Ministers made me a male queen

Chapter 39

Tao Wuzuo felt even more ominous when he heard Jiao Yun's fancy praise to him, holding the bowl, he turned to one side again.

Wanniang was even more confused:? ? ?Brother Yun, what does this mean?

Jiao Yun continued to hit hard, pinched himself secretly, raised his head, his eyes were red: "Brother Tao, if I grow up to be as good as you when I grow up, it would be great."

Wanniang's heart was poked, she was squatting, and stepped forward to hug Jiao Yun: "Brother Yun, tell you, what do you want to do?"

Jiao Yun lowered his eyes, and lightly rested his forehead on Wanniang's shoulder: "Mother, I am... just..."

Wanniang turned her head to look at Tao Wuzuo.

Tao Wuzuo felt guilty, but with this girl like this, he had an inexplicable sense of mission: "I want to hear it too, Brother Yun, what did you mean when you said you wanted to learn from me?"

Don't be what he thinks?But, how old is Brother Ke Yun?

Jiao Yun: "I happened to be with Brother Tao twice before, and I saw Brother Tao pull out the murderer who was obviously hiding in the dark. The feeling was very similar to the hero who was a hero in the words my grandfather told me before. I also...want to be someone like Brother Tao."

Wanniang's heart is bitter, brother Yun misses his grandfather?

Also, life was hard in the past, she and the person in front of her stayed away from home and went to the fields during the day to make a living, and they were more fathers who brought Brother Yun with them from childhood to adulthood.

It's her mother who didn't do a good job...

Wanniang's voice was hoarse: "Brother Yun, this...is not something you can do." How can Brother Yun compare to Mr. Tao who is so powerful now that he is young?Besides, it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Tao to teach outsiders how to eat, let alone a child?

Tao Wuzuo was startled, Brother Yun really wanted to learn from him?

But, but...

Tao Wuzuo couldn't think about it for a while. His grandfather taught him all these skills. He learned them, but he still had to shelve them until his father chose him to return to Changyang County. In order to keep a low profile, he chose to be a teacher.

At the beginning, Jiao Yun used Tao Yuzuo to explain the matter to solve the predicament in front of him, but once he said it, he found that the execution was very high.

For one thing, he didn't want to enter the school, but Wanniang wanted him to, and Tao Yuzuo had a place, so he had to make a decision immediately;

Second, Tao Wuzuo works in the county government office, and often goes to Linxian County or the village with Master Hou to do business. He contacts many people and is of various religions. Even if he reveals some skills that he shouldn't have, he can use this as an excuse;

Three, he is indeed more interested in this profession, even more than making money.

What's more, once he can go outside of Changyang County, he will be able to sell more things in his space, and he will definitely earn more than he currently does.

Jiao Yun lowered his eyes and made a decision: "Mother, I want to learn skills from Brother Tao. I can read and write, and I am easy to learn. The academy is indeed good, but what I can teach is different from what I want to learn. Instead of killing time , it is better to study a field of knowledge and be a useful person in the future."

The last sentence is completely in An Wanniang's heart.

Jiao Yun did impress Wanniang, she hesitated.

After Qian Erlang's incident, she understands the consequences if she is not suitable, she will only go the wrong way.

But at his age, following Mr. Tao is absolutely impossible.

"Brother Yun, you..." Wanniang hesitated, looked at the determination in Jiao Yun's eyes when he raised his head, and gently patted his head, "Mother understands your thoughts, but for the time being, you are not old enough suitable."

Jiao Yun looked at Tao Yuzuo: "Why? Mother, I am literate, eager to learn, and understand some basic things. I am more willing to work hard. Isn't it easier to teach than illiterate apprentices?"

Tao Yuzuo's heart was shocked by Jiao Yun's sight, and he was in a daze.

He originally thought that Jiao Yun was just an excuse, an excuse for not wanting to go to school, but now he looked at this young child, the tenacity and brightness in his eyes were like a burning candle. A sea of ​​flames rose up, enough to start a prairie fire.

Holding the bowl in his hand, Tao Wuzuo calmed down and began to examine Jiao Yun seriously.

He could feel that he wasn't lying, and that he really liked this profession, but at the same time, he was still young, but he didn't understand what it meant.

Wanniang was indeed persuaded by Jiao Yun. She had selfish intentions and wanted her child to become a talent, but at the same time, she also had self-knowledge and never forced Brother Yun to go to high school.

After all, there are very few scholars, and it took her father a long time to pass the exam. From the beginning, her highest expectation for Brother Yun was to be a scholar, to be a wife without having to earn hard money.

But in the same way, Mr. Xiucai is so easy to test. If he can really learn a skill from Mr. Tao, he is also a great talent.

It was one thing for her to figure it out, but she also knew that it was difficult for her to do so.

Wanniang's original bright eyes dimmed, and then quickly retracted, unwilling to let Jiao Yun see: "Brother Yun, you are still young, you go to the academy first, if you really feel unwell, wait a few years and wait a few years before you are old enough to see it." Is it better to learn it when you are a little older?"

Jiao Yun couldn't tell that Wanniang agreed with his words, but felt that Tao Yuzuo would not accept him, so he retreated and wanted to dispel his thoughts.

But Jiao Yun used his trump card and looked at Tao Yuzuo: "Brother Tao, don't you believe me? You don't want to teach me? You said before that I was your lucky star. You think it will be very smooth to solve the case with me."

Tao Wuzuo's original serious expression almost broke, and the bowl he was holding almost fell out again: This, can this be the same!

Tao Yuzuo looked suspiciously at Shang Wanniang, and always felt that Mrs. Jiao's gaze seemed to be the idea that Yun Ge'er had because she said something she shouldn't have said at some point.

He coughed lowly: "Brother Yun, do you really want to learn from me?"

Jiao Yun agreed without hesitation.

Tao Wuzuo lowered his eyes and held the bowl without saying a word. He was thinking that it was impossible for him to be a lifelong Taoist. After all, the Tao family sent him here to save a way out for the Tao family.

When he came here as a co-worker, he naturally needed to keep a low profile at the beginning, but after three to five years or even ten years, he couldn't just be a co-worker, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pave the way.

In a few years, Master Hou will be transferred to leave Changyang County. It may be impossible for others, but he will take over the post of county magistrate.

He has a great reputation, except Master Hou, he has not said anything to the outside world. At that time, as long as he finds an opportunity to make meritorious service, he will be able to take office.

After he ceased to be a coordinator, he naturally needed a new right-hand man, and he also needed a trusted confidant. Speaking of which, instead of cultivating a nephew who didn't know much about Jiao Xiucheng, he really trusted him.

Wanniang originally had a little hope when she heard Mr. Tao's question, but after seeing Mr. Tao's silence, she was disappointed and unwilling to force others to make things difficult. Just when she was about to speak, Tao Yuzuo suddenly raised her eyes and bowed to her: "Mrs. Jiao , can it be convenient for me to talk with Brother Yun alone?"

Wanniang was startled, and quickly nodded: "Naturally, naturally."

Only then did Tao Yuzuo look at Jiao Yun, with a serious expression unlike before: "Brother Yun, you...follow me."

If he really had to make a decision, there were some things he had to clarify with the kid.

Jiao Yun followed Tao Yuzuo to the opposite teahouse, unlike when Mrs. Li came here before, Jiao Yun didn't know what to do for the first time.

It is true that Tao Wuzuo had a good relationship with him before, but from Tao Wuzuo's usual dedication, he also knows that he is also a business-like person.

He needs to make Tao Wuzuo believe him and accept him as a disciple.

But this degree has to be handled well.

Let Tao Yuzuo believe in his strength, but not too much, otherwise, it will only backfire.

Tao Wuzuo and Jiao Yun sat on the low couch in the wing room, Tao Wuzuo lowered his eyes to make tea, the fuming heat curled up, he had a little bit of regret, he was impulsive this time, brother Yun was not even ten years old.

However, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

He has been here for two or three years, and he has been doing his best, but he has never started to cultivate his confidants. Unexpectedly, the first person he operated on was actually a child.

If he had just come to Changyang County, he would not have believed it.

Tao Yuzuo put down the teapot, looked at Jiao Yun with a serious expression, and looked at the child who was pretending to be calm. He eased his expression again: "What are you afraid of? I'm not your elder brother Tao anymore?"

Jiao Yun pretended to breathe a sigh of relief: "Brother Tao, your expression was so scary just now, I thought you were angry."

Tao Zuozuo: "I'm not angry, I'm just...do you really want to be a gangster in the future?"

Jiao Yun nodded heavily: "Think!"

Tao Wuzuo: "Then you know, it's not easy to work in this industry. It's hard work, and you need to study a lot of books. Not only that, but once you make a mistake, you may be forever lost. Not only that, this industry is not as beautiful as it seems on the surface. , not even popular."

Jiao Yun naturally knew it, but his purpose was not just that, he pretended to be puzzled: "Brother Tao, you..."

Tao Yuzuo: "You see, those yamen servants are very respectful to me. In fact... it's because of Lord Hou's face. My father and Lord Hou were in the same batch of exams many years ago, and they are also colleagues. Naturally, they take good care of me. They know my family's status in Beijing, so they naturally respect me. But what they respect is not me, not my position as a coordinator, but the family behind me. But you are different. If you really become a courier, they Wouldn't treat you like this, you might endure this gap?"

Jiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Tao, I'm not afraid, I just think I like this profession very much. I want to be as good as Brother Tao, have a skill, and have a great ability like my mother. Brother Tao can solve the mystery of a cloud of fog. Untie it, help Master Hou to help those who died, it’s amazing. It’s just like my mother’s stewed pork. At the beginning, it was just a piece of meat, even with blood, and it didn’t have any taste, but after my mother made it After cooking, it becomes a mouth-watering delicacy. You are all amazing, and I want to be such a person."

Tao Wuzuo was boasted a little falsely: "It's just a coincidence that it's so powerful." Then he coughed, "Although you said so, you are indeed too young now, and I have to make you clear about some things. If you listen After finishing it, I still decided to learn from me, and then we will talk about the next step.”

Jiao Yun knew that the matter was half done, at least on Tao Wuzuo's side, there was no problem.

Jiao Yun's well-behaved appearance made Tao Yuzuo sigh: "Do you know who Wuzuo will be with all day long?"

Jiao Yun: "The people in the yamen, the common people, and those who died."

Tao Wuzuo raised his eyebrows: "It's mainly the dead people. In fact, to be more precise, they are corpses. It is not easy to just look at them, but also to touch them, and even to find clues. But what you see is not just the dead. , and even those who have been dead for a long time, or whose corpses have decomposed, or turned into bones, you must be clear about these."

Jiao Yun: "These are nothing. Who will never die? Once dead, it is just a body, just like corrupted food. The food is freshly made, and it looks delicious to you, but if it is corrupted, It stinks, but it's still food, it just looks rotten and stinks..."

Tao Wuzuo was dumbfounded: "Wait! Brother Yun, shut up first!" Why do you want to compare food, he will eat braised pork later, will he eat it or not? !

Jiao Yun's innocent face: "But this is what my grandfather told me. I was very afraid of ghosts when I was a child. Once someone disappeared in the village. I was very scared. My grandfather told me that. I am not afraid anymore. Tao Brother, you see, I was in the Yang Mansion before, so I wasn't afraid."

Tao Yuzuo: "..." Sure enough, he shouldn't treat Brother Yun as an ordinary child, after all, he is the heir of Jiao Lao, a scholar.

Jiao Xiucheng is like this, unexpectedly, now Jiao Yun is like this.

Tao Wuzuo coughed lowly: "Let's... get over this problem." Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to eat a bite later, obviously he usually didn't blink his eyes when facing those dead people, but he was shocked by a child's description. I'm scared.

Jiao Yun sat upright obediently.

Tao Wuzuo continued: "In addition to these, you still have to learn the things in the books, not only to learn, but also to learn more. You don't want to go to the academy, so would you be willing to read so many books?"

Jiao Yun: "It's not a contradiction. It's one thing to read books, but another thing to go to school."

Tao Wuzuo narrowed his eyes: "Don't you all want to read books?"

Jiao Yun: "Of course it's different. When I go to school, I'm under the master's command. Besides reading, I also need to learn to write those words, but I just read and make use of them but omit this link. What I hate is not reading, but forcing me to memorize , and even learn those literary things after mastering them.”

Tao Wuzuo was stunned for a long time, he actually understood the meaning of this child, he really... looks like him when he was a child.

At that time, he was learned from being beaten by his master with a ruler, but after getting used to it, he really settled down, and after a long time, he felt nothing.

But in fact, he really hated it at that time.

Tao Fu used to support the forehead. He originally wanted to let Brother Yun know the pros and cons, so he might have given up. Unexpectedly, he himself was persuaded. After such a comparison, it seems that it is indeed easier to learn to work as a workman: "But the monthly salary of a workman is very small. .”

Jiao Yun smiled: "My family's stewed meat is quite profitable." I also have a small treasury.

Of course, Wanniang can only be used as an excuse now.

Tao Wuzuo: "..." It seems really reasonable!Tao Wuzuo silently poured himself a cup of tea, and poured another cup, "Then... okay."

Jiao Yun's eyes lit up: "Then I have passed the test?"

Tao Wuzuo: "What do you want? Even if I agree here, there is a more difficult hurdle to pass, which is Master Hou. Do you think he will agree to a child of how old to be my apprentice?"

Jiao Yun jumped off the low couch, walked to the other side, grabbed Tao Yuzuo's sleeve with his small hands, "Brother Tao..."

Tao Yuzuo held the teacup and didn't look at him. Finally, he listened to Brother Tao, and finally gave in. "Okay, okay, I'll talk to Mr. Hou, but I can only guarantee that he will see you. Can you convince him then? You can do it yourself. If it doesn’t work, I don’t care about it, and you can wait a few years to grow up, and it should be fine.”

How could Jiao Yun wait for a few years?However, Master Hou had no choice but to bite the bullet and persuade.

Tao Wuzuo followed Jiao Yun back to the booth, only to find that the other big and small were looking at him with extra enthusiasm, and Wanniang even brought his bowl, the stewed meat on it was spiky, even about to overflow.

Tao Wu wrote: "..."

Wanniang stood aside a little at a loss, but she was extremely enthusiastic: "Mr. Tao, look at this...you eat first, and if you can't, then add more."

Nie Xiaobai on the side was holding tea, and obediently refilled a bowl: Aunt Wanniang said that if you learn from Mr. Tao, you will be a great talent, and you can be comparable to a scholar. Brother Yun wants to learn, so he can't hold him back.

Tao Wuzuo was instantly shortened by this enthusiastic offensive: Forget it, forget it, if Mr. Hou is in trouble tomorrow, he will at best say a few more good words.

After all... he was the one who took in apprentices.

Jiao Yun, who saw Tao Yuzuo's thoughts on the side, said: You didn't think so just now, and you said that seeing Mr. Hou is all up to me, you, don't, don't care.
