Butterfly [The Great Austrian Woman Version]

For the rest of the road, I don’t know whether it was because of the “high speed” or because Lai Fang had become numb to the scenery along the way. He just felt in a trance, and more than ten days passed.It may also be because she has something to do. Along the way, she carefully studied the "Ichimoku Tamahoko" bought from Otsujuku, and compared the map with the several books describing the region in her hand, and drew a comparison. Modern map.

When she showed the finished product to Arima, the latter was still shocked, and she suggested that Laifang draw a map of the entire country in the future.Lai Fang felt very satisfied. At that time, he said boldly that he would also draw a map of the sea area.Arima opened his mouth and swallowed back the words that hit her, but Madoka pointed it out unceremoniously, "Since the three generations of generals locked the country, what do you want this map of the sea area to do? Let's fight, the area map of the offshore area is redundant, whoever wants to see it."

It was the first time that Lai Fang was tormented by A Yuan's poisonous tongue, Yu Xumo was used to the poisonous tongue of the master and servant, he looked at the disappointed Lai Fang and smiled slightly. "Miss's paintings are excellent. If you don't mind, you may as well borrow them from me." Lai Fang nodded indifferently, but then, she was still shocked by the traditional craftsmanship of this era.Yu Suma wrote the picture on the cowhide, and then carved it carefully with a knife. In the carriage, only Ah Yuan cried out in surprise, and praised Sumo's craftsmanship.Yu Xumo carefully rolled up the engraved cowhide, A Yuan doggedly found a hemp rope and handed it to him, who wrapped it lightly and tied it, and stuffed it into the bamboo tube that A Yuan handed over.

"I hope Miss will not give up and stay by my side to check." Yu Xumo didn't mean to please Lai Fang deliberately, but just looked at Lai Fang's surprised eyes, and his face became hot for some reason, and he felt a little embarrassed.Especially after seeing Lai Fang's woodcarving skills, he felt that his approach was Meng Lang.

Lai Fang was just amazed by his fine craftsmanship, but seeing him blushing, his own face was also a little red for some reason. Fortunately, she is not a particularly fair person, and she only felt a little hot from the wind. Li took the bamboo tube.The two of them kept their heads down for a long time without speaking, Ah Yuan's round eyes turned into fox eyes with a smile, biting her lips desperately, not daring to let the two of them find out, for fear that their faces would burn if they both found out.

"Miss, we can see Mount Fuji, and Edo will be there in a few days." The words of horses outside the carriage broke the charming atmosphere inside the carriage.

Lai Fang unnaturally put away the bamboo tube and pushed open the car window.Yu Xumo lowered his head, but he still watched Lai Fang's movements carefully, seeing that she put the bamboo tube in her sleeve, and the corners of her mouth secretly twitched.Lai Fang looked at Mt. Fuji, and the pink bubbles in her heart popped one by one. She was really in Japan. When she looked at the iconic Mt. Fuji, she had a sense of reality.

"Miss, we are going to cross Oigawa, but we need to discuss it with you in advance." Arima asked politely. This way, Lai Fang is really a worry-free person. There are basically no requirements, and he can eat whatever he is given. Live where you want to live, leave when you say, and stop when you say.Arima was a little unaccustomed to such a bad-tempered lady of the Wu family, and gradually relaxed, and dared to make decisions about how to arrange it.

"But what's the problem?" Lai Fang calmed down and asked in doubt. She was very thoughtful in communicating with Arima all the way, and she rarely asked her on the road, only when staying in the hotel for a rest Just ask her, she is really as comfortable as traveling along the way.

"The Oi River is more than 200 miles long and two miles wide. There is no way to get around it. We can only cross the river. If we cross the river, our ox cart may have to be thrown in the cage house. Let's see what the lady wants to bring. What."

"Are there no bridges or ferry boats for such a long river?" Lai Fang asked strangely. Arima also wondered about the idea when he asked her. Is this young lady really going out for the first time?Is reading more books really the same as traveling thousands of miles?

"Miss doesn't know, the bridge was built earlier, but later the general dismantled the bridge for safety reasons, and didn't allow ferry boats. Therefore, to cross the river, you must rely on 'river crossing pawns', people and luggage are nothing, this cow The car must be given up."

"In such a cold day, do you still use people to cross the river? How deep is the water?"

"Hehe, the Dajing River is not frozen all year round, but the depth of the water is really hard to predict. Fortunately, winter is not the rainy season, and the water may not exceed the hips, so we can save some money." After being influenced by Ah Yuan all the way, Arima also Know how to save money for Lai Fang.

"The depth of the water is different, and the charges are not the same?" Ah Yuan became energized when he heard this, and began to calculate in his heart.

"Below the crotch, 48 renminbi per person; beyond the crotch to the armpit, [-] renminbi per person; the pedestal carried by four people in the young master's seat, [-] renminbi. If the water passes under the armpit, you can't go, you can only Wait until the water subsides." Arima spoke carefully, and it was easy for her to go alone, just ride a horse and pay a little toll.

"My God, it costs more than two taels of silver to cross the river? Miss, let's cross the river by ourselves, and you just have to carry Master Mei on your back." It costs so much to cross the river after spending a few dollars!She has always been confident in Miss's cold resistance and physical strength, and pushed Miss to the front without hesitation.

Lai Fang nodded, "It's okay." Yu Xumo's face flushed instantly, he quickly poured water, grabbed the water glass and took a sip to cover up his embarrassment.

"However." As soon as Lai Fang was born, Yu Xumo grabbed the cup tightly. Fortunately, he brought a wooden bowl and cup at A Yuan's request, otherwise he would have crushed it. "Yuan, you are so afraid of the cold, why don't you hire someone to carry you across the river, and you can also find someone to carry you across the river, it's not bad." Considering that Yuan and Arima are both grown women, it is probably already When menstruation comes, it will be bad if you catch a cold, and it will affect future fertility, but she herself still has future menstruation.Besides, the ratio of 48 Wen to [-] Wen is really nothing.

"Miss~" Ah Yuan's eyes were red with emotion, she blushed for her calculation and careful thinking, she plotted against Miss, but Miss was still thinking about her fear of the cold.Arima outside the car was also moved. At first, she was apprehensive about Lai Fang's gratitude, for fear that the young lady would make trouble afterwards, but now it seems that she is really kind-hearted.

"Amei, what do you think? What's the inconvenience?" Lai Fang didn't understand Ah Yuan's move, but just thought that he should ask Yu Xuma what he meant.She doesn't know how to divide the boundaries between men and women in this era, and what they pay attention to.In fact, it was really unnecessary for her to think so. First of all, they are already husband and wife. Secondly, in this era in Japan, sex is still quite open, let alone the defense of men and women, which I have never heard of.

Yu Xumo's head was so low that it almost touched the short one, and he said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I will trouble Miss too much."

"That's no problem. Youma, when will we arrive at Oigawa? Let's pack up first, and bring as much luggage as possible. It's not a small expense, and it won't be more expensive than people." Lai Fang said to the outside.

"Miss, you can already see Oi River in front of you. There are many people waiting for crossing the river. Let's find someone to tie Miss to cross the river together. Just give them a few dollars. The province's rivers are not familiar." Arima said to Lai Fang Yu Xumo actually had some objections to crossing the river. She didn't know about Lai Fang's superior arm strength. Although she had seen her methods of fending off enemies, it was hard to say about physical strength.As long as she is saving face in front of her concubine, and money is really tight, she probably has an understanding of their financial situation along the way.It's not easy to sweep her face, so I can only find a compromise suggestion, don't be greedy for small gains and suffer big losses.

Beside the Oi River, many people gathered, the most conspicuous of which was a group of people dressed as samurai.The woman on the horse is in her early twenties, wearing a dark green silk padded jacket with black chrysanthemums printed on it, a red inner garment, a red loincloth, and brown honeycomb culottes. Her hair is coiled neatly, but she is very energetic. .The appearance is what the Japanese like nowadays, with a broad face slightly elongated, a small mouth, single eyelids, and a fair complexion, one can see that she is rich and does not need to work hard, and there are as many as 16 samurai accompanying her. There were four carriages pulling luggage.

Lai Fang looked at it with great interest. This group of people probably went to Edo for a rotation. The specification was much higher than his own. I don't know which lady they are.It's just that she thought badly, this group of people must have 20 taels of silver to cross the river, right?It's a pity that she didn't discuss this with Arima. Arima knows how much the daimyo spends. This group of people can't win without three or forty taels.

Lai Fang got down, leaned on the cart, and let Arima go to bargain with the "crossing the river pawn" in peace of mind. Ah Yuan had the experience of the previous journey, and knew that Arima would be able to live a life, so he packed his luggage with Yu Xumo in peace of mind. Well, she was the one who drove Lai Fang out of the car. She felt that it was too shameful for the young lady to pack her luggage in front of people.Lai Fang looked at the calm surface of the river, and then at the woman crossing the river with her back on her back. The water was about half of her thigh, so she felt relieved.

However, her attention was attracted by a few people on the side.

"Xiao Wang~, young master, what kind of identity do you have, how can you let people pass it on to you, those lowly people, let alone touching you, even looking at your true face are blaspheming you, you!" A middle-aged man The man spoke impassionedly, hanging his voice like he was afraid that others would not know, Lai Fang watched with interest.

This group of people is really strange.Why do you say that, a middle-aged man, a child who has not yet developed, and four warriors, and the boy rides directly on the back of the ox. I have seen this practice along the way, but most of them are wealthier farmers.The boy was sitting sideways on the back of the cow, holding a red umbrella, and he didn't know what he was covering.The four warriors looked like soldiers, the kind Lai Fang looked down upon when he was a soldier.The middle-aged man described it carefully, and happened to be facing Lai Fang, so she looked straight at him, with thin eyebrows and bright red mouth, a face that looked like it had fallen into a powder vat, His teeth were yellow and yellow, which made Lai Fang feel uncomfortable.

He was wearing a Wu suit, which could be considered to be of status, but if you looked closely, it was a little washed and faded.Lai Fang's evaluation of people in their line of work is either too low-key, or strong on the outside but capable on the inside.Compared with the behavior of this middle-aged man, the latter is more likely.According to Lai Fang's era, those who drove BMWs were not necessarily rich, and they might also be drivers.

"Don't make any noise. Don't you know what's going on in our family?" The boy on the back of the bull opened his mouth, and Lai Fang thought, this is a man with backbone.As if sensing her gaze, the boy turned around and looked at Lai Fang.Looking at his appearance, Lai Fang was taken aback for a moment, his eyes were already clear at such a young age, there was a reason for him to hold an umbrella, the skin that can be broken by blowing bullets can be used to describe a boy, his mouth is small and rosy , there is a bright red cinnabar mole between the eyebrows, I don't know whether it was a spot or a natural one, it makes people extremely charming.Especially, for such a young child, with his brows and eyes fluttering, he already has a style.

He glanced at Lai Fang, lowered his eyes, the red umbrella reflected the sun on his face, making his jade-like skin rosy, very moving.Lai Fang was taken aback by him, and he didn't understand the reason for the hope in the boy's eyes.Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, the boy just looked at himself, pursed his lower lip, turned around, and turned to the other side.Lai Fang only saw his red umbrella, but judging from the stunned look of the woman on the horse, the boy should have turned towards her.

At this time, Lai Fang, who was as dull as Lai Fang, also had some meaning.Sure enough, the woman on the horse was amazed for a while, and then she bent down and whispered a few words to the warrior beside her.The samurai held a box and went to the middle-aged man, "My lord, I am very happy to meet such a man of character as the young master here. I specially ordered the villain to bring you a meeting gift. If there is any impoliteness, I hope the young master will forgive me. "Speaking, respectfully handed over a wooden box with both hands.

The middle-aged man looked at the woman on the horse who was saluting slightly, and raised his head proudly, "I didn't expect so many rough people to haunt, but there are also elegant people, dare to ask your lady's name." He gave the gift I didn't answer, it seems that there is still a lot to pay attention to, so I have to ask clearly.

"My lord is the daughter of the Mito feudal lord, Tokugawa Tsunajo."

Hearing this, Lai Fang looked straight at the woman on the horseback.This is another family of the Yusan family. From her name, one can tell that it is as important as her elder sister Tokugawa Tsunade.She sized up the woman again, inevitably making comparisons with her elder sister whom she hadn't seen a few times.I don't know what the criteria for selecting an heir in this era are. Tokugawa Tsunajo may be a little weaker than his well-behaved elder sister Tokugawa Tsunajo because of his youth, but he is somewhat refined as a literati.I don't know if it's acceptable in this day and age.However, her identity and gift are definitely worth it.

The face of the middle-aged man changed instantly, he suppressed his joy, but the flattery in his voice betrayed him, "It turned out to be Ms. Tokugawa Tsunajo, so we don't lose our status by accepting this gift." He bent down and approached Boy, the boy nodded slightly. The middle-aged man opened the wooden box. Inside was a folding fan and two silver cakes. He shook the weight of the silver cakes and couldn't help laughing.Put a piece of pink paper back into the wooden box and hand it back.The samurai took it with both hands, and respectfully sent it back to Tsunajo Tokugawa.

Gangtiao took it with both hands, opened the wooden box, took out the pink paper and looked at it, his eyes lit up.She handed it to the samurai beside her, got off her horse, straightened her clothes, bowed far away, and the boy on the bull returned her bow.
