Chapter 16: The Deepest and Shallow Marks (5)
"Uncle!" Qiu Wei shouted Tao Xiang crisply.
Tao Xiang turned around and saw that Qiu Wei had brought a plate, with tea and snacks, obviously to go in and send it to Jingyi.
"There are a lot of people who come to visit Miss today, and Miss is worried about the trouble of going up and down, so she wrote a letter in her uncle's study......" Qiu Wei looked inside, "What's going on...... Still asleep...... Uncle, I'll go in and wake up Miss. ”
"Wait!" Before Tao Xiang could speak, Tu Huyi came over first, took the plate in Qiu Wei's hand, and said with a smile: "Let Qishao go...... Is the snack mine? I haven't eaten dinner yet, I'm so hungry. ”
Qiu Wei frowned, and in front of Tao Xiang, she gave Tu Huyi a bad sound, and stared at him as he grabbed a piece of the dim sum on the plate and put it in his mouth. She took the rest back.
The two of them were still fighting, and Tao Xiang had already entered the study. When Qiu Wei saw it, she suddenly came back to her senses and stopped talking. Tu Huyi took the opportunity to take another piece of snack, Qiu Wei was about to beat him, looking at his hungry pitiful appearance, he frowned and said, "How can this be?" It's a shame that my uncle is not a person who treats his subordinates harshly, otherwise people would say that he deprived you of food and grass...... Eat slowly! ”
Tu Huyi was already hungry, but as soon as she said it, she paused, swallowed her snack and said, "You don't know how many places I went with Qishao today!" Just now I said that I couldn't bear it outside, and the old horse also said that it was unbearable, and these days he accompanies him, and his legs are thinner...... In the past few weeks since Qi Shao came back, the garrisons have already run all over the place. The rest of the few are close, and the old horse asked me to accompany them...... You say it's infuriating...... He"
"Brother Ma, you've never complained so much." Qiu Wei rolled her eyes and said.
Tu Huyi chewed on the snack and frowned at Qiu Wei.
Qiu Wei was inexplicably looked at by him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Horse ...... Big...... Elder brother? Tu Huyi read these three words heavily.
"You're calling me?" Ma Xingjian came in from outside, just heard it, and asked.
Qiu Wei saw that there was still dim sum on the plate and asked, "Does Brother Ma eat dim sum?" ”
Ma Xingjian thanked her and said no need.
Qiu Wei smiled and asked Tu Huyi again: "You don't need it either, right?" Then I'll clean it up. ”
Tu Huyi watched her take all her things away, stared at Ma Xingjian, and asked angrily: "Didn't you say that you were tired to death and wanted to take a nap in the car?" ”
"yes, I did." Ma Xingjian smiled.
Tu Huyi saw him laughing, and he was even more angry, and said, "Smiling tiger, smiling tiger...... What a smiling tiger. ”
"I'm a horse, you're a tiger." Ma Xingjian snatched a snack from his hand to eat, "What about Qishao?" ”
Ma Xingjian's teeth itched with hatred, and after listening to his question, he pointed to the study.
Ma Xingjian agreed, turned around and went out, intending to wait outside. Tu Huyi also came out, stretched his waist, and took a military hat to fan the wind. After a while, Tu Huyi asked: "Old Ma, did you say that this time, are you going to move the real Ge'er?" ”
Ma Xingjian leaned against the pillar, stood straight, closed his eyes, and did not speak for a long time.
"Old horse?" Tu Huyi asked again.
"Which time did the seven young people not move the real character?" Ma Xingjian said lightly.
Tu Huyi listened, and the tone of Ma Xingjian's words was very similar to Tao Xiang.
"You fancy Xiao Qiuwei, just talk to Grandma Qi. Seeing you scratching your ears and cheeks, you don't know the essentials, I'm really anxious for you. Ma Xingjian still had his eyes closed, but there was a hint of a smile in his tone.
"How do you know?" Tu Huyi shouted.
"Except for Xiao Qiuwei, I know everything." Ma Xingjian simply laughed.
Tu Huyi was stunned for a while before saying, "Then why doesn't she know, is it strange?" ”
"She's still young, and her eyes are clean. If you don't say it, she won't know. Ma Xingjian said in a low voice.
Tu Huyi was silent. He looked at the window of the study, and the soft light came out, but he couldn't see anything else standing here, and he didn't know what was going on inside......
Tao Xiang went into the study and took off his hat.
His study was well ventilated, and at this time, the cool breeze was blowing, and the heat of his body when he walked in quickly disappeared.
Jing Yi fell asleep on the desk, still holding a brush in her hand.
He looked closer, and saw that the letter had already been written, and set aside, a thick wad. He looked at it, and the top one was addressed to Du's ...... The handwriting is extremely delicate, and thanks to her patience, this fly-headed little letter writes one stroke at a time.
I don't know who the letter was addressed to, and the brush was pressed against the paper, and the ink was smeared...... He pulled the brush from her hand.
Jingyi was alarmed and turned around.
Tao Xiang stood aside, thinking that she would wake up now, and didn't want her to remain there. He placed the brush on the inkstone.
The collar of her moon-white gown was tight. With her back to him, I saw that her snow-white neck was exposed, and there were several red bumps. She seemed to be uncomfortable sleeping, and reached out and grabbed the back of her neck, and the ink stains on her hands were on her skin and collar...... Tao Xiang reached over and knocked on the table.
Huali tabletop, knocked a few times, and there was a loud sound.
But she didn't move.
He was about to knock again, but she suddenly sat up straight, half-opened her eyes, and rubbed the ink stains on her face.
He watched her wide-eyed, and saw clearly that it was him, as if he was annoyed, and put his hand on his forehead...... His face turned red. She looked at the clock in disguise and asked, "Have you had dinner?" ”
He said, "No." I'll come back and change my clothes. ”
"Not eating at home?" Jing Yi's mind was not completely sober yet, and when she saw Tao Xiang like this, she was a little confused, and asked almost without thinking. Seeing that he was indispensable, he said, "Grandma asked me not to go over these days, let the kitchen bring food...... It's time too, I'll go talk about it and add a few dishes. ”
Tao Xiang looked at her and wiped her forehead again and said, "Okay." ”
"Okay, I'll go talk to Zhang's mother." Jingyi stood up. I looked down and saw that the letterhead on the table was wet with ink stains, so I put it down and put it aside, "This is a letter to the second brother and second sister-in-law, do you want to attach a few words?" ”
"Just say hello for me." Tao Xiang said.
Jingyi nodded. Anyway, at the end of each of her letters, she said the same thing. She was just about to put away the letter paper and envelope when Tao Xiao picked up the wet towel from the table and handed it to her. She looked at her hand, and it turned out to be ink. She took the towel, went to the basin on the side to wash her hands, and listened to Tao Xiang ask, "Eryi said that you have something to look for me?" ”
Jingyi paused, and suddenly, said, "Yes." Do you remember when I told you that I wanted to hold a prom for Er Yi and her classmates? ”
Tao Xiang smoked a cigarette and nodded.
"I originally wanted to do it at the end of the graduation ceremony, but there were too many things and it was delayed. The eighth sister still remembers, and she also told Ming's classmates that although it is a trivial matter, it is not good to lose faith in others after all. I would like to discuss with you, whether to hold a small dance party, or if the weather is so hot, whether it is a cool garden, in any form, let their classmates get together, it is also the meaning of celebrating their new beginnings...... What do you think? Jing Yi said softly, looking at Tao Xiang.
Tao Xiang was also looking at her, and her eyes couldn't tell what it contained, which made her a little nervous...... She asked, "Is the timing inappropriate?" Or maybe I'm thinking a little simpler...... If it is inconvenient for a while, maybe a time will not disappoint the eighth sister. ”
Tao Xiang looked at her.
She was quite well-worded, and her words were a little cautious. If you want to say anything, you will move forward little by little. It sounded like he had no reason to refuse.
"Just do what you want. The time is yours. Place, you can go to the seventh. He said.
Jingyi listened to him happily agree, a little unexpectedly. And he mentioned the number seven as soon as he opened his mouth, which is indeed a suitable place, "I also consider that my father may not approve of this, and if it is done at home, although my father does not care about these small things, I am afraid that it will be unpleasant...... Is it convenient there? I mean, all it takes is a bigger ballroom......"
"You go and see which one is suitable and what you need, and just explain it to them." Tao Xiang sat down, separated the table, and looked at Jingyi.
Jingyi's mind was completely on the matter they were discussing, nodding her head and saying, "That's good." I'll decide. ”
"These little things, you just have to make up your mind." Tao Xiang flicked the soot.
"It's not a trivial matter...... There is another important thing, the eighth sister is full of female classmates, and I want to invite Cen to come to them. Do you agree? Do they have time? Jingyi asked.
Tao Xiao flicked the cigarette ash again, frowning, but there was no displeasure on his face.
Jingyi said, "Do you know what I mean? ”
"Do you want them to dance with you? It would be better to transfer people from the Air Force. Tao Xiang said.
"It's not! Don't want the Air Force's. Jingyi came over, helped the table, and said, "They...... Let's just consult them. Pick from the people around you. ”
Tao Xiang looked at her for a while and said, "Let Gao Ying bring the roster." ”
"Okay." Jingyi thought it would be better to do this. If she has anything, she can also ask Cen Gaoying.
"That's it." Tao Xiang said.
Jingyi nodded.
"I'm not coming back tonight. Tomorrow I will go to Locke's house for a birthday celebration, and I will go straight over. You accompany your mother out and be careful in everything. Tao Xiang said.
"I understand." Jingyi nodded again.
Tao Xiang told her this, and she was always organized.
It's so clear, it's like a business handover.
"Then I'll go out first." She took the letter, left first, and closed the door for him.
Tao Xiang sat there quietly and finished the cigarette.
There were a few balls of stationery on the table, probably all of which she had written incorrectly and threw aside.
