She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband

"Gu Sicheng, with your patronage, the small restaurant is full of splendor. What would you like to drink tonight?" The shopkeeper of Xiangyang Restaurant has always been good at recognizing people. For Gu Ningxi, the first time I met Gu Ningxi was when the Ministry of Rites gathered a few years ago, and the next day he came to Gu's mansion We saw each other when we returned the item, and we never met again.

Looking at the man in scarlet clothes from a distance tonight, seeing that the man in scarlet clothes lost weight and his shoulders slumped, the shopkeeper still recognized that the handsome and handsome gentleman was Gu Ningxi, and greeted him casually. Unexpectedly, the official who got drunk last time, Yiyan entered the restaurant, and he hurriedly greeted her.

Gu Ningxi, the leader of the shopkeeper, walked through the bright lobby where the orchids persuaded her to drink and the guests laughed, all the way to the quiet and quiet room at the back: "You don't often drink bars? There are some sweet drinks in the shop, and the female relatives also like it. Would you like to try it?"

Gu Ningxi didn't understand what she was thinking, and listened to someone guide her to the restaurant in a daze. Once she sat down, she felt inexplicably relaxed, and nodded without any other choice: "Shopkeeper, just watch it."

After a while, a clear fine wine with a very light taste was served, and Gu Ningxi poured herself to drink, first slowly and then quickly, after drinking three small cups, her cheeks flushed like jade porcelain, and her body warmed a little.

He suddenly wanted to laugh, and sure enough, he laughed out loud. The shopkeeper was standing by the table and hospitablely greeted him with drinks and side dishes. He was startled when he heard the sound, and raised his face and asked, "Gu Sicheng, what's wrong with you?"

"Shopkeeper, you have seen my wife, right? Tell me, is my wife the best woman in the world?" Gu Ningxi laughed, before her breathing calmed down. Looking at each other, his eyes sparkled.

The shopkeeper doesn't know, but in Gu Ningxi's eyes, she is just a chubby face with flat tiles, and the flattering smile on her face is useless, and the folds squeezed out of the fat around the eyes are even a few lines of floating lines, which cannot be combined into meaningful subtleties. expression.

The shopkeeper just cheerfully replied to the guest: "Of course. I was honored to be received by Mrs. Gu, and I was able to see her grace. That's really, her complexion is concealed, graceful and generous. Alas, there are too few such elegant words in my stomach. In short, I just envy Si Cheng and his wife, the relatives of the gods!"

While listening, Gu Ningxi filled his cup to drink. He put the empty glass cup on the table but failed to stabilize it. As soon as he let go of the cup, it fell to the ground. Li Shu hurriedly picked it up, and the shopkeeper's voice was interrupted.

He will continue to hear everything about his wife. Gu Ningxi supported the table with both hands, thinking that he was still standing still, but in fact his head and neck were shaking slightly, he said: "Shopkeeper, tonight, I will treat you to a drink, please, and then I will describe in detail the scene of seeing my wife that day." Say?"

The shopkeeper responded again and again: "Gu Sicheng came to take care of the business in the small shop, and the young one will definitely accompany you. When I came to visit your house, it was a year ago, on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month. I should remember correctly? The young one will leave you behind. I packed up my belongings and returned them at the door. As soon as the letter was delivered here, Mrs. Gu greeted the younger one to go to the flower hall to meet each other. Oh, the younger one was nervous, for fear of offending the nobleman. Unexpectedly, when the madam saw the younger Yes, just smile, gentle and amiable..."

Gu Ningxi was brought back to that day. After the shopkeeper left, he confessed to his wife the fact that he could see Mo Qiqi's face clearly. The couple gradually broke the ice. He thought that the good days of Qin Se and Ming would be back soon. ...What, it's up to now?

As he listened, he felt drunk, and Gu Ningxi felt the voices of others passing by his ears, but he couldn't understand the meaning. He supported himself and said, "I won't go back home, I'll just sleep here." The next moment, he He fell down on the table with a bang, his face hit the hard table, and his cheekbones seemed to be a little redder.

The next day, Gu Ningxi woke up directly in the guest room of the restaurant, facing the dazzling sunlight, and took a long breath.

It was too late, he wore yesterday's official robe and went to the Ministry of Rites, and his colleagues were talking in whispers.

During the office break, Gu Ningxi thought of the shopkeeper's vivid description last night, as if it brought him back to the days when the couple hadn't reconciled, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Although it is annoying to have a headache after drinking, it is good to be able to chat with others about the lady.

So, Gu Ningxi went straight to the Xiangyang Restaurant after being on duty again, invited the shopkeeper to drink, and listened to him repeat what he said last night.

The same is true for two consecutive nights on the eighteenth and nineteenth day of the first lunar month.

**

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Tao Xinhe was still distraught, and when he thought of Uncle Ji Chang, he felt dizzy, so Cheng Jia came to visit.

She hastily arranged for her servants, and she was not allowed to tell the third girl that she knew about it, and then she came forward to ask Cheng Jia what happened.

After saluting, Cheng Jia said, "Lady Tao, did the house not entertain you well yesterday? Father asked me to apologize to you."

Tao Xinhe rubbed the center of her eyebrows out of composure, how could she speak ill of his father to his son?

Ji Changbo's devious trick is really ingenious, even though she is full of resentment towards Cheng Shicheng, she can only reluctantly deal with it now: "It's nothing serious, don't worry about it. I'm ashamed to bother you to come here just because of this idea."

Cheng Jia shyly smiled and covered the subject, expressing her original intention. It was Tao Muxian, whom he had just met, who wrote to him, asking him to pay attention to the strong man who guards the house for Tao Mansion. He told his father yesterday that Ji Changbo had dispersed his private affairs and allocated four people to him as favors.

Cheng Jia brought the four of them to show Tao Xinhe for inspection.

Tao Xinhe didn't understand why her younger brother was entrusted with this entrustment for a while, and searched hard in her memory, only to remember that it should be the night of reconciliation, Gu Ningxi said some nonsensical words to herself and Tao Muxian respectively, pay attention to entering and exiting, etc. .

The silly brother actually took it seriously.

Tao Xinhe politely declined, thanked Cheng Chengjia, and asked him to bring him back.

Cheng Jia was so busy that he had to work for his foster father, whom he respected and respected, but he had to go back to the manor to retire, which was quite embarrassing. Moreover, the younger brother of the Tao family asked, but the elder sister refused, as if teasing him, with a bit of anger, she said half-jokingly: "It must be because I don't have enough weight, I have to send it from my father."

Tao Xinhe exclaimed "No!" She didn't want to have anything to do with Ji Changbo.

Looking at Cheng Jia's expression, she understood the other party's displeasure, and then came up with a compromise: "Cheng Jia, I have always regarded Ning Niang as a younger sister, let me be presumptuous, and treat you as my son-in-law. I was the one who didn't think about it just now. Well, how about it, you have worked so hard to find someone, and everyone in the Tao Mansion appreciates it. Although there is no need, we will stay for half a month to entertain. Fang's men and horses brought it back, do you think it's okay?"

Cheng Jia did not explain that these four people were his father's subordinates. Tao Xinhe didn't want to keep someone at first, so she didn't ask about the origin, only after she had said the words out of her mouth did she realize that she might have something to do with Ji Changbo, right?

She asked in vain: "I don't know where the four heroes you brought are from?"

Cheng Jia smiled brightly and said, "When Niang Ning talks about you, she always thinks that my sister-in-law is better than my sister-in-law, and I also respect lay people. It is our luck to be able to help you a little. These four people have clean backgrounds and simple backgrounds, so laymen can use them with confidence." They come in and out with you or Qiangniang, they are always more peaceful, and it’s no problem to frighten Xiaoxiao. I have fulfilled Muxian’s entrustment. When he comes back at the end of the month, I will drink with him.”

Having said this, Tao Xinhe parted the corners of her lips in response, cheered up and sent Cheng Jia out of the house.

She turned around and politely asked the four strong and strong men to help themselves in the outer courtyard. The Tao House took care of food and shelter, so they didn't need to do anything.

The leading man thought that Tao Xinhe didn't trust their abilities, so he was sweating profusely. They punched and kicked each other to the flesh, and showed their role to the new master who had been instructed by his uncle to take good care of him.

Tao Xinhe couldn't stop laughing, so she had no choice but to agree that when the three female relatives in the mansion go out, please ask the heroes to follow the car. On weekdays in the outer courtyard, the Tao family members are taught some martial arts, such an arrangement, just now the host and guest are satisfied.

**

I didn't pay attention on the night of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, but afterward, the shopkeeper learned the big news about Gu Ningxi's reconciliation with his wife from other guests in the etiquette department. weird.

On the night of the nineteenth night, the shopkeeper felt a little familiar with Gu Ningxi, and poured sweet wine for him, and couldn't help asking: "Gu Sicheng, take a bath tomorrow, and you can drink freely tonight. Is it true that we will not see each other again?"

Gu Ningxi's drinking capacity is increasing day by day. After drinking five cups tonight, she still feels sanity clear. She doesn't feel like going back to the past a few nights ago, and she feels even more heartbroken when she hears the question.

The lights in the restaurant were dimly lit, and the smell of wine was everywhere. Being in it, it seemed as if you would get drunk if you stayed for a while longer. Gu Ningxi unknowingly confided to outsiders: "I miss her. But the plums in the melon field, do you understand? She is afraid that I will spoil her reputation, no Ken...see me."

The shopkeeper's politeness accompanied him to sigh, and actively offered an idea: "Gu Sicheng is still in love. If you don't see him as an adult, then...how about gifts? What woman doesn't like beautiful beads and flower jewelry, clothes and cloth? Oh, my lady... expensive The former... is your sweetheart, and there should be something he likes, do you want to give him more gifts?"

Gu Ningxi poured herself three cups in a row, threw away the wooden bone cup that was cut out from the locust tree, and seemed to cry and laugh: "Why should I give a gift? I am worse than a concubine whose identity is unknown. I am guilty. I have other women involved in my marriage I can't drop it. Besides, someone else has already given her a heart, so do I still need to give it?"

"It turns out... your lady can't tolerate people? If Gu Sicheng has to make a decision, he can only do it at one end, or break off with the women outside, or just forget about your lady."

"I can't forget it! People are deep in my heart, how can I forget it?" Gu Ningxi clasped her hands behind her head, her voice sounded like a whisper, tears dripped quietly on the table, mixed with the overflowing wine in the cup, no one noticed.

"Then let's cut off the dewy marriage. Girls outside, give money and things, find a husband and wife who suits her, and fulfill her wish. It can always be solved, right?"

"But she just wants to be with me. What should I do?"

"For your deep affection for your lady, no matter what kind of angels out there are, if they really follow you, they won't be able to win the sincerity. She just didn't understand for a while. I guess at random, are you too embarrassed to say something to the girl?" Reserved? How about you speak more ruthlessly, and if you make any promises when you are passionate, you should deny it at the same time, for the good of everyone in the rest of your life."

Gu Ningxi seemed to have found the next direction, and held the shopkeeper's forearm through the clothes: "Thank you for your guidance!"
