Quickly through the water: the sick male protagonist blackened

Chapter 266 The chancellor's little Jiaojiao is a black lotus (49)

Almost overnight, the news that Zuihuan Building changed hands spread in the capital.

No one thought that Zuihuanlou, which was famous all over the world before, would be taken away so easily.

It was even unexpected that the boss who bought the building would be so rich and powerful, the plaque made of gold was put up before the building was renovated.

He also gave such a conceited name.

The first floor in the world?
What kind of building can afford such a name?
But Bai Wu also ordered someone to cover it with a huge black cloth, so that people who came and went could only hear the tinkling and knocking sound coming from inside, and the rest would not know anything.

There were also a few people with malicious intentions who fell in love with the pure gold plaque, but just as they were about to make a move while the moon was dark and the wind was high, they were beaten up by guards who were waiting from nowhere, and were hung up in front of the building to dry. for several days.

Since then, no one has dared to think about the gold plaque.

And people's curiosity has also been pulled to the peak.

Before the first building in the world was completed, its reputation had already spread throughout Tianyuan Kingdom.

And this is exactly the effect Bai Wu wanted.

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

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

That's why she had time to secretly go to the No. [-] Floor in the World to oversee the work.

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

But Bai Wu didn't take Hong Ling seriously at all, and it was easy to get rid of her.

Soon, the renovation of the first floor in the world will come to an end.

The new year is also approaching.

The new emperor, Zhao Xuanyun, seems to be in a good mood recently, and specially granted half a month's rest to the court ministers.

Gu Mo was also rarely free, and even asked the kitchen to cook 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, so after the New Year's Eve dinner, Gu Mo went into the study room alone without seeing anyone.

The explanation given by Ruoer is: "My lord is like this every year."

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

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

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

Bai Wu's silver-bell-like laughter and the crackling of firecrackers outside filled her ears.

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

Now it's fun and lively.

Gu Mo originally thought that everyone in this mansion was like him, and there was no holiday atmosphere.

Now that I think about it, I guess it was because I was afraid of offending him and suppressed my temper on purpose.

Gu Mo smiled self-deprecatingly.

He extinguished another candle to make the study as dark as possible, and then he went to the bookshelf and took out a small locked box.

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

Gu Mo's eyes stared at the hairpin motionlessly, and there seemed to be countless undercurrents surging in his pupils, but he resolutely pushed them back.

"Gu Mo, everything about you was stolen, including your life. Are you still not satisfied? What face do you have to enjoy the fun that doesn't belong to you?"

Thinking of this, his restless heart finally got some peace.

Just as she was about to put away the box and read the book calmly, the door of the study was pushed open with a "squeak".

The warm lantern light on the porch mixed with the colorful fireworks outside.

Also intruding into his eyes is Bai Wu's face against the light, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, and she smiles sweetly:
"Gu Jingxing, it's almost time to celebrate the New Year."
