Gu Xiaojia leaned back slightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the carriage of the Yang residence is in front of you."

Gu She only let out a "huh".

Gu Xiaojia stopped the carriage.

The curtain of Yang's car opened a gap: "Where is Senior Brother Gu going?"

Gu She also raised the car curtain: "Guanyin Temple."

Yang Liuer frowned slightly: "Isn't the Guanyin Temple a place to seek marriage? Why did you go there alone?"

"There are also monks in the Guanyin Temple. Brother did not go alone."

He opened the car curtain further, stepped back, and showed Tao Mo's face for Yang Liuer to see.

Tao Mo was startled at first, but then he thought: Gu She is so frank, obviously he thinks there is nothing to hide between the two of them, so why should he hide

What about outing? How about going to the Guanyin Temple for marriage? As long as there is no conflict between him and Gu She, what is there to be afraid of

He raised his eyes and looked at Yang Liu'er calmly.

Yang Liu'er obviously didn't expect the two of them to be so frank, but choked for a while. Just when she didn't know what to say, Gu She let go, and the curtain fell, covering Gu She Tao Mo's face.

"Walk."

The voice of Gu She's order was calm. Gu Xiaojia shook the reins, and the carriage rumbled away.

Tao Mo looked at Gu She quietly, thinking: no matter how Gu She treats Yang Liuer, Gu She always treats him open and frank. Gu She should just treat him as a student and a friend.

When facing Gu She, wanting to hug him or kiss him is just my own unilateral thought. Since Gu She has no intention, I should stick to my duty as a student and a friend and not go too far.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Gu She lift the seat next to him, revealing the hidden compartment inside, and took out a spring suit.

"It's for you."

"This-this-is not appropriate." The huge contrast made Tao Mo stutter in shock.

Gu She frowned displeasedly: "I don't like your clothes, and I'm upset when I see it. As my student, you annoy the teacher, but should you?"

Tao Mo was so bullied by him that he didn't know what to say, so he could only mumble, "It shouldn't be."

"Then put it on."

"But—but—" Tao Mo didn't know what to say, he just felt that it was not good to accept Gu She's gift of clothes.

"What? Want me to change it for you?"

"No no no!"

Tao Mo hastily shielded himself with both hands, as if Gu She was about to jump over and strip him of his clothes.

Gu She couldn't help laughing: "What are you afraid of? It's just scaring you, and you're serious!"

Tao Mo felt relieved when he saw Gu She smiled, but he didn't accept the clothes in Gu She's hand.

Seeing this, Gu She put the new clothes on the small table, knocked on the wall of the car: "Stop."

The car stopped, Gu She said to Tao Mo: "Hurry up and change." He got out of the car.

Leaving Tao Mo in the car, stroking the new clothes on the little table, feeling as if he had knocked over a bottle of five flavors.

After entering the Avalokitesvara Temple, Gu She said to Tao Mo: "Go to Abbot Huiyan first, and after appreciating the treasures, I will accompany you to see the Avalokitesvara Temple."

Of course Tao Mo obeyed Gu She in everything and had no objection.

Abbot Huiyan's quiet room is simple and elegant, and Abbot Huiyan himself has a fluttering beard.

The tea is the best tea, the utensils are the best utensils, and the water is the snow water harvested from plum blossoms.

But the water boiled, and Abbot Huiyan said he was going to change clothes, but he hadn't come back yet.

Tao Mo looked at Gu She, then at Gu She, but Gu She remained motionless.

Tao Mo couldn't help but whispered: "Burning again will turn the running water into stagnant water, making it difficult to make tea."

Gu She sneered: "The old slippery man is lazy! Just let it burn!"

Tao Mo opened the tea pot to have a look, and said, "Good tea can be ruined by stagnant water."

Gu She smiled, "How are you doing?"

Tao Mo looked at him questioningly: "Why don't we brew it first? The abbot should be back by now."

Gu She had no choice but to say, "You can brew it if you want!"

Tao Mo got permission, so he moved to sit in front of the sea of tea, washed the cups, washed the tea...all in one go.

He had just finished making the tea when the door curtain moved, and Abbot Huiyan came back.

"Oh! Why bother the little benefactor?"

Tao Mo hurriedly stood up and returned to his original position. Seeing Abbot Huiyan serving tea to Gu She and him one by one, he took it and held it in his palm.

Abbot Huiyan looked into the cup, closed his eyes and brought it to his lips to sniff, and exclaimed obsessively: "Good tea! Good technique!"

Gu She said lightly: "It's really time for the abbot to come back."

Abbot Huiyan laughed loudly: "Compared to Mr. Gu's tea making method, this old monk is heaven and earth. Just now, this old monk deliberately hid outside the door and came back after Mr. Gu finished making tea."

Gu She sneered and said, "Drink the ready-made, are you still happy?"

Abbot Huiyan didn't take it seriously, he still laughed and said, "Happy! Happy! I don't know if this little benefactor is—"

Tao Mo was stunned, just now when he saw Abbot Huiyan, Gu She had introduced him, why didn't the abbot know who he was

However, Gu She seemed to be used to the abbot's behavior, and said indifferently: "My student, Danyang County Magistrate Tao Mo."

Abbot Huiyan looked at Tao Mo: "Tao Mo, Mr. Tao, the way you make tea just now is really wonderful! Coupled with your graceful figure and chic demeanor, just watching him make tea is already a kind of enjoyment. At this moment— He took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and murmured intoxicatedly: "Taste the tea."

Gu She also raised the cup to his lips, Tao Mo saw that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, knew that he was in a good mood, and felt happy too. I thought to myself: I finally have a skill that I can do well, and I didn't learn it in vain from the doctor of tea in the restaurant.

After drinking tea, Abbot Huiyan wanted to invite Gu Shejianbao, but after talking for a long time, he refused to bring out the collection. Seeing this, Gu She said to Tao Mo: "You go around the temple and come back after about two sticks of incense."

Abbot Huiyan said: "Three pillars of incense! Three pillars of incense!"

Tao Mo smiled and said, "After the two incense sticks, I'll wait for you under the wood incense stick just now."

Gu Xiaojia wanted to accompany Tao Mo, but Tao Mo didn't let him follow because he was afraid that Gu She would need someone to wait on him later.

The Avalokitesvara Temple is not big, but there are many people. The little novice said: "The people who come to offer incense in the temple are all young men and women. If you are interested, ask each other whose family is the young lady, and you will propose marriage when you go back. Fortunately, today is only On February 29th, if it is the first or fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there will be even more people. I think they are all waiting for the first day of March tomorrow."

Tao Mo was already tall, with a tall and straight figure, and wearing the new clothes that Gu She gave him, he looked outstanding, and he was still unconventional among the young people, so it was inevitable that some girls would come to strike up a conversation. Tao Mo was so embarrassed, he had Gu She in his heart, no matter how good he was, he couldn't catch the eye, so he purposely walked to a place where there were few people, and he walked to the backyard wall.

Unknown grass vines and unknown flowers bloomed on the dirt wall in the backyard, like a wall of flowers. He stood there watching, and couldn't help thinking: If this unknown grass knows how to bloom, why should I give up on myself? Even if Gu She is not interested in me, can't I live happily? To be a good official and let the people of Danyang live and work in peace and contentment is my father's last wish, and it has always been my ambition. When there is time to hurt the spring and the autumn, it is better to learn more and be diligent in politics, which is beneficial to oneself and others.

Once the knot was opened, he raised his head, only to find a few peach blossoms protruding from the wall, which were sparsely blooming and quite wild.

Tao Mo looked left and right, and saw that a corner of the courtyard wall had collapsed, so he lifted the corner of his clothes, and came out cautiously from the collapsed place. As soon as he stepped on the flat ground, before he could raise his head, he heard a woman's scream: "Ah! How did you steal?" To see someone show respect?!"

Hearing this cry, the general reaction should be to cover your eyes. But Tao Mo was surprised when he heard that the voice belonged to Yang Liuer, so he raised his head and looked over.

At a glance, Tao Mo was so shocked that his soul flew out of his mind.

"Miss Yang!"

He rushed forward and pushed Yang Liu'er away. At this moment, the dirt wall covered with small grass flowers fell down and hit Tao Mo heavily.

Yang Liu'er was pushed by Tao Mo, but she didn't completely push away. Most of her body was still pressed by Tao Mo, unable to move. She was stunned, and it took her a long time to recover, looked at Tao Mo who was pressing on her, and began to cry.

Beads of sweat dripped down Tao Mo's face, and he said hoarsely, "Please crawl away, girl, I can't hold on anymore."

Only then did Yang Liuer realize that Tao Mo was still supporting his body with his elbows, leaving her a little space. But the space left was still very small, Yang Liu'er felt her body rubbing against Tao Mo when she moved a little, she was ashamed and anxious, and started crying again.

Tao Mo's face became more and more ugly: "Young lady refuses to leave, and if someone comes to see her again, I can't say, so I have no choice but to go to the Yang Mansion to propose marriage."

Yang Liu'er was startled, and hurriedly crawled out from under Tao Mo without any concern for shame. Tao Mo's heart relaxed, his elbows could no longer support him, and he was completely crushed by the adobe wall and fell to the ground.

The adobe wall is covered with small grass flowers, which seems to have covered him with a beautiful quilt. But Yang Liuer didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to move the adobe on Tao Mo's body.

"Why did you save me?"

"Why not help?"

Yang Liu'er wiped away her tears and complained to him: "Why are you so stupid? If I were smashed, wouldn't Senior Brother Gu be yours?"

Tao Mo frowned and said, "If he originally liked you and didn't want you because you were smashed, then I'd rather not have him."

Yang Liu'er said: "That's stupid, I'm not kind to you."

Tao Mo endured the pain and said: "If you can save someone's life, why bother asking about grievances? After the calculation is settled, it will be too late to save someone."

Yang Liu'er wiped away tears while removing pieces of adobe from Tao Mo's body. She is a rich young lady with slender fingers who only know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. How many times have she ever done such rough work? After being tired for a long time, he only removed the adobe from Tao Mo's upper body, and the waist and below were still pressed. She was so angry that she burst into tears again: "I don't care, I'll call someone, at worst I will marry you in the end!"

Tao Mo asked: "If there is no matter today, would you marry me?"

Yang Liuer spat: "Who wants to marry you?"

Tao Mo sighed: "Then why bother? I don't have you in my heart. Marrying you is neither good for you nor for me. You go! Gu She and I made an appointment for two sticks of incense. If he doesn't see me at the appointed place, he must Will find here, and he will save me."

Yang Liu'er cried: "But when will he find it? How long can you support? What if he goes to the front door to find it?"

"He'll always find it here."

Yang Liu'er continued to move the adobe: "Tao Mo, I'm sorry for you. I didn't show respect just now, and you were wearing Senior Brother Gu's clothes. I thought you were him, and I deliberately called you to deceive him, trying to force him to marry me."

Tao Mo was puzzled: "That's because you lied to him, so what does it matter to me?"

Yang Liuer paused, and said angrily, "How stupid are you?!"

Tao Mo said again: "Also, the clothes I wear are new, not your Senior Brother Gu's."

Yang Liuer pouted: "Obviously the style is exactly the same."

"Gu She is wearing black, but I am white."

Yang Liuer reasoned that his words were poor, and moved a few more pieces of adobe before saying: "That's the same, otherwise how would I admit my mistake?"

"I haven't crowned myself yet, and half of my hair is untied."

Yang Liu'er stopped: "Do you still want me to move the adobe?!"

Tao Mo whispered, "Yes."

Yang Liu'er's voice suddenly softened: "Tao Mo."

"Um?"

"Shall we make up?"

"I have no grudges with you."

"I mean—" Yang Liu'er considered her words carefully, "Let's stop arguing. If I marry Senior Brother Gu in the future, you can still be with him in the name of teacher and student. Let's get along in harmony, shall we?"

Tao Mo was puzzled: "If you married Gu She, you would be my teacher's wife, how could I disobey you?"

"Oh!" Yang Liu'er almost wanted to knock off this piece of elm, "I mean, anyway, you and Senior Brother Gu can't get married, Senior Brother Gu will have heirs, and he still wants to marry a wife. Why don't we reconcile, we both Follow him, I will watch him at home, and you will watch him outside, so as not to have a third one!"

Tao Mo got up all of a sudden: "How could—ah!" His lower body was still under pressure, and he fell back to the ground heavily, "That's it!"

Yang Liu'er watched him fall back, and muttered, "Why not?"

Tao Mo asked: "How can you tolerate that your husband has someone else in his heart?"

After hearing this, Yang Liuer said dejectedly: "Actually, I couldn't bear it. I always wanted to be like my parents, looking for a husband who is happy and loving. But who made me like Senior Brother Gu? Who made me feel only Him? Since I met him two years ago, I feel that I have become extremely humble! I have done everything a girl should do and should not do, but he still treats me as if he is away. Every time I am discouraged, I feel that he must not want to marry me Now, he came to treat me again; I thought he was interested in me, but he ignored me again. I—" Her tears rolled down again, and she finally stopped worrying about her image, and started not turning her head, in front of Tao Mo Blow your nose on your sleeve.

Tao Mo sighed, "I understand you."

With hope shining in Yang Liuer's eyes, she crawled back in front of Tao Mo, knelt down and looked into his eyes: "You agreed?"

"Promise what?"

Yang Liu'er shyly said, "Serve Senior Brother Gu with me!"

"No." Tao Mo shook his head, "I understand you and understand you, but I won't do like you. Although Gu She is like the brilliance of the moon, I am like a fluorescent light, but if he can't treat me wholeheartedly, I won't do it. It won't be nice to him."

The light in Yang Liu'er's eyes gradually faded, and she crawled to help Tao Mo move the adobe again: "You don't care for him as much as I do for him."

Tao Mo whispered, "Maybe it is!"

"Then if he treats you with all his heart, what do you plan to let him do in the future? If he doesn't marry for life, he will hang out with you so secretly?"

Tao Mo said blankly, "I don't know either. But I think there must be a way."

Er Taomo said again: "Don't be discouraged, in fact, he is frank with me, he doesn't even know that I like him."

Yang Liuer sneered: "You idiot, I can already see it, Brother Gu is so smart, how can he not know?"

Tao Mo's face was on fire, he completely forgot that he was still under the adobe wall at this moment, he only thought about how Gu She could get along with him like a normal person when he knew that he liked him? When getting along, how do you see yourself in your heart

Yang Liu'er suddenly let out a scream. Tao Mo turned his head anxiously: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Yang Liu'er had a straw stuck in her finger, and it happened to get stuck between the tip of her finger, between the nail and the flesh. She twitched from the pain, and blood dripped down.

Tao Mo said anxiously: "Ten fingers connected to the heart, this is very painful. You go! There are not many adobes left, I can support it."

Yang Liu'er gritted her teeth, grabbed the straw with the other hand, put the injured finger into her mouth, and continued to move the adobe with the other hand.

She couldn't move one hand, but her injured hand came up to move it together. While moving, he said: "You shouldn't let the maids and servants stay in the carriage. After all, they are my people, and their words are still strict."

Tao Mo said: "Since it won't help the matter, don't regret it. You go away! I've been away for too long, I'm afraid Gu She will find me."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Gu Xiaojia's voice was heard: "Master Tao! Master Tao!"

The sound is getting closer.

Yang Liuer's expression changed, and Tao Mo pushed her lightly.

Yang Liu'er stood up, brushed her sweaty and disheveled hair with bloody hands, glanced at Tao Mo, turned and ran away.
