Chapter 17: The Hidden Star (13)
Mother Song hurriedly said loudly: "Seventh Young Grandma is here." ”
There was silence in the room for a moment, and Tao Inze said, "Jingyi is here, come in." ”
Jingyi walked in after a while, and before she could go in, she smiled first, didn't look back, pushed Qiu Wei and asked her to wait outside, and said, "Wait for me here...... Auntie and grandmother are early, did you sleep well last night? Why do I feel that it's a little cold today, and the flowers still can't bloom. ”
Tao Inze was leaning on the bed, and her two younger sisters were guarding her bedside. She also looked at the Jingyi who came in from the outside-ultramarine skirt gown, a quiet and tranquil face, quietly like a picture of a walking lady...... She smiled and said, "I just said you should have been here a long time ago." Why is it so late today? ”
"I overslept." Jingyi smiled and wrinkled her nose.
Tao Inze saw it, couldn't help but reach out and pinch the tip of her round nose, and said to the two younger sisters: "This ghost girl is a little blessed, it's all on this nose...... I want to pinch it when I look at it. ”
Tao Yinqing originally seemed to be smiling, but when she saw her eldest sister teasing Jing Yi, she couldn't help laughing, looking at Jing Yi's red face and red nose, busy preparing injections, but also said, "If you are not here, who else is so dedicated?" He"
"That's right. My family did their best. It's not easy to find a good look...... The old lady of the Locke family had a good Japanese caretaker. However, I think Sheng Chuan hates the appearance of Japanese people very much, and may not be willing to let such people in and out of the house. But after thinking about it, you have to find a suitable one. You can't be tired Jingyi, isn't it, eldest sister? Tao Yinrun said.
Jingyi finished injecting Tao Yinze before saying, "Thank you aunt and grandmother for hurting me." It's not an idea that bothers me. It's better to take it slowly, and ask Dr. Ren to find a reliable person. But one day, my aunt and grandmother were pricked with needles, and I wouldn't give it to others. ”
Tao Inze looked at her and smiled.
Jingyi smiled at her as well.
I don't know when it began, there was a tacit understanding between her and her aunt and grandmother. She felt like her aunt knew what she was thinking......
The white parrot suddenly shouted, "Mother Song, serve tea!" ”
Jingyi laughed.
Tao Inze scolded with a smile: "This little cub ...... Mother Song, set the table. The old lady hasn't come back yet? It's been long enough to fast this time......"
"I went to visit yesterday, and my grandmother said she was coming back today." Jingyi helped her up, and Tao Yinrun came over to help.
"The pear blossoms are not blooming yet." Tao Inze sat at the table and sighed.
Sister Jingyi and Tao Yinqing both looked out the window.
"If I don't open it again, I'll have to go back." Jingyi said with a smile. This time, I was always uneasy. Maybe it's because of something on your mind.
"Brother Xiang has to go out again, and you will be imprisoned in the house when you go back, so it is better to stay here for a few more days." Tao Inze said.
"Eldest sister, then you have miscalculated this account. It's that the seventh child has to go out again, so it's better to let her go back. Or how many days will you not see each other? Tao Yinqing said solemnly and looked at Jingyi, "Jingyi, your third brother is really capable, and a good errand like quelling the rebellion is also sent to the seventh child." Why can't other good things be sent? ”
Jingyi was stunned.
The aunts and grandmothers of the Tao family often discussed political affairs in one place, and she was accustomed to it but never participated. She knew that they were dissatisfied with many of Nanjing's practices, but she did not expect to say it in front of her.
Tao Yinze just stared at the fourth sister, Tao Yinqing saw that Jingyi's face turned red, and he closed his mouth by drinking tea.
There was silence in the room.
"The wind is blowing, the sky is full of yellow sand, this pear blossom still doesn't bloom......" Tao Yinrun broke the silence.
Jingyi looked out the window again. But isn't it, just like that, the wind is strong, and the yellow sand is all over the sky...... The sandstorms in the spring are a bit scary, and maybe after a while, you won't be able to see anything clearly, right?
Sure enough, when she left Tao Yinze, the house was already in charge of the lamp. The sky was so dark and dark that it was impossible to tell if it was day or night.
Jingyi thought about her grandmother. In the end, let people go to the Taoist temple and ask. I learned that because of the bad weather, she stayed at the Taoist temple for another night to feel at ease.
On such a dusty day, the doors and windows were closed, and a layer of fine dust fell on the table, so I had to close the door.
Jingyi sat in front of the window and looked at the pear trees swaying in the wind in front of her...... How can the dust on the branches bloom?
She sighed.
The trees are like this, and the green grass in the courtyard next door is afraid that it will be buried by the sand......
"Miss, Mother Song came to pass the word, and my aunt said that the weather was not good, so you should not go there at night." Qiu Wei came in. As he spoke, he handed Jing Yi a hand warmer in her hand to warm her stomach. "Mama Zhang just boiled brown sugar water, and I'll bring it back."
Jingyi held the hand warmer, still looking outside, and said, "Okay." ”
She's also lazy. My stomach hurt like a knife.
"Miss, dinner is ready, have some food?" Qiu Wei asked.
"Let's put it on hold for now." Jingyi said. She didn't hear any more movement, she felt that something was wrong, and when she looked back, sure enough, Qiu Wei was standing there, "What's wrong?" ”
Qiu Wei shook her head.
Jing Yi was surprised, smiled, sat down, beckoned Qiu Wei over, and asked, "It's not that you don't know about me." It's just not very comfortable, and I don't have an appetite. By the way, what about that woolen scarf you knitted? Didn't you make up one last time? He also coaxed me to say that it was for me, but I don't know where it went. ”
"That's not for Miss." Qiu Wei sat at her feet.
Jing Yi teased Qiu Wei's earrings.
Thin gold leaves, a flick, trembling......
"And when will it be my turn?" Jingyi deliberately asked, "Are you my girl?" Why do you do all the outsiders first? How many people have you counted? Old lady, old aunt, little master...... Mrs. Gu also has it, not to mention that Miss Eight has two ...... Atul! And Atul......"
"Miss!" Qiu Wei puffed out her cheeks.
Jingyi poked her cheeks with her fingers and said, "Attu has it, I don't?" Well? ”
"Miss is really, isn't this for Miss enough?" Qiu Wei said, dragged a big cloth bag, and took out two hanging velvet threads from it for Jing Yi to see. A mass of white, a mass of black. "Which color does Miss prefer? This is Miss Eight who took me to the street to pick it up by myself. I picked the best. ”
Qiu Wei picked up the velvet thread and stuck it on Jingyi's cheek.
The soft and warm velvet thread made Jingyi's heart warm instantly.
"Why don't you learn from me, Miss? Miss white this lining. Miss you look good in a white scarf...... Oh, any color lady will look good when she wears it. Qiu Wei smiled and pointed to the black one, "The black one, it's better to wait for the young lady to learn it and make it up for my uncle." I thought, in the past few years, Miss, you haven't done anything personal for your uncle, so ...... in the future."
Jingyi pulled the velvet thread, looked at the light, and said, "What is now and later, I want black." ”
"The white one for my uncle?" Qiu Wei asked narrowly.
Jingyi hit her with a velvet thread, and she hid.
After making noise for a while, Jing Yi only felt that her body was sweating, and her body was more comfortable.
"He's not uncommon with this." As she spoke, she unwrapped the velvet thread.
Qiu Wei looked at her expression, although it was faint, it was still a little gloomy.
She took the velvet thread, put it on her hand, and let Jingyi wrap the thread.
Jingyi wrapped the thread too tightly, and her hands were bloodless, Qiu Wei hurriedly reminded her: "Miss, don't your hands hurt?" ”
Jingyi finally peeled off the velvet thread from her hand, and then wrapped it again, and relaxed a lot.
"Miss, when are you going to talk to your uncle?" Qiu Wei asked in a low voice.
Jingyi was stunned for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer...... It's not something that can be left in three moments. ”
"Go so far, miss...... What is Germany like? Qiu Wei asked curiously.
Jingyi thought about it, but she still couldn't describe it to Qiu Wei, so she just said, "I'll know when you go." ”
"Oh." Qiu Wei nodded, "Did the old man and his wife also go to Germany back then?" ”
Jingyi nodded slowly.
The quiet ripples, the quiet ripples on the Rhine in the eyes of her parents, maybe just her father's, but eventually became her name...... She stopped winding the thread in her hand, was stunned for a while, and said, "How old are you when you come back with me...... Qiu Wei, it's time for you to get married. ”
"I don't want to get married! I followed Miss. Where Miss goes, I go. Qiu Wei was anxious and shouted loudly.
"Okay, okay." Jing Yi smiled, flicked Qiu Wei's earrings again, and whispered, "Silly you? Don't you know, when you have a good home, my heart will be happier? You have someone to take care of, and I don't care about it wherever I am......"
Qiu Wei was silent.
Jingyi listened to the outside and said, "The wind has stopped? ”
The wind stopped, quietly, as if there was no sound at all.
Jingyi bent the remaining bit of velvet thread, looked at the hanging black velvet thread, but did not touch it again.
"I want to go out for a walk." She said.
"Isn't it uncomfortable?" Qiu Wei asked. Seeing that she had already taken the cloak and put it on, she said, "Mother Zhang said to prepare ginger soup, why haven't you come here yet...... I'm going to check it out too. Wrap up tightly, so you don't get cold. The stomach hurt even more when I turned around, but there was really no cure. ”
Jing Yi smiled and nodded, and said, "In the future, when you get older, you will definitely look like Qiao's mother." ”
Qiu Wei opened her mouth, looked at Jingyi with disgust, and said, "I don't want to be as fat as Qiao's mother, I want to be like Zhang's mother." Slim and good-looking. ”
Jingyi walked out of the room with a smile.
The wind was subdued, and there was still a strong smell of dust outside.
She looked up at the sky, there was no cloud, and a bright moon hung quietly in the sky......
Qiu Wei didn't follow. She was about to turn around and enter the house when she saw a dark figure at the end of the hallway...... Qiu Wei just wanted to ask who it was, and then recognized that it was Tao Xiang, and in this shock, she hurriedly turned her head to look at Jing Yi - Jing Yi walked into the depths of the woods, her rose-colored cloak was like a rose-colored cloud, covered with a dark yellow shadow, and the red was particularly ......
