Love is More Than a Word

Chapter 23: Misfortunes do not go alone

As the head of a county, Tao Mo was busy collecting gifts. There are both etiquette and congratulatory gifts.

Lao Tao accepted it.

Tao Mo's original rhetoric, but the old Tao wrote down the gifts one by one in the account book, and then returned to each other with almost the same value. About three or four days, the various accounts on the account book have been leveled.

Hao Guoguo turned the account book over and over several times and said depressedly: "Is there really nothing left?"

Tao Tao said: "Nothing left."

Hao Guoguo said: "This gift is really lost."

Old Tao, but he didn't smile.

Tao Modao: "This is the best way. These human relations are not to be blamed."

Old Tao said: "Young Master, as a court official, shouldn't have exchanged with them. But this is a bad habit in the officialdom. If he refuses to do so, he refuses to be thousands of miles away, which makes people feel dissatisfied. So he had to make a decision."

Hao Guoguo said: "Those people are so comfortable?"

"No matter whether it is comfortable in my heart, at least the face is always gone." Old Tao said, "I don't have to hate it."

Tao Mo's heart moved, saying: "It is better to prepare two more gifts for Mr. Yi Hao and Mr. Lin."

Old Tao said: "What about Gu She Gu Gongzi?"

Tao Mo's eyes widened, "He helped me, and he should give it away."

Old Tao shook his head.

Tao Mo frowned: "Why?"

"Although I approve of the friendship between the young master and them, this kind of friendship is based on equality. If the young master blindly pleases them, it will make them feel contempt."

"Contempt? Will it?" Tao Mo remembered that Hao Guoguo had said before that if Gu Yi was too far-fetched, he would be bored. Now Lao Tao added another contempt, he was a bit nervous and confused.

Old Tao saw that he was absent, knowing that he was thinking about Gu She again, and could not help sighing: "Master. The officialdom is dangerous. Someone will be hiding a knife in a smile and falling into the rock. You must do it step by step.

Tao Modao: "I will be careful."

"I heard that Gu She came to talk about Yangxian County for a short time. He was able to pass over many lawyers in Tanyang County in a short period of time, and he became a proud student of Mr. Hammer. It must have been extraordinary. And I heard that he is very clothed in food, clothing and housing. Pay attention to it, even if it is not a famous family, it must be the origin of Shuxiangmen. If such a person is involved too deeply, I am afraid that it will cause trouble to the upper body." Lao Taoyu has a long heart.

How did Tao Mo know these points? He couldn't control it just because of the affection.

Lao Tao looked at him with a sad look and couldn't help saying: "If the young master is really a manly man, it's not impossible."

Hao Guoguo stared at him with wide eyes.

"It's just necessary to pass on the lineage. After marrying your wife, you can find a concubine with a clean family in the two houses and hide it in your house. You just want to be public." Lao Tao sighed.

Tao Mo's lips moved, and after a while he said: "I haven't thought so far."

Old Tao Jie first said: "It is indeed not a time to worry now. It is still important to have a firm foothold in Tanyang County."

Tao Mo bowed his head, but still remembered Gu She in his heart.

It's just such a person, don't say to him as a concubine, even if he sent him to be a concubine.

Lao Tao looked at him and waited a moment to see Hao Guoguo secretly winked.

The two went out quietly.

Old Tao asked: "What's the matter?"

Hao Guoguo said: "Old Tao, you don't understand Master's heart as thoroughly as I know it."

"Oh?"

"Although my young master is infatuated, he is not obsessive. If you really intend to accept a concubine for him, just let go and find it. If you really look right, then the young master and the newlyweds will be married, and it will be slow. Alienate Gu Gu." Hao Guoguo smiled.

Old Tao frowned.

"If you don't believe it, think about that rainy boy." Hao Guoguo reminded.

Tao Tao said: "Yang Yuyu will say something else."

Hao Guoguo said: "In short, it is much more useful than forcing him to forget Gu She."

Old Tao pondered: "I know, I will consider this matter."

Hao Guozi didn't know how to think about it. His mind was soon occupied by the coming Lantern Festival. The lantern festival was full of people, but Tao Mo didn't want to go, but he couldn't stand Hao Guoguo's entanglement and had to bear it.

The two wore felt hats and wore long jackets out of the door, and they were mixed in the crowd without being conspicuous.

The biggest feature of Tanyang is that there are many lawyers, so one of the characteristics of Tanyang Lantern Festival is the litigation between lawyers and lawyers.

Tao Mo and Hao Guoguo admired the lantern for a while, and were attracted by a huge lantern crowded by the crowd.

Hao Guoguo was thin and thin, and he got into the crowd three or two times.

Tao Mo had to wait outside.

After a while, Hao Guoguo got out and excitedly said: "It's quarreling inside."

"Quarrel?" Tao Mo anxiously said, "What's the noise? Is it powerful?"

"Hey, it's just fighting, it's not bad. It's all people who are full of mouthfuls." Hao Guoguo took his hand, "Young Master come with me." He had an experience and drilled faster the second time.

Tao Mo was not as flexible as he was, stumbled into it, and his wrists were bruised. It was difficult to get to the center, and before the opening, he was taken away by the figure in the field.

"Huh, Gu She?" Hao Guoguo frowned. I knew he was here too, so he didn't come with the young master.

Tao Mo was diametrically opposed to his state of mind, and his eyes fell on the indifferent figure like nothing in the world without blinking.

"Gu Gongzi, do an arbitration to see whether Wang Gongzi is good or Chen Gongzi is right." The middle-aged man was talking, with a smile on his face.

The named Wang Gongzi and Chen Gongzi looked at Gu She at the same time.

Gu She slowly said: "Each has its own merits."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "This is really difficult for me. Just know that there is only one lamp king, but can't separate the two." He said, pointing his finger at the biggest lantern in the field.

Wang Gongzi smiled and said: "Chen Gongzi's remarriage theory made me astounded. This lantern king should be taken by Chen Gongzi."

Chen Gongzi smiled and responded with a smile: "Duke Wang's theory of dov is even more splendid. This lamp king is still obtained by Wang Gongzi."

Wang Gongzi smiled, "How can Chen Gongzi get out of context?

"Then the center of my narrative is remarriage?"

The two looked at each other, gradually getting angry.

Under the suggestion of the middle-aged man, Gu She finally said: "Half a catty, no need to win."

Wang Gongzi and Chen Gongzi, who were originally glaring at each other, turned their anger on Gu She at the same time, "What does Gu Gongzi say?"

Gu Shedao said: "Your arguments have long been bound by court decree, detailed terms and conditions, as dense as a cow's hair, and all cases are arbitrarily. The topic you are talking about is broad, without grounds and without regard to cause and effect. Which one is higher, which is lower, is nothing but nonsense, so why bother to win or lose?"

"You..." Wang Gongzi and Chen Gongzi were said to be flushed, and both flew away.

The middle-aged man hurriedly removed the big lantern and sent it to Gu She. He laughed and said, "This year's Lantern King seems to be Gu Gongzi again."

Gu Xiaojia jumped out and said: "You send it every year, but my son does not accept it every year, why do you?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "You can't stay yesterday, and today it's refurbished. You refused to accept it yesterday, not necessarily the same today."

Gu Xiaojia was about to refute, so he heard Gu She said lightly: "Since that is the case, you give it to him."

The middle-aged man looked down his finger, just in a daze. "This is Gu Gongzi's..."

Gu She raised her mouth slightly, turned and walked away.

Tao Mo's heart moved, and he was about to catch up, but was stopped by the middle-aged man. He simply took the big lantern hanging from the height and stuffed it with him. "Congratulations to this son."

Hao Guoguo was holding the lantern with all his hands and feet, afraid of poking him out, and afraid of touching it off, whether it was light or not, he was very distressed, "What is this?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, "Isn't the two people talking about Yang?"

Hao Guoguo said: "It will be just a few more years."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "This is the King of Lamps, there is only one every year, only for the winner of the mutual defense contest. In fact, although Gu Gongzi did not take it every year, he came every year. So far, I have not seen anyone Take the Lord of the Lights from him."

Hao Guoguo whispered: "It's really overbearing not to do it yourself, but not to others."

The middle-aged man said: "Although Gu Gongzi does not go to the public hall, he is Mr. Cheng Yiyi, and speaking of it, he is also a famous litigant. He can't see anyone else taking the Lantern King.

Tao Mo suddenly asked: "Who came up with this lamp king's rules?"

The middle-aged man proudly said: "I."

Hao Guoguo said: "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man said with a chest: "I am the owner of Yutu Lantern Square."

"..."

Hao Guoguo first said: "I finally understand why there is no familiar face other than Gu She to participate in this lamp king contest." Won the boring and lost.

Middle-aged: "..."

Hao Guoguo originally wanted to throw away the lantern, but Tao Mo refused. In his heart, this lantern is a gift from Gu She, and the treasure is not too scared, how can it be discarded? He saw Hao Guozi holding the lantern in a casual pose, and he was afraid that the lantern would be damaged.

The big lantern was walking in the arms and walking on the street was striking, looking back and forth along the way.

Tao Mo didn't notice it and asked, "Where can you see where Gu She is going?"

Hao Guoguo pointed at one hand, "It seems that there is gone."

Tao Mo walked a few steps to the corner, and a figure suddenly flashed out. He missed the momentum and almost hit the other side, but was slid over by the other side.

"Sorry." The other party's voice was elegant and smooth.

Tao Mo removed the lantern and his eyes lit up.

I saw that the person in front of me was as dusty as Xueyue, and his temperament and grace were not lost by Gu She.

"Being brave enough, please forgive me Xiongtai. Excuse me, how do I get to the county government office?"

Hao Guoguo emerged from behind Tao Mo, "Are you going to the county government office? What do you do? Complaint?"

"No, go find someone." The youth said calmly.

Hao Guoguo looked at him suspiciously, "Who?"

The young man smiled and said, "Old Tao."
