"A Tao, are you okay? I see that your walking posture is a bit strange. Is it a foot, a knee or a leg? Is there something wrong?"

The mellow male voice moved from far to near, fixed on Tao Xinhe's side. She turned her head slightly, and saw Cheng Shicheng who was looking at her with concern.

"Uncle, I...I just left in a hurry and was rude. Where's my father?" Tao Xinhe had just been stimulated by Gu Ningxi, and when he heard Cheng Shicheng's careful observation and gentle questioning, for the first time, different ripples appeared in his heart. But she avoided answering and talked about him from left to right.

Cheng Shicheng secretly rejoiced that he easily caught up with the beautiful woman at the gate of Zhuangzi. I don't know if it's because the woman's pace is too slow or too small, or Tao Xinhe walks slowly and waits for Tao Cheng on purpose?

He replied: "The doctor is seeing Gu Sicheng, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to be very cooperative. Uncle Tao is in charge of the room."

While "swiping", he opened the dark paper umbrella that the servant had just handed to him, and lifted it above Tao Xinhe's head to shade her from the sun.

The female relatives are more delicate, and when walking in the sun, the servants will hold an umbrella from behind to provide a shade, which is said to be beneficial to nourish the skin and keep it as white as jade.

Tao Xinhe has been in a hurry since she was a teenager, and every day when she opens her eyes, there are a lot of chores waiting for her to make up her mind, rushing to and from the mansion, shop, and carriage, and imitating the idle ladies and young ladies in other families. The pomp and ostentation quickly disliked trouble and burdensomeness, and no servants were allowed to follow her to hold an umbrella, so as not to affect her turning and walking.

Therefore, Qingfang and another little maid followed her into the villa and left the village, and Qingfang said: "The sun is the most poisonous on the day after the rain, so don't let the layman burn."

At this time, Cheng Shicheng suddenly covered it like this, and Tao Xinhe suddenly felt that the sun was no longer glaring, and he felt more comfortable.

She naturally opened her eyes wide, glanced at the man beside her, looked at his honey-colored skin and stretched muscles, met his fiery eyes and smiling lips, and immediately realized in her heart that this person was very different from Gu Ningxi.

Tao Xinhe took two steps sideways, and refused to say that it was unnecessary.

But Cheng Shicheng insisted on holding up, and approached Tao Xinhe to wrap her under the umbrella. He also mentioned that when the two first met, it was raining and he had held up an umbrella for Ah Tao. It doesn't make sense that it was okay at the beginning, but now that you are more familiar with it, it can't work?

That's right, it happened to be the seventh day of the first lunar month. Tao Xinhe was called to the uncle's mansion, and returned to her own mansion at noon, when she met Gu Ningxi who came back to ask for a concubine.

Tao Xinhe found that she could think of Gu Ningxi no matter how much she wandered around, she was deeply discouraged and resentful, so she simply said to Cheng Shicheng: "Uncle's kindness, I am ashamed of it. Now I am a free body, but not a free heart. It's really disappointing. Uncle, it's better not to spend too much time on me."

Cheng Shicheng laughed out loud when he heard the words, feeling that the sun had sunned into his heart and brought him hope.

Seeing Tao Xinhe stepping up, Cheng Shicheng followed closely, leaned towards her with an umbrella in one hand, and whispered his words into her ear: "A Tao, if you are willing to admit this, it is the beginning of healing."

"Healing?"

"Reconciliation is the first step in your separation. And you look squarely at your heart and see that there is still Gu Ningxi in it. You have changed your blindly concealing yourself and pretending to be a couple for three years before being completely wiped out. It is you... and I can help, yes Your heart is the first step of prescribing the right medicine and clearing up the old people. I am very happy to hear you confess to me, and I want to hold you back and forth between the two Zhuangzi, do you believe it?"

Tao Xinhe lowered her head, looked at her toes protruding from the bottom of her skirt by chance, then slightly raised her eyes to look at the road in front of her, her eyes were full of green, they had already reached the edge of the weeds.

If she realized something, Tao Xinhe stretched out her hand to touch the grass leaves by her waist, felt the rich green juice in the leaves, and slowly thought while saying, "What Uncle means is that my heart may be like this wilderness, overgrown with weeds. , Gu Ningxi was written on every blade of grass, but I pretended to be deaf and blind, allowing them to grow wildly. Only by facing them squarely can we open the way and find the direction leading to new life, right?"

Cheng Shicheng praised her for her intelligence. Tao Xinhe instantly thought of Gu Ningxi saying that her greatest strength is her courage and responsibility, but at this moment she felt, so what if she thinks of Gu Ningxi? It shows that she is neither stupid nor old, and has a good memory.

Thinking of this, Tao Xinhe felt that the burden in his heart was not so heavy, and he didn't need to blame himself too much, and said sincerely: "Thank you uncle for enlightening me, it has a miraculous effect on me."

Listening to the words, she must have thought of her ex-husband just now, but there was no unconscious frowning and pursing of lips when Gu Ningxi was mentioned before, Cheng Shicheng felt sad and relieved.

He secretly comforted himself that it was not an option to be covered with pus and blood, it had to be punctured and painful to grow new muscles. A Tao's remaining complex emotions towards Gu Ningxi are like pus and blood. It is far more difficult for him to be a good doctor to clear up A Tao's mind than drawing a knife.

Continuing to walk with the beautiful woman, Cheng Shicheng proposed: "A Tao, let me accompany you back to Beijing tomorrow, let's be a companion on the way."

Tao Xinhe let go of her arms, no longer intentionally shy away, and asked instead: "Did uncle forget that there is a seriously ill and injured person in your village? You just leave behind the admired and reluctant imperial court?" The last sentence was Cheng Shicheng's request When drawing the sword for Gu Ningxi, he praised his words.

"When your father and daughter came to say goodbye in the morning, I intended to accompany you. But at that time, Gu Sicheng was still awake, and the situation was hard to say. Naturally, I had to fulfill my responsibilities as a master and take care of myself. Tao also saw the situation just now, and he I can try my best to get out of bed, it can be seen that there is no serious problem, after that it will be a matter of recuperation. Zhuangzi lives with him, but I don't have to accompany him, just leave Jiaer here."

Tao Xinhe was so stuck that she had nothing to say, so she managed to deal with it in a blunt manner: "Uncle, you can decide for yourself. There are pregnant women in our party, so the car dealership must not go fast, I'm afraid you will dislike it."

Cheng Shicheng took it as a tacit consent, became elated, turned his head and shouted to the servants who were following far away: "I'm looking for a supervisor, I will go back to Beijing with Tao Mansion tomorrow, and let him arrange it."

He turned around and chatted with Tao Xinhe again, whether he should let his family be the carriage to pull the Tao family's pregnant woman, whether the two sides should get together and so on. Tao Xinhe either responded or refused, and the atmosphere between the two was so harmonious.

Taofu Zhuangzi is right in front of you.

Cheng Shicheng has been thinking about the crux of Gu Ningxi's early awakening that Tao Xinhe must be concerned about, hesitated all the way, and finally tugged on her cuff to attract Tao Xinhe's attention, and sighed softly: "I am really a good person."

After receiving Tao Xinhe's puzzled glance, he opened his voice to explain: "I asked Miss Mo. Gu Sicheng only kept her here because he told her something she knew a long time ago. A Tao, don't look at me like that, I Not a saint, not for Gu Ningxi, but for your comfort."

Miss Mo was bullied before, I guess you know, Gu Sicheng told her who that person was, nothing else. It's not the mutual confession of affection that we usually think, the secret talk is just Gu Ningxi taking care of Miss Quan's face. "

"You also know?" Tao Xinhe asked the word "yes" after listening to his vigorous words.

Cheng Shicheng didn't expect Tao Xinhe to react like this, so he couldn't help asking: "A Tao seems to know it already, but it's difficult for me to struggle all the way. What's going on?"

Without waiting for Tao Xinhe's response, Tao Xinqiang came out, hugged her sister's arm affectionately, raised her head to greet Cheng Shicheng, asked why her father was away, and chatted about the affairs of the village and sister-in-law's situation, the two of them naturally couldn't continue talking.

Cheng Shicheng made up his mind to leave tomorrow, asked Tao's departure time, watched the two sisters go back to their room, turned back to the village, told the two adopted sons, said goodbye to Gu Ningxi, etc., and so on.

**

In the capital city, the sun sets on the west mountain, and the last halo paints an ambiguous red on the old Gu's mansion that has stood for many years.

Sending off the young and old of the Gu family, Gu Ningran and his daughter-in-law, Cao Shi, closed the door and hugged each other to celebrate, but...it was so easy...without any effort...Gu Ningxi was kicked out of the Gu clan!

The night before yesterday, Gu Ningran woke up and heard that Tao Shi had written a letter of accountability to her grandmother. She was so angry that she cursed. When she looked in the mirror and saw her forehead was deeply injured, she scolded Gu Ningxi and Tao Shi together, and was stopped by Cao Shi.

Cao asked him how he planned to deal with it.

Gu Ningran said that he wanted to be a hobbit, no matter how the opponent made a move, he would never accept it or ignore it, at worst he would disagree, and quarrel to the point of tearing his face, he was not afraid or cared.

But Cao said, isn't it ten thousand times better to be a Daozu than to be a hob meat? Why don't they strike first?

At that time, Cao took out a kind of pill and told Gu Ningran that it could temporarily make her speechless, making her look sick. As long as the battle is resolved quickly, when the dust settles, grandma won't have an outbreak again.

Gu Ningran, as her most beloved grandson, worked hard to take care of the sick, maybe her grandmother would not notice the difference from the beginning to the end. What Cao didn't say was that once this medicine was taken, Mrs. Gu would not have a good day.

This is a secret medicine that she spent a long time collecting, it is extremely expensive and rare, and it is a good thing prepared for her mother-in-law and Gu Ningran's mother.

Gu Ningran was surprised when he heard it at first, when he was about to scold his wife for plotting against his elders, when Cao Shi eloquently explained how to preemptive strikes, he was dumbfounded for a while.

After pretending to think about it, Gu Ningran repeated Cao's words, and said, "Excuse me all over the place to pay back the money. It's best to drive Gu Ningxi out of the clan, and it's very likely that he will pay me a large sum of money for my disfigurement, and the worst is It's just a tie between the two of us. I won't hold him accountable for dragging me into the water, and he won't mention stabbing me. Let's just pass by. Okay, the daughter-in-law has the foresight and a way. I'll go find my father, and we will fight with the patriarch and other young and old together Let's talk about it."

Mrs. Cao added: "My mother-in-law has already raised a sum of money from the accountant in the house, saying that she wants to make amends to Gu Ningxi. You go and ask for it, and give it to the Gu's clan, isn't it better to speak?"

In this way, the two went smoothly. In less than two days, they completed a series of things that should have been tedious and lengthy, such as opening the ancestral hall to worship ancestors, removing Gu Ningxi's genealogy, writing letters to Hannan's hometown, and reporting to the relevant government officials in the capital. program of.

How carefree Gu Ningran is!

Letting go of Cao, he crossed his feet, held the bronze mirror in one hand, powdered his forehead with the other, and murmured: "He, Gu Ningxi, has his day too, hmph! For a woman, whether it's Tao's or Mo's', it depends on whether he is worth it or not." When? Tomorrow, I’m going to be on vacation, and I hope my colleagues won’t see the wound. My wife will buy some fine powder in the future, you and I will both use it.”

Cao Shi was not angry at him: "All the good makeup is in your concubine's room."

Gu Ningxi waved her hand and said something else: "By the way, daughter-in-law, Brother Lie and the others yelled a few times today, saying that Gu Ningxi was recuperating at Jichangbo Zhuangzi. Fortunately, I held him down, and not many people heard it." You said, it can't be true, right? Ji Changbo won't support Gu Ningxi, will he? "

The author has something to say:

Wisdom and insight vs courage and responsibility.

It seems that the former focuses on ability, while the latter refers to character.

Dear angel readers, if it were you, which word do you prefer to be praised?
