Chapter 1533 Tao Zhen
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again.
Seeing this, Tao Jinyan sighed heavily, "I understand what you mean, I'm still someone who has read books to some extent, and I'm not that stupid. I know that the magistrate is just pretending, not really in my heart. Common people. My youngest son also knows, don't the other village chiefs have eyes to see? But what can I do? They are officials. Besides, everyone says that the emperor is like that, regardless of the will of the world to increase taxes, and still hope What good birds can be down there, don't you think?"
And Tao Jinyan, the village chief, didn't want Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to answer. After he said this, he sighed again to himself: "Alas."
Finally, Xue Yan said, "I don't know where your youngest son is now. We also want to inquire with him."
Now the youngest son of the village chief will go to the county to do errands for the village from time to time, and this youngest son may still hear some other rumors.
Although some rumors are chasing wind and shadows, they are not necessarily true, but some are likely to be true, that is, the truth.
"He..." As soon as Tao Jinyan opened his mouth, he saw his 20-year-old son Tao Zhen came back, and he pointed to his youngest son who had just entered the yard and said, "Well, that's my youngest son Tao Zhen, who just came back from digging wild vegetables. , I have a few sons, but the others are married, so they are separated, and I am living with my youngest son now."
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked in the direction of Tao Jinyan's fingers, and saw a somewhat gentle young man in a gray robe walking into the yard. His face was not as yellow as others. Although this man was also very thin, It is rare in this village to have white and clean skin.
I saw this man carrying a basket in one hand, some wild vegetables and a small shovel in the basket, and a bundle of firewood on his shoulders. As soon as he entered the yard door, he put down the firewood, and hurriedly walked towards the stove. He didn't forget to shout, "Dad, I'm back, I'm going to cook for you!"
I was busy making lunch and didn't even notice the situation in the main room.
By this time, Zhang Dazhu and his son had already rushed out of the main room.
"Don't be in a hurry to cook, there are guests here, and I just wanted to ask you something." Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou stopped Tao Zhen just like that, and walked around Tao Zhen to the main room.
Tao Zhen noticed that there were guests in the main room.
Xue Yan cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Brother Tao, we're taking the liberty of coming here. We also invite Haihan."
This man also wears a long gown, and is obviously a scholar. He went to the county government office for his father, and he is obviously literate, which also confirms this.
"Where, where." Tao Zhen also folded his hands quickly, with a smile on his face. But in my heart, I was very surprised who these two well-dressed and well-mannered people were in front of me. And, what to ask him.
Tao Jinyan laughed loudly: "Look at me, it's almost noon! Otherwise, you two, you can stay here for lunch, let my little son cook first, and then you can inquire after dinner is the same, just Wild vegetables are enough to satisfy your hunger, I wonder if you can swallow them."
Xue Yan smiled and said, "Our family also came here to eat wild vegetables, and there is nothing that can't be swallowed. But we didn't eat lunch, and we were actually in a hurry to go back. We just asked some questions and left. You are hungry, why don't you let Brother Tao cook while my wife and I ask—"
Before Xue Yan could finish speaking, Tao Jinyan smiled and said, "I'm not hungry, I'm not in a hurry to eat, you can ask first."
