Chapter 21: The Unruly Wind (1)
[Chapter 21: The Unruly Wind]
It had been raining heavily for a day, and finally stopped at 10 o'clock in the evening. 8 Tao Xiang didn't come back, but Mrs. Tao asked Jing Yi to take Qilin'er to Xuanrui Hall for dinner.
Jingyi cleaned up Qilin'er and took him to Xuanrui Hall.
Because of Fu Lizhen's matter, there are always clouds in the house these days.
Old Madam Tao has been talking a lot lately, and she is still happy to see Jingyi and Qilin'er. Jingyi saw that she was lazy and just ate a few bites of porridge, she really couldn't bear it, and her appetite was not good, seeing that Jin Xuan repeatedly persuaded the old lady to use a little more to no avail, she also put her chopsticks. Qilin'er was well-behaved, looking at them like this, and silently put down the chopsticks.
Old Madam Tao saw that they were uncomfortable and said, "I called you here so that you can eat well." Why do you eat less than I do? ”
"Grandma," Jingyi smiled, "let's eat a little more." Or what does grandma want to eat, let the kitchen cook a little more? She said, motioning for Qilin'er to eat well. Qilin'er nodded silently, looked at the old lady, and continued to eat the rice hazel in his bowl.
Old Madam Tao shook her head, looked at Qilin'er, and said softly, "I don't have an appetite." ”
Jingyi thought for a while and said, "Grandma still wants to eat lychee meat?" ”
"You did it on my birthday?" Old Madam Tao suddenly laughed and asked.
Jingyi asked softly, "Then does grandma still want to eat?" It's not hard to do. ”
"That's good. I've heard that you let Brother Xiang try it several times before you made it. Old Madam Tao asked.
"Yes." Jingyi admits to being a doctor.
"I'm fine eating. Please make a little bit for me. Mrs. Tao smiled and motioned for Jingyi to eat more.
Jingyi shook her head and said, "I've already eaten." ”
Mrs. Tao knew how much she ate, and she no longer forced her to eat more. 8 After Jingyi took care of Qilin'er and finished eating, he got up. instructed Jin Xuan to take Qilin'er to wash.
Jingyi hugged her, and when she looked down and saw that under the sleeves of her wide robe, the skin and flesh on her arms were actually relaxed, and she couldn't help but be shocked, and look at her again, but in a few days, she is much older...... Jing Yi clenched her hand unconsciously.
Old Madam Tao turned her eyes to look at her and shouted, "Jingyi? ”
"Yes, Grandma." Jingyi helped her sit down and stood aside.
"Something?" Old Madam Tao asked her to sit beside her.
Jingyi sat down and shook her head.
Mrs. Tao smiled. Chen's mother brought her hookah, and Jingyi helped her stuff the tobacco and light it.
Snoring, sweet smoke curling ...... Jingyi thought of Tao Yinze and said, "Grandma, I'll go see my aunt later." I'll make it tomorrow, and if you want it to be delicious, I'll bring it to my grandmother and aunt. Tomorrow evening, the family will hold a banquet to entertain Mr. and Mrs. Fontaine, and there are plays that grandma and aunt love to watch, so I can nourish my spirits today. ”
Mrs. Tao said "good".
For a while, the room was quiet and only the two of them, and even the old lady Tao's sleeve monkey curled up on the silk cushion beside her and fell asleep. They didn't speak for a long time, and they heard the faint sound of Jin Xuan and Qilin'er talking inside, and occasionally Jin Xuan's low laughter. The laughter, though fleeting, was a bit abrupt. Jing Yi felt harsh when she heard this, and her brows furrowed slightly. But when you think about it, it's relieved that not all people have to be shrouded in clouds; Even if it were, it wasn't destined to go on like this forever......
"These days I have been born to you. Your mother is not happy today, and she can't get up. I told her to take a break and take a breath. Mrs. Tao said.
Jing Yi answered. She had visited Mrs. Tao first, and Ke'er said that she was asleep, and she had only looked outside and left. She knew that her mother-in-law had to be competitive, and if she hadn't been able to hold on, she wouldn't have done so.
"Although I sometimes inevitably blame her, I also know that it has not been easy for her in the Tao family for many years. It's hard for her...... She treats Lao Qi sincerely after all. It's not biological, it's better than biological. Lao Qi respects her, and you will also honor her in the future. Old Madam Tao said in a low voice.
Jing Yi answered yes again.
After Mrs. Tao finished speaking, she seemed to be distracted, and she was silent for a long time. Jingyi didn't speak either. She noticed that Old Madam Tao's tone was very deep, which made her heart feel like something was pressing.
"Healing?" Old Madam Tao raised her eyes and looked at Jing Yi, her eyes were very gentle, and she reached over and brushed the hair on Jing Yi's forehead. She could see that Jing Yi was not wearing a hairpin, and the small hair curls fell on her forehead at random, covering the redness and swelling in that place. "Lin'er's temperament is quite uncertain, and she has to be well educated in the future. After all, he is the grandson of the Tao family, and it is very inappropriate for him to go on like this with his temperament. ”
Jingyi said softly: "Lin'er is still young after all, the eldest brother is very strict in raising Lin'er, Lin'er must have a great future." ”
"It's okay to be big, like his father and uncles, just don't leave." Old Madam Tao was stunned for a while, "It's that Li'er, where did you never do anything out of the ordinary when you were a child." Their brothers have also been ridiculous. ”
Jingyi's heart was stabbed, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.
"I think you know a little bit about it, too. It's all in the past, don't take it personally. I heard that the child of the Fu family was gone last night. Old Madam Tao said in a low voice.
Jing Yi was holding a folding fan in her hand, and when she heard this, the folding fan almost fell. She quickly closed the fan and placed it on her hand. The long fan tassel shook under the jade pendant.
It's already expected news, but it's still very touching.
Old Madam Tao stared at the fan and said in a low voice: "I've been thinking about it these days, and I'm relieved that you will always be by Lao Qi's side." Young couples, old companions...... Lao Qi just has a bad temperament. But what about a good character...... The things of the world are uncertain. ”
Jingyi lowered her head, feeling more and more sad.
"Grandma, ......," she wanted to ask, but she couldn't speak. It seems that he has seen a heavy black curtain, and he can't tear it apart. She could only lift it up little by little, but she didn't dare to look at it. So as soon as the hand is released, the little bit that is lifted will hang down heavily, and everything will be covered again, maybe in this life, it will not be lifted again...... She grabbed the fan spike. Steady, a little bit good.
"Go ahead." Mrs. Tao said.
Jingyi looked up for a long time, but saw the face of the old grandmother, like a jade Guanyin statue, with a faint layer of soft light. So for all the stubborn and hopeless sounds of her simple words, there is still a strange strength that makes her firm.
Before Jingyi took Qilin'er out of the house, she instructed Jin Xuan a few words.
Her voice was very soft, and Mrs. Tao was inside, looking at her through the translucent bamboo curtain, slowly leaning on the pillow, and her shoulders moved, it was the sleeve monkey who was naughtily grabbing her earrings...... Mrs. Tao caught the sleeved monkey and let it sit on her lap, watching its flexible eyes roll around.
"Old lady, Grandma Seven is gone." Jin Xuan came in and said.
