MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-Chapter 64
"Ning Niang, I'll see your cousin Xi later, so please speak nicely, you know?" Second Aunt Gu told her own daughter in the carriage.
Second Aunt Gu thought that at the invitation of Uncle Ji Changbo, she and Master Gu would take their daughter to live in a mountain villa in the suburbs of Beijing for a while, so that Gu Runing and Cheng Jia could cultivate their friendship. Before leaving, I have to take care of all the affairs in the capital. I can rest assured that the mansion is handed over to the nominal eldest daughter-in-law Gu Ninglie. No one cared about the old Gu mansion, but she missed her husband and nephew Gu Ningxi.
On the evening of February 14th, Second Aunt Gu couldn't wait for Gu Ningxi's reply, so she was worried, and she brought her daughter to the door without invitation, which was also a thank you for Gu Ningxi's dowry at the beginning of the month.
Gu Runing was reluctant, and muttered: "Cousin Xi can't be coaxed back to my sister-in-law, so I don't want to talk to him. To be honest, if it wasn't for my sister-in-law, he wouldn't say anything when he saw me. It's really boring to be able to call Ning Niang."
Second Aunt Gu didn't answer, and sighed. How could she not know that He Niang is really an excellent helper, but it's a pity that the relationship between the two is not close, so it's hard to separate them. Although the reputation of Heli women is not very good, most of them will be miserable for the rest of their lives, but when Gu Ningxi leaves He Niang, it is like an old man losing his walking stick, a farmer losing his iron plow, and losing his reliance all at once. many.
As for He Niang, she may not be like other Heli women, pitifully relying on her natal brother-in-law or sister-in-law to live. The amount of property that Gu Ningxi distributed to her was well known to everyone present that day, and He Niang made money well, enough for her to buy a house and live comfortably.
Second Aunt Gu even guessed Ji Changbo's thoughts, although she was puzzled why such a man with a hidden disease acted like chasing him, but what if? People just like He Niang, are they willing to marry a good-looking girl? I used to hear people talk about ancient times, saying that the arrogant eunuchs in the previous dynasty married ten or eight wives.
From now on, it's hard to say how brother Xi and He Niang will live their lives. Second Aunt Gu just felt sorry, there was clearly a pair of strange and good-looking Bi people standing together, and the relationship was flowing, but it was a pity that she was torn apart by a little girl who didn't know her origin.
"Who are you?" A soft and delicate female voice sounded, asking the mother and daughter who had just got off the carriage.
Gu Runing frowned. She was both puzzled and disgusted by the appearance of a woman in heavy filial piety at the door of her cousin's mansion. Why is this person wandering around? Isn't it too bad luck? Even asking visitors in the attitude of a host, there are no rules!
The butler put a bitter face aside, greeted Second Aunt Gu and Gu Runing, and then told Mo Qiqi softly: "These two are the master's second aunt and cousin, and you were rude just now." Even as a servant, The butler couldn't stand Mo Qiqi's words and deeds, so he couldn't help but remind him.
Holding her mother's arm, Gu Runing asked the housekeeper plainly while walking towards the inner courtyard, "Why are there so many idlers in the house? Where's Cousin Xi?" She didn't pay any attention to Mo Qiqi.
Mo Qiqi had been in the Xingu Mansion for a few days, and had already been bored to the core. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Are you brother and sister Xi too? Well, I might... that counts. Tell me how old you are, let's see." Which of us is the elder sister and who is the younger sister. Brother Xi, he is very busy. Since he brought me back, he has been stuck in the study, and I have never seen him. "
Gu Runing stopped abruptly, and scolded with a cold face: "Who are you, where did you come from, and you just flirted with my sister and sister. What's the matter with you? Why didn't you stay at home during the filial piety, and ran into my hall randomly?" Brother's house?"
Mo Qiqi heard that the person's voice was wrong, so he pouted, ignoring that he and Gu Runing didn't know each other at all, and hastily explained: "My name is Mo Qiqi, and I want to be brother Xi's concubine. He once promised and then backed out, so , let me count him as his righteous sister, anyway, he has to take care of me."
Gu Runing seemed to have realized something, and stared at Mo Qiqi in the ambiguous light of dusk.
However, the other party didn't realize it, and pulled the plain white linen clothes on his body, and continued: "My brother has been dead for more than a month. If it was in our country, where would we need to guard for so long, the clothes would be removed at the full moon, and the work would be done. Farming the land. But Brother Xi said, I am my brother’s only family member, and I have to wear it for a hundred days, so you can see that I am filial. But I should have passed the bad days that you people in the capital say, right? Within the first seven?"
While talking, Mo Qiqi's own brain slowly turned to understand, and matched the mother and daughter with the Gu family in the previous life. Gu Runing rarely came to the old Gu's mansion, and when he occasionally came, he would not say anything to anyone Ha, Miss Ru Ning! The Second Mrs. Gu is the soft lady who always greets the servants with a smile, but bows her head and only says "yes" to the masters of the old Gu family!
Mo Qiqi thought to herself, she was trapped in Gu Ning's house in her previous life, and she had almost never dealt with these two people, and she had neither good nor bad feelings for them. The mistress Cao mentioned that they had no good words, and Cao was abusing her He is a bad person until death, so the two female relatives of the Gu family can associate with each other.
Mo Qiqi laughed out loud, and her tone suddenly became affectionate: "Miss Ru Ning... well, I'll call you Niang Ning, please get closer, okay?"
She asked and answered by herself, ignoring Gu Runing's white eyes: "What did you ask me just now? Why did you come to Brother Xi's house? Well, because I was taken away by a very powerful villain a few days ago and then released again. I'm afraid, living outside, I don't feel at ease anywhere, so I forced Brother Xi to take me back to the mansion. Brother Xi is still the boss, hehe."
Gu Runing's eyelids were almost rolled up to the sky, and he simply stopped and questioned a skinny girl who seemed to be the same age: "Who took you away and brought you back, what did you do to my cousin? Why did you rely on him? That is, my cousin is not here, My cousin is soft-hearted and stupid, you take this opportunity to be presumptuous, right? According to me, you can go back wherever you came from."
Mo Qiqi instinctively wanted to refute, it was because he was with brother Xi that he saw that bad guy, and he was following him to "please" go back. As he was about to say something, he suddenly remembered that the mistress Cao in the previous life was so angry with Gu Runing, it seemed that it was because she climbed a high branch and did not bring Gu Ningran with her.
Gao Zhi is Ji Changbo's adoptive son! It was Ji Changbo's house that held her overnight!
Mo Qiqi swallowed his words, walked quickly with a dull head, arrived in front of Gu Ningxi's study room, knocked on the door vigorously, and shouted: "Brother Xi, there is a visitor! This time I am not disturbing you, trying to trick you out of the house, but Second Madam Gu." Miss He Runing is here to see you!"
After a while, the door was opened by the people inside. Gu Ningxi had an unshaven beard, black eyes, and wrinkled clothes. She clasped her hands on the door leaf and nodded towards the outside. Ning Niang is here. Forgive me for being rude, there are ancient books borrowed from the Ministry of Rites in the study, I dare not leave without authorization, what do you guys do?"
"Of course there is something to do! Brother Xi, we will not move when we go in. We will just stand behind your study door and don't sit down, just talk to you." Gu Runing replied angrily.
Gu Ningxi seemed to close her eyes and think for a moment before taking a step back and inviting the guests in.
After Second Aunt Gu and Gu Runing walked in, he shook his head, not allowing the maid to follow in, and said to Mo Qiqi: "Qiniang, I said, if you enter the mansion, you can do it yourself, but just pretend I'm not there. Just pretend that we are not in the same mansion, remember? Except for the main room in the inner courtyard, you can’t enter, other places, you can play by yourself.”
Mo Qiqi was almost slapped on the tip of his nose by the door, and quickly burst into tears. With a "hum", he sat on the spot outside the study, muttering: "If you were the only one in the study a few days ago, it would be fine to deliver the meals." Just send it outside the room door, that's all. Tonight, others can enter, why don't you let me in, Brother Xi is too bad, it seems that if you really become your concubine, it will be no good."
She took the cushion that Liu Guang handed over with a sigh, stuffed it under her buttocks, Da Lala sat cross-legged on the stone steps a little far away, staring at the door panel, thinking of Gu Runing.
In the previous life, it seemed that Miss Runing's future father-in-law, Ji Changbo, died of illness suddenly, and Mo Qiqi was in the inner house, listening to bits and pieces of news, saying that she did not marry into the uncle's residence, as if her fiancé-in-law hated the old Gu's residence and the second wife of the Gu family, So to break off the engagement, from time to time make trouble for Master Gu and Gu Ningran.
Gu Ningran once talked in her sleep intermittently in her room, saying that the surname Cheng was a lunatic, fortunately he followed martial arts rather than literature, otherwise it would be even worse to bite him.
Isn't the surname Cheng the one that Miss Ru Ning is going to marry?
Of course, Mo Qiqi didn't say a single word of these words to Ji Changbo, he just rolled in his heart. She thought, when the guests left, she would ask Brother Xi if Miss Ru Ning married Cheng, and there are many things in this life that are different.
**
At noon on February 15th, it began to rain lightly, and Tao Xinqiang was very worried, so she pestered her sister to ask if she would be affected by the weather when she went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing tomorrow.
Tao Xinhe hurriedly arranged for his servants to explore the road. If the soil on the road was loose, it would naturally be postponed. After all, it is safe to take a pregnant woman.
Father also has to think about it, if Tao Cheng encounters rainy weather, he will always stay on the couch and never go out. Therefore, on the day of the trip, he must be willing to leave when the sun is shining.
To appease the third sister, Tao Xinhe took a straw hat, a coir raincoat, and a skirt and walked a few steps quickly from her own yard to her younger brother's yard to visit Hong, and told her that there might be changes in the play plan, so that the pregnant woman would not have nothing to worry about all day long. .
After entering the door, the hem of the clothes and the toe of the shoes were in the rain, Tao Xinhe was afraid to bring Hong's cold, so he didn't dare to approach, so he sat down on the Arhat couch by the door and explained the situation.
It was about time for the sunflower water to come again, Tao Xinhe felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, and suddenly sincerely hoped that the rain would last for a day or two, and she would stay dormant in the mansion, and go out when the weather cleared and she would feel refreshed.
She quietly covered her abdomen with her hands, and just as she was about to leave, she heard Hong say, "Eldest sister, I sent a letter to Gu Sicheng to ask for a painting. Don't worry, I just say that the Hong family accepts his favor. In the morning, Gu Sicheng's reply It’s here, I’ve agreed with me. He’s busy these days, and he’s scheduled to wait until the second half of the year. I’ll also forward you a text message. Please read it. I guess I sent it in before, and you probably tore it up. Throw it away."
Tao Xinhe just wanted to smile wryly, but Hong Shi moved quickly, so she still asked for a painting.
As for Gu Ningxi, she also learned how to surround Wei and save Zhao. On the eleventh and twelfth, she handed over two letters in a row, but she really didn't even read them. Right now, the maid beside her siblings respectfully took the letters over. The handwriting reads "Tao Jushi's Personal Invitation", and the inscription only includes the word "Gu", which seems to be too familiar.
Tao Xinhe bit her lip, held back her anger and took it, thinking that she would take it away and tear it up before she heard Hong say, "Sister, forgive me for being rude. Gu Sicheng wrote back and said, help me draw that painting again." , the asking price is seven hundred taels, which is an increase of 40% from the original price, and if he can get your reply to him, he will not take a penny."
Tao Xinhe snorted and laughed, when did Gu Ningxi have such a mind? What did the siblings say?
Hong's voice turned down: "Sister, do you want to... answer a few words at will? I still want seven hundred taels from there. At that time, half of it will be for you, and half for me and Mu Xian. Look, okay?"
Tao Xinhe got up abruptly, and the "brother and sister" sounded like a warning, which made Hong mutter in fright, and said to himself: "I just want to buy some good books and pens and ink for Mu Xian, they are very expensive, big sister... big sister, don't give birth to me. I'm angry."
Sigh... No matter how angry she is, she can't vent her anger. Tao Xinhe can only reiterate: "You and Gu Ningxi are asking for a painting, don't involve me. I'll go back to my room first, so you can rest and recuperate. Don't think too much about it."
The pace was extremely fast, and Tao Xinhe rushed back to her room in a panic, not avoiding the small puddle on the ground. It provoked Qingfang to babble that she didn't know how to take good care of her body, and she helped the master change clothes, brush hair, feed the soup lady, and feed **** soup.
Tao Xinhe always felt a suffocation, no matter how hard she rubbed her heart, she couldn't relieve it. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the letters piled up in the corner with the wet clothes. .
She wanted to see, what Gu Ningxi tried to tell her was worth seven hundred taels of silver! This is the price for a piece of high-quality fertile land. Could it be that Gu Sicheng really thinks that his words are perfect?
