Substitute Attack and Scum Shou Your Majesty

Shi Yin thought, he should refuse without hesitation, he should.

But Aluan's eyes are still filled with water vapor, and the dampness is the trace left just now.

Shi Yin looked at A Luan, his throat moved slightly, and he said: "...OK."

A Luan immediately laughed.

Seeing A Luan's smile, Shi Yin couldn't think about anything else for the time being.

They got out of Merlin, the carriage was still waiting outside, the coachman was sitting on it and dozed off, when he heard the sound, he immediately jumped out of the carriage and stood respectfully beside the horse waiting.

Shi Yin looked around and saw no other cars.

He looked at A Luan, and asked calmly: "There is no one here because the plum trees are flourishing here?"

A Luan raised her face and looked at Shi Yin, she did not hide anything, she still had that innocent smile, and said, "If you are talking about the usual day - then of course there is, the plum scenery here is one of the best in the suburbs of Beijing, this forest owner It is also proud of it.”

"But today I've taken over everything here, so naturally there won't be any crowds."

Shi Yin smiled naturally and said, "You don't have to do this next time."

"The crowd is also a scene."

A Luan complied obediently and said, "Okay, I will remember."

The two got into the carriage, bumped all the way back to the city, and stopped at the back gate of Daxing Temple.

When the car came to a complete stop, Shi Yin wanted to get out of the car, but just as he got up, he was stopped by A Luan.

Shi Yin looked back: "What's wrong?"

"Shi Yin," Aluan tugged on the sleeve of Shi Yin's monk's robe, bit her lower lip, raised her head slightly to look at Shi Yin, her eyes were full of joy, "in five days, it will be my birthday! Don't forget to give me Get ready for the birthday party."

birthday?

Shi Yin smiled slightly, "Then let me wish you a happy birthday first."

A Luan immediately added it obediently: "There is also a birthday gift! I will come to get it from you on my birthday, don't forget."

Shi Yin frowned and said: "This... I'm afraid I can't come up with anything..."

He has been a monk since he was a child, and came to the capital alone, so he really has nothing.

And even if he didn't know the identity of A Luan, he should be a son of a noble family, no matter what rare treasures he gave, it should be commonplace for him.

Not to mention, he doesn't have these treasures yet.

A Luan didn't care, just said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as it's from you, Shi Yin, I'll be happy no matter what."

Shi Yin could no longer evade: "Okay."

After agreeing, Shi Yin got out of the car.

A Luan didn't go down any further, but lay down on the edge of the car window, lifted the curtain, waved at Shi Yin, and said, "I'll come to you in five days, remember to leave a door for me!"

Shi Yin nodded to him: "Okay."

Watching the car leave, Shi Yin went back to the monastery through the back door, and no one seemed to notice that he had left and returned.

Both Gui Yun and Gui Yu have not returned yet.

Shi Yin returned to the room, hung the cloak back on the shelf, sat down in front of the desk, ordered the table, thinking about A Luan's birthday five days later, and the birthday gift that should be given to him on that day.

He really has nothing.

There is nothing that can be given as a gift.

But A Luan asked for it, and he didn't refuse, so he should honor it.

Just as Shi Yin was thinking, he heard Gui Yun and Gui Yu's noisy voice outside again.

They were talking about the previous Wanshou Festival again. Five days later, the abbot of Daxing Temple wanted to send a scroll of handwritten Dharma scriptures to the emperor. He was very sincere.

Shi Yin thought, this is a coincidence, A Luan's birthday is also five days later.

But Aluan... he really is a son of a noble family - such a plum grove, he took it as soon as he said it.

But the birthday gift...

After thinking for a long time, Shi Yin finally remembered that he still had one thing that he could give to A Luan as a birthday present.

Shi Yin stood up and went to the cabinet, took out the bag he brought from Jinzhou, turned around and put it on the table and opened it. There were very few things in the bag, so Shi Yin found what he wanted easily.

A small sandalwood box.

The box is simple, yet exquisite.

Not something that a monk like him would have.

Shi Yin picked up the box, put his fingertips against the corner, opened it, and there was a piece of red jade lying quietly in the box.

Ruby is rare and hard to come by, but the quality of the ruby ​​in the box is even better, the red is transparent, without any impurities or turbidity.

It's just a little bit of a pity.

This piece of red jade is only half of it, and there is a section on the left side that is recessed.

Shi Yin put down the box, and stared at the red jade for a moment.

If it was given to A Luan just like this, it would be too rough, and if it was to be a birthday gift, it would need to be modified to some extent.

So, in the next few days, there was always the sound of jingling and chiseling in the abode.

Gui Yun and Gui Yu were also curious, but they didn't dare to ask further questions.

After the incident at the Lingxiang Pavilion last time, they became more distant from Shi Yin, and because Shi Yin handed over the dictionary, they were scolded by the hall master and uncle for a long time, and later became the abbot of the sect When they came, they were able to escape, or they didn't know how long they would be trained.

So Gui Yun and Gui Yu were only curious for a while, and then stopped thinking about it.

Fortunately, the sound was not loud enough to be heard outside the monastery.

Shi Yin was busy for five consecutive days, and it was not until the morning of the fifth day that he finished the decoration and put the red jade back into the small box.

With the birthday ceremony, Shi Yin is not in a hurry, just waiting for A Luan to come.

After noon, Aluan didn't come, Shi Yin was still not in a hurry.

With a status like A Luan's, it's only right that she couldn't get out of her body for a while because of the banquet.

Shi Yin casually ate lunch, and saw that the sky was getting dark again, looking at it, it seemed that it was going to snow again.

If it was going to snow, he couldn't do it either.

Shi Yin lit the lamp, didn't go to sit in meditation, just studied the chess record in the room, played against himself, occasionally glanced at the box at hand, killing time, waiting for A Luan to come.

After waiting for the whole afternoon, until the evening, the snow did not fall, and Aluan did not come.

Shi Yin was still sitting there waiting, holding the box in his hand.

In the evening, it was an hour past bedtime on weekdays.

Before Aluan came, the snow fell first.

The snow fell lightly, not loudly, without any sound. Shi Yin looked at it for a while, pulled the clothes on his body, closed the window, and sat back in front of the chessboard.

He had already washed up and was just waiting for A Luan.

But at this time, it was snowing again, A Luan probably wouldn't come.

After sitting for another half an hour, Shi Yin heard the sound of snow falling outside the house seemed to be a little louder, so he raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, stood up, no longer waiting, turned off the lights, he should go to sleep.

Shi Yin lay down on the bed, covered the quilt, and closed his eyes.

She looked like she was asleep, but Shi Yin wasn't asleep, she was just lying down, not counting as sleeping.

After lying like this for some time, Shi Yin suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, the sound was very soft, not even clearer than the sound of falling snow.

Shi Yin immediately opened his eyes and looked at the darkness of the room, thinking that he had heard wrong, so he held his breath and listened quietly.

Someone really was knocking on the door outside.

Shi Yin got up immediately, picked up his coat and put it on, lit a lamp, and walked over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Shi Yin saw A Luan wrapped in a jujube-colored cloak, still smiling, his cheeks were reddish from the cold, and said angrily: "Didn't you agree to leave a door for me? Are you going to sleep first?"

Shi Yin's heart was stirring, but his expression was calm: "You came too late."

"Yes, I came too late, I was wrong," Aluan pushed Shi Yin to go into the house, begging for mercy, "But it's really cold outside, let's go in first."

Shi Yin let him push, walked in the door, closed the door again, and blocked Fengxue from the door.

As soon as he entered the door, A Luan stretched out his hand to Shi Yin, and said with a smile, "What about my birthday gift?"

Shi Yin pursed his lower lip and said, "I said that day, I don't have anything to give you."

Hearing this, A Luan withdrew her hand, looked at Shi Yin with grievances, and said unhappily: "Then... you can at least write the character for longevity, isn't it okay?"

Shi Yin suddenly felt that the boredom accumulated all afternoon had disappeared, but he didn't show it. He still had that faint look on his face, and asked, "I'm writing now, do you want it?"

A Luan curled her lips and said, "Yes, I'll watch you write."

Shi Yin really walked up to the desk, spread out the paper, picked up a brush to moisten the ink, and then raised his wrist to write.

A Luan followed him and stood beside him, watching him finish writing, a little unbelievable: "You, did you really just write this one word?"

Shi Yin turned his head to look at him, with an indistinct smile floating in his eyes: "Don't you want it?"

"Yes, of course I have to!" A Luan hurriedly said, "I pushed a lot of people, and it was snowing all over the sky outside, just for this one word, how could I not want it?"

"And as soon as I take it back, I'll ask someone to frame it and put it on the bedside, so I can watch it every day."

Shi Yin finally laughed and asked, "Do you watch it every day?"

A Luan nodded and said, "That's right, my 17th birthday gift, what a precious birthday, I, the birthday star, came here to get it myself."

17 years old ...

Shi Yin glanced at A Luan's face again.

This face is too young, it looks much younger than 17 years old.

A Luan didn't care about Shi Yin, and bowed down to blow the ink, as if he really took this word as a birthday gift, he only blew twice, and suddenly a hand stretched out in front of his eyes, holding a small box in it.

A Luan didn't go to take it, she just followed her hand up to look at Shi Yin, with hope in her eyes: "This, it's..."

Shi Yin smiled and said, "It's a birthday gift, yours."

A Luan immediately squinted her eyes and laughed, very happy, picked up the small box, and said: "I knew Shi Yin that you are the best!"

Shi Yin withdrew his hand, didn't speak, just looked at A Luan with a smile.

A Luan opened the box excitedly, but when she saw the piece of red jade in the box, she paused for an instant, her smile froze, and her eyes were a little dazed.

Seeing this, Shi Yin asked, "What's wrong?"

A Luan immediately came back to his senses, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, but he didn't look at Shi Yin, only stared at the red jade in the box, and said: "It's nothing...I, I'm looking at the pattern on it, the carving is so beautiful, yes Did you make it for me yourself?"

Shi Yin also avoided A Luan's eyes, and lowered his eyes to look at the word he wrote: "Yes."

A Luan gently picked up the piece of ruby, and saw a lightly carved lotus on the jade tablet, lifelike, against the color of the jade, just like a red lotus in full bloom.

But what attracted his attention more was the depression on the left side of the red jade: "This jade..."

The author has something to say:

Shi Yin: I am a craftsman.

Aluan: Harvest key props × 1.
