She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband

On the morning of February 23rd, Chaoyang just poked his head, the dewdrops on the grass blades trembled and rolled, there was movement in the two villages, and the masters were about to leave for Beijing.

It was two quarters of an hour earlier than the usual breakfast time in the countryside. After everyone in the Tao Mansion finished eating, Tao Xinhe carefully instructed every detail, and sent his father, younger siblings, and third younger sister to their respective carriages.

Among them, Hong's face was haggard due to embarrassment, so Tao Xinhe specially brought a simple earthen stove that was made by Cheng Shicheng and imitated the style in the army, so that she could have a lot of snacks and porridge at any time, so she took up a car that was originally Prepare to pull the servant's carriage.

Tao Xinhe ordered all the cars to squeeze together, and Qingfang took five maids and servants with her in the same car.

This car, which used to be very spacious for their master and servant, suddenly became crowded because it accommodated seven people. Even though the servants were silent in every corner, Tao Xinhe still felt stuffy, as if the air was filled with different hair oils. The smell becomes fishy and greasy.

It's also not good for her to chat with Qingfang about trivial matters, seeing the panicked appearance of the other five, she has to calm them down patiently, and chat with everyone about the housework they are in charge of, so as to relieve people's tension that they have nowhere to rest their hands and feet.

Halfway down, Tao Xinhe's throat felt dry, her head and neck felt stiff and sore.

Finally, when taking a nap on the side of the road, I heard Aunt Gu from Ji Changbo’s convoy ahead asking her to sit down. Tao Xinhe didn’t refuse, and asked Qingfang to stay in the car to deal with the occasional trivial inquiries from the Tao family’s cars. , she herself

He got a servant girl in the car, and got out of the car with her and went on.

Tao Xinhe didn't expect that Second Aunt Gu didn't see Second Uncle Gu in the car, but saw Mo Qiqi and Liu Guang.

Second Aunt Gu took her hand, sighed, and said: "He Niang, what are your plans after returning to Beijing? I want to help Brother Xi, but I don't know how to do it. Qiniang also meant the same thing. We want to hear your advice."

Tao Xinhe took a casual look at Mo Qiqi, met her wide open eyes, and looked at herself seriously, as if she was afraid of missing a word or an expression, inexplicably reminded Tao Xinhe of the eyes of her younger siblings.

Tao Xinhe was defeated by her, so she first said to Second Aunt Gu: "Where do I have any ideas?" Then she sincerely apologized to Mo Qiqi: "Miss Mo, I'm very sorry, you warned me the day before yesterday that the Gu family Maybe it was aimed at Gu Ningxi, but I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect such a turning point at all."

Mo Qiqi waved his hands again and again: "I'm not sure myself, I'm vague, it's common sense that you didn't take it seriously. Young Master Xi... Sister Tao, I'll call you Sister Tao, okay? What should I do next, Brother Xi It's too miserable."

As long as Tao Xinhe looked at her face, she would think that this face was unique in Gu Ningxi's eyes, and her heart was filled with soreness.

However, she secretly told herself that this hand helped Gu Ningxi, and she should be able to calm down in the future, completely erasing her ex-husband from the center of her brain and pulling out the weeds. As for Mo Qiqi, he should not affect his sense of loss.

"Miss Mo, Gu Ningxi usually doesn't allow others to get close, because he can't recognize the face, and he doesn't pay enough attention to the servants. To him, they are often bad people, so he is very difficult to take care of when he is seriously ill. But you are different, you are ingenious and handy. , take good care of him after returning to Beijing, and then you can do your best."

Tao Xinhe weighed her words carefully, and swallowed more details about Gu Ningxi's reliance on familiar people during her illness. At the end of last year, she personally took care of Gu Ningxi's wind and cold. She tried her best to speak in a straightforward manner without touching or complaining.

Second Aunt Gu shook her head and interjected: "He Niang, you don't know yet, do you? Brother Xi said that men and women are different, and even righteous sisters can't be disregarded. Originally, I wanted to go back to Xiangyang Restaurant to avoid suspicion with Qiniang. It was me Unable to see it any longer, I invited Qiniang to stay at our mansion for a few days, and then rent a place, Brother Xi nodded and agreed to take him to my mansion today."

Mo Qiqi pouted and answered: "Yeah, Sister Tao, I'm not afraid of being tired or troublesome, and I'm willing to take care of Brother Xi, but he also doesn't allow me to get close, stricter than preventing me from reading and painting. He has a single strand of hair, as he said, he should guard his body like a jade. So after returning to Beijing, at most, I will go to visit him with my aunt of the Gu family, but I can't take care of him."

Tao Xinhe didn't know how to react, it was difficult to distinguish between joy and sorrow. What the **** is Gu Ningxi trying to do? Back then, Mo Qiqi was allowed to tie a scarf for him, but now that he is inconvenient to move and needs help due to his illness, he pushes Mo Qiqi away?

He vaguely guessed that Gu Ningxi's behavior was for her to show, but Tao Xinhe didn't want to continue. Why does he have to keep up and down with other women when he is always near and far away?

After deciding to help him, Tao Xinhe had a good sleep without dreams last night. After waking up refreshed, she felt that it was right for her to let go of her embrace and say something, not embarrassing herself because of Gu Ningxi.

Therefore, Tao Xinhe ignored Gu's second aunt's words and hints, and said to the two daughters bluntly: "I was the one who overstepped. Gu Ningxi is indeed in a pitiful situation, and there is nothing wrong with kind-hearted people wanting to help him. As for how to help, everyone can do their best. The Gu family I can't comment on the behavior of my aunt and Miss Mo. It's not my responsibility to ask who takes care of his private affairs. "

Mo Qiqi got dizzy hearing this, grabbed Tao Xinhe's other hand, knelt down beside her skirt, and asked eagerly, "Sister Tao, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Brother Xi really doesn't want me, he and In fact, I have nothing to do with it, my face is more meaningful to him than me. Sister Tao, can you forgive him? "

Tao Xinhe thought to herself, it's your face that makes me uneasy, and your special treatment of Gu Ningxi makes me unable to let go. And it's not just face, because of you, because of you, Gu Ningxi has lied to me many times, trampled on the "one? One life, one couple" vow to take a concubine, agreed to divorce, and let you live in the house where I was the mistress. Gu Fu, recently he was stabbed by Gu Ningran to avenge you.

These piles of things, whether Gu Ningxi did it out of love between a man and a woman or something else, did not seriously consider my position or my feelings. It can be said that he is reckless or clumsy, or that he is innocent and almost cruel, so why not?

Therefore, I cannot easily let go, forget him, and eliminate the pain caused by him. This is my practice.

Tao Xinhe smiled lightly, pulled out her hand, and instead patted Mo Qiqi on the shoulder and said, "Girls, don't just talk about whether a man wants it or not, it's not good for you. No matter what your future is, you will always It's Gu Ningxi's bondage, so cherish it."

She always felt that these two people would not be strangers, but that she and Gu Ningxi would meet face to face and never know each other one day.

Mo Qiqi felt that Tao Xinhe's words were not as contemptuous as before, but was really for her own good. She instantly thought that the only warmth left in her previous life came from Tao, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Thank you Sister Tao. I won't pester Brother Xi anymore. I was afraid of Gu Ningran before, and later I was afraid of Uncle Jichang. But, I believe you will deal with Gu Ningran. Uncle Jichang has talked to me a lot these days , unlike a bad guy, I told him everything he wanted to know, so I wasn’t afraid of him. So, I can live alone.”

Mo Qiqi glanced at Second Aunt Gu, as if seeking evidence from her, turned her head and cried, "Auntie, please help me talk to Sister Tao. We were just discussing how to find a yard and how to live after I return to Beijing." How to find a husband and son-in-law or not to find someone to adopt a child in the future, etc., I really won't spoil you and Brother Xi, Sister Tao."

Second Aunt Gu nodded repeatedly. She saw that Mo Qiqi was about to leave Gu Ningxi's protection, so she thought about talking to Tao Xinhe, hoping to impress her.

Tao Xinhe's heart was softened by Mo Qiqi. Regarding what this silly girl said, except that the story in her previous life was too absurd and she didn't take it to heart, she believed the rest of the words, and that's why she smoothed things over for her in front of her father.

Tao Xinhe pulled out a silk handkerchief from her cuff and handed it to Mo Qiqi. Although she felt that she was not familiar with her, but a stranger who only knew her name, her demeanor and words showed a bit of intimacy towards Tao Xinqiang: "Wipe your tears." Well. No matter what, it's good if you are willing to stand up by yourself. As for finding a yard, Aunt Gu is naturally familiar with it. If you don't mind, I can also introduce you to some reliable middlemen."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go to Tao Mansion to play with you!" Who would have thought that Mo Qiqi shed tears in an instant, as if she had received some promise, which made Tao Xinhe and Second Aunt Gu smile unexpectedly.

**

When the sun reaches the middle of the sky, outside the Xiangyang Restaurant.

Qin Si was taking advantage of the fact that most of the bureaucrats were dozing off at noon, and no one was paying attention, so he came here quietly with a young man.

This morning, the officials in charge of the clan affairs of the big households in Beijing came to say hello. Only then did Qin Sizheng know that Gu Ningxi, who he had endured for several years and regarded as a great threat to his official position, was unable to handle the job when he did not know where he was. The reason that might drag down the whole clan, was expelled from the clan by the Gu family!

In front of his colleagues, Qin Si naturally shook his head and lamented, his heart filled with ecstasy.

Speaking of Huangcha, he naturally thought of the task of sorting out ancient books that Gu Ningxi monopolized alone.

He originally wanted to find Zhang Shangshu to win this job, and leave it to Gu Ningxi and other talented subordinates to complete it. As Si Zheng, he would bear the reputation of a leader and show his face in front of the emperor.

Who would have thought that after a holiday, Zhang Shangshu bypassed him as the official, and directly assigned the matter to Gu Ningxi, and allowed the young man to find another place to work behind closed doors instead of being in the yamen.

Qin Sizheng was satirized by other Sizheng and talked about behind his back by his subordinates. He was already very angry, but his hands were not long enough to reach Gu Ningxi, so he had no choice but to do anything.

Hearing the news today, he used his brain. The Gu family won't be without wind and waves, right? Could it be that they, as close relatives, discovered the evidence that Gu Ningxi was unable to do what he wanted and wanted to mess up the errand?

Qin Sizheng thought that this was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of it.

The emperor added a sentence a few days ago, saying that he will see results at the end of the month, and he has no time and ability to start this imperial mission from scratch. However, Gu Ningxi has been busy for many days, so there is always some half-written words.

Therefore, Qin Sizheng couldn't wait. While Gu Ningxi was not in Beijing, he went to the wine shop he used to frequent to give some small favors to the shopkeeper, and went to the private room where Gu Ningxi lived for a long time to search for all kinds of documents and materials for his own use.

The shopkeeper had a look of embarrassment on his face. He wanted to take the red-sealed silver taels that Director Qin had repeatedly added to ten taels, but he didn't dare to take it. He said, "Gu Sicheng will blame me when he comes back. Sizheng, forgive me, what documents are you looking for?" , wait for two days, when he comes back, I will report to you immediately."

Qin Sizheng left a sentence: "He may not even come back, what right does a person without clan and family have to show his face in the capital." He was ready to rush and **** it.
