Love is More Than a Word

The two returned to the county government office. Tao Mo was so worried that he didn’t mention it when he returned to his room. However, he said that all the servants were summoned in the middle of the night, and another count was counted. Sure enough, there was one little servant. He knew that it must be the painter, so he personally took out the contract signed by the person and put it in his arms.

On the following day, when Tao Tao knocked on Tao Mo’s door early in the morning, he saw that he had already gotten up and couldn’t help wondering: “Why did the young master get up early?”

Tao Modao: “Go out to visit friends.”

“Isn’t that Lu Gongzi?” They first arrived, barely only Lu Zhenxue had a tea friendship.

Tao Modao: “No, I want to visit Mr. Hammer.”

The old Tao was shocked and immediately said with joy: “The young master went to think of a place with me.”

Tao Mo stunned: “How do you want to…”

“Mr. Hammer and Mr. Lin Zhengyong are local people of great prestige. We first came to talk about Yang County, and we should meet.” He knew that Qianglong was hard to crush the snake. In the officialdom, there are often people with strong backgrounds who come to the local government to become officials, which shows the importance of local connections. His experience at Mingcuiju last night made him realize how huge the power of the local lawyers was. Not only was he proud of the public hall, but even the people talked about it and deeply admired it. Such people can never offend them.

“Now that is the case, let’s prepare two gifts to set off,” Tao Mo urged.

Tao Tao said: “Wait. What kind of gift does the young master want to buy?”

Tao Mo was stumped by a sentence.

He thought for a while and said: “In the past, my father’s friends in the business field were all managed by you, never made mistakes, and are still the same today.”

Tao Tao said: “Young Master Miao Zan. When the old man sent me a gift every time, he inquired about the other party’s preferences in advance, and then chose what he liked. But now I know nothing about Mr. Hammer and Mr. Lin Zhengyong.” He saw Tao Mo’s expression was loose, and he said, “The gift-giving can be big or small. The small can be regarded as nothing, and the shelved. The big one is offensive and taboo, turning his face into hatred.”

Tao Mo heard it thrillingly, “How do I investigate?”

“They are local celebrities, and the locals naturally know it.” Old Tao said, “But ordinary people only know one, not the other. Even if they know it, they may not know it in detail. I think it’s best to ask a local master , There is a local master who is here to make suggestions, and the young master will naturally be like a fish.”

Tao Modao: “It’s better, but I don’t know if the remaining money is enough?”

Tao Tao said: “Master, rest assured, how much money, where should I spend, I know, I will never let my family cook without rice.”

Tao Mo nodded, “Then please please.”

“Young Master has heard the story of Mao Gu.”

“Have heard.” Tao Mo just got through. “Who do you want me to invite?”

“Master Jin.”

Tao Mo was stunned. “Isn’t he unwilling to be?”

Tao Tao said: “I have inquired that this master Jin is very famous in the local area. He has followed three masters before and after, and has very rich experience.”

Tao Modao: “If that is the case, why would he not stay and help me?”

Tao Tao said: “Master Jin is also said to have been a litigant, but the word-of-mouth dispute was lost to Mr. Lin Zhengyong, and then he turned into the official. But the scholar’s arrogance and the litigant’s trickiness never let go. You have to worry about going out.”

Tao Mo sighed: “It’s so complicated?”

“On trivial matters, the affairs of the county government and the people are all trivial and thousands of times as trivial. If the young master really wants to be a good official, he must learn to do everything by himself and know the root of everything. This will not disappoint the court. Trust, the love of the people.”

Tao Mo smiled bitterly: “Disappointment? I’m afraid that neither the trust of the court nor the love of the people have the same two things. How can I fail?”

“Since there isn’t, let’s do it.” Lao Tao knew that he had been persuaded, and immediately ordered Hao Guoguo to prepare a sedan chair.

The county official has his own official sedan chair, but there is no bearer. Old Tao had to choose a few young and strong men from the newly bought servants to come out and act.

But lifting the car has the knowledge to lift the car.

If you are familiar with it, you will know it.

From the county government office to Master Jin’s house, there are only two streets, not far away. But when Tao Mo got down from the sedan chair, it seemed that he had been sitting in the sedan chair for a whole year. Not only did his face pale, but also his feet became soft, even he could not stand steadily.

“Master?” Hao Guoguo supported him with both hands, worried.

Old Tao went to post, but learned that Master Jin was attending the Snow Appreciation Conference.

Tanyang County has many lawyers and literati, and naturally there are many parties.

Old Tao thought that he might still meet Lin Zhengyong and Mr. Yi hammer at the meeting. It was exactly what he had done in one fell swoop, and he immediately asked them to hold the Tai’an Academy of Snow Watching.

Speaking of Tai’an College, it is also very famous in the local area, and many Confucian students in the county were formerly from Tai’an College.

When Tao Mo arrived, the door was wide open.

From the door, you can see that Mennett swept a piece of snow out of it. I don’t know who wrote the word “snow” of dragon and phoenix dance, which is very suitable for the scene.

Hao Guoli handed in the post, and the porter quickly reported it.

When Tao Mo walked into the garden, the dean of Taishan Academy had already greeted him personally.

“I don’t want Master Tao to come in person, there will be far-reaching welcomes, and there will be far-reaching welcomes.” The Dean is in his fifties, properly maintained and glowing.

Tao Mo returned to the courtesy and said: “I’m bothering.”

The dean did not want him to have no official shelf, just like an ordinary junior junior, nodded secretly and said: “Just today a lot of local scholars came to enjoy snow poems. .”

“It’s so laborious.” Tao Mo didn’t refuse, and walked to the garden.

In fact, he couldn’t hold back anymore. When he first entered the garden, he saw Gu She sitting in the pavilion, like the moon. There were a lot of people sitting beside him, all around him, with a smile on his face, and he looked very sick and unbearable.

The dean saw him walking towards the pavilion without squinting, and busyly said: “Is the adult cold?”

“Not cold.” Tao Mo stopped even though he didn’t want to.

The dean said: “Although the pavilion is covered, it is leaking from all sides and does not keep you warm. Is it better for adults to sit in the hall?”

Tao Modao: “You don’t have to go to the hall, I just watch the snow in the pavilion.”

The dean thought that all the lawyers sitting in the pavilion were officials. The most annoying thing is the official. You just go up with your eyes, just because you want to come down with a disgraced face.

Where Tao Mo knew his thoughts, and was about to move forward, he was inadvertently blocked by the old Tao, saying, “Master, Master Jin is over there.”

He looked down at Lao Tao’s hand. Sure enough, Master Jin was wearing a dark blue cotton-padded jacket sitting on the stone bench, sipping a little wine and laughing with people.

Tao Mo looked at the pavilion near him, struggling with his heart, and finally lifted his foot toward the stone bench.

When he came in, people in the garden listened to his movements with their ears up and down. Now when he sees him walking towards the stone bench, he pulls his neck to look.

Master Jin seemed to anticipate that he would come and sat on the stool with a perfunctory arch: “The county master is well.”

Tao Mo sighed: “Not good, not good at all.”

Master Jin glanced at him with his eyes slanted, “Could I have made something wrong?”

Tao Modao: “I am missing a master, is Master Jin willing to give in?”

Master Jin said: “I am old and frail, and I’m already invincible.”

Tao Mo continued to sigh: “So I’m not good at all.”

Others listened to their interesting answers, and all calmed down to listen carefully.

Master Jin said: “The county has a large number of talents. It is easy to think of a master. Why should the county master worry?”

Tao Mo held out his palm, turned it over, and then looked at Master Jin.

Master Jin also looked at him.

For a while, Tao Mo said: “I turned it over.”

“…”

“So, you follow me.” Tao Mo said seriously.

Master Jin’s mouth twitched slightly. Although he didn’t want to admit it, the situation in front of him was a bit like… pursuit of a woman. “Why the county master is so persistent?”

Tao Mo thought for a while and said, “I remember there was a famous saying.”

“Oh? Which one?”

Tao Mo muttered again in his mouth, and then said confidently: “Weak water is three thousand, I only take a scoop.”

Master Jin: “…” I knew long ago that he should be at home.
