Chapter 19: A Sleepy Dream (18)
Jing Yi was stunned, only to see Tao Yinrun's eyes, and the dark and dreary pool was as deep as the bottom. Her heart sank and she was silent.
At this time, the curtain came to an end on "The Drunken Concubine", and the theater was applauding up and down, and the applause came like a tide for a while, and I couldn't hear anything else. Boss Cheng withdrew and reappeared under the urging of applause. He wore a concubine costume and saluted the position of Mrs. Tao upstairs, and Mrs. Tao greeted him and ordered a reward - Jingyi looked at the old grandmother who was surrounded by everyone like the supreme queen mother, and at this time she saw her style.
Tao Yinrun saw that Jingyi avoided his inquiry without a trace, and he didn't pursue it much, but just looked at her a little more or twice. Jingyi saved this little thing, knowing that her aunt and grandmother were very transparent people, not only worried that she would pay attention because of her own unnaturalness, but also worried that her deliberate calmness would make her figure it out more, so she would inevitably feel more comfortable. Fortunately, it was not early, Tao Inze was tired after sitting for a long time, and she couldn't let her do the scene she loved for a while, so she had to go back to rest first, so Tao Yinrun had to accompany her. Jingyi sent them down, and watched them staggering back to Luo Ruitang in a sedan chair...... She was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when Ke'er came down from upstairs and called her Seventh Young Grandmother, saying that Madame wanted her to come up quickly, and that a guest was about to leave.
Jingyi hurriedly agreed, and was about to go upstairs, when she heard a burst of laughter, she recognized it as her father-in-law Tao Shengchuan's voice, so she stopped. Sure enough, I saw my father-in-law take Tao Xiang to send the guests out, and it was the old father and son of Pu Ye Xingpu, who had a very good reputation in the local area. Because the Tao family and the Pu family are good friends, Jingyi and Pu Lao father and son are also familiar, so they stood down. Mrs. Pu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also accompanied by Mrs. Tao from the upstairs, and she said hello and took two steps back.
The old Pu couple stood in one place, looked at Jingyi specially, and really praised Jingyi with Tao Shengchuan and his wife.
Jingyi hadn't been seen in public since she returned from Xinjiang, and it was only after seeing these guests at home tonight that she really figured out what seemed to her to be an extremely natural choice and action, and what an astonishing influence it had. But it wasn't just as simple as being in the newspaper at the time...... She only listened to their discussions, smiling silently. I saw Tao Xiaoxiao standing behind her father slightly and looked at her.
She couldn't help but pout.
Tao Xiang turned his face away and cleared his throat.
"Jingyi, is this a blockbuster?" Tao Shengchuan waited to send the old Pu family out, and said with a smile when he returned. His face was full of red light, and he looked at the seventh son Tao Xiang, and he was in a good mood.
Jingyi was silent, Mrs. Tao looked at her, smiled, and said, "Indeed." ”
"Father, Special Envoy Fei is leaving." Tao Xiang reminded his father.
Tao Shengchuan looked up, and Fei Yuming and his entourage had already come out. When he stood down, he heard Fei Yuming say from afar: "Mrs. Tao, Tao Weng, Commander Tao, Mrs. Tao, thank you for your hospitality, I am very grateful, Fei has been bothered for a long time, so I will leave." Please greet the old lady on behalf of Fei. Come back another day. ”
He greeted them one by one and was courteous and thoughtful.
Jing Yi stood behind, and he could feel his gaze taking care of him. I can't help but sigh that this person is indeed a first-class politician, far from being summed up in four words.
Tao Shengchuan and Fei Yuming have been around for 61 days, and they have already understood his personality, talked with him with a few words, and after saying goodbye, Tao Xiang sent him out.
Jing Yi glanced at Tao Xiang.
The two were only a few steps away, and the corners of Tao Xiang's lips moved slightly, and she saw them all in her eyes. So Tao Xiang raised her feet, and she whispered to Mrs. Tao, "Mother, I will accompany Mu Zhi to send Mr. Fei", chased after him in a few steps, and grabbed Tao Xiang's arm.
Tao Xiang looked at her and didn't refuse her to come out with her. It's just that they went all the way out, and the two of them had to listen to Fei Yuming's ramblings. Tao Xiang listened patiently, and Jing Yi saw it, and his hand was pinching his arm vigorously.
It was easy to come to Fei Yuming's car, and Tao Xiang asked Fei Yuming to get in the car.
"Tomorrow night, a banquet will be held for Commander Tao's triumph, and Mrs. Tao will be invited to appreciate the light and come together." Fei Yuming got into the car and didn't forget to say to Jingyi.
Jingyi smiled and nodded.
"Commander Tao, goodbye." Fei Yuming got in the car and left.
Tao Xiang didn't wait for the car to drive away, so he wanted to turn around, but Jing Yi was quick and grabbed him.
The car drove away slowly.
As soon as Jingyi turned around, she saw Tao Xiang looking at her, obviously a little dissatisfied in her eyes.
Jingyi took his arm and whispered, "It's not that I don't know what kind of person he is, no matter how impatient you are, you have to be patient, this is in our house...... What's wrong with you? I don't usually see you so breathless. ”
She said, looked at him, and waited for him to answer.
Tao Xiang snorted lightly, without explaining the reason.
One after another, more guests left together, and Jingyi and Tao Xiang sent them back here. It took a while. Jingyi found that the guests were quite willing to say a few words to her tonight, but Tao Xiang, who had always had a good demeanor, was always a little impatient tonight...... But he was obviously good before. She thought so, but she always held Tao Xiang's arm, and walked back even tighter.
Tao Xiang didn't say anything for a long time, and Jing Yi looked at him, her face a little cold. She couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she had to say nothing. The two went back to the theater and found that the guests had already left, and those who stayed were close relatives and friends, and even Mrs. Tao moved down from the upper floor, obviously waiting for the opera studio to perform the "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers". Tao Shengchuan, who has never liked these very much, also accompanied the old mother, looking happy, which made Mrs. Tao smile even more.
As soon as the two of them stood down, Jing Yi let go of Tao Xiang.
On the side of the stage, the pianists were already seated - the one who played the huqin was adjusting the strings, it was Hu Shaobo. Jingyi herself heard the sound of gritting her teeth, and she still had to put some effort into restraining her emotions...... Old Madam Tao turned back to greet them, and she hurriedly smiled in response.
At the same time, Tao Jun, who turned back, also smiled at them and motioned for them to go over and sit.
Jing Yi looked at him, and the foot that had already been raised hesitated again.
Tao Xiang looked at her, took her hand, and said, "Go over and sit." ”
Jingyi had to go over and sit down.
Across Tao Xiang, she listened to Tao Jun talking to her grandmother. It's about how Fu Lizhen prepared for this play...... She stared at the stage, staring at the "general" with a good hint, and there was a thin, intermittent sound of silk and bamboo in her ears, and the pianist was still looking for the tune.
Tao Xiao saw that her hand was clenched, clutching it as if she had an enmity with someone, and couldn't help leaning closer to her and saying, "Don't go to the banquet tomorrow night." ”
