Tao Xiude rode a horse and walked in front, and behind him followed several carriages, which contained things to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors, and also to pay respects to some elders.

"Sir, Pingxing County is in front of you. The master said that when we pass through Pingxing County, we will stop in Shashan Town for two days to meet the old friend of the master." He rode a horse, but his position was slightly located in Taobao. The servant behind Xiude said respectfully.

Tao Xiude nodded, "Just right, I'm tired, so let's go to the county seat and rest!"

"Yes!" The horse team quickened its pace and headed towards Pingxing County.

Pingxing County was not far from Shashan Town, but it was only half an hour away. Tao Xiude simply lived in the county, and after a rest, he took people straight to Shashan Town, ready to meet Master Liu.

Asking for directions along the way, he found the private school where Shashan Town is located. Tao Xiude ignored the gazes of passers-by, adjusted his luxurious clothes, and asked the servant behind him to take the gift box and walked in.

"Bang!" A group of students rushed out of the house like a flood that had released the gate, knocking Tao Xiude into a stagger, but fortunately they were supported by the servants behind him in time to avoid falling.

"What's wrong?" Tao Xiude couldn't help but ask after he stood firm.

"I don't know! It seems to be after school." The servant behind him glanced at him and said unsurely. After all, this battle was more like a beast chasing behind him.

The old master Liu was the last to come out of the house. He looked at the person standing at the door suspiciously. The leader was dressed in luxurious clothes and had an extraordinary temperament. He didn't look like someone in a small county like them. Master Liu stroked his beard. , Just as he was about to ask, he saw Tao Xiude salute him and said with a smile, "Dare to ask, but Liu Jiancheng, Master Liu?"

"Exactly, who are you?"

"The kid is Tao Xiude, the second son of the Tao family, and his father is the prefect of Han County. Today, he is ordered by his father to come to see him." Tao Xiude clasped his fists and saluted.

Master Liu suddenly realized, "You are Tao Lin's son!" The

friend did not dislike his poor family and no official position, and even asked his son to come to see him. Master Liu was very happy, and cheerfully greeted the group to his resting place, and even let them go. Called Liu Tai to come over.

When they got inside the house, the servant presented the gift box and put it aside, and the two of them said politely before entering the topic.

"My father once said that my uncle is his best friend, so this time, when I returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors, I made a special detour to meet my uncle." Tao Xiude did not dislike the simple environment of the house at all, and his attitude was still respectful and polite.

Master Liu was very happy, "How is your father's health all these years?"

"Thanks to my uncle's concern, my father is all well and in good health, but I only occasionally mention my uncle. I think of the days when I went to school with my uncle, and I miss it very much."

Master Liu stroked his beard and said, "Me too! We have been busy all these years, and we have never met each other. We only exchanged letters."

"Uncle, don't worry. After a while, Brother Liu Xian will take the exam. When Tong was born, he stayed at my house and met my father." As he was talking, Liu Tai had already come in with his food in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw a few strangers, almost throwing the bowl in his hand.

No one said there were outsiders in my father's house! He thought it was his father who asked him to bring him food. Today is the day to have snacks with Big Brother Du, so everyone can be active and rush to the place to eat. He finally managed to get the meal.

Master Liu glared at Liu Tai and asked him to come to see Tao Xiude. Liu Tai lowered his head in silence, put the tableware and chopsticks on the table, and then dressed up and bowed to Tao Xiude. Brother Tao."

"Just call me second brother Tao. I also have an older brother, that is, you brother Tao. He is an official in Beijing and is busy with business, so he can't come here, otherwise you will be able to see him." Tao Xiude smiled. on the road.

Liu Tai thought for a while, and finally remembered the person surnamed Tao. His father said that he used to have a good friend and is now in the provincial capital. Could this person be his son?

Master Liu was worried that Liu Tai knew Tao Lin's identity and would affect him, so he never told Tao Lin's identity, only that Tao Lin lived in the provincial capital. It turned out that the Tao family was not a simple family, and Master Liu was worried again for a while.

To do scholarship, you still have to live in peace and happiness. Liu Tai is young and his mind is not yet firm, so he should not be tempted by these.

Liu Tai didn't know Master Liu's worries at all, and said, "Second brother Tao, have you eaten yet?"

"Uh..." Tao Xiude was stunned, "Not yet, after finding an inn in the county town, I came here directly. "

Then, if you don't dislike it, why don't we have a meal together!"

"This, you still have to go to class, we'll be fine, we can just go out to eat by ourselves." Tao Xiude waved his hand.

"How about that?! It's a guest from afar. Besides, there won't be any delays. Just eat with us!" Liu Tai laughed.

"Ah?" Tao Xiude didn't want to disturb too much. When he came, he saw that there was a restaurant outside. The big deal was to go there for a meal later. He thought that Liu Tai just meant the same thing, but as a result, What does it mean to eat with them? Tao Xiude's eyes fell on the large porcelain bowl on Master Liu's table, and he had a bad premonition.

When I came here, my father said that Master Liu had an upright and arrogant temperament, but he didn't expect his son to be such an upright person. He said that eating is really just a meal! Tao Xiude couldn't refuse, so he could only follow Liu Tai to the place where the meal was shared.

Luo Qing stroked his sleeves and was serving meals for the students, and said, "Leave the fried chicken first, don't touch it, Boss Du said, you must have eaten before you can eat it!"

Liu Tai heard the words and looked with bright eyes Tao Xiude, "Second brother Tao, sit for a while, I'll go get you some food!" After speaking, he squeezed into the crowd with high fighting spirit.

Tao Xiude tried his best to maintain a smiling expression. He looked around for a week, but he couldn't find any place to sit. The places where there were stools were all taken, and there was no space at all, so he thought about standing for a while longer. The students stared at him.

Tao Xiude smiled and nodded to the two of them, maintaining his demeanor.

One of the older students stood up and bowed his hands to Tao Xiude, "May I ask who is your Excellency?"

"Oh, Master Liu is my father's classmate. He was in Tao Xiude, returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors. He passed by here. To meet Uncle Liu."

"That's it! You are here, You Qiu." You Qiu laughed, not appearing to be flattering and complacent because Tao Xiude was dressed very well, but got up and said, "Young Master Tao, please take a seat, Liu Tai will soon be there. I'm back."

"Thank you." Tao Xiude cupped his hands, and the servant behind him immediately stepped forward to wipe the stool before Tao Xiude sat down.

Du Rulin and Qiu You then sat aside and waited for Liu Tai to come back. Liu Tai finally squeezed into the crowd until Luo Qing was in front of him, raised his finger and pointed to Tao Xiude's place, "I have guests at my house, first give us a bowl of fried chicken!"

Luo Qing glanced at it, and there was indeed a very well-dressed one. The good son, nodded, and said, "Okay." Everyone else can only come to get fried chicken after eating, but Liu Tai is different. He just took a big bowl and attracted a lot of people. People are dissatisfied, but there is no way.

Liu Tai brought the food over, set it up, two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, plus a bowl of fried chicken, it looked good, Tao Xiude secretly relieved, after being polite with Liu Tai and the three , picked up the chopsticks and took a sip.

Actually...the taste is not bad! It's no different from the restaurant...

Tao Xiude was completely relieved. Although he used a thick porcelain bowl, the food was good and looked clean. Tao Xiude thought it was okay. It's just that he has never seen such a thing about delivering meals to a private school, so he asked a few questions out of curiosity, Liu Tai immediately pointed at Du Rulin and said, "It's from his family, Rulin's brother runs a restaurant, and his craftsmanship is very good. Now , there is still sugar water and snacks on weekdays, but today it's fried chicken nuggets, and the taste is not bad. My classmates like to eat it."

"That's it!" Tao Xiude smiled, but he didn't delve into it. Ask Liu Tai about his studies.

Liu Tai lowered his head and poked the rice in the bowl, and said a little disappointedly: "I didn't do well in the exam last time, Ru Lin took the first place, and I was the second."

Tao Xiude mentioned Du Rulin twice . Pay attention to the student who looked young, even a little shy, and said: "It looks like this little brother is doing well in his studies! Do you want to go to the Tongsheng exam this time?"

"No!" Du Rulin waved his hands again and again. , "It's not that good, it's all Liu Tai's modesty, we're almost the same, it's just to see who has better luck, this Tongsheng test, I, Qiu You, and Liu Tai, Qiu Jin are all going, Master Said, we are already confident that we can end."

"Well." Tao Xiude nodded, he originally only wanted to invite Liu Tai to be a guest at his house during the exam. It was difficult for them to be separated, so he said, "Liu Xiandi will be visiting my house at that time, how many of you might as well be together?"

"Isn't that appropriate?" Qiu You tugged Du Rulin's clothes under the table. This kind of people can't stand high at first glance, and when they go, it feels like they are hard-posted, and he doesn't want that.

Du Rulin hurriedly said: "It's not suitable, when Liu Tai goes to Mr. Tao's house, it's better for us to stay in the inn."

Hearing this, Tao Xiude smiled brightly, "Why are you being so polite! There are still a lot of rooms in my house. Besides, if you don't go, Brother Liu Xian is probably not willing to come!"

Liu Tai glanced at Tao Xiude blankly. Asked: "Did my father agree to my going?" This is not like his father's character!

"Uh..." Tao Xiude was embarrassed, as if Uncle Liu did not say yes.

Liu Tai lowered his head and said apologetically, "If my father doesn't agree, I may not be able to go there. I'm sorry, but I will definitely come and see you."

"But my father told me to invite you when the time comes. Stay, if you don't live in my house, I can't explain it to my father!" Tao Xiude smiled bitterly.

Liu Tai hesitated again. After all, the existence of his father was sometimes quite scary. He didn't want to involve Tao Xiude and be punished for copying books.
