Love is More Than a Word - Chapter 87
First to sixth
Tao Mo’s thigh trembled, and old Tao’s hand slipped and fell empty.
“Sorry.” Tao Mo whispered.
The old Tao continued to massage as if nothing had happened, “Young Master treats everything with a normal heart, and he doesn’t have to be pretentious.”
Tao Mo put his hands on both sides of the body, carefully saying: “Old Tao, don’t you blame me?”
Tao Tao said: “If I blame you, can Master change it?”
Tao Mo opened his mouth and bowed his head: “I will endure as much as possible.” After his father died, he regarded old Tao and Hao Guoguo as relatives.
Old Tao’s lips twitched slightly, “Man, big husband, can you be patient?”
Tao Mo was stunned.
Lao Tao let go of his hand, patted the knee that was pressed red, helped him to put his trouser legs down, packed up the medicine, and stood up and said, “Fuck. Life is alive, it is rare to be sober and confused.”
Tao Mo was at a loss, “It’s rare to be sober, and also confused?”
Old Tao said: “Sober in emotions, confused in the world, it might be a good thing.”
Tao Mo detailed this sentence three times before suddenly saying: “You, are you against it?”
“Gu She, Gu Xianzhi,” Lao Tao sighed softly and smiled, “Such a person should have made men and women all over the world.”
Tao Mo smirked first, then said sadly: “Yes. He should have been the world.”
Tao Tao said: “No one should be a world except for the emperor who is the world today, who should be dedicated and dedicated to the world.”
Tao Mo was taken aback. For the first time, he heard Lao Tao say such a big deal.
Tao Tao said: “Isn’t it? The emperor sits in the world, why not bear the world?”
Tao Mo shook his head and said, “I don’t understand.”
“If you don’t understand, don’t understand.” Old Tao said, “You just have to remember that many impossible things in this world are not difficult to achieve by themselves, but have been rejected before they are realized.”
Tao Mo blinked his eyes. Although he failed to comprehend what he said in a quarter of an hour, he already firmly remembered this sentence in his heart.
Lao Tao heard footsteps and patted his belly, saying: “Speaking, I’m hungry.”
Hao Guoguo smiled and walked in with the tray, “Sweet and sour today…Ah!”
Lao Tao looked at the food smashed on the ground and Hao Guoguo who was thrown into the body, and slowly took out the wound medicine from his arms, appeasing him: “It’s okay, it’s not used up yet.”
Turning back to the first day of Yangxian County, Tao Mo was very busy and was busy dealing with Yamen official business without leaving home.
On the second day, Tao Mo was still very busy and did not leave home.
On the third day, do not leave the house.
On the fourth day, not out.
On the fifth day, no.
…
On the eighth day, Master Jin was idle and took part of the copy to the yard to dry.
Tao Mo sat on the stone bench, staring at the sky in a daze.
“Don’t the family go out?” he asked casually.
Tao Mo replied subconsciously: “I am busy.”
“What are you busy with?” Master Jin was very guilty. Unexpectedly, when the owner was busy, he was too busy to doze off.
“Busy at Yamen official business.”
Master Jin asked softly, “What official business?” He was very eager to know what other business he had to deal with besides the ones he handled!
“Hoarded…” Tao Mo snapped back to look at Master Jin, his face flushed red, “No, no official duties.”
Master Jin sat down opposite him, “Did your family have something to do?”
Tao Mogan smiled and shook his head.
“If the Dong family wants to visit Master Gu, just go.” Master Jin said, “You don’t have to look forward and look back.” Gu She’s identity background is that he put it bluntly. He was somewhat guilty when he saw Tao Mo’s distress.
“How do you know…” Tao Mo looked at him blushing. Could it be that his whole thing was known to the entire Yamen?
Master Jin said: “Although Gu Gongzi is the son of Gu Xiang, he is incompetent, but he is only a commoner. Moreover, Gu Xiangzi has high weight and is thousands of miles away from Tanyang County.
Tao Mo realized that he had diverged, and said, “I am not worried about this.”
Master Jin raised his eyebrows and said, “The owner is worried that he will cause trouble to his son? This is not to worry about. The punishment of Zhifu Yamen can not be repeated. I think that Zhifu eats the ambitious leopard gall and will never move his son. Sweat. Not only that, but I am afraid that if someone wants to move his son, he will not follow.” If Gu Xiang’s son had something wrong on his site, he would not be able to walk around.
Tao Modao: “It’s not this.”
Rao is Master Jin’s self-proclaimed wisdom, and he can’t guess his thoughts. “What’s the worry about the owner?” If you change to ordinary people and have such an opportunity to associate with Gu Xianzhi in front of your eyes, I am afraid that you will pass by with a smile. Where else will you be in a dilemma?
Tao Mo sighed: “I just can’t pass my level.”
The closer he is to Gu She, the more he is attracted to him. As Lao Tao said, men and women in the world will rush to him, but he is nothing more than a drop in the sea of the vast sea. Talentless, still a man. Just thinking about it, it felt dim and dark, with no hope at all.
I didn’t know that Gu She was Gu Xianzhi before, he could still deceive himself, and it was muddled. Now I know that this barrier of thousands of mountains and rivers is really between two people. Even though Lao Tao said that he was not totally hopeless, he did not have to be pretentious, but in his view, how is this hope different from the sea?
…
That being the case, he might as well break this delusion early, but it is worse than breaking the liver and intestines in the future.
“Dongjia?!” Master Jin watched in shock as two lines of tears fell from Tao Mo’s eyes.
“What are you doing?” Hao Guozi jumped out of nowhere, staring at Master Jin with a wary face.
Master Jin said innocently: “I did nothing.”
Tao Mo wiped his tears, “I don’t do Master’s business.”
Hao Guoguo said: “What did the young master cry?”
Tao Mo covered his face, and after a while he was dull and said: “I just wanted to understand something.” It turned out that he was broken for this moment, but he was delusional and tried to realize that it was broken.
After sending someone to the Yamen for a few days, he said that Tao Mo was busy with his official duties. When he had no time for him, Gu Gu heard Gu Xiaojia sneer again and again. So when he watched Tao Mo carrying things to the door, he originally wanted to ridicule a few words, but when he approached and found that his two eyes were red and swollen, he was startled: “What really happened to Yamen?”
Tao Mo was stunned, and said, “No.” After all, he couldn’t hold back his desire, knowing that he was sinking deeper and deeper, and he couldn’t help watching him fall.
In this way, he turned back Gu Xiaojia full of complaints. Gu Xiaojia reached out to take the gift, gave it to the porter without looking, and turned to walk in: “How much can you earn in Yamen? What do you do with some useless things? Anyway, everything in our mansion is.”
Tao Mo knew that his mouth was hard and soft, and he followed him silently without turning back.
Knowing that Gu shot before, Gu Xiaojia slowed down and gently tapped on the door twice. When there was no movement, he crept through the door and then waved to Tao Mo after a while.
Tao Mo subconsciously lowered his pace.
Gu Xiaojia lowered his voice and said: “The son is in the nap, you are waiting outside. I’ll go and decoction the son.” He has always done it himself with Gu She.
Tao Mo nodded.
Gu Xiaojia went out gently and closed the door.
Tao Mo stood in the outer room for a while, after all, he couldn’t help but miss it, and quietly entered the inner room.
The bed fell and only the outline inside could be seen vaguely.
Tao Mo found a place facing the bed and sat down on the table, sniffing the faint orchid, and the corner of his mouth bent to satisfy the arc.
If he lives like the present, and Gu She is under the same roof, smelling the same fragrance, even if the curtain is covered, he will be infinitely happy to see the other party.
“water.”
A word lightly summoned his mind from a distant future.
Tao Mo stood up in shock, poured water in a panic, then walked to the bed and raised the bed curtain.
Gu She is still sleeping on his stomach. The room was sultry, his forehead and his face sweating thinly, his hair sticking to his face, a different kind of laziness.
“Be careful.” Tao Mo lowered the cup.
Hearing his voice, Gu She opened his eyes.
“Drink water.” Tao Mo moved the cup closer.
Gu She propped up the bed with both hands, slowly knelt and sat up, took the tea cup from his hand, took a few sips, and said, “Thank you.”
Tao Mo froze, took the cup, and said in a hurry: “You’re welcome.”
Gu She lay sideways.
Tao Mo took the initiative to help him tuck the quilt.
Gu She is busy with him, “Does Yamen have a tricky case?”
“No.” Tao Mo said softly: “You can rest in peace.”
Gu She seemed to laugh non-smilingly: “I am not everyone in the Yamen. Does the Yamen have any troublesome cases and does it matter if I rest in peace?”
Tao Mo was suffocated and silent for a while before whispering: “I have been confused by something for the past few days.”
“Let’s listen.” Gu She has a different passion for confusion.
Tao Mo stammered: “Things.”
Gu She raised her eyebrows.
Tao Mo didn’t dare to look at him, for fear that the secret would leak out of his face.
Gu Shedao: “Have you practiced the word?”
Tao Mo’s head dipped even lower, and he shook his head gently.
“Go to the study to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstones, practice here.” Gu She said.
“Okay.” Tao Mofei escaped the door like a sigh of relief while standing in the corridor. Ever since he saw the unseemly things in his heart, he felt that he couldn’t raise his head in front of Gu She.
Gu She helped him this way, but he had such thoughts about him. In case Gu She learns, he must be very angry, right? After all, not every man can accept another man’s. He remembered the rain, even though he had been listed in Qunxianglou for many years, there was still a corner in his heart with a desire to marry a wife and have children.
He dragged his feet to the study, holding a pen, ink, inkstone, and slowly rubbing back to the shooting room.
The sweat on Gu She’s face had been wiped dry, and she was leaning on the cushion to read a book. When he saw him come in, she said, “Remember the words taught that day?”
“Remember.” Tao Mo put the paper in, polished the ink, and dropped the pen.
The table is higher than the bed. Gu She can only squint.
Tao Mo wrote slowly, his dangling hands shook slightly, and he stopped for a long time.
“Continue.” Gu She looked at the book without looking up.
“Yes.” Tao Mo looked at the twisted words and felt terrible. He continued with a little ink.
Gu She glanced at him and saw that he looked focused, and then he was wretched and confused again, before turning his attention back to the book in his hand.
About a joss stick.
Gu Xiaojia entered the door holding the medicine bowl. When Gu She woke up, he put the medicine bowl down and said, “Master, I will wait for you to wash.”
Tao Mo just realized that he was patronizing the calligraphy and forgot Gu Gu, and hurriedly said, “I’m coming.”
Gu Xiaojia glared at him strangely, “This is my son, what is Mr. Tao active?”
Tao Mo language stopper.
Gu Xiaojia waited for Gu She to finish washing and handed over the medicine bowl, “Please use it, son.”
Gu She frowned.
Tao Modao: “There are preserves in what I brought today.”
Gu Xiaojiatou did not reply: “The son does not like to eat preserves.”
Unexpectedly, Gu shot: “Go and get it.”
“Ah? Oh.” Gu Xiaojia ran out to get it.
Tao Mo was afraid that Gu She was holding the bowl hard, and took the initiative to take it over.
“In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t eat,” Gu said.
Tao Mo said: “My father used to say that good medicine is bitter, and it will be better if you drink it.”
Gu Shedao said: “It is a three-point medicine, not all bitter medicine is a good medicine.”
Tao Modao: “There will always be nothing wrong with the doctor.”
“If doctors are right, there will be no quacks in this world.”
Tao Mo felt Gu She’s displeasure and whispered: “Wouldn’t you like to take medicine?”
“Does anyone in this world like to drink medicine?” Gu She asked back.
Tao Modao: “I just think that if it is good for the body, it should still be drunk.”
Gu She said: “Why don’t you drink it for me?”
Tao Mo sighed in a low voice, “If you can drink it for you, even if I were asked to drink ten bowls instead of yours, I would be willing.” He even wished he could stand up for him. Even if ten boards are used instead of his one.
He listened to Gu She for a long time without talking. He could not help raising his head, but found that the other party was looking at him silently.
“What, what?” Tao Mo asked humbly.
Gu She lowered her eyes and said lightly: “Nothing.”
Gu Xiaojia ran back with the preserves, the medicine was not cold.
Gu She drank in one breath, took a piece of preserved fruit in his mouth, and continued to read.
Gu Xiaojia looked back at Tao Mo, who was intensively practicing words, and suddenly felt that he was the only superfluous person in the room.
Since that day, Tao Mo will have two hours every day to go to Gu Mansion. Sometimes it’s word practice, sometimes it’s chess.
Gu She’s injuries were better day by day. Later, she was able to sit.
But life is not everything.
At least for Tao Mo, there was something in front of him that caused him a headache.
The matchmaker Lai was in the hall and talked to Tao Mo incessantly about the benefits of Miss Xu’s family. This has been the second matchmaker in three days. Tao Mo thought that he was talented and disgraceful. Even the county magistrate had donated money. It was really not worth the favor of any lady. How could the Miss Xu family rely on him.
Tao Mo looked at Lao Tao as if to ask for help.
Lao Tao said meaningfully: “This is a lifelong event, and it is better for the young master to decide for himself.”
Tao Mo sighed and said to the matchmaker: “Thank you Ms. Xu for your favor. It’s just that I haven’t thought of getting married yet, so…”
The matchmaker smiled and said, “There is nothing for the time being and it will not be there in the future. Adults can make a marriage contract with Miss Xu first, and later when the adults want to become a family, they will become a family again.”
“Ah?” Tao Mo looked at Lao Tao again.
Lao Tao looked up at the roof.
Tao Mo embarrassed and said: “This, this, how dare I delay Miss Xu’s family?”
The matchmaker said: “Miss Xu’s family secretly promised her since she heard the deeds of the adult, and she also told Master Xu to not marry him.”
Tao Mo’s forehead was cold with sweat.
