Chapter 7: The Mustache of Departure (9)
    Zhichen saw her coming, and opened the curtain for her early. Relief of residual jaw boils
    Since that day she broke with Zhiluan, Jingyi always felt that Zhiyi had sincerely avoided her these days.
    She couldn't help but look at it.
    Zhichen was seen by Jingyi like this, the curtain hit there, but he felt cramped, his face couldn't help but redden, his hand slipped, the curtain fell, and it was touching the top of Jingyi's head, he hurriedly put the curtain away.
    "I'm sorry, Miss Ten. "He's sneering.
     Jingyi didn't say anything when she heard someone snort softly, and when she saw it, it was Zhiluan. She calmly called the seventh sister, and when she saw Zhiluan Tieqing's face, after calling the seventh sister, she stopped making a sound.
     Zhiluan ignored her, passed by her, and turned his head and took a sip.
    Jingyi stood at the door and watched her walk farther before turning around and taking it in.
    At this time, Cheng Shiyun did not sit in the back room as usual, but sat in the main room to fill the tobacco pouch.
    Jingyi came into the house and walked closer to him, stood down and said, "Father, I'm here." β
    Cheng Shiyun lowered his head and seemed to be loading tobacco very carefully. For a long time, he was still slowly digging into the cigarette pouch, and he didn't see the small pot of cigarettes loaded. Jingyi naturally walked over, took the cigarette pouch in Cheng Shiyun's hand, and filled the tobacco pot with only a few light clicks. She pressed the cigarette pot, handed the jade cigarette holder towards Cheng Shiyun, and said, "Okay." β
    Cheng Shiyun pointed to the matchbox on the table.
    Jingyi struck a match and held it up in front of him.
    The smoke is lit.
    The smoke was wafting away, Cheng Shiyun looked at Nana's daughter, who was curling like smoke, standing in front of him, silently, waiting for him to speakβhe coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Shi, go out for a walk with me." β
    Jingyi heard her father call her Xiao Shi and said, "Yes." β
    Cheng Shiyun stood up.
    He didn't go to the front yard, but took Jingyi through the three study rooms and went out through the back door.
    The backyard is also a sycamore forest. The father and daughter walked one after the other, pacing slowly through the forest. This year's autumn and winter's newly fallen sycamore leaves are still intact on those old leaves, and they are very soft to step on.
    Jingyi was behind her father, a little close, and always felt that she would step on her father's upper if she was not careful-such an embarrassment, there should have been in the past, I don't know why, her earliest memory of her father was when she was small, when she looked up, her father seemed to be a very big black object, and her very small foot would step on her father's shoes, so she bent the big black object - picked her up...... Jingyi was thinking, how could it be, how could it be, she was so small, how did her father's shoes be stepped on by her...... She seems to have had a time when she liked to hug her father's leg so much? You're too small, so you can only hug your knees...... She turned her face away. Something fluttered up in the trees, and the only remaining leaves fell as if they were shaken.
    Jingyi raised her hand and grabbed the leaves. Cool. She twisted the petiole and bowed her head.
    Cheng Shiyun stopped slowly and looked at Jingyi. A pot of cigarettes has been smoked and only ashes remain. He held the cigarette stick in his hand and put his hands behind his back.
    Jingyi raised her head and didn't look at her father's eyesβher father was dressed in a brown poplin robe with a string of jade chains on his chest, which were crystal clear, more uniform than the color of the jade cigarette holder...... My father has fallen in love with cigar smoking in recent years, and he rarely smokes tobacco anymore. There are all kinds of good cigarettes at home, and most of them are hospitable.
    She heard her father ask her, "Do you still have a headache these days?" β
    She was stunned and shook her head.
    "When I was young, if I drank too much, I would have a headache for a few days. None of you are like me at all. Cheng Shi turned around and walked back and said, "Don't be careless." Your mother takes care of you and is the most attentive and will not forget to let you drink some hangover soup. But if you want me to say, as long as it's stewed, lighter soup, no matter what the ingredients are, it's fine. It's not just about sobering. β
    Jingyi looked at his father's back and stopped.
    Cheng Shiyun didn't seem to care if Jingyi was keeping up with him, just pacing slowly.
    "Father, it's cold here, let's go back." Jingyi said.
    Cheng Shiyun nodded.
    Jingyi looked at his father's hand, and the jade cigarette holder touched the jade wrench.
    She remembers it was her grandfather's wrench. Once upon a time when her grandfather held her, she would hold her grandfather's hand. The wrench was even hotter than my grandfather's hand...... Grandfather said that this wrench was handed down by the elders, and it came to him because he won the palace examination, and his grandfather was happy that day and rewarded a lot of things. In the end, he begged for a reward, saying that he didn't want anyone else, but only this wrench in his grandfather's hand.
    Grandfather saw that she liked it, took it off and played with her for a long time, and told her father that this thing would be given to Yi'er later.
    Because it was her grandfather's beloved, her father resigned on her behalf. Grandfather said it wasn't worth much, and although Yi'er was small, I thought she was interesting. Now that the times are different from the past, it is not impossible for the Cheng family to produce a promising girl...... Grandfather was enlightened, but these words were mostly out of love, and did not necessarily expect much from her. Many years have passed since this incident, and my grandfather has passed away, so I don't want to see this wrench today, and it will bring back a past that I have not thought about for a long time.
    Jingyi silently followed his father's side.
    "Your grandfather used to say that this wrench has aura. He had many ups and downs in his life, several times in distress, and several times out of danger, and his life was always safe. In his later years, he often talked about these as jokes, and said that it was the credit of this wrench......" Cheng Shiyun said, removing the wrench from his thumb. He looked at the wrench and said, "After your grandfather left, the wrench has been with me for some years." He said he would leave this to you, and now I will give it to you. β
    "Father, it is more appropriate for you to wear it. Jingyi shook her head.
    Cheng Shiyun put the wrench in Jingyi's hand.
    Jingyi held the wrench, looked at it for a while, and put the wrench back on her father's hand.
    Father's hands are rich and warm, but they feel strange.
    She moved her hand a little crampedly.
    "Father, I'll be safe." She said.
    The wind blew through the sycamore forest, with the sound of branches and leaves, blowing her bangs.
    "Go to your mother." Cheng Shiyun said.
    " is. Jingyi saluted, turned and walked away.
    The sycamore forest is far-reaching, and it takes a bit of work to get out, she always feels that her father is watching her leave, but she doesn't look back to confirm...... She didn't know what Tao Xiang would say when she saw her father. But before coming to see her father, she prepared a lot of words for him to ask. However, when she left, it didn't even work...... Perhaps my father never thought to hear what she was thinking.
    Back at Xinglu, when Qiao's mother saw her, she said that Mrs. had been waiting for her for a while, and that the eldest lady was also here. Seeing that Jingyi was about to go inside, Qiao's mother stopped her and whispered, "Miss, slow down, the eldest lady is talking to the wife." β
     She said and doubled.
    Jingyi looked at it, it was seven and eight.
    "The third wife has been crying and blind for the past two days. The master wants to give the seventh miss to the Liu family in Baoding, and the eighth miss to the Meng family in Tianjin. Miss Eight happily agreed, but Miss Seven said that if she was married, she would not obey her. Qiao's mother said very lowly.
    Jingyi knows this. These two family affairs were told by the sisters when they came back this time. The Liu family in Baoding and the fifth sister-in-law are in-laws, and the Meng family in Tianjin and the eldest sister-in-law are world friends, both of whom are Zhumen Gaodi. Forming a family with such a family, the third wife was naturally satisfied, and it was expected that she agreed. But looking at the attitude of my father and the seventh sister today, maybe my father didn't force the seventh sister to agree...... She said, "Are they talking about this, what am I not going to hear?" β
    Qiao's mother pouted when she heard her say this, and said: "It's not that I can't hear it, it's just that the eldest wife and the wife just said that the third wife was still crying and complaining at her place at noon today, saying that none of the aunts and grandmothers of the Cheng family dared to resist marriage, so they started with Miss Ten and actually came to Miss Seven." It's all Miss Ten's appearance that she didn't do well, and she cheered up Miss Seven......"
     Jingyi glared, I wanted to say that Qiao's mother also had a problem chewing the root of her tongue, but when she thought about the tone that Qiao's mother learned, it was the tone of the third wife, so she didn't make a sound.
     stood slightly, hearing Du Shi's laughter inside, she didn't wait for anyone to report, she picked the curtain and entered the house with a smile to greet her.
    Du Shi was even happier when he saw her come in, and first said to Wan Wei: "What did I say, Xiao Shi's complexion is much better." β
    Wan Wei looked at Jingyi, nodded, and said, "Yi'er, sit down and listen to Mrs. β
    Jingyi guessed that Du Shi must have come here for a reason, so he sat down honestly.
    Du Shi took Jingyi's hand and asked her to sit closer, looked at her for a while, and said, "I've heard what your father said." I thought that no matter what, I would have to start spring next year to handle your marriage. Although I am in a hurry now, I have just done your third brother's big business, and everything is ready-made, and it doesn't take much effort. β
    The family has just organized a happy event, the son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law have walked away, she is empty in her heart, and she doesn't want Jingyi to get married, so she will be done, so that her mood will improve.
    "You, from your third brother to you, have given me a moth, one is not prepared for his affairs and wants to take the lead, and the other is ready for next year but will be moved this year. Du Shi pretended to be angry and glared at Jingyi, "Isn't it, Wanyi, what do you say?" How good is it for us to prepare calmly? β
    Wanwei has already gotten the news, but he still hasn't come back to his senses, and he always feels that this thing doesn't seem to be true. Du Shi said that she was reluctant to give up her daughter when the matter came, and there was indeed this reason.
    She looked at Jingyi.
