Chapter 19: A Sleepy Dream (3)
"Yes. Or I could have come back two days earlier, just in time for the earthquake in western Haixi. Fortunately, the area is sparsely populated, and the damage is not heavy. Qi Shao saw that the rescue mission was almost completed, and then he was willing to return. Tu Huyi scratched behind his ears, and he also looked palpitating.
Ma Xingjian coughed and looked at him. Tu Huyi smiled at him.
Jingyi's heart shook when she heard the news, and she slowed down before she said softly: "It's good that you are all safe." I didn't see Staff Officer Cen, what about the others? He"
When he came back, Qishao sent a message to let him go first. Misimin couldn't see him, and he didn't know what he was worried about. Tu Huyi said with a smile.
Jingyi smiled and asked, "You must be worried." When will their wedding be postponed? β
"It's not decided yet. said that he would come back this time, and he would hurry up on a good day. Tu Huyi replied.
Jingyi nodded when she heard this, and said as she walked, "It's time to do it." β
She knew that it was too late to go out at this time, so she gave a few more instructions, and sent Qiu Wei when she went out to get into the sedan chair, urging the sedan chair man to go quickly.
I don't want to pass through the gate of Tan Yuan, but I met Qilin'er going out.
Seeing Jingyi's sedan chair, Qilin'er happily ran over to call her aunt.
The sedan chair man stopped the sedan chair, and Jing Yi saw that Qilin'er was carrying a schoolbag, and only the old servant and the nurse who followed him, so he asked, "Is this going to the study?" Why didn't you see the car come to pick it up? She looked at the gate of the courtyard, but she didn't see Fu Lizhen as expected.
"Daddy told me to walk to the study by myself." Qilin'er was very happy, and said to Jingyi with a raised face. "Auntie, Daddy said that Uncle Seven is back, is it true? Daddy said he wouldn't let me go to see Uncle Seven at this time...... I'm going to go out of school to see Uncle Seven, okay? Will Uncle Seven go out again soon? Then I can't see him! β
Jing Yi looked at Qilin'er's excited nose and sweated, and said, "Okay." Let Uncle Seven wait for you...... Lin'er comes up, and the aunt will take you for a while. β
"Seventh sister, let's let him go by himself, and exercise it." Tao Jun's voice sounded inside the door, smiling, clear and bright.
When Jingyi heard this, she hurriedly came out of the sedan chair, and sure enough, Tao Jun was pushed by Fushun and had already come to the door. She said hello to Tao Xiang before saying, "It's so far to go to the study, Lin'er still has to study, it's hard, big brother." β
"I didn't let him sleep three watches and get up five watches, which is a bit of a problem. Lin'er? Tao Jun smiled and looked at his son slightly.
Jingyi also looks at Qilin'er.
"Little auntie, I can go. Goodbye, little aunt. Qilin'er bowed to her, and happily took the old servant's hand and left. She couldn't help but smile too, although Qilin'er still didn't grow much taller, she looked much tougher than before.
"Seventh sister, let's go ahead, it's already this hour." Tao Jun said, motioning for Jingyi to get into the sedan chair.
Jingyi didn't see Fu, she was a little confused, thinking that it was indeed not early, and she didn't have time to ask, so she got into the sedan chair and left. The sedan chair man carried the sedan chair and walked quickly, sending Jingyi to Xuanrui Hall smoothly......
She walked up the stairs quickly, and as she listened intently, she could hear voices inside.
Chen's mother said that the seventh young grandmother was early, and when she entered the door, she saw the fourth aunt and grandmother, and called her aunt and grandmother.
Tao Yinqing glanced at her and smiled, "Go in, it's all inside." β
Jingyi was swept by her hook-like gaze, and was suddenly a little embarrassed, Chen's mother informed her, she stepped in, only to find that even her in-laws, aunts and grandmothers had also come-but she came late this morning, and everyone gathered so together--After she had asked for peace, she sat at the end of the table, only to know that her in-laws were here, and they were also here to discuss the matter of celebrating the birthday of the old grandmother for two days.
Mrs. Tao meant not to make a big fuss, and said: "It's not clear that you can't make a big deal about your birthday every year." β
"Mother, the seventh child is also back, this time it was a big victory, everyone up and down is happy, it's better to take this opportunity to have fun." Mrs. Tao persuaded.
Mrs. Tao pondered for a moment, looked at her son and daughter-in-law, and said, "Then it's up to you." But don't alarm too many people, the more this time, the more it is better to save money...... Sheng Chuan's body, I think it has been much better in recent days, so it can be seen that it is best to work less; As for Lao Qi, I also have to mention him, he can be calm, and calm. β
Jingyi lowered her head, and suddenly felt a burst of heaviness in her heart, and inexplicably moved, now in the eyes of outsiders, the Tao family is prosperous, and it is inevitable that there is a hot cooking oil, icing on the cake, but the old grandmother is so calm at this juncture......
β¦β¦
When Tao Xiang opened his eyes, his arm was put to his side, and it was empty.
He did not move, but lay quietly, and after a while his mind cleared. Looking at the sky, it is already the third pole of the sun...... He could barely remember the last time he opened his eyes like this, this hour, the day of the year. At this time, I was stuck on the soft bed, and I didn't want to move, as if I was stuck by something. And the bed tent hangs low, the garnet red bottom, and the festive Baizi picture. Looking closely, there are really hundreds of childish naΓ―ve...... He remembered the first time he saw the tent in the afternoon. She was taking a nap, and he didn't alarm her. His body was covered with a thin quilt, and his thin white feet were exposed outside the quilt, and the bed tent was hung on one side with a gold hook, and the other half hung down...... Their bed is a Western-style bed, and the tents are all hung in gold velvet as they are, and they are replaced with this red dazzling silk bed net, which subtracts some luxury and adds some charm. Although this tent was not originally worthy of this bed, it still looks good when hung up...... He didn't pay attention to these things, but he also looked at the exquisite embroidery for a long time. She didn't move until he left the room that day. In fact, she had woken up a long time ago......
Tao Xiang stretched, clenched his fists, and picked up a corner of the bed tent, but there was no half of the figure outside.
He was ready to sleep a little longer.
I don't know how long it took, but he heard a small and broken sound, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
Jingyi has returned from Xuanrui Hall.
She was holding a white agate bowl with lychees in it.
As in previous years, the lychees were flown in from Guangxi. In the past two years, Bai Wenmo has personally handled it, and this year, Wenmo and Eryi are newly married Yan'er, which coincides with his grandmother's birthday.
In her opinion, the birthday gift is not enough, but the joy and satisfaction in Er Yi's letter make the family even more happy.
Chatting happily, the old lady asked about Tao Xiang, and she said that Tao Xiang was still resting.
A room full of people listened to her naturally say "he's still resting" while silent. After a moment, they talked about something else. This "coincidence" seems a little too deliberate, but it makes her a little embarrassed. Maybe it was because she was a little uncomfortable, the old lady said that Brother Xiang likes to eat lychees, remember to bring it to him when he goes back, just taken out of the ice cellar, it is still cold.
She said yes.
After sitting for a while, her mother-in-law reminded her that she should go back to the room quickly, seeing that it was noon, should the seventh child also get up, and if she didn't get up again, lunch would be delayed.
She wished there was a word that would allow her to go back to her room sooner. Although it may be more uncomfortable to go back to the room and face Tao Xiang alone, the feeling of being so present and suddenly paying attention to her makes her inevitably panic......
Jingyi looked at the white agate bowl, red lychee, white white, red red, very good-looking. When I turned my head, the bed tent was hanging, and the person on the bed still didn't want to get up. She tugged at her sleeve. Xiangyun yarn's wide-sleeved shirt, she specially chose a long-sleeved shirt to wear.
As soon as the third aunt and grandmother saw her in the morning, they asked Jingyi why she was wearing so dense today? It's going to be hot today...... I saw that the lotus flowers were blooming.
She can't wear it tightly......
Jing Yi's face was hot. Raise your hand and pick up the folding fan and fan it twice.
I heard a voice outside, and listened carefully, the voice was low. After a while, Qiu Wei came in and whispered that Mrs. had sent someone. Jingyi put away the fan and went out, and it was Ke'er. Ke'er saluted, saying that the old lady and the wife had something to say, and it was hot, so that the seventh young and the seventh young grandmother didn't have to make rules with the previous children. What you want to eat, you told the kitchen and sent it. In addition, his wife asked him to send some supplements to Grandma Qishao......
Jingyi stood and listened, and sent Qiu Wei to send Ke'er out, looking at the pile of things on the table.
Qiu Wei came back and saw Jingyi in a daze, so she began to pack her things. First opened the rain-soaked azure porcelain jar, Qiu Wei whispered, "Miss, do you want to eat a little?" It's bird's nest snow clams. Qiu Wei said, covering the jar. Her young lady, these things have always been reluctant to touch. Sure enough, Jingyi frowned.
"Let's put it on hold for now." She said.
"Wait a minute, my wife will send someone to collect it, okay if you don't drink it?" Qiu Wei reminded in a whisper. Seeing that Jingyi didn't object again, he gave her a small bowl. "Eat a little bit at the scene. Besides, the weather is so hot, should Miss make up for it. If Mrs. doesn't send it, Mother Zhang has to think of a way to stew this and that for you. β
Jingyi thinks about it too. I don't know how many things I eat every day. If you don't want to eat, Zhang's mother has a lot of reasoning, and she is willing to eat it obediently...... She took the bowl and sighed.
Qiu Wei looked at her helplessly, and couldn't help but smile: "Look at your grievances, others don't want to have such treatment!" Zhang's mother was happy and said that she knew that you would not be able to go abroad this year...... Miss, are you really not leaving this time? Didn't Mr. Hu and Miss Ren call to ask if they want to buy train tickets again? How did the young lady reply to them? The luggage is still piled up there, so it's fine. β
Qiu Wei blinked and paused what she was doing. Jingyi scooped a spoonful of bird's nest and put it in her mouth and looked at her.
The bedroom door opened, and Tao Xiang came out of it.
"Uncle." Qiu Wei hurriedly saluted. After a while, by packing up his things, he went downstairs.
Jingyi saw Tao Xiang change into a homely shirt and pants, obviously just after taking a shower. When he came to sit down, she brought him another bowl of bird's nest.
Tao Xiang frowned when he saw it.
"Mother asked me to send it, so let's eat it." Jingyi said, handing him the bird's nest.
Seeing this, Tao Xiang had no choice but to take it and eat it.
Jingyi got up and went into the room to wash her hands. I caught a glimpse that the bed had been neatly packed up, and I couldn't help but be stunned. When she turned around and saw Tao Xiang also coming in, she walked to the bathroom and said, "When I came back from my grandmother, my grandmother asked me to bring you some lychees." β
Tao Xiang looked at the lychees on the table and said, "Didn't they all come on time, why do you have to get them back?" β
He took a lychee in his hand. Under the agate bowl is an ice cube, and the lychee is cold and cold.
Jingyi washed her hands and came out, but she didn't answer him, just came over, sat down too, took one, and peeled the shell.
Tao Xiang saw that she was lazy and responded, and he didn't ask. The two of them sat quietly in one place, each peeling the lychee - the dark red hard shell was removed, and the pink film inside was completely peeled off to reveal the transparent flesh. There was a sweet smell of honey in the room...... Jingyi sniffed. It tastes so sweet. It doesn't taste great, but it smells pleasant. At this time, Tao Xiang was very close to her, and seeing that she was just staring at the peeled lychee in a daze, he decisively reached out and snatched the lychee, and threw it into his mouth while he was stunned.
Jing Yi looked at Tao Xiang's rather scoundrel look, and was stunned for a while. The fingers of peeling lychee shells are a little yellowish and astringent...... Tao Xiang took her hand and said, "I want to." β
Jingyi opened her mouth, shook her hand, didn't shake it, and said angrily: "Come by yourself." β
Tao Xiang spit the lychee kernel into the crystal saucer, and said with a smile: "You said it." β
Jingyi snatched her hand, "I said it." As he spoke, he stood up, Tao Xiang used force in his hand, and pulled her into his arms, Jingyi couldn't stand steadily, and fell on his lap, "You! β
She suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and her embarrassed face burned with fire. twisted her hands to leave, where did Tao Xiang let her escape so easily?
"Let go." She whispered. In broad daylight, although it is in the room, people can bump into it, what kind of system is this.
Tao Xiang was silent.
Jingyi was panicked, anxious, and helpless, and sweaty on her forehead.
The cicadas chirped outside the window, which made people even more irritable.
And Tao Xiang's face is so close.
His neckline was open, and there was his white, dizzying skin. She hurriedly turned her face away.
Too close, too close...... The heart is beating like that.
Tao Xiang tightened his arms and let Jingyi lean into his arms.
"Jingyi," he whispered, his burning breath on her neck, "why didn't you answer when Qiu Wei asked you that just now?" β
