49. The ulterior motives (4)
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and the tranquility and calmness inside and outside the house returned to the previous ones.
Gu She silently picked off the stamens of the wintersweet and slowly crushed them before her index finger and thumb.
My mother loves this flower the most. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, she always likes to put it by the windowsill. She said that this flower is proud of the snow and cold, and is the most talented. She was born into a general and is a real tiger girl. However, since she married into the Gu family, she put down her golden sword and devoted herself to housework.
My father loved Cangsong, who believed that he was steady and graceful, had a moderate progress, and had a firm mind. Others were like Cangsong. He never spent time and drank, but only had a romantic relationship with his mother.
Everyone thought they were a good marriage and had a deep love between husband and wife. Even they themselves thought so. If it weren't for the uncle who accidentally killed the son of the Minister of Personnel, this recognition might have lasted until their death.
A story of hero saving beauty has resulted in a tragedy in which heroes are buried with bullies.
I still remember the morning of the day my uncle was executed. The wind was very cold, like a knife. After my mother was refused to enter the palace and pleaded with the emperor, she took him out in a thin plain clothes and went back to her parents' home.
The once crowded general's mansion was deserted and looked particularly desolate. The mansion was decorated with clothes and decorated with mourning halls.
My mother did not enter the mourning hall, but just knelt silently outside the hall.
Until the bad news came.
Crying in the room.
He looked into his mother's eyes and fucked terriblely.
The monks and Taoists who had been invited long ago began to recite scriptures and chant Buddha's name and perform salvation.
My mother stood up slowly and took him back to the mansion in a flash. This was the last time he remembered that his mother stepped into the door of her parents' home.
Later, my father was promoted to a position of less than one person and more than ten thousand people.
Later, my mother couldn't afford to get sick.
I still remember that my mother's eyes were as dim as the stars in the morning. Her once beautiful face is now standing tall and she will never see the beauty of the wintersweets when she admires the plum blossoms. She grabbed his hand and asked lightly: "Do you think your uncle deserves to die?"
"Don't die." He answered without hesitation. It is natural to save people.
The mother said, "But he is dead."
He said: "I will read poetry and books diligently, and be a high-ranking official who can protect my uncle from death. I will never stand by like my father."
The mother was silent for a while and said slowly: "Murder for life, your father did nothing wrong."
"Mother thinks my uncle is wrong?"
"He is not wrong, either." She said quietly, "Maybe the one who is wrong is heaven and fate. No matter how many mistakes are, I should not be the one who protects his shortcomings in his mind. He should not be the only fair and fair person in this world."
Although her mother said that her father was right, Gu She could hear the unfinished resentment in her heart.
"Ashe." Her fingers tightened, as if she wanted to nail the next words into his heart word by word, "Remember. A love and friendship are not just about love. Mei and Song seem to be similar, but in fact, they are completely different. Remember, if you are a selfless person, don't look for a narrow-minded wife like me. If you are like your mother, you are also a person who protects your short-sightedness. Then, don't look for a real man like your father who refuses to destroy his relatives. Do you remember?"
He remembers.
I remember the pain and my mother's words at that time. Every word is vivid in my mind.
Thinking about it now, although Tao Mo and his father have different personalities, they are truly selfless people. In their father's eyes, there is an emperor and a future, but in Tao Mo's eyes, there is only justice?
Why does he mind so much about this?
Tao Mo is an official, although he is not smart and flexible enough, he is still an upright official. In today's dark officialdom, it should be a matter of celebration to see such an official. But why is he upset?
From the beginning of Tao Mo's marriage, he felt suffocated. Now that he thought, it was not to lose the lawsuit.
Could it be...
He frowned.
The stamens fall from the fingers, silently.
Tao Mo sat in the flower hall waiting. When he saw Gu Xiaojia coming out, he immediately stood up and looked behind him.
Gu Xiaojia said: "No need to watch it, the young master is resting in the room."
Tao Mo couldn't hide his disappointment and said dryly: "Young Master Gu must be very tired after running around for a day today."
Gu Xiaojia said: "Didn't you say that the carriage was found? I'll go and take a look."
Tao Mo said dejectedly: "Okay."
Gu Xiaojia asked as he walked, "Car thief has been found?"
Tao Mo shook his head, "The carriage was discarded outside the city and there was no one."
Gu Xiaojia said: "He must have taken all the valuable things in the car and abandoned the car on the road. But he didn't know that the car itself was actually very valuable."
Tao Mo sighed, "If I didn't count the wrong thing, there is no shortage of anything in the car."
Gu Xiaojia sneered: "It must be that you pointed the wrong one. You should know that there are many valuable little things in this carriage." He said, climbing into the carriage with his hands and feet.
Tao Mo was waiting outside.
After a while, Gu Xiaojia got off the carriage with confusion, "What's the point of taking the carriage away if he doesn't steal anything? Could it be to make fun of us?" The fun was so funny. He immediately thought of Lin Zhengyong's subordinate. After thinking about it, they should be the only one who dared to make fun of his young master in Tanyang County. Unexpectedly, the young master just lost in Mr. Qiu's lawsuit, so that people bullied him like this. As he thought about it, he couldn't help but glared at Tao Mo fiercely.
Tao Mo was stared at for no reason.
Gu Xiaojia said: "Although the carriage has been retrieved, I don't know who has been sitting there during this period. I will just go and have someone clean it inside and out."
Tao Mo watched him walk around, hesitating while hesitating, not knowing what to do.
Hao Guozi, who had been interrupting, couldn't help but say, "Where is Gu She?"
Tao Mo's face tightened, and after a while, he smiled dryly and said, "It's probably because he's tired."
"Then will we go back to the county government tonight or live in Gu's house?" If Tao Mo was willing to move back to the county government before, Hao Guozi would definitely follow it happily. But now there is a beautiful rain outside. Gu She turned into an umbrella to shelter from the wind and rain. He didn't want his young master to escape from the umbrella so quickly.
Tao Mo always thought about him, "Go back. It's not good to always bother him."
It would be great if I hadn't seen you at the beginning, and I didn't live there anyway. Hao Guozi thought about it, but he didn't want to go against his will. He went to Yayi Pavilion to pack up his things and went back to the county government with him.
The county government office lacked Lao Tao and Mu Chun, and Master Jin returned home, and it seemed particularly deserted.
Hao Guozi muttered while helping Tao Mo make the bed, "Why are you gone before nightfall?"
Tao Mo knew that he was talking about Master Jin and said, "It's cold outside, it's early, so it's better to go home early."
Hao Guozi said, "Okay, I'll talk to the young master."
Tao Mo said: "What do you say?"
"Everything is good." Hao Guozi sat down next to him, "Why not, tell me what happened to the young master and Gu's outing today?"
Tao Mo said: "There is nothing to say."
Hao Guozi said: "That's right. Gu She said with mercy, so she was afraid she was bored."
"He is not bored." Tao Mo retorted, suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you ever heard of Gu Xianzhi?" He always felt it was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, so he wanted to ask Hao Guozi with a chance.
Hao Guozi said in surprise: "How could the young master ask him?"
"he?"
"Of course." Hao Guozi was about to cheer up and introduced passionately, the doorman said outside: "Sir, the carriage from the Gu family is waiting outside."
Hao Guozi stood up in confusion and opened the door: "What are they doing this late night?"
The concierge said, "It's said that he was taking the adults to play chess."
Hao Guozi said: "It's too late tonight, let them again tomorrow..."
Before he finished speaking, Tao Mo rushed out.
"..." Hao Guozi turned around and picked up the bag that she had not yet opened, closed the door, and ran afterwards.
The carriage is still the stolen carriage.
The one who drove was Gu Xiaojia.
When he saw Tao Mo coming out, he complained unwillingly: "I live well, why do I run back to the county government to do? Has the roof been repaired?"
Tao Mo smiled dryly and said, "It's not. But Master Mu left, so I wanted to go to his house to make do with it so as not to bother me."
"What does the master of Tangtang County live in the master's house?" Gu Xiaojia saw Hao Guozi coming out with a bag, and nodded with satisfaction, "Anyway, our Gu family has many things, so naturally there is no shortage of one or two houses." He didn't want to sleep in the kitchen without shortage of houses.
