Chapter 462 Jiji Extra (5)
"Pei'er, come here." Gigi invited her to sit on the Eight Immortals chair beside her.
Xun Pei'er nodded and did as she was told. Her husband, like her parents, called her by her nickname, so he probably wouldn't blame her.
If you call her full name "Xun Pei'er", that would be the end.
"Pei'er, let me ask you, are you willing to marry me?" Gigi asked.
Willingly? It's not a question of whether a girl is willing to marry someone or not; it's all decided by her parents.
So is this voluntary or unwilling?
Pei'er nodded slowly. If she had no objection, it meant she was willing.
Seeing Xun Pei'er's hesitant answer, Ji Ji asked again: "Have you ever had a crush on someone?"
Xun Pei'er hurriedly shook her head.
This time she learned her lesson. Not only could she not admit that it was really gone, even if it was there, she couldn't admit it.
"If you could choose, would you choose to marry me?" Another question.
My husband is so annoying. They are all the same questions. Why do you ask them over and over again?
"I don't know. I've never seen you before." Xun Pei'er said honestly.
Seeing that her husband was about to ask another question, she quickly seized the opportunity: "If my husband could choose, would he choose someone else?"
After being cleverly tricked by Xun Pei'er, Ji Ji was stunned for a moment before smiling and saying, "I don't have a crush on anyone either, so I don't know."
Both of them laughed.
The originally solemn atmosphere became much more relaxed.
"What does Pei'er like to do?" Gigi asked, "There are not many people in my house, so there is nothing to do. If you tell me, I will be able to serve you."
Xun Pei'er showed an embarrassed expression: "Well, I usually like..."
"It's okay to be honest," Gigi comforted.
"I like to eat." Xun Pei'er said quickly in a low voice.
"Huh?" Gigi thought she had misheard.
"No, nothing!" It turns out that you can't tell the truth!
Seeing her aggrieved expression, Gigi was amused again: "Besides eating?"
Xun Pei'er really doesn't have any hobbies. She can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but none of them are what she likes. She is just forced to practice them.
If you want to say something you like...
"I like looking at the stars!" She blushed after saying this, as if she had said something very funny.
"Really? I like looking at the stars, too." Gigi turned her eyes away. "It's a pity I can't understand them."
"You don't understand? How can you not understand the stars! They are very beautiful!" Xun Pei'er said hurriedly, as if she was afraid that he would stop looking.
Gigi raised an eyebrow: "Can you read astrology?"
"Astrology?" Xun Pei'er had never even heard of it. "Anyway, I can understand it anyway!"
"Then will you teach me tonight?" Gigi was also very interested in how capable Xun Pei'er was.
"Okay!" Xun Pei'er was also very happy.
She used to like counting stars when she was at home, and she would even ask her sisters and maids to watch with her, but they just gave her a perfunctory response.
I didn’t expect that my husband likes it too...Is he lying to her?
…
In the evening, the two sat together for dinner.
Xun Pei'er usually chatters when she eats with her mother and sister, but she keeps quiet when she eats with her father.
Now I dare not speak in front of my husband.
What she didn't know was that Gigi also liked to talk, but she felt that Xun Pei'er came from a noble family and didn't want to appear vulgar in front of her.
They both finished eating in silence.
Xun Pei'er looked out the window from time to time, hoping that it would get dark sooner.
"Husband, it's time to look at the stars!" She finally waited until the time came and jumped around the room.
"Okay, let's go." Gigi smiled helplessly. This new wife really has a childlike mind.
"Hurry up!" Maybe because of the "interesting" chat they had in the afternoon, Xun Pei'er became more and more bold, and urged Jiji to get up.
Seeing that Jiji was still hesitating, she reached out to grab his hand and pull him out, just like she did with her sisters and maids in the past.
He woke up halfway through and quickly withdrew his hand.
Seeing this, Gigi reached out her hand and let her pull.
He didn't know why, but he didn't mind Xun Pei'er's behavior, which seemed disrespectful to her husband to outsiders.
Seeing Jiji stretching out his hand, Xun Peier did not dare to move forward and just grabbed his sleeve.
The two of them trotted all the way to the courtyard. Today the moon was dim and the stars were twinkling, which was a good day for observing the stars.
Gigi looked up, sighed, and shook her head.
He had sat in the yard countless times looking at the stars, trying to discern some meaning from the astrology books left by his ancestors. But not only could he not understand the books, he also couldn't understand the stars.
There are two stars here and three stars there. What is the connection between them and the "Guolao Star Sect" and "Seven Stars and Four Remainders" recorded in the book?
"It's going to rain tomorrow!" Xun Pei'er suddenly said while looking at the starry sky.
"What?" Guido was surprised. "How did you know?"
Xun Pei'er said with a smile, "Because I see a lot. The moonlight is not bright tonight, and there are not many stars, but they are still twinkling. It will rain tomorrow."
Using stars to predict the weather is the most basic part of Shen family astrology.
The original text in the book goes like this: "The appearance of hidden things early and late, evil and righteousness, existence and destruction, emptiness and reality, width and narrowness, and the movement of the five planets, their conjunctions, dispersions, violations, eclipses of the Big Dipper, comets and meteors, slight eclipses of the sun and the moon, halos on the back of the sky, rainbows, thunder and lightning, strange clouds and changes in the atmosphere: these are all the essences of yin and yang, which originate in the earth and rise to the sky."
Gigi recognizes every word in this sentence, but when they are put together, she has no idea what they are.
Xun Pei'er's words were simple and clear.
"Why will it rain tomorrow if there is no moonlight and not many stars?" he asked puzzledly.
"Well..." Xun Pei'er tried to explain the reason to her husband, "I found a pattern at first. As long as the moon and stars are dark together, it will rain the next day."
"So I speculated the other way around, because the sky is always cloudy when it rains, maybe the dark clouds are blocking the moon and stars, so it will rain tomorrow."
After saying that, he lowered his head awkwardly: "My guess may not be accurate."
"No, you are quite right." Guido thought for a moment.
He always felt that the stars were too far away and would have little connection with what would happen in the future.
For example, let's say A wants to know one thing, B wants to ask another, and maybe there are C and D... They are looking at the same stars. Will the stars give each person a unique answer?
This is obviously outrageous.
But after listening to Xun Peier's words today, I feel that astrology makes more sense and is based on facts. It is not completely nonsense.
Xun Pei'er was overjoyed to see that her words had some effect on her husband.
Not only did she become closer to her husband, but she also discovered that there were people in the world besides her who loved gazing at the stars.
…
That night, the two of them lay in the same bed again.
Originally, Jiji planned to let Xun Pei'er sleep alone in the bridal chamber, while she would sleep in the guest room, or stay up all night working in the study.
But when I thought about how doing so would hurt Xun Peier's heart, and she might cry all night, I couldn't bear it, so I went back to sleep.
As soon as he lay down, Xun Pei'er beside him began to beat wildly with nervousness, and even her body became stiff.
Apparently, he thought...
But now Gigi doesn’t have that impulse, nor is she in the mood.
He whispered to her, "Go to sleep," and closed his eyes.
