Tao Xiang waved his hand. Shu Xun fold

    The smoke between the fingers quickly drifted away in the wind.

    Huang Jenny smiled, waved her hand too, and said, "I'll go back to dance...... Wait, can I do a dance? ”

    Her heels pounded on the ground and went.

    Tao Xiang looked up, and the tall and thin shadow opposite him moved in the same direction...... He picked up his glass and drank the champagne from it.

    It's cold outside, and the wine is cold and smashes your teeth.

    The silk and bamboo in the theater are long, and the music in the Yin Hall is fluttering, like two strands of rope wrapped together, swinging over and over, almost without a moment's stop.

    He didn't want to go to the theater or dance at the moment, he just wanted to stand here quietly for a while...... Champagne like cold water, if you drink too much, you will get a beggar.

     Faintly, there was a woman's whispering and laughter, which sounded far away, and after a while, it was close again...... He looked in the direction where the voice had come from, and there was no one. However, the sound was getting louder and louder, and it seemed to be through the wall, just under the wall.

    He was pacing along the water's edge to the wall, when he heard someone calling him.

    "Seventh brother! "It's far away.

    He stopped.

    ……

    Jingyi originally just wanted to go back to her room for a nap, and didn't want to wait for her to wake up, it was already past nine o'clock.

    This sleep was heavy and solid.

    "Miss, if you don't get up again, the dance will be over." Qiu Wei held her cheeks, sat on the low stool next to the bed, watched her sit up, and whispered.

    Jingyi saw that she was also sleepy-eyed and asked, "When did you come back?" ”

    " has been back for a long time. The eldest lady asked me to take care of the dates and chestnuts in the third young master's new room, and when they came back, they had to make a bed, and I threw dates and chestnuts on them...... A few hit the third master's head, and the young grandmother was distressed. Qiu Wei said to Jing Yi, her face flushed with a smile. Jingyi smiled when she heard this. Qiu Wei continued: "In the evening, the third young grandmother changed her clothes and went to the ball, asked me which room the girl was, and let me come back after listening to me. Why didn't I see you? When I came back, I heard Dong's mother say that you are resting. Miss, what's wrong with that? ”

    "Hmm. But now it's fine. Jingyi got out of bed, opened her long hair, and unkempt her head, "I'll wash my face and you comb my hair." The comb is simpler, the clothes are gorgeous, but there is no need for too grand decoration. ”

    Qiu Wei put hot water for her, she hurriedly cleaned her face, and changed into her dress first.

    For the festivities, a crimson evening dress was prepared. Qiu Wei was busy tying her back strap. The strap was pumped and pumped, and it was more important than when I tried it on that day. Qiu Wei grabbed the ribbon in her hand and said, "Miss, you have to be thinner again, be careful when you dance, your skirt will fall off." ”

    "Skinny like a white bone spirit, isn't it?" You tie it tighter, but you can't fall down, or you'll make a big joke. Jingyi reached out and pinched it, Qiu Wei had already tightened the strap as much as possible, and she could still twist the skirt into a wrinkle.

    "On the day of great joy, what do you say about the white bone spirit? Weird and scary. The door curtain was lifted, and Cheng Zhiluan came in with a smile. His eyes turned around Jing Yi.

    "Seventh sister, why are you here?" Jingyi asked. Looking at it again, Zhiluan was followed by Jiang Hui'an. Zhiluan is dressed in an autumn-colored dress, with ostrich feathers of the same color in the bun, beaming with joy; Hui'an is wearing a honey-colored skirt, neat and dignified - "It's so beautiful." Jing Yi praised.

    "I know that you are not praising me, but praising Hui'an." Zhiluan smiled and sat down. Looking back at the window, he said idly: "Zhiyi has always been here?" It's good that you're here, and your actions are being called by. ”

    " today is. How dare I call it? He was the man next to his father. Jingyi also glanced out the window, but she couldn't see it at all. This person, sometimes in or out, is not very noticeable. She took Hui An's hand and gave up her seat, holding the sugar box and placing it between her and Zhiluan.

    Zhiluan took a piece of sugar, peeled off the glass candy paper, and said with a smile: "Your errand here is dedicated." ”

    Jingyi glanced at her, turned around and sat down in front of the dressing table, and said, "You wait for me." How's the prom going? ”

    Hui An smiled softly and said, "Miss Seven and I went over to take a look, there were too many people, and I felt dizzy before I went in." I'm thinking about you, I wanted Miss Seven to take care of herself, I'll just come over by myself, Miss Seven is too polite, send me over personally. ”

     Zhiluan looked at her and said with a smile: "I want to hand you over to the tenth sister to rest assured - ten sister, you come out quickly to accompany Hui'an to listen to the play, it's so boring, she can listen to it with relish, and what she said is the Tao, I really convinced her!" ”

    "I don't feel bored. Hui An is not embarrassed.

    Jingyi smiled.

    Qiu Wei swept some rouge on her face, she looked in the mirror, felt that her face was not good, and asked her to sweep some more.

    "Is it too heavy? "Qiu Wei has never seen the young lady wear such heavy makeup, and she can't do it.

     Zhiluan walked over, held Jingyi's chin, took the rouge from Qiu Wei's hand, swept it twice more for Jingyi, looked at it again, and then said with satisfaction: "That's just right." Your face is frighteningly white, and your eyes are too black, like two black holes on a white paper. Do you want to go out and be scary at night? I've really become a bone spirit......"

    Jingyi listened, remembering the last time she and Zhifeng teased her and put a diamond ornament on her head, so she came over to catch Zhiluan with a hand of rouge. Zhiluan was really afraid that Jingyi would put rouge on her dress, so she hurriedly hid outside the house, and smiled through the glass window to make Jingyi faster, "Wait for you to play." I'll go first, they'll all be waiting for me...... Hui'an, I'll give you to the tenth sister. ”

    Jingyi finished washing her hands, and Zhiluan was gone.

    Hui An still sat there peacefully, looking at Jingyi with a smile.

    "Wait for me to change my shoes. Jingyi turned to look at the pair of dancing shoes of the same color that matched the skirt on the ground, and sighed lowly—the heel is thin and high, do you have to walk so much in it...... She was ruthless, but she still put it on.

    Jingyi took Hui An's hand and walked out, saying, "Let's go, let's go to the play." ”

    "Don't you want to dance? Hui An smiled and asked, "You don't have to follow me." ”

    "I'm going to show up. Jingyi and Hui'an walked out, followed by Qiu Wei. She looked closely, and it was really gone. I can't help but feel a little weird.

    Hui'an has been accustomed to Jingyi's actions in the past few days, and someone followed, seeing Jingyi looking left and right, he also asked: "Hey, where is the black bag?" ”

    Jingyi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who Hui'an was talking about, and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

     then remembered that she had returned to her room after that game of chess, and she had never seen her again.

    She waited for a while, but she didn't see Zhi Xin's figure, so she was gone.

    The two of them walked and chatted about the new things they hadn't seen for two or three days, smiling from time to time.

    “…… The garden is too big. When I went back that day, I told my father that Qingyuan was like a grand view garden. My father joked with me, saying that my Hui'an is Grandma Liu? Every time I came in, it was like the first time. Hui An said with a smile.

    "It's okay if you can't remember it now, it's not too late to remember it when you move in in the future." Jingyi also smiled.

    Hui An listened to her quip, just blushing.

    Jingyi felt more and more amiable about her. It's not like other women, making a joke with her and twisting it. It can also be seen that Hui'an is admiring and cautious. It's the same that makes her feel good about Hui'an.

    "This Qingwang Mansion has been completed, and I am afraid that I have never come to so many guests tonight. You see, in addition to the inner house, the three courtyards in the east, middle, and west in front of you all come in handy. Last time on Aunt Kong's birthday, I went with my mother to pay homage to her birthday, and I thought that when it was their turn to lay out the arrangement at home, I really knew what it meant that pearls were like earth and gold and iron. Jingyi said, stopping.

    "What? Hui'an was listening intently to Jingyi's words, and when she saw her stop, she hurriedly asked.

    Jingyi raised his feet and looked at them - the shoes were new, his head was back on the ground, the leather was a little hard, and he was grinding his feet...... She whispered, "Ouch, how can I survive all night?" ”

    Hui An said, "Why don't you let Qiu Wei bring you another pair of shoes." ”

    Qiu Wei said, "Yes, miss." I'll go back and get it. ”

    " No. It's okay. Jingyi was still talking, Qiu Wei had already run away. Jingyi wanted to stop her, and when she saw that she was running fast, she said, "This flustered girl, you have to know where to find us later." Don't ask which pair to take? ”

    "Wait here. Save you hardship. Hui An smiled. Look here and ask, "Where is this going?" ”

    Jingyi said: "I want to go to the theater with you, so I went to the west." This is the West Garden. ”

    The West Garden is lit up, and there are sporadic guests who visit the garden by the light. Tonight, Qingyuan will not close the door at night, go out from the west side door, walk not far is the Zhao family, and the door is also wide open, which is convenient for guests to come and go.

    Hui'an thought that when he came in, these streets were full of military police, heavily guarded, and when he arrived at the gate of the Cheng family, he walked in, and the vigilance of the family inside was more dense than the outside. She said softly: "For the past two days, the house is really thoughtful. ”

    "The third brother is the eldest son, and he married such a wife. This is already a frugal way. Jingyi said, looking at Hui'an, "When you come to Brother Jiu, with the friendship between our two families, we will not treat you badly, and we will definitely do a big job." If you really don't like extravagance, just say it to the people above. Mothers are reasonable people. ”

    Hui An smiled and whispered to Jingyi, "You know me." ”

    "Know what about you? Jingyi took her hand. Hui An's hands are as soft as cotton, like her temperament. "I know you'll treat my ninth brother well."

    "You're good, bad. If you say that, it's not up to you to ......" Hui An's face burned or something.

    The two have already walked to the front of the West Garden Theater, and Qiu Wei has not yet come.

    Jingyi entered the theater with Hui'an. Most of the people who listen to the drama here are the wives and old ladies of the house, and there are also some old-school young grandmothers and aunts. Du Shi and Wan Wei were both here to accompany the guests at this time. Jing Yi hadn't sat down yet, and said hello to the left and right. I haven't seen her for a long time, so she had to greet her patiently one by one, and when it was almost over, it was time to leave, but Hui An couldn't stand up straight, and she was still laughing when she walked out of the theater.

    Jingyi said helplessly: "Sister Hui'an, this is more tiring than kowtowing in Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

    Hui An smiled and comforted her, saying, "Go dance, don't bow over there." ”

    Jingyi listened, but a subtle shadow flashed on his face.

    "Are you afraid of meeting him? Hui An asked.

    Jingyi shook her head.

    Afraid, not afraid.

    The two of them stood outside the door of the Xiyin Hall, and the servants opened the curtains, and the lively and noisy sound suddenly had a boiling momentum.

    "What kind of person is he?" Hui An asked in a low voice.

    Jingyi saw the one she didn't know how to describe to Hui An "what kind of person he is" almost at first glance - he was dancing with Yuanyao, spinning with extremely fast dance steps - each pair of dancers was like cherry blossoms that spun from the air and fell rapidly to the water...... It's dizzying, and it's all of a sudden excitement from this beauty.

    Jingyi clenched Hui'an's hand.

    "Is that him? Hui An also saw Tao Xiang. Seeing Jingyi nodding, she let out a low "oh".

    Jingyi doesn't know if it means admiration or what...... But Tao Xiang, if he didn't know him, he would probably be confused by his appearance. She took Hui'an's hand, walked all the way, smiled all the way, and went to the third brother and them, but she didn't see the third sister-in-law and cousins. When she asked, she realized that she had gone to the back to change her dress, and she asked, "What about Brother Jiu?" ”

    "Lao Jiu drank a lot of wine tonight, I'm afraid he was looking for a place to rest. Jin Biquan said with a smile.

    Jingyi looked back at Hui An, who turned her face away.

    "Miss Ten! Jingyi heard someone call her, turned around and looked, and recognized it as Jenny Huang.

    "Miss Yellow, long time no see. Jingyi said.

    Jenny Huang took two glasses of champagne, smiled, and handed Jingyi a glass.

    Jingyi connected.

    Huang Jenny was crimson, sweaty, and her bright eyes just looked at her.

    Kong Yuanxuan, who was standing behind Jing Yi, frowned when he saw Huang Jenny. Huiquan shook his head at him and whispered something. Huang Zhenni deliberately raised the wine glass in her hand higher as if provocative, as if to let them see it clearly, and smiled at Jingyi: "Miss Ten, I have no virtue after drinking, I was offended a lot last time, and I made Miss Ten angry." This glass of wine is something I specially came to make amends to Miss Ten. ”

     She said, drank the glass of wine in her hand, and shook the bottom of the glass to Jingyi.
