Hao Guozi said uncomfortably, "Old Tao."
"You have taken good care of the young master these days, and the young master has flesh on his face."
"I—" Hao Guozi didn't want to say it at first, but after thinking that he couldn't hide it from Lao Tao, he said it truthfully, "It's all thanks to Gu She. He brings a can of supplements to him every day. When you came back yesterday, young master I drank it all, so you didn't see it."
"Oh?" Old Tao obviously didn't expect it, "The clothes on the young master are new?"
"It was sent by Gu She."
Lao Tao frowned: "The young master has always been very sensible, why don't you put away other people's gifts?"
"You haven't met Gu She before, he's really amazing!" Hao Guozi got off the hook, and told the story of the time Gu She invited Tao Mo for an outing, "Young Master, if you can't say it, Gu She will just say it." Asked if there was something wrong with the county government. The young master said yes, Gu She said that he was with the young master, and then sat in the study and watched the young master work. Anyway, I have to go if I don’t go, I have to go. The clothes are the third body, When I gave the first one away, I pretended to stain the young master's clothes, so I paid for it. The latter two clothes don't even make an excuse, and I gave it to the young master directly, and I have to accept it if I don't want it!"
Old Tao was surprised: "Why is he so kind to the young master?"
Hao Guozi rolled his eyes: "I don't know either. Why don't you take a look for yourself these few days?"
Old Tao looked at him suspiciously: "Will he have any thoughts about the young master?"
Hao Guozi shook her head: "I don't know. Sometimes I guess like this, but I don't think it's like it; when I don't think it's not like it, I think it looks like it again."
Old Tao said sternly: "Whether it is or not, since there are some resemblances, you should persuade the young master to stay away from him! How can you make the young master drink the tonic and wear the clothes he sent every day?!"
Hao Guozi shrank her neck: "It's not far, but Gu She always has a reason to let the young master accept it. If you have the ability, you can tell the young master not to drink the tonic that Gu She sent tomorrow. Besides, the young master wants to investigate the case of Kuangfu. When shooting."
Lao Tao was silent for a while. Just when Hao Guozi thought that Lao Tao had finished asking, and was about to lie down and rest, Lao Tao asked again: "Who is that Sun Kuan?"
Hao Guozi was puzzled: "Which Sun Kuan?"
"It's that Sun Kuan who came to see Gu She in the morning."
Hao Guozi shook his head: "I don't see him, I don't know him. What is he looking for with Gu She?"
"I haven't seen it either, I just heard the young master tell Gu She that Sun Kuan asked him to bring a message to Gu She."
"What are you talking about?" Hao Guozi's eyes lit up, "Let's listen to it."
"Although he likes Yang Liu'er, he never dares to poach Gu She's corner."
"Oh!" Hao Guozi rolled his eyes, "Every time I think that Gu She is interested in the young master, I will find that he seems to be interested in Yang Liuer. Or how can I say that it looks like it and doesn't look like it?"
Old Tao narrowed his eyes: "This way..."
"Master Tao! Mr. Gu is here!"
When the yamen servant shouted, Tao Mo hurriedly put down the bowl and grabbed a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
As soon as he stood up, Gu She had already entered, followed by Gu Xiaojia with a clay pot in his hand.
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere at the table of five, Gu She narrowed his eyes: "There are many people today."
Tao Mo hurriedly straightened the chair for him to sit down: "Well, for 48 days a few days ago, Guozi and I ate together, it was so deserted! Now that Lao Tao is back, Miss An Ran and Miss Kuang are added. So lively!"
Gu She looked at Tao Mo: "It seems that you are recovering well, you don't need a stick today."
Tao Mo raised his hands and kicked his feet, and turned around again: "Okay! I took another Huayun Pill yesterday, and it's completely cured!"
Seeing him happy, Gu She couldn't help but also smiled: "Why did you eat breakfast so late today? I'm afraid you won't be able to drink the soup after eating."
Tao Mo said: "Miss Kuang and Miss An Ran just came back from practice, so it's late."
Kuang Shuining asked: "What soup?" He stretched his neck to look in Gu Xiaojia's hands.
Tao Mo said: "Guozi, go to the kitchen and get some more bowls. Everyone should try the soup that Gu She brought. It's so delicious! It's delicious every time."
Hao Guozi could not help but look at Gu She.
Lao Tao pretended to be eating, covered his face with a porridge bowl, and watched Gu She from the edge of the bowl.
Tao Mo didn't realize it: "Hurry up!"
Kuang Shuining snatched the bowl from Gu Xiaojia's hand: "Then wait for the fruit, I'll drink this bowl first!"
Gu Xiaojia was caught off guard, and the soup bowl was snatched away by her, and her face turned blue: "Why are you like this? This bowl belongs to Master Tao!"
Kuang Shuicing said: "Isn't it the same to pour him another bowl?"
Where is Gu Xiaojia willing? "Give it back to me!"
Kuang Shuining held the bowl with one hand, and swung him away with the other, Gu Xiaojia immediately spun around a few times. When he stopped, he felt dizzy and couldn't help reaching out to hold something.
Tao Mo supported him: "I'm sorry, Brother Jia. Are you okay?"
Gu Xiaojia looked at Gu She worriedly, and seeing Gu She frown tightly, he couldn't help but groan in his heart, and murmured, "It's okay."
Hao Guozi brought bowls and poured a bowl for everyone, because Hao Guozi knew in her heart that the tonics that Gu She brought were basically two bowls, and the extra bowl was to prevent spills on the road, not too much .
In this way, although Kuang Shuining had already drank a few spoonfuls of the bowl in his hand, it was still more than others.
Now Kuang Shuining also felt embarrassed, looked at Gu She secretly, and said to Tao Mo: "Lord Tao, I'm sorry."
Tao Mo scratched his head: "I don't blame you, it's because I didn't arrange it."
Turning around slowly, he tilted his head to look at Gu She, with a worried but cautious smile on his face.
Gu She's face was already livid, but when he saw him making a fuss, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly turned around: "The soup is getting cold!"
Seeing that he didn't have a seizure, Tao Mo felt relieved, and quickly nodded obediently: "Yes, just drink!"
Lao Tao poured the soup from his own bowl into Tao Mo's bowl, and Hao Guozi quickly followed suit.
Kuang Shuining said in a low voice, "I—I've already drank it."
An Ran laughed and said, "Sisters and sisters, what do you care if they drink a bowl of soup from him? Just ignore him!" She drank it all in one gulp.
Gu She saw that Tao Mo had also finished drinking, and only Kuang Shuining was still drinking the soup, and said leisurely: "This is a tonic prescription that I prescribed for Tao Mo's physique after taking Tao Mo's pulse, and it is most suitable for men. The girl drank it, and there is nothing wrong with it, except that she will grow a little beard."
"Pfft!" Kuang Shuining spewed out the mouthful of soup that he had just put into his mouth, and all the dishes on the table were poisoned.
Lao Tao, who was sitting opposite her, waved his sleeves, put the soup in his sleeves, and then looked at his own mottled sleeves.
"How much is one tael of silver for this tea?"
Lao Tao looked at the Mingqian Longjing in the purple clay pot.
"Gu She brought it himself, I just brewed it for him."
Old Tao watched Tao Mo making tea calmly, and felt that watching Tao Mo making tea was a kind of enjoyment, and looked at Gu She who had been watching Tao Mo with some understanding.
Gu Sheruo didn't notice anything, just looked at Tao Mo with his chin resting. The sunlight came in from the window, and cast bright and dark shades on his face, every line of light and shadow was impeccable, like a fairy relegated to the mortal world.
After a while, Tao Mo handed over the tea, and Gu She took it lightly. Lao Tao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the eyes of the two separated immediately and there was no intersection.
While tasting tea, Master Jin came in, cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Gu."
Gu She nodded.
Master Jin didn't talk too much, and sat directly behind the case, and it seemed that he was used to Gu She's coming.
Lao Tao couldn't help but raise his heart again.
But before he got entangled, the yamen servant came to report: "My lord, Li Yuan is here to get the plaque, and wants to pay homage to Kuang Dong and his wife."
"Li Yuan?!"
Master Gu Shetao Mojin was very surprised. Although Li Yuan and Kuang Dongyi are senior brothers, they are also jealous of each other, and their relationship is very tense. After Kuang Dong's death, Master Jin even suspected that Li Yuan hired a murderer to kill him.
Gu She stood up: "Looks like there's something to watch."
The Yizhuang, where 37 sloughs of the Kuang Mansion are stored, is guarded by government servants. Although Wu Zuo had been treated with anti-corrosion treatment, there was still a bad smell in the Yizhuang.
With ginger slices in their mouths and thick cloth towels covering their mouths and noses, Gu She and Tao Mo were still gagging.
Li Yuan was silent all the way, and when he entered Yizhuang, he raised his head, his eyes searched anxiously.
The yamen servant led him to Kuangdong's coffin, and he shed tears and called, "Senior brother!"
After crying for a while, he asked again, "Where are the coffins of Mrs. Sister-in-law and Nephew Aishan? The villain also wants to see."
The yamen servant led him there again, and he cried for a long time at Mrs. Kuang's coffin, and still hugged Kuang Aishan's small coffin. In the end, Gu She saw that Tao Mo was about to faint, so he winked at the yamen servant, and the yamen servant dragged him away. .
After leaving Yizhuang, Li Yuan knelt down with a thud: "Master Tao, please arrest the real culprit and avenge the brother's family!"
Tao Mo quickly helped him up: "Of course."
Gu She said: "You are also the younger brother of the deceased after all, so go to the county government office to chat with Mr. Tao, maybe it will inspire Mr. Tao to solve the case."
Li Yuan was startled, and then agreed.
After sitting down, Gu She told Gu Xiaojia: "Grind the ink for Master."
Master Jin is a genius, he immediately stopped Gu Xiaojia and said, "I will do it myself."
While speaking, he took out the paper for recording.
Li Yuan wiped his tears and said: "I don't know if the adults have anything to ask the villain, but the villain knows everything and can say everything."
Gu She asked: "What is the affair between you and Mrs. Kuang?"
One word startled the whole house.
Li Yuan was startled: "Young Master Gu, these words are not nonsense!"
Tao Mo frowned and said, "But I think what Gu She said is reasonable! Look at you standing in front of your senior brother's coffin, just crying, not very sad; in front of Mrs. Kuang's coffin, you were heartbroken; in the end you hugged Kuang Aishan The coffin is already crying to the point of darkness."
Li Yuan was stunned for a while, then lowered his head, and said bitterly: "Aishan is my child."
"Bang!" The door was knocked open, and Kuang Shuining stood at the door holding a shining sword.
"You shameless person! My stepmother is dead, how can you insult her innocence?!"
"Mother-in-law?!" Master Jin asked, "Didn't you say that the Kuang couple are your biological parents?"
Kuang Shuining ignored him, but just stared at Li Yuan with hatred, his chest heaved and fell, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to gush out at any time.
Li Yuan looked up at her, quietly said: "Lin Xi is the love of my life, why should I insult her innocence? She and Kuang Dongyi are just a couple in name, and they really love each other with me!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Kuang Shuining screamed, and the tip of the sword came straight to Li Yuan's heart.
But she didn't stab in because Tao Mo stood in front of Li Yuan.
"Miss Shuining, I don't know what your last name is, so let's call you Miss Shuining for now! Since Mrs. Kuang is your adoptive mother, don't you want to avenge her? Now that you killed Li Yuan, I'm afraid it will be beneficial to solve the case." That's where the trail ends."
Kuang Shuining bit her lip and shivered for a long time before withdrawing the tip of the sword from Tao Mo's body.
Li Yuan said dreamily, "I'm not talking nonsense."
"I worshiped as a teacher when I was 10 years old. At that time, the master had just resigned as an imperial physician and returned to Danyang, and wanted to find someone who could inherit the mantle. He looked at several children and was dissatisfied, and finally met me. .
I studied with the master for six years, from a child to a teenager, it was the time when I first fell in love, but I felt that none of the girls in Danyang liked me.
I have always wanted to find a beautiful and gentle wife. My family members said that where is there such a good girl in the world? Even if there is, you are not worthy of it!
But I never give up.
My parents thought I was still young and would not be so stubborn when I grew up, so they ignored me.
Then I met Lin Xi.
She is really what I imagined, beautiful and gentle.
But she is already my brother's wife.
At that time, Senior Brother Kuang had just resigned as an imperial physician and came to Danyang to join Master. Unexpectedly, the master was unwilling to take care of him and asked him to buy a house and land and open a medical clinic by himself, saying that he was too old to take care of his two apprentices.
It was only later that I found out that there was a relationship between Master and him.
But I don't care, I still often go to Brother Kuang's mansion, just to see the most perfect woman in my mind.
But she has been avoiding me, only when Senior Brother Kuang is around, she will stay with me for a while.
I thought to myself: She must know my thoughts, right? That's why it's like this.
Seeing that there are really people like her in this world, I look down on those girls in Danyang even more. My parents watched me grow up day by day, and my heart became more and more anxious.
But I don't want anyone, as long as I can see her.
Brother Kuang was nice to me, he wanted to find out what else Master didn't teach him, I know.
But I don't care, as long as he still lets me go to his house and let me see Lin Xi.
I watched her like this for ten years, from the age of sixteen to twenty-six, and saw that girls of the same age were all married.
I thought I would spend my whole life watching from a distance like this, but I didn't expect that one day, I would really get her.
That day was Brother Kuang's 36th birthday. As long as it wasn't a full birthday, he usually spent it with his good friend Zhao Rui. But that day he asked me to drink alone with me in the garden of his mansion.
After drinking a few cups, he said that he had used a hot spring at home, and it was very comfortable to soak in. He told me to go first, and he went to get me clothes.
I believed it was true, so I went, but Lin Xi was soaking in the pond.
I—I didn't hold back, and Lin Xi didn't resist either. "
