Old Madam Tao looked at Jingyi for a while, and said to Mrs. Tao with a smile: "It is indeed a neat child. ”

Mrs. Tao smiled but did not say a word.

"Grandma, the seventh sister-in-law won't have a scar on her face, right? Look at the bruises. Luo Wenpei came over quietly, sat beside Mrs. Tao, and looked at Jingyi and said.

Jingyi looked up.

Her pale face flushed slightly, and the shadow of purple bruises floated there, undodging and unavoiding.

Tao Shengchun glared at his daughter, beckoned and said, "Wen Pei is talking nonsense again." Why don't you compensate the seventh sister-in-law soon? ”

"Auntie, it's nothing." Jingyi said.

Luo Wenpei was told by her mother, and hurriedly came over to bow to Jingyi, and said with a smile: "Seventh sister-in-law, I'm sorry." My mother was right, I said the wrong thing. can think of the appearance of the seventh sister-in-law, if she has a scar, it will make people feel distressed to death. There's always a way to get rid of it, right? Grandma said yes? Ticks"

Wen Pei sat back next to Mrs. Tao as usual, and the monkey was beside the old lady.

Jing Yi looked at her ghost-like appearance, a pair of eyes sparkled, thinking that this Wen Pei was young, but there were a lot of eyes, so she smiled and said, "Thank you Sister Wen Pei for your concern." ”

"Seventh sister-in-law is welcome." Wen Pei smiled, glanced at Tao Xiang who was sitting below, and said in a low voice: "I still think that everyone knows that the bride of the seventh brother is a great beauty, if it is not as good as in the photo, and you think that you have married the wrong person, how bad is that?" ”

Jing Yi listened to Wen Pei's words, laughing and not saying a word.

"Wen Pei!" Tao Shengchun snorted, his face already stiffened.

Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "Why should my aunt scold her for the naughty things her children said?" ”

"It's still my aunt who loves me. My mother would glare. Wen Pei saw that Tao Shengchun's face was not good, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

"It's all so big, just play around all day. I don't see any progress in reading. How good are you? Tao Shengchun pointed to the seat next to him and asked Wen Pei to come down, "Let grandma talk to your seventh sister-in-law, and don't make trouble." ”

Wen Pei went over, put her arms around her mother, and said, "Mother, what's the use of studying?" Look at the seventh sister-in-law, she is a well-known scholar, but she doesn't want to marry the seventh brother obediently. No matter how many books I read in the past, it was in vain. ”

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. How can reading be in vain? Tao Shengchun pulled his daughter, looked at Jing Yi and said, "There is one thing Wen Pei is not wrong, Jing Yi is famous for reading." ”

"Nothing, auntie." Jing Yi hurriedly said.

"Why not? Wen Pei and Er Yi are both old and studying at the Provincial No. 1 Girls' High School. In the future, when you have time, teach these two more. Tao Shengchun said with a smile.

Mrs. Tao smiled and looked left and right, on one side was the new granddaughter-in-law, and on the other side was the granddaughter and granddaughter, full of joy.

Jingyi was looked at by the old lady like this, and her face turned even redder unconsciously.

Old Madam Tao smiled and stretched out her hand, "Jingyi, come, sit closer." ”

"Yes." Jing Yi whispered and moved to Old Madam Tao's side again.

The old lady had a faint fruity and floral fragrance, reaching out to hold her hand, she only felt that the old lady's hand was slightly cold, but the hand was extremely slippery, it was really not like the hand of an old man.

She looked down.

The old lady's hands are thin and long, white and silky, and her nails are trimmed very finely, unlike Tao Shengchun, who wears a gold armor set on his hands, only clean, with a jade ring on the ring finger of one hand and a diamond on the other...... Jingyi only looked at it, and when she heard the old lady ask her, she blushed and raised her head.

"Grandma has a secret prescription for handguards, seventh sister-in-law." Eryi saw it and said.

Mrs. Tao said: "The habit I have developed over the years is to take care of my hands because I want to play the piano. And so it went on over time. Your mother-in-law, aunts, and sisters are raised like this. ”

Jingyi nodded.

She suddenly felt something moving under her feet, so she looked sideways, but it didn't.

She thought she had a delusion, so she retracted her foot.

Old Madam Tao asked her in a slow voice, and she answered them one by one, but she was a little uneasy in her heart, and she couldn't help but pay attention to her feet.

After a while, she watched as her skirt swayed, and there seemed to be something underneath it.

She was shocked, in front of the old lady, it was not easy to show it, so she had to endure it, and she had to concentrate on listening to what the old lady said, so she couldn't help sweating...... She peeked at Tao Xiang. He was talking to Mrs. Tao and his aunt, and did not look at her.

Qiu Wei found that her expression was wrong, but she didn't know the point.

“…… What do you like to eat, just talk to the kitchen......" Mrs. Tao told Jingyi.

Jingyi suddenly felt that something furry suddenly put on her calf, and there was a tingling on her leg, and finally she couldn't help it, and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry ......."

Old Madam Tao saw that her face changed, and before she finished speaking, she stood up with her skirt and almost didn't scream.

A room full of people were stunned by her actions.

Jingyi lowered her head, but there was still nothing under her feet.

Tao Xiang saw that she was patient, with an embarrassed and hesitant face, grabbing the hem of her skirt and looking a little overwhelmed, she stood up first and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jingyi looked at him.

"Flutter", Wen Pei laughed.

was smashed hard by Er Yi, and Wen Pei held back again.

Tao Xiang glanced at the three little girls who seemed to be struggling to hold back their laughter and walked over.

Jingyi was embarrassed. Tao Xiang is here, in addition to the sisters-in-law, there are also elders, and it is really inconvenient for her to lift her skirt. But there is obviously something on the calf, and it is still moving...... She's afraid of rats...... Thinking like this, I almost sweated like rain, and I couldn't speak with my mouth slightly open.

Tao Xiang suddenly understood, and just about to bend over, he also felt inconvenienced, and he was stunned.

The two just looked at each other, as if they were being teased.

"What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Tao looked at Tao Xiang and Jing Yi inexplicably. Tao Xiang is okay, although Jingyi is trying her best to be calm, her face is simply pale.

At this moment, Jingyi felt the thing on her leg scratch her knee. This time it was itchy and painful, she let out a low "ah", almost jumped up, and didn't care about anything, grabbed Tao Xiang's arm close at hand, and said, "...... There's something ......."

Swallowed back the three words "in the skirt".

But strangely, as soon as she said this, the pain and itch disappeared immediately. She was about to relax when she saw her skirt swing, and a small brown thing ran out from under it...... Jing Yi was almost dark in front of him, grabbed Tao Xiang's hand and pinched it hard.

"Who put it out?" Old Madam Tao shouted.

Jingyi saw a little brown thing stop on the ground, climbed on the hem of Mrs. Tao's skirt and climbed onto her lap, sat down, and looked back at her—what a beautiful little monkey!

"Don't be afraid, it doesn't bite." Tao Xiang had a smile in his voice. Jingyi looked at him and let go of the hand that was gripping his arm. "It's a sleeved monkey raised by my grandmother."

Mrs. Tao dotingly patted the head of the sleeve monkey, the sleeve monkey climbed on her shoulder, was caught by her, and said to Jingyi: "I'm afraid that it will get into trouble, so I told them to take care of it and let you see it when they come back, who knows...... Who did this to you? It's a couple of naughty ghosts. Let it out and tease your seventh sister-in-law, won't you? ”

She straightened her face, Er Yi, Wen Pei and Ren Pei lowered their heads, still smiling, and the brocade robe couldn't stop trembling and shining.

"You don't have any rules. Naughty has to look like it. Old Madam Tao straightened her face.

"We're just joking with my seventh sister-in-law." Eryi whispered.

"Eryi!" Mrs. Tao spoke.

Er Yi pursed her lips and said, "Seventh sister-in-law, I'm sorry. ”

"Nothing." Jingyi whispered.

"Eryi is getting more and more naughty." Tao Xiao helped Jingyi sit down and said lightly.

Er Yi was told by her grandmother and mother, and she couldn't hold it on her face, and she didn't want Seventh Brother to speak again, so she immediately blushed and said, "What's a big deal...... Isn't it just a joke, you also say this and that...... What is there to be afraid of, and will not eat her, look at the ...... that hurts you Ignore you. ”

As she spoke, she glared at Jingyi fiercely, turned around and ran.

Wen Pei and Ren Pei chased after him.

Jingyi felt even more embarrassed.

Tao Shengchun said with a smile: "Didn't this child eat the vinegar of her seventh sister-in-law?" Originally, she was the most favored at home. Jingyi, don't go to your heart, the old man is very good-hearted, and your sister-in-law will know it when you get along for a long time in the future. ”

"Yes, Auntie. Grandma, Mother, it's me who made a fuss. Jingyi said.

"Er Yi is sometimes very unscrupulous when she is stubborn, she always follows me, and she is usually too pampered, so she will inevitably indulge in her lawlessness. It's a joke when it gets out. Mrs. Tao comforted Jingyi, patted the sleeve monkey as she spoke, stretched out her arm, and the sleeve monkey slipped down her arm to the back of her hand, tilting her head to look at Jingyi.

Jing Yi was the first time she had seen such a dexterous animal. In the past, I only heard my father say that the lamas of the Western Regions love to raise such little monkeys, because they are petite and can hide in their sleeves and carry them around, so they are called sleeve monkeys.

Tao Xiang took a small handful of pine nuts from the fruit box and handed it to Jingyi, saying, "It likes to eat pine nuts." Take this and feed it. I won't bully you when it's cooked. ”

Jingyi took it, not wanting the sleeve monkey to still tilt her head to look at her, and refused to eat.

Or Tao Xiang peeled a pine nut for it first, and it grabbed it and ate it. Tao Xiang put the peeled pine nuts on Jing Yi's hand and pointed to the pine nuts to show it.

It hesitated to take it or not.

Mrs. Tao smiled: "Eat, this is Brother Xiang'er's daughter-in-law, a member of our family." ”

Tao Xiang touched the head of the monkey.

The sleeved monkey really took the pine nuts from Jingyi's hand and ate them.

It's just that after eating, he slipped back to Mrs. Tao's shoulder.

Jingyi relaxed at this time and wiped the corners of her forehead with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Tao seemed to be in a very happy mood when she saw this, looked at her, looked at Tao Xiang again, and said to Mrs. Tao: "It's not too early, if you have something in front of you, just go, Brother Xiao should also go." Jingyi stayed and sat with us again. ”

"Yes, mother, tonight the third young master and the third young grandmother of the Cheng family have a dinner party. When I arrived later, I would come to visit my mother first. Mrs. Tao stood up.

"Got it." Mrs. Tao said.
