Chapter 11: The Sand of Reality (10)

Shards of glass and liquor splattered in all directions. Shu Yu Shirt

Jingyi was stunned and said, "I'm sorry." ”

She looked at the only remaining handle in her hand. I didn't use much force when I reached out, but for some reason I broke the cup.

"Broken peace." Suo Yanlin reacted the fastest and said with a smile.

Tao Xiang ordered someone to remove the table quickly, and Suo Yanlin took a handkerchief to wipe Jingyi's hands. Jing Yi lost the only remaining cup handle in her hand and smiled, "I'll do it myself." Yeon"

"Watch out for the splinters." Yan Lin reminded her. She saw Jingyi take the handkerchief and wipe the wine on her hand, and when she found that something was wrong, she pulled Jingyi's hand over, rolled up her sleeves and immediately found the bruises on her hands. One is against the other, and the two narrow and long are bruised. She stared at Jingyi.

"Squeezed by the door." Jingyi said calmly.

Tao Xiang and Zhichen frowned at the same time.

Especially Tao Xiang, he was just about to speak, Jing Yi turned his face and smiled at him: "It's okay...... If you dare to make a noise at home, my mother will punish me for kneeling. Her next words were to Zhi Chen.

Zhichen looked at her smiling eyes and said, "Aunt Wei is sometimes too strict with you. ”

"Now I can't even teach me a lesson." Jingyi straightened her sleeves.

The table was replaced again, and Jing Yi saw that they were all a little uncomfortable, but smiled and said, "This time it's my toast that doesn't know how to drink." ”

The wine glass in front of him was already filled with wine.

Jingyi took the cup in her hand and said, "I can neither drink nor speak...... This glass of wine, I respect the third brother and the third sister-in-law with Mu Zhi. ”

She put one hand on Tao Xiang's arm, smiled at him, and drank the wine very happily.

However, the meal began to feel awkward. She was the only one who kept laughing.

Tao Xiang had seen her amount of alcohol and knew that she was drinking because of it. He had no choice but to laugh with her...... Remind her that the third brother and sister-in-law are on the plane tomorrow morning, and it is best to let them go back to rest early.

After Yanlin got into the car, Zhichen stood outside and looked at his sister.

Tao Xiang stood a little farther away, knowing that their brother and sister needed to say a few words alone.

Zhichen put on his top hat and asked Jingyi, "What's the matter with the injury on your hand?" I'd rather like to know what kind of door would squeeze your hands like this. ”

Jingyi raised her eyes.

The third brother's face was very clear under the lamp in front of the door, only the eyebrows were obscured by the shadow cast by the brim of the top hat.

She sighed lightly and said, "I can't hide it from the third brother." The reason is inconvenient to explain to the third brother. The third brother doesn't have to worry too much, it's just a trivial matter, and I can deal with it. ”

Zhichen said: "If you need me, you can come to me at any time." ”

"For the time being, I can't think of anything else to trouble the third brother. There is only one thing, third brother, and I are now one with Muzhi. If he has something, I have something. Jing Yi was smiling, the corners of her mouth were upturned, and her smile was really beautiful...... She stretched out her arm, hugged Xia Zhichen, and said in a low voice, "Third brother, take care." ”

She retreated one step, bent over and waved at Yan Lin in the car, and then retreated a few steps back, although she was looking at it, the person had already stood in front of Tao Xiang.

Zhichen turned around and got into the car.

Jingyi didn't wait for the car to leave, and also turned around.

She heard someone shouting Qishao, but Tao Xiang didn't follow, and when she entered the door and turned around, she saw two people standing next to Tao Xiang. The figure was dark and dark, and she didn't recognize it, and she didn't want to recognize it......

When Tao Xiang entered, Jing Yi was pouring out the only little wine left in the bottle. Her hands were shaking, and she sprinkled some outside. She looked into the glass and drank the rest of the wine.

She hadn't actually eaten much tonight, and she was in a hurry to drink.

Tao Xiang didn't stop her. There was no wine left on the table for her to splurge.

Cong Dongsheng waited aside, and when the phone rang, he answered and asked Tao Xiang to listen.

It was Lu Qi who asked him about tomorrow night's ball, and Tao Xiang glanced at Jingyiβ€”she was still facing away from him, and said, "Of course I went...... Okay...... OK. Of course. He smiled and hung up.

Jingyi turned around, put on gloves, and said, "I can't go to the ball, I'm afraid you'll have to choose another dance partner to attend." My mother said that it was inconvenient for me to go out and see miscellaneous people these days. ”

Tao Xiang was noncommittal.

She thought that he didn't have to worry about not having a dance partner anyway, but she really didn't have to accompany him.

Cong Dongsheng asked the seventh master and the young grandmother whether they would stay or go back to the house tonight, Tao Xiang didn't answer, Jingyi said, "Go home." ”

Tao Xiao took her fur coat from the maid and opened it for her herself.

Jingyi looked at him, turned around and wore it, said "thank you", and walked out of the door first.

Cong Dongsheng said, "Send the seventh young master and the seventh young grandmother", she only heard the messy footsteps behind her, maybe it was the reason for drinking, and she was very upset......

When she returned home, Jingyi went upstairs and went back to her room. When she came out of the shower, she heard someone knocking on the doorβ€”she glanced at the door, and it turned out that she had inserted the latch when she came inβ€”and went to open the door, and it was Zhang's mother standing outside.

She came out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing that she was going to pour water, Zhang's mother hurriedly came over and poured a cup for her, saying, "Young grandma, the old lady called to ask if the young master and the young grandmother have returned." The old lady was playing cards with the old aunts and grandmothers, and there was supper. The young master and the young grandmother didn't go over to eat, she asked them to bring it. ”

Jingyi really felt hungry at this moment.

"What about the seven less?" She asked. When I came back, I didn't see Tao Xiang, and I don't know what he was busy with.

"Just now, Staff Officer Cen came with a few people to talk about things with the young master in the study. I didn't dare to bother. Zhang's mother said.

Jing Yi thought about it for a while, and then realized that Staff Officer Cen was Cen Gaoying.

It's only been a few days, and Cen Gaoying's identity has changed. She thought that it would probably not be convenient for her to go down and walk around at this time, so she asked Zhang's mother what the old lady's supper was. She estimated the number of people, picked up a few things and asked for them, and told Zhang's mother to send them to the study when they arrived.

"What does the young grandmother want?" Zhang's mother asked.

"Give me a bowl of peacock noodles." Jingyi couldn't remember what to eat for a while. Zhang's mother said that there were a bunch of things, and there was only this one left in her impression.

Zhang's mother went with a smile.

Jing Yi was stunned for a while, walked around the living room twice, and went upstairs to the small study to have a look. Qiu Wei had already sorted out all her books. There was nothing in the little study, and she didn't bring many books. The bookcases were empty. She looked at it and felt that the study room in Tao Xiang downstairs was really good...... It's a bit crowded, but when there's sun during the day, it's supposed to be warm. Even when there's no sun, it's better to sit by the fireplace and have a glass of wine......

She shook her head.

Must have drunk too much wine at night. Those glasses of wine kept her warm until now...... If she continues like this, I'm afraid she will become an alcoholic.

She sat down at the desk and flipped through the letterhead that had been placed on the table. The neatly stacked ones are all customized in Beiping. There are those she uses, and there are those that Tao Xiang. She flipped through her share and looked at the lamp. The paper has a fine texture and a delicate print. Look at the various brushes hanging on the pen stand on the table are all new, the inkstone is open, the ink is new, it has not yet been sharpened, and the inkwell next to it is also full, she filled the fountain pen and tried to write a few words on the letterhead. It's still very smooth.

She should have had a lot to say about the ups and downs of these days away from home, but when she picked up the pen, she felt that all the experiences were inconvenient to write in her letters home.

Jing Yi looked at the table lamp with the fine gauze bead spike cover on the table, and finally put down the pen after a while.

Qiu Wei knocked on the door and came in and brought her a decoction pill.

Seeing her writing a letter, Qiu Wei asked, "Miss's hand is injured like that, what kind of letter do you write, doesn't it hurt?" ”

She smelled the decoction and said, "I don't eat this." ”

Qiu Wei whispered: "It's all a big supplement......"

She raised her eyes to glance at Qiu Wei.

Qiu Wei stuck out the tip of her tongue and said, "Mother Zhang is amazing." ”

Jingyi folded the letter to her mother-in-law. My hand really hurts, and it's swollen and high. Qiu Wei tilted her head to look at her and said, "Mrs. always said that Miss wrote a letter to her family is those few things. Saying that she was fine, reporting her grades in school, and then asking her if she had taken her medicine on time. ”

Jing Yi glanced at the contents of the letter. That's really it. She picked up her pen and added a few more sentences, saying that although the weather here is cold, it is not as windy as in winter in Beiping. So the snow fell silently, and it was very beautiful. No wonder there is a sentence in Li Bai's poems "the desert is lonely and the smoke is straight". She looked forward to the day when her mother would come here to see such a strange view...... When she wrote about the inscription "Unfilial Daughter Jingyi Kowtowed", her nose was inexplicably sore.

Qiu Wei saw that she was sad, but she didn't dare to persuade her.

"What were you doing down there?" Jingyi asked.

"Madame asked me to send some more things to each room for the New Year. Zhang's mother and they couldn't be busy, so I went to help. Qiu Wei said.

"Hmm." Jingyi nodded.

"Flower lanterns are also available. Zhang's mother said that this is the Spring Festival, and when the Yuan Festival is held, there are more lights and it looks better. The Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the city is also very good. Qiu Wei said happily. Blink and look at Jingyi.

Jingyi said slowly: "If you think this is in our house, you will be specially asked to take a break from work to see the lanterns?" ”

"Zhang's mother said that the Tao family doesn't have this rule." Qiu Wei sighed. Twist the handkerchief.

"If you go out to watch a play, you can stop by to see the lanterns." Jingyi said.

"Really?" When Qiu Wei heard that she was going out to play, she was immediately happy. "When?"

"Look at you're in a hurry. It's not decided yet. But if they don't go out with a girl, I can't take you with me. Jingyi teased Qiu Wei. Seeing her pout, she smiled. Seeing that the bowl of tonic in her hand was already cold, she frowned slightly.
