After listening to Yu Xi talk about the wine-making process for a long time, it was only halfway, and everyone couldn't help but be deflated. Only Yun'er found it interesting and admired Yu Xi's ingenuity, so she sighed with a smile on her face, looked her up and down with a gaze that seemed to be the first time she met, and said: "If I am a man, I just want to be a son-in-law in Wuxiang Mountain, and I will be content in this life." ”

was teased by her, and everyone bent over and laughed. Yu Xi was half shy, sneered, and then locked everyone out of the workshop and got busy in the house alone.

Murong Xue said to Yun'er and the others: "Don't bother her, whether this wine can be made before Madame's birthday depends on the next few days." ”

Yun'er raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, this kind of brain-consuming work, we ordinary people are looking at it in vain." As he spoke, he saw Sima Chun coming over from the room, looking idle.

"Brother Sima, can you tell me what valuable gifts you have prepared?"

Sima Chun was thinking about other miscellaneous matters, and was suddenly stopped by her, and couldn't help but be stunned, and walked straight over.

"It's nothing, your sister Murong and I were originally in exile here, and it is already a great fortune to have a place to stay, where can there be any precious utensils as a birthday gift for my stepmother, but it is just a jade pendant. ”

When Yun'er heard this, she was interested, "It is said that gems and jade are produced in the Western Regions, and the things that the eldest brother carries with him must also be rare in the world, I don't know, can you show us conveniently?"

When everyone was told by her, they all began to coax with high spirits, surrounding Sima Chun in the center, and you and I couldn't stop talking about it.

Sima Chun is not a flamboyant person by nature, and he knows how valuable the gift he wants to give is, so he doesn't want to show it in front of everyone. Unexpectedly, Yun'er's words put him in a dilemma, in front of the juniors of these girls and scholars, blindly resigning seemed that he was not happy enough.

I had no choice but to untie a red gem from the waist inside my coat, put it in my hand, and put it in front of everyone.

When everyone saw it, they all marveled, the gem was about five inches long, in the form of a seal, the appearance was round and condensed, the inside was like blood flowing, and the outside was like beeswax to seal the face. Look closely at the dragon head carved on it, finely carved, not the hand of the famous can not be called, but a piece of excellent color of the blood gem.

Sima Chun saw that everyone was different, so he knew that it was inappropriate, and was about to put away the jade, but he saw Yun'er low his eyebrows and pondering, without saying a word, and the clouds of sorrow condensed on his forehead, as if he had something on his mind.

"Miss Yun, do you have any questions?"

Yun'er laughed and said, "There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Since you call me Brother Sima, what else can't you ask! But it's okay to say it!"

Yun'er saw that there were many people on the left and right, and she was a little jealous in her heart, her eyebrows turned, and she smiled: "It's nothing, there are countless treasures in the West, although this piece of jade is precious, but in the Western Regions, which is rich in gemstones, it can be regarded as unremarkable, no wonder Brother Sima is reluctant to take it out." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and asked Murong Xue again, "I heard that my sister has a luminous cup, which can only be locked in the house to watch, I wonder if it may let me take a look?"

Murong Xue heard her tone change sharply, and must have guessed what she meant, although she didn't have the luminous cup for this, but she said it for a reason, so naturally she couldn't make a mistake. So he pretended to lament, and said: "Your news is really well-informed, nothing can escape your ears!" Then, as soon as the voice changed, he lowered his eyebrows and said: "It's not a rare thing, but it can't be held in broad daylight, and it must be ......."

Xing'er had already seen through the minds of the two, how could she not mention the reason for her to play a round? So she said to everyone: "This day I ran around with the girl, I have seen what I should see, I still have to do the work that should be done, and the long-eyed baby can't be eaten as food, so it's all gone." ”

She is the oldest among the girls, and everyone can be convinced of her ability to observe words and feelings, and when she said this, everyone had nothing to look forward to, and they dispersed.

At the moment, there was an empty courtyard, and there were only three of them.

Sima Chun asked, "I look at the girl's expression, and it seems that I have some concerns, is there something wrong with this piece of jade?" As he spoke, he took out the piece of jade again.

Yun'er took it in her hand, observed it carefully, frowned, and nodded: "It's too similar!"

"What is too similar?"

Yun'er didn't answer directly, and then asked, "Where did you get this piece of jade?"

Sima Chun was stunned for a moment, his eyes never left Yun'er's face, "For as long as I can remember, this piece of jade has been worn on my body, and my father said that it was handed down from my ancestors, so I didn't dig deeper, and I haven't taken it seriously all these years." I don't know how the girl recognizes it, what you said is too much, what is it like?

"Well, no one dares to talk about this anymore. ”

Yun'er let out a long sigh, staring at the irregular fracture marks at the back end of the jade.

"Brother Yi also has a piece of this jade! But unlike you, his one is carved with a tiger, and yours is a dragon. "315 Chinese Net

Sima Chun heard this, and laughed: "What was I doing at the time, it turned out to be this?"

Yun'er said: "Of course it's more than that, otherwise, I won't break up everyone." ”

"And what else?"

Yun'er paused, and said with a solemn expression: "I heard that such a jade, Brother Zhou Sheng also has a piece of ......."

"Zhou Sheng?"

Sima Chun was taken aback and involuntarily screamed.

"When I was in Changsha, I heard Mr. Gongsun say that Zhou Yi originally had a twin brother who was ...... when he was one year old."

Yun'er nodded and said in a low voice: "It's because of this incident, so everyone is secretive, just now I broke them up, I was afraid that it would reach my aunt, and it would only make her sad." ”

"It's all a coincidence, jade objects of similar shape, when I was in Zoroastrianism, every year I would receive some precious jade objects collected by the people who gave gifts below, and many of them had such a texture. ”

That being said, my aunt just couldn't see it, and every time she thought of it, she would hide alone and weep silently. I heard Master Tai say that when Zhou Sheng's brother was taken away, he carried that jade plaque with him. Later, he was buried in the wolf's belly, and his aunt found it in the end, but she didn't even find the only token that was used as a memory. Every time my aunt thought of him, she would be sad for a while, and over time, the piece of jade on Brother Yi's body didn't dare to wear it for a long time, lest she see it. ”

"Does Zhou Yi also have such a piece on his body?"

Yun'er thought for a while, and said, "I'm not sure, I saw his piece once when I was a child, but it's not exactly the same as yours, it seems to have a tiger carved on it." But it's best not to give it away, lest it remind her of the past. ”

Sima Chun nodded again and again, he gladly responded to this matter, but he did not delve into the origin of Zhou Yi's piece of jade and the one on his body.

==***==

More than 20 days have passed in a blink of an eye, and it has reached the fifth day of the first month of March, and three days later it will be Zhang Yufu's birthday.

Yu Xi and Murong Xue dug out the wine jar buried in the ground one by one, peeled off a layer of soil outside the wine jar, and a fragrant aroma of koji hit their faces. The two of them were very excited, carefully cleaned the wine jar, and then filtered out the clean wine with clean gauze, and put it in another ten clean wine jars, and the mouth of the jar was covered with a layer of lotus leaves, and it was heated in the fire for a moment, commonly known as hot wine. Then the jar was buried deep in the ground, and it was dug up at noon three days later.

At that time, there were ten jars of Qinghe wine, and until the start of Yufu's birthday banquet, the soil on the wine jar had not been removed, so the gift list sent to Yufu read: Newly brewed unopened Qinghe wine, Hibiscus drunk, ten altars.

In the blink of an eye, in the evening, Zhou Yi's pre-arranged restaurant was in her mother's courtyard, in a hall in the wing room on the left. However, at that time, Zhou Shiya's 100 days had not passed, and there were still filial piety rites in the entire Baihe Mountain, so Zhou Yi only asked people to receive gifts from a few younger generations who were relatively close, and others were not among the invited guests.

That night, all the people who invited the banquet arrived early, Zhou Yi according to his mother's arrangement, she boasted that she was still young, and the birthday banquet should be simple, and all the birthday gifts were also transcribed and handed over.

At the banquet, Zhou Yi stood in front of his mother, picked up the gift list and read it to a few familiar people: Sima Chun, what he gave was the secret music of the Gongsun family. Zhou Yi, Xiao Seal hand-copied the "Book of Filial Piety". Yu Xi and Murong Xue, newly brewed ten jars of hibiscus drunk. Yan Zhongyu, Zitong Hanging Shouqin. Yue Yun, Dragon and Phoenix Dynasty Shoujin. Zhou Yan beat Sima Chun's score with Zhong Yu's qin.

Yufu listened to the gift list, was very happy, and praised their brother and sister, saying that they were understanding, but they didn't give Zhou Yi a good look. Zhou Yi didn't know what was wrong, so he bent over and smiled, and asked: "Brother Yan has a good hand on the piano, and today there is a music score given by Brother Sima, I have seen it, pure and elegant, Yamato today's scene, if my mother doesn't mind, why don't you let him dedicate a song to cheer up my mother?"

"Okay, although Yan'er is small, she can understand people's preferences, but what about you? No matter how complete a copy of the Book of Filial Piety is, what is the point of only talking about it?"

Zhou Yi's face was red, she looked back and thought about it, Zhou Yi had already blamed herself for his master's affairs, and at this time, a copy of "The Book of Filial Piety" aroused her many worries, and she couldn't help but say a few more words to him, and for a while, her heart was also a little blocked.

Zhou Yi was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Do you want to bring the lotus wine that Miss Yu and Miss Murong personally brewed for their mother?"

Yufu said: "I will be content if her sisters have a heart, but today is a vegetarian feast, and everyone should not drink." I've heard of all these jars of wine they make, and it's not bad. However, more than 20 days is far from enough, let it be left for a few more days, and wait until your master has passed 100 days. ”

Everyone received the order, and they all replaced the wine with tea, and raised three glasses in a row to celebrate her birthday.

The guqin was erected, and Zhou Yan used this qin to perform a song "Yuefu Song, Pavilion Banquet", with an ethereal sound and a quiet meaning.

The girls were also standing outside the door, but the magpie was ordered by Zhong Yu to come to the banquet, and stood behind her to drink wine, her eyes were fluttering, a vicious look, and she never left Yu Xi's dazed face.
