Chapter 11: The Sand of Reality (4)

"Otherwise, how would they go? "She said. Tao Xiang squinted slightly. His eyelashes were long, and when his eyes narrowed, a small shadow fell and covered his eyes.

The smell of alcohol on his body seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and as he breathed, it was deep and shallow in front of her. He was so drunk that he almost got her drunk...... Except for Brother Jiu, she has never seen the deep smell of alcohol on others, and she is always a little disgusted with the taste. She held her breath and wanted to get up, but he dragged her and couldn't move.

The crystal chandelier above his head fell warmly, and the shadows of the two people were stacked together.

"What if you don't leave?" He opened his eyes and asked.

"No, it won't." She replied to the concubine.

Tao Xiang looked into her eyes. She replied with confidence.

The pearl tassels on the phoenix crown had been removed, and he could see her eyes without hindrance. The light seemed to have a golden edge around her. It's shiny and a little glaring.

"It's not always accurate." He narrowed his eyes again and let go of his hand.

Hardly a day off, lying like this on a soft cushion, he hardly wanted to move.

Jing Yi saw that he was a little lazy, so she stood up first—looking at him from a little farther away, it seemed to be higher when he was horizontal than when he was standing...... She didn't say anything, to see what he wanted.

Fiddling with his skirt, the golden bell rang, which seemed to alarm him, and he glanced at her.

She looked at him too—even if it was through the carpet and the mats, it was still cold after lying down for a long time......

"Old Seven, there are still a few guests waiting for you to greet in front!" Tao Si's voice came up from downstairs, with a smile.

Jing Yi hurriedly brushed her hair and looked back, but no one came up.

Tao Xiang said: "Got it! ”

He got up, straightened his clothes, and turned to go downstairs.

Jingyi waited for him to leave, but she was stunned and didn't move for a long time. The empty room, every step he took downstairs, there was an echo, and it spread far and wide......

The sound downstairs gradually disappeared, and Qiu Wei came up and looked at Jingyi with a smile.

Jingyi sat down on the sofa, and after a while, she felt tired and didn't want to move. I wanted to tell Qiu Wei to clean up the house, but I didn't bother to speak.

Qiu Wei came over and rubbed her calves, and laughed in a low voice: "The second young grandmother was still downstairs just now, Miss, you are so witty." ”

Jing Yi looked at the messy coffee table with red dates, peanuts, longan and chestnuts in the fruit box messily spread...... Witty? In fact, it is very risky, if they don't leave, will she have the courage to demonstrate in public?

Originally, there was no problem. If the props weren't pottery, this wouldn't be a cave house.

With a slight headache, she raised her hand and rubbed her temples. Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the window, coming from the balcony. She and Qiu Wei glanced at each other. Qiu Wei shook her head, got up and went to open the window of the balcony, and three flower-like delicate girl faces immediately appeared—it was Sister Eryi and Wen Pei. Qiu Wei looked at them in surprise.

"Seventh sister-in-law, can we come in?" Renpei asked. Her already frozen little face was flushed.

Jing Yi hurriedly asked Qiu Wei to open the balcony door for them, and said, "Come in and warm up." As she spoke, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. I looked at the doors and windows of the balcony - the colored frosted glass, and I didn't know what I could see from the outside...... She blushed, and the three girls were already rushing in, rubbing their hands and stomping their feet, shouting that it was really cold outside. Ren Pei was the youngest, so he simply ran to Jingyi's side, took off his cotton gloves, put his hand on the top of the big stove and roasted it, looked at Jingyi and said, "It's still warm in the seventh sister-in-law's house...... It's all my eighth cousin's idea, and I'm about to become a wooden man when I'm frozen. Seventh sister-in-law looked at my hand ......"

Jingyi rubbed Ren Pei Freeze's cold hands.

Ren Pei was chubby and cute, and was comforted by Jingyi so gently, she couldn't help but say: "Eighth cousin said that we can hide there, who knows that she can't bear it, and she can't see them bullying Seventh Brother and you, and it will be exposed." ”

Jingyi looked at Eryi, who was stamping his feet.

She had already changed out of the dress she wore during the day, a jujube red velveteen three-inlaid cotton robe, which was very pretty. Hearing Ren Pei expose her, she pouted and came over and said, "Then I don't know who it is, I have to be a little tail to join in the fun." ”

Jingyi smiled and listened to their bickering.

Qiu Wei poured hot tea for them and cleaned up the house. One person can't be busy, and he needs to help in the end. Zhang's mother came up and reported to Jing Yi that it was a mess downstairs, and she was picking up people...... Jingyi nodded.

These trivial and trivial things, from this night on, will be staged non-stop, right?

Qiu Wei also gave her a cup of hot tea, which she held in her hand, only to feel that the water vapor was rising and spreading densely...... Her chest was a little stuffy, and she couldn't breathe well.

The three cousins sat around Jingyi, talking and laughing, shaking each other about the troubles they had just overheard on the balcony. I was happy to say it, and I danced with my hands. Wen Pei accidentally touched Jing Yi's arm, the hot tea on Jing Yi's hand spilled a little, it was not hot, Wen Pei hurriedly drew a handkerchief and wiped her hands and dress, Er Yi laughed at Wen Pei's hairy hands and feet, Wen Pei sneered at each other without showing weakness......

Jingyi looked at their lively and happy appearance, and couldn't help but think of flawlessness and immaculateness.

They used to be like that. On the night of the eldest cousin's wedding, the three of them went to listen to the wall...... It's just that it was the height of summer, and because of the extreme Austrian heat, the doors and windows of the new house were open, and only the gauze curtains fell. The curtains are so dense that you can't see anything inside the house from the outside. Carefully, I still made a little movement, and I was discovered by the big cousin with the tip of my ear. The three of them were kicked out of the courtyard by their eldest cousin, and the laughing adults were all alarmed, and they were inevitably laughed at again. On the day of the great joy, none of the adults were seriously angry with them......

Er Yi didn't see Jing Yi talking, seeing that she just looked at them with a smile, so she asked, "Seventh sister-in-law, will you teach us that first aid technique in the future?" When it may be useful in the future. ”

Jingyi was tricked by Er Yi, and she didn't know much about this naughty sister-in-law's temperament, but when she said this, she looked very serious, and there was no reason to refuse, and it also matched her thoughts, so she said, "Okay." ”

Eryi looked at her.

Jingyi always felt as if she had something to say, and her dark eyes at this moment were really similar to Tao Xiang...... She shifted her position, still leaning back on the couch cushions. Qiu Wei and Zhang's mother had already cleaned up the living room. Ask her if she has any more instructions. She paid attention to it, and a delicate maid came in and called the young grandmother first. She thought that she should be called so, it should be someone from her own courtyard, but she had never seen it before. The maid waited for her to speak, and then she told her that the downstairs had been cleaned up, and that there were some other things that had been classified, and that she was articulate and quick-witted.

Jingyi looked at it, thinking that the girls and mothers-in-law she had seen in the past few days had been trained very well, which showed that the old woman and her mother-in-law had a good way of governing the family......

Mama Zhang saw her paying attention and said, "Young grandma, this is a grass bead." Originally, there were two of them, but the other happened to be sick and couldn't come in. There was only one of her left. The first two days were spent working below. In addition, the young grandmother didn't tell her, so it was inconvenient for her to come up. ”

Jingyi felt familiar after she mentioned it. When she first arrived that night, she had met all the people in Langyuan. It's just that I was embarrassed at the time, and I was too busy to take care of myself, where can I still remember these faces one by one. She smiled and looked at the girl named Caozhu. Ruddy cheeks, dark skin, a kind of simple and healthy beauty.

She said, "It's hard work, let's go down and rest early."

Zhang's mother paused before saying, "The seventh master hasn't come back yet." The old lady and her mother Chen have already gone to invite. There were too many guests in front, and the old lady was worried that the seventh master would drag on for too long, so she said that she would let the second master help support it. ”

Jingyi listened to her, glanced at Eryi and them, and Zhang's mother understood, so she stopped talking.

"Let's go down." She said. looked at Qiu Wei and motioned for her to follow Mama Zhang.

Seeing this, Er Yi hurriedly pulled the Wen Pei sisters up and drove them downstairs first.

She walked slowly, and Jingyi sent them to the door, where the Wen Pei sisters had already gone downstairs and disappeared. Er Yi stopped, closed the door, and turned to look at Jingyi.

Jingyi heard laughter downstairs, it was Ren Pei's heartless laughter. Separated by this door, the laughter is getting farther and farther away...... She only looked at Eryi in front of her.

"Seventh sister-in-law, are you willing to follow my seventh brother because he saved you?" Eryi asked.

Jingyi was stunned.

Er Yi looked at her eyes, dark and dreary, gradually like two pools of deep water.

Er Yi saw that Jingyi was silent and said, "I heard what you said to the third sister-in-law of the Cheng family. I didn't know that Brother Seven saved you twice......"

Jingyi slowed down before saying, "Forget about it after hearing it." ”

Er Yi nodded and said, "I should have forgotten." Seventh sister-in-law, it was my fault to play tricks on you that day. As for me, I have had a good relationship with Seventh Brother since I was a child. I knew you didn't like my seventh brother...... If you treat my seventh brother badly in the future, I won't treat you well. ”

"I get that." Jingyi said.

Eryi sighed and said, "Whatever you want." She looked at Jingyi for a while, and then sighed, "Don't let Seventh Brother know those words." Brother Qi's temper is not good, you don't pay attention, don't annoy him. ”

"He won't know." Jingyi said.

Er Yi smiled, opened the door, and said, "Seventh brother?" What is there he doesn't know? If you are a vixen, he is Pu Songling. ”

Jing Yi somehow found Eryi's metaphor interesting. Although it was not appropriate to laugh at this time, it might anger this sister-in-law who had the same bad temper as Tao Xiang and had a deep prejudice against her, she still laughed.

Er Yi looked at her, didn't say anything more, turned around and went out, and almost bumped into the person who came.

"Seventh brother!" Her voice was a little loud, and Jingyi, who had already turned around and entered the house, heard it.

Jingyi's heart jumped suddenly, she heard Tao Xiang's "um", followed the footsteps and walked in in a deep voice, she looked up and saw that Tao Xiang was followed by Chen's mother and Zhang's mother.

He just glanced at her.

Chen's mother said, "Seventh young grandmother, please." ”

Jingyi lowered her head and entered the bedroom.

Tao Xiang sat on the marriage bed with her one after another.

Jing Yi's gaze fell a little low, only to see the gold watch chain hanging on Tao Xiang's black horse coat, swaying slowly, and then stopped, but the marriage bed was like a frivolous boat on the water slowly rotating in one direction with the soft wind...... She pressed the tip of her tongue against her teeth and bit down gently, the fine pain waking her up a little. It's just a little bit, and then I feel that the marriage bed starts to spin, making people dizzy.

Chen's mother and Zhang's mother stood beside the bed with red lacquer trays.

Tao Xiang reached out and took something and sprinkled some on her.

She smelled the aroma of cereals, choked slightly, and couldn't help but sneeze. The handkerchief was handed over, and she wiped the tip of her nose and took the small wine glass in his hand—the colorful silk tied the pastel wine glass in their hands firmly. She was reminded not to drink it all...... The wine was sweet and rich, and she was a little confused, but she still drank it all in one gulp. Seeing that Chen's mother and Zhang's mother couldn't help laughing, Tao Xiang changed his cup to her. I had to drink this little half cup again, and my face burned in an instant.

She handed the glass back, and Chen's mother put the wine glass under the marriage bed, leaning back and forth. Zhang's mother had already put down the bed net, and gently closed the two bed nets, and when she closed the last bit of gap, Jingyi heard them chanting words...... As the flaming red tent was fully closed, the chanting prayer faded away.

Her gaze gradually moved upward, and the man who was also sitting cross-legged in front of her did not move. Her face burned so badly that she couldn't help but raise her hand and press her cheek. The back of the hand is cold...... Touching his forehead, it was also very hot. She closed her eyes. Look at him again, he still doesn't move. So she reached out and softly touched the gold chain on his chest. Next to the gold chain is the buckle, and the fingers move up one by one as if climbing the steps, and finally find the top one.

His collar was neatly structured, and the black brocade waistcoat was reflected in a thin layer of red light from the impermeable bed tent around her, perhaps her eyes, or perhaps her face...... She didn't feel scared, or panicked, or anything else. The liquor she drank had probably turned to a tranquilizer, her breathing slowed, and her hands had never been so strong—the shackles on his coat were almost untied as if she had torn them off one by one, each with the sharpness of a sword piercing the air...... It was unusually slow and difficult, and finally her fingertips ached. The pain travels from the fingertips to the heart...... Her hand stopped.

She looked up at Tao Xiang.

The foggy eyes are so damp.

Her hand sank involuntarily, and Tao Xiang reached out to hold it.
