Sad Jiangnan

In the initial service, Dingguang Dajin, even though he was afraid of Fujinaka Nayan's terrifying appearance, but because of the other party's past behavior, his pity for him in his heart would be infinitely magnified.In Fujikonsuke's view, Daishin is now driven by this kind of willingness, and it must be a tragedy caused by that kind of redundant sympathy.The already sick Fujinaka Nayan treated him like an animal, and Dajin's mood was also distorted like riding a tiger and entering an inhuman situation.

A few days after the death of the golden carp named Qiandai, news suddenly came out from the Ono Palace that his elder brother was getting married to the daughter of the two great companions, Minister Zuo.

But this is a matter that has been decided since the beginning of his elder brother's coronation. Fujinaka Nayan, who was in Yuanfu in February, should have fulfilled the agreement with his great companion Zuo Minister at that time.On the night of the coronation day, a noble man who has just grown up will live in the dormitory of the woman's house with the betrothed woman.

The daughter of the married minister Zuo was the youngest, and because of his special love and affection for her, Fang taught her to serve the magnificent and unparalleled imperial court.But what others don't know is that these two ministers have never been in harmony with Minister Fujiwara Taizheng.Minister Fujiwara Taizheng married his daughter to the emperor as the middle palace, and he gritted his teeth at night thinking about it.

When Fujinaka Nayan hadn't married, he was often forbidden to enter and leave the palace because of his father's status.Relying on His Majesty's favor, he obtained the privilege of entering the Qingliang Palace early.At that time, the Otomo minister who served the emperor also had a child who was about the same age as Fujinaka Nagon.Although capable of poetry and prose, and with extraordinary appearance, compared with Fujinaka Nayan, he is inferior in all aspects, and is not loved by His Majesty the Emperor.Therefore, the Minister of Education and Companion has an unspeakable complex.

When he didn't see Fujinaka Nayan, he guessed out of thin air with hatred that such a tricky father and his son were bound to be equally mean.I really saw Fujinaka Nayan in person, but because of the stubbornness in my heart, I couldn't accept his cuteness.

However, the elegant virtues and gentle words accompany him day and night, and the personality in that situation is more like an invisible brute force that makes it difficult for people to resist.Naturally, it's like spitting on the face, swallowing the teeth, and liking Fujinaka Nayan's weirdness, no matter what, he can't complain.Minister Zuo loved this lovely and talented son-in-law so much that he vacated the Hongmeidian villa in Zuojing and taught the newlyweds to live there.

The crowning ceremony was performed by the left minister of Hongmeidian, who was old and danced the spoon.Wait until the banquet here is complete, and then go to Minister Zuo's mansion to recruit relatives.So the yin and yang heads were asked to divination for good days and auspicious days, and the banquet ceremony was arranged properly.On the day of the coronation ceremony, according to reason, those who are waiting to be crowned should wear the underarm robe in advance, and wait for the arrival of the coroner and the haircut executor on the crown-wearing seat in the main hall.The identity of the crowned person is really important, so it is necessary to prepare in advance with Fujinaka Nayan at the crowning place to avoid mistakes in the subsequent ceremony.

However, on this day, the minister of the Hongmei Palace did not appear in front of the Ono Palace for a long time.Minister Fujiwara Taizheng complained secretly, thinking that this was a different kind of humiliation.Due to Fujinaka Nayan's face, he had no choice but to agree with each other, and sent someone to invite the minister of the Hongmei Palace to drive quickly.At this time, someone came to visit and informed the Minister of the Taizheng that the person who crowned the crown had a serious illness temporarily, so he could not come as scheduled.

So he had no choice but to violate the prior agreement and let the father crown his son himself, which felt very unlucky.At this time, another retainer came to report that the official who cut his hair was ill and could not attend the crowning ceremony.This incident is extremely strange, and there is no taboo, such accidents should not happen one after another on an auspicious day.However, they are very afraid of violating the rules of auspicious days, and it is unheard of to add crowns on another day.The person who cut the hair was hastily replaced, and the crowning ceremony was completed with difficulty amidst many obstacles.

It was just a banquet, so it was very disappointing.What's more, the emperor came here in person. On a day that was thought to be a glorious day, the minister of the Taizheng suddenly felt dull and worried about gains and losses. He hoped that the banquet would end early, but he still had some expectations for the upcoming marriage.

But at night, the envoys from the Hongmei Palace came to inform that the minister of the Hongmei Palace was in critical condition, and the wedding at night might be difficult to carry out.Once the news was told, everyone felt bored and couldn't help complaining, saying that it was bad luck, misfortunes never come singly, and the mage was extremely incompetent.All in all, it was very noisy, and I forgot the etiquette of being a high gate for a while.Gradually intensified, during which there were unrestrained words.Minister Fujiwara Taizheng was extremely ashamed and furious. He endured it several times and almost lost his temper. Fujiwara Nayan had to preside over the ending.

In the day not long after that, there was a sudden news that Fujinaka Nayan was suffering from a serious illness.As a result, there is no way back to a happy ending for this unrequited love affair.

However, in the face of the unrecognizable elder brother, the cultural envoy of the Hongmei Palace wrote again to inform him of the recent wedding.Fuji Quansuke, who was not directly involved in this farce, can hardly believe that there are still women in this world who don't care about appearance.If it is such a bond, it can not be said that it is not a good match if it can accommodate the difficulties of the elder brother.

But Fuji Quansuke had a strange feeling that even though his elder brother was fortunate enough to get married, almost no one was happy about it, as if an unhappy marriage was imminent, forcing them to submit.

Responding to the envoy's affairs was perfunctory, and my father was furious when he learned about it, and sent his entourage again to the Hongmei Hall to talk about the preparations for Luxian.Only his father's normal high emotions can infect Fuji Quansuke. If his appearance does not affect the success of Fujinaka Nayan's marriage, he will be happy for his brother from the bottom of his heart.

Finally, one day, in the classroom of Quanyuan Academy, Fuji Quansuke heard the rumor that he could not sleep at night.It is about the second daughter of Otomo, who is unwilling to marry Fujinaka Nayan.The reason why the wedding will be held as scheduled is probably due to the pressure of the ministers of the Hongmei Palace, so they have to obey the orders of their father.So in a few words, he followed up with the discussion on Fujinaka Nayan's appearance.

The one who told the rumor just now was an attendant of a student of the Fujiwara Clan. He was afraid that others would not believe it after hearing such a story, so he said, "My mother is the maid of the Hongmei Palace."

So many people gathered around to listen with great interest as if they were watching monkey music. The student of the Fujiwara family also said, "Although I said I was seriously ill, I still couldn't explain what the disease was, and I pretended to be a demon upper body. It's really spreading rumors." , is not credible."

He also said, "However, you have to wear a mask when you attend the court, even if it is smallpox, it will not be like this. From this point of view, the theory of the upper body of a demon cannot be completely ruled out."

The attendant went on to say, "It's just filthy upper body, making it look like a ghost!"

One of the observers raised his head, "I am the cousin of Onomiya Fujiwara, and I know this matter better than you."

So they all gathered in front of him, urging him to speak quickly, "Then, it really isn't as simple as contracting smallpox as Onomiya said."

The person who claimed to be a cousin said, "If you want to say that I am here, I will inevitably feel embarrassed when I get that kind of disease. It is much better than losing my life. It is too hypocritical to make such a mischief."

Fuji Quansuke silently listened to those sentences in his heart, although they were not entirely true, they were definitely not completely fabricated.But Fuji Quansuke, whether it is a rumor or a truth, has heard it with his own ears or told it by others.But whoever listens to the ears always likes to go to the heart.

The cousin went on to say, "I saw his articles before, and thought he was very talented. Sure enough, people inside and outside the palace said that it is a pity that such a person lives in Japan..."

Hearing this, Fuji Quansuke only felt his eyes go dark, and even though he couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly, it didn't matter.He was able to recite this commentary thousands of times back and forth in his heart.It's a pity that this Bibi of Heshi, Pearl of Suihou, grew up in a small country like Japan.Its value is not limited to the talents of the Eight Dou Han, and the excellence of the soul is not what the nobles of the public can count on their shoulders.

"Then, according to this, it's just a scar caused by smallpox. It wouldn't cause you to lose face in front of His Majesty in the Qingliang Palace. The root cause of the disease is that your face is festered and you don't look good. That's it. As a result, all kinds of self-abandonment and self-abandonment all went smoothly."

After the cousin finished speaking, everyone felt that it was very reasonable, and they all nodded in agreement.The cousin was afraid that the children of the Fujiwara family would be suspicious, so he brought out what he had seen and heard in Qingliang Hall, and a few words from the Ono Palace.At this time, the student's attendant seconded the proposal, and relayed the discussion about Fujinaka Nayan's appearance by Onomiya's eldest daughter Meifu.Everyone believed it to be true, and sighed again and again.After a while, I talked about the two bureaus again, thinking that Fujinaka Nayan was already dying, and the men who followed him would also feel afraid. Nie Yuan.

When Fuji Quansuke returned home, he only felt that the gossip in the persuasion college was like thousands of mosquitoes lingering in his ears, his head was dizzy, his heart was empty and melancholy, and he couldn't concentrate on doing anything.

Seeing Dingguang Dajin passing by, he called him to stop quickly, saying that he wanted to ask him some questions.Dingguang Dajin walked in front of him with his knees bent.Because of Fuji Gonsuke's emotions, his heart was unnaturally gloomy, and his voice seemed to be choked up, "I have never heard such rumors about Miss Otomo's refusal to marry. Where did you hear that?" if?"

Fuji Quansuke asked, "How could I have never heard of such scandalous rumors even in the school of persuasion, why bother to say those words to appease me?"

Da Jin said, "There are indeed all kinds of gossip and gossip. You don't need to deliberately inquire about it, but it can be heard. Your father is the Minister of the Taizheng, and these are all natural things."

After a little help from him, Fuji Quan suddenly became enlightened, thinking that the trees are more beautiful than the forest, and the wind will destroy them.Whether it is a respected father or an elder brother who is superior to others, the criticisms on them are common sense.Words like this are commonplace, so you shouldn't worry about Zhong Zhong and make a fuss about it.

But he still said, "How do you know this is nonsense?"

Da Jin said, "I have been with the young master for more than a year. I have been here for half a year, and only I can serve him personally. No one is allowed to come near his bedchamber. It is for this reason that the correspondence with Hongmei Palace is naturally I will be responsible for passing it on. If even I don’t know something, who can know it better than me?”

Having said that, Fujikonsuke finally let go of his anxiety.But at night, I tossed and turned, and once I closed my eyes, the scene in the college during the day appeared.Outsiders' evaluations and judgments, where is the knot that a housekeeper can untie with a few words on a piece of paper.Thinking back carefully on Dajin's appearance at that time, it didn't look like he was lying, but he was very distracted, more like the stupid words spoken by someone who had been ill for a long time.I also feel that such a mediocre person, compared to other family members and retainers, has too many flaws on his body, if he is given a bottom-to-bottom rank, he will be on the list.How such a person can get the favor of the elder brother is really the first wonder that cannot be understood.

Therefore, I can't fully believe Dingguang Dajin's words, and I also think that I have also learned the truth that "stopping slander is better than self-education".Until now, the elder brother who still feels that his temperament has changed drastically is no longer an easy-going treasure. How can he use the allusion of Huai Bi's crime, and he can convince himself inexplicably, it is really a joke.Dingguang Dajin must have been deeply bewitched by his elder brother possessed by a demon at that time, so he would carry out his unprofitable desperation.

On the branch of the moon, Fuji Gonsuke climbed out of the room from the bed and walked to the west of the corridor step by step.All the servants on duty were already asleep, and they lay unsteadily on the corridor, under the dim light, it was a little scary.Occasionally, I met a person who went to the toilet, and told him not to pay attention to myself, so I didn't intervene much.

I haven't heard the roll call for a long time, so I probably know that the ugly time has passed.Fujikonsuke always thinks about Akiko to relieve the loss in his heart every sleepless night full of worries.Today's worries cannot be alleviated by imagination alone.The misty moon and Misty Pond on the opposite side of the west seem to exude a fragrance that spreads all over the hundred miles, enveloping Fuji Quansuke, who is as young as a bee and a butterfly.Fuji Quansuke came back to his senses, and he had already walked to the front of the west hall where the full moon hung high.The flowing water of Mirror Pond hit him like a wave.The bamboo curtain that moves with the wind sings quietly with it.

But tonight, the lights on the west side and the white moonlight complement each other, playing a song of gold and silver.At this moment, Fuji Quansuke thought, tomorrow is the day of his brother's wedding, and his father or mother must come here in person.Inside the orange shoji, vague voices flickered like candles.

Fujikonsuke squatted down in a strange way, and put his ears on the shoji.The person who spoke seemed to be his father, and he said slowly in a step-by-step manner, "Tomorrow, do you know what to do?"

My brother's voice seemed to be submerged in water. It was clearly a formulaic answer, but it was as pitiful as if he was calling for help, "I know."

Father said, "Then, repeat it for me."

My brother said, "No matter what happens, don't panic."

The father asked, "What kind of thing, what does it mean?"

My brother said, "For example, the wedding can't be held as scheduled, or it's called off, things like that."

The father asked, "What if something like this happens?"

I don't know if my brother didn't speak or if he didn't hear clearly. After a while, the sticky voice came again, "Never compromise with the minister of Hongmei Palace, and ask for it to continue as usual."

The father's voice suddenly rose a lot, and pierced Fuji Quansuke's ear heavily, "You bastard, why are you so forgetful now, can't you finish the sentence in one go? Is there another one?"

My brother said, "No matter what happens, you can't take off the mask."

There was a sound of footsteps in the room, and it must be the father who came out.In a panic, Fuji Quansuke climbed over the railing and hid under the corridor.As the footsteps faded away, the lights of Xi Zhi Dui were quickly extinguished.

Fuji Quansuke entered the room of the servants in the dark under the moonlight, one of them was snoring softly, Fuji Quansuke quickly shook him awake.A hoarse and unfamiliar voice asked in the darkness, "What happened?"

Fuji Quansuke was stunned, "Where is Dingguang Daishin?"

Hearing that hoarse voice, he patted the person lying beside him, and said vaguely "what's the matter?" to Fujikonsuke's ears, it was Dingguang Dajin's voice.

Fuji Quansuke hurriedly said, "I need your help with something, follow me out quickly."

Da Jin said, "Is there anything we can't wait until daytime to talk about?"

Fuji Quansuke was a little annoyed, and raised his voice a little bit and said, "If you are not in a hurry, why bother looking for you at this time?"

Ding Guang Da Jin's consciousness became a little clearer, and only then did he realize that it was the young master who came here, and said quickly, "I'm going to change clothes now, but please wait outside the house for a while."

After a while, Dingguang Dajin walked out from among the attendants.Seeing him coming, Fuji Quansuke turned around and walked to the front corridor, Dingguang Dajin immediately followed.Fuji Quansuke turned his head and said to him, "Let's find a place where there is no one to talk."

So the two of them hid under the pine tree in the north of Huting.Fuji Quansuke said to Da Jin, "I still remember that you have a younger brother who is the same age as me."

Dingguang Dajin thought hard and replied, "There is indeed a younger brother at home, but he is one year older than you."

Fuji Quansuke said, "But, there is no Yuanfu yet."

Dingguang Dajin said embarrassedly, "I don't know when Yuanfu will happen."

Fuji Quansuke was disgusted with Dingguang Dajin's self-righteousness, but because he wanted something from him, he couldn't make fun of it at this time, so he said, "The figure should be about the same as mine, can I get his clothes?"

Da Jin was surprised, "How can I give you the clothes of a servant."

Fuji Quansuke said, "That's what I want to say. Let's take advantage of the night to go back to your house and get a set of your brother's clothes, but if it's a dress, it's easy to wear in the middle of the year."

Da Jin said, "There's no need to be in a hurry for such a small matter. You'll have time to rush over to get it when you see the sun."

Fujikonsuke said, "Always speak without thinking, I want you to dress me up as your younger brother."

Da Jin asked, "What is that for?"

Fuji Quansuke said, "During the son-in-law ceremony, he also took me to the Hongmei Palace."

Dingguang Dajin was very sober now, he repeatedly shook his head and refused, "How can you be so nonsense, I will not easily agree to such a thing."

Fujikonsuke said, "I don't want to discuss it with you, I won't change my mind once I've made up my mind."

Dingguang Dajin thought of him as a teenager, and such an accident happened at a young age, and his concern for Fujinaka Nayan was far more than that of ordinary brothers.He also recalled that during the day, Fuji Quansuke confronted him with all kinds of rumors, because he was afraid that the wedding would give birth to a betrayal.How can we be a villain who doesn't want to get in, and put out this kind of sincerity at such a time?

Dajin thought about it for a long time, and in addition to Fujitsu's tough attitude against him, he agreed to the matter.Taking advantage of the early morning light, he set off from Zuo Jing to You Jing, fetched a set of his younger brother's clothes, and served Fuji Quansuke to put them on.

Even though such a simple dress has no color or pattern, it doesn't make Fujitsu's cuteness any less.After putting it on, it looks like a nobleman's son will go in micro-clothes.In the evening, the team for recruiting a son-in-law was ready, the entourage who led the way lit the torches, and Onomiya's team set off in a mighty way.Under the dim light of the fire, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly.Fuji Gonsuke followed closely behind Sudamitsu Daishin.

Originally, I thought it was just a simple journey, but the journey from the small wild palace to the Hongmei Palace might not be as good as the leader of the team for recruiting a son-in-law. How could I have thought that before visiting the Hongmei Palace, I would go to the official office outside the capital to pray for the groom.Therefore, this long team went to Mount Hiei, and then turned back to the capital after the prayer ceremony was completed.

Fuji Quansuke had never experienced such a hardship before, and he didn't sleep all night last night.Halfway through the walk, my body couldn't hold on.Quickly shouted Dingguang Dajin.Da Jin couldn't help but say, "It's strange, if I knew this, I should have arranged for you to ride on a horse. If you can't hold on, you might as well go back here."

Fuji Quansuke said, "It's too conspicuous to ride on a horse. You can help me for a while, and the distance can be completed."

Dingguang Daijin said, "It's so easy to say, but it's less than halfway away." He insisted on letting Fuji Quansuke ride a horse.Fuji Quansuke was afraid that others would leak the secret, so he never agreed, and he was in a stalemate with Dingguang Dajin.

In this vast mountain forest, there are few people and no lights are lit.Except for the moonlight, the darkness that can't be seen is connected into one piece.Finally, under the bull's head, I saw sparse light spots in the distance.Fuji Quansuke suddenly felt the spring breeze, with Merlin in front, his feet also gained a lot of strength.

At this time, the moon quietly hid behind the dark clouds, and Yanli Temple showed a more reassuring color under the bright lights.The torch leading the way is the first to reach the four-legged gate.All of a sudden, several pine trees came rushing here, telling Fujinaka Nayan's car about something.It was so loud that it could be heard outside the car.

But it can be sent to the ears, only the dense voice, what is said is not very clear.When adults talk about important events, they always deliberately use a whispering gesture, lest they be heard by irrelevant people.But he doesn't hide from outsiders, as if he is afraid that others will not know.Fuji Quansuke was deeply annoyed by this, took advantage of Dajin's negligence, and got into the crowd in front of the bullock cart alone.I heard a strange man saying, "...but please go back here."

In the middle of the conversation, Fuji Quansuke couldn't understand it very well.At this time, Fujinaka Nayan's voice came from the car, "Forgive me, there must be no mistakes in what happened tonight."

The strange man's voice was a little flustered, "If you don't listen to the advice at this time, you will be the one who will be embarrassed. If you go back alone, even if the car stops on the Red Plum Palace, it will still count."

The elder brother said, "You don't need to talk about this matter again. In the wedding of recruiting a son-in-law, the groom will be considered a marriage if he does not come to the woman's house. I have never heard of such a precedent."

The strange man said, "Since you have said so, I am an outsider, so it is inconvenient for me to interfere." After a while, he said, "There is a sentence that the Minister of Hongmei Palace told me not to tell. Promise, to tell you the truth, Miss Daban is not in the Hongmei Palace at this time, and going there is not of much use."

Fujinaka was silent.Suddenly there was a night wind blowing in, howling loudly as it passed through the woods, no wonder there was such a description as ghost crying wolf.Fuji Quansuke heard the sound of "whooping" from the wind, and didn't know what was going on, so he took a few steps back and squeezed his body out of the crowd.

At this time, even though there was another voice behind him, but because he couldn't hear the content clearly, he completely ignored it.When no one was paying attention, Fuji Gonsuke's heart was pounding, he spread his legs, and ran away in the direction he came and went.
