19 Love Villa (3)
Yun Zhi only felt that she had done what she should do, and never thought about letting anyone thank her. However, she never thought that Ayu would take the initiative to mention this matter when he invited her to watch the stars together tonight.
After listening to her words, Yun Zhi couldn't help but frowned, "Have you often encountered that kind of thing in the past?"
Ayu was silent for a while and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I'm used to it."
Ah Yu has a delicate appearance and speaks a little slowly, which always gives people a feeling of coquettishness. If such a girl grew up in a wealthy family, she would be able to charm countless children of aristocratic families just by opening her mouth and lowering her eyes. But fate is so cruel that such a beautiful flower has lost its family since childhood and is living alone. Wouldn't it be bullied?
Yun Zhi only felt distressed, stood up, stretched out his hand and patted her arm, "It's okay. I'll teach you two moves later. If someone bullies you again, just knock him down!"
Ayu smiled, "Okay."
Suddenly he asked: "Is it past midnight now?"
Yun Zhi didn't know the time and responded vaguely.
But Ayu said: "Today is my birthday!"
Yunzhi immediately sat up straight, "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? I should have prepared a gift for you!"
Ah Yu laughed and murmured in a low voice, "Lu Yunzhi, you are my first friend. I am very happy to celebrate my birthday with my first friend."
Just as Yun Zhi was about to say some blessings to brighten the atmosphere, the owner of the small building came up with a basket of refreshments.
It was already late at night, and seeing that the old woman was already sleepy, the two of them didn't stay much longer, had some refreshments and left.
.
When Ayu woke up the next day, Yunzhi had already gone out.
Xiao Yi came over to look for someone, but couldn't find him. He asked several disciples in the village before asking where Yun Zhi was.
Looking for her all the way up the mountain, I saw someone standing under a ginkgo tree, looking up at the leaves on the tree in a daze. I was about to call her, but I saw her suddenly raising her foot and kicking the tree.
The ginkgo leaves all over the tree were rustling down, and the person under the tree was looking up. Golden leaves fell one after another on her head, shoulders, and palms. A ray of skylight was penetrating through the branches and leaves and hitting her, as if to protect her. She was gilded with an extremely soft golden light.
At this moment, Xiao Yi thought he saw a god. He suddenly remembered the meeting in Haoranzhai that night. The light of the light reflected on her face made it difficult for him to look away.
As soon as Yun Zhi turned around, he saw Xiao Yi standing a few steps away from him, and felt a little surprised, "Xiao Yi? Why are you here too?"
Xiao Yi raised his hand and touched his nose, took two steps forward, stood in front of her, and then said: "Your eldest sister and the prince are coming back today. I came to discuss it with you to see if you can avoid it." them?"
"Of course you have to avoid it!" Yunzhi said without hesitation.
He groaned, suddenly raised his hand and plucked a leaf from her hair, looked at it in his hand, and asked: "Why did you come here so early in the morning to kick the tree? Who messed with you?"
Yun Zhi saw him taking a leaf from the top of his head, and quickly raised his hand to touch his head. He first asked, "Are there any leaves on my head?" After receiving the answer, he replied, "No one messes with me." , today is Ayu’s birthday, I want to give her a gift.”
As he spoke, he squatted down and began to collect the leaves that had just fallen but were still fresh.
Xiao Yi was startled for a moment, and then he knelt down to help her. After a while, he suddenly said: "Actually, today is also my birthday."
Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, holding Ye Zi and turning his head to look at him, "How old are you...?"
"Twenty-one." Xiao Yi was still picking up leaves and asked again: "What's wrong?"
Yunzhi exclaimed and stood up immediately. The leaves hidden on the hem fell to the ground. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab a few pieces and sighed: "You and Ayu were born on the same year, same month and same day." ! Oh my god, you guys are so destined!"
Xiao Yi blinked, "Really? Brother Pei, too."
Yunzhi's expression froze and he was already stunned, "You, you mean... you three were... born on the same day, same year, same month, and same day?"
Xiao Yi nodded and came over half-crouched to help her gather the leaves under her feet.
After a while, Yunzhi suddenly snorted, looking quite disappointed, "I'm the only one different from you. The clown is actually me."
Having said that, I still picked up every leaf in my hand.
Because she wanted to surprise Ayu, Yun Zhi didn't dare to go back to her room. She went to his yard with Xiao Yi with a bunch of leaves in her arms. She worked alone for a long time and didn't even eat lunch. Xiao Yi brought the rice to her. When I entered the room, I found that the person was gone again, leaving only a pile of tattered leaves on the table.
When it was getting dark, Yunzhi came back sneakingly carrying a cloth bag.
Seeing Xiao Yi standing on the porch from a distance, he immediately turned around and made a long circle before turning into his own yard.
Then, she hurriedly ran out of the yard, then ran back again. After struggling for a while, she came back to drink some water and went out again.
Xiao Yi listened to the reports from the disciples in the village and suddenly began to look forward to the gift she was going to give A Yu.
Maybe there is a hint of envy.
Not long after the lamp was turned on, Ah Yu and Pei Shun came back chatting and laughing. Of course, most of the time it was Ah Yu who was joking, with Pei Shun occasionally replying a word or two.
Almost at the same time, Qu Shaochen came to tell Xiao Yi that Xiao Rufeng was hosting a banquet for distinguished guests today and could not dine with everyone. Xiao Yi didn't ask any more questions, but his voice was slightly low when he said "I know".
As soon as Qu Shaochen left, a disciple came over and asked them to go to the Yingyue Pavilion by the lake, saying that Miss Yunzhi was waiting for everyone there.
The three of them happened to be on the corridor, looked at each other, smiled, and went together.
.
There is a small lake near the back mountain of Qingyi Villa. The lake is not big, but there are no weeds, lotuses or leaves on it, so it looks extra wide. There is a small pavilion in the center of the lake called Yingyue. Whenever the moon hangs high in the night sky, the shadow of the moon will fall around the Yingyue Pavilion. If there is a gentle breeze, it is the best place to view the scenery.
Tonight is the bright moon.
The lamps are lit in the Yingyue Pavilion, and soft gauze curtains are scattered around. The occasional breeze blows, covering the appearance of the pavilion.
The three of them walked onto the Talang Bridge leading to the Huxin Pavilion one after another. Ayu didn't realize what he was about to see, so he only curiously asked the two people behind him, "Do you know why Yun Zhi suddenly Did you ask us to come here?”
Even though they knew it, they couldn't answer, so they didn't say anything.
The Talang Bridge is not long, and soon the three of them arrived in front of the Yingyue Pavilion.
The autumn wind gently blew the gauze curtain, and after just catching a glimpse of it, Ayu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God!"
He raised his hand to lift up the mist-like curtain, and the stars made of leaves swayed with the wind. He slowly approached and saw a strange lamp on the table in the pavilion, which was covered with star-shaped leaves. The light Slipping out from the gaps between these leaves, the light flows elegantly, as if thousands of stars are pouring into the sky from the bottom of the lake.
Ayuchi watched for a long time, but before he could say a word of praise, he only heard a whooshing sound, and a beam of white light suddenly appeared in front of him. Then the night wind blew down stars like rain, and there were fire trees, clouds and flowers all over the sky.
The three of them were stunned.
"Doesn't it look good?"
At some point, Yunzhi appeared behind the three of them like a ghost, carrying her little cloth bag.
The three of them turned to look at her at the same time.
Her face was filled with an eager smile, her eyes were bright, and her voice was brisk and lively: "Happy birthday, Ayu! Happy birthday, Pei Shun!" When she looked at Xiao Yi, her smile faded slightly, as if she was a little hesitant. , "Although Master Xiao said that you never celebrate your birthday, meeting each other means we are destined. I wish you a happy birthday! Xiao Yi."
The expressions of the three people were different, but it was obvious that one of their eyes was brightened by the fireworks outside.
Yunzhi was attracted by the sound of fireworks and raised his eyes to look at the night sky. Clusters of fireworks bloomed and scattered, as bright as clouds.
She couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, so beautiful!"
Soon, the fireworks dissipated and the night returned to silence.
Yun Zhi withdrew his gaze, pulled A Yu to the table, and pointed at the starry lamp on the table, "A Yu, you said last night that you wanted to pick stars, but I can't pick real stars, so... you just Pretend you’re seeing stars!”
As she spoke, she lifted up the lamp and turned it slightly, and the stars in the pavilion began to rotate instantly. However, she smiled guiltily, "The time was too short and it was a bit sloppy. Don't dislike it!"
Ah Yu looked like he was about to cry. His eyes were red and the corners of his lips trembled for a long time before he finally smiled, but his voice was choked with sobs. "I really, really like it! Thank you for knowing. Why are you so nice!"
Although he was praised, Yun Zhi suddenly became shy, "No way, we are friends, you just like it!"
After saying that, he looked at Pei Shun again and called out, "Mr. Pei!"
He reached into the cloth bag at his side and fumbled, took out a folding fan, and handed it over with both hands, "To tell you the truth, the first time I saw this fan, I felt that it should be held in your hand. !”
Pei Shun took the fan and weighed it in his hand. It was a very ordinary fan with a handle made of bamboo. The fan surface was white and simply hooked with a cluster of orchids. The other side...
Turning over the fan, Pei Shun was stunned for a moment, looked up at Yun Zhi, and said slowly: "Wish the wine to the east wind, and let's be calm together?"
Yun Zhile looked at him and nodded, "Yes, yes, does this poem perfectly match your temperament?"
Pei Shun showed a strange expression, "The poem is a good poem, but the person who wrote the inscription... his skills are not matched with the poem."
The smile on Yunzhi's lips disappeared instantly, and he muttered in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"
She specifically asked the fan-painting scholar to write it correctly, and then she wrote it stroke by stroke. It was clearly the same as what the scholar had written. Why was everyone laughing at her?
Seeing her like this, Pei Shun knew where the word came from, and he saved it in time: "I mean, this word is better than this poem."
Yun Zhi knew that he was coaxing her, but she still became happy again. When she turned to look at Xiao Yi, she saw that his eyes were full of expectation, and his eyes began to stare at her bag.
Pei Shun and A Yu also looked at her dusty bag with the same curiosity.
Under the attention of the three people, Yunzhi took out a dagger.
A silver dagger with almost no embellishment.
The three of them were stunned.
Yun Zhi looked excited, "This knife is so good, it can cut iron like clay! If that person does this, the iron rod will break! With this, you can protect yourself!"
Xiao Yi is weak in humanities and has been injured by bandits. It is perfect to give him a knife to defend himself!
Yunzhi was very satisfied with every gift he chose.
Looking at the shining silver dagger in her hand, Xiao Yi was silent for a long time. He took it in his hand and looked at it again and again, as if he wanted to find out what was special about the knife to justify her eyes.
However, this is just an ordinary dagger, plain and featureless.
Even in any market in the Three Kingdoms, you can buy it for one tael of silver at most.
He looked at the folding fan in Pei Shun's hand, the star lamp in A Yu's hand, and finally fell on the dagger in his own hand, his eyes gradually filled with despair.
Even Pei Shun and A Yu sighed silently, with sympathetic eyes.
Yunzhi was not aware of it, but he looked at the dagger happily and said, "I even gave it a name!"
Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked up and down.
"Silver Moon!" Yunzhi's eyes were always shining, "How about it! Does it sound good? Look at it, does it look like the crooked moon?"
Xiao Yi smiled, "Like."
After a slight pause, he said, "That sounds good."
Another meal, "It sounds good."
"That's right!" Faced with his compliment, she didn't feel guilty, and even praised herself again, "I'm really good at naming!"
All three laughed softly.
Then there was a very brief silence.
"Xiao Yunzhi." Pei Shun suddenly said, "Thank you."
There was little smile in his eyes, and now his eyebrows were curved more like her Senior Brother Pei. Yun Zhi was suddenly startled, lowered his eyes for a moment, and then laughed again, "Thank you, we are all friends!"
Immediately, she took out a pot of wine and several wine glasses from the bag, filled them one by one, and distributed them to everyone.
Raising the glass high, she looked at each of them in her eyes, "May the three of you have this day every year, and this day every year!"
We drank together against the moon and returned home while we were in the mood.
After returning to the room, the three of them each received a bowl of longevity noodles. The disciple who brought the noodles said that Miss Yunzhi went to the kitchen to cook it herself.
That night, the wind blowing through Qingyi Villa was particularly gentle.
.
There was only one day left before the Sword Appreciation Conference, and all the disciples outside Qingyi Villa returned to the village.
Huan Chengxi and Lu Yunsheng also followed their senior brothers and sisters back.
In order to avoid them, Yun Zhi deliberately took a detour when he returned to his room, but when he passed a small courtyard, he stopped unconsciously.
From the outside, there is nothing special about the courtyard.
But on the stone plaque above the circular arch, two words were clearly engraved——
The clouds are quiet.
Simplified.
