Chapter 55 Birthday Celebration
On the shore of Jingming Lake in June, there are lush willows and lush green grass on the ground. The peonies on both sides of the path on the rockery are red and dazzling, and they are in full bloom. There was a light rain this morning, and the flowers are dotted with water droplets. Gorgeous!

Around the side of the water pavilion, there are purple jade lotus, which is said to be a heterogeneous species that Fanbang paid tribute to. The flowering period is earlier, and it is already in full bloom at this time. The flowers and leaves are not like lotus flowers hanging on the lake, but as if they were scattered in the lake. , Floating on the water, the color is bright red and the petals are exquisitely compact, just like the lanterns released at the night of the Lantern Festival!
Inside the waterside pavilion, Jiu Yuan stood against a railing, holding a jade flute in his hand and playing it by his mouth, the sound of the flute whirled and melodious in the lake and water with the wind.

Xia Zhi on the other side of Jingming Lake heard the sound of the flute, stopped and came to the lake to look far away. Looking through the lake and water, he saw a woman standing on the railing playing the flute in the waterside pavilion, it was Jiuyuan!Today she is not dressed in bright clothes like in the past, but wearing a wide-sleeved white dress, holding a jade flute, the blue silk behind her back is fluttering in the wind, the sleeves are decisive, and there is a faint voice in her ears, she feels that she is integrated with the lake and water , unlike mortals who seem to be able to ride the wind away at any time, they don't realize that they panic, they turn around and walk towards the water pavilion!
After entering the water pavilion, looking at Jiu Yuan's figure close at hand, my heart was at ease, and I didn't make a sound to disturb Jiu Yuan, so I sat down on the pear wooden stool in the water pavilion, laughing at myself, I didn't expect that one day he would Because I had an empty thought, I panicked!
He sat down and listened quietly to her playing the tune. She was playing "Bijian Liuquan".The bright moon shines among the pines, which means that the clear spring stone is flowing upwards.

I can give her anything in the world, but I can't let her go to live such a life. After she promised to me, she is destined to accompany me to stand in the most honored and coldest position in the world, and to be with me Take control of thousands of miles!
Jiu Yuan was engrossed in playing, but he didn't notice his arrival.a long time!After the song is over, she still can't comprehend the feelings in the song!When she came back to her senses, she turned around and saw Xia Zhi sitting in the water pavilion at some point, this was the first time she saw him these days!And he was also looking at himself, their eyes met each other, they were speechless!

In the end, it was Xia Zhi who smiled, pointed to the stool beside him, and said softly, "What are you doing stupidly! Come and sit down!"

"Ah?! Ah. Good!" Jiu Yuan came back to his senses, took a few steps to sit on the stool next to Xia Zhi, looked down at the wooden railing in front of him, and unconsciously stroked the jade flute in his hand with his fingers !
"I didn't even know that Jiu Yuan not only knew how to manage the house, but also played a good flute!" Xia Zhi looked at her, and said softly, this was the first time he saw her playing the flute, it was extraordinary, Even the noble daughters of aristocratic families lack this temperament in comparison!Just like a dusty pearl has been wiped off the dust, it reveals a gorgeous brilliance, which is eye-catching!

"Ah?!" Jiu Yuan was astonished, he didn't expect him to praise himself, and immediately said modestly in embarrassment: "You praised me! I just blow it up when I have nothing to do, it's not good!" She said so, but she I can't hide the joy on my face!

When she was in the business, her father taught her that learning music can not only cultivate the mood and relax the mind, but also hear a person's temperament from a person's music! , Music is the window to the soul!

At that time, she had just taken over the family business of the merchant, and was busy in various shops every day. How could she have time to sit down and learn musical instruments every day!But my father said that he should control the business, not be trapped by the business. The existence of the business is to serve her, so that she can live a better life. Don't give up the fun in life for the business, which is against him. Give the business to your original intention!
So she chose Xiao Xiao, which is easy to carry with her, so that she doesn't have to spare time to learn it. Whenever she has time, she can take it out and play with it. After a long time, it will be fine!

As if remembering something, she said again: "I heard that you came to Duanfangzhai two days ago, but something happened!" Originally, she wanted to ask him, but she thought that if there was something important, he would not fail to wake her up Then I left without looking for him!
Xia Zhi nodded slightly after hearing this, and said affirmatively: "Indeed! I don't have anything to do, I just went to see you, and saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't want anyone to disturb you!"

There is nothing wrong with her thinking about it!Then he said: "I haven't thanked you enough for helping me sort out the list of banquets! Thank you so much!" He did it all at once, and saved himself from having to revise it and copy it over and over again like in previous years!

Xia Zhi stared at her, and asked with a smile, "Just say thank you! If you want to say thank you, do something practical!"

Jiu Yuan was stunned when she heard that, she said it in a polite way, she didn't expect him to slip up like this, after all, this matter was to hold a birthday party for him, and now I have to thank him for working so hard for him he!

Then I heard him continue: "Why don't you give me a birthday gift when it's my birthday!" There was a little expectation in his voice!

I thought he was going to make some difficult request, but I didn't expect him to say this, and then subconsciously said: "I give you a gift every year on your birthday!"

"This time, you have to prepare the congratulatory gift yourself!" He said the word "in person" emphatically, don't just stuff him with something you don't know!

"Ah?! Okay!" Jiu Yuan was slightly stunned, and then agreed!In this way, he knew that the annual gift was not from her!

Originally, she also felt that there was something wrong with her doing so!Because not only him, but also the congratulatory gifts for the nobles of various families, she also asked Tan Se and the others to buy them, but when he directly pointed it out like this, she herself felt that what she did was indeed inappropriate!How can I say that I have been taken care of by him in Duanwang Mansion for the past few years, and my life is not bad. I feel sorry for him for doing this, and I feel a little guilty in my heart!
Seeing that she agreed, Xia Zhi was satisfied and showed a sincere smile!
Jiu Yuan looked at the smile on his face, Xia Zhi rarely had such a smile from his heart, it was like the warm winter sun broke through the ice, making people unable to look away!Jiu Yuan couldn't help being dumbfounded!
Then I heard Xia Zhi say: "I heard that the girl you saved last time came to visit you in the mansion a few days ago!"

Jiu Yuan nodded blankly: "Yes!" Is there anything wrong with this!

"You should also invite her to this birthday party! You have saved her life, and she won't harm you if you come here, even if you have more friends!" Xia Zhi said!

It's not easy for Niangui to be an orphan in the prime minister's mansion. If I invite her to a banquet and put her on the relative table, and others see her, if someone wants to bully her in the future, I have to be cautious!Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Okay!"

The two of them talked without saying a word, and it was rare to chat together in such a peaceful manner, until Zhang Xiu came to invite Xia Zhi, saying that he had something to deal with, Xia Zhi didn't leave!
