Chapter 21: The Unruly Wind (11)
Yun Hu is not happy, Chapter 21 The Unruly Wind (11)
"Cheng Jingyi. "Tao Xiang whispered.
"Hmm." She was languid and tired, clinging to him. When he is emotional, he will call her Yi, a gentle word, gentle and charming.
"In the future, this is not allowed." He said sullenly.
She didn't respond.
He looked down at her, dazed, wondering if he was already asleep.
He reached out and turned off the light.
In the dark, the warm fragrance that had just been thick and strong seemed to be getting stronger and stronger......
When he slept deeply, he felt that a hand was touching him gently, with a hint of coolness and a little pain.
When he opened his eyes, Jing Yi was taking a cotton ball to wipe the wound on his neck, and when she saw that he was awake, she whispered, "Don't move." โ
It was already dawn, and she was already fully dressed. Roll up your sleeves and treat his wounds. The wound had begun to scab over, a little red and swollen, and she was worried that it would become inflamed.
Tao Xiang really didn't move, letting her slowly make herself feel pain.
Seeing that he was silent, Jingyi said, "It's time to get up...... Grandma called and asked us to go over and use it early. Fathers and mothers will pass too. โ
Tao Xiang was silent.
Jing Yi saw that his eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly. Who doesn't know that there must be a saying for this breakfast...... Although he didn't speak, he must have had a lot of thoughts at this time. She gently wiped the extra potion from the wound for him.
He can really endure the pain......
"I can't get over it, right?" Jingyi propped her arms on the edge of the bed, looked at Tao Xiang with her cheeks, and asked in a low voice. Tao Xiang still closed his eyes, but raised his hand to touch her face, rubbing it gently. Jingyi shook his hand, "It's not that you don't know, he is sick, and he won't remember what he said or did when he woke up." And the matter of his sister-in-law stimulated him too much...... I've been watching for the past few days, maybe he didn't think before, if something happened to her, he seemed to collapse. Over the years, in fact, his sister-in-law has been his pillar...... He was willing to let her go, but she couldn't let go of the obsession in her heart. There's no way around it...... Pastik? โ
He was clearly listening to her, but he couldn't tell if he was listening.
"Makiyuki, are you up or not?" She frowned.
Tao Xiang got up, and the quilt slipped off him.
He kissed her on the lips and made her stop.
"Pack your luggage, come with me, and accompany them to Dunhuang." Tao Xiang said, turning over and getting up. Glancing back at Jingyi, who was stunned there, he picked up his nightgown and draped it on his body, "Let's go again." โ
Jingyi was unexpected.
She knew that. Mr. Fontaine has seen the cultural relics of the Mogao Grottoes in England, and he has also met many scholars in Beiping who have called for the protection of the Mogao Grottoes. I mentioned it that day and said I was very interested in going and having a look. This is a private tour and does not count as part of the official arrangement. At that time, Tao Xiang did not agree to arrange it for him. I don't really agree with what he means.
"The two of them are weird and funny. In this way, although China is proficient, I am afraid that many Chinese will be ashamed of their mastery of some knowledge. Jingyi said. Tao Xiang entered the bathroom, "Don't you want them to go?" โ
Tao Xiang later mentioned the reason to Jin Biquan. He had visited the site once and was not satisfied with the situation. 1 It stands to reason that it should be protected, but when wars break out and the people are struggling to make a living, this matter has never attracted attention.
Tao Xiang and Bi Quan were embarrassed when they said it. The first time they saw the artifacts of the Mogao Grottoes was in England.
"Shame." Bi Quan ended the conversation with two words.
Tao Xiang just drank all the wine in the cup and didn't make an evaluation.
However, as far as his mind is concerned, it is impossible not to have thoughts about such things...... Jingyi followed and saw Tao Xiang washing his face - he didn't want to go, but now he not only wants to go by himself but also take her with him, and the meaning of avoiding trouble is too obvious. She didn't mind accompanying him on a trip, let alone being able to spend a few more days with Flawless, but she always felt that the timing was not appropriate.
Tao Xiang has always been filial. It's so obvious to give people a look, I don't know if it will approve the dragon scales...... She hesitated to speak up to persuade him. But because she couldn't be clearer about his mind at this time, it was difficult to say words of persuasion.
Jingyi was thinking about how to say tactfully, Tao Xiang had already shaved her face, and seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, she asked, "Don't want to go?" โ
He came out to change his uniform.
If she really doesn't want to go, of course she can't go against her will...... "If my grandmother is against it, I won't go." She said.
Tao Xiang was wearing boots, stepping on the bottom, his face suddenly became a little gloomy, he looked at her, and said, "You are my wife." โ
Tao Xiang didn't say any more, but he didn't pay attention to Jingyi when he went out.
Jing Yi knew that he couldn't hear what he said, but he didn't feel embarrassed, just looked at him, and suddenly looked like a child with a temper. When he talks with Qilin'er before going out, he is more like a child...... For Qilin'er and Yan Yuese, when there were only the two of them when they went out, they still kept a straight face.
Passing by the gate of Tan Yuan, Tao Xiang specially parked the car. Jingyi was surprised, and Tao Xiang looked at her. "Just know that you don't have to worry too much about the patient," she said. โ
Tao Xiang snorted. When he was about to get out of the car, Tan Yuan's cleaning handyman heard the sound of the car in the door and hurriedly came out to say goodbye, and called Tan Yuan's steward to come out, saying that the eldest young master had just gone to sleep. Tao Xiang didn't move, and asked him to tell him that he would come to visit later.
"I think it was yesterday that I tossed all night, and my mother was probably tired." Jingyi said.
She looked at Tao Xiang and just drove, and he didn't seem to listen to what she said.
When he arrived at Xuanrui Hall, Jing Yi was still worried that his calm face was not good-looking. I don't want him to look the same as usual, and even look more at ease than usual...... This really made Jingyi breathtaking. On the contrary, she was somewhat caught off guard by Tao Xiang's performance and looked stunned. The two were so out of tune, and after a while, Mrs. Tao and Tao Shengchuan and his wife could see that the two of them were making trouble again, but no one said anything, and although the breakfast was too dull, it was also harmonious.
Jing Yi looked at Mrs. Tao, who was more taciturn than usual, because of the cold that had not healed, obviously she didn't have a good rest last night, although she had carefully retouched her makeup, she still couldn't hide her fatigue...... She couldn't help but look at her twice. Mrs. Tao didn't seem to notice it, and sat there as usual, listening to Tao Xiang's father and son talking to the old lady, occasionally involving her, before saying a word or two.
Jingyi suddenly heard Tao Xiang saying that he was going to take her to Dunhuang with her, so she hurriedly put down her spoon and listened to the following.
"There's less to do on this trip, and I'd like to go there too. It was arranged, and the round trip was only three or five days. Tao Xiang said.
Tao Shengchuan looked at Mrs. Tao and said, "Since that's the case, let's go together." What does Mother have to say? โ
Old Madam Tao smiled and said, "Of course, it's only polite to take my wife there." Jingyi will work hard and accompany her. โ
"Yes." Jingyi agreed.
Old Madam Tao continued: "There is one thing, you have to take care of Yi'er. โ
Tao Xiang nodded.
"What else do you have to tell them?" Old Madam Tao looked at Mrs. Tao and asked.
"I don't have anything in particular to instruct, Mother. Jingyi is careful and thoughtful about everything. Madame Tao said, as if she suddenly remembered, "Mr. and Mrs. Fontaine are distinguished guests, you should not only, but leave the guests alone." โ
"Yes, Mother." Jingyi nodded in agreement.
"There are no other instructions. It's cold over there in the morning and evening, be careful, don't get sick. Mrs. Tao said.
"Mother is really long-winded." Tao Xiang finally couldn't help but say when he heard this.
Mrs. Tao smiled, nodded, and said, "Then I won't say it." โ
After running out of breakfast, Tao Xiang wanted to go to the headquarters, and by the way, he wanted to send Mrs. Tao back to rest, but let Jingyi take a sedan chair to Luo Ruitang by herself. Jingyi saw that the weather was good in the morning, so she wanted to take a walk and relax, and when the car drove away, she left...... Watching their figures disappear at the gate, Mrs. Tao and Tao Shengchuan, who were walking in the courtyard, glanced at each other.
Mrs. Tao said: "Brother Xiang'er has this temperament, and it is a loss for Jingyi to grind with him." Even my own grandson, I have to say, those who wait for leisure can't stand it. โ
Tao Shengchuan said: "It's okay outside. โ
"Not necessarily outside, right? Last time, there were two fire collapses in Qishan, how many days have it been? Old Madam Tao frowned.
"There is a reason for this." Tao Shengchuan said.
Mrs. Tao didn't ask, sighed again, and said, "Your father, you, now have Brother Xiang'er, I'm afraid that Jun'er will be added, it's not a human temper...... Only Ah Si is more mellow, and being stubborn is unbearable. Fortunately, I also married Yamei's good daughter-in-law...... It's not me who says, it's you, thanks to Defen. โ
Tao Shengchuan was silent for a moment, walked back with the old lady in his arms, and said, "I know it in my heart, mother." โ
Mrs. Tao didn't want to say more, so she said: "She treats Brother Xiang sincerely." can do drama in two days a day, and it is not easy to do it for 30 years...... Thinking that it may also be the fifth or sixth child who died early, give her a seventh, it will be the same as her own child...... Jun'er's matter, I think she is very shocked. I haven't seen her lose her color for so many years, and this time she is so haggard, I feel uncomfortable looking at it. If it's true, she is also old, and her mind is not as good as before. Where is there anyone who can resist age, where is there someone who can count fate......"
Tao Shengchuan sat with his old mother, listening to her talking to himself softly while smoking a hookah.
He suddenly remembered a lot of things, but maybe they would never be said to anyone again......

A week later, Tao Xiang and his wife had accompanied the ambassador to Dunhuang.
Their dwellings were rudimentary, provided by the Taoist priests who cared for the Mogao Grottoes. This was a private itinerary for Mr. Fontaine, and he didn't want to alarm the local government. However, there was movement in Tao Xiang's operation, and the small passenger plane wanted to find a suitable place for temporary airport landing, so it went back and forth for a few days, and when it arrived, it was impossible to let people pay attention. It's just that Tao Xiang also wanted to be quieter, and since he arrived here, except for his entourage, other people's visits have all declined.
"No wonder people call it a desert oasis. From the air, it looks like a green space out of thin air in the desert and the Gobi. Flawless said to Jing Yi beside him.
Mr. and Mrs. Fang Dan are accustomed to getting up, but Tao Xiang and Bi Quan have to deal with some official business early in the morning, the two of them have nothing to do, they are still early in the morning, come out for a walk, the Thousand Buddha Cave on the stone wall can go from one end to the other, and they are not tired of it.
Jing Yi was looking at the clear river below from the bridge, nodded when she heard this, and said, "The site selection must have been very careful back then. However, it has been handed down to the present, and these things are not easy to preserve. โ
I have been here for two days, and I have been led by the Taoist priest who cares for the Thousand Buddha Caves to visit twice. There are many monks who live in this area, whether it is a monk who reads the scriptures, a gold and stone family who rubs the seals, or a painter who studies murals, most of them are good, and there are also those who peel off several layers of paintings from later generations for the so-called study of the murals of the previous generation, which makes people feel sad to watch.
"Was Makiyuki seriously angry yesterday?" Flawless asked with a smile.
Jingyi nodded and said, "He is helpless. Decades ago, Daoist Wang wanted the imperial court to pay attention to this place, didn't he let foreigners take the lead again and again? โ
"I don't think he's angry, but it's not just for that." Flawless pulled Jingyi and thought, "Do you know about the Northeast? โ
Jingyi nodded and said, "I've heard some." โ
"If the innocent is here, she may be able to speak the head of the Tao. I don't understand that. However, Biquan also often said that the Japanese have been in the northeast for a long time, and there seems to be a tendency to divide the territory and divide the territory, and in the long run, I am afraid that there will be no peace everywhere. Flawless whispered, shaking his head, "Of course this is not tolerated." โ
Jingyi stopped, and the attendants who followed the two of them not far also stopped. In the morning light, their gray military uniforms were crisp and decent, and they looked more and more heroic...... It's not that she didn't hear Tao Xiang and Jin Biquan's discussion, and in just a few words, she could already hear his anger at the Northeast Army and even the upper echelons for appeasement and adultery.
"It seems that Chief Suo is more worried about the growing white bandits. I heard that I am going to order the suppression of bandits in the near future......" Flawless frowned. looked at Jingyi thoughtfully and smiled, "We'll leave in two days, when will you come to see me?" โ
"I've been away from home for a long time, I miss Little Beibei, right?" Jingyi asked with a smile.
"No, I thought most about the day or two I left home, and these few days are fine." Flawless also smiled. She leaned against the stone railing, facing the direction of the rising sun, "It's quiet here, and I'm in the mood to have another baby." โ
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, and then she called out, "Second cousin, what you said was this, you thought you were the third cousin......
"No one else hears me, why, can't I tell you? It's not like you haven't married......" Flawless saw her blushing and teased her. "If you think about it, it's pure, people's hearts are free of distractions, and it's light for daily use. I see that Biquan has been refreshed for the past two days, and he looks a little cute. โ
Jing Yi was about to say something, but Flawless stopped her instead.
"Shh Flawless smiled and pointed to the other end of the bridge, "They're coming." โ
