Chapter 14: The Rain Grows Stronger and Stronger (2)
"Go see Lin'er and rest." Tao Jun gestured to Fushun.
Fu Lizhen watched as he was pushed out of the door by Fushun. She cupped her forehead.
"Miss." Xiaobai helped her.
Fu Lizhen went in to see Qilin'er.
She sat on a stool next to her and looked at her sleeping son...... Gradually, his eyes became foggy.
She wiped the corners of her eyes, saw two photo albums stacked on the side, stunned, and asked, "Why is this here?" Da"
"The little master took it and looked at it. I don't know how he turned it over. The eldest young master decomposed with him for a long time. The nurse hurriedly replied.
Fu Lizhen held the photo book in her hand.
"The little young master also showed it to the seventh young grandmother." The nurse whispered.
Fu Lizhen turned her eyes to look at her sleeping son. There was a quiet smile on Qilin'er's thin little face. Apparently he was very happy before going to bed...... She touched the photo book and sighed.
β¦β¦
"Miss, will you bring a few more dresses?" Qiu Wei asked Jingyi.
After Jingyi came back, she was combing the white lion.
She took a broad-toothed horn comb, combed it intently, and said, "Hmm." β
"Miss?" Seeing that she was still lazy, Qiu Wei whispered to her, "Are you dizzy?" Hot? β
"Qiu Wei, go pack your bags. Bring a few more nice clothes for the young grandmother. Zhang's mother also whispered. When they saw Jingyi sitting there so quietly, they unconsciously lowered their voices.
"It's enough to wear." Jingyi patted the white lion and told it to leave.
After a while, she got up and found that Zhang's mother was wiping the phone on the small square table, but she seemed to be in a trance.
"Zhang's mother?" Jingyi called her and said quietly: "The rags have fallen to the ground." β
Zhang's mother lowered her head, and sure enough, the rag fell to the ground, and she was wiping the phone with her empty hands. She suddenly felt embarrassed, and her face was slightly red.
"Mom Zhang, are you on your mind these days?" Jingyi sat down and stayed closer to Zhang's mother.
"Nope." Zhang's mother picked up the rag. The rag is extremely clean, snow-white. She looked at Jingyi. This young master, the softer he speaks and looks careless, the more people feel that they should not be underestimated. She shook her head and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, I was in a trance." β
Jingyi said, "Then you can go and rest for a while." Come back at dinner. The Seventh Young Master will not come back for dinner tonight. β
Zhang's mother said, "No need, young grandma." How can this be. β
"Then why don't you talk to me for a while?" Jingyi said. She poured a glass of water, and when she saw Mama Zhang's hesitant look, she smiled, "Don't worry." I understand, I don't ask what I shouldn't know. β
When she said this, Zhang's mother felt even more embarrassed. Although Jingyi asked her to sit down, she wouldn't really sit down in front of Jingyi.
"We're not here for a while, don't be too restrained Yue'er. I went to see the grass beads every two days. Whoever asks, let him say what I commanded. I've talked to the old lady and the lady. Jingyi whispered.
Zhang's mother agreed. After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Young grandma, I went to Tan Yuan with my young grandmother to see the little young master that night, and I picked up something......
Jingyi watched her take something out from under her placket, and was stunned before taking it.
Zhang's mother was a little apprehensive and said, "I have been hiding this matter in my heart for several days, and I always feel that something is wrong." Let's talk to the young grandmother. In case ......"
Jingyi frowned, put away the small object, and said, "This is the ...... When I come back from Nanjing, I will visit it in detail. β
"Young grandma, if this is true, I'm afraid that young grandma will have to guard against it." Zhang's mother said.
Jingyi nodded.
Mother Zhang is not a person who tells the truth, if she didn't want to defend her, to be precise, the Seventh Young Master who wants to defend her, to be precise, I am afraid she will not make up her mind to say it.
"I'm measured." Jingyi said.
Zhang's mother breathed a sigh of relief.
It's strange that the seventh young grandmother is very young, and the young one seems to be weak and vulnerable. But when she said the word "measured", it made her feel that she must be sure.

On the morning of Eryi's graduation ceremony, Tao Xiang came back from outside to pick her up and go to the ceremony. Jingyi and Eryi were still at Mrs. Tao's place, not ready to go out. Tao Xiang took a walk in the yard with his grandmother.
It was still early, the weather was not hot, and Mrs. Tao was pacing leisurely and slowly.
The front yard of Xuanrui Hall is large, the shade of the trees is dense at this time, and the air in the early morning is clean, Tao Xiang feels relaxed and happy. He took a deep breath.
"You didn't come back last night?" Old Madam Tao asked.
Tao Xiang said: "It's too late, and I have to mobilize the people when I come back." It's more convenient on the seventh. He said it calmly. In the face of grandmother's inquiry, he had to be more calm. Although the old grandmother was standing under the plum tree, moving her old waist from side to side, she just asked casually...... The old grandmother's body is not flexible, but her eyes and mind are sharp.
"Sleep at the headquarters too late, that's your father's rule from the beginning. He's a little more leisurely now. I see him at home a lot. Mrs. Tao said, looking at Tao Xiang, "Raising a foreign house, staying in a foreign house, you can do it." Don't say that your two brothers didn't dare, even your father didn't come openly. β
Tao Xiang was silent.
"What's so bad about Jingyi? I think you want to stay away from her. Old Madam Tao asked.
Laughter rang out in the room, it was Eryi.
Tao Xiang saw a figure flashing at the door of the room, it was Eryi wearing a black robe.
"You fancy intestines, keep some. There are still ripples, and others don't think about it. Mrs. Tao said. The tone was still faint, without a hint of sternness.
Tao Xiang knew that this was a serious warning.
He didn't make a sound, just watched Er Yi jump out of the house, calling grandma and seventh brother, holding a square hat in his hand, and running happily...... It was Jingyi who came out with Eryi. The light and almost white pale green dress made her figure look plumper than usual, wearing a hat of the same color, holding two umbrellas in her hands, seeing him, her footsteps paused before coming down the steps.
Eryi took her grandmother and brother's arms and said, "What am I talking about?" Look at the seventh sister-in-law, isn't it going to be the focus of the audience today? What a hateful robe! β
Old Madam Tao glared at her with a smile, and also looked at Jing Yi who was walking towards them, and said, "Then it's too late to regret it now." You're not here today, and I'm short of someone to talk to. β
Jingyi heard what Er Yi said, and said with a smile: "Eighth sister just use me as a pawn." As she spoke, she lowered the mesh tulle from her hat, and her face was mostly obscured.
Er Yi took a breath and said, "Doesn't the seventh sister-in-law know that she still holds the pipa and half-covers her face, which makes people want to find out?" β
Jingyi sighed and said, "You are like this, I really don't know what to do." β
Er Yi was amused, glanced at Tao Xiang, and said, "I'm joking with you." β
"Let's go." Tao Xiang looked at the table below and said.
"Grandma, let's go." Er Yi followed Tao Xiang first.
Jing Yi walked at the end and looked back at Mrs. Tao.
Mrs. Tao smiled: "What, do you have anything to say?" β
Jingyi shook her head. Er Yi urged her in front, and she hurriedly answered and said, "Grandma, we'll be back soon." β
"It's hard to go out, so it's good for you to go shopping and come back. Don't worry about me. Old Madam Tao said with a smile. Know Jingyi's thoughts. When she got up early, she first said that she was here to confess. Because the birthday gift given to the second miss of the Fu family was mistaken, she actually took the meeting gift she gave...... She certainly didn't think it was a big deal. Tell Jingyi that it is better to give the things to Miss Fu Er. Such a small object, if she likes it in the future, she has it here, and she will pick it up and take it to the naughty ...... She watched Jingyi leave. Following behind the seventh and eighth children, a refreshing shadow that makes people's eyes feel inexplicably comfortable.
"Sister-in-law, are you smug again early in the morning?"
Old Madam Tao looked at the shadows at the gate and changed them to Tao Yinze sisters, it was Tao Yinrun who spoke, and couldn't help laughing: "I said, I was still Moon Palace Chang'e just now, why did I blink an eye and become a spider spirit...... Come on, come on, they're not home today, and I'm trying to get someone to invite you. The third sister is all well? β
Tao Yinrun said with a smile: "Let my sister-in-law worry, capital crime and capital crime." My sister-in-law doesn't care about it, but she will give me some benefits. I risked my life to save the Tao family's only seedling! Sister-in-law just asked, forget it? β
She said that the people had come closer, and Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you say, what benefits do you want?" β
When he said this, Tao Yinrun smiled first.
"It seems that you also know that you have gained a lot of benefits from ordinary people, so it's hard to speak, right?" Mrs. Tao made a joke about her sister-in-law, talking and walking.
After entering the house and sitting down, Tao Yinrun said, "Sister-in-law, I want to go to Shichuan to live for a while." β
Old Madam Tao didn't expect her to make this request.
"It's hot in the future, go there for the summer, it's cleaner." Tao Yinrun said.
Old Madam Tao looked at Tao Yinze.
is different from the eldest aunt, the third aunt and the fourth aunt came back mostly because they looked at the old sister, worrying about her old age and loneliness. In front of the aunt and her, these two sisters-in-law are actually more like daughters. Compared to her own daughter Sheng Chunlai, they are in front of them every day. They quarrel and quarrel and cause trouble, but in the end, their own sisters can't afford to care about it.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to Shichuan?" Old Madam Tao asked. Jin Xuan filled her with a hookah, she took it and let Tao Yinze go.
"When she went to enjoy the flowers this year, she had this thought." Mr. Toinze said, waving his hand to indicate that he would not smoke, "I think it's a good idea." Let her go and live for a while, and the fourth child will go too. These two are noisy personalities, think about it, how long can they stay in a place where rabbits don't poop and don't even have pear blossoms? I'm afraid I'll come back before I can wait for the pears to be born. β
Tao Inze spoke, and Tao Yinqing helped on the side.
Mrs. Tao just didn't say anything, and when Tao Yinrun saw her like this, she asked, "Sister-in-law?" β
"After a while, if you still want to go, go again. It doesn't matter how long you stay. Mrs. Tao said.
"What am I talking about?" Tao Inze smiled, "We really don't leave home." β
"At this time, let's stay at home." Mrs. Tao whispered, "Besides, let's play cards and listen to the drama in one place...... Ask the troupe to come to the house to sing. β
"It's time for Sheng Chuan to frown." Tao Yinrun was rejected, although it was expected, he was still a little melancholy. "He can't see the drama at home the most."
"You are his third aunt, and I am his mother. What do we do to get his consent? Not only does he have to start the play, but he also has to come and listen to it. Mrs. Tao smiled, "Do you want to throw the picker to her son, and he will enjoy leisure?" Where is it so cheap! β
Several old ladies laughed.
Tao Inze smiled: "It's a hard time for the seventh child below." I've heard that I've been going home less recently. β
"That's not all his hard life!" Tao Yinqing took a bowl of tea and said with a smile.
β¦β¦
Tao Xiang sneezed and took out a handkerchief to wipe his nose.
"Qishao caught a cold last night?" Cen Gaoying asked Ma Xingjian in a low voice.
Ma Xingjian didn't say anything, but Tu Huyi said: "Look at the sneezing, maybe who scolds Qishao behind his back...... Oops, why are you poking me? β
He glared at Ma Xingjian.
Cen Gaoying said a little helplessly: "Can you be careful?" Follow Qishao out, if you can't add color, forget it, don't lose your share. Look at you. β
Tu Huyi looked at Cen Gaoying and Ma Xingjian, as well as several other attendants, who were very well-dressed, wearing a three-piece suit of light linen and three-piece leather shoes, and wearing a top hat, unlike him, who came casually in a shirt and trousers, and said, "You will also say, come out with Qishao...... Coming out with Qi Shao is on a mission, dressed up so beautifully, what are you doing like a groom...... I don't have as much thought as you do. You are classmates who saw Miss Eight that day, and you know that there are many beautiful ladies here, so you came to see each other, right? Let me tell you, if you go around such a big circle, you might as well go and ask Qi Shao for a favor, and say who you have a crush on......"
Ma Xingjian just laughed, but Cen Gaoying glared at Tu Huyi a few times with hatred.
He wore glasses, as if it was a bit unimposing to stare through the lenses like this, so he took off his glasses and glared again.
Tu Huyi didn't react at first, and then he burst into laughter, clutching his stomach and almost falling to the ground...... Ma Xingjian hurriedly grabbed him and whispered, "I reminded you just now to be careful, you are going to be angry at such a young age." β
"Seven young people won't be angry about this." Although Tu Huyi said this, he still looked at Tao Xiang who was walking in front of him. Tao Xiang didn't seem to hear what they said at all, but Jing Yi beside him turned his head to look at a few of themβcompared to the heroic warriors of their usual uniforms, they were all more chic in casual clothes, and they were all personable young people...... Only the tiger wings, the hippie smiling face, don't take this occasion very seriously, but it's quite cute. She smiled and said, "I wonder if Eighth Sister's classmates like to dance?" I remember that Staff Officer Cen danced very well. β
As she said this, Tao Xiang glanced at her.
The veil hanging from the hat covered her face, and in the hazy way, only the general outline of her face could be seen, revealing a fair and delicate chin...... He thought she was smiling, and smiling a little...... Thief.
He also looked back at the attendants, and saw that they were restrained by him, and he didn't dare to look around.
Tu Huyi and the others, who had just been looked back by Jingyi like this, had already quieted down. Tao Xiang looked at them, but they felt nervous. When the receptionist in front of them invited them in, they had no time to laugh. Because he had received the report earlier, the receptionist informed him inside, and a vice principal came out to receive Tao Xiang and his party in person.
Cen Gaoying saw that Tao Xiang and his wife were talking to the vice principal, so he put on his glasses. In an instant, he returned to his Sven appearance, and followed behind with a smile. Tu Huyi said softly: "A reader is a reader, and his eyes are different from people." This time, Ma Xingjian really couldn't help it. He is usually a very introverted person, and it was already very hard to hold back his laughter, but Tu Huyi said these two words with a straight face, and for some reason it made people want to laugh even more. Tu Huyi was afraid that his laughter would attract Tao Xiang's attention, so he hurriedly pulled him to the side, and said as he walked: "Anyway, you are neither looking at people nor being looked at, come with me to the thatched house." β
Ma Xingjian really didn't have this mind, so he walked back with Tu Huyi, laughing and walking. Because on today's occasion, not only Tao Xianglai, but also many parents of graduates are also local leaders, so the vigilance inside and outside has been arranged a long time ago. Several of them were close attendants, and they were supposed to be close to each other. Ma Xingjian saw that Cen Gaoying and several attendants were there, and just as Cen Gaoying turned his head, he pointed in the direction of the latrine. Cen Gaoying nodded.
"It's true that a dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth, so you have to say it." Ma Xingjian chuckled lowly.
Tu Huyi rolled his eyes and said, "A sour talent like Lao Cen can only be sour and twist and pinch. If you want me to say, which one do you like, tie it back......"
Ma Xingjian smiled and said, "Tie it up, it's easy for you to say." Who does Dunhuang fancie, it doesn't mean that he will be tied up if he is tied up. β
"That's him. None of his brothers earlier was like this. Tu Huyi was in a hurry to run to the latrine, and Ma Xingjian walked slowly. Someone passed by and bumped into him, and the man said sorry and hurried away. Ma Xingjian took two steps and realized that something was wrong, and when he turned around, the man was gone. He frowned.
