got this thing, asked the kitchen to prepare it, and asked me to deliver it overnight."
In addition to teaching apprentices these days, Li Gu also started making bone sculptures, polishing the aggregates during the day, and inhaling them again. Some bone meal, and at the same time, I am a little tired and feel more uncomfortable at night.
Li Gu was like this because he still had worries in his heart, fearing that he would not be able to show his value and would be kicked out again. Now seeing the bowl of spiritual fish meat that Zhao Yuanli took out, he felt excited and coughed even more violently.
Tang Shu quickly stepped forward and stroked his back, which relieved him a little. He asked Tang Shu to take the bowl from Zhao Yuanli's hand and said, "I'm sorry for the owner of the village. I won't do what he wants for the rest of his life. He will only serve the owner of the village."
After hearing this, Zhao Yuanli nodded slightly, with a hint of envy. He said: "If you eat it while it's hot, you can go to work earlier and get rid of the sick." After that, Li Gu went out without waiting for his reaction.
Zhao Yuanli went to Sun Zhengchu and Brother Yun to give the spirit fish again, and also talked about the benefits of Zhao Zhen, which made Sun Zheng and Brother Yun grateful. Brother Yun even became red-eyed and fell down on the spot. Tears, speaking frankly about the blessing of meeting the owner of the village and cultivating in three lifetimes.
The last person to go was Bai Duo, who lived in the village. Zhao Yuanli knocked on Bai Duo's door and deliberately shouted: "Mr. Bai, please get up and discuss something." After a while, he waited. , Bai Duo got up and opened the door.
Bai Li, Bai Zhang, and Bai Zhi were also quarreled. Zhao Yuanli said: "Mr. Bai, the owner of the village got some spiritual fish today. I heard that eating these fish can strengthen your spirit. He asked me to bring them to Miss Bai."
After saying that, without looking at the reactions of the four members of the Bai family, he took out the fish from the food box, put it into Bai Duo's hands, cupped his hands, and said goodbye.
The four members of the Bai family were left standing outside the door, looking at each other. After a while, Bai Duo finally spoke: "Come in, everyone." The four of them sat down and stared at the bowl of spiritual fish meat in the middle, not knowing how to speak.
It was Bai Li who said: "The first male should get married, and the first female should get married. This is a major event in the human cycle. It is the gift of the Wuchang. Zhi'er is always older, and the owner of Zhaozhuang is also young and promising. He also has a wide family business. If the owner of the village is really interested, he will be considered a good match. My family is considered to be in a high position. "
Bai Duo said: "You are so ignorant. This person from the upper realm of Zhuangzhao, How can I marry Zhi'er? I'm afraid I can only be a concubine."
"This..., what can I do? It's all foggy. I have no choice. I don't know where to go. Go." Bai Li said.
Bai Zhang was speechless.
Seeing Bai Duo's sad face, Bai Li explained again: "As the saying goes, it is better to be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife. I am afraid that there is no other person in Xixi Village who can match the master of Zhaozhuang. "Compared." Then he looked at his daughter Bai Zhi and asked, "Daughter, what do you think?"
Bai Zhi blushed, looked at the three of them shyly and said, "Father, mother, brother, no need." "Trouble, as my mother said, Zhuangzhuang's son is quite handsome, so it doesn't mean he has insulted his daughter." After that, he hurried back to his room.
The three of them were left in a mess. Bai Duo said with a dark face: "Humph, you can't stay in college if you are a female student." After saying that, he went back to his room angrily.
Mr. Bai Li said to Bai Zhang: "Da Lang, I will go and inform Manager Zhao tomorrow that my family agrees and the date will be agreed upon. But there is one thing to explain. The wife does not dare to hope, but she has to She is a good concubine." After saying that, she picked up the fish on the table and went to Bai Zhi's room.
Zhao Zhen was drinking happily. He didn't know that he had a good concubine for nothing, just because he glanced at her twice.
The next day, Zhao Zhen got up a little late and still went to the east courtyard to build up his strength and practice some martial arts.
While having breakfast, Zhao Yuanli came to report that there was a good man outside the door with many refugees. Zhao Zhen threw down the bowls and chopsticks and hurried out of Zhuangzi.
I took a glance, but saw a short, six-foot-five-six man standing in front of him, carrying a big shovel, and behind him were more than a hundred men and women, all dressed in ragged clothes and with disheveled faces. There are a few in the middle who are decorated.
Zhao Zhen said: "Quickly ask Bai Langzhong to bandage the injured person."
Zhao Zhen walked down the steps, cupped his hands and said: "May I ask what the strong man is called? How did he bring so many people here? Where is it?"
The man replied: "The villain Tao Zongwang is from Guangzhou. They all call the villain to be a nine-tailed turtle."
There is a poem to prove it:
Short in stature and black in appearance, he dares to dig the foundation of Mount Tai with a shovel.
Tao Zongwang, a villager in Guangzhou, was strangely known as the Nine-tailed Turtle.

"There was a drought in the villain's hometown, and the government did not provide any relief, but still had to collect taxes. We had no choice but to abandon our homes and businesses. We heard from the village owners that they were looking for talented people, so we brought many villagers to join us. Along the way After many hardships, there are still more than 200 people. I hope the owner of the village will take me in." After saying this, he bowed down, and the victims behind him also bowed down, and Zhao Zhen hurriedly helped him.
He said: "A good man brings people to vote, so he has to accept them." He immediately asked everyone to help him sit down and rest under the shade of a tree. He also asked for hot water and ordered the kitchen to cook porridge.
Zhao Zhen was talking with Tao Zongwang. Four people from the Bai family came in a hurry for diagnosis and treatment with treasure boxes in hand. Angelica dahurica snorted at Zhao Zhen as they passed by.
