It was dark.
Gu She pushed the door open and entered the room, then frowned, and a snoring sound darker than the night came from the room.
The whole room was filled with a smell of alcohol that was incompatible with Lan Xiang.
He paused on the threshold, turned around and lit the lamp.
The room brightened up, but the snoring sounded even more earth-shattering.
He carried the lamp and went to the bed.
The adult on the bed turned his back to him, hugged the quilt and was thinking about sleeping, with one foot resting on the head of the bed and the other sticking out from the edge of the bed.
Gu She felt that the back was familiar, and stretched out his hand to turn him over.
"Heh!" Tao Mo made a choked sound.
Gu She was startled, thinking that he was out of breath, and immediately reached out to help him pat his chest.
Tao Mo exhaled a long breath immediately, then croaked his mouth twice, turned his head to one side, and fell asleep again.
"..."
Gu She stood in front of the bed and watched him silently for a while, until the grunt sounded again, then put the lamp aside, turned and went out.
Gu Xiaojia was eating peeled edamame before being called to the yard. Because she was running in a hurry, she was holding one in her hand, and she didn't realize it until she was in front of Gu She. Seeing Gu She staring at Maodou in his hand, he smiled dryly and pulled his hands behind his back. "My lord, do you want to take a bath?"
Gu She didn't speak, and pointed towards the room.
Gu Xiaojia was taken aback, and took two steps towards the house. Before he could reach the stone steps, he heard a loud snoring. He was taken aback, rushed in quickly, and then shouted: "Ah! Who are you? Ah, you, why are you here?"
Gu She frowned, followed in, and saw Gu Xiaojia shaking Tao Mo.
Tao Mo was so drunk that he waved his hands desperately, trying to break free from his grip.
"Stop." Gu She said.
Gu Xiaojia stopped suddenly, turned his head and said, "So it wasn't my dazzle this afternoon. I saw that Mr. Mu from the county government jumped off the roof, holding someone in his arms... Could it be that he sent it over?"
Gu She frowned and said, "Mu Chun?"
"It's him!" Gu Xiaojia stuffed Maodou into his mouth, "I didn't expect him to be a master. But why did he put Tao Mo on the son's bed?"
Gu She didn't speak. He knew that Mu Chun was not simple, but he couldn't figure out what his purpose was.
Gu Xiaojia spat out the edamame skin, only then realized what he had done unknowingly, hurriedly hid his hands behind his back, and forced himself to be calm: "Young master, what should we do now? Should we send him to the inn, or send someone to inform him?" County government?"
Gu She thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Clean up the outside room."
"... huh?" Gu Xiaojia stared blankly at him.
Gu She said: "Change to a new bedding."
"Oh." Gu Xiaojia took two steps out slowly, and couldn't help but turn around and said, "My lord, don't you want to keep him here?"
Gu She said: "Yes."
Gu Xiaojia was dispatched to the kitchen by Gu She. He was a little less courageous than before, but the skinny camel was bigger than a horse, and it was still quite fat. He asked again, "Isn't your son afraid of immortals jumping?"
Gu She raised her eyebrows, "Jump him or me?"
Gu Xiaojia was taken aback by the question, then scratched his head and said, "I forgot, he is also a man." Although he was unwilling, he vacated the outer room that had never been used by anyone according to Gu She's order, and then called out Two servants carried him over.
Tao Mo woke up halfway due to too much movement, opened his eyes and stared at Gu Xiaojia who was directing beside him for a while.
Gu Xiaojia looked at him, and was about to lose his temper, but he tilted his head and fell asleep again, holding back the anger in his stomach in a daze. He hated Tao Mo, who was sleeping comfortably, and said to his servant: "Everyone, hit me harder."
The servant thought he was talking ironically, so he immediately got up lightly.
Gu Xiaojia: "..."
After finally tossing and tossing, Gu Xiaojia asked Gu She worriedly: "My lord, why don't I make a bed on the floor and watch the night here?"
Gu She said: "No need."
"But..." Gu Xiaojia looked outside unwillingly.
"I have my own measure." Gu She was a little impatient.
Gu Xiaojia didn't dare to say any more, and silently retreated to the door, but didn't leave immediately, as if he wanted to wait for Gu She to change his mind, but after waiting and waiting, he couldn't open his mouth, so he gave up and covered the door and went out.
The door was closed again, Gu She was sitting by the bed, listening to Tao Mo sleeping soundly on the other side, suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he was not alone in this dark night. Since he was three years old, he has been sleeping alone in a room. Although there are maids serving outside, they never dare to make a loud noise, and even breathe carefully. Therefore, after nightfall, he often has a space between heaven and earth, alone. One's illusion. Tao Mo's snoring was noisy, but it reminded him all the time that there was another person at the other end of the room.
"Heh!" Tao Mo choked again, followed by the sound of turning over.
Gu She listened for a while, the corners of her mouth raised silently.
The next day when the sky was slightly bright, Tao Mo suddenly felt dry mouth, half-closed his eyes and got up to pour water, but after walking a few steps, his knee hit the stool, and he threw himself forward and lay down on the table.
After a long while, he came back to his senses, stood up with his hands on his chest, opened his eyes wide and looked around, then froze, "This is... where?"
"Gu Mansion."
Gu She's voice came from the inner room, almost startling Tao Mo to jump on the table.
"Gu, Gu She?" He asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"This is my bedroom."
"...then why am I here?"
"I don't know." Gu She didn't intend to expose the fact that Mu Chun is a master.
Tao Mo realized that he asked a stupid question, but even if he scratched his head, he still couldn't figure out how he would appear here, "I went to the neighboring county yesterday to have a wedding with Liang Wenwu and Miss Qiu..." He remembered that the case was Gu She lost for the first time, she definitely didn't like to hear it, so she quickly shut up.
"Later?" Hearing that he was slow to say anything, Gu She actually took the initiative to ask.
Tao Mo heard that there was no displeasure in his tone, so he said: "After I saw..., I drank more wine, and then I don't remember it."
"What did you see?" Gu She didn't miss the hesitation in his words.
Tao Mo subconsciously didn't want to mention Mr. Yi Yu in front of Gu She, and said vaguely, "An old friend."
There was no sound from Gu She.
After such a fuss, Tao Mo felt that his mouth was not so dry, and turned to look for his clothes.
His clothes were all stained with the smell of alcohol, Gu Xiaojia took them out last night to find someone to wash them, so Tao Mo searched around, only found a piece of tablecloth. Although there was a stove in the room, it was a bit cold after all. He hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't resist the pursuit of warmth, and got into bed again. "Gu She, are you asleep?"
Gu She tapped the edge of the bed with her fingers.
Tao Mo plucked up his courage and said, "May I ask you something?"
"Say."
"Where are my clothes?" Tao Mo's voice suddenly weakened, as light as a mosquito.
Gu She didn't seem to hear clearly, "What?"
"My clothes." He raised his voice slightly.
Gu She said: "I don't know."
"..." Tao Mo was stunned for a moment, then covered his mouth and said, "I, did I appear in Gu's mansion in this outfit last night?"
Gu She was silent.
Tao Mo mistook his silence for acquiescence, and his face was so red that it could bleed. "I, this, how come..." He was incoherent for a long time, and then asked in a smaller voice: "Can you lend me a suit?"
"what?"
"You, can you lend me a set of clothes?" Tao Mo pricked up his ears, listening nervously to the movement on the other side.
Gu She answered simply, "No."
Tao Mo was thinking about whether he could send someone to send a letter to the county government office, and then he heard Gu She continue: "I never lend my clothes to others." He suddenly remembered that the material of Gu She's clothes was extremely expensive at first glance, and he felt even more ashamed .
Gu She continued calmly, "It's okay to send you off."
Tao Mo was overjoyed, "Thank you. Ah, well, you don't need a new one, the old one is fine. It doesn't matter if it's dirty, or you can use the one you wore yesterday..."
There was silence across the room.
In the end, Gu Xiaojia got up early in the morning out of worry, and randomly found one of the old clothes that Gu She didn't wear, and gave it to him.
Tao Mo was relieved to learn from Gu Xiaojia that he was wearing a coat when he came to Gu's mansion, and gasped again when he heard that he appeared on Gu She's bed.
