The wine toasted by everyone in front went into Mu Chun's belly. Only Yu Ming's three cups were drunk by Tao Mo himself. Seeing that Tao Mo's stomach flushed after three cups, and Lu Zhenxue had already brought the cup, he used his tricks to replace the wine in Tao Mo's cup with water.
As soon as Tao Mo drank it, he felt that something was wrong: "When did my wine turn into clear water? Someone is drunk and poured water. Please change it for me."
Lu Zhenxue looked at Mu Chun with a meaningful smile, but Mu Chun's expression remained unchanged, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
By the time the wedding banquet was over, Tao Mo was already as drunk as mud.
The Yu family sent someone to help Mu Chun to help Tao Mo, Mu Chun said: "No need." He easily lifted Tao Mo horizontally, carried him out of Yu's house and into the carriage in full view of everyone.
As soon as the carriage turned around, Lu Zhenxue asked, "What do you think of Tao Mo, Master?"
Lin Zhengyong stroked his beard and said, "A great truth is like being subdued, a great ingenuity is like clumsiness, and a great argument is like being insensitive! Alas!"
"Why did the mentor sigh? Is it regretful that he is not the disciple of the mentor, or is it regrettable that we have no human beings?"
"As a teacher, I don't want you to be like him."
"Why? But I have never heard my mentor praise a person like this."
"Don't you hear that it's easy to break."
"Then his butler"
"That Mu Chun is definitely not a housekeeper! His talent is far beyond the reach of a foolish teacher! Such a character, he lives in the county government... Seeing that he has no scruples in hugging Tao Mo, maybe this Tao Mo is his little lover You must not act rashly in front of Tao Mo, firstly, he has a kindness with my Lin family in Yuming's marriage, and secondly, this Muchun will never be offended!"
Mu Chun frowned, it's annoying to have good ears after learning internal skills, Lin Zhengyong and Lu Zhenxue heard every word of the conversation.
He looked at Tao Mo, who was so drunk that he didn't know anything about human affairs, and thought to himself: "How can you compare to Xue Yi and how can I look like a broken sleeve? I just hugged you, and I would cause such gossip? Do Yuan Aozec and Lian Jian still have many broken sleeves
But this misunderstanding will make none of them dare to bully you, so I'm not in vain. "
There was a knock on the car wall: "Stop!"
Hao Guozi hurriedly reined in the horse and opened the curtain.
Tao Mo's face was pale and he was about to vomit.
Mu Chun picked up Tao Mo, jumped out of the car, helped him sit on the side of the road, and made him turn his head to vomit.
Hao Guozi stammered: "You, you, why are you hugging the young master again?"
Mu Chun looked back at him, and Hao Guozi shrank suddenly.
Mu Chun asked: "They're all men, what's the point of hugging?"
Hao Guozi ran over, knelt down beside Tao Mo, snatched Tao Mo from Mu Chun's arms, and let Tao Mo lean on himself.
It was effortless for Mu Chun to stop him, but Mu Chun let Hao Guozi do what he did, just looking at Hao Guozi.
Hao Guozi didn't look at him.
Tao Mo vomited at this time, and Hao Guozi made him lean against her. Although Tao Mo was drunk, he still had some instincts. Afraid of vomiting dirty clothes, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and vomited all over his hand.
Hao Guozi wanted to scrub him anxiously, but she didn't have the strength to move him, and she didn't want to throw him to the ground, so she looked at Mu Chun for help.
Mu Chun folded his arms and turned around: "Don't let me hug, why don't I hug? You come and take care of your young master, I'll wait for you in the car!"
Hao Guozi begged in a low voice, "Mr. Mu!"
Mu Chun squinted at him, came over with a stiff face, picked up Tao Mo, walked to the stream, and then looked at Hao Guozi.
Hao Guozi hurried over to wash Tao Mo's hands.
Two people came by the side of the road, Mu Chun noticed that these two people had no martial arts, so he didn't care. Unexpectedly, when the two came to the front, they stopped.
"Dance text?"
Mu Chun raised his head and saw that these two were women disguised as men, although they were all dusty, they still had makeup on their faces. A good-looking and well-dressed man, with tears in his eyes at the moment, and a habitually pitiful expression.
Mu Chun frowned, instinctively disliking this woman. Before he could speak, Hao Guozi screamed, "Why are you guys?!"
Then he jumped up: "Mr. Mu, let's go, ignore this shameless person."
Mu Chun thought that if this person knew Tao Mo's name three years ago, he might be an old friend in the capital, so it was better to go. So without asking, he picked up Tao Mo and got into the car.
The woman chased after him, Mu Chun turned around, and with just one glance, she stopped in fear.
Another woman rushed over: "Hao Guozi, don't you know my girl?!"
Hao Guozi stuck out his head from the shaft of the car, and said bitterly, "I don't care about you just because I know you! Isn't it enough to hurt my young master?!"
With a flick of the whip, the carriage moved away, faster and faster, and finally galloped.
Hao Guozi looked back and saw the two people no longer, so he let out a sigh of relief and slowed down the horse.
"Is that woman the girl from the brothel that the silly young master used to like?"
Hao Guozi almost fell off the shaft of the car: "Mr. Mu, you also know this?!"
Mu Chun said leisurely: "What is there that I don't know? I know everything about you and your silly young master."
Hao Guozi timidly said, "Mr. Mu, who are you?"
"Anyway—" Through the car curtain, Hao Guozi could also imagine Mu Chun's smiling face, "It won't be the one who hurt your young master."
"what happened again?"
When Mu Chun saw Gu She's face, he was annoyed, as if he owed Gu She a lot of money because he lived in Gu's house.
Gu She's face was so cold that ice could hang on it: "When did Gu She's uncle become the housekeeper of Tao Mo, the seventh-rank sesame official?!"
Mu Chun wiped his face, helplessly: "I became your uncle, so I'm under your jurisdiction, right? If you know, you say I'm your uncle; if you don't know, you think you are my elder !" Turning around to greet Lian Xueyi: "Come, come, pack your luggage and go to the county government office."
Lian Xueyi walked over with a smile: "Now my nephew's family is here, what kind of county government do you live in?! Who are you in the county government?"
Gu She's gaze also fixed on Mu Chun.
Mu Chun shook his robe and raised his legs: "It's not me, but since I'm in charge, there must be my reasons. If you don't like it, I don't want you to see it either. I'll just move away."
Gu She's face was livid, and he stood up: "Please go ahead!"
After Gu She left, Lian Xueyi shook Mu Chun's shoulders reproachfully: "You are always gentle, why are you talking so aggressively today?"
Mu Chun smiled slightly, and took her hand: "Believe me, I must have my reasons for doing things. You will know in the future, and you will thank me."
Lian Xueyi looked at him in surprise, and then smiled: "Okay, I believe you."
For the next ten days, Mu Chun stayed in the county office during the day and returned to Gu's mansion at night. There was nothing wrong with the county government office, and the people in the county town talked about Tao Mo's astonishing butler for a few days, and it gradually faded away, and Gu She's face finally became less ugly.
This day is the 30th day of the first month, the last day of the first month. According to the customs of Danyang, a fire is held to celebrate. The people lit torches and lit fires in their homes. Tao Mo thought it was a novelty at first, so he went to the street to have a look, but after a while he felt tired. Ever since he got drunk at Yu Ming's wedding banquet, his spleen and stomach have been bad, and he has also been lethargic.
Hao Guozi waited for him to lie down early, and fell asleep herself. Sleeping until midnight, he felt someone pushing him. When he opened his eyes, Tao Mo was standing in front of the bed in only his coat. Hao Guozi was startled: "Master! What are you doing? It's so cold in the first month!"
Tao Mo looked out the window and said, "What are you doing there? Why is there a fire?"
Hao Guozi took a look: "God! Could it be that someone's family is in trouble?"
Tao Mo was shocked: "How can that work? Let's go and have a look!"
Busy fishing for clothes to wear. Hao Guozi didn't care about herself, so she took Tao Mo's clothes and waited for him to put them on. As soon as the cloak was put on Tao Mo's shoulders, Tao Mo opened the door and ran away. Hao Guozi was so anxious that he yelled while putting on his clothes.
Tao Mo woke up the three servants at home and the yamen servant on duty at night, and the servants and yamen servant called more people, and ran towards the place where the fire started. When I ran halfway, I knew that there was indeed a fire, and I was busy looking for water to put out the fire. It's a pity that there is no water source near the house where the fire happened. There is only a well several houses away. The well was washed dry and water was brought from another alley to put out the fire.
The house was completely destroyed, but luckily everyone escaped and there were no casualties.
Tao Mo felt relieved, and only then did he feel tired. He tried his best to sit on the ground as steadily as possible to avoid falling, but was supported by a pair of gentle hands: "Wu Wen."
Tao Mo looked back, surprised and suspicious: "Shang Lu?"
Shang Lu helped him to sit down with difficulty, and also sat beside him: "Why, don't you know me?"
"How are you here?"
"Redemption, and then walk around to see where I can settle down." Shang Lu looked at Tao Mo firmly, "I heard they called you Master Tao, so you are the county magistrate here."
Tao Mo nodded: "I just took office a year ago."
He looked at Shang Lu again, why did she redeem herself? Who redeemed her body? Or is she redeeming herself? It turned out that she was not willing when he wanted to redeem her, but why is she willing now
There are a lot of things in my heart, but I can't ask them out, I just mumbled: "It's so late at night, why didn't you sleep?"
Shang Lu looked at the ruins after the fire and just smiled wryly: "The house is burned down, where to sleep?"
"here it is-"
As if knowing what Tao Mo was going to ask, Shang Lu interrupted him: "I'm renting a house."
"Oh." Tao Mo lowered his head, "Do you have no relatives to go to?"
"No." Shang Lu said bitterly, "I thought you would take me in when I met you, but when you saw me, you ran away."
"Me?!" Tao Mo would have jumped up if he hadn't been extremely tired, "When did I see you run away?"
"Ten days ago, on the way to the county seat. A very elegant young man hugged you. Do you like him now?"
Tao Mo thought about it for a while: "I really don't remember this happening. I was drunk that day. The very elegant son you mentioned is a friend of my housekeeper. My housekeeper has something to do. He will be my housekeeper for a few days. He There is a wife."
Shang Lu looked at Tao Mo and smiled slightly. Tao Mo was stunned for a moment, then looked back, but saw nothing, so he asked Shang Lu suspiciously, "What's so happy about it?"
Shang Lu said: "That day I chased after your carriage for a long time but failed to catch up. Later, I found out that this road only leads to Danyang County, so I stayed in Danyang and looked for it on the street every day. I really didn't expect this to happen. Met." She stared at Tao Mo, "Wu Wen, I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime, but I am so happy to see you again."
Her eyes were gentle and affectionate, but Tao Mo moved back as if stung by a bee, and then stood up: "Well, you have no place to stay, let me help you find an inn!"
Shang Lu's complexion immediately changed, it was pale, only the tears were on the verge of tears, and there was a faint sense of vitality.
A figure ran over to help Shang Lu up, it was Peng Xiang.
"Girl, what are we going to do tonight?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Tao Mo, but Tao Mo stood there as if guilty, lowered his head and did not look at them, and murmured, "I'll let Guozi find an inn."
Peng Xiang choked and said: "Even if you have no fate with my girl, you are old friends anyway, can't your county government take us in?"
"What old friend? I think it's an enemy!" Hao Guozi appeared out of nowhere, stood in front of Tao Mo, turned her head and choked on Bai Pengxiang, "It's not enough to kill my master, do you want to come and kill my young master? ?”
Pulling Tao Mo away: "Master, let's go!"
Tao Mo didn't leave: "It's not convenient for the two girls, you can help them find an inn."
Hao Guozi stomped her feet: "Master!"
Shang Lu said softly: "Staying in the inn for one or two days is not a long-term solution. It's better to ask Wu Wen to help us find a private house to rent."
"This is even more unacceptable." Mu Chun appeared leisurely, "If you rent a private residence, people will think that the county magistrate's golden house hides his beauty! It will damage the reputation of Shang girl."
Shang Lu saw that he was elegant and pleasant, and although she believed what Tao Mo said about him having a wife, she still couldn't help feeling jealous.
"Mr. Mu, why are you here?" Tao Mo looked at Mu Chun, "Are you woken up by us?"
Mu Chun sighed: "You put out the fire so loudly, I won't be able to wake up! Come on, Hao Guozi will wait for the young master to go back. Let me, the housekeeper, take Miss Shang to the inn!"
"Then—" Tao Mo told Mu Chun, "Find someone to clean it."
Mu Chun had a half-smile but not a smile: "Okay."
Tao Mo turned around and told Hao Guozi: "Go and see the house that caught fire. If there are any neighbors who can't take him in at night, I'll have them go to the county government office and make do with it for the night."
Hao Guozi responded and ran away. Mu Chun, who hadn't gone far, looked at Shang Lu's whole body and smiled with satisfaction.
