The wedding date of Liang Wenwu and Qiu Wan'e was finally set on the third day.
Master Liang also specially sent a wedding invitation to the county government.
Thinking of Master Tong, Tao Mo felt a little awkward, and wanted to find an excuse to refuse to go, but Hao Guozi was very interested in it. Liang's family was in a neighboring county, so he had long wanted to find a chance to go for a walk. Tao Mo couldn't bear to be disappointed, so he had to agree. And the matter of preparing the congratulatory gift naturally falls to Mu Chun, who is temporarily acting as Lao Tao's post. For the sake of face, Hao Guozi organized Mu Chun and bought them a decent suit.
On that day, when it was daylight, he brought breakfast early to wake Tao Mo up.
Since it took nearly three hours to travel from Tanyang County to neighboring counties, the sedan chair set off last night and arrived around Chenshi.
Tao Mo didn't know the way, so he happened to follow them from a distance.
After serving Tao Mo, Hao Guozi was about to call Mu Chun, but saw that he was already fully dressed and went out.
"you… "
Seeing him looking him up and down, Mu Chun wondered, "What's wrong?"
Hao Guozi sighed: "Fortunately, the bride is covered with a red hijab, so she can't see her. Otherwise, she might run away with you when she sees your face." He is also dressed in a blue robe, how could he be able to wear a fairy-like look? Chic, no matter how I dress, I look like a book boy.
Mu Chun smiled and said, "I'm too worried."
Hao Guozi saw that he was gentle and gentle, and that he was an old friend with Lao Tao, so he knew him well. Compared with the arrogant and indifferent Gu She, he was naturally much easier to get close to and trust him, so a thought popped into his mind. If the young master is with him, I'm afraid everyone will be relieved a lot.
"My boss is waiting." Mu Chun walked in front of him.
Hao Guozi was startled, and ran after her and asked, "Mu Chun, are you married yet?"
With just one glance, Mu Chun knew what was on his mind, and said calmly, "No."
"Is there anything good about that?"
"nor."
Hao Guozi said happily, "Then..."
"Then it's better to get in the car." Mu Chun glanced back at him with a half-smile.
Hao Guozi suddenly had a feeling that his whole body was seen through and there was nothing to hide. His enthusiasm was like being poured by cold water, and he couldn't arouse his interest anymore.
They got into the carriage and waited in front of the Qiu Mansion.
The bridal sedan has already stopped in front of the door, and the sound of gongs and drums can be heard endlessly, which is really lively.
Although Liang Wenwu was not good at conduct, he still came to marry him in person. He was all red, and his slightly cold face revealed a rare joy.
Tao Mo sat in the car, suddenly feeling an indescribable loneliness in his heart. I'm afraid that throughout his life, there will be no chance for the festive gongs and drums to sing for him.
Sitting opposite him, Mu Chun saw his depressed expression, and said with a smile: "Before Lao Tao left, he asked me one thing."
Tao Mo was taken aback, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Pay attention to Young Madam for him." Mu Chun smiled and watched Tao Mo's face change.
"He clearly knows that I... I, I just want to be a good official."
Mu Chun said: "A good official needs a good wife."
Tao Mo hesitated and said, "Hao Guozi is fine too."
Mu Chun laughed and said, "How is this the same? Could it be that you want Hao Guozi to deal with the wives of those colleagues in the future?"
Tao Mo thought it was wrong. Gu She's figure suddenly flashed in his mind. If it's Gu She... that's even more impossible. He quickly dismissed the idea.
Mu Chundao: "That Second Miss Qiu is courageous and resourceful, if she didn't have someone else in her heart, it would be a good relationship."
Tao Mo was terrified when he heard that, "Well, today is her big day..."
"I'm just talking." Mu Chun smiled and put the topic aside.
Tao Mo's heart was overwhelmed, and he didn't know whether Mu Chun's words were inspired by Lao Tao.
The two sat silently in the carriage. After a while, the carriage started to move slowly.
Tao Mo felt drowsy from being shaken, so he simply found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
The sedan chair was carried by people, so it was naturally not as good as a carriage, and with the rest time on the way, it moved extremely slowly.
Hao Guozi had no choice but to drive a certain distance, stop for a while, drive another distance, and stop for a while.
Tao Mo woke up and ate something to fill his stomach, then continued to sleep.
By the time we arrived in neighboring counties, the sun was already westward.
Xi Po had to urge to leave quickly, so as not to miss the auspicious time. In fact, without her urging, the welcoming team subconsciously quickened their pace.
Tao Mo was awakened by the louder and louder beating of gongs and drums. He was rubbing his eyes and sitting up when he saw Hao Guozi sticking his head in from the outside, and said joyfully, "Master, we're here."
Tao Mo stretched quickly and got out of the car.
After the bumps along the way, he felt that his bones were about to break apart. Thinking back to the time when he took the post, he sat in the carriage for a longer time, and he didn't seem to be as tired as this time. Didn't someone raise him delicately these days in Tanyang County
Tao Mo silently reviewed himself.
Mu Chun then got out of the car. His movements were smooth and flowing, and he was chic and suave, and he immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.
The eyes of the Liang family who were welcoming the guests at the door lit up, and hurried over to salute: "Master Tao has been exhausted all the way, and he has worked hard."
Tao Mo recognized that he was the young man who asked himself to be the master in front of Tong's mansion, and quickly returned the gift with a smile.
The young man of the Liang family led him into the house.
Looking at the size of Liang's house, Mr. Liang said that it is true that Second Miss Qiu will have no worries about food and drink in the future. Tao Mo comforted himself. He was led all the way to the main table, while Mu Chun and Hao Guozi made other arrangements.
The strangers at the table all greeted him. Tao Mo was a little embarrassed, but he responded one by one.
Among them was a middle-aged man about forty years old who looked at him from time to time, as if he wanted to strike up a conversation, but he seemed to be guessing something and held back without saying anything. Finally, a person beside him couldn't hold back and said: "That is the county magistrate of Tanyang County, and this is the magistrate of this county. He happens to be the official of the bride and groom's parents, and he can also be regarded as in-laws!" .
The whole table had to apologize.
The middle-aged man started to talk when he had Huatou. "I heard that Mr. Tao is a donated official."
Tao Mo smiled and said yes.
"It's good to donate an official. Donating an official is much better than us poor scholars who study hard." He seemed to sigh, "Hanging a beam to stab a butt, chiseling a wall to steal light, how can it compare to gold and silver mountains, and enjoy the rewards?"
Tao Mo said: "You speak too deeply, I don't quite understand it."
The middle-aged man thought he was being sarcastic, so he laughed twice and said, "What does it matter if you understand or not? As long as the court understands, the magistrate understands... that's fine."
Tao Mo naturally knew that he was mocking him, but he didn't care about it, he still smiled and said: "We eat the imperial salary, so naturally we have to share the worries and labors of the imperial court."
The middle-aged man saw that he brushed away all his words in two or three times, and said with a smile on his face: "Master Tao really has great ambitions, I can't match it."
The person who recommended them earlier suddenly fidgeted, and smoothed things over: "Both of you are pillars of the imperial court. Today, Yu Liang, how can we distinguish between high and low?"
This made the middle-aged man look cold. He already looked down on those who rely on the family's favor and buy officials with money, but now he sees them being compared, he feels humiliated.
The man thumped in his heart, and secretly scolded himself for being troublesome, but he didn't dare to say any more.
Compared with other tables, the atmosphere of this table is a bit stiff.
Tao Mo looked left and right, Mu Chun and Hao Guozi also divided into two tables, and Mu Chun's table was further inward, obviously more valued. His table is full of gentle people... His gaze suddenly paused, and his eyes widened immediately.
Although it was just a back view, he had seen this back view hundreds of times and dreamed about it thousands of times, so it was definitely not wrong.
That person is clearly...
As if sensing his gaze, the man suddenly turned around.
The delicate and delicate face is like mushrooms after a spring rain, charming and charming. Her eyes are shining like autumn waves, her lips are as red as cherries... always inadvertently seductive, hard to extricate herself from.
"The rain..."
Tao Mo spit out these two words unconsciously, and then thought about it, and found it strange.
Qi Yu also saw him, she was slightly startled, she turned her head quickly, after a while, she couldn't help looking. Seeing that he was still looking at him, his face turned slightly pale, he hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
Seeing Yi Yu here and now, Tao Mo realizes that he has no heartache and resentment as he once thought, but only melancholy and sighs that things are different.
