Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Snow-capped mountains are heavy and white

Looking forward to returning home on the lonely path

Whispering at the low window

In a blink of an eye, it was already mid-winter season, and it snowed heavily all night, and the forest was completely white.The end of this pure beauty cannot be seen at a glance, only the jade trees and Qiongzhi in this courtyard are all white and clean.In the courtyard where the snow has not been swept, carefully stepping on the first footprint, looking back is actually very joyful.

People came out of the warm room, and the wooden sliding doors made squeaking noises.The hoarfrost spit out of the mouth obscured the vision, and occasionally white snow fell from the roof.The young maids were startled, touching their chests and calling softly.The female officials who already had status used their eyes to blame them for making too much fuss and losing their manners.

"It's going to be another year soon..." Standing on the wooden porch, Cheng Xiangdian sighed to Bai Xue in the yard, "This cold air is on my face, it really makes me feel like I'm going to grow old again."

"Then you don't need to stand here to blow the wind anymore." Yingying said as she lifted her mother's arm and led her to a place that was sheltered from the wind.

"It's because the room is so stuffy that I want to come out to get some air."

"Let's go over there." Yinggong insisted, and Chengxiangdian had no choice but to obey his son's words.

Today Shuai Palace went to rest and returned to Santiao Courtyard.After greeting my grandparents, I went to the courtyard of Chengxiang Hall.Cheng Xiangdian was bored enjoying the scenery alone, so when he saw his son coming, he happily invited him out for a walk.

"Oh," Cheng Xiangdian seemed to have discovered something interesting, pointed to the front and said, "Look, isn't that Bai Sheng and Jian Zi?"

Shuai Gong followed his eyes and saw a pair of young men and women coming together from a distance, it was indeed Bo Sheng and his wife.Bo Sheng was only wearing ordinary winter clothes, but his wife was wrapped extremely thickly.Holding her husband's hand, she walked carefully and slowly.From time to time, the two lowered their heads to exchange a few words, showing very happy expressions.

"That's great..." Cheng Xiangdian smiled and sighed, "Bo Sheng is really a reliable and responsible man who can take care of his pregnant wife so considerately."

A few months ago, Mrs. Jianzi's body has been very uncomfortable.The imperial doctor was called to inquire, but she didn't dare to make a diagnosis and only told her to eat and rest on time.After a while, everyone finally understood the obvious pregnancy reaction.The young lady was pregnant.

Not long after the young couple got married, such good news came, and the whole house didn't know how to celebrate.Kanko leaned on her mother's arms and smiled shyly and joyfully.

On the other hand, Bai Sheng looked completely stupid, until he was heartily punched on the shoulder by his father-in-law a few times before he realized what happened.He couldn't hear what his wife's brothers said, asking him to take good care of his sister, or they would never let him go.I just held my wife's hand with trembling hands, and kept saying that I was very happy, and I was really grateful for such silly words.

After that, Bai Sheng stayed by his wife's side all the time, and even went to serve his wife himself.Pregnant women are sensitive and suspicious, and occasionally feel that their husbands can't bear to be lonely and go out for fun.Bosheng also expressed his respect for his wife with his actual actions.This is really nothing at this time.

When the news spread, some people said that Mrs. Bosheng was jealous and ignorant.And more people's eyes are red with envy, and they can only talk sarcasticly beside them.

Bai Sheng is finally the grandson of Lord Nei Xiang, and the vigorous and resolute style inherited from the family blood naturally took care of everything.Don't let those gossips pollute the ears of the wife, which is not conducive to the health of the child and her.

Now Mrs. Jianzi is very pregnant, and she walks clumsily and slowly.Because staying at home was too boring, Bo Sheng took her to Santiao Courtyard.Although I didn't go out to play, I changed the place and took a look at the different scenery outside the window.

It happened to be snowing heavily today, which couldn't hold back my wife's sudden childishness.Bo Sheng wrapped her tightly, personally supported her and took her out to see the snow.This thoughtfulness made people feel moved to tears.

Chengxiang Palace admired it from a distance for a while, "This picture is really gratifying... It seems that all the good men in Yujing are by my side, and this is all due to me."

"My son thinks so too." Yingying echoed her mother's words without changing her face, her tone and attitude were extremely sincere, and she was not fake at all.

The Bosheng couple in the distance also noticed the sight of Chengxiangdian and Shuaigong, and they nodded embarrassingly towards this side.The sense of shyness was very obvious, especially Bo Sheng's wife was almost so ashamed that she hid behind her husband.

"This is probably the luckiest thing about being a woman." Cheng Xiangdian continued to look at the two people and said, "It's really pitiful... There are so many people and things in this world, but in the end it is very difficult for a woman to be a woman." For us, the only thing we can feel extremely lucky is to meet a considerate husband."

"Mother……"

"It's okay, mother is not complaining about anything." Cheng Xiangdian winked playfully at his son, then took a deep breath and looked into the distance, "...it's not regretting anything."

The Bosheng couple have already walked away slowly holding each other's hands.Cheng Xiangdian watched them leave with a look of wishes and memories, as if seeing himself and Yingying's father more than ten years ago.

"Yingying, your father is the best person in the world. There are so many sons of Gongqing in Yujing, none of them can compare with him. It has been many years, and I have never seen anyone who is better than him. It is not Because I adore him, if you have seen him, you will know that there are no men in this world who can catch your eye."

Cheng Xiangdian said in a thread, what lingered around the two was the silence in memory.The younger generations gradually had their own lives, but her life became very slow since one year, almost slowing down to a lifetime.

"The snow in Yujing is always so slow, unlike in Kyushu, where the wind blows and it disappears." Nu Yu lowered her head and saw the fine snowflakes falling on her sleeves and then quickly melting, leaving tiny wet marks , "The smell here is always the same, there is no natural smell at all. After a long time, it will make people sleepy, and the drowsiness makes people unable to wake up..."

"Mother..." Shuai Gong took a step forward to hold Chengxiangdian's arm, and said firmly and forcefully: "I will definitely take you back when I have a chance. At that time, even if you stay there for a long time, it's still a good idea." It doesn't matter if you go somewhere else, I will take you there."

"Ah, this is really..." Cheng Xiangdian's eyes were a little hot, and his voice was choked with sobs, "This is what I should do. Can you take me with you? Don't you think I'm a burden when I'm old?"

"No, no, Mother. I still need you to tell me the direction, so please don't oversleep casually."

"Okay, okay, then I'll just wait a little longer," Cheng Xiangdian said with a smile, with a look of reluctance to agree. "Speaking of which, how are you and Suzaku doing?"

"He's always been good, but he's getting busier as the end of the year approaches."

"That's right, then you have to help him well. Speaking of which, His Majesty's birthday is coming soon, have you thought about what gift to give?"

"...Not yet, this also makes my son very distressed."

"Yeah, would you like your mother to give you some advice?"

"I also ask my mother to give pointers..."

……

In the evening, because it was a good time for a family to get together, the mansion hosted a banquet.Everyone gathered in one place, so lively and happy.What was said most at the meeting was that he hoped that Mrs. Jianzi would be safe for mother and child, and that the delivery would be very smooth when the time came.

Cheng Fu was discussing with the internal minister to invite some eminent monks to exorcise evil spirits for the production.If you can do a few games before, you have to clean the house to get rid of the evil.Master Neixiang didn't care about these things at first, but this time he paid great attention to them, discussing the details with his son.It's no wonder they were worried, you must know that many people still remember the incident in Minister Zuo's residence.I'm afraid that there will be a loophole, so that some people with evil intentions will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Yinggong said at the side that he could help, if the famous eminent monk in Beijing could not be invited, it would be the same if he could find someone else.You must know that Mr. Xingping is the most well-informed, and there is no problem asking him to find him.

Master Chengfu was extremely grateful, and hurriedly thanked the handsome palace.This elder has always been a bit simple and honest, and he asked a few more questions here, asking why the handsome palace is still not married.The current situation was not casually said, Mr. Neixiang glared at his son several times, it was rare for this person to be reliable once, and now he showed a flaw again.

Fortunately, Ying knew that this elder had no malicious intentions, but pure relationship or curiosity.He smiled and replied: "The marriage of children is a very mysterious thing. It can only be said that I am unlucky, and I can't find a close companion like Bai Sheng."

Bai Sheng was worried about his father's unrestrained words just now, but now seeing that Shuai Gong didn't care, he immediately picked up the conversation: "Of course it's because of my good luck. Don't worry about father and grandfather, Jianzi will be very happy." produced safely."

After the dinner party, Bo Sheng helped his wife by the waist and led her back to the room.After checking that the surrounding doors and windows had been put in place, he sat back beside his wife and said to her softly, "Okay, go to sleep. I'll wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

"Well," Jianzi in the quilt responded in a low voice, and couldn't help talking to her husband again, "I finally got a clear view of His Majesty the handsome palace today."

"Oh, didn't you see clearly before?" Bai Sheng smiled and tucked the quilt for his wife.

Jianzi smiled shyly, "In the past, I probably only saw the back from a distance at the Tage Festival and Sunflower Festival..." As for the wedding, she was so shy that she didn't even dare to lift her head.

"Oh? You also went to the Tage Festival and the Sunflower Festival?"

"Um……"

Mrs. Jianzi's voice became softer, and she honestly said that she went to see it with her friends.That friend has always admired His Majesty Shuai Gong, saying that he had met him once in the palace and fell in love with him.

"Then tell me, is it your highness who looks better, or me?"

"Dang, of course it's... Your Majesty Shuai Palace..."

"..."

Bo Sheng was choked up by his wife's honesty, his chest was tight and he couldn't say a word.Jianzi half propped himself up, and smiled flatteringly at her husband, "But you are the best to me, no one among the ten handsome palaces can compare."

Bosheng was happy in his heart, a little proud, but he still restrained himself from showing it.

"Seeing Shuai Gongzhen's face today, although it is really good-looking, but it also makes people feel that who else in the world is worthy of him?" Jianzi said innocently, "Thinking about it this way makes people feel sad for him What about..." And my friend's will probably never have a chance.

Bo Sheng thought his wife was really cute like this, and thought it was a little funny.He imitated Yingying and pretended to be calm and comfortable, and helped his wife to lie down, "Okay, it's time to rest..."

"Okay..." Jianzi yawned sleepily, turned over in a daze, and found a comfortable position to lie down.Being as good as a kitten made Bai Sheng feel weak.He held his wife's hand, moved closer to it and pressed it against his forehead, "Don't worry about other people's affairs. Take care of yourself. You are also the best person to me, and no one else can compare."
