20. Misfortunes do not come singly (2)
When Lao Tao learned that Tao Mo had returned from Gu She, he immediately came to inquire.
Tao Mo then told him about what happened today.
After hearing this, Lao Tao said in a breath: "This ending is not bad."
Tao Mo widened his eyes and said, "Isn't the lives of two people bad? Mr. Tong, Mrs. Tong, is a white-haired man who sends black-haired man, and it's even more miserable."
Lao Tao smiled dryly and said, "What the young master said is."
Tao Mo thought for a while and said, "But Gu She's opinion is similar to yours."
Lao Tao said: "Young Master is praising me?"
Tao Mo said in a daze: "Where?"
"Gu She is a master of Master Yishe. She is famous in Tanyang County. I can have a similar view to him. Wouldn't it be a borrowed light?"
"In my heart, Lao Tao is also amazing." Tao Mo said sincerely. Lao Tao did a lot of things quietly. Even if he never said it, it did not mean that he didn't know it. He knew the hard work he put in behind these things.
Lao Tao showed relief, "Does these two cases be said to be minor or serious? Even if the truth is revealed, the young master should be cautious when judging the case. Remember to take into account the face of Tong's mansion."
"Face?" Tao Mo was stunned and then woke up, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let Miss Tong and Cai Fengyuan spread." This was not the business of others, so why bother to gossip. He just went to Mr. Yidhi's mansion and rumors spread everywhere. If this matter really spreads, wouldn't it make Miss Tong feel uneasy underground?
He pondered for a while. Why not handle these two cases? Anyway, outsiders didn't know the relationship between Cai Fengyuan and Miss Tong, and the Tong family would naturally cover the matter tightly and would never spread it.
He looked at Lao Tao and was about to express his thoughts, but then he remembered the date with Gu She tomorrow, and immediately swallowed it back and said vaguely: "I have to consider this matter."
Old Tao smiled and said, "This is natural. The young master thought slowly, I'll go to the kitchen first."
"Okay." After he left, Tao Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He and Gu Shen didn't say much, maybe he could say a few more words.
I spent the night and half a day waiting.
After noon, Hao Guozi went back and forth between the gate and the study.
When Shen arrived, Tao Mo couldn't hold on to his butt and stood in the yard and looked in the direction of the gate.
Seeing that he was standing alone, Hao Guozi was afraid that he would be tired, and said, "I don't know when Mr. Gu will come. Young Master, why not sit in the yard and make a pot of tea and wait slowly?"
"Wait slowly? I'm so anxious, how can I be slow?" Tao Mo scratched his head.
Seeing this, Hao Guozi shook his head, "Young Master, you won't be able to do this. You will be eaten by Mr. Gu in the future and you will not be able to turn over."
Tao Mo muttered: "He is smarter than me."
"Although that's the case, you can't act so obviously." Hao Guozi saw that he couldn't listen, and changed his words and advised him, "If you follow Mr. Gu in everything, Mr. Gu will find the young master bored."
"Born? Will it be?" Tao Mo was really worried.
Seeing that he was being told, Hao Guozi nodded repeatedly and said, "Young Master Gu is hard to say."
"But last time I refuted him, he didn't look happy."
Hao Guozi widened his eyes, "Young Master refuted him?"
Tao Mo was very upset, "I didn't mean it."
"Haha..." Hao Guozi stroked his palm and said, "Young Master is doing a good job. Don't worry, Mr. Gu has always been happy and angry. Even if he is happy, it is difficult to see."
Tao Mo hesitated and said, "Is that happy?"
"It's happy, it's happy." Hao Guozi said, "So the young master must not be polite to him."
Although Tao Mo felt something was wrong, he couldn't say what was wrong.
Hao Guozi turned around and jumped towards the door again, "I'll go and see if he's here."
Tao Mowu thought for a moment and suddenly said to himself: "He didn't see Gu She's expression at that time, how do you know he was happy?"
A few moments.
Hao Guozi walked in slowly.
Tao Mo said disappointedly: "Have you arrived yet?"
"No, it's already here." Hao Guozi still acted very leisurely.
Tao Mo was stunned for a moment, rushed out, but was stopped by Hao Guozi.
"What are you doing?" he said in shock.
Hao Guozi said: "Last time I went to see him on behalf of the young master, he put on airs for a long time. This time he came to the door, so the young master should not be too anxious."
"But, I'm really anxious." Tao Mo pried open his fingers and ran away without a trace.
Hao Guozi sighed, turned around and walked slowly to chase after him. When he arrived at the door, he saw the carriage that Gu She was dragging his shadow, turning his wheels and leaving.
"Young Master!" he shouted.
A head suddenly stretched out from the shaft of the car. Gu Xiaojia made him a pig's nose.
Hao Guozi stamped her feet in anger.
Tao Mo sat in the car, thinking absent-mindedly about Hao Guozi's previous words. Since he met Gu She, he rarely listened to Gu She. Could it be that he really felt so taciturn because he thought he was too boring?
"What are you thinking?" Gu She asked casually.
"You." Tao Mo answered honestly.
Gu She raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"
Tao Mo said: "I think about what I should say so I won't be bored."
Gu She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "When did I say you were bored?"
Tao Mo's eyes lit up.
Gu She continued lightly again, "But I never said you were interesting."
Tao Mo said blankly: "Is that interesting or boring?"
"Maybe," Gu She smiled, "It's between the two."
Tao Mo seemed even more confused.
Gu She opened the topic and said, "How do you plan to settle Cai Fengyuan's case?"
Tao Mo said: "No matter whether he committed suicide or not, he would jump into the river and commit suicide, and he would not blame others."
Gu Shedao: "He died as if he was dead."
Tao Mo suddenly felt unsure, wondering whether he should refute "interestingly" or "uninterestingly" silent. He lifted up the curtains and looked at the scenery outside the window. Seeing that the streets were becoming more and more familiar, he couldn't help asking, "Let's go to Tong's Mansion?"
Gu Shedao: "Not bad."
Tao Mo tentatively said: "For Cai Fengyuan's case?"
"no."
"That's... Miss Tong's case?"
Gu Shedao: "That's OK."
Tao Mo was still asking, but Gu She cut it off and said, "Are you thirsty?"
"A little." Tao Mo looked at him with a gaze.
But Gu She did not make tea as he expected, "Since that's the case, save some water."
Save some water?
Tao Mo was worried about this sentence all the way. When the car arrived at the gate of Tong Mansion, he had an idea. He realized that Gu She's words "Save some water" were equivalent to "shut up", and he couldn't help but blush.
Gu Xiaojia saw Tao Mo getting out of the car with a red face and looked at Gu She with confusion, "Young Master, are you..."
Gu She looked back at him indifferently.
"...It's okay." Gu Xiaojia turned his head and knocked on the door.
The concierge of Tong's mansion was no longer surprised by their visit every now and then, he hurried in and reported it and led them in.
Near the hall, you can see a young woman present with the Tong couple.
Although the three of them sat opposite each other, they were silent.
Gu Xi took the lead in getting into the threshold.
When the young woman saw him, her solemn face calmed down slightly, and she nodded and said, "Senior Brother Gu."
Mr. Tong woke up as if he was in a dream and stood up and said, "Mr. Gu, Lord Tao."
The young woman looked at Tao Mo and said in surprise: "Can this be the new county magistrate?"
Tao Mo said: "That's right."
The young woman said: "I am Yang weeping willow. My father Yang Huiyi."
Seeing that Tao Mo had no response, Gu She explained: "The daughter of the family teacher."
Tao Mo said in surprise: "In addition to Mr. Yishun, do you have another famous teacher?"
The young woman was stunned, and a smile suddenly gathered in her eyes, "My father's surname is Yang and his name is Chuiyi, and his nickname is Mr. Yichu."
Tao Mo was so embarrassed that he was ashamed.
Gu She asked the young woman, "Why are you here?"
The young woman looked at Mrs. Tong, "I'm about to ask my aunt for advice."
Mrs. Tong's face turned pale.
Mr. Tong waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about this later."
The young woman said: "It is rare that senior brother and Lord Tao are present, and some things can be explained clearly and clearly. What are you saying? Aunt?"
Mrs. Tong said nothing.
Mr. Tong lowered his face and said, "I will explain this matter later."
The young woman narrowed her eyes and said, "I have always had rules in Tanyang County. If I encounter disputes that cannot be distinguished, I can leave them to the litigator for judgment. Otherwise, I will submit them to the government according to the laws and regulations of our court."
When Tao Mo heard the word "official" and felt slightly excited.
