"Jingyi! Ripples! ”

……

Tao Xiang stood outside the door and waited. A layer of cigarette butts had fallen on the ground.

He looked down at the white lion lying beside him, which did not look like a living creature, and it seemed that it had not moved since he stood here...... But its little eyes looked at him, and swayed with his moving footsteps, shining with a timid, gentle light. Suddenly, his heart felt like a hand had been stretched out, stirring wildly, and he was already irritable, but now it was even more chaotic.

Upstairs was still quiet, the doctor came, and so did the mother.

All the people in the courtyard, except for his personal entourage, were gathered upstairs at this time. It's been a long time, and no one has come down to tell him what's going on up there...... Listening to the movement outside, Li Dalong reminded him, and he waved his hand.

Outside the courtyard gate came in was Chen Mahe, who was next to Mrs. Tao.

Tao Xiang thought that it was just Chen's mother coming, and he didn't want Chen's mother to be followed by a soft sedan chair. He was stunned for a moment, and Mother Chen said, "Seventh Young Master, you are here, the old lady has come to see Seventh Young Grandma." ”

Tao Xiang lost his cigarette butt and hurried over.

When he got closer, Chen's mother had already opened the sedan curtain, and he hurriedly bent over to help his grandmother.

Old Madam Tao looked at him, but pushed his arm away, came out to stare at him, and walked in silently.

"Grandma." Tao Xiang chased after him. The old lady's sharp gaze made him a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Tao had already received the notice, knowing that the old lady was coming, and hurriedly came down from upstairs, and saw Tao Xiang following the old lady, not daring to make a sound, she also hurriedly came over to pick up the old lady, and said, "Mother is in a hurry, right?" I'm thinking about having someone talk to my mother. ”

As she spoke, she gave Tao Xiang a look and asked him to stay aside. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tao saw it, so she said, "Mother, sit down first." The doctor is watching, and will come down in a moment. In my opinion...... it's not a big deal."

"In your opinion, these two children are fine, right?" Old Madam Tao leaned back on the sofa and said.

Mrs. Tao's face was suddenly a little unbearable when the old lady said a word, and she hurriedly said, "Mother, I know that your old man is in a hurry. If there is anything to blame, you can only blame me. It's that I didn't like them and let you worry about it. ”

"Grandma, you can't blame your mother." Tauran spoke softly. was stopped by Mrs. Tao, but still smiled and spoke to her grandmother, "As far as I know, the seventh child is already good." It's not that grandma doesn't know Jingyi's temperament......"

"Big sister." Tao Xiang spoke.

Er'an glanced at his iron-clad face and didn't say any more.

Mrs. Tao turned to Tao Xiang and asked, "What the hell is going on?" The family was waiting for Jingyi to come back, and they actually came back like this. It's the first time I've heard of a quarrel and a guy who went outside and moved! Old Seven, you guys are deliberately trying to toss me and lose another grandson, right? ”

Tao Xiang was stunned.

Seeing that he was stunned, Mrs. Tao whispered, "Jingyi is pregnant." It's been less than two months. Originally, the body was well recuperated, and the fetal phase was very stable. It's just that I'm tired these days, and I'm too excited today, so I faint. Lao Qi, you have to recuperate these days, you don't want to conflict with her again. In any case, she and the fetus are the most important at the moment. Everything else is on the back burner. ”

As she spoke, her tone became more and more serious.

Tao Xiang looked at his mother and raised his hand to press his forehead.

"I'll go up and see her." He said.

"She's just woken up, so it's better for you to go up and take a look. Don't let her get excited again. Mrs. Tao said.

Er An frowned and said, "It's better not to...... At this time, Jingyi looked at him, and he couldn't ......"

"Old Seven go up." Old Madam Tao spoke.

The string of Buddhist beads in her hand slammed into the armrest of the sofa.

Tao Xiang nodded, nodded with his mother and sister, and went upstairs.

Listening to his footsteps disappear completely, Old Lady Tao asked, "Nothing, right?" ”

Mrs. Tao shook her head and said, "I just won't speak." I don't want to ask. Maybe you can get better when you see Lao Qi? ”

"I'm in danger." Er'an disagreed. Seeing the old grandmother groaning, she couldn't help complaining, "Grandma, it's a shame for you to love her...... I said at the beginning, even if you are old and strong, don't force it. Twisted melons are not sweet. ”

Er An was very angry.

Mrs. Tao frowned, turned her eyes to look at her, and said, "Mother, don't blame me for speaking lightly or seriously. In my opinion, that's how it is. ”

"Alright." Old Madam Tao opened her mouth and said impatiently, "Shut up." Is this what matters now? ”

Mrs. Tao and Er An both stopped.

Old Madam Tao looked at her daughter-in-law and asked, "I listen to what you mean, Jingyi is pregnant, did you know about it earlier?" ”

Mrs. Tao pondered for a moment, knowing that she couldn't hide it from the old lady, so she said: "She was injured a while ago, and Dr. Zhao took the pulse and saw some signs, but she couldn't be sure." Always be careful with your medications. It was I who watched her condition and didn't let her make a noise. It would be nice to wait until it stabilizes. This time I went back to Nanjing, and I asked Zhang's mother to follow. I don't feel at ease when others go, Zhang's mother knows Lao Qi and Jingyi's heart in this house, and I know it even more. ”

Mrs. Tao said, and looked at Mama Zhang, who stood silently in the corner after looking down.

Er An took a breath and said in a lost voice: "Mother, you use this mind!" Jingyi knows, this ......"

"If she had made up her mind to give birth to the seventh child, I wouldn't have been so careful." Mrs. Tao said, "Besides, if she can't even take care of her own body, how can she protect her child well, and how can she protect her seventh child in the future?" ”

Seeing that his mother had this attitude, Er An stopped talking even though he didn't approve of it.

Seeing that they were all looking at her, Mrs. Tao waved her hand and said, "It's a shame that you are so attentive." What about Jingyi? Don't suspect yourself? ”

Mrs. Tao looked at Zhang's mother, and Zhang's mother said, "I'm also suspicious." The young grandmother's body has been conditioning, and she hasn't taken it too seriously to some abnormalities. These days I am in a bad mood, and I feel uncomfortable in Nanjing. The young grandmother wanted to come back later and let the doctor check it, but she didn't have time. ”

Mother Zhang didn't have time to say it, and Mrs. Tao and the others all understood what was going on, so they didn't ask.

The room was quiet, and everyone had their own thoughts, and no one made a sound for a while. This is obviously a great joy, but I can't tell what's wrong, and people can't be happy wholeheartedly.

It was Old Madam Tao who breathed a sigh of relief first, and the atmosphere relaxed slightly.

"Mother, this is a happy event. Congratulations to my mother on adding another great-grandson. Mrs. Tao said.

"I also congratulate you, you are going to be a grandmother again." Old Madam Tao smiled. She called Zhang's mother to come closer, "Zhang's mother come here." I have something to command you. ”

She carefully instructed Zhang's mother what to pay attention to these days.

She is already well-versed in medicine, and her advice is naturally unambiguous. Even Dr. Zhao, who had just come down, nodded his head when he heard it.

"Mom Zhang, you are an old man in the house, I don't need to say much about what to do. Taking care of the seventh young grandmother is a great achievement for you. Old Madam Tao said, let her go down. He raised his eyes and looked at Dr. Zhao and smiled, "I'm sorry for you, Dr. Zhao." I'm tired of you taking care of your granddaughter-in-law. ”

"Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the wife, the seventh young grandmother is fine, just take care of it these days. This is a great joy in the house. Doctor Zhao said busily.

"There hasn't been such a happy event in the family for many years, and it is indeed worth celebrating." Old Madam Tao's face was full of joy.

Dr. Zhao said a few more auspicious words and took his leave.

"Deguang, send Dr. Zhao out." Old Madam Tao said with a smile.

When the doctor left, Mrs. Tao looked at her face and asked, "Mother, should I go back here, or go up and have a look?" ”

Mrs. Tao waved her hand, looked at her daughter-in-law, and said, "You have to worry more about it in the future." These two little enemies have not stopped for a day. It's hard for you. ”

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Tao's heart warmed and said, "I just hope that they will be well." ”

"You go and get busy with yours. There are still a lot of things ahead, Sheng Chuan is waiting for news, right? Tell him to go. It's a good thing, and it makes him happy. Mrs. Tao said.

Mrs. Tao thought that the old lady must want to stay and talk to Jingyi in private, and she really wanted to go back and talk to her husband. She let Er'an stay, and she took the people to leave first.

Er'an accompanied her grandmother and beat her arm.

"Big girl," Old Madam Tao began.

"Yes, Grandma." Seeing that his grandmother had something to say, Er'an stopped his hand.

"You are also forty years old, and I have always thought that although you are quick-tempered, you are steady in trouble. This time I beat you back, and I think from the side that you have to sink a little more. Mrs. Tao said.

Er'an knew what his grandmother meant, and said softly, "Grandma taught me a lesson. But I've been holding these words in my heart for years. Seeing her tossing my brother, I couldn't sink it. Grandma, tell me, at this point, do you regret agreeing to approve of Lao Qi marrying this daughter-in-law? ”

Old Madam Tao was silent.

"Marry a wife and ask for a lady...... It's good no matter how she looks at it, but she can't stand it with such a temper...... If Lao Qi is softer, he will provide for her all day long. Lao Qibiao is not. He still carries such a heavy burden that he worries about her all day? Er An said, sighing softly, "Grandma, don't you feel sorry for Lao Qi?" ”

"How's the seventh?" Old Madam Tao didn't seem to listen, and asked instead.

Er'an listened to the movement upstairs and asked, "Let people go up and have a look?" Don't disagree again, what kind of moth will come out......"

Old Madam Tao glared at her.

Er'an laughed again, and after a while, he said, "To say, I just heard the doctor say that...... Grandma, do you know what is on my mind? ”

"What's the idea?" Old Madam Tao asked.

"With these two, how beautiful is the doll that is born?" Tao Eran laughed to himself as he spoke, and he was completely gone.

Mrs. Tao ......

Tao Xiang went upstairs, and after knocking on the door, Qiu Wei opened the door for him.

Qiu Wei said softly, "Uncle, Miss said ......" She looked at Tao Xiang's face.

Tao Xiang nodded.

I guessed that at this time, she must have said that she didn't want to see him.

But Qiu Wei didn't stop him, but said, "Uncle, go in and see Miss, let her take care of herself." Qiu Wei didn't know what to say...... Uncle, no matter what happens between you and Miss, for the sake of her being pregnant with a child, don't be angry with her. ”

She blushed. Hurriedly curted his knees and walked away.

Leaving Tao Xiang outside the door, he was stunned for a while before entering.

Jingyi was lying on the bed, and when she saw him come in, she didn't make a sound.

Her gaze was cold.

Tao Xiang came closer.

It's only been an hour since we met, but she seems to have run far away by this hour.

He sat down, reached out to take her hand, the cold hand, and did not withdraw.

She just looked at him. His hands were trembling, and I didn't know if I was afraid of him...... She was always a little afraid of him.

"Jingyi," he whispered. His gaze moved from her face to her, and she didn't move, letting him look at him. He looked at her.

"You get out." She said. There was a strong resistance in his eyes. As if she was being watched by him, she didn't want to.

His eyes were fixed.

Her face was very cold.

"I don't know if it's true." He spoke.

"This kid ...... It couldn't have come at a better time. She said.

"What did you say?" Tao Xiang looked at her.

"This kid didn't come at the right time." She repeated it in a low voice.

Tao Xiang still didn't seem to hear what she was saying, and stared at her, as if to discern her words. His hand tugged at her collar and asked in a low voice, "You mean, this kid, you don't want it again, do you?" ”

Jingyi's lips moved, but she didn't make a sound.

Tao Xiang's hands clenched tighter, and she had difficulty breathing, but she still didn't make a sound.

"It's okay if you don't want it. But I have to nod. He grimaced.

Jingyi looked at him, staring at his lips. It was as if every word that came out of his mouth was pumping her heart.

"Listen, you give me an honest upbringing. This kid has a little mistake, and you're ready to see how many people will bury him. His voice was low but as heavy as a hammer.

Jingyi gritted her teeth.

Tao Xiang watched her stubbornly hold back without crying or making a sound, and the anger in her heart was even stronger.

He let go of his hand and said, "If you are obedient, I may consider your request." ”

She handed it over in one breath and pressed it to her chest, her face turned from white to red, and it was still very ugly.

"Jingyi." He was dumbfounded.

"Don't push me." Jingyi finally said. She looked at him, "I knew it was like this, and I wouldn't have wanted to give you a baby...... You may just mention it casually, and it is not uncommon at all. You want to have a child, where is there no one who wants to give you a ...... If you are not rare, am I rare? What to do with me and this child, you have already decided. ”

She clutched the quilt. The soft silk was crumpled and crumpled under her hands.

Tao Xiang's face became more and more ugly.

Jingyi inhaled. Some words were blocked in his throat, and I wanted to ask him, but they were just there, and I couldn't get up. She felt like she was going to faint. She could see that he was getting angry, and she wondered if he would pull out the gun he was carrying and blow her in the head...... She thought that when she pulled out her gun and pointed it at him just now, he was so calm, she should know that she couldn't do it anyway.

He knew that she couldn't do anything to him, and he knew that her people and her heart were completely conquered for him...... He can play with a mouse like a cat, because he understands how the mouse escapes, and he can hold it down with one paw. So she was even more in pain at this time. I don't know whether to hate him or myself.

"You go out...... Get out! She reached out and pushed Tao Xiang.

Tao Xiangxin stood up.

A thin quilt covered her, and the lake-green silk was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and as she breathed gently, the mandarin ducks and lotus leaves also swayed gently...... He didn't say anything more and finally walked out.

Jingyi listened to his footsteps disappear and opened her eyes.

The door opened again, and the footsteps were very soft, and it was Qiu Wei coming. Qiu Wei didn't speak, looking at her. Her hand stretched out from under the quilt, and Qiu Wei held it. Qiu Wei blinked, tears rolled down, and said that Miss should take care...... She looked at Qiu Wei. This girl follows her these days, and although she doesn't say anything, she is always worried about her. She's defending her no matter what...... She raised her hand to wipe Qiu Wei's tears, and whispered: "Don't cry, I look forward to saying all day long that when I am pregnant with a doll, I will do this and that, but now it will not come true?" ”

Qiu Wei cried even harder.

Jingyi turned her face, the bed tent was hanging down, it was a hundred sons embroidered by her mother back then, she still remembered, her mother fell down with scissors, cut out a hole, and almost ruined the entire picture of a hundred children...... The mother had a way, and she embroidered the pattern with embroidery thread to cover the cracks. She still doesn't remember where the rift is...... Mother said that there is a way, as long as it is not an irreparable mistake, it can be saved. But she said embroidery, and many things can't be saved. No matter how you try to remedy it, it will leave a deep scar.

She struggled to her feet and tugged at the tent.

Qiu Wei stopped her and said that Miss should not move, I will do what she wants.

She pointed to the tent and said that she had taken this, and she was about to collect it...... Qiu Wei cried and said that this is for the lady to the young lady, hang it up, at this time the young lady looked at it and thought about the wife. Qiu Wei said that Mrs. would be happy.

Jingyi hugged the tent and her whole body was shaking.

She felt very uncomfortable, turned around and leaned on Qiu Wei's arms, wanting to cry but still couldn't cry...... I don't know how long it took, but I just felt dizzy. Hearing someone call her Yi'er Yi'er, she just couldn't move. I don't know who it is, and the voice is so gentle...... It was as if I could still hear the laughter of young children, cooing, cooing. Her eyes were wet, as if she was drowned in tears, and she wanted to struggle but couldn't break it off no matter what. She knew she was dreaming. This has happened a lot lately, and she often can't tell the difference between dreams and reality, and she also thinks that if it's not a dream, it's good if it's real, but today she is very sad......

……

"Isn't it getting better?" Mrs. Tao asked Dr. Zhao.

It's been a few days, and Jing Yi is groggy and groggy, and she hasn't gotten better.

Doctor Zhao shook his head and said softly: "The young grandmother is pregnant with the fetus, so she doesn't dare to take heavy medicine, so the good ones will naturally be slower." ”

Mrs. Tao looked at Mrs. Tao and Tao Inze who were sitting on the edge of the bed, and motioned for the doctor to take a step to speak.

When Mrs. Tao saw them go out, she looked at Jingyi, who was so feverish that she was drowsy, and said, "If it goes on like this, I don't know if I can keep this fetus or not." ”

Tao Yinze looked at Jingyi for a while and sighed. Since she came back, she always remembered that she came over every day. Tao Yinrun and Tao Yinqing always had some dislike for Jingyi because of the conflict between the Tao Cheng family this time, but they just asked. But she loves Jingyi from the bottom of her heart.

"Auntie, feel uncomfortable, right?" Old Madam Tao asked.

Tao Inze said angrily: "I'm uncomfortable and useless." This can't think of what the little cub is doing with those idle things. Obediently add a grandson to the Tao family, don't you take care of the days outside? ”

Old Madam Tao knew that she was straightforward.

"I heard that Sheng Chuan and Lao Qi have talked?" Tao Inze asked.

Old Madam Tao nodded and said, "I want to suppress the matter." It's too much, I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Tao Yinze looked at Jingyi and said, "I think so too." The affairs of the Cheng family looked at Jingyi in the end. ”

"Lao Qi may not be willing to listen." Mrs. Tao said.

"Rebellion, my son doesn't listen to Lao Tzu. They are all so ruthless, and the bayonets are red, how can they meet each other in the future? Tao Inze snorted. But nothing else was said. This is a big deal in her opinion, after all. They and Mrs. Tao are worried about Jing Yigui, and persuasion can also be persuaded, so they will not really take care of the outside affairs because of this.

"Still looking at Jingyi." Mrs. Tao said.

Tao Inze raised his eyebrows and said, "Jingyi can't withstand such repeated tossing. ”

Old Madam Tao understood what she meant, and the two looked at each other and sighed together.

Jingyi showed no signs of waking up, and the two old ladies sat for a while and went out together.

Tao Xiang was also there outside, talking to Mrs. Tao. Seeing his grandmother and aunt, he came over.

Old Madam Tao knew that he was busy, and she couldn't bear to say anything, so she only gave a few words and left.

Tao Xiang also asked his mother to go back to rest first. Mrs. Tao was a little reluctant, but Tao Xiang insisted, and she had no choice but to go first. Before leaving, she said again: "Master Cheng will come in these two days." said that he was visiting your father, but it was also because he was not at ease with Jingyi. In any case, don't get mixed up at this time. Consider your father's words. ”

Tao Xiang sent Mrs. Tao away and paced in the courtyard for a while.

It was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the flowers and trees in the yard were bleak......

Tao Xiang was about to go upstairs, and Yue'er came up to report that Young Master Sun was here. Tao Xiang stood down, waiting for Fushun to send the Qilin up, he smiled and asked, "Coming from yourself?" "Kirin is still wearing a school uniform. The cyan tunic and small hat make the child look very energetic.

Tao Xiang looked at it, and felt that the unicorn was beautiful and sturdy more than before.
