Chapter 5: The Abyss of Depth and Shallowness (12)

Brother Jiu carried a food box in his hand, filled it with some food, and wine. The three brothers and sisters sat together, and on the south kang in her room, the dishes and dishes were placed on the small kang table, the third brother and the ninth brother drank, and she also ate a little. The ninth brother saw that she had a smoked cage in the house, and a quilt around her body, and said that she was a master who fell down when the wind blew, and said that it sounded like a sick Shih Tzu, and made fun of her, because when they came in, she was studying a book with a weaving pattern that the eldest sister had newly given her. Brother Jiu said, don't say that you can knit a sweater or whatever, Xiao Shi, even if you learn a technique, I have to brag everywhere, my tenth sister is a real talent and beauty.

The third brother laughed when he heard it.

She was teased like this by her two brothers, but she was really not convinced. It is said that embroidery is very troublesome, but this Western weaving method is very simple. If you are willing to learn, there is nothing you can't learn.

She slapped the book with a clatter.

Before the eldest sister returned to Tianjin, she gave her this book, saying that she wanted her to study and do it on her own...... The eldest sister also said, don't be bored, she will come back to see her after a while. Jingyi didn't want Su Ri to just feel that there was a big age difference with the eldest sister, and the sisterhood was not like that, she really encountered difficulties, and the eldest sister really felt sorry for her... Clear...

Brother Jiu said that she would definitely not be able to learn.

She said, you have to learn how to weave a long scarf to tie up your hands and feet.

Brother Jiu laughed, drank more, and said, Do you still use you to tie my hands and feet...... Who in this house is more tightly bound than my hands and feet, even you, who will go out of this house one day... Anhydride...

When she and the third brother heard this, they were silent.

She thought that the third brother should be more touched.

As far as she is concerned, she also knows that Brother Jiu has been reprimanded in front of her father for her business...... The ninth brother fell asleep crookedly on the kang, and muttered something.

She looked at Brother Jiu and knew that he could no longer be a carefree teenager......

"If you feel cold, you will light the smoker." Zhi Chen saw that Jingyi was just out of his mind, so he said.

"No, I don't. I just don't look good, I'm just a little lacking. Jingyi made excuses.

Zhichen looked at Jingyi for a moment and raised his hand.

Jingyi's black hair is in the midst of illness, the black hair is scattered, a bend of green silk hangs down on her side, like a good black velvet, spread there, lining her face is blue and white, a little transparent.

Zhichen stroked the top of her hair and patted her forehead.

"Yi'er, you have to take care of your body. I think your spirit is very bad. It doesn't matter what, as long as it's beneficial and not too bothersome, learn to make a sweater, or flip through an English dictionary. He said.

Jing Yi turned her face, looked at Zhi Chen, nodded and said, "Okay." The third brother is wearing new clothes, is he going out? ”

When the third brother came home, he changed into a long shirt, and he returned to the shadow of the old time from a modern youth.

Moon-white soft silk with tiny swastika patterns. Brand new.

The third brother and the ninth brother are both in good shape. It looks good in anything. The third brother came to see her on the night he got home, and at that time he wore riding boots and breeches and leather jackets, and he was very heroic. She also likes to look at the third brother like that, and she can't help but think, how heroic the third brother should be in his uniform?

There is no photo of the third brother in the family, because his father has never liked him to join the army......

Zhichen said: "My aunt sent someone to call me to go, saying that my uncle has something to discuss with me. ”

"Hmm." Jingyi nodded. Take a sip of tea. Suddenly, he smiled, "I don't know what's going on?" ”

"yes, I don't know." Zhichen frowned.

Jingyi heard her mother say that Du's mother was very anxious to find a good match for the third brother recently, but the third brother didn't let go, and Du's mother couldn't do anything to him in a hurry......

The room was silent.

Zhichen hung his head slightly, looking at the new handmade carpet on the ebony floor. It is the famous Dunhuang blanket. Dunhuang blanket, Northwest ...... His heart sank.

The phone rang outside, and after a while, Cui Xi said outside, "Third Young Master, looking for you." It's Young Master Duan. ”

Zhichen stood up and walked outside. Tricy stood on the edge of the couch, holding the phone in both hands, and handed it to him.

He sat down on the couch, "Hey? ”

Sure enough, it was Duan Fengxiao, who asked him out for tea, saying that he was going to Jinyuxuan.

Zhichen shook his leg gently. Gently shake. The tip of his shoe touched the golden tassel hanging from the coffee table. It's soft, like a short golden waterfall.

After listening to Duan Fengxiao, he only agreed to one word: "Okay." ”

He put down the phone, picked it up again, dialed the number, and said, "Prepare the car." I'm going out in half an hour. He stood up, walked into the inner room, and looked at Jingyi, "Fengxiao asked me to drink tea, you go with me, and go out for a walk." ”

Jingyi looked out the window, drizzling.

She nodded and said yes, lost the chess pieces in her hand, and went to change her clothes.

Zhichen paced outside, waiting for Jingyi to change clothes. He personally told Qiao's mother to tell his wife and second wife, and said that he was going out and took Jingyi with him, so that they didn't have to worry.

Qiao's mother agreed to go.

Zhichen stood under the porch.

Xinglu should be the courtyard with the most water in Chengjia. The house, surrounded by water, is shaped like two apricot blossoms floating on a spring. The bubbling water in the water is the spring, the lake water is transparent and clear, the rockeries in the water are scattered, and the green moss is mottled; On the shore of the wall, surrounded by apricot trees and willow trees. In spring, it must be green willows like silk, red apricots like brocade, it should be the most beautiful moment in the apricot house...... At this time, the rain fell and hit the water, and Zhichen looked a little dazed.

There is a lot of water at home. It has to do with my father's preferences. In the past, the garden of the family also raised living water and still water, and there were mysteries everywhere.

When they were young, because there was so much water in their homes, adults always watched closely, and they were afraid that they would be in danger if they were not careful. He remembered that his aunt's house was like this, with a large area of water. Once he went, he saw Jingyi climbing onto the rockery. At that time, Jingyi was only five or six years old, and she was very naughty. The moss was slippery, and he was worried that she would fall down from the fright, so he held his breath and watched her step by step...... It turned out to be chasing a cat with a flower face. The very small kitten, whose fur has not retreated, also crawls two steps, and looks back at Jingyi, as if he is playing hide and seek with Jingyi.

He seemed to be fascinated by the sight, and just watched.

I don't know when Aunt Yu appeared, she exclaimed, "Yi'er, be careful"!

In fact, it's good that she didn't scream, but when she screamed, Jingyi's feet slipped, turned over and rolled down the rockery, and fell directly into the water.

He immediately took off his shoes, plunged into the water, and swam towards the place where the still ripples fluttered. The aunt and others on the shore were anxiously screaming something, he couldn't hear it clearly, he just looked at the little white shirt in front of him, floating in the blue water, his little arms open, sinking and floating...... He finally grabbed Jingyi in his hands.

The servants jumped down to help, and he struggled to carry Jingyi ashore.

Seeing Aunt Wei holding Jingyi in her arms, she was obviously frightened, but Jingyi just coughed...... Afterwards, Aunt Wei didn't allow Jingyi to run around for a long time, and asked her mother to follow Jingyi every step of the way. The flowery-faced kitten was raised for more than ten years until he died of old age......

"Third brother." Jingyi changed into clothes to go out.

That is, a moon-white shirt, a black skirt, white stockings, black lace-up patent leather shoes, a black cashmere sweater on his arm, and a small handbag.

Dressed up so refreshingly, she is a beautiful schoolgirl.

It's just a little thin, and it looks like it's hard to resist the wind and rain.

Zhichen said, "Let's go." ”

The car had stopped outside the second gate as instructed by Zhi Chen.

"Go to Jinyuxuan." Zhichen got into the car and said.

The car swayed out of Chengfu.

When they went out of the gate, the housekeeper on duty at the door came to greet them. Seeing Jingyi in the car, he especially asked Miss Ten to say goodbye and asked Miss Ten where she was going?

The driver answered.

When the car drove out of the gate, Zhichen smiled, looked at Jingyi, and said, "If you want to run out in the future, it will be even more difficult." ”

Jingyi coughed.

Coughing cheeks flushed. The handkerchief pressed her mouth and gasped for a while before she said, "Third brother, I am insignificant." I know that whether it is the Cheng family or the Tao family, looking at me, they are not a 'person'...... The third brother should have seen it better than me. She said, putting her sweater on.

Zhichen was silent and said, "I know. ”

"Thank you, third brother." Jingyi smiled. She couldn't get more words from the third brother, and the third brother was not that kind of person. Nor could she expect anyone to challenge her father's authority and prevail. But the third brother came back at this time after all...... She said, "Third brother, you have to marry a woman you like." Like the third sister-in-law in the past, how good. ”

She looked out the car window and didn't look at the third brother - on a rainy day, the stone road was wet and slippery. The car was not driving fast. Pedestrians with oil-paper umbrellas, drivers pulling rickshaws...... Ragged people walking on the road in the rain, guys hawking in roadside shops, and the occasional car passing by.

The driver parked the car in front of Jinyuxuan. Before he got out of the car, Zhichen saw that Jinyuxuan was heavily guarded in front of the door. He couldn't help frowning.

Jingyi didn't notice anything abnormal, but when she saw the guards with loaded guns on the east and west sides of the entrance of Jinyuxuan, she let out a "huh" and said in a low voice: "Is Second Brother Duan going out like this now?" ”

She frowned slightly, too. Thinking that Duan Guixiang was just like this that day, how could Duan Fengxiao put on such a pomp?

"Not really." Zhichen said. The first few times they got together, Duan Fengxiao only had more guards around him.

He asked Jingyi to get out of the car together.

When the guards at the door saw the Zhichen brothers and sisters, they made two "clicks" and "clicks", stood up straight, and did not salute the army.
