Chapter 6: The Sea of Sinking and Floating (17)
    Jingyi was then engrossed in watching her third brother and Miss Suo, her second cousins Wufang and Jin Biquan, and her second cousins Wujian and Kong Yuanxuan. The three pairs of newcomers entered the stadium for the first time, and the appearance of each pair could set off a small high tide and thunderous applause. Jingyi applauded with everyone, and when she saw Wujian passing by her, she turned her face and smiled at her - under the veil as thin as a cicada's wings, the eyes of the third cousin were full of happy starlight, which could not be covered - she also smiled and waved at Wuji.
    The officiant waits for the newlyweds to take their seats, and after a short speech, leads them to take the vows.
    The newlyweds solemnly swore to love each other for a lifetime under the witness of everyone.
    Because the matchmaker of today's wedding is the former prime minister, and the officiant is the current mayor, in addition to the oath of the newlyweds, there are also their short speeches. The theme of the speech naturally first blessed the newcomers with their eyebrows raised and grew old together, and secondly, praised them for their exemplary role in advocating the new civilization.
    The ceremony ended, and a couple walked out of the auditorium along the red carpet. There were many people gathered outside to watch the excitement, and at the front of the crowd were reporters from major newspapers. The magnesium lights in the hands of the photojournalists kept flashing, white smoke rose in puffs, and their cameras followed Cheng Zhichen and Suo Yan, who were walking in the forefront, step by step.
    Cheng Zhichen hugged Suo Yanlin, who was dragging the ground in a long skirt, walked to the bottom of the high steps outside the auditorium and stood on the edge of the high, and generously let the reporters take pictures. Later, the other newcomers stood in their respective positions and lined up in spectacular rows, the white smoke of the magnesium lights was like a cloud, and the sound of "bang bang bang" was mixed with cheers and applause, which was very lively.
    Suddenly, petals fell from the sky, raindrops fluttered, but like flames ignited the enthusiasm of the onlookers, and the cheers rose wave after wave......
    Jingyi followed Wan Wei out of the auditorium, just to see this beautiful scene like a goddess scattering flowers.
    Just as she looked up, she suddenly felt dizzy. She didn't have time to hold Wan's hand, she hurriedly took two steps back to the side, and touched the heavy door of the auditorium, and her eyes turned black...... She only heard the chaotic footsteps around her, and suddenly a sharp whistling sound pierced her eardrums, and then for a while, she couldn't hear anything. The only remaining bit of consciousness is that the wood in my hand has become soft and warm......
    When she regained consciousness, she found herself sitting on a wooden bench in the auditorium, and closest to her was her mother's face, full of anxiety. Seeing that she was more sober, he was still rubbing her earlobe. She turned her head a little dazed and looked around, and there was Tao Xiang...... Both of them are in black suits, and the black ones make people look depressed. His face was still normal, and he couldn't see anything. Seeing her coming, Zhixi took a step back, and was covered by Tao Xiang's body.
    Jingyi frowned.
    "Is it better?" Wan Wei grabbed Jing Yi's hand and asked worriedly.
    Jingyi touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a reluctant smile: "I was suddenly flustered and out of breath just now." β
     Last night, I was flawless and innocent, and I almost didn't sleep all night. In the morning, I was in a hurry and only drank a mouthful of bird's nest porridge.
    No wonder the Celestial Maiden scattered flowers into her eyes and lost her consciousness.
    "You're freaking me. I walked half a step faster, and when I turned around, I didn't see you, and I hurriedly called out...... Thanks to the Seventh Young Master. Seventh Young Master, I have you to thank you. Wan Wei turned his head and said to Tao Xiang who was standing aside.
    "You're welcome. Tao Xiao said, looking at Jingyi. It should be that the body has not recovered well, in order to make the face look good, the lips are blue at this time, and the layer of rouge is like the fragrant ash on the white bun on the table...... It's hard to see and it's hard to see.
    Jingyi was looked at by him and didn't make a sound.
    Wanyu talked to Tao Xiang for a few words, and then asked Jingyi if she could go, and said, "We should go back." There are a lot of things going on at home today - the seventh young master can come to eat our third young master and the third young grandmother's happy bar later? β
    Tao Xiang nodded yes.
    He was scheduled to attend the dinner in Chengfu's evening.
    Although it is a simple wedding, the number of rituals and the banquet are still to be placed. The Kong family and the Jin family are guests of the banquet for three days, and the Cheng family has a banquet at noon and evening, and there is a dance party and a church meeting in the evening, which is extremely cumbersome. Because Cheng Zhichen and Suo Yan will leave for the south the day after tomorrow, there must be a lot of people who come to Chengfu's dinner tonight.
    "Please come and have a few more glasses of wine. Wan Wei smiled softly and looked at this noble and steady young man.
    " is. Tao Xiang nodded, "You please first." β
    "It's time to go back soon, they're all going home." Wan Wei said.
    Jingyi followed suit.
    The auditorium was almost completely empty, except for a few of them, only the workers were left to clean up the garbage left behind by the guests who watched the ceremony.
     walked out, and Jing Yi felt that her breathing was completely smooth.
    As she descended the steps, she took a deep breath and pressed her chest.
    Wanwei looked at her worriedly and said, "There are a lot of people in the auditorium, and the smell is mixed. When I get home, I'll go back to my room and rest. I told my wife that I wouldn't let you out at night. You're still weak, and you can't hold back the fuss. β
    "Mother, I was hungry just now." Don't worry, I've gone back to eat and saved up the energy to dance at night. Jingyi comforted Wanyi. Of course, she could hear the hesitation in her mother's tone, and she also knew that her mother had to take care of a lot of things today, and she couldn't even take care of the delicious food, let alone the church drama at night, and she couldn't sit down with her, and she couldn't watch it with peace of mind. After all, they are the hosts, and taking care of the guests is the most important thing. What's more, the dance party at home in the evening is held by the three families for the newlyweds, and there will be more guests than usual. It's the time to use people, how can she blindly hide?
    "If you're really willing to dance, I like it too." Wan Wei smiled, just in time to see the floats carrying the newlyweds lining up and leaving in order...... Looking at this festive scene full of flowers, she was a little empty in her heart, turned her head to look at her daughter beside her, and couldn't help but look back at Tao Xiang.
    Tao Xiang stepped forward and opened the car door for them.
    Wan invited Tao Xiang to walk with them.
    Jingyi sat beside her mother and shook her mother's hand.
    Tao declined, saying that his car was waiting.
    Wanwei didn't force him and let the driver drive away.
    Jingyi saw that her mother didn't speak for a long time, turned her face to look at her, and saw her mother frowning, stunned, and called: "Mother? β
    Wanshu frowned, patted her hand, and said, "I don't know how many days the Seventh Young Master can stay in Beiping this time?" I said that I couldn't come, but I didn't expect to come here on purpose. β
    Jingyi was silent for a moment before saying, "It's not necessarily for the third brother's wedding." β
    Wanwan looked at Jingyi, and Jingyi turned her face away.
    "It's not for this, what else? Wan Wei asked softly.
    Jingyi looked at Zhiyi sitting in front of her, only exposing her shoulders in a black suit, dull and gray...... She said, "Mother, I'm tired. β
     She said, leaning her head on Wan Wei's shoulder and closing her eyes.
    When I said this tired word, the strength I had just accumulated seemed to be scattered again.
    Wan Wei saw her like this and touched her neck......
     returned home, Wan Wei confessed to send Jingyi back to Xinglu, and went to the room by himself.
    Jingyi obeyed her mother's arrangement, quietly walked through the side door, detoured to a secluded place, and went back to her room to rest.
    There were only two old mothers left in the apricot house to guard the door, and even Qiu Wei was called to the front to do things.
    Jingyi returned to the room for a while, and someone came to bring her food. When I opened it, it should be the dish for today's luncheon, and I specially sent it to her, with more than 20 plates of dim sum in two food boxes. She looked out the window, went outside, and saw Zhixin sitting on a stone bench in the doorway, meditating with her eyes closed. He took off his suit and hung it on a nearby tree, wearing only a shirt and tieβit was a little funny to think of his usual glances.
    Jingyi screamed "Zhiyi".
     hurriedly got up.
    He forgot that he was sitting on the stone bench, and this one stood on the stone bench.
    Jingyi saw it, was stunned, and laughed.
    Zhichen saw her smile, got down from the stone bench in embarrassment, took his coat and put it on, and asked, "Miss Ten, what are your orders?" β
    " Take this to the back water pavilion. Jingyi pointed to the two food boxes on the table in the room, and said that she walked out first.
    Water Pavilion is in the backyard of Xinglu, built by water. Jingyi didn't walk quickly, and Zhiyi quickly caught up with the food box. The two walked along the porch, got off the bridge, and entered the water pavilion. Jingyi looked at the furnishings in the water pavilion, the stone tables and stone benches were replaced with winter cushions, and the glass windows also fell around to block the wind, and then you might as well watch the scenery.
    "Put it down. Jingyi said, "Take out all the food." That's enough for four or five people. β
     and so on, she looked at the endgame on the stone table next to her - I don't know when, she and her third brother were here. Before the chess game was over, the third brother left, so he left it here...... She watched quietly, and then listened to her and said, "Miss Ten, let's eat." β
     Jingyi sat down.
    A fragrant table of meals is mouth-watering.
    "Sit down. Jingyi reached out and lifted the food box, and sure enough, there was a pair of dishes and chopsticks inside, she took it out and put it on the table. When he saw that he was still standing with his hands down, he said, "Sit down, it's boring to eat alone." β
    "Miss Ten, this is not in order. Zhi Xi said.
    "What rules? You are the person next to the master, and it is said that it is not in accordance with the rules to come here on an errand. Sit down," Jingyi picked up the chopsticks and said gently, "If you don't want to eat, I won't eat either." β
     is silent.
    Jingyi really put down his chopsticks and waited for him.
    "Thank you, Miss Ten. Then he sat down.
    "Sit upright and eat. Jing Yi saw that he was sitting sideways and said.
     had no choice but to sit upright.
    The two of them ate slowly, except for the occasional sound of birds flying through the bamboo forest on the shore, there was only a little wind quietly.
    "Do you remember how old you were? Jingyi waited for Zhixi to put down the dishes and chopsticks, then put the chopsticks and asked. She handed him a handkerchief.
     Zhi answered, wiped his face sideways, and then said, "I don't remember much." β
    "I don't remember either. I just remember that you are different from others when you come, and no one else dares to provoke my ninth brother, you dare. Fighting with my ninth brother, the two of them were wrapped in twists on the ground, and they were both twisted in mud. You hit your head on the sharp horns, bleeding all over your face, and you opened your mouth to bite my ninth brother, almost biting off a piece of his flesh. As a result, my ninth brother was beaten and punished and knelt, and you were fine. Jingyi said as she asked the old woman who was guarding outside to come and clean up the table.
    "Father treats you the same as Brother Jiu. She stood up, and Zhiyan followed suit.
    Zhichen saw her walk to the chess table, not knowing what she was going to do, silently waiting for her to speak.
    "Will your father still let you play chess with him?" Jingyi asked.
    "The old man is busy, and now he rarely has time to play chess. Zhiyi didn't answer Jingyi's question directly.
    "My father said that it is best to learn chess before enlightenment. It is said that once a person reads, it is inevitable that his mind will be confined by the rules, and no matter how good he is at chess, he is limited, and it is difficult to become a national player. Despite this, our brother and sister are still not very talented. Jingyi said.
    " Miss is too modest. Young Master and Miss are not people who are willing to work this. Zhichen listened to her chess, and felt a little more relieved.
    "How about playing this game with me? Jingyi pointed to the chessboard.
    Zhichen wanted to refuse, but seeing that Jingyi had already chosen the side of the sunspot first, he had to sit down.
    Jingyi gestured and said, "It's your turn." β
     twisted the chess pieces, but didn't play for a long time.
    Jingyi took a chess piece in his hand and dropped it again. The pieces collide with a slight sound. She looked at it and asked, "What?" β
    Zhichen said: "Miss Ten, unless the sunspot makes a surprise move, the defeat is decided, it is better to ...... another"
    "How do you see that the defeat is decided? Jingyi looked at it.
    Zhixi was silent for a moment, pointed to the position in the northeast corner, and said: "From here, Baizi has the potential to slay dragons......" He said, dropped Baizi, raised his head again, and looked at Jingyi's dark and dull eyes, he said, "Miss Ten is by no means unable to see it, Zhiyi is playful." β
    "You said it, too, unless it's a surprise move. How can you see that I don't have a trick? Jingyi withdrew her gaze and landed on the chessboard.
    .
    Jingyi was engrossed in the chess piece on his fingertips, and it took a long time to install it in the northwest corner.
    's eyelids trembled slightly, twisting the white child.
    Jingyi said softly: "In this way, there is a down." β
