[Brother War] On the heroine's self-cultivation

"Miss Fujiwara, don't touch the tatami with your palms, but keep your palms slightly empty. Put your hands in the shape of two sides of an equilateral triangle, yes, very good, with your elbows against the tatami and your arms close to your body." Gently corrected The person kneeling in front of him moved, and the woman in a purple kimono knelt and watched gracefully for a while, then continued in a gentle voice, "Okay, get up now. Inhale slowly, bend your upper body, this It takes three seconds to move, and then stay still for three seconds. Okay, continue to straighten up, and the hands will naturally slide down to the thighs. If it is wrong, the left hand should precede the right hand."

The girl who was also wearing a pink and white kimono finally stood up.

"Okay, breathe out slowly."

The width of the chest gradually decreased following this command.

"Okay, do it again. Breathe in..."

She bowed again.

Until this process was repeated nearly 100 times, the woman who had maintained the most perfect kneeling posture and remained motionless finally let go, "It's ok, let's take a rest."

The girl didn't dare to relax, so she offered another style of salutation, "Thank you, Teacher Sasakura, for your guidance."

The woman called Sasakura-sensei finally showed a satisfied smile.

Ema, who had been kneeling for nearly three hours, finally let go of her tense body and knelt down on the ground.In fact, she wanted to lie down without any image, but those legs were no longer her own, and she couldn't move even if she wanted to.

Uehara Kazuya, who came in from the outside, also picked her up by the waist, helped her adjust a posture and sat on the tatami amidst her muffled groans, straightened her legs and rubbed her legs alternately.

At the beginning, she didn't feel any pain, but only felt a slight pinprick numbness. After a while, the bone-gouging pain spread from her knee, which made her gasp and her throat hurt a little. Physiological Tears rolled in circles uncontrollably in his eyes.

The most painful thing was that Teacher Sasakura was resting in the Japanese room next to her, so she couldn't even yell and vent, so she could only grab Kazuya Uehara's clothes and pull hard.

Half an hour later, she was finally able to stand up and walk around, and Kazuya Uehara's clothes were already unreadable.

Ema, whose legs were relieved, began to rub her waist and beat her shoulders while turning in circles. She felt as if she had been thrown into a front-loading washing machine and tumbling and spinning for three days and three nights, and her whole body was out of control.

"It's really my own fault..." As tough as she was, she couldn't help but muttered self-deprecatingly.

Three days after the holiday, she went to Kyoto by herself for the filming of "Emperor Xiaoqian", and found Ms. Sasakura, the court etiquette instructor known as the "royal model", to seek flogging and learn a complete set of etiquette.

At first, Sasakura disagreed. From her point of view, etiquette education should be cultivated and carried through from childhood. How could it require a few months of surprise to achieve short-term results?Ema vowed that she was not only for filming, but also sincerely admired this kind of etiquette, and would continue to learn and maintain it in the future.

Under her stalking, Ms. Sasakura finally nodded and said that within these two months, she would use the most stringent methods to make her reach the level she required.

Ema said: Please feel free to...

Then there is the miserable state of life and death every day.

Ema, who had only been able to study for two weeks, stared blankly at the courtyard outside the door, wondering whether she would have the life to get out alive.

After eating a lunch in which I repeated the action of carrying a bowl and drinking soup thirty times, and taking a nap in which I corrected my lying posture twenty times, it was time for the cultural class in the afternoon.

Sasakura first checked the posture of turning the pages of the book she had practiced before, and then picked out a Japanese song for her to read to herself. What emotions are brewing.After reading that feeling, let her recite it again, and she didn't stop training this skill until she could keep the tone beautiful and full of emotion while recitation.

Next is writing.She has already completed the standards for the postures of holding the pen, dipping the ink and writing, and she only needs to learn such a frame temporarily, but Ms. Sasakura saw that the Chinese characters she wrote are still decent, so she added requirements Let her write thirty large and two small characters every day.

Then there is chess, which is relatively simple. She is not required to know how to play chess. Let her master the most basic rules and the most beautiful twist and move postures. Just review it every day.

The last is the most painful piano art class.The most important traditional musical instruments in Japan are shakuhachi, koto, sanxian and biwa. Sasakura’s request is to play a short piece of music with each of these four instruments. The track is the traditional ballad " sakura".For Ema, it is just memorizing the different fingerings of the four musical instruments... Can she be thankful that the traditional Japanese musical instrument is not a piano?

Dinner was still the same.

After dinner is tea ceremony class, this class is to test all her descriptive manners.There are specific etiquettes for a tea party, from walking, standing, sitting, sending, picking up tea bowls, drinking tea, looking at tea sets, to wiping bowls, placing objects and talking.In the two hours from the beginning to the end, she had to make herself conform to Sasakura's aesthetic requirements from the tone of her words to the gestures of her actions, and Sasakura's aesthetic requirements are generally perfect-perfect.

It is usually nine o'clock after the tea party. At this time, Ema is so tired that she can't lift her fingers, and she can almost close her eyes while sitting.It's just that she set homework for herself, and practiced repeatedly what she learned in the day against the script.Every scene of Emperor Xiaoqian in the play, she acted out countless times in front of the mirror by herself.

Of course, when she needs to speak lines or has a rival show, she will unceremoniously order Kazuya Uehara, so that Kazuya Uehara, who was originally just a spectator, can recite half of the lines.

Two months later, Ema lost five catties after finishing the devil training.

Nishimura Nako, who drove to pick her up, was so distressed that she was about to cry.

"Why do you have to do this..." Even so, she also knew that the girl she had grown up with had her own pursuit of perfectionism.

Ema, who is already used to her body, doesn't feel tired now, and comforted her half-jokingly, "It's good to learn more. I won't be an actor in the future, and maybe I can support myself with this." The two-month closure She has always spoken in an elegant and noble language in her life, which makes it difficult for her to talk to others now.

But Nishimura Nako thought it was very good, "I thought it was a lady from some family."

She pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, take me to Ninenzaka and Sannennzaka first, and bring some souvenirs back." Ninenzaka and Sannennzaka are two very traditional streets in Kyoto. Although I don't plan to play, it is more convenient to buy some special products there.

After arriving at the destination, the gray sky began to drizzle, so Ema bought a retro oil paper umbrella from a shop on the street, and matched it with the light onion color that Ms. Sasakura did not change. The kimono looks like a model in a roadside kimono shop.Fortunately, there are many people dressed like this on this traditional old street, and she didn't attract too much attention when she covered her face with an umbrella.

Ema walked and watched, thinking about the characteristics and hobbies of the brothers, carefully choosing different gifts.

Delicate men's embroidered patchwork handkerchief, this Yachen who is good at sewing should like it.Ukyo has very good taste, and a set of Kyoto-yaki with delicate texture and maple leaf pattern should be very suitable for him.If necessary, Ema chose a set of professional fans, which are fans used in temples and other places. For him, they can be used and admired.Light...can you not bring it to him?

Although Ema didn't want to make herself appear narrow-minded, she really didn't have any affection for the fourth brother who always wanted to make trouble.After thinking about it, I suppressed my disgust and bought a set of cosmetics for geisha—well, I was full of disgust.

Next, I bought Tsubaki a set of Kyoto-style gastronomy that I have been looking for for a long time, silver ornaments that Azusa likes, jujube... Given the limited contacts, I really don’t know what he likes.But judging by the image of him always being an office worker in a suit and leather shoes, a tie made by Nishijin seems to be good?

Lucy likes to make up. She bought the most famous facial oil paper in Kyoto...but she won't use it on herself in the end, will she?Ang is not very familiar with it, he just knows that he likes basketball, but he doesn't seem to like drinking tea, um...buy some matcha for him.Qi Zhi is a young man of literature and art, and likes all kinds of beautiful things with style, but the relationship between the two of them is relatively good, and she wants to choose something ingenious.

While walking and looking, she suddenly found a flower shop. Of course, what attracted her was not the flowers inside, but a glass flower arrangement at the door of the shop.Just as she walked over to pick it up, the other hand reached out at the same time as her.

He moved the umbrella back a little and looked sideways. It was a man who was also wearing a kimono and holding a paper umbrella. What was a little uncoordinated was that he was wearing sunglasses, covering most of his face.Even so, she recognized him.

"Mr. Fukuyama?"

"Uniform?"

The other party also recognized her.

It is impossible for two people not to recognize each other. One is a representative of the new generation of Japanese actresses, and the other is the most famous actor in Japan who has been acting for nearly 30 years and is almost unsurpassed. Moreover, when she was five years old, she was in a play with him Played father and daughter, and this drama is the classic that made them famous for each other.

Masamu Fukuyama, who took off his sunglasses, showed her a slightly surprised familiar smile, "I really didn't expect to meet you here."

Ema looked at the man who was clearly in his 40s and looked to be in his early thirties, and sighed in his heart that the man had good looks.Nodding and smiling habitually, "Long time no see, Senior Fukuyama."

"Yes, ten years have passed since the last time we cooperated, and Ms. Fujiwara has grown more and more beautiful." Masahiro Fukuyama seemed to realize that she had changed from a child to a girl, and changed her name.

As expected of the person known as "the most attractive man in Japan", just being stared at by him, the kind of mature man's smell like old wine made her a little drunk.

"You can continue to call me Uniq, you are my respected senior." Even if she is very popular now, she will not be presumptuous in front of the other party, after all, there is a gap in qualifications between the two.

Fukuyama quickly changed back.

The two had a brief exchange. It turned out that he is the image spokesperson of Kyoto, and he would come here every year to take some promotional photos.Ema also told him to prepare for the new play by himself, which attracted unstinting praise from the other party.

"Although Uniform was still a child when we cooperated for the first time, I saw at that time that you have a very professional actor quality. It was a very pleasant cooperation for me." Fukuyama's tone is very sincere, which makes people respect his every Every sentence has a sense of conviction.

"Speaking of which, does Uniform know that we will have a second cooperation in this "Emperor Xiaoqian"?"

"Eh? I didn't say that the male lead was confirmed before." Of course, Ema didn't think that the other party would play a small supporting role. The reason why the size of the leading actor in "Emperor Xiaoqian" is uncertain is because the crew has been hesitating. There are three people who look very similar in the play, whether to use three actors to play each role or let one person play the role of the triangle.

Now it seems that one person should be assigned to play the triangle.

Ema believes Fukuyama Chang has this ability.

"Then I should be under pressure." Ema said half-truthfully.

"No." His eyes flicked over her like water, "It should be me, I have to work harder."

Suddenly, Ema's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of heat climbed up her cheeks.

Just at this moment, Kazuo Uehara, who was in charge of carrying the bag and paying the money, also called out from behind, and she quickly turned around and responded, hiding her inexplicable blushing before bidding farewell to him.

"Then I'll ask Senior Fu for advice when we're filming."

"Well, I'll contact you when I have time."

Seeing the back of the girl walking away with steady steps but with a figure as light as a butterfly, Fukuyama Masaru was caught off guard for a moment.After recovering, he smiled self-consciously, put on his sunglasses, turned and left the place where he met by chance.
