MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-v2 Chapter 126
It was only then that Tao Xinhe realized that after witnessing her parents' resentment against each other since she was a child, she vaguely resisted entrusting her life to a man and allowing him to be her master.
However, Gu Ningxi used the words "courage and responsibility" to propose a marriage, which paid off a large sum of money, got Tao Xinhe's promise to marry her, and even brought her marriage ahead of schedule. How did she think at that time?
After such a long time, Tao Xinhe can still recall clearly. She was shocked by these four words, and felt that although the other party had never met, she accurately judged her most proud and well-hidden temper, and she was a confidant.
Marrying a confidant, presumably life is always easy, can you respect and understand each other?
With this in mind, Tao Xinhe stepped into Gu's residence and became Gu's wife. In this process, she didn't actually force it, Gu Ningxi wanted to keep her alone for the rest of her life. There is no such precedent around her, so she cannot inspire such delusions.
It was Gu Ningxi who picked it out herself. It caused a sensation everywhere and moved Tao Xinhe.
At first, she thought that it was because Gu Ningxi was blind and indifferent to women's appearance that she easily made a big promise.
Anytime the couple grows longer and their relationship grows deeper, Tao Xinhe discovers that Gu Ningxi really thinks and does what she wants, and she automatically keeps away from the women, and does not give any ground for entanglement to arise.
Tao Xinhe gradually believed in it, and "a couple for life" became the tacit belief between her and Gu Ningxi.
Before she knew it, she began to judge other men by this.
When the second sister wrote to explain how difficult it was to manage the concubine's room, she wrote back to the second brother-in-law, accusing him of being weak physically and mentally, and being promiscuous, which made the second sister distressed. It took a long time longer than usual before I received the reply letter from my sister and her husband who signed the payment together. Please rest assured, the elder sister, the couple is in harmony, and it will be considered an end.
To her younger brother Tao Muxian, she repeatedly ordered him to focus on his sister-in-law Hong, and even forbade him to take a concubine during Hong's pregnancy. The younger brother smiled and listened to them one by one.
At that time, Tao Xinhe didn't think it was too much to ask, until now, after hearing the report from the third sister, the younger sister-in-law Hong was worried, and had already prepared a housemaid.
She just wondered if her younger brother would come back two or three days later, seeing the maidservant with a delicate and timid tender face, would she accept it with half push? As an older sister, how could she reach out to meddle in her younger brother's affairs?
As for the third sister, Tao Xinqiang, she always felt that she was still an ignorant child, and she had to spend a lot of time choosing a husband for her.
Regarding Tao Xinqiang's life after marriage, to be honest, Tao Xinhe hasn't thought much about it yet, and it seems that she has intentionally or unintentionally ignored the default obligation of the regular wife to manage and even set up concubines and concubines.
This resulted in a situation where the other party enjoyed the maid before marriage, and she felt aggrieved on behalf of her younger sister, but her younger sister decided to endure the situation of acquiescence.
The root cause is that Tao Xinhe and Gu Ningxi lived together as a couple for more than three years, and there was no one else before Mo Qiqi, which gave her the illusion that it should be so.
She thought and thought, she asked men to be as good as jade, and she really didn't get the support and understanding of the world, and it couldn't be blamed on Gu Ningxi not taking concubines.
Only after the sisters had calmed down for a few days, she took the initiative to apologize to Tao Xinqiang, saying that she had a bad mood that day and didn't think about the problem from her sister's point of view. After a few words, Tao Xinqiang burst into her arms and cried again. Even if the little storm is over.
She still had to pinch her nose to arrange the marriage for her younger sister, but she finally took a chance and reprimanded her future son-in-law Datong harshly, and got a guarantee from the other party that she would never take a concubine and accept a house within five years, and she was barely satisfied.
Ji Changbo Cheng Shicheng also came to Tao Mansion as a guest on the day Tao Muxian returned home at the end of March, so he naturally wanted to be beautiful.
Tao Xinhe saw that he was still courteous, but remembered that when she was ill a few days ago, he joined forces with the Hong family to persuade her sister to be patient, and the cunning words that involved the essence of marriage on the heirs took away Tao Xinqiang's carefree smile. I feel quite different from Cheng Shicheng.
Tao Muxian came back once a month, and he only communicated with letters on weekdays. He knew little about the family situation. He looked at the three-rank nobleman who was of the same rank as his father, and he was a strong military general who was in his prime. He was fascinated by what he longed for but didn't understand, and he greatly admired Cheng Shicheng.
"If you want to be my brother-in-law, I've passed... hiccup. Uncle, I only hope that you can treat my sister well." Tao Muxian, who was intoxicated by Cheng Shicheng, who has a good capacity for alcohol, murmured Drunk talk.
Tao Cheng, who was sitting in the main seat, was holding the precious official books brought by Cheng Shicheng and couldn't put it down. Not to mention drinking with guests, he didn't even take a few sips for lunch. Xiang Tao Xinhe asked in a daze:
"Why, He Niang, have you made up your mind to score twice?"
Tao Xinhe, who was already drunk and helpless with her younger brother, was avoiding Cheng Shicheng's hot gaze with a grin when she heard the words, and when she heard her father's question from outside the sky, her cheeks flushed with anger, she suddenly got up, and said: "This manor Do you despise me and want to drive me away?"
Then he left the table quickly, ignoring the scene at all.
Cheng Shicheng chased her outside her boudoir, but she closed the door and didn't see her. He said that his thoughts were in a mess recently, and he didn't dare to agree or reject uncle easily, and asked him to give him some time.
Cheng Shicheng looked at the tightly closed thick door, as if Tao Xinhe's heart door was like a clam shell. He clenched his fists tightly and tightly, and took several deep breaths before restraining the urge to break in.
He has long discovered that Tao Xinhe likes men who are gentle and decent, just like Gu Ningxi.
Coincidentally, he has been plagued by hidden physical diseases for five or six years, and he always behaves without edges and corners when interacting with the outside world. According to someone's comment, he "doesn't look like a vulgar general at all."
When he first met Tao Xinhe, he didn't take off his mask of amiability and gentleness. Taking advantage of the other party's depression and distress after divorce, Cheng Shicheng always cared for her. As evidence, I got Tao Xinhe's personal reply.
Up to now, even though he heard the news from the good servants in the palace that Gu Ningxi would be reused by the emperor, Cheng Shicheng was afraid and reluctant to let go of Tao Xinhe, he still wanted to try one last time.
"A Tao, you were the one who told me that you wanted to look into the future with me. I will keep this in my heart, and please don't forget it." Cheng Shicheng cleared his throat and spoke to the wooden door. The voice is full of emotion, and the heart is beating endlessly.
Now that she already knew that Gu Ningxi was about to be promoted to a fourth-rank official after her filial piety, and now that she knew that Gu Ningxi was unwilling to let Tao Xinhe go, Tao Xinhe's will and attitude suddenly became important.
Cheng Shicheng weighed it carefully, forcibly looting is not even the middle policy, it has become the worst policy. Therefore, he can only be gentle, take the path of bitterness or infatuation, and move Tao Xinhe to fall towards him, which is the best way. However, Cheng Shicheng did not have absolute confidence in this.
Tao Xinhe's words seemed to have a nasal tone: "Uncle, please forgive me, I was rude just now. You have seen that I am not always calm and polite. Have you punctured your fantasy? Please consider carefully."
Cheng Shicheng didn't like the scene of the conversation across the door. He couldn't see Tao Xinhe's expression, and even her voice was blocked by the door panel to filter out the slightest emotion. For a while, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Strangely, he thought of Gu Ningxi, the man whom he gradually regarded as his rival in love.
How does it feel to be face blind? Dealing with everyone, is it just this feeling of being powerless and unable to accurately judge the other person's emotions?
Cheng Shicheng relaxed, leaned close to the door, and murmured about Tao Xinhe in his eyes, charming without knowing it, charming and natural, beautiful and intelligent, she is his ideal wife, there is nothing disillusioned about it.
After hearing Tao Xinhe's response for a long time, Cheng Shicheng finally couldn't continue, and at the moment Tao Cheng came to apologize to his eldest daughter, he left the house.
Tao Xinhe opened the door to welcome his father into the room, first apologized for his impulsiveness, poured tea for Tao Cheng, and then recounted Cheng Shicheng's love words, word for word.
Then, Tao Xinhe, who was sitting across from Tao Cheng, endured her shame, and asked anxiously: "Father, what does your daughter look like? I think that the person Cheng Shicheng mentioned is not me, and I am completely out of tune. "
It was rare to see the eldest daughter so confused, Tao Cheng was overjoyed, and had long since forgotten the cold scene after Tao Xinhe left the table, Nian Xu said:
"In the eyes of my father, you are a good daughter who takes care of my younger siblings like a mother, a good child who makes me feel at ease as a housekeeper, a man with righteous ideas, quick decisions, and a man of determination who is not inferior to a man. You are knowledgeable and affectionate. It's a pity that when it comes to dealing with the Gu family boy and the Cheng family, I have learned to be hesitant and procrastinated as a father, which is a failure."
Looking at Tao Xinhe's slender and charming eyes, which widened as she listened, and facing the surprise in them, Tao Cheng turned to speak earnestly: "My child, He Niang, if you look at the mountains, you can see them as ridges and peaks. This is a more complicated and profound matter? Different people have different evaluations of you, which is extremely natural. Have you asked Gu Ningxi this question?"
Tao Xinhe shook her head, then thought of something, and tapped her head a few times almost imperceptibly, as if asking her father, but also as if asking herself: "It is said that people are mirrors, but there are so many mirrors, and the reflections of themselves are different. Where should I go, how should I choose?"
Tao Cheng pointed to the bronze mirror in his daughter's room that had just been polished, reflecting the finer details of the figure: "Well said, the bronze mirror is naturally clear. Take the one that you think is most suitable for yourself in your heart. There is no second meaning to what my father said just now, He Niang, you can marry whoever you are happy with, and if you don’t marry, you will be even more happy for your father. There is absolutely no intention to urge you to marry Cheng Shicheng."
Tao Xinhe stared sideways at the Luantai makeup mirror for a while, bit her lips and nodded, and said softly, "It's my daughter's reckless words and deeds, my father has always loved me, and Mu Xian, I understand. Father, if... if... I Reuniting with...a broken mirror, does reconciliation become a joke?"
Be obedient and listen to the sound, even if the elm is as lumpy as pottery, you can hear her true intentions from Tao Xinhe's stammering words.
She didn't call the name, how could Tao Cheng not know, was she trying to reconcile with Gu Ningxi?
Although it was born without knowing why, so what? That parent doesn't look forward to the happiness of their children?
Wei Wei feels a little regretful that he missed the mechanical molds and books collected by the Jichangbo Mansion, but Tao Cheng is still sincerely pleased that his daughter confided in her thoughts about remarrying for the first time.
"Where did the joke come from? For example, when people eat pancakes, they feel hungry after eating the first one, but they still feel the same after eating the second one. They don't feel full until the fourth one. It cannot be said that the first three are useless. Right? This is a joke, He Niang, you know it."
It's rare for Tao Cheng to be persuasive: "If you and Gu Ningxi get back together again, as a father, I'm happy to see him succeed. He was originally chosen by you yourself, and he went around a lot, because it doesn't matter if other women are at odds or divorced. , He was chased to the outskirts of Beijing and was injured, and he later sued the officials to protect your reputation, these processes are all the cakes between you."
Tao Xinhe listened obediently, and the words entered her ears and heart.
At the beginning of the first month of this year, I lived in Tao Mansion for a while, and the incident of Mo Qiqi taking a concubine hadn't happened yet. When the couple were whispering, Gu Ningxi's comments on her came to mind again:
"He Niang, in my opinion, you are a rare treasure. I can't judge your appearance, but you have a firm mind and a calm mind, which is beyond the reach of many men. No matter in our mansion or Tao's mansion, you are easy to assign directors If it is determined, it is like a general who counts troops on the battlefield."
At that time, she coquettishly resented Gu Ningxi's exaggerated words and inappropriate analogies. Gu Ningxi continued to add:
"You don't regard this trouble as a necessity, but as what you want, just like I like to read and paint, and enjoy myself. You are so radiant and I admire you. I only hope , can create an atmosphere for you to display your talents wantonly, and I am honored to be by your side, admiring and admiring you, just like this moment, like forever.”
Comparing Cheng Shicheng's evaluation with her father's today, Gu Ningxi's words a few months ago were the most heartwarming, but now that they were recalled, she felt as clear as yesterday.
At dusk that day, Tao Muxian woke up from drunkenness and came to Tao Xinhe to make amends. He didn't mention anything about the seven hundred taels that should be given to Gu Ningxi when the Hong family swallowed it. Don't mention this matter.
Inadvertently, Tao Xinhe asked his younger brother what he thought of her, and Tao Muxian praised her like a virgin, and his words were full of admiration.
Therefore, the person who understands himself best and is the most comfortable person to get along with, turns around. It seems that he is the one who has done wrong and tried to make up for it clumsily... Gu Ningxi.
