Chapter 8: Snow Like Jade (6)

Jingyi closed the window and came over to open the door. Relief of residual jaw boils

Tao Xiao looked at her - Yan Qing's brocade robe was covered with a long white bib, the long braid was conveniently coiled on the top of her head, and she was held with a golden hairpin, and the peony stamen on her hairpin head was trembling, obviously she had just come over in a hurry, and there were a few beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, and dust was rubbed on her forehead - it looked like she was cleaning up the house.

Tao Xiang looked at the furnishings - although they were covered with white cloth and dust, they had obviously not been used or cleaned for many days, but it could be seen that the furnishings here were mostly designed for the use of her daughter's home, presumably, this was her former boudoir...... Tao Xiang didn't expect to come here by mistake.

This is indeed Jingyi's former residence, and she is indeed cleaning up the house.

I haven't come back for nearly half a year, and as soon as the door lock dropped, no one came in to move. She came to check in the past two days, remembered the books in the study that had not been taken, and saw that the books were covered with thick dust, and she was distressed.

She wasn't going to invite Tao Xiang into the study, but Tao Xiang didn't plan to ask for her consent at all, so she walked in.

"Hey......" Jingyi exclaimed.

Tao Xiang heard it and looked back at her.

Jing Yi stopped.

"Seventh Young Master." A crisp sound.

Tao Xiang looked up and saw that her personal girl Xiao Qiuwei was standing on the shelf wiping the bookshelf, and when she saw him come in, she was startled, and she had to grab the bookshelf so that it didn't fall off.

He waved his hand, but Qiu Wei still got down from the shelf and saluted him.

"This is my room." Jingyi said. The meaning of eviction is clear.

Tao Xiang look here, compared to other places in Yiyuan, this place does not seem luxurious and spacious. Although there are stacks of books everywhere and bookcases that are horizontal and vertical, there is also a strong bookish atmosphere.

Jing Yi hurriedly went out and closed the door of the east room.

Tao Xiang knew that it was her boudoir.

She should have opened the window here just now to shake the dustβ€”it was a mess she had turned over, and almost all the books on the shelves had been removed, either stacked on the floor, or stacked on desks and chairs, and some of them were crooked, and if they accidentally touched them, they must have fallen to the ground in pieces. Tao Xiang looked back at Jingyi and asked, "How can you take care of cleaning up these at this time?" ”

Jing Yi was silent.

There are two days to go before the wedding, and it is said that she is busy, and she is not busy with tidying up the study. Everything in the house was taken care of, and she really couldn't think of what she should prepare. Her mother-in-law only asked her to accompany her mother, who had been discharged from the hospital and returned home to recuperate; Her mother always urged her to come to Yiyuan to have a look. She couldn't see anything wrong at all, she walked and walked, and there was only one thing left, and she wanted to come in and see.

"I'd like to take some books with me." Jingyi said.

Tao Xiang picked up a book in his hand and flipped it over, and the words densely written on the margins should be reading essays.

"Why don't you list the books and let people buy them again in the past." He said.

"That's a waste. I'll sort it out. If you can't bring it this time, you'll be next time. Jingyi said.

Tao Xiang glanced at her.

Jingyi walked over.

Qiu Wei removed the books from both chairs and went out.

"When was Aunt Yu discharged from the hospital?" Tao Xiang sat down and asked.

Jing Yi looked at himβ€”he was dressed today. The dark gray tweed coat was a little stiff and drooped at the hem, but it didn't look casual at all. Except for the day she had seen him in a military gown, it was the first time she had seen him dressed so formally β€” she looked down, looked at the tips of his shiny boots, and said, "It's been days." ”

"Feeling better?" Tao Xiang asked, taking off the lambskin gloves.

Jingyi nodded and said, "I want to discuss something with you." ”

Tao Xiang said: "Let's hear it. ”

"Can I ...... after the wedding in the past? Let's go back to Beiping first...... Last time? My mother's health is not very good, and I want to spend more time with her. Jingyi said.

"Listen to what you mean, this is because you haven't entered the Tao family's door yet, and you have already thought about escaping?" Tao Xiang's tone was flat, and he couldn't tell if he was serious or joking.

Jing Yi's heart jumped, and before she could tell, Tao Xiao had already stood up.

She took a step back and looked at him.

"I know I'm asking a little too much, but ......"

"But on the honeymoon, my wife is still with me." Tao Xiang said with a smile, putting on gloves, "We will discuss these things in the future." The photos have already been delivered, and it has not yet been decided which one will be published in the newspaper. Come and choose with me. I'll be waiting for you outside. ”

After he finished speaking, he left, Jing Yi stood in place, her hands trembling a little.

When she untied the bib, she couldn't untie it with a lot of effort, but Qiu Wei came in and collected the bib for her.

Qiu Wei looked at her and whispered, "Miss, the Seventh Young Master is waiting for you outside." ”

Jingyi grabbed her fur coat and walked out of the room, Qiu Wei following far behind.

Tu Huyi and Ma Xingjian saw Tao Xiang and Jingyi coming out of the bamboo forest one after another. Tao Xiang in military costume is tall, and Jingyi, who is wrapped in a fur coat, is petite and exquisite, round like a little white fox, looking very charming and cute. The two were about to laugh, when they saw Tao Xiang's flat face, they flashed to the side for a while, and when Tao Xiang walked over, they said hello to Jingyi in unison, calling "Miss Ten", looking at Qiu Wei, Tu Huyi was more familiar with Qiu Wei, and asked her quietly: "What's wrong?" ”

Qiu Wei gave him a blank look and said nothing.

Ma Xingjian saw that Tu Huyi touched his nose and looked gloomy, and couldn't help laughing.

"Rest Garden" is Tao Xiang's residence in Yiyuan. When he came here, he went straight into the study, and he didn't care about Jingyi, he took off his coat, called Tu Huyi in, and told him to take the photo.

Tu Huyi ran to bring a small suitcase and put it on the desk.

Jingyi had already received the same small suitcase, knew what was inside, and was not in a hurry, sitting quietly opposite Tao Xiang, waiting for Tao Xiang to look at the photos.

"Rest Garden" used to be the third brother's devotion. Although the third brother's things have been moved, the furniture has not changed.

Jingyi reached out and touched the bottom of the desk. There's a crack that goes into your little finger, and it's still there.

Tao Xiang flipped through the photos.

The room was silent, and she didn't speak.

He stopped looking through the photograph, pulled out one, placed it on the table, and closed the suitcase.

Jing Yi knew that this was the meaning of which one he had already decided, tilted his head to look at it, and immediately said, "This one is not good." ”

Which one he chose was not good, he chose the one where she was sitting on a chair in a wedding dress, and the two of them folded their hands on her shoulders...... Not to mention the ambiguous gestures, even their expressions were so ambiguous when they were photographed by Old Oakes for some reason - she obviously didn't laugh at the time, and she was laughing when she landed on the photo paper.

That smile in her eyes gave her goosebumps - it was inevitable that she immediately remembered that day when the photos were sent home, in the mother's room, the third wife, the fourth wife, and the seventh sister and eight sisters, when they saw the photos, the surprised expression. The third lady said quickly that she felt rigid and boring when she looked at their photos, and Miss Wuji's was already lively, but she had never seen such a photo. The fourth lady agreed, saying that Miss Ten and the Seventh Young Master were really talented and beautiful, and they were a good match. There is also the disdainful eyes of the seventh sister, which makes her feel like she is on pins and needles...... My grandmother said that Zhang Zhang was fine, and my mother also said that it was good, and she didn't blame her for being frivolous because of this photo.

But if it's in the newspapers...... She didn't dare to imagine how far her reputation would go in the future.

And those, old Oakes took a lot of photos of her actions, and did not deliberately arrange her legs, feet and arms, and it was understandable to keep them as intimate photos, and take them out for others to see...... Even at this moment, let Tao Xiang see it, she also felt embarrassed.

I want to cut it up or burn it.

He also picked this one?

Was this revenge for her proposal?

Tao Xiang struck a match and sneered. was said by her, and her heart was like a pinch of fire that suddenly appeared. He lit a cigarette.

Jingyi opened the suitcase, picked out one from it, put it next to the photo, and said, "This one." ”

Tao Xiang glanced at the photo: it was completely different from the one he chose.

Although she was also wearing the white wedding dress, and he was wearing a military dress. But she stood beside him with a bouquet of flowers, two feet away from him. If it weren't for Old Oakes's lens being wide enough, she would have been able to hide from him.

Jing Yi saw that Tao Xiang didn't speak, so he took it upon himself to pick up the one he picked up and put it back in the small suitcase.

Tao Xiang stretched out a finger and pinned the photo to the table.

"Atul." Tao Xiang shouted in a deep voice.

"Yes." Tu Huyi was overwhelmed by the tense atmosphere between the two, and when he saw Tao Xiang's orders, he hurriedly agreed.

Tao Xiang took out the photo and handed it to Tu Huyi, stared at Jing Yi's eyes, and said, "Give the photo to Cen Gaoying and ask him to send it to the newspaper along with the wedding press release." ”

"Wait." Jingyi said.

Tu Huyi's hand to take the photo stopped in mid-air, looked at Tao Xiang, and took a step back.

"Wait a minute......," Jingyi said, reopening the small suitcase, pulling around in it for a while, pulling out another photo, holding it in his hand and facing Tao Xiang, "How about this one?" ”

Tao Xiang narrowed.

Still in the same attire, he stood side by side with her, his hands hanging down, holding hers.

She must have been stepping on the board, so the top of her hair was at his earlobe, and the white roses were in the right position for her...... It's not intimate, it's not alienated, and both of them have just the right amount of solemnity on their faces. Although she still seems much more reserved than he is. However, it is still said in the past.

He took a drag on his cigarette.

Jingyi looked at him, a trace of smoke spewed out of her nasal cavity, and she couldn't breathe for the time being.

Tao Xiang took the photo in his hand and lit up at the picture.

Tu Huyi took the photo and asked, "Qishao, what else do you have to order?" ”
