Chapter 9: The Shadowless Light (13)
Tu Huyi hurriedly urged Ha Deguang, and the sedan chair drivers immediately carried the sedan chair over. Jin Xuan and Qiu Wei helped to open the sedan curtain one by one.
Tao Xiang bent down and put Jingyi into the sedan chair, turned around and said, "Qiu Wei gets on the sedan chair." β
"Yes, uncle." Qiu Wei agreed. Jin Xuan took the things in Qiu Wei's hand, Qiu Wei turned around and retreated, sat next to Jing Yi, and put down the shelf. She held Jingyi's hand and asked, "Miss, does it matter to you?" β
Jingyi shook her head.
There is a small glass lamp hanging in the sedan chair, and the heating equipment should be placed under the seat.
This warmth, she couldn't help but tremble even more.
Qiu Wei was about to take off her clothes when she was stopped by Jing Yi.
"Get up." This deep voice was the man in black.
The sedan chair was airtight and stuffy, and Qiu Wei patted Jingyi's back.
Jingyi leaned over the shelf. The sedan chair was swaying, and the sedan chair drivers were stepping on the snow, all of which were creaking, which was originally very subtle, but Jingyi felt as if a little mouse was biting her eardrum...... I don't know how long it took, but the sedan chair finally stopped.
The sedan curtain was lifted again, and Qiu Wei helped Jingyi to bow her head and get out of the sedan chair.
When I came out, I found that the sedan chair was carried directly into the room. As soon as her feet hit the ground, it was a soft carpet. The room is brightly lit and is almost entirely Western-style displays. Only the twelve-leaf red sandalwood treasure inlaid huge screen in the living room has some Chinese flavor...... Jingyi came from the dark and solemn Luo Rui Hall, and the huge gap between the two made her a little stunned.
Although Tao Xiang came in for the first time, he was not surprised. After looking at it a few times, he saw that his eyes were full of red and beaming, so he asked, "When was all this prepared?" "The interior furnishings are as luxurious as the Jingzhong Garden; What was even more unexpected was this small Spanish-style building, and when he entered the courtyard, he only took a cursory look at it, and he already felt amazing. It's just that he doesn't have the mood to appreciate his new home at the moment. He glanced at Jingyiβshe saw the grand piano in the living room, and walked over slowly; Qiu Wei untied the gray squirrel cloak that was covering her outside, and she still wore his black cloak inside. His cloak was indeed too long for her to be dragged on the ground, and it was hard for her to have been dragged in the snow for so long...... She stood down and sat down on the piano bench.
But it turned out that he was not interested in the place where he had just gone, but urgently needed a place to sit down and rest.
He listened to Hade Guang explain: "...... The house has been renovated a long time ago, or that year when you returned to China for a vacation, leaving a few picture albums, the eldest young master saw it and liked it, and discussed with the master that it was better to try to rebuild, if it was a share, use the few idle places in the old house next door...... This house has been renovated, and the old man originally wanted to let the eldest young master move in...... This time, the old lady said that no one in the family was used to this Western-style life, so she let the new house be arranged here......"
Tao Xiang nodded and said, "It's been a short time since I came back, and I don't know this." β
"Seventh Young Master, you are busy, eating a meal at home is like a war, where can you have the time to take care of these idle things...... Seventh Young Master, Seventh Young Grandmother, all the people who are serving in this courtyard are here. Hade Guang said.
Jing Yi raised her eyes, and sure enough, in the corridor by the door, cleanly dressed male and female servants stood in two rows. Standing at the front was a clean older woman. Hade Guang said that this was Zhang's mother. When Zhang's mother saw Jingyi looking at her, she hurriedly squatted down and saluted, calling "Seventh Young Grandma".
Jingyi nodded.
Tao Xiao said: "Mother Zhang stays, and the others go down first." β
Hade Guang waited for Tao Xiang's instructions, and Tao Xiang asked Jingyi, "Is there anything else?" β
Jingyi shook her head.
"Go ahead. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Guang. Tao Xiang said.
"It should. Seventh young master, seventh young grandmother, rest early. Hade Guang also withdrew.
Chen's mother and Jin Xuan are the people next to Mrs. Tao, and Tao Xiang specially explained two sentences and let them go.
As soon as the door was closed, in addition to Tao Xiang and Jingyi in the living room, only Zhang Ma, Qiu Wei and Ma Tu were there.
Tao Xiang took off his coat, sat on the sofa, and instructed Zhang's mother: "Take the young grandmother to go up and change clothes." β
"Yes." Zhang's mother agreed, and came over to say to Jingyi: "Young grandma, your bedroom is upstairs, please come with me." β
Jing Yi had already seen the maroon wooden staircase. It's a bit hard for her to go up at this moment. She saw Tao Xiang looking at her silently, and she had to cheer up and follow Mama Zhang.
Tao Xiang saw that with the movement of her footsteps, the dazzling red of the black cloak that was open from time to time was faintly visible...... Tu Huyi asked him what tea he wanted to drink, and he said, "Brandy." β
Zhang's mother took Jingyi to the bedroom.
Jingyi didn't care about what to look at, and when she heard Zhang's mother say that this was the place, she followed in and found that it was a small living room, so she asked, "Where is the bathroom?" β
"This is the ...... Young grandma, this bathe? Isn't it okay to have an empty stomach? The young master is still waiting for you to eat, and the old lady has just asked someone to bring dinner. "Mother Zhang is short, talking to Jingyi, she has to look up her face.
Jingyi looked at her and couldn't help but think of her nurse Qiao's mother, and said with a pleasant face: "I really don't have an appetite." Put hot water on me, Mom Zhang, I want to take a bath. β
Zhang's mother had already seen Jingyi's dirty and messy appearance, and when she said this, she went.
Qiu Wei helped Jingyi untie her cloak and said, "I'll help Mama Zhang...... Miss, you really don't eat? β
Jingyi shook her head and sat on the sofa closest to her.
Qiu Wei walked away, she propped her head and looked at the furnishings in the bedroom. There was nothing inconvenient for her, everything was brand new and never opened. She touched the golden tassels on the gold velvet sofa cushions...... The dog's barking came in suddenly, and Jingyi stroked her chest
"It's the wolf dog in the yard of the eldest young master. The courtyard of the eldest young master is next to this side. Zhang's mother came out and saw Jingyi as if she was disturbed by the dog's barking, so she hurriedly explained.
Qiu Wei followed out.
"You go to dinner with Zhang's mother, I'll come by myself." Jingyi said.
"I'll serve Miss." Qiu Wei said.
Seeing this, Mother Zhang hurriedly said, "Young grandma, let Miss Qiuwei be here." Shall I go down and bring her food? β
"It's still thoughtful and thoughtful." Qiu Wei said.
"We are new, and my grandmother is afraid of inconvenience. Then I'll go and ask the young grandmother to bathe. Zhang's mother said goodbye.
Jingyi waited for Qiu Wei to close the door before asking, "Why don't you go to dinner?" β
"I don't feel at ease about handing over Miss to someone else." Qiu Wei said without thinking.
Jing Yi walked to the bathroom wearing only a close-fitting silk coat, and said, "What else is there to worry about...... she said vaguely, leaning against the door, looking at the steamy bathroom-so clean and comfortable that she felt like she could sit down and fall asleep immediately--snow-white floor tiles, snow-white walls, and a huge snow-white bathtub with four golden feet, filled with steaming hot bath water with a slight green...... Jingyi walked over and touched the water temperature, which was just right.
"Let's get out." She said.
"Miss, at least let me help you get rid of this dress." Qiu Wei looked at Jing Yi funny.
The red silk coat was sewn in a mess. Her emergency measures, I didn't expect that they would really be used at a critical time.
Jingyi said, "Give me the scissors." β
Qiu Wei went out again to find scissors for her. She took it, cut a small hole in the placket, and reached out and tore it off. The silk was extremely thin, and in an instant, she shrunk her arms and took off her blouse.
"It's a pity." Qiu Wei picked it up, hung it on her arm, looked at Jing Yi and looked at her with only her corset and underwear left, and stared at her. She sighed and said with a smile, "Miss, you are really...... I'm out and waiting. Soap, towels, and everything are ready. There is a bubble bath in that box, which is Miss Biao's favorite kind, just put one...... Do you remember the first time Miss Cousin gave you two boxes, and I poured one box at a time? β
"Do you remember that?"
"Foam keeps coming out of the bathtub, half of the bathroom is foam, but I was frightened, Miss Cousin scolded me, saying Qiu Wei, are you letting your young lady take a bath? That's burnt skin! Qiu Wei gestured.
Jing Yi glanced at the pink box. It is indeed a flawless favorite one, a rose flavor. But what she needed right now was to wash herself, not to enjoy the bath.
"Don't go out yet? I'll call you when I'm done. She said.
Qiu Wei, this girl, seems to be very tired, but she doesn't forget to make her happy.
Qiu Wei turned around and went out, closed the door, and listened to the sound inside the door, the slight sound of water, thinking that the young lady had started to take a bath.
She looked back at this room, this door and that door, and she couldn't figure out what it was doing for a while, so she moved a high-backed chair and sat next to the bathroom, guarding.
The floor clock in the corner of the living room rang nine times, and Qiu Wei touched her stomach, so hungry......
Jingyi got into the bathtub, and for a moment, sank into the water.
Surrounded by hot water, she couldn't hear or see anything, her eyes were oppressed, sour and sour, and when she opened her eyes, she saw only the deformed ceiling, the snow-white bottom, painted with golden flowers, and the golden splendor of a European-style palace...... Maybe there's something coming out of my eyes, mixed with the hot water...... She sat up, wiped the water from her face, picked up the soap, and rubbed it herself.
Half of the soap had been used by her, and she still felt the smell of blood on her body.
I didn't stop until my fingers were wrinkled.
She was sitting on the couch in a bathrobe, and she wanted to ask Qiu Wei to bring her clothes to change, but she didn't even bother to open her mouth, and unconsciously, her eyelids sank......
Tao Xiang came upstairs, and the upstairs living room was empty.
He paced for a moment before pushing the door to the living room. He pushed the door lightly, and when he went in, he raised his eyes and saw Qiu Wei sitting on a high-backed chair napping - holding the back of the chair, opening her mouth, and her saliva was about to flow...... He walked over and looked at the little girl.
Tuan Tuan's face is still a little childish, and there are bruises, because he has cried, his eyes are red and swollen.
Tao Xiang coughed lightly.
Qiu Wei looked up, still holding the back of the chair, and saw Tao Xiang standing in front of her, with her mouth open for a long time before calling "uncle".
Tao Xiang thought, this shout was so loud that I was afraid that everyone downstairs would hear it.
He asked, "What about Miss?" β
Qiu Wei immediately said, "Miss hasn't finished taking a shower yet!" Oops...... Why haven't you finished washing yet...... Damn it...... Miss, Miss! She hurriedly turned and knocked on the door.
Tao Xiang watched the dazed Qiu Wei push and knock on the door, and didn't open it for a long time, she was so anxious that she almost cried, and turned her face to him and shouted, "Uncle, what should I do?" β
Tao Xiang checked and saw that the door was locked from the inside.
"Go and ask Mama Zhang to get the key to open the door." Tao Xiang said.
Qiu Wei hurriedly ran out, and after a while, she called Zhang's mother to come up, opened the bathroom door, Qiu Wei broke in first, and just wanted to call "Miss", she saw Jingyi sleeping on the couch - she was only wearing a bathrobe, shrunk there with her bare legs, and her long hair hung down to the ground, still wet...... Qiu Wei's eyes were wet again, and she said, "Why are you falling asleep like this......"
"It's going to catch a cold." Zhang's mother said worriedly, "Young master, let the young grandmother go back to the room to sleep." β
Tao Xiang walked over and looked at Jingyi for a while before picking her up.
Jing Yi first shrank back, then leaned against his chest, and rubbed it again, as if she had found a more comfortable position, and then stopped moving...... Tao Xiang was stunned, only to realize that it was not the first time he had looked at her like this. Only last time, she had a high fever and was in critical condition.
"Uncle?" Qiu Wei was stunned when she saw Tao Xiang and urged him.
Their bedroom was next to it, and Qiu Wei turned on the light, hung up the tent, and pulled the quilt out of the bed.
Tao Xiang put Jingyi down, reached out and touched Jingyi's forehead, but there was no fever.
Jingyi grabbed his wrist impatiently in her sleep and pulled it away.
Tao Xiang frowned.
Jingyi also seemed to realize something, and opened her eyes sharply at this time.
"Awake?" Tao Xiang asked.
Jing Yi sat up with a sigh of relief. The bathrobe was loose, and she wasn't wearing anything underneath...... "Why are you here?" She hurriedly pulled up her bathrobe, felt that it was not enough, and pulled the quilt over her body again. You go out. β
Tao Xiang in front of him was only wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up, although he was still wearing breeches and boots, he looked casual, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her, and not making a sound.
Jing Yi involuntarily stepped back.
Tao Xiang watched as she panicked and tried to hide her body as much as possible.
The quilt is not thick, and she pulls it so tightly, which actually highlights her beautiful figure.
