"What's that?" The fourth wife asked. As if listening to the play, he was fascinated, staring at him and only looking at Wuji.

"A shot of 'bang' - it's time to stop cooking." Wujian spread his hands and gestured, "How scary, such a big pool of blood." It's so big, it's so big...... When Yi'er told me, I was almost scared! ”

A room full of women sighing and screaming.

Du Shi waved the fan in his hand and said, "Oh yo, oh yo, it's time to eat, but it's really bad to say this." ”

"But isn't it, I just don't want you to be upset, Yi'er said that I can't come back and mention it. But it's not okay not to mention it, let's be sad together, so that you don't have to worry about me taking Yi'er out, and I don't know where I went. Isn't it, Aunt Hong? Wuji looked at the third wife with a grin.

The third lady was also calm, and said, "I think it's a little strange, but I ask in vain." In the end, you still have to be more careful when entering and exiting the girl's house. It's not that I said, these days, Zhiluan Zhifeng, I don't worry about letting them out. She said, smiling slightly, and gave Wan Wei a special look.

Wujian heard this, and was just about to pick it up, but Jingyi pulled her hand, and a cup of tea was handed to her, she saw Jingyi's calm eyes in a blink of an eye, and when she reached the tip of her tongue, she turned around and returned the same way.

Jingyi poured another cup of tea and handed it to Wanwei. Seeing Wan Wei take a sip of tea, she sat up right.

"What about the car, what happened to it?" Duch asked.

"Fortunately, I was lucky to meet a kind person who pulled the car out of the mud puddle for us." Innocent said with a smile.

Jing Yi thought of the "kind man" and nodded vigorously.

Seeing her childishness at this time, Wujian wanted to laugh.

"Then I have to thank them." Wan Wei said.

"People won't even tell their names. But we made a note of the license plate. Jingyi replied. She said to look at Innocent, and Innocent smiled at her.

"Oops, that's good. I have to thank them. It's inevitable that you'll encounter a little bit when you're away from home. Fortunately, you and Yi'er are both children who have ideas in trouble. I couldn't be more relieved that the two of you would go out together. Du Shi smiled and said, "Come, the dishes are ready, eat first." ”

Du Shi stood up first and led the way to the table.

Jingyi saw the girls and mothers-in-law come up to serve and clean their hands, and she told Du Shi that she wanted to change her clothes. Du Shi raised his eyes and saw Qiu Wei waiting there, and said with a smile: "Go, let's come and eat when it's changed." I should have been hungry a long time ago. ”

Jingyi left the table.

The clean dress Qiu Wei brought her was quite cumbersome to wear. In the past, she was most impatient to wear such cumbersome clothes, but today she is extremely patient.

Seeing that she was silent, Qiu Wei whispered, "Miss, aren't you happy?" When she came in, she heard the words of the third lady.

Jingyi shook her head.

She didn't fall into the second place, and saw that her mother was holding on and refusing to show a little strangeness, and her heart was mixed.

She looked through the fan at the laughter and harmony in the room, and her mother's thin back was particularly striking - the black skirt still looked cold in the summer, and her mother's skin was extremely white, and she did not bask in the sun all year round, as if she was full of blue...... The thin and rugged body bones, in her eyes at this time, are extremely distressing. Especially when he was with the third wife in the fiery red dress.

This kind of day, even if it is as good as cooking oil and icing on the cake, she doesn't want to live it.

She would rather live a peaceful life with her beloved.

Xu felt her gaze, and Wan Wei turned his head.

Jingyi settled down and smiled at Wan Wei.

"Miss, this is when I first came in, someone was sent in at the door. said that the driver of the Zhao family asked to present this face to Miss Ten. Qiu Wei said.

"Oh. I'll take a look. Jingyi stood down, took it and opened it, it was a license plate number. She folded the letter and said, "I'll use my wife's phone." ”

She dialed the phone immediately. Zhishen happened to be at home, so she asked him to help check the owner of the license plate number. Zhi Shen agreed. She just went in and sat down.

Unsullied asked in a low voice, "Why have you been around for so long?" ”

"I asked Brother Jiu to help and asked his classmates who worked in the traffic department to check the car number." Jingyi said, pointing to her sleeve. The piece of paper with the license plate number on it was stuffed in the sleeve.

Wujian was sandwiching a large prawn, and when he heard Jingyi say this, the shrimp fell from the tip of the chopsticks and rolled on the ground, "What? ”

The maid hurriedly picked it up.

Jingyi scooped another spoonful of shrimp for her and put it on the plate, saying, "Mother knows that you love to eat, and she has prepared it for you." ”

Wujian took his chopsticks and flicked the shrimp in the dial.

Jingyi glanced at Wuzhi and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Wujian put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat, and said, "Didn't I say, I'll talk about it later?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”

Jingyi didn't make a sound. Secretly, I felt that something was wrong.

When lunch was over, everyone dispersed one after another, and when Jingyi sent Wujian out, the sisters had a chance to talk alone.

"What the hell is going on? Third cousin, didn't you already know who that person was? Jingyi asked.

Wujian nodded and said, "I will know that day." However, at first, it was inconvenient to talk to you, and then I didn't know how to tell you, so I delayed. ”

Jingyi frowned and asked, "What is this called?" What about the second cousin, does she also know? ”

"Yes." Wujian fanned the wind with his hand, pulled Jingyi to the side, and said, "I should have told you too." ”

"Who are you so taboo-avoidant?" Jingyi asked. There is no time to be calm, and there is no time to be impatient, but they have always had something to say to her.

"It's Tao Xiang. When we see you in the future, thank him in person. "Innocent said.

Jingyi looked at the innocent.

For some reason, she wasn't so surprised.

**********

It rained for two days in a row.

Jingyi stood at the fence and watched the rain hit the lotus leaves. The lotus leaf fields are green in color washed by the rain for days, and the cracks on the leaves seem to have been washed out by the rain.

Jingyi's legs were sore, so he sat down on the stone bench. It was a little cold, so Qiu Wei went in and brought her a mat. She sat down, still distracted.

Early in the morning, I came cautiously.

He came to visit Wan Wei, who had been uncomfortable for days, and told Jingyi that the car number she asked him to check that day had been found, and it was the car under the name of Tao Si of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ning Hall.

Jingyi thanked for her caution. Zhishen asked her how she got this car number. Tao Si is a member of the Tao Department in Beijing. She briefly recounted the two times in a row when she was in distress on the street. Zhishen changed color while listening, and sighed: Shouldn't you talk to your mother, Yang and she took you to the temple to worship, how did you go out and bump into evil things, and why is it the Tao family......

Jingyi silently watched the sudden rain for a while, and said, this is probably what should be encountered, no matter what.

It was about to see that she was depressed, and Zhishen said that if she was particularly worried, he would inquire about Dai Mengyuan again.

Zhishen is gone, and Jingyi is still thinking about Zhishen's words. Yes, why is it the Tao family...... She looked at the water droplets that were gurgling down from the lotus leaves, and fell into the pond, and in an instant they disappeared into nothing...... Receiving favors from others should not be treated as if it did not happen - but how is this good for her?

She stretched out her hand and took the rain that flowed down from the eaves, cold and cold......

Wan Wei saw Jing Yi sitting motionless for a long time from the window, and asked Cui Xi to close the window.

"As soon as I got out of the ambush, it was cold on a rainy day." She deliberately added a long vest today.

Cui Xi closed the window and asked her if she wanted to burn a charcoal basin.

The apricot house is near the water, and when it rains, there is some cold invading, which is cooler than elsewhere.

"No, I don't. In July and August, we used charcoal pots, and no one said that we were squeamish. Wan Wei lowered her head and continued to embroider the picture of the baby. Most of it has been embroidered. She looked at it from afar. Because I put more effort into it than other embroiderers, I also think that this is a very beautiful and quite passable work. Thinking about the purpose of this baby play again, she smiled slightly.

Cui Xi saw it and said with a smile: "You have also put twelve points of thought into this account, and the young lady should like it a lot." Maybe the young lady likes it, and she also likes it herself, and embroiders a little. ”

Wan Wei smiled: "You don't know about her? You can ask her to do anything, even if she bandages cats and dogs, just like that, she really can't pick up the needle and thread. ”

Cui Xi chuckled.

Wan Wei sighed and said, "She, it's not stupid to say that she is stupid, how can she teach it?" I don't think I have time to learn how to make sweaters, it's really ingenious, and I can do it at a point. Wujian said that he didn't like this, and he picked up a needle to weave a scarf, and he just said that he would come, and there was only Yi'er. ”

Wan Wei is telling the truth. Jingyi doesn't know why, the female red is always a little hot. I can't teach it since I was a child, and the sewing needle is slower than others. Later, when I read a book, I became short-sighted, and when the doctor said don't get tired, I didn't move the horizontal needle and didn't take the vertical line. So when the third wife talks about it, she also likes to laugh at her like this - her old seven and eight are no longer angry, the needlework is really good, according to the old saying, girls pay attention to virtue and speech...... Jing Yi is almost here. Even if she indulges and dotes on her mother, she feels that this is a little regret.

"You say, if my uncle's clothes are missing buttons and threads in the future, will it be difficult for the girl to sew them every time? Even if people don't laugh at it in person, it's a new thing to talk about it behind their backs. Besides, it's not like that, is it? Wan Wei frowned slightly, "It is said that they learn Western medicine and also need stitches, how is Yi'er treated?" Can't you let people help? ”

"How can sewing flesh and sewing these things be confused?" Jing Yi heard it outside and couldn't help laughing. When she came in, she stretched out her hand when she saw the picture of the baby embroidered by her mother.

Wan Wei's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly protected it, saying, "Wash your hands." Wash it and touch it again. ”

Jingyi went to wash her hands as she said, and Cui Xi wanted to bring her a hand balm, but Wan Wei refused to let her, saying, "Don't get those, and then stick it on the silk." ”

"Mother, you are too ......" Jingyi rubbed her hands and said.

"Too what?" Wan Wei spread the tent on the bed and said, "Don't let that smell smoke my things." ”

"What's your stuff? Isn't it mine? Jingyi deliberately rubbed over and leaned over to look at the picture of the baby embroidered on the big red silk. Mother's embroidery was good, but this time it was very attentive; And the mother has another advantage over others, that is, the mother can write and draw, and her drawings are drawn by herself, which is more novel and unique - for example, this baby play picture, Zhenge'er can draw a hundred fat dolls with different appearances, with fat dolls with different expressions, and decorations that complement each other, or take books, or fly kites, or hold carp...... It's as interesting as if you're looking at a comic book - Jing Yi looked at it and couldn't help but praise, "Mother, how do you think about it!" It's for me, it's for me, right? ”

"Who said it was for you?" Wan Wei deliberately kept a straight face, "The big girl's family, don't be ashamed." ”

"It's not for me, is it possible that you have another daughter? Still is...... Mother, you want to give me another brother? Jingyi climbed Wanyi's neck and said with a smile.

Wan Wei reacted, reached over with a finger and poked the corner of Jing Yi's forehead, and said, "It's getting more and more shapeless." I said, I really shouldn't listen to your father, let you go to the foreign school to study Western medicine, where are you still like a young lady from the mansion? It's not even as good as ordinary girls. ”

Jing Yi protected her forehead, seeing her mother's face pink, she only felt that it was simply glamorous, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

She wondered how old her mother was this year, and although she had just said it was a joke, her mother might not be able to give birth to a younger brother to her...... It's a pity that after so many years, she doesn't understand, and she also knows that her mother's boudoir is lonely and lonely, and this pain must not be enough for outsiders.

Wan Wei only focused on looking at her works, not wanting Jing Yi to be silent for a long time, just feeling strange, when she turned her head and saw Jing Yi's appearance, she was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's the matter?" How's it okay just now? ”

Jingyi is not a sentimental child. Her eyes are often red at every turn, and it's been a recent thing.

Wan Wei understands in her heart, but she just doesn't say it. Although Du Shi mentioned Jingyi's matter to the master, he was rejected by the master in person, and blamed them for conniving at Jingyi. Du Shi told her privately that he was afraid that when the Tao family came to visit in a few days, the marriage between the two families should be officially decided. It's not that she is unwilling to marry Jingyi to the son of the Tao family, but Jingyi ......
