Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Five days later, Mr. Bo Sheng excitedly took Mr. Jiu Yuren to Chengxiang Hall to visit His Highness Prince Ying.

I have to say that Mr. Bosheng is really a very enthusiastic and responsible friend.He will definitely do what he promises to others, and the promise to a good friend is still the same.Because I value the friendship with Mr. Jiu Yuren very much, I really do my best to fulfill his wish.

Because the promise has been fulfilled, Bosheng is even happier than Yuren today.Early in the morning, he personally went to arrange the vehicle for travel, and stood at the door to greet the other two to move faster.

After getting into the bullock cart, he talked endlessly in the car about how outstanding the Fourth Highness is, and how much he admired this elder brother.Young Master Ye Shan didn't sleep well in the morning, and Bai Sheng's excited words filled his ears.I wanted to interrupt, but I couldn't find a chance to speak, I just felt extremely tortured, and wished I could just get dizzy and forget it in this carriage.He thought secretly in his heart: Oh, you have never seen the upright, resolute, handsome and handsome elder brother His Highness in private has such a bad character and such a poisonous mouth!

Mr. Bosheng naturally couldn't hear the slander in Xingping's stomach, and he was still talking happily.Young Master Yuren sat on the side, listening to Bai Sheng's description with great admiration, with infinite longing in his heart.But when I think of my humble identity and weak physique, I can't help feeling inferior and apprehensive.

"I have little knowledge. I'm afraid that when I get to the palace later, I will lose my manners. His Majesty is such a noble person. If he detests you, it will be really uncomfortable."

"How could it be?" Bo Sheng patted Yu Ren on the shoulder carelessly, "Your Highness is not such a stingy person. You just need to be like you are when you get along with us every day..."

"Your worries are really unnecessary." Young Master Ye Shan, who was resting his head on the side, also opened one eye and said, "His Majesty Shuai has a high status, so naturally he is more noble, but he is definitely not a person who judges people by their appearance. You Just speak generously, if you are timid, it will be boring."

Reassured by the two people's explanations, Jiu Yuren relaxed a little, and began to look forward to the people and things he would meet next.

The ox cart entered the imperial palace from the west, and the three of them got out of the cart, just as they saw the palace servants who had come to escort them.Bai Sheng was very familiar with this place, he took Yu Ren's hand and ran all the way to Chengxiang Hall, causing the palace servants to struggle holding their skirts and shouting in embarrassment: "Both young masters, slow down, slow down."

Young Master Yeshan was not in a hurry, he walked slowly behind his head with his hands behind his back.

When he ran to the gate of the palace, Jiuyu was already out of breath, and his pale face was obviously blush.Bosheng didn't feel anything, and he could tell Xingping behind him to move faster.

The three tidied up at the door before walking into the palace with the beautiful palace servants.

Passing through the winding corridor, His Majesty Shuai was reading a book in front of the courtyard.Hearing the movement, he raised his eyes and smiled.When the light and the spirit flow, it is full of chic and romantic scenes.Even Mr. Bai Sheng and Mr. Xingping, who had long been accustomed to seeing His Royal Highness Prince Ying's beautiful appearance, couldn't help but suffocate at this moment, let alone Mr. Jiu Yuren.

"Here we come," Shuai Gong put away the ancient book in his hand, and pointed in front of him, "Sit down quickly."

Bo Sheng rushed over first, stretched his neck with a smile and asked, "What book is your highness reading?"

"It is a book commenting on "Mencius". This person's views are rare and worth reading."

"Yes, yes, show me quickly."

His Highness smiled and handed the book to Mr. Bo Sheng, and greeted Mr. Yuren next to him not to be cautious, and asked him to bring tea and snacks.Mr. Yuren responded cautiously, and sat aside in a restrained and polite manner. Seeing Mr. Bo Sheng was still flipping through the book with great interest, he blushed and said softly: "This gentleman is a man who admires the book very much." Everyone who said in Mencius. Because of the deep belief in the saying that people are born in sorrow and die in peace, they gave up a good life and are willing to live in poverty."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Hearing this rare news, the handsome palace was very interested.He smiled and said, "Young Master Yuren is indeed a man of profound knowledge."

"I dare not expect His Highness to praise you so much, but I only know this secret story when I hear my father chatting occasionally."

"Don't be too modest, this is the style of good writing, it should be praised."

Jiuyu replied with a blushing face, lowered his head and couldn't help smiling.His Majesty Shuai is really as Bo Sheng and his wife said, he is a very broad-minded person.Not only is he skilled in martial arts and righteous, he is also full of poetry and books and proficient in academics.After such a conversation, the tension in Yu Ren's heart was relieved by more than half, and he felt close to Prince Ying.

"Oh, don't talk about these articles anymore, I'm the most impatient." Lord Yeshan waved his hand, as if to shake off some annoying harassment, "Don't spoil the interest when we get together today, talk about other interesting things Well……"

His Majesty Shuai knew best how much this young master didn't like reading, so he looked at him with a smile, "I'm in the palace all day, no better than you can visit the distant mountains and play near the water. There really isn't anything interesting to say, You are the most well-informed, so it's better to tell you."

Hearing His Highness praise himself, a slightly proud expression appeared on Ye Shan's face.He twisted his neck, coughed twice, and said he didn't dare to act.Turning in my mind, I searched for interesting things that happened recently.

"In the past few days, I've attended more parties, and having too much fun will naturally hurt my health," Mr. Xingping said shaking his head, causing the people around him to laugh involuntarily. "So, my uncle has been cultivating his fertility at home. Who would have thought that there will always be people who are jealous of my wisdom and appearance, and come here to cause trouble if they don't know what they can do!"

Mr. Bo Sheng rolled his eyes, "Who else can trouble you."

"Hey!" Xingping pointed at Bosheng and Yuren pretending to be annoyed, and choked, "I didn't go out for you two! I went out to save you from this disaster! Both you and Yuren You should thank me well."

"What's the matter?"

Seeing the question from the handsome palace, Bo Sheng didn't intend to hide it, he glanced at his mouth and replied: "It's not about Tian Dao's group, I have never seen such a stingy group of people."

This Tian Dao is the son of the general who made things difficult for Jiu Yuren at the rattan banquet that day, and later lost to Bai Sheng at the palace banquet.He has always been stingy and domineering, he lost face twice and tried his best to get back his position.

During the palace banquet, Shuai Gong reminded Ye Shan to pay attention to protecting the safety of Bai Sheng and the two, which was really prescient.Sure enough, within three days, this arrogant guy came to revenge with malicious intentions.

This Tian Dao usually has a lot of friends, but this time he was humiliated again and again, so he naturally wanted to invite them to come together to find a place for him.However, I don't know if those cronies found out with conscience, or they knew that this time they were dealing with someone they couldn't afford to provoke—after several greetings, no one was willing to come with him.

As Tajima scolded this group of people for being unjust, the anger in his heart added another point.He was so angry that he took several servants of his family who were domineering together on weekdays to ambush around the mansion of the Prime Minister, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.

This person is narrow-minded and has no great wisdom to speak of.It is used to bully people in the usual way.He thought, just lead people to ambush nearby, if they see Young Master Bo Sheng and Jiu Yuren, they will surround them together, drag them to a corner and beat them up.If there is only one Young Master Yuren left alone, then he will be tied back to relieve the hatred in his heart.

And Mr. Ye Shan, who had already received orders from Shuai Gong and was very meticulous, had already realized that something was wrong.There was no need to report, he directly led people to put this group of fools in sacks, called dozens of sap sticks, and threw them into the animal pen.They were not discovered until the next morning when it was the busiest time, and they were taken home with wounds and smells all over their bodies, completely humiliated.

This Mr. Tajima soon became the target of Quan Yujing's teasing, even those dandies who hang out with him on weekdays kept ridiculing how stupid he was.Completely act as if you don't know him.

As the only child in the family, Tajima was of course extremely unwilling to suffer such humiliation.The female relatives in the family cry all day without knowing what to do.He was upset by crying, but after being beaten up, he felt cowardly and dared not provoke him again.After much deliberation, he could just ask his own father and let him make the decision for himself.

If this Lord Tajima can get on the line of the right minister smoothly, he must be a person who is extremely sensitive to the situation and seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.His son was beaten up for no reason and lost such a big face, he was naturally blue with anger.But when he listened to his son's embellished statement and understood the cause and effect of this matter, his face turned pale.

"You, you, you actually provoked the eldest grandson of Lord Neifu!" Lord Tian Dao widened his eyes, as if he didn't recognize the son he loved so much.

"Father, what are you talking about? It's obvious that they don't know what's good!" Mr. Tian Dao rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "What is the grandson of the inner house? I heard that the inner minister has long wanted to retire. His father is no more It's a small Shibu Cheng, not enough to carry shoes for my father, yet he dares to bully me."

General Tajima laughed back in anger, and snorted coldly: "Then what do you want?"

"If I could know what's going on, would I still come to my father?" Mr. Tajima said aggrievedly, pulling the wound on his face and becoming more depressed.

General Tajima saw that his son hadn't come to his senses, so he walked back and forth in the room several times anxiously, and finally kicked the useless son, kicking him far away, "You...you...you don't know Something good or bad!"

Mr. Tian Dao rolled out of the distance with a groan, rolled on the ground hugging his body and howling loudly.The female family members panicked and screamed to help him.However, Mr. Tajima yelled violently, so frightened that no one dared to move while trembling on the spot.

"No one is allowed to help him! How did I have such a son as you! That's the family of the Shuai Palace! Why do you dare to provoke them without knowing what is good or bad! Even when I see that young man, he must behave himself Greetings, let alone you!"

"Father, father...it's fine if you don't vent your anger on me, why do you still beat me, father!"

Mr. Tian Dao was in pain again, and felt wronged in his heart.He really didn't know what the status of the handsome palace was among the nobles, but when he thought of his arrow skills and cold eyes that day, he finally became afraid after realizing it.He shuddered, but his heart was still full of unwillingness.Shrunk into a ball, and complained aggrievedly:

"Your Handsome Palace... No matter how powerful your Handsome Palace is, you are only a 15-year-old boy, and you should be respected when you see you. What's more, don't you still know the right minister..."

Seeing that this unscrupulous son hadn't come to his senses, Mr. Tajima felt that he was going to be carried away by him in anger.Fortunately, he was usually in good health and did not faint all of a sudden.Still full of anger, he pointed at his son's nose and cursed: "The handsome palace is 15 years old and has already assisted His Majesty in governing the country. You are still a worthless and incompetent thing at nineteen. The right minister will do it for you. , to offend the handsome palace! Do you see that the right minister is as stupid as you! Ah!?"

The more General Tajima scolded, the more angry he became, and the more angry he became, the more angry he became.Under the rage, he picked up some unknown object from the side, accompanied by the screams of the female relatives, and beat them head-on and face-to-face.The beating made Mr. Tian Dao wailing again and again, and the old wounds were not healed, and new wounds were added.Lying in his own room, seeing no one at all.

Afterwards, General Tajima personally came to make amends with gifts.I just hope that the adults of the inner palace don't get angry because of this matter, and get angry.After knowing the cause and effect, the Minister of the Interior praised Ye Shan and Bai Sheng for a good job, and went to receive the guests with a smile.He tactfully reminded the fact that the descendants of Mr. Tajima's family need to be educated, otherwise endless disasters would be left, so he accepted the gift and let him go back.

Mr. Tajima left Sanjoin in a cold sweat, panicked, and went home to beat his son again.

**

Master Ye Shan has always been able to find out these anecdotes, not to mention that this time he is the one who personally participated.The whole thing was told vividly and wonderfully.Even Bosheng and Yuren, who were in danger of being plotted against by others, listened with gusto and didn't worry about their own safety at all.

"Hmph, I think that Tajima dares to trouble Yuren after this happened!"

"I definitely wouldn't dare, this is my uncle himself!"

"I didn't expect there to be such a reason in it. Thank you Xingping for settling this matter for us."

"Oh, no need, no need, I have long seen that guy's domineering appearance is not pleasing to the eye, and I have long wanted to teach him a lesson. It's not all because of you."

Xingping shook his head, his complacent look was really funny, and several people laughed together when they saw him.When His Majesty Shuai heard that the matter had been resolved, he knew that there was nothing to intervene.He nodded towards Ye Shan, indicating that it would be good to stop here, and there was no need for other troubles.Xingping accepted the order calmly, and diverted the conversation to other matters as soon as he changed the subject.

As long as Mr. Yeshan is around, there will always be plenty of jokes.Even a cautious person like Yu Ren relaxed his mood at this time, and started to play around as usual.The handsome palace will not make any other plans in Japan today, and would like to have fun with brothers and friends.Facing some very boring jokes that Mr. Ye Shan told, he also praised a few words to save face.Master Ye Shan was so happy that his tail was about to stand up.

The few people kept laughing and laughing, just as they heard the well-informed adult share a lively story about a noble family.Then I heard the palace people rushing to report that His Majesty has arrived.

The author has something to say: After finishing it, he didn't write the plot he wanted to write, so he silently changed the title and rolled down silently. . .
