Chapter 10: The Plum of Self-Purity (14)
"I'm just giving an analogy, Xiao Shi, what are you anxious about?" Suo Yanlin said with a smile, looking at Tao Xiang, "I think my aunt and grandmother are very strict. When I was a child, my aunt and grandmother were not like this. My mother wouldn't let me eat more sugar, and my aunt and grandmother had to secretly let people give it to me. ”
Tao Xiang started the car, smiled slightly, and said, "My aunt's style is also different. ”
"Isn't it, my mother often mentioned that my aunt and grandmother were kinder than my grandmother......
Jingyi listened to Tao Xiang's understatement, and led Yan Lin's words elsewhere, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When he arrived at the Northwest Army Headquarters, Yan Lin got out of the car, and Jing Yi saw that Tao Xiang had no intention of doing something at all, so he couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you coming to the headquarters to do something?" 彖"
Tao Xiang glanced at her, leaned out, and said to Yan Lin, "Third sister-in-law, we went to the hospital." ”
Jingyi frowned, Suo Yanlin looked unexpected, waved his hand, and said, "Go and come back quickly, come over for lunch at noon." She beckoned Qiu Wei to stay, saying that there were some things she needed to help prepare, and she was not allowed to follow her to the hospital.
Jingyi saw that things were so far, so she had to do this.
The provincial hospital was not far from the headquarters, and Tao Xiang's car drove slowly, and it would take a quarter of an hour to arrive.
got out of the car and Tao Xiang asked Ma Xingjian to take someone downstairs, and took Jingyi to Lin Zhiyi's ward, took the fruits and pastries from the pony, and gave Jingyi a box to carry.
When Jingyi went upstairs, she took another look at herself in the mirror at the corner of the stairs - a rough look, the bruises on her face were much lighter. She was sleepy like that last night, but she hastily applied a little of the ointment given by Mrs. Tao to her cheeks, and she felt that it had worked since this morning. If you don't pay attention to it, it's just that her complexion is darker...... Tao Xiang stood aside and waited for her.
"I didn't tell my third sister-in-law." She said.
People on the stairs came and went, and the two of them stood in the way of it.
It's just such a pair of beautiful people-like characters, and Tao Xiang is a little unangry and arrogant, passers-by just look at them and avoid them silently.
Jingyi found out and wanted to go upstairs.
Tao Xiang grabbed her arm.
Jing Yi sensed from the strength with which he held himself, that he was not happy.
"Tell them anything, that's your freedom." He whispered, "I'm neither interfering nor worried." You can solve the matter between the women in the family. ”
"I never wanted you to meddle in these things. I can still handle this little thing, so I don't bother you. Jingyi said.
"I don't doubt that." After Tao Xiang finished speaking, he pulled her up the stairs together.
Jingyi pulled her hand out and insisted on walking in front of him.
It was only after walking a few steps that she realized that she didn't know which ward Zhixi was living in, and she had to slow down, but Tao Xiang didn't take the initiative to tell her, as if she was just waiting to see her embarrassed.
She was almost at the end of the corridor, and she didn't meet a nurse to ask, so she had to look back at Tao Xiang.
Tao Xiang said: "The innermost one." ”
Jing Yi looked, and sure enough, on the white bench at the door of the ward at the end of the corridor, there were two plainclothes sitting. As soon as they saw them, the two immediately got up.
"Seven less, less grandma." The two greeted each other.
"How?" Tao Xiang asked.
"I'm resting now, waiting for the doctor to make rounds." One of them replied.
Tao Xiang knocked on the door and pushed open the door of the ward, allowing Jing Yi to enter the door.
Zhixi on the hospital bed didn't expect that it would be Jingyi and Tao Xiang who would come to see him, and he struggled to get up, but was stopped by Jingyi.
"Don't get up." Jingyi put the pastry box on the head of the bed, "Are you better?" ”
Tao Xiang listened quietly to Jing Yi's words on the side, and did not interject.
Jingyi was standing by the bedside at first, probably because she felt that it was a little difficult for Zhiyi to tilt her head and talk to her, so she sat down on the stool next to the bed.
She spoke very patiently with Zhi Chen, and to Tao Xiang's ears, it seemed like a gentle wind and drizzle.
He took two steps back, so that he could see more clearly - Lin Zhixin was not like an ordinary bodyguard, he did not have the spirit of the rivers and lakes. may be because he grew up beside Cheng Shiyun since he was a child, but he has been contaminated with a little hidden shrewdness and ability.
He remembered the first time he noticed Zhixi, that is, Zhixin went from Beiping to Suiyuan with Cheng Shiyun, in the palace of Prince Kola. Prince Cora has an old problem, that is, if anyone has something to ask for, even if he wants to agree to help, he will make it difficult in every way. The prince and Cheng Shiyun have been friends for many years, and they have always been mutually beneficial, but this time things are obviously difficult to do, and the prince is holding the shelf. The prince drank some wine, became happy, and said that he wanted to see wrestling. There are a lot of wrestlers in the house, and they come as soon as they are called to give them performances. After watching a few wrestling fights, the prince went down himself. Prince Cora is old and strong, and his wrestling skills have not diminished back then. When he turned around and saw Zhixi sitting behind Master Cheng, he made up his mind and said that he heard that Master Cheng's adopted son was very good.
Cheng Shiyun politely declined.
The prince was not pleased.
Zhixi asked Master Cheng for his life and took the initiative to ask the prince for advice.
Master Cheng instructed him to be careful.
He was sitting next to his father at the time, thinking that Cheng Shiyun was worried about the wooden-looking and asked him to be careful. He saw his father smile. He was just slightly curious as to why his father was laughing. As soon as the two sides fought, he realized that what Master Cheng said about "beware" was completely out of the meaning of wanting to start with some measure. Zhixin's skills are not a little higher than that of Prince Kora. It's just that he listened to Master Cheng's words, and he saved some face for the prince by doing it. But it only saved a little face. These few points of face were consumed in less than three rounds, and Prince Cora was thrown hard.
It can be seen that Zhi Yan is not satisfied with Prince Kora's embarrassment Master Cheng, so he started steadily and accurately, and used his strength in a real way.
The prince lost, but he was still happy, and drank with him. The Mongols are just that, bold, real, and respectful of heroes with real skills. Zhixin refused at first, saying that he still had a duty to do. Master Cheng spoke, and Zhi Xin made three bowls in a row, and the prince was almost about to worship him.
Master Cheng's journey can be regarded as a success, although his father's mediation is indispensable in the middle, but he always feels that the last moment is to have a chance to get twice the result with half the effort.
Although Zhiyan is not amazing, he has the loyalty and heroism of a soldier, which makes him extra interested.
Since then, Zhixin has also been to Lanzhou with Master Cheng, and he is still hidden behind Master Cheng like a shadow, but he can't help but notice him again and again......
Tao Xiang heard Jingyi say, "You take care of your injuries, don't worry about my safety, there are guards to follow you in your actions." Wait until the doctor clears you to leave the hospital and then go home."
As he spoke, there was a knock on the door, and it was a doctor patrolling the ward.
Jingyi and Tao Xiang stood aside, waiting for the doctor to examine Zhixin, and then asked about Zhixin's detailed injuries and recovery.
Jingyi asked carefully, and the doctor responded more seriously than paying attention.
She was even more relieved to listen to the doctor's words, but there was a female doctor behind the attending doctor, who looked at her nicely. She looked at it closely, and felt that this person was familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen her. The doctors were leaving, and the female doctor walked last, seemingly unsure, calling out "Catherine Cheng".
Jingyi was stunned and asked, "Do you recognize me?" ”
The female doctor smiled and said, "I'll just say I won't admit my mistake." I'm a medical graduate of St. John's, but I don't think you will recognize me. By the time you were in the preparatory department, I was already graduating. Before graduation, I went to see a theater troupe performance, and the curtain call was a poem recitation "I-Saw-You-Cry" by you and Dai Mengyuanjun. You were so beautiful that day. I was so impressed that I never forgot it. ”
"Really? I don't remember. Jingyi had no impression of the female doctor who claimed to be an alumnus, but she also had no impression of what she mentioned.
Perhaps her reaction was too flat, and the female doctor was surprised and a little sneering.
In order not to embarrass her, Jingyi sent her out with a smile, asking her to take care of her, looking at the name embroidered on the female doctor's white robe, she remembered in her heart that it was called Ren Xiufang.
"It's rare to see St. John's alumni here." Ren Xiufang smiled and said, "If there is anything you need my help with, just say it." I still have something to do, so let's go first. ”
Jingyi fell at the door and stood for a while before going back, Tao Xiang and Zhixin were talking, glanced at her, and said, "Let Zhiyi rest, we should go." ”
She nodded in agreement.
Zhiyi wanted to get out of bed to send them, but Jingyi didn't allow it.
Tao Xiang saw that her words worked, so he didn't speak again.
He Jingyi walked out of Zhiyi's ward, and Tao Xiang instructed the guard at the door, saying that if you need anything, just ask, don't be afraid of trouble, just take care of the patient.
"Wait for me here." Tao Xiao said to Jingyi when they walked downstairs. Ma Xingjian came up to pick up the car for him, but he waved his hand and said no.
Jingyi waited for him in place.
The weather is dry and cold, and the chill is getting in little by little. She paced as she surveyed the hospital's facilities. The hospital is still very new, but not very large. Nurses, doctors, and patients don't seem to be much, but they are quiet and suitable for recuperation. The yard was empty, and the trees planted in it looked thinner, and a layer of snow had fallen on the benches under the trees...... The snow was thick in what was originally a lawn, and there were strings of footprints left on it.
She stared at those footprints, deep and shallow, and the snow was not stepped on, which made people feel upset.
When she heard the sound of the car, she thought it was Tao Xiang coming. When I turned my head, I saw that it was not, a gray car was driving from the side of the curve.
She realizes that she has unconsciously gone away, and the pony just follows her from a distance, and does not stop her, and turns back.
The car was parked in the open space in front of the building.
Jingyi saw that the driver was a woman, and she remembered Wuzhi for a while, so she couldn't help but pay special attention.
The woman got out of the car, and when she saw her, she was impatient at first, but when she saw her clearly, she looked at her so fixedly that she forgot to close the car door.
Seeing her like this, Jingyi simply looked at her generously - she was very tall, with a small face, and a pointed chin like a nail, so her eyes became bigger and bigger; The eyebrows are thick and dark, the eye sockets are deeply sunken, the eyelashes are dense and curled, the bridge of the nose is also high, the lips are bright red, and the skin is as clean as white porcelain...... Dressed in a heroic way. Dressed in a dark green English hunting suit, the riding boots on his feet were knee-high, and he was kicking on the brick floor, sonorous and powerful. This is quite a striking beauty.
The two looked at each other in the air, and Jingyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this. There were already guards behind her who were rapidly approaching her. The quickest ones are, of course, the ponies.
At this time, the woman in hunting costume happened to pass by her, and a faint fragrant wind hit, as if it was deliberate, and when she passed by, she wanted to take a look at Jingyi. Then, she stood down.
Jingyi heard the pony whisper, "Young grandmother, please go this way." ”
Jing Yi frowned slightly. They were too careful, even if she had ever been in danger. She was just about to say something to stop her, but Ma Xingjian stopped in front of her and said to the woman, "Miss Ma, please." ”
Only then did Jing Yi know that Ma Xingjian recognized this "Miss Ma".
The woman in the hunting costume known as Miss Ma had a spark in her eyes, glared at Ma Xingjian for a while, and looked at Jingyi.
No matter how calm Jingyi was, she had to have doubts at this time.
"You are Tao Muzhi's bride?" The woman in the hunting suit asked straight to the point.
Jingyi saw Tao Xiang driving over.
"Young grandma, seven young are waiting for you." Ma Xingjian said.
Jingyi didn't plan to leave there, so she said, "Yes." Who are you? ”
She smiled, neither humble nor arrogant.
This Miss Ma was a head taller than her, and when she stood in front of her, she had to look up at her.
Seeing Jingyi like this, Ma Xingjian waited silently, just looking at the woman in hunting suit very vigilantly.
"I'm Ma Jiayu." Said the woman in the hunting costume. It seems that Ma Jiayu's three words are golden signs, and she said it loudly.
Jing Yi was a little dazed, but said in her mouth: "It turned out to be Miss Ma." ”
When Ma Xingjian called her Miss Ma, she already knew the woman's surname. In view of the grievances between the Tao family and the local Ma family, the surname Ma should indeed cause her to be vigilant enough. What's more, this woman looks so aggressive. But she really didn't know what the reason for this Ma Jiayu to introduce herself confidently was. Still is...... Like Jenny Huang and Jin Yunqi, she thinks she is qualified to criticize, that is, as Tao Xiang's wife, she is not so qualified?
She almost laughed at the thought of this.
And it was really a little smile in his eyes.
