Chapter 13: Clouds That Are Easy to Gather and Disperse (2)
Jing Yi was a little cramped by him, but fortunately he sat down and talked with Mrs. Tao. She watched her grandparents and grandchildren chatting happily as seemingly inconsequential...... He was always so gentle in his grandmother's presence.
Inexplicably, it makes people feel like a cat basking in the sun......
"Jingyi, is it hot?" Mrs. Tao asked.
Jing Yi hurriedly shook her head.
"Look at your blushing face." Old Madam Tao smiled and looked at Qiu Wei, "It's hot, look at your master with your heart, don't let her eat ice things." I just told you in vain, and you can't be cold when you take medicine, and you can't prepare for a moment of greed......"
She said that she wanted to leave, but she told Jing Yiyi.
Jingyi and Tao Xiang sent her out.
The courtyard was full of greenery, sheltered from the scorching sun. Jingyi hadn't come out for a long time, and suddenly the dazzling sunlight was shining, and she was a little uncomfortable.
After only walking a few steps, Mrs. Tao took Tao Xiang's hand and asked Jingyi to go back quickly.
"If the sky is good, I come every day, and when I see the rules of the sky, I can't stand it. Qiu Wei, help your master quickly. Old Madam Tao saw that Jingyi finally walked away obediently, and then turned around with satisfaction, and glanced at Tao Xiang who was following her.
Tao Xiang saw that his grandmother just looked at him and asked, "Grandma, what did I do badly?" ”
Walking to the bottom of the steps, Mrs. Tao lifted her skirt. After Chen's mother took the umbrella and Jin Xuan Yinxuan stepped out first, they waited by the sedan chair. She said, "You will also say that you are not doing well." ”
Tao Xiang saw that his grandmother's words were not without a reason, so he smiled and waited for the following.
Old Madam Tao turned around and looked inside the gate of Langyuan. Unlike other courtyards, Langyuan has no shadow walls, and only a few plum trees are used to slightly shade it - Jingyi has not gone far yet...... There was her narrow moon-white back among the sparse plum branches, and Mrs. Tao said, "It is indeed a silly child." It's okay, the only thing in this world is smart people, and being stupid is more blessed. ”
As she spoke, she deliberately looked at Tao Xiang.
Tao Xiang opened the sedan curtain with his own hands and invited his grandmother to sit on it.
When the curtain was about to be placed, Mrs. Tao raised her hand to cover it and said, "Don't let Jingyi go out these days." The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's finally getting a little better. ”
"She's got legs, Grandma. Besides, how can she be so squeamish. When Tao Xiang saw her grandmother say this, she finally laughed a little. I didn't dare to laugh insolently, knowing that my grandmother always had some double knocks today.
"Without a mother's child, no matter how squeamish you are, there is a limit. You are just careless. This is far worse than your eldest brother and second brother. Even they are limited, let alone you. Old Madam Tao frowned and waved him to let him put the curtain.
Tao Xiang instructed Chen's mother to let the sedan chair man walk more slowly.
Grandmother's cool little sedan chair slowly moved away, but stood there for a while. Turning around and entering the door, Jing Yi walked under the porch. There are only a few steps on this journey, is she actually moving three steps at a time?
Then he saw a big head dangling out of the room, white, and staggering out, and the master and servant did not know what they were talking about, and they had not yet found it......
Jingyi saw that Qiu Wei had an umbrella for her, so she said, "I don't want this." If you continue to sting like this, I'm afraid that everyone in this house will not be able to get used to me in a few days. ”
"What's so bad about that? Could it be that there is nothing else to do except chew the root of the tongue? If you have nothing to do, you will know that this life is not good, and that is un......lucky," Qiu Wei said, and her face sank.
Jing Yi listened to this, it must have come out of nowhere.
"You just love to go to your heart, don't you?" Jingyi looked at her tense little face and said slowly. "Are we the ones who can't be spoken?"
Qiu Wei felt even more aggrieved. looked at Jingyi's tranquil appearance, thinking that her young lady was like this, so she said, "Miss is sick, I don't want to tell Miss about this." But if it's anything else, I don't care...... Why do you say that we are unlucky? ”
Jingyi frowned.
"As soon as the young lady came, the second young master's family was robbed...... Within a few days of passing through the door, the family was not at peace. Things came out here and there, inside and out, and they never stopped...... It has only been a few days since the wedding, and the mother is gone...... Then I couldn't afford to be sick, and I don't know if it was tuberculosis...... Miss, if you don't get up and go out to show your face again, I'm afraid they will say something about begging for their uncle. Qiu Wei was angry, and the beads and lace hanging down from the umbrella were swaying.
Jingyi said: "It turned out to be these words. ”
Qiu Wei didn't say who "they" were, and she didn't want to ask.
Just taking a deep breath, the fresh air outside, mixed with the smell of earth and flowers and trees, made her feel comfortable.
Qiu Wei saw that she was unmoved, stayed for a moment, smiled again, and said, "It's good that Miss has a good heart." I can't see it. I feel strange, why is it that Miss has been sick these days, and our hospital is so deserted. Caozhu whispered to me. Zhang's mother also knew, so she warned her not to talk nonsense. If the eldest young grandmother hadn't come with the old lady today, Young Master Sun would have been no longer allowed to come close to our yard......" Qiu Wei's voice became lower and lower.
Jingyi smiled and nodded.
She expected it.
"Miss, are you tired?" Qiu Wei asked Jingyi. Although her face is white, it is not ugly. "It's hard to come down, do you want to go and sit in the backyard for a while? It's quiet and the sun is good. The former aunt came back and asked Adjutant Tu to just install a set of tables and chairs on the terrace, which is very beautiful...... Miss go and see? ”
Jingyi saw what she said lively, so she didn't object.
She and Qiu Wei went around the stone path to the backyard.
At this time, the flowers and trees in the backyard have grown, and the begonias in Xifu are in full bloom, and the pink ones are very good-looking.
These are just these, Jingyi likes the newly placed tables and chairs under the porch very much. It's even more comfortable to sit on. Qiu Wei saw that she liked it, and wanted to take a blanket to cover her legs, but she didn't let her, saying, "Just bask in the sun." ”
"Yes, Miss's face is too bad." Qiu Wei smiled. She took her umbrella and stood aside.
Jingyi leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the flowers and trees in this garden, full of life. She didn't know that this disease not only failed the spring, but even the summer had come...... She thought that last summer, she was still a carefree and idle girl, and the big things she saw were just a storm in a teacup. Mother is here, everything is there.
"Miss, sad again." Qiu Wei saw that there were tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but whisper.
Jingyi wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "How can there be." ”
Looking down at himself in plain clothes, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Miss, do you want something to eat? The old lady brought a snack today, a peony cake. Chen's mother did it. Zhang's mother said that Chen's mother has a hand in making dim sum. Especially peony cakes. I'm bringing some more today, and that's all I have to say this year's fresh flowers. Said it's because the peony flowers are not blooming well this year, I don't know what's wrong. Qiu Wei said, grinning and pointing to her round cheeks, "Miss, you don't eat much of these, and you cheapen me every time." You see, you're skinny, I'm going to be fat piggy. ”
Jing Yi looked at her, and sure enough, her face was much rounder than before, and she was tanned black and red, and she couldn't help laughing, and said, "I don't think much about eating, you go and get me a letterbox." ”
In the past month or so, she has only let Qiu Wei receive the letters, and she has not opened a single one.
"Do you want to see the letter, what do you bother to do?" Qiu Wei said.
"Go ahead. There's nothing to do when you're idle anyway. Jingyi said.
Qiu Wei left.
There was no quiet wind, but it was dry and warm.
"Young grandma, tea is here."
Jingyi was alarmed, glanced at the maid serving tea, a girl who was round and jade, and asked, "Are you Yue'er?" ”
"Yes." Yue'er was looked at by her, shyly pursed her lips and smiled, a little cramped. "Sister Qiuwei said that the young grandmother is here, let me bring the refreshments."
Jingyi took a look, it was a peony cake.
A hint of turmeric and a faint aroma. It is a sweet peony floral fragrance.
"All right?" Jingyi asked Yue'er.
"Grandma Xie. It's all good. Yue'er realized that Jingyi was concerned about her condition, and hurriedly replied, "If there is anything young grandma, just tell me to do it." ”
"Nothing at the moment. Go ahead. Jingyi said gently.
Yue'er was about to retreat, she remembered and asked, "Why don't you see the grass beads?" ”
"Caozhu hasn't been doing well in the past two days." Yue'er said, her face flushed again.
Jingyi thought that it was probably the girl's fault, so she didn't ask in detail, but just let her go. After sitting there and drinking a cup of tea, Qiu Wei didn't come out to deliver a letter to her. She just sat like that, and she was tired. Gradually, she was a little confused, and she wanted to sleep on the chair...... there was a soft "pop" sound, Jingyi opened her eyes, and found Tao Xiao sitting next to her. Her letter box was placed on the small table.
She was stunned, wanted to move, but didn't move.
Tao Xiao saw that she was frightened, and glanced at the small table, but she didn't move the refreshments.
"The sun is going down, it's going to be cold outside, sit for a while and go up." He said.
The breeze was blowing, warm like a fire, and she wondered how it could be cold.
Tao Xiang saw her lower eyes, but didn't look at him, but only reached out to get a peony cake...... The bread was thin and small, and when it was broken, fine crumbs fell and stuck to the skirt. She frowned slightly, took the handkerchief and brushed it gently, the gold-inlaid jade chain dangled on her wrist, a faint little golden light, flashing, flashing...... She raised her eyes and looked at him.
"Miss Fu's birthday, what should I send?" She asked.
