She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband

Because the Hong family did not explain at all about the embezzlement of the seven hundred taels of silver, and recently even excused being pregnant and unwell, hiding in their own courtyard, Tao Xinhe was completely cold-hearted about this sister-in-law.

She sewed for the Hong family, took out 700 taels from the silver taels she had saved to buy the small courtyard, and sent it to Gu's mansion, but Gu Ningxi returned it, and Tao Xinhe didn't push or pull her, so she revived the idea of ​​moving out of Tao's mansion, busy with housework In addition, he went out frequently by car, accompanied by the fluent Yaren, and went around to check the courtyard in person, and there was no fake hand.

Even though his younger brother Tao Muxian will discuss another residence after his child is born, Tao Xinhe plans to buy his own yard in the near future. When the newborn nephew or niece is full moon, move out when she is born.

From late spring to summer in April and May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Tao Xinhe doesn't want her family to notice the clues.

Tao Xinhe was even more exhausted every time she comforted Qiangniang who was feeling down. She couldn't help loosening her control by three points, and from time to time read the letters written by Gu Ningxi to relieve boredom, a bit like reading a favorite story book.

Gu Ningxi can write letters in his own handwriting and imitating Tao Xinhe's handwriting, as if two people are having a conversation, well-proportioned and interesting.

Tao Xinhe had to secretly admit that she watched with gusto, and was often substituted into Gu Ningxi's descriptions of the details of the couple living together in the past, his recent state of mind, and his vision for the future.

For example, Gu Ningxi wrote that she figured out a woman's appearance:

"He Niang, when I was studying yesterday, I saw that the ancients wrote that "mountains are where the eyebrows gather, and water is where the eyes are rippling". If I had a feeling for "the place where the eyebrows and eyes are full", I thought it would trigger the inspiration to draw your small portrait, and I was very excited. The table is covered with the treasured landscape paintings of predecessors, and they stared at each other for a long time.

Still unable to comprehend the true meaning, I called the servants to fetch water, and a basin of clear water reflected my blurred image, and when I touched it with my hand, it would shatter as soon as I stirred it, as if I heard a servant laughing beside me.

I played with the green jade mountain stone bonsai on Babaoge again, thinking of the majestic scenery of famous mountains and great rivers, but I couldn't connect with the woman's eyebrows. Will He Niang laugh at me? "

For example, Gu Ningxi wrote that drinking Kudingcha is as sweet as it is now, thanks to He Niang for thinking of this way to tease her that day, but it is a pity that it is impossible to see her face distorted, so that he will not suffer again:

"In the future, if He Niang wants to punish me slightly, I'm afraid she will think of another way. Maybe you will read this and say something coquettishly. Gu Ningxi has a good idea for trying to waste my time."

The two handwriting alternated, as if Gu Ningxi was pinching her throat to imitate Tao Xinhe's speech, as if there was no rift between the two, it was just a joke between the couple.

Tao Xinhe stretched out her hand to caress a line of hairpin flowers in lower script such as "I think so beautifully", and smiled knowingly.

For example, Gu Ningxi asked her:

"Today's Dragon Boat Festival, He Niang, how many zongzi did you eat? Glutinous rice is quite exhausting and should not be used too much. Have you hesitated for a long time between jujube zongzi and bean paste zongzi?"

Telling the servants that she was going to take a nap, Tao Xinhe, who was alone in the room, squeezed the letter paper and poured out her thoughts silently.

At the end of April, Tao Muxian was on a short vacation for another day. I don’t know what kind of quarrel happened with Hong. In the early morning of May, after Tao Muxian returned to the academy as usual, Hong went around Tao Xinhe crying and found his father-in-law Tao Cheng, saying that he wanted to go back to his natal family. live.

Tao Cheng didn't take it seriously, and nodded in agreement. Tao Xinhe maintained the responsibility of housekeeping the family, arranged the carriages, horses and gifts for the Hong family, and personally sent her to the gate of the mansion, and sent her to the carriage, but no one spoke to the two of them along the way.

When Tao Xinqiang found out, her sister-in-law had already left the house, and she asked when she would return home, but no one knew, and she was still upset, so she lifted her hand.

Tao Xinhe thought to herself, if the Hong family didn't intend to go back to the mansion by the end of May, she would let Tao Muxian go to his father-in-law's house to pick him up, so she didn't get involved.

Tao Xinqiang, who has always been the most lively, did not go to the Dragon Boat Festival for the Dragon Boat Festival this year. Tao Xinhe thinks that the weather is sweltering, and her mood is so low that she is too lazy to go out. As for Tao Cheng, he never cared about these festivals that delayed his research, and the rare ones were not on holidays. He just nestled in the study and fiddled with machines.

The Tao Mansion during the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May is nothing more than planting mugwort leaves and sprinkling realgar everywhere, and the master and servants of the whole mansion eat rice dumplings for the festival. It is not as colorful as other mansions.

Tao Xinhe recalled that in the past, she was addicted to eating sweet rice dumplings, and was often indecisive about the taste of red dates and red bean paste. Before that, she had coquettish with Gu Ningxi in the boudoir, so she was able to pick and eat half of each, and move the rest to Gu Ningxi's plate.

Watching the jade-like Duanfang Langjun pick up the sweet rice dumpling with the red lips of a woman, and slowly swallow it into his stomach, for some reason, Tao Xinhe will always be so amused, and personally wait for him to wash and wash away The sticky glutinous rice that was always stained on those big hands suitable for holding pens made her very happy, and she couldn't stop laughing.

This year, no one can eat the remaining half of her, and she doesn't like to give the things she has bitten to the servants. Tao Xinhe, who has always been taught by her father to cherish things, looks at the different flavors of rice dumplings presented by the servants. , naturally made difficulties.

Stretching out her index finger to pick and choose for a long time, Tao Xinhe simply didn't eat any of them, but rested her chin to watch the maids eat the rice dumplings with a smile on her orders, it was the occasion.

On this day, Tao Xinhe also received a letter from Mo Qiqi. It was brought by the **** from the second room of Gu's mansion who sent her back to her hometown. Besides the letter, there was also the familiar "Yanchun Pavilion" wooden box.

Mo Qiqi's handwriting is quite ugly, with different sizes. After all, she hasn't practiced it, so she probably doesn't know many words, and the writing is very colloquial, but she doesn't bother to read it at all, because the ugly handwriting hurts the eyes.

Mo Qiqi said that she had arrived in Quezhou smoothly, and her foster brother was very capable in handling things, and quickly helped her buy a small courtyard facing the street without being noisy. It was well-suited for her with the care of neighbors and a single household. lonely woman.

She has a place to stay in her hometown, and finally took root. This was what she had been looking forward to for countless years and finally realized.

In accordance with Tao Xinhe's heartfelt instructions when she was parting, she did not talk about marriage when she saw "Brother Zhang" in a feverish manner, but kept in touch with her regularly to observe whether the widowed man whom she hadn't seen in a year could do well. Let her entrust her for life.

Mo Qiqi said that she was very surprised that the state officials and his wife took the initiative to take care of her and were quite friendly, which surprised and delighted her. Only after asking, did I know:

"It turns out that they are sister-in-law, your younger sister and brother-in-law, who were entrusted by you to take care of me. Therefore, I still have to thank my sister-in-law. You are not only the benefactor in my dream, but also a great kindness to me in this life. I have nothing If I can repay you, sister-in-law, I hope you and brother Yi will reconcile soon."

The "dream" in this paragraph is also because Tao Xinhe really can't listen to Mo Qiqi's "past life" one by one, and asked her to change the reference and give advice.

Next, Mo Qiqi wrote some details about how she got along with Tao Xinrong, praising her "sister-in-law's second younger sister" indiscriminately, and Tao Xinhe missed Rongniang whom she hadn't seen for several years.

At the end of the letter, Mo Qiqi explained the jewelry she took away and brought back.

She said that she shamelessly sought the status of sister-in-law of brother Xiyi's family, and received a lot of care. At least no matter where she lived for the rest of her life, she would have confidence in her heart. She was not afraid of being bullied and knew that her brother and sister-in-law could support her. Ask for more.

It's just that brother Xiyi became stubborn, and no one could persuade her, and she didn't dare to speak too much. Knowing that Yixiong really regards her as a righteous younger sister, he has seriously planned to distribute part of the property to her, and he also said that it is in response to his grandmother's dying wish.

Mo Qiqi felt that she deserved it, and in the words of her letter, it was: "If I really take this gold and silver, I won't have to be a human being in this life, and I won't have the face to go back to Beijing to visit relatives in the future. With sister-in-law you."

When she was worrying about how to refuse, Tao Xinhe asked her to hand over the precious pearls to Gu Ningxi, so Mo Qiqi played tricks and refused Gu Ningxi's silver taels on the grounds that her sister-in-law gave her makeup as a gift.

Only then did she get on the road in a down-to-earth manner. When he arrived in Quezhou, Mo Qiqi asked the foster brothers from the next room to bring him back to Beijing, and after a round trip, he returned it to Tao Xinhe.

Putting down the letter paper, Tao Xinhe found it difficult to distinguish the taste, held her breath and opened the wooden box, there were many pearl heads, lying quietly on the red velvet cloth, which was extraordinarily radiant under the sunlight of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Even the two sweet-scented osmanthus sachets that were stuffed in before were still in place, exuding a faint sweet smell, Tao Xinhe took a long breath, and finally twisted one and put it on his waist.

This box of bead ornaments was cleverly sent by Gu Ningxi, but she still didn't go back in every possible way. Tao Xinhe raised her finger and brushed hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings one by one, as if to let go of her grievances little by little.

Mo Qiqi's clever tricks aroused her countless emotions, and when Tao Xinhe came back to her senses, she realized that tears were dripping from the corners of her eyes, which surprised her, and wiped them away with her fingertips in a daze.

Staring at the barely noticeable wetness on her fingertips, Tao Xinhe remembered Mo Qiqi's crude words:

"Life is extremely long, sister-in-law, you have been entangled in whether Brother Xiyi will meet some special people in the future and be distracted, just to worry about today's self with things that may not happen tomorrow, are you a smart person who has read books?" Troubles unique to human beings? Can't you just look at Brother Xiyi's performance in front of you? Isn't it better to decide your mind based on this than worrying about the future?"

Tao Xinhe pursed her lips, retracted her fingers and pressed them to her heart, and murmured "Gu Ningxi" twice.

As for Gu Ningxi, she felt sour, astringent, and full of flavors when she thought about it. Can she really let go of the past, take this step bravely, and give him, and herself, another chance to start over with him?

Forced to pull his lips and laugh to himself, Tao Xinhe secretly said to himself, everything he thinks now is just a castle in the air, when he can really complete the difficult problem and draw a small portrait of a character, it will not be too late to worry about the follow-up.

There is nothing else going on in the mansion, Tao Xinhe thinks about the long time in the afternoon, it is better to make an appointment with the dentist, and then go to see two houses for sale.

Thinking of this, she put away Mo Qiqi's letter, closed the wooden jewelry box, put it back on the dressing table in its original place, called Qingfang, and waited for her to clean her face and get ready to go out.

Qingfang entered in response, and reported nervously and softly: "The layman was sleeping peacefully in the room just now, and the slaves did not dare to disturb him. In the afternoon, Uncle Jichang visited and was led straight to the master's study. He said he wanted to see you. Layman , do you see?"
