Chapter 266: The Prime Minister’s Xiaojiao is a Black Heart Lotus 49

Chapter 266 The Prime Minister’s little Jiaojiao is a black-hearted lotus (49)

Almost overnight, the news that Zuihuan Building had changed owners spread throughout the capital.

No one thought that Zuihuan Tower, which was once famous all over the world, would be taken away so easily.

I never expected that the boss who bought this building would be so wealthy. Before the building was renovated, a gold plaque was hung up.

And he had such a conceited name.

The first floor in the world?

What kind of building can deserve such a name?

But Bai Wu also ordered someone to cover it with a huge black cloth, so that people coming and going could only hear the tinkling and banging sounds coming from inside, and the rest were unaware of anything else.

There were also a few people with evil intentions who took a fancy to the pure gold plaque, but as soon as they were about to take action when the moon was dark and the wind was high, they were beaten up by the guards who were waiting from somewhere and were hung in front of the building to dry in the sun.

For several days.

From then on, no one dared to think about the golden plaque again.

And people's curiosity has been pushed to its peak.

Even before the construction of the No. 1 Building in the World was completed, its reputation had already spread throughout the Tianyuan Kingdom.

And this is exactly the effect Bai Wu wants.

Although these days she is often watched by Gu Mo practicing calligraphy in the study.

But compared to before, Gu Mo rarely interfered with her whereabouts.

So she had time to secretly go to the first floor in the world to supervise the work.

It's just that there is a Hongling beside her, who will always spy on her intentionally or unintentionally.

However, Bai Wu didn't pay attention to Hong Ling at all, and it was easy to get rid of her.

Soon, the renovation of the No. 1 Building in the World came to an end.

The New Year is coming too.

The new emperor Zhao Xuanyun seemed to be in a good mood recently, and specially gave the ministers a half-month's rest.

Gu Mo also had a rare free time, and even asked the kitchen to prepare a large table of sumptuous dishes on New Year's Eve.

It's a pity that Gu Mo and her were the only ones having the reunion dinner.

And it was obviously a lively festival. After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Gu Mo went into the study alone without seeing anyone.

The explanation given by Ruo'er was: "It's like this every year, adults."

Bai Wu could almost guess the reason, so she ignored him for the time being. She took Ruo'er and ran to the snow-covered courtyard to set off fireworks with several other little maids.

Gu Mo sat at the desk and for the first time stared at the book in his hand for half an hour without reading a single word.

He wanted to practice calligraphy and meditate, but none of the words he wrote satisfied him.

My ears were filled with Bai Wu's silvery laughter and the sound of crackling firecrackers outside.

Every year in the past, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been extremely peaceful on New Year's Eve.

Nowadays it is happy and lively.

Gu Mo originally thought that everyone in this mansion was like him and had no festive atmosphere.

Now that I think about it, I was probably afraid of offending him and deliberately suppressed my temper.

Gu Mo smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

He lit out another candle to make the study as dark as possible, then walked to the bookshelf and took out a locked box.

There was nothing valuable in the small box, only a worn-out men's wooden hairpin.

Gu Mo's eyes were fixed on the hairpin, as if countless undercurrents were surging under his pupils, but he resolutely suppressed them.

"Gu Mo, everything about you has been stolen, including your life. Aren't you satisfied? How can you have the face to enjoy the fun that doesn't belong to you?"

Thinking of this, his agitated heart finally found some peace.

When I was about to put away the box and read calmly, there was a "squeak" and the study door was pushed open.

The warm light of the lanterns in the corridor mixed with the colorful fireworks outside.

What also broke into his eyes was Bai Wu's face against the light. Her eyebrows were curved and she smiled sweetly:

"Gu Jingxing, it's time to come out for the New Year."
