Quickly pass through and refuse to be cannon fodder

Under such circumstances, Tao Dayong returned to Taojia Village with his people, and the whole village was a sensation. Even the county magistrate came here specially from the county seat.

In fact, Yuan Jing and Tao Dayong have been exchanging letters with the patriarch in the past few years. There are Yuan Jing's clansmen in Taojia Village. To be able to manage the tribe well, and at the same time, I hope that a few juniors in the tribe will be successful and enter the officialdom in the future, so that Tao Yuanze and his descendants will not be without the support of the tribe.

It's just that the time is short, so far, apart from Yuan Jing, who has passed the exam, not even a child student in Taojia Village has passed the exam.

Tao Dayong used to be nervous when he saw the county magistrate, but now he has seen many honorable officials in the capital, so he is very comfortable communicating with the county magistrate, and let the villagers of Taojia Village see and realize that Tao Dayong is different today up.

Tao Dayong stayed in Taojia Village for a month and settled all the things that he had discussed with his family, including buying a sacrifice field, allowing school-age children in the village to go to school for free, supporting the widowed and lonely elderly in the village, and the monthly salary of the teacher in the school. , all come from the output of the sacrifice field.

Although no one has lived in Yuan Jing’s house for the past few years, it has been cleaned all the time, so Tao Dayong lived in it when he returned to the village. He also left money for the patriarch to help rebuild a house. No matter how old he is, he still has to go back to Taojia Village, and he and his wife also have the same idea.

Tao Dayong is returning home this time, and he himself is very happy. Probably the only disappointment is that his sister-in-law always looks for him behind her back, saying that she misses the old lady and wants to serve the old lady, and let the old lady meet his relatives. Grandson Tao Jinbao, Tao Dayong doesn't know what Wang's thoughts are, now that Tao Yuzhu is still in the capital, Tao Dayong can't get Wang over there, maybe let Tao Yuzhu know the news and turn around and cling to Yuanjing of his family.

Of course, Tao Dayong didn't know that Tao Yuzhu would never leave the yard where he was, so he remained vigilant towards Tao Yuzhu and Wang.

When they were leaving, Tao Dayong and Tao Dazhu were drinking and talking together again. Tao Dayong asked Tao Dazhu if he wanted to go to the capital.

Tao Dazhu cried when he thought of the past. He missed the old lady very much. In recent years, he has not been able to show respect to the elderly. Keeping the roots of the Tao family, waiting for the old lady to come back one day.

Tao Dayong's eyes were also red. Before he got married and had children, the relationship between the two brothers was very good. On this day, the two brothers were both drunk. Kouzi, he knows what Wang is thinking, and he will restrain Wang.

On the day when Tao Dayong left the village and returned to Beijing, Tao Hua brought his family, as well as the members of the Song family of Yue's family, including the married couple, all came back to see Tao Dayong off.

Now they have Tao Yuanjing as their support, and they are living a good life. They are not as greedy as Wang's. With Tao Yuanjing as an example, they can urge their children to study well, and they may be able to pass the exam in the future. Yuanjing Isn't that the way to go?

Tao Dayong left things for his second sister, Tao Hua, and the Song family of the Yue family. Some of them were confessed by the old lady, and others were ordered by Mrs. Song. Theirs, so as not to make Wang jealous.

Until he left Taojia Village, Tao Dayong never mentioned Tao Yuzhu, and his family members and relatives never mentioned such a person. How many years have passed, and everyone has left this person behind. They really think she died outside, but don’t think so. She can survive outside alone.

Back in the capital again, there was no sadness left, and Tao Dayong happily threw himself into his busy life, because Yuan Jing bought another Zhuangzi, which was connected with the original one, and Tao Dayong took care of it. Nice to have something to do.

Then Yuan Jing bought another shop, and the shop was handed over to the old lady and Mrs. Song. The two sold food and various snacks made from goat milk. Later, Yuan Jing taught them how to make biscuits and pastries. Not to mention, the business is pretty good. The busier the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are, the younger they are, and the small coffers are filled again.

The whole family, together with Tao Yuanze, who was studying in the school, came to the Zhuangzi again, and Di Yu came with him. Di Yu was very excited when he thought of being able to run horses and hunt in the Zhuangzi.Senior brother has long been disappointed with this son, and this son may return to the ranks of generals.

"Ah, Brother Cheng is here again. This time, Brother Cheng will take us into the mountains to hunt wild boars and deer." Seeing Mu Chengan appearing at the foot of the mountain on horseback, Tao Yuanze happily ran over. The family knew him well, and seeing him appear, the Tao family was no longer restrained.

Tao Dayong was quite reassuring, he was just a guard at the Prince Zhenbei’s mansion, and the King of Zhenbei came here in person, so there was nothing to worry about, so he greeted Cheng An kindly and asked him what he would like to eat , he ordered the cook to add more vegetables.

"Cheng An" also ordered a few dishes casually, and then said goodbye to the Tao family, and took Yuan Jing and two young ones into the mountains to hunt.

The old lady watched them go into the mountain with a smile, and turned around and said something to Mrs. Song and Tao Dayong, which almost caused them to fall: "You said, this guard named Cheng An is the same as Yuan Jing from our family. Isn't it a good match?"

Both Tao Dayong and Xiao Song were frightened, Tao Dayong patted his heart: "Mother, what are you talking about, Cheng'an is the guard of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion."

The old lady glared at her son. How long has it been? Haven't you accepted the reality yet? "Don't you look at how many people approached our family's Yuan Jing after he came to the capital, and Cheng guards treated our family well? Yuanze's Master Wu was introduced by Cheng guards, and even Di Yu said This Master Wu's kung fu is very good, even better than that of the Di family, you don't want to think about what kind of family the Di family is."

The Di family is a family that produces military generals. Can their family's martial arts master be inferior?Of course it's not bad, and his own Master Wu is even better, which shows that Cheng's bodyguard really cares about the Tao family.

"Also, Tao Wu beside Yuanjing is also talented, and he was introduced by the guard. I don't think the guard should be an ordinary guard. He must be a very useful person by the regent's side. With the regent around, he is afraid of becoming a guard. Will I always be a bodyguard in the future? My old lady thinks that she will be prosperous in the future when she sees the demeanor of a bodyguard."

"Guard Cheng treats our family so attentively. It's better to be a guard than someone else. Our Yuan Jing is also very happy to be with Guard Cheng."

After contacting him twice, the old lady actually paid attention to Shangcheng's guards, and the more she watched, the more satisfied she became.

Xiao Song and Tao Dayong looked at each other. They really didn't think so much at first, but now that the old lady said so, they found that Cheng's guards really cared about Tao's family. impossible.

"Is it just Cheng Weiwei who can agree? If he agrees not to marry a wife for the rest of his life, he will be a good match for Yuan Jing, and what about Cheng Wei's family?" The couple, including the old lady, were also worried about Yuan Jing. .

The old lady made a decision: "Talk to Yuan Jing another day. If you can book it, book it sooner. You can't always let Cheng guards follow our family Yuanjing without knowing it, and contribute to the Tao family."

Tao Dayong and Xiao Song nodded unanimously, that's right, the names should be decided earlier.

In the mountains, Tao Yuanze and Di Yu ran away, and of course people arranged by Mu Chengan were watching behind him, while he and Yuan Jing walked hand in hand in the mountains.

Mu Cheng'an complained: "I have shown my face in front of your family many times, when will I be able to rectify my identity?"

Yuan Jing burst into laughter, and occasionally his family members would praise him when they mentioned "becoming a bodyguard." He patted him and said, "If you work harder, maybe my grandma will consider becoming a bodyguard."

In fact, Yuan Jing also knew that the old lady had already paid attention to Shang Cheng's bodyguards, and she might be able to book it if she went further.

Mu Chengan was still dissatisfied: "I can't always come here as a bodyguard, can I? In the future when we are together, I will still be a bodyguard? Do you think this identity can be kept secret forever?"

"Of course not," Yuan Jing scratched his chin, "but I'm still afraid of scaring my family." After all, I came here from the common people. .”

"Oh, it's really not easy to marry you home." Mu Chengan said falsely.

"Who will marry whom? Now our Tao family will give you the title." Yuan Jing emphasized with his chin raised.

"Fine, it's what you say it is." Mu Chengan didn't care about the verbal title, and the real thing was when he abducted the person to his bed, anyway, it was just that the person belonged to him, Mu Chengan.

Yuan Jing didn't understand the hidden meaning, and proudly patted the chest of the person beside him and said, "Don't worry, I won't be half-hearted towards you, our Tao family doesn't like this."

Mu Chengan was so pleased with his small appearance, he grabbed his paw and bit his mouth, the two of them were fighting in the woods, and the guards behind him didn't even notice the young prince who had lost his age. up.

That night, Mu Chengan lived in the Tao family's village as a habit. He took Tao Yuanze and Di Yu to practice martial arts in the evening and the next morning. Tao Dayong and Xiao Song didn't care at first, but after being reminded by the old lady, It was found that this Cheng guard was really no different from his family members.

So when Tao Dayong got along with Cheng An again, he asked him openly and secretly what kind of family he had and what plans he had in the future. He is the only one left, his parents died early, and his tribe can't control him, so he can decide everything by himself. In the future, he just needs to find someone close to live with him.

This made Tao Dayong even more satisfied. Didn't he appear for his family's Yuan Jing? It's better if he doesn't have a family. If he has a family, maybe Cheng An will marry a wife and have children, and he will agree to be with a man?

Tao Dayong told the old lady and Xiao Song that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had the same meaning as Tao Dayong, and they were more satisfied with Cheng'an's guards. They wished that this matter could be settled soon, so they called Yuan Jing and asked straight to the point:

"Yuanjing, did you and Cheng'an's bodyguard see each other long ago? Grandma and your parents both look very well at Cheng'an's bodyguard."

Yuan Jing almost didn't hold back his expression, except that Tao Yuanze and Di Yu went back to their room, and the three pairs of eyes in the room were all looking forward, what else could Yuan Jing say?Of course, he bit the bullet and said: "He is not bad, he is very good to me and our family."

The old lady had an expression of "I thought they saw each other a long time ago", a stone in Tao Dayong's heart finally fell to the ground, but at the same time he felt sour, like marrying a daughter, obviously he raised It's my son.

No, it was Yuan Jing who married Guard Cheng into his family, yes, that's how it was.

The old lady patted his hand on Yuan Jing's expression again, "Yuan Jing, if you have anything to say, you can tell grandma, grandma will make decisions for you, and your father will listen to grandma."

Tao Dayong black line, is he the most statusless father in the family?

Yuan Jing gritted his teeth and confessed honestly: "Actually, Cheng An's surname is not Cheng."

"Huh? Then what's his last name?" Tao Dayong asked curiously.

"His surname is Mu."

"Oh, is it called Mu Cheng'an? It's a nice name." Tao Dayong called by his first and last names.

The old lady also said happily: "I also think it sounds good."

As soon as the words fell, there was a splash in the room. The old lady and Xiao Song looked at the same time, and saw Tao Dayong sitting on the ground with his buttocks on the ground, with a look of shock on his face. Yuan Jing wanted to cover his face, but he was still frightened .

The old lady and Xiao Song didn't react, the old lady thumped her son: "Okay, I can't even sit on a stool, what's the use of you?"

Xiao Song also disliked it. Isn't this matter all settled.

With a mournful face, Tao Dayong asked his son for confirmation: "Yuan Jing, this matter is not really what father thinks."

Yuan Jing quickly helped his father: "Father, is there any difference between being called Cheng An or Mu Cheng An?"

"There's a big difference!" Tao Dayong patted his legs, "Mother, Alan, Mu..." Tao Dayong was so frightened that he didn't dare to call him by his first name, "That's King Zhenbei, Prince Regent! Think about it Who is the owner of the Zhuangzi next door?"

Tao Dayong was really about to cry, he was still thinking about letting another man marry into the Tao family and become a member of the Tao family, now he is fine, the man his son is looking for is the current regent, the most powerful man in Daxia now, How dare he say such words?Thinking of him instructing the regent to do things during the day, Tao Dayong wished to turn back the time and quickly covered his mouth.

"That's the Prince Regent. Isn't Cheng An just one of the Prince Regent's guards?" The old lady hadn't realized it yet. That's right, who would call Zhenbei King and the Prince Regent by their first names.

"Mother, Cheng An is not a guard, he is the regent himself! If you don't believe me, ask your grandson!" Tao Dayong said weakly.

"Really?" The old lady raised her voice.

"Grandma, calm down, mother, calm down too." Yuan Jing quickly comforted them, fearing that they would roll their eyes and faint.

The old lady calmed down for a while and finally calmed down. Xiao Song lost her nerves and looked at the old lady and her man begging for help. This matter is up to the old lady and the man. The guard was very imposing, it turned out that he was really not just a little guard.

Xiao Song swallowed her saliva, she thought that the regent respected herself as an elder during the day, and a strange vanity arose in her heart.

The old lady held her eldest grandson's hand tightly, and asked again: "Is the Cheng'an guard the King of Zhenbei?"

"Yes, grandma, you are right."

The old lady repeated again: "Cheng An's bodyguard is the current regent?"

"Yes, Cheng An is the regent."

The old lady took a breath, and continued to encourage: "Cheng An, who is very polite to me, an old lady, is really the regent?"

Yuan Jing couldn't laugh or cry, especially when he looked at his mother with the same eyes, so he nodded cooperatively: "Yes, grandma, you read that right, Cheng An respects grandma like an elder, and the same for father and mother."

The old lady rubbed her heart again, she was a little scared to accept this identity: "No wonder Master Huineng said that our eldest grandson is the fate of the rich and powerful, the master really hit the mark."

"Grandma, without the regent, your grandson can still make grandma and you live a rich life."

"Yes, grandma's eldest grandson is blessed and capable." The old lady nodded affirmatively, she did not rely on the regent to live a good life.

But the old lady had a new worry: "Will the regent live with you Yuanjing for the rest of his life? What if the regent repents?"

The regent is too powerful, can the grandson be the master if he follows him?At this time, the old lady felt that she was not as good as a bodyguard. The bodyguard could only listen to her grandson. If the regent repented one day, wouldn't her grandson suffer?

Seeing that his parents showed the same worried expression, Yuan Jing felt warm in his heart. His parents and grandma thought of him first, worrying that he would suffer.

"Grandma, father and mother, Cheng An's body was destroyed by the late emperor long ago, and he couldn't have children, so the incident of adopting the young prince happened before, but there has been no one around Cheng An in these years, grandma, I think I can believe it." His, besides, his grandson is younger than him, Cheng An should be worried, what if one day I think he is old?"

Yuan Jing muttered to himself, hoping that Cheng An didn't know what he said, otherwise there would definitely be trouble again.

If Wu Yi, who was squatting on the roof, heard it, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, showing sympathy for his master, the master must take good care of him, otherwise he might be despised by Master Tao one day.

The three people in the room thought of the age of the regent. Yes, the regent has an adopted son, who seems to be older than his family Yuan Jing, which means that the regent can be a father to Yuan Jing.

Tao Dayong hesitated: "Are you older?" Doesn't it mean that the son-in-law here will be about the same age as his father?

Wu Yi almost rolled off the roof, silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The old lady and Xiao Song accepted it well: "It doesn't matter if you are older, you will know how to love others when you are older."

In this way, what Yuan Jing said makes sense, the regent is older than Yuan Jing, so it is the regent who should be worried.

Bah bah, their family Yuanjing is not the kind of half-hearted person, they must have lived together, their family Yuanjing has a good temper.

The old lady looked out of the window and asked her eldest grandson in a low voice: "Is it true that the prince can't give birth? Did you ask the late emperor to break his body?"

Yuan Jing often checks Mu Chengan's pulse. In fact, he knows that his body has been recuperated a long time ago, and there is absolutely no problem in having a child.

But this does not prevent him from speaking out to make his family feel at ease, so he nodded and said: "This is true. In fact, Cheng An and I have known each other for a long time. Do you still remember that we went to climb mountains outside the city together in Wenchang City? That's it." Back, I met the injured Cheng An in the mountains and helped him, but I didn’t know his identity at that time, and I only found out when I met him again in the capital.”

Wu Yi thought to himself, Tanhualang's mouth is really powerful, he frightened his family for a while.

After being reminded, Tao Dayong also remembered: "Back in the city, the strict investigation was to investigate the Zhenbei King at that time? I didn't expect Yuan Jing to know Zhenbei King so early."

In this way, the two are indeed destined. The three elders all remembered what Master Huineng said that the marriage should not be forcibly broken. Is it true that the marriage is destined by heaven?
