Extra: "Sijun Across the Blue Sky" (25)
Quickly arrived at Du's house, Jingyi told the driver to drive slowly.
There were cards set up on the street, first from the police station, and then from the Du family. The Tao family's car often came and went, and they were not stopped when they passed the checkpoint. After passing the last checkpoint, you can already see the gate of the Du family.
The area where the Du Mansion is located is completely Western-style architecture. Du's house occupies half of the street here, and it is not like other houses, because Du Wenda has many wives and concubines, and four generations are in the same house, although the courtyards in Du's house are connected together, they are relatively independent. The garden, where the dance party is held, is usually semi-open, and the neighbors often come in for a walk. But today, because of the ball, the ribbon was pulled up early and outsiders were not allowed to enterβit was still early, and the people and cars serving the ball were already busy.
Jing Yi saw the colorful silk and lamps hanging on the garden wall from the car window. She didn't come to Du's house once to have some leisure to wander around the garden, and at this time, she saw the green carpet-like lawn in the vast garden and the tall pine trees with flags of all nations, and there was also a hint of relaxation and happiness...... The Du family's gardens are well maintained. This is especially true for lawns of all sizes. She remembered that a long time ago, Tao Xiang sat in the courtyard and watched her daughter run on the lawn......
Jingyi turned her face and looked at Suixin, who was clinging to the cardboard box with a beautiful silk bow, and touched her face.
Sui Xin looked up at her and smiled sweetly.
"What are you thinking?" Jingyi hugged her heart. The boy had been preparing to go out in the afternoon since he got up in the morning, and he was mysterious. It is said that this box was a gift she wanted to bring to Dunhuang, and when she asked her what it was, she refused to say.
"I'm wondering if Uncle Xiao will be angry with me...... In the past, when I was sick, Uncle Xiao came to see me every day. Then he whispered.
Jingyi thought for a moment and said, "No." Uncle Xiao's injuries need to be recuperated, so it's not easy to disturb. Besides, Uncle Xiao lives in Uncle Du's house, and he must abide by the rules of Uncle Du's house. If we come every day, we'll bother Uncle Du, right? β
"Oh." Sui Xin seems to understand whether she understands or not, but Jingyi said that Dunhuang needs to recuperate, and she understands. She pouted, "But Mom, I'm not going to disturb him...... Why doesn't Uncle Xiao live in his own house? Now his house can really raise spiders. β
Jing Yi laughed and rubbed her face.
Suixin's child's flower head was also messed up by her. Sui Xin shook his head in a good temper, sorted it out, and said, "Alas, Uncle Xiao must have a wife." β
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, almost laughing. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "We, we are really good at worrying about Uncle Lu's affairs." β
He frowned as if he disapproved of her words, and said, "Uncle Xiao said, I am like his daughter. Mom, I think Aunt Xiaomei is very good. β
Jingyi smiled and nodded, and before she could say anything, she asked in her heart, "Mom, will Aunt Xiaomei come tonight?" β
"Yes." Jingyi hugged her heart and replied. She likes and likes her daughter's thoughtfulness and kindness at a young age. And although Suixin is a childish idea, it is not unreasonable...... During the period when he was recuperating from his injuries, Xiaomei took care of him a lot. He moved here to recuperate, and the Mei family and the Du family have always had some disagreements, so of course it is inconvenient for Xiaomei to come to visit. But that day she came to visit, and Xiaomei also came...... Dunhuang's temperament is enthusiastic about everyone, especially women, who will never embarrass people in person, but only to Xiaomei, politeness is always polite.
Jingyi frowned slightly.
Then he looked at her and said, "Mom, it's here." β
Jingyi came back to her senses, and the car was already parked in the park. When she looked out, she saw Mrs. Du standing not far away, followed by a few people, all of them in snow-white poplin cheongsams, looking leisurely and quiet. The Du family's messenger came over and opened the car door, Jingyi got out of the car, and saw that Mrs. Tao's car had not yet driven in behind, so she smiled and took her heart over to greet Mrs. Du first.
Mrs. Du smiled, she was happy to see Jingyi, and she was even happier when she saw the lively and lovely Suixin who came with her.
Jingyi stood aside, watching Suixin talk to Mrs. Du very politely, and her heart was indescribably comfortable.
"I haven't seen it for a few days, I really want to die. Nan Nan will follow Aunt Du today and won't go anywhere, okay? Mrs. Du asked with a smile.
"Hmm...... But if someone asks me to dance, can I walk away for a while? Then he blinked.
When Mrs. Du heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and said again and again, "I just don't know who will invite our little princess to dance tonight?" β
"You kid, you really have ideas." Jingyi also said with a smile.
"If there is a woman like this, what more can the husband ask for? The old lady is here......" Mrs. Du took Suixin's hand and waited for Mrs. Tao to get out of the car.
Mrs. Tao got out of the car with the help of Qiu Wei and Zhang's mother, and said first: "I was greedy for the scenery in the garden, but the driver drove too far." Keeping you waiting. β
Mrs. Du hurriedly smiled and said, "Where, where, please come inside." Refreshments have already been prepared, so let's use them first. It's still early for dinner, and our old lady said that she personally supervises the cook to cook a few of your favorite dishes...... When the two of you chatted a few days ago, you said that there are no authentic Northwest restaurants in Shanghai, and they are all due to the lack of suitable ingredients. Our old lady took note. β
"Bothered." Mrs. Tao smiled and nodded, "When there is no war, those are rare here; Now that supplies are in short supply, some things are even more rare. β
Mrs. Du smiled and nodded yes, and invited them into the house.
The courtyard here is very quiet, and it is more peaceful and cooler when you enter the house.
With Mrs. Du came several of Du Wenda's aunts and wives, and after sitting with them for a while, Mrs. Du sent them away first.
"If you don't tell the province in advance, I really didn't let people leak out. It's time to take a nap. "There are only a few of them left, Mrs. Du said. After she finished speaking, she asked the maid to come over, and told her to shake the electric 61 words and ask the doctor of the military commander. "This yard is the most secluded and the best to retreat. Originally, I lived in this house, but I came here for two days, and I liked the wooden house behind me very much, and moved over. β
Jingyi smiled.
This Dunhuang, in his illness, I don't know if it's because everyone is extraordinarily tolerant and gentle to him, and he really comes more and more according to his own temperament.
"I'll go over and see him." Mrs. Tao said.
"He's going to have to move around every day now. The doctor is also there, so let him come to see the old lady. Mrs. Du said busily.
Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "What's the matter. β
"Mother, wait, there's no hurry. The recovery is good, and the movement is not a problem. Jingyi also said.
"Madam, the doctor said that Mr. Xiao slept lightly today, and he had already gotten up." The maid came back to report to Madame Du.
Jing Yi looked at the heart of the adults who had been sitting there and listening to the adults without saying a word, and then turned her eyes to look at herself, and smiled: "You are in a hurry to see Uncle Yan, right?" β
He nodded his head.
Mrs. Du smiled and said, "What a sensible child...... Okay, now you can see Uncle Xiao......"
Sui Xin nodded again, dragged Jingyi's hand, and said, "Mom, can I go over now?" β
Jing Yi looked at her big black and white eyes, and she really couldn't bear to refuse, so she turned to Mrs. Du and asked, "Is it okay?" β
"Why not? It's good to think of this place as your home. Mrs. Du smiled.
"Thank you, Aunt Du." Sui Xin slipped down from the wicker chair and picked up her beautiful cardboard box, "Grandma, I'll go see Uncle Xiao first." β
"Go, go, let's go, Uncle Xiao who is talking about you all over the world, I really know who loves you...... Jingyi, it's better for you to take her over. I can't keep up with my legs and feet. Mrs. Tao said.
"Yes, Mother." Jingyi got up.
Mrs. Du sent a maid to guide them in front, and looking at the way she walked in front of Jingyi with her sturdy little fat legs, she couldn't help but smile and said to Mrs. Tao: "Old lady, to tell me a joke, if it weren't for the fact that my own sons are much older, I really want to get close to your family...... I'm also joking, don't mind, old lady, we can't afford to climb the high school. β
"Where did that come from?" Mrs. Tao listened, smiled and took the teacup, and her eyes also followed Jingyi's mother and daughter out - Jingyi didn't know what to say to Suixin, the mother and daughter both smiled, and they could still see their extremely similar faces from a distance, and they were very ...... beautiful, "But the times are different, where are the parents still making decisions for their children?" She sighed.
Qiu Wei smiled on the side and brought her a snack to taste.
Mrs. Tao took it, looked at her, and said to Mrs. Du: "Even Qiu Wei and Jingyi refuse to force her to marry." β
Mrs. Du nodded and smiled: "I admire Jingyi very much. β
Mrs. Tao smiled, turned her head to see that Jingyi and Suixin had gone farther, and said, "It's hard for her to be patient." Now that she is bothered to do so many things, Mu Zhi can't take care of anything. β
"So the old lady should be more in love with her, right?" Mrs. Du joked with a smile. laughed for a while, and sighed: "Lao Du also said last night that Mu Zhi was acting secretly this time, but he really passed the door three times without entering." β
"Seen the province?" Mrs. Tao asked, getting up. Mrs. Du took her by the hand and walked back with her.
"I didn't see it. After leaving, I saw that Lao Du was not as usual, so he said when asked. Mrs. Du said.
They walked out.
The backyard was empty, and a cool breeze came.
Mrs. Tao looked up and looked at the corner of the courtyard, and the spire of the wooden house rose from among the trees......
Xiao Dunhuang slowly walked out of the wooden house and took a deep breath under the eaves.
The warm, moist smell mixed with the aroma of grass and wood made him feel refreshed.
He faintly heard a burst of laughter, which was very crisp and sounding.
I listened closely, but I couldn't hear it.
He scratched his feet - is this a nap and didn't sleep well, how does it sound like the voice of Tao Suixin's little devil......
