When you look up at Yaoyu Valley at night, you can see the shining stars. The cicadas' cries are joined by the frogs' chirps. The evening breeze brings bursts of fresh herbal fragrance. This kind of thought can make Ji Yannuo's
Calm down your mind.
The pear blossoms in the pear courtyard had long since faded, and they were all gone on the day Ji Nanbei died. All that was left were the bare pear trees, which never blossomed no matter how carefully he took care of them.
Sitting on the steps, looking at the stars in the night sky, there were two wine jars beside him. He never liked drinking. This was the first time he drank. He just took a few sips and put them there, rubbing the jade pendant in his hand.
Sent by Gansui.
The jade pendant is bright and flawless, like a deceased person.
"When did you learn to drink alone here?" Yan Ruiyuan came over with two jars of wine, "I went to the medicine furnace to look for you just now, and the medicine boy said you weren't there. There was no candle burning in the sky. Guess
You will be here."
Yan Ruiyuan strolled up to the young man, opened a jar of wine, and said, "Gansui came here today to let you return to Ji's family?"
"Yes." Ji Yannuo raised his head and took a sip of wine, and the spicy taste spread to his body, "Uncle Liu already knows about the affairs in the capital, and Gan Sui came here this time to take away Xi'er and me."
"Do you want to go back?" Yan Ruiyuan asked coldly. Although Ji Yannuo was not Ji Nanbei's child, he was the true blood of the Ji family.
"Senior brother, do you want me to go back?" Ji Yannuo asked, tilting his head. He and Yan Ruiyuan grew up together, and he had considerable trust in this senior brother.
"Maybe returning to Ji's house is the best choice." Yan Ruiyuan looked at the starry sky above his head, "Actually, it doesn't matter where you go, as long as you and Xi'er are happy, the most important thing is, besides, no matter what happens, there is
I am here."
The young man's cold voice struck Ji Yannuo's heart. Yes, happiness is the most important thing, but there are other things that are more important to him than happiness.
"Okay." Yan Ruiyuan stood up, patted the dirt on his body, looked down at the young man and said, "Drink less, don't let Xi'er worry, go back and rest early."
After saying that, he turned around and left, walked to the door, and paused: "If you think about it, I will help you."
The sky was slightly bright, and there were birds chirping from the quiet Yaoyu Valley. A ray of sunlight filtered in through the window. The little girl on the bed was sleeping soundly. When she heard the movement outside, the little girl turned over and then sat down.
He stood up, rubbed his eyes, and said with a delicate voice: "Yuzhu."
"Miss, why are you awake so early?" Yuzhu heard the movement inside and opened the door, watching the little girl sitting up in a white underwear, with a few hairs on her head standing up rather naughtily. When she saw her
He walked in and yawned delicately, "What time is it now?"
"Mao Shi." Yuzhu stepped forward, tidied the bed, looked at the little girl's sleepy face, and asked, "Miss, sleep for another half hour. The slave girl will wake you up later."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore." The little girl shook her head and remembered that she and Ji Yannuo had not eaten together last night, so she asked, "Did brother come out of the medicine stove?"
"Come out, the young master came to see me after the girl went to bed." Yuzhu said while dressing Ji Mianxi, "The young master didn't seem to be in a good mood last night, please be good today."
"Are you in a bad mood?" Myolie finally opened her eyes and asked while putting on her clothes, "Why are you in a bad mood? Could it be that you have encountered some incurable disease?" She paused, "Could it be because of the Sixth Uncle Sect?
Someone is here? Are you making my brother angry?"
"Miss, don't think too much about it." Yuzhu pressed Ji Mianxi on the chair, picked up the comb on the side, skillfully gave her a double bun and inserted hairpins. The girl in the bronze mirror looked cute and cute.
She yawned delicately, took the cool handkerchief, wiped her face, and instantly woke up a lot.
"Let's go and have a look at my brother's yard." Daphne Flower Residence is located between Lingxiao's House and Lingyouzhai. Yan Ruiyuan's Lingyouzhai is on the left and Lingxiao's House is on the right. When choosing the yard, Yan Ruiyuan and Lingyouzhai
Ji Yannuo also wanted to live in Lingyouzhai, and Ji Nanbei even asked the two of them to compete.
As soon as she left the room, she heard the sound of sword practice in Lingyouzhai. Ji Mianxi held up her skirt and walked over. She moved a half-person-high ladder from a dark corner with familiarity. She put the ladder up with difficulty.
On the wall, he climbed up. The wall itself was not very high. Ji Mianxi stepped on the ladder, exposed his head, and watched Yan Ruiyuan practicing his sword under the peach tree in the yard.
This kind of scene was often seen in Yaoyu Valley before, as if nothing had changed.
As soon as the little girl came out, Yan Ruiyuan heard the movement. After practicing a set of smooth swordsmanship, he put away his sword and looked up at the little girl lying on the wall. There was a slight smile in his cold eyes, "
Xi'er, why did you get up so early today?"
"Of course it's to watch my senior brother practice swordsmanship." The little girl's voice was crisp, like an oriole on the tree. She had two buns on her head, and the hairpin swayed as her head moved.
Yan Ruiyuan had long been accustomed to this girl's sweet words, and said with a smile, "Hurry down, be careful not to fall."
"I understand, senior brother." Ji Mianxi agreed, and then ran away quickly. Yan Ruiyuan shook his head fondly, put away his sword, and prepared to wash up.
Over there, Ji Mianxi had just finished watching Yan Ruiyuan practice his sword, and then went out to a distant place. Opening the door with familiarity, he saw Shang Lu cleaning the yard and Shang Zhi arranging herbs. The two of them saw Ji Mianxi's work stop.
, "Miss, the young master is still resting."
"It's already three o'clock in the morning. Why haven't you gotten up yet? The senior brother next door has already practiced the Liuyun sword technique." Ji Mianxi put his hands behind his back and said in a mature manner, "Isn't my brother just being lazy? You guys stay busy while I go in."
have a look."
Yuzhu was about to stop him, but Ji Mianxi slipped in like a loach. After all, the two of them have grown up and cannot be as careless as they were when they were children.
Ji Mianxi walked into the room and saw a person lying vaguely on the bed. She picked a leaf from the vase on the table and walked in quietly.
Opening the bed curtain, Ji Yannuo was sleeping soundly, lying down with his eyes slightly closed and breathing smoothly, "Brother." Ji Mianxi called out in a low voice. Seeing that there was no movement on the bed, she climbed up without taking off her shoes.
Just as he was about to use the leaf in his hand to do something bad, his hand was suddenly grabbed. Ji Mianxi was startled. The boy who was still sleeping with his eyes closed now looked like he was half asleep. His eyes were clear, so he was awake.
"Brother, you're lying!" The little girl was caught doing something bad. She didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, she accused her of lying.
Ji Yannuo turned over and sat up, patted the little girl on the head, and said with a smile, "You are a little girl who is planning to cause trouble. If someone catches you, you will be beaten up."
"Brother, when did you wake up?" Ji Mianxi climbed out of bed and watched the boy put on his shoes. The boy walked to the cabinet, found a light blue brocade robe and put it on, "I woke up when you entered the yard."
Shang Lu had already prepared the face wash. Ji Yannuo twisted a clean handkerchief and wiped his face clean. He turned around and saw the little girl looking at her clothes hanging on the screen with disgust, and said, "Brother, what happened yesterday?"
Did you overturn the wine jar? Why does the smell of alcohol on your clothes be so strong?"
Ji Yannuo touched his nose angrily, coughed slightly and said, "I accidentally knocked over the wine jar yesterday and stained the wine." Then he motioned to Phytolacca to take it out.
"Xier, from now on you can't break into your brother and senior brother's room without permission." Ji Yannuo taught his sister a lesson as he walked, "Do you know what the difference between men and women is?"
"But you are my brother?" the little girl said innocently, "I often went into your room when I was little."
"What's wrong?" Yan Ruiyuan had already placed the dishes and chopsticks and was waiting for the brother and sister to come over. Ji Mianxi ran to the stool next to Yan Ruiyuan and sat down.
"It's nothing." Ji Yannuo shook his head helplessly, planning to teach his sister slowly.
Who knew that the little girl was still a little aggrieved, "Senior brother, my brother said that I can't enter his room at will from now on. Do you think it's strange or not? We are all a family, so there is nothing to care about."
"You still said that!" Ji Yannuo glared at his sister and said, "I haven't settled the accounts with you about you climbing into my bed today."
Hearing this, Yan Ruiyuan's face darkened, he took the bun from Ji Mianxi's hand and said in a cold voice: "How many times have I told you, senior brother, that you are not allowed to go to Hexuan and I's bed casually in the future? How come you forgot again?"
Already?"
"Senior brother, why are you so mean?" The little girl lost her temper. She felt that her senior brother and her elder brother both despised him. She threw away the chopsticks in her hand and said, "If you don't want to be served, I won't be served. I don't care!" She turned around and ran away.
"Senior brother, tell her slowly, why are you yelling at her?" Ji Yannuo looked at his sister distressedly and stood up to coax her.
Okay, the bad guy made him do it again. Yan Ruiyuan sighed, this little girl is really spoiled, it seems that she needs to be talked to.
After a while, the brother and sister walked back happily holding hands. It has to be said that Ji Yannuo was good at coaxing children. Before Yan Ruiyuan could say anything, the little girl ran over by herself, looking magnanimous.
He said like this: "Brother, I won't blame you."
Yan Ruiyuan just thought it was funny, nodded and said, "Senior brother was wrong just now, can we eat now?"
"Okay." The little girl was a little too good. Yan Ruiyuan looked at Ji Yannuo, how on earth did this guy coax this little girl to be so good in the blink of an eye.
Ji Yannuo gave him a proud look and refused to tell anyone about the secret of coaxing his sister.
Yan Ruiyuan used his chopsticks to pick off the bun on Ji Yannuo's chopsticks and took a big bite. The three siblings had a happy breakfast.
"Xier." Ji Yannuo and Yan Ruiyuan looked at each other, looked at the little girl lying on the railing and said, "Tomorrow we will go back to Ji's house."
"Go back to Ji's house?" The little girl turned her head and asked curiously: "Why do you want to go back to Ji's house?"
