"You're not hot and confused, you don't have a problem with Miss Ten if you hit a child! In the past, the old lady also said that if it weren't for the closer blood relationship and the fact that the age was much worse, it would be difficult to wronged Miss Ten, and it would be good to give Miss Ten to you as a daughter-in-law. Shu Yan, how old are you at that moment, anyway, you know that you are ashamed......" The driver Lao Zhao said with a smile.

"Let's ...... How many times have we ever done this? How come I don't remember? Zhao Zongqing took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from the ends of his hair, and asked with a smile.

"You forget, it was also summer, when I ate ice cores, Miss Ten was four or five years old, my uncle and wife brought her to play in our house, she finished eating her own ice cores and grabbed your bowl, and she couldn't grab it, she went to find the third young master again, but the third young master slapped her away, afraid that she would cry, so you gave her a good temper to give her a bowl. At that moment, the old lady, the wife, and the uncle's wife were all there, and they said that. Mrs. Uncle didn't say anything, but Miss Ten's mother said that it wouldn't work, and she would mess up the rules again. ”

"Really...... She loves to eat ice cores. Zhao Zongqing said with a smile. He really didn't remember that. What did Aunt Wei say? It's exactly like what Aunt Wei said. It's like the Jingyi taught by the aunt, it's that kind of gentle and quiet appearance - but now he has seen this girl's stubbornness again. This stubborn temper and stubborn fiery are more like uncles.

He smiled.

"I was just thinking that if there was a girl who looked like Jingyi, it would be very good-looking." He said. After many years of marriage, his wife has not been able to give him a child, which is somewhat regrettable.

"Young Master, you, this is not enough. But who knows, maybe there will be Ming'er? Isn't that happy? As the old saying goes, blessings are waited for, not robbed. Do you say? Lao Zhao said with a smile.

Zhao Zongqing also smiled, and saw that he was about to get home in front of him, so he didn't say anything.

He's going to have to figure out how to deal with this now!

As usual, where did he go first to know that he hadn't gone to the upper room to say goodbye when he got home, and the servant saw him and shouted: "Young Master, Young Master, telephone." ”

Zhao Zongqing was upset, and when he heard such a hurried shout, he couldn't help but lose his breath, so he stopped and asked: "This still makes people idle and not idle!" Where did it come from? ”

"Chengfu phone. It's my uncle looking for you. I just thought you were in the yamen, but I didn't want you to come back, but my uncle said to call you back as soon as you got home......"

Zhao Zongqing chuckled in his heart, maternal uncle...... When he mentioned his old uncle, he was stunned.

I don't know if Jingyi has arrived home safely?

He and his party were worried, so they quickly turned back and went to their room......

Jingyi arrived at the back door unharmed, and when she got out of the car, she was just about to say something to Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi said: "Miss Ten, go back quickly, I didn't suffer any grievances, and I smoked two cigarettes at the police station, don't ......worry about it," he said, urging. It was two hours behind the estimated time. I don't think it's anything when the summer days are long, but the sun is also setting. "I'm going to drive the car back, you're a fool. Be careful. ”

Jingyi was no longer verbose, she trotted to the back door and gently pushed the door.

The door was shut.

She calmed down, knocked twice, paused, and knocked twice.

There was no movement inside.

She was in a hurry and wanted to knock again, when the door was gently knocked from the inside, and again.

She suddenly felt a little relieved, knocked twice in a row, and said, "Brother Jiu, it's me." ”

The door latch inside rang, and she looked back to see that Cheng Xi had already driven out of the alley.

As soon as the door opened, she flashed in, patted her chest and said, "Ouch, I'm worried about death...... Trihi?! Her surprise was not trivial.

Cui Xi grabbed Jingyi and whispered, "Follow me, Miss." ”

Jing Yi's heart almost jumped out of her mouth.

Cui Xi pulled her, walked briskly with her head down, and didn't say a word.

She took Jingyi to the more hidden paths. The garden of Qingwangfu is a garden built in the late Ming Dynasty, which has survived the war and is extremely deep. Jing Yi gradually felt cold in the shade. I don't know if it's because of the shade or because of the restlessness.

Cui Xi glanced back at her, but her steps did not slow down at all.

Finally out of the garden gate, I saw that it was the back door of the apricot house, and I saw a few sedan chairs swaying in front of me. Seeing this, Cui Xi hurriedly pushed Jingyi into the back door of Xinglu before they found out about themselves and Jingyi. Closing the door, Cui Xi sighed, wrapped her arms around her and said, "My young lady, you can come back." Mrs. Angry's heartache is committed! ”

Jingyi's face changed, and she threw off Cuixi and ran.

"Mother!" She ran to Wan Wei's door and shouted.

The people inside opened the curtain, and when she saw it, she was so cautious that she knew that something was really bad now.

Sure enough, before she could stand firmly, she heard her mother say, "Come over to me!" ”

"Mother!" "Aunt Kou!" Zhishen and Jingyi saw that her face was like gold paper in an instant, and hurried over.

Wan Wei was sitting on the chair, and when she saw Jing Yi, she was so angry that her hands trembled.

She was a very gentle person, her temperament was partial and strong, and her daughter came back dirty, and she couldn't help but be angry when she thought about her situation outside. I was blocked in my chest in one breath, and I couldn't say anything......

"Mother!" Jingyi didn't see her mother being angry like this, she was stunned. She stepped forward to take her mother's hand.

Wan Wei pointed to the ground and said to Jingyi, "You kneel down for me." ”

Jingyi knelt down.

Seeing this, Zhishen was at a loss, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, I said that it was mine today, and they all complained about me, and they were lazy, so let Xiao Shi go out and buy something for me...... Xiao Shi hasn't been out for a long time......"

"Lao Jiu, there is something about you here, but I don't blame you. It's all Jingyi, this girl! I can see it, Jingyi, your usual filial piety is fake. It's really real, didn't you take your mother and me in your eyes...... Look, you're lying and naughty in front of me! ”

"Mother!" Jingyi wanted to argue, but Wan Wei waved her hand again to stop it.

Wan Wei turned her head to look at Zhi Shen, and took a few deep breaths before saying, "Lao Jiu, you go back first." I have something to say to Jingyi alone. ”

"Auntie, don't be angry first, speak slowly, you also listen to Xiao Shi talk about her thoughts......" Zhishen was sweating profusely. He had never seen Wan Wei move so much.

"Okay, I'll listen. Lao Jiu, I know you love Jingyi, but don't indulge her. To indulge her at this time is to harm her. Wan Wei was cautious and polite.

She has always loved Prudence. Seeing Wan Wei's sudden change of color, Zhi Shen felt uncomfortable, but when he saw Jing Yi kneeling on the ground, he still had to say, "Auntie, listen to me......"

"I don't listen to anyone else today, just listen to Jingyi. Old Nine? You're not listening to me anymore? Wan Wei's hand holding the handkerchief was clasped on the arm of the chair, looking cautiously.

"Auntie, look at what you said, where can it be?" Seeing Wanyu's calm face, Zhi Shen understood that this concubine was really angry, and it was definitely not a joke. Usually his mother taught strictly, and his brothers and sisters always respected the mother-in-law, especially this one. At the moment, he didn't dare to speak too much for Jingyi, but reluctantly said, "You dissipate your anger, auntie." I'll go first, and I'll come back tomorrow to greet you. ”

"There you go." Wan Wei said.

Zhi Shen withdrew.

Jingyi only heard the sound of the curtain, and Zhishen's footsteps seemed to disappear when he went out. She lowered her head, not daring to look up at Wanwei.

"You look up." Wan Wei said. She was already a little calmer, her face was very cold, she looked at her daughter, and asked, "Say, where have you been today?" What are you doing? ”

Jingyi was about to open her mouth, but Wan Wei said again: "What you say is the truth, if you want to lie, don't open your mouth." ”

"I'm going to see Meng Yuan." Jingyi said.

It seemed that the block blocked in her chest was removed in an instant, and her worried heart was put down at this time. She looked at her mother's face, knowing that her mother would be even more angry when she heard it, but she still spoke up. To her mother, she could not and did not want to continue lying.

Wan Wei really didn't say a word for a long time, she just stared at her daughter—she seemed to suddenly realize that her daughter had grown up. The eldest girl of eighteen or nineteen years has been studying alone away from home for several years, although every few months she returns to Peking from Shanghai, and she notices subtle changes in her. The daughter is slowly getting rid of her girlhood, and she is becoming more gentle and quiet day by day, and her beauty is amazing. But she never saw her as an adult, because she was her daughter after all.

Now that Jingyi is facing each other, she is saying a man's name to her, and this kind of shock, which is both expected and unexpected, still makes her have to re-examine her daughter. And she also began to regret it, she didn't expect Jingyi to be sure of her intentions, and her attitude was so crisp and resolute. She almost saw what was going to happen: Jingyi would be like a moth to a fire, standing on the opposite side of the family...... Wan Wei only felt a kind of weakness and powerlessness from the depths of her heart.

"Tell me what kind of person he is." Wan Wei said. Just a few days ago, she didn't think she would ask her daughter what kind of person she was. Because no matter what kind of person it is, it will eventually be a shadow that spreads like a cloud. She knew the result all too well. Especially at the insistence of the husband, the marriage contract with the Tao family cannot be revoked.

Jingyi took two steps on her knees and said, "Mother, he is a very good person......
