Love is More than a Word, Chapter 26: Misfortunes come in pairs (8)...

Lao Tao and Tao Mo have been together for many years, never separated, this parting, inevitably difficult to part with.


The two men spent a full burn of incense urging each other. After that, Lao Tao was still thinking twice on the road.

Tao Mo said, "This is our first parting since Lao Tao came to my house. Without him, there might not be the person I am today."

Mu Chun said, "It is good for people to be attached to each other, but if we just rely on one another, we may end up in a bad situation."

Tao Mo stifled, ''I know. I will try my best to be a good officer and not disappoint Lao Tao's expectations of me."

Mu Chun smiled inarticulately.

Master Jin suddenly hurriedly ran over.

Tao Mo said, "Master Jin, are you coming to see Lao Tao off too?"

Master Jin was dumbfounded by his words, "Sending Lao Tao?"

Without waiting for Tao Mo to open his mouth, Mu Chun took the topic over and said, "This is Master Jin of the Criminal Law Master?"

Master Jin froze again, "This one is... "

"I'm Mu Chun." Mu Chun clasped his fist and said, "I wonder what Master Jin is in a hurry to say?"

Master Jin Shi reacted and busily said, ''The Qiu Family's people fought with the Liang Family's people. It's happening in front of Tong House now."

Tao Mo puzzled, ''Who is the Qiu Family? Who is the Liang Family again?"

Master Jin waved his hand and said, "I'll go into detail on the way."

Due to the large number of people riding in the carriage, Hao Guozi had specially driven the carriage that Lao Tao insisted on leaving behind.

Tao Mo, Mu Chun and Master Jin got on the carriage one after the other.

Master Jin breathed a sigh of relief before they came together, ''This The Second Young Miss Qiu of the Qiu Family and Liang Wenwu of the Liang Family had made a marriage contract two years ago, with Hong Geng as witness. The later Liang family moved away and promised to marry the Second Young Miss Qiu within two years. But two years have passed and the Liang family red palanquin has not yet arrived. It was just now that the youngest son of the Qiu family had a gambling debt and was so worried that the Second Elder of the Qiu family decided to grant Miss Qiu to Master Tong, who was going to take her as a concubine."

Tao Mo exclaimed in surprise, "Master Tong?"

Master Jin nodded, "Exactly Tong Yinghong's father."

Tao Mo said, "But didn't he already have Mrs. Tong?"

"This is originally a private matter for the Tong Family, I should not discuss it in private," Master Jin said after a pause, "But since the Tong Family asked, I will naturally know all about it. Then Master and Mrs. Tong have been sulking since the passing of Miss Tong. The only heir of the Tong Family hanged herself and died, so Master Tong was tempted to marry again. I've heard that there is no shortage of matchmakers, and that they are to be carried in through the main gate."

Mu Chun said, "But that Liang family got the news and got involved?"

Master Jin nodded and said, ''Exactly. I don't know how the Liang family got the news, but they rushed to intercept the Qiu Family at the door while they were discussing the matter at the Tong residence, causing all three families to become disgraced in a shout and fights."

Tao Mo said, "Where's Clerk Cui?"




Master Jin said, "As soon as he got the news, he rushed there with the officers."

Tao Mo was only slightly relieved.

By the door of the Tong Family, the Qiu family had gone back. After all, they are women, if it is too much, the man's reputation is nothing, and the woman's reputation will be greatly damaged if they are caught in a brawl.

The Liang was still standing at the entrance of the Tong Family, looking at their faces, still unconvinced.

Seeing Tao Mo get out of the car, Cui Jiong hastily walked over and said, "Your Excellency."

Tao Mo always felt that the way he looked at himself today seemed to be different from the past, but he couldn't tell what was different, so he could only blame himself for being too distracted. "What did the Liang family say?"

Cui Jiong said, "The Liang family wants the Qiu family to keep their daughter for another year."

"Stay for another year?" Thinking of Tong Yinghong, Tao Mo asked, "Do you know the age of the second Miss Qiu family?"

Cui Jiong said, "Nineteen."

Tao Mo frowned, "Not young indeed."

Cui Jiong said, ''That's why that Qiu Family won't agree to anything. They said that unless the Liang family agreed to the marriage within three days, the marriage contract would be annulled on that day as promised."

Mu Chun asked, "Do you know why the Liang Family delayed this marriage for a year?"

Cui Jiong glanced at him, saw that he was of extraordinary thi, and came with Tao Mo before replying, "The Liang family said that Liang Wenwu is too old for marriage this year."

Tao Mo said, "Just this reason?"

Seeing that he didn't think so, Cui Jiong said, "Quite a few people in the Tangyang County are quite convinced."

Mu Chun laughed and relieved himself, "I believe it too."

"Oh? Where are you from?" Cui Jiong asked while taking the opportunity.

Mu Chun said: "I'm from the same village as Master Tao."

Tao Mo was surprised, "Really?"

Mu Chun did not move, "Of course. Huh? This is Master Tong?"

Tao Mo and Cui Jiong turned back at the same time, and sure enough, they saw Master Tong come out from inside.

After the incident of Tong Yinghong, Old Master Tong was disgusted with the police officers to the county officials, not to mention that the incident happened in front of his house, very disgraceful, so although the person came out, he had a black face full of disdain.

Knowing the relationship between the Tong Family and Mr. Yichui, Cui Jiong was busy smiling and said, "Master Tong, I don't want to cause you troubles I've alarmed you."

Old Master Tong said, "Good talk, good talk. I'm sorry, but did you all get disturbed by the little matter?"

Cui Jiong said, "Why is Master Tong's saying that? What does this have to do with you? But it is something that just happened to happen on your doorstep."

The corners of Old Master Tong's mouth finally rose a few points, "Then I'll ask clerk Cui to take care of it."

"Definitely." Cui Jiong was too busy to oblige.

Seeing Tao Mo, Master Tong hesitated, but still walked over and said, "Master Tao."

"Old Master Tong." Tao Mo asked openly, "Is Master Tong really going to marry the Second Young Miss Qiu?"

Master Tong's face, which had just relaxed, pulled down at once and said in a hushed voice, "I wonder what Master Tong means by this?"

When Mu Chun heard about Tao Mo's deeds before, he thought the rumors were exaggerated, but now he sees them with his own eyes, but he was amazed. In a word, the only person he knew who could match him in the bluntness was the Brilliant Sect Master. But it was rare that he himself was oblivious.




Tao Mo said, "There is only one The Second Young Miss Qiu, she cannot be granted to two families, I want to ask about the two families before making a decision."

"Don't dare bother my lord." Master Tong said stiffly, "We will settle this matter ourselves."

"Who said not to bother your lordship?" the Liang Family man came out alone, "I was going to take this to court and ask the County Master to decide!"

Master Tong frowned. At this juncture, he does not want to cause any more trouble to himself.

Down the alley, came the sound of bone rolling.

Cui Jiong, who was arguing with the Liang family, suddenly ran over, tugged on Tao Mo's sleeve, and whispered, "It's the Yang Family's carriage."

"Yang Family?" Tao Mo didn't react for a moment.

"Mr. Yichui." Cui Jiong pressed his voice down.

Tao Mo dawned. Mr. Yichui's daughter's surname is Yang, and Mr. Yichui's surname is also Yang, so of course it makes sense.

The carriage stopped and from the carriage someone got out.

It's just that he didn't see him for a day, but Tao Mo looked at him with a feeling of pining for him.

Gu She also saw him, and his gaze swept over Mu Chun extremely quickly before finally landing on Old Master Tong's body.

Master Tong now sees that Gu She came and he knew this was going to be even more of a headache, and because he dares not offend, he has to make a smile and welcome him. "Young Master Gu. "

Gu She said, "Master Mistress heard that you were taking a concubine and specifically asked me to send a few things over."

Master Tong knew that his sister's personality was so rude that he was afraid that she would bring something up to make it more difficult for him to step down, so he said, "Well, why don't you go inside?"

Gu She nodded and said, “Okay.”

"Young Master, wait for me." Gu Xiaojia jumped out of the carriage and said with a sad face, "What should we do with the tiger whip and the bullwhip in this carriage?"

Gu She said, "Young heard Master Tong, let’s go inside and talk."

Master Tong's old face became rose red. Does this even need to go inside and say it? Everything was clear in that shout he had just made. [1] Tiger whip and bullwhip are soups which apparently according to TCM increases libido.

Seeing Tao Mo's gaze tighten as Gu She and Master Tong entered, Mu Chun suggested, "Why don't we go in and listen to what they have to say as well?"

"We are uninvited... "

"No questions have been asked so we go in for that." Mu Chun helped him make good excuses.




Tao Mo immediately nodded his head and said, "It should be." He lifted his foot to go, but the Liang family man stopped him, "Your Excellency!"
