"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Gu's carriage?"
A strange voice came, and Gu Sheduan sat in the car without moving.
Gu Xiaojia stared at the man bitterly, but the man refused to let go: "Could Mr. Gu visit your good student?"
Another laughed and said, "How do you know? Maybe it's to comfort Brother Lin who just lost the lawsuit!"
"Wonderful! Mr. Gu's students have judged Mr. Gu's senior brother to lose the lawsuit!"
"Cough!" With a loud cough, Lu Zhenxue said slowly, "It can be seen that there is still a righteous way in this world, right?"
All the disciples of the Lin Sect agreed: "Yes-ah!"
Lu Zhenxue said again: "You are accepting someone as a student, and you are giving sachets and so on. It can't be compared to a fair one, right?"
The disciples of the Lin Sect agreed again: "Yes—ah!"
Lu Zhenxue shook his folding fan lightly, looking very proud and unrestrained—even though today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone is wearing cotton clothes.
He was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, when the curtains of the carriage opened, Gu She gave him a cold look, and choked his smile in his throat.
"You won the case?"
Lu Zhenxue said uncomfortably, "Should I send you an invitation card from Junior Brother Yu, and come to have a wedding banquet then?"
"Yu Ming has no faults?"
"this-"
"What is this?" Gu Xiaojia saw his hesitation, and immediately said in a choked voice: "Could it be possible for him to make up rumors in the Ming Dynasty?"
"Because the family paid double the dowry to Tong's family, and in addition - Junior Brother Yu was sentenced to twenty sticks."
All the disciples of the Lin Clan saw that the situation was not good, so they all remained silent.
Gu Xiaojia laughed loudly and said, "Twenty strokes, you're afraid you're half dead, aren't you? And marry a wife. Let's heal your wounds first!"
Lu Zhenxue smiled but said, "Master Tao's verdict is in hand, so it's not a matter of time to marry a wife? Body wounds are better than heart wounds."
Gu Xiaojia choked, indeed, no matter how miserable Yu Ming was, he got what he wanted. Although Tong Yingwu got back the double dowry, he lost his beloved woman.
At this time, Gu She's cold voice came: "Go home!"
Gu Xiaojia whipped the whip falsely at the disciples of the Lin Sect, while they were avoiding, shook the reins, and the carriage passed through the crowd.
Tao Mo held the qin and waited outside the gate of Gu's residence early. Gu She got out of the car, without looking at him, and went straight in. Gu Xiaojia even made a hateful face at him.
Tao Mo was puzzled, and walked in after Gu She. The concierge didn't know what was going on and didn't stop him.
Gu Xiaojia walked a few steps, and found Tao Mo following in, and stopped Tao Mo: "I said, can some people show some face? How come they have the nerve to come to the door? Really!"
"..." Tao Mo looked at Gu Xiaojia ignorantly, "Didn't you say that Gu She asked me to learn the piano?"
"I—" Gu Xiaojia choked again, what's wrong with me today? I've been upset all the time!
Gu She threw a sentence from a distance: "Let him come."
Gu Xiaojia suddenly gloated: Young Master will personally deal with this careless person!
It was still the study room, but the light seemed a little dim. Tao Mo looked seriously at Gu She's face, and after a long time he asked timidly, "Did someone make you angry?""
"Tong Yingwu sued Yu Ming, how did you try it?"
"This matter," Tao Mo became interested, "actually, the Tong Yu family is fighting for a daughter. The Tong family wins because of the marriage contract, and the Yu family wins because the girl has a heart. I judge the Yu family to pay double the bride price to the Tong family, and Tong Jing's two The family terminated the marriage contract. Miss Jing's marriage contract with Yu Ming, hit the top ten boards. Yu Ming covets the daughter who is already engaged, and also hits the top ten boards. "
"Are you sentenced to ten boards per person?"
"Yeah." Tao Mo nodded, "But Yu Ming will take the ten boards for Miss Jing. I said that if you want to replace me, I will exchange your two boards for Miss Jing's one board. He agreed. But it was twenty boards. When I saw that he couldn't hold on any longer, I yelled to stop."
Gu She was silent. Tao Mo put down the piano in his arms, and opened the case: "After you taught that day, I went back to practice."
Gu She remained silent. Tao Mo asked: "Why are you upset, can you tell me? Maybe you won't be so angry after talking about it."
Gu She raised his eyes and stared at him closely, his eyes were like the dazzling sunlight at noon, and Tao Mo had nowhere to hide.
Tao Mo looked at himself, then touched his face: "But what's wrong with me?"
"Do you know who Tong Yingwu is?"
"I heard from Mr. Jin that he is the nephew of Mrs. Yichui, your wife."
"Do you know who is Tong Yingwu's lawyer?"
"I met you at the banquet in the third year of junior high school, your senior brother."
"..." Indeed, telling Tao Mo these things is nothing, even if there is only a piece of paper missing, he can't pierce it.
"My brother and wife's nephew lost the lawsuit, should I be happy?!" Gu She's patience finally ran out.
Tao Mo finally understood, and said timidly, "But, shouldn't lovers get married eventually?"
Gu She looked disgusted: "What does it have to do with me?"
Tao Mo argued: "Even if Miss Jing is awarded to Tong Yingwu, it's just adding a pair of resentful spouses to this world. Isn't getting married for the sake of the two being happy and accompanying each other for life?"
Gu She had a look of incredulity on his face: "What kind of love is there in this world? Who can escape the world's teasing in the end? It's better not to be emotional in the first place than to wait until the heart is broken when you are disappointed!"
Tao Mo was dumbfounded, just looked at him, speechless for a long time.
Seeing his appearance, Gu She became even angrier: "It's in vain for me to use the name of teaching the piano, and I promise you to be both a teacher and a friend, so that you can be an official until today, and you will repay me like this!"
Tao Mo's face was terribly pale. He stood up slowly, glanced at the piano that had just been taken out of the case, as if reaching out to pick it up, but retracted his hand, and finally looked back at Gu She, turned around gone.
Gu Xiaojia didn't send him off, and cursed bitterly: "Young master, this Tao Mo is too heartless! Young master treats him differently and covers him in everything, and he doesn't even take the note from young master seriously!"
Gu She sat leaning against the table, propped his forehead with one hand, and put the other hand clenched into a fist on the table, his knuckles turned white, motionless like a stone statue.
Gu Xiaojia continued to scold Tao Mo, and the scolding was nothing more than ungrateful and wolf-hearted. After scolding for a long time, until he was tired, Gu She still didn't express anything.
But the fist is not as tight as it was at first.
Gu Xiaojia tried to persuade him: "Let me bring you some tea and rice."
Only then did Gu She take off the hand supporting her forehead, and shook her head.
Gu Xiaojia set out the sea of tea and took hot water from the stove: "Young master, do you want some tea?"
Gu She opened the tea pot and picked up the tea chopsticks.
Gu Xiaojia waited until Gu She sipped his tea, then said cowardly: "Actually—"
Seeing that Gu She ignored him, he went on to say, "I don't think it's interesting for Tong Yingwu to marry Jing Juan. Jing Juan's heart belongs to Yu Ming, and maybe he has already crossed the line in secret."
"Why didn't you say it in the Yang Mansion?"
"I'm just talking in front of the young master. Tong Yingwu is so infatuated, isn't it just a waste of time if I say it?"
"What's the point of Yu Ming insisting on marrying Jing Juan? How are women in the world different?"
"That's different, Yu Ming and Jing Juan are in love with each other!"
"Love?" Gu She sneered, "What is love?"
"Young master."
Gu Xiaojia looked at Gu She expectantly. If Gu She looked back at him now, he would definitely see the deep affection in his eyes.
But Gu She didn't look at him: "Forget it, go get some tea and rice, then leave."
The light in Gu Xiaojia's eyes gradually dimmed.
After Gu Xiaojia left, Gu She opened a painting box, which contained a scroll and a jade plaque. He took out the jade tablet and rubbed it lightly.
After a long time, he sighed softly: "What is love? You can never tell me again."
He raised his head, his eyes sparkling.
Tao Mo returned to the county government office, and as soon as he entered, he was stunned.
A tall and tall figure turned around, and Tao Mo only thought of four words - "Warm and moist as jade".
There are many handsome men in this world, but the ones Tao Mo will never forget are Lian Jian and Gu She. Although Lian Jian and Gu She look exactly alike, their temperaments are vastly different.
The degree of astonishment of this person is no less than that of Lian Jian and Gu She. If Lianjian is the scorching sun in summer and Gu She is the snow mountain in winter, then this person is the gentle breeze in spring.
The gentle breeze in spring is always comfortable, so comfortable that Tao Mo completely ignored the old Tao who was on the side, and asked the spring breeze: "Excuse me, my lord is—"
Chunfeng smiled slightly: "It's Xia Muchun."
Mu Chun!
Tao Mo's dull eyes finally found Lao Tao. Lao Tao explained: "After the young master went to Gu's residence, Mu Chun came to look for me."
He didn't finish speaking, because Tao Mo jumped in front of him, opened his arms, and blocked him behind.
"..." Lao Tao and Mu Chun were both stunned. Tao Mo had never practiced martial arts, but his speed surprised the two martial arts masters.
"Don't kill Lao Tao! He has been very guilty all these years and wants to ask you to atone for his sins. He is a vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. I know he deserves what he deserves, but killing a repentant person will not help the past, but will not help the future. There is a mistake. You are a gentleman who understands righteousness, you should know the reason!"
Mu Chun's height was similar to Tao Mo's, but under his smiling gaze, Tao Mo felt that he was like a god on a high seat, and he was trembling under his feet.
Yes, trembling, he was trembling. In front of a martial arts master like Mu Chun, his life is like an ant. It was easy for Mu Chun to kill him and Lao Tao together.
Mu Chun said indifferently: "If you don't kill him, how can the brothers who died because of his betrayal rest in peace?"
"Can you—" Tao Mo looked at Mu Chun eagerly, "give him a chance to make meritorious deeds?"
"Oh?" Mu Chun asked with great interest, "How to make meritorious deeds?"
Tao Mo doesn't know anything about the world. He turned his head to look at Lao Tao, only to find that there were tears on Lao Tao's face and a smile at the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
"Master." Old Tao pressed down his outstretched arm, "Mu Chun didn't come to kill me."
Mu Chun sighed with a smile: "Elder Lu, you are so boring, I still want to see what he can say."
Tao Mo looked at Mu Chun expectantly: "—You won't kill Lao Tao?"
Mu Chun laughed loudly: "If I want to kill him, do I still need to talk nonsense with you?"
"and you-"
"I'm here to ask him to go back and continue to be an elder."
Tao Mo's heart relaxed, and he immediately softened to the ground, Lao Tao hurriedly supported him.
Tao Mo remembered that Lao Tao was going to leave again, and when he stood still, he hugged Lao Tao and cried. He was half a head taller than Lao Tao, but he put his head on Lao Tao's shoulder and cried until his heart broke, like a child about to be abandoned by his father.
Lao Tao held Tao Mo in his arms, and looked at Mu Chun pleadingly, and Mu Chun shook his head helplessly.
