Er Yi, who was looking around, saw it, she looked at Jingyi and said, "Seventh sister-in-law, did Seventh Brother call you?" ”

Jingyi raised her head, but she didn't see Tao Xiang looking at her, and when she saw Er Yi, she smiled narrowly, and shouted helplessly: "Eighth sister! ”

Er Yi smiled eatingly, Tao Yinze reached out and pinched her cheeks, and said, "You girl, you really can't grow up." She said and looked at Jingyi, "I also learn from your seventh sister-in-law and eldest sister-in-law, that is, your second sister-in-law who is not in front of you, and she is more than two or three steps more stable than you." ”

Fu Lizhen smiled on the side.

Jing Yi felt something moving at her feet again. This time she didn't panic, and when she lowered her head, it was really Mrs. Tao's sleeve monkey. As soon as she stretched out her hand, the Sleeve Monkey immediately grabbed her fingers, and she picked it up and put it on her lap. When Mrs. Tao and Tao Inze saw it, they said in unison: "Huh! ”

Tao Inze even said: "This thing is very snobbish, and it is easy not to be touched." As he spoke, he lit the sleeve monkey. Seeing that the sleeved monkey stretched out its paws to scratch her, Tao Inze is also familiar with the temper of this little thing, of course he will not let it succeed, but scolds with a smile, "This little white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it, steals how many snacks I eat, and it is still like this." ”

Old Madam Tao smiled and said, "Don't say it, big sister, this little white-eyed wolf can't believe it, and she doesn't come forward at all." ”

The sleeve monkey squeaked, and sat down after a circle on Jing Yi's lap, his little paws resting on the edge of the table, out of reach of Jing Yi's plate.

"Here's what you're going to eat." Qilin'er came over with pine nuts. looked up at Jingyi, "Little aunt, this is for you to eat." ”

He held two toffees in his hand.

Jingyi took it and said, "Thank you, Lin'er, for thinking about the little aunt." ”

"Yo, I don't even know why he kept this." Fu Lizhen saw it and said with a smile.

As soon as Jing Yi held the candy in his hand, the sleeve monkey took one away, and quickly jumped off Jing Yi's lap, and disappeared after a while.

"What should I do, there is only one...... Qilin'er looked at Jingyi, a little depressed, "It's the little aunt and the seventh uncle who have one each." ”

Jingyi couldn't help laughing and said, "This time, Aunt Xiao and Uncle Seven will eat this candy separately, will Lin'er give Aunt Xiao another candy next time?" ”

Old Madam Tao touched her great-grandson's head and said, "This kid still knows how to think about Uncle Seven, okay." Lin'er came, and grandma rewarded Lin'er with good things to eat. Lin'er doesn't like chocolate, your eighth aunt has several boxes that haven't been eaten......"

"Grandma is doing favors with my things!" Eryi shouted.

"Didn't your eldest sister say that eating chocolate will make you fat, and you didn't move what she brought back for you?" Old Madam Tao said with a smile.

"Grandma, I don't want the chocolate of the eighth aunt......" Qilin'er said suddenly.

"Why not?" Er Yidu asked strangely.

"Bagu doesn't look good when she's fat, and Lin'er doesn't look good when she's fat." Qilin'er said very seriously.

Jing Yi laughed first, and couldn't help but kiss Qilin'er and said, "Lin'er is so good-looking." ”

"My aunt said the same thing...... The sugar was given by my aunt. I said I wanted to give it to my little aunt, and she said that little aunts were not rare...... Mother, what am I talking about? Qilin'er smiled at Fu Lizhen.

"You're right. I haven't seen who our Qilin is so close to, I took him back to his parents' house a few days ago, and I mentioned the seventh sister from time to time. Qilin, go and be your little aunt's son, okay? Fu Lizhen smiled.

For a while, everyone laughed, and the cute unicorn was spinning in circles in this arms and in that arms.

Dinner was enjoyable, and Jingyi settled down in such an atmosphere. When dinner was dispersed and everyone who was going to leave left, Jingyi and Tao Xiang were left behind by the old lady. Mrs. Tao sent the old aunt and grandmother, and they turned back when they came out of the gate of Xuanrui Hall, and saw Tao Xiang and Jingyi sitting with the old lady, and the inner hall was quiet and warm, and it was obvious that she hadn't said anything yet, so she smiled and came over and sat down.

"I'm a little tired of eating at night." Mrs. Tao said with a smile.

Jin Xuan just made tea, Jingyi took it, and poured tea for her mother-in-law.

Tao Xiang sat farther away, she looked back, and Mrs. Tao said, "The seventh doesn't drink this." Jin Xuan, another bowl of Ning Bi for the Seventh Young Master. ”

"That's it." Tao Xiang came over and took the cup from Jingyi's hand. Jin Xuan went out with a smile.

Tao Xiang took the teacup, but did not sit back, paced in the room for a while, and went out.

"Grandma, Mother." Jingyi put down the teapot, looked at the two, and said softly, "I have a difficult matter, and I ask my grandmother and mother to listen to me." ”

Mrs. Tao took a sip of tea and looked at her mother-in-law.

The old lady was looking down and stroking the coquettish sleeve monkey, and said without raising her head: "What's the matter?" Go ahead. ”

Jing Yi recounted what happened during the day. Unlike the one she repeated with Tao Xiang, she omitted most of the links in Luo Ruitang, so the process seemed much simpler.

“…… The fault of the matter was me first, first I neglected to overlook, and I knew it and did not deal with it in time. My grandmother and mother want to punish me, and I will not defend myself. The servants in my house have broken the rules of the house, and I will be punished first. I just have a few words to say, if it's not right, it's because I'm young and don't know anything, so don't be angry with my grandmother and mother. I always think that the family rules can be strict, and the family rules must be strict. But such a thing, where can a strict word be stopped? are all in the youth, moving dry firewood near the fire, there is no reason not to burn. Grandma, mother, I look at it like this, there are many old messengers and maids in the family. Even if there are rules, it is inevitable that there will be a negligence, and this kind of thing may not come out again. It is better to explain the rules from now on, if anyone has a crush on whom, make the master clear as soon as possible, and set up another boundary outside, which is specially used for them to become relatives. Come in and serve, or the man is outside, and the woman is inside, each in his own way. Is this possible? I think so, and I ask my grandmother and mother to think about it. This is in the future, as for the grass beads for now......" Jingyi said, looking at the faces of Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Tao, they didn't mean to be angry, so they boldly said: "I have also quietly interrogated it today, she is willing to have a baby, and she still stays in my house to serve." But I don't bear it in my heart, I always think that it is a life no matter what, and it is quite big at this time, in case one is not good, one corpse and two lives. I also remember that my grandmother said not long ago, 'A centuries-old home is nothing but a collection of virtues'. It's better to fulfill her, and when the child is born, Brother Dong's filial piety period expires, so that they can become relatives and live a good life. If they have a conscience, they will naturally still remember the benefits they have gained in the Tao family over the years......"

Mrs. Tao finally finished drinking a cup of tea and looked at the old lady.

Old Madam Tao smiled and said, "You will reason with me with my words." ”

When Jingyi saw Old Madam Tao say this, her face couldn't help but heat up, and she said softly: "Grandma, don't I remember your teachings, and I dare not forget them for a day." ”

Mrs. Tao couldn't help but smile, looked at her daughter-in-law, and said, "Listen, it's obvious that you're using my words to gag me, and you're talking so pitiful...... How do you think I should reply to her? ”

Mrs. Tao smiled, and when she saw that this was what her mother-in-law meant by asking her to express her opinion, she said, "Whoever let the old lady always be lenient, Jingyi will naturally do the same." ”

Jingyi heard Mrs. Tao's attitude again, and hurriedly said: "Mother, I will keep an eye on my subordinates in the future, and I will never make such a mistake again...... Whatever my mother wants to punish me, I will be ......."

Mrs. Tao's eyes lit up when she saw her, and said, "Punishment is also punishment, let me think about it." Let it be as you will. It's just the same, these two, and they can't be left in the house. ”

"Yes. Thank you mother, thank you grandma. Jingyi always stood and said, and at this moment he seriously saluted the two of them.

Mrs. Tao deliberately frowned and said, "Although this has not happened for many years. But it's not a big deal, what else should I do? There's something ahead of me, but I'm here to listen to you for a long time. ”

"It's time for Sheng Chuan to come back, you go and prepare. I don't think he's in a good mood lately. Old Madam Tao frowned slightly at the mention of her son.

Mrs. Tao got up and quit her mother-in-law.

Jingyi saw that Mrs. Tao was also a little tired, so she walked with Mrs. Tao. When she came out and saw Tao Xiang outside, Mrs. Tao said, "If you go out to patrol the camp at night, you will add a piece of clothing, and it will be cool in the morning and evening." ”

Tao Xiang said: "Mother, I know this. ”

"It's the same temper as your father." Mrs. Tao said, looking at Jingyi standing beside Tao Xiang. Tao Xiang went in to say goodbye to his grandmother, and Mrs. Tao was carried into the car by Jingyi.

Before leaving, Mrs. Tao said to Jingyi, "Go back and rest early." Just fine, don't get tired. Lao Qi is busy, just let him be busy, and you take care of yourself first. ”

Jingyi agreed, and when Ke'er held the sedan chair, Mrs. Tao left.

She waited for Tao Xiang to come out and go back together, and when she got outside the gate, she remembered that Tao Xiang asked Ma Xingjian to tie up Brother Dong earlier...... When you enter the door, you can't see it, Brother Dong is not tied up by five flowers, but kneeling in the courtyard. And sure enough, he was whipped. I don't know how many hands Ma Xingjian has under him, and Brother Dong's body is bloodstained one by one. Ma Xingjian was on the side, dragging the white lion.

Jingyi watched Tao Xiang walk up to Brother Dong unhurriedly, and kicked Brother Dong in the chest.

Jing Yi was startled by the protruding kick. The white lion also barked violently because of Tao Xiang's kick, and roared at Dong Ge with a bloody mouth, which was deafening.

Tao Xiang said: "If you don't care about the head, you are also a man." He pointed to the white lion. The white lion roared twice more before he stopped whining.

Brother Dong got up and kowtowed to Tao Xiang and said, "Young Master Xie Qi spares his life." ”

"Get out." Tao Xiang scolded.

Brother Dong turned around and kowtowed in the direction of Jing Yi again, but he didn't roll immediately.

Jingyi said: "The Seventh Master asked you to go, but you still don't want to go?" ”

"Thank you, Grandma Seven." Brother Dong limped away.

Jing Yi couldn't bear not to pat her chest to shock herself, but she still stood there and looked at Tao Xiang, and didn't move the place.

Tao Xiang saw that after a while, all the people in the courtyard were gone. Only Jing Yi was left staring at him stunned, and he frowned.

"Young grandma, Miss Eight is looking for you by phone." Yue'er came out of the house and said to Jingyi.

Jingyi looked at Tao Xiang and went into the house.

Just now in Xuanrui Hall, everyone dispersed, and Eryi was gone. She didn't even see her when she left. She went upstairs to answer the phone. It turned out that Eryi invited her and Tao Xiang to accompany her to the graduation ceremony, saying that she had just gone to her parents, and her father and mother said that they wanted her to ask her seventh brother and seventh sister-in-law...... Jingyi watched Tao Xiang also come up, pinched the half-lit cigarette between her fingers, and when she got closer, she felt choked and coughed lightly.

"When?" She asked softly.

Tao Xiang walked closer, and she looked up at him. She coughed lightly, and he snuffed out the cigarette and threw it in the glass bowl.

Eryi said that it was the end of this month, and there was still half a month. What Er Yi said was that if she was in good health, she would take half a day to go. If my father goes, he will alarm too many people; I had to beg the seventh brother and the seventh sister-in-law...... "Seventh sister-in-law, you ask the seventh brother, can you come?" "Eryi's voice is crisp.

Jingyi looked at Tao Xiang who was standing in front of her, thinking that he should be able to hear what Er Yi was asking, but he still pulled the microphone and asked, "Er Yi's graduation ceremony, I want to invite the two of us to participate on behalf of our families." The same is true of the meaning of the father and the mother. You ......"

She took a breath as Tao Xiang not only stood close to her, but also wrapped his hand behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

She leaned against him, the microphone between the two of them.

Er Yi was still chattering on the phone, Tao Xiao lowered his head and kissed Jing Yi's lips...... Jing Yi was still holding the microphone in her hand, and she was caught off guard by Tao Xiang's kiss. He drank a little bit of wine, and there was a faint smell of wine on his lips. The tip of her tongue forcefully opened her lips and teeth, teasing her tongue...... Jingyi listened to Eryi and kept calling Seventh Sister-in-law, Seventh Sister-in-law, you speak...... Where could she speak, in the midst of such an unhurried but unrelenting encroachment? She just thought that even if she could bite Tao Xiang, she could get rid of him temporarily, and she could promise Eryi.

Tao Xiang sensed her intentions, sucked her soft lips, pulled the microphone from her hand, and said into the microphone: "We'll go then." He said, turning the microphone aside.

Despite the silence around her, Jingyi still felt uneasy, as if someone would come up at any moment. She looked at him nervously, and the golden chain on the moon-white shirt shone brightly...... She leaned against him, and as he bowed her head to kiss her, she lifted her chin slightly, imprinted on his lips.
