Little Xiucai's Flowery Love History

Chapter 63

Tao Linghua climbed to the top of the wall, and against the shadow of the lamp, he found a few maids kneeling by the door of Mu Qi next door, holding Mu Xiu, Mu Qicai's son who was less than two years old, in her arms. The little baby was wearing a big red silk jacket, crying The earth-shattering, choking sound.

Mu Qi stood there humming angrily, and said to his mother-in-law: "Take the young master back!"

The mother-in-law cried: "Master, just hug the young master, he just misses you, he didn't knock over the inkstone on purpose."

Mu Qi was still about to say something, when he suddenly looked up and saw Tao Linghua looking over the wall, he immediately shut up, waved his hands, and the women went down with the children.

Suspiciously, Tao Linghua got off the ladder and carried the wine jar into the house, sighing in his heart, a child without a mother is suffering, but fortunately his son has several fathers who love him, if he has a father like Mu Qi, it will be bad luck for the child.

Here Mu Qi went back to the study, looked at the stained scroll on the table and sighed.Hearing the laughter next door, with only a lonely lamp to accompany me here, I irritably rolled the ink-stained painting into a ball, spread a new piece of paper, calmed down, adjusted the colors, and began to sketch slowly.

Because Zhao Tai didn't like Buzhigude, he came to make noise every day, or put some alkali in his food and drink, or put a little more salt, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to use these children's tricks.

Tao Linghua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to discuss with Buzhigude to send him back, so as not to suffer here.It's a pity that Buzhigude finally had the opportunity to get close to his sweetheart, even if he ate salt every day, he was happy with it.

Two months later, it was already early spring, and Mu Qi realized something was wrong. Tao Linghua had a very good attitude towards the Tatars, taking care of them every day, serving tea and meals, and being extremely careful.The servant lord immediately rang the alarm bell, no way, this tartar can torture people, if he doesn't do it well, he will succeed, how can he be more popular than himself?

Seeing that Buzhigude's leg was almost healed, Mu Qi immediately went to the book, saying that Mr. Heitai's illness had already recovered, and it was not appropriate to stay in Beijing any longer.Therefore, after the decree came down, Buzhigude had to leave with the mission.Before leaving, he insisted on giving Tao Linghua the necklace made of polished animal bones that he was wearing, saying that it was made by his mother when he was a child, and it was a talisman.Tao Linghua couldn't catch up, so he had to stay behind.Take a closer look at the necklace, each is a small piece of bone, carved like an eagle, very delicate.

Zhao Tai praised Mu Qi for his good work this time, but Mu Qili ignored him, so Zhao Tai kicked the wall again in anger, and said contemptuously, "It's strange!"

However, Mu Qi couldn't stay in Beijing, and an imperial decree came down, asking him to escort the mission and patrol the border by the way.

Zhao Tai's stomach ached from laughing, and his rivals were kicked away one by one, and he was in a particularly comfortable mood.

Mu Qi carried his son over to Tao Linghua, saying that there was no one at home and no one he could trust, so he had to leave it to him.Although Tao Linghua was reluctant, the child was not at fault. Originally, this child without a mother was loved by no one, and now his father is leaving, which is too pitiful.

Zhao Tai grumbled for several days because of this, and Tao Linghua had no choice but to please him more about the curtains, and only then did he turn around.

Almost a year has passed since Mu Qi went back and forth, and when he returned to Beijing, it was already early winter.His son refused to recognize him when he got home, he hid behind Tao Linghua and poked his head but couldn't come out, Tao Linghua had no choice but to pick him up and point to Mu Qi and said, "Xiu'er, this is your father, call him quickly."

Mu Xiu tilted his head, hung his hands on Tao Linghua's neck and said loudly, "I don't want him to be my father, I want you to be my father!"

Tao Linghua smiled helplessly: "How can I be your father? I am Tao Hui's father."

Mu Xiu yelled angrily: "Uncle Tao, this is not fair! Tao Hui has three fathers and they all love him. I only have one and they don't love me. I don't want this father, I want you!" After saying that, he burst into tears.

Tao Linghua was surprised, so young, only three years old, who taught this?

Mu Qi's expression was very complicated, and he wanted to take the child over. Who knew that this Mu Xiu had a lot of strength, and he grabbed Tao Linghua's neck with both hands and refused to let go. up.

After messing around for half an hour, I finally got him over.

But Mu Xiu still made Tao Linghua swear that he would not cry if he came to see him every day, otherwise he will cry to death for you!

This brat is simply perfect!

When Mu Qi returned to the dynasty, the Secretary of the Ministry of Hubu was old and returned to his hometown. Mu Qi was promoted on the spot and became Minister of the Ministry of Hubu. .However, Mu Qi doesn't want to be a cabinet scholar. It is a thankless position. Although he is a leader of public opinion and has a great reputation, he also has greater risks and pressure. If he fails, he will lose his wealth and life. Real power is good.

The days passed quickly, and it was another year in a blink of an eye.

In the winter of the 22nd year of Chenghua, the situation in the court became more complicated. First, the concubine Wan Gui was ill. Emperor Chenghua built many temples and Taoist temples in an extremely extravagant way to pray for himself and the concubine Wan Gui.

The party members attached to Concubine Wan are all mediocre people who are greedy for money and take power.The struggle for power between the various forces in the DPRK and China has become more intense.

Every time Zhao Tai went home, he would yell and curse. Tao Linghua and Zhao Hua were so frightened that they tried their best to hold him back, and they must not let outsiders hear him.Talking about government affairs and slandering powerful ministers is a capital offense if not handled properly.

The two secretly discussed or let Zhao Tai resign. In this chaotic court situation, if one is not careful, he may lose his life. It is better to resign and go home.After hearing this, Zhao Tai thought it was feasible, but he couldn't get away temporarily, so he had to seek it slowly.

While talking, it was already dinner time. Tao Linghua went out to arrange dinner, but saw the nanny of the Tao family coming over with Mu Xiu in his arms. : "Xiu'er, why are you here again?"

Mu Xiu smacked his little nose, and snorted with his small mouth: "Uncle Tao, you don't mean anything, you agreed to find me, but you didn't go, so I had to come to you. Besides, my father said Now, you are just like my father, who else can I look for if I don’t look for you?"

It is rare for a child less than four years old to speak so fluently and clearly. Tao Linghua also likes this child very much, he is so smart.He also thought of his mother, Yu Shi, even though she did something wrong to him, it was because of Mu Qi, after a few years, he no longer hated her.The child lost his mother a long time ago, so precocious, but he is a bit pitiful. His son Hui'er is only less than one year younger than him, and he didn't speak clearly.

Thinking of this, he deliberately laughed at him: "You are so old, why can't you leave your lord? Uncle Tao, I am very busy."

Mu Xiu curled his lips: "I know what you're busy with! You're just busy with Tao Hui's two fathers!"

Uh--

Tao Linghua almost didn't come up out of breath, and choked to death there.

Where did this villain learn it all?It's hardly like a child's words.He also got a little angry, and said with a tiger face: "If you talk nonsense again, I will beat you!"

Mu Xiu immediately burst into tears: "You don't love me! My father doesn't love me either! No one wants me—————" While crying, his body twisted into a twisted twist and wrapped around Tao Linghua's body, which was simply a headache.

Carrying Mu Xiu into the room, Zhao Hua was playing with Hui Er, the two of them couldn't stop laughing, Mu Xiu saw it, and immediately rushed over, grabbed Tao Hui and said, "Hui Er, shall I play with you?"

Huier nodded ignorantly.

Mu Xiu took his hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Hui'er, you have three fathers, and I only have one. I will give you my windmill. How about you give me a father? Let your father do it." My father?" It's hard for him to name so many fathers clearly.

Hui'er quit, and followed Mu Xiu around indiscriminately, trying to snatch the little windmill made of pink paper, Mu Xiu put his hands behind his back, and said loudly: "You have to let Uncle Tao be my father, so I will give it to you. "

Hui'er stretched out her little hand, almost crying, and shouted: "My father will be your father, give me the windmill—" She grinned and was about to cry, so Mu Xiu stuffed the windmill into his hand, and turned to Tao Linghua Shouted: "Uncle Tao, you will be my father from now on, you have to live with me!"

Tao Linghua deeply felt that this kid might have been specially taught by his father, otherwise why would he always pester him?

In fact, it's not bad to live this kind of life, even if you don't want to have any relationship with Mu Qi, you can just be a neighbor.

The days are busy and ordinary. Apart from being busy in the medical clinic, Tao Linghua has nothing to do when he goes home, just teasing the children and doing housework. Zhao Tai has already handed in the form of resignation, and he will probably be able to go back to his hometown soon and continue this mediocre work. day.

Although it's a bit regrettable that I can't make contributions and fulfill my man's dream, but it's safe and happy.

Tao Linghua thought that this peace would last forever.

When people are peaceful and happy, it is easy to forget what it means that there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings.That's why when a disaster strikes, you will be unprepared and feel heart-piercing pain.

Many years later, he still remembered the day when the first winter snow fell, and the bright red blood stains fell on the white snow, like red plums lying on the snow, which was shocking.

That morning, the first snow of this winter was falling, the world was white, and the red plums in the yard were in full bloom in the cold, sweet and fragrant.Tao Linghua took several children to build a snowman in the yard. The children laughed and made noises, like deer running in the snow.He had to go with Wu Niang and his sister to stop them so as not to fall.

Suddenly, Zhao Xing came in quickly at a trot all the way, with a person behind him, covered in blood, he stumbled and ran in after him.
