MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-Chapter 12
"There is no such thing as lying to the lady anymore." Gu Ningxi said firmly.
This confession allowed him to remove the huge stone in his heart, and regain the glory of a gentleman. He was very comfortable, and he wanted to pick up his wife and spin around twice.
But he made a mistake first, and he didn't dare to make a mistake before the lady let go.
"The truth is complete?" Tao Xinhe calmed down, she had already thought of something, and with Gu Ningxi's relieved expression, she tapped the wooden box brought by the shopkeeper with her chin, and asked lightly, "What's inside?"
Gu Ningxi opened it as she said, but only saw the scarf on top.
He pursed his lips uncomfortably, turned his eyes away, and explained softly: "It's my fault, Qiniang and Qiniang behaved abnormally in public. Presumably the lady has also seen it, this is the scarf she gave as a gift from her righteous sister. At that time, I didn't pay attention to the wonton booth, but today I found out that the lady was there, and I was really ashamed and ashamed."
"This Qiniang is really caring. I knew a lot about you, my brother-in-law yesterday, and I can take out a scarf with fine stitches on my back. You are quite a female celebrity." It faded away, so I gave up after stabbing this sentence.
What she wanted to ask was actually something else.
"So, husband, do you reciprocate by buying a hair accessory as a gift? Or did you buy the scarf long before the scarf and gave it to Ms. Mo?" Tao Xinhe used "Ms. Mo" as her nickname to draw a line.
You can't be fooled by multiple righteous sisters, first figure out the extent of your husband's entanglement with her.
Gu Ningxi was taken aback when she heard the words, hair accessories?
Like Tao Xinhe just now, he found the brocade box inside the wooden box.
With a smile on his face, he handed the hair to the person in front of him: "Young lady, you are thinking too much. This is for your husband, I bought it for you at Yanchun Pavilion yesterday afternoon. Oh, it was packed in a box in Xiangyang Winery, and it was given by the shopkeeper. Came back? In the morning, Tete asked Shihua to ask, but when he came back, he told me that the guy couldn’t explain clearly. It turned out that he had already returned to our house.”
Tao Xinhe didn't expect this answer, she just thought that Gu Ningxi wanted to buy it to please her new lover. After all, she had never received anything from her husband as a gift from a female relative, so she didn't know whether to believe it or not, whether she wanted to believe it or doubted it.
"The guy in the shop said that this style is the most suitable for the tail bun, and it can add color. I bought it for my wife. I am ashamed to say that I have always kept my lady's hard work in my heart, but I have never revealed it. My husband is not considerate enough. I have wronged you."
Gu Ningxi held the hair press in her hand, and leaned close to Tao Xinhe, thinking over and over how to put it on as instructed by the assistant yesterday. But he saw that the lady didn't wear her tail in a bun today, it was a style that he couldn't name, her raised hand was in the air, hesitating how to play with it.
Tao Xinhe was still pondering the complex feeling of receiving a gift from her husband for the first time. Are you flattered? Or is it long overdue?
Husband, how much is it for sincerely pleasing you, and how much is for admitting your mistakes and redeeming your mistakes?
When she regained her senses, she saw Gu Ningxi's frowning and hesitant look. After thinking about it for a while, Tao Xinhe also knew that he had never touched women's hair accessories, so he might be embarrassed.
She smiled "puchi", and the worries that had been sinking in her heart for many days were explained one by one. She suddenly realized that she stretched out her hand to find Gu Ningxi to take it over, and her tone was full of coquettish anger: "You are like this, teach me how to look down." .” ①
Holding the delicate ornaments in plain hands, Tao Xinhe closed her eyes, adjusted her mood, then stared at Gu Ningxi closely, and asked solemnly: "Husband, don't hide it from me again. Can you really treat Mo Qiqi like a sister, and don't have any feelings for her? "
Gu Ningxi almost swore to the sky and confessed her heart to the lady.
The person in his heart is not the same as the person in his eyes, but he can tell the difference clearly. And in the future, I will pay more attention to avoiding suspicion and not to worry my wife.
"One life, one couple", the oath he personally swore, he always remembers it in his heart.
With the tip of her pink tongue, Tao Xinhe quietly licked the newly added opening in her lips, stimulating her sanity, breaking apart every word Gu Ningxi said, crushing it and swallowing it.
After hearing Gu Ningxi personally say that she will never take a concubine to raise Xiaoxing in this life, Tao Xinhe was half relieved and half pleased, and persuaded herself in her heart, although her husband is hateful to lie, at least he has no intentions, so it is pity.
Even though he was awkward because he could only see clearly what happened to Mo Qiqi, she knew the truth that too much was too late, so crying bitterly should be enough.
He didn't touch his bottom line, and life will always go on.
The relationship between husband and wife for more than three years is a heavy weight to both of them.
Gu Ningxi watched Tao Xinhe sigh, then raised her hand, and inserted the pair of pressed hair firmly into the round and thick bun on the back of her head like a cloud and flowing water, as if she had grown back eyes.
"The lady is so beautiful, and her hands are skillful. I have a wife like this. What more can I ask for from a husband."
"Don't be so talkative. Help me see if the pressing position is correct. Don't mess it up with your hands!" Tao Xinhe followed the atmosphere, talking about daily routines, and opened Mo Qiqi's page.
**
After tossing and tossing for a while, tears were still there, and her hair was disheveled. Tao Xinhe re-cleaned her face and combed her face under the service of the maid.
After pondering for a while, she ordered the dexterous Zhuiyun: "It just so happens that the flying fairy bun in the morning is out of shape, so replace it with a curled tail bun for me."
Obviously, the mistress only had two strands of hair leaking out from her temples, which could be done with a little adjustment, so why didn't she look like this? However, Zhuiyun didn't dare to ask any more questions, answered in a low voice, and gently broke up the recomb.
The dressing table was covered with a dozen or so hair accessories that had just been removed from her head, including hearts, gold hairpins, step shakes and so on. Tao Xinhe kept her head and neck still, stretched out her hand to gently disperse the hair that was submerged in it, and motioned for Zhuiyun to help her insert it.
Zhuiyun saw the pattern of magpies on branches, and was annoyed that he wasn't responsible for his wife's jewelry, so he didn't delay at all and got it done quickly.
**
Gu Ningxi sent his wife out of the flower hall, obediently stuffed the scarf to Shishu, and asked him to put it away so that his wife would not see it again.
He ignored the servant's suggestion to change clothes, feeling the beauty's remaining tears on the clothes dry up and fade away, and he was in a strange state of mind.
A servant passed in a post sent by someone from the second housekeeper of the Gu family, and addressed it to his wife by name. Gu Ningxi took it, surprised and a little curious.
He just visited his second uncle's family in the morning, and he didn't hear his second aunt say that he was looking for a wife.
Speaking of the second uncle's family, there are four sons and three daughters, and there are grandchildren, and the population is dense. The only real descendant is the cousin Gu Runing, who is just seventeen years old, not much older than the third sister of the maiden's family.
The oldest is Gu Ninglie, who is ranked third, who is two years younger than Gu Ningxi, but the concubine is recorded under the name of the second aunt, and is counted as the first son. The youngest concubine girl is only ten years old this year.
The second uncle is rich and idle, with a big belly, and his belt is half a circle longer than others, so you can recognize people by recognizing their stomachs.
The second aunt's family background is not high, and she has a soft temper. She has the most confidence among the three sisters-in-law. She has been treated indifferently by her mother-in-law, Gu Ningxi's grandmother, until their family moved out quickly after the death of the head of the family, Prime Minister Gu.
The second aunt has always been kind and affectionate to him, and when she sees him from afar, she will greet him as "Brother Xi", and her sincere voice will make Gu Ningxi smile knowingly, and return the thoughtful "Second Aunt".
According to my mother, my second aunt once had a son who was the same age as her, but died young. I don't know if it's empathy, but since Gu Ningxi can remember, the second aunt has always been very kind to him, giving him children's clothes and fresh pastries made by herself from time to time, until they moved out of the old Gu's mansion.
Gu Ningxi was most impressed once when she was ignorant when she was young. One day, after he was bullied by his siblings, he hid in a corner and reflected on himself why he didn't know who they were. Could it be that his father married his mother against his grandmother's wishes and gave birth to a stupid son.
It was the second aunt who called "Brother Xi" loudly and softly, found him, hugged him, wiped away the tears and stains on him, and kept saying, "Second aunt has never studied, so she can't say much. Xi My brother is very smart, don't pay attention to them. In this life, it is enough to recognize yourself."
After coaxing him for a long time, the second aunt personally sent him back to the big room and pleaded with his father, and she was spared kneeling in the ancestral hall that time, the so-called "dispelling the young master's temper".
Therefore, Gu Ningxi always thought of the friendship with his second aunt, and once asked if he needed to take care of Gu Ninglie, but his second aunt shook her head and declined politely.
Just when Gu Ningxi was thinking about what her second aunt had to do instead of entrusting herself to find a wife, Tao Xinhe Shanshan came.
Gu Ningxi saw the water-red dress that had been facing each other for a long time, thought it was a lady, and was about to go up to meet her, but she keenly noticed that the person who came and the lady had a different hair style in the morning, and he hesitated to purse his lips, and the steps that were pulled away could not be stopped for a while.
The lady won't tease him again, will she?
Tao Xinhe casually asked, "Why is my husband so stunned?" Then she sat down at the table and motioned for the servants to serve lunch.
Gu Ningxi knew people by listening to the sound, and only then did she realize that the lady had changed the style of her hair in a short period of time and returned to the familiar bun.
Taking a closer look, I naturally noticed that the lady was wearing the new hair accessory he gave her. A faint sweetness welled up in Gu Ningxi's heart, the corners of her mouth curled up, and there was a trace of fear, luckily she didn't talk nonsense just now.
"The lady is as floating as a Luoshen, I'm fascinated by it." Gu Ningxi was also trying to get back to the state of the couple when they got along with each other, and while responding, she sat next to the lady.
This lunch was three quarters of an hour later than usual. Even though it was a home-cooked dish, both husband and wife felt it was delicious. Gu Ningxi even picked up vegetables for Tao Xinhe more frequently, and asked attentively about the saltiness and coldness, the two of them turned out to be different from before.
Tao Xinhe didn't rest her pillow last night, now that her worries are gone, her food is satisfying, and sleepiness sweeps over her, she just wants to sleep for a while.
Gu Ningxi casually put down the hawthorn Kuding tea cup that tasted weird and was not used to, and handed out the second aunt's post in due course.
While watching, Tao Xinhe told Gu Ningxi that it was the second aunt who was coming to the house in the afternoon to discuss Gu Runing's marriage with her.
Gu Ningxi suddenly realized: "These women's affairs, the second aunt is looking for the right person. Is Ning Niang engaged? I don't have any impression."
For family affairs and even the reception from outside, he has always relied on his wife, and he is not too concerned, and he can't even think about it when he frowns.
He suddenly remembered that Mo Qiqi was still one year older than Ning Niang, and her marriage was arranged by him, and she might have to entrust it to his wife, how should he open his mouth?
The author has something to say:
"Teach me how to see better." The young author boldly pays tribute to "Dream of Red Mansions".
The original text is:
Seeing this, Yu Chuan'er couldn't bear it, so she got up and said, "Lie down! Whoever committed evil in this world will repay it now! Show me which eye to see!" He laughed again with a "chi" and brought the soup.
By the way, I recommend the author's next book "Xiangling Is Not an Orphan Empress", which is a spin-off of "Dream of Red Mansions", click on the author's column to see it.
