Chapter 17: The Hidden Star (10)
Jing Yi has never had the slightest whisper about this. In addition to attending classes in the study every day, she takes care of the daily life of Mrs. Tao and her aunt. I don't know when she started to take on this errand. Over time, the reputation of the seventh young grandmother's virtuous and filial piety gradually spread...... Jing Yi thought that filial piety probably came from her dedication to serving the Venerable Master; As for Xianhui, she doesn't know if it's because she never interferes with Tao Xiang's affairs outside.
However, this does not prevent Tao Xiang from coming forward once she needs to come forward for something, and when the phone call comes back, she will freshen up and dress up and go out. But dressing up for an event like a cocktail reception was an easy errand for her to handle. She always dealt with him very well. Of course, Tao Xiang tried not to disturb her purity unless necessary. So she often thinks about it, and she also feels that her virtuousness really has the meaning of sitting back and enjoying it. In addition, Tao Xiang did not restrict her activities, nor did she hinder her social activities...... She thought it might be some sort of quid pro quo.
It seems that a few years ago, when she was studying in Shanghai, when her homework was not tight and she couldn't breathe, she would go to a movie with Dongning, go to the quiet Huangpu Park like a banquet in neat clothes, and go to Sacred Heart Hospital to volunteer without regard for her image...... She was a hard-working student then, and she still is. However, the company around him has changed from Dongning to sister-in-law Eryi, and there are also movies and plays, and most of them will go to the nursery school.
On this day, Jingyi went to the hospital to get the examination report before going to Shichuan. It is a routine physical examination, which has to be done every once in a while for the past two years. When Ren Xiufang came out and saw her holding the report, she couldn't help asking, "Did you do the inspection again?" Still nothing, right? ”
Jingyi smiled and nodded.
Ren Xiufang endured it, because she was already familiar with Jingyi, or said: "The government also attaches too much importance to the heirs." ”
Jing Yi smiled again.
Of course, it is important to pay attention to. In the past two years, in addition to those discussions about her going to school and going out, it is gossip about the seventh young master and his wife who have been married for three years and have no children. If Jingyi is allowed to express his opinion to the outside world, he can prevaricate with the reason that Tao Xiang does not come home often. Tao Xiang not only does not often go home, but when he comes back, they are often upstairs and downstairs...... It's just that outsiders won't know about it; What they know is that the seventh young grandmother has tried countless medicines, but she still can't give birth to children.
Although the old grandmother prayed for a new grandson not to be a day or two, she still let her not pay attention to the gossip; The mother-in-law didn't say anything, but just urged her to check her body on time, which was enough to make her feel stressed. She couldn't blindly avoid it, so she had to endure the decoction pills prescribed by the old Chinese medicine doctor and regular hospital physical examinations.
The rumor of taking a concubine for the Seventh Young Master has only come out recently, and it is getting more and more intense. It seems that just waiting for the conclusion that the seventh young grandmother can't have children, it will be logical to pick someone for the seventh young master...... She knew that if it continued like this, sooner or later the rumors would become an incident that she had to face.
Tao Xiang never let go, and everyone before and after him looked like he didn't care about this. She knew that Tao Xiang might not not care, but that he was too busy to take care of these things. In the past two years, her studies have improved by leaps and bounds, and his territory has also been steadily established, and his position has been promoted to the commander of the Northwest Army. Tao Shengchuan completely retired from the Northwest Army and handed over power to Tao Xiang, and he only held the position of provincial chairman. Tao Xiang is in the Northwest Army, and his real prestige rises with the rise and consolidation of his status.
So Tao Xiang has Tao Xiang's troubles...... Family affairs and women are probably not within the scope of his troubles. Especially about women, Tao Xiang has never been worried about it. Even if there are women in and out of the Seventh Young Master's private residence, it will also be revealed to her intentionally or unintentionally...... Whether she is tempted or sympathized with her, she can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Instead of this, she thought about sitting down with Tao Xiang and talking about it again. Or if he has a heart, I don't know. The right opportunity was never found. He would either take the small meeting into the study until late at night when he came back, or he would be called away as soon as he entered the door...... If you come back in the evening, it's usually late. On the contrary, she couldn't stay up and had already fallen asleep, only to hear movement downstairs.
At that time, the white lion lying under the bed in her bedroom would open the door of room 61 and go downstairs, and she seemed to hear the sound of the white lion stepping on the stairs...... But he never came up.
When she gets up in the morning, she goes downstairs, and he is often gone.
Two days ago, he finally came back early, and she got up early to know that he was back. But he was drunk and fell asleep in the study...... I went in to see him still lying on the couch, drowsy and drunk.
Tao Xiang is also very conscious now, even if she is drunk, she will not come to trouble her.
They just have a tacit understanding of advancing and retreating together......
She called him twice and didn't wake up.
She sat down beside him and guarded him for a long time. Just watching, I have to feel hard for him.
She came out and quietly asked Atul, what happened to Qishao recently.
Atul was a little stumbling, and it was probably inconvenient to explain it to her clearly. Of course, she didn't ask about business, that was what she shouldn't have said. Atul only said that it was very cold last winter, and the weather was good and bad this spring, and many flowers and trees in the No. 7 yard were not maintained in time and froze to death. Seven little people didn't look happy, and said that they took advantage of this time to repair the garden, so that they were cleaned up and replanted......
Atul said that he didn't say why Tao Xiang drank so much wine. Tao Xiang has a good amount of wine, and it is rare to be so drunk. He didn't even notice that there was someone next to him and he sat for a long time...... She didn't think it was really just for the sake of ordering flowers and plants, maybe because something big was going to happen recently. At the beginning of the year, there was a large-scale rebellion in Xinjiang, and if Nanjing wanted to put down the rebellion, I am afraid that the Northwest Army would have to be mobilized. But Tao Xiang seems to be more interested in how to eliminate the white bandits under the Northwest Army, who are gradually expanding their power and forming a threat to Xinjiang, than to travel long distances into Xinjiang. After all, in his opinion, the increasingly active activities of the white bandits under his jurisdiction are the biggest trouble; Moreover, he has achieved quite results in several encirclement and suppression, and if he leads his troops westward at this time, he may miss a good opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots......
She has been Mrs. Tao for a long time, and her insight into the current situation has been honed little by little.
But the calm situation in the northwest has not come easily, and it is easy to recuperate and recuperate after two years, and the days of increasing prosperity have only just begun, and they are about to be broken again......
Jingyi looked down at the inspection report in her hand. I feel more and more that such a trivial matter is insignificant to her, so why bother Tao Xiang. She's still coping.
"No wonder. Fushang is such a big family. Ren Xiufang saw that Jingyi was silent for a long time, afraid that Meng Lang would hurt her heart, so she hurriedly went back to make up for it.
Jingyi smiled and said, "Yes." It's all like this......"
For example, the third sister-in-law, Suo Yanlin, finally confirmed her infertility in the United States that year, and the pain she experienced after that was very bearable. The third sister-in-law was originally a woman with a strong sense of career, so she became more and more attentive to her work...... She didn't know what kind of mood the third brother would have, she only knew that although Du's mother was sad, she had no choice but to accept the reality. Du's mother turned her attention to her wife, Hui An. Fortunately, in her opinion, her little daughter-in-law Hui'an is very competitive and wants a man. From the letter written by Du's mother, it is not difficult for Jingyi to see that she is satisfied with Hui'an. Even Zhishen seems to have become more and more smooth sailing after marrying Hui'an. However, Du's mother did not shy away from saying that her other big concern was her. I don't know how much I have thought of for her in the past two years......
Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
She is now afraid of receiving letters from home.
Scaleless, flawless, Hui'an...... They all talk about their babies. Immaculate speaks of her babbling son, Immaculate speaks of her toddler daughter, and Hui Ann describes how well-behaved that son is...... She can still laugh at these, and even Zhu Dongning, who is studying in the United States, has to tell her that she is raising her young son while studying, and talking to her about parenting, it is difficult for her to be calm.
It's only been two years, and she's already been overwhelmed by the baby boom......
"How?" Ren Xiufang asked.
"Nothing." Jing Yi smiled again.
Ren Xiufang looked at her and couldn't help but sigh. In the past two years, as a private tutor and even a friend, she is most familiar with Cheng Jingyi's smiling appearance. Knowing her, from the stunning surprise at the beginning, to the admiration for her intelligence and wisdom, and now to being familiar with her, I actually have deep pity...... The complicated feelings in her heart are not convenient to tell Cheng Jingyi and Pan.
Jing Yi looked at Ren Xiufang, and the smile on her face deepened.
She took another look at the report and put it away. Except for a few minor ailments, she is simply in good health. It's just that this report proves that she is very healthy, and it will not do much other than become a greater burden for her. She still has to be diagnosed by Dr. Wu, and she still has to take medicine...... According to traditional Chinese medicine, Gong Han is not easy to get pregnant.
"Doctor Ren, let's go quickly, otherwise we'll miss a meal when we get there." Jingyi said.
Ren Xiufang smiled and nodded.
The hospital is full of people, and it's certainly not a good place to chat. She walked out with Jingyi.
"Cheng Jingyi!" Someone shouted.
Jingyi stopped, recognized it as Xiao Dunlai, frowned, and was about to blame him for calling her like that in the hospital. Before he could speak, he saw Xiao Dunhuang holding his stomach and looking pained, and couldn't help asking, "Are you sick?" ”
"How can you be in the hospital if you don't get sick?" Xiao Dunhuang said angrily.
