Bamboo ink fragrance in front of the court

In the early morning of the next day, Su Mo opened his eyes and looked at Gu Tingchen who was still awake beside him.Get up and get dressed, endure the physical discomfort caused by not having intercourse for a long time, and get out of bed.But he didn't know that this action disturbed Gu Tingchen's sleep.Seeing that the light has penetrated into the room, Gu Tingchen is no longer greedy for the warm couch.

After washing up, the two of them ate breakfast at the post station and headed towards the city.Yesterday Gu Tingchen told Yan Wu and the driver that they would stay in Luoyang City the next day and come back in the afternoon.Originally, Yan Wu wanted to follow, but Gu Tingchen asked him to walk around alone and pay attention to safety.Su Mo never thought that the two of them would actually see the flower of wealth in the Peony Garden in the city together.All kinds of peonies compete for beauty in the whole garden, attracting countless bees and butterflies.

Su Mo looked excited and couldn't help stroking the petals of a white peony.Gu Tingchen looked at Su Mo, who was dressed in plain clothes, standing in the gap between the coquettish flowers, and could vaguely see the meaning of not being stained with the world.When Su Mo came to his side, he saw Gu Tingchen shaking his head. He was puzzled and asked, "Why, don't you like these flowers? If it was in the past, Gu Tingchen should have dipped a pen in ink and paper. Is it a sentence?" I didn't care about Su Mo's slightly teasing joke, and put my chin in one hand as if thinking, and said after a while: "Sure enough, bamboo is more suitable for you, Su Mo."

Su Mo originally thought that he could tell a lot of reasons in a serious manner, but he didn't expect the other party to say that.He didn't react immediately, and was surprised, "What?"

"If you talk about the peony, it is amazing but it is a vulgar thing; if you talk about the orchid, although it has the shape of an elegant and modest gentleman, it does not have the rhyme; if you talk about the pine, it is vigorous and straight but lacks the air of dust. Only this bamboo can bring out the extraordinary temperament of my family Su Mo. It is safe and quiet, and has a style of its own." After finishing speaking, he nodded.

This rare appearance made Su Mo laugh, "Although I love bamboo, but with your metaphor, don't you think I've become a genius?"

"No, no, it should be a fairy." Su Mo didn't know that Gu Tingchen just saw him like that, but he looked like a fairy.Just now when Su Mo was admiring the flowers, all the white butterflies around him flew to other places.Although it didn't stay on him, the scene was abnormal.

"Hahaha, Gu Tingchen, I'm afraid you are possessed by this peony spirit. If all the demons in this world are as ordinary as I am, wouldn't that insult the theory of strange spirits, ghosts and gods?" Two sentences After saying that, Su Mo laughed out of breath.

Gu Tingchen frowned, "I'm serious."

Xu Shi noticed Gu Tingchen's faint displeasure, and Su Mo managed to calm down.With lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, he has already grasped Gu Tingchen's hand, "No matter what will happen in the next life, even if there are thousands of ghosts and demons standing in front of me, I will definitely come to look for you." Gu Tingchen looked at When he did, he met his clear eyes.In this way, even the myriad filth in the world cannot be stained.

"Su Mo..." Looking at each other again, there was already a slight smile on the corner of Su Mo's mouth, as elegant as ever.Smiling back, he held Su Mo's hand instead, as if holding the most beautiful thing in the world.

At this time, neither of the two of them expected that there would be such unexpected changes in Huainan.

Back to the post just in time for dinner.Yan Wu had already planned his schedule for tomorrow and beyond, but his eyes lingered on Su Mo who had returned from the wind and dust for a long time.Gu Tingchen didn't notice it, but the thoughtful Su Mo himself noticed the dissatisfaction and contempt from this boy from the very beginning.He can't control so much now, being able to reach Huainan and settle down with Gu Tingchen is the most nervous thing in his heart.At this moment, he had to pretend not to see this uncomfortable gaze.The two stopped joking and joking when they approached the post station, and they didn't see any clues.Su Mo felt that this young man was very smart, so he told Gu Tingchen to be careful when getting along with each other in daily life, and don't let others find out about the momentary chat.Although Gu Tingchen was hesitant, he still complied, and Su Mo also admired Gu Tingchen three points, and his performance was not far from the poor scholar Yan Wu said.

Unexpectedly, Su Mo started to vomit not long after boarding the boat. The boats on this waterway were no more than the boats playing in the lake, and they shook even more.Su Mo was seasick, Gu Tingchen looked anxious but couldn't show too much distance, just asked Su Mo if he was better.After Su Mo rinsed his mouth, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a kerchief and shook his head, but he managed to force a smile under his gloomy complexion.

After continuing to walk for a few days, Su Mo got better from seasickness.His complexion was not as pale as it was at the beginning.He ran outside the cabin and chatted with the boatman.Looking at the green hills on both sides of the river bank, Su Mo only regretted that he didn't bring a flute with him.I can't bear to touch the cold river water.The boatman stopped in time, "Young master, the water is not shallow and the water is fast. If you fall headlong, I may not be able to pick you up."

"I haven't seen these scenery in my life. If I don't experience it myself, I'm afraid I'll regret it." Su Mo doesn't have the pedantry of a scholar, and he can chat with this ignorant boatman.The boatman was also happy to tell him things that were not in the book.Occasionally sings the song of the water while paddling hard.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If you really fall down now, you will truly experience it yourself." The boatman joked, and Su Mo agreed again and again.I thought to myself, I am afraid that there will be few opportunities in the future.Gu Tingchen also said the same thing when he was sick and did not take part in the examination, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.But he didn't know that he had given up the idea of ​​being able to play well in the officialdom at that time.Normally, he is someone who doesn't have much desire, and he came to Beijing to rush for the exam just to be with Gu Tingchen.Now that Gu Tingchen got what he wanted, he no longer has this idea.But the book is still to be read.He didn't tell Gu Tingchen about this, for fear that he would be unhappy after hearing it, and Su Mo would not mention it.

When they arrived in Shangqiu, the three of them changed boats and headed east to replenish dry food.During this period, Gu Tingchen did not have many conversations with Su Mo, but he talked with Yan Wu about some plans for Huainan.Although Yan Wu is a servant, he knows a few words, so he has some ideas of his own.Gu Tingchen also let him talk, but Yan Wu frowned when he secretly mentioned Huainan when Su Mo was still outside.

Su Mo likes to be outside the cabin, to avoid too much communication with Gu Tingchen for the first time, and secondly, although it is windy outside, it makes him feel comfortable physically and mentally.The boatman of this boat can't sing, but he can talk about strange things with Su Mo. Although it's not as vivid as it sounds, Su Mo is also happy to hear it.

It is necessary to change the waterway once to Bengbu.Then go south all the way to Huainan.After arriving in Bengbu, he could rest in Huainan in about seven days, but Su Mo hoped that the seven days would pass more slowly, and he couldn't explain why he had this idea.When he arrives in Huainan, how Gu Tingchen will arrange him and how to meet him in the future is a problem to be solved.I can't break the previous lie, saying that I just followed him to Huainan.Gu Tingchen said at the time that Su Mo would return to Huainan.

Arriving in Huainan, Gu Tingqian had no time to take care of Su Mo just after getting off the boat.He just told Su Mo to find a hostel nearby and come to him at night.Su Mo knew that when Gu Tingchen came to Huainan for the first time, he needed to inform the local governor first.And as the censor appointed by the emperor, he will be able to settle down soon.There are two points that Su Mo has never figured out.Although he doesn't know the official rules, he also knows that the selection of censors is extremely strict and the court attaches great importance to it. This is one of the reasons why Gu Tingchen was directly appointed as soon as he was appointed as an official.The second is that before the censor arrives at the place, there should not be only one servant following him.I don't know what Gu Tingchen thinks about these things, what he can think of, it is impossible for Gu Tingchen not to think about it.Su Mojue seemed to be thinking too much recently, and he began to worry about the future between him and Gu Tingchen.He had a bad premonition, and all he could do at this moment was to pray that it was just a premonition.
