Love is More than a Word《识汝不识丁》Shi Nu Bu Shi Ding
Love is More than a Word, Chapter 12: The Famous teacher and the brilliant apprentice (3)...
Mr. Yichui and Master Jin both had a secret admiration in their hearts at this moment: great!
To the eyes of others, Tao Mo's words were very abrupt. After all, even if Gu She had a deep friendship with him, he was only a friend from all sides, so how could he decide on a lifelong event such as marriage and such for him? But on a deeper level, doesn't that mean he regards Gu She as a close friend and even dares to commit himself with a single word for life? The fact that Gu She is one of Mr. Yichui's top disciples, this Tong girl he must have heard a bit about her, and entrusting him with this matter also has an element of temptation.
On closer examination, such a seemingly thoughtless sentence has all sorts of benefits. He did not offend Mrs. Yichui by excusing himself, nor did he show a frivolous attitude by promising to do so.
Mrs. Yichui is not as much as they thought, bright eyes suddenly turned to Gu She, the true meaning of which is self-evident.
Gu She his head sideways, looked at the staring four pairs of eyes and said faintly, "It's okay to consider."
Tao Mo froze, obviously did not expect him to refuse for himself, and his face could not help but look a little bit lost.
Mrs. Yichui was busy saying, "Don't listen to Gu She’s nonsense. As he always does, he leaves his words to chance. My niece's looks and character are rare, and I wouldn't want to be involved in this if I didn't see Lord Tao's scholarly self."
Naturally, her words can only fool the newcomer Tao Mo. Local snakes such as the Master Jin have heard of her niece's "blotchy deeds" for a long time. The so-called "No marriage" is only because the other party is not willing.
Tao Mo originally wanted to refuse on the grounds of mourning and filial piety, but then remembered that Lao Tao had said that he could not divulge the matter, and was secretly anxious, saying: "This matter, needs no hurry."
"How not to hurry? As soon as you are married late, you will have less fun painting your eyebrows and making up." Mr. Yichui said, “If you leave the eight characters of your birthday first, I'll give it to the temple and if it's suitable for you to be together, you can come and request a date."
Tao Mo was dumbfounded, somehow the matter had evolved to the point of being the date of the marriage being set down.
The Master Jin, seeing his Master's stupefied appearance, couldn't bear it after all, said: "It's the end of the year, and his Excellency is new so I don't think he is going to be able to take the time. Why don't we wait until next year, when spring is in full bloom and a hundred flowers are swaying in the air?"
"Where did the Magistrate get so much work for him to be that busy?" She glared at Mr. Yichui, "Are you're back to plot things in the shadows again?"
How did Mr. Yichui know that drinking tea will also bring fire to his body, he quickly apologized and said, "Madam, you know. I've been saddling myself in front of you these days, following you around, following you out, where is my leisure time to care about the county magistrate shenanigans?"
Lady One Yichui laughed coldly, "You are restful, but who knows if your disciples are restful."
Mr. Yichui's eyes were swept aside as he sat indifferently, and Gu She, who had no interest in his own affairs, said, "I don't know about that. It's a good thing there's a disciple here, just ask him yourself."
Mrs. Yichui stared at Gu She.
Before Gu She could answer, Tao Mo had already spoken first, "He didn't come to make trouble."
"I knew he wouldn't come." He is notorious for not going to court. But don't look at him like he's honest, he's got a lot of cunningness hidden in his stomach."
Master Jin almost spat out a mouthful of tea. Gu She has a loyal and honest face?
Mr. Yichui successfully drew the scourge away, and with great enthusiasm, he said: "Yes, yes, yes. I'm not even more than him."
One Yichui said, "That's because you've been splashing it all over the place for decades."
Mr. Yichui laughed dryly.
Gu She finally opened his mouth and said, ''Plow the land, plowman. Beast hunter, beast hunter. Splash, splash. What is the name of the wife of the shrew?"
Mrs. Yichui's willow eyebrows squeezed, "You dare to call me a shrew?"
"I didn't say that," said Gu She.
Tao Mo echoed in a small voice, "Indeed, he did not say."
Mrs. Yichui turned her head to glare at Mr. Yichui, "You say!"
Mr. Yichui hurriedly begged, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault for throwing too much water and dragging the lady down."
Mrs. Yichui was kind and funny, twisted her head, extended her finger and poked Tao Mo's forehead, "If you get close to Gu She again, be careful that he may abducts you to sell you without you knowing."
Tao Mo giggled, "If he's really willing to abduct, I'll let him abduct."
Mrs. Yichui choked on his silly look, unable to speak.
Mr. Yichui gave him a deep look and said to Gu She, "It's rare that the county magistrate appreciates you, don't let him down."
Gu She said lightly, "Why does Master value the word so highly?"
Mrs. Yichui's unkind gaze immediately swept over.
Mr. Yichui gave him a severe glare and gave Mrs. Yichui an extremely happy smile, "Madam, the sun is a bit off, why don't we go back to our room?"
Mrs. Yichui looked at Tao Mo fondly, "Lord Tao, we still don't know if he will come next time."
Mr. Yichui immediately struck an eye slash!
Tao Mo had to say, "Come, I will definitely come."
Mrs. Yichui said with satisfaction, "In that case, I'll be at home after the New Year's Eve."
Tao Mo watched her nestle against Mr. Yichui and leave, but could not even squeeze out a smile.
Master Jin reassured him, ''You go back and consult with Lao Tao. Actually, Miss Tong... is not bad."
Tao Mo stole a glance at Gu She and swore, "I won't marry any better."
Master Jin was surprised, "Why is this?" he thought he was displeased with Miss Tong's brashness, but now it looks like there is another reason.
Tao Mo turned to see Gu She again.
With a twinkle in his eye, Master Jin said, "Could it be that there is someone in his Excellency heart?" Yes, at this age, the sinuses are long overdue and it’s time for love affairs to bloom. "Since there is someone in the heart, you should make it clear to the wife. It's not as if she's going to be happy by the news."
Tao Mo's cheeks were slightly red and she smiled a little drunkenly, "It's not like anyone either."
Master Jin said: You smile clearly because you have a sweetheart, but you don't know whose young lady is. It's so hard to say.
Gu She finished his cup of tea and lazily got up.
Tao Mo stood up after him, his eyes full of disappointment, "You're leaving too?"
Gu She: "Hmm."
"You're going home?"
"You got something you want to say?" A gleam of light flashed in Gu She's eyes.
Tao Mo plucked up his courage and said, "I'd like to buy you dinner, I wonder if you're willing to show your face?"
Master Jin sighed. I've never even had a meal from him!
"Is there something you want to say?" Gu She still insisted on those two words.
Tao Mo racked his brain and still shook his head.
Gu She frowned slightly, seeming to be somewhat disappointed, shook his head, turned around and left.
Tao Mo ghostly followed behind him and left the mansion together driven by Gu Xiaojia
The carriage was blocking the gate with a big grin.
Seeing Gu She into the carriage, Tao Mo's heart snapped and said, "Can you give me a ride?"
"Young master!" Hao Guozi's sharp voice came from behind Gu She's carriage.
Gu She put down the curtain with an expressionless face.
Gu Xiaojia mockingly cast a glance at him, then drove off.
Hao Guozi waited for them to go away, before the carriage was rushed over, mouth still indignant, "I also do not know whose carriage that was, such bullying, the whole street was blocked by them."
Tao Mo lost his mind and got into the carriage and Master Jin followed him puzzled.
The carriage traveled for some time before Master Jin opened his mouth and said, "Does his excellency want to collect Gu She for their own use?"
He had originally thought that Tao Mo was trying to ride on Mr. Yichui's boat on this dock, but at the moment, it seemed that he was far more interested in Gu She. Could it be that he had already seen that Mr. Yichui was already out of the picture in the lawmen scenery, and that the person who was really in charge of the Yichui School and the Yichui Faction now was Gu She?
If this is the case, then this new county master is too terrifying shrewd. Not only is the response to the answer first-class, but also the sight of the face of the person is extremely accurate. It's a good thing he's a magistrate and not a lawyer, otherwise he'd have a headache again.
Tao Mo was in a trance and jumped up when he heard the word "collect" and said with a red face: "Collect? Where did I say to collect?"
Master Jin looked at him suspiciously.
Tao Mo's voice trailed off, "How can I collect him."
There seems to be a bit of self-knowledge left. Master Jin nodded.
Afterwards, Hao Guozi sent him back to his home and then to the court without mentioning it.
Early morning, foggy days.
Tao Mo was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. He was able to get out of the comforter and open the door with his clothes on, and then he saw Hao Guozi shivering on both legs with a hellish expression, Come out, someone is dead!
Tao Mo was startled, "Who was murdered?"
Hao Guozi froze, and it took a long time before she remembered, "The Tong Family, Miss Tong... She hanged herself!"
