Tao Mo took a deep breath: "Okay."

Walking into the bedroom, I saw that the table was empty.

"Huh? Just—"

Old Tao walked in: "Master, what's the matter?"

"Old Tao, where are my parents' tablets?"

Old Tao said unhappily, "Master, are you going to let it go for a day? I've already accepted it."

Tao Mo said in a daze, "The green ball presented should not be cold yet."

Old Tao made a double entendre: "A person who has passed away is a dead person. The young master should look back and don't mention the past."

Tao Mo lowered his head.

Gu She didn't know where to go, but seeing that Tao Mo was in a bad mood, he said, "Why don't I accompany you to the field, today is the day for planting rice seedlings, and as the county magistrate, you should go and persuade the farmers."

Old Tao nodded and said, "That's right. Young master, why not take Miss An Ran and Miss Qiu along with you. Miss An Ran has been taking care of the young master since she came to Danyang, and never left the county office. Miss Qiu should relax when her family changes."

Gu She said: "Alright."

Old Tao looked at him in surprise, but he heard him say again: "The county lord goes down to the fields and brings his beautiful family with him, so he looks like a county lord."

Tao Mo looked at Lao Tao in embarrassment.

"..." Lao Tao swallowed hard and waved his hands.

Tao Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and peeked at Gu She.

Gu She turned and walked out, Tao Mo cast an apologetic look at Lao Tao, and chased him away.

Tao Mo likes this kind of time when the two of them are alone the most. Although Gu Xiaojia was sitting on the shaft of the car, there were only him and Gu She in the small carriage.

He didn't ask where he was going, and Gu She didn't say either.

Gu Xiaojia drove the carriage to Yinjiaba on his own initiative.

This fertile land belongs to the Yu family, and it is one of the most fertile lands in Danyang.

But the main reason why Gu Xiaojia drove the carriage here was because there was the Dragon King Temple here.

Every Qingming Festival, people come here first to pray for good weather, and then go to transplant rice seedlings.

When Tao Mo got off the carriage, he saw three horses tied up in front of the Dragon King Temple, and Hao Guozi was sitting on the steps beside the temple gate.

Before he recovered from the shock, Hao Guozi jumped up and ran over: "Master!"

"Guozi, how did you come here? Why are you earlier than me?"

"Old Tao brought me here on horseback! Go in quickly! There are a lot of people, if you don't go, everyone will go planting rice seedlings."

Tao Mo looked back at Gu She, Gu She stepped forward, grabbed Tao Mo's wrist, and dragged him into the temple gate.

Tao Mo felt worried, wondering why Gu She was unhappy again.

There were a lot of people worshiping the Dragon King in the temple, but Gu She had a very strong aura of coldness, and everyone avoided him wherever he went.

"Let's go, Mr. Gu is here."

"Go, don't provoke Mr. Gu."

No one was afraid of Tao Mo.

An Ran and Qiu Shui are under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, writing something on a piece of red cloth. Seeing Tao Mo coming, Qiu Shuining even made a face at him.

Gu She flicked Tao Mo forward lightly, Tao Mo was puzzled.

"Go to worship."

Tao Mo bowed obediently, moved his lips slightly, and talked for a long time, but couldn't hear what he said.

After he stood up, Gu She asked, "What did you ask for?"

"I ask the Dragon King to bless Danyang with good weather and abundant crops this year; I ask the Dragon King to bless Danyang with no closed doors at night and no pick-ups on the road; I also ask the Dragon King to bless Danyang with good people in power and no bad people; I also..."

"Okay." Gu She interrupted him.

Tao Mo stopped resentfully, he actually begged the Dragon King to bless everyone around him, including Gu She, to be healthy and safe, but Gu She didn't give him a chance to speak out.

The common people were moved, one took the lead and knelt down, and the others knelt down: "Master Tao is really the master of Qingtian!"

"Master Tao has made so many wishes, but none of them are for himself. He is truly selfless."

Tao Mo was so embarrassed that he hurried to help him up: "I'm not as good as you said."

Gu She said lightly: "You are already fine."

"This—" Although it was embarrassing, being praised by Gu She still made Tao Mo's heart jump with joy.

"Walk!"

Gu She pulled Tao Mo and was about to leave the Dragon King Temple.

"Hey! Tao Mo!" Qiu Shuining called him.

While looking back, Tao Mo was pulled away by Gu She involuntarily.

Qiu Shuining caught up: "Would you like to write your wish on a red cloth and tie it to that tree, they say it is very spiritual!"

Tao Mo just looked at Gu She.

Gu She didn't speak, turned his head and walked under the tree again.

An Ran has written it and is hanging it on the tree. Tao Mo asked, "What did you write?"

An Ran blushed: "You want to care?!"

Tao Mo felt inexplicable again, there were too many inexplicable things today.

Qiu Shuining showed Tao Mo his red cloth strip, which read "Catch the real murderer and avenge him".

Tao Mo brought back two red cloth strips from Miaozhu, and handed one to Gu She.

Gu She refused to answer: "I don't believe this."

Tao Mo blushed, wondering if he thought I was ignorant

But the red cloth had already been brought back, and he remembered that there was another person—Old Tao.

"Where's Lao Tao?"

Qiu Shuining looked around: "I don't know."

Tao Mo wrote on one red cloth strip: "Danyang people live and work in peace and contentment", and on another red cloth strip: "Lovers will eventually get married."

Gu She looked at what he wrote, frowned and said, "Whether lovers get married or not is a matter of lovers. They are lovers, and if they don't get married by themselves, do they still wait for others to help?"

Tao Mo mumbled: "There are always parents who object, or... or like yesterday Li Yuan and Mrs. Lin."

Gu She scoffed: "If I were Li Yuan, if Kuang Dong didn't reconcile with Mrs. Lin, I would directly disclose his and Zhao Rui's affairs to the public. If Kuang Dong didn't agree, at worst, he would bring Mrs. Lin along." The wife and the youngest son are leaving, who can bear to look at Kuang Dongyi's face? To be able to kill the second child by Kuang Dongyi is simply extremely incompetent!"

Tao Mo looked around and saw that everyone was far away from them, so he whispered: "If men and men can get married, will Kuang Dongyi and Zhao Rui not get married?"

Gu She sneered: "Where did that child come from? They still have to carry on the family line, so as not to cut off the incense!"

"You can adopt or adopt!"

Gu She sighed lightly: "If everyone in the world was like you, there would be no such grievances."

Qiu Shuining listened dazedly for a long time, then suddenly interrupted: "I think Gu She is right. If it were me, who dare not let me marry the person I love, I will stab him with a sword!"

An Ran suddenly smiled and said, "Where is your beloved?"

Qiu Shuining was stunned, her face turned red suddenly, and she pushed An Ran: "Sister!"

An Ran smiled and said: "I see, your beloved is Gu She. Gu She is handsome and rare in the world. You praised him like that just now, you must be pleased with him."

Qiu Shui paused and said, "Where is it?! How can this ice cube be as cute as Tao Mo?!"

Tao Mo suddenly heard Qiu Shuining praise him for being cute, he was taken aback, before he could react, he was dragged away by Gu She.

Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi were sitting together and were knocking melon seeds. When they saw Gu She and Tao Mo coming out, they hurriedly stuffed the melon seeds into Hao Guozi's hand and chased after them.

Tao Mo felt uneasy. Gu She has been unhappy since he arrived at the Dragon King Temple, and he is especially unhappy now. He doesn't know what to do.

When he got to the carriage, Gu She looked back at him. Tao Mo was so nervous that he didn't know how to move his hands and feet. After Gu She took a look at him, his expression inexplicably eased up, and his voice returned to the gentleness of the past: "Let's go for a walk in the fields."

Seeing that his expression was relaxed, Tao Mo felt relieved. He also knew that Gu She's temper came and went quickly these days, and now that he is in this state, most of his anger has dissipated. But he was also somewhat nostalgic for the feeling of Gu She holding his wrist, wishing he would still hold it.

Gu Xiaojia ran over and untied the horse's reins, but saw Gu She turned around and walked towards the field. The path in the field was narrow enough for only one person to walk, and he couldn't drive a carriage. He scratched his head wonderingly, tied the horse again, and ran back to sit with Hao Guozi.

Hao Guozi was eating melon seeds, while looking at Tao Mo Gu She's back: "Your son really ate my young master to death."

Gu Xiaojia opened the belt pocket on his waist and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from inside: "Who said it wasn't!"

Hao Guozi went to grab the melon seeds in his hand: "Give it back to me!"

Gu Xiaojia was caught off guard, and he snatched most of the melon seeds back, and scattered the rest on the ground.

He was taken aback for a moment, jumped up and shouted, "What's none of my business?"

Hao Guozi ignored him and just continued to crack the melon seeds.

Gu Xiaojia resentfully walked a little further away and sat down, only to see Hao Guozi knocking faster and faster.

He stared blankly at Hao Guozi, and gradually felt something was wrong. "Guozi." He stood up and wanted to get closer, but Hao Guozi suddenly buried his head in his lap and shrugged his shoulders.

He walked over and sat down, only to hear Hao Guozi's low sobs.

Gu Xiaojia was at a loss, and after thinking for a long time, he took out the handkerchief and stuffed it into Hao Guozi's hand. The melon seeds in Hao Guozi's hand were stuffed into the handkerchief and scattered all over the ground.

"Brother Jia."

"Um?"

Hao Guozi's nasal voice buzzed: "Does it mean that if you like someone, you will become humble? I dare not tell him, I always feel that I am not good enough for him, and I only want him well?"

Gu Xiaojia's heart was struck by lightning. He turned his head to look at Gu Shetao Mo's back, and said after a while, "Yes!"

The field of Qingming is full of spring. The paddy fields are deep and shallow green, dotted with misty powder of peaches and apricots, against the blue sky and white clouds, which is already refreshing, and all these are reflected in the paddy fields, Meilun Beautiful like a fairyland. Tao Mo looked at this fairyland-like spring scenery, and then looked at the fairy-like Gu She beside him, and suddenly felt very satisfied.

On the narrow path, there are only him and Gu She. Time like this, slow down, slow down, slow down again.

Gu She stopped suddenly and turned around, Tao Mo was in a daze, and accidentally bumped into Gu She.

Cheek brushed against cheek, Tao Mo's face burned like fire.

Gu She didn't mean to be shy, but said solemnly: "I have something to tell you."

Seeing that he was too solemn, Tao Mo couldn't help guessing wildly, the fire that had just burned on his face was extinguished, leaving only the whiteness of ashes.

Gu She said solemnly: "If I decide to be nice to someone, I will only be nice to that one person wholeheartedly."

Tao Mo's heart skipped a beat, and then slowly recovered, his heart was filled with surprise. Before that, he had been worried that Gu She would be like what Yang Liuer said: Marrying Yang Liuer, but still clinging to him and not letting go. Because Gu She still didn't have a clear attitude.

But since he said this, even if he chose Yang Liuer, Tao Mo would be willing.

Gu She looked at Tao Mo's face with changing colors: "Let's go back! It's time to investigate the case of exterminating the family in the Kuang Mansion."

"?" Tao Mo was puzzled, hadn't he been checking it all the time

Back in front of the Dragon King Temple, Gu She asked Hao Guozi to go in and call Lao Tao and the others.

Lao Tao came out soon, with a worried expression on his face.

Gu She said: "Go back to the county government office and investigate the case."

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Shuining had already got on the horse.

A group of people returned to the county office like lightning, Gu She: "Teach Lu Zhenxue, mention Hao Yi and Kuang Si."
