Tao Mo blurted out: "I!" After saying it, his heart, which was already beating wildly, calmed down accidentally, like the calm before the storm, full of restlessness and anxiety.
Gu She raised his eyebrows, "You come here every day?"
Stormy, heart beating wildly like a storm. Tao Mo couldn't hide the joy on his face, and nodded vigorously, "Come, definitely come, come on time."
Gu She lowered his eyes.
Tao Mo looked at him with trepidation, fearing that the joy at this moment was just a dream.
After a while, Gu She said, "I'll send someone to take you back."
Although Tao Mo had a carriage, at this moment, he didn't want to reject Gu She's kindness at all. "I, then shall I come tomorrow?"
Gu Sheshi calmly said: "Didn't you promise it?"
"It's guaranteed, it's guaranteed." Tao Mo felt as if he was floating in the clouds, and he didn't focus on going up and down, for fear of falling and waking up his dream. He stared at Gu She and grinned, not even noticing that Gu Xiaojia came in.
Seeing his stupid look, Gu Xiaojia felt his scalp go numb.
How could this person... have such a relationship with the young master
After the inexplicable question and answer with Gu She yesterday, some terrible thoughts turned in his mind from time to time.
"Drink tea." He put the teacup on the tea table far away, trying to increase the distance between Gu She and Tao Mo.
Tao Mo's heart blossomed, and he didn't mind, he shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty."
Gu Xiaojia put the tea on the desk, and kept looking back and forth between Gu She and Tao Mo. Is he late, did he miss something? Why is the atmosphere so different from before
Gu She said: "Aren't you going to pack your luggage?"
Gu Xiaojia was taken aback, "Luggage?" He turned to look at Tao Mo.
Tao Mo came back to his senses and said, "Ah, I don't have much luggage, so I'm not in a hurry."
Gu Xiaojia raised his voice, "You want to move out?"
Tao Mo scratched his head and said, "I've been away from the county office for so long..."
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Gu Xiaojia immediately changed his face, and smiled, "Is there anything I can do for you? Do you want me to see you?"
Tao Mo said blankly, "Okay."
Gu Xiaojia's face was flushed with joy, her eyes sparkled, and she almost put the word "happy" on her left and right cheeks, "Come back and take a walk when you have time. But Mr. Tao has a lot of things to do every day, so maybe he doesn't have that much time."
"Ah, no. Don't worry, I will come back every day." Tao Mo assured again and again.
Gu Xiaojia's smile froze, "Come back? Every day?"
Tao Mo kept nodding, "I'll be back to play chess."
"Running back and forth like this..."
"The county government is not far from the Gu residence."
"But the county government has a lot of affairs..."
"There's not much I can do to help."
"..." Gu Xiaojia showed his trump card, "Master Tao still needs to take care of Mr. Yiyu?" Although he hated Yiyu, Gu Xiaojia was very grateful for the existence of such a difficult person.
Tao Mo said: "I'm from the same town as him. If he's in trouble, he will take care of him wherever he can. But Tanyang County is very peaceful, and nothing serious will happen."
Gu Xiaojia is poor at technology.
Gu She finally opened his mouth and said, "I heard that the kitchen is leaking."
Gu Xiaojia's back felt cold.
Gu She said: "Go and guard tonight."
…
Misfortune comes out of your mouth. Why can't he control his mouth
Gu Xiaojia regretted it too late.
Tao Mo went back to the county office.
Lao Tao met him at the door, and when he saw him get off Gu's carriage, he was slightly taken aback, and said, "Where is Hao Guozi?"
Tao Mo said, "Behind."
Sure enough, Hao Guozi quickly appeared at the end of the alley in a carriage.
Lao Tao frowned slightly, "Could it be that the young master has a lot of luggage?" It shouldn't be so. Back then, when they left their hometowns, they were no more than one carriage with their luggage, but it turned into two carriages just to stay in Gu's residence temporarily.
Tao Mo didn't know how to explain it, so he said, "Mr. Gu's kindness."
Looking at his expression, Lao Tao vaguely guessed the cause and effect, but felt more and more unable to see through Gu She's mind. He asked himself countless people, but he only had a kind of paradoxical, paradoxical hesitation towards Gu She.
Gu She is special to Tao Mo. If it wasn't special, he would never come to the inn at midnight. But what kind of special is this special? Are you curious? Doubt? Or... the love between men and women
Old Tao suddenly shivered.
Although Tao Mo has a gentle temperament, it is difficult to regard him as a woman no matter in terms of appearance, words and deeds. Gu She... Probably not, right
Seeing Lao Tao standing at the door, Tao Mo's expression changed rapidly, and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Old Tao coughed dryly, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Let's go in first." No matter what Gu She wanted to do, he couldn't slap him, so he just had to keep an eye on Tao Mo.
The news that Tao Mo moved back to the county government soon reached Yiyu's ears. Sure enough, Peng Xiang no longer went to Gu's mansion to look for him, but came to the county government in person, saying that Yi Yu's mood was still not clear, and her condition had worsened.
Tao Mo originally wanted to see him, but he couldn't afford it.
First, another case came out in the county government. A litigator sued his wife for adultery with a butcher. The litigator is eloquent and has a deep understanding of the Yamen's case handling process. He comes up every day to make troubles, making the Yamen's peace.
The second is that he abides by the agreement to go to Gu's mansion to play chess every night. I don't know if Gu She is on purpose or not. A game of chess is always played until midnight. Naturally, Tao Mo can't visit Yiyu in the middle of the night, so he has to delay it. After being so busy for seven or eight days, Master Jin and Cui Jiong finally found out that the adultery between the litigant's wife and the butcher was a fiction. Only then did Tao Mo heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking of Qi Yu who was sick at home, he asked Hao Guozi to prepare a small gift to visit .
Entering the courtyard of Yi Yu's house, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.
Hao Guozi pursed her lips and said, "It's just a joke."
Tao Mo was surprised, "Is this how you use it for acting on every occasion?"
Hao Guozi said: "Other people may use this word in some context, but Yiyu... tsk tsk."
Peng Xiang, who was leading the way, heard this, but without saying a word, he brought the two of them into the room, pointed in the direction of the bed, and said, "Whether it's a play on the spot, why do you have to see it for yourself?"
Tao Mo approached slowly, and was shocked when he saw Yi Yu's appearance at this time, and stammered, "You, how did you look like this?"
Qi Yu was originally thin, but now her cheeks were even more sunken, and her arms exposed outside the quilt were like firewood, anyone who looked at it felt that it could be broken with just a light touch.
Peng Xiang said with a crying voice, "Since Mr. Tao left last time, Young Master hasn't eaten much. I asked the doctor to see it. The doctor said it was depression and heart disease, but even prescribed several prescriptions, it didn't help. The doctor said , if this continues, I'm afraid we will have to prepare for the funeral."
"Really?" Hao Guozi muttered, but seeing Yiyu's appearance, she believed it a little bit.
Yi Yu's originally fair face had a layer of black and yellow, as if shrouded in death, extremely weak.
Tao Mo sighed, "Why don't you see it?"
Qi Yu smiled wryly and said: "How can I see it? I finally came out, but it's better not to come out. If I haven't come out, I... still have misses in my heart."
His gaze was burning, but it was different from Gu She's calm gaze, but a deep gaze. Tao Mo lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly.
Yi Yu said: "Do you still remember the first time we met?"
Tao Mo said: "I remember. It was the first time I went back to Qunxianglou. You were wearing an emerald green gauze dress lined with white brocade, and a jasper hairpin with a pearl on it."
Yiyu listened quietly, then grinned suddenly and said, "That's great, you still remember." Although his complexion turned yellow, his facial features have not changed, so when he smiles, he can vaguely see the upside-down sentient beings in Qunxianglou. shadow. "I don't remember." He said softly, "My memory of you started when you secretly stuffed a bank note into your hand."
Tao Mo said shyly, "I, I just don't want Zhang Bao to withhold your money."
Qi Yu said: "It's a pity that Zhang Bao still found out. You don't know, after you left, he came to me directly." What he didn't say was that after Zhang Bao found him, he directly gave the twenty taels Zhang Bao's banknotes were thrown on Zhang Bao's face. Twenty taels was like a joke to him at that time.
Tao Mo asked, "Ah, then, did he take it away?"
Qi Yu blinked, "Of course not. I just said he was wrong."
Tao Mo smiled lightly.
Yi Yu's heart suddenly twisted.
If only, if only the twenty taels was still there.
