"Hmm." Tao Xiang nodded.

Jingyi leaned in front of him, almost all the weight of his body was on him, and at this time, he noticed that he was strange, and even hooked his arms around his neck, looking at him intently...... Tao Xiang patted her on the back and didn't say a word.

Jing Yi simply threw off her shoes and stepped on his instep barefoot.

She liked it lately, and let him move slowly, leading her from side to side...... He also enjoys it. It's just that tonight, it can be seen that he is not in a very good mood.

Jingyi kissed him, waved the needle away, removed it from his feet, and said, "I'll put water for you and take a hot bath...... Wake up late tomorrow morning, go horseback riding or swimming, and come back refreshed. 橼"

Tao Xiang refused to go immediately, nor did he let her go, but sat on the sofa and pulled her to sit beside him.

Jingyi understood that he was not in a good mood, and it was rare that he was willing to let her know that he was in a bad mood, but he didn't say it, of course she didn't know where to start to get rid of him.

Seeing that she was embarrassed, Tao Xiang smiled and said, "It's not a big deal." Pickup"

"Huh?" Jing Yi simply got up and sat on his lap. The dress was draped, she was verbose, and a pair of round and white calves kicked and kicked, revealing pink feet, stepping on his side. "It's not a big deal, the brow is still furrowed like this...... Fool whom? As she spoke, she rubbed Tao Xiang's eyebrows with both hands.

"The celebration party, since it is already late, it is simply two days late. Zhong Cheng had just returned from Dihua, so he let him rest for a while; Fei Yuming will also arrive in the near future, and it will not be too late to do it. Tao Xiang rubbed Jing Yi's little hand on his face and said.

Jing Yi pressed his eyebrows, only to hear what he said, frowned, and said, "Qinggong will wait for him, and he is not the protagonist." ”

Tao Xiang is not happy for a while, most of it is related to Fei Yuming, who is about to take office. This man had not yet arrived in Lanzhou, and had already been vigorously proclaiming his political views in Nanjing, and it was evident that his arrival would inevitably follow his so-called innovations. Even if she is a woman who is closed, she also knows the intricate connection between the political and business worlds here, and how can a foreign monk come to this place to recite this sutra with such a high profile?

"He supervised and supervised the counter-rebellion. Wait for him, too. Tao Xiang said lightly.

Jing Yi tilted her head to look at him for a moment and laughed.

"Laughing at what?" Tao Xiang lowered his head, and his forehead touched Jingyi's.

"It's terrible when you do this." Jingyi shook her head, and the two rubbed their foreheads, feverish.

"Are you afraid of me, then?" Tao Xiang asked.

Jingyi closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fell, and she didn't make a sound.

"Huh?" Tao Xiang asked.

"Sometimes, I'm still a little scared." Jingyi was asked, but she had to say.

She couldn't always grasp his deep thoughts. She gets uneasy when she's not sure.

"Angry?" He didn't speak, and she asked, "I mean ......"

"It's okay to be afraid." Tao Xiang picked her up and walked to the bedroom, "Otherwise, wouldn't you be lawless?" ”

Sure enough, the celebration was postponed by Tao Xiang on the second day. When he saw Jing Yi, he said that this surname Fei is a face the size of a copper basin, and we are not as good as those who kill the enemy in the front line and move their mouths in the rear. Jingyi met Dunhuang, who also came to visit the children, at the nursery school.

After staying in Qiyun Camp for nearly a month, Dunhuang seemed to have lived a very nourishing life in the mountains, and it seemed to be full of energy. This time I came back, obviously by the way, I went to the wedding ceremony of Ren Xiufang and Zhao Shimin to watch the ceremony. Jingyi still cared about him and asked, "Are you okay in Qiyun Mountain?" ”

Xiao Dunhuang smiled and said, "Except for the bad things, everything is fine." ”

Although he said it with a smile, his tone was quite relaxed, but Jing Yi also knew the complexity of the Qiyun camp. That elite army used to be controlled by Tao Jun's people, and it took a lot of effort for Tao Xiang to take it. There is no way to Dunhuang again, he is different from Tao Xiang, and it is even more difficult to convince the people up and down the Qiyun camp. However, this may be a good thing for Tao Xiang, who values the means of Dunhuang.

Jingyi also smiled, and when he saw it, he said, "I can't hide it from you." There will always be a time when they are poor in donkey skills, and when the time comes, they will see my ...... Ren cannon wedding, did you invite you? ”

Dunhuang didn't want to talk to Jingyi about those boring things about leading troops.

"Please. My aunt and grandmother would go to the ceremony, and I would accompany the old lady there. Jingyi said.

When Dunhuang heard this, he said, "It's so good."

Jing Yi saw that he was thoughtful, but not as talkative as just now, and asked, "What?" ”

"This Doctor Zhao has really set up camp here." Xiao Dunhuang said with a smile.

Jing Yi said softly: "This is also common. Wherever Dr. Ren is, he naturally wants to set up camp there. ”

Xiao Dunhuang smiled, nodded and said, "According to what you say, it makes sense." ”

Jing Yi's heart moved, and said, "Is there any other reason not to do it?" ”

Xiao Dunhuang shook his head and said: "I just think that their relationship is too good, which is really eye-catching." ”

He was clearly joking, Jingyi also wanted to laugh when he heard it, but he couldn't help it, and said, "What kind of truth are you, is it suspicious that people have good feelings?" ”

At this time, Joseph beckoned the two of them to have coffee, and Dunhuang smiled and asked Jingyi to walk in front, looking like Jingyi wanted to forgive. Joseph's coffee has always been good, and Jingyi and Dunhuang don't like it very much, and they both have their own cups.

"When Commander Tao met with William's missionary, he heard that the last thing he was used to was that there was no good coffee to drink here, so he asked someone to give him two large bags the next day. William only gave me a small packet. Joseph said with a smile, gesturing to see how many beans there were.

Dunhuang laughed.

Jing Yi was surprised at first, and then said: "He can understand this very well. ”

Joseph smiled and nodded.

A teacher came in to talk to him about things, he got up and left, and said in a low voice: "Commander Tao is the one who has the mind and demeanor of a politician." ”

Jingyi listened to him as if he was joking, and said, "It's just two packs of coffee beans......"

"Coffee beans are small, but the country behind the missionaries is big." Xiao Dunhuang smiled and looked at Jingyi silently, "Come, drink coffee." Don't say that. ”

Jingyi really didn't want to say this.

The coffee is very delicious, and the taste is still different from that that Tao Xiang drinks every day.

She didn't care what kind of meaning Tao Xiang would have behind meeting the missionaries and giving them gifts.

Seeing that Jingyi was silent, he only smiled and said nothing.

Jingyi is a very smart woman, but when she doesn't want to be smart, she is also very good at hiding her intelligence......

Coming out of the nursery school, Xiao Dunhuang wanted to go home to visit his parents, and escorted Jingyi for a while.

His car followed Jingyi's car and walked slowly.

When Jingyi's car was about to leave the alley, it suddenly stopped the car. Fortunately, his car was kept at a proper distance and braked hurriedly. I don't know why, I saw a team of honor guards leading by the alley, and a piece of white flowers was the funeral procession.

The line was long, a quarter of an hour before it passed through the alley. The yellow paper on the street was sprinkled, and in the hot weather, the paper was almost lit by the sun.

Xiao Dunhuang honked the horn, and Jingyi's car started. Out of the alley, after two streets, he honked his horn again and parted ways with her.

Jingyi sat in the car, her face was not good-looking.

Xu is that she has been a little restless in the past two days, and it is inevitable that she will be uncomfortable when she goes out to meet this.

When the car arrived at Tongshi Lane, Lao Zhang stopped the car. Jingyi entered the door and saw a lot of things piled up in the hallway, and the servants were counting them under the command of Steward Cong. Seeing her coming, Steward Cong came over to ask for peace and told her that these were all prepared by the Seventh Master and ready to be sent to the chairman's mansion when he turned around...... He said as he handed the list to Jingyi. Jingyi is also here for this matter today. Taking the list, Jingyi looked at it carefully. The official residence is behind the Dongcheng Provincial Government, and it should be taken care of every day. Although his father-in-law Tao Shengchuan never officially moved into the official residence when he was concurrent, there are still people there who maintain it well.

Jingyi took a look, added a few things for Steward Cong to do, and explained that she had prepared them for the past two days, and she would go to inspect them at that time.

She also has to be convinced of Tao Xiang's meticulousness. He has to do his best no matter what he has to do. Even such details can be taken into account.

Steward Cong asked her to rest inside, Jingyi thought about it, and said just sit in the water pavilion and cool down.

It was nearly noon, and it wasn't too hot, so she wanted to walk around the yard. It's been a long time since I've been here...... Many of the flowers and trees were newly planted this spring, and they are not very good. Steward Cong followed behind Jingyi, Xu watched her pay attention to the growth of flowers and trees, and explained that compared with previous years, the scenery in the garden was only five or six points, which was not good.

"Isn't it good to maintain it in the winter?" Jingyi stood outside the water pavilion and looked at the layers of lotus leaves in the water, which were blooming very well. "After so many years of housekeeping, the flower craftsmen are all old people, how can it be?"

Steward Cong pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't done a lot of bad things...... Last year, it was cold and I froze to death. There are also some that the seventh master drank wine one day and cut them with a knife...... At that time, the seventh master was in a bad mood. ”

"That's it." Jing Yi whispered.

His temperament, when he came up for a while, was ruthless.

She sighed and said, "It's a pity for those flowers and trees...... Fortunately, it can still be mended. ”

"It can't be mended, the old flower craftsmen have left roots and slowly cultivated them. It's going to take a few more decades to get back to the original shape. Steward Cong said busily.

Jingyi entered the water pavilion and sat down, and Steward Cong had already instructed the maid to bring tea. Jingyi asked him to get busy, and only said that he wanted to sit here quietly for a while. When the steward saw that she had not brought anyone with her, he asked the maid to stand guard outside and wait for the dispatch. Jingyi simply took off her shoes and sat on the tatami mat that Tao Xiang used to study, work, and rest. There are a few books next to the pillow. She went over and picked up one at random, but was caught in the next one. She hesitated for a moment, then reached for it—a small brown leather-faced book. There is a gilded font on the spine. When you open it, the antique paper and typography make this book a little different from the others. However, this was not what surprised her the most. To her surprise, this book, except for the signature on the title page, was almost identical to hers - a line of English on the title page, with a little scribbled font, was Si-Tao, which was actually Tao Si's book.

She flipped through it.

Many of the poems in the poetry collection were memorized by she...... She gently closed the book and put it back to the pillow as usual. I picked up the pillow and patted it to make it neater. The pillow is embroidered with lotus flowers, pink flowers on the bottom of the lake, which is a little old, but it is still good-looking...... She looked at the pillow in a daze, and only turned back when she heard the sound. It was the maid who was sitting outside and dozing off, and her head accidentally touched the bamboo curtain.

She whispered, "Don't sit on that cold ground, it's hard to get cold." ”

The maid almost jumped up in shock, and said in a panic that the seventh young grandmother couldn't help it.

The little maid was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looked very cute.

Jingyi asked her to come in and look at her, her straightforward appearance was a bit like a grass bead.

"What's it called?" Jingyi asked.

"Back to the young grandmother's words, call Xiaoju." Ju replied briskly.

Jingyi asked her age, how many years has she been in Tao's house. Xiaoju spoke clearly and answered her one by one. Jing Yi looked at the refreshments in front of her, twisted a piece of cake and held it in her hand. The pastry has a floral fragrance and is decorated with petals, which should be made of peony flowers.

"Is Brother Dong's daughter-in-law still here now?" Jingyi asked.

"I'm not usually there. This month, the cook had something to do at home, and Steward Cong asked her to work for her, and she came every day. Xiaoju said.

"You go and tell the kitchen, I'll order a peony cake and let her bring it to me." Jingyi broke a piece of the peony cake and put it in her mouth.

It's a little sweet. Compared to what the cook at home makes, the sweetness is much sweeter.

She looked at the large expanse of water outside through the thin bamboo curtain, and the snow-white lotus flowers were shining in the sun...... Even if the scenery in this garden is only five or six minutes old, it is enough to see.

"Grandma Seven." Someone is coming from outside.

"Come in." Jingyi didn't move, still leaning on the small table.

Hearing the footsteps gently approaching, he turned around, and Cao Zhu stood there holding a red lacquer food box, bowing his head and saluting.

"Put it down, I'll have someone take it when we go." Jingyi said. Gazing at the grass beads. The grass beads still look dark, but they are thinner than before. She didn't open her mouth to let her go, she had to stand. "I always told you to bring melons to show me, and I won't come if I am old."

Cao Zhu raised her eyes to look at Jing Yi, quickly lowered her head again, and said, "Yes, young grandma." ”

Jingyi could hear that she was a little choked, and she couldn't bear it, so she said: "I will make peony cakes in the future, just put a little sugar or two." ”

"Yes." The grass beads agreed, and the tears were about to roll down.

Jingyi looked at her for a while, turned her face away, still looking out the window, and asked, "Are you okay when you go?" ”
