Ma Xingjian came over and pulled him up. After Shu Yi walked around, he felt that there was no place on his body that didn't hurt, and it was dirty and smelly. He looked at the black horse behind him—the groom was leading it, still neighing and shaking his head in disbelief. So he went over, patted it on the back, and explained, "No matter who serves in the future, be careful." It's not a snow race. He has committed sex and does not recognize people. ”

"Seventh Master, none of your horses are good-tempered. Saixue is not easy to serve. The groom said with a smile on his face.

Tao Xiang smiled and waved his hand.

He walked to the side of the racecourse, where Jingyi was still there.

No one said anything, and naturally, she walked beside him.

Eryi happily led her Mary and Ash back to the stable. Waiting for her work, Tao Xiang asked, "Didn't you say that you can't ride a horse?" ”

When he came, he was happy to see her playing. Although it is rusty, it can be seen that it is well trained in riding.

"It's only sideways, not counted." Jingyi said.

Tao Xiang wanted to say something, but suddenly felt clammy and sticky. Ma Xingjian took his coat, and he was too heavy. But Jingyi took it for him, but he couldn't get it dressed. This time, I have already put aside what I just wanted to say.

"You'd better be careful in the future." Jingyi said softly. Watching him tame the horse, it is a bit of a desperate posture, which makes people frightened.

Tao Xiang looked at her and didn't say anything.

Jingyi thought that he thought he was troublesome, and he didn't say anything anymore.

When I went back, Zhang's mother saw that the two of them were covered in dust, and she was busy asking people to put water for them to bathe.

Jingyi was unprepared to go horseback riding, she didn't even wear a hat, and her hair was full of dust at this time, and it took a while to wash it. By the time she came out, Tao Xiang had already packed up and was pacing in the living room.

Tao Xiang saw that Jingyi had changed her clothes, the weather had been warm these days, and she was not so bloated.

Think about the time flies quickly, the plum blossoms in the yard have bloomed and fallen, and after a while, the peach blossoms should be budding......

Jingyi saw that he was distracted, and asked softly, "Aren't you going yet?" ”

He said he had something to go out tonight, but he didn't say anything.

Wearing ordinary clothes when going out, it can be seen that it is not official business.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, she caught a glimpse of a stack of newspapers on the table, picked it up and flipped through it.

Tao Xiang put on his coat and saw that Jingyi opened the newspaper as if he was fixed there, and he didn't move for a while. He frowned.

She glanced at him quickly and closed the newspaper.

Tao Xiang lit a cigarette. He looked at Jing Yi, and at that glance was like a frightening glance, he couldn't tell what was in his eyes. With such a large pair of eyes, there are so many things that can be contained.

Jing folded the newspaper and put it back on the coffee table neatly.

She looked at the time and said, "It's time for you to go out...... I have to go to my grandmother's. ”

Tao Xiang sat down instead, and Jingyi went downstairs, her steps were extremely fast......

The corners of his mouth twitched.

"Seven less?" Ma Xingjian came up to urge him.

Tao Xiang held the English-language newspaper in Shanghai in his hand. After flipping through it a little, I immediately found the news, although it was not on the front page, the article was accompanied by photos, and it was still very conspicuous: "When the popular celebrity, the fragrance of the jade died" - Xiao Yuxian and the pianist took the plane from Beiping to Jinan, and fell off the cliff due to heavy fog. A group of 17 people, including the crew members, did not survive. Xiao Yuxian's posthumous photo, smiling and smiling; The scene of the plane crash was a mess...... In a crash of this magnitude, I am afraid that the result will be that the bones will be difficult to find.

He threw down the newspaper, watched Zhang's mother come up to deliver tea, and asked, "Are the newspapers delivered on time?" ”

When Zhang's mother asked, she hurriedly replied: "Yes." The day came, and it was sent to the young grandmother on the same day. It's the same as the one in the young master's study. ”

Ma Xingjian looked at Tao Xiang and asked, "Is it ......?"

Tao Xiang thought of Jingyi's example, stood up and tied the button under his chin.

Ma Xingjian looked at his face and didn't dare to say anything more.

Tao Xiang walked downstairs.

……

Jingyi was called by Mrs. Tao when she was at Mrs. Tao's place.

She thought that her mother-in-law had something to explain to her, and she didn't want her to arrive, so Mrs. Tao said that there was a novel fruit from the south and asked her to bring it back by the way. It was said that the Bai family had it airlifted, and it was all fresh.

The fruit was only an excuse, of course, and Madame Tao had something to say to her. Since Yamei left, Jingyi began to feel that Mrs. Tao's attitude towards her had changed subtly. She could feel it.

"In the summer, there are lychees. Mrs. Bai knows that we have people buying it every year, so she personally asks about this matter. Only the old lady and the seventh child love to eat that thing at home, and they have to work hard to get some back every year...... Don't know what fruit you like? Mrs. Tao asked Jingyi with a smile.

"Grapes." Jingyi replied honestly.

Mrs. Tao looked at her and smiled, and said, "This is easy. Like Brother Xiang, not only fruits, but also what you eat, you are picky, troublesome. ”

Jingyi thinks about it, isn't it, this is a living "riding on the red dust concubine laughing".

Mrs. Tao asked Ke'er to bring two brocade boxes to Jingyi.

Jingyi was about to open it, but Mrs. Tao said that it was not a good thing, and it was not too early for her to go back and see it again. Jingyi received the reward and took her leave.

Mrs. Tao asked again before she left: "The pair of bracelets you married to are still good, why didn't you see them wearing?" ”

Jing Yi's heart jumped, thinking about the pair of bracelets...... She has already lost and given away. At this time, I had the heart to tell my mother-in-law the truth, but I couldn't say it for a while, and there was an uncomfortable look on my face.

Fortunately, Mrs. Tao didn't care very much, but just asked that sentence and asked Ke'er to send her out.

Jingyi walked out, still thinking about the pair of bracelets.

Ke'er smiled: "Seventh young grandmother is so honest. In front of the mother-in-law, people will say that any fruit is good, and they can't wait for their mother-in-law to give what to eat and please people...... Only the young grandmother is honest and asks what to say. ”

Jingyi was a little stunned and asked, "What you said is wrong?" ”

Ke'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "No." Quietly told the young grandmother that the lady was talking to the seventh master this morning, and the young grandmother was really a little naïve...... The young grandmother walked slowly, and Ke'er didn't send it. ”

Jing Yi saw that Ke'er had sent them to Tan Yuan's gate, and told Ke'er to be careful on the way back. Qiu Wei carried a large basket of fruits and waited for Ke'er to walk away before quietly asking, "Miss, ...... bracelet?"

Jing Yi was silent. It seems that it is impossible to fool around......

When she went back, she opened the two brocade boxes that Mrs. Tao gave her, and inside were a pair of bracelets and a pair of hairpins. Qiu Wei was speechless and said, "How can Madame reward you so heavily for no reason?" ”

Jingyi asked her to put her things away.

Certainly not for no reason...... She had just gone to the old lady's place, and as soon as she entered the door, the old aunt and grandmother said that Yamei had taken Cerse to Nanjing. The dust settled for the time being, and she had no credit and hard work. The mother-in-law saw it clearly from beginning to end. I'm afraid that's how this reward came about.

Qiu Wei didn't look happy at all when she saw Jing Yi, but sat there for a long time without moving. Obviously, the hot water in the room was hot, and the harmful person was going to sweat when he acted, but she touched her arm, as if it was very cold...... Qiu Wei quietly went to light a fire in the fireplace again.

As soon as she cleaned up, she heard Jingyi say, "Qiu Wei, throw away those newspapers." ”

Qiu Wei agreed, and muttered in a low voice: "It's better to keep the raw stove, it's a pity to throw it away......" She just picked up the newspapers, Jingyi came out, and threw the newspapers into the fireplace one by one.

The burnt smell of burning paper in the fireplace.

She watched as the photographs in the newspaper were distorted and distorted...... Reduced to ashes.

"In the future, I don't have to bring these newspapers to me. I want to see it, so naturally I will go down and look for it. Jingyi said.

"That's not all...... Good. Qiu Wei saw that Jing Yi's face was wrong, so she hurriedly agreed.

Didn't she want the young lady to know more about the outside world? Beiping, Shanghai, Nanjing...... The prosperity there is what the young lady is familiar with. Here the door is not out of the door, and she is bored at home every day, I am really afraid that she will be bored.

Jingyi stayed for a while before getting up to leave.

……

The clocks in the whole building were striking one after another, and it was eleven o'clock.

It's cold late at night in February.

Jingyi was still leaning on the head of the bed reading a book, and when she heard footsteps outside, she sat up. At this time, Qiu Wei was already asleep and was sleeping. The footsteps were heavy, and they were Tao Xiang. His banquet tonight is set at No. 7 Tongshi Hutong. He'd been staying out a lot lately, and she didn't think he would be back tonight.

As if the footsteps had disappeared, Jingyi waited for a while, but went down and opened the door to see.

The living room was empty, and I only saw Tao Xiang's bedroom door half open.

Jingyi walked over and looked through the door, but the lights inside were not turned on, and it was pitch black. She hesitated, then raised her hand and pushed the door. Unexpectedly, the door hinge was extremely flexible, and it was too late for her to hold it, and she hit the wall with a "bang", making a loud noise.

At this moment, the light suddenly turned on, and Tao Xiang sat on the edge of the bed, beating his forehead, and said, "Give me a glass of water." ”

Vaguely, Jing Yi thought to himself that he didn't know where he was at about this time. She had the heart to ignore him, but she felt that it was inappropriate. She searched in her room for a while and found no hot water.

The room was heavy with alcohol and an indescribable heat.

She wanted to hurry out and pour water for him, but before she could turn around, she was dragged by him.

Jing Yi was almost stunned, stunned there, looking at Tao Xiang in front of him - of course he was drunk, but when he was drunk, it was even more terrible than when he was sober...... Jingyi couldn't help but tremble.

She was about to leave, Tao Xiang raised his hand and pinched her chin accurately, lowered his body, and looked into her eyes.

After a while, he asked, "Are you afraid of me?" ”
