Butterfly [The Great Austrian Woman Version]

"Headmaster!" Ah Yuan exclaimed, feeling out of composure, quickly covered her mouth and bowed deeply.

Known as the head of the house, it is the chief deacon of Kii Castle, Kano Masao, who is in charge of internal and external affairs, and is the most useful person around the feudal lord.Because the feudal lord is getting older, he is gradually relying on the eldest daughter, and gradually getting out of the affairs of the feudal family, and the head of the house will also fade out of everyone's sight, but no one dares to underestimate her.It was her who came, no wonder the master and servant were surprised.

"Miss Four." Gana Zhengzhi was around 40 years old, with her hair combed in a bun without a trace of messy hair, and a gray Wu suit with no folds. She stood respectfully outside the courtyard gate and bowed ninety degrees to Yuan Liu.Ah Yuan hurriedly turned sideways and followed suit.Yuan Liu bowed slightly in return, this person's attitude towards him has always been so weird.

Two years ago, it was this person who took him down from the mountain, and he performed the gift of master and servant to his father.In the very few words that the father confessed, there is also a lot of trust in this person.This battle made Yuanliu, who was preparing for a tough battle, a little confused.

"Miss Si, the feudal lord welcomes you from the meeting room in the front yard." Gana Zheng straightened up and raised his hand slightly sideways to signal.It seemed that the meaning was to leave immediately, and he did not express any objection to the extra monks in the yard.Yuan Liu was taken aback. She has been in this time and space for two years. She has some understanding of the etiquette of these islanders, and they all attach great importance to appearance. Looking at the worn feet and old wooden clogs, he also looked at the firm attitude of the Garner Headmaster.After straightening her clothes, she strode forward, passed by A Yuan, and handed her the bamboo knife.Ah Yuan raised her hands up and held them carefully, no longer the same big or small look from last night.

The head of the Ghana Institute let Yuanliu go first, and was slightly behind, followed closely behind. Before leaving, he glanced at Yuan, as if he was somewhat satisfied.Ah Yuan kept bowing his body until the sound of the lady's clogs gradually disappeared, then raised his head slightly, wiped off his sweat and let out a secret breath.

Yuanliu didn't know where the meeting room was, but it was only after the head office reminded him in time that he came all the way.Along the way, she faintly felt something strange.The castle of Lord Ji Yi, in this era of clear hierarchy, except for wars, no one dares to come here, so it is naturally very loose at ordinary times.Today, it is ten steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, catching up with the level of foreign affairs activities in China.All the way to the gate of a courtyard, he was stopped by people dressed as warriors.

"This is the fourth daughter of the feudal lord Ji Yi, please inform me." Kano Zhengzhi looked at Yuanliu's puzzled look, stepped forward and bowed.The samurai bowed slightly in return, and striding into the courtyard while holding on to the samurai sword pinned to his waist.

"Miss Si will see the people inside later, everything is fine as usual, don't panic." Gana Zhengzhi reminded in a low voice.Yuanliu understood a little bit. It is estimated that some distinguished guests came inside. The cheap mother is a feudal lord, and she can be regarded as a bully. Even if she doesn't understand the hierarchy of this era very well, she still knows that it must be passed on in her own yard. It must be something ordinary figure.

"The head of the courtyard and the fourth lady please come in, the lord pleases." The warrior came and went quickly, bowed his head and saluted.Yuan Liu strode forward. Although he didn't come to his own yard a few times, he still has a bit of confidence in the friendship of the landlord.The battle in the yard was even more rigorous. Two rows of warriors fought against each other, wearing the same clothes and combing the same hairstyle, very imposing.Just between these few steps, Yuan Liu discovered a problem.These samurai should not belong to their own family, but why do they have the same pattern logo as their own, the Sankui pattern on their uniforms?She frowned, she should look for a book on genealogy later.

She took off her wooden clogs, went up to the corridor of the meeting room, knelt down properly, and waited for the summons.It is said that the "house" is actually more exquisite than her courtyard. The carvings on the cornices of the porch are particularly exquisite, and the scale is much larger.I could faintly hear voices inside, and it sounded like they were talking lively and happily, with laughter coming out from time to time.The golden sliding door was pushed and closed, and a young woman wearing a heavy Wufu came out. I don’t know why the kimono is still called Wufu at this time. It probably has something to do with it being passed down from the Celestial Dynasty. The Japanese are still very particular about kimonos. They also invented it.

The young woman wears a golden chrysanthemum-patterned coat with a red face and green lining, and a white gown underneath.Although the color scheme is eye-catching, it is quite harmonious, but on the shiny bun, there are twelve big golden hairpins inserted in the front six and the back six, like the fan bones of a folding fan, and a hair comb in the bun, It is also golden, like a peacock spreading its tail.Yuan Liurao was calm and almost laughed out loud.

"Please, General." The young woman didn't know that she had been ridiculed, and she looked down at Yuanliu who was kneeling on the ground with a sense of superiority.The slender eyebrows raised slightly, and the brightly red painted mouth curled away in disdain.If you don't talk about this poor attire, whoever believes that she is the fourth lady of the feudal lord's family is simply an inferior person.Thinking in my heart, the action naturally took a bit of contempt, turned around and entered the door, and did not lead Yuan Liu.

Yuanliu looked at the back of the woman and thought "general"?Now is the period of the shogunate, isn't the shogun the pinnacle of the tower of power?Why is such a noble person here?Is it patrolling?sympathy?No matter how strange you think, following these thoughts, the coat of arms with the three sunflower pattern at home jumped into my mind again.Yuan Liu looked at the servants kneeling three steps apart on the veranda, stood up, followed the woman through the sliding door, the sliding door behind him slowly closed, and Yuan Liu entered the meeting room.

Yuan Liu entered the room, only to feel the strong and tangy aroma rushing to her face with heat, making her breathless.At this time, people like to fumigate clothes and fume, and fumigate everything. She has the final say on her yard, and Ah Yuan fought her several times and lost, so she did as she wished.It made her forget the customs of the people here, so she panted lightly with her mouth, closed her nose, and finally chose the safe way, kneeling by the sliding door.

"Hehe, look, my lord, the fourth lady of the feudal lord's family is really interesting." The voice was that of the woman just now, and she smiled with a shrill voice, "What I know is because of your majesty, and what I don't know is that I don't know the rules." Liu Zheng tried his best to hold his breath, panting with his mouth, but he didn't pay attention to the woman's obvious taunt.When she just came in, she looked at the room and there must have been about twenty people, not to mention the servants kneeling behind the nobleman, there were also a few men and women who didn't wear formal dresses, but she came out from the veranda to tell her to come in. Knowing that status is also precious is not going anywhere.But according to what she said, it is also true that the general is serving by his side.

"My lord, why do you have to make fun of a child, who can not lose his temper in front of the general?" A gentle female voice helped Yuan Liu out of the siege, "My lord, is this girl your fourth daughter?"

"Exactly." The voice of Yuanliu's mother sounded, thick and low, "Master General laughed at me. The little girl is vulgar and neglected to discipline. If the old man hadn't mentioned it, how could he have summoned her? I am afraid that I will offend Lord General." s eyes."

Genroku and his mother, who is the feudal lord, met only once, and it was a month after she returned to the city.Because of her incompatibility and unfamiliarity, coupled with the contempt of the instigated servants, she caused countless jokes.When her mother summoned her, she judged according to common sense, thinking that she was supporting her, but she didn't know that she was called to admonish her.Yuanliu is a stranger to this era, not to mention his mother, whom he has never met in his previous life. It is not lost, but he just thinks of his father in the temple, and it is somewhat worthless for him.

Lord Ji Yi glanced at the four barefooted women, his eyes were like a calm lake without a trace of waves, and he just ordered, "Yuan Liu, come here and kowtow to the general." This was heard by Yuan Liu's ears, but it was considered a clear instruction.She stood up and walked to the main seat, knelt down and kowtowed, her head was kept down, and her eyes did not scan the people in the room.I straightened up and thought about it, but fortunately, there are traces of Japanese architecture and living habits, and the rules are strict. If you know the direction of a house, you will know everything.Yuanliu was still feeling thankful in his heart, but he didn't see the terrified eyes of the whole room as if he saw a prehistoric monster.

The people in the room only saw her disheveled hair and bare feet, and how she dared to walk upright in front of the general without kneeling. They didn't know that Yuanliu deity even found it awkward to kneel, and it was not easy to do so.

"Hehe, what an interesting kid." The only person sitting in the superior position spoke out, a little lazily, but the slow rhythm still revealed the sense of superiority of the superior. "Raise your head and let this general take a look." Yuanliu raised his head as he said.I don’t know how many layers of brocade mats have been turned upside down. An old lady in her 60s is sitting cross-legged. She wears a red gown inside a purple solid-color dress. The edge of her white shirt is exposed in the flat cross-collar. A green decorative rope, and a golden fan on a cold day, with a fiery red sun painted on the fan.

The old man's skin was already loose, and his hair tied up in a high bun was snow-white, and he wore a golden crown to fasten the high bun.Thinking about the dress of the women around her, I think the old man likes festive colors.It's just that this general, with high cheekbones, fish-bubble eyes, and the corners of his already wide mouth drooping down because of slack muscles, is indescribably mean.Yuan Liu was still calm, General Ren looked at him, and she looked at him politely.

The General is not displeased at all, he has been complimented all his life, and the older he gets, the less he will let strangers get close to him, and he is accustomed to the attitude of his cronies who are used to hearing pleasant words and seeing obedience. Suddenly seeing Yuan Liu, Still very fresh.What's more, Yuanliu has a good face, his eyes are clear and not flickering, and he is cute for no reason, and the hearts of those who watch him tremble.

The woman who just came in from Yuanliu was kneeling at the general's knees, she secretly raised her eyes and saw the interest in the general's chaotic eyes, her heart trembled, and she looked at Yuanliu who was kneeling straight, thinking, I can't let such a The vulgar woman is favored by the general.Thinking about it, he covered his mouth with a light smile and said, "I didn't realize just now that the Fourth Miss is quite good-looking, but she doesn't comb her hair or wear a pair of socks. It's so cold, so I ask the general to be merciful and give her a pair." .” As he spoke, he tugged on the general’s wide sleeves coquettishly.

After hearing what she said, the General also noticed Yuanliu's attire.Of course, she also knew a little about the affairs of each family, but she didn't expect that Guangzhen, as the lord of Jiyi, would be so harsh both externally and internally, but thinking about Yuanliu's life experience, she was relieved.But looking at Yuanliu Dadong's bare feet, he still felt pity for him, "Guangzhen, this general envies you for having three such outstanding daughters."

"Your Majesty General, you don't dislike it." Lord Ji Yi bowed his head slightly.

"But Zeng Yuanfu? What's the name?" The general asked Yuanliu kindly, and the latter just frowned, puzzled by the general's question. "Before she was kept by her father's side, so she named it 'Yuanliu' casually. Yuanfu has been in the Yuanfu for two years, but it has not been named yet." The feudal lord replied on behalf of Yuanliu.At this time, Yuanliu didn't know that Japanese girls are 12 years old, which is similar to a coming-of-age ceremony, usually after menarche.Naming is a very solemn matter, and her current Yuanliu is not a serious name.It can also be seen that the family members treat her contemptuously.Yuan Fuli actually did what Yuanliu's father did for her in the temple.

"Oh, she is considered an adult, how can she be like this?" The general was getting old and his heart softened. He just wanted to persuade him, but he also knew that it was not easy for her to interfere in other people's internal affairs.While thinking about it, the man kneeling on her right lower head said, "Why didn't the general give you a name? This is also a fate for this woman." Hearing the voice was the person who rescued Yuan Liu in the first place, Yuan Liu turned his head to look.

The person was over 40 years old, and the dark green dress, light green gown, and brown belt seemed introverted and friendly, but I didn't know why she always helped me. Yuan Liu, who was so unfamiliar with the world, could see it. Naturally, the human spirit can also see it.There were several eyes looking at her, but the man didn't care much, he just bowed to the general.

"It's not right, the father of the fourth daughter is lowly, so I can't afford to be named by the general." The lord of the feudal lord stopped her voice, and seeing the general's obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes, she said again, "The name is ready-made, following her second sister's example. 'Lai Fang' is enough." The lord of the feudal lord did not look very afraid of the general, and said to Yuan Liu, "From today onwards, your name is 'Matsudaira Lai Fang', do you remember?"

Yuan Liu nodded, and said in response, "I remember clearly." From now on, she will be called Lai Fang, but she is just one word away from her second sister, but I don't know why the eldest sister is called Gang Jiao. , She also doesn't know the naming habits of the Japanese.Smacking it, 'Songping' didn't seem like a great surname, at least she wasn't familiar with it.

The general said gently, "Not bad, not bad." On the face of it, there was no displeasure at being interrupted by the feudal lord. "The general also gave you a gift, Echizen Kayano County." Everyone was surprised, so Yuan Liu, no, It should be called Lai Fang, and with the feudal land, she can be regarded as a feudal lord. Of course, there are only [-] stones, which is of course not at the same level as her mother Ji Yi's feudal lord. It is equivalent to the gap between the Himalayas and a small pebble. However, she With the feudal land and becoming a lord, although she doesn't have to go to manage it herself, someone will do it for her. She just collects taxes, but this is among the ranks of daimyo.

The second young lady kneeling beside the feudal lord, the second young lady, gritted her teeth with hatred. She was almost forty years old, and she had accepted an elder sister who was better than her in everything, but this bastard was so talented. At the age of 14, he had a comparable status with her, and he only had the Echizen Dansheng Domain, [-] shi, and only had the false title of Major General Zuo Jinweiquan.As he said that, he took a hard look at Okubo who had been helping that bastard, that is, the woman in dark green dress who was kneeling first on the right hand side of the general.

Lai Zhi was startled and frightened at this moment, Okubo probably knew something, right?She is the person whom the general has recently started to favor, and she has joined the ranks of senior middlemen in just a few years. That is the general's cabinet, and there are only a few seats. Otherwise, the general's favor for her may make this seat fall into her hands.Thinking about what he had done, Lai Zhi broke out in a cold sweat.Does this person know or not?If she knew, she shouldn't have said nothing at this point; if she didn't know, why would she help that bastard.

As if to answer her question, Okubo Tadashi said, "I have something to report!"
