MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-v2 Chapter 67
On February 17th, the weather finally cleared up. Looking at the bright spring, people feel better for no reason.
Being entangled by Qiangniang was unbearable, Tao Xinhe thought about the affairs at hand, and gave a promise letter: "My good sister, let's set off tomorrow, okay? Zhuangzi has already arranged a loan with someone else, and he won't run away with long legs. You Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Why not tomorrow, sister. Ning Niang and the others seem to have gone to Uncle Jichang's Zhuangzi on the 16th day despite the rain. Can we meet them?" Tao Xinqiang persisted and asked the bottom line.
Tao Xinhe was in a difficult situation, if it wasn't for avoiding Cheng Shicheng, why would she ask Zhuangzi one by one and find another one to borrow money from? Fortunately, there is a Zhuangzi area in the suburbs of Beijing. As long as my family members are playing near Zhuangzi, they will never run into each other. Fortunately, the time is staggered. I hope they will return to Beijing within a few days, that would be even better.
With a long sigh of relief, Tao Xinhe tapped her shoulder and instructed her younger sister: "Why are there so many problems, come and help me pinch my neck. Your second sister is pregnant again, and I have already told you. We always have to send things to Quezhou Pack it up and send it out tomorrow, so you can rest assured. By the way, didn't you say that there is still a tiger head hat that has been embroidered for half a year, and you want to send it to Rong's parents? Get it quickly and put it in the package. "
Tao Xinqiang was reminded, and then gave her sister a few hasty massages, then jumped up and ran to go back to her yard to get things.
Tao Xinhe smiled and shook her head at her sister's back. Qingfang came over without making a sound, helping her continue to massage her shoulders and neck, while she picked up the pen, and An Sheng continued to write the list of gifts from her natal family to Tao Xinrong. some.
Fortunately, she came back to her senses in time, took a closer look, and found that it wasn't defaced, so she tugged at the corners of her lips in a self-conscious manner. It can't affect her emotions just because Quezhou is the hometown of the Mo brothers and sisters, right?
It's better to concentrate on walking the ceremony. Tao Xinhe reminded herself secretly, but then remembered something, and asked, "Qingfang, there are two jade carvings in the warehouse, the Son-giving Guanyin, right?"
Qingfang was in Tao Mansion, and soon she was in charge of the warehouse and account room as she was in Gu Mansion before. It's at the place of the second aunt in Quezhou.
Tao Xinhe patted the back of Qingfang's hand, and murmured: "Don't make me laugh, my neck is sore and swollen, use more strength. Where can I get a pair to give away Guanyin? Take it out, give one to Quezhou, and the other One, send it to the younger brother and sister's yard."
Qingfang should be, her hands kept moving. Tao Xinhe frowned, and then ordered softly: "Qingfang, send it to your younger siblings in person, ask her how she is in the past two days, and tell her about the scheduled departure the day after tomorrow. We are ready for the big things, and she Take things with you and make arrangements for yourself."
"Well, and... if she asks about me, she'll just say that I'm a little busy with housework, so I'll just ask you to tell me something. When I go to the suburbs of Beijing to relax, I'll accompany her slowly, so that she won't be surprised." Tao Xinhe If it is supplemented.
**
Gu Ningxi suddenly heard that Tao Mansion was going out of Beijing to play, and before she had time to think about it, she turned around and went to Tao Mansion, hoping to see her at some point.
Shishu chased after him: "Master, where are you going? If it's far away, can you hire a carriage?"
Gu Ningxi didn't hear it, and was full of thoughts, whether the lady and the others had already set off to leave the capital, and they were walking faster and faster, the corners of the dark blue robe fluttered, as if he was in a state of anxiety.
Walking through the busy city, he caught sight of the back of a woman in a **** dress by the side of the road, his heart beat violently, he stopped suddenly, and his eyes locked.
Shishu catches up panting, leaning on his knees and panting, wanting to say "Master, Shihua is still guarding your words in the private room of the restaurant, not daring to move, what are we doing", but he is busy trying to get his breath right and say no come out.
Gu Ningxi was very surprised to find that his ability to recognize people from their backs seemed to have improved. Only then did he take a quick look, the color of the clothes of the woman who was facing away from him reminded him of a lady, but when he took a closer look, the person's size and mannerisms must not be He Niang.
Looking back suddenly, he was not a beautiful woman, and he felt lost.
Gu Ningxi clenched her hands into fists, and unconsciously scanned the surrounding shops, and saw that obliquely in front of her was Yanchun Pavilion, a very famous jewelry shop where female customers kept coming in and out.
I feel ashamed when I think about it, the couple have been married for more than three years, Gu Ningxi just had a sudden enlightenment in the twelfth lunar month of last year, and it was the first time to buy magpie branches and hair for his wife, just in this shop, it seems that it didn't reach her heart.
In a daze, Gu Ningxi rubbed shoulders with the female guest and walked into the Yanchun Pavilion. Li Shu followed behind and smacked their tongues. This shop is precious. Their masters and servants had just gone to the Ministry of Rites and were going back to the wine shop. They didn't bring any money, so what are you going to do?
The clerk greeted her warmly, and asked Gu Ningxi what kind of jewelry she wanted to see.
The last time the couple had a rare visit to the market, the conversation they had here hand in hand, came to Gu Ningxi's mind. At that time, the lady said as if she was angry, if she annoyed her, she would stop wearing **** clothes, and Gu Ningxi couldn't find him no matter how hard she searched.
A prophecy. Gu Ningxi recalled very clearly that since the seventh day of the first lunar month, he had only seen his wife a few times, and she had never worn **** yellow.
However, Gu Ningxi recalled uncertainly, did he recognize the lady every time? Even if you dare not blurt out the name? Even provoked the lady to ridicule him?
Does it mean that people who are as blind as him can recognize people with sincerity without relying on fixed clothes, hairstyles or even incense?
Seeing the well-dressed and haggard young male guest in front of him, who seemed to be in a daze, the staff of Yanchun Pavilion suspected that he was delaying the business, so he raised his voice a little, and asked Gu Ningxi what he wanted.
Gu Ningxi came back to her senses, and found that she was still standing in front of someone's shop, she suddenly felt ashamed, and quickly turned sideways to avoid it.
He just wanted to tell the man to look at the pearl necklace and earrings, because the sweet and crisp voice of the lady lingered in his heart, "Pearls nourish the mind, more gentle than jade, just like my husband." It's always like this recently, after divorce , the bits and pieces and daily gossip that the lady said before would linger in his ears from time to time, as if the lady was still by his side.
At this moment, a female family member with a round figure, about half a circle wider than Gu Ningxi, staggered towards the door and rubbed him.
Drilling into the nose is a familiar aroma! Gu Ningxi didn't care about the discomfort she felt when she was bumped unintentionally, and quickly recalled where the familiarity came from.
He remembered! Last time, on the 30th day of the first lunar month, I met my wife in a wine shop, and the spice she used was exactly this kind. For this reason, Gu Ningxi once asked the spice shop to deliver different kinds of spices to the Tao Mansion for many days. She wanted to be favored by He Niang, but all of them returned in failure.
Gu Ningxi hastily stretched out her arm and then retracted it, blocking it meaningfully, wanting to ask the name of this spice.
The woman who was stopped raised her eyebrows and almost blurted out scolding "Deng Tuzi", but after seeing Gu Ningxi's appearance clearly, her cheeks fainted quietly, and she asked in a soft voice: "I don't know each other, what are you doing? "
Gu Ningxi glanced at the woman's blurred face, her heart pounded, her tongue was full of garlic, and when she suddenly heard "I've never met you before", she let go of half her heart.
But before opening his mouth, he hesitated again, he couldn't see the woman's appearance, and he didn't know how old or young she was, so how should he address the person he met by chance?
Gu Ningxi tentatively said, "This... this eldest sister..."
"Who? Who is the eldest sister? Blind your eyes! I'm not married yet!" The woman's voice suddenly rose, and she poked a little bit with her chubby index finger, almost piercing Gu Ningxi's chest. He dodged left and right, really embarrassed.
The woman pressed her forward step by step, Gu Ningxi retreated quietly: "Look at your handsome appearance, why can't you speak so well? You stopped him for no reason, and opened your mouth to scream, so strange. What's the matter with you?"
Seeing that the situation is not good when reading books, he intervened in the middle, like smearing honey on his mouth, "beautiful girl" is long and "pretty girl" is short, and he coaxed the girl for the time being. Stuck feet, at a loss, frequently moved backwards. He claimed to be the servant who knew his master best, but he was confused by Gu Ningxi's unexpected blocking just now, so he was half a beat behind.
It took me a long time to coax her to read the book, and then Gu Ningxi asked the answer of "Osmanthus fragrans" from a strange woman, and bowed deeply to express her gratitude.
The woman stomped her feet to teach him not to be so reckless in the future, with a coquettish tone, and when she heard that Gu Ningxi only promised, she turned and left satisfied.
The jewelry shop clerk shrank his head and avoided it, but now he bowed his waist and asked the girl to walk slowly, then turned his head and changed his face to Gu Ningxi: "My guest, you came to our shop to make trouble? You almost offended our distinguished customer, didn't you?"
However, Gu Ningxi couldn't see the two faces of the clerk who looked like he had a face-changing skill, so he could only hear the anger in his tone, and quickly shook his head and said: "That's not the case, I was rude just now, I came to your shop to buy some pearl ornaments. "
In just a few words, the clerk recognized that Gu Ningxi was the kind of self-proclaimed gentleman who took advantage of him because he was stupid in reading and reading, so he changed his face again, invited Gu Ningxi to the back, and introduced him to jewelry Come.
The buddy said both inside and out: "The girl will be happy when she receives this." "Which woman doesn't like this shape?" Gu Ningxi seemed to be under a gu, nodding frequently, buying this one, and deciding on that one, hurry up Get to know the book and stomp your feet.
In the final settlement, Gu Ningxi spent 800 taels, which was more than three times his monthly salary. The clerk couldn't help but grin from ear to ear, and took each "guest" one at a time, promising to properly box each package and deliver it in the afternoon. Enter the house of Wailang, a pottery officer from the Ministry of Industry.
A few days ago, when he was in his study room asking Second Aunt Gu for advice on how to chase his wife, Gu Ningxi remembered the elder's advice to him not to give gifts to He Niang alone.
Gu Ningxi looked through the jewelry album again, borrowed a pen and paper from the shop, and wrote a short greeting card, listing all the female family members of the Tao Mansion, nothing more than Jushi Tao, Mrs. Tao, and Miss Tao. Write down "A few beads, the fluorescent light does not set off the bright moon, I hope you can play with it."
Shishu wept bitterly, and added that if the Tao Mansion refused to accept it, it must be returned to the Gu Mansion, and the shop was not allowed to take it privately.
Following the master and son out of the shop where most of the female customers are Yingshengyanyu, Lishu deliberately told Gu Ningxi: "When Yanchun Pavilion came to check out, the butler should cry. Eight hundred taels, my God!"
Gu Ningxi went straight with a clear goal, and said without turning her head: "There is no hurry, there is something else, follow me to the spice shop and buy some sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus. I can't go to Tao Mansion empty-handed."
"What if Jushi Tao is not here? Didn't you say they are going out of Beijing? Besides, even if she is, she may not see you, let alone accept gifts. Still buy it, the house doesn't seem to have much money to live on, my little one." I heard the housekeeper talk about it." Literacy poured cold water on the master.
Gu Ningxi didn't take it seriously: "I don't have to worry about drawing a few more paintings, the most important thing is to make my wife happy."
The words in the heart of the book were turned around, the master knew why he didn't mention Miss Namo as a concubine today, and nothing happened. Now it's good, the wife has ignored the master for a long time, and he is rushing again.
On the mouth, the literate man said: "Master, you are good at painting, but you can't make a living from it. I listen to the chatter of other adults' servants, and arrange that you are willing to degenerate, regardless of your status, Selling paintings is like a craftsman, doing business and doing business, which is very bad for the official reputation."
Gu Ningxi laughed it off. What's wrong with his reputation, because of shocking the world and leaving the book, he was rumored to be stupid, and it's not unheard of. He made a mistake first, and the business is to slowly restore his wife.
When he arrived at the gate of Tao Mansion, the greeting card he handed out was delivered to Tao Xinqiang by accident. Miss Tao San is not afraid of tigers when she is a newborn calf, and she has no intention of refusing to see her, so she rushes out with her skirt in hand, wanting to meet her ex-brother-in-law.
