Chapter 14: The Rain Grows Stronger (16)
When he went in and changed his clothes, he came out to see that there was already milk bread on the table. Jing Yi didn't touch the food, but sat there, fiddling with a small medicine box in front of her. He smelled the potion and frowned.
Jing Yi looked at him and didn't make a sound.
He raised his hand and scratched his eyebrows.
Jing Yi saw the abrasions on his hands. She came over with a cold face and pulled his hand to take a look. It's not long, but it's a deep wound. It doesn't look serious.
"Leave it alone." He said.
Her hands were soft and delicate, carefully squeezing his palms, making him look like a child.
Jingyi ignored what he said, turned around and took the cotton wool, which was soaked in iodine wine and rolled on his wound. Two pieces of cotton wool were replaced, and the wound was cleaned to reveal fresh flesh. She didn't need stitches. He was carefully drugged and asked to wrap a bandage, and he said no.
"Do you still need to bandage this wound?" He wasn't happy.
Jing Yi held a roll of bandages and wrapped them around his hands. He watched as she wrapped his hand into a dumpling. How to look at it, how ugly...... Jing Yi looked at him, he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his hands were wrapped, which was indeed not a good match.
"Don't get wet when you take a bath, or you'll get infected." Jingyi packed up the used cotton wool and gauze and threw away the trash, "Atul has sent you something." โ
She handed him an envelope that lay on the table. Seeing that his right hand was bandaged and strong, it was not convenient to open the envelope, so he took a letter opener and opened it for him, and turned to wash his hands.
She came out of the bathroom, and Tao Xiang was no longer in the room.
While she was pondering, the door suddenly opened, and Tao Xiang came in and said, "I have to go out." You go to sleep first, don't wait for me. โ
She nodded.
He didn't say where he was going, and she didn't ask.
He was dressed very formally, and he should have gone to very formal occasions...... Moreover, I don't need her to accompany me.
Tao Xiang saw that her face was much better than before, said good night, and closed the door.
Jing Yi stood for a while before sitting down on the edge of the bed.
She closed her eyes.
It seemed to be the blue sky in front of me, with white clouds and mist drifting by, mountains and rivers...... The roar of the planes...... The heart is flying high and low with this scene......
She opened her eyes.
And the heart fell to the ground.
I could almost hear the soft "coo-dong" sound.

"Yesterday's dinner at the Seven Star Bridge Mansion, you were glamorous." Yamei said with a smile. She clamped the pearl earrings on her earlobes for Jingyi and dialed them, "Don't talk about those ladies and ladies who used to be in the limelight, even the third young grandmother will be compared." โ
Jingyi smiled. For nearly a week, there were dinners and dances almost every day, and last night's dinner at the Qixingqiao Mansion gathered celebrities and elites, and she coped with the hardest work. Winning praise is not enough to compensate.
She rubbed her shoulders, thinking of the dance party at General Shi Jingchang's mansion tonight, she couldn't help but feel a little numb in her scalp, and said, "I hope there are fewer people who invite me to dance tonight." โ
"How so? Mrs. has become the new prom queen, and Lao Qi doesn't say anything, she should be proud in her heart. However, you really have to fake the men who ask you to dance......" Yamei deliberately teased Jingyi. Seeing Jingyi follow Tao Xiang in and out of the Qixingqiao Mansion, accompanied by Tao Xiang, that advance and retreat is really much more mature than her age, which makes her admire again.
Jing Yi's clear eyes showed a strange look, looking at Yamei.
Yamei saw that she was still wearing a black evening dress, compared to last night's long skirt, tonight's dress was shorter and more concise. Bottle collar, chin-length; mid-sleeve, elbow-level; Skirt length and foot ...... The most ornate decorations seem to be the head-to-toe lace of the skirt and the triple pearl necklace around the neck.
"Why are you so tightly wrapped tonight? Could it be the meaning of Lao Qi? Yamei didn't care if Jingyi was uncomfortable or not, she just wanted to tease her.
Jingyi had nothing to refute.
Because she did consider this layer, she chose this dress. Last night's evening dress was really wonderful, and it was really a bit exposed. Yamei and Wujian made a reference for her, although in the eyes of the always open and somewhat conservative Yamei, the collar falling to the collarbone was really not exposed, but she also hesitated before putting the dress out. But she didn't expect Tao Xiang to look up at her, and her eyes suddenly felt a little wrong. If it weren't for the fact that they were already in time to go to the Qixingqiao Mansion, I'm afraid he would have said that he would have asked her to go up and change her clothes again, right?
She followed him almost never a step all night, accompanying him with all kinds of people Zhou 61. The people who can go to the banquet at the Qixingqiao Mansion are naturally not idle people, Tao Xiang and her are the focus, there is nothing to say a few words, it is not only troublesome to deal with it, but it is even more laborious later...... Fortunately, she had expected it, and although it was hard, she never thought of retreating. It's just that when she gets home, she doesn't want to talk anymore. She hastily washed her face and went to bed, but Tao Xiang went out again. She woke up this morning, and his pillow still looked like it hadn't been touched. She didn't know if he had come back last night because he had slept too deeply, but she didn't ask as usual......
Jingyi stroked the pearl around her neck and said, "It's time, let's go, second sister-in-law." โ
Yamei smiled and went out with Jingyi.
Jingyi specially walked behind Yamei, admiring Yamei's mature and elegant charm. Yamei found out, poked her forehead with her hand, and said, "Naughty." See what I do? โ
Jingyi sighed lightly and said, "If I were a man, I would marry a woman like my second sister-in-law." โ
Yamei was stunned and laughed.
She was dressed in a fuchsia dress, trembling lightly as she smiled, and the fine broken crystals of the same color on the dress sparkled, making her whole body shine as well......
Tao Si was waiting at the bottom of the stairs when he heard laughter and looked up.
Both Yamei and Jingyi's smiling faces were full of brilliance, and his gaze only stopped on Jingyi for a moment, and then turned to his wife Yamei.
It was an appreciative gaze. Jingyi deliberately walked two steps slower, and seeing Yamei walking down, Tao Si reached over, waiting for her, waiting for her to smile at him...... Jingyi sighed a little.
"Where's the seventh?" Yamei looked to the side, but Tao Xiang was nowhere to be seen.
"He has something to do, go directly to General Shi's mansion." Tao Si looked at his watch, "This must have arrived." โ
Jing Yi didn't feel anything, Ya Mei smiled: "He is really relieved." If you don't bring it into the venue in person, you're not afraid that your daughter-in-law will be snatched away? โ
Tao Si laughed and said, "Then we will have a lively scene." He's with Wen Mo. What about the eighth? โ
"It's coming, it's coming." It is advisable to come in from the outside.
Jingyi looked at her holding an umbrella in her hand and asked her, "Where have you been again?" Don't get your skirt wet. Er Yi had already dressed up, and was impatient to wait for her and Yamei to change their clothes, so she went downstairs early. At this time, he was holding a few yellow and clear fruits in his hands.
Eryi showed them the fruit in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'll wait for you to wait for boredom, so I'll wander around." Look, the loquat in the yard is ripe. โ
"Ba, you're really the same size as Cersei. He stared at the loquat trees all day long. Yamei smiled and put on her gloves and looked at Er Yi, "It's good that I didn't get my skirt wet, otherwise how would I see Wen Mo later?" โ
She just said casually, Er Yi was putting the loquat down, but said, "Oh, it's best if he dislikes me and isn't worthy of him." I'm afraid that his playboy reputation will bring me down...... Why do you have to find me a dance partner? Can't I go it alone? Besides, I don't know how to dance much, so it's awkward for Bai Wenmo to walk with me......"
"That's a lot of talk." Tao Si spoke. The tone was not high, but Er Yi was silent.
Jingyi took Eryi's hand and smiled.
Although Tao Si usually seems easy-going and amiable, he still has a slightly stiff face, which is still a little scary.
Yamei is instructing the tiger girl to explain to the nurse of Cersei, and if she wakes up at night, if she makes trouble, she will call the Shi Mansion. Seeing that Tao Si was a little strict with Er Yi, he came over and helped him go first.
Er Yi waited for Tao Si Yamei to get into the car, and then pulled Jingyi to the back car to sit, and complained in a low voice: "Don't you like to be sent to the pile like this, what kind of person is Bai Wenmo, others don't know, don't the second brother and the seventh brother know?" Mrs. Suo wouldn't be unaware, would she? Bai Wenmo can be an elder brother, he pursues the matter of the third young grandmother, and I am guilty of ...... when I think of it."
Jingyi listened to her complaining and comforted her: "I know, I know." If you go tonight, you're going to dance, Eighth Sister. โ
"Bai Wenmo doesn't look down on me, what do you think of his girlfriends? Look at what he pursues, others don't say, what kind of person is the third young grandmother? Eryi said with a frown.
When Jing Yi heard this, her heart moved, and she looked at Er Yi and said, "Don't say that, everyone has a good person, and you are not worse than her." โ
Er Yi sat next to Jing Yi, wearing a light rose-red dress on his body, and his whole body was full of health and youthful breath. Maybe she has subconsciously regarded Er Yi as her sister, and in her eyes, Er Yi is beautiful...... Er Yi was originally a little unhappy, but when she heard Jingyi say this, she smiled and said, "Seventh sister-in-law didn't make me happy?" โ
"I'll coax you to be happy, once or twice or may, can I coax you for a lifetime?" Jingyi smiled.
In fact, it's no wonder that Eryi is a little depressed. Chief Suo's wife and General Shi's wife also seemed to have this meaning in their conversation. I don't know if the Bai family also has this idea...... Bai Wenmo, she has only been in contact with a little more these days, but she can't find anything wrong. Rumors are rumors, what am I like, maybe Tao Xiang knows better...... She was a little confused.
