Diao Xue looked at Yu Yi's back. His figure was relatively thin and he looked like a Confucian scholar. He was not as strong as Zhang Daniu, but he gave people a feeling of peace of mind and dependability. For some reason, he just had a feeling for Yu Yi. I have a good feeling, thinking about the embarrassing intrusion earlier, my heart suddenly pounded.
"Look at that star. It's Vega. She is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, ranking fifth in the night sky and the second brightest star in the northern hemisphere." Yu Yi suddenly pointed to a constant star in the sky.
Diao Xue's thoughts were interrupted. She followed the direction of Yu Yi's finger and looked at the star. She felt that there was nothing special about it.
"That one is Altair, located in the constellation Aquila." After Diao Xue noticed Vega, Yu Yi pointed at Altair again.
In ancient times, there was relatively little pollution. When the weather was fine, many stars could be observed with the naked eye. Therefore, in ancient times, the imperial court set up a special institution called a star observatory, where they could observe some special astronomical phenomena and divine good and bad luck.
"It is said that a long time ago, there lived a family in the mountains, and there lived a pair of brothers. The eldest brother married a daughter-in-law, but she had evil intentions and always wanted to monopolize the entire family business.
One day, the second man went to herd cows. When he got to the field, he felt a little sleepy, so he patted the cow's back and said he wanted to sleep. The old cow seemed to understand the human words and ate grass next to it.
At noon, the sister-in-law came to deliver food. She saw the second son sleeping and kicked him hard. He put the rice can on the ground and left angrily.
The second child had been hungry for a long time. He picked up the jar and was about to eat it when the big ox next to him bumped the jar and smashed it into pieces. The second child was frightened when he saw the broken jar. He felt that he would be scolded for a while when he went back, so he could only sigh that his life was miserable. Occasionally, a wild cat ate a few mouthfuls of food and died of poison. Only then did he realize that the food was poisonous.
The second child realized that he could not live with this harmful man, otherwise he would be killed sooner or later, so he discussed with the eldest brother that they should live separately. When the wife heard this, she immediately became energetic. The second child's requirements were not high, as long as the cow. The daughter-in-law was very happy when she heard it and made the decision on the spot.
The next day, the second child drove away with the bullock cart, and the eldest brother had tears in his eyes. After walking a long way, I built a shed on the tree branches and settled down there. "
"What happened next?" Diao Xue was listening with interest at this time, how could she allow Yu Yi to stop.
"The origin of that cow is extraordinary. He is from the lower realm of the Taurus star in the sky. After living with the second child for a year, his life span is coming to an end. When he was leaving, he told the second child something. The cow will return to heaven after death. , the second child can peel off its skin and put it on the body, and can reach the sky.
The Queen Mother has seven daughters. On cloudy days, she will go to Tianhe to bathe. There is a woman in green clothes who is the wife of the second child. After she goes there, she must not let them see her. She just leaves with her clothes in her arms. They will definitely chase her as soon as she returns home. , she will never leave again.
Sure enough, things were as Niu expected. The next day, the second child buried the cow and went to the bank of the Tianhe River. When he saw a fairy going to bathe, he grabbed the green dress and ran away without saying a word. After the third fairy found out, they chased the second fairy to his home and asked the reason. It turned out that the second fairy wanted her to be his wife, but the third fairy insisted that it was not allowed by the laws of heaven. However, the second fairy kept talking about the fun in the world, or the long life of the second fairy. He was also handsome, or what he said impressed the third fairy, and she was really moved.
So, the three fairies came to the human world and played flowers and weaved cloth at home. People called them the Weaver Girl. "
"So does the second child. How can he steal other people's clothes while they are bathing?" Upon hearing this, Diao Xue thought that the second child's method of chasing the Weaver Girl was not honorable, and she complained a little.
"After that, the two of them should have lived a happy life, with men farming and women weaving." Complaints are followed by longing. Women are always full of hope for platonic love, and they all think the outcome will be good.
"It should have been like this, but Weaver Girl's parents didn't agree." Yu Yi looked at Diao Xue and smiled, then continued the story.
“Because the Weaver Girl’s cloth was very good and sold for a lot of money, their living conditions improved, they moved to a new residence, and they gave birth to a boy and a girl.
One day, the second child went to work in the fields and heard the sound of drums in the sky. It was the Jade Emperor who sent the heavenly soldiers to capture the Weaver Girl. The two children began to cry, which made the second child spin around in anxiety. He thought of the cowhide, so he put on the cowhide and chased after them. .
The second child chased very fast, which angered the Queen Mother. She pulled out the silver hairpin from her head and drew it between the two people, which immediately formed a Milky Way. In this way, the second child could no longer catch up, and both of them cried.
Later, the love between the two touched many people. Every year on the seventh day of July, a magpie bridge would be built at the Magpie Gate. On this day, the two could meet. After the meeting, the magpie bridge dispersed and the two were separated again. "
Yuyi took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at the deep starry sky. He hadn't seen such a starry scene for a long time. He didn't know why he told Diao Xue the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Perhaps he was feeling the tragedy of parents' control over their children's marriage in feudal society. If you can't break the rules, then become a strong person and make the rules.
"They... are so pitiful! Yin and Yin love each other very much, but they can't be together!" Or because she felt the desolation of the story, Diao Xue cried so hard that she was so sad.
"Yes, they were torn apart just because of the old-fashioned rules of heaven!" Yu Yi wiped Diao Xue's tears with his sleeves, and decided to help Diao Xue persuade Diao Ruxiao.
The sky full of stars and the ancient pavilion created a romantic atmosphere for the two of them, coupled with Yu Yi's sensational love story and intimate tear-wiping action, once again made Diao Xue's heart flutter.
Just as Diao Xue was thinking wildly, the sound of the watchman was heard. Yu Yi stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "It's getting late, go back and rest."
"Actually, I came to see you today to see how well you memorize the sect's rules?"
Only then did Yu Yi realize that there was such an important thing that he had yet to do. He nodded to Diao Xue, then turned around and disappeared into the night.
Looking at Yu Yi's leaving figure, Diao Xue turned from crying to laughing. After this exchange, the relationship between the two took a further step, and a seed of love began to sprout in her heart.
After returning, Yu Yi quickly took out the sect rules manual, flipped through the pages, and found that there was not much content, but quite a lot of nonsense. If it had been in the past, it would have been thrown away long ago. This time, it was Diao Ruxiao's request. You can't just start making trouble, so you had to bite the bullet and start reading, and fell asleep while reading.
