Chapter 21: The Unruly Wind (7)
She was a little afraid to see Tao Xiang at this moment, but she couldn't hide the little thought in her heart, and she couldn't wait to see him.
Xiao Dunhuang was originally smiling, taking a closer look at the color on Jing Yi's face, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and frowned: "Why do you look like you were punched by someone on the door." Who is so bold as to dare to provoke Mrs. Tao? ”
Jing Yi didn't know what to say, so she just shook her head and asked, "Why aren't you listening to the play inside?" "Dunhuang came tonight to surprise her, and she didn't expect him to leave at this time, and it seems that he came to see Tao Xiang to discuss something important.
Xiao Dunhuang said: "I am in a hurry to go to Qiyun Mountain early tomorrow morning, there are still some things that have not been dealt with today, so I have to leave immediately." Besides, I'm a rough person, so I'm not good at this. ”
He said with a slight smile.
Jingyi nodded and motioned for the pony to send Dunhuang out. When he was about to leave, he looked at her and whispered, "If you want me to help with anything, just ask." ”
Jingyi nodded again.
Xiao Dunhuang saw that she had regained some composure and left with confidence.
Instead, Jingyi stood there for a while, and Ma Xingjian sent Dunhuang back, and then she went back to sit down. Flawless saw her sit down and took a bowl of tea, but he didn't drink it, just held it in his hand, frowned slightly, and didn't ask her anything. Jing Yi didn't have the idea of speaking at all. At this time, the stage is empty, and it must be a little while, and the show will begin...... Under the bright and dazzling lights, the large embroidered curtain is gorgeous.
The few audiences in the audience who were waiting for the show to start were quiet and silent.
Jingyi looked at Mrs. Tao.
She had not spoken to Madame de Fontaine at this time. She sits in an extremely upright posture with a straight back. Just looking at the side, I also knew that her face was very serious...... This time, I have also seen emaciation, and I have become a little old.
Jingyi still remembers the night she first met her mother-in-law, and she was also watching a play at Kong's house. It's almost a glimpse, Mrs. Tao Shengchuan's demeanor is more than just a catch-eye?
"Cheng Jingyi." Flawless shouted.
Jingyi saved, hurriedly put the tea bowl away, and looked at his cousin.
"I'm a guest, are you so snub to a guest?" Flawless said with a smile.
"When did you ever treat you as a guest?" Jing Yi said with a smile. Before the words fell, Mrs. Tao turned her face to look at her as if she had eyes behind her back. Jingyi was uneasy in her heart, and when she saw her, she was even more uneasy. Fortunately, the reaction was fast enough, and he almost owed Mrs. Tao together with Flawless. Mrs. Tao smiled and nodded, obviously polite to the same flawless.
When she still turned her face back, the cloud board on the stage rang, and the maid played by Boss Cheng stepped out behind the curtain...... Jing Yi stared at the dazzling little broken steps on the stage and the red tassels on her shoes, and was even more upset, so she listened to Flawless and whispered: "How can I look, your life is really not easy." ”
Still ripples don't move.
The two of them sat on the west side. It's a little farther away from everyone else, and I don't worry about anyone listening. Jingyi was still a little frightened, and she didn't know what Flawless had seen, so she had to look at her and say, "What did the second cousin say?" I don't understand. ”
Flawless didn't look at her, as if she was fascinated by the drama, but said, "I came back to see you." Two years ago, at this time, you and Mu Zhi were in Nanjing, and I haven't forgotten those things for two years. I'm always thinking about you. In the past two years, there have been too many people and events, but there has been no earth-shattering. Among my brothers and sisters, I still miss you the most. ”
"I know, second cousin." Jing Yi saw that Flawless was getting more and more serious, and she wanted to explain to her but couldn't do it, so her face turned red. Flawless looked at her like this, and felt more and more that she was right. Jingyi had no choice but to say: "I'm fine, second cousin, you are really ......"
Flawless snorted lightly and glanced at Jingyi's forehead, his gaze falling on the corner of her forehead.
Seeing this, Jingyi had no choice but to take out the killer weapon she was used to in front of Flawless - she looked around, and no one paid attention to them, so she came over and picked up Flawless and sprinkled her a little for a while, and said, "Second cousin spared me tonight, and I'll break it down with you in two days, okay?" ”
Flawless saw that she was still in the mood to be coquettish to herself, she was angry and funny, but she was also relieved, rolled her eyes, poked the corner of her forehead and said, "I have convinced you." ”
This time it was poking at the wound, and Jing Yi almost couldn't help but cry out in pain. Flawlessly, she leisurely brought a tea bowl to drink tea--she had recently fallen in love with the unique "Three Forts" here, and she was full of joy when she drank it--"I'll go another day, so it's important to bring me some." I thought they would like it too. She whispered.
Jingyi was still rubbing her forehead. was interrupted by Flawless, and the originally uneasy mood was relaxed. Flawless was actually not thinking about watching the play, and whispered to her. Tai is half flawless, telling Jingyi about the current situation of her family. These are mentioned a lot in the letters that are exchanged in ordinary times, and when I hear Flawless talk about it in person, my feelings are very different. It was as if everyone was around in front of them, and it was very kind...... Jing Yi gradually softened the expression on her face and smiled.
“…… My uncle has now left all the bank's affairs to Zhishen. I came from Nanjing, got together at my third cousin's house, and listened to what he meant, the situation in the Northeast is now unstable. If there is any abnormal movement, I am afraid that the troops outside the gate will not be able to stop it for a few days. Although the war may not be real, once it enters the customs, Beiping is in danger. Uncle's meaning, anyway, the focus of the Cheng family's career has also moved south in the past few years, the ancestral house cannot be moved, the foundation of the Cheng family is still in Beiping, only some people are left to guard the ancestral house, and they will all be taken to Nanjing in the near future......" Wufang said, looking at Jingyi's reaction.
Jingyi nodded and said, "I think it should be the same." I just don't know if my mother is willing? "Du's mother has spent most of her life in Beiping, let her go to the south, I don't know how to get used to it...... At that time, her grandmother was taking care of her in Nanjing, so she had some opinions about the climate there. She was only worried about them getting older...... "There's no way around it." The mother will always obey the father's arrangement. ”
Flawless heard her mention her uncle, her tone was still a little detached, she cleared her throat, and said, "How long has it been, and you are still like this...... Since he is a good son with the herdsman, should he also be reconciled with his uncle? How long has it been since you went back to visit them? ”
Jingyi lowered her head.
A small shadow fell on her pale orange skirt, Flawless suddenly stopped, she was stunned, noticed something strange, and sure enough, when she turned her head, she saw Tao Xiang coming, sitting on the chair next to her, looking at her
