Tao Xiang took the telegram and looked at it, it turned out that his father had informed him that the wedding agreed with the Cheng family would be held on the ninth day of the next month. After Shu Zhijaw went back, the wedding will be held, and the time will be twenty-six.

It's close to the root of the year.

I think that the northwest is already icy and snowy at this time, and although it is cold in Beiping, after all, they are two things.

The telegram was placed on the table by him, and he sat silently for a while, and when he saw Cheng Da'an still standing on the side, he said, "The day is set on the ninth day of the lunar month." ”

When Cheng Da'an heard this, his face was full of joy, and he said, "Congratulations to my uncle." Seeing that the day is coming, I have to arrange everything urgently, and if I don't have a good number of things, it won't look good. Uncle, rest assured, the people I arranged are all old people, and they must handle the marriage beautifully. If my uncle doesn't have anything else to do, I'll go down first. Say"

Cheng Da'an went down after a thousand strokes.

Tao Xiang glanced at Cen Gaoying, expecting that he still had a telegram to present, and sure enough, Secretary Cen had two more secret telegrams delivered to him.

Tao Xiang looked at it, squinted his eyes, slapped it on the table with a "snap", stood up, and said, "Give me the phone number of the city defense headquarters." Drag"

Secretary Cen saw that his face was sinking or something, and hurriedly went to ask for a phone.

Tao Xiang picked up the telegram again and read it twice.

……

Jingyi waited for Tao Xiang to leave, still standing in the corridor.

Tu Huyi saw that Jingyi's face was ugly, and said cautiously: "Miss Ten, I'll stay outside." Whatever is commanded. ”

Jingyi said: "Thank you for your hard work." "I really think that Tao Xiang's arrangement is too much. Thinking about his actions in the car, it was as if someone was plotting against them everywhere...... Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of Gu He, and couldn't help frowning.

"It should." Tu Huyi said, looking at Jingyi with his eyebrows locked, as if he was angry with Qi Shao. He took a step back.

Jing Yi opened the heavy brocade box in his hand, and it turned out to be a half-moon-shaped Tianhuang seal. She took it out and saw that the small seal engraved in the shadow was the four characters "Cheng Jingyi Yin". The ripple characters of the three points of water seem to flow, and the conceptual layout and knife work are very good. She thought it should be for the wedding stamp, so he brought it to her in advance. I really didn't expect to prepare a new ...... for this Jing Yi touched the seal. It's a little astringent, it's cold, and the wax can't be dissolved.

"This is carved by the eldest young master himself. It's a circle with Qi Shao's piece. Tu Huyi saw Jingyi looking carefully and explained.

Jingyi put the seal away.

The eldest young master of the Tao family...... The second young Tao Si and the seventh young Tao Xiang are both well-known and thunderous names, but the Tao family has never heard of them.

Maybe it's because she never cared.

She nodded to Tu Huyi and turned back to the ward.

Wan Wei was still sitting below, and when she came in, she asked, "When you were taking pictures, did you have an awkward relationship with the Seventh Young Master?" ”

Jingyi was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know where her mother saw that something was wrong, and she looked at Qiu Wei in a blink of an eye.

Qiu Wei was also stunned by her, and hurriedly shook her head.

"What do you see Qiu Wei doing? No one needs to say it, I just need to look at your eyes. Wan Wei sighed and looked at Jing Yi, "The Seventh Young Master heard that I was sick, and he rushed over immediately, so you should be kind to this point." ”

"Mother, go to bed and lie down and rest. I'll check my body later...... I'm very tired," Jingyi didn't want to talk about this with her mother.

Wan Wei also knew her thoughts, and still finished speaking: "Seeing that you are about to get married, you are still like this, how can I rest assured?" ”

"My mother still said that I don't worry about me, and now my mother makes me feel uneasy." Jing Yi felt uncomfortable when she heard this, but a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Wait for the doctor to examine my mother properly, and I will talk about it after reading the results." If my mother is not good, I will not leave my mother's side......"

"If my mother is going to be bad all the time?" Wan Wei asked.

Jingyi blurted out: "Then I won't leave." ”

"Stupid words. Slowly, my body is not that weak. Even if you are, you don't have a reason to stay by my side all the time. Sooner or later, if you are someone else's person, how can you be so willful? Wanwei's voice was soft, and she always seemed a little tired.

Jingyi burrowed into Wanyi's arms. The cheeks were pressed against Wan Wei's body, as if he could hear the sound of his mother's heavy breathing. She closed her eyes, and the broken light of the gold thread plum blossoms embroidered on her mother's skirt pierced her eyes, "just willful ......"

Wan Wei laughed silently, stroked Jingyi's thick braids, and didn't speak for a while.

"Miss, let my wife go to bed and lean back, how tired it is to sit like this." Qiao's mother reminded on the side.

Jingyi raised her head, Wan Wei looked at her, and asked with a smile, "Are you only five years old?" is so coquettish, let people see, where does she look like a big girl who is about to go out? ”

"I ......" Jingyi couldn't help it, the sentence "I'm just reluctant to go out" couldn't say anything, just grabbed Wanyi's arm and wanted to help her to the hospital bed.

"What are you?" Wan Wei looked directly into Jing Yi's eyes and stood up.

Jingyi shook her head.

"You!" Wan Wei poked the corner of Jingyi's forehead, sat on the bed, pointed to the brocade box and said, "Bring that one to me and see what kind of good thing it is." ”

Jingyi gave her the brocade box as she said, and Wan Wei took it and opened it.

"The blade is sharp, and the foundation is profound. Whose hand is this? Wan Wei asked.

"I heard that it was carved by the eldest young master of the Tao family." Jingyi replied.

Wan Wei nodded and said, "It's not easy to have such talent and heart. ”

Jing Yi Nahan.

"I heard the master say that the eldest young master of the Tao family encountered something a few years ago, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and he was a person who had been sick for many years. Looking at this seal, he must have been healed with his sword freely. When you arrive at the Tao family, you will naturally know the beginning and end of these things, remember the knowledge, and don't ask what you shouldn't know. Wan Wei couldn't help but instruct Jingyi.

Jingyi nodded.

"Mother, I'll go out for a while." Jingyi set Wan Wei in place and said.

"Go ahead." Wan Wei smiled and said, "You don't have to guard me all the time. I'll think about what else I haven't brought with me later, you can go home and get it for me. Come back tomorrow morning. With Qiao's mother Cuixi serving here, you should rest assured. ”

Jingyi was about to say she didn't want to, but she was locked by her mother's gaze, so she had to agree first.

As soon as she went out, Wan Wei took a deep breath.

Cui Xi saw that she was depressed, and hurriedly stroked her chest.

Qiao's mother poured water for her and whispered, "Mrs. should be less careful." Looking at the appearance of the seventh young master, how will he embarrass Miss in the future...... Some things have to be done slowly. Miss is not ignorant, she understands what to do. It's just that I can't screw it for a while, and when I get married, after a long time, my mind will be on my uncle. ”

"That's it." Wan Wei showed his god and said, "If she is not sensible, it will be fine." It's so sensible, and I'm even more worried. ”

Qiao's mother said that Tao Xiang would not be embarrassed by Jingyi, which was what she was most worried about.

Jing Yi's temperament is stubborn, and Tao Xiang can see that he is also a golden stone. When the two strong meet, I don't know what kind of wolf smoke will be everywhere.

She asked Qiao's mother to put away the brocade box for Jingyi. After speaking, as if he was tired and didn't want to say another word, he leaned on the head of the bed and closed his eyes...... Qiao's mother came out of the ward with a basin of water, and suddenly saw Jingyi standing by the door, leaning against the wall, motionless, so frightened that she almost threw the basin.

Jing Yi pointed inside, making a gesture of silence.

Qiao's mother sighed and walked away with the water.

There was silence in the ward, presumably the mother was asleep. She couldn't hear a word of what her mother said just now, but her heart trembled for a while, as if it was not her mother who was sick this time, but her......

In the afternoon, the hospital gradually fell silent.

Jingyi accompanied Wan Wei to do various examinations. After sending Wanwei back to the ward, she went to Dr. Schneider's office for an hour.

Coming out of Dr. Shi's office, Jingyi went out for a walk in the garden.

Tu Huyi and Qiu Wei, who came with her, saw her solemn face, and they didn't dare to disturb her, just accompanied her.

The cold wind swept the snow and blew on the face, hurting like a knife. Jingyi didn't seem to realize it.

When she returned to the ward, she looked as usual. It's just that Wan Wei was very tired after the examination and fell asleep in the hospital bed.

Jingyi sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and Qiao's mother told her that her wife needed something and had to go home to get it.

In the evening, Jingyi went home.

She asked Tu Huyi to go back, but Huyi insisted on refusing.

She had also seen Tao Xiang's orders, and knew that her words were useless, so she followed him.

When he returned home, he first reported Wanwei's illness to Du's family. When Du Shi heard that it was not serious, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Jingyi to rest at home at night and visit her in the hospital early tomorrow morning.

Jingyi was not at ease in the end, and wanted to return to Xinglu to prepare all the things Wanyi wanted, so she was ready to return to the hospital immediately to accompany the bed.

While looking for a pair of grates that her mother needed, she found the papers she had hidden in the stationery box. It's two marriage letters.

One is old, one is new.

The old one was made of silk, pale yellow in the light, with fine patterns.

There is the father's name, and next to it there is the mother's name. On a certain day, Cheng Shiyun married Feng Wanwei as a concubine, and wished Yongdun reconciliation from now on...... Yunyun.

The marriage book is neatly folded, and it is warm and a little astringent to the touch.

Jingyi recognized her father's handwriting.

The other is an engagement paperwork, but it belongs to her and Tao Xiang.

On the thick paper, it was written in turn: "Tao Xiang, a native of Lanzhou, Gansu, was born on September 16, the 27th year of Guangxu; Cheng Jingyi, a native of Beiping, April 20, 34th year of Guangxu...... "The documents are also neatly stacked, and they are clean." With the movement of light, a faint silver floral pattern appeared on the paper, which was an auspicious peony flower, which was so clean that people couldn't bear to touch it, for fear that it would be broken if the strength was great.

Jingyi put two marriage books 20 years apart in one place.

"Sir."

Jingyi heard Dong's mother's voice outside, and hurriedly stuffed the marriage book back into the box. Before he could go out to greet him, Cheng Shiyun had already come in.

Cheng Shiyun was a little surprised to see Jingyi here, and asked, "Did you go to the hospital to see your mother?" ”

Jingyi nodded.

Cheng Shiyun sat down on the south kang.

The coldness of his body has not yet receded.

Jingyi took the tea from Dong's mother and served, saying, "The doctor has checked it for my mother." There are several test results that will not be available until tomorrow. Does my father want to talk to the doctor? ”

She stood still, waiting for her father's reaction.

Cheng Shiyun put the tea bowl in his hand, took a break, and said, "I'll go to the hospital tomorrow." ”

Jing Yi's heart was sour and warm, and she turned her face.

Cheng Shiyun asked, "What were you looking at just now?" His gaze fell on the kang table.

"It's nothing ......" Jingyi regretted opening the stationery box at the moment, as if she saw something that shouldn't be seen.

And, obviously, this small Huanghuali stationery box evokes some memories of my father. He looked at the stationery box and fell silent.

Jingyi wanted to step forward and put away the stationery box, but Cheng Shiyun waved his hand to stop her.

He opened the stationery box and was silent for a while.

Jingyi silently packed up her things, picked up her baggage, and said, "Father, I have to go back to the hospital." It was too late and the ward was locked. ”

Cheng Shiyun nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”

Jingyi took two steps, and when she looked back, her father was still sitting like that, and his eyes did not leave the old marriage letter.

"It's not too early. Let it send you there. Cheng Shiyun saw that Jingyi hadn't left yet, so he said. Jing Yi had a pair of water-cut eyes, very similar to Wanwei, and looked at him like this. It also seems to be like a curtain, although it is often silent, but it seems to have a thousand words. It's just that Jing Yi's eyes are a little cold in their gentleness at this time.

"There are four treasures, father. I'm leaving. Jingyi said. She lowered her head and bent her knees.

Cheng Shiyun said: "Go to the northwest, let Zhixi take someone to escort you." ”

Jingyi didn't expect her father to explain such a thing to her at this time, it was like being tripped up, she stood down again, endured it, didn't hold back, and asked, "Father, is this to let Zhixin escort me, or let Zhixin look at me?" Are you so worried? ”

"It's easier to have someone of your own by your side." Cheng Shiyun said.

Jingyi stood silently for a long time.

Mother is not there, and the house is cold. At this time, through the thick carpet, the green bricks below seemed to be icy, and the cold chill gradually climbed up against the soles of her feet.

She said: "Father, there is something that Jingyi has been in her heart for a long time, and she wants to ask her father. ”
