Tao Xinhe thought, before leaving yesterday, Gu Ningxi promised to leave the two paintings of Zhang Shangshu's family members untouched, because he was going to wait until he had finished his assignment before painting. I don't know if I can see the finished product today.

If he couldn't support his body, let alone just one night, it is very likely that the painting has not been completed yet. Tao Xinhe still had some impressions of the warehouse in Gu's residence, so she closed her eyes and thought about it on the way there, or else she would pick up some good-quality items from the warehouse as souvenirs, so that she could go to the door of Shangshu's residence.

Arriving at Xin Gu's Mansion, Tao Xinhe accidentally bumped into Gu Ningxi who hadn't slept all night drinking thick Kuding tea.

"Don't you think it's bitter and choking your throat?" Tao Xinhe smelled the special bitter aroma of Kuding, but she didn't expect that Gu Ningxi's brows wouldn't move, and she drank the tea cup in one gulp as if drinking honey water.

Gu Ningxi was accidentally seen by others, choked on the last sip of tea, coughed earth-shatteringly for a while, and naturally vomited some blood, causing Tao Xinhe to frown and remain silent, biting her lips to observe his complexion.

Gu Ningxi calmed down her breath, looked at the radiance of the sun that was climbing towards the middle of the sky at Chenshi, and stared carefully at the refreshed lady, while responding: "At the beginning, I naturally felt miserable. But as I sip, I always I will think of my wife... When I used this tea to punish me, I felt that it had a special taste, and I tasted a cup and a half from time to time, as if it had become a daily routine."

Gu Ningxi's eyes wandered around Tao Xinhe's hair, neck, and hands. He couldn't see the beauty's expression, so he didn't catch it. When Tao Xinhe heard him blurt out the word "lady", her brows and eyes suddenly became dazed.

He just felt that the breath around He Niang's body was not so tight and sharp, as if she was surrounded by a light and transparent veil, hazy, inseparable, and elusive.

In Tao Xinhe's eyes, Gu Ningxi's complexion is ashen, black and blue around the eyes, and the stubble on the chin protrudes. It seems that he has used his energy too much all night long. Don't care about your appearance?

Tao Xinhe sighed: "It's no good to mention the past. I didn't expect that we could talk so quickly and calmly. I even ran around for you. It's all because of injustice. Bullying people can't see it, so don't think too much about it. By the way, I'll get the painting."

Gu Ningran smiled when she heard the words, her brows twitched and the corners of her lips curved, just like a rainbow after the rain, his face brightened and became radiant: "What He Niang said is true, I understand it. No matter what you say, I will show you my affection Houyi. Both paintings have been finished, and there is no time to mount them, and they are being spread in the study to dry the ink."

Although she was the one who proposed to get the paintings, Tao Xinhe was still surprised when she heard that both of them were completed: "One night? You finished two paintings? Are they all in the same size?"

"Exactly, He Niang, please come and have a look."

"Lady Tao! Call me Lay Tao."

Seeing Gu Ningxi's new work, Tao Xinhe appreciatively analyzed it for a long while, and was convinced: "It is rumored in the market that Gu Sicheng has a literary talent, excellent calligraphy and painting, and I really did not praise you wrong."

"Tao Jushi still needs to know me from the rumors?"

"Don't be so talkative. In those three years, apart from writing books, how many paintings did you draw? When I asked, you said you were clumsy. It's just that you are too lazy to draw, and you don't think it's the foundation of a literati's speech and meritorious service."

Tao Xinhe looked closer and closer to the paintings, especially the gorgeous mountain flowers that she arranged on a temporary basis. Gu Ningxi's paintings were much more colorful than she imagined, and she felt that dealing with Zhang Shangshu's concubine was easy and would not be stumbling. Feeling relaxed for a moment, she unconsciously uttered the words from the bottom of her heart in a familiar tone, as if the intimacy she once had was recalled.

Gu Ningxi smiled even more, and said a few words with deep meaning, "As long as I don't disappoint you."

Tao Xinhe came back to her senses, deeply regretting that she was weak just now, she quickly frowned her eyebrows and tightened her expression, the aura around her might have changed, Gu Ningxi then put away her smile, frowned and asked softly: "But what's wrong?"

"It's okay. I delivered the post last night, and Zhang Shangshu should be waiting for me in the mansion right now. Don't bother him to wait for a long time, so I'll go right away. You wrap up the scroll and tie it up, and I'll take it with you."

Watching Tao Xinhe's beautiful figure board the Tao's carriage, Gu Ningxi returned to the room with the support of the servant, exhaled a breath, and the fatigue of staying up all night came back, leaving a sentence: "Madam, if you have any orders or you are back home, you wake me up."

He finally let go of the burden on his mind for the time being, and fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, he called his wife, and the turmeric-clad woman agreed shyly. He put his arms around Rou Run's shoulders, and she snuggled into his arms.

He uttered a raving sound - He Niang.

**

Zhang Shangshu was actually beating a drum in his heart. He heard that Qin Sizheng said a lot of bad things about Gu Ningxi, but he didn't take it seriously at first, until yesterday he heard that Gu Ningxi was expelled from the clan and his whereabouts were unknown.

It's one thing for him to look up to and appreciate this backward official, but it's another thing for the Ministry of Rites to be unable to report to the emperor due to Gu Ningran's personal reasons. When it comes to tracing, he defies all opinions and arranges Gu Ningxi to be in charge of sorting out the ancient books, which must be inseparable.

Last night, he suddenly received a call from Tao Chang's daughter. Zhang Shangshu thought for a while before he remembered that this was Gu Ningxi and the woman who left.

Starting to read the post carefully with curiosity, Zhang Shangshu rarely had a solid sleep, which caused the maid in the room to complain coquettishly that the master's snoring was loud.

Zhang Shangshu sent someone to the Ministry of Rituals to deliver a message, asking the Ministry of Rituals member Wailang to take care of daily affairs temporarily, while he waited for Tao Shi in the mansion, waiting for her to talk about Gu Ningxi's recent completion of the task, and waiting for her to give him a reassurance.

Tao Shi arrived as promised, Zhang Shangshu watched, she was still as eloquent, with sharp eyebrows and eyes as she had seen at the banquet.

The most rare thing is that for Gu Ningxi, she has an embarrassing status, but she can deal with Zhang Shangshu's sudden inquiries in a dignified and appropriate manner, which makes the well-informed old man very satisfied.

Zhang Shangshu finally said: "Trouble Jushi Tao to spread this message for Ningxi. I will rest assured to wait for him to bring out his things at the end of the month. Let him not be distracted from other matters, and he will be his own husband."

Tao Xinhe was waiting for this sentence, show your face and salute, thank you Zhang Shangshu.

After talking about the business, Tao Xinhe presented the list of gifts, all of which were in line with the hobbies of Zhang Shangshu, his wife, and several children, just as she was always meticulous and thoughtful.

Mrs. Zhang came late, she held Tao Xinhe's hand and said that she missed her very much, and when she saw the gift list, she even smiled into a chrysanthemum face. As Mrs. Shangshu, what good things haven't she seen? What is rare is Tao Xinhe's kindness.

not only that.

Tao Xinhe took out two new paintings by Gu Ningxi, and explained that he was injured a few days ago, which delayed his time and didn't have time to frame them. Please forgive me, Mrs. Zhang, and enjoy them as you like. He spoke very humbly and politely.

Mrs. Zhang was already very happy when she saw the Yanbo picture she asked for, and then she glanced at another painting that the master had unfolded by herself, and found that it was not the peony painting that the little bitch/people expected, but little wild flowers, and she was more satisfied with Gu Ningxi's wit .

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang forced Tao Xinhe to have lunch with her. Tao Xinhe hesitated for a moment, but still bit her lips and agreed, just like what she often did for Mrs. Gu. She told herself that it was only the last time that it started well and ended well.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't avoid inquiring about her entanglement with Gu Ningxi.

Tao Xinhe finally looked serious, put down the chopsticks, wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, looked at Mrs. Zhang with rolling eyes, and said sincerely: "I will tell Mrs. Zhang. I am saying goodbye. I will help him for the last time. Years of fate plus appropriate footnotes. I am letting go, pushing him with my ability, and seeing that he is safe, I can calmly find mine. Also, I am forgetting..."

Mrs. Zhang had fought with her concubine for half her life, and at noon she proudly told Tao Xinhe that the pregnant concubine had a bad womb and was bedridden all the time, so she couldn't come out to see people.

She knew that Tao Xinhe reconciled because Gu Ningxi wanted to take a concubine. Seeing that she was running away because of it today, she thought that Tao Xinhe accepted the humiliation and humiliation of men taking concubines. It's about to come out, and I'm going to pass it on to this woman who went back after tossing around.

But listening to Tao Xinhe's tone, it doesn't look like it at all.

Mrs. Zhang answered in a daze, "What did you forget?"

Tao Xinhe smiled lightly, with the charming look in Mrs. Zhang's eyes. She said: "I want to forget that I once loved this man so much that I couldn't stand him looking for someone else. I want to go through this running, practice myself thinking of him again, and there will be no waves in my heart, just see him as an old acquaintance .”

Mrs. Zhang couldn't understand, but she was greatly shocked and amazed: "He Niang, you are embarrassing yourself! What will you do with the rest of your life?"

Xia Chong can't say anything, Mrs. Zhang, like most women, regards her husband as her **** and her concubine as her enemy. Tao Xinhe felt that it was dull and boring, so she responded lightly and perfunctorily, put aside her thoughts and confessed her thoughts seriously.

**

Gu Ningran waited anxiously for Gu Ningxi or Tao Fu to attack, but found that there was no movement on both sides, and she became more and more irritable.

After returning to the mansion, he didn't visit his grandmother any more, he was afraid of catching accusations from the corners of his grandmother's brows and eyes, so he took a new concubine in just a few days, and Chuichuidada carried her in through the back door, naturally quarreling with Cao Shi several times.

Cheng Shicheng has been staring at him secretly, thinking about avenging himself in his previous life, waiting to catch Gu Ningran's braid.

The old Gu's mansion has long since become a sieve, the loyal ones who don't know what to say, are slowly driven away by the fringe, and those who are active in front of the master are all sweet-talking, but they don't know what their thoughts are. Third Aunt Gu is actually not good at managing the family. The Cao family is strong in pinching and being mean to her subordinates, and she is not a good master in the hearts of servants.

Therefore, Cheng Shicheng used some tricks and arranged for his servants to get a lot of information from the servants of the old Gu's mansion.

For example, Mrs. Gu was very sick.

During the day on February 20, the holiday, she was able to walk like flying and enter the temple to worship Buddha. At night, when she saw her precious grandson, she wailed: "Poor brother Ran!"

Then the servant heard her old man asking: "Where is Brother Xi, tell him to come and talk to me." After a while, there was news that the old lady had a stroke!

Cheng Shicheng was pondering over this, wondering if he should investigate deeply by himself, or tell Gu Ningxi who was determined to report his cousin to the emperor.
