Chapter 11: The Sand of Reality (6)

I couldn't tell if she was worried, and the white vapor she exhaled was only a few inches away as she spoke. Shu Yu Shirt

The fireworks are at their highest tide, and the sky is full of brilliant fireworks, warm and cold......

"There will never be more than friends," he said. ”

Jingyi wrapped herself in her pajamas.

Fireworks were sent into the air intensively, and the explosion was so dense that people were breathless, and most of the city was illuminated by colorful light...... She looked at the layers of roofs in the Tao family's mansion, and the waves on the sea seemed to rush towards people,...... Finally, when all the fireworks disappeared into the sky, only the silver moonlight concubine remained on the silent roof.

Tao Xiang closed the window, put the teacup on the small round table, and when he turned to go out of the room, he said, "Good night." ”

He said and closed the door.

Jingyi was still leaning against the window and looked at the door for a while.

The arm-thick red candle on the table was lit just right, and there was no candle tears on the candle, clean and dignified.

She walked over, took a small pair of scissors, and trimmed the wick again, when another red candle burst into flames...... She looked at the wick for a moment, and then went to turn off the light, and the room went dark.

She put away all the bits and pieces that fell on the ground.

She was left alone on the large marital bed.

She lay peacefully on the bed, occupying only her side. When she realized that she could have the big bed that she had been comfortable from the first time she had been lying down all night, she moved it to the middle. The quilt was thick, and she pulled her chin high. Twisting comfortably and comfortably, he almost sank into the bed. She looked at the bed tent, the one her mother had prepared for her, but she didn't know how to use it on this Western-style bed. As soon as she thought of this, she felt that the Chinese bed, which would dim once it fell into the tent, also had its good ...... She fell asleep in a daze. As soon as he rolled over, his head and neck landed between two large pillows. Something hard down there, smacked her.

In a chaotic way, she reached over and pushed, then rolled over and continued to sleep.

She didn't sleep well that night, until she woke up in the morning, and kept dreaming.

In the dream, there was a mother, a father, and a Taoxiang, and they alternated in the dream, saying things she didn't understand at all, which made her anxious...... When she opened her eyes, she still felt sour.

Hearing the knock on the door, it was Qiu Wei who was telling her to get up.

Before she went to open the door, she touched the pillow under it.

When you touch it, you know it's a cold iron object, and when you take it out, you can see that it's a brand new revolver.

She held it in her hand for a moment, then pulled open the drawer on the bedside table and put it inside.

Qiu Wei came in and said that her uncle had returned, looked at her, and didn't say anything else.

Jingyi looked at Qiu Wei with a clear face, thinking that at this moment, everyone in this courtyard probably already knew the deeds of the groom leaving last night, but she didn't want to explain, even if Qiu Wei was a personal girl brought by her mother's family.

"Zhang's mother said that it is late at dawn here, and they all have the habit of getting up late. Families don't get out of bed until nine o'clock. It's just that Miss is a bride, so she can't help but get up early......" Qiu Wei reminded Jingyi of some things to do today.

Jingyi changed her clothes and went downstairs, and Tao Xiang was already sitting in the restaurant reading the newspaper.

But at seven o'clock in the morning, when it was still dark and the lights in the dining room were bright, he looked up at her, his eyes still on the newspaper, and said, "Let's go to grandma and mother together." ”

"Okay." Of course, she knew this. The Tao family sounds like there are many rules, but it is not more than the Cheng family.

"The third brother and sister-in-law will fly to Nanjing early tomorrow morning." Tao Xiang reminded Jingyi.

Jing Yi looked at him and didn't speak for a while.

Tao Xiang saw that she was completely left behind, and continued: "There are many people here who want to set up a banquet for him to see him off. The third brother said that this trip was not for this, and he didn't see any of those people. I want to get together with us alone before I leave. If you don't have any other opinions, let's have dinner together at Tongshi Hutong tonight. ”

Jingyi lowered her head.

Zhang's mother had already set up the breakfast and reminded her to drink the ginseng soup first, saying that it was the old lady's order, "In addition, the old lady said that she wanted the young grandmother to take one pill of her own preparation every morning and evening." It has been prepared, and the old lady will have someone send it once every half a month, and ask the young grandmother to remember to take medicine. ”

Jingyi heard that she wanted to take medicine, and her heart was already beating a drum.

All she needed was a bowl of white porridge to eat.

"Look at the arrangement." She said.

"In addition, there is a ball in the small auditorium of the headquarters tomorrow night, which is specially held for the pilots who have come to attend the wedding, and I hope you can attend." Tao Xiang said.

Jingyi nodded.

Tao Xiang put the newspaper aside, and ate an early meal unhurriedly, and when it was time for him to drink coffee, her bowl of white porridge was only half eaten.

"I'm not at home a lot these days. Call me for something and go to the headquarters. 3 lines to find me. Tao Xiang confessed.

He took a sip of his coffee.

Jingyi glanced at him and nodded. And didn't ask him where he was going. He didn't explain either.

"Okay." She replied. There shouldn't be anything particularly urgent, and I don't have to call him to disturb him.

She thought that this was very normal, and she didn't want to go to Mrs. Tao, but the old lady immediately stopped her when she heard it.

"You're newly married, and you can't be empty for the first month." Old Madam Tao said with a smile, but her tone was unquestionable.

At this time, there were many people gathered in her room, and several old aunts and grandmothers were also there, and they were all echoing her words. Tao Xiang and Jing Yi stood in the middle of the room, as if they were surrounded by them. Tao Xiang was not in a hurry to refute, and Jingyi simply remained silent - knowing that it was useless to say more.

Tao Shengchun said: "But isn't it, you don't know this old rule, old seven." How can a room be empty in the first month of marriage? The New Year is over in a few days, and it's a newlywed, so what's the wrong thing to postpone and spend the night in the barracks? In the past, even if the bride went back to her parents' house, she had to rush back before dark. She said and looked at Jingyi. Jingyi never spoke after coming in, and was looked at by her and smiled at her. Tao Shengchun smiled and said: "I know it's not your fault, it's all the old seven moths." Old Seven, isn't it? ”

Tao Xiao was glared at by her aunt, smiled, and said, "Auntie, you don't have to keep this old rule." Besides, the two of us aren't actually ......."

"Don't talk about that, just start last night." Tao Yinqing, the fourth aunt and grandmother who was teasing Mrs. Tao's sleeve monkey, said without raising her head, "The old saying has been said for so many years, there must be the truth of the old saying." Why do the old people keep the etiquette, and it doesn't work when they come to you? Only then did she glance back at Tao Xiang and his wife, as if she was smiling, and finally looked at Jingyi.

Jingyi was looked at by Tao Yinqing like this, and did not make a sound.

"What the hell is there about you that you have to do it for a while?" Tao Yinrun suddenly interjected and asked, and his words were not so polite.

Tao Xiang still smiled, and said, "Then since that's the case, it's a big deal that I just run one more trip every day." ”

As if waiting for his words, Mrs. Tao smiled and nodded, and said, "Come on, don't make rules here, take your daughter-in-law to your mother's place, wait for you...... Jingyi, when the seventh child is not at home, you can eat with me. ”

"Yes, Grandma." Jingyi agreed.

Tao Xiang glanced at her before going out with her.

When they left, Tao Shengchun said to his mother with a smile: "Mother, you really love the seventh daughter-in-law." ”

"I'm looking forward to holding another great-grandson soon, what's Ann's kindness?" Tao Inze snorted.

Mrs. Tao smoked a hookah and ignored anyone's words.

Tao Yinrun laughed and said, "Have you seen the face of the seventh daughter-in-law?" They weren't allowed to leave the room, and her face was getting dark. It's really a shame for our seventh talent, is it so difficult for her? ”

Old Madam Tao snorted and looked at it with disgust.

"Yes, poking my sister-in-law's heart again? Don't you say it's not enough? Tao Yinrun smiled and waved his hand, and said something else. It's nothing more than that the New Year is approaching, calculating how to celebrate the New Year. The women in a room from Mrs. Tao to Er Yi Wenpei, not to mention, are full of interest when it comes to new clothes for the New Year, New Year's money, playing cards at home and going out to watch plays......

Over there, Jingyi and Tao Xiang went to Tao Shengchuan and his wife to say goodbye, and were told by Mrs. Tao that Tao Shengchuan and his second son Tao Si had gone out early in the morning.

Jingyi saw that Mrs. Tao hadn't had breakfast yet, so she helped set the table with Yamei. When she left her nurse and walked around in front of her mother and aunt, laughing and screaming, Mrs. Tao's big room immediately became full of activity. Mrs. Tao looked at the laughter in the hall, and the new bride and daughter were also happy in her heart, but her face was faint, and it was not obvious.

Tao Xiang asked where his father and second brother had gone.

"Wasn't that last night?" Mrs. Tao said lightly, taking Cersey's hand and letting them all take their seats.

Tao Xiang pondered for a moment and didn't ask again.

When his mother finished breakfast, he said goodbye and went out first, leaving Jingyi and Yamei in front of Mrs. Tao.

Mrs. Tao looked at Jingyi, who was pouring tea for her, and said, "There were originally many guests in the past two days, but they were close to the roots of the year, and they were all busy with the New Year, so there were a lot fewer people to socialize with us." It's better to be frugal with each other. I specially instructed Jingyi not to go out in the next few days. You're a newcomer, and there are a lot of people coming and going outside, so it's not good to be careless about what you collide with. ”

Jingyi served her tea, thought about it, and then replied to the two things that Tao Xiang had confessed, and said, "That's how he arranged it." If my mother thinks it's wrong, I'll talk to him. ”

Mrs. Tao took the teacup and looked at her, but said, "Since the seventh child has been arranged, the third young master and his wife are not outsiders. Besides, that's how it should have been arranged, so be it. It's the Spring Festival every two days, and there are a lot of things up and down, and I can't take care of you. Thinking that you are new here, it is a little lonely to let you eat alone. When the seventh child is not at home, you can go to the old lady to eat. I consulted with the old lady, and she agreed. ”

Yamei smiled: "Mother, grandma is rare to have any with her except for the eighth sister." It can be seen that Jingyi and her grandmother are particularly in love. Cersei and I are going too! She deliberately made a jealous appearance and smiled at Jingyi.

Mrs. Tao smiled first: "It's true that Jingyi fell in love with the old lady, and you kid also talk a lot." I often have headaches when I listen to it. I'm going to let you bother me here. ”

"Mother is also eccentric. It can be seen that there is a new arrival, and he doesn't want to see me. Yamei smiled.

Jing Yiwen smiled quietly and said softly: "Then I'll go back to my grandmother, can I go to my second sister-in-law to eat?" ”

"Okay, I'll give you the same food as Cersser." Yamei picked up Cersei and smiled.

"Yamei is right, it's rare for the old lady to take anyone with her. Jingyi served the old lady well. Be careful about everything, the old lady is old. Mrs. Tao said, looking at Jingyi with bright eyes.

"Yes." Jingyi and Yamei couldn't help but become more serious.

Soon the young grandmother also came to ask for peace, and then Ha Deguang and others came to Mrs. Tao to do something, and Mrs. Tao asked the young grandmother to listen by her side.

Yamei pulled Jingyi to retreat and feed Cersei next door.

The two of them could hear their voices in the middle of the room. In addition to the expenses of preparing for the wedding for several days, it is very cumbersome to prepare for the Spring Festival.

Jing Yi listened.

Mrs. Tao said very little, and her reply to the matter was also concise and to the point, probably because her usual style is like this, occasionally one or two people replied to the verbose, she did not interrupt, and listened patiently...... Jingyi thought that this was a different kind of steward than her mother-in-law Du Shi.

She looked up and looked outside, the figures were longing, one group finished talking, and another group came in, as if there was a steady stream.

Ha Deguang was just waiting for an inquiry, and when he met Mrs. Tao, he had something to ask, so he replied a few words.

"Usually, my mother is so busy only on the second and sixteenth days of the new year. Other times, I listened to the report of the general manager of Kazakhstan. The mother originally wanted her sister-in-law to take over the affairs of the family as soon as possible, and she was more relaxed. Yamei whispered.

Jingyi nodded.

"It's just that now my sister-in-law is rarely free." Yamei handed the small bowl to Cersei and asked her to eat the egg custard herself. She looked at Jing Yi's red eyes, suddenly laughed, and asked, "Didn't you sleep last night?" Look at your eyes are red. ”

"Nothing. I slept very well. Jing Yi said hurriedly. The handkerchief wiped the corners of his eyes.

Yamei chuckled and said, "You go and look in the mirror yourself...... As soon as she entered, her mother frowned. In the future, you can ......"

"Second sister-in-law!" Jing Yi looked at Cersei, and her face turned red involuntarily.
