The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

The next day.

Meng Jinyao thought that her second brother Chengzhang had arrived at the academy, but she didn't know how it was in the academy now and whether he was used to it, so she thought of writing a letter to her second brother to ask.

There is a study room in Wei Ruixuan, but when Meng Jinyao just got married, she wanted to get acquainted with Wei Ruixuan, so she went to the study to take a look. She didn't usually go in, and she was in the small flower hall when she needed to check the account books.

Today, it was the second time she entered the study.

In the study room.

There is a mahogany box on the desk, which is very conspicuous. You can see it as soon as you enter the study room.

When Ningdong saw the box, she frowned subconsciously, and an unknown fire arose in her heart. Thinking that her master had given her a lesson last night, she didn't dare to say anything she shouldn't have said, and only said softly: "Mrs. , this mahogany box looks very familiar."

Meng Jinyao raised her eyes and nodded softly and said "Hmm". This box was obviously the box that contained the set of mutton-fat white jade noodles. Gu Jingxi took the set of noodles out of the warehouse and put it in the study. He thought he was busy and didn't have time to look for it. Once the place is ready, place it directly on the desk.

Ningdong observed his master's expression calmly, and when he saw that his expression was as usual, he pretended that the jarring box did not exist, and said: "Madam, I will prepare some pen and ink for you."

Meng Jinyao nodded with a smile: "Okay, you go and study the ink first."

After she finished speaking, she walked around the desk and sat down on the chair in front of the desk. Then she reached out to pick up the mahogany box and placed it gently on the upper left corner of the desk, leaving the middle space free so that she could pick up the pen later. write a letter.

When Ningdong saw this, she felt very uncomfortable, but her master was always calm and calm, as if he really didn't care about this kind of thing, and she slowly relaxed.

After Ning Dong finished studying the ink, Meng Jinyao picked up the pen and wrote three pages of letter paper before stopping. She didn't notice that she was verbose before, but now when she looked at this letter from home, she suddenly realized that she was not old yet, just like an old lady. Long-winded.

As expected, the eldest sister is like mother. The younger brother is away from home, and she, as the elder sister, is like an old mother.

After a while, the ink was dry. Meng Jinyao folded the letter and put it in an envelope, handed it to Ningdong, and said, "Find someone to deliver the letter to the second young master later."

Ningdong took the letter and responded: "Yes, madam."

When he was about to leave the study, Ningdong turned his eyes and looked at the mahogany box, his eyes filled with resentment. He curled his lips and looked away.

Meng Jinyao noticed the change in her expression and asked warmly: "Are you still angry, girl?"

Ningdong was stunned for a moment, and then said frankly: "My slave, Lord Qi, has married you, but he is still thinking about someone else. Isn't it just a set of face that I couldn't give away? Isn't it like a treasure? You still put it in the study. , He still treats things that others don’t want as treasures, why would the noble Marquis do such a derogatory thing?”

Meng Jinyao smiled and said softly: "This kind of thing is not our responsibility. As long as he doesn't expose it to me, just pretend he never knew about it. It would be bad if some things were revealed."

Ningdong nodded lightly, sighed inwardly, and then followed his master out of the study.

-

At night, it was completely dark.

Gu Jingxi returned to Wei Ruixuan under the stars and wore the moon. When she entered the inner room, she saw the little girl who had just finished bathing, sitting on a chair in her pajamas. Qingqiu was wringing her hair with a handkerchief.

When Qingqiu saw him coming in, she moved her hands and hurriedly saluted him: "Master Hou."

Meng Jinyao turned around and saw Gu Jingxi standing not far behind her, holding a rosewood box in his hand, looking at her with a gentle expression and a faint smile.

Seeing that her hair was almost dry, Gu Jingxi said to Qingqiu: "You go down first. I have something to say to my wife."

Qingqiu responded and retreated numbly.

Meng Jinyao stood up, turned around, looked at him with confusion, and asked, "Husband, what do you want to tell me?"

Gu Jingxi strolled forward, handed the rosewood box in his hand to her, and said warmly: "This is for Madam, see if Madam likes it?"

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao glanced at him in surprise and reached out to take the box with doubts. Although she did not open the box, she felt that the items must be quite valuable, otherwise they would not be packed in a box made of rosewood. She asked: "Husband, What is this?"

"Ma'am, take a look first." Gu Jingxi motioned for her to open the box.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Meng Jinyao became even more confused. She carried the box and put it down on the table nearby. Then she opened the box and lowered her eyes. Her eyes immediately froze, and she looked at the contents inside with shock and amazement.

It was a set of rubies and red gold tiaras. There were twenty-three pieces in this set of tiaras. Each gem was about the size of a thumb, mainly in the form of peony. The golden light was brilliant, radiant, exquisite and dazzling, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away. Priceless.

Meng Jinyao stared blankly for a long time, then looked up at Gu Jingxi, her heart pounding, and asked uncertainly: "Husband, this, is this for me?"

Gu Jingxi nodded with a smile: "Well, do you like it, madam?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Meng Jinyao lowered her eyes to look at the exquisite and eye-catching head and face again. Joy filled her heart. She smiled brightly, her eyes bright and full of joy, nodded heavily, and replied crisply: "I like it!"

Let me ask, which girl has such a beautiful head and face, and can still say "I don't like it"?

The little girl's eyebrows were curved and her smile was bright and bright. Gu Jingxi was dazzled for a moment. Looking at the little girl's smiling eyes, his eyes became softer and the corners of his mouth deepened. He said warmly: "As long as Madam likes this, it's fine." It’s my mother’s dowry when she gets married.”

Meng Jinyao was stunned after hearing this. She didn't expect that this hair and face was actually a dowry from her mother-in-law. She was flattered and asked, "Why did my husband suddenly give me such an expensive hair and face?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "The plum-blossom-style mutton-fat white jade hair and face from before was too plain and not suitable for Madam. My wife looks brighter and wears brightly colored jewelry, which makes her temperament more attractive, so I went to my mother to get this set of hair and face." "

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao was stunned again. She glanced at the man with an indiscernible expression, then lowered her head to look at the mask, her thoughts changing over and over again.

She thought to herself, could it be that Gu Jingxi was trying to compensate her?

The set of mutton-fat white jade noodle set in the study must have been custom-made by Gu Jingxi. He didn't give her his mother's dowry to the girl he liked, but instead gave her her mother's dowry.

A mother's dowry is of great significance. It is usually given to her daughter or passed on to her daughter-in-law after she enters the house. After all, sons do not wear jewelry.

In Gu Jingxi's heart, does it mean that she is the only wife and her position is untouchable?

Gu Jingxi looked at the jewelry in the box, then looked at the little girl's pretty face, and commented objectively: "Although the plum blossoms are elegant, my husband feels that the lady wearing the peony style looks better, and is graceful and luxurious."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao raised her head again and looked at the man's clear and picturesque face for a moment. Suddenly, without knowing what kind of psychology she had, she asked a very embarrassing question: "Husband, are you asking for anything that you can't get?" Girl?"
