Chapter 4: Thick or Light Shadows (5)

"Eighth Sister doesn't know how to pick this out." Jingyi said. This should be the clothes that were packed out to be taken away, and they were hung on the outermost part of the closet, and Zhifeng was the most impatient, so she might not be patient to find it for her. "Is it ugly?" She tugged at the hem of her skirt, and even if it was ugly at this time, it was too late to change it.

"How can it be ugly." Du Shi smiled very satisfied and said, "You wear a little plain clothes on weekdays." Your sisters' clothes are all made in triplicate, and they are purple and red all day long, but you refuse to be bright. When I look at it today, I know it must not be yours who picked it yourself. It's good-looking, I love to see you dressed brightly. Du Shi said, and gathered the hair ornament on his head for Jingyi, more satisfied.

Zhishen couldn't help but laugh and didn't say anything more.

When he got out of the car, he whispered to Jingyi: "When you enter the theater, you must be careful, don't let people accidentally think that you are going to go on stage." Look at you, this diamond is shining and has caught up with Boss Cheng's line. ”

Jing Yi stretched out her hand angrily to be cautious, and when she saw Du Shi's strange eyes, she only took the handbag and made a gesture, took Du Shi's arm to help her, and said, "Mother, let's go, ignore the ninth brother." Mae"

"The old nine and ten have been like twins since they were children." The third lady laughed.

Du Shi smiled.

Several streets near Kong's house have been laid out in advance, with patrolmen and plainclothes patrolling the neighborhood. The electric lights were pulled out into the street, and the lights were as bright as day. Cars and carriages came one after another, and there was a messenger in front of the door to direct them to stop at a suitable place.

"It's like a city." Zhishen smiled and said, "Even the sour plum soup seller is here." ”

Jingyi looked at it, but many of the small businesses in this neighborhood took the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the job. Among them, there was an old man selling flowers, and the car was crowded with flowers of all colors, and it seemed that he could smell the fragrance from afar...... At this time, the receptionist of the Kong family had already seen the Cheng family's car coming, and was busy inviting the wives and ladies of the Cheng family inside. Jing Yi saw the old man selling flowers, stopped slightly, and whispered a few words to Du Shi.

"Go ahead. Come quickly. Duch smiled.

Jingyi ran to the old man's car and told the old man that he wanted a new flower ball. She looked at the willow baskets on the car neatly arranged, and there were many seasonal flowers in summer. There is nothing precious. Seeing the neat gardenias, she took a closer look, and the flowers were all delicate. If it weren't for the white flowers, she would have liked to buy a handful and bring them in. She picked a beautiful flower ball, paid for it, and when she was about to leave, the old man took a small bunch of white orchids from the shelf and gave it to her, saying that it was a gift. Jingyi didn't want to take it, but seeing that the white orchid was fragrant and very cute, it was a withering fate when it hung for a long time in this hot summer night, so she took it, but insisted on giving money, and took out a few bits and pieces of money to the old man. The old man didn't accept it, and said with a smile: "Miss also likes flowers, so I'll give it to you." ”

Jing Yifang nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you so much." ”

Zhishen shouted at the gate to hurry up, and she thanked her again and left. When I walked over, I saw a young man in a suit standing next to Zhishen, and when I saw her, I greeted her with a smile: "Sister Ten is here." ”

It is Kong Yuanxuan's younger brother Yuanda.

"I haven't seen you for a while, but I've grown a lot taller." Jingyi looked at him and asked, "What about Yuanyao?" Can it come out? ”

"After coming out for a while, I entertained a few female guests for my mother, and I said that I had a headache, and I don't know where to rest at this time. Sister Ten misses her, I'll find her for you later. Yuanda said and invited the Cheng brothers and sisters to enter the door.

Jingyi looked at the inside of this door, which was naturally different from the outside. Yuanda is telling Zhi Shen that Brother Dongyuan is here, and the dance party has not started yet; The hall will play in the West Garden--there are many guests, the house is bustling, and the shuttle-like servants are trotting to deal with errands--"Mother went to the West Garden? No wonder Yuan Yao said that he had a headache, and I panicked when I saw so many people. Jingyi said.

"Aunt Cheng just told my mother that our family's hall opera in Beiping City is second to none. My mother said it was all because my father loved it. He also writes plays and ticket plays by himself, and he knows many people in the pear orchard line, and the family will respond to all the calls, and all the people who come are big names. My mother also said that Aunt Cheng would treat her another day, and the theater in your house is the first-class in the private house in Beijing. "Yuanda is young, but his speech is very measured.

Jingyi smiled and said cautiously: "It's a pity that my father doesn't like these, and he has to frown when he hears anyone say that he will watch a play." I remember that there was also a theater in that house in the past, which was demolished by my father. This time, I didn't demolish the theater in Qingyuan, I'm afraid I was busy and didn't think about it. Partial, we have the most fans in our family. ”

As they spoke, they went to the West Garden. The play has already started, and the ladies and ladies are already seated. The main event didn't start. Mrs. Cheng and the others were still chatting with Mrs. Kong in the room. Jingyi and Zhi cautiously went in and gave Mrs. Kong a birthday greeting. Mrs. Kong was very happy to look at the festive Jingyi who was wearing it, and gave her and Zhishen a big red envelope. Seeing the flower in Jingyi's hand, he asked with a smile, "This is not for me, is it?" ”

Jingyi smiled and put the festively colored flower ball on the table in front of Mrs. Kong, and said, "When I saw it in front of the door, I loved it for a while, and I remembered that my sister Yuanyao loved this, so I gave her to play." ”

Mrs. Kong smiled and nodded, picked up the flower ball, and said, "I love it too, give it to me." ”

Jing Yi smiled.

"Why didn't your mother come?" Mrs. Kong asked Jingyi with a smile and returned the flower bulb to her.

Jingyi took it and said, "My mother has not been very happy for days. She said I'll come back in a few days to say hello. ”

"I'll go see her in a few days." Mrs. Kong smiled and turned her face to Du Shi and said, "You have moved to a new residence, I have to go and have a good look." The last time I went back to play cards at your place was two months ago. ”

"I've just settled down, and when I'm done, I'll invite you to go shopping in the next post." Du Shi said with a smile.

"I won't wait for you to post, I'll go after a few days."

"And our aunt has a temper, urgent." Du Shi said with a smile.

"Speaking of your aunt's wife, she hasn't come yet." Mrs. Kong smiled.

Du Shi looked at her and smiled. In addition to the daughters of the Cheng family, there are also outsiders around, and it is inconvenient for her to say what she wants to say. Mrs. Kong also understands people, waved her hand, and said, "Don't worry, the good show is still to come, just catch up." ”

"Our aunt is also a play-loving person, especially Boss Cheng's play. I heard tonight that Boss Cheng and Donghuang sang the finale, so why do you have to be addicted to drama? Look, in less than a quarter of an hour, our aunt will come. Du said with a smile.

Jingyi thought to herself, Aunt Shang might not be able to come tonight. As soon as she entered the door, she heard the usher behind her say that the Huang family's car was coming, I don't know if it was Huang Yu, the minister to the UK? If Huang Yu comes with her daughter again, then tonight, she will be able to meet the well-known Miss Huang Jenny Huang, what kind of romantic person should she be...... While she was pondering, she saw someone come in and report to Mrs. Kong that Mrs. Huang and Miss Huang had arrived.

Mrs. Kong said please come in, and said to Du Shi, "This is the time to speak." ”

Jingyi was about to wait to see, but she was pulled by someone, and when she turned around, it was Qiu Wei, pointing behind her, she looked over, and there was a figure on the screen behind her. She recognized it as Kong Yuanyao and beckoned her to come over. She nodded, asked Qiu Wei to go over and talk to Du's mother, and walked back quietly.

Bypassing the screen and not seeing Yuanyao's shadow, she took two steps and called softly, "Yuanyao? As he walked, he entered the back room, a richly furnished inner hall. Jingyi walked in, but still didn't see far away, so she stood down, and suddenly heard Gege's laughter, outside. She carried the flower ball, walked through the inner hall and went out of the door, and sure enough, in the pavilion outside, Kong Yuanyao was standing there, chatting with Zhi Shen Yuanda, and she smiled and said, "Okay, when did you come here quietly?" I'll be left there alone. ”

Kong Yuanyao smiled, came over and pulled her, and said, "You are the only one who is there in order, I didn't see you seven young ladies and eight young ladies, didn't you go to the East Garden to dance before you had time to stand firm?" Seeing that you are pitiful, I will take advantage of the chaos and call you out too. Hey, this flower ball is so beautiful! She said that she was going to take it with a smile, and Jingyi hid the flower ball behind her.

"Not for you." Jingyi smiled.

"Or give it to me, you can get another flower ball in this line today, and then sit in the theater building, and then you will go to the theater - sing a hydrangea throw?" Yuanyao joked about Jingyi.

Zhishen and Yuanda both laughed uncontrollably.

Jingyi said fiercely: "You can make fun of me." ”

"Angry?" Yuan Yao carried the flower ball, climbed her shoulder, and said, "It's rare to see you wearing such a grand outfit, it must have been specially worn for my mother's birthday - you see that I am not like this today, if I don't wear it like this, although my mother will not say anything, my grandmother will have to talk about it for many days." ”

Jing Yi saw Yuanyao dressed in a jujube red dress and couldn't help laughing.

Zhishen said: "You two are good together, red and green, you can't see enough." ”

"You just say we're dirt." Yuan Yao said with a smile, pulled Jingyi with one hand, and said, "I guess you want to accompany you to watch the show, let's go to the East Garden in a while-the eldest brother is over there to greet the guests, and the younger ones and fun-loving ones are all running there." But today's hall will also be good-looking, but Boss Cheng can't seem to come. ”

"Why?" Jingyi asked.

"Boss Cheng has been walking eagles all his life, which makes the eagle look at it. His team was pried on. Zhishen said, "When I heard that there was him today, I thought I might be able to come." Sure enough, right? ”
