She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband - Chapter 38

At noon on the ninth day of the first lunar month, when the sun was just right, Tao Xinhe was invited to come to his younger brother’s courtyard, and sat opposite his sister-in-law Hong Shi, looking at the gift list with great interest, and ordering the little things from Jichangbo’s mansion.

They are not precious things, but the rare thing lies in their care and delicacy.

While counting, Mrs. Hong asked the eldest aunt with doubts: “Our Tao Mansion has never had any contact with Jichangbo Mansion before, right? Or is it that I have been married for a short time and I haven’t seen it?”

There were all kinds of things piled up on the table, and Tao Xinhe casually picked up the Nine Links made of fine willow wood and looked at them. Jiulianhuan is a gadget commonly used by female relatives to pass the time in the boudoir. This one in her hand is made of novel materials and warm to the touch. Each ring is painted with different colors. It is colorful and quite ingenious. It is Ji Changbo who wrote ” In the name of “Apologizing for Children”, the second batch of gifts was sent this morning.

Tao Xinhe told Hong with certainty that if civil servants and military generals had no special connections, they would have been negligent. She remembered correctly that Jichangbo Mansion was not on the list of Tao Mansion’s New Year’s Day or daily contacts. This time, it was entirely because Cheng Jia accidentally injured Qiangniang that they got in touch.

However, Ji Changbo Cheng Shicheng came in person yesterday, bringing gifts to make amends, and the gifts are quite satisfactory, and today they are sent again, and they are obviously for the play of the female relatives.

The steward of the uncle’s mansion explained: “Yesterday my uncle apologized to Tao Yuanwailang, and today he apologized to Miss Tao San. Oh, Mrs. Gu said that it should be sent directly to the second room of Gu’s mansion? It’s okay, our uncle heard about it. Miss Tao San will return to the mansion in a few days. In order to avoid moving around, I would like to ask your mansion to accept it. You are still in your mansion… um… as well as Mrs. Tao and the female relatives can enjoy it, including us Uncle, please be considerate.”

After the steward finished explaining the matter, he was afraid that Tao Xinhe would refuse, so Fei also seemed to leave.

Tao Xinhe had some headaches, and Ji Changbo must have been too warm and considerate. For such an insignificant matter, he came to the door and gave gifts again and again, if she hadn’t heard that his body was damaged, she would almost think that the other party had other plans.

Hong Shi was panicked when he heard the words, his expression changed, he didn’t know if he was thinking the same as himself, so he asked softly, “Have Uncle seen Qiang Niang?”

Tao Xinhe threw Jiu Lianhuan into the original pile of small gifts, shook her head, and replied: “I asked Qiang Niang specifically yesterday, and I have never met Uncle Ji Chang. Besides, Uncle Ji is different from ordinary men, so don’t go too far concern.”

It was about other people’s privacy, Tao Xinhe hesitated for a moment, but did not explain what the difference was.

However, when Hong looked at the eyes of the eldest sister, she became strange and hesitated to speak.

Tao Xinhe didn’t care about it, picked up another gift again, it was a chubby little clay figurine, molded into a boy with long hair, round face, big eyes and red body, very cute.

Hong finally swallowed it down, and asked the eldest aunt what she said about the uncle’s familiar tone, and heard that the uncle called the woman by her boudoir name outside the gate of the mansion yesterday.

Looking at the clay figurine in Tao Xinhe’s hands, Hong naturally thought that he and his eldest aunt were married women and had no children.

If it was normal, maybe she would whisper to Tao Xinhe about the secret recipe for childbirth that she just got from her natal family. It is not appropriate now.

After Tao Xinhe pointed it out one by one, seeing that Ji Changbo didn’t specify who to give these things to, he said in a deliberative tone: “Since the other party said it was for Qiang Niang to make amends, in my opinion, except for this clay figurine, I will keep it for you. Decorations or toys at hand, and other items, all should be sent to Qiangniang’s courtyard, brothers and sisters, what do you think?”

It must be that the eldest sister felt her eyes lingering on the fat baby. Hong deeply admired Tao Xinhe’s observation, and after appreciating it, he asked: “Eldest sister, don’t you want to pick a few?”

Tao Xinhe shook her head with a smile. She has always had little desire for material things, and she has no obsession with these impractical things, whether she has them or not.

Now that the distribution was done, she got up slowly and prepared to go back to her courtyard.

At this time, Hong suddenly said that it was abdominal pain, covered his stomach, and said “Oh”.

Tao Xinhe hurriedly supported the younger siblings, put them on the bed, and assigned servants to invite the doctor and find the younger brother who was visiting friends.

**

An hour later.

“I’m going to be a father? I’m going to be a father!” Tao Muxian danced in the open space of the courtyard, unable to stop for a long time.

Tao Xinhe smoothed her sleeves, walked out of the room, gestured to Tao Muxian for silence, and said with a smile: “My brother and sister have just slept soundly, so don’t disturb her.”

Tao Muxian nodded vigorously and raised his hand to cover his mouth, but joy was shining brightly from his eyes.

Yeah, boy, what couple wouldn’t look forward to it?

She and Gu Ningxi, since the three-year filial piety period for mother-in-law and mother-in-law in August last year, have also looked forward to and dreamed about having children.

Fortunately not, otherwise it would be embarrassing at this time.

Tao Xinhe looked down at the emerald jade bracelet on her wrist, fiddled with it lightly, and warned herself not to think about it. There was a circle of inconspicuous scratches on her wrist, which were left by Hong Shi just now.

Hong Shi was pregnant for the first time, and she didn’t know it. She had **** with her younger brother a few days ago, and today she had a stomachache. The doctor said that the fetal phase was unstable, and Hong Shi’s face turned pale from fright. My aunt’s hand was so hard that she didn’t even realize it.

Hearing that the doctor said that he needs to stay in bed for half a month and take the anti-fetal medicine every day. If there is no accident during this period, the fetus should be able to be preserved. Hong responded repeatedly and immediately lay down.

However, she was still terrified, so she begged Tao Xinhe to accompany her.

Tao Xinhe murmured softly to comfort Hong Shi at first, but later she found herself saying something, Hong Shi said “what if?” “What if it can’t be saved?”

Tao Xinhe changed the way, sat on the head of Hong’s bed, persuaded her to sleep for a while, and hummed an unknown tune.

Hong clung tightly to the elder sister’s sleeve, and suddenly felt at ease in her heart. Somehow, she became dependent, and later realized her husband’s feelings. The elder sister is a wonderful and reassuring force.

The voice became smaller and smaller, and Tao Xinhe gradually stopped humming when she saw that Hong Shi had closed her eyes and fell asleep.

But the sleeves still couldn’t be pulled out, she moved her arm slightly, Hong Shi also turned her head and waved her hands, Tao Xinhe had to sit on the bedside of her siblings for a long time, and only after confirming that Hong Shi was breathing smoothly and sleeping soundly, did she pull out the sleeves little by little. , At the same time, he quickly stuffed a veil into Hong’s palm.

After leaving the room, Tao Xinhe was infected by his younger brother’s excitement, and said softly: “Mu Xian, congratulations. Be considerate of your younger siblings, and you are feeling uneasy.”

Tao Muxian patted his chest and agreed, thinking of the lady in the room, he quickly lowered his volume. But he suddenly thought of something, after waiting for a while, seeing Tao Xinhe’s figure approaching the gate of the courtyard, he finally resisted the embarrassment and chased after him, closed his eyes and reminded Tao Xinhe: “Sister, if you are pregnant, do you still want to divorce?”

Tao Xinhe was startled when she heard the words.

After a moment of silence, she managed to regain her senses, patted her brother on the upper arm, and said, “Thank you, Mu Xian. He and Li Shu have been sent out, why do you still have any doubts? Besides, my sister knows herself well, there is nothing you are worried about, so don’t think about it .”

She appeased her younger brother, and walked slowly on the cobbled path, following the “if pregnant” thinking, unconsciously deviated, stepped into the dirt on the side of the road, and Qingfang behind her quickly helped her.

“Qingfang, do you still remember when was the last time I was young?” Tao Xinhe softly asked the close servant girl as if she was dreaming. She didn’t pay much attention to her own body, so naturally the maids cared about it and prepared it for her in advance.

Sure enough, Qingfang said the date without any hesitation. Tao Xinhe calculated silently, it should be around fourteenth or fifteenth this month, right? Just in time for the Lantern Festival.

What would she do if Kuishui didn’t come by then?

What would she do if she was really pregnant?

**

Tao Xinhe returned to her courtyard for a short rest for three quarters of an hour, and then welcomed Second Aunt Gu. Second Aunt Gu ignored her question, “Does Gu Sicheng agree to reconcile?” Instead, she said, “He Niang, you are not too careful about your own body! If you are pregnant, would you be fooling around if you remarried? “

Hearing the topic of “pregnancy” unexpectedly, Tao Xinhe was not as stunned as last time. After a breath of surprise, she asked with a smile, “Where is this? Is it possible that I don’t know if I am pregnant?”

“No?” Second Aunt Gu just sat down, gulped down half a cup of tea, then took Tao Xinhe’s hand, and talked about what she saw and heard at Gu Ningxi’s place this morning.

For Gu Ningxi’s description of the tragic situation and the regret of knowing his mistakes, Tao Xinhe automatically turned his ears off, and confirmed with a gentle smile: “So he agreed? He also wrote a new letter of reconciliation?”

Second Aunt Gu took out something that looked like a letter, shook it in front of Tao Xinhe’s eyes, and then took it back, muttering: “He Niang, it’s not that Second Aunt is embarrassing you. Brother Xi and I discussed it, and after thinking about it, I would like to mention something Presumptuous suggestion. That is, let’s invite a doctor to check your pulse. If you are not pregnant, I will offer you and Li Shu with both hands.”

“Second Aunt, I am divorced with Gu Ningxi, is there any relationship with whether I have a baby or not?” Tao Xinhe understands the implication of Gu Ningxi’s words. , it’s not about the heirs, so I don’t want to agree to the doctor’s advice.”

Second Aunt Gu talked about the difference between having children and not having children, and even brought up her deceased sister-in-law.

Tao Xinhe sighed in her heart, she had already figured this out, in case, if she was really pregnant, it would not delay her reconciliation with Gu Ningxi, one yard for one yard.

As for the fetus that may be in the womb, it is connected with her blood and is a treasure bestowed by God. She should take good care of the fetus and nurture it with all her heart after giving birth. After the child grows up and is sensible, if he asks about it, he will tell the child about her father in a straightforward manner without criticizing or denying it. Maybe at that time, Gu Ningxi would have already had children.

Of course, Tao Xinhe knew that she was thinking in the long run, maybe she wasn’t pregnant at all?

Enduring Second Aunt Gu’s preaching, Tao Xinhe called Qingfang out on the pretext of changing clothes, and told her to run to see the doctor who stopped Hong’s visit to see her father, and asked the Ximai to be felt in the shortest few days after pregnancy. Make your own judgement, whether you want to accept the second aunt, so that you can get and leave the book smoothly.

Qingfang came back in a while, whispered something to her, Tao Xinhe smiled, and said to Aunt Gu: “Since Aunt Gu is kind, I’ll persuade you once to satisfy your concerns. It just so happens that there is a doctor in our house.” Now, let him feel my pulse in front of you, how about it?”

“It’s so kind! Brother Xi has been thinking about your body, afraid that you suddenly vomited the day before yesterday and your weakness did not recover. After listening to the doctor’s explanation, I can go back and tell Brother Xi.”

After Tao Xinhe listened, she felt that she didn’t feel Gu Ningxi’s concern, and even felt that this person was false, so she smiled and didn’t answer.
