6. A new official takes office (6)

After the matter was settled, Lu Zhenxue stood up and said goodbye.

Tao Mo sent it to the door, thought for a while, and turned around and told Lao Tao that he was settled.

After hearing his narration, Lao Tao frowned and said, "That Lu Zhenxue is afraid that the visitor is not good."

Tao Mo said in surprise: "Why?" In his opinion, Lu Zhenxue should be his first friend to make in Tanyang County.

Lao Tao said: "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. How could Lin Zhengyong's subordinate actively introduce you to Mr. Yichu's subordinate?"

Tao Mo said: "What about him?"

"I just don't know what to do." Old Tao pondered, "I still have to go. But as you said, sit for a while and come back. Don't have any entanglements with others."

Tao Mo felt aroused when he thought of Gu She, but when he looked at Lao Tao, he seemed to have a clear understanding of everything, and then he said coldly, "What kind of entanglement can you have?"

"It's better if you don't have it." Old Tao knew that he was sick again and couldn't bear to force him anymore. He changed the subject, "Although the county magistrate is a small official, the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs. The county government office has three classes and six rooms. If you have nothing to do, you will go to deal with them in the afternoon, so it will be easier to do things in the future."

Tao Mo quickly replied.

Lao Tao said: "You have seen that Cui Dianshi. If you see him again later, don't forget to get close to him."

Tao ink should be put down again.

When Lao Tao saw that he was sick and ill, he was not relieved, but there were too many affairs in the mansion and he really couldn't let go, so he had to step back and say, "I'll let Hao Guozi follow you. If you have anything unknown, just send him to ask. The left and right are not far away."

When Tao Mo heard that he would not go, he felt a little nervous, "It would be better if he went there another day."

"Young Master, I will die one day after all." Lao Tao said without changing his face, "Will the young master stop being an official when I die?"

Tao Mo said in shock: "Don't say that. I know you won't die easily."

Lao Tao twitched slightly, "Young Master, if I hadn't known you, I would have thought you were very sorry."

Tao Mo said: "I didn't mean that."

"I know. You go to have a meal first, and then go with Hao Guozi."

Tao Mo turned around and went out, ate as he said, and then went out.

The sixth room was just around the county government office, and I went out and entered the door in just a blink of an eye.

Although the clerk working inside had never seen Tao Mo himself, he had already inquired about his appearance. When he saw him entering the door, he hurriedly came out. Tao Mo asked one by one, and performed very appropriately.

Later, there were six houses, and Guan Nian went out to welcome him, and there was another greeting.

Cui Jiong did not work here and never came today.

Tao Mo talked to them for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.

Hao Guozi followed behind him and whispered: "Young Master seems to have changed his personality just now."

Tao Mo said: "Why have you changed your individual?"

"Young Master looked very knowledgeable just now." Hao Guozi said frankly.

Tao Mo was stunned for a moment, his face dark.

Hao Guozi seemed to realize that the words were wrong just now, and hurriedly said, "I'm not saying that the young master is ignorant, I'm just, just..."

"It's nothing to be ignorant. My father often said this to me during his lifetime."

Hao Guozi blushed and his ears were equatorial: "How can I compare to the master?"

Tao Mo said: "You said it well. I was just ignorant and had no ink."

Hao Guozi said: "Listen to the young master's conversation, who can believe that the young master is ignorant?"

Tao Mo smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that I remembered it after hearing others say that I've said too much. I can say these words, but I can't write them. Even if you write them out and put them in front of me, I can't recognize them."

Hao Guozi said: "Who says that all the talented people must be able to read?"

Tao Mo suddenly said, "What does it mean to 'Three thousand weak waters, only take one scoop of water to drink'?"

Although Hao Guozi was just a servant, he went to school when he was a child and knew more than him.

Hao Guozi said in surprise: "Young Master has a sweetheart?"

"Love?" Tao Mo was stunned, then he realized that it turned red and went straight to the house without saying a word.

He left Hao Guozi standing blankly for a while, murmured: "I don't expect the young master to forget that young master Yiyu so quickly."

Lu Zhenxue is still quite famous in Tanyang County. Before Gu She Future, he was the most popular figure in Tanyang County. Everyone knows that the Lu family has a talented, quick-witted and verbal person, and he won the juren at a young age. So he held a plum blossom banquet and many supporters.

According to Lao Tao, Tao Mo arrives neither early nor late.

As a parent official in the county, his arrival was still warmly welcomed by his host.

Lu Zhenxue smiled and led him to the main table, "My parents have not returned from home, so I have to decide here. I hope you don't blame me."

"Where are there." Tao Mo said silently in his heart, "It is my fault that he failed to pay homage to Lingzun Lingtang."

Lu Zhenxue was stunned and thought to himself, what did my parents have to do with you? Why did it become your fault? Could it be that he really regards me as a close friend? He looked at Tao Mo's face carefully, and felt that he was absent-minded and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Since he wanted to win over me through the drama, he should do it more realistically.

Tao Mo originally planned to leave after saying a few words, but he looked around and didn't see Gu She, and was a little unwilling to accept it, so he couldn't help but wait for a while.

Lu Zhenxue stood up to greet the others, and introduced some people to him by the way.

Tao Mo knew that these people were all local wealthy businessmen, so he started talking.

When it comes to the harvest this year, the surroundings suddenly become quiet.

Tao Mo turned around and looked.

Gu She slowly walked up surrounded by his fellow disciples. The purple-red cloak made his eyebrows and eyes look as elegant as poetry.

Lu Zhenxue said hello one by one. When it was Gu She's turn, he smiled very brightly, "I'm so flattered by Brother Gu."

"Brother Lu, you're welcome."

This was the first time Tao Mo heard Gu She speak. Each word aroused ripples in his heart like a small stone, circle by circle, unable to calm down.

"This is Lord Tao, I introduced it to you last time." Lu Zhen's disciple suddenly pointed to Tao Mo's direction.

By the way, Tao Mo passed by.

He was so proactive that the others didn't seem to turn a blind eye to him like last time and just greeted him perfunctorily.

Tao Mo responded, while sticking his eyes to Gu She intentionally or unintentionally.

As if he felt his gaze, Gu She's swaying eyes finally fell on him.

When Tao Mo saw him looking at him, he felt excited and felt that nothing in the world could compare to the beauty of this moment.

But it didn't last long, Gu She walked away quickly.

Tao Mo followed him dazed for a long time until a senior brother, Gu She, couldn't see him and turned around and asked, "What advice do you have?" He suddenly woke up and walked back to the main table awkwardly.

Since then, he has been in a daze and his eyes are often aiming in the direction where Gu She is, and even forgets that Lao Tao told him to leave.

After eating wine with everyone for a while, Lu Zhenxue revealed his purpose today and said: "Wine needs to be fun. It is better to ask Lord Tao to write a poem to add some brilliance to this cold winter."

Everyone drank together.

Tao Mo was startled and waved his hand quickly and said, "I don't know."

Lu Zhen Xuedao: "Why do you have to be polite sir? Everyone knows that all the county officials in Tanyang County are all well-educated scholars. Since the adults can come to Tanyang County, they must have achieved great success in poetry."

Tao Mo whispered: "I really can't."

"Sir, are you looking down on me like this little plum blossom feast?" Lu Zhenxue's face turned cold.

No matter how dull Tao Mo was, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he could only keep repeating: "I really can't write poetry. I, I, I'm actually illiterate."

"puff."

I don’t know who took the lead in laughing, which made everyone else laugh.

"Please forgive me, sir." Lu Zhenxue's face slowed down, but he couldn't hide the ridicule in his eyes, "I'm demanding."

"Haha..." Finally someone couldn't help laughing out loud.

Tao Moru was sitting on pins and needles, his body was as stiff as a stone, and he didn't dare to turn his head back. He just stared at the job in front of him, and kept guessing Gu She's expression at this moment in his heart. Perhaps, he laughed like these people, right?

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Lu Zhenxue was talking to others, so he turned around and ran away. It was so fast that Lu Zhenxue had no chance to scream.

When he rushed out of Lu's mansion, Tao Mo felt a little heavy and leaned softly against the door.

A very beautiful carriage parked outside the door, which happened to block the sedan chair of the county government. No one noticed that his adult had already come out.
