Views:

Walking around the porridge shop from the inside to the outside, Tao Moxiang picked up the gold: "First, manage the fire source, second, manage the house, third, manage the water source, fourth, place sand and soil, and fifth, have fire extinguishers." .”

Gu She couldn't help but glanced at Tao Mo: "I was just talking about the porridge shop in general, and it's rare for you to sum it up so well."

Tao Mo was praised, his face flushed, but he was still excited: "It's just that each house has a different structure and different uses, and it needs to be used flexibly."

Gu She said: "It's okay, I'll draw a few illustrations for you, and you can copy the rest."

"Really?" Tao Mo jumped up, "Gu She, you are so kind!"

Gu She's face darkened, and he withdrew his hand. Only then did Tao Mo realize that he had lost his mind for a moment, grabbed Gu She's hands, and scratched his head involuntarily: "I'm sorry. I'm so happy, I..."

"No problem."

Gu She said it was okay, but left Tao Mo behind and walked out alone.

Tao Mo followed Gu She step by step. Seeing that Gu She got into the car and was about to follow, he heard someone calling him softly: "Lord Tao."

Tao Mo looked back and saw that it was Shang Lu.

"I heard that Mr. Tao installed a large vat on the street today to facilitate the people to fight the fire. It is a rare good official. Shang Lu specially borrowed a stove from the inn and made a pot of soup for Mr. Tao. Please Mr. Tao to taste it."

She was carrying a clay pot in her hand. Her shoes were dusty and her face was sweaty. It was obvious that she had searched the streets for a long time.

Tao Mo waved his hand awkwardly: "No need, no need, I just had porridge."

"Then let the fruit be warmed up to drink at night! This is your favorite pig's trotter and lotus root soup."

"No, no, no." Tao Mo was even more embarrassed, "I don't want to drink soup, you can keep it for yourself!"

"Tao Mo." Gu She raised the curtain of the car, "Are you going? I still have something to say about fire prevention."

"Oh." Tao Mo hurriedly said to Shang Lu, "I still have something to do."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shang Lu to speak, he turned and climbed into the carriage. Gu Xiaojia shook the reins, and the carriage drove away.

Peng Xiang came from a distance and took the pot from Shang Lu's hand: "Girl, you should forget about him!"

Shang Lu bit her lip, walked with her head down for a long time, then sighed, and said sadly: "Back then, I was greedy for wealth and looked down on his small farm. Now I want it, but he doesn't give it to me."

Peng Xiang was silent for a while, then said: "The girl is too naive. Back then, the girl told Huang Guangde of his identity, and the fate of getting back together was broken."

Shang Lu suddenly raised her head: "If it were you, could you not say anything?"

Peng Xiang shook his head.

Shang Lu asked, "Then why can't he forgive me?"

Peng Xiang was confused and said: "Thinking for the girl, I think Tao Mo is too heartless; thinking for Tao Mo, but I think the girl is not worthy of forgiveness."

"Really?" Shang Lu murmured, "Maybe I'm brazen, but I'm always unwilling to give up until the end."

On the carriage, Tao Mo tentatively said, "Didn't you say that you still have to tell me about fire prevention?"

"who is she?"

"?" Tao Mo was taken aback.

"Who is the girl who was looking for you just now?"

Tao Mo said listlessly, "An old friend."

"An old relationship?"

Tao Mo nodded.

"Since it's already unintentional, it's better not to come and go."

Tao Mo nodded again: "Yeah. I'm also afraid that if we meet again, she might misunderstand. It's just that I really don't know how to refuse just now. Thank you for having something to tell me."

Gu She smiled.

Tao Mo asked again: "Then what do you say now?"

Gu She said: "Not anymore."

"?"

"It's just to see that you can't evade it, so I can save you."

Tao Mo said gratefully, "Gu She, you are so kind."

"Oh?" Gu She raised her eyebrows, "How good is it?"

"This..." Tao Mo choked.

Gu She said for him: "Teach you how to prevent fire?"

Tao Mo nodded.

"Rescue you?"

Tao Mo nodded again.

"What if I don't teach you fire prevention?"

Tao Mo looked bewildered.

"Well, even if I don't teach you how to prevent fire, I'm still teaching you how to play the piano."

Tao Mo nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Then if I don't teach you how to play the piano?"

Tao Mo was stunned.

Seeing this, Gu She couldn't help laughing: "It's just talking."

Tao Mo immediately felt relieved and smiled embarrassedly.

"Master?" Gu Xiaojia lifted the curtain of the car.

Gu She and Tao Mo looked at him together.

Gu Xiaojia looked at this and then at that. Tao Mo couldn't help looking at Gu She and himself, but he didn't see anything, and then he looked at Gu Xiaojia again.

Gu Xiaojia resentfully said: "Xiaojia made a mistake."

Gu She said lightly: "Kitchen, three days."

"Oh." Gu Xiaojia retracted and put down the car curtain.

"Master, are you still asleep?"

"I can not sleep."

Tao Mo turned over and looked at the top of the tent.

"Master, what did you do today? So happy to be back?!"

Tao Mo sat up abruptly: "You come in and I'll tell you."

Hao Guozi groaned, and ran in from outside the screen, wrapped in quilt and shoes, and sat down at the foot of Tao Mo's bed.

Tao Mo then told him about Gu She's teaching him how to prevent fire during the day.

After hearing this, Hao Guozi looked at Tao Mo suspiciously: "Master, Gu She is not out of good intentions, is he?"

Tao Mo asked in surprise, "How come?"

"Look at Tong Yingwu's case. You just offended him. Would he pretend to teach you how to prevent fire, but actually set you up?"

"No." Tao Mo said with certainty, shaking his head like a rattle, "He's so smart, he's so smart, I've never seen anyone as smart as him. And he's so proud, he Nor is he generally proud, and I have never seen anyone as proud as him. How could he bother to use such a trick? I am not worthy of his treatment!"

"Why is it not worth it? You are the county magistrate!"

"What is a county magistrate in his eyes?"

"That's true." Hao Guozi nodded, "Magistrate Zhang who was pissed off to death in front may have been pissed off by him."

Tao Mo frowned, and said unhappily, "Fruit."

"Okay, okay, I'll change it, young master, don't be angry, Guozi is just talking casually."

Seeing Tao Mo's expression slowly relax, Hao Guozi asked again: "Master, what do you think of Mu Chun?"

"Muchun is fine."

"I also think Mu Chun is good. I don't know how long he will stay in Danyang? Did he leave after Lao Tao came back?"

"It should be." Tao Mo thought, how could the majestic leader of the Demon Cult stay in Danyang with nothing to do, playing as his housekeeper

"Master, who the hell is Mu Chun?"

"This..." Tao Mo said awkwardly, "I can't tell you."

"Can you keep him?"

"He has his things to do, and his wife is waiting for him at home, so how can he stay here and not go back?"

"He has a wife?!"

"What's wrong?" Tao Mo looked strangely at Hao Guozi who almost jumped up.

"No, it's nothing." Hao Guozi sneered, "It's good to have a wife."

"..." Tao Mo was puzzled.

Lian Xueyi sat up.

Mu Chun snatched her back into the bed again: "It's just a few servants."

Lian Xueyi was suspicious: "Why did the servant mention the food box? Does She'er still have supper at this hour?"

Mu Chun said in a daze, "Go to sleep! The moon is in the sky, it's already midnight."

"It's midnight, who wants supper? Who else in this mansion can let the servants have supper at this hour?"

Mu Chun said helplessly: "Who else could it be? Of course it's your good nephew Gu She. He's not a child anymore, do you still care if he doesn't sleep?"

As he spoke, he hugged Lian Xueyi tighter in his arms.

Lian Xueyi kissed him lightly on the eyes: "Hey, you sleep first, I'll go and have a look."

"Hey!" Mu Chun said angrily, "Tao Mo ignored me and ran away with him, are you going to leave me to see him?"

"Oh?" Lian Xueyi asked narrowly, "What's going on?"

Mu Chun recounted what happened in the afternoon. Lian Xueyi laughed straight: "No wonder you came back with a stinky face, and She'er came back with a smile on her face."

Mu Chun disdainfully said, "I can't bear to see Tao Mo sad, so I let him."

Lian Xueyi scratched his nose: "It's like two children playing house."

"What did you say?" Mu Chun lost all sleepiness, turned over to hold her down, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes, "Say it again."

Lian Xueyi hastily surrendered: "Okay, man." He kissed Mu Chun hard on the lips: "My husband, can you let me go and see that child?"

"That's about the same." Mu Chun let go of his hand triumphantly, "Show me what's wrong with Uncle Ben's good nephew?"

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu."

Tao Mo knocked on Lao Tao's door.

Hao Guozi said doubtfully, "Mr. Mu never stays in bed!"

Tao Mo thought for sure: "I see him every day when I wake up, could something happen?"

"Master, let me go, I will kick the door open."

"This—" Tao Mo agreed after a little hesitation, "Mr. Mu! Please allow us to offend you!"

Xu Shi answered Tao Mo's call, the door opened with a creak, and everyone saw a young and beautiful girl.

"This—you are?"

The girl smiled and said, "My name is An Ran, and I am Mr. Mu's maid. What can you do with Mr. Mu?"

Before Tao Mo could answer, a yamen servant ran in: "My lord, there is a Shang girl looking for you outside the door."

"Huh?" Tao Mo looked at Hao Guozi in extreme perplexity.

An Ran chuckled: "Master County Magistrate, are you still afraid of a little girl? Let's go!"

Holding Tao Mo's arm, Tao Mo was involuntarily dragged out of the county office by her without seeing her exert any force.

Shang Lu's expression changed when he saw Tao Mo coming out with a beautiful girl on his shoulders.

"Momo, is she looking for you?"

"Wu—" Shang Lu swallowed the last word, "Who is she?"

Tao Mo was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to break it down. An Ran is not a vegetarian: "What are you looking for from my family, Mo Mo?"

Shang Lu didn't answer, mist gathered in his eyes, but he just looked at Tao Mo fixedly, with a look of "so it was" stunned and desperate.

Peng Xiang poohed: "Mo Mo, Mo Mo, you are so shameless! You are not married, so you are so affectionate!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, she fell down inexplicably and screamed.

An Ran's hand quietly retracted into her sleeve.

Tao Mo couldn't bear it: "Go back, I'll have a few words with Miss Shang."

An Ran's eyes rolled: "Okay! Just say a few words, otherwise I will come out and arrest you."

Before An Ran could turn around, a voice came from the street: "Tao Mo!"

Tao Mo turned his head to look, Gu She lifted the curtain of the car and looked this way. Tao Mo ran over: "Are you here?"

Gu She nodded: "I'll pick you up."

Tao Mo glanced back, and asked Gu She: "Can you wait for a while? Just for a while."

Gu She nodded and lowered the curtain.

When Tao Mo came back, he saw that Shang Lu had already lifted up Pengxiang, Shang Lu, Pengxiang, An Ran, Hao Guozi, the yamen servant...all looked at him eagerly.

He walked up to Shang Lu and said softly but clearly: "Miss Shang. I liked you before, but you and I have already broken up. I am no longer who I was before. If you have anything to take care of in Danyang, You can come to me, after all, you are my old friend. Tao Mo can't do anything else."

Shang Lu whispered: "I saw someone selling candied haws. I remember you like to eat them, so I bought them for you."

Tao Mo shook his head: "I don't like sweets anymore." After a pause, he continued: "My friend is waiting for me, I'm leaving."

Turning around and getting into Gu She's carriage, he realized that Gu She's eyes were bloodshot: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?"

Gu She took out two scrolls: "I was busy with these last night."

Tao Mo unfolded one of them and saw that it was a house fire prevention map. Unfolding the other one, I saw that the paper was full of calm and unrestrained, handsome and graceful.

Tao Mo was startled, then looked at Gu She: "You wrote this?"

"Who else do you think will write you the ten strategies for fire prevention?"

"The note you wrote to me before is not in this handwriting."

"I have never liked to give my pen and ink to outsiders."

Tao Mo stared blankly at those words: "It turns out that the couplets in Gu's residence are all written by you."

Gu She raised her eyebrows: "What?"

Tao Mo shook his head: "It's not that much, it's just that the writing is too good. I used to exchange the land deed of one or two acres of land for a calligraphy and painting in Zhang Zishu, and thought he was already the best in the world. He said that his classmate Gu Xianzhi was the best in the world. First, I still don't believe it. Now I believe it, there are others out there, you are already better than him, and if you add Gu Xianzhi, Zhang Zishu is nowhere to be ranked."

Gu She took a sip of water from his teacup, and said calmly, "I thought you would be anxious to see what the ten fire prevention strategies wrote."

Tao Mo blushed, and then went to see what Gu She had written.

After reading it carefully, I feel that it is deafening and deafening. Every word is a pearl, and the matter of fire prevention suddenly has a direction and a method. Can't help being moved: "Gu She, why are you so good!"

Gu She smiled: "The same sentence, but in another way."

Tao Mo shyly put down the scroll, and before he could stand up, Gu She held him down: "You don't have to."

Tao Mo said guiltily, "You have done so much for me, but I..."

"But let me lose the lawsuit?"

Tao Mo nodded.

"Then—do it all over again, how about you?"

Tao Mo was stunned. He did it all over again, and he still gave the same sentence.

Gu She poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him: "There is no need to mention this matter."

Tao Mo raised his cup gratefully.
