She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband - Chapter 30
The eighth day of the first lunar month is said to be Guzi’s birthday. If the weather is fine on this day, it means that the year will be smooth and rainy. Otherwise, the crops may fail. ①
In Jichangbo Mansion, Cheng Shicheng got up early in the morning, walked to the atrium with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, with a look of sadness between his brows.
The steward of the uncle’s mansion watched him grow up, and he had the mentality of an elder. Seeing this, he leaned closer and joked: “Is the uncle thinking of pity farmers? But he is watching the weather?”
All Cheng Shicheng thinks about is Mrs. Gu, it’s really hard to tell others about his **** life.
A man wearing a black brocade suit that fits his figure, with a straight face, clear eyebrows, broad shoulders and straight waist, and long legs, looks decent and powerful, but the thought that is turning in his mind now is that it was a farewell yesterday, and what should we look for to see each other again? Beauty, has nothing to do with the weather.
He coughed lightly, took a look at his uncle’s steward, bypassed the teasing, and casually asked: “When did Jiaer return home last night? It’s not an exaggeration for this child to see an unmarried woman, but he is afraid of offending the future Yue’s family. bored.”
The steward honestly reported the reason for Cheng Jia’s return last night. He went to the Tao mansion of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, to plead guilty, and escorted the young master and his wife of the Tao family to the second room of the Gu mansion. After disturbing the sleep of foster father, he quietly went back to his room.
Cheng Shicheng frowned, Tao Cheng, he knew this person, a die-hard with no understanding of the world, who was neither party nor party in the court, but only liked to play around with research and design, he was the treasure of the Minister of Industry who couldn’t put it down and had a headache.
He didn’t have any dealings with Tao Cheng, just a nodding acquaintance. How did Cheng Jia provoke his family?
wait…tao…
Cheng Shicheng asked the know-it-all manager uncertainly: “Is Mrs. Gu’s father just Tao Cheng?”
The steward answered the question quickly, but he didn’t answer the question: “The uncle is referring to Mrs. Gu, the second room of the Gu family, the young master’s future mother-in-law? Or the Mrs. Gu who came here yesterday, Mrs. Gu Sicheng?”
“They take care of the family, and it’s troublesome to divide the house regardless of the family. It’s easy to confuse the title. Don’t be funny, answer me quickly.” Cheng Shicheng felt that the old lady of the Gu family was really not wise, or else they would just divide the houses in a proper manner. Sun Tuan was in one place, the second master, the third master, and the eldest young master and the second young master below in turn. The female relatives were naturally called by their husbands, and the beautiful woman Tao was the second young lady Gu.
Otherwise, the division will be neat and tidy, and everyone has their own opinions. Jia’er’s father-in-law has no official position, so his mother-in-law naturally cannot bear the title of wife. The Gu family is full of plans, but they are Gu Ningran’s Mrs. Gu Bianxiu and Gu Ningxi’s Mrs. Gu Sicheng.
In any case, it is much better than nondescript now.
Cheng Shicheng didn’t want to talk too much about other people’s family affairs, and when the steward replied with a smile, “Gu Sicheng’s wife is Tao Changchang’s daughter”, he quickly ordered Cheng Jia to be called to ask how his adopted son was involved with Tao Cheng.
He was going to visit the Tao Mansion to make friends with a beautiful father with the accusation of “not raising a godfather”. Thinking about it, it shouldn’t be too far-fetched.
**
Tao Mansion is a large courtyard, located in the middle of the mansion, where Tao Muxian and his wife Hong Shi live.
It was halfway up at sunrise and the sky was twilight, so Hong got up vigilantly, dressed and tidied up, thinking of saying hello to her elder sister earlier.
Father-in-law Tao Cheng, apart from going to work in the Ministry of Industry, is just studying in the study in the mansion, indulged in sleepless nights and even upside down day and night.
Tao Muxian always spends about 20 days a month studying in an outside academy, so he stays in the mansion for a longer period of time during the holidays. As long as he was around, the young man was always messing around. When he was proud at night, he felt sorry for his wife, and would always sleep with his arms around her until the sun was high before letting Mrs. Hong get up.
However, whenever Tao Xinhe returned home for a short stay, the Hong family was so respectful, and went to the elder sister’s courtyard at a good time sooner or later. .
Tao Xinhe returned home yesterday, Hong’s plan is no exception today.
“Sister, I’m always afraid that I won’t feel well, so don’t go, I met you at breakfast, and rest with me for a while.” “Tao Muxian put his head on his feet, lay on his side on the bed, looked at his wife and said so.
Mrs. Hong shook her head, looked at her husband in the mirror, kept moving her hands, and replied softly: “Breakfast is breakfast, and it is my intention to go to greet you now. By the way, I still want to ask. Eldest sister replied yesterday. The house is abrupt, is it… Did you quarrel with the eldest brother-in-law?”
“Well, my sister wants to reconcile.”
Hong Shi was so shocked that the wooden comb in his hand fell to the ground, and his hair was partly untied. He suddenly turned to look at her husband, and almost twisted her neck: “Heli? Why is eldest sister so impulsive?”
Tao Muxian originally answered the Hong family with a smile on his face, but when he heard the words, he sat up straight and turned cold: “What is impulsiveness? It is obvious that Gu Ningxi is deceiving people too much! You are the daughter-in-law of the Tao family, so naturally you have to stand firmly like us. Sister, don’t let her hear what you said, you don’t have to trouble her, do you know?”
At this time, Hong was extremely fortunate, the newlyweds had a strong affection, and the servants had to be summoned to enter the room, otherwise, in front of the servants, her husband reprimanded her like this, she would lose face.
After her chest heaved several times, Mrs. Hong came to her senses, clutching her heart and persuading: “Since my husband knows that my eldest sister has this idea, no matter what, persuading people to make peace and not to persuade them to divide is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Husband can’t study well.” Few, you should know these truths better than me. If the elder brother-in-law has done something wrong, we, as the mother’s family, should naturally support the elder sister, reason, and ask the elder brother-in-law to apologize and admit his mistakes. How did we reach the point of reconciliation? “
What I didn’t have the nerve to tell my husband was Hong’s recollection. The second eldest sister and his wife came back to live for a few days at the beginning of the new year. Gu Ningxi’s inadvertent dependence on the eldest sister and her effort to make her happy made her, the sister-in-law, blush and heartbeat. , envious.
How many days has it been? How could a loving couple be falling apart?
Hong originally thought that after a few years, her husband would treat her half or even 30% to 40% of what her elder brother-in-law treats her family members, and she would be a blessed woman. Now, in her eyes, there is no warning about the gods and relatives. The woman is about to throw away this marriage. The first feeling in Hong’s heart is regret.
There are other practical considerations.
She walked up to Tao Muxian gracefully, put her slender hands on the man’s back, and coaxed him softly: “Husband, Elder Sister has high hopes for you, and she let you enter this rare academy because she expects you to be elected as an official. Do you want to continue the glory of the Tao Mansion? Last year, you missed the Jinshi examination for some reason. You have to take the examination after five years in Yongsheng. Can you bypass the Gongju Division of the Ministry of Rites? In other words, can you bypass Gu Sicheng? ?”
Following the lady’s words, Tao Muxian thought of this joint, which he hadn’t thought about last night.
That’s right, what if Gu Ningxi took advantage of her position to make things difficult for herself in the Jinshi examination? The last time he participated in the inspection tour, he found out more than a dozen cheating candidates, and was dubbed the “Iron Faced Lord”. He was in the line of judging the papers again, and outsiders didn’t know what kind of judgment the examiners were marking the papers with cinnabar pens, including Gu Ningxi naturally.
After more than two years and a half, if she becomes one of the candidates, will Gu Ningxi be promoted even more? Even if he stands still, he is still in charge of his own election destiny.
Han Chuang has studied hard for ten years, nothing more than looking forward to serving the court and enshrining his wife and son. If he offended Gu Ningxi because he supported his sister’s reconciliation, and was tripped, it would affect the Jinshi examination and even lose his name. Is Tao Muxian willing?
Hong saw that her husband was frowning, his jaw was tightened, and he didn’t say a word. The muscles on the shoulders and backs of the man under his command were stretched, he should be thinking.
That’s right. Hong felt that her husband could clearly understand the pros and cons, so she went to persuade her eldest aunt. Or if the husband finds it difficult to speak, she, as a woman, volunteers to chat with the eldest aunt to untie her knot, which is not a bad idea.
Tao Muxian thought it through, and he felt that the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and he smiled and took Hong’s hand on his shoulders to play in his own, and said: “Young lady should think carefully.”
Listening to Hong’s shy response: “The concubine is also for the good of the husband, and for the good of the elder sister.”
Tao Muxian nodded, with a look of joy when he met a bosom friend, and he talked endlessly: “Let me just say, since my sister has made up her mind to make peace, why is she still frowning? It must not be because she misses Gu Ningxi. I was worried that it would hurt me, but I didn’t know how to open my mouth to comfort me. The lady said something about me, the person in my dream, so I will tell my sister clearly, that I am not afraid of Gu Ningxi, and let my sister be at ease and bold, and do it according to her own will. The reconciliation and separation affairs are also a little bit of my brother’s kindness.”
The Hong family was completely overwhelmed, and it never occurred to her that what her husband said was directly opposite to what she hinted at.
“Husband!” She couldn’t help stomping her feet, her tone coquettish.
Tao Muxian didn’t take it seriously, he had already stood up and poised himself without turning his head, and said, “It’s a big deal, I won’t take the Jinshi exam, so what. Now Gu Ningxi can’t handle me.”
As soon as the words were finished, he had simply packed up his appearance, and the common people in the family could always say: “Lady, let’s go, I will go find my sister.” Tao Muxian excitedly pushed Hong’s shoulders and went out together.
Hong Shi only felt that he was suffering and couldn’t explain it, so he walked passively, simply waiting for the eldest sister to persuade her husband to calm down, how can the future be a joke!

Tao Xinhe put on her clothes and got up, feeling that when she woke up, her stomach and intestines were still not comfortable, and she didn’t even have the slightest idea of having breakfast. She thought for a while, then squeezed her fingers to calculate, and ordered Qingfang to bring the little maid to prepare some **** soup with red dates and honey.
I made up my mind yesterday, but then my mind is empty. Tao Xinhe told herself that it’s time to gather her spirits today and carefully plan what cutting matters to discuss with Gu Ningxi.
Speaking of which, since the marriage, Gu Mansion has been in charge by herself. I’m afraid that Gu Ningxi is always in a state of not knowing what to ask. He should be thankful that he is not a naughty and aggressive woman, otherwise it would not be difficult to fool him and divide most of his ancestral property if he remarried.
Tao Xinhe let out a long breath, still feeling a thousand threads. Moreover, Gu Ningxi was soaking in the small courtyard of Mo’s family, and she was afraid that she would be immersed in the joy of accepting a newcomer. It is not yet known when she will take her proposal of reconciliation seriously, and she will come to Tao’s mansion to discuss.
Could it be that she wants to send someone to Mo’s house to invite him to stay in the house regardless of face?
Would Mo Qiqi think she was robbing someone? How embarrassing to look like that!
Hearing the warm calling of “sister” from far and near, Tao Xinhe finally burst into a smile, knowing that it was her younger brother who arrived before the sound, so she hurried to the door, opened the door, and greeted the visitor Greeting: “Brother, brother and sister, good morning.”
The author has something to say:
Using modern words to describe Hong’s mood, it is roughly:
Why did my fan’s CP collapse without warning? Don’t believe in love anymore, fall!
