Tao Xinhe held her hair in her hands, two lines of tears rolled silently from the corners of her eyes, and were absorbed by the soft pillow.

Feeling the wetness of the gradually cooling water on her cheeks, she thought to herself, my husband lied to me again and again, using the Ministry of Rites as a cover again and again, why bother.

Zhang Shangshu is nearly 60 years old, he is upright and clean, how could he suddenly think of asking the Ministry of Rites to drink some wine?

He left from the alley of Mo Qiniang's house, where did he go after that, he returned late at night, drunk and rouged, it must not be a good place!

**

It's also late at night on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, no, the child's time has passed, it's the 22nd, and it's one day closer to the new year.

In another part of the capital, in the small courtyard of Mo's family, it was supposed to be quiet in the middle of the night, Mo Qi woke up from coughing again, struggled to grab the edge of the bed and vomited, which alarmed Mo Qiqi, put on his clothes and came across the room to help his brother Pat your chest and back, clean up the house.

With the faint candlelight, Mo Qi looked at his younger sister who was constantly busy, and thought of his younger sister, Mo Qiqi, who was beautiful, soft and charming, with misty apricot eyes, thin red lips, exquisite figure, wicker Waist, proper Xiaojiabiyu.

It's not that there are no teenagers in their hometown who admire their younger sisters and propose marriage to their eldest brother.

It was only because I wanted to pass the Jinshi examination and make a proper marriage for the brother and sister later that I delayed my sister until she was eighteen.

However, the young girl Huaichun, how could she control her. For example, in the afternoon of the day, when I suddenly saw Mr. Gu visiting, my sister's eyes lit up instantly, and her face gradually became red.

The joy and joy that could not be suppressed by the girl's reserve, seemed to be the only one who discovered it, and Gu Ningxi didn't notice it at all. Thinking of this, Mo Qi felt a dull pain in his heart.

He tried his best to sit up straight, cleaned up the filth at hand, and took advantage of the opportunity to recall the conversation between Gu Ningxi and himself when he was alone today.

**

Before, in this room, under the warm and warm afternoon sun, Mo Qi was coughing and wheezing, and tentatively asked: "Master Gu, I am so grateful to you. Sorry for the presumptuousness of Wansheng, as if seeing the adult's gaze I often linger on my sister's face, but do you have the intention of accepting it?"

Mo Qi had already known the identity of the Jinshi Exam Examiner who had been visiting frequently for more than two months under the name of "caring about the lack of scholars" at the beginning from the local neighbors who came to visit occasionally:

Gu Ningxi, the Minister of the Tribute Department of the Ministry of Rites, is a fifth-rank official residence, with a dragon and a phoenix appearance, young and promising, full of talent and learning, excellent in calligraphy and painting, I heard that he is sought after by thousands of gold for his hand-painted flowers and birds.

Born in a scholarly family, both parents died, and his grandfather was Gu Chengxiang, the second-rank emperor teacher who passed away more than a year ago.

It is said that at that time, the new emperor Yongsheng personally came to express his condolences, and wished to bestow the honor on the deceased prime minister, and also wished to bestow favor on his children.

It was discovered that the grandson of his eldest son was Gu Ningxi, who had been an official for several years and never relied on his grandfather Yu Yin. He was excellent in the evaluation, he wrote a lot, and his superiors praised him a lot. The emperor patted Gu Ningxi on the back and said, "This is the unicorn in Gu Xiang's family, and the teacher has successors."

Therefore, Gu Ningxi, whom Mo didn't know, condescended to take good care of her siblings, and Mo Qi didn't know what he was planning, and was always worried.

Mo Qi would be proud to win the favor of high-ranking officials with his own talents and abilities, but offering his sister as a concubine and seeking honor and attachment are things he would never do.

Today, Gu Ningxi gave him money and medicine again, thinking that it is difficult to repay the accumulated kindness, Mo Qi finally couldn't hold it back, deliberately picked it up, and directly asked Gu Ningxi if he had unreasonable thoughts about his sister.

Hearing this, Gu Ningxi looked away from the door where her younger sister Ping Ting walked out, and looked at herself, slightly frowning and pursing her lips, a little surprised, maybe a little ashamed? Mo Qi didn't know if his interpretation was correct.

Uncomfortably coughing twice, Gu Ningxi looked directly at Mo Qi, and confessed her shortcomings: "Mo Juren, to tell you the truth, I suffered from prosopagnosia since I was a child, and I couldn't distinguish between myself and other people's faces, just like a blind man with his eyes open. , huh. Only Lingmei, uh, is an exception."

Yue Mo saw Mo Qi's wide-open eyes showing an unbelievable expression, Gu Ningxi smiled wryly and waved his hands, and continued: "I am also puzzled. Lingmei's face, to me, is like He's jade, which is incomparably precious ,unique."

Mo Qi was terrified when he heard it, and he was very glad that his sister was not there, otherwise, hearing such a red-hot confession, wouldn't he be more deeply involved? Master Gu said so, does he really have any reverie about his sister?

Gu Ningxi lowered her eyes and continued to speak, with a sincere expression: "For these treasures, I only have a heart of admiration, and I have no intention of being obscene. I don't know if Mo Juren can understand that Lingmei's face, not Lingmei herself, is important to me. It's special. As for the women in the world, only my wife is the one I want, and I will never have another heart in this life." As if thinking of that person, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his face brightened.

Apart from the fact that Gu Ningxi was once praised by the new emperor, what Mo Qi remembers is that he has a good wife in his family.

Speaking of the unconventional noble lady Tao who went in and out with her husband at the same banquet, the people chatting their teeth were still fond of talking about Gu Ningxi's public words on the day of Gu Ningxi's wedding that "a lifetime is a couple".

Mo Qi knew that his younger sister could not be Gu Ningxi's main wife, but it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so he suspected that Gu Ningxi wanted to make his younger sister younger.

Hearing the words "No Second Heart" with his own ears, Mo Qi realized that he was thinking left.

This is the possibility of Gu Ningxi cutting himself off from his beautiful wife and concubine, and hugging him left and right, how difficult it is for a man.

Changing places, Mo Qi, who is proud and wants to marry a wife after passing the Jinshi exam, asks himself that he may not be able to do it in the future, and the feeling is complicated, and he is speechless for a while.

Gu Ningxi was originally sitting on the only decent wooden chair with a backrest in the room. At this point, he stood up neatly, tall and tall, and apologized to Mo Qi who was lying on the bed: "It's still me Acting imprudently caused Mo Ju to misunderstand, I apologize, and I will pay more attention to my behavior in the future. Please don't make any more questions."

Mo Qi let go of half of his heart and nodded in agreement.

After that, he unexpectedly formed a righteous relative, and since then he has more brothers and sisters-in-law.

Mo Qi specially entrusted his younger sister to try out her marriage, seeing that Gu Ningxi's complexion was fine, and she agreed happily, and even said that it was exactly what the question about pro-betrothal should mean. He tremblingly let go of the other half of his heart, and confirmed that this pro-brother has no **** with his sister affection between.

Brother and sister have been dependent on each other for so many years, Mo Qi has long understood his sister's mind, and the remaining worry is how to get rid of the silly idea of ​​a girl's family at the beginning of love.

Remembering that before Gu Ningxi left, Qiniang quickly changed her mind when she found out about her brother-in-law, changing from "Master Gu" to "Brother Xi" in one step, and even volunteered to send "Brother Xi" to the alley in the cold wind of the new moon. Qi secretly smiled wryly, knowing that he had a long way to go to change his sister's thinking.

**

The cough in his chest brought Mo Qi back to his senses, he patted him a few times to calm himself down, and said to his younger sister with a guilty conscience: "Qiniang, go to sleep, brother will take care of himself."

Mo Qiqi, who is thin and thin, has quick hands and feet, while lowering his head to clean up and wipe the foul-smelling vomit, while secretly holding his breath, he comforted his brother with a soft voice from between his teeth: "Although the doctor that Brother Xi invited today came at night, but Seeing that he has some abilities, he will definitely be able to cure my brother, and we will change to new medicine tomorrow morning. Brother, lie down and recuperate quickly, don't worry about me."

After tidying up, put warm tea by Mo Qi's hand. Although Mo Qiqi was worried, but also knew that his brother's illness should not be rushed, Yiyi returned to her room with a candle.

Although she was awakened from a deep sleep and was busy, the young girl’s house is still in good shape. Accompanied by the dim moonlight or the twilight of the rising sun, she made up her bed tightly in the boudoir where the residual warmth of the charcoal basin remained, and Mo Qiqi fell down and continued. As soon as he touched the pillow, he dreamed about the scene of getting along with Brother Xi during this period of time.

She and her elder brother left their hometown in the early spring of this year and went to Beijing early to prepare for the Jinshi examination. Unexpectedly, after the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, it seemed like he was suffering from heatstroke and dysentery. My brother fell ill and couldn't take the exam.

Mo Qi talked about it every day, and it was better to be at the bottom of the exam than to be absent. Mo Qiqi took care of her elder brother day and night, and after listening to this a lot, she had a sudden idea and came up with the idea of ​​disguised as a man to take the exam on behalf of her brother.

Keeping it from Mo Qiqi, he squeezed out money and entrusted his elder brother to a neighbor to take care of him for a few days, then Mo Qiqi went to the Gong Yuan.

The first time I saw Brother Xi outside the Gong Yuan, a high-ranking young civil servant, dressed in a majestic scarlet official robe, with piercing eyes on his handsome face, led himself to the corner of the wall, without saying a word, his eyes were all on his face.

At that time, Mo Qiqi might have been scared and trembling, but when the scene of the first encounter reappeared in her dream, in her mind, she was shy and blushed.

What's more, actually at that time, a strange voice rang in his ear, and Mo Qiqi, who was extremely nervous, ignored it.

In her dream at the moment, that voice was drawn from the depths of her mind, faithfully serving as the background sound:

[Di-di, bind the host, and the "Help You Consummation" system starts to work. 】

[Start to lock on the male lead, face blindness is not a dream, only one among thousands of people recognizes you. 】

[Oops, it seems to be tied wrongly, the host is not the one who is destined by the male lead. Untie, untie! 】

[Unbinding failed. 】

[Since there has been a mistake, the system task has been adjusted, from "Help you to Consummation" to "Add a test", it seems that the hero recognizes his face or his heart. Ugh…】

In the dream, Mo Qiqi frowned, and unconsciously stretched out her hands to rub her ears, as if she was dissatisfied with the sour dream.

But she hadn't woken up yet, and she turned over completely, with the words "Brother Xi" vaguely lingering in her sleep between her lips and teeth, and entered the next dream.

Missing the exam doesn't count, and his brother's condition is getting worse, Mo Qiqi feels gloomy. One day in October, Brother Xi was like a man from heaven. Hu Lala visited their dilapidated and cramped residence, with a gentle attitude and plain words, completely different from the stern and disciplined inspector in her impression.

To say the same thing, Brother Xi looked at him, still very focused, as if he was the most important treasure in his world.

For two months, Mo Qiqi couldn't tell when Gu Ningxi would come, so he missed him and looked forward to him even more, and was even more pleasantly surprised to see him.

Their eyes met, and her heart couldn't help beating wildly.

The kind smile that often hangs on the corner of his lips will be chewed by her repeatedly, driving him to snicker in places where no one is around.

The simple and polite, few-sentence conversation response made her feel that Gu Ningxi was restrained and reserved, and must have meant something beyond the words, and she made associations by herself, and the more she thought about it, the more ashamed she became.

Gu Ningxi was the only shining light in her monotonous and bleak life of taking care of patients.

The author has something to say:

Can't help but spoiler, Mo Qiqi is a rebirth belt system, but she still doesn't know it yet, dear angel readers, please look forward to the next article.
