"Master Jin, you just follow." Scholars are usually good people, so they can't help booing.
Master Jin's face was pale, and there were so many words in his head, but he couldn't refute a single word.
Tao Mo was still eagerly waiting for his reply.
Old Tao had no choice but to say: "Master, even though you are thirsty for talents, this sentence is not appropriate."
It's not just something wrong, it's really wrong. Master Jin only hated that he couldn't stand beside Lao Tao and give him advice.
Tao Mo said depressedly, "Is it not used well?"
"It's not bad." Under the public view, Lao Tao couldn't point it out, he just said, "It's just that he used too much force."
Tao Mo said: "Do you want to say that the weak water is three thousand, and I would like to take two gourds to drink it. Master Jin, would you like to be the first gourd?"
ladle? Or prostitute
Master Jin's face was no longer pale, but blue.
The other scholars laughed sullenly.
"Okay." Master Jin's complexion changed a few times, and he suddenly smiled and said, "The master of Mengde County pays special attention to Jin, and Jin is flattered. Jin is not a person who pretends to take Joe, so I agree, I hope Do the work of a dog and a horse for the master."
The change in attitude between the former county lord and the latter owner showed that he really agreed. But Lao Tao was always a little uneasy, he could see that Master Jin agreed to win a piece of cake, and he didn't really want to work for Tao Mo. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and it is futile to explain it again, so we can only take one step at a time.
Seeing Master Jin agreeing, Tao Mo heaved a sigh of relief, turned around immediately, and walked towards the pavilion.
Lao Tao frowned inadvertently, and followed behind step by step.
Unfortunately, when Tao Mo arrived, everyone in the pavilion had dispersed.
Tao Mo asked the bystanders unwillingly, "The pavilion was full of people just now, why didn't they disappear?"
The man said: "Gu She is going to leave, so naturally they will follow."
Tao Mo was annoyed. It stands to reason that with so many people leaving, there is absolutely no reason why I don't know. It must be that there were too many people talking and laughing just now, so they didn't pay attention.
Seeing Tao Mo's dejected expression, Old Tao coughed lightly and said, "It's rare for local literati to gather together. Young master should make more friends, so as to lay a solid foundation here."
Tao Mo Province. That's right, the future is long, so why should he be in a hurry.
Thinking about it, he obediently walked towards the place where the crowd gathered.
Others were also very curious about the new county master. Seeing him take the initiative to chat, everyone is welcome.
After a while, Lao Tao noticed that Master Jin got up to say goodbye, and immediately took Tao Mo to see him off all the way, even to the door of his house in the same sedan chair.
Regarding Tao Mo's hospitality, Master Jin was noncommittal, only saying that he would definitely be in office after the next year.
Seeing this, Lao Tao could only helplessly.
Back at the county government office, Tao Mo hesitated and refused to get off the sedan chair, "How about, let's continue to visit Mr. Yichui."
"Gu She has another residence, even if he goes to see Mr. Yichui, he won't be able to meet him." Old Tao said.
Tao Mo let out an "Ah", with an extremely disappointed expression on his face.
Old Tao frowned, "Master, follow me."
Tao Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, after entering the study door, Lao Tao immediately said nonchalantly, "Master, do you still remember what you promised in front of the master's grave?"
Tao Mo's face turned pale, and he remained silent.
"Break one's sleeves and divide the peaches, it's against ethics, you can't be obsessed with it anymore." Old Tao's words were sonorous and forceful, directly hitting Tao Mo's heart, "Isn't the price that the master paid with his life not enough?"
Tao Mo only felt the objects in the foreground flicker, and when he came back to his senses, his legs were bent and he knelt on the ground with a snap.
Old Tao was startled, he quickly helped him up and said, "Young master knows it, so why do you do such a great gift?"
Tao Mo stood up with his weak legs, shook his head and said, "I don't know." Just for a moment, his shoulders and legs seemed to be overwhelmed.
"Master." Old Tao raised his voice slightly.
"I know." Tao Mo interrupted him, and hurriedly said, "I promised my father that I would be a good official. I must be a good official." He spoke brightly and fluently, and he didn't know what he was saying to He promised, still reminding himself.
Seeing his pale face and sad expression, Lao Tao couldn't bear to push him any further, "I'm also doing it for the sake of the young master. That Gu She is not easy to get along with at first sight. If you make friends with him, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot."
The corners of Tao Mo's mouth twitched, and he murmured, "I don't know why, but when I saw him, my heart beat so hard."
When Lao Tao thought of that Gu She, he had to admit that he was really handsome. It's just that no matter how handsome you are, you are still a man. If it is pure and soft, maybe it can be taken back and raised in the backyard, but depending on the man's attitude, let alone brought back and raised in the backyard, I'm afraid even Tao Mo might not be willing to accept it when he sent it to his door.
Thinking of this, the sympathy in his heart was exhausted, and he took another heavy dose of medicine, saying: "I think that man treats other men with honest words, so he must not be good for Long Yang. The young master's thoughts should be better. Don't teach him to know, or I'm afraid... it will be disgusting for no reason."
Tao Mo bowed his head, his shoulders were slack, and he said after a while: "I see." He didn't want to be underestimated by that person, let alone disgusted. It's just restraint, how can it be so easy.
Old Tao sighed and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, I'm going to order Hao Guozi to make some New Year's goods. This is our first New Year's in Tanyang County, so it must be lively and lively."
At this moment, Tao Mo was ashamed, ashamed, and disheartened. He nodded indiscriminately, and then went back to his room and fell asleep.
He hadn't recovered yet, and felt depressed, and in the evening, he had a fever again.
Hao Guozi remembered that he hadn't finished the medicine prescribed by the doctor last time, so he fried a pair for him to drink.
After drinking, Tao Mo fell into a drowsy sleep again, and the next day, the fever subsided again, but he still had no energy, just lay crookedly on the bed, and didn't want to get up.
Old Tao secretly regretted what he said yesterday.
After six days like this, Tao Mo finally got out of bed, just in time for Lu Zhenxue to visit the door.
Hao Guozi and Lao Tao worked together to wrap Tao Mo tightly before letting him go to see the guest.
When Lu Zhenxue saw him, he couldn't help being surprised and said, "Why did your lord lose weight?"
Tao Mo waved his hand, "It's just not acclimatized."
"I know a few local doctors with high medical skills, do you need a recommendation?"
"Thank you, no need."
"Your Excellency is the parental official of Tanyang County. Every move is related to the livelihood of Tanyang County. Please take care of yourself." He spoke sincerely, as if he didn't remember the last time he left in a huff.
Tao Mo nodded lazily.
"Actually, the students are here to invite adults to attend the plum blossom banquet tomorrow night." Lu Zhenxue took out a post from his sleeve and handed it over respectfully.
Tao Mo asked suspiciously, "Plum Blossom Feast?"
Lu Zhenxue said: "Tanyang has three treasures, one of which is plum blossoms blooming well. When you come to Tanyang for the first time, you must appreciate it."
Tao Mo didn't really want to go.
Lu Zhenxue saw what he was thinking, and hurriedly said, "Didn't your lord want to meet Mr. Yichui's apprentice last time?"
Tao Mo's heart moved, he wanted to believe but couldn't believe it and asked, "Are they going too?"
Lu Zhenxue smiled but did not answer.
Tao Mo remembered what Old Tao had said before, and shook his head cruelly, saying, "Then I still won't go."
Lu Zhenxue asked in surprise, "Why?"
Tao Mo said: "I'm not ready yet, it's better not to see him for the time being."
Lu Zhenxue obviously misunderstood his preparation, thinking in surprise: Did I underestimate him. Could it be that he saw Mr. Yihammer's high-ranking apprentice for the sake of establishing his prestige, instead of sycophanting and wooing him as he originally thought? But why did he target Mr. Hammer and let the teacher go? Lin Zhengyong's reputation and influence in Tan Yang are not inferior to Mr. Yi Hammer? Could it be that he wanted to defeat each of them
After thinking about it, he felt that there was an unfathomable scheming hidden behind Tao Mo's laziness, even the movements of serving tea were somewhat unpredictable.
"But the students have already spread the news that the adults will be here." Lu Zhenxue pretended to be embarrassed, "I thought the adults would definitely give me these thin noodles, but I didn't think I was being sentimental."
When he said that, Tao Mo couldn't be too unkind, "Then I'll go and sit for a while." Even if he can't get close, it's good to have a look at that person.
Lu Zhenxue was overjoyed in his heart, and said calmly and understandingly: "If that's the case, then tomorrow the students will wait in the humble house for your visit."
