Tao Mo watched Gu She approach, and then watched Gu She sit down beside him. He couldn't help looking for Yang Liu'er, there were at least seven or eight people away from them.
Gu She asked: "What musical instruments are you good at?"
Tao Mo replied honestly, "I don't even know how to do it."
"You drink for me, and I'll play for you."
"Uh—" Tao Mo blushed so embarrassingly. Gu She understood at a glance: "You can't drink too much either."
Tao Mo nodded almost invisible.
Gu She stopped talking, but cast his eyes on the sink.
Tao Mo saw that Yang Liuer was looking for Gu She, so he turned his head and said to Gu She, "Master Gu, Miss Yang is looking for you." Unexpectedly, he turned his head too far, and he didn't know which part of his body touched the sink. Thanks to Gu She's quick eyesight, Otherwise the sink will fall over.
Tao Mo apologized repeatedly, but didn't know what to do. Gu She said: "It's okay." He calmly put the sink back on, then waved to Yang Liu'er, as if to say: "I saw you."
But there is no sense of the past.
Seeing that Gu could not pass the shot, Yang Liuer was obviously very disappointed, and reluctantly announced the start of the banquet.
Tao Mo watched the wine glasses nervously, afraid that they would stop in front of him. Unexpectedly, the wine glass passed in front of him and Gu She without any hesitation, but stopped repeatedly in front of the crowned young man behind him.
Tao Mo looked at Gu She questioningly, but Gu She was not surprised, he was still so calm and composed.
Tao Mo couldn't help feeling a strange feeling, as if this was another Brother Lian.
"Gu Gongzi Gui Geng"
Tao Mo blurted out. Gu She: "Dinghai year."
Tao Mo was pleasantly surprised that Gu She was the same age as Lian Jian! He was so excited that he blurted out again: "I am in the year of Yi Chou!"
Gu She looked back at him: "I once asked Gui Geng for advice."
"Uh—" Tao Mo was embarrassed, "No."
Seeing that Gu She was about to turn around again, he hurriedly asked: "Then can I say it?"
Gu She looked at the idiot's gaze: "If I say no"
Tao Mo whispered: "Then please pretend you didn't hear."
The young man with a high crown snorted, Tao Mo felt ashamed, but Gu She still had a half-smile: "But I've heard it."
Tao Mo blushed and thought: "Then what should I do?"
The young man with a high crown suppressed a smile and interjected: "Master Tao, Junior Brother Gu, wine glasses."
Gu She looked back at the sink, the wine glass was sitting between Tao Mo and him. Tao Mo immediately forgot about "Gui Geng": "Huh? This--"
Gu She glanced at the young man Gao Guan: "You are quite free."
The young man with a high crown smiled: "Don't dare, the way of a man is still on the other side."
Gu She looked at Tao Mo again, this glass of wine could be his or Tao Mo's.
Tao Mo also looked at him: "I will drink for you, and you will play for me."
Gu She smiled slightly.
Under Gu She's smile, Tao Mo suddenly became courageous, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
Gu She said: "Bring the piano."
Yang Liu'er was far away, so she didn't see the situation here clearly, and asked: "Why is Master Tao drinking and Senior Brother Gu playing the piano?"
The young man with a high crown laughed and said, "The wine glass stops between you Senior Brother Gu and Master Tao, they are half of each other!"
Yang Liu'er let out an "oh" and said again: "Let me play with Senior Brother Gu!"
All the disciples immediately burst into laughter, Yang Liuer's face was flushed.
Gu She said indifferently: "The wine glass stops here at Gu She's place, it has nothing to do with my junior sister."
As he said that, before Yang Liu'er's flute was brought, he began to test the sound.
The last time Gu She played the piano, Tao Mo was distracted and didn't listen to it. This time it was the first time he heard Gu She play the piano. He just played it casually a few times, and felt like a fairy sound.
As soon as Gu She started playing, he was stunned, he had never heard anyone play the piano so well!
Gu She swayed calmly, while Tao Mo looked at him bewilderedly, thinking that either Gu She was relegated to the mortal world, or he strayed into the fairy world.
I don't know when, Gu She pressed the string and stood up: "Today's excitement is over, Gu She bids farewell."
Tao Mo looked up at him, not moving.
The young man with a high crown asked in surprise, "What's wrong with Mr. Tao?"
Tao Mo acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and still stared at Gu She bewilderedly.
Gu She sighed, took Tao Mo's arm and pulled him up: "What's wrong?"
Tao Mo was raving: "I hate that I can't play the piano."
Gu She frowned tightly: "How about meeting?"
Tao Mo lowered his head and groped in his sleeve, Gu She asked again: "What are you looking for?"
"Where's the handkerchief? I obviously put it on."
Gu She took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him.
Tao Mo just put it on his face, then took it away again, flattered: "This handkerchief—this handkerchief is so good."
Gu She said: "No matter how good it is, it can be used."
Tao Mo heard Gu She's tone a little unhappy, hurriedly wiped away his tears, stuffed them back into his sleeves: "I'll return it to you after I wash it."
Gu She said impatiently, "So what if you haven't said that you can play the piano?"
Tao Mo looked into his eyes: "If I can play the piano, I can make peace with you."
The young man Gao Guan stood up, and reminded Tao Mo meaningfully: "Someone made peace with Junior Brother Gu on the piano and flute."
As he spoke, he looked at Yang Liu'er who had been watching here.
Tao Mo smiled happily: "That's good. I just heard one zither sound confiding, but the other qin sound didn't respond, so I feel depressed."
As soon as Gu She's face changed, he turned his head and left. Tao Mo was puzzled, thinking that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly chased him out.
After going out the door, Gu She stopped suddenly, and Tao Mo almost bumped into Gu She's back.
"What else is there?"
"What did I say wrong?" Seeing that Gu She didn't answer, he said again: "If I said something wrong, Mr. Gu can just scold me. I know I'm stupid."
"No." Gu She paused, "I'm leaving."
"etc!"
"What else is there?"
"I, I just want to ask you, if there is such a thing as the Luan brothers' property dispute, can I come and ask you?"
"Can."
Tao Mo's heart was in full bloom, and he bowed and bowed: "Thank you Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, go slowly."
Gu She took two steps, then stopped: "Do you want to learn the piano?"
Tao Mo nodded: "En."
Gu She walked and asked, "Is there a master?"
Tao Mo shook his head: "Not yet."
Gu She stopped in front of the car, and Tao Mo saw that he intended to talk, so he hurriedly took two steps to follow.
Gu She didn't look back, but seemed to see that he had already walked over.
"Do you have a more suitable candidate than me in your mind?"
Tao Mo told Lao Tao, got into Gu She's carriage, and followed Gu She to Gu's mansion. This is the first time he has entered Gu's mansion, and he never dreamed that there would be such a beautiful house in the world: it is not magnificent, but it shows luxury and exquisiteness in the details;
"Has the study not arrived yet?"
Tao Mo was puzzled. The study room is generally a place for receiving guests, and it is located in the first courtyard.
"The outer study has passed, I will take you to the inner study."
"Ah" Tao Mo was very moved. Generally only close friends can go to the inner study. He felt that Gu She was too kind to him, and he couldn't help thinking about what shopkeeper Liang and Master Jin had said.
Before Tao Mo could get out of the shock brought by Gu's residence, Tao Mo was frightened again by the inner study: from the ground to the roof, it was full of bookshelves, and every shelf was full of books. He took a cursory glance at it, and there were almost everything from a collection of classics and histories to legendary stories, from geography of mountains and rivers to overseas interesting talks, from performances in court to field farming and mulberry.
"There are so many books, which category do you usually read?"
"I've read all the books here."
"..." Tao Mo looked at Gu She with eyes that could be said to be adored.
Gu Xiaojia directed his servants to move the tables and chairs aside, and move the piano case over. Tao Mo saw a half-drawn painting spread on the moved table: the wind and rain, the branches were tilted, leaving a little blank in the lower part, only a curved line was drawn.
Tao Mo couldn't help asking: "Is this a bay of water?"
Gu She nodded: "Not bad."
"If you only paint water, there will be too much blank space in the lower part. Is there anything else you want to paint, Mr. Gu?"
"If it were you, how would you treat it?"
"If I... Shatin, long grass - there must be a bird's nest!"
Gu She stared at him closely: "What kind of bird's nest?"
"With such a strong wind, the bird's nest will surely overturn, and there must be young birds in the nest, and they must be panicked at this moment."
"What a baby bird"
"If it were me, I would draw a big bird to protect each other with its wings." Looking at Gu She expectantly, "What is Mr. Gu's plan?"
Gu Sagittarius shook his hand, and the tea spilled. Gu Xiaojia said "Ouch", and took a rag to wipe it.
Gu She waited for Gu Xiaojia to finish wiping, and ordered: "Wash your hands and play the piano."
Tao Mo looked at the painting unwillingly, and reminded him in a low voice: "Young Master Gu."
Gu She said: "Since I have taught you the art of playing the piano, you must have a title."
Tao Mo hurriedly straightened his clothes, but Gu She raised his hand to stop him: "Are you planning to apprentice?"
Tao Mo nodded: "Since I learned the piano from Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu is Tao Mo's master."
"Then be a teacher for a day and be a father for life"
"Ah - as it should be."
"That's all." Gu She wanted to get up, "I'm only two years older than you, and I'm not interested in being someone's parent."
"Master Gu!" Tao Mo was so anxious that he wished he could hold him down so that he wouldn't get up. He stretched out his hands, but he didn't dare to push him down. Gu She understood, and sat down again: "If you really want to learn the piano from me, you don't need to perform the discipleship ceremony. You and I are about the same age, and you can be both a teacher and a friend. You don't have to call me Mr. Gu, just call me Gu She. "
Tao Mo nodded excitedly: "My name is Tao Mo."
Gu She smiled.
Xu Yu asked again: "Why do you look at me like this?"
Tao Mo said earnestly: "The way you smile looks like ice and snow have just melted. You look great. You should smile more. Like today, if you smile twice, it's fine."
"I laughed twice today?"
"Yeah, once when I said 'I'll drink for you and you'll play for me', just now."
Gu She was thoughtful.
When Gu Xiaojia played the piano, Gu She explained various basic knowledge to Tao Mo. Tao Mo studies hard, but his talent is mediocre. Gu She sighed: "Don't tell me you have the power of appreciation but no ability to perform?"
Tao Mo said guiltily, "I'm always so stupid, I don't tell others that you taught me."
Gu She looked at him amusedly: "I just want people to know that I am your master, whether or not I want to learn the piano is the second priority."
Tao Mo didn't understand. Gu She didn't explain either: "Today's lecture is over, I will give you the piano you used, and you can practice it at ordinary times."
"Okay. I've been bothering Mr. Gu for too long today, so Tao Mo bids farewell."
Gu She frowned: "Young Master Gu"
Tao Mo said "ah", "Gu She, Gu She."
Gu She waved his hand.
Tao Mo bowed, took the Qin wrapped by Gu Xiaojia, and walked out of the study.
When Gu Xiaojia sent him back, he saw Gu She looking at the half-finished painting in front of the table.
"Who did you tell, what is not in my painting?"
Gu Xiaojia looked blank: "Young master has never told Xiao Jia, and Xiao Jia doesn't know what you want to draw."
Gu She was silent.
