MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-Chapter 13
Tao Xinhe didn't know that her husband was thinking of other women, so she just shook her head, indicating that she didn't hear Gu Runing's engagement, dismissed the idea of taking a nap, raised her sleeves to cover up a sudden yawn, and resigned herself to waiting for her second aunt in the mansion.
In Gu Ningxi's eyes, she just saw the lady raise her arms, her sleeves covered the lower half of her face, she tilted her head slightly, and the cuffs were blown by the breath, which fluctuated for a moment.
He guessed that the lady yawned sleepily.
After hesitating for a while, Gu Ningxi asked softly: "How about I come to entertain and the lady goes to sleep?"
Now listening to your husband's voice, why do you feel that it is gentle and pleasing to your ears?
Tao Xinhe laughed to herself, judging the character's good or bad was all she wanted.
She knew that her husband was estranged from the rest of the family. From grandmother to nephew, it was all routine. She probably wanted to get closer to the second aunt, and the second aunt had to take the initiative to find out.
After hearing Gu Ningxi's proposal, she was moved for a moment, and wanted to go to the soft pillow on the high bed as promised.
But the second aunt didn't tell her husband when she saw her husband in the morning, she deliberately came to the house to find herself, because she was afraid that the matter would involve the privacy of her children and it would be inconvenient for everyone to discuss it.
Forget it, help if you can, after all, sister Ru Ning and her have always hit it off.
Tao Xinhe said this to Gu Ningxi, and was praised as "a lady who is thoughtful", which made her go back with a smile and coquettishness.
Seeing that Gu Ningxi had nothing to do, holding up the book and immersing herself in it, Tao Xinhe always felt uncomfortable, raised her brows, and asked, "Husband, do you want to visit your righteous brother and sister of the Mo family again? "
She deliberately bit the word "righteous sister" very hard.
Anyway, right now she doesn't recognize the so-called foster relatives, isn't her own sister and sister-in-law not enough for her to be fussy?
Gu Ningxi responded solemnly: "No need, I told the Mo family brothers yesterday that each of them can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. After the year, invite them to a family reunion and recognize my sister-in-law."
Gu Ningxi may soon find out that there is something wrong with her words, so Gu Ningxi hastily patched it up: "Of course, the lady has the final say, and everything for my husband is at your disposal."
"Huh!" Tao Xinhe didn't answer, and poked Gu Ningxi's cheek with a finger, quite forcefully, which made the man's handsome line cut with a knife and axe dent.
Gu Ningxi was so happy, she turned her face towards Tao Xinhe, and said in a vague way: "Young lady, you can relieve your anger." She almost bit her own cheek while speaking, so she kept silent and kept smiling.
Tao Xinhe let out a soft "bah", and retracted her slender index finger resentfully.
Seeing the bright nail prints on her husband's face, she felt regret and heartache. She clasped her palm with her fingertips silently, grinding her back molars for some unknown reason, not knowing what to say for a while.
Instead, Gu Ningxi began to chatter, sharing with his wife the details of the drinking and banquet of the colleagues last night.
Most of the officials from the Ministry of Rituals entered the restaurant last night since they were on duty in the Yasi. Gu Ningxi is good at distinguishing people by official uniforms.
Tao Xinhe listened to her husband's eloquence: "Last night, everyone congratulated Zhang Shangshu's happy event. A Yuanwailang wrote a poem, which was unintelligible. He punished himself with three cups. He put down the wine cup and wrote another poem. It was even more inappropriate. It was really funny. It was him who A secretary next to him supported him and recited a poem written by a predecessor, and that was the end of the matter."
"A Sicheng came to persuade me to drink. He used an extremely rare allusion in "Er Ya", saying that if I could answer, he drank one pot, and if I couldn't answer, he drank five cups. Guess what, my lady? I naturally The answers were fluent, and I saw him spilling wine on his official robe, dyeing his whole body crimson."
"A Sizheng and a Yuanwailang joined hands to drink me. The persuasion words were about to come out, and I responded that the family members were waiting, and it was not appropriate to drink too much. They actually laughed out loud, and told the left and right people to listen, and came up to talk to each other. I pulled my sleeves and arms, and finally poured me two drinks, which is really irritating."
Tao Xinhe listened with a bit of interest, and seeing her husband's words brightened, she thought, in fact, he really likes to have fun with his colleagues in his heart.
It's a pity to say that because of face blindness, my husband is not sociable and has no close friends. Every day is just a duty in the Ministry of Rites and studying in the mansion, life is very monotonous, Tao Xinhe is busier than him.
I remembered that my husband mentioned that Mo Qi was full of talent and learning in the morning, and he spoke with admiration. He mentioned that the two had the same views on learning and inspired each other. It was very meaningful to find a confidant. Tao Xinhe's natural dislike for the Mo brothers and sisters has slightly loosened up, or at least think about the brothers and sisters separately.
After Gu Ningxi finished talking about what happened last night, she felt hearty. She picked up the cup of tea at hand to moisten her lips, but she still frowned at the sourness of hawthorn and the bitterness of kuding.
Swallowing this calmly and with difficulty, Gu Ningxi thought about continuing to lure the lady through her sleepiness so as to maintain her reputation for being considerate and considerate to guests. She turned her head around and talked about what he had seen and heard in the old Gu's mansion this morning.
Grandma is in good health, and my third uncle and aunt are not at the house. I heard that they have gone out to socialize, so I don't know what they are busy with.
The eldest brother Gu Ningran was clearly at the mansion, and the grandmother asked someone to invite her, saying that her two most proud grandchildren should be intimate with each other, but Gu Ningxi couldn't wait for anyone.
She thought she would listen patiently to her grandmother, but when Mrs. Gu talked about He Niang's faults, such as jealousy and childlessness, Gu Ningxi finally retorted coldly, almost rude.
Grandfather and grandson, no one can change the other's mind. Gu Ningxi seemed to have experienced the pain and embarrassment of her father back then.
Heh, if the elders don't recognize his wife, why not follow his father's example and protect and love his wife!
Naturally, now in front of the lady, Gu Ningxi didn't say a word about the dispute between grandparents and grandchildren, but just casually mentioned that she heard that Gu Ningran had two more concubines.
Tao Xinhe could hear her husband's disdain for the eldest brother. After three years of marriage, she understood the situation more and more, and she was able to empathize with him.
Prime Minister Gu has three sons and grandchildren. He believes in "holding grandchildren but not sons". He is extremely strict with his sons, but he is kind to his grandchildren, especially Gu Ningxi, the only grandson of the eldest son.
Old Mrs. Gu's heart is the youngest son and her only son, Gu Ningran.
My husband memorized "The Analects of Confucius" at the age of three, and started a topic at the age of five. He was praised and praised by his grandfather, and he was often taught and cultivated by his grandfather.
In the old Gu's mansion, Gu Ningxi was "other people's children". Compared with the brothers in the dust, the only shortcoming was that she couldn't greet others, so-called lack of etiquette.
Gu Ningran's eyes are the most hot-eyed, because he and Gu Ningxi are the only grandsons of the prime minister, and the comparison is the most direct and tragic. As for the name of the concubine and the second room
Gu Ninglie, who is his son, was never in his eyes.
Relying on the support of her grandmother, Gu Ningran led seven or eight of her own concubine and second-bedroom concubine, tried every means to squeeze Gu Ningxi, asked her uncle to sue her, and took the initiative to forge a knot with Gu Ningxi.
Even now, Gu Ningran waits for Gu Ningxi to take the initiative to help, and before she can wait, she spreads rumors in the Imperial Academy where he works.
Tao Xinhe heard many such rumors slandering her husband at the banquet, and she had to clarify them one by one every time. In her heart, she felt the same as her husband about this uncle, very tired.
"Don't mention him, spoil the interest." Tao Xinhe appreciated her husband's gag for a while, and took pity on her words.
Thinking of her natal family from the old Gu's mansion, Tao Xinhe rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Husband, I don't have time in the afternoon, so you can go to Tao's mansion to deliver the New Year's gift, and by the way, take Qiangniang over to stay until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, okay?" ?”
Just as Gu Ningxi was overwhelmed by the softness of the lady's words, she felt that the story had really turned, and the lady forgave herself. Immediately when he heard that he was going to visit Yue's house alone, he choked up.
The father-in-law's family has a simple population, the mother-in-law died young, and the second aunt Tao Xinrong married far away, he has never seen it.
Father-in-law Tao Cheng was an official in the same dynasty as Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, his brother-in-law Tao Muxian was studying in an academy, and his third aunt Tao Xinqiang was waiting in her boudoir. In July this year, a new sister-in-law Hong was added, and there were just a few masters.
The crux of the problem is that Gu Ningxi has never been there alone, and every time she comes to the door with his wife, she will remind him to call him "Yue Yue"
husband", and quietly told him whether the young woman in front of him was his sister-in-law or sister-in-law.
The Tao family father and son are not as accommodating to Gu Ningxi as the Gu family members are. They never report their family background, and they just ignore him.
In the end, he still thinks that Gu Ningxi is sick and not good enough for Tao Xinhe. My daughter and elder sister are naturally the best and most precious.
Gu Ningxi glanced at the clock leak, counted the time, and said hesitantly: "What the lady said is reasonable, she should send the annual ceremony to Yue's family before the new year. It's my fault that I was ill at the wrong time, and it was delayed until today's twenty-two. However, Father-in-law and the others must miss my wife more, or, after Second Aunt comes to the mansion to talk and leave, I will go back with my wife?"
Tao Xinhe shook her head in disbelief, she had a rare idea and came up with such a reasonable and legitimate matter, which would embarrass her husband Xiaoxiao.
I still want to live with him for a long time, so I don't want to make things too difficult, but after being cheated, I feel like a stick in my throat, and I still have the lingering fear of worrying about him day and night.
Besides, she just discovered that the scarf that was originally placed in the flower hall was hidden by Gu Ningxi. The object was made and sent by Mo Qiqi, although she didn't bother to ask, she was always in shock.
It's just right to send my husband to Tao's mansion alone, and use my strength to give myself smoothness.
When father and younger brother saw Gu Ningxi, they would always scold him, which was also a common sight. Originally, I still thought my relatives were picky, so I always wanted to stand in front and rescue my husband.
This time, I let Gu Ningxi go alone to receive it carefully. Sitting in the mansion and thinking about that scene, she felt relieved.
Now, of course, you have to present the facts and reason, occupy the high ground, and persuade your husband.
Tao Xinhe took the initiative to hold Gu Ningxi's hand, her eyes fluttered, she smiled sweetly, and said her thoughts one by one: "My husband is worried, but I think it is true. First, the second aunt rarely comes to the door, and she is mysterious and urgent. Maybe how long we will talk, maybe we will stay for dinner, my husband can't wait. You and I can't wait to go back to Tao Mansion at night, can we? It will make the neighbors laugh."
Her finger seemed to be on the back of the man's hand, but she lightly followed her words, which made Gu Ningxi feel itchy:
"Both, my sister-in-law has been married for less than half a year, and my mother-in-law's three-year filial piety period was not yet completed when we got married. You and my husband and wife neither helped nor attended, and I have always cared about her. Now, she is in charge of the house for the New Year for the first time. Xu, as sisters and brother-in-laws, we always come to ask if there is anything we can do to help.
Three of them, Qiangniang had long been arguing to come and stay for a while. I agreed, but have been dragging on until now. The husband happened to pick her up and live there until Niangen, so that she wouldn't cause trouble to her sister-in-law.
Good husband, your trip to Tao Mansion is a heavy responsibility, I accept your favor, okay? Just trouble you to go and come back quickly, how about it? "
Finally, she twisted her wrist and firmly grasped the troublesome beauty's hand, Gu Ningxi nodded in response, and quickly recalled the characteristics of the figure, voice and other characteristics of her father-in-law and wife and brother in her mind.
The author has something to say:
Readers, if you were He Niang, what would you do with the scarf Mo Qiqi gave you?
Or to change the situation, if in modern times, a girl gave your boyfriend a pair of limited-edition sneakers that he liked very openly, what would you do with these shoes?
Looking forward to seeing your comments, HIGH up and chat.
