Old Tao learned that Tao Mo came back from Gu She, so he immediately came to inquire.
Tao Mo then recounted what happened today.
After Lao Tao heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not a bad ending."
Tao Mo stared wide-eyed, and said, "Isn't it bad for two lives? Master Tong and Mrs. Tong are sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person. It couldn't be more tragic."
Old Tao said with a dry smile, "Young master is right."
Tao Mo thought for a while and said, "However, Gu She's views are quite similar to yours."
Old Tao said: "Master, are you praising me?"
Tao Mo asked blankly, "Where?"
"Gu She is an apprentice of Master Yi Hammer, and he is well-known in Tanyang County. Is it just an excuse for me to share his views?"
"In my heart, Lao Tao is also very remarkable." Tao Mo said sincerely. Lao Tao did a lot of things quietly, even if he never said it, it doesn't mean he doesn't know, he knows the painstaking efforts behind these things.
Old Tao showed relief, "Whether these two cases are serious or not, even if the truth is revealed, the young master still needs to be cautious when judging the cases. Remember to take the Tong family's face into consideration."
"Face?" Tao Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let the news about Miss Tong and Cai Fengyuan spread." This was originally none of other people's business, so why let others gossip. He just went to Mr. Yichui's mansion, and rumors spread everywhere. If this matter really got out, wouldn't it disturb Miss Tong's peace in the ground
He pondered for a while. How about splitting the two cases? Anyway, outsiders don't know about the relationship between Cai Fengyuan and Miss Tong, and the Tong family will naturally keep this matter under wraps and will never spread it.
He looked at Lao Tao, and was about to express his thoughts, but then remembered the date with Gu She tomorrow, and immediately swallowed it back, saying vaguely: "I have to think about this matter."
Old Tao smiled and said, "It's natural. Young Master thinks about it slowly, I'll go to the kitchen first."
"Okay." After he left, Tao Mo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He and Gu She didn't have much to say, maybe this one can say a few more.
A night and a half was spent waiting.
After noon, Hao Guozi went back and forth between the gate and the study.
When it was time to apply, Tao Mo couldn't stand it any longer, and stood in the yard looking in the direction of the gate.
Seeing that he was just standing, Hao Guozi was afraid that he would be tired, and said, "I don't know when Mr. Gu will come. Young Master, why don't you just sit in the yard and make a pot of tea and wait slowly?"
"Wait slowly? I'm so impatient, how can I be slow?" Tao Mo scratched his head.
Seeing this, Hao Guozi shook his head, "Master, you can't do this. You will be eaten to death by Mr. Gu in the future, and you won't be able to turn over."
Tao Mo muttered, "He was smarter than me."
"Although you say that, you can't be so obvious." Seeing that he didn't listen, Hao Guozi persuaded him in another way, "If you follow Mr. Gu in everything, Mr. Gu will find the young master boring. "
"Boring? Will it?" Tao Mo really worried.
Seeing that he was moved, Hao Guozi nodded repeatedly and said, "Young Master Gu is hard to say."
"But last time I refuted him, he didn't look happy either."
Hao Guozi's eyes widened, "Young master refute him?"
Tao Mo was very annoyed, "I didn't do it on purpose."
"Haha..." Hao Guozi stroked his palms, "Good job, young master. Don't worry, Mr. Gu has always been happy and angry. Even if he is happy, it's hard to tell."
Tao Mo hesitated, "Is that happy?"
"Happy or happy." Hao Guozi said, "So the young master must not be polite to him."
Although Tao Mo felt that something was wrong, he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Hao Guozi turned around and jumped towards the door again, "I'll go see if he's here."
Tao Mo thought for a moment, then suddenly said to himself: "He didn't see Gu She's expression at that time, how could he know that he was happy?"
Shaoqing.
Hao Guozi walked in slowly.
Tao Mo asked disappointedly, "Isn't it here yet?"
"No, it's already here." Hao Guozi still acted very leisurely.
Tao Mo was stunned for a moment, and rushed out, but was stopped by Hao Guozi.
"What are you doing?" he asked in surprise.
Hao Guozi said: "The last time I went to see him on behalf of the young master, he put on airs for a long time. This time he came to the door, the young master should not be too eager."
"But, I'm really in a hurry." Tao Mo opened his fingers and ran away without a trace.
Hao Guozi sighed, turned around and chased after him slowly. At the door, I saw Gu She's carriage dragging its shadow, spinning its wheels and leaving.
"Master!" he called out.
Suddenly a head protruded from the shaft. Gu Xiaojia gave him a pig nose.
Hao Guozi stamped her feet angrily.
Tao Mo sat in the car, absently thinking about what Hao Guozi said earlier. Since he met Gu She, he seldom listened to Gu She's words. Could it be that he was so reticent because he thought he was too boring
"What are you thinking?" Gu She asked casually.
"You." Tao Mo replied honestly.
Gu She raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"
Tao Mo said: "Think, think about what I should say, so as not to be boring."
The corner of Gu She's mouth raised slightly, "When did I say you were boring?"
Tao Mo's eyes lit up.
Gu She continued calmly, "However, I never said you were interesting."
Tao Mo asked blankly, "Is that interesting or boring?"
"Perhaps," Gu She smiled, "somewhere in between."
Tao Mo seemed even more at a loss.
Gu She changed the subject and said, "How do you plan to end Cai Fengyuan's case?"
Tao Mo said: "Whether he died for love or not, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and he can't blame others."
Gu She said: "He deserved to die."
Tao Mo's heart wavered suddenly, not knowing whether he should retort "interestingly" or remain silent "boringly". He lifted the curtains and looked at the scenery outside the window. Seeing that the street was getting more and more familiar, he couldn't help but ask, "Shall we go to Tong's Mansion?"
Gu She said: "Not bad."
Tao Mo probed, "For Cai Fengyuan's case?"
"no."
"That's... Miss Tong's case?"
Gu She said: "You can say so."
Tao Mo was still asking, but was cut off by Gu She: "Are you thirsty?"
"A little bit." Tao Mo looked at him anxiously.
Gu She didn't make tea as he expected, "If that's the case, save some water."
Save some water
Tao Mo thought about this sentence all the way, and when the car arrived at the gate of Tong's mansion, he had an idea, realizing that Gu She's "save some water" was equivalent to "shut up", and couldn't help but blush.
Gu Xiaojia watched Tao Mo get off the car with a blushing face, and looked at Gu She suspiciously, "My lord, are you..."
Gu She looked back at him indifferently.
"...it's okay." Gu Xiaojia turned to knock on the door.
The concierge of Tong's mansion was no stranger to their occasional visits, so he hurried in to report and led them in.
Near the hall, you can see that there is a young woman sitting with Tong's couple.
Although the three of them sat opposite each other, there was silence.
Gu She took the lead to step over the threshold.
When the young woman saw him, her dignified expression eased slightly, she nodded and said, "Senior Brother Gu."
Master Tong woke up like a dream, stood up and said, "Young Master Gu, Master Tao."
The young woman looked at Tao Mo and asked in surprise, "Could it be that this is the new county magistrate?"
Tao Mo said, "Exactly."
The young woman said: "I am Yang Chuiliu. My father Yang Chuiyi."
Seeing that Tao Mo didn't respond, Gu She explained: "The daughter of the family teacher."
Tao Mo asked in surprise, "Besides Mr. Yichui, do you have other famous teachers?"
The young woman was taken aback for a moment, and there was a smile in her eyes, "My father's name is Yang, and his name is Chuiyi, and his name is Mr. Yichui."
Tao Mo was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it.
Gu She asked the young woman, "Why did you come here?"
The young woman looked at Mrs. Tong, "I'm about to ask my aunt about two things."
Madam Tong turned pale.
Master Tong waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about this later."
The young woman said: "It's rare that Senior Brother and Master Tao are present, some things are better explained clearly. What do you say? Aunt?"
Mrs. Tong was silent.
Master Tong lowered his face and said, "I will explain this myself later."
The young woman narrowed her eyes, "I have a rule in Tanyang County. If there is any dispute that cannot be clearly resolved, it can be handed over to a litigator. Otherwise, it will be handed over to the government according to the regulations of our court."
Hearing the word "Government", Tao Mo's spirit lifted slightly.
