Sad Jiangnan

In the middle of making the mask, an episode happened.The brother ran away.

The floor was submerged in the silvery white moonlight, the curtain raised by the tent was slightly blown by the wind, and there was no sound inside or outside the main hall.

When Dingguang Dajin was nervous, he always couldn't speak clearly, and was as noisy as a whining mother.It is very disproportionate and indecent for a person with a beautiful voice to speak inferior words, and it is suspected of being violent.If the resentment towards his mother is counted, the things that can evoke memories of his mother's excellence make him even more painful.

Facing this scene of not knowing whether it was a mess, Fujikonsuke flashed the word "shrine" in his head.

Perhaps it was his mother's voice that lingered in his mind, Fuji Quansuke shed tears naturally, "Where are you going at this time? Why are you going to that place?..."

Suddenly, Dingguang Dajin's voice became very masculine, "What are you talking about? Tell the truth quickly!" Saying this, he walked over and reached out to grab Fuji Gonsuke's arm.Fuji Quansuke escaped, walked a few steps into the room, quickly wiped off the tears on his face, and turned his head to look at Dajin.

Da Jin shouted, "Stop making fun of people!"

"'It's nothing to do with you' my brother said. It's hard for me how to deal with his affairs."

"At this time, you are playing childish temper." Da Jin muttered, tears faltering.Dingguang's attitude is more pitiful than a woman living alone in a room. No wonder he always falls into the same trap. He does have the characteristics of a woman.

Fujikonsuke said slowly, "Is it inappropriate for me to show my temper? I just want to show my temper. I'm not happy to do drudgery!"

"He's your brother, how can you say such a thing." Dingguang Dajin's voice trailed off, and then looked at his toes without saying a word.After a while, like a grasshopper, he softly counted all the kindness that Teng Nagon had to Fuji Quansuke.

"How about this," Fuji Gonsuke's heart calmed down, "I'll go find my brother."

"Really?"

"Of course. After all, he's my brother, right?" Fujikonsuke showed a particularly painful look, and Dadamitsu took that pain seriously.

"I don't know how to repay you, so I'll prepare the horse now."

"I haven't finished talking yet," Fuji Quansuke greeted him, "Of course I can go to my brother, but I want you to promise me."

"What guarantee?"

"You can't follow me secretly."

"Ah, do you want someone else to serve you when you go out?"

"Don't ask so many questions." Fuji Gonsuke's face stiffened, and Dajin quickly apologized and said, "Then you must find the son."

Where can the unknowable be easily promised?Fuji Quansuke didn't want to entangle with Dingguang Daijin any more, so he agreed casually.

"Go find it now."

"Go find it now."

Fuji Quansuke followed the mottled route in his memory, and walked all the way to the shrine in Kamogawa at night.A young heart was beating in the wilderness, Fuji Quansuke thought of the midnight when he went to the west, the fragrant air, sticky grass, and lingering water seemed to be alive around him .

Fuji Gonsuke stopped, the wet night wrapped the unpainted torii, the moonlight gradually dimmed, and a drizzle of rain fell from the sky.Fuji Quansuke, who was wearing leg-binding pants, was trembling in the grass. If his brother wasn't here, would he have other options?I don't know how long it took, but there was nothing but the sound of rain, Fuji Quansuke almost fell asleep in the air conditioner.Before I knew it, the bugs in the shrine screamed.

"Let me take a look, let me take a look." It was my brother's voice.

Fuji Quansuke woke up in an instant. He stood up from the grass and looked around, but there was darkness everywhere.

"Ah, it's not impossible to see."

It was that monster, it was the voice of that monster!Somewhere in my heart, there was a louder and louder scream, which almost overwhelmed all the movements of the outside world.Fujikonsuke felt the raindrops start to heat up.

"Show me quickly, any conditions are fine!"

"You bastard, why did you become like a drunkard? You are so ugly that you just ran out like this. What is hanging on the nose?"

"Don't worry about it." The elder brother who was supposed to be furious, almost begged, "In my dream, she is all like that. Do you understand how much I don't want to die? You don't understand at all. But my body has supported Before that time, my own body is clearer than anyone else. I have to take a look..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, you still have a long life."

"Can't you even meet this kind of request? How much silk and Tang brocade do I want to take that statue back with?"

"Of course I didn't say I won't show it to you. Don't push yourself too far."

The elder brother seemed to be immersed in his own fantasy, "Take it back, let me take it back."

"No, no, this is very important. I can't just give it to you. It's hard to be exposed to the rain with such a serious illness, isn't it? How about I tell you the good news? You saw it once in Xishi Woman, there is news now."

"Don't lie to me, show me the statue quickly." The elder brother who didn't cry when he was burned was almost crying now, just as Kamogawa Priest said, he became a complete alcoholic, saying It's no exaggeration to be a lunatic, "I'll give you whatever you want. Please, I only have one wish."

"As I said, I'm not looking for wealth. I'm impatient if I take it for granted."

"No, please. I'm going to vomit again..." As soon as the words fell, an indescribable animal-like voice came from the shrine.After a while, my brother said intermittently, "I vomited for three or four days, I couldn't eat anything, and there was no pain anywhere on my body. I can't be cured, it's impossible. Now is the time of my death."

My brother started to cry, and then the words came out of his mouth, trembling like ocean waves, "I broke the mask...all I have is this ghost appearance. Even my mother is afraid of me."

There was silence for a long time, and intermittent crying came from time to time, as if Yu had a grudge against his brother.Sometimes the cry melts into the rain, and nothing is heard but the sound of the rain.

Then the priest said, "Oh, don't pretend to be crazy, you have to listen to me. Go home and put on the mask obediently, and I will take you to see that woman."

The crying stopped for a while, and my brother seemed to be stunned, "Where's the statue?...Where's the statue? You didn't show it to me, why didn't you show it to me!"

"Didn't you take it out in front of you just now? You didn't see clearly yourself."

What a bummer.

Fujikonsuke thought, no matter what it looks like, why not just show him?Was it made by He Choi?My brother must be furious because of this.But no.

The elder brother was dying and said, "One more look."

"No."

"have a look."

Unconscious people are usually indifferent to other people's words, has my brother already entered that state?

"No way. Please remember my words well."

"Please."

"No, no. Go back, you big trouble."

……

The voice in the shrine gradually diminished until it disappeared.Fujikonsuke didn't know when he found himself curled up into a ball, and when he was about to stand up, his cheeks were burning badly, and when he reached out to touch it, it was hot and sticky.is it rainBut the rain stopped while they were talking.Fuji Quansuke, who was silently eavesdropping, burst into tears.

Fuji Quansuke returned home and developed a high fever for seven consecutive days.In the past seven days, I have repeatedly dreamed about things about my childhood.Before people die, there will be such a situation. They keep dreaming about their dead relatives, and memories that are so long that they can't even remember when they are awake.The older brother who hadn't taken Yuanfu led him to play in Da Nei, and he was hugged in his arms and taken to Honghui Hall, all of which came to mind one by one.In the dream, his brother's previous appearance even appeared.

When Fujikonsuke woke up, he saw an annoying face between the curtains of several tents.

"How will you be here?"

Dian Yaotou still looked familiar, "It's just for you to take a look at your body."

"Just right?" Fuji Quansuke was mostly awake, "It's my brother... Are you here to see a doctor for him?"

"So it's just right."

"Don't beat around the bush." ​​Fuji Quansuke was about to say a low ridicule, when suddenly a voice came, "Zhengrong, are you okay?"

Fuji Quansuke froze, why is his father outside?

"Eat something when you wake up, there are some soup stains and rabbit sauce in the kitchen."

"I don't want to eat rabbit meat." He just wanted to send his father away.

"Then, how about abalone and catfish, these are your favorites."

"It's really rich." Dian Yaotou couldn't help but praise.

Fuji Gonsuke was terrified of his father who suddenly became familiar with his preferences.He casually agreed, and stopped talking.

Dian Yaotou left, but his father stayed behind.At this moment, Fuji Quansuke wanted to follow in Dian Yaotou's footsteps and talk to him for a while.It's a pity that I don't have that kind of courage at all.It seems that serious illness always makes people very weak.

"Zheng Rong, I still want to talk to you for a while, but you are not feeling well, right?"

Fuji Quansuke's eyes were wide open, and his whole body felt as if he had been reborn.In his mouth, he said in a very light tone, "Yeah, I want to sleep for a while."

My father said, "This is not okay, hehe, it is still the same as when I was a child. If you are not feeling well, you should eat enough before you can go to sleep. I am here to prevent you from falling asleep easily again. "

"No need."

"I'll just talk for a while." The father's intimate tone seemed to be treating Nadeshiko, and the hairs on Fuji Gonsuke's body stood on end.

What to say at this time.You won't get well if you're here.Is this appropriate?Fujikonsuke half-closed his eyes, his head seemed to be empty.

But his father's chatter made him quickly realize that in his memory, his brother had never said a bad word about his father, even in those two desolate rainy nights.If my father treats his elder brother the same way he treats himself, or treats himself the same way he treats his elder brother, would he still be so useless and accomplish nothing like this?

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, followed by a familiar "Master", the father said in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"What Second Young Master taught me to do earlier has been done."

Fuji Gonsuke has never felt the voice of Dingmitsu Daishin so kind.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Oh, this, please avoid it."

The father said solemnly, "Is there anything you can't tell me?"

"Don't worry about it, it's about women anyway." Fuji Quansuke secretly observed his father's expression while talking.Before he finished speaking, he deliberately coughed a few times, and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Father frowned, "Don't do something bad, such as provoking that lady from Jiutiaodian."

Dingguang Dajin said, "I'll just tell you..." At this point, he was interrupted by Fujitsu:

"Worry too much!"

Father said, "It looks like he's a forbidden person, right? You're still insincere."

"It's better for a man to be insincere."

My father laughed loudly, told me a few words about the physical problem, and then moved back to the room.

Fuji Quansuke asked quickly, "What's the matter with you?"

Da Jin said, "Young Master's illness..."

Fuji Quansuke said bitterly, "Okay, did you just want to talk about this?"

"If you don't want to hear it, you would have driven me away long ago!" Da Jin said happily, "But thanks to your feat, the eldest son's illnesses are all cured."

"Okay?" Fuji Gonsuke sat up all of a sudden.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much." Hearing Dajin's tone, Fuji Quansuke thought he was going to dance.

But how is this possible?Fujitsusuke said these words unconsciously.

"Really, why didn't you tell me. I really didn't expect you to have such a hand. I found the eldest son. I don't know what kind of panacea I gave him, and he got better day by day. Even He Dian Yaotou thought it was incredible That! Thanks to you, the mask was ready in time, oh my, thank you very much."

Fujikonsuke had nothing to say, the words "Your life is still long" rang in his ears again.Dajin's "thank you very much" overlapped, and it was noisy for a while.

Fujikonsuke thought a lot of things in his mind, such as, how good is it?What is day by day?Where does it get better day by day, face or body, or both?how is it now?What did you say?

But these low sentences are like fruits that no one picks. When they are ripe, they fall to the ground, hiding their sweetness in the wrinkled coat, and no one knows when they rot.Fujikonsuke remained silent until Daishin left.

After a while, there must be a servant delivering food, Fuji Quansuke just put on his clothes.Stand up and pull up the lattice.The biting wind sent into the room, and Fujikonsuke couldn't help shivering.At this time, a maid called him to eat outside.

Fuji Quansuke didn't want to see anyone, so he told her to put it in the wing room and go back.Such a sentence is very draining of courage.Unexpectedly, she squeezed into the main room with a food case.

Fujikura thought to himself, can his father's love reach this level?But seeing this woman, she didn't cover her face with her sleeves, and she didn't look shy.When the case was brought over, he raised his head and smiled at Quansuke Fuji.The makeup on the face is extremely delicate.

Fuji Quansuke asked, "Who let you in?"

The maid with a face just smiled, moved the case to Fujitsusuke, and stood up to cut his hair again.Fuji Quansuke opened her hand, but the woman remained silent.After a while, he said, "I'll just wait on the side, if you want to order something..." After saying this, he really kneeled to the corner and remained silent.

Fujiquan thought, this is all messed up!Why did I have to find that kind of clumsy excuse to deal with my father?Before he recovered, he specially recruited this third-rate thing to deal with him.His father was really underestimated by him.

After a while, I thought again, there is a bad thing, I did not do it well.But looking back now, is there any room for regret?Everything you do is voluntary.What he never expected was that the more polite his father was on the surface, the more he would do diametrically opposite behaviors to examine people's sincerity.Has he always been so bad-natured, or does he have hatred in his heart?Am I the one who hates it?

All these ideas, like a mass of hot air in my heart, reached my limbs and my bones.Fuji Quansuke stood up, and the maid looked straight at him.Fuji Quansuke hugged her into the account without saying a word.

After sleeping until midnight, Fuji Gonsuke woke up suddenly.There was a very cold wind, which made him shiver all the time, and the woman in his arms fell asleep peacefully.He got up from the tent and walked out on tiptoe, the obvious coolness rushed to his face, the lattice window was not closed.

Fuji Quansuke walked to the window, and was about to pull down the window, when he suddenly saw a white mask appearing on the opposite side of Nishiyuki.The mask is attached to what seems to be vine-colored clothes, quietly bathing in the dim light.Soon, the mask turned to this side, as if looking at himself.Fuji Quansuke hastily closed the window, his heart beating non-stop.

There was a rustle of clothes around him, Fuji Gonsuke returned to the tent, and found the maid sitting up, her satin-like hair hanging on the plum red skirt, very cute.

"Why are you crying?"

"It's nothing." Fujikonsuke still lay down.

"Still getting up at this time..."

"I forgot to close the window, so I went to close the window."

"But I still shed tears, don't you think it's not a good thing?"

"Has anyone ever told you that joy also sheds tears?"

The maid laughed, Fuji Gonsuke looked at her face, and smiled too.

When Fujitsusuke was in such a state that he could return to the palace to resume his post, he soon heard something. The saying that "the palace has ushered in a new princess" has spread throughout the streets and alleys.There are two kinds of topics about women, "rare looks in the world" and "talents that are not allowed to be learned by men".But if you want to attend the festival at night, your appearance can eclipse the bright moon that looks at the night.Inevitably there is too low.

In Fuji Quansuke's view, it was just a squabble to curry favor with the emperor's relatives, and it was really suspected of talking nonsense.Since there are people who don't believe like Fuji Quansuke, there will naturally be people who believe or people who are half-believing.

The head of Liujo had a face-to-face meeting and chatted with Fujitsusuke about this incident.The two chatted for a while at first, but because of the two special bonds named "Nadeko" and "Fuji Nagon", the atmosphere was almost cold for a while.Really speechless, the weird princess popped out of Fuji Quansuke's mind.That's how it started.

"Oh, I don't think you are interested in this kind of thing." Toubian looked shy when he said this.Fujitsusuke couldn't help but think about Miss Heyuanyuan.If there is no one around, you will give yourself two slaps.Are you an idiot?I just want to get closer to such a topic.It's just that he was born with a bad nature, and he had to choose the most difficult one among the many roads.Fortunately, Toubian didn't mention the unbearable past, but asked, "Master Prime Minister, do you believe in such a thing?"

"How is it possible, I really thought it was the Tale of Bamboo Tori."

"Haha, if a child can be born at this age, then the Lord really lives up to the prestige of Emperor Jimmu. It's a pity that she is a big girl."

"Don't talk nonsense." Fuji Quansuke hated his frivolous face.But the strange thing is that the person I yearned for most in the past was actually the main character like Ise Tale.

"In the morning, a person's predecessor stood in front of the school book hall and said that the princess came from the market. I don't think it is very credible." Fuji Quansuke started another.

"Yes, but everyone says so."

"And you, do you believe it?"

"I don't know." Toubian spoke without thinking as if possessed by some stupid ghost.If it's not casual, it's a cliché.But Fuji Quansuke thought, if I do a good deed today, I will fall into his bait, so I said:

"In my opinion, the more popular the rumors in the world, the less necessary to believe them."

"That's the way it is." Toubian smiled, "It's a strange thing for a princess to appear out of nowhere, right? But the inner princes think it's quite satisfactory, and now there are no candidates on the list of King Zhai. Just one less place."

After listening to it with a serious expression, Fuji Quansuke couldn't help but think of that "sister who came out of nowhere", so he didn't answer.

Yuanyuanben changed the subject, "Nagoto Fujinaka seems to have been depressed for a while."

"Ah." Fuji Quansuke was evasive, feeling scared in his heart.There are fewer rumors about my brother than this "Princess Huiye".It was useless to evade and justify. At that moment, the feeling of shame came to my mind again like a golden carp splashing in water.Why did he say such things on purpose?

"It's just depressed for a while, and it will get better. Is there any difficulty in getting over it?"

"Will you pursue that fourth princess?" Toubian asked.

"What, are you? I'm not interested at all."

"If it comes from His Majesty, even though it may not be worthy of the name, it won't look ugly, right? It would be a pity if you don't want to pursue it like this."

"If it's to please you, you don't need to say any more. After all, you still don't understand me."

"You don't seem to know. Shall I tell you?"

Connecting the "pursuit" just now, Fuji Quansuke felt at a loss for the first time, and he dealt with it numbly, "What's the point?"

Yuanyuanben's head suddenly moved to Fuji Quansuke's ear, and his deliberately low voice penetrated into his ear like a mosquito, "There are low-level people in the court's wife's family, and there is a trend of pursuing the fourth princess. Although not No matter how pleasing it sounds, the fact is that your brother is also listed. According to your words, this hurdle is over, right?"

Fujikonsuke felt dizzy for a moment, as if he was in the fire of karma.The incense on Yuanyuanben's body was mixed with an undetectable peculiar smell.The desire to vomit arises spontaneously in Fujikonsuke's heart.

"Oh, yes, that would be great," he replied.
