Sad Jiangnan

Chapter 9

Fuji Quansuke is actually a very smart person, but he could think of far away places when he was not in Yuanfu.For example, the father and the woman were in the daffodil field at that time, and it soon occurred to him that the elder brother was also very clear about this secret.I should understand very well in my heart that things like this cannot be put on the table.As for myself, I am just an insignificant child, questioning someone for no reason is just like a stupid thing that shakes a tree. In the end, there will be no change except collapse.Therefore, I keep this matter firmly in my heart and live in peace with my family.

Soon one day, the ox cart that my father came back was a little different from usual.The car was very crudely equipped, as if it was running slightly, and it drove from the west gate to the wing of the west hall, untied the oxen, and put the shaft on the railing.The father got out of the car first, and then a girl in sweater got out of the car, and kept hiding behind her father, showing the posture of a baby bird.

Fuji Quansuke happened to be in the north chamber of the main hall. Hearing that there was a lot of movement here, he was naturally attracted.When his father saw it, he flapped his fan too, and Jiao Zuojin greeted him loudly, "Second Young Master, the master invited you over!"

Just before the curtain was opened, Fuji Quansuke saw the girl, but he was thinking in his heart, if I hadn't had my head warmed up just now, and I went here to see the scenery, maybe I wouldn't be called by my father.There are many things, like the rocks under the winter snow, the love affair in the tall gate, and the time to get along with others is only a short moment.The person who doesn't want that private affair to be revealed the most is the person who bumps into it.

Fujikonsuke didn't move for a long time.Zuo Jin yelled again, if he didn't show anything, his father's place would be ugly, so he had to pass through the corridor to the west hall.Before entering the wing room, I saw that the curtains all around were drawn down, and the bedroom and wing room were also separated by layers of curtains, and a single room was separated in the bedroom.The girl was different from the big one just now, she also came to the dormitory, even though separated by a curtain, she was very affectionate to the elder brother who was seated, and often had to see the other side through the gap.

Fuji Quansuke stuck in place for a while, and his father called out to him, and then he responded, "What's the matter, come in quickly, your sister is waiting."

Fuji Quansuke thought to himself, "For no reason, how come there is an extra sister, not to mention that women can't take away from their mother at will. Is this the daughter of Mrs. Konoe or the lieutenant general? I have never heard of it before." Thinking again "I don't know what to worry about. I'm already a person who has already taken over. How can I see a strange girl like this?" As he sat in the private room, he asked his father, "Where is this sister? "

The father avoided answering, pulled the boy to his side, looked at Fuji Quansuke and said, "Okay, this is the second brother." When she stood up, her height did not reach her waist.Just looking at the face, it seems to be older than the body length shows, and it looks a little delicate and cute.But it was not yet the time to know and understand, swept away the shyness and timidity that had just entered the door, and came to Fuji Quansuke with extra boldness, and looked at his face carefully.

In his heart, Fuji Quansuke had some resistance to this girl of unknown origin, although he didn't show it deliberately, his expression was unknowingly stiff.The girl saw Fuji Quansuke staring at her motionlessly, as if hating him, and felt scared in her heart. She still didn't like his appearance, so she quickly hid behind her father and said, "I want to sleep."

But her father pulled her to the front and said seriously, "I wanted to come here, so I shouldn't mess around. Brother, don't you like it here?" He asked someone to bring some exquisite picture books and fruits to appease the girl.The girl still dodged in a daze, she didn't dare to look at Fuji Gonsuke's face, instead she cast her eyes outside the curtain.

Fuji Quansuke asked again, "Where did this kid come from? I've never heard you talk about it before." He thought to himself, if it wasn't for the sake of his father, if his brother hadn't lost his temper, he would have made such a fuss in his heart. It's an angry look.

The father said, "I will tell you about this matter later, but the funeral has just passed. Some things I said outside, I am afraid it will not sound good." Then he said to Fuji Quansuke, "Her name is Nadeshiko, and it belongs to the two of you. Sister, if you want to live here for a while, you must love her sincerely."

I just felt that although these words came from the heart, they were very pretentious, Fuji Quansuke remained silent.After a while, the person who delivered the paintings came, and when Nadeko saw such an exquisite thing, she immediately smiled, and her eyes were completely attracted to it.Father took some fruit and put it in her hand, and she just stuffed it into her mouth, and if there was anything left that she couldn't eat, she put it back into her father's hand and concentrated on looking at the painting.

Fujikonsuke thought, "He is a child who is completely ignorant, and there is no trace of etiquette and upbringing."

After a while, his father made an even more excessive request, "I told you earlier that your brother is very good at music, and you are eager to learn from him. I brought you here specially for this purpose. matter, now you don’t mention a word?”

Nadeko didn't look at those picture albums anymore, but just buried her head very low, hugging her father with both arms, very embarrassed.But at this moment, the elder brother who was a few tents outside said, "Go and get the kite." Then Dingguang gave orders, followed by hurried steps, as if two people had gone out.

Looking at the curtain embroidered with maple leaves, Fujiquan couldn't believe it for a long time.My father said again, "Go and get a flute, it's the time when the orchestral strings and bamboos are gradually picking up." Then he said to Fuji Quansuke, "Let's play together with my brother, it's rare to have such a time."

When I say this, it seems like a taboo has been violated, and the mourning period has just passed, so I really don't know how to measure it.Up to this time, I thought my father was going to order the servants to prepare snacks to cheer up the fun, but fortunately he didn't make any moves so that the situation wouldn't get worse.

Nadeko raised her head, her soft hair fell on top of her red plum-colored sweater, like a maple leaf falling on autumn water, and asked, "Do you want to play the Iroha song?"

Fuji Quansuke said, "Just now I said that the funeral is not long past, and now we are going to play music again. It's really bad." After hearing this, Nadeko heard this, and his originally rosy face turned pale, but after a while With the effort, his eyes were shining brightly, and there were tears waiting to be vented, and he said in his mouth, "Aren't you going to play anymore?"

Unexpectedly, my brother said at this time, "There is nothing wrong with playing sad music."

The father did not speak, but stroked Nadeko's hair with his hand.After a while, the instruments were all ready, and my brother was tuning the zither.But Fuji Quansuke was very unwilling in his heart. The elder brother who always rejected people thousands of miles away, what happened today?Normally, even if everything is arranged properly, there are still a lot of complaints and abuse.Only this girl who had never seen her before came here today, and she was infinitely tolerant, what a strange thing!As for my father, although he has always liked me very much, recently he has become a little cold because of his adulthood.In my impression, I have never been so soft-spoken as I am now. I just saw my father's attitude, and he is so spoiled that he has no rules at all.Even though he is never stingy with such dispensable private pets on weekdays, he didn't realize that this kind of petting has completely become a taboo until he put it on someone else's head one day.It turns out that pampering can only be called pampering if it is placed on a specific person.

At this time, the zither sounded three or two times outside the curtain.It was the end of summer, and it was only when I heard the sound of the zither that I realized that there were still cicadas singing in the yard.Interspersed with the melody at this time, it makes people want to cry.

Fuji Quansuke put the flute horizontally to his mouth, he just felt that the love and music were perfect, and he didn't know how to play it together.After playing for a while, I felt that although it was not unpleasant, it was difficult to harmonize with the Zhonglu tune, and it was extremely harsh, so I gradually stopped playing it.Some attendants, because they heard music and thought about people, and thought of Prince Udone playing the piano while he was alive, tears fell down their clothes without realizing it.

Fujikonsuke thought, "This kind of face is really sad. But I just feel that the music is sad, and I don't feel sad at all. It's not impossible for me to make a gesture, but I don't want to do it." Only nodded his head, motionless, as if serious.

Nadeko put her head on her father's lap and leaned against her father, with her eyes wide open and a faint smile on her lips.I just think the song is nice, after all, I haven't reached the age of touching the scene.

Seeing her appearance, Fujiquan didn't find it as annoying as it was at first.

After a long time, a person came to visit from time to time. The ox cart he was riding in drove from the west gate to the front of the west opposite hall.Occasionally, I would ride a horse alone, wear plain clothes, and visit the opposite temple in the west.

Usually at this time, the news among the servants is always very well informed, so Fuji Quansuke asked Ruojun, "Who is this person from over there?"

Ruojun said, "It seems to be the son of Minato Nagon." Fuji Gonsuke thought to himself, I heard that the Genji family in Heyuanyuan has always been sparsely populated, so this person must be the one who served as the head of the Tibetan and Zuo Zhongbian. .Then he asked Ruojun, "Which room is brother in now?"

Ruojun asked, "Do you want to visit him now?"

Fuji Quansuke said, "I'll ask casually, you just answer it." Ruojun truthfully told the location, it was in the wing room on the west and east.

Fujiquan thought, this location is not hidden, there are no trees along the way to cover it, it is too strange to go alone, and people will definitely notice it.He said to Ruojun, "This name Yuanyuanben has a bad reputation in the Peace Palace, and he has always had a lot of thoughts. He visits my house so frequently, and I don't know what he is greedy for. I'm afraid something will happen to my father and brother."

Ruo-kun, of course, was not aware of the conversation between Nagon Fujinaka and Yuanyuanben. After hearing Fuji Gonsuke's analysis, he asked in fear, "Then what should we do?"

Fuji Quansuke said, "Then, I'll go and meet him. I just don't want to teach unrelated people about this. You can find some excuses to dismiss the people on duty in the corridor."

However, Ruojun looked distressed, "Suddenly I was asked to think of a way, and I may not be able to think of it." This Ruojun is a younger brother of Daisuke Fujikonsuke's nurse, and when he was elected to Onomiya, he was honest and cute because of his appearance. , actually a little stupid.Fuji Quansuke was a little angry when he said this, and scolded him, "I want to go out, I want to load the car, or I have a sudden stomachache, and I want to eat some hot food. These are all ways. Even if you teach them to run errands It's all right!"

Ruojun suddenly realized, "That's right." He ran out quickly.But after a while, poked his head out from behind the tents again, and greeted Fuji Quansuke, "Young master, it's alright."

As for Fujikonsuke, he couldn't help but feel at ease, thinking that Ruojun's work, although those who sometimes rework and get twice the result with half the effort because of their stupidity, are not necessarily a rough person.Fuji Quansuke leaned out from the inner room to have a look, he didn't know what method he used, and sure enough, there was no one attendant left in the hall of Ruo Zidu, so he ran out quickly.

Outside the wing close to Xi Zhi Dui, the windows were open, and voices could be heard clearly.Fuji Quansuke was in the courtyard and didn't know how to hide. He saw that there was a lattice window that hadn't been removed, and heard the sound of coughing inside, thinking that it was so.Just hide outside the lattice window.

A distant voice from the window said, "Why aren't you here today?"

It must be the source.Fuji Quansuke was wondering about this passage, and his brother replied, "Today, she went to visit the monk capital of Todaiji Temple with her father." Some hoarseness could be heard in the voice.

Toubian said, "These days, you are actually very hard."

The wind outside was a bit cold, my brother coughed twice and said, "It's just teaching her to copy the copybooks and learn to play the piano, nothing else."

Toubian said, "I'm really sorry to say this in front of you! Nadeko's mother has also recently contracted a serious illness and is recuperating in a temple in the mountains. It would be too pitiful for this child to wear mourning clothes."

But my brother said, "I don't want to talk about such things, and I haven't done anything particularly careful. It's just a way to pass the time in my spare time."

Touben said, "I also know that you are very cold in words, but in fact you didn't act that way. The day before yesterday I came to visit Nadeko, and I deliberately brought the copybook in front of me and said, 'Look! I made this.' How pitiful. Sit down and talk to her, most of what you talk about is about you. After a while, I bring a doll, put a round piece of paper with facial features on its face, and insist that it is you! Thinking about it, it is very uncomfortable Sensible, even my own brother doesn't recognize him."

My brother said, "It's the first time I've seen me since I was born, and my father may not have visited me a few times. I'm not sensible now, so it doesn't matter. I'm too young, and I have to spend some time wearing clothes."

Toubian said, "I don't know why, but I just like you very much. Speaking of which, is there another young master in this house?"

Hearing talking about himself, Fuji Gonsuke's heart couldn't help beating.

My brother said, "It's better not to see him. He doesn't know all about it. He should be able to understand when he's older. But, he's still a little self-willed." It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he didn't go on, and coughed again. When he got stronger, he couldn't say more, Yuanyuanbian had no choice but to leave.The hoarse voice stopped him, "She wants to see my face, please tell her not to do it again."

The source said, "Please forgive me for causing you discomfort. Nadeko said, 'Your mask is very beautiful.' I mean it from the bottom of my heart."

The elder brother's voice suddenly became very fatherly, "That's meaningless words."

This time, he really retreated from the room.

From this position, I saw a man in a crimson dress with purple fingernails, walking around from the side room to the scorpion.According to the theory, you can leave Onomiya by going west.Surprisingly, he actually walked in the direction of Fuji Gonsuke.Fujikonsuke was unprepared for a moment, and the appearance of squatting under the lattice window was being bumped by Yuanben.

Usually in the Qingliang Palace, I could see this person occasionally, mixed in the crowd, the whole area was glowing red, and I never paid much attention to him.This time the two looked at each other.Gengyuanben held the fan in one hand, and was about to retract it into the straight clothes, but the movement stopped halfway, and the expression on his face seemed to be frozen.

Fuji Quansuke thought to himself, well, then we can't run away, why don't we just look at him generously.He squinted his eyes and looked at him.

Yuanyuanbian turned his head to look at the wing room again, then maintained that silence, even though he was still holding the fan in his hand, he turned in one direction and walked out.

Fuji Quansuke kept his appearance firmly in his heart, and thought, what I saw was a pair of eyes with desire for women.Such a man is the easiest to talk sweet words, men and women like to hear his good words.But I am the only one who can see his real appearance very clearly.
