The city of Lanzhou is still lively on a snowy night, and Jingyi looks at this city full of fireworks through the gap in the car window...... The car slowly drove into an alley and stopped. She got out of the car and looked up to see that it was a small mansion. There are no plaques, and the black-lacquered gate is not magnificent, but the soldiers standing guard at the gate are solemn, and you can see that this place is heavily guarded at a glance.

Ma Xingjian asked Jingyi to enter the door, explaining that this was Qishao's private residence, and asked Qishao's grandmother to suppress the shock here for the time being, and then go to the old mansion to meet him. There are already doctors waiting inside...... Although Jingyi felt that it was inappropriate, thinking that her hair was stained with blood, it was really inconvenient to enter the door of the Tao family like this. Tao Xiang should also have considered this floor, so he arranged for her to stay here temporarily. She didn't object at the moment.

When she entered the door, she glanced at the bronze plaque next to the door, which read: Tao Yu, No. 7 Copper Lion Lane.

I don't know why she looked at this line of words, and there was something strange in her heart. She stood at the doorway and looked at the house, the dark and dark courtyard solemn. The sound of the guards raising their guns and saluting was a little harsh to her at the moment.

Her steps slowed down.

"Didn't my uncle say, are we going to live at home......" Qiu Wei whispered, looking around, "Also, what does my uncle want such a big private mansion for?" ”

Jingyi glanced at her and didn't make a sound.

Qiu Wei shut up.

"Seven young people have more friends, and there are many things. It's not convenient or safe to gather outside from time to time. This was originally the property of the Tao family's four aunts and grandmothers, and the four aunts and grandmothers were in charge and transferred to the seven young people. Ma Xingjian explained in a low voice.

Jingyi said with a pleasant face: "Got it." ”

Ma Xingjian is the person next to him, and he explains it for him like this, and there are traces without traces. It's nothing more than a fear that she will be too careful. Actually, what does she have so much heart?

"You go in first and have some food. Everything is in place here. The doctor has also arrived. If you feel unwell somewhat, ask your doctor to check it out......"

"Adjutant Ma!" The messenger on the door chased in and stopped Ma Xingjian.

"Go ahead." Jingyi walked slowly.

Although in the snow, she could still see that there was a big difference between this house and the Beijing-style courtyard layout she was used to, and it seemed that she would get lost if she was not careful, so she had to pay attention everywhere.

Soon, Ma Xingjian hurried back and reported to Jingyi: "Young grandmother, the second manager of the old mansion Luo is ordered by his wife to take the young grandmother back to the house. ”

Jingyi was shocked when she heard Ma Xingjian say this.

"Qi Shao had already discussed this matter with his wife earlier, but for some reason his wife suddenly changed her mind." Obviously, this was also unexpected by Ma Xingjian, he said: "At this time, the seventh young man should go to the headquarters." Young grandma, I will shake the phone to Qi Shao, and ask Qi Shao and his wife to explain. ”

Jingyi pondered for a moment and said, "Since Mrs. has a life, it's okay for me to go over." ”

She looked at herself, and it was of course rude to see Mrs. Tao in this dress. It's just that there is a reason for it, since it was Mrs. Tao who asked her to go over, presumably she would not be surprised.

Jingyi made up her mind and walked out.

Qiu Wei hurriedly helped her.

Sure enough, there was a crowd of people waiting outside, led by a thin man in his fifties wearing a black robe and a mink hat, saw her, hurriedly bowed down, and said, "Yizheng greets the seventh young grandmother." Grandma Qishao has worked hard all the way. ”

"Mr. Luo doesn't have to be polite. Did Madame ask the steward to come? Jingyi asked.

The lantern hanging in front of the house swayed in the breeze, and she looked at Luo Yizheng.

"Yes. When Madame heard that Grandma Qishao had arrived, she asked me to quickly take Grandma Qishao back. Mrs. said that there had been no one living here for a long time, and the house was cold, and she was afraid that the young grandmother would be sick. Luo Yizheng said.

"Let's lead the way." Jingyi said, walking down the steps.

Luo Yizheng personally opened the car door for her.

Jingyi and Qiu Wei got into the car they were in when they came, and Ma Xingjian accompanied them.

"Zhixin has someone to take care of you, right?" Jing Yi thought about it and asked.

Ma Xingjian nodded and said, "It has been sent to the provincial hospital." Miss Cersei was there too. There is a special person to take care of it, so the young grandmother does not have to worry too much. ”

Jingyi looked at him.

Ma Xingjian is doing things safely, she should always be at ease.

When Ma Xingjian got out of the car, he said, "Young grandmother, Qishao will come over soon." I can't enter the inner house without my life, so someone will tell me something. I'm on call at the errand room outside the second gate. ”

Jing Yi felt that what he said was a little strange, and Luo Yi was waiting in front to take her in to see Mrs. Tao, so she had no choice but to nod.

Ma Xingjian saw that Jingyi's master and servant were walking in with Luo Yizheng, surrounded by slaves in front and behind, and the snowflakes falling were like a thin gauze curtain, making the figures of the two of them a little indistinguishable. But Luo Yizheng did not take them to the direction of Mingxuan Hall in the upper room, but turned to the east, and Ma Xingjian suddenly chuckled in his heart - only then did he realize that there was no one waiting to come out of the inner house. He turned around and saw a messenger coming out of it, and he hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Dong, Brother Dong, just saw Manager Luo go in, right?" Where is he going? ”

"Adjutant Ma?" Brother Dong saw that it was him, and came over and said, "It looks like I'm going to Luo Rui Hall...... Is there anything wrong with Adjutant Ma? ”

When Ma Xingjian heard the three words of Luo Ruitang, he immediately slapped his forehead and shouted in a low voice: "It's bad." ”

Brother Dong looked at him inexplicably and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ma Xingjian asked again: "Is Madame at home?" ”

"Madame went to visit Miss Sun in the hospital after dinner, and she hasn't come back yet. Miss Gangba also said that there are ten cars in the family today, and there is nine out of ten, and there is one left that has to be on standby at any time and cannot be used casually, so she can't go out to buy supper for the old lady......" Brother Dong said with a smile, "Adjutant Ma, why are you asking this?" ”

Ma Xingjian said: "Brother Dong, go in and see if Miss Eight is there, and tell Miss Eight for me that the things she asked for before were bought back by Qi Shao." Ask her if she wants it now, or another day? Ma Xingjian said, while taking out a small notebook from his jacket pocket, took out a tap pen and wrote a few lines on it, folded it and handed it to Brother Dong, "Give this to Miss Eight." ”

"Okay." Brother Dong ran in.

Ma Xingjian and the other figures of Brother Dong disappeared into the door, turned around and hurriedly walked out......

Over there, Jingyi followed Luo Yizheng through several doors.

The Tao family's house was layered on top of each other, and they walked through narrow alleys, entering from one courtyard to another. The walls of the courtyard are extremely high, and when you walk, you can only feel the wind spiraling against the ground. Along the way, although Luo Yizheng said a sentence or two from time to time to remind them where they had gone in front of them, in fact, they had no idea at all. I just feel that from one yard to another, the chain is very tight. Two servants in the front and back carried glass lamps to illuminate the road under their feet...... The more Jingyi walked, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Luo Yizheng said that he took them to see Mrs. Tao, and since they entered the Tao family, there were no women in the inner house who came out to greet them, not to mention that the location they were in at this time was obviously very remote - Mrs. Tao's residence, how could it be in such a remote location?

Qiu Wei, who was following Jing Yi's side, couldn't help but ask at this time: "Miss, why do you see that this is going farther and farther, is this a garden?" It's not like that...... May I ask Mr. Luo, where is this? How far is it going? ”

Luo Yizheng saw Qiu Wei asking, and hurriedly said, "It's coming soon, don't worry, girl...... Seventh young grandmother, this is it. ”

Jingyi looked up, and in front of them was a tall gatehouse. She just wanted to see the plaque on the gatehouse, when the door opened, the two mothers-in-law came out with lanterns, and opened their mouths to ask, "Manager Luo, is the seventh young grandmother here?" ”

Luo Yizheng agreed, stood aside and respectfully asked Jingyi to go inside. The two mothers-in-law led the way. There was thick snow in the yard and it was inconvenient to walk, so the mother-in-law led Jingyi along the porch to the upper room. There is a white lantern hanging under the porch, and the shadow of the lamp is dim, only a section of the road under your feet can be seen.

Jingyi followed and didn't ask.

Luo Yizheng sent her here and has already retired.

Jingyi looked back, just in time to see the door creak shut...... The whole courtyard was black, and in the distance I could only see the lanterns on the porch and the two strings of sheep's horn lamps hanging in the main house.

"Seventh young grandmother, watch your step." Walking to the front of the steps, a mother-in-law stood down and turned on the light, and a mother-in-law led the way in front.

There were two girls standing at the door of the main room, and when they saw them, they had already raised the curtains.

Jingyi stood in front of the stairs and looked out—the steps were high, and the door was high, and for no reason it made people feel a sense of oppression—she lifted her cloak and climbed the stairs.

"Grandma Seven is here." The girl in front of the door raised the curtains.

Jingyi walked into the room.

The heat hit her face, and she stood still, and was stunned for a moment.

There was only one light on in the main room, and Jing Yi's eyes needed to get used to it for a while before they could see the furnishings in the room clearly - except for a simple table and chairs, there was a large charcoal basin in the room, and a red charcoal fire was lit to make the room warm.

It's just that this room is big and dark, and people can't help but feel empty when they walk in.

Jingyi stood still, looking left and right.

In addition to her and Qiu Wei, it is the two mothers-in-law and two girls. The door was closed behind them.

Jingyi turned around and asked, "What about Madame?" ”

The mother-in-law was silent, only came over to stand in front of Jingyi, and said, "Seventh Young Grandma, we are also acting on orders, please don't be surprised." ”

"What are you going to do?" Qiu Wei reacted very quickly, and when she saw that they were acting strangely, she asked sharply.

"Examine the seventh young grandmother." Although the woman's voice was low, she could also speak these words clearly.

Jing Yi only felt a buzzing in her ears.
