Chapter 83 - First to second
First to second
Tao Mo was stunned. He felt wronged and sad. Gu She obviously changed his mind not because of his words, but because of Gu Xiaojia’s words. The words of excuse that overflowed into his throat shrank back to Gu She’s cold face, leaving only his mouth full of bitterness. He lowered his head, turned slowly, and shrugged his shoulders and walked out.
Gu Xiaojia was complacent, but Gu She said indifferently: “You don’t have to wait outside tonight.”
Gu Xiaojia stunned: “Where do I sleep?”
Gu Shedao: “The inn always has a kitchen.”
Gu Xiaojia: “…” he finally knows what it means to be smug, and what it means to lift a stone and hit his feet.
Not long afterwards, there were chaotic and depressing footsteps approaching outside.
Gu She rallied, and said to the poor Gu Xiaojia beside the bed, “Help me get up.”
Gu Xiaojia’s eyes widened, “Son, your injury is not good.”
Gu She said: “I didn’t hurt my head.”
Seeing that his face was unpleasant, Gu Xiaojia had to help him sit down on his knees, watching Gu She’s brows wrinkled with pain, and he also felt sad in his heart, even more disgusted with Tao Mo.
Gu She finally put one foot down with Gu Xiaojia’s support, and listened to the timid knock on the door outside.
“Wait.” His voice was weak and trembling with imperceptibility.
Gu Xiaojia was irritated, but he didn’t dare to be arrogant. He could only shout at the door: “Wait!”
There was no sound outside.
After a while, Gu She stood at the head of the bed and put on his coat.
Gu Xiaojia watched Gu She’s forehead cold and sweating, and his face was pale and bloodless, whispering: “Son, let’s see him.”
Gu She took a breath and said, “When did I say that I haven’t counted?”
Gu Xiaojia sighed silently, cursing Tao Mo over and over again in his heart, before accusing him to open the door.
Opened the door, standing at the front was not Tao Mo, but Liu Chongpin. Tao Mo was pulled by Master Yao and stood in the last row, showing only half of his shoulders. In such a comparison, Gu Xiaojia thought Tao Mo was cute again, and others looked even more abominable.
“In the city of Xiaqin, Liu Chongpin has admired Gu Gongzi’s talent for a long time, and I have come to see you.” Liu Chongpin said, and took a deep look at Gu Xiaojia.
Gu Xiaojia rolled his eyes, letting himself sideways, and shouted deliberately in the direction of Tao Mo: “Master Tao?”
Tao Mo struggling to disengage the people who were hanging in the doorway and squeezed forward. Despite his lack of strength, Liu Chongpin was squeezed aside by him.
“I’m here.” Tao Mo opened his eyes and looked at Gu Xiaojia.
Gu Xiaojia turned his head to look at Gu She, and when Gu She lay down on his side again, he nodded at himself against the pillow, and then said loosely, “Please come in.”
Tao Mo walked in first, looked at Gu She up and down several times, and made sure he was not unwell before turning away.
When others saw Gu She, they all looked at it again and again, and saw that he was still lying on the bed with a calm expression, which was hard to conceal his demeanor, and suddenly he broke his heart into three points.
Gu She said indifferently: “Gu Mou’s body is embarrassed, he can’t return the salute, and he hopes to forgive him.”
The Confucians asked why this happened. Master Yao didn’t mention Gu She’s injury when he invited them, so they only thought he was sick.
Gu Shedao: “Qincheng Zhifu’s hospitality is all right.”
His words were not flattered, but Master Yao listened in a panic, knowing that this Liangzi was not easy to resolve.
The Confucians were surprised for a while, but they all knew how to protect themselves, so they were surprised, but nobody asked any more.
Gu She turned his eyes and fell on Liu Chongpin, “Your surname Liu?”
When Liu Chongpin saw him who did not ask, he asked himself alone, and looked at him differently. He felt excited for a while, but said quietly on the surface: “Under Liu Chongpin.”
Gu Shedao: “Why make a living?”
Liu Chongpin was amazed, and quickly replied: “The life of poetry and painting is over.”
The Confucianists who were present knew his character, and he disregarded his pretentious answer, showing a disdainful expression on his face.
Gu She raised her eyebrows and said, “Oh? How much is your poem?”
Liu Chongpin said with a smile: “Dare you dare to sell?”
“If you don’t buy or sell, how can you survive with poetry and painting?” Gu She asked leisurely, but poked Liu Chongpin’s heart and lungs.
Where can Liu Chongpin say that he is relying on his mother and stepfather all day long, so he vaguely said: “Poetry and painting are my favorite. I can be accompanied by poetry and painting, and the thick tea and light rice are also sweet.”
This time Gu Xiaojia said, Gu Xiaojia had made his intention clear, and sneered: “Crude tea and light rice also have to be replaced by Brother Kong Fang. They can’t sell poems and paintings, and don’t do anything other than poetry and painting. Where did Brother Kong Fang come from? , Or begging along the street?”
He spoke unintentional words, but he heard Liu Chongpin’s ears as he wished, and thought that his deeds were known to them, and his heart was embarrassed and uneasy. His face was blue and white, interlaced, and Rao was his ordinary. His tongue is like a spring, and he is speechless at this time.
Daru originally came from the name of Gu Guxian. He didn’t want Gu She to be embarrassed and ill in bed. He thought that he had nothing to gain from this trip. . They were already disgusted with Liu Chongpin, but it was only because of their face, and they could not export their lessons because of their identity. Now when Gu Gu master and servant make trouble for him, they all have a kind of wickedness in their hearts, and their disappointment has been diluted.
One of the great Confucianism: “I heard that Gu Gongzi’s paintings and calligraphy are both unique, but very few works have been handed down. I had the honour of seeing a picture of visiting Zhongling Temple in late autumn. I still remember it today. I wonder if I have the honor to see the masterpiece again today?”
Gu She looked up at him.
The great Confucian palpitated. Obviously standing with him lying down, it is myself who dominates, how can there be an illusion of being overlooked?
“I have never been to Zhongling Temple.” Gu She said slowly.
Daru stunned: “So how do you paint?”
Gu She said: “I have never done it.”
Daru froze. He visited the Zhongling Temple for a few years at the end of autumn for Gu Xian. He didn’t want to be fake? “This is impossible. If that person has such an accomplishment, why not imitate the name of others?”
Gu She asked, “How about painting?”
Da Ru Dao: “This painting is one of the treasures of Ming Jing Zhai’s town shop. It is still in the shop.” He was anxious and wanted to ask Gu She to check it out together, but when Gu She was lying in bed, he remembered that he was unwell , Very hesitant.
Gu She said to Gu Xiaojia: “You follow him. See if it is Yue Ling or Zhang Zishu.”
Gu Xiaojia should say: “Yes.”
Da Ru asked: “Who are Yue Ling and Zhang Zishu?”
Gu Shedao: “Living people.”
Daru touched a soft nail and dared not say anything.
Gu She closed her eyes and showed fatigue.
The Confucians are all discerning people, and they leave at once. The Confucian scholar who asked for painting before did not forget to pull Gu Xiaojia away.
Gu Xiaojia was not at ease. Later, when he saw Tao Mo taking a step forward, he automatically filled the position of his station, and then he reluctantly left.
Liu Chongpin and Master Yao stayed behind.
Master Yao formally apologized formally and explained the “inadvertent loss” of Zhifu, and sincerely asked Gu She for forgiveness.
Gu She closed her eyes and ignored them.
Liu Chongpin Shi just touched his nose, and he still remembered his hatred, but he didn’t want to miss such a great opportunity, and he finally made a face, deliberately walked two steps forward, and stopped a step away from Gu Sheta. , Said softly: “Can Gu Gongzi have paintings? Can you let Xiaosheng look?”
Gu She opened his eyes.
Liu Chongpin was ecstatic.
“Why should I show you my paintings?” Gu She asked.
Liu Chongpin was stunned, but he had a thick skin, and he quickly regained his spirit: “I have been admiring Gu Gongzi for a long time, and my heart has been able to show the sun and the moon. Does Gu Gongzi believe me?” Very sincere, Ren Gu shot iron stone heart, will also move a little. Who knows that Gu She is not only a stone heart, but also a stone heart that is stiffer than iron and harder than stone. He didn’t even blink his eyelids and said, “I just came here to admire me.”
Master Yao was a spectator and saw that Liu Chongpin’s repeated defeats not only pleased Gu She, but also annoyed him, and hurriedly said: “Gu Gongzi’s injury has not healed, and should not be too laborious. Liu Gongzi, let’s visit again in another day.”
How could Master Liu Chongpin not know what Master Yao saw? He went downhill on the donkey: “Please also ask Master Gu to recuperate and Chongpin to say goodbye.” He was deeply stern, with a pious attitude, such as enshrining gods.
However, Gu She closed her eyes ignorantly.
Tao Mo was busy sending the two out.
To the corridor, Master Yao suddenly stopped and turned to Tao Mo: “Master Tao, what happened that day is really a misunderstanding. Please also ask Master Tao to have a large amount, but forgiveness is one.”
Tao Mo said: “What the Governor Zhifu said is true, it was my negligence of duty, and I should ask the Lord Zhifu to forgive, but this is the only one.”
Master Yao thought he was ironic. He suddenly felt like he was eating a fly, and he laughed for a long time: “The past is over, why should Master Tao be grudged? It’s even a troubleless accident for Gu Gongzi… Alas, please ask Master Tao to speak for you.” He said, taking out a bag of things from his sleeve.
Tao Mo suddenly stepped back two steps and said: “It’s not too early, please let them go.”
Master Yao’s things were exposed in mid-air. In the end, he experienced strong winds and waves, and soon he converged his expression, put away his things without changing his face, and followed the arch of the hand: “Thank you, Master Tao, for sending me away.”
Tao Mo listened to their footsteps walking further and further, relieved, and turned to look back at the shooting room.
Gu She is trying to sit up.
Seeing his hard work, Tao Mo immediately stepped forward to support him, worrying: “What do you want, I will take it for you.”
“Undressing.” Gu shot.
Tao Mo noticed that he was wearing a coat just now. He remembered that he had been reluctant to see himself before. Presumably, the gang of Confucians were very reluctant. He felt more guilty in his heart and whispered: “I help you.”
Gu She raised his arm.
Tao Mo took off his clothes lightly for him, held his arm down again, then hung the clothes back, looked back, Gu She had adjusted his posture, turned his head inward, and ignored him.
“Do you… hurt?” Tao Mo asked.
Gu Sheliang has not answered for a long time.
Tao Mo asked again: “It hurts?”
“I’m sleepy.” Gu shot.
Tao Mo helped him cover the quilt. “You rest, I am guarding outside. Just call me.” Gu Xiaojia was invited by them to see the painting, and Gu She had no one to call, so he stayed.
“No,” Gu shot. “He will be back soon.”
Tao Mo insisted: “I will leave when he comes back.”
Gu She turned his head and looked at him.
If it were changed to the past, Tao Mo would surely be defeated in his eyes. But at this moment, Gu She was lying on the bed, her look was still the same, but she was a little less imposing, making Tao Mo’s courage more powerful. He said: “If you don’t want me to be in the outside, I will be waiting at the door. I can hear it.”
Gu She’s eyes gradually became sharp.
Tao Mofei quickly retreated to the door and closed the door from the outside.
