She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband

Hong went back to her room and rinsed her mouth, and vomited up some porridge with vegetable leaves. After tidying up again, all the maids in the room were tossed and turned on their backs.

Tao Xinhe has been by her side all the time, she is determined to the kitchen master, and wipes her face with her own hands, without any reluctance or dislike of filth, which makes Hong very grateful.

She wanted to hold the elder aunt's hand and say some words of apology, but her whole body collapsed and her throat retched constantly, so she could only hold on to Tao Xinhe's sleeve, her eyes were full of pleading.

Tao Xinhe thought that the younger siblings were afraid because of the sudden reaction during pregnancy, so she continued to comfort her softly: "Don't take it to heart, this is a common thing, the doctor said it."

"Relax, lie down for a while, and tell me what you want to eat whenever you think of it. The vegetables and fruits in the countryside are fresh, and they should be more nourishing."

"It's difficult to hire a doctor here. If the siblings are still suffering in the afternoon, we can go back to Beijing right now."

The Hong family also knew that this trip was suggested by the sister-in-law Tao Xinqiang, but the elder sister-in-law arranged it for the sake of her being a pregnant woman.

Although she didn't know what was going on, at first she said she was staying in Uncle Ji Chang's house, but later Qiangniang changed her words and told her to go to another place, and saw Uncle Ji Chang at the dinner table this morning.

As usual, Hong would have to think about it several times in her heart, but now she has no thoughts at all, shaking her head again and again, telling Tao Xinhe not to care about her, and staying according to the established arrangement until a certain time before leaving, she can support here.

Tao Xinhe sighed, and patted the back of Hong Shi's hand, telling her to rest well and not worry about anything. Seeing Hong lying down with her eyes closed, Tao Xinhe even tucked in the quilt for her.

Guessing the time, Cheng Shicheng should leave no matter how late he is? Tao Xinhe sent the little maids to the front hall to have a look, and when no one answered, she gave Hong Shi who was sleeping restlessly a complicated look, and softly told the maids in the room to take care of the young lady, and left by herself.

Not waiting for a moment to catch her breath, as soon as Tao Xinhe came out of the room, all servants from all walks of life came to greet her and ask for instructions:

The master wants to install a strange thing that can turn hula la in the room today, what should I do?

The young lady didn't have breakfast, and the cook had to keep a few stoves ready. The cook wanted to ask for leave in the morning to go back to her home, so she couldn't be granted leave?

The third girl took her maid to play in the wilderness. The villagers said that there are overgrown weeds and there may be snakes and insects infested. Do you want to send someone back to Beijing urgently to buy some medicines like realgar?

Just now, the Zhang family's mother-in-law and the Chen family's daughter-in-law were washing vegetables and laundry by the river. They disagreed and pushed each other. The Chen family's daughter-in-law fell into the water, and the Zhang family's mother-in-law immediately jumped into the river and dragged her out desperately. , but the daughter-in-law of the Chen family refused to let her go, and wanted to ask to see her, so she asked the lay Buddhist to uphold justice, what should I do?

Tao Xinhe took it for granted, assigning everything in an orderly manner, busy but not chaotic, and the servants around her took orders one after another, with faces full of steadfastness and determination relying on the backbone.

As Tao Xinhe's most powerful and trusted deputy, Qingfang is not idle in Zhuangzi, and handles many more trivial matters for the layman. Some servants think that the questions they want to ask for advice are too trivial to mention, so they will go to Qingfang first. Inquire.

Tao Xinhe took the other two maids out of Zhuangzi to find her younger sister in the wilderness, and Qingfang stayed behind for emergencies.

At this time, there was a little boy from the village, who was led by his mother, pointed his finger over, and said vaguely: "Beautiful sister, someone asked me to give this to the master." His drool-worthy note was rolled into a slender roll, like a twig.

The child's mother added in a local accent: "Sister Qingfang, isn't it? My little brat was peeing on the small road outside the village, and a tall and strong man grabbed him like a chicken and asked him to hand it over. Xiner. My little boy said that he was born with that face, not a local. He cried for a long time in fright, and managed to coax him back. We dare not dismantle this thing, let alone present it directly to Master Tao, please trouble Qingfang Put it away, sister."

Qingfang grabbed a few copper coins and stuffed them into the boy's hands, and sent the mother and son away. She looked at the paper for a while, but she didn't see anything special. It was no different from the rural straw paper here, so she hesitated to open it.

What caught Qingfang's eyes were a few ink-colored scrawled characters written in charcoal:

Gu Ningxi is dying! Dow quickly went to the riverside to meet, so he could know the details.

Although there was no beginning or end, Qingfang was still bluffed when she saw it. She clutched the note tightly, told the people around her that she would return as soon as she went, and rushed out of the village to report to the layman with her head down.

Running as fast as she could to the wilderness, Qingfang didn't see Tao Xinhe at a glance, she jumped around anxiously, calling out "layman" and "layman" loudly.

Qingfang walked back and forth along the edge of the wilderness, and finally found Tao Xinhe, but there was someone beside her, not her younger sister Tao Xinqiang, but Ji Changbo Cheng Shicheng.

The two stood side by side, pointing to a path in the wilderness that was obviously newly cut, whispering something. Five or six steps behind them stood their respective servants and maidservants.

Qingfang hesitated for a while, wondering if it was appropriate for her to go forward and report something to bother her. The maid brought by Tao Xinhe turned her head to look around boredly, and unconsciously called out "Sister Qingfang". Tao Xinhe and Cheng Shicheng looked over together.

The sun shines warmly on the sky and the earth, making everything feel spring. The background is wild grass that grows beyond human height and spreads to the horizon. It is more and more contrasting with the tall and mighty Uncle Jichang, who has thick and full smiles. Fang looked over, and at this moment, she felt in a trance that the two were inexplicably compatible.

Tao Xinhe might have said something to Cheng Shicheng, she walked over with her skirt slightly lifted, her steps were a little hurried, with a frown between her brows, she sighed when Qingfang approached, she seemed to be relaxed, and then she asked softly: "What's the matter?" Are you here? What's going on in Zhuangzi?"

Qingfang presented the note, Tao Xinhe read it, and bit her lip in silence for a long time. Until Cheng Shicheng paced over without avoiding suspicion, stood still and asked softly: "A Tao, is there anything I can do to help?"

Tao Xinhe was facing Qingfang, and when she heard the voice, she changed her face. It was rare for this personal servant girl to see her master's sad face with drooping brows and eyes, and she was very surprised.

Tao Xinhe closed her eyes, turned her face to Cheng Shicheng, and regained her indifferent attitude. The corners of her brows and eyes seemed to be frozen, not revealing any emotion, only her cherry lips were pricked, and said lightly: "It has nothing to do with Uncle. Uncle , I told you just now that it is really inappropriate for your mansion to take such a shortcut."

Cheng Shicheng shook his head and laughed, "A Tao already knows what I want, so why pretend to be stupid. Wherever you are, I will find a way to get close to you. This is just cutting down a few weeds. Sooner or later, I will kill the person in your heart." ...uprooted, there will never be a chance of spring breeze blowing again, A Tao believe it or not?"

The note in the palm of the hand happened to hide the name of the so-called "that person". Even though the charcoal marks were easy to smudge, Tao Xinhe guessed the word "Gu Ningxi" from the messy strokes. The content of the entire note was driven to go through Tao Xinhe's heart again.

Thinking about just now, I caught up with Qiangniang here, waved back the servant girl, and reprimanded my sister a few words while no one was around, so angry that Qiangniang said: "I don't go near his Zhuangzi's head office, right? I'll go to the river Play around." Then turn around and run away.

Tao Xinhe called "Qiang Niang" several times to Lonely World to no avail, and when she was about to step back to the village, she just watched Cheng Shicheng lead the servants out of the weed pile, needless to say she was shocked and shocked.

Then she stopped, met Cheng Shicheng and started talking, nothing more than repeating that her heart was dry, so that he should not waste his time.

Not long after, Qingfang came and handed her an inexplicable note. Tao Xinhe thought of Yemeng last night for some reason, and felt uneasy.

Looking up, he saw Cheng Shicheng's stern eyebrows, and Tao Xinhe knew that he was on the tip of his horns, and no matter what he said, he couldn't repel him.

She also thought about the "riverside" mentioned in the note, which was exactly the place Qiangniang said she was going to. She didn't know what would happen, so she hurriedly replied, "You know what I mean, right? Not even a blade of grass can grow. The cold and hard stones are not worthy of being regarded as prey by you. I will not accompany you, and hope that this trail will have no chance for people to come and go. Farewell."

Without waiting for Cheng Shicheng to answer, Tao Xinhe squatted down in an extremely perfunctory manner, took Qingfang and the other two maids, and walked towards Zhuangzi without looking back, pretending not to care about the hot gaze behind her.

After Cheng Shicheng stood still for a long while, he laughed "haha" and said to himself: "At least, A Tao, you don't slap me anymore. Let's... wait and see." He ordered his subordinates to repair and widen the newly opened path and drive it away The hare and the worm don't mention it.

Gu Ningran held a weed pole in her mouth, and led her men to hide near the target Zhuangzi. It was a simple shack built by the farmers in the village on the edge of the field less than half a mile away.

The straw is the roof and the tiles are the walls. It is crumbling, leaking wind and rain, and it is very cramped. Three or four big men curl up in it, and they will bump into each other when they turn around. There are not even decent chairs, so they have to sit on the floor.

Gu Ningran felt that the saddle bag temporarily dragged under his buttocks must have been soaked by the moisture of the soil, which made him feel chilly and even more impatient.

He calculated that the note had been sent out for a while, and he arranged for three of his men to take turns to hide by the river to watch the wind, but there was no sign of anyone. what happened?

Dow really has a heart of stone? Even if it is an ex-husband, there is a one-night couple's hundred days of grace, right? Why are you so unmoved that you don't even show your face to inquire about the situation?

Gu Ningran accidentally ground her teeth, crushed the grass stalks, squeezed out a mouthful of tender grass juice, spit out the grass leaves with a "bah" sound, and stuck out her tongue to let the strong man's servant see if it was dyed green. Seeing the other party nodding obediently, Gu Ningran said angrily, "Bad luck. "

At this moment, the watchman came back to report that he saw figures by the river in the distance, about three or so.

Gu Ningran cheered up, "Bah bah" spat into her left and right hands respectively, straightened her waist as much as she could and lifted her inner belt, but didn't realize that her saliva was all on her robe, so she swaggered and said, "Lead the way!"

Thus, Gu Ningran, who had a greasy face and lewd eyes, led the three old Gu family servants behind him who were confused and looking left and right, and walked towards the rushing river.

Gu Ningxi, Shishu and Shihua finally arrived, and at the end of the dirt road, Zhuangzi could be seen far away.

He didn't hear any noise, and Zhuangzi looked as peaceful and peaceful as a literati loves to write in poems and draw pictures. Gu Ningxi somewhat let go of her worries.

Shishu asked: "Let's go in now and pay a visit to Master Tao?"

Gu Ningxi thought for a while, but she didn't know where Gu Ningran was hiding here first. It would be best if she could find it, so as not to alarm He Niang, so she ordered, "Let's take a look at the surrounding environment first, and then go inside before it's too late."

The environment around Zhuangzi was very simple. Gu Ningxi rode around and saw that there was a silver ribbon-like long river with shimmering sparkles on the other side. No one was moving around. Occasionally there were fish jumping up. They didn't look like they were in danger, so they drove The horse turned its head to the other side.

The first thing that catches the eye is the wild grass that is taller than the sky. Gu Ningxi felt that the Tibetans here were the most likely, so she got off her horse, tied the horse to the old willow tree, and ordered her to read books and paint lightly. Follow him to explore.

As he walked around, he saw a group of people with their backs turned to him, there were men and women, not like Gu Ningran and his party.

Gu Ningxi didn't want to be disturbed, but was about to turn around and look elsewhere, when she felt something inexplicably, she held her breath and walked a few steps closer, hiding behind a thick tree trunk, then focused her eyes on the two or three people who were at the front of the group. The tall man in man's costume almost completely covers the woman's back.

Just relying on the side clips exposed in the gap between a few people, Gu Ningxi felt more and more that the woman was probably a lady!
