Chapter 1207: The Most Beautiful Man in the World's Road to Power (38)
But addicted people can’t take Wushi Powder, which makes them feel uncomfortable, scratching their hearts and livers.
Whenever he feels uncomfortable, he wants to kill Gu Mo, so Gu Mo encounters seven or eight assassinations of various forms almost every day.
The aristocratic family was waiting for the good news of Gu Mo's death every day, but in the end, Gu Mo was still alive and well.
On this day, Gu Mo went outside the city to inspect the fortifications, and a young official came over immediately to greet him.
Gu Mo opened his mouth and said: "Zhao Xi has lost a lot of weight. I think I have worked hard these days. When the fortification is finished, I will rest at home for a while."
This young official is named Zhaoxi.
He was just a minor figure in the court, and he had no chance to see Gu Mo again except for the canonization ceremony on the first day of entering the court.
But Gu Mo could call out his name without hesitation.
He looked excited.
"Master, do you still remember me?"
As Gu Mo walked with him, he said, "I remember that your hometown is also in Guangling, and you have an eldest brother in the family."
"Yes, my parents died when I was young, and it was my eldest brother who single-handedly raised me."
"Since my eldest brother has been so kind to you, you must repay the kindness and take good care of your eldest brother in the future."
The young official nodded heavily, "Zhao Xi knows that he has just entered the court and many matters have not been arranged properly. He dare not take over his eldest brother rashly. He settled down a few days ago and has already written a letter back to Guangling to ask his eldest brother to come to Jiankang.
Yes, it should arrive in the next few days."
Gu Mo chatted a lot with him, chatting and laughing freely and uninhibitedly.
Slowly, they got down to business, and the young official also picked up the important report. When Gu Mo left, he still had a silly smile on his face.
Song Daobo, who was beside Gu Mo, said: "The Lord is good at winning people's hearts. Now the young officials in the court are loyal to the Lord."
There were so many people in the court, and Gu Mo Leng picked up everyone's name, place of origin, family situation and even experience, expertise and hobbies. He knew if there was trouble in their family or something, and would send some warmth from time to time.
Being remembered by a well-known figure naturally made these young people who had just entered the court feel valued and respected.
They are more active in doing things, and they always have good things to say about Gu Mo when talking to their friends.
Therefore, Gu Mo had a bad reputation in the eyes of aristocratic families, but among the lower class scholars, he was a rare good official.
Because he became the idol of the scholars, the scholars also started to follow Gu Mo in using wolfberry to maintain their health.
Song Daobo saw business opportunities in this, and his hometown happened to be suitable for growing wolfberry. He immediately wrote a letter back to his hometown and wrote to his tribe, asking them to start planting wolfberry.
He had a premonition that one day drinking wolfberry tea would become a fashion.
After that, Gu Mo issued several new decrees every once in a while, especially in terms of restraining the oppression of the common people by the children of powerful men and maintaining public order.
Although it was like boiling a frog in warm water, it also made the family hate her more and more.
However, the officials working at the lower level did what she told them very well.
On this day, someone came to visit Gu Mo at Taifu's Mansion.
After the visitor left, Gu Mo found Xie Zhao.
Xie Zhao sat down, and Gu Mo asked: "Do you know why Yuan Shangshu came?"
Xie Zhao, "...?"
Gu Mo poured him a cup of tea, "Is it for your marriage?"
Xie Zhao, "..."
"He has a girl in his family who is waiting to be married. He has seen you before and thinks you are one of the most heroic figures in the world and wants to marry you."
This girl from the Yuan family has a prominent family background and is quite talented. She should not have to worry about getting married.
Although Xie Zhao is now working under Huan Lin, he is actually from a poor family. No matter what the noble family does, it is impossible for him to marry off his noble daughter.
But the problem is that Miss Yuan had three fiancés before, and all three fiancés finally fell in love with Cui Rong and broke off the engagement with her.
In this age where men are respected, if a man breaks off an engagement, it is the woman whose reputation is damaged.
Those men were as tolerant to Cui Rong as they were to other women. After the Yuan family girl suffered several divorces, she became a person with questionable character in the eyes of the world and could not get married.
One time, Miss Yuan and Cui Rong met by chance. Miss Yuan was so angry that she sneered at Cui Rong. Her face was scratched by Cui Rong's maid, leaving a scar, making it even harder to marry.
The Yuan family could not find a son-in-law from a well-established family, so they had to turn their attention to young and promising military generals.
But there has never been a suitable one.
Until one time Miss Yuan saw Xie Zhao.
At that time, Cui Rong had not yet been exiled. She saw Xie Zhao on the street and wanted to release her charm.
As a result, she held her peacock tail for a long time, and Xie Zhao didn't even look at her. Finally, he thought of a way to pretend to be a singer and entered the private room where Xie Zhao was drinking tea.
There were only Cui Rong and Xie Zhao in the private room. Cui Rong took off her clothes and took off her belt. She was really a bold and unrestrained group.
Xie Zhao, a ruthless man, waited for Cui Rong to strip naked, then tied her up tightly with her dress and hung her up at the door of the teahouse. Within a few moments, countless people gathered to watch.
Everyone in the world knows that the handsome Gu Ziji doesn't follow Cui Rong's tricks. The women in Jiankang City are very optimistic about Gu Mo. If Gu Mo hadn't gotten a wife, they would have started fighting over Gu Mo.
Who would have thought that even the people around Gu Mo would turn a blind eye to Cui Rong's charm, so this incident made Xie Zhao also become the ideal husband of a woman in Jiankang City.
It happened that that day, Miss Yuan also saw with her own eyes how Xie Zhao cheated on someone, and she also fell in love with Xie Zhao.
The Yuan family saw that Xie Zhao had a good future, so Yuan Shangshu came to see Gu Mo personally.
Gu Mo naturally didn't agree. For such a thing, you must ask the person concerned about his intention.
After hearing Gu Mo's words, Xie Zhao said, "I won't marry."
Gu Mo said: "Although the Yuan family has no choice but to marry off their daughter, Miss Yuan's character is indeed good, lively and active, which perfectly complements your personality."
Xie Zhao didn't even raise his eyes.
"How can a man be trapped by his children's love affairs if his ambitions are not fulfilled and his fortunes are not harvested?"
Gu Mo was speechless, "Marrying a wife does not conflict with your ambition."
Xie Zhao, "When I marry a wife, I have to take care of her emotions, deal with her family, have children, and raise children after I give birth... This will kill my ambition of the Northern Expedition."
Gu Mo, "..."
What you said makes so much sense that I am speechless.
At this moment, Gu Mo heard the voice coming from outside the house and asked:
"What happened outside?"
A servant came in and said, "There is an old woman hanging a blood book at the gate, asking to see the Grand Tutor."
Gu Mo got up after hearing this, went to the door, and took the blood book held by the old woman.
The old woman's son and grandson were drafted as young men and died on the battlefield. She, her daughter-in-law and granddaughter were the only ones at home.
A few days ago, some children from aristocratic families went to the countryside to play. They saw their daughter-in-law and granddaughter washing clothes by the river, and they had evil thoughts.
The mother and daughter resisted desperately, but in the end they could not escape.
When the old woman found the mother and daughter, they were lying dead in the woods.
