Chapter 8: Snow Like Jade (7)
Jing Yi stared at the photo in Tu Huyi's hand.
Tao Xiang pointed to Jingyi's hand, motioned to Tiger Wing, and said, "Just use that one." β
"Yes." Tu Huyi cautiously went over and exchanged the photo from Jing Yi's hand, "Qi Shao has no other instructions, I'll go out first." β
Tu Huyi hurriedly left, and immediately returned to close the door.
Qiu Wei and Ma Xingjian waited outside, watching him take the photo, they had to look at it. Tu Huyi remembered Qiu Wei's appearance just now, and also rolled his eyes, quickly gave Ma Xingjian a light, hurriedly went out, and found the confidential secretary Cen Gaoying.
Qiu Wei pouted and said, "What kind of person, stingy." β
Ma Xingjian smiled and said, "It's the one where Seventh Young and Miss Ten are holding hands and standing side by side." β
Qiu Wei thought for a while, "oh", and said, "That ...... Our eldest wife and wife both said that we should choose that one. Phew"
Ma Xingjian nodded.
At this time, the door of the inner room opened suddenly, Jingyi came out of it, and Qiu Wei hurriedly followed and put a coat on her.
"Ponies!" Tao Xiang called Ma Xingjian inside.
Ma Xingjian hurriedly went in, pointed outside, and said, "Seven Shao, Miss Ten, she ...... Don't you need us to send it? β
"Let her go." Tao Xiang stood in front of the table and continued to smoke.
He flipped through the photos one by one, and if he liked them, he pulled them out and put them on the table.
The small suitcase was turned to the bottom, and the table was almost full.
Ma Xingjian stood aside and watched, silent.
Tu Huyi came back to report and said that Secretary Cen had just drafted two versions of the press release, and asked Qi Shao to read it before sending it to the newspaper.
"Leave it on." Tao Xiang said. I didn't take my eyes off the photo on the table.
Tu Huyi asked with a smile: "Did Qi Shao really want to send that to the newspaper just now?" That's good, it's just a little bit ...... Great, how can you show it to outsiders. β
Tao Xiang said: "Pony, run to the photo studio." Tell Mr. Oakes that these photos are enlarged. Then let people fight according to the size. Got it? β
Ma Xingjian looked at it and nodded. Put away the photos one by one.
"What about this one, how big is it?" Ma Xingjian pointed to the top one and asked. In his opinion, this photo is indeed good. However, as Tu Huyi said, it is not suitable for outsiders to see. He smiled.
"How big it can be, how big it can be." Tao Xiang lit another cigarette.
Tu Huyi also smiled.
Tao Xiang glared.
Tu Huyi said: "I just came back to my senses. Master, if you don't scare Miss Ten with this photo, Miss Ten won't take the initiative to choose that one just now. That's what it's like, isn't it? β
Ma Xingjian also laughed.
The phone on the table rang, Ma Xingjian picked it up, asked who the other party was, held the receiver, and whispered, "Miss Jin." β
Tao Xiang motioned for him to turn the earpiece around. He cleared his throat and said, "I remember making an appointment with you tonight." Eight o'clock, the French restaurant of the Six Nations Hotel. I'll pick you up. β
He hung up the phone.
Ma Xingjian had already put away the photos and asked, "Which car do you want to use?" β
"Use mine." Tao Xiang explained.
Ma Xingjian and Tu Huyi went out together.
Tao Xiang finished smoking a cigarette and extinguished the fire.
Stand up, unhook the holster, and throw it on the table.
The button of the collar was also loosened twice, and I suddenly felt looser.
He looked at where Jingyi had just sat - she was sitting quietly waiting for him to pick out the picture, with a golden chain hanging from her body. It was a pocket watch, and it was returned to its original owner.
This little woman who is lost is very confused.
***************
On the ninth day of the 16th lunar month of the Republic of China, Tao Xiang and Cheng Jingyi held a simple and grand marriage ceremony in Beiping.
They were neither as fanfare and lively as ordinary people, nor as luxurious as the sensational Cheng Jinkong Zhao group wedding before, only Cheng Shiyun, the head of the Cheng family, came forward to hold a banquet of 20 seats, and all the celebrities invited were in the political, business, and military circles of Beiping. The head of government who was far away in Nanjing, from Suo You'an downwards, could not come to congratulate him in person, or sent people or sent congratulatory telegrams, expressing his congratulations in different ways.
After a day of tedious and solemn rituals, Jingyi finally sat in the new house, and was already tired and almost scattered.
Although it was a Western-style wedding in a wedding dress during the day, at night he still changed into a bright red skirt and sat in a fiery cave room with his head covered, waiting for the return of the groom, Tao Xiangβit was not early, and he had not yet come in. In the evening, a banquet was held in Yiyuan to entertain close friends. It seems that these people are also unwilling to let him go easily. For example, Duan Fengxiao has long said that he must come to the noisy cave room.
Jing Yi clasped her hands together and placed them on her lap.
The phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the skirt wears a peony, and the crested head seems to peck at her hand, making her panic in her heart.
It's easy to deal with during the day, but at night, it's really difficult. She couldn't imagine how she would be against Tao Xiang when these people were gone......
There are many female relatives gathered inside and outside the new house, several wives and ladies of the Cheng family are there, Mrs. Zhao Cheng Fangyun and the eldest daughter are worry-free, Tao Si's wife Xu Yamei, and Hui'an who came from Shanghai are also there. There were also some close people in the main hall outside, chatting and laughing.
Du Shi chuckled under his breath and talked to Wan Wei. Seeing that it was about the same time, she motioned for everyone else to go out, she and Wan Wei sat next to Jingyi one by one, and whispered a few words to Jingyi.
Jingyi knew that her mother-in-law was leaving, so she grabbed her mother's hand.
When Du Shi saw it, he couldn't help laughing, let Wan Wei stay alone, and went out by himself.
Cheng Fangyun saw her come out by herself, and asked quietly, "Panicked?" β
"Looks like so." Du Shi shook his head.
Cheng Fangyun nodded and said, "It's hard for her." β
Xu Yamei saw them come out, knew what they meant, looked at the time, and asked people to go out and urge Tao Xiang again.
She smiled and came over to Du Shi and said, "Auntie, it's really not early. β
Du Shi nodded.
It's already past ten o'clock, and it's not early.
She looked back at the inner room, where she sat next to Jingyi. Jingyi still held Wan's hand tightly and refused to let go, and she couldn't help but sigh......
Wan Wei was held by Jingyi's hand, and she didn't speak for a while, so she explained in Jingyi's ear. Jingyi's hand was so tight that she couldn't break it even if she wanted to.
Wan Wei thought about picking up Jingyi in the wedding car in the morning, Jingyi and Tao Xiang kowtowed to the old lady in the upper room together, and listened to their lectures peacefully. Jingyi seemed to have experienced this kind of scene countless times, without the slightest mistake, and seemed extremely mature and calm. This made her feel more and more uncomfortable. When it was her turn, after Jingyi kowtowed, the mother and daughter faced each other, and their tears were endured. She didn't speak, she had already said what she had to say. She looked at her daughter carefully, then at Tao Xiang, and said something to Tao Xiang, but she didn't say anything, just nodded to him.
"Here we are." Qiao's mother reminded on the side.
Wan Wei mentioned it in his heart and looked at Jingyi.
The voices of the ladies outside were high and low, obviously seeing Tao Xiang coming, talking to him, they were all overjoyed.
Wan Wei didn't say anything more, just shook Jingyi's hand and stood up.
Jing Yi watched her mother's water-red skirt flutter from under the big red hijab, and the tips of the black high-top embroidered shoes disappeared under the skirt, but it was not far from her. She looked up, and through the red hijab, where the electric light was on, it was obscured by the texture of the red hijab, and the light came in, so that she could faintly see the outline of her mother.
She didn't speak either.
She had long been told that she would not be able to speak until her hijab was lifted.
The heavy gold ornaments on her head were not as heavy as this red silk cloth, and her neck was so pressed that she couldn't move.
She reached out.
On her left hand, she wears a gold ring, which Tao Xiang put on her ring finger during the day. It's a little loose, it's only been less than a day, and she's already shaken off twice.
Wanyu shook Jingyi's hand again and said, "Yi'er, my mother will go back first." β
Jingyi nodded.
She seemed to regain her composure, clasping her hands together again on her lap.
Wan Wei gestured to Qiao's mother and Qiu Wei, opened the door and went out.
Most of the ladies have left, and the rest are their own families. When they saw her come out, they all looked at her and smiled, their eyes gentle.
In addition to his relatives and two friends, who accompanied Tao Xiang over, saw that many girls were here, they didn't come in, they just stood outside the new house, and they said goodbye and left, leaving Tao Xiang here alone, and was ridiculed by a group of female dependents. He is the new aunt today, and most of the people who ridicule him are elders, and he always responds with a smile and is not annoyed.
Du Shi looked at it for a while, and said to Tao Xiang with a smile: "It stands to reason that our mother's family should not be here tonight. But on your wedding night, it's better to be lively. β
Tao Xiang said yes.
Wan Wei and Cheng Fangyun were in the same place, and at this time Cheng Fangyun said in a low voice: "Just looking at the appearance of this person, this can be called a fast son-in-law who rides the dragon, and his cultivation is really good." Even the sons-in-law of our family, as well as the Cheng family, have retreated. β
"Auntie, you're eccentric. It can be seen that you hurt the younger ten more, and now you want to hurt the tenth aunt more? The eldest lady listened to it and smiled back.
Cheng Fangyun smiled and said, "Isn't it? What about the eldest aunt? Why don't you come? It's good if someone makes trouble in the cave room. β
Zhiqi looked outside and asked with a smile, "Muzhi, why didn't Second Master Duan come?" He's been yelling for a day. β
Tao Xiang also smiled and said, "Second Brother Duan is taller, and everyone else is tired." Keep it for us to go back and enjoy the high-end haunted room. β
