Chapter 4: Thick or Light Shadows (13)
Tao Si was startled, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "Really?!" Who mentioned it? You? Or is she? Seventh, you, you, you, you......"
Tao Xiao pushed Tao Si's hand away, and didn't care that the second brother was anxiously whispering to him behind him. Shu Xuan entered the house and saw that his mother was beckoning Cheng Jingyi to sit next to her as usual—she hesitated a little, and then passed. Next to his mother, she looked petite and effeminate...... Most of the women of the Tao family are like his mother, so she really doesn't look like a daughter-in-law suitable for the Tao family. However, when he looked at it from a distance, he felt that this seemingly incongruous combination might also be a little interesting......
Jingyi saw Tao Xiang sitting here casually, only occasionally moving his chopsticks, no matter who he talked to, or occasionally speaking, he was kind and angry.
She thought to herself that she was a person who had seen Tao Xiang's true face, and she always felt that he was like this, not true.
Tao Xiang knew that Jingyi was watching him, but he was not restrained. At this time, Mrs. Cheng specially asked someone to serve him a bowl of lotus root, saying that she saw that he liked to eat this, and let him taste it more. He said this to Mrs. Cheng, and ate a bowl of lotus roots; The second bowl came up, and even the maid who served him lotus root couldn't help laughing...... The whole family is full of fun for the little son-in-law, and they are very happy.
He obediently ate this second bowl of lotus root, without looking at Cheng Jingyi, and knew that her annoyed face was going to be black. But sitting at another table, the second wife of the Cheng family, who had almost the same face as her daughter, was quietly looking at him from beginning to end. Unlike Cheng Jingyi, her gaze is extremely gentle......
Other than that, the meal was peaceful.
When Tao Shengchuan left, Tongcheng Shiyun was already smoked.
This night, Cheng Shiyun, who was smoky, rarely went to the second wife's apricot house.
So it didn't take long for everyone in the mansion to know that the master was very satisfied with the seventh young master of the Tao family. The marriage between the seventh young master of the Tao family and the tenth miss will wait for the day of Wending.
And in the legend, the Seventh Young Master of the Tao Family is simply a very beautiful character, and he is a couple with Miss Ten......
Jingyi was full of troubles about this, and there was nowhere to go, and every few days, the Flawless Sisters came to visit her.
“…… Anyway, you have to admire Tao Xiang. You don't have face to others in front of you, not only do they endure it, but they don't show it at all from beginning to end, and you let your uncle and aunt look at each other up and down, what kind of ability is this? It's not just a face that takes advantage of the past. After listening to Zhishen's description of the situation that day, Wujian smiled. On the second day of the Tao family's visit, his aunt Du Shi went to Zhao's house to play cards and talked about it. Although it is completely different from the situation described here from Jingyi,
There was no time to sit on the side and make tea for them.
Jing Yi's face was no longer good-looking.
Got a face that took advantage?
They didn't know how ...... Tao Xiang's face was at that time
Jingyi didn't want to say.
At this time, the only consolation in her heart was that her father kept his word: Dai Mengyuan had been released last night and was now recuperating at home. Zhishen said that Dai Mengyuan was fine, and she didn't have to worry about it.
How could she not be concerned?
"Tao Xiang's man." Immaculate suddenly said, "I can't believe it." ”
Wujian leaned on the sofa, lazily looked at Flawless, and asked, "Because of his peachy news, right?" ”
Immaculate nodded silently. glanced at Jingyi, but couldn't help but say nothing.
"Which of them isn't?" Wujian said, seeing that Wufang was staring, he smiled: "No, no, I said something wrong, except for Jin Huiquan." ”
"You don't talk nonsense." There was no time to scold her.
Wujian also smiled, knowing that Flawless's worries were not unreasonable. She had only heard about Tao Xiang and other things, but Huang Zhenni was crazy about Tao Xiang, and she had both heard and seen it with her own eyes.
"Yi'er, you wait." Innocent Lala Jingyi's braids. The long black and shiny braid is heavy and weighty in the hand. It's clean, it's touched, and it's slippery...... Except for a black headband, tied to the end of a long braid, there was nothing jewelry. It's not necessary at all.
Jingyi looked up.
Wujian pretended to be mysterious and said, "Maybe things really go as you want." ”
"Really?" Jingyi asked. Her heart moved. Although she was extremely reluctant to recall what she overheard in the Kong family's study that night, the person concerned must not have known that she had overheard such a secret thing, but that scene was still pressed in her heart, and it came out from time to time, making her uncomfortable.
Maybe, just maybe, it's hope—Jenny Wong, or maybe there's another woman...... Tao Xiang may not want her.
Like he said, if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have anything to lose.
I hope so.
"You think about it, why should Tao Xiang suffer from your contempt and grievances? His girlfriends grabbed a lot of them, and they were all famous. It's just that the dissolution of the marriage may be as you wish. Uncle will not allow you to marry Dai Mengyuan, that's two words. Wujian shook off Jingyi's braids and swept his chin, itchy.
"You listen to the innocent." Flawless was very dissatisfied with his sister's statement, "Yi'er, you can't mess around." ”
Jingyi was stunned for a moment and said, "Even if it's just to dissolve the marriage contract, I will win a ride." ”
She couldn't imagine that she would spend her life with Tao Xiang.
"How's the eldest cousin?" Jing Yi remembered. In the morning, she only talked about her, and she forgot to ask how Flawless and Carefree was.
"Don't mention it, when I mention the eldest sister, I'm even more breathless." Innocent first.
"Is the eldest cousin okay?" Jingyi asked.
didn't have time to take a sip of tea, but it took a while for a while to say: "The eldest sister saw that she was about to give birth, and her mother had prepared a lot of things for her. Didn't expect ......"
"Could it be that my brother-in-law is gambling again?" Jingyi asked.
"It's not just about gambling these days. It's getting more and more unseemly, and I'm infected with a hibiscus fetish. "I have no time to calm my face, "A few days ago, I made a big gamble, I lost a lot, and I secretly took out a jade and jade cabbage that my eldest sister married to pay off the debt, but it was still not enough." The debt collector blocked the door, and the eldest sister was angry for a while, and she didn't dare to tell her mother, so she had to let someone secretly call me over, and I must think of a countermeasure. What can I do? Who will release the jade cabbage again? I hid it from my mother and told my father that I was going to buy a few things, plus a little savings from me and my third child, and gave her a check for 2,000 yuan, which could resist for a while. It's just that going on like this is really not the way to go. ”
"My father didn't know people well back then, how could he fall in love with the Wang family's loser?" The innocent eyebrows were upside down, and his face was blue.
"It's not all my father's fault. Wang Nansun was his protégé, and he was still good at that time. The Wang family is also a family, but Wang Nansun was too unsuccessful later. As soon as the old man and the old lady of their family passed away, they became less and less afraid, and now they eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and do nothing serious. In the past few years, how many errands his father has arranged for him, and none of them have not been smashed by him, and now he has to hang an idle position in the Ministry of Education, and he can't go to the yamen twice a year, and he receives a few hundred yuan, what's the use?! That's it, it's still a show! I'm just feeling sorry for my eldest sister now. She is not a pungent character, she can't hold him, and she is shouting for Na Xiao this time. Now the family is still living her life, and they are still squeezing her. In the future, there will be her hard life. There was no time for a long sigh, "I don't dare to talk to my grandmother and mother very much." ”
"I'll go see my eldest cousin another day." Jingyi said.
That's exactly what I said. She's thinking about you, too. It's just that the Wang family is like this now, and she really doesn't want to let us go; When she returned to her parents' house, she felt shameless again. I want you to go and see her, because I don't think she looks very good. I mean, whether it's Western or Oriental, you have to ask a midwife to help, but the old rules of the Wang family are still like that. Go and persuade her. "I don't have time to say.
Jingyi nodded.
"When I show my mother and go to visit my eldest cousin, I won't be denied it." She said.
"We're going to have to sneak around. Mom has to take care of the face of the Wang family, and the eldest sister has to take care of the face of her brother-in-law, and I don't know how much these faces are worth? "Sooner or later, I have to teach that Wang Nansun a lesson." ”
"You're getting more and more capable. Teach him, it's your turn? Wufang frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I haven't said you yet." Why did I listen to the Confucian family dance that night, and the noise was really not decent? When I woke up early this morning, I listened to my third sister-in-law asking my mother. ”
Wujian blushed, turned his face away and seemed to calm down his emotions before saying, "Just ask." I'm not afraid of people asking. ”
"You're not afraid of anything. The face of the Zhao family and the face of your father, you always have to take care of it, right? Immaculate frowned.
"It's just for the sake of face, I endure it again and again. In any case, this time, I will not back down. It's Yi'er, and I encourage her too......" Wuji said, looking at Jingyi.
Jingyi shook her hand.
There was no time to sigh and say, "If you don't change your temper, it's not that I said you, sooner or later, you will get into trouble." Now everyone in the city knows that the third lady of the Zhao family and the eldest young master of the Kong family are in the honey luck. Looking back, Kong Yuanyu couldn't stop the pressure of the Kong and Huang families, and ...... again."
"Then I'll take his life first, and then die." Innocent said.
Jingyi and Immaculate were stunned.
Especially Jingyi, her heart went up and down for a while, and when Wuji said the word "death", her heart suddenly fell to the ground. He stared at Wuji in a daze, and couldn't speak.
What was Nothing else was said, she didn't hear it.
************
Nearly a week passed from the day the Tao family came to visit, and instead of proposing to withdraw from the marriage as Jingyi secretly prayed, Tao Shengchuan and his wife invited Cheng Shiyun and his wife back to the guild hall before leaving for the northwest.
