She heard that her grandmother had assigned him to Yiyuan. From the past, Cheng Da'an was a three-housekeeper at home, and he usually couldn't manage the affairs of the inner house, so he rarely saw it. Among the three stewards, Cheng Da'an is the oldest and the most qualified, although he has never been reused, he has always been calm and conscientious. Her mother and mother still valued the old housekeeper very much, so she couldn't help but have more respect for the old housekeeper who watched her grow up.

Cheng Da'an saw her and hurriedly explained that her uncle had taken a plane to Nanjing with the second master of the Tao family in the morning, and the return date was undecided. Leave a message that he is not there, and here are some preparations before the wedding, so I will ask Miss Ten for some things.

Jingyi promised to say yes.

Cheng Da'an said that Yiyuan is ready, and my uncle is not at home, so please take the time to check it out first, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can take advantage of this time to prepare.

Jingyi nodded. Cheng Da'an has changed his mouth to call Tao Xiang his uncle, although she is very uncomfortable listening to it, she is helpless.

Cheng Da'an gave Tao Xiang what she asked her to bring to Jingyi, and Jingyi opened it to see that it was her pocket watch.

Only then did she realize that the pocket watch she had brought with her was missing.

Cheng Da'an saw that she had no other instructions, so he took someone to say goodbye.

Jingyi grabbed the pocket watch, and saw that Tu Huyi was still here. Tao Xiang went out and left his relatives behind. She couldn't say what it was like for a moment, but she looked at her pocket watch, which was tightened — it had been loose for a while, and she just didn't bother to have it repaired — and she put it on.

"Good morning, Catherine."

She turned around and it turned out to be Dr. Schneider.

She smiled and said, "Morning, Dr. Shi." ”

Tao Xiang returned to Beiping from Nanjing two days later than expected.

At the airport, he happened to meet the Kong family's chartered plane landing.

Yuan Xuan and Wujian didn't have time to say goodbye to him in Beiping, but they met here, and they had an intimate conversation with each other.

It was learned from Yuan Xuan that Biquan and his wife had arrived in Shanghai the day before.

Yuanxuan is similar to Biquan, and he is also the person who will take office immediately, so he apologized to him, and may not be able to go back to Beiping to congratulate him and Jingyi. Unsullied said she would rush back to congratulate them anyway.

Yuan Xuan smiled and said that Wuzhi wanted to add some momentum to Jingyi, and Jingyi would be angry in the future.

Tao Xiang smiled.

Before leaving, Wujian took out a stack of newspapers in Kun's bag and showed it to him, it was "Ta Kung Pao" three days ago. The newspaper published a large article about the marriage of Tao Cheng's two families.

He had seen the paper two days earlier, and in addition to Ta Kung Pao, two influential newspapers had published the same article. So in the past two years, he has been in Nanjing, and almost everyone has to talk about his wedding. Everyone's reactions were different, and he didn't go into the details. The next things have to be done one after another, where is the idle care?

On the return flight, he flipped through the newspapers, but he didn't read anything about the wedding.

The weather was not very good, and there were several strong air currents during the flight, and Ma Xingjian, who was used to flying big scenes, vomited, and Tao Xiang still did not move. Flying over Beiping, the plane circled for two weeks. It had just snowed heavily, and the captain repeatedly contacted the ground to confirm that it was safe before choosing to land.

When the plane landed at Peking Airport, they were greeted by a driver from Yiyuan, driving a brand-new Rolls-Royce sedan.

Tu Huyi also came. After not seeing them for many days, Tu Huyi seemed very excited and said, "Qishao, I can see you, I don't want to die these days." ”

Tao Xiang glared at him.

As usual, he should be scolded, so indecent, it's really not like his personal follow.

Could it be that she has been indulged in by words?

"Qishao, do you want to go back to Yiyuan?" Tu Huyi asked when he got in the car.

"Nonsense." Ma Xingjian saw that Tao Xiang was not happy, and hurriedly glanced at Tiger Wing.

Tu Huyi quieted down.

As soon as the roots of the ears were clean, Tao Xiang closed his eyes and recuperated.

For nearly a week, he was busy in Nanjing, and he never had a good rest.

The smell of leather from the new car fills the nostrils.

The car must be newly equipped, and like Yiyuan, it is the dowry brought by his fiancée Cheng Jingyi from the Cheng family.

Cheng Shiyun and his wife are indeed not thin in treating this concubine daughter......

At this time, the sky was still overcast, and it had just snowed heavily, and the alley in front of Yiyuan Gate only cleared a narrow passage, only enough for cars to pass through.

Tao Xiang got out of the car, and Tu Huyi followed behind him, reporting to him what had happened in the past few days - Tao Xiang didn't seem to be listening, and his eyes didn't stop in any position for more than a second from the moment he entered the door. Although compared to before he left, the layout of Yiyuan was very different, and it was completely like a happy event.

The housekeeper Cheng Da'an was not at home, and I heard that he went to Cheng's house.

Tao Xiang did not enter the main courtyard. The upper house of the main courtyard has been renovated into a new house. The servant saw him glance over there, and hurriedly replied that Steward Cheng had ordered, and the red silk sealed the door, and no one was allowed to collide with Xishen. He remembered that before leaving, Cheng Da'an had indeed told him that he couldn't go in to see it before he got married.

Rejoice...... What kind of god is this?

Cheng Da'an always seems to be able to find a variety of suitable gods to offer for inquiries.

He didn't have any thoughts of going to see it. Just walking in the snow-covered Yi Garden, he suddenly wanted to go shopping.

followed him around the garden, Tu Huyi didn't delay his work, and while Tao Xiang was free at this time, he would go back the same. Most of them are related to Cheng Jingyi. By the time Tao Xiang stepped into the back garden from the Sanjin Courtyard, he had already finished reporting everything he wanted to report.

Tu Huyi felt that his lips and tongue were numb from the cold when he spoke, but Tao Xiang didn't say a word, and he didn't know if he was listening. He didn't dare to ask directly, so he had to look at Ma Xingjian.

Ma Xingjian shook his head.

Tu Huyi asked in a low voice, "Do you want to talk to Qi Shao...... Go back and take a break? ”

Ma Xingjian said: "Don't. "The Seventh Young Master didn't seem to be in a hurry to rest.

"Did something happen while in Nanjing? Is the handsome alright? What about the second master, why didn't you come back together? "Tu Huyi has a stomach problem. Afraid that Tao Xiang would hear him scolding him more, he deliberately suppressed his pace with Ma Xingjian and walked slowly, and gradually moved away from Tao Xiang.

"Things went well. I've seen everything I should see. The marshal only stayed for one day, and after meeting with Chief Suo, he held a meeting of the Supreme Military Council, and as soon as the list was confirmed, he returned to Lanzhou without waiting for it to be announced. The second master went back with the handsome. The rest of the things are all mediated by the seven young people. Ma Xingjian said, his face was very grim. Tu Huyi frowned.

"The one from the Cheng family went up?" Tu Huyi asked.

Ma Xingjian exhaled and said, "Third young master, naturally." ”

The two were silent for a moment.

The cold wind blew, and the snow accumulated on the bamboo leaves blew down and fell on the stone path.

They followed Tao Xiang and walked into this small courtyard unconsciously.

Tu Huyi suddenly pulled Ma Xingjian and pointed to the ground.

Ma Xingjian saw the footprints on the ground, looked at Tao Xiang who had walked away, smiled, touched his body, and asked, "Is there any smoke?" ”

"Nope." Tu Huyi made a bitter face and said, "I was read by Miss Ten every day in the hospital, and I was about to quit." ”

Ma Xingjian smiled and asked, "Can Miss Ten make Seven Shao quit smoking?" ”

Tu Huyi tilted his head, looked at the clear sky after the snow, and said, "It's hard to tell." You say, can you quit smoking? When I came back yesterday, I looked at the two boxes of Qishao customized cigarettes that I had just delivered, and I even felt less comfortable stealing two tubes. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't even have the heart to find a girl. ”

Ma Xingjian hooked his neck and threw it to the side, Tu Huyi laughed and counterattacked, the two of them twisted crookedly, and the snow on the bamboo leaves fell one after another......

Tao Xiang was walking on the narrow stone road between the bamboo forests, and stopped when he heard the laughter of the two Ma Tu behind him. Further on, the path extends to the water in the courtyard, making two bends. At this time, the water is covered with a thick layer of ice. Originally, there was a pond of lotus flowers, only the dead leaves that were frozen were left, and the dead leaves on the ice were blown by the cold wind, swaying, and it looked even more bleak. He went ashore, and the house opposite him was beautiful and ornate, and a plaque was inscribed with two words: Shadow Lotus. The lotus character is a variant, in the shape of a blooming lotus flower, as if a gust of wind blows, the lotus flower will sway...... Tao Xiang admired the plaques and couplets for a while. When he lived in Yiyuan, he only moved around in the front few places, and almost never set foot in the backyard. I don't know that the subtlety of Yiyuan is not limited to one or two places.

No wonder it is said that Cheng Shiyun Nursery has something unique.

I just don't know what this small courtyard is for? In his opinion, it would be a blessing to be able to read in front of the reading window in the hot summer......

He watched for a while, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a noise in the room.

Habitually, as soon as he took a stride to the side of the pillar, his hand immediately touched the gun at his waist.

Squeak, the window opened, it was a white and slender hand, a piece of blue sleeves, rolled the edge of the lynx skin, opened the window, and the little hands patted it, as if to pat off the dust on the hands.

On the thin white wrist, the bracelet sways with the shaking of the wrist, which is very beautiful...... Tao Xiang's hand hung down.

"Who?" Jing Yi leaned over and asked, squinting her eyes.

Tao Xiang walked out, and Jing Yi was stunned when she saw a familiar gray figure flashing out from behind the red lacquer columns.

"Me." Tao Xiang replied.
