Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Ceremony from Afar
[Ran^Text^Library] Ji Jing followed Qin Qi away, Wu Shan sent Begonia and them to the capital, Zi Su and Steward Yuan went to the fields to collect rent, and the courtyard quieted down.
Glancing at the green lotus seeds drunk on the tree, Gu Xinyue casually put on a cloak and quietly went up the back mountain alone.
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, the colors in the forest become more abundant, and the layers of red leaves, golden fruits, and brilliant wildflowers are all showing their last vigorous vitality in the autumn sun.
And the fallen leaves also fell.
Accumulated a layer on the ground.
Gu Xinyue stepped on the yellow and crisp fallen leaves, listened to the creaking sound, and walked up the mountain step by step.
Out of the boundary of the Zhuangzi woodland, the scenery in the forest becomes more colorful, and the vines and plants climbing on the thick trunks hang heavy fruits, purple and red, golden, and pleasing to the eye.
With picking a handful of purple fruits, Gu Xinyue climbed directly to the top of the mountain while eating.
The mountains of Lingshan are undulating, and the mountain where Zhuangzi is located is just a small hill, and there are higher, bigger and deeper places behind it.
Gu Xinyue glanced at the secluded and deep mountain, turned around, and looked down from the top of the mountain.
Beneath the dense tung forests and fruit forests is the eaves of the Zhuangzi, and further down is a golden valley, and down the valley is the clear and agile Wuzhang River.
That piece belongs to you.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Xinyue threw the last fruit into her mouth and said softly, "Happy birthday." ”
After getting all the memories, she found that the original person's birthday was actually the same day as herself, and today, it was their common birthday.
Since the age of ten, she has not had the habit of celebrating her birthday, and she struggles to survive alone, and in the midst of those thrills, she has long forgotten this day.
If it weren't for the anticipation and importance of this day in the original memory, she wouldn't have remembered this day.
Fifteen years old and the day of the fire.
In this world, this day means that a woman becomes an adult, it means that a woman can marry and start another life, and it is the most important day for a woman.
It should have the most formal and noble gift.
The blessings of the elders, relatives and friends, the praise of the friends in the boudoir, the three and nine ceremonies, the nine ceremonies, the girl's life, even more than the day of the day when she got married.
But no one knows or remembers, except herself.
The woman's birthday is a secret, Qin Qi Caiwei and they don't know the normal, and it is expected that no one in the Gu Mansion will remember it, but the biological mother who is located in the far South China Sea did not say a word.
"Don't be sad, I'm with you." Facing the original body, but also to herself, Gu Xinyue smiled lightly.
Stretching out his hand, he hugged the mountains and forests dyed with a faint slanting glow, Gu Xinyue said with a low smile: "Why do you need others to bless and witness, Gu Xinyue, you are still here, and you are still alive, it is the best." ”
The sunset shines obliquely, and the sunset will smudge the mountains and forests a little bit, making the thick ink and heavy color more dazzling.
The plain white skirt, the silver-gray cloak, the long black hair was tied into a bunch and hung behind her, the wind blew slowly, blowing the ripples in her dress, the green silk fluttered, and the graceful figure of Tingting standing on the top of the mountain became the finishing touch in the mountains and forests.
People couldn't take their eyes off it and stopped.
"Yawn!" A fierce sneeze came out, and Gu Xinyue suddenly realized that she had actually stood for a long time, looking at the sky, and if she didn't go down the mountain, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to go back, so she hurriedly lifted her skirt and turned around to run.
But after turning around, he paused.
Just a few meters behind her, under the tall pines and cypresses, stood a man.
Black clothes and white belts, black hair like ink, tall and strong, tall and pine, that is, the clothes are covered with heavy dust, and the hair is also messy, and it does not hide the cold demeanor, handsome and beautiful.
It was on the cliff, and the forest behind him was deep, and the sunset shone obliquely down from the cliff, covering him with a layer of golden red.
made him like a famous sword about to be sheathed, dyed with blood, sharp and sharp, but with warm pity.
"Brother?" Gu Xinyue looked at the person in front of her in shock, called out in disbelief, and rubbed her eyes suddenly, afraid that the person in front of her was her own delusion.
The boy didn't speak, just opened his arms with a smile that bloomed a little bit on his face.
"Brother!" screamed, Gu Xinyue let go of her skirt, and before she had time to think about anything, she had already thrown herself into the young man's arms.
In half a year, the boy has grown taller, even his chest is much thicker and stronger, his clothes are dusty, and there is a faint smell of blood, but the warmth of his chest is the same as before.
Gu Mohan folded his arms together, hugged the little man who rushed into his arms tightly, his arms were strong, he directly picked her up, turned around on the cliff, and when Gu Xinyue giggled in surprise, he said: "Xinyue, happy birthday!" ”
"Brother...... You? Gu Xinyue was surprised, and her heart moved slightly.
I only received a letter from Gu Mohan a few days ago, and the letter did not say that he would come back, and if he knew that he was coming back, Qin Qi should not leave.
He is......
Putting Gu Xinyue down, holding her waist with one hand and letting her sit down on a stone next to her, standing behind her, Gu Mohan took out a wooden comb from his arms and untied the hairband on Gu Xinyue's head.
The head full of green silk poured down and slipped from Gu Mohan's fingertips, wisps by wisp, with the meaning of flying.
"Brother?" Gu Xinyue was puzzled and wanted to turn back, but Gu Mohan pulled her head back.
The wooden comb passed through the hair, and once and for a while, the movements were unfamiliar and gentle, and Gu Mohan's voice carried solemnity and prayer, echoing in the forest and the earth.
"Heaven and earth, mountains and rivers are praised, trees and flowers are guests, all things in the world are evidenced, the Gu family has a woman who is happy, today and adults, heaven and earth are protected, the sun and the moon are cared for, a smooth life, longevity and health, a long life of 100 years old, and a full house of children and grandchildren."
When the last word fell, Gu Mohan pulled Gu Xinyue's long hair into a simple bun, took out a crystal clear jade flute from his arms and inserted it into her hair.
"Xinyue, congratulations on your adult today." Fingers lingered in her hair for a while, and Gu Mohan said in a low voice: "Forgive brother, I can't give you a ......"
"Brother!" Gu Xinyue raised her hand and pressed his hand, raised her head slightly, and looked at Gu Mohan: "This is the best!" The best gift of time! ”
Those who praise heaven and earth, take all things as guests, and have a sincere heart.
Gu Xinyue smiled, but tears appeared in her eyes, and she said softly, "Thank you, brother." ”
The girl has grown up a lot, not only in height, but also in facial features that have opened a lot, light eyebrows like paintings, face like peach blossoms, under the small nose is ruddy and cute slightly upturned cherry lips, a pair of apricot eyes sparkling, tearful and smiling.
Gu Mohan's heart, like a deer, was pounding.
