Jingyi was speechless. Shu Xuan

What the hell is Tao Xiang busy with, she really can't say how ugly she is for a while.

Tao Shengchun smiled.

"Brother Xiang doesn't like flowers and grass. Brother Jun and Eryi came on Sunday. Your sister-in-law simply doesn't have time to come, just let's have a fun with us idlers. Old Madam Tao said with a smile.

Jingyi took tea from Jin Xuan and offered her a concubine.

Mrs. Tao looked at her, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "If you want me to say it, it's fine...... Jingyi, you can go to live in Yuyuan by yourself, and don't mix with us old women, young daughters-in-law, and we ugly old women are in the same place, it is better to be cleaner yourself. ”

"Sister-in-law, I don't like to hear this. You're ugly, and I'm young. Tao Yinrun took a feather fan and fanned it. Squinted at Jingyi and said, "I said, niece and granddaughter-in-law, I'm also thirsty." ”

Jingyi smiled and came over to serve tea to the Tao Inze sisters one by one.

In fact, they each have a girl and a mother-in-law who follow, but as soon as they entered the door, they were sent to clean up their respective residences, and they didn't follow anymore. She is the only one who is young at the moment.

Tao Yinqing said with a smile: "Although Lao Qi is busy and can't go home, we brought his daughter-in-law out, so I don't know how to hate us." I see, in a day or two, I will chase after ......."

"Hey, the seventh doesn't like flowers and grass? No, Grandma! Tauran smiled. She had just sent her three naughty sons, and when she came back, she heard this and couldn't help but say. looked at Jingyi, and then stopped at the right time.

"That's it, sister-in-law don't be busy saying that he doesn't like flowers and grass. That depends on when. Tao Yinrun was not as kind as Er'an, and said with a smile.

Jingyi's face was hot at what these aunts and grandmothers said.

Tao Xiang has been very busy lately, and he really can't get out of his body to enjoy the flowers.

Sure enough, within two days, Tao Jun's family took Eryi to the town together, and Tao Xiang didn't show up.

Tao Jun and his wife brought several letters to Jingyi. Some came from Peking and some came from Nanjing. Others are the first, and Jingyi is the happiest to receive her mother's letter.

"The seventh sister received the letter from home, so happy?" Fu Lizhen saw that Jingyi was in a good mood, and asked in front of everyone.

Tao Jun also looked at Jingyi.

Jing Yi was really smiling.

He couldn't help but smile.

"Jingyi is homesick, right? Or is there something happy in the family letter? Let's listen to it, and let's have fun. Mrs. Tao asked with a smile.

Jingyi smiled and said, "Grandma...... I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'll tell you what the letter says. ”

Her voice was very soft, and the people in the room, except for the lively and active young master of the Fu family, who was still playing by himself, and the eldest lady Er'an who was still shaking the camera of the new gadget, all stopped, and their eyes converged on her.

"In the last letter, I told my mother how good the scenery of the northwest is, but I didn't know that Li Bai's 'desert is lonely and straight, and the sun sets on the long river' is true...... I thought that the winter here was about the same as Beiping, the wind could blow people away, and the cold weather could make people cry cold, and if you didn't pay attention, the wind and sand were big, and the sun was red...... "Jingyi said with a smile.

Everyone was listening, only Tao Jun pulled the corner of his mouth, and Fu Shi saw it and added some tea to his cup.

"Huh?" Tao Inze couldn't help but speak, "Something is wrong." ”

"Hmm." Qilin'er answered.

Tao Jun laughed, touched Qilin'er's head, and gently shushed.

"My mother replied, but she didn't say anything else, just said, Xiao Shi, write a letter next time, remember that "A Thousand Family Poems" was copied from the beginning, which is considered the homework you handed me over. And, in the future, whether it is a casual conversation with a person or an exchange of letters, if you quote a poem, you may be able to check it first......" Jingyi said this, and finally couldn't help laughing and winked at Qilin'er.

Qilin'er said loudly: "'Desert Lonely Smoke' is Wang Wei's poem!" ”

"Yes!" Jing Yi smiled, blushing or something.

The whole room laughed, not all because of this little mistake she made, but watching her smile like a flower, I couldn't help but be infected by her happy face.

"You kid, you can laugh like that." Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "It can be seen that your mother is really strict in teaching you. It's just a clerical error, is it possible to really hand in your homework? ”

Jingyi smiled and rubbed her eyes.

She can finally understand what a family letter is worth 10,000 dollars.

The spirit of her mother's words also swept away her anxiety for many days...... Now it can be seen that she is probably overthinking.

……

At night, Jingyi sat in the room, holding her cheeks, and Qiu Wei combing her hair.

Just bathed out, hair is half-dry.

Qiu Wei took the ivory comb carved with plum blossoms, put it in the middle of her hair, watched the ivory comb slide down the hair, she squatted down to catch it, and then put it on......

"Qiu Wei." Jingyi helplessly watched the childish Qiu Wei take the trouble to play this game, and she had already played with a cup of tea.

"Miss, the new French shampoo is very good. You see, the hair is very smooth. Qiu Wei said happily, "It's still fragrant." ”

"It's all said, if you like it, just use it." Jingyi lowered her head, her hair was long, thick, and draped behind her back like satin. As soon as it moved, the silk slid up flutteringly, "What's good, but it's not easy to comb up, but it takes some hair wax." ”

Qiu Wei chuckled and said, "I don't think you like hair wax." ”

"Hmm." Jingyi also smiled. Picking up the bottle of perfume from the dresser, it smelled the same as shampoo, and she didn't use it much. One day, the third aunt and Mrs. came to visit her, saw it, and said that her bottle was dropped by the girl, and she was distressed, so she asked her to take a bottle.

She never bothered to think about these things.

Shan remembered that this was the day Atul came in and put down two boxes of this. There are a lot of things inside, all French goods. Attu only said that the Seventh Young Master asked him to send it back, and he didn't know where he got it......

The perfume bottle slid out of his hand and rolled on the dressing table.

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Miss?" Qiu Wei stopped playing. The ivory comb in his hand. Jing Yi looked at it and reached out to take it.

"You go and rest." She whispered.

"Wasn't it okay just now? Why are you suddenly unhappy again? Qiu Wei asked curiously, "There are so many good things in the family letter, so Miss should think about the good things more...... You see, the Ninth Young Master is going to get married, and Miss Seven and Miss Eight are also going to get married...... Maybe, the next letter, it's time to listen to Miss Flawless and the third young *** happy letter......"

"You girl...... I went out for a walk. Jingyi stood up. Qiu Wei sighed, silently took a cloak, and followed behind Jing Yi. Jingyi put on a jacket and walked out, but it was still very cold at night. She turned around and took the cloak from Qiu Wei's hand, "You go make the bed first." ”

"It's in the garden, not far?" Qiu Wei asked.

Jing Yi pouted. Qiu Wei stood up obediently. She also stood under the porch for a while. The garden is full of pear trees, the pear blossoms are gorgeous, the moonlight is hazy, and the pear clouds are like snow...... It's different from what it looks like during the day.

Jingyi lowered her head.

The soil under the trees is soft.

Short branches swept across her hairline. The pear blossoms blow on the face, and there is a hint of gentle coolness.

Jing Yi's hand clasped on the branch.

There seemed to be a breeze blowing behind him.

She was always amazed at how windless it was every day...... But once the wind rises, it chills to the marrow.

Before she knew it, she had walked out of the side door of the Garden of Fools.

Walking out of the door of this month, it was a small patio, boxy, and there were no flowers and trees, not even a stone, but a patch of grass. Jingyi saw that the grass was neatly trimmed, and there was not a single weed and idle flower, and knew that it was specially planted. She couldn't bear to step on it, so she only moved slowly. After walking for a while, I looked up at this courtyard, in front of a row of large houses with wide eaves, the lights were on in the house, and strings of sheep's horn headlamps hung under the eaves, so the green grass in the courtyard was like a green blanket under the light...... Jingyi heard a voice behind her, but she didn't pay attention at first. Walking on the grass with her skirt in her hand, carefully.

"Hasn't Seventh Sister rested so late?"

Jingyi was stunned for a moment, and heard Tao Jun's voice, and when she looked back, she called her eldest brother. I was a little restrained, so I hurriedly let go and put my dress in order.

Tao Jun sat in a wheelchair and looked at her. His face was calm and serene in the light.

Jing Yi looked behind him, the door was wide open, it was not like the usual room had a threshold, obviously this was especially for him. It's just that Fushun, who is inseparable from him on weekdays, is not by his side.

"Disturb the big brother to rest." Jingyi said apologetically.

"Nothing. I changed the environment at first, and I couldn't sleep for a while, so I just came out to breathe. Tao Jun said gently, "This grass was proposed by the seventh brother that year, and it has been raised for many years. ”

Jing Yi was originally going to leave immediately, but when he heard him talk about this green grass, he stopped.

"The northwest is dry, and it is not easy for flowers and trees to survive. It turned out that if it was cultivated, other courtyards in the villa would also be planted. He thinks there are only pear blossoms here, which is too monotonous. Tao Jun said, rolling his wheelchair. The wheels pressed against the edge of the lawn and stopped.

Jingyi didn't want this lawn to have such a history, so she couldn't help but look down again. Short, soft blades of grass were densely packed in one place, and in the moonlight, a layer of silver frost seemed to be sprinkled.

"Presumably, the seventh brother doesn't remember this himself. It's just that he was also very interested at the beginning. Fu Lizhen also came out of the house and said softly.

When Jingyi saw her, she called out to her sister-in-law and said, "It's also me who is reckless, and I came over at this time and alarmed my sister-in-law and brother-in-law." ”

Fu Lizhen held Tao Jun's wheelchair and said with a smile: "Where can it be considered alarmed." The seventh sister is too outward. It's just that I just saw you out the window, and I was really shocked...... Don't you say? The seventh sister was just standing on the grass, did she look like Mizhen? ”

Tao Jun listened, looked at Jingyi, and smiled: "It's cold at night, Seventh Sister should go back early." Greedy for flowers and plants, infected with wind and cold, the gains outweigh the losses. Come back tomorrow morning, this meadow will be viewed during the day, and it will be another way. ”

"Yes." Jingyi said goodnight and quietly returned the same way.

She walked a few steps, walked to the middle of the lawn, and looked back to see that Tao Jun and his wife were still looking at her. She smiled and walked away quickly. But knowing that the eyes of the two of them were always following her, she couldn't help but walk faster and faster. Passing through the moon cave door, she had to stop to catch her breath. Her heart was beating faster as she was racing, and she pressed against her chest to calm herself.

Not far away, a deep shadow under the pear tree.

The heavy shadow came this way, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.

His heart was pounding, he opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Tao Xiang had already walked up to her, looked at her dumbfounded, and said, "I'll pick you up." ”

Jingyi was stunned.

Tao Xiao didn't explain immediately, just looked behind her, took her hand and walked back.

"What do you say...... What to go back to? Jingyi panicked, and Tao Xiang pulled her to go in a hurry. She only had a pair of embroidered shoes under her feet, and it was inevitable that she would have to walk hard when she stepped on the soft ground.

Tao Xiang didn't have the slightest intention of slowing down.

Jingyi couldn't help but feel angry, and she was also stubborn, so she simply didn't say a word, and dragged him back to the room.

Seeing that the two of them looked wrong, Qiu Wei didn't dare to follow up.

Entering the house, Jing Yi shook off Tao Xiang's hand and glared angrily: "You are inexplicable......

Tao Xiang handed her an envelope.

Jing Yi took it and looked at him suspiciously.

Tao Xiang turned around, put his hand on the back of the chair, and said, "A telegram from home." ”

Jingyi's heart trembled violently for no reason, and she hurriedly opened the envelope and pulled out the telegram.

"Sister Jingyi: My mother is critically ill, return quickly. Brother is cautious. Jingyi's hand trembled, this line was less than twenty words, she looked at it again and again, "This ...... What does this mean...... What do you mean? ”

Tao Xiang said: "Aunt Yu is seriously ill. ”

"I just received my mother's letter today, how can I be seriously ill!" Jing Yi held the letter in the palm of her hand and glared at Tao Xiang, "This is impossible...... No way! ”

Tao Xiang was silent for a moment and said, "Let Qiu Wei pack up her things, and we'll leave as soon as it's dawn." I'll go back with you. ”
