Chapter VIII

[Chapter 8: Snow Like Jade and Crystal]

The first snow since the beginning of winter was so heavy that it was unexpected. The rare cold that followed by Shu Remnant's jaw boil made people seem to shrink their flesh and bones by three points.

Cheng Jingyi stayed by her mother Feng Wanyi's bedside as usual this day, waiting for her to eat and take medicine. It has been a few days since Wan Wei became ill, and although she seems to be fine, Jingyi is still not at ease.

"Didn't you make an appointment to take a photo today? It's time for you to get ready to go out. Don't let the Seventh Young Master wait. Wan Wei said. Her breath was a little weak, more than usual to make people think that she was weak.

"Mother, I'm ......" As soon as Jingyi spoke, Wan Wei already knew what she was going to say, and looked at her with disgust.

Jingyi stopped.

She remembered that the doctor would come for a follow-up appointment in the morning, and she completely forgot about the photo shoot.

"I'm just getting dizzy, it's not a big deal, it's all right. The seventh young master is busy, and there is a fixed number of days when things are arranged. Don't change it temporarily, make it difficult for him. Wan Wei said, pushing Jingyi, "You listen to your mother, go change your clothes and get ready to go out." Mother also listen to your words and rest well. How is it? Syria"

Jingyi repeatedly confirmed that she was okay before going to change her clothes. As soon as it was replaced, someone came to report that the Tao family's car had arrived. Jingyi said goodbye to her mother and went to the upper room to talk to Du Shi. Du Shi inevitably gave another advice.

"Here we are." Ma Xingjian, who was standing next to the car, said.

Tao Xiang in the car.

The first to come out of the gate were Sibao and Qiu Wei, who always followed Jingyi. The sturdy Four Treasures were still holding a huge chest. It took a while for Jing Yi to come out of it.

Ma Xingjian saw Jingyi and opened the car door.

Jingyi got into the car and sat next to Tao Xiang, without explaining why she was late. Tao Xiang didn't ask.

She looked at the military jeep parked in the back. When I went out to take a photo, there were two cars following, which I didn't think was a solemn thing, but it also seemed solemn.

Oaks Photo Studio, located on East Chang'an Avenue, is one of the best photo studios in Beiping, and the photographers are a father and daughter from the United States. Jingyi had been there to take pictures a few times, and Mr. Oakes had also come to take pictures, so he was not unfamiliar. After arriving, Ma Xingjian led someone to bring things in, and Miss Oakes immediately came out to greet her.

Jingyi saw the large photos in the window, one on the left and one on the right, which were flawless and innocent with their respective husbands. It is a handsome pair, dressed in a white gauze dress and a black tuxedo dress respectively, which is more elegant and elegant.

In the reflection of the glass window, she saw Tao Xiang.

The shadows of the two were imprinted together, and Jing Yi turned her head to look at himβ€”she couldn't imagine that she would actually take pictures with him...... She tucked her black fox coat together.

The chill after the snow is unbearable.

Miss Oakes smiled and said, "The photos of the two Miss Zhao also happened to be taken by us. It's an honor to be able to take pictures of Mi Sicheng...... Miss Cheng inside please. You're all set. ”

Upstairs in the photo studio, Qiu Wei had already hung up several sets of clothes in the dressing room. Miss Oakes is the general coordinator of today's photo shoot, and she has taken the trouble to communicate with Qiu Wei about the photo process in her somewhat stiff Chinese. Qiu Wei arranged the costumes according to Miss Oakes' words.

Miss Oakes came in to take a look, and then went out to find Tu Huyi, and put him in charge of Tao Xiang's dress.

A small dressing room, a charcoal basin was specially placed.

Jing Yi remembered that she could go back to serve her mother earlier after the filming, and she didn't care whether it was cold or not, so she changed into a long-sleeved cheongsam and came out first in order.

Tao Xiang was wearing an ivory three-piece dress and white three-piece leather shoes, and he was already standing in his seat waiting.

Jing Yi made an appointment and stood beside him.

Oches's father and daughter both smiled when they saw the two of them standing far away.

"Let's get closer." Old Oakes said with a smile.

Jingyi looked at Tao Xiang, Tao Xiang didn't move, she had to lean towards him.

Miss Oakes simply walked over, pushed Jingyi in front of Tao Xiang, pulled Tao Xiang's hand on Jingyi's arm, and said, "Intimate, intimate." She repeated the word, gesturing to bring the two closer together.

After taking a few shots, Old Oakes said, "No, no. His hand arced at the corner of his mouth, "Smile, smile...... Mi Sicheng, will you have a smile? Know that today you are the most beautiful bride. ”

Tao Xiang glanced at Jingyi.

The smile on her face really wasn't up to par.

"Did you quarrel? Mistertaur, would you like to kiss your bride? Make her smile sweetly. The photos are good. Old Oakes said, crossing his waist. It looks very serious, it doesn't even look like it's a joke.

Jingyi was stunned for a moment.

"Okay." Tao Xiao said, taking off his top hat, as if he was really about to kiss.

Although Jingyi knew that Tao Xiang would not really do this in front of people, she was suddenly a little flustered, she took a step back, and "just happened" to step on Tao Xiang's feet.

"I'm sorry......" she said, moving her feet away. But he also took another step to the side, and the distance was even farther.

"It's okay." Tao Xiang's face did not change, and he whispered, "If you don't want me to do what Mr. Oakes said, laugh." ”

Jingyi bit her lip, and then, a smile bloomed.

"Good...... Much better...... Laugh again. Old Oakes kept repeating his request.

He asked the two to stand side by side for a while, and one in front of the other...... Miss Oakes didn't stop changing the set. Only one cheongsam was photographed, and Jingyi was already tired. But seeing Tao Xiang unhurriedly cooperating with Old Oakes' request, full of interest, it seemed to her that it was incredible.

I don't know where the two of them were being photographed like puppets with a string of strings, where his interest came from...... Is it funny enough to see her so awkward?

"Miss, you are like the Seventh Young Master, be at ease." Qiu Wei whispered advice while she was changing clothes, and she glared at her fiercely. Qiu Wei didn't dare to speak more.

Jing Yi changed into a skirt, Tao Xiang also changed into a robe and horse coat, holding a melon skin hat in his hand, but threw it aside. It's just that Jingyi's soles are thin, and standing beside Tao Xiang, she is much shorter than him. Old Oakes looked at the camera, asked his daughter to move a wooden board for Jingyi, and placed a pot of peony flowers in front of her.

Jing Yi stood up with a horse-faced skirt, and the top of her hair finally reached Tao Xiang's earlobe.

She had no head, wore heavy and intricate gold ornaments, and stood there barely trying to move. Fortunately, Tao Xiang is in a better state, and as long as Jingyi cooperates with him, it is enough. Old Oakes was quite satisfied with the performance of the two, and this group shot very smoothly.

took photos of Jingyi's two suits, and after Tao Xiang changed into a military dress and took a photo with her, he waited for Jingyi to change into the last wedding dress.

When Qiu Wei dragged the yarn for Jing Yi, she found that Jing Yi was shivering, so she hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked, "Miss, is it cold?" ”

Jingyi shook her head and said, "Panic." ”

"Worried about my wife?" Qiu Wei asked.

She said, "You go and borrow the phone from Miss Oakes and ask how your wife is." ”

Qiu Wei agreed to go out.

Jing Yi took the lip brush and applied it twice on her depigmented mouth after a while. Miss Oakes asked her through the door if she was okay, and she threw her lip brush and dragged her gown out. The dress was long, and she had to slow down so as not to step on the hem of her skirt.

Tao Xiang was pacing with his head down, and when he saw her, he frowned.

Jing Yi saw that his dark gray military uniform was hung with ribbons and medals, black leather boots were knee-length, shiny, and white gloves were worn all over his body. Fortunately, her heels were high enough to stand beside him so that they wouldn't look too thin.

Old Oakes smiled and gave a thumbs up and asked his daughter to change the set to the simplest.

was about to shoot, Tao Xiang said something and so on.

He raised his hand and pulled Jingyi's chin over.

When Jing Yi saw him like this in front of people, her face immediately changed.

Tao Xiao didn't speak, but just took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her lower lip for her. Jing Yi saw a line of crimson on the handkerchief, like mosquito blood, and suddenly her face was hot, she snatched the handkerchief, wiped her lips fiercely, and held the handkerchief in the palm of her hand.

Tao Xiang glanced at her, wearing ivory white silk gloves on his hands, and clutching his gray handkerchief, clenching so tightly, needless to say flustered and shy, that his dress trembled. He pulled the handkerchief from her hand and put it back in his pocket. Ignore her staring at the boss's eyes, as if she wanted to strangle him to death in front of these people...... He took advantage of the sideways to change his position and asked in a low voice, "Just for a while, you can't hold on, right?" ”

Jingyi gritted her teeth.

Tao Xiang stood up again and shook her hand.

With this handshake, Jing Yi's eyes widened involuntarily and she forgot to smile.

His hands were large and strong, wrapping her in the palm of his hand. She didn't actually want to pull her hand, knowing that it was inappropriate to pull her hand back at this time, and it should only be for a while...... Like he said, just for a moment, she should be able to hold on.

Old Oakes finished filming, and said with annoyance: "Mi Sicheng, smile...... Laugh...... Laugh a little more......"

Finally, Old Oakes was satisfied, and Jingyi's face was already stiff.

Fortunately, it was Tao Xiang's turn to change her dress, and she sat down on the ornate gold-painted chair.

Old Oakes found it to be a good pose and took some more pictures of her. She couldn't laugh anymore, and luckily no one asked her to laugh.

When Tao Xiang came back, Jingyi was still sitting there.

"That's enough, right?" Jingyi asked. It's a little hateful, as if the man in front of him has done something heinous.

Hearing this, Tao Xiang put his hand on her shoulder.

As soon as Jingyi's hand moved, he immediately grabbed it, didn't give her a chance at all, and said, "Look at the camera." ”

Jing Yi turned her face away, and the magnesium light flashed.

She was just about to stand up.

Tao Xiang held her down and said, "Four treasures, Qiu Wei, come." Atul, call the ponies in. He gestured to the seat next to him and beckoned them to come and take pictures.

Jing Yi was stunned for a moment.

Qiu Wei was also stunned when they were called by their names. Seeing that Tao Xiang was not joking, he came over in turn, but he didn't know where to stand. Jingyi asked Qiu Wei to stand beside her, and the others stood on both sides.

It's just that this photo, either this one closed his eyes, or the one who didn't smile, and took a lot of time to take a cup of tea.

"Go ahead." Tao Xiang said.

Jingyi walked away.

After Tao Xiang took a few more solo photos, he said to Old Oakes that it was okay.

Old Oakes wanted to take a few more shots. Tao Xiang shook his hand and said that there was still something to do in the future, and he had already filmed a lot, so he couldn't delay it any longer...... Jing Yi was changing clothes inside, and when she heard Tao Xiang say that there was something behind her, she was silent for a moment and asked Qiu Wei: "Was it my wife who answered the phone in person just now?" ”

Qiu Wei shook her head and said, "Mother Dong took it." Said that my wife was fine. ”

Jingyi tied the last button, shook her head and said, "I always feel inappropriate." ”

Qiu Wei put away all the clothes, looked at her and said, "Could it be that Mother Dong can still lie to us?" ”

Jingyi shook her head.

Dong's mother didn't necessarily lie to her...... She stood in front of the dressing mirror and straightened her clothes, and took off the ornaments in her hair and handed them to Qiu Wei to put away.

Qiu Wei whispered, "The Seventh Young Master is really careful. Miss remember to wash one more photo, I want to keep it...... Oh yes, Miss, I just went down to call and that Atul heard me and asked me what was the matter. I didn't tell him about him. Qiu Wei's faint eyebrows twisted, which seemed very unpleasant.

Jingyi didn't care.

Although Tu Huyi is the person next to Tao Xiang, he is not so annoying.

Jing Yi thought, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and the position of her chin that was pinched by Tao Xiang left a mark, and she really couldn't wipe it if she wanted to. She flicked her hair irritably......

When she went back, she and Tao Xiang were still in the same car, but it made her feel more uncomfortable than when she came.

The sun was just right at noon, the snow had melted, the road was a little muddy, the car was driving fast, and the front windshield was splashed with mud.

Jingyi wanted to open the closed curtain to look outside, but she knew that her hand had just stretched out, and before she could touch the curtain, she was pulled by Tao Xiang. She pulled her hand angrily, and the anger she had endured for a long time was finally about to burst out, but when she turned her face and saw Tao Xiang's cold expression, she was stunned.

"This is Beiping." Jingyi said.

"But your surname is Tao." He said.

"Not yet." Jing Yi corrected him, "Even if it is, it is far from being in danger all the time. ”

Tao Xiao threw her hand away.

"Go to the hospital." Tao Xiang said.

"Take me home first. Today's business is over. Jingyi said immediately.

Tao Xiang said: "Aunt Yu has entered the hospital. ”
