Chapter 21: The Unruly Wind (5)

This girl has been with her for nearly 20 years, and they are inseparable.

Mrs. Tao was afraid that there was a big girl missing from her side, and it would be inconvenient to have fewer people, so she wanted to send her most powerful big girl, Jin Xuan, over. She didn't take it. She said that her condition had stabilized, and it was enough for Zhang's mother and Yue'er to take care of her. The old lady knew that she loved to be quiet, so she was not reluctant.

In the first few days, she would still call out Qiu Wei's name when she opened her mouth. shouted it out and realized that this girl is now a wife, so she can't help but sigh...... Fortunately, Zhang's mother and Yue's children were always there. Yue'er has been trained by Qiu Wei for several years, and she knows her habits well. It's just that Yue'er is not as clever as Qiu Wei, what she says, she often has to wait for Yue'er to react.

It seems as if the days are going to be long because of this.

Occasionally I go to bed after noon, and it will be dark......

On this day, Jingyi slept too much, and she lost sleep at night.

The months are getting bigger and bigger, and although she eats and sleeps well, she is inevitably nervous.

She listened to the slight snoring of Yue'er beside the bed, got up quietly, put on a dress and went out of the room.

She looked carefully at her feet, the white lion who slept here every night and tripped Yue'er or Qiuwei was not there tonight. She looked around, but she couldn't see where the white lion was.

There was only a small light in the living room, and the stairwell was also on. It's not bright, but it's enough to see the road underfoot. She wanted to take a walk in the living room and look at the moon on the balcony, so she went back to sleep. But when she reached the top of the stairs, she seemed to hear a noise below.

My heart is moving.

She carefully held on to the handrail and took a few steps down, then stopped, a little blaming herself for being suspicious. But he stopped, and did not immediately turn around and go up. Come to think of it, it's better to go downstairs lightly.

She stopped at the turn of the stairs.

The living room was dark, and not a single light was on.

Only then did I know how good the moonlight was tonight, and the curtains downstairs were not closed, and the bright moonlight poured in unscrupulously. In this large expanse of silver moonlight, there is a little red light, which is clearly extinguished.

She smelled a faint smell of smoke.

It's Tao Xiang.

He didn't know how long he had been sitting here...... But she stood there for a long time, and he didn't move. She watched as the red light vanished, and he remained seated. At his feet, lying on his stomach was a white lion. The white lion must have spotted her, but it just turned its head.

She was a little nervous and wanted to turn around and go up immediately, but she also knew that she was clumsy and couldn't just say and leave.

Hot water tintz is steaming hot, with the occasional gurgling sound......

She had seen him sit here alone like this before, and every time she immediately turned around.

There was a night like this with a wonderful moonlight, and that day was his birthday. She got up early and brought noodles, and she ate two bites even if she couldn't eat them. The family was celebrating Zhang Luo's birthday many days in advance, but then he was silent for some reason. He goes out early and returns late every day, and sometimes he doesn't come back for many days. She didn't ask where he had gone. At first, Zhang's mother would pretend to be inadvertently and tell her that the young master would not come back for a few days when he went to patrol the camp, or that the young master would come back late tonight if he had a party...... She just nodded her head in response. It's just that I've heard it, as if it has nothing to do with her. After a long time, Zhang's mother won't talk about it.

She was always a little awkward to see him, and he didn't bother her too much. Someone reported her situation to him every day, and he should know her every move.

She thought he still cared about the child.

She had slept before he came back that night, thinking that he must have had a party that day. I didn't expect him to come back early on such a day. In fact, he had a lot of entertainment in those days, and before that, because her father and the ninth brother came, he was also busy for a while.

She was not surprised that her father and the ninth brother came. Surprisingly, they can still talk and laugh when they meet. She was sick in the dark, and with limited energy she couldn't figure out how they could do it like that...... Maybe my father-in-law and father can be open and honest in private, or maybe they know each other for decades. The father brought the ninth brother here, whether it was to bear the guilt of Jing, or to rebuild the old one, the money was returned, and after all, he gave the Tao family an explanation.

Qiu Wei said that Miss should not think so much, the old master and the ninth young master must also take care of Miss.

She didn't say anything.

When her father saw her, he told her to take care of herself.

She couldn't eat or sleep well at that time, and there was no human figure who was tossed. Maybe her father would feel a little distressed when he looked at her, but the father and daughter didn't have much to say when they were talking to each other. Since she left Nanjing, she never thought about when she would be able to see her father again. She thought she had said a lot of heartbreaking things about her father, and those words would never be taken back. But she doesn't regret it.

Brother Jiu saw her and said that he had wronged her...... She told Brother Jiu that there was nothing to be wronged about. Brother Jiu listened to her words, and his expression was complicated. He still said that Xiao Shi had something to say to his family in the future.

She didn't say yes to him.

She knew she wouldn't talk to them again.

She didn't make it to see them off when they left. I don't know why I was so uncomfortable that day, I couldn't get out of bed. She was getting a nutrition injection when she heard the news of their departure, and she burst into tears when she pricked the needle. In fact, I have been given the injection for many days, and I have never felt as much pain as I did that day...... She couldn't stop crying. The crying alarmed many people.

When she saw so many people persuading her not to be sad and not to cry, to take care of her body and to take care of her fetus, she couldn't stop her tears.

It was as if on that very day, she really cut something off from the depths of her heart.

In the past, she just said that when it came to this day, it still hurt fiercely...... She doesn't cry easily, but after having a child, she always cries at every turn.

When he was crying and fainting, Tao Xiang came back. Later, I found out that Zhang's mother was worried about her and asked people to tell him. He was ordered by his father-in-law to take her father to the airport, and he was in a hurry to come back. She didn't know how long it would take to get to and from the airport. It's dangerous to drive too fast......

When he saw her, he did not speak. It's just that she has been with her for a long time when she was crying and vomiting. Then she fell asleep and was gone when she woke up. Qiu Wei said that her uncle was downstairs, and there was something waiting for him to deal with, and before going down, her uncle said that if the young lady was wrong, he would call him, and he would come up immediately...... She lay there motionless, and the world was spinning.

In a drowsy state, she knew that he had entered the room again, and she was still guarding her. At dawn she saw him lying on the other side of the bed, lying in his clothes.

Her mind gradually cleared, and she fell asleep again, unusually stable.

When he got up and left, she didn't know...... After her condition stabilized, he rarely came into the room again. That's the time in my memory. I guess I can't stand it when I look at her. Seeing her suffering, he didn't say no, don't force it. She knew he wouldn't say such a thing. Of course, even if he said it, she wouldn't obey it...... During that time, she often thought of the fourth sister. Compared to the fourth sister, it is really nothing for her to suffer this little hardship. Mother-in-law Du Shi received a letter every two days, instructing her in every detail. If it weren't for her physical condition that didn't allow her to travel long distances, I'm afraid she would have to come and accompany her through pregnancy and childbirth.

The good news spread quietly, the seventh young grandmother of the Tao family is about to give birth, and the wives and grandmothers of acquaintances will inevitably come to express their hearts. When she is not in good health, she can't see guests; When she was better, she was too lazy to deal with it. She occasionally thinks about it, and she doesn't know where she got so much spirit in the past, so many people to socialize, she can always socialize without leaking. Now most of them are blocked by Mrs. Tao, and very few of them are seen by her, but they are just friends like the second young grandmother of the Shui family. and Dr. Ren Xiufang.

Ren Xiufang is really happy for her. Come and see that she also brought a lot of parenting books.

She didn't ask Dr. Ren how she spent her time in prison, as if that experience didn't affect her at all, but was more helpful and cheerful than before. Ren Xiufang didn't mention those, just came to see her every once in a while and brought her some small gifts. One day she brought a beautiful gauze lamp.

She asked if it was sent by Dunhuang. Dr. Ren smiled and said yes.

She doesn't go out, and it's not convenient for Dunhuang to go into the inner house to visit her. I haven't seen each other for a long time, but most of them are a little knotted. She knew that it was for her own good, so she concealed some things and helped her secretly. She just couldn't accept it for a while.

She likes the yarn lamp very much.

Dr. Ren said with a smile that although this is a family handicraft, he has not seen Dunhuang do such work for many years. This time, I had time to come back from Qiyun Mountain and live for two days, and I finally got such a lookable one for her to bring in......

After Dr. Ren left, she asked people to hang up the yarn lanterns.

Sha Lantern is a fat doll holding a carp. The tie is very fine, and the depiction is also elegant, so that people can't help but laugh when they look at it......

When Tao Xiang came back, he also saw the yarn lamp.

He stood under the gauze lamp for a long time.

Zhang's mother invited him to dinner, and when he turned around, she happened to come out of the room.

It was very cold, and he changed into a fur coat. It was snowing outside, and there was a thin layer of water droplets on the shoulders. It's the snow that's melting.

Seeing that they were all stunned, Zhang's mother whispered that in two years, the young master and young grandmother can take Young Master Sun and Miss Sun to visit the Lantern Festival...... He didn't say anything, and neither did she.

She couldn't think of a day when it might really happen.

In fact, it is not difficult to think that when he is with Qilin'er and Cersei, he will also carry them.

Later, she asked Zhang's mother to accept it......

Jingyi stood up, holding on to the railing, wanting to turn around and go upstairs.

At this moment, Tao Xiang stood up and turned on the light.

The living room suddenly became as bright as day, and he looked at her and asked, "Can't you sleep?" ”

She nodded.

She seemed to hesitate before slowly walking down.

Her movements are a little sluggish, and her body is a little bulky - in fact, she still looks good. is already pregnant, and the skirt on her body is wide. It was always warm in the house, and she didn't wear thick clothes. At this time, it was night, and I didn't add too much of a long gown with a bucket of beads. His hair had grown a little longer, and had fallen below his shoulders, and his face was plump, and he was almost round and jadeβ€”but he had gone down the stairs, and was a little panting, and came to him with a ruddy face.

"Do you want anything?" He asked.

Zhang's mother often said that when the young grandmother woke up at night or couldn't sleep, she always had to add a meal.

It's always a good thing that she has a good appetite.

Jingyi shook her head and said, "Just come down and take a walk." ”

Tao Xiang nodded.

The two men spoke, alarming the servants on duty at night. He waved them down and didn't bother. When I turned around, I saw her standing in front of the window, looking at the bright moon outside...... No matter how bright the moonlight is, it is always a little cold. But her appearance is really gentle and warm.

Jingyi noticed that Tao Xiang was looking at her.

Tao Xiang said softly: "Recently, I have to accompany my father to Nanjing. ”

Jingyi was stunned, nodded, and asked, "Is my father's body able to eat?" ”

"There's a doctor with me. I'll take care of him too. He said.

"Fortunately, the second brother and sister-in-law are also here." She said, turning away, still looking outside.

She didn't ask why they were going to Nanjing. Think about it, and you can guess it. It's been several months, and every once in a while there are rumors that Suo You'an is critically ill. As soon as the wind comes, all parties will be nervous for a while...... She thought it was really dangerous this time. Unless there is anything particularly important, my father-in-law will not go over in person. To be able to work for him to go on a trip, of course, is not trivial.

"The second brother and sister-in-law will also come back together. It's New Year's soon. Tao Xiang said.

"Hmm." Jingyi nodded. Yamei was very worried about her, and letters and parcels were sent every few days. She was still a little happy to see her and Cersei in a while. "Time flies."

She said, stroking her belly.

Suddenly, she let out a low "ah".

Tao Xiang was standing a few steps behind her, frightened by this sound, he came over in two steps, took her arm, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
