38, intricately (two)(1/2)
He put on his clothes tightly, Tao Mo stood outside, watching Gu Xiaojia go in and out with a basin to serve Gu She, hesitating how to go in and say goodbye to Gu She, and then hesitated that a servant called Gu Xiaojia softly outside.
Gu Xiaojia is almost all the affairs of Gu's family, and Gu Xiaojia only does what he wants to do. Therefore, Gu She and Gu Xiaojia feel ordinary about such behaviors that seem to be overwhelming to outsiders.
Gu Xiaojia took out the basin and said, "What are you doing?"
The servant said: "Someone is asking for a visit outside."
"Early early in the morning?" Gu Xiaojia frowned. Most of the people who came to the door at this time were anxious, but he had never had a good impression of the urgent matters of Xinhua. "Who?"
"People from the county government."
"...I understand." Gu Xiaojia waved his servants away and turned around and ran in. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind. Who said that two men cannot dance? Isn't this coming later? No wonder he felt something was wrong when he saw Tao Mo last night. He was indeed preparing to dig a trap to make the young master jump!
After hearing this, Gu She didn't make any fuss and said lightly: "Please come in."
Gu Xiaojia said anxiously: "I'm afraid that their visitors will be unkind!"
Gu Za raised his eyes, "Scared?"
Gu Xiaojia was stunned and said annoyedly: "Yes, what's so scary? I'll call them in now!"
"Wait." Tao Mo could hear clearly outside and finally couldn't help but stand up and said, "They probably came to find me, so I'd better let me explain this matter in person."
Gu Xiaojia said: "Come in person to explain? How are you going to explain the reason why you came to Gu's house?"
Tao Mo was suffocated by the question.
Gu Xiaojia refused to relax, "How do you explain why you spent the night in Gu's house?"
Tao Mo said: "This is the hospitality of the Gu family, so..."
"Our young master never leaves guests to stay. If you say this, it seems like we deliberately currying the great master of the county." Gu Xiaojia was unforgivable, and a few words completely blocked Tao Mo.
Gu Xiaojia felt angry and walked towards the door with slightly brisk steps. He wanted to see what Mu Chun wanted to do.
Tao Mo stayed awkwardly, looking at Gu She, who was sitting by the bed tidying up her sleeves.
If he could, he would be willing to look at him like this every day, even if he just had his sleeves or did nothing. But when Gu She looked over with cold eyes, he knew that this was just his wishful thinking.
"Thank you for taking it in overnight and having clothes." Tao Mo's eyes moved from side to side, afraid that he would never be able to move away once he met him.
"Why don't you refute him?" Gu She asked.
Tao Mo was stunned, "Refute? Who?"
Gu She didn't answer.
Tao Mo thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Are you talking about Gu Xiaojia?"
Gu She said, "Aren't you speaking in court?"
Tao Mo didn't know whether his words were praise or criticism, or that he was still worried about losing the Qiu family's lawsuit, so he had to continue on the matter: "What he said makes sense. I was inexplicably rushing in, and inexplicably causing trouble for you."
Gu She stood up, "Since that's the case, let's see how troublesome it is."
Tao Mo was confused about the two King Kongs. He caused trouble and didn’t he go to Gu’s mansion to stay overnight and put on Gu She’s clothes? Why did he hear his tone? It seems that there is still something else?
However, despite his doubts, he followed Gu She obediently and took two steps behind him.
Gu She suddenly stopped and turned around.
Tao Mo looked up and saw that his appearance was so close. He suddenly lost the instinct to speak. He could only open his eyes and look at him without blinking, his heart pounding.
"There is yesterday's overnight tea on the coffee table, go rinse your mouth." After Gu She said that, he left on his own.
Tao Mo stood there for a while before he suddenly came back to his senses. His face turned red with shame. He rushed into the room and drank two large cups of cold tea. Then he sniffed twice with his palms. He found that there was no smell in his mouth before he breathed a sigh of relief.
After just a while of delay, Gu She had already disappeared.
Tao Mo had to fumble forward in the mansion. He wanted to find someone to ask for directions, but Gu Shexijing did not hire too many servants in the mansion. He did not see anyone after about one stick of incense.
I finally arrived at the main hall, but there was silence inside.
Mu Chun and Gu She sat on one side, one warm and one cold, but they were equally excellent.
Hao Guozi and Gu Xiaojia stood behind them, but they also glared at each other, evenly matched.
Tao Mo stepped into the threshold, and as soon as they looked over, they suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if he was a redundant person and shouldn't have appeared here to disturb them. However, this idea quickly disappeared in Muchun's smile that made people feel like spring breeze.
Mu Chun smiled and said, "Where did the boss go last night? I asked us to find it overnight."
Tao Mo said: "I came to Gu's mansion for some reason. You are so tired that you are worried."
Before Mu Chun could speak, Hao Guozi walked over with a depressed look on his face and complained in a very light voice: "Young Master, the neighboring county is dozens of miles apart from Tanyang County. How can you run back from the neighboring county without knowing it?" His implication was that he did not believe Tao Mo's words.
Tao Mo smiled bitterly. He didn't know how to explain it, but he really didn't remember how he came to Gu's house. Hao Guozi didn't say it, but he didn't think it was. Now that he thought about it carefully, this matter was indeed very strange. With the distance between Tanyang County and the neighboring county, not to mention that he was drunk and unconscious, even if he was sober, he could not walk back and forth with his feet.
"I really don't know how it came from." He explained helplessly.
Before Hao Guozi came, he had already decided that Tao Mo was pretending to be crazy by drinking and deliberately came to Gu's house to get close to Gu She, so he thought everything he said was an excuse, and what he said was really suspicious. Who in the world would be full and send a man to another man's house thousands of miles away?
Someone who was full and was full and was fine said with a smile: "The clothes on the boss's body seem to be not the same as yesterday."
Hao Guozi looked closely and found that it was indeed different. All kinds of speculations immediately emerged in his heart, and Gu Xi's eyes were also very different.
The more Gu Xiaojia heard, the more he felt that the development momentum was wrong, and he hurriedly said, "He was so smelly yesterday that he smelled so bad that I took it to wash it."
Mu Chun looked at Gu She and smiled meaningfully, "It's so smelly."
Gu She said lightly: "It does taste. I think maybe the one on the eaves has not yet dissipated."
Mu Chun pretended not to know and said, "Oh? The taste spread to the roof, it really tasted very much."
Tao Mo was so ashamed that they smelled and tasted each time, and said quietly: "I won't drink again next time."
Mu Chun smiled and said, "Why do you have to tie yourself up in a cocoon? Drinking is a great joy in life. Don't you hear that there is nectar and jade liquid in the Heavenly Palace? It can be seen that even if you become a god and give up the seven emotions and six desires, you can't give up the things in this cup."
Tao Mo said: "But drinking has many disadvantages, such as alcohol can be messy... disorderly, disorderly?" Because he was not sure whether he said it correctly, he said the last word very lightly. But this tone would feel different when it hits others' ears.
Mu Chun said: "Why did the boss say this? Could it be that you did something last night?" He said to Tao Mo, but his eyes looked at Gu She.
Gu Xiaojia felt a thud and said to himself: It's coming, it's true that the immortal is jumping!
Gu She said with a frank look: "In Brother Mu's opinion, what can he do?"
Mu Chun stopped when he saw it was good, "It is naturally best if there is nothing to do."
Tao Mo listened to the two of them talking and laughing calmly, and always felt that there was something in his words, but he was a little unaware of the mystery. Seeing that Gu She and Mu Chun were both smiling but not speaking, he took the initiative to interrupt and said, "How do you know I am in the Gu Mansion?"
Mu Chun said without changing his expression: "We searched for the boss overnight and almost turned over the land of the two counties. In the end, Hao Guozi remembered that the boss and Mr. Gu had some friendship, so he found the Gu Mansion."
Tao Mo said guiltily: "It's all my fault, I have caused you to run around all night."
Even Gu Xiaojia, who usually dislikes him, feels a little sympathetic to him at this moment. He is probably counting money for someone to be sold.
Mu Chun coughed dryly and said, "Actually, I'm here today and I have something to ask Mr. Gu."
Gu Shedao: "Say."
"The county government is preparing to repair..."
Mu Chun was just halfway through, and was interrupted by Tao Mo and said, "Why should I repair it?"
Speaking of this, Hao Guozi was full of bitterness, "Young Master, your room collapsed for no reason today."
"Ah?" Tao Mo's eyes widened.
Gu Xiaojia stared at Mu Chun. Although there was no basis for thinking like this, he just felt that this matter had nothing to do with Mu Chun.
Hao Guozi said: "Not only did your room collapse, but the roofs of Lao Tao and several guest rooms were leaking."
Tao Mo Dai said: "How could this be?"
"This," Hao Guozi looked at Mu Chun, "Master Mu said maybe someone came to the county government to step on the plate in the middle of the night, but unfortunately broke the roof."
Gu Xiaojia burst into laughter.
Hao Guozi glared at him. He was gloating when he encountered such a thing.
Gu Xiaojia knew that he had lost his composure and hurriedly remedy: "I was thinking that the thief must be as fat as a pig, otherwise how could he step on the roof?" He said, glancing at Mu Chun with his eyes.
Mu Chun was calm and composed. Why did he need to do such a small matter as stepping on a plate? As for whether other people are as fat as pigs, what does it have to do with him? He just needs to make sure that person obeys the order.
Tao Mo said: "Is the loss big? How long will it take to repair it?"
Mu Chun said: "It's only after asking the craftsmen."
Tao Mo looked sad. The county government was not his private residence. Now that something happened in his hands, don’t care whether it was a natural disaster or a disaster, and he could never escape his relationship.
After Mu Chun finished explaining, he turned to Gu Shedao: "The county government suffered misfortune and wanted to ask Mr. Gu to help him."
Gu Xiaojia was surprised and said, "Is it possible that you are here to raise funds?" There are many such things in other places, and local officials can always come up with various names to find local wealthy people to raise money and fill their pockets. But this is Tanyang County, where a litigant can drown the county magistrate and then bury the sea. As long as the person whose head is not blocked by copper coins, he dare not do this. You must know that those litigants have no other skills, but the suing officials is almost correct!
Mu Chun smiled and said, "Of course not. Repairing the county government office is also the boss's business, so what does it have to do with Mr. Gu?"
Gu Xiaojia said, "Then what kind of help do you want the young master to do?"
"I want to ask Mr. Gu to take my boss in." Mu Chun said slowly.
"What?" Gu Xiaojia was the first to jump up.
"No!" Hao Guozi was the second one.
On the contrary, Gu She and Tao Mo were extremely calm.
