The person who came was Ji Changbo Cheng Shicheng.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, he behaved from the heart, a little rough, and scared away the beautiful women. On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Tao member Wailang was ushered in. The two men came and talked with each other in secret. Cheng Shicheng of the horse was even better, and pulled Tao Cheng into his camp. At that time, he sent the father and daughter out, and he felt that the victory was in his hands.

However, when he went to visit Tao's mansion afterward, it was either in vain, and the servants respectfully reported that Jushi Tao was out to do something, or Tao Cheng ran back from the Ministry of Industry panting to receive him, saying that his daughter needed time,

Until the day before yesterday, he heard a secret report from Tao's entourage that the layman was accompanying the elders of his younger siblings in the mansion. Tao Cheng was unable to go back and forth on the day of his trip to the suburbs of Beijing. one side.

Time was running short, Tao Xinhe took the submerged spices he had sent over and threw them back into Cheng Shicheng's arms, saying: "You will not be rewarded for no merit, such a generous gift, please take it back."

Cheng Shicheng wanted to say a few more words to her, but before he could open his mouth, Tao Xinhe hid outside the door like a swift rabbit, leaving words to order his servants to entertain the distinguished guests. Say goodbye hastily.

Cheng Shicheng waited for a long time, but couldn't really rush into the backyard of the Tao Mansion to find someone, so he had to drink two cups of tea and left the mansion. When he came out, he said that it was an item left by a distinguished guest in the flower hall, and the master asked him to rush to deliver it to the car.

Cheng Shicheng laughed back angrily, knowing that Tao Xinhe had been waiting for him to leave in the dark, even knowing that he didn't take anything. He didn't make things difficult for his subordinates, thanked him politely, threw the wooden box into the carriage at will, and asked the housekeeper to tell Tao Jushi a sentence: "My heart is sincere, and you will know it in the future."

Today, it was one of the attendants he placed beside Tao Xinhe again, who sent a letter to Ji Changbo's mansion, saying that Jushi Tao went to the wine shop to attend a meeting, and it was very likely that he saw Gu Ningxi.

Hearing this, Cheng Shicheng was afraid that the old relationship between the two would relapse, so he hurried to the Xiangyang Restaurant, where he was stalked and flattered by the shopkeeper for a long time, but he couldn't find out where Gu Ningxi was.

Cheng Shicheng became impatient, and walked across the courtyard to the back by himself, thinking that if he searched one by one, there would always be something to gain, followed by the shopkeeper who wiped his sweat frequently and apologized in a low voice.

He didn't want to call, he had just knocked on the doors of two Yashe rooms, said excuse me to the stranger, and walked back to the main road, when he saw the beautiful woman he was thinking of trotting over from a distance, and arrived in an instant.

Tao Xinhe was afraid that Gu Ningxi would chase after her, and it would be unsightly to be dragged by the public, so she put her mind on the back burner, and being called "lady" by him made her even more disturbed, and almost tripped over. "A Tao" has won Tao Xinhe's attention.

Tao Xinhe suddenly felt that the sun was scorching hot on her body, which made her want to hide, just like the unexpected look in the eyes of the man in front of her.

She retracted her bare hands uncomfortably, restrained her face and straightened her dress, and after thanking her softly, she asked again: "It's a coincidence, Uncle is also in the mood to drink?"

Since Cheng Shicheng expressed his feelings in front of her, he no longer pretended to be gentle, and said with a loud smile: "I heard that A Tao is here, and I came here specially to find you."

Gu Ningxi saw that the lady stopped and was talking to a man in a middle-aged man, as if they had a close relationship, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he chased slowly, just in time to hear Cheng Shicheng's words, the man's voice seemed familiar, adding to his melancholy.

"He Niang... are you okay?" Gu Ningxi whispered, standing three steps away from Tao Xinhe, asked a question of concern.

Tao Xinhe looked at the two men in front of him, each winning the field:

Gu Ningxi is like a green bamboo, tall and thin, with slender limbs, jade-like skin, a handsome face, and a dignified gentleman;

Cheng Shicheng is like a boulder, tall and strong, with broad hands and feet, a honey-colored face, and a stern outline, showing the temperament of a warrior.

However, they were all characters that gave her a headache when they saw them, and they got together, Tao Xinhe just wanted to leave quickly.

Among the two, she seemed to be more bored with Gu Ningxi, so she responded to him first: "Don't bother me, I just said everything clearly, and that's all, go back to your room, someone is waiting for you."

Then, Tao Xinhe turned her face and said to Cheng Shicheng: "I don't know who you heard it from? Why is there an ear **** by my side? If there is nothing important, please let me stay with you, I am leaving soon."

"I'll accompany you, okay?" The two men's voices were different, one smooth and the other deep, but they said five words in unison.

Tao Xinhe reacted for a moment, and then she heard clearly that they said the same thing, and seeing the expressions of the two of them in unison, they all condensed, and finally realized that she was not the only one who felt embarrassed.

Gu Ningxi felt a great threat. Is this man interested in He Niang? The words are intimate, the attitude is warm, who is he, what is his background, what is his origin?

The hairs all over his body stood on end, he hadn't found an enemy yet, and Qiniang hadn't settled down properly, in case during this period, He Niang completely gave up on him, maybe she has given up now, and someone else has entered her heart, his future For the rest of my life, what should I do? He couldn't imagine how gloomy the future would be without He Niang.

Gu Ningxi usually doesn't take the initiative to greet people, because she can't be called by name, no matter first meeting or reunion, there is not much difference from him, so she always hides her clumsiness and is misrepresented as arrogance. Right now, he was uncharacteristically, even though he felt in his heart that he had seen this person before, he straightened his shoulders, nodded in greeting, and asked, "May I ask your honor?"

Cheng Shicheng was scrutinizing Tao Xinhe's expression inch by inch, trying to guess her mood after meeting her ex-husband, but when he heard Gu Ningxi's question, he couldn't help laughing, and replied: "There are rumors in the officialdom that Gu Sicheng has no one under his eyes. When I first met you on the sixth day of the lunar new year, I thought that the rumors were not true. You are a modest and polite young man. As a result, today, Gu Sicheng gave me the power to kill you? Pretending not to recognize me, Gu Sicheng is quite Is there any pleasure?"

For some reason, Tao Xinhe felt embarrassed for Gu Ningxi, as if she was the one being ridiculed. In the past, when she was by Gu Ningxi's side, she always whispered to him the identity of the visitor in advance, and such a situation would never happen.

After hesitating for a while, Tao Xinhe keenly saw the fine sweat dripping from Gu Ningxi's forehead, gritted his teeth and spurned himself, but still smoothed things over in a low voice: "Gu Sicheng, this is Uncle Jichang, we went to his house to help Ningxi Mother talked about marriage, and Cheng Jia is his adopted son."

With a lower voice, she said to Cheng Shicheng again: "Uncle, Gu Sicheng was born with a disease and cannot recognize faces, so he is always poor at recognizing people, and he didn't mean to be provocative."

At this point, the words were cut off abruptly, "Please don't mind him, Uncle" and "Please forgive him", Tao Xinhe really couldn't say what kind of pleading words at the end, what position and position did she use to plead for Gu Ningxi?

The sun became more venomous, Tao Xinhe felt like a thorn in her back, she forced a laugh, and said: "I still have something to do in my residence, I'll go back now, you can do what you want."

After finishing speaking, Tao Xinhe slightly raised the hem of her skirt, and without looking at the two of them, she lowered her head and walked along the winding stone road. Her maid and attendants followed after saluting the two men, and the four of them drifted away.

Gu Ningxi wanted to chase her from the bottom of her heart, but He Niang was so obvious that she was hiding from him just now, and there was even a stronger enemy waiting for her. He barely stopped and watched the graceful figure of the lady gradually disappear from sight. Finally, he turned his head and walked towards Cheng Shicheng. Seeing Shangguan's etiquette, the official called: "Uncle Cheng, forgive me for being rude just now."

Cheng Shicheng thought that the future would be long, and choosing a day would be better than bumping into it. It would be better to tell Gu Ningxi to quit first, so he remained motionless and did not follow Tao Xinhe. At this moment, he pondered for a while before responding: "I guessed it on my own. It turns out that Gu Sicheng is ill. That's no wonder. It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. I intend to invite Si Cheng to drink. I wonder if I have the honor?"

Mo Qiqi waited in the room for a long time, wondering why Tao Shi ran away angrily, and asked Shishu who had been staying in the corner of the room. In Madam's heart, it should be the little goblin who ruined her and the master, but in the end you made a fortune and wanted to be someone else's younger sister, Madam must think you are talking nonsense, maybe you think you are showing off or have ulterior motives, can you not be angry what?

Mo Qiqi couldn't figure out why, so he went out of the room wonderingly, stopped and stopped, but didn't find any trace of Tao Shi, but saw brother Xi and another man facing each other silently.

She consciously walked to Gu Ningxi's side, retracted half of her body, and asked softly, "Brother Xi, what are you doing? Who is that person opposite?"

Cheng Shicheng naturally saw the person coming, and contacted the gossip that came to his ears by accident, saying that Gu Ningxi was stunned by a woman outside, and his wife was no longer there, etc. He naturally guessed that this timid woman was the one who caused Tao Xinhe to propose He Li's introduction.

Out of curiosity, he inevitably looked at Mo Qiqi a few more times. Mo Qiqi felt it, and hid himself behind Gu Ningxi, gently grabbing the corner of his clothes.

Listening to Cheng Shicheng's words, Gu Ningxi always felt that he was a bit eccentric. When she received an invitation to drink, she remembered his unique way of calling "A Tao" just now, but the lady still acquiesced, her pride and anger suddenly arose, as if she had forgotten her own drinking capacity, and she was about to accept it , as soon as he said "I", he was interrupted by Mo Qiqi.

Oh, by the way, Qiniang is still there, and Gu Ningxi was so interested in inquiring about the relationship between Ji Changbo and his wife that she almost forgot about it. He turned his head to look at Mo Qiqi, couldn't help sighing, pulled his clothes out, and signaled Mo Qiqi to stand beside him.

Then, for the first time in her life, Gu Ningxi introduced to others: "Let the uncle laugh, this is my righteous sister, Miss Mo. Today we have something to do with the brothers and sisters, next time we can have a drink with the uncle, okay?"

Step sister? Cheng Shicheng didn't expect that Gu Ningxi would introduce this girl to him generously. Why isn't she a new favorite? And come up with such a tortuous name?

"Uncle? What kind of uncle are you?" Mo Qiqi bit her lip and asked softly, staring at Cheng Shicheng with big eyes. It was the first time in her two lives that she saw such a noble person.

Cheng Shicheng was a little skeptical, could it be that Gu Ningxi's new favorite is someone else? Isn't it the one in front of you? If it is said that Gu Ningxi was so angry with Tao Xinhe and divorced because of such an innocent and simple girl, it would be too unbelievable.

According to his observation, in terms of pretty features, this Miss Mo might be a little better than Atao, with big eyes and small mouth, matching her delicately and pitifully. And A Tao's slender eyebrows and eyes are not the kind and bright eyes that are sought after by everyone nowadays.

In terms of body shape, Atao is similar to Concubine Yang, plump and fit, and her skin is radiant and radiant, like curdling fat. Miss Mo seems to have not yet grown up, she is thin and skinny, it's a joke to insist on Fengyun, maybe someone likes it? Cheng Shicheng declined to comment.

However, in terms of speech and demeanor, A Tao is so elegant and gentle, so generous and appropriate, this girl can't even catch up with her.

Gu Ningxi showed embarrassment, and lightly reprimanded "Qiniang!" Even if she was as blunt as him, she knew that Mo Qiqi's question was inappropriate.

Cheng Shicheng waved his hand, first smiled at Gu Ningxi and said, "Ling Yimei is innocent, Gu Sicheng has her company, how relieved. Does A Tao like this little sister too?" There was a thorn in the end of the sentence, and it was also secretly asking the relationship between the three of them. relation.

Without waiting for Gu Ningxi to answer carefully, he leaned slightly, looked into Mo Qiqi's eyes and replied, "Miss Mo, right? The emperor gave my family the title of Jichang, and I will descend from my father, Marquis of Jichang, to the rank of Jichang. Uncle, do you understand that?"

Mo Qiqi's eyes widened when he heard the words, and the fragments of words he heard in the old Gu's mansion in his previous life flooded into his heart, and he blurted out: "Didn't Uncle Ji Chang die of illness in the first month of the third year of Yongsheng?"

Right now, it is the third year of Yongsheng, the 30th day of the first month, the last day of the first month.

Gu Ningxi coughed shockingly, calmed down a little, and quickly apologized: "She is talking nonsense, uncle forgive me. Apologize quickly!"

Mo Qiqi woke up like a dream, and kept saying "I'm sorry".

Cheng Shicheng rubbed his nose and asked, "Miss Mo, why did you say that?"
