Chapter 3: The Flickering Night (4)
Du Shi saw that he just stared at Jing Yi, and stood there with Jing Yi as if his hands and feet were tied, so he said, "Master, dinner is ready." Shu Ma Baba Ring"
Cheng Shiyun hummed and stood up.
He passed by Jingyi's side, looked at her again, and then said, "I haven't seen you for the past two months, Yi'er seems to have lost some weight." ”
When Du Shi heard this, he hurriedly said as if relieved: "But isn't it, I said the same thing when I saw him that day." It's all because it's too hot. This time, it's okay, I came home and stayed for a long time, and I looked at it in front of me, and the food was even, so I made sure that I took good care of her. ”
Cheng Shiyun didn't say anything more, and walked into Ximei.
Jingyi sat down last.
According to Du's mother, she is about to return home for a long time...... In the end, her father arranged her future according to his wishes.
She looked up, and Zhishen put a chopstick in her bowl at this time. She looked at Zhi Shen, and then looked at the smiling Du mother, and what she wanted to say was suppressed again.
There's no rush at this time.
***********
The next day at noon, it was still muggy.
The four doors of Jingyi's room were closed, only the windows were open, and the bamboo curtains were lowered. Looking through the thin bamboo curtains, the scenery outside is covered with a layer of yellow sand. There was no wind, everything froze.
She didn't move the food on the table, and Qiu Wei urged her again and again, but she didn't take a bite.
Can't eat.
Now my heart is full of waiting to go out later.
She had already changed her clothes.
The watch in her arms was taken out by her for a while, and she had looked at it more than a dozen times from twelve o'clock at noon to now, but only half an hour had passed.
"Miss, if you don't eat again, wait for the kitchen to collect the dishes and chopsticks, if Mrs. knows that you haven't eaten, it's time to come and ask." Qiu Wei squatted on the ground, watching her young lady walk around, she was dizzy, so she had to squat down on the ground, and then simply sat down.
"You go eat." Jingyi said impatiently, "I said that you should eat, but if you don't eat, it will be up to you when it is discovered." ”
Qiu Wei pouted aggrievedly and said, "Miss, you can't eat it, I'll eat it?" ”
"Duh!" Jing Yi paused.
Qiu Wei had no choice but to sit down and eat a little symbolically everything.
Jingyi is still walking around.
When the mother-in-law who came to the kitchen to collect the dishes and chopsticks waited outside, Qiu Wei sent the food box out. Jingyi looked at the watch, a little.
She said okay with Zhizhi, half past one, the car was waiting in the back alley.
In a quarter of an hour, she would have to find a way to get out of Xinglu. She had already got the key, and when she opened the back door, she was going to hide it under the bricks, and then she would lock it. Zhishen said that he would drink tea and read books in the garden in the afternoon, and when the time was about right, he would open the back door for her to let her in smoothly.
"Miss, are you really going?" Qiu Wei still hesitated.
"You're so discouraged. It's all here, am I still giving up halfway? Jingyi said to Qiu Wei. She sat down to change her shoes. She is used to wearing high heels, and today she has to change to flat embroidered silk shoes. The dress on the body is the most ordinary moon white. In order to walk anywhere without being eye-catching.
"Yi'er?" Jingyi was wearing shoes, and suddenly she heard her mother Wanshu calling her, she thought at first that she was too nervous and misheard, and she didn't want to say again, she was by the bedside, and it was too late to take off her shoes at this time, so she hurriedly got on the bed, and pulled a thin quilt to cover her chin.
"Qiu Wei?" She whispered to the stunned Qiu Wei.
"Oh......" Qiu Wei was just about to go out, Jingyi saw the shoes in front of the window again, and hurriedly waved her hand.
Qiu Wei came over and pushed her shoes under the bed, hurriedly opened the curtain and went out, shouting, "Madam." ”
Wan Wei shook her fan, and when she saw that Qiu Wei almost hit her head, she frowned slightly and said, "You girl is hairy, what's the matter, just dozing off?" She said slowly, and the fan shook slowly.
Qiu Wei seemed to shake her body involuntarily, yawned, and said, "Miss is asleep, I'm ...... He dozed off. ”
"Ouch, there really is a master, there is a minion. Yi'er is a sleepy bug, and you are a sleepy bug. Wan Wei smiled, glanced at the room, and said, "Didn't the kitchen just collect the dishes and chopsticks, and then sleep?" ”
"It was too hot last night, and Miss didn't sleep well, so she got up early and said she was tired. Mrs. is going to call Miss, I'm going to call ......" Qiu Wei said and was about to go in.
"Come on. I don't have anything to do, it's time to take a nap, I'm afraid that it won't be good to accumulate food, so I'll take two steps out. That's it, let her sleep. Just don't oversleep. Wan Wei said, put one hand on Cui Xi's arm, and slowly turned around.
Qiu Wei was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when she saw Wan Wei standing down, she brought up this breath again: "What else does Mrs. command?" ”
"I seem to have heard yesterday that Yi'er lost something again? What's missing? Wan Wei asked. Ever since Jingyi had lost a bracelet, she had been careful.
"Not really." Qiu Wei hurriedly shook her head.
"You foolish girl, it's useless to ask you. Whatever I'm looking for when I move over there, I'm going to have to look for it slowly to find it. Yi'er is usually lost, plus you, there is something missing for a while, and there are also some. Be careful. Wan Wei said, waved his fan, and left.
Qiu Wei went back to the house, put down the curtain, and when she turned around, she saw that Jingyi was already sitting on the edge of the bed, and she was so frightened that she almost jumped up.
"Shh......h You are calm. Jingyi put on her shoes, tiptoed to the door and looked out, but she had long since disappeared from her mother and Cuixi. She patted her chest and said, "Scared me to death...... What a girl, so clever. ”
Qiu Wei had a bitter face.
Jingyi comforted her for a few words, then quietly walked out of the door, stood on the water platform in front of the house for a while, confirmed that there was no one else in the garden, and walked to the backyard of the apricot house as if watching the view, waving her hand behind her back, and signaling her to Qiu Wei in the house not to panic. She made her way to the back door. In order to facilitate people to enter and exit during the day, the back door of the apricot house is not locked, and she can easily get out of the apricot house.
It was the hottest time of the day, and it was surprisingly muggy despite the lack of sun.
Jing Yi only took these few steps, and her hot face became dry.
Fortunately, the masters of the Cheng Mansion have the habit of taking a nap, and the unwritten rule is that people are not allowed to go out and walk around during this time. She made her way into the back garden, not meeting anyone along the way. The back garden of this new house is huge, and it's easy to get lost if you're not careful. Fortunately, in order to make it convenient to come out in the past few days, she walked twice in the evening in the name of walking, so she was familiar with the road and touched the corner door of the back garden.
She looked around, and the huge brass lock on the corner door was new, and it didn't look unusual.
But Zhishen had already carefully explained the trick to her before, so she reached out and wiped it under the lock, wiped the mechanism, took out the key from her pocket, twisted it left and right, and after a while, the spring in the copper lock rang, and then the lock was opened. The brass lock was so solid that she struggled to remove it, placing the key and lock on the ground. At this time, she heard two crackles on the back door panel, opened the door, and came in from outside.
The brother and sister high-fived, and Jingyi went out.
Zhi Shen came out and told him to come back early, and then closed the corner door.
Jingyi took two steps and started running.
In the end, it used to be a palace, and the back alley was still wide, in order to run the carriage.
At this time, Jing Yi only felt that this straight alley was wide and dense, and the high walls on both sides could not be climbed by her three heights, if there was no help from Brother Jiu, how could she escape from this high wall?
ran to the end of the alley and turned around, only to see the back street, Jingyi ran out of breath, and when she saw the car waiting for her, she didn't hesitate to drive the door up, and ordered: "Ah Xi, go to the Summer Palace." ”
"Yes!" Cheng Xi had long known that he was going to the Summer Palace, and when Miss Ten ordered him so loudly, he stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly.
The letter stated that they met in a teahouse at the south gate of the Summer Palace.
Although the teahouse is not big, it is very elegant. The location is remote and there are few guests. She went in and sat down to wait for the tea to come up, and before she could say what tea she wanted, the cousin said that it was the guest's own tea.
She was very hot and thirsty, so she made tea with her own hands.
The tea pot is small, open and smell, and you can tell that it is the best Biluochun.
"When did he fall in love with Qingcha?" She was talking to herself. It's a bit strange, although Dai Mengyuan is a careful person, he won't be too particular about such a trivial matter...... The conch fell in the tea bowl, jingled the bell, and the tea smelled extremely fragrant. She drank two bowls in a row. I felt hungry again, so I ate a few pieces of dim sum to feel better. The heart is not as panicked as it was.
It's just that Dai Mengyuan hasn't come yet.
She looked at the time, and half an hour had passed since the appointed time.
She couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
At this time, the door rang, she thought it was Meng Yuan coming, and was about to get up, when she saw the cousin come in and bow her head and say, "I'm sorry Miss Cheng", pointed to the tea canister on the table, and said, "Mistaken, this is the tea placed by another guest, the small one is wrong." Whatever tea you want, the small one will be brewed for you. As he spoke, he held a lacquer tray over.
"So, I'm biased towards other people's good tea." Jing Yi was curious for a moment, so she picked up the celadon tea jar from before and looked at it, and sure enough, there was a red label, but it was a word "Tao". This is indeed the tea that the guests have deposited. She immediately put the tea canister in the tray and asked, "But someone came to ask me?" ”
"Not really." The cousin was in a hurry to leave, and Shi Li retreated.
Jingyi drank the tea in the bowl, it was already the third brew, and the taste was much less, but it was still fragrant...... She put the tea bowl aside. Because I remembered that "Tao". There are more people surnamed Tao in the world, but they don't want to do this and the other, which makes people feel unhappy - it's just that Meng Yuan hasn't come yet?
