Tao Mo was stunned, feeling aggrieved and sad. Gu She changed her mind obviously not because of his words, but because of Gu Xiaojia's words. The defensive words that overflowed into her throat shrank back at Gu She's cold face, leaving only the bitterness of her mouth. He lowered his head, turned around slowly, and walked out with his shoulders shrinking.

Gu Xiaojia was just proud, but he heard Gu She say calmly: "You don't have to wait outside tonight."

Gu Xiaojia was stunned and said, "Then where will I sleep?"

Gu Shedao: "There is always a kitchen in the inn."

Gu Xiaojia: "..." He finally knew what it means to be complacent and shooting himself in the foot.

Soon, there were chaotic and depressing footsteps coming closer.

Gu She cheered up and said to Gu Xiaojia, who was standing beside the bed, "Help me up."

Gu Xiaojia widened his eyes and said, "Young Master, your injury has not healed yet."

Gu She said: "I didn't hurt my head."

Seeing that his face was unpleasant, Gu Xiaojia had to hold him up and kneel up. Seeing Gu She's brows frowned due to pain, he felt sad and felt even more disgusted with Tao Mo.

Gu She finally put one foot down with Gu Xiaojia's support, and then heard a timid knock on the door outside.

"Wait." His voice was filled with imperceptible weakness and tremor.

Gu Xiaojia felt irritated when he heard this, but he didn't dare to be arrogant, so he could only shout at the door: "Wait!"

There was no sound outside immediately.

After a while, Gu She stood at the head of the bed and put on her coat.

Gu Xiaojia saw that Gu She had a cold sweat on her forehead, her face was pale and bloodless, and whispered: "Young Master, why not disappear."

Gu She took a breath and said, "When will I count what I said?"

Gu Xiaojia sighed silently, cursed Tao Mo several times in his heart before he opened the door awkwardly.

When he opened the door, it was not Tao Mo standing in front, but Liu Chongpin. Tao Mo was pulled by Master Yao and stood in the last row, revealing only half of his shoulders. After this comparison, Gu Xiaojia felt that Tao Mo became cute again, and the other people's faces were even more disgusting.

"Liu Chongpin, Xiaqincheng, admires Mr. Gu's talent and character for a long time. I'm here to pay a visit." Liu Chongpin said, and even bowed deeply to Gu Xiaojia.

Gu Xiaojia rolled his eyes, moved aside, and deliberately shouted in the direction of Tao Mo: "Where is Lord Tao?"

Tao Mo tried hard to push away the people hanging at the door and squeezed in front. Although his hand was not strong, Liu Chongpin was still squeezed aside by him.

"I'm here." Tao Mo looked at Gu Xiaojia with wide eyes.

Gu Xiaojia turned his head to look at Gu She. Seeing Gu She lying down on his side again, he nodded at him against the pillow, and then said, "Please come in."

Tao Mo walked in first, looked Gu up and down several times, and then looked away from his eyes.

When the others saw Gu She, they looked at him repeatedly. Seeing that he was still lying on the bed, he still looked open and could not hide his elegance. He suddenly felt a little nervous and bowed his hands without mentioning them.

Gu She said calmly: "Gu is ill and cannot give me a gift. I hope I will forgive you."

The great scholars asked why this was the case. When Master Yao invited them, he did not mention the whole story of Gu She's injury, so they just thought he was sick and did not think too much.

Gu Shedao: "It's just the entertainment of the prefect Qincheng."

He spoke in a bad mood, but Master Yao was frightened and knew that this beam was not easy to resolve.

The great scholars were surprised, but they all understood the way to protect themselves. Therefore, no one asked them again, even though they were surprised.

Gu She's eyes turned and fell on Liu Chongpin, "Your surname is Liu?"

When Liu Chongpin saw that no one asked him, he asked himself alone, and he looked at him differently. He felt excited, but he bowed quietly on the surface and said, "Let's go to Liu Chongpin."

Gu Shedao: "How to make a living?"

Liu Chongpin was slightly stunned and quickly replied: "It's just a life of poetry and painting."

The great scholars present knew his character and disagreed with his artificial answer, with a look of disdain on his face.

Gu She raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? How much is your poetry and painting worth?"

Liu Chongpin smiled and said, "How dare you buy and sell a vulgar work?"

"If you don't buy or sell, how can you survive with poetry and painting?" Gu She asked leisurely, but every word was touching Liu Chongpin's heart and lungs.

How could Liu Chongpin say that he relied on the help of his mother and stepfather all day long, so he had to vaguely say: "Poetry and painting are what I like. If you can accompany you with poetry and painting, you can eat sweet food even if you are simple."

This time, before Gu She spoke, Gu Xiaojia understood his intention and sneered: "You have to exchange for simple food and rice with Brother Kong Fang. You can't sell poetry and paintings, and you don't do anything else other than poetry and paintings. Where did Brother Kong Fang come from? Are you cheating or begging along the street?"

He said something unintentional. When he heard Liu Chongpin's ears, he was referring to his wishes. He thought that his deeds were known to them. He felt embarrassed and uneasy in his heart. His face turned blue and white, changing in an interlaced manner. Even though he was usually smart, he could not speak at this time.

The great scholars originally came here because of Gu Xianzhi's name. They didn't expect Gu She to be sick and lying in bed. They thought they had nothing to gain in this trip and would definitely return disappointed, but they didn't expect to see such a good show. They had long been disgusted with Liu Chongpin, but because of their face, they could not teach them a lesson. Now, seeing Gu She's master and servant make things difficult for him, they feel a sense of venting anger, and the disappointment was slightly diluted.

One of the great Confucians and Taoists: "I heard that Gu Gongzi had both calligraphy and painting, but few works were passed down from generation to generation. I was fortunate to see a painting that visited Zhongling Temple in the late autumn, and I still missed it. I wonder if I have the honor to see the masterpiece again today?"

Gu She raised her eyes to look at him.

The great scholar was shocked. He was obviously lying on his side, and he was condescending, so why did he have the illusion of being looked down upon?

"I have never been to Zhongling Temple." Gu She said slowly.

Daru said anxiously: "Then how did you paint?"

Gu Shedao: "I have never done it."

The great scholar froze. He was fascinated by Gu Xian's visit to Zhongling Temple for several years. He didn't expect it to be fake? "This is impossible. If that man had such accomplishments, why would he imitate the name of others?"

Gu She asked, "Where are you painting?"

Daru Taoism: "This painting is one of the treasures of Mingjingzhai's shop, and it is still in the shop." He was anxious and originally wanted to ask Gu She to check it out together, but when he saw Gu She lying on the bed, he remembered that he was unwell and he was very hesitant.

Gu She said to Gu Xiaojia: "You go with him. See if it is Yue Ling or Zhang Zishu."

Gu Xiaojia responded: "Yes."

The great scholar asked: "Who are Yue Ling and Zhang Zishu?"

Gu Shedao: "Living person."

The great scholar encountered a soft nail and dared not say anything more.

Gu She closed her eyes and showed fatigue.

The great scholars were all people with a look of their eyes and said goodbye one by one. The great scholar who had been looking for paintings before did not forget to pull Gu Xiaojia away.

Gu Xiaojia was not at ease, but later he saw Tao Mo step forward and automatically fill his position, so he left unwillingly.

Liu Chongpin and Master Yao stayed.

Master Yao sincerely apologized, explained the prefect's "unintentional mistake" and sincerely asked Gu She for understanding.

Gu She closed her eyes and ignored her.

Liu Chongpin was disappointed just now, and he still remembered hatred in his heart, but he didn't want to miss such a great opportunity to rise to the top. In the end, he took his face and deliberately took two steps forward. He stood a step away from Gu Shecha, and said softly: "Mr. Gu has paintings? Can you let the young student see it?"

Gu She opened her eyes.

Liu Chongpin was ecstatic.

"Why do you want to show my paintings?" Gu She asked.

Liu Chongpin was suffocated by the question, but he was always thick-skinned and quickly replied: "I have admired Mr. Gu for a long time, and my heart is so clear to the sun and the moon. Do you not believe me?" He thought that his expression and tone were very sincere, and that if Gu Shoo was a slight touch, he would be slightly moved. Unexpectedly, Gu Shoo Shoo was not only a stern heart, but also a stern heart that was harder than iron and harder than stone. He didn't even blink his eyelids and said: "What I came just now admired me."

Master Yao was onlooker, and saw that Liu Chongpin was defeated repeatedly and not only pleased Gu She, but also aroused his disgust. He hurriedly said, "Young Master Gu's injury has not healed, so it is not advisable to work too much. Young Master Liu, it is better for us to come and visit again another day."

How could Liu Chongpin know what Master Yao saw? He went downstairs and said, "Prince Gu is resting well, Chongpin said goodbye." He bowed deeply again, his attitude was so pious that he worshipped the gods.

However, Gu She closed her eyes in vain even the care of her.

Tao Mo hurriedly sent the two of them out.

When he arrived at the corridor, Master Yao suddenly stopped and turned to Tao Mo and said, "Mr. Tao, what happened that day was really a misunderstanding. Please ask Lord Tao to have a lot of it, so forgive me."

Tao Mo said: "What the prefect said is true. I am neglecting my duties. I should ask the prefect to forgive me."

Master Yao thought he was sarcastic and suddenly felt like he was eating a fly. After a long time, he laughed: "The past is over, why should Lord Tao be upset? It has caused Mr. Gu to suffer an innocent disaster in vain... Alas, please ask Lord Tao to speak for him." He said as he took out a pack of things from his sleeve.

Tao Mo suddenly took two steps back and bowed, "It's not too late, please leave."

Master Yao’s things were exposed in the air. After all, he had experienced strong winds and waves. He quickly restrained his expression, put away his things without changing his expression, and bowed, "Thank you, Lord Tao, for sending you off." As he said that, he turned around and walked downstairs with Liu Chongpin.

Tao Mo listened to their footsteps getting farther and farther away, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to look back at the shooting room.

Gu She was trying hard to sit up.

Seeing that he had worked hard, Tao Mo immediately stepped forward to support him and said worriedly: "What do you want, I'll take it for you."

"Take off your clothes." Gu Shidao.

Tao Mo noticed that he was wearing a coat just now, and remembered that he had never wanted to see him before. He must have been reluctant to see these great scholars, and felt even more guilty and whispered: "I'll help you."

Gu cried and raised his arm.

Tao Mo took off his clothes with slight hands and feet, held his arm and lay down again, then hung the clothes, looked back and saw Gu She adjusting her posture, turning her head inward, and ignoring him.

"Do you... feel pain?" Tao Mo asked.

Gu She didn't answer for a long time.

Tao Mo asked again: "It hurts?"

"I'm sleepy." Gu Shedao.

Tao Mo helped him cover the quilt, "Stop, I'll be there, just call me if you have any questions." Gu Xiaojia was invited to see the painting, and Gu She lost the man who ordered him, so he took the initiative to stay.

"No need." Gu Shidao, "He will be back soon."

Tao Mo insisted: "I will leave when he comes back."

Gu She turned her head and looked at him.

If it were the past, Tao Mo would have been defeated by his eyes. But at this moment, Gu She was lying on the bed, her expression still lacked a little momentum, which made Tao Mo's courage become stronger. He said, "If you don't want me to be outside, I will wait at the door. I can hear it."

Gu She's eyes gradually became sharp.

Tao Mo quickly retreated to the door and covered the door from outside.
