In a large garden of a huge mansion, all kinds of strange flowers and plants could be seen everywhere. Among them, there were many extremely precious and extinct species on the market. If someone who knew the value of the flowers and trees entered, they would definitely be shocked beyond measure. The value of the flowers and trees in this entire garden was simply immeasurable!
The most peculiar thing was that in this open-air garden without any special equipment or greenhouse heating, many flowers that should have withered in this cold winter were in full bloom. Some trees that should have withered were still lush and green.
In the middle of the garden was a rather large pond. In the middle of the pond was an extremely classic double-story hexagonal wooden pavilion. At this moment, the original color of the pavilion could no longer be seen because it was covered with a thick layer of snow. This was the accumulation of snow from the past few days.
However, after seeing the snow on the pavilion, if he were to look at the pond again, he would definitely have an extremely absurd feeling, because at this moment, the pond was actually blooming with many lotus flowers that could only be seen in the hot summer.
Snow in the winter and lotus flowers in the summer, appearing in front of him at the same time, it was impossible not to be shocked. This could be said to have completely violated the laws of nature, and science could no longer explain it.
At this moment, on the second floor of the pavilion, a few six or seven-year-old children were playing various musical instruments." Ding ding dong dong "," wu wu "... the sound of several musical instruments could be heard endlessly. The children didn't realize that the music they had "played together" could be said to be earth-shattering. They were still having fun.
Of course, there were exceptions. In addition to these seven or eight children playing, there was a child lying on the guardrail beside the pavilion. This child was about eight or nine years old. His skin was soft and fair, and he looked handsome. If he did not have the temperament of a little man, he would probably be mistaken for a girl. Who asked him to not only look like a girl, but also have waist-length hair, tied neatly with a light blue hair band.
The little boy did not have the slightest desire to play with the other four children, nor did he seem to be disturbed by the noise they made. He sat on the stool of the pavilion and rested his chin on his hands on the guardrail. He quietly looked at the pond below. Although he said he was looking at the pond, if one looked closely at his eyes, one would find that his eyes were completely unfocused. There seemed to be no trace of life in them. It was unknown what he was looking at. However, it was still a little strange for such a gaze to appear on an eight or nine-year-old child.
After a while, the seven children were either tired or lost interest. They gave up on playing the instruments and ran to the guardrail. They imitated the little boy and sat on the bench with their bodies leaning on the guardrail. However, they were shorter than the little boy, so they couldn't reach him at all. In the end, they had to kneel on the stool board before they could lean on the guardrail and look down.
However, they lost interest after less than a minute. Instead, they looked at the little boy. They were puzzled." There's nothing else down there besides lotus flowers and water. What's there to see?'As for the problem of lotus flowers blooming in winter, which was against common sense, in their opinion, it was not a problem at all since it grew in the Ji family.
On the left side of the little boy, a chubby little girl stretched out her chubby little hand and waved it in front of the little boy's eyes. Seeing that the little boy did not react, she reached out her hand and pinched the little boy's nose. She asked in a childish voice,"Brother Yun, what are you looking at?”
The little boy called Brother Yun did not raise his head. He continued to look down and slowly took out his right hand to hold the little girl's small palm. "I'm looking at the heart," she said softly.
"Heart?" The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while before shaking her head again."I don't understand."
"Of course you don't understand." At this moment, another little boy suddenly stood up and pointed at the little girl."Xiao Wu, do you know who Big Brother Ji Yun is?”
Seeing the little girl shake her head, he continued,"Don't say that you don't understand what Big Brother Ji Yun is talking about. Even many of the elders in the family can't answer Big Brother Ji Yun's question. First Grandfather had said that Big Brother Ji Yun was a genius that had not appeared in a thousand years. His literary talent and martial strategy were comparable to the Civil Star and the Martial Star.”After saying that, the little boy raised his head high as if he was talking about himself.
The little girl called Xiao Wu and the other children looked at Ji Yun with admiration. Elder, that was such a strict person. In the eyes of the children, he was no different from a devil. However, those elders were also very powerful. It was as if they knew everything. If Big Brother Ji Yun could make them unable to answer the question, then how powerful was he?
"What are Civil Star and Civil Star?”Suddenly, Xiao Wu tilted her head, asking the little boy who raised his head.
"Eh? " This…" The little boy scratched his head. He had only heard it when the adults were talking. How could he know anything about literature and martial arts? All of them could not come up with an explanation for a long time, and they were even more embarrassed after being laughed at by their friends.
Ji Yun looked up and smiled, his eyes filled with nostalgia. Looking at these playmates from his 'childhood', and thinking about his body as a child who was only seven or eight years old, Ji Yun sighed inwardly,' This feels so good.'
Ji Yun was still holding Xiao Wu's small hand, and he used his other hand to pinch Xiao Wu's chubby little face, smiling as he said,""I told you guys to read books non-stop. Wenquxing and Wenquxing are not anything. They are immortals in the sky, and very powerful immortals.”
"Oh oh." The children nodded vigorously. Although they still didn't know what literature and martial arts were, it was enough for them to know a little. Literature and martial arts were gods. As for what immortals were? They knew this. Their ancestors were immortals. They could fly in the sky and hide in the earth. They were omnipotent. In any case, they were very powerful.
Ji Yun stood up and looked at the instruments that had been messed up. Any one of these historical masterpieces was priceless, but they were treated like this by a few children. If the artists outside knew about this, they would be furious. Ji Yun shook his head and scolded with a smile," Hurry up and tidy up your instruments. I'll teach you a lesson when I find out."”
The children's expressions changed when they heard the term 'aunt', and one by one they hurried to sort out those instruments, making Xiao Wu giggle. On the other hand, Ji Yun was not surprised by this. In the Ji Family, the name of his aunt, Ji Xueqin, had long reached the point where one's expression changed at the mention of her.
Ji Xueqin was a talented woman of the Ji Family. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so she was in charge of teaching the children of Ji Yun's generation literature and art. But at the same time, she was also a strange talent. Although she was proficient in literature and art, she did not have the gentleness and kindness of a talented woman. Her temper was extremely strange. Not to mention these children, even those old men had a headache over her. It could be said that everyone in the Ji Family would stay as far away from Ji Xueqin as possible when they saw her. Of course, other than Ji Yun, he was the only one who could get close to her without being " persecuted." Regarding this, the Ji Family could only explain that they were both existences with great wisdom and almost demons, and had a common prophecy.
"When you're done tidying up, go back to the front hall first. There's a big family gathering tonight.”Ji Yun said to the children, then hugged Xiao Wu with one hand and jumped out of the pavilion, falling straight down. The moment he landed, a huge force came from the ground, but it was offset by the internal strength he had gathered under his feet.
The children turned their heads when they heard Ji Yun's words and happened to see Ji Yun jumping off the pavilion with Xiao Wu. However, the children were not surprised at all. They did not think that it was inappropriate for an eight-year-old child to jump down from a height of seven to eight meters while carrying a six-year-old girl.
"Big Brother Ji Yun ran away with Xiao Wu again. How cunning!”A little girl pouted and said, causing all the children to nod their heads. It seemed like this wasn't the first time Ji Yun had done something like this.
Ji Yun placed Xiao Wu on the ground, but he didn't let go of her small hand. He just held her hand and walked forward.
He brought Xiao Wu through several courtyards and arrived at the center of the Ji Family. Here was a twenty story high pavilion. A house with more than 20 floors was an inconspicuous building in the city outside, but in the Ji family, where the highest building was only three floors, it was already the tallest.
Although this pavilion was not a forbidden area in the Ji Family, it was definitely an important place. Non-core members could not approach it. However, because of Ji Yun's presence, neither the bright nor dark guards stopped the two children from entering.
Ji Yun brought Xiao Wu all the way up to the jade pavilion on the highest floor of the pavilion. From here, one could take in the beautiful scenery of the entire Ji Family, which far surpassed that of the various gardens of the Celestial Empire. Moreover, because the Ji Family was built on the peak of the mountain, they could even see the surrounding landscape at a glance.
"Wow, so beautiful!" Xiao Wu was clearly still coming to this place for the first time, running to the left, then to the right, overlooking this infinitely beautiful scene with a face full of surprise and amazement.
Looking at Xiao Wu's cheerful face, Ji Yun also revealed a knowing smile, but those clear black and white eyes were filled with deep sadness and longing.‘Xiao Wu, I really miss you, I really miss the time you brought me here to watch the sunrise and sunset.'
Xiao Wu, whose full name was Gongsun Lewu, was originally a member of the Gongsun family's collateral bloodline, but when she was young, she was tested to have extremely high talent, so she was absorbed into the Gongsun family's direct descendants. But later on, the elders of the Gongsun family and the Ji family came together and sent Xiao Wu to the Ji family.
That year, Ji Yun was only four years old, and Gongsun Yuewu was two years old.
Although Ji Yunnian was only four years old, he was very clear about the purpose of the two elders 'actions. They wanted him and Xiao Wu to be together. In fact, this practice had been going on for a long time. The two families had been passed down for countless years, with many bloodlines and a large number of members. Therefore, the two families would choose pairs of boys and girls who were the most talented and not related by blood in the same age group. They would let the two grow up together and strive to be together when they grew up. This way, the chances of giving birth to excellent offspring would be very high.
This was how Ji Yun's parents got together, and the Ji Yun they got was indeed a monstrous genius. Of course, the two families were still very open-minded and would not force it. The final decision was still in the hands of this man and woman. For example, Ji Yun's aunt, Ji Xueqin, was originally the most talented person in the Ji Family's generation. However, in the end, she rejected the young talent from the Gongsun Family.
In his previous life, Ji Yun knew that he wouldn't live long, so he naturally wouldn't agree to this arrangement. So even though he didn't treat Xiao Wu coldly or estranged, it absolutely couldn't be considered good.
However, it was unknown if someone had said something to Xiao Wu, but she seemed to have set her mind on Ji Yun and always followed him silently. However, she was also well-behaved. She usually followed Ji Yun too closely, but when Ji Yun needed help, she would always be the first to appear. After so many years, Ji Yun was completely moved and accepted Xiao Wu's existence.
In the end, Gongsun Yuewu became a peerless beauty, while Ji Yun could no longer walk on his own. But even at this time, Xiao Wu didn't leave Ji Yun, still wholeheartedly taking care of him, helping him walk, pushing his wheelchair…It could be said that wherever Ji Yun appeared, Xiao Wu would definitely be there.
As long as the two of them were in the Ji Family, the place where Ji Yun and Xiao Wu spent most of their time was the jade pavilion above the pavilion. They enjoyed the scenery of the mountains and rivers together, watching the rising sun and setting moon, and admiring the stars in the sky. That was the happiest and most peaceful time in Ji Yun's previous life.
But in the end, Ji Yun didn't give Xiao Wu a title. He still harbored a sliver of hope that Xiao Wu would find happiness after he left. But Ji Yun knew that he had failed, because on his deathbed, he heard Xiao Wu crying and telling him that she was Ji Yun's wife, in this life, and forever!
Ji Yun didn't know what happened after that, but he had a very bad but most likely guess: Xiao Wu also committed suicide after her death.
Ji Yun knew Xiao Wu too well. With her personality, she would definitely do this. Therefore, Ji Yun was very regretful about this matter. At that time, he was too involved to see clearly and thought that not giving her a status was for her own good. But now that he thought about it, if he had truly accepted Xiao Wu, if he had entrusted her with this task before he passed away, she definitely wouldn't have done such a foolish thing.
Seeing that Ji Yun didn't say a word and his face was full of thoughts, Xiao Wu ran to Ji Yun's side and carefully asked,""Brother Yun, what's wrong? You seem unhappy?"
Ji Yun was stunned. He shook his head and said bitterly,""I'm fine."
"Oh." Hearing such an obviously two-faced answer, Xiao Wu didn't speak again, only silently standing by Ji Yun's side, stretching out her small hand to hold Ji Yun's hand.
Ji Yun's eyes turned hot, and he almost shed tears. He quickly turned his head away. In his previous life, whenever Ji Yun was disappointed, Xiao Wu would always hold his hand and quietly accompany him.
This scene was so similar!
"Xiao Wu, you are one of the two biggest flaws in my heart!”
