She closed the letterhead and crumpled it in her hand. 8 Hearing Tao Xiang instruct Zhang's mother to make coffee for him, I knew that he might have something to do at night. watched him take Qilin'er upstairs, and as soon as he walked up the stairs, he picked up Qilin'er and carried it on his shoulder, and soon ran upstairs.

Zhang's mother and the others saw that she was wet, but they didn't say anything. Just asked her what she needed, Qi Shao and Young Master Qilin waited for a while before using supper. Jingyi said no.

She went up to change her clothes, but Tao Xiang and Qilin'er were not seen in the bedroom.

Qiu Wei went to find clothes for her, she passed by the bathroom door, and heard the sound of water inside, and the laughter of Qilin'er, and occasionally Tao Xiao's deep voice, I don't know what she was talking about...... Qiu Wei called her, and she nodded.

When she went in to change her clothes, she was distracted and buttoned the wrong hazel several times.

Seeing this, Qiu Wei came over to help her, saw the ring on her hand, and asked in surprise, "Huh?" ”

Jingyi looked at it and didn't speak.

Qiu Wei said softly: "Look at this one, you won't lose it...... If you lose it again, you can't say it. Yi"

Jingyi glared at her. Qiu Wei grinned, shook Jingyi's changed dress, and grimaced at her. Jing Yi looked at her naughty appearance, her heart moved, and she asked softly, "Adjutant Tu is going to Qishan, do you know?" ”

Qiu Wei turned around, folded her clothes, and said, "Mother Zhang asked him tonight." ”

Jingyi didn't look at her either, took off the hairpins one by one in the mirror, put them on the platform, and said: "Qishan is far away from here, and if there is something in the future, I will go to the headquarters, and it will be difficult to meet." ”

Qiu Wei came over, took the hairpin and rubbed it with suede, carefully put it in the jewelry box, and still put it back on the shelf.

She didn't speak. It seems that he doesn't care about what Jingyi said at all. Listening to Tao Xiang and Qilin'er talking loudly outside, she knew that they had washed up, and she went out. Sure enough, Tao Xiang and Qilin'er have been washed cleanly. Qilin'er stood on the couch, crossed his feet to reach Tao Xiang, and the uncle and nephew wiped each other's hair and cooed. Seeing them come out, Qilin'er jumped down from the couch, ran over and raised her head and said, "Little auntie, I want to eat chocolate." ”

"It's so late......" Jingyi looked at Tao Xiang. He put the towel around his neck and came out smoking a cigarette, listening to her hesitate and raise his eyebrows. "Eat again tomorrow. Only one pill a day is allowed. Show my aunt if she has brushed her teeth well? ”

Qilin'er looked back at Tao Xiang and said, "Uncle Seventh said that you can wait until you finish eating chocolate and cake before brushing your teeth and going to sleep." ”

"I ate it tonight, and tomorrow's one will be gone." Jingyi said.

"My mother didn't allow me to eat before...... Now the little aunt is the same. Qilin'er blinked.

Jingyi looked at him, and suddenly didn't know what to say. She touched the little head of the unicorn. His wet hair was softer than usual. This cute boy with curly black hair...... Fortunately, Qilin'er was not stubborn at this time, and obediently followed her out to eat cake and drink milk. The white lion ran up early and waited there, and was cleaned up by Yue'er, although it was still wet, it looked much better. Sticking out his tongue and watching Qilin'er eat cake...... Qilin'er ate half of it and gave the remaining half to the white lion. Tao Xiang was very close to the two of them, and he only drank coffee. The white lion finished eating the unicorn cake, and Tao Xiang looked at him like that, and pointed to the piece in front of him with a cigarette. As soon as Qilin'er was happy, before he could take it, the white lion was much faster than him, tilted his head and took the cake into his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, he swallowed it. Tao Xiang made a gesture to kick the white lion. The white lion fell to the ground and rolled, and the unicorn pounced on it, leaning on the white lion's belly...... Jingyi watched, Wan'er.

"Ouch, Young Master Qilin, I just took a bath." Qiu Wei couldn't laugh or cry when she saw this.

Qilin'er didn't care, and still rolled with the white lion.

"Let them be naughty." Tao Xiang said.

Jingyi originally wanted to stop it, but hearing Tao Xiang say this, it's okay.

It is rare for Qilin'er to play so freely, and in the past few days, he has been uncertain until this time like a carefree eight or nine-year-old child should be.

When he was almost playing, Jingyi asked Qiu Wei to take him to wash his face and sleep first. Only she and Tao Xiang were silently opposite each other, sitting closer. Tao Xiang had already smoked several cigarettes, and the room was filled with a faint smell of smoke. Jingyi used to stop him from smoking less, but tonight he didn't. Tao Xiang, who smoked in silence, should have such a reason for him.

Jingyi pulled up the lid of the cigarette holder on the coffee table. Only a layer of cigarette bloomed in the chimney, like a white rose. She looked at the handwriting on the cigarette roll and flicked it lightly, and the golden light on her fingers spread out...... She asked softly, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

Tao Xiang snorted, his eyes fixed on her hand.

"Let's go, we can rest early." She said.

Tao Xiang put the remaining half of the cigarette on the ashtray. He raised his hand and brushed the curls of her forehead. The swelling at the corner of the forehead has subsided, but it is bruised. Jingyi pulled down his hand, still pulled the hair curls back, and said, "If Ming'er is seen by the second cousin...... If she asked, she would just say that she had fallen. ”

Tao Xiang shook her hand and said, "Flawless is closer to you than your own sister, how to say it, you can consider it." ”

Jingyi nodded, sent him to the side of the stairs, watched him go downstairs, and before he turned around, he saw Zhang's mother's figure appear, followed by a strong smell of medicine. She sighed helplessly......

When she went to take a shower, she accidentally saw fingerprints on her neck.

It was as if all of a sudden, the pair of cold hands were stuck on her neck again, and she had a little difficulty breathing.

I hurriedly held on to the edge of the bathtub and stood firm, and it took me a while to overcome my palpitations and discomfort......

In the evening of the next day, Jin Biquan and Zhao Wufeng accompanied the ambassador and his wife to Tao Mansion as guests. When visiting the pottery house, the ambassador and his wife specially stayed in Langyuan for half an hour. Mr. and Mrs. Fontaine showed a keen interest in this Western-style building that existed in the deep courtyard of the Tao family.

Although Zhao Wufang had come to Tao's house once, it was the first time he came to Jingyi's residence. She quietly asked Qiu Wei to take her up and down to inspect the field before sitting down, and finally said to Jingyi, "Look at this little life, it's okay." Jing Yi hadn't spoken yet, and Tao Xiang, who seemed to be listening intently to Mr. Fang Dan and Bi Quan's discussion about the few literary games in the study, turned his face slightly, and said, "If it's convenient for the second cousin, you can come and stay with Bi Quan's brother for two days." ”

Flawless said angrily: "I gasped before I said I was fat...... What's going on with that big white dog in the backyard? Seeing me open my bloody mouth, my legs were weak. ”

Jingyi whispered: "Actually, it's very well-behaved. Flawless said, "I'm still well-behaved, I don't dare to raise it", then remembered it and said, "Your photo is very good." The one that was sent to us at the time was not so interesting, and then I don't know where to put it and I can't find it. Anything else? Give me a few to take along. She looked at Tao Xiang and whispered to Jingyi: "I didn't want to see him before, and I didn't bother to pose for your group photo." Only put your single photo at home. ”

Jingyi also whispered, "I'm looking for you." ”

I clearly saw Tao Xiang's ears move, and knew that he must have heard it. Sure enough, when she invited Mr. and Mrs. Fontaine to go to dinner together, she saw Tao Xiang's face a little stiff.

Impeccable is found, too. But she didn't care. But I still can't help but want to laugh. Jingyi pulled her, and she really laughed. When Bi Quan asked, she told the truth.

"Well, because of you, your second cousin didn't abuse my ears less." Biquan also smiled.

Flawless nor denied, saying, "Long-winded." I just listened to a few words. ”

Jing Yi smiled, knowing that the two of them cared about herself and Tao Xiang.

was going to go to the front for dinner, and Jingyi brought Qilin'er.

The well-behaved and quiet Qilin'er looks particularly cute in a suit.

Madame Fontaine at first mistakenly thought that this was the son of Jingyi and Tao Xiang, but when she asked, she realized that it was not, and after saying a few words to Tao Xiang, Tao Xiang smiled. She asked Tao Xiang to translate to Jing Yi, and Tao Xiang said, "Madame Fontaine said that your son will be so beautiful." ”

Jingyi had no choice but to say "thank you".

When they got to the front, she was still blushing.

Flawless looked at her, and this time asked in a low voice that no one else could hear, "Is it okay now?" ”

Jingyi didn't speak.

Flawless looked at Qilin'er and said, "Think about having such a good-looking boy, seeing him every day, and he is beautiful enough." ”

Jingyi still didn't speak.

Flawless knew her temperament, so he changed the subject.

There were only two tables for the dinner. Because it was a family banquet, there were no outsiders, except for the Tao family, only Tao Shengchun and his wife arrived. After the dinner, the guests and hosts took a short break and moved to the Taofu Theater. At this time, two more guests came, the second master of the Pu family, who came to meet with the ambassador, and Xiao Dunhuang, who came to meet Tao Xiang. Pu Erye is familiar with the Tao family, but it is a bit surprising that Dunhuang appears here. Jingyi sat farther away and watched him and Tao Xiang sitting at the table next to him, drinking tea and talking about something. The play of the protagonist on the stage has not yet appeared, and the little martial artists who warmed up the scene flipped and moved their kung fu, but it was so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off it...... In the midst of this bustle, they were distracted from the conversation, which seemed a little unusual.

Tao Xiang noticed that Jing Yi was looking at them, and raised his eyes to look at them casually. Jing Yi nodded to him, and the flawless on the side pointed to tonight's play list and asked her, "It's rare for these three to be on the same stage." Last time on the big stage in Shanghai, Bao'er had a fever, and we couldn't make it, so the ticket gave a big favor...... How do you get it? ”

"I don't know much about the pastor's business." Jingyi also turned her face to Flawless and smiled.

Flawless paused, looked at her face, frowned suddenly, raised his hand and was about to touch the hair curls on Jing Yi's forehead, Jing Yi reacted very quickly, hurriedly took her hand, stuffed a piece of pine cake into her hand, and said, "Taste this...... Last night's cheesecake was delicious. ”

Flawless but unmoved, asked, "Why is there a wound on your face?" ”

Jing Yi's eyes signaled, and there was a unicorn sitting next to her. Flawless thought about it, it was inconvenient to ask, but he was full of doubts, frowned, and said: "If you don't say it when you go back, see if I spare you." Or should I ask him? ”

"Second cousin is really." Jing Yi said softly.

While they were talking, Qiu Wei came over and whispered a few words in Jing Yi's ear.

Jingyi looked at her and asked, "Fushun people are outside?" ”

Qiu Wei nodded and said, "Yes, wait." The eldest young master told him to talk to his wife. He said that his wife had just been angry with the eldest young master in Tan Yuan yesterday, and it would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire if he went to talk about it at this time. Ask Grandma Qishao to give me an idea. The eldest young master has been sick twice in the past two days......"

Jing Yi looked at Mrs. Tao, who was sitting in front of her, talking to Madame Fontaine, and Mrs. Tao next to her, and was embarrassed for a while.
