Chapter 566 Father’s debt is paid by son
Meng Jinyao stepped out of his arms, winked at him, and smiled teasingly: "I think my husband is very beautiful. He should look very beautiful when he puts on a skirt and dances."
Gu Jingxi's face was stiff, and he flatly refused: "Impossible, don't even think about it."
"Husband, didn't you just say that you can afford what I want?" Meng Jinyao said, sighing softly, looking at him with disappointment in her eyes, "I asked for it but you didn't give it to me. You must be teasing me. It really makes me sad."
Gu Jingxi knew that she was retreating in order to advance, and he refused without any ripples in his heart: "Don't even think about it. If it's something else, I can still agree..." He paused in the middle of his words. With the lessons learned from the past, he now knew to leave room for himself, and then continued, "If it's something else, I can still consider it and try my best to satisfy you."
Meng Jinyao insisted: "But I want this."
Gu Jingxi refused to give in: "No."
Meng Jinyao sighed again and pretended to be puzzled: "This is strange, didn't you like it before? Why are you so resistant now?"
Hearing this, Gu Jingxi was confused: "When did I have this habit?"
Meng Jinyao replied, "I heard from my mother that when you were young, you insisted on wearing your cousin's little skirt and dancing like a dancer. You even wore the skirt when you went out with your mother, and the young master from another family was so fascinated that he said he wanted to marry you when he grew up."
After hearing this, Gu Jingxi felt like thunder rolling in the sky, making his head buzz. His face changed, and finally he showed a look of despair. That was really his good mother, who actually told such an embarrassing thing to his wife. He no longer remembered that memory. Now that A Yao mentioned it, he tried hard to recall it, but he only vaguely remembered that there was such an incident. He had forgotten who the young master was.
Meng Jinyao admired his expression of despair, suppressed her laughter, and continued to tease, "What a pity, I heard from mother that the young master who said he wanted to marry you has now become your political enemy. I wonder if he still remembered the vows he made to you when he quarreled with you in the court."
Political enemy?
Gu Jingxi's face froze again. He searched for a suitable candidate in his mind and soon thought of the fat and chubby Lord Hu from the Ministry of Justice. He instantly wilted. He just hoped that the other party didn't remember such a past incident. Otherwise, next time they had a quarrel, he would make fun of him about it afterwards and he would be too ashamed to face anyone.
Seeing this, Meng Jinyao knew that he remembered this matter, and also remembered which family the young master was from. When her mother-in-law told her the gossip, she didn't ask in detail. Now the gossip came back, and she asked curiously: "Husband, which family is the young master from? Will he be handsome when he grows up?"
For the first time, Gu Jingxi didn't want his memory to be too good. He could still remember such an embarrassing thing after so many years. Now, that person is a political enemy. He will meet him every time at the court meeting. He is afraid that he will never forget it in his life. He closed his eyes, not wanting to answer, and refused to answer. He avoided the question: "Ayao, in front of your husband, you pay attention to whether other people's husbands are handsome or not. Aren't you afraid that your husband will be jealous?"
Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "My husband won't do that, because in his wife's heart, he is the most handsome man in the world, and other men are mediocre."
Gu Jingxi said, "No, he will. He is stingy and jealous. He is an absolute jealous man. So you must never mention other men in front of him. Be careful that he will get angry with you."
Meng Jinyao snorted twice: "Well, just forget it if you don't tell me. I'll go home and ask my mother. She will definitely tell me."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Jingxi's heart was alarmed. If she asked him to go back and ask her mother, what would happen? Maybe his mother, who always cheated her son, would get excited and tell A Yao two more embarrassing things about him in the past. He hurriedly said, "Don't, don't go."
Meng Jinyao would not let him off: "You said you don't want to go, so why don't you go? I'm going anyway."
"Little ancestor, can't I tell you?" Gu Jingxi sighed helplessly, hugged her into his arms again, met her urging eyes, and said reluctantly, "It's not pretty, it's crooked."
Meng Jinyao asked again: "Was he good-looking when he was a child?"
Gu Jingxi replied: "I don't remember, but I didn't seem to be fat when I was a child, but I am fat now."
Meng Jinyao nodded and whispered softly, "Then I'll go back and find out who among your political enemies are fat."
Gu Jingxi: "..."
The past is too hard to recall, but the two most important women in his life will help him remember it well. If time could go back, he would definitely erase some of the things he did in the past so that such embarrassing things would never happen.
Meng Jinyao raised her hands and held his handsome face, looking expectant: "Husband, will you wear a skirt and dance for me tonight?"
Gu Jingxi once again ruthlessly rejected her: "No, it's impossible, don't even think about it."
"You're so stingy. You can't even take a look." Meng Jinyao put down her hands, curled her lips and snorted.
Gu Jingxi suddenly had an idea. He thought of his own chubby son whom he had raised for several months. It was time for him to show his filial piety. With the idea that a friend would rather die than be killed, he gently coaxed her, "Ayao, I can't wear it for you, but you can let my son wear it for you. The son pays for the father's debt. If I owe you, why don't you ask my son to pay it back?"
Meng Jinyao felt that what he said made sense, and was immediately confused by him. She thought about making two sets of small skirts for Wanwan, which would be nice to see. Children are best coaxed when they are young and don't know anything. It's better to do it as early as possible, when Wanwan's hair is longer and can be tied into two small braids.
Poor little Wanwan was sold by his father without knowing anything. Thanks to his good father, he had a dark history in the future.
Gu Jingxi saw that Ayao seemed to have listened to him, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally escaped a disaster. Hearing the shouts of the shop assistants outside, he took this opportunity to change the subject, lest Ayao would come to his senses and pester him again. By then, he was really afraid that he would not be able to resist Ayao's soft and hard persuasion and agree, so he said: "Ayao, the street is very lively, why don't we go down and take a walk to see if there is anything we like."
Meng Jinyao also became interested, nodded in response, told the coachman to stop the carriage, and then went downstairs with Gu Jingxi for a walk.
After getting off the carriage, Gu Jingxi did not mention anything that happened before and took her to visit rouge shop, jewelry shop, pastry shop, and spice shop. After being with A Yao for so long, he also figured out some tricks. These are the places that are easiest to attract women's attention. If one shop is not enough, then visit a few more and buy a few more items. Then she can forget about everything else.
