It's just that she doesn't know about it...... He heard footsteps, turned his face and saw that it was Qiu Wei who had come in.

Tao Xiang didn't get up either.

"Mama Zhang sent ginger soup, uncle." Qiu Wei came back with a towel and whispered.

"Get up and drink the ginger soup." Tao Xiang got up at this time.

Qiu Wei went over to give the towel to Jing Yiyi.

Jingyi wiped her hair, and when she saw Zhang's mother come in and put the ginger soup and porridge bowl on the bedside table, she stood with her hands tied, so she said, "I'll eat it later." ”

Zhang's mother smiled and said, "Young grandma, don't wait for the porridge to be cold, it's not good to have a stomachache when you look back." The Seventh Young Master is hungry and has a stomachache......"

Tao Xiang was sitting on the sofa, and when he heard Zhang's mother say, he said, "It's not a pony, it must be Artudozui." Zhu"

"Who else needs to say, don't we know it? Adjutant Ma often goes to the kitchen in the middle of the night to ask for something. Zhang's mother smiled and brought the small bowl of ginger soup to Jingyi, "It's okay now, there will be a young grandmother watching you in the future." ”

Jingyi had no choice but to take the bowl, looked at Tao Xiang, and asked Zhang's mother in a low voice: "Zhang's mother, I seem to remember what my mother said before, did the family prepare clothes for me?" "Since there are bathrobes and pajamas for her in the bathroom, there should be her new clothes here.

"Look at my memory. Young grandmother, Mrs. also instructed me to tell the young grandmother first, there are clothes for the four seasons, and they are in that small room. Zhang's mother said, turned around and pointed to a small door next to the bathroom, and showed Jingyi.

Jingyi said to Qiu Wei, "Go and get me a piece of clothing to change into." ”

Qiu Wei nodded.

Jingyi drank the ginger soup, and Zhang's mother watched her eat half a bowl of porridge before she was willing to go down. Jingyi thought about it, this mother Zhang was only a little more than her mother Qiao, and even this silent and stubborn vow not to give up on the master's goal was like enough...... She wiped her hair, pondered to herself, and remained silent.

Tao Xiang was also silent, and after a while, he lit a cigarette.

With this tobacco smell in the house, it didn't seem so embarrassing.

Jing Yi suddenly felt that Qiu Wei had been away for too long, and saw that Tao Xiao was looking through a pictorial from nowhere, as if she didn't care about her in this room at all, and quietly lifted the quilt and went to the ground. When she looked down and didn't even have slippers, she didn't care, she walked quickly, just as Qiu Wei had just walked out of the cloakroom door with a stack of clothes, and saw her stepping on the carpet barefoot, she exclaimed in surprise: "Ouch, Miss, you are ......"

Jingyi waved her hand to back down, and she had to go back with those clothes.

"I don't know what Miss wants, I'm dazzled." Qiu Wei honestly put down her clothes again and rested them on the bench in the cloakroom.

Jing Yi looked at it, liked the tender green skirt gown, and said, "That's it." ”

It's really too peachy to the eyes, and it's too delicate.

In fact, the tender green is also delicate, and she should say that it is better to wear it darker.

Qiu Wei saw her thoughts and said, "Then why don't you pick it yourself?" Anyway, there are a lot of clothes, and it takes a while to change three sets a day. ”

Jingyi sat down, put on her underwear first, and hurriedly put it on layer by layer. Qiu Wei opened the cupboard door one by one, not knowing what she was talking about, she was full of thoughts about how to get Tao Xiang out of this bedroom, and she would not come back...... If he can't get out, then she's ...... Thinking about this, I can't even tie my hands to the buttons.

In a hurry, his face turned red.

Qiu Wei came over and buttoned her one by one.

"Miss, are you afraid of your uncle?" Qiu Wei asked in a low voice.

"Nonsense. What am I afraid of him? Jingyi was impatient and wanted to push Qiu Wei's hand away to tie it herself, but Qiu Wei pushed her hand away, saying that Miss should not move around, isn't it good to tie it herself, Jingyi glared at her, "Do you want to rebel?" Jing Yi shouted.

Qiu Wei stuck out the tip of her tongue and said, "Okay, I was wrong, Miss!" ”

"Why do you keep talking to him tonight?" Jing Yi raised her chin and looked at herself from the dressing mirror, the light cast by the crystal lamp above her head was bright and bright, and the bruises on her fair face were like shadows lurking in the light.

"Miss, before I came, Mother Qiao instructed me to mention Miss from time to time......" Qiu Wei quickly glanced at Jingyi, saw that she was just looking at the mirror, and said quickly: "Uncle, is Miss the closest person in this family...... It is also the most reliable ...... You see that this time we were robbed by bandits, how could we come back so quickly and safely if it wasn't for my uncle? But the young lady always doesn't give her uncle a good face, I'm afraid it's ...... Ouch! Miss! ”

Qiu Wei touched her shoulders, looked at Jingyi aggrievedly, and stomped her feet.

"Why didn't you say that if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been robbed at all?" Jingyi frowned.

"That's not what Mrs. said, marry a chicken with a chicken......" Qiu Wei pouted.

Jingyi looked at Qiu Wei like that and said, "Go and see, is he still there?" ”

Sit down and put on your shoes and socks.

"Uncle isn't here, where is he going?" Qiu Wei muttered, was looked up by Jingyi, stuck out the tip of her tongue again, quietly went over and opened the door to take a look, and turned back and said, "It's here." ”

Jingyi sighed.

Stood up, and walked around the room twice—in the glass cabinet, there were all kinds of cufflinks, and bow ties were neatly arranged...... She leaned onto the glass countertop for a moment.

Qiu Wei urged her: "Miss, go out, you can't hide here for a night...... Can my uncle be scarier than a bandit? ”

Jingyi shook her hand and slammed on the corner of the cabinet, and she took a breath of cool air in pain.

"Miss......" Qiu Wei rubbed her hands.

Jing Yi raised her hand and poked her forehead and said, "The mouth is not covered." ”

"But Miss, you're dressed too neatly for this big night." After Qiu Wei finished speaking, she pressed her lips with both hands.

Jing Yi smiled, calmed down, and said, "I really want to fall into bed and sleep in the dark." ”

She yawned as she spoke. Looking at the comfortable bench in front of her, even if she really lay down here, she could sleep very sweetly...... It's a pity that it can't be done anyway.

"Seventh Young Master, Madam is here." Outside, Zhang's mother is reporting.

Jingyi was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the small grandfather clock, it was already very late, and she didn't expect Mrs. Tao to come at this time.

She stood in front of the dressing mirror, looked at the front and back, left and right, and said, "Qiu Wei, quickly pull up my hair for me." ”

She heard Tao Xiang say, "I know, you go and tell Madame that the young grandmother has fallen asleep ......", she pushed the door and went out to see Tao Xiang still sitting there, and when she saw her unkempt, she really frowned and said, "Mother is here." ”

"I hear you, go down at once." Jingyi sat down in front of the dresser.

She thought Tao Xiang was going downstairs, but Tao Xiang got up and stood behind her.

Qiu Wei gave Jingyi a simple bun of hair.

Jing Yi gave Qiu Wei two hairpins and looked at Tao Xiang from the mirror.

She realized that Tao Xiang had something to say.

"The third brother has arrived." Tao Xiang said.

Qiu Wei put the hairpin in place and stood aside.

Jingyi's hand was empty, but it was still there.

"When did you arrive?" Her voice was a little strange, just staring at Tao Xiang's projection in the mirror.

"Earlier tonight." Tao Xiang said, "The third brother came with the third sister-in-law, and for the sake of safety, he lived in the headquarters compound. The third sister-in-law wanted to come to see you right away, and the third brother said that you need to rest. They will come early tomorrow morning, and it will not be too late to see you again. Tao Xiang said.

Jingyi stood up and said, "Let's go down, don't let Mother wait." ”

She walked past Tao Xiang.

The golden hairpin made her jet-black bun soft and shiny, but it had just been washed, and a few strands of hair on her neck hung down dishonestly...... She wrapped her fingers around it.

Tao Xiang didn't take a few steps to overtake her, and when he went downstairs, he walked even faster.

Jing Yi looked at his broad back, but walked more and more slowly.

I heard a whisper coming faintly from downstairs, and when I turned a corner, I could see Mrs. Tao, but she stood up the stairs, and her heart panicked.

"Miss?" Qiu Wei called her.

Jingyi nodded, and then continued to descend the stairs, when she saw Tao Xiao bending down to talk to a little girl in a red brocade robe from a distance, she couldn't help but let out a low "oh" - it turned out to be a squeeze......

"Little aunt!" Tao Sese raised his eyes and looked at Jing Yi, and stretched out his arm.

Tao Xiang turned around and saw Jingyi walking down, picked up Cersei, and said, "Mother and second sister-in-law came together." ”

"Jingyi!" Xu Yamei was originally sitting next to Mrs. Tao, but at this time, she couldn't help but get up, and hugged Jingyi in her arms one step ahead of her daughter, and before she could speak, tears had already flowed.

"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Jingyi helped her, and when she saw that Mrs. Tao also stood up, she hurriedly shouted, "Mother! ”

Yamei wiped away her tears and couldn't speak.

Mrs. Tao patted Yamei's back and said to Jingyi: "Yamei has been worried about you the most these days, and with the hospitalization, she lost her weight first. All right...... Jingyi hugged her quickly, I heard that you are back, why is the little guy not in the hospital...... Cersei, are you happy to see your little aunt? ”

"Little aunt hug!" Cersei said clearly.

"The little aunt is tired, and she ......is obedient," said Yamei.

Jing Yi picked up Cersei from the crook of Tao Xiang's arm and said, "It's okay. ”

Mrs. Tao let them all sit down, and Jingyi put Cerse on her lap, touched Cersei's forehead, and saw that she had nothing wrong except for being pale, and felt a little at ease. Yamei knew that she was worried about Sese, and explained: "It's just that I'm a little frightened, I can't leave people these days, and the rest is fine." ”

Yamei looked at Jingyi, and Jingyi smiled at her and shook her head.

Mrs. Tao was closest to Jingyi, she looked at Jingyi's face, reached out, wanted to touch but didn't touch, and finally just shook Jingyi's hand and said, "I've been wronged, Jingyi." ”

"No ......" Jingyi lowered her head.

Mrs. Tao's hands were big and warm, but somehow doing so made her uneasy.

Mrs. Tao saw that she was uncomfortable, patted the back of her hand, removed her hand without a trace, and said, "I originally agreed with Lao Qi that I would let you rest quietly outside for a few days, and then come in after the banquet." Even if that's the case, it's okay, the more you save and toss again, the more hard work you have. ”

Jingyi nodded.

"I said let the doctor take a look, and the seventh said that you are the doctor yourself." Mrs. Tao said and glanced at Tao Xiang. Tao Xiang was drinking tea, and when he saw his mother looking at him, he didn't say anything. "I think so. But if there's anything uncomfortable, don't put up with it. ”

"Yes, Mother." Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"You should have been resting in peace. But I won't come to see you, I don't feel at ease. Don't go to the yamen these days, toss these days, I'm afraid that the two of you won't be energetic by that day. Mrs. Tao said.

"I can't afford not to go. Otherwise, the second brother will be tired. Tao Xiang said.

"That's not what he should?" Yamei said, reminding her mother-in-law that it was time for them to go. She was in a happier mood than when she came, especially when she saw Jingyi and Tao Xiang sitting side by side, although the two of them were not intimate, they seemed to be much better than the rusty and stiff in Beiping...... She winked at Jingyi.

Jing Yi avoided her gaze, but the smile in Yamei's eyes deepened.

Jingyi lowered her head, her delicate forehead pressed against her chin, and the soft fragrance of the child's body made her heart tremble...... The indescribable soreness gradually set up.

"Yes, I still have to go to the old lady. I'm courting the old lady, so you don't have to go early to say hello these days. The old lady is also not allowed. Mrs. Tao instructed Jingyi a few more words before leaving.

She didn't let Jingyi send it, but called Tao Xiang out.

Jingyi stood at the door, watching Tao Xiang hug her and send Mrs. Tao and her to the gate of the courtyard...... She looked at the silent courtyard. It's really cold outside, and it's icy. Tao Xiao didn't come back, Mrs. Tao and Yamei didn't go far, she couldn't just turn around and leave first.

She asked Mama Zhang and Qiu Wei to go in first to rest. At first, Qiu Wei refused, but she was pushed away by Zhang's mother. Yu Jingyi stood outside alone, holding the hand stove that Zhang's mother stuffed for her. It seemed like the only bit of warmth on this cold night......

Tao Xiang turned around and saw Jingyi still standing in front of the building.

A faint green shadow is printed there. Just like her face, it also faded to the extreme at this time. He walked up to her, and she looked up at him, but did not speak.

He entered, and she followed.

He went upstairs, and she followed......

Jingyi stood in the living room, watching Tao Xiang pick up his coat, and just as he didn't know what he was going to do, he heard Tao Xiang say, "I'll come back tomorrow morning." ”

Jingyi pursed her lips. A heart seemed to fall from the air, and she could hear it.

Seeing her relieved look, Tao Xiang turned around in silence, only took two steps, he turned around again, paused slightly, saw a trace of nervousness on her face, walked back without hesitation, and held her in his arms.

Jingyi struggled.

Tao Xiang's hand reached into her waist and stuck there, holding her firmly.

Jing Yi panicked in her heart and looked at him with red eyes.

Tao Xiang lowered his head and kissed her gently on the lips. Tossing and sucking, slowly, carrying her through the living room, through the bedroom, and laying her down on the soft bed...... His hand was at her side, looking at her.

Jingyi gritted her teeth.

Beneath him was the soft bed, so soft that each of his gentle touches would trigger a series of resonances that she could not control...... What is even more difficult to control is the fear in the heart. Although it was him in her eyes, there was a cloud of darkness in this fiery red, and there were faintly hideous faces in the darkness, constantly spinning...... She involuntarily began to tremble.

I closed my eyes, thinking that I couldn't see anything anymore, and I wouldn't be so frightened, but I was still shaking.

"You look at me." Tao Xiang's warm hand was on her earlobe.

Her soft and cool earlobes between his fingers slowly became as warm as his hands.

She opened her eyes.

His warm breath had a faint smell of wine, like silky silk around her neck, gradually wrapping around her neck...... She began to breathe hard, trying to dodge the tight entanglement...... Maybe if you dodge, you will also avoid fear.

"It's me." He said. There was a calming power in his voice, and he said very slowly, very slowly: "This is at home, Jingyi." ”

Her eyes fogged.

Tao Xiang's lips were imprinted on her lips.

The kiss was gentle and steady, slow and long...... Jingyi slowly closed her eyes during the kiss, and a deep tiredness came over her.

She didn't have the strength to hold it anymore.

"Tao Xiang......" she called his name softly, her soft, warm arms at his side. Tao Xiang propped his arms and looked at her carefully. She continued dreamily, "Don't worry...... I'm not going to tell them. I'm you...... Wife...... Third Brother ......"

Tao Xiang let go of her.

She was sunk deep in the soft bed, unable to turn over, and a brocade robe was crumpled by him...... He sat on the edge of the bed for a long time, reaching for her chin to undo it. But after a pause, he only pulled the corners of the quilt and covered her body, then got up and took his coat and walked out.

Along the way, I turned off the lights all the way, leaving only the one at the head of the bed.

He looked back before closing the door.

Downstairs, Tu Huyi saw that he had a blue face and his coat was not properly dressed, so he reminded him in a low voice: "It's cold in the mountains, seven less." ”

Tao Xiang was silent.

He walked straight into the dining room, took out the remaining half bottle of brandy from the wine cabinet, poured out a full glass, and drank it in one gulp.

Tu Huyi was taken aback. He knew the habit of the seventh young man, if he went to patrol the camp, he should not drink at all.

Tao Xiang took the holster from Tu Huyi's hand and tied it as he walked.

Out of the door, the chill almost immediately extinguished the warmth of the glass of brandy.

He walked briskly through the courtyard without looking back......

When all the sounds were silenced in the night, Jingyi finally turned over.

The only lamp left in the room, the warm light, made her feel stable and secure.

At least on this night, she was finally able to sleep peacefully until dawn.
