Chapter 93
On Tao Qian's birthday the next day, before dawn, Tao Yao returned to Tao's house with the sword that Lu Jiuyuan had given him.

Tao Qian got up, and just after washing up, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." He thought it was a personal servant, so he said casually.

The door of the room was quickly pushed open, but it was not the servant but Tao Yao who came in.

Seeing his daughter, Tao Qian was stunned for a moment, and then said joyfully, "Yaoyao? Why are you back?"

"Today is Dad's birthday, of course I have to come back." Tao Yao said with a smile, and put the noodles in her hand on the table in front of him.

"Father, this is the longevity noodles I made for you. I wish you a happy birthday and good health."

When Tao Qian heard this, he looked at his daughter, and then at the longevity noodles on the table. He had mixed feelings, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.

"This, did you make this yourself?"

"That's right." Tao Yao nodded, "I have nothing else I can do for Daddy, I just want Daddy to eat a bowl of longevity noodles I made on his birthday."

Tao Qian was so moved that he couldn't speak. The reason why his daughter came back so early was to make longevity noodles for him.

"Yaoyao..."

Looking at her father's reddened eyes, Tao Yao reminded: "Dad, eat first, or the noodles will be lumpy."

Tao Qian calmed down and nodded, "Okay, I'll eat right away."

Tao Yao sat down opposite him and watched him eat.

Tao Qian originally thought the taste was mediocre, after all, his daughter is not good at cooking.

Unexpectedly, the taste of the noodles turned out to be very good, not inferior to the chef's craftsmanship.

Now, he was going to look at his daughter with admiration.

In the end, he ate so much that there was no noodle soup left.

"Yaoyao, this noodle is really delicious. You have spent a lot of time and energy learning how to make this noodle." Tao Qian put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said very touched.

From his point of view, his daughter never touched the spring water with her ten fingers, and she had never even been in the kitchen, but now, she was able to make such delicious noodles. Obviously, a lot of thought has been spent during this period of time.

And the daughter did all this for him!

Hearing this, Tao Yao blinked, "Actually... I didn't think much about it."

This is the truth, because she already knows how to cook, and she didn't learn it specially for him.

She just got up early today.

But Tao Qian felt that she was comforting him, and he was both emotional and relieved.

I didn't expect my daughter to become so sensible and caring.

"By the way, father, this is a gift from the Duke, please take it away and have a look." Tao Yao remembered something and asked Xi'er to bring in the gift.

Looking at the long box on the table, Tao Qian was surprised, "Jiuyuan gave it to me?"

"That's right." Tao Yao nodded, "Before that, he kept it in his private treasury. This time, because of your birthday, he specially took it out and asked me to bring it to you."

Tao Qian heard the words, opened the box, and took out the sword.

He looked at it for a moment, then widened his eyes suddenly, and said in surprise: "Isn't this the Sunflower Sword that has been lost for many years?"

"Sunflower Sword?" Tao Yao was taken aback, "You know?"

Tao Qian nodded, and said excitedly: "I saw it in an ancient book, and thought that the King Sunflower Sword had long since disappeared. Unexpectedly, it was in Jiu Yuan's hands."

"Is it really a sword? But it looks so ordinary..." Tao Yao was surprised to see him so excited.

She guessed that it was a treasured sword, but she didn't expect that the sword had a history and even a name.

"The more ordinary something is, the more extraordinary it is inside." Tao Qian said, impatiently holding his sword, he went to the yard to play.

Tao Yao followed out.

This was the first time she saw Tao Qian dancing sword.

The ordinary-looking Sunflower Sword instantly became radiant and dazzling in his hands.

Tao Qian held the Sunflower Sword and practiced for an hour before he finally stopped and praised repeatedly: "This Sunflower Sword really lives up to its reputation!"

Seeing this, Tao Yao thought to herself: Lu Jiuyuan really has a unique vision, and knows that Dad will like this sword.

But if the Sunflower Sword is so good, why is Lu Jiuyuan so willing to give it away?

Not long after, Tao Ling and the others came over.

They also prepared congratulatory gifts for Tao Qian.

Tao Ling sent a robe made by herself, and Tao Shu gave a pair of shoes made by herself.

And Tao Lian sent a purse.

"Third Uncle, I'm not good at being a female celebrity. This purse is not as good as my Second Sister and Third Sister's. You mustn't dislike it." Tao Lian said cautiously.

Tao Qian laughed and said, "Why would you dislike it? It's too late for me to like it."

After finishing speaking, he immediately put on the robes, shoes and purses given by the three of them.

"Daddy is so pretty!" Tao Yao praised, "Second sister and third sister's workmanship is better. My dad is refreshed and younger when he wears it."

"Fourth sister, and the purse I gave you, why did you ignore me?" Tao Lian said unconvinced.

Tao Yao said with a smile: "Yes, yes, there is also a pouch made by Lian Lian. But to be honest, the gifts you give are more thoughtful than those given by my daughter."

Compared with what they made with their own hands, she felt that she just made a bowl of longevity noodles for Tao Qian, which was really insincere.

"Don't say that, it doesn't matter what you give, what matters is that you have a heart. Your filial piety to third uncle is more important than any other gift." Tao Ling said.

Tao Qian nodded, "Lingling is right, Yaoyao is very filial to me, not only has she learned how to make noodles for me, but she also made longevity noodles for me before dawn.

Today's breakfast is the best breakfast I have had in years. "

Tao Yao felt very guilty.

She knew how to make noodles, but she didn't learn it specially for him.

Making a bowl of noodles is really just a matter of lifting your hands.

But she couldn't say it directly, so she could only accept this praise.

Not long after, Tao Jingyan came back.

What he gave Tao Qian was a military book.

Tao Qian also liked it very much, and put the Art of War and King Kui Sword together.

At this moment, a servant came to report, "Nie Dong's family is here."

Tao Yao was taken aback.

The expressions of Tao Ling and the others became subtle, and they even secretly glanced at Tao Qian.

Tao Qian frowned, but still said: "The visitor is a guest, please drink tea in the front hall."

Seeing his perplexed look, Tao Jingyan said thoughtfully, "Nephew, let's go with Third Uncle to see Dong Nie's house."

Tao Yao heard the words and quickly said, "I'll go too."

Tao Qian heard her, glanced at her, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded and said: "Let's go."

Tao Qian and Tao Jingyan took a few steps first, while Tao Yao and Tao Ling were a few steps behind.

"This Boss Nie's family is really persistent." Tao Shu muttered in a low voice.

Tao Yao knew Dong Nie's family.

Dong Nie's family was born in a family of merchants. Many years ago, on the way of doing business, they encountered robbers. Fortunately, Tao Qian passed by and rescued her.

After that, she would visit Tao Qian every year.

I don't know if it was delayed by business, or because of Tao Qian, she is still unmarried.

"Actually, Nie Dong's family is not bad." When Tao Ling said this, she glanced at Tao Yao.

Tao Yao understood what she meant, because the original owner didn't like Nie Dong's family, and she repelled and resented her coming to Tao Qian.

Thinking of this, she sighed in her heart.
