Chapter 19: A Sleepy Dream (16)
"What do you think, so distracted?" He asked.
Jingyi looked at him. Slightly drunk Tao Xiang, with a deep voice.
This warm summer night is full of tenderness and charm...... She looked at him, and suddenly her heart sank as if something had fallen...... He had just said something very important to her. At this time, he looked at her like this, and his gaze almost fell straight to the bottom of her heart. He was probably waiting for her to say something.
She took a deep breath, shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law is so beautiful like this...... She said that their workshop was going to perform "The Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers". β
Tao Xiang raised his eyebrows, and after a while, he said, "I was thinking about this." What's the matter, it's just a way to make grandma happy. β
He still looked at Jingyi, but Jingyi didn't say anything else. He smiled slightly, and looked down at her small hand that was held in the palm of his hand. The bracelet on her wrist slipped into her shirt, her fingers bare, nothing...... He took her other hand, which was also bare, and glanced at her.
Jingyi whispered, "I don't know when I lost my ......"
I can still remember that it was when she went to see him off before he left for Xinjiang.
Tao Xiang held her hand, touched it gently, and then separated, and said, "If you lose it, you will lose it." It's a blessing that you didn't lose yourself. β
Hearing what he said, her original feeling of apology was suddenly swept away, and she pulled her hand to push him.
"I'm a big living person, where can I lose it? Go away, it's been a long time, it's time for your father to look for you. She said.
Tao Xiao smiled like a smile, nodded, and said, "It won't be long." β
Jingyi couldn't help but itch her teeth with hatred when she saw him like this.
Tao Xiang wanted to laugh, but held back.
There was something else ahead, and he really couldn't delay it for too long. Seeing that he just didn't move, Jingyi urged him to go first again, saying that he would retouch his makeup before going out. And he was gone.
Jingyi leaned against the pillar, only felt that her legs were weak, and turned around and sat down.
There was a slight sourness in her heart.
Tao Xiang is not a person who can easily say such things, she should answer him, but for some reason she held back when the words came to her mouth.
Almost, just a little, I had to promise him everything......
"Young grandma?" Mother Zhang had been standing a few steps away in front of Jingyi for a long time, seeing her sit on the stone bench with her knees held and not moving for a long time, her expression was also a little strange, and she couldn't help but call her.
Jingyi slowed down, looked up at Zhang's mother, who was looking at her with concern, and said, "I'll go make up and go out again." β
She went upstairs.
It's just to clean the fat powder on her face, and she's very fast. It just took a while to straighten her little hair curls in front of the mirror...... She turned to leave, the tassel from her purse on her waist hooked into the drawer. The shiny gold leaf wrapped around the tassel, and she pulled it down, and the tassel came off.
She took off the purse, took it in her hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, recognizing that this gold thread purse was Fu Lizhen's craftsmanship. I can't remember when I got it, but I haven't gotten such small and beautiful gifts from her in the past few years. From purses to fan covers, they are all given casually. Jingyi held the purse for a long time before opening the drawer and putting it in. She touched a bunch of keys with her fingers, picked them up, opened the sandalwood treasure box on the side, opened the first one on it, and took out a black velvet cloth bag from it and opened itβthe black velvet cloth bag contained a stethoscope. This stethoscope is also old, and it hasn't been used for a long time, and it still looks clean...... It can be seen that its original owner still cherishes it very much.
Jingyi put down the stethoscope, looked at it for a while, put it in the cloth bag as it was, and locked it.
When she came out, she saw Zhang's mother waiting outside, and she softly told Zhang's mother that if they came back late, let her and Yue'er go to rest early. She said and touched the head of the white lion, and poured: "With it, one of its top ten guards, outsiders can't enter our courtyard." β
Zhang's mother followed her, but when she heard this, she said, "You can't be careless, young grandma." It is said that it is difficult to prevent thieves day and night. Although our home is peaceful, it is always better to be careful. You see, our courtyard has been relatively clean for the past two years, because our door is tight and the door is locked all the time...... Not to mention far, didn't Aunt Su let a messenger on the three doors take away two pieces of jewelry last month? Although it was caught in time, it was scary in the end...... But there is also the credit of the white lion. With the white lion here, we don't have to worry about it. β
Jing Yi smiled and said, "White Lion Nose Spirit." The smell of a living person can be immediately recognized. β
"Not really. It's fine, and the young master and the young grandmother can remember it...... Surely others will not succeed. The florist Wang Du said that after coming so many times to prune the flowers and plants, the white lion still bit him when he saw him. In the past few years, the flowers and plants in our yard have grown so wildly, all because people dare not come to prune. Zhang's mother said with a smile.
Jingyi took the white lion's neck buckle and laughed when she heard it.
Zhang's mother saw her smile, and she was even happier, and said, "I'm usually very well-behaved." It's the old man who used to be on the eldest young master's side, sometimes called a mad man. β
Jingyi's heart moved, let go of the white lion's neck, clapped her hands and let it go away, and looked at Zhang's mother thoughtfully.
Seeing that there was an uncertain look on her face, like Fang Cai, Mama Zhang asked, "What does Grandma have to order?" β
Jingyi looked at her as she walked, and after a moment of silence, she said, "No." β
Seeing that Qiuwei didn't come back, Zhang's mother hurriedly asked Yue'er to follow.
Jingyi took Yue'er with her, and smiled before going out: "Mom Zhang, you are too careful and too careful...... There is a Qiu Wei who already seems arrogant, plus Zhang's mother, no wonder people criticize Grandma Qi. β
Zhang's mother was silent.
Jingyi left with Yue'er, and Zhang's mother sighed and said in an inaudible voice: "I am a careful person there...... Young grandmothers are careful people. β
Jingyi didn't know that Zhang's mother was standing at the gate of Langyuan and watched her and Yue'er go away without seeing anyone before going back.
When she returned to the theater, a play "The Drunken Concubine" was in full swing. The ladies and ladies upstairs were fascinated by it. No one seemed to notice that Jingyi had been away for a long time, she returned to her place and sat down, Qiu Wei came over to change her tea, and asked her with her eyes. She nodded, she was really thirsty at this time, and took the tea bowl and drank it. I didn't want to feel that the taste was wrong after only two sips, so I couldn't help but look at Qiu Wei and frowned: "What is this?" It tastes weird. β
Qiu Wei said strangely: "Tea, it's the same as Fang Cai, what's the blame?" β
Jingyi frowned, and Qiu Wei hurriedly took the tea bowl away to her to change.
The second young grandmother of the Shui family, who was sitting on Jing Yi's right hand, listened to the master and servant finish speaking, pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Seventh young grandmother, shouldn't you be happy?" β
