She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband - Chapter 32

This morning, Tao Muxian was enlightened by his sister.

Tao Xinhe listened to the concerns that the couple were scrambling to express, and understood that the brother-in-law’s worries were completely incomprehensible to the silly younger brother, but she was even more moved by the relative’s willingness to protect the future.

She explained slowly: “Gu Ningxi is face-blind, Mu Xian has been taught more than once, right? If it is the next Jinshi exam, it will really be his patrolling exam. The whole courtyard is full of candidates. To him, they are all flat and blurred tile faces. There is no difference. He can’t recognize you, let alone make it difficult. As long as you answer the test properly, there will be no problem.”

For some reason, the scene where she thought about the characteristics of Gu Ningxi’s colleague who was locked up in the Gongyuan for a month, and then wrote it down stroke by stroke flashed before her eyes. detail.

Tao Xinhe frowned slightly, and whispered to herself again, quickly forget it, erase it all! The old days cannot be chased, and the future can only be expected!

She bowed her head to cover up, took a sip of the **** soup on hand, and slowly exhaled the breath that was so spicy, she thought casually that she should add more powdered sugar like Jichangbo Mansion next time, and finally calmed down her mood.

After glancing at his beaming younger brother and Hong Shi who bowed his head in thought, Tao Xinhe continued to say slowly: “As for marking the papers, he is not the only one who has the final say, and he must be worthy of that cinnabar pen. I think I understand Gu Ningxi well. To be fair , He has always been serious about learning, and he appreciates the articles of underachievers, and he will not use public affairs for personal gain.”

Hong Shi bit her lips and looked at the eldest sister, questioning softly: “What if?”

“If he really dares to take the opportunity to depose Muxian and take personal revenge…” Tao Xinhe followed the words of his younger siblings and murmured, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

It was because Gu Ningxi did not abide by personal morality, broke the couple’s agreement, and proposed to take a concubine, so she insisted on reconciling, and did not raise any criticisms about other aspects of this person’s character.

Even if they are no longer nostalgic, no one wants the person who once put all their heart and soul into their friendship to be a scum, right?

If Gu Ningxi even violated the duties of an official, Tao Xinhe would hate herself even more for being blind. A few years later, if it really affects Tao Muxian, so what?

After a moment of silence, Tao Xinhe solemnly put forward a countermeasure: “Heh. Dad is a third-rank official, and Mu Xian was born in an official. We are by no means weak people to be bullied.”

“I am familiar with Mrs. Zhang Shangshu and Mrs. Sizheng, Gong Jusi. Their husbands are both Gu Ningxi’s superiors. They follow the wife’s line to uphold justice, so I won’t be afraid of him as a Sicheng. At worst, I can sue the imperial court and ask the Holy One to uphold justice. Lu Cai The Grand Ceremony is a major national event, and Gu Ningxi can’t cover the sky with one hand.”

Tao Muxian admired her elder sister’s thoughtful consideration of matters more and more, and her whole body was happy to listen, and she repeatedly responded to Tao Xinhe’s advice to “Muxian study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind”.

The eldest daughter had just returned home, Tao Cheng reluctantly showed up, and had breakfast with the three of them.

“Han Niang, you are still skinny, eat more chopsticks.” Tao Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the eldest daughter for a while, wanting to express his concern, but suddenly said something surprising.

Tao Xinhe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, she waved her hand to refuse the maid who listened to the order and wanted to add porridge and vegetables for her, and responded: “Father~~ you just said three or four days ago that I have been three points plump these days, and told me not to be a **** !”

Tao Cheng twirled his beard, tried hard to remember, then laughed and passed.

The Hong family thought they had discovered the truth. The father-in-law judged the eldest sister’s fat and thinness based on her marital status.

After Tao Cheng had eaten first, he was about to leave the table when he saw a servant sending a greeting card.

After reading it, he looked puzzled and said to everyone: “Ji Changbo posted a post and is about to go to the government to make amends. What’s going on?”

Tao Muxian didn’t pay attention to the chopsticks that his sister suddenly stopped nearby, and he talked to himself: “Isn’t Ji Changbo Cheng Jia’s adoptive father? Father, Cheng Jia, he came to the door last night to apologize, taught Qiang Niang to punch and kick, and ended up being kidnapped by her.” The one with the feet.”

Tao Cheng slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized: “Father and son, you are so polite! I didn’t expect Uncle Ji Chang to be so modest, and I am far behind. Tao Muxian, if you cause trouble outside, you will bear it yourself, do you understand?”

Tao Xinhe saw his younger brother cast a grievous glance at his father, then lowered his head, trying to smooth things over. But I thought in my heart, what a coincidence, I saw Uncle Ji Chang for two consecutive days on the sixth and seventh day of the lunar new year.

Do you want to show up and say hello?

She would definitely not be able to be Gu Runing’s wife’s spokesperson anymore, “the former sister-in-law after divorce”, her identity is wrong. However, Tao Xinhe’s original plan was to resign from Gu Ningxi, the trustee, after she broke up with Gu Ningxi, and then informed Ji Changbo.

If I met Ji Changbo today, and he mentioned the marriage of his youngest son, it would be wrong for him to answer, and it would be bad not to answer. So, just disappear.

Tao Xinhe didn’t reveal to her family that she knew Uncle Ji Chang, but quietly told Tao Muxian: “You should accompany father to entertain distinguished guests. My concubine is unknown now, so don’t mention that I am at home.”

Tao Muxian nodded blankly, watched her sister gracefully put down her chopsticks, turned and returned to the courtyard, and for a moment did not understand what she was referring to. The visitor last night, my sister didn’t show up, and didn’t give special instructions.

Under the warm sunshine, Cheng Shicheng came to visit with warmth.

He was quite good at exchanging pleasantries, and with just a few words, he scratched people’s itches, causing Tao Cheng, who had the notoriety of “elm bump”, to chase after him and ask: “Is it true that the tools recorded in “Qi Wen Lu” are stored in the uncle’s house? “

“Brother Tao, why don’t you come to our mansion some other day and see for yourself.” Cheng Shicheng remained calm and replaced the title of “Tao Yuanwailang” to appear more affectionate.

Tao Muxian looked enviously at the strong man in front of him, he was so masculine, mighty, and majestic, he really hoped that he could also develop such a body.

Feeling that the groundwork was almost done, Cheng Shicheng mentioned the female relatives: “The child, Cheng Jia, was reckless. He hurt Brother Tao’s young daughter. It really shouldn’t be done. I have already punished him. The compensation list has just been sent. I hope Brother Tao will forgive me. I heard that Brother Tao is very serious. Blessed to have sons and daughters, the eldest daughter is Mrs. Gu Sicheng, the celebrity of the virtuous housewife is well known, and everywhere he goes, he is praised, isn’t it?”

The strings in Tao Muxian’s heart tensed, and Ji Changbo seemed to be casually exchanging greetings, but he smelled the intention of inquiring.

Judging married women, this person is not very authentic!

It’s a pity that he hasn’t said anything yet, and Tao Cheng, who didn’t realize it, smiled and said: “Uncle is so solemn, the official is flattered. When it comes to my mother, she is definitely a good hand at home and abroad. Coincidentally, she is in the mansion. , if you know that Uncle is an outsider and praises her so much, you will surely be happy.”

father! Sister is not your newly made parts mechanism, it is not used to show off like this!

You also know that Uncle is an outsider, why did you spit out your sister’s boudoir name in just one sentence?

Tao Muxian frantically shook his head at his father’s way of treating guests in his heart, but he didn’t dare to show it on his face. He couldn’t afford to offend either of these two.

Hearing that the beautiful woman was in the mansion by accident, the corners of Cheng Shicheng’s mouth suddenly parted, and he laughed heartily, thinking that it was God’s matchmaking, deliberately matching.

“Meeting each other is worse than meeting by chance. I have the honor to meet Brother Tao’s daughter? I guess, sisters love each other deeply. She should be very worried about her younger sister’s injury. I want to apologize to Mrs. Gu again.” Ji Changbo With a bright tongue, I firmly believe that I will get my wish.

Sure enough, Tao Cheng followed the train of thought he had drawn and started talking to himself: “Well, He Niang was still talking about Qiang Niang this morning, afraid that she might not be used to living in someone else’s house. Maybe she would like to hear what Uncle has to say. Besides, he is bored with himself. What’s the fun in the yard, seeing more people is good for your mood.”

Without waiting for Tao Muxian to divert his words, Tao Cheng ordered his servants to ask He Niang if she wanted to see a guest.

Tao Xinhe is a very considerate person, after listening to the message, she thought about the gentleness of her uncle who held an umbrella and gave him a blanket yesterday, thinking about it, it’s just that the uncle didn’t know that he was in the mansion, since he invited him, there was absolutely no reason for him to refuse to see him.

Changing to homely clothes, Tao Xinhe put on an old-fashioned pomegranate red dress, and walked out of the reception flower hall step by step.

Putting on a proper smile, she crossed the threshold and saluted Ji Changbo.

After squatting down and standing up straight, Tao Xinhe was startled when he met Cheng Shicheng’s undisguised bright eyes and bright smile, and a thought came to his mind, the uncle is really warm, seeing people he met for the first time is like meeting a close friend.

Infected, Tao Xinhe’s lips curved even more, and her smile was a little more sincere.

Looking at his words, Cheng Shicheng didn’t mention Cheng Jia and Gu Runing’s marriage at all, letting Tao Xinhe put down his worries.

Discerning the occasion, Cheng Shicheng and Tao Xinhe seemed to meet each other for the first time, they would just say a few polite words, abide by the distinction between men and women, and spend most of their time talking with Tao’s father and son, Tao Muxian secretly mocked himself for being too nervous.

With the beautiful woman by his side, Cheng Shicheng felt that he could sit here forever, but the more he chatted, the more dry it became. After all, there was no relationship before, and the topics were limited.

He found out that “Han Niang” would stay in Tao Mansion for a while, although everyone kept secret the reason, but the married woman suddenly went back to her natal house alone, it was nothing more than a quarrel with her husband.

In this way, there is a gap to take advantage of, and if he needs to see a deal right now, he will accept it and wait for the future.

With a light cough, Cheng Shicheng was about to leave when he saw someone from Tao’s mansion come in with a look of embarrassment on his face, and whispered something to Tao Muxian.

The ear skills trained in the army allowed him to catch the word “Si Cheng”.

While Tao Muxian was listening to the report, he secretly glanced at his eldest sister. Although the movements were not large, they were all caught by Cheng Shicheng’s eyes.

Could it be that Gu Ningxi came to chase his wife?

He weighed Tao Xinhe who was still listening to the men’s discussions, Tao Cheng who talked about his own creations, and Tao Muxian who hurriedly found an excuse to go to the toilet to leave, Cheng Shicheng felt that the best was yet to come.

After Tao Muxian left, Cheng Shicheng actually relaxed a lot. Whenever he looked at Tao Xinhe or talked to her, the child would stare at him closely, the sister nurse’s intentions were clear at a glance, guarding against him was like guarding against wolves. Presumably this child has never heard the rumors that he is inhumane, he is really innocent.

In short, Cheng Shicheng dismissed his intentions and waited to see what would happen to the couple Gu Ningxi and Tao Xinhe today.

Tao Xinhe didn’t quite understand, as soon as his younger brother Chu Gong left, Cheng Shicheng’s eyes were fixed on him, and he asked him to accompany him to visit the Tao Mansion, what was his intention.

His father agreed to Ji Changbo without much thought, but Tao Xinhe knew very well that it was very inappropriate for lonely men and widows to wander around the mansion.

Guadatian Li Xia’s suspicion is not in the father’s heart, but in the eyes and mouths of the ubiquitous servants?

Even if this man is an alternative young version of Mrs. Zhang Shangshu in her eyes, that won’t work.

After waiting for Tao Muxian to disappear for a while, Tao Xinhe had a headache thinking how to politely decline, Cheng Shicheng changed the subject by himself: “Forget it, I’ll bother you next time, it’s not too late to visit your mansion. Fortunately Brother Tao and his children have not been surprised, and I am satisfied today. Now that I am on the third pole today, It’s time for me to leave too. Please Madam Gu, take me out of the house and board the car, I wonder if I would be honored?”

Although civil servants are not compared with military generals, Ji Changbo’s rank is still higher than that of his father. The honored guest has no pretensions, and degrades to the lowest level. From visiting the host’s house to retreating to asking someone to see him off, it will appear that the host is rude if he refuses.

Tao Xinhe thought about all the relatives, and seemed to be the right candidate, glanced at her father, saw that he was still in need, and followed suit, nodding slightly in response.

The author has something to say:

Let’s talk about the psychological knowledge that Ji Changbo and Cheng Shicheng unconsciously used at the end of this chapter.

As for the characters, they are fictionalized by the little author. Cheng Shicheng took every step of the way, abducted He Niang and agreed to send him out of the house, which is in line with psychological logic.

The little author comes here to pretend to popularize science with the readers of Baby Angel. Welcome to leave comments and discuss.

Cough, knock on the blackboard – “house demolition effect”. It is easier to be accepted by others by making unreasonable “big requests” first, and then making small requests than directly making small requests. (Moved from 360 Encyclopedia)

Cheng Shicheng is just one of them. Corresponding to the article, the “unreasonable big request” is to ask He Niang to take him to visit the Tao Mansion, and the small request is to send him to the carriage outside the mansion.

Baby Angel readers, put yourself in the shoes of He Niang, if Cheng Shicheng said directly to He Niang: “Send me away”, what would happen to He Niang?

Also, in the next chapter, guess what will happen when He Niang and Gu Ningxi meet at the gate of the mansion?
