Chapter 4 Water Cloud Sky
Qingfeng Academy is located in the suburbs not far from the town, not in the downtown area, it will be raining, and there are no pedestrians on the wide bluestone road, a group of people simply let go of the horses and galloped, the families of Xiao Mishu in Handi Mansion are all wealthy families in the city, and the Xueyu Villa where Yun Tombsheng lives is outside the city, and a group of people finally separated on the street, braving the drizzle to go back to their respective homes.
Xueyu Mountain Villa is located on Luohuang Mountain outside Qingling City, Luohuang Mountain is divided into Luohuang Mountain Range and Luohuang Mountain, Luohuang Mountain is not particularly big, ordinary people can climb to the top of the mountain in one breath.
As for why it is called Luohuang Mountain, it is said that there was once a queen of a dynasty who suddenly fell ill and died when passing through this mountain, and the queen fell under this mountain, so this mountain was named Luohuang Mountain, which means the mountain where the phoenix fell.
There is also a theory that there are more than a dozen hills behind Luohuang Mountain, which are not very high, but they are like mountains that are continuous, just like the feathers of a phoenix, but these mountains are not very high, so they look like a falling phoenix.
After the cloud tomb was born out of the city, it was stormy all the way, and finally stopped at the foot of Luohuang Mountain, in front of him was a stone carved gate, or the gate frame, because it had no door, like an entrance to Luohuang Mountain left by the high wall built around Luohuang Mountain, and the four big characters of Xueyu Mountain Villa were written on the gate frame.
Stone lanterns are neatly arranged on the ground on both sides of the road in front of the villa, and the stone lanterns are lit with grease, and there is a small lampshade in the stone lanterns in order to prevent the candles from being blown out by the wind or getting wet by the rain.
The wall built by a huge stone encloses the whole Xiaoluohuang Mountain, there is an attic every dozens of zhang, or a small lookout, the solid stone wall and the sentry box one by one, make this snow and rain mountain villa as stable as Mount Tai.
Yun Tombsheng remembered what his sister said when she chatted with herself in the past, as long as you don't meet a super master, even if you come to 350,000 soldiers, don't want to take it down, at that time, I was still young, I only lived in this Xueyu Villa, thinking that the soldiers outside and the people in the villa are the same, thinking that how can you beat one out of ten people, even if you occupy the terrain and can resist ten people, how can we have three or five thousand people in the villa?
I always thought she was joking, until I went to Qingfeng Academy to study, combined with what I saw along the way, I knew that although there was no shortage of masters in this world, there were more ordinary people, and everyone practiced martial arts like in the villa, so I understood how even if there were 10,000 little white rabbits, how could they break through the defense laid by ten black bears hiding behind the rocks.
When he thought of his sister, Yun Tombsheng found that he seemed to miss her a little after only a day of not seeing her, I don't know if she thinks about herself, and who does she think of herself? When I was a child, I let myself call her mother, then I let myself call her aunt, and now I let myself call her sister, first as a son, then as a nephew, and now as a younger brother, what about the future?
Maybe it's because she sees that she is growing up, and she doesn't seem to be getting old at all, so it's too weird for a teenager of seventeen or eighteen to call a woman who is also only eighteen or nineteen called her mother, so she changes her name every time she grows up, so that outsiders look more normal.
Yun Tombsheng turned over and dismounted, and the two young girls in the gate heard the movement, greeted them with umbrellas, walked in front of Yun Tombsheng and said hello to the young master, and then handed the printed oil paper umbrella in his hand to Yun Tombsheng, and the other reached out to lead Yun Tombsheng's horse.
The boy looked up, the rain was already very small, such a season often has this kind of continuous rain, a while, a while, a little down, dripping, anyway, the body is wet, simply waved his hand, did not take the umbrella handed by the girl, the maid took two steps back in a funny way, did not say anything and followed the horse away.
Inside the gate of the villa is a large open space, and there are two attic-like houses on each side of the wall, and there is a platform directly above the gate that connects the buildings on both sides of the gate, and you can see the outside from the top of it, like a shrunken castle tower.
Directly in front of the clearing is a long stone paved staircase, leading to the top of the hill, for five or six people to walk side by side, on the left and right sides of the clearing are two roads attached to the wall, every other distance there is a lamp, the lamp hangs halfway up the wall, a little higher than most people, it looks very strange, like a lamp under an open umbrella, I don't know where it leads.
When Yun Tombsheng walked into the door, locked in front of the door on one side of the door, a black bear lying on his stomach like a buffalo raised his head, his eyes were green under the firelight, and he closed his eyes the size of the bottom of the bowl after looking at Yun Tombsheng.
At this time, two big wolf dogs the size of tigers ran out on the other side, one gray and one black, running and jumping around the cloud tomb, rubbing the cloud tomb with their heads, and barking a few times at the cloud tomb, and then chased and ran to play after the boy touched their heads.
Stepping on the bluestone step by step, the boy went up along the road, there are all kinds of trees on both sides of the steps, it looks like all black shadows at night, the wind blows, there seem to be countless figures shaking, if the timid may not dare to walk this road alone, fortunately, there are two stone lanterns standing on both sides of the stone steps in the next section, although it is not very bright, but it can illuminate a small place.
The mountain of Xueyu Mountain Villa is not high, all the buildings are built around the mountain, divided into three floors, the first layer is the flat land at the foot of the mountain, most of them are the residence of handymen and some guards, and there are also some places to store grain, raise horses, chickens, ducks and other animals.
The buildings on the middle floor are a little less, but there are more than a dozen courtyards, in addition to the library and the warehouse, there are some residences, inhabited by maids and some strange characters, among these people are strong men who practice martial arts, doctors who study medicine, blacksmiths who build weapons, and luthiers who play the piano very well......
There is only one small courtyard on the third floor, the name is Shui Yuntian, and there are only sisters and brothers in the small courtyard who live in Yun Tomb, Yun Qianyu, Yun Bailing and some maids.
Xueyu Villa has never been short of money, there are many shops in the city are the property of Xueyu Villa, including thousands of acres of fertile land around Xueyu Villa, and the owner of Xueyu Villa is only the eldest lady and the eldest young master, so the expenditure is not as much as those big families with a prosperous population, and the money is naturally slowly accumulated, and every pavilion in Xueyu Villa is refined into a work of art.
Yun Tombsheng soon came to the small courtyard on the third floor, and saw a light on the attic from a distance, which was the room where his sister Yun Yazhi lived, walked along the stone road for a while, stepped on the stairs with a sense of age, and the young man knocked twice in front of the door and pushed the door and walked in.
A woman was lying on the table under the window facing the door, the inky green silk was loose, she was wearing a white undershirt, she seemed to have been freshened up and ready to sleep, with high eyebrows, a pink mouth, and the fox eyes raised at the corners of her eyes were slightly closed and still seductive.
"Sister, I'm back, you go to bed." Yun Tomb gently pushed Yun Yazhi's shoulder, although the woman who fell asleep was not fat, but this shoulder was soft, and it was very comfortable to touch, many times as long as Yun Tomb came back late, Yun Yazhi would lie on the dresser like this and wait for him, even if he was sleepy, even if he fell asleep.
Yun Yazhi stood up with her arms propped up, sat with her head half-drooped, looked at Yun Tombsheng with confused eyes, and muttered, "I'm back." ”
"Well, I'm drenched in the rain, I'll go wash and go to sleep, you go to bed and sleep, I'll call you for breakfast tomorrow." Yun Tombsheng stretched out his hand and straightened the makeup mirror that Yun Yazhi had crooked on his stomach.
"Bang."
Without waiting for Yun Tombsheng to finish speaking, the woman went directly to the table, and the wet young man laughed dryly, turned around and went to the hanger at the head of the bed to take a cloak, and pinched it with slightly drier fingers to put it on her.
It seemed that she felt that there was an extra piece of clothing on her body, and the woman, who was as soft as a little milk cat, moved slightly, found a suitable place to continue to sleep, and the young man stood at the table and watched quietly, letting the time pass slowly.
For this woman who looks confused, Yun Tomb is grateful from the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid that she would have died in that tomb when she was two years old, not to mention that she has been so good to herself for so many years, and I don't know that the young man and woman who protect her are not her parents, if not, then where are their parents, if so, then are there other relatives in the family?
It's just that he is very grateful to Yun Yazhi and at the same time makes him a little puzzled is that he, like most of the people in Xueyu Villa, is an orphan who was picked up, but why among those people, the male will be trained as a guard, and the female will either be a maid or a female guard, but he is directly regarded as the eldest young master of Xueyu Villa.
Other children have to go through cruel training again and again since they were young, and then grow up slowly in the wind and rain, but they grew up in Yun Yazhi's personal care, and even before the age of twelve or thirteen, they never slept in a place other than Yun Yazhi's bed.
Why did Yun Yazhi choose him? Yun Tombsheng can't find the answer at all, talking about talent, he can only be regarded as an upper-middle-class posture, talking about appearance, although he looks good, but it doesn't mean that there is no one who is more handsome than himself, and he can easily find a bunch with Yun's elegant power, as for his life experience, he doesn't even know who his parents are, what kind of life experience can he have?
But Yun Yazhi is good to him for no reason, it is difficult to be true as Yun Yazhi said, she was her lover in her last life, and then she couldn't get together, so she wants to meet in this life, and then continue the fate of the previous life, this explanation Yun Tombsheng doesn't believe it at all, but she doesn't want to say more, and she is perfunctory every time.
Sighing slightly, the young man bent down and lowered his head to kiss the woman's loose hair, turned around and left the room, standing under the corridor in front of the embroidery building and looking out, the sky was still dripping with light rain, and Yun Tombsheng returned to the house to find an oil-paper umbrella.
Standing under the corridor of the courtyard, a big maid trotted out of the lighted room, and Yun Tombsheng said lightly: "I want to take a bath, go and prepare, and by the way, let Qianyu go and find my clothes." ”
"Young Master, wait a minute, I'll go prepare hot water and look for Lord Qianyu." The maid bowed slightly, and the subordinates couldn't look directly at the master, this is the rule of Xueyu Villa.
The maid trotted away, Yun Tombsheng walked around unhurriedly with an umbrella, and went to the capital for a while, and he hadn't been away from home for so long since he was a child, and he was a little reluctant to see anything for a while.
When he returned to Shui Yuntian after wandering around, several little maids had already prepared wooden buckets full of hot water in his room, and when they saw that Yun Tomb had arrived, they all bowed and withdrew.
