Chapter 77: Lily 6

Views:

Today's emperor is particularly easy to serve, Master Jin suggested to take a look at the newly built waterways and flood ponds, the emperor took advantage of the cool morning and went for a walk with Tao Mo.

Considerately put Tao Mo back to the mansion for a lunch break, and then met with Lin Zhengyong and other senior ministers in the afternoon.

Before the twilight came up, let Tao Mo go home.

Gu She was already gentle in the bridal chamber yesterday morning, and he had a good rest last night, and he was not tired today, so Tao Mo and Gu She had dinner in the flower hall, and Yuan Aucai, Ji Wudi, and old Tao sat at their table, not allowing Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi to serve him , put them at another table.

Ji Wudi bit his chopsticks and looked at Tao Mo. Tao Mo was puzzled: "Master Ji?"

Ji Wudi turned his head and tugged at Yuan Aozec: "Tao Mo has already seen the emperor, I also want to see what the emperor looks like?"

Yuan Aocai immediately looked at Tao Mo.

Tao Mo thought for a while: "Shall I tell the emperor tomorrow?"

Ji Wudi curled his lips: "I don't want to meet him formally! Our Brilliant Sect and the imperial court are at odds!"

Tao Mo was stumped.

Gu She pondered: "Why don't you treat the emperor to a family dinner?"

Tao Mo reluctantly said, "Then don't you want to accompany me?"

Gu She smiled: "You say you are a fool, but you still don't admit it. Why don't you wait for him to come and have a look?"

After dinner, Tao Mo still wanted to discuss how to pick him up tomorrow, but Gu She said, "I'm not sure if the emperor will come or not!"

Tao Mo felt the same, so he went back to the room with Gu She.

As soon as he entered the room, Gu Xiaojia brought someone to deliver a bathtub.

Since Tao Mo heard Gu She say that he was a goblin last night, he no longer feels inferior to his figure, and in front of Gu She, he took off his clothes generously and went into the bath.

Gu She watched, his eyes changed, he dropped his bucket of water, walked over and lifted his foot into Tao Mo's bathtub.

"The String of Strings! What are you doing?"

Looking at Tao Mo's rejecting hands, Gu She looked innocently wronged: "I just want to take a bath with you."

Tao Mo looked at the expression that had never appeared on Gu She's face before, and felt unbelievable: "Xianzhi, why do I feel that you seem to be a different person after getting married?"

Gu She was startled, and then said confidently, "That's why you made me like this."

Tao Mo raised his forehead and had a headache: "How can this bucket of water wash two people?"

"How do you know you can't if you haven't tried it?"

As Gu She said, one foot had already stepped in.

Tao Mo was furious: "Xian Zhi!"

Gu She also stepped in with the other foot: "Look, you seem to be a different person after you got married. You used to be gentle, why did you ever yell like this?"

Tao Mo was speechless, and could only watch as Gu She sat in, the water in the bucket immediately overflowed, all over the floor.

Being hugged by Gu She, he struggled slightly in embarrassment, but Gu She hugged him even harder.

He was about to protest, but he heard Gu She's "hiss". He turned his head to see that Gu She frowned, obviously in great pain.

Tao Mo was anxious: "Xianzhi! What's wrong with you?"

Gu She frowned and said, "Don't move, I can't help it if I move."

Only then did Tao Mo realize that Gu She's body had changed.

"We..." Tao Mo felt that he couldn't speak, but he couldn't go on like this, "we'd better go to bed."

As soon as the words fell, Gu She stood up abruptly and came to pick him up.

"Wipe dry first."

Gu She wiped it randomly a few times, threw the towel away, and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Tao Mo eagerly, like a puppy waiting for its master to feed it.

As soon as Tao Mo came over, he was overwhelmed by him, and kissed overwhelmingly.

This is the second time for them, Gu She has the experience of the first time and is more handy. He was smart already, and his smartness was not limited to books. Tao Mo didn't even have time to react, so he was confused by him. He didn't know who he was, where he was, and what he was doing? At the beginning, there was still a little bit of clarity, but later on he went at Gu She's mercy.

When the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, Tao Mo was still in a daze. Gu She carried him into the bathtub just now, squatted down and cleaned him up.

He was frozen by the cold water, and then slowly opened his misty eyes wide.

Seen by his misty gaze, Gu She's heart trembled, and he actually wanted to fish him out and go back to bed.

Fortunately, his self-control has always been very good, so he immediately calmed down and coaxed: "Go and rinse in that bucket again."

Tao Mo looked at him: "You haven't washed yet."

"You wash first, and I will wash after you wash."

Tao Mo shook his head: "Then the water will be dirty."

"You've washed it all, just go and rinse it off."

"That's the water that has been rinsed. You love cleanliness, so you wash it first."

The two argued for a long time about who should wash first, and finally Gu She got annoyed and stood up abruptly: "You won't be obedient once you enter the door."

As soon as Gu She got annoyed with Tao Mo, she gave in. Even though she felt wronged, she obediently shut up and went over to scour him.

After returning to the bed, Tao Mo felt very lazy and didn't want to move.

After Gu She finished washing, he called someone to carry away the tub, and lay down too, playing with a strand of Tao Mo's hair in his hand.

"Dance text?"

"Um?"

"Dance text."

Tao Mo turned to look at him.

Gu She brought her hair up to her nose and sniffed, "Wu Wen."

Tao Mo moved towards him.

Gu She raised his arms to embrace him, and the two of them pressed their foreheads against each other, not moving.

On the summer night of April 27, the last quarter moon hangs in the sky, like a slightly turned corner of the mouth, but also like eyes with nightmare feet.

Needless to say, the next morning, Tao Mo went to see the emperor with the red seal on his neck again.

Seeing Tao Mo like this, the emperor couldn't help but twitch. Tao Mo was also a little embarrassed, after all, this has been like this for three consecutive days.

Fortunately, Eunuch Huang had a wink, and immediately asked Tao Mo if he had any plans for today

Tao Mo hurriedly opened his mouth to invite the emperor to a family banquet.

The emperor was obviously very surprised, but he agreed without asking any further questions.

Tao Mo went out immediately and asked Hao Guozi to tell Gu She to pick him up.

Back in the room, the emperor asked: "Is there any good scenery in Danyang?"

Tao Mo thought of the Dragon King Temple, and the beautiful scenery he saw while walking in the fields with Gu She on Qingming Day really impressed him deeply, so he led the emperor there.

After walking not far, Mr. Huang said: "Isn't this the way to Yinjiaba Yujia?".

Tao Mo also remembered that the emperor had been to Yinjiaba.

He couldn't help feeling ashamed: "This humble minister is too incompetent."

The emperor smiled and said: "It's okay, the last time I went to Yu's house, I didn't go to Dragon King Temple. Yu's house and Dragon King Temple are still different."

Tao Mo thanked the emperor gratefully: "The emperor is too wise."

With such a wise emperor, the country is governed well, and he is easy-going and tolerant. If you don't compete with him, it will be perfect.

However, no one is perfect, and generally speaking, the emperor is still a good emperor.

With Tao Mo's gratitude, the Dragon King Temple arrived.

Tao Mo was dumbfounded as soon as he got out of the car, the peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and plum blossoms all fell, the blue sky was cloudless, and the deep and shallow paddy fields all turned into a mirror, reflecting the dazzling sunlight.

Not to mention the beautiful scenery, I couldn't even open my eyes.

"this-"

Eunuch Huang suppressed a smile: "Dare to ask Mr. Tao, where is the beautiful scenery?"

Tao Mo said awkwardly: "It was really beautiful when I came to persuade farmers on Qingming."

The emperor got off the car, glanced at Tao Mo with a half-smile, and went into the Dragon King Temple, Tao Mo quickly followed.

The emperor turned around and asked, "Tao Aiqing, are you convicted?"

Tao Mo said with a guilty conscience, "I am guilty."

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "How should I punish you?"

Tao Mo dared not speak.

Entering the Dragon King Temple, the temple wishes to welcome you. Because the emperor and others were wearing ordinary clothes, Miao Zhu, who only knew one side of the county magistrate, greeted Tao Mo: "Lord Tao is here."

Tao Mo asked, "Why are you the only one?"

Miao Zhu said: "Everyday, there is only one little old man, sweeping and offering incense. There will be a festival, and believers will come to help."

When Tao Mo saw this situation, his head hurt even more, so he could only ask, "Is there a clean room? I can sit temporarily."

The emperor raised his hand to stop him: "No need, I just got off the carriage and don't want to go into the house anymore. Just explain it to me."

Tao Mo actually didn't know anything about this Dragon King Temple. Last time he came here, he only made a wish and wrote a red cloth note. After listening to the emperor's words, he looked to the temple for help.

Although Miao Zhu didn't know the origin of the emperor, he also saw that this person was noble, so he hurriedly said: "The murals in the small temple are excellent. This mural was painted by a passing painter in the year when the country was founded. How many talents are there in Danyang? Everyone praises it!"

The emperor and Tao Mo went to look at it, and Tao Mo was fascinated when he saw the Avalokitesvara. The Avalokitesvara was wearing a light gauze, and the white gauze fluttered in the wind, as if alive.

Seeing Tao Mo's infatuation and silence, the emperor put his arms around Tao Mo's shoulders: "How is Xian Zhi's painting better than this?"

Tao Mo was like waking up from a dream, he hurriedly turned around and bowed his waist: "The wind gods are different, they cannot be compared."

The emperor put down his hand embarrassingly, and said with a cold snort: "People in the world believe in gods and Buddhas, can gods and Buddhas really protect the world?"

Tao Mo said: "People who have no power to control their own destiny will always hope that there will be gods and mercy in this world."

"how about you?"

Tao Mo hesitated and said: "I don't believe it, but I hope to have it. Just like the wishing tree in the court, people say that if you write your wish on a red cloth strip and tie it to the branch, your wish will come true. If you don’t believe me, Wei Chen also wrote it.”

"Oh?" The emperor became interested, "Go and see."

When the two came under the tree, the emperor asked, "Which one did you write?"

Tao Mo found out the two that he had written and showed them to the emperor.

The emperor looked at it and laughed: "Interesting. You are an infatuated person who is loyal to the emperor and loves the people. Which one did Xianzhi write?"

"Xianzhi didn't write it, he didn't believe it."

"Xianzhi is my confidant. But today I want to be like you, even if I don't believe it, I still want to write."

Tao Mo hurriedly asked Miao Zhu who was guarding under the eaves, and Miao Zhu went to take out the leftover red cloth strips, and offered pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Tao Mo polished ink for the emperor, and waited for him to write, but unexpectedly the emperor said: "Go away, you are not allowed to read."

Tao Mo said blankly: "Huang—you always have to leave, the cloth is still here."

The emperor laughed angrily: "You can only see it after I leave."

Tao Mo let out an "Oh" and retreated to Miao Zhu's side.

Miao Zhu asked: "Master Tao, aren't you married to Mr. Gu? Who is this?"

Tao Mo glanced at the emperor, then at Eunuch Huang, seeing that they didn't want to show their whereabouts, so he could only say, "It's the boss."

Miao Zhu said "Oh" and stopped talking.

After the emperor finished writing, he asked for a ladder and hung it on a high branch.

Tao Mo supported the ladder and watched the emperor come down. There was the last step left, but the emperor missed his foot, and was about to fall, so Tao Mo quickly reached out to help.

Unexpectedly, someone was faster than him, rushed forward and hugged the emperor.

Tao Mo took a closer look, and it turned out to be Lao Miao Zhu! Surprised in his heart, he couldn't help but glanced at the head of the guards and the others, wondering if this old Miao Zhu also had special skills? Even faster than the emperor's chief guard!

But after Lao Miaozhu stood still, he still looked old-fashioned, so he was confused.

The emperor glanced at the old Miao Zhu: "The old man's hands and feet are so fast!"

Lao Miao Zhu Weiwei, hey, he didn't know what he was muttering about.

Tao Mo was afraid that his inability to speak clearly would offend the emperor, and he would turn the merit of saving him into a crime, so he hurriedly interrupted: "The incense in the temple is so deserted, how did you support it all these years?"

The old Miaozhu straightened his waist and said clearly: "Two or three festivals a year are enough for daily expenses. Besides, there is a big flood every ten years and a small flood every five years. The incense money saved is enough to repair the temple. "

"A big flood every ten years, a small flood every five years?" Tao Mo didn't understand, "What is it?"

"That is to say, the Yangtze River and the surrounding rivers have a major flood every ten years, with dams collapsing, houses washed away, and farmland flooded; there is a minor flood every five years, which is less harmful than the major flood. Every time here When planting, the people will come to the Dragon King Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, and the small temple will also receive incense money."

"The dam collapsed, the house was washed away, and the farmland was flooded? What about the person?"
