The next day.

Xia Zhu tried to climb out of bed last night and was kicked out of the study. He was beaten twenty times. Early this morning, he was handed over to the eldest lady. She asked the eldest lady to find the nanny to sell Xia Zhu. All over the Hou Mansion.

This incident also sounded the alarm for the cautious maids in the mansion. The Marquis had no intention of taking a concubine, so even if a beautiful maid like Xia Zhu recommended herself as a pillow mat, it would be useless, and other maids were even less likely to think about it.

Therefore, the maids in the mansion did not dare to take another look at Gu Jingxi, for fear that if he took one more look, the Marquis would think they had evil intentions and betray them due to their displeasure.

The Marquis of their family was capable, solved cases like a god, was highly valued by the emperor, had a high status in the Marquis House, and worked decently in the Changxing Marquis House. How could he have such dignity if he was sold out?

On the other side of the main room, Madam Zhang smelled that her husband was full of makeup. She knew that her husband had just come out of the house where he had taken the concubine two days ago. She immediately became angry and lost her temper: "Look at Third Brother." , look at you again, you love pleasure and are lustful, you spend all your time huddled in those foxy houses, you don’t know how to take it easy even at your age, take care of your body!”

Gu Jingsheng had just come back from his concubine's room and was feeling happy. When he heard his wife scolding him, he became angry and replied, "If I wasn't lewd, how could I have married you in the first place?"

Zhang was furious: "You..."

Her husband had indeed taken a fancy to her at the beginning. Otherwise, if her father had only won the first prize at the age of eleven and entered the Hanlin Academy, and the Zhang family had no foundation, how could she have become the daughter-in-law of the Gu family?

They had a good few years after their marriage. As she got older, this lustful thing gradually fell in love with the young and beautiful concubine. He would rest in her room at night, but he would only sleep and rarely touch her. Especially in the past few years, she has basically stopped touching her. If she takes the initiative, people will tell her that she needs to rest when she is tired, or it will be like ogling a blind person.

The more she thought about it, the angrier Ms. Zhang became. Her eyes turned red with anger. She reached out and pinched her husband's arm: "Gu, your conscience has been eaten by a dog? I will give you children." I have two sons, one who won the imperial examination and the other who won the scholarship. They have worked hard for so many years without any merit. If you say such chilling words, are you worthy of me?"

When Gu Jingsheng heard this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and said, "What I just said was out of anger. Don't take it to heart. It's because you are looking for trouble for me. Otherwise, how can I be angry?"

Mrs. Zhang pointed back at herself: "You said I'm looking for trouble? Don't you look at what you've done? Of the three brothers, you are the most outrageous. Your second brother was Xuan Ling's biological mother in the beginning, and Xuan Ling was a concubine. I haven’t taken any concubines since my birth mother passed away. I am in harmony with my second brother and sister, and your third brother is even more self-sufficient and doesn’t take any maids from my intercourse.”

Gu Jingsheng said with a straight face: "That's because they are not good at it, and it's not that your husband is not good at it. How can we compare people's bodies? You are simply unreasonable. It is normal for men to take concubines and keep houses. You were sensible before, but now you are To become so jealous, I think you are going crazy."

Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly: "I think you are crazy. The concubine you took is younger than your daughter. You are rushing to be a father!"

After hearing this, Gu Jingsheng's face turned dark, and he was not used to her: "I want concubines and women, but I don't like young ones. How can I accept an old woman like you?" After saying this, he directly threw up his sleeves and left, and when he returned, he said to himself The gentle and carefree concubine.

Old woman?

Mrs. Zhang's face froze and she touched her face subconsciously. She was deeply shocked. She was only thirty-five years old and thought she was taking good care of herself. But her husband actually called her an old woman?

A man older than her calls her an old woman?

Mrs. Zhang's eyes were red and she felt aggrieved. Who hasn't been young? It’s just that time is not forgiving. If you are already disliked like this when you are only thirty-five, what will happen in a few years? He probably disliked even looking at her. Fortunately, she has two sensible sons, otherwise she would not be able to survive this life.

-

Meng Jinyao didn't know about the quarrel between the couple in the first house, but she knew that the maids in the house were avoiding Gu Jingxi. Gu Jingxi, who originally became the hottie again, became someone other than her again because of those operations. A character that no one cares about.

The effect is really remarkable!

While helping him grind it, Meng Jinyao said, "Husband, I didn't expect that Xia Zhu's incident would have a great impact on them. Those maids don't dare to look at you even when they see you."

Gu Jingxi was very satisfied with the result: "I think it's good. It eliminates their inappropriate thoughts and won't cause any trouble in the future. This way, you and I can worry less. I told you last year, I don’t know how to take concubines, and if they have ulterior motives, it would be troublesome for me.”

Hearing this, the corners of Meng Jinyao's mouth turned up. In the past, others thought she had picked up someone else, but she didn't feel much about it. Now she felt that feeling deeply. She really found a perfect husband after someone else's mistake.

Gu Jingxi finished writing the letter to his distant friends, put down the brush, took the scroll aside, unfolded the scroll, and asked with a smile: "Ayao, I found an extra poem on the painting last night, this song "Spring Light" OK. When did you mention it?"

Meng Jinyao was confused and couldn't remember it for a moment. She lowered her head and looked at the spring scene before remembering.

On the right side of the scroll, it is written in small regular script with hairpin flowers:

The east wind is cold, the green moss is spotted, and the apricot blossoms are withered. In the melancholy three spring rains, the swallows fly back.

I have been lazily combing through the clouds and skimming the moon for a long time, leaning on the railing alone in silence. When will we see the return boat on the waves, separated by the blue smoke?

Meng Jinyao looked at her humble work, with a stunned look on her face, and coughed twice: "Husband, I, I saw that this painting had a good artistic conception. I was inspired and wrote a poem. If my husband feels that this painting has been ruined, Painting, let me paint one for my husband as an apology?"

She wouldn't say that because her husband went to Hangzhou, she missed him every day, like a resentful woman. When she looked through her husband's paintings, she felt a little sad when she saw this painting, and began to think wildly, imagining what would happen if her husband was gone at the end of the year. I haven't finished dealing with things there, and I don't know if I can return home next spring, so I wrote the first poem.

As soon as Gu Jingxi heard this, he thought of her painting skills. Even if she sprinkled a handful of rice on the paper and let the chicken step on it, she could paint better than her. If she wanted to paint, she would be the first to suffer. He said hurriedly: "No, A Yao's lyrics are very good, and the calligraphy is also very good."

Meng Jinyao asked: "Then what do you mean by showing me the painting?"

"I feel happy. I knew that A Yao misses me, but now I find that A Yao misses me more than I thought." As Gu Jingxi spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch the poem, and the scene of A Yao's inscription appeared in his mind. .

Meng Jinyao glared at him: "It's good that you knew it, but you still said it and made me feel embarrassed. Put the painting away quickly."

Gu Jingxi replied: "Put it away for what? This painting needs to be hung up."

Meng Jinyao was dumbfounded: "Hang it up? Hang it up in this study room?"

Gu Jingxi asked, "What else?"

Meng Jinyao: "..."

This is the study room in the front yard. In the future, when guests or colleagues come to talk to each other, they will go to the study room to talk. This guy must have done it on purpose, deliberately letting people see it, so that people know how good their relationship is as a couple, and The poem also has a date written on it, and anyone who knows the inside story can tell at a glance the circumstances under which the poem was inscribed.

Gu Jingxi said: "A-Yao, don't think too much. My husband just thinks that A-Yao's calligraphy and my husband's paintings are very good."

Meng Jinyao closed her eyes, opened them again, and simply followed his will without any objection. Anyway, if you are embarrassed, you will be embarrassed together. Marquis Changxing is not afraid of embarrassment. As the wife of Marquis Changxing, she is naturally not afraid of embarrassment.

She replied: "As long as your husband feels good about it."
