Chapter 4: Thick or Light Shadows (4)

Jingyi only stared at her father's back. The meaning of this back to her at this time is the hope of saving Meng Yuan almost all.

Cheng Shichuan turned around and asked slowly, "Figured it out?" ”

"Little Ten!" roared at Jing Yi, and his face turned red.

Jingyi didn't look at him, and said to her father, "I figured it out." ”

"That's good. Since you have figured it out, you have done it clearly for the father. Cheng Shiyun said that he was going to go to the United States.

"Wait, father." Jingyi said.

Cheng Shiyun turned around again.

"Please call immediately to confirm this." Jingyi almost bit the words and said them. Her clear eyes lit up.

Cheng Shiyun threw the civilization stick to Zhi Xi and walked back to the study quickly.

"Little Ten!" Zhi Shen glared at his sister.

Jingyi gritted her teeth and turned to follow.

Zhishen grabbed his hair and said, "What kind of thing is this?" ...... just now," he saw Zhi Zhi standing on the side like a stake, and swallowed back the second half of his words.

After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "In the end, the little arms can't twist the thighs." ”

The study was quiet again.

It's just that it's so quiet, like the sea before the storm.

Jingyi is not a person who gives up so easily; And the father, even less.

Zhishen grabbed his hair. Dysphoria.

"The master wants me to deliver the letter, Ninth Young Master." Zhi Yan said.

"To whom?" asked cautiously.

"The Tao family."

"It seems that my father is confident." The caution was somewhat gloomy. He cheered up and asked, "Do you know when the Tao family will come?" ”

"It should be these days."

Thinking about it carefully, then, Dai Mengyuan will stay in prison for at least a few days.

************

Jingyi's life is no better than that of Dai Mengyuan in prison. Ever since she had reached a tentative agreement with her father, she had been waiting for news in agony. Far from being grounded during this time, her father told her before she walked out of the study that she would go out and just talk to her mother and grandmother. She almost hated her father's attitude of winning the game...... But her father's attitude is her father's attitude, and her mother is a different matter. These days, even phone calls and letters have to pass through my mother's hands. So the access control - it seems that there is none, but Jingyi feels that she has never been constrained.

She even felt that she was covered with a net, and the more she struggled, the tighter the net became......

In the evening of this day, Jingyi watched listlessly as Qiao's mother twisted the hemp rope. Qiu Wei quietly helped to pull up the hemp rope that Qiao's mother had twisted, and she had already pulled a lot of it and put it in the sewing basket. The wicker basket under his feet is a mess, which makes people feel upset when they see it. She pulled a twine, twisted it, and was seen by Qiao's mother, and said with a smile: "Miss, carefully strangle your hands." ”

Jing Yi looked down, and the snow-white fingers of the twine were purple-red. Loosen it, and it took a while to regain its pink flesh color.

"Mrs. Kong's family has a good life, and I invited our wives to go. Didn't you make an appointment with Miss Cousin and the others to go early, why did the eldest lady ask and you said you wouldn't go? Qiao's mother asked Jingyi in a low voice, looked at Jingyi's speechlessness, and said, "Several wives are going." The Ninth Young Master, Miss Seven, and Miss Eight are also going with them, so if you don't go, it's not good-looking. ”

Jing Yi put the twine back into the wicker basket and said nothing.

Today is the fiftieth birthday of Mrs. Kong's family, and Kong Yuan saw her and mentioned it. Listening to Du's mother, the Kong family had posted a post a month earlier. Mrs. Kong's birthday is solemn every year, and it is said that tonight's church show is especially good - the hall show is specially prepared for old-school ladies and grandmothers like Du's mother, and there is another dance party tonight. In the morning, she went to the room with her mother to ask for peace, and Du's mother had already asked once. She was lazy, so she said that she was uncomfortable, so she didn't go this time.

"There was a church and a ball...... Miss Seven said what is this in the Kong family...... What is it...... Western...... and Shibi. Qiu Wei whispered.

Cui Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Even He's Bi has come out, do you know what He's Bi is?" ”

Qiu Wei pursed her lips and said, "I don't know, you know?" You know what you say. I haven't listened to it in the upper room. I heard the wives also discuss what to wear. Whether to wear a dress or a skirt. The eldest lady said that her feet were half the size of her feet, and she had to wear awkward leather shoes when she wore a dress. ”

"The third lady really looks better in a dress than in a skirt." Cui Xi whispered.

They exchanged glances with each other and looked at Wan Wei, who was sitting under the south window flipping through a book.

The eldest lady said that when Mrs. Kong invited, she specifically mentioned that she asked the second wife to go. Wan Wei politely refused as usual. She had never been interested in these social fun. Besides, his body is indeed weak these days, so he said that he would stay and watch the house. If she doesn't go, Jingyi will naturally not go either.

"Our wife will look good in a dress. I just haven't seen her through it......" Qiu Wei said.

"My wife looks good in whatever she wears." Trixi's voice was lower.

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at Jingyi.

Jingyi also ignored the two of them muttering.

"Miss, what do you mean by Miss Seven?" Qiu Wei asked Jingyi.

"East meets West. That is to say, today's Kong family not only eats noodles according to the Chinese tradition in the morning, but also lights birthday candles and eats birthday cakes in the evening. Jingyi explained. For Qiu Wei, a simple girl, she uses food to explain something, and it will be easier to explain.

Today is the ninth day of the seventh month...... She seemed to remember what day it was, and she couldn't remember it for a while.

"Yo, is it just blowing the lamp and pulling out the wax? Our ninth young master is also happy with this set on his birthday. Not good, not good, not good. Miss, don't come to this set of foreign rules for your birthday, what is so delicious about the birthday cake? Greasy and greasy, after all, it is not as comfortable and delicious as a bowl of longevity noodles, and the meaning is good. Blowing the lamp and pulling the wax...... How unlucky. Qiao's mother pulled off the hemp rope and said with a smile: "How good is the dough rolled by Mrs." The rolled dough is as thin as paper, and the cut noodles are as thin as a hair. Both the lord and the eldest lady love this mouthful! In the past, when the old lady and the old lady were there, they loved to eat every birthday. I easily refused to let my wife go to the kitchen, just waiting for the birthday, and a limited number of people could eat this morning. ”

Jingyi sat there and listened to Qiao's mother. When her grandfather and grandmother died, she was still young, and her impression was already a little blurry. I can remember when I was a child, my grandmother liked to hold her on her lap and pick noodles to feed her.

Although Qiao's mother said that only a limited number of people can eat the noodles made by her mother, in fact, her mother also has to get up early in the morning and laboriously roll the noodles until dawn. My mother was very weak, but she did these things without complaining...... Jingyi thought so, and felt sorry for her mother.

She always felt sorry for her mother and was willing to do whatever she wanted.

If it was an ordinary thing, she was really willing to fulfill her mother's wishes in everything.

She looked at her mother, who was reading under the lamp, and was shrouded in the shadow of the lamp, and her mother, dressed in plain clothes, looked like a jade Guanyin.

Wan Wei realized and looked at her daughter.

Jingyi lowered her head.

Wanwei poured out her mind for a while, and when she heard the messy footsteps and high-pitched and crisp laughter outside, she motioned for Cui Xi to go out and have a look, and said, "I'm afraid the third and fourth wives are here." ”

Jingyi stood up, straightened her skirt, and sat down across from her mother.

Qiao's mother and Qiu Wei hurriedly collected their things and stepped aside.

Cui Xi opened the curtain and went out to see, the girl walking in front with the lantern was in the third wife's room, she turned on the electric light, and the corridor was suddenly as bright as day, the third wife stopped laughing, and listened to the third lady say: "Ouch, the light is still on in the apricot house, the second wife is careful, the electric light is pulled on the corridor, in the end it is brighter, and the aisle at night is not in the way." Cui Xi, where is the second wife? Let's invite the second wife to go to the theater together. ”

Cui Xi hurriedly replied and invited them in.

The third wife was the first, and the fourth wife followed.

Zhiluan Zhifeng found the white parrot under the porch, and called it like to cry, and when she heard the three ladies urging them, she hurriedly went in to say hello to Wanyu. Seeing that Wan Wei and Jing Yi were still dressed in homely clothes, Zhiluan touched the phoenix.

"I'm going out, why hasn't Jingyi changed her clothes yet?" Zhifeng asked.

Wan Wei smiled, and the third wife said to Zhifeng: "Your aunt said that she went back to her wife, so she won't go tonight." But the second wife, tonight's meeting of the Kong family is a rare good corner, go to listen to the drama and scatter your heart? The four famous Dans came, the finale "Dragon and Phoenix", the Winter Emperor went to Emperor Zhengde, and Boss Cheng went to Sister Li Feng! How rare! Just now, the old man also spoke, saying that he would let everyone go. Second sister, if you don't go, it's a pity that you have this opportunity. Wouldn't it be nice to go somewhere else to cool off? ”

Wan Wei smiled and said, "I don't really love this. ”

"Look at the excitement. Second wife, go ahead. The fourth lady also smiled and persuaded, "It's rare for our sisters to go out together." You see, my third wife and I have come to invite you together. ”

Wan Wei looked at her silent daughter, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm still not going." Since the master has something to say, then Yi'er should go-Yi'er, change your clothes. ”

"Yes." Jingyi knew that the third wife and the fourth wife came together, and she and her mother always had to go to one. Although she didn't want to join in the excitement, she couldn't force her mother to go.

The good thing is that everything is ready-made.

Zhiluan Zhifeng hugged her to her room and helped her pick out a dress to change into. Jingyi is good-natured by them to dress her up - Zhiluan Zhifeng is picky about her for a while, and for a while for her for a while, she is picky for her and wearing her full of pearls, as if she is not grand enough. In a blink of an eye, I saw that the perfume given to her by Flawless and Innocent on her dressing table was special, and I asked Jingyi if she picked a bottle by herself. Jingyi waited for them to turn around, took off a few pieces of jewelry from their heads, and followed them out, and the third lady looked at her and said, "Miss Ten, you are just a little cleaner." Young girls are not afraid to dress up and show off. ”

Jing Yi was silent.

The fourth wife smiled: "The third wife just said the opposite, she is young, so she should be pure." Half-old are going to show off - if the folds on their faces are not covered with fat powder, I am afraid that they will not be able to see it. ”

Wan Wei looked at Jingyi and said, "Mrs. Kong is celebrating her birthday today, but she should be more happy." Mrs. Kong will greet me and confess my sin. Remember to listen to your wife, don't be naughty. Go ahead. ”

"Yes." Jingyi said goodbye to her mother and took Qiu Wei out of the apricot house with the third wife. The cars that went out were all parked in the second gate, and Du Shi was already waiting in the car at this time, and when he saw them coming, he asked people to call Jingyi to him and said, "Jingyi follow me." ”

Jingyi sat in the car, saw that Zhishen was also there, and called "Brother Jiu". Zhi Shen smiled and said nothing in front of Du Shi.

When Du Shi saw Jingyi, he asked this and that, and finally said, "Since you have gone, you will scatter your mind." Leave nothing on the side. ”

The more kind her tone was, the more sour Jingyi's heart became when she listened.

Seeing her appearance, Du Shi reached over and shook her hand, and said with a smile: "Do you know why I have to let you go?" ”

Jingyi shook her head.

"These girls, count you like the fourth. Taking you out, I feel the most comfortable. It's like the fourth child is next to me. Dushi said.

"Mother......" Jingyi heard Du Shi mention the respect of the fourth sister, and didn't know what to say next.

"It's also my birthday, I need to have some fun." Du Shi said, shook his head, and said, "Of these people, only your mother remembers today's birthday." She knows what I'm thinking, or she wouldn't let you out and follow me. ”

Jingyi then remembered.

In previous years, she remembered the birthday of the fourth sister, but this year she forgot it. In this hurry, his face became hot.

"Mother's ......"

Du Shi saw it, smiled and said, "I know you always think about your fourth sister." Who picked out this garment for you today? After she finished speaking, she deliberately leaned back, took the glasses and put them on.

Zhishen sat opposite them, and then said with a smile: "Sensei, it must have been done by Zhiluan Zhifeng." Xiao Shi was also honest, so he came out dressed as a peacock. ”

Jing Yi looked down at herself, it was indeed fancy - the emerald dress dress, the style was not very novel, I had forgotten when I got it, I only remembered that it was a little narrow when I tried on the clothes, and I simply didn't go on it once, she has lost weight recently, and this skirt fits well; white satin dancing shoes, with a rhinestone buckle horizontally, still glittering in the car; The white stockings make the calves slender...... No wonder her mother said something like that when she went out.
