Chapter 12: A Scroll of Paintings (7)
"Oh," Jing Yi raised her arm to the pillow, thinking that Miss Fu Er was graceful and good-looking, and said, "I saw her at the Lamp Market today." Shu Yu has a kind of ...... I can't tell. ”
"Well, it's actually far from the national color. But like my sister-in-law, I have a terrifying soul in my bones, right? Yamei asked.
"Hmm." Jingyi thought about it, it was indeed described by Yamei. She rolled over and propped her head to look at Yamei who closed her eyes and was recuperating, "What's her name?" ”
"Fu Mizhen." Yamei opened her eyes, frowned and asked, "I said, what do you do with this irrelevant person?" Do you like her very much? ”
Jingyi nodded, shook her head again, and said, "It's just a little curious...... Shan"
"What are you curious about? There is a Western proverb that curiosity kills cats. Don't you know? Yamei said with a smile.
Jingyi fell on the pillow and smiled: "I'm just asking." ”
She was silent, but Yamei came to see her again and asked, "Is it still that good-looking?" Di"
"Who?" Jing Yi asked rhetorically.
"Fu Mizhen. Although it is not a national color and natural fragrance, the Jincheng Fu family Shuangshu back then is also worthy of its name. You can see the sister-in-law. Yamei snorted softly.
Jing Yi smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Yamei touched Jingyi.
"Second sister-in-law, your tone is so sour...... Could it be that the second brother still pursued Sister Fu? Jingyi asked with a smile.
"Not really. But their brothers...... Speaking of which, it's also quite amorous. Yamei said. A word without praise or disapproval. Jingyi listened attentively.
Tao Xiang? Sentimental? Maybe yes.
"There are some things that don't take to heart. No big deal. Yamei whispered, "In the Tao family, you just have to be careful, and you don't have to care when it's not right." You want to take it one step at a time, and there are still people who tear down the stage from time to time. It's better to see the move. Just remember that. I'm too lazy to bother with that...... Go to sleep. What's the matter, can't I sleep next to me? ”
Jingyi stretched out her hand and came over to pinch Yamei.
Through the silk shirt, he pinched Ya Mei and told him to forgive.
"Ouch, you're not too strong...... Remember not to pinch Lao Qi like this, it will find something wrong...... Really, it's not to scare you, I once pinched the royal ...... like this" Yamei suddenly stopped, snorted, and didn't say any more.
Jingyi smiled.
Yamei is angry again, and those charming times that will be touched inadvertently also reveal how loving she and Tao Si are.
"Second sister-in-law, how difficult it is to meet, how difficult it is to ...... in one place" Jingyi closed her eyes.
She was also very tired, and always felt as if she was on the sea.
Although there is no wind and no waves, but the tiny surge will still have some water droplets choking into the nose, and you can't breathe heavily, otherwise your heart and lungs will hurt together......
In a trance, she heard the sound of small fragments. I felt hot, but I didn't want to move for a while.
turned over and heard someone call her: "Yi'er...... Yi'er? ”
"I'm not in class today, mother." She rolled up the quilt. It's so hot, and I hug the quilt tightly.
"Yi'er...... Wake up...... Yi'er? The gentle voice, right in my ears, seemed to be a little anxious, trying to wake her up. Let me see you ......"
"Mother!" Jingyi suddenly opened her eyes, in front of her was an emerald green tent, and the cross-necked mandarin duck was hidden under the lotus leaf, this was not her bed.
She sat up violently, and the voice in her dream was so clear, it was her mother.
She cupped her forehead.
Yamei beside her was shocked by her, and asked her dimly, "What time is it?" ”
Jingyi touched the clothes on the side and took out her pocket watch to take a look.
"It's half past seven." Jingyi sat down, looking at the photo of her mother in her pocket watch in a daze.
Somehow, my heart tugged up, as if the mother in the photo would blink her eyes and smile when she looked at her. The voice in my ears was extremely clear, and it was clear that my mother was talking...... She snapped her pocket watch shut.
"What's wrong with you?" Yamei got up, "Have a nightmare?" I hear you call mother. ”
"I dreamed of my mother." Jingyi put her pocket watch aside.
It was not early, and she got dressed and got out of bed.
As soon as they moved, the girls outside were busy.
Jingyi washed her face and came out, and saw Tao Si playing with Cersei in the main room - the lovely Cersei was lying on Tao Si's lap, smiling sweetly - "Second brother is early." Jing Yi said hello.
Tao Si turned to look at her and nodded.
Jingyi saw Tao Si, his beard was unkempt, and his eyes were red, although he was cleaned up, he couldn't get rid of a little decadence, compared to the haggard Yamei inside, he was really not much better. But she didn't want to open her mouth to persuade Tao Si. She always has to be on Yamei's side. just knew that he should also go, so he asked Hu Niu to say a word to Yamei and quietly retreated.
Walking out of Ke Garden, there was a sedan chair parked at the door, saying that the second young master had ordered him to send the seventh young grandmother back.
Jingyi felt flustered, so she wanted to take a walk and sent the sedan chair, but the sedan chair man still followed from a distance.
She didn't feel tired until she was halfway there, and finally got into the sedan chair.
This made Qiu Wei panic.
After entering the door, Tao Xiang was training the white lion in the yard, and when he saw her come in with a pale face, he frowned.
When the white lion saw Jing Yi, he ran at her with Tao Xiang's belt in his mouth, and when he saw that he was about to pounce on her again, he was stopped by Tao Xiang, Jing Yi let out a sigh and said, "I'll go up and change my clothes, and I'll go with you later." ”
Tao Xiang saw that there was no blood on her face, so she said, "Go up and rest, I told my grandmother not to eat." Just go to my mother's side at noon and order something. ”
Jing Yi still understands in her heart that today's Lantern Festival is only a lot more arranged than Chinese New Year's Eve. If she can't say this, she won't go out, it's not okay. But when she turned around, she felt that her eyes were full of stars, and Tao Xiang's figure seemed to be getting farther and farther away in the morning light, and she sat on the steps with a "bang".
"Miss!" Qiu Wei hurried over.
Jingyi waved her hand, "Don't make a fuss. ”
Tao Xiang stepped forward and waited for her breath to settle before asking her, "Are you dizzy?" ”
He didn't wait for her to answer, he picked her up.
She must have been dizzy at this moment, so she honestly just looked at him, her gaze fixed on his face, as if his appearance was still very strange.
It wasn't the first time Tao Xiang had felt such strangeness in her eyes. He instructed Qiu Wei to fetch food, saying, "There's nothing in my stomach, it's strange if I don't faint." ”
She didn't speak, but looked at him.
"Something?" He asked. Her black and white eyes were enlarged by her pale face. But no matter how you look at it, there is no spirit.
Jingyi asked, "Can you help me...... Telegram home? I ......" she wanted to say that she dreamed of her mother last night, and there was nothing special about it, but she was just restless. But think about what the reason is...... "Nothing." I'm in a bit of a trance. ”
"Okay." Tao Xiang agreed.
"That's it...... Ask my mother if she's better. Jingyi said.
"Good. I'll leave it to the ponies. Tao Xiang looked at her and said, "I have something else to tell you." ”
Jing Yi looked up at him.
"You won't be able to go back to Peking in the short term." Tao Xiang said.
Jingyi didn't say a word.
It seemed like every time she tried to get out of the weeds, she would seal him up. Enter, enter; Retreat, retreat.
"You should know that just as the Beiping government used to send representatives to the central government, Nanjing now also requires representatives to be sent there. I don't say that you know the way here. In fact, if you want to say who goes, I am more suitable. Tao Xiang looked into Jing Yi's eyes.
Jingyi understood and asked, "Still let the second brother go?" ”
That's what Father meant. I consulted with my second brother, and my second brother also felt that it would be more appropriate for him to go. In terms of connections, communication, and wrists, my second brother is stronger than me. Besides......" Tao Xiang paused.
"Second sister-in-law?" Jingyi asked.
Tao Xiang did not answer.
"I see." Jingyi said. She looked at Tao Xiang quietly for a while, "I didn't expect anything else. ”
Tao Xiang saw Zhang's mother come in to deliver breakfast, so she got up.
Before he went out, he saw Jingyi sitting on the bed in a daze, and Zhang's mother set the table for her, and she just nodded, not looking like she had any appetite at all......
Although Jingyi was uncertain, she still coped with the rituals of the Tao family during the Lantern Festival. Even if the matter of Yamei and Tao Si is not openly publicized, everything that should be known in the house is also known. On this night, everyone in the family was a little uncomfortable drinking and feasting. Not to mention the parties involved. During the banquet, Tao Shengchuan announced in front of the whole family that Tao Si would be stationed in Nanjing. Although Mrs. Tao said that she was reluctant to leave home again, this is called official business, and since it has been decided, no one can stop it. Yamei didn't show her attitude in public. Later, Jingyi knew that Yamei still insisted on taking her daughter back to Beiping first.
When Jingyi looked at the fireworks in the courtyard like a spring scene, she asked Yamei: "Second sister-in-law, Nanjing, are you still going?" ”
Tao Si and Tao Xiang, one carrying a serene on his shoulder, and the other carrying a unicorn on his shoulder, were playing with dripping gold. Brilliant fireworks surrounded them, and the drops of gold in their hands were like strings of flowing fire falling from the sky. The beauty of this scene is like a phantom.
Yamei climbed Jingyi's shoulder and said, "Let me think about it." Whether I go or not, I'll tell you. ”
Jingyi said after a while: "Second sister-in-law, maybe it's better to take Cersei out for a while." ”
"Good idea. I'd like to take Cersey to Europe. Where she used to study, take her for a walk. My father meant the same thing. Yamei smiled, and there was inevitably a little stunned in her conversation. It's a pity that I can't walk with you. But when I returned to Beiping, I went to visit Aunt Cheng and Aunt Wei. If you have anything to bring, just tell me and I'll relay it to you. ”
Jingyi nodded.
"After I'm gone, you're here, be careful everywhere." Yamei reminded Jingyi.
