Chapter 13: Clouds That Gather and Disperse (10)

Tao Yinrun smiled when he heard this: "Eldest sister, the seventh daughter-in-law is not bad. ”

Tao Inze snorted and didn't speak again.

However, Su Xiufen said after a while: "Auntie remembered the seventh mother-in-law, right?" is also a soft-hearted man. She said in a light tone.

Zheng Jingxian, the third aunt who was sitting on her right hand, listened and said, "That's a really rare ......."

"Don't mention that...... Shuffle. Tao Yinqing hurriedly reminded Su Xiufen, "Don't you know what is going on at night, you guys are in a hurry now...... Play cards, play cards! ”

The cards on the table are rattling and chaotic, which is somewhat annoying... Da...

It was nearly noon when Jingyi returned to Langyuan, and when she entered the door, she saw Zhang's mother standing under the porch waiting.

Zhang's mother came back and heard Yue'er say that Mother Song of Luo Ruitang brought someone to search Caozhu's house and called the young grandmother away, and she was in a hurry, seeing that Jingyi's master and servant came back, the three of them did not look very good, especially Caozhu was almost prostrate. Jingyi didn't say anything, she didn't dare to ask, she just waited carefully.

Jingyi asked Zhang's mother to prepare lunch. She sat down, looked at the food on the table, asked Zhang's mother to keep a plate of goose fat lettuce, and removed the rest, and said, "Zhang's mother, you can take Caozhu and a few of them to eat, let me be quiet." ”

Zhang's mother didn't know why, so she removed the table and took a few girls down for lunch at her command.

Jing Yi really ate lunch cleanly, rested for a while, and felt that her strength had recovered better.

She walked out, heard sobs, sighed, and called out grass beads.

Grinding on the ground, the grass beads came out from the edge of the pillars, looking pitiful.

Jingyi looked at her for a long time before saying, "Go and pour me a cup of tea first." ”

When she had finished her order, she sat down under the porch and clapped her hands.

After a while, the white lion, who didn't know where he was hiding, appeared in front of her lazily. She clapped her hands again, let the white lion come over, and stroked its big head. The white lion that is in the hair shedding period still doesn't look thin. Jingyi had a few dog hairs on her hands, twisted them and showed them to the white lion. The white lion's pair of shiny little eyes became fighting eyes...... At this moment, Caozhu came over, Jingyi took the tea, didn't look at her, and asked, "Still don't want to say?" ”

The grass beads were silent.

The hands were hanging down, the fingers were twisted together, and the face was flushed purple.

Jingyi teased the white lion and said, "Our courtyard, although the door is tight, it is also from the outside. If someone should be inside and outside, no matter how tight the door is. ”

No one walked around in the yard, the cicadas did not give birth, and in the early summer afternoon, the sun was just right, and the whole courtyard was so bright that there was no haze at all, it was surprisingly quiet. The white lion's thick fur made it feel hot, and it stretched out its big tongue to pant almost all the time, and it looked even more fierce.

Jingyi motioned to the white lion, and the white lion got up and walked over to the grass bead and squatted down, sniffing her trouser legs.

Cao Zhu has always been a little afraid of this behemoth, seeing it coming, squatting down and the top of her head is on her chest and abdomen, the blood basin mouth is wide open, the tongue hangs down, she can't help but want to dodge. Jingyi didn't speak, and she didn't dare to move.

"If I don't work, I'll let the white lion go out for a walk? The dog's nose is very smart, and it is not difficult to take out a person. Jingyi took out the red silk bag from her sleeve and shook it.

Caozhu lowered her head and said, "Young grandmother......"

"Do you know what's wrong with you?" Jingyi held the silk bag and asked.

The grass beads were silent.

"The fault is in private teaching." Jingyi said, waving his hand at the white lion. "I enlightened you that day, I wanted you to understand, so that you had crossed the clear road early, but how did you know that you still did not follow the right path? Wrong again and again, and still not telling the truth at this point? ”

"Young grandmother......" As soon as the grass beads knelt, tears rolled down. Young grandma, it's not that I don't want to...... Be...... There's no way to ...... right now."

"What is it?" Jingyi asked.

"That's it...... The young grandmother bumped into us that day, and his mother left two days later, and only came back a few days ago on an errand. Can't ...... right now I can't open my mouth with my master...... There is no such rule. How can anyone marry him? Caozhu replied.

As soon as Jingyi heard this, she asked, "Is it Brother Dong?" ”

She immediately thought of Brother Dong. He is the powerful little leader under the chief manager Ha Deguang, and he is responsible for the placement of flowers from all over the house after they are purchased. I've been in this yard once or twice recently for this errand. The young man is clever and knows how to advance and retreat, she still has a good impression, and she doesn't want him to be so "grafting".

Caozhu did not deny it.

Jingyi didn't speak for a long time, saw that Caozhu was still kneeling, and frowned: "Get up." ”

"I don't get up. Young grandma, I thought about having a baby...... But I can't make up my mind...... Young grandma, why don't you just ask someone to give me a piece of medicine......" Caozhu sobbed and wiped her tears, "Anyway, young grandma, don't let me go." I'm still here to serve my young grandmother. Out of here, I have nowhere to go. He can't take me in at home...... I'm dead. ”

"What do you say dead or alive? If I keep you any longer, you will have to give up this child. Are you willing to do it? "Jingyi knows very well that today's events will be announced to Mrs. Tao sooner or later. Sure enough, before she could think about it, she saw Ke'er coming in from outside, and she was blessed when she saw her from afar. Jingyi looked at Caozhu and said, "Go, tell Zhang's mother, let her call the headquarters to the seventh young master, and ask him if he will come back for dinner in the evening?" ”

Caozhu was stunned and stood up with tears on her face.

Jingyi returned the red silk bag to her and said, "Keep it." Go down, and you won't have to come out to do your work these two days. But without me, you are not allowed to leave your room even half a step. ”

Caozhu is gone, Jingyi saw that Ke'er also approached, and said with a smile: "Ke'er is here?" ”

When Ke'er saw the white lion, she made a frightened look and said, "Young grandma, I am terrible of the white lion." ”

"Sister Ke'er." Qiu Wei jumped out of the house and called Ke'er with a grin.

In fact, Ke'er is almost twice as old as Qiu Wei, but she is not married. She is so much older than Qiu Wei, listening to her sweetly call her sister, her eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, and she pointed to the white lion and said to Qiu Wei: "Qiu Wei quickly pull the white lion, I can talk back to the young grandmother." ”

Jingyi knew that Ke'er did it on purpose, if she hadn't been holding something in her hand, she would have come to tease the white lion a long time ago, so she still asked Qiu Wei to take the white lion aside, "Qiu Wei went to comb the white lion's hair, look at the fading hair." ”

She asked Ke'er to follow her into the house.

Ke'er put away the snack box she brought, and then said, "Madame said that Miss Eight disturbed Grandma Seven, and you must be tired Grandma Seven, so you want me to come over and bring some food." In addition, the old aunt and grandmother said that they won money by playing cards today, and they called two tables of noodles to the old lady. Mrs. said that the old aunt and grandmother have something to say, if you feel refreshed, go over together. The Seventh Young Master came back from Jiayuguan this morning, and when he got home in the evening, it would be best if he was willing to go. ”

Ke'er said as she gave Jingyi a bowl of red dates and white fungus lily soup. Although Jingyi had just had lunch, her mother-in-law sent it to her, and she took it, and she felt that it tasted good after two bites. Ke'er finished talking and looked at her with a slight smile.

"I know it all. Tell the lady that I will go to the old lady in the evening. Jingyi said with a smile. Ke'er relayed Mrs. Tao's words, although the matter of Caozhu was not mentioned at all, she always felt as if every word was related...... Ke'er was gone, and she sat there and ate all the sweet soup. When I saw Zhang's mother coming, I asked, "Looking for Qishao?" ”

It was Adjutant Ma who answered the phone. said that Qi Shao had just gone to Qiyun Mountain and was resting. There is an important itinerary in the afternoon. He had to wait for Qishao to wake up and ask. I asked and called right away. Zhang's mother said.

Jingyi thought about Ke'er and said that Tao Xiang only came back from Jiayuguan in the morning, and he went back and forth to Qiyun Mountain this time, it seems that he has not rested well in the past few days, and he is afraid that he will not go home so soon.

She came out of her mind for a moment and said, "Then I'll rest for a while." ”

Zhang's mother looked at her and promised in her mouth.

Jingyi also looked at her and said, "Although I am young, I can't hide from what I should deal with, Mother Zhang, you should remind me." That's what helped me. ”

Zhang's mother blushed and said, "Yes, young grandma." Isn't the young grandmother sick, and I thought it would be best not to disturb you. How did you think it would be so fast...... Just now Mother Song brought someone here, and only Yue'er was there. If I'm here, I can stop it, and I won't ......."

"I don't blame you. It's just that it's better to prepare early than to be caught off guard. I'm tired of it now. Wait for me to sleep. She said and walked away.

Mama Zhang turned around and hurriedly asked Qiu Wei to come over, "Come up and take a look with the young grandmother." The young grandmother is just better, so hard-working. ”

Qiu Wei looked at Jingyi and went upstairs by herself, and whispered that she couldn't go, and when Miss was tired, she liked to stay alone.

When Mother Zhang heard Qiu Wei say this, she sighed and said, "This time it's really embarrassing for the young grandmother." This is a matter ......" She remembered that Qiu Wei was still a girl, and it was not good to continue.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Wei smiled and said, "Mother Zhang, you're really funny." ”

Zhang's mother didn't understand what Qiu Wei meant, and Qiu Wei didn't explain it to her, so she ran to continue combing the white lion......

When Tao Xiang returned home, Jingyi hadn't gotten up yet.

He looked at the time, and it was almost dinner time. Since she didn't get up, he went to the shower and changed his clothes first. When he appeared in front of her in a long robe, she had just fallen asleep and was drinking the medicine that Zhang's mother brought her. Xu is medicinal soup is hot, and after a while, her face is red and rich, with a thin layer of sweat...... He threw off his robe and sat on the couch.

Jingyi wiped her sweat and saw Tao Xiang take a lighter in her hand. The silver lighter had a sign of a flying eagle on it, but the flames that bounced out were like snakes spitting letters.
