She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband

The reason is very simple.

When Prime Minister Gu was alive, the order of the men who offered sacrifices to their ancestors during the New Year was based on the concubines first and then the houses. The descendants were Gu Ningxi's father and Gu Sanshu, followed closely by Gu Ningxi, followed by Gu Ningran, followed by Gu Second Uncle and the rest of Ningxi. character generation.

Now that Yongsheng has been three years old, and Prime Minister Gu has passed away for more than a year, Gu Ningran doesn't want to follow the annoying Gu Ningxi's shadow any more, so she discussed with her father early on that a different rule should be established this year.

So, a dozen or so men from the Gu family walked to the ancestral hall. When Gu Ningxi was about to follow Uncle Gu and lift his legs into the hall, he was stopped by the father and son in front and behind. Change location.

Gu Ningran had been educated in the Hanlin Academy, and brought out the idea of ​​orderly seniority, requiring that the concubine be arranged first, so that his father would not be overwhelmed by the second uncle, and then the Ningzi generation would be lined up according to age, and he would naturally become a grandson. The first person in his generation.

Gu Ningran's proposition had no effect on the other people behind. They didn't want to get involved, and they didn't want to miss the excitement, so they all kept silent and stopped, and it was up to Gu Ningxi to respond.

After a sneer, Gu Ningxi stood quietly on the spot, raised her head and focused on the brackets on the top of the eaves, with her hands clasped behind her back, her figure was tall and straight but full of disdain, like a nobleman watching a boring monkey show.

The father and son stood alternately for a long while, but they couldn't wait for Gu Ningxi, the highest ranking member of the entire Gu family, to soften his attitude.

The cold spring is expected, and the spring is not coming at the gate of the shady ancestral hall. Many people secretly feel that they are wearing less clothes, and shrink their shoulders and sleeves.

However, Uncle Gu's brow was sweating from nervousness, and finally felt guilty, and wanted to say back: "Ningran's statement is naturally reasonable, if Ningxi is not willing, then forget it. Worshiping the ancestors is the most important thing."

Gu Ningxi finally looked at the elder, raised her hand to prevent them from ambiguously passing the test, and said something word by word.

Tao Xinhe knelt in front of people, although Aunt Gu stuffed a cushion under her knees, but she didn't thank her.

After hearing the whole story, she raised her face to Mrs. Gu, and said sonorously: "The son said, if you haven't changed your father's way for three years, you can be called filial piety. ①The third uncle really made a fool of himself. Man, just want to change course, do you want to prove that you are not filial in front of everyone? Doesn't he think his reputation is bad, and isn't he afraid of affecting his big cousin who is in the official career?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you make arrangements for elders? Slap your mouth!" Mrs. Gu pointed her fingers tremblingly, feeling breathless for a moment.

After Tao Xinhe briefly kowtowed, she stood up neatly, "Forgive my granddaughter-in-law for not following her orders, and leaving immediately after a big battle is for filial piety②. When grandma calms down, granddaughter-in-law will come and serve her filially."

Then, Tao Xinhe, who was dressed in new **** clothes, turned around and left, leaving Mrs. Gu's trembling voice behind her head.

Second Aunt Gu shook her daughter's hand vigorously, called "Brother Xi, daughter-in-law" and chased her out. The other female relatives in the room surrounded Mrs. Gu to comfort them, but Gu Runing hid in the corner and watched.

**

What Gu Ningxi said to Gu Sanshu was exactly the reason Tao Xinhe used to block the women's relatives. Afterwards, the two sides faced each other, and it was a later story to feel bitterly that their husband and wife were in collusion.

Gu Ningxi responded to the eldest cousin coldly: "Don't you always feel that the Imperial Academy is inferior? Your biological father has a reputation of being unfilial, and you still expect to be promoted?"

Gu Ningran was speechless, unable to get off the tiger again, gritted her teeth, and veins burst out on her forehead, distorting a face that was half or half similar to Gu Ningxi's into an extremely ferocious appearance.

On the other hand, Gu Ningxi, who seems not to stir up dust, has the fox eyes under the clear brow bone without ripples, and the red lips and white teeth are so romantic, and the opening and closing are full of precise words, both in momentum and morality. win.

Everyone judged and understood the situation, and gathered around to smooth things over. Second Uncle Gu reprimanded the third father and son lightly as the eldest with a trembling voice. Everyone observed the situation, surrounded Gu Ningxi and walked over the high threshold, and stood in their original positions according to the old practice. Finally, everyone lost their minds The ancestor worship ceremony is completed.

Gu Ningran stared at her cousin's wide and flat back, wishing that needles would grow out of her eyes. It was this kind of resentment that made him like a snake in the dark, grabbing onto Gu Ningxi who he thought he was, and biting him, ruining a woman, that's another story.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, it's time for the whole family banquet. Gu Ningxi came out of the ancestral hall and walked faster and faster. She wanted to see the lady earlier, but she didn't care about the entanglement just now.

When he first stepped into the flower hall where the female relatives gathered, he saw a lady who was familiar with the clothes sitting under the grandmother, as if telling a joke? Because grandma's laughter came over.

When did the relationship between grandmother and wife get so good?

**

Tao Xinhe came out of the flower hall, not foolishly suffering from the cold, just about to find a vacant room to sit for a while, a middle-aged servant woman who claimed to be Aunt Liuguang took the initiative to come forward, thanking Mrs. Xi for taking care of her niece, and at the same time courting her Go to the guest room where the charcoal basin has been lit, and serve tea and water.

Second Aunt Gu followed, but Tao Xinhe comforted her, saying that as long as her husband is still a fifth-rank official, grandma won't be angry for long.

Sure enough, the news of the ancestral hall was sent back to Huating and Tao Xinhe respectively, and Mrs. Gu sent someone to invite her good grandson-in-law back.

As long as the other party can bear not to lift the table, Tao Xinhe naturally has all kinds of skills to make people happy.

First praise grandma for her good complexion and moist skin, and say that she is full of blessings and have many children, and then tell a few jokes about Gu Ningxi because she is blind and cannot recognize people. Although it is not painful or itchy, it subtly satisfies the old man's thoughts .

So when Gu Ningxi entered the door, she saw a happy and harmonious group, and even heard her grandmother say: "It's really sweet, He Niang is my pistachio, stay with me in the mansion, don't leave."

Gu Ningxi became serious: "Grandmother, everything is going well in worshiping the ancestors. He Niang still has the affairs of the government over there. I'm afraid I won't be able to get away. After a few days, we husband and wife will come to serve your old man together."

All the female relatives teased him that he couldn't do without his wife, the air was full of joy, which made Gu Ningran, who came in with a drooping face, feel even harsher.

Gu Ningran took a peek at Tao Xinhe, she had an ordinary face, her eyebrows were not too picky, her eyes were not big enough, her lips were not fleshy enough, her skin was still smooth, but her figure was attractive. She had to be fooled.

Tao Xinhe sensed Gu Ningran's scrutiny, at first she thought that he still thought she was ordinary in appearance, and used it to mock her husband's lame eyes, but then she was sensitive to discover that his eyes were lewd, sticking to her body, and her hair stood on end.

She resisted the urge to blind Gu Ningran's eyes, turned her back, and secretly clenched her fists.

Gu Ningxi felt that the lady suddenly tensed up, thinking that she was annoyed by being teased, and repeatedly begged for forgiveness to her aunt, sister-in-law, younger siblings, and younger sister, but he couldn't tell who was who, and made the whole room burst into laughter. It is the Hele family.

Gu Ningran was suddenly pinched by her own wife's ears, and the two quarreled in front of her grandmother.

His wife was about to say shameless words about peeping at her sister-in-law, but somehow she became aroused, swept the hands of Gu Ningxi and his wife, swallowed it back, found a reason to scold Gu Ningran angrily, and got a slap in the face, which made Mrs. Gu faint with anger fall.

Naturally, the luncheon was cancelled, the crowd dispersed, and the old Gu's mansion was in decline.

Second Aunt Gu took Gu Runing, and some others with sharp eyesight, followed Gu Ningxi and Tao Xinhe to Xingu Mansion to celebrate the new year, and it was still lively and festive.

The author has something to say:

①The son said: When the father is alive, watch his aspirations; if the father does not watch his actions; if you have not changed from your father's way for three years, you can be called filial piety. —From the eleventh article of "The Analects of Confucius? Learning? The First".

It means to look at a person’s conduct, first of all, what his father’s ambitions were when he was alive, and secondly, his behavior after his father’s death. If he can be as virtuous as his father was when he was alive, then he is considered filial piety.

Here in the text, it is Gu Ningxi and Tao Xinhe who are satirizing Third Uncle Gu, saying that less than three years after Prime Minister Gu’s death, they are about to change the ancestor worship rules established by their biological father when he was alive, so strictly speaking, they can be labeled as “unfilial”.

② "A filial son obeys his orders, not his orders." It comes from "Records of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", which means that a filial person must obey the reasonable orders of his elders, and cannot obey paradoxical orders.

The original meaning of "the big battle is to go", the original meaning first came from "Confucius's Family Yu", Song Lu Jiuyuan's "Jing De Tang Ji" mentioned this way: "Shun's small stick will accept, and the big stick will go. His wife, emperor and two daughters, don't wait. Blind Sou's fate."

It means to endure light beatings, and run away from heavy beatings. Confucianism believes that this is the attitude that a filial son should adopt when he is punished by his parents.

Combining the two sentences, in the text, Tao Xinhe told everyone present that her grandmother said that slapping her was reckless, and she had to leave. This is the only way to be truly filial and occupy the moral high ground.

This chapter is out of the book bag, I hope it will not affect the perception of angel babies too much, the little author bows to everyone.
