Chapter 12: A Scroll of Paintings (15)
Tao Xiang waved his hand to get on the car. Shu Xuan
As soon as the door closed, the driver immediately drove the car.
Zhishen's face turned from red to black, and he glared fiercely at Zhiluan beside him. Zhiluan was not afraid, and walked into the door first.
Cheng Dafu saw that this was already the case, and reminded him cautiously on the side: "Let's go in and report to the lord and Mrs. quickly." β
Zhishen was furious, and the resentment that had been pent up for a long time all came up. He lifted his robe, shook it off, and strode up the steps.
β¦β¦
"I'm sorry." Jingyi said. Knowing that she is so willful and has endless troubles, she just can't control it.
"Jingyi, you're sad, but have you thought about it? Father could be more sad? Tao Xiang asked Ling.
Jingyi hugged the urn.
Today, she personally packed her mother's ashes......
The car suddenly braked suddenly, Jingyi was caught off guard, and the whole person hit the seat in front of her, but fortunately, Tao Xiang reacted quickly enough, hurriedly surrounded her, and only raised her eyes to look ahead. The driver hurriedly turned around, looked at him with a straight face, and said, "I'm sorry, Qishao." β
Tao Xiang saw that his face turned white and frowned.
"Don't blame him. Seven less, look. Ma Xingjian, who was sitting in front, said, pointing ahead.
A Japanese ronin in front of the car, holding a wine jar in one hand and pounding the front cover of the car with the other, scolded and scolded. Ma Xingjian understands Japanese, and when he heard the ronin's scolding, he looked at Tao Xiang and waited for his instructions.
Tao Xiang snorted and said, "Drive over." β
"Yes." The driver heard this and restarted the car.
The Japanese ronin is not one, maybe he is used to being unbridled in this area on weekdays, seeing that the car was not frightened, but after retreating for a while, he accelerated towards them, and saw that the momentum was not good, and hurriedly scattered to dodge. After the car drove over, the wine jar caught up and almost smashed into the car, and a drunken scolding came out, which made people even more annoyed.
"I really don't know how the mayor of Beiping became the mayor, could it be that even Commander Duan has become good-tempered? Gangsters are rampant in the streets, and the police commissioner is still in his place? Tao Xiang said nonchalantly, looking at Jingyi. Jingyi shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine.
"The Japanese were rampant in the Northeast for not a day or two, and they were quite restrained in Beiping, and they did not cause any major incidents." The driver whispered.
"It's too late to cause a big deal." Tao Xiang looked at the wide streets in Beiping City and snorted again.
Although Jingyi was in grief, she could still understand Tao Xiang's mood at this time, and she must be a little resentful. The street demonstrations that day were triggered by the banditry of this island nation. They have experienced it firsthand.
When she got out of the car, Tao Xiang took the urn from her hand.
She refused at first.
Tao Xiang said a word and asked her to let go.
He said, "You are uncertain, don't let your mother fall." β
Her legs were weak, and she almost fell to the ground immediately, and she watched Tao Xiang walk steadily in front and walked into the gate of Yiyuan. She looked up at the tall gatehouse of Yi Yuan...... Actually, when my mother married my father, she should have entered the door here, right?
Her vision was a little blurry.
When I went in, I saw that my mother was being enshrined in the hall, and Tao Xiang was offering incense.
She used to stand beside Tao Xiang and knelt down to kowtow together.
She fell on her knees on the futon......
Tao Xiang instructed Qiu Wei to take good care of Jingyi.
He went out and made a call to Cheng Shiyun.
Jingyi heard him talking on the phone, her voice was neither high nor low, and she didn't mean to avoid her. She shrunk back and leaned against the head of the bed, looking at Tao Xiang's side face from a long distance...... He looked back as he put down the phone, as if looking at her. After only a moment's pause, someone from outside came in, whispered for a while, and then he left.
"Miss, let's sleep for a while." Qiu Wei came in from outside and wrung a hot towel to wipe her face. Jing Yi's silent appearance looks very scary. She was a little frightened. "Uncle let me tell you that he has something to do, and he will come back at most half the point."
Jingyi took the towel and covered her face.
Qiu Wei didn't dare to say anything more, and sat down on the edge of the bed. Worried about Jingyi again, and thinking about the benefits of Wanyi, I couldn't help but sobble and cry...... After a long time, a hand reached over and placed it on her shoulder. Qiu Wei hurriedly wiped her tears, looked back at Jingyi Ren although she was lying, but looked at her, reached out to wipe her tears, and tears poured out again, "Miss, I'm uncomfortable......"
Jing Yi rubbed the back of Qiu Wei's chin and said, "Go out and see who's coming." I'd love to sleep, but I'm afraid I can't. She had been staying up like this for days, and her eyes were dry and painful.
Before the words fell, I heard someone knock on the door outside and said, "Miss Ten, the ninth young master is here, please go ahead of Miss Ten." β
Qiu Wei was stunned, looking at Jingyi, she forgot to get up and open the door.
Jing Yi stood up and said, "Got it." β
She didn't hesitate in the slightest, nor did she deliberately tidy herself up, just put on her shoes and walked out of the bedroom.
Before she went out, she looked back at the bedroomβit was still the newlywed cave, a fiery red, and even the beaded bottle, only one remained, and it was still there alone, as if the gunfire on the wedding night had not gone away...... But in just a few months, it's a sea of life.
She finally lost the most important person......
Jingyi came to the main hall and saw Zhi Shen standing in the door, offering incense.
She walked in, looked at Zhi Shen and saluted, and turned to look at her, her gaze more complicated than ever.
She didn't call him Brother Nine like in the past.
Zhishen didn't want to talk to her more here, the purpose of his visit was to bring Wanwei's ashes back to the Cheng family's mansion.
Jingyi knew the meaning of Shen Shen, and she said, "No." β
Zhishen said loudly: "Don't let your aunt be at peace! β
"I am her daughter, follow me, she will not be restless." Jingyi said.
Zhi was extremely cautious, and he was not verbose at the moment, and shouted: "Come on!" β
He came here with Bao Ye and many members of the Cheng family.
Jingyi turned around and blocked the door and said, "Could it be that if you are here, you are going to rob it?" β
"Miss Ten, we act on the orders of our master. Please don't embarrass us Miss Ten. And to say something that shouldn't be said, Miss Ten, the second wife has done her best for the Cheng family all her life, Miss is like this, the second wife has a lot of knowledge, and it is time to be sad. Bao Ye said.
Still ripples don't move. Bao Ye is an old family, and she has always respected Bao Ye. He has a point in saying this. But she also had her insistence and could not heed such advice.
"Miss Ten, don't make the lord and wife sad." Bao Ye said again.
Jingyi still refused to take a step back.
Backwards, and many times back; Sad, who else sadly lived her......
"Xiao Shi, you have made up your mind to let people see the Cheng family's jokes, right?" "I don't know why you got started like this, but I can't tolerate you going your own way." Come back with me, and you explain it to your father yourself. β
Just as Zhishen was about to give the order to take her back, Tao Xiang came in from outside. usually does not leave his left and right relatives, but at this time there is no one. But when he came in alone, no one dared to ignore him.
"Brother Jiu, your own family, let's not do this." Tao Xiang stood beside Jing Yi.
Zhishen looked at him and said, "Jingyi is enough to humiliate the Cheng family by doing this today. β
"Brother Jiu's words are serious. Jingyi is just reluctant to give up her aunt. She would never do anything that would disgrace the Cheng family. Tao Xiang intentionally or unintentionally blocked in front of Jingyi.
Cautious silence.
Tao Xiang turned around, looked at Jingyi, and said, "I'll accompany you back and talk to my father and mother." You can't bear your mother, and you have to agree with your father and mother. β
He didn't wait for Jingyi to answer him, and motioned for Qiu Wei to bring Jingyi's coat over.
"Brother Jiu, I will go back with Jingyi with you, and my father will be the master of the beating and punishment. Aunt is here, don't disturb the ancestors, how about it? He looked cautiously.
Zhishen didn't want to be embarrassed by Jingyi, but when he saw Tao Xiang say this, he rolled on the slope.
He endured it and asked Bao Ye to bring people, and they went first.
"I'll go back myself......" Jingyi said to Tao Xiang. Sooner or later, she had to face it, and she didn't want to run away. But for some reason, she didn't want Tao Xiang to go with her.
Tao Xiang looked at her and said, "I'll send you over." β
Her lips were bruised, and she was clearly trying her best to restrain herself, and if she continued like this, she didn't know what kind of trouble it would take......
There are still spirit flags hanging in front of the Cheng family's mansion, and snow-white lamps are floating in the wind.
Tao Xiang drove himself, turned into the house with the car in front of him, went around for a long time before stopping, and walked in through the back door of Tongyin Study.
Jing Yi followed Zhi Shen, and Tao Xiang walked behind her.
When she stood down in front of the bookstore, she found that Tao Xiang was no longer by her side...... She later learned that Tao Xiang should have been asked to recuse herself. Moreover, it is indeed inconvenient for him to be present.
"Father is in there." Zhishen said in a low voice.
Jing Yi raised her eyes and said, "I know." β
"Little Shi, don't make my father sad......" Zhi Shen said.
Jingyi bypassed him and pushed the door open.
Cheng Shiyun turned his back to them.
Jingyi has been accustomed to seeing her father's indifferent back like a cliff since she was a child, and there has never been a moment that makes her feel more cold and distant than at this time.
Cheng Shiyun turned around slowly, looked at Jingyi indifferently, and said, "You are so bold." β
Jingyi held her head high.
"Do you know that in addition to your mother, she is also my wife and the second wife of the Cheng family?" Cheng Shiyun asked.
"Now, she's just my mother. After she is with me, no one will dare to disrespect her, humiliate her with her identity, and no one will take advantage of her anymore. β
"What did you say?"
Jingyi looked at her father and said, "No one is taking advantage of her." β
