[Comprehensive] Comb girl

"Marry, marry the chief?" Ah Ding repeated.

Isamu Kondo already has a wife in the countryside and a concubine in Kyoto.But for such a rich and powerful man, there are probably never too many women.

Ah Ding thought about it carefully, and it was indeed a good choice for the Suzuki family.

Suzuki came from a poor village, and the eldest sister raised a low-level samurai with the livelihood of her family.Ah Ding—Suzuki's younger sister, if she doesn't come to Kyoto, she will find a poor farmer in the countryside to marry.The best is nothing more than being a concubine for a wealthy gentry.

This kind of thing, Ah Ding was very clear when he was alive.The relationship between her and the young master is almost the same, but she doesn't even have the name of a concubine, and she is an unknown lover because of wishful thinking.

If you marry the leader of the Shinsengumi, it will be completely different.Suzuki will be promoted, and the younger sister does not need to marry a farmer. The fate of the family may change in this way.

It is good that poor and lowly people can survive and barely climb up. They don't have the capital to care about so much.

"How?" Suzuki Yoshitaro asked, his eyes widened, "You came to Kyoto originally to earn dowry money."

Ah Ding was in some trouble.

She doesn't care whether she gets married or not, because she won't stay in the capital forever.When leaving, borrow the power of Fu Sangshen to modify the history, and everything will be resolved.

But thinking of Kondo's majestic appearance, Ah Ding was a little scared.

Suzuki saw that she kept her head down and said nothing, so she said: "Think about it first, the director also said that you will stay for a while. Even if it's a blind date, you have to meet three times first."

Ah Ding nodded: "Then I... think about it."

So Suzuki left contentedly, presumably to give the director an answer.

Ah Ding exhaled.

She couldn't live and eat for free at Nishi Honganji Temple, so she helped the women in the back kitchen to work together.She was the lowest maid in the past, so she worked extremely neatly.She is diligent and hardworking, so she gradually becomes popular among the women in the back kitchen.

People often joked: "Don't be a hairdresser, just stay and work in the kitchen."

In this way, someone will retort: ​​"How can you earn more as a cook than for combing Miss Qianjin's hair? What do you know!"

Ah Ding didn't care about these words, he just wanted to see Yamato Mori again.But Yamato Mamoru also deliberately avoided her, and never showed up.After a while, Yao Yan couldn't help but said: "My lord, why don't you go back to this pill."

Before coming, Sanriyue also told him that there is no need for the lord to complete the task.Based on Yamato Shou'an's post-fallen temperament, he would never go back with the Lord easily.As long as the lord retreats in the face of difficulties and stops saying these naive words in the future, that's enough.

Seeing Ah Ding's worried appearance every day, Yao Yan really couldn't bear it.

"That can't be done, Master California is still waiting for me." A Ding shook his head, and said with difficulty, "I can't do what I promised, that's really annoying. If Yamato Mamoru doesn't show up, I will will keep waiting.”

Drug research is a little puzzled.

——Wouldn’t it be good to retreat in the face of difficulties?Go back and plead with Sanriyue Palace, maybe everything will be resolved.Why wait here all this time, doing useless work?

Unfortunately, Ah Ding still has no plans to return to Honmaru.

On this day, Xiao Jing from the back kitchen came to Ah Ding and told her that the Atago Quanxian Day in Kyoto was in the evening, and asked her to tidy herself up and go out to play together at night.

Not long after A Ding first arrived, he barely knew that the Atago Quangen God is popular in Kyoto recently, and there is also an Enryuji Temple dedicated to offering incense.The women are probably the same as Xiaojing, worshiping the statue of Bian Caitian today, and enshrining the shrine of Atago Quanxian the next.

No matter what you do, Ah Ding will only pay attention to one thing - Yamato and keeping stability.So, she asked Xiaojing: "Is Captain Chongtian going? If he doesn't go, I'll just stay in the garrison."

Xiaojing looked accustomed to it, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I knew you wanted to ask Captain Okita. He will go too, with the other adults."

Ah Ding thought: In this case, she has no reason not to go.What if Okita's mood improves and Mamoru Yamato is willing to come out to meet her?

The Yuanri Festival in Kyoto must be more lively than that in the countryside.At night, the lights are brighter than usual.There are two long streets covered with various stalls.Some people are selling colorful sweets, imported porcelain, and a litter of chirping chicks; in addition, there are also games such as throwing pots, guessing people, and archery.

The streets are crowded, clogs are trampled back and forth, and the noise is everywhere.A string of lanterns hanging from the eaves was blown by the wind blown by the crowd.Suddenly someone shouted "God's ride——", and the crowd suddenly gave way to let the god seat carried by eight strong men pass through the middle of the street.

A group of children in colorful clothes followed behind, beating and beating, with candies sprinkled in their hands.As soon as the candy fell to the ground, several barefoot children quickly crawled from the ground to pick it up.They nimbly scurry between the adults' legs, like a group of little monkeys.

"Ah Ding, look at this, look at this." Xiaojing suddenly pointed to a stall and said, "I really want that doll. Is there anything you want? Let's go and ask Mr. Tamura of the third team for help, shall we? "

What she was referring to was a game stall where ten cents could draw five arrows, and the gift that was shot down could be taken away.On the ground painted with big white circles, some rather delicate prizes were placed in a decent manner.

Just then, Okita came over.

In fact, he has been around for a long time, but Ah Ding has been with his girlfriend all the time, so it is not convenient for him to come here.Hearing that someone needed help, he came very readily and said, "My archery is better than Tamura, let me do it."

His unabashed and boastful appearance made several women grin.Because they knew who Okita came for, there was a sense of humor in their smiles.

"A Ding, what do you want?" Okita took the bow from the boss and turned to ask A Ding.

Ah Ding glanced at the prizes, he was a little unsure about making a decision, and said, "They all look good, I've never seen such beautiful things in the countryside. Captain Okita can make a decision...I really can't say."

Gorgeous glass beads, a golden-looking makeup box, and colorful rouge are all very attractive things.

"Okay." Okita smiled, set up the arrow, and aimed carefully, his hands tensed.The next moment, the arrow flew out like a gust of wind.

Two circles of thick cloth were tied on the arrow to prevent the prizes from being shot.Even so, Okita's arrow still slammed the prize out fiercely, and the "bang" sound when it hit was really scary.

Five arrows in a row hit all of them, and the boss looked very heartbroken.

"What are you playing?" A majestic voice suddenly came from beside Ah Ding.She looked up and saw that it was Isamu Kondo.He put his hands in Haori's sleeves, and said in a joking tone, "It's been a long time since I saw the chief executive showing such a childish expression."

Okita put down his bow and replied with a smile: "Ah Ding wants those prizes. I will try to play twice and get all the prizes."

"Do you want Ah Ding?" Kondo laughed, and waved to the boss, beckoning him to come over.

The boss recognized the group of people in front of him as members of the Xinxuan team, and his legs went limp in an instant.But Kondo's temper is particularly good today, he just said to the boss: "Can I buy these gadgets?"

"Yes, yes." The boss nodded his head.

"Then I'll buy them all." Kondo smiled cheerfully, "There's no need for the chief executive to shoot arrows again and again."

It's better to buy them all than to win them all at once with five cents.The boss's complexion cleared after the rain, and he immediately agreed.Soon, there were a lot of gadgets in Ah Ding's hands, so crowded that they couldn't hold them all.

She hurriedly thanked Kondo, and then distributed the prizes to Xiaojing and Amei.These two girls have always treated her very well, so Ah Ding has something to eat and drink, and never forgets to share it with them.

"Hey, I want this, I want this." Amei excitedly held up one of the makeup boxes, "It's so pretty!" After that, she changed the subject and said, "Director Kondo is really kind to Captain Okita. ah."

"Isn't it?" Xiao Jing said, "I heard that Captain Okita grew up in Director Kondo's dojo when he was a child. Is it the same feeling as a brother?"

A Ding'an listened to the gossip quietly, without saying a word.

After throwing arrows, the women went to play elsewhere.The crowd was crowded, and without realizing it, Ah Ding and Ah Mui got separated.But she remembered the way back to the village, so it wasn't too urgent.

She followed the crowd and accidentally came to a dark place.

Suddenly, a chilling feeling crawled up her back.Ah Ding felt a little cold, and turned around holding his arms.This turn almost made her scream——

I don't know whether to call it a "ghost" or a "monster", squatting quietly behind her.

A pair of ferocious and terrifying eyes locked tightly on Ah Ding's body.Ah Ding could see her own reflection in its eyes—her own face, which was distorted beyond belief by fear.

Black flames like hell flames poured down from his viscous, almost melting body, and an inexplicable rancid smell quietly surrounded Ah Ding.

Standing in front of this monster is like standing in a cemetery.

It seemed to have opened its mouth, and there was a hiss in its mouth, making a hoarse sound like a string being worn out.

"—God Judge."

It was too late, but soon, a shadow passed by, and Yao Yan held a dagger in his hand, and lay in front of Ah Ding.He gritted his teeth and said, "Qingjiang, you take the lord first. If there is only one retrograde army, I can deal with it."

"Wait, Yaoyan..." Ah Ding suppressed the fear in his heart, and said, "I don't feel relieved if you are left alone..."

"It's useless if you stay here." Yao Yan said very bluntly, "As long as you can survive and provide me with strength, that's enough."

Qing Jiang picked up Ah Ding by the waist, jumped to the roof, and said with a smile: "Captain, then I will obey your orders....Ah, it's really shabby with only two cavalry teams going out."

"There is no other way!" Yao Yan said.

——Honmaru has become like that, and there are still people who are willing to fight for the God Judge, that's already very good.

Seeing that Ah Ding was about to leave, the monster suddenly stretched out its hand in the direction of Ah Ding, and let out a strange cry from its throat, the voice was extremely terrifying.

"The Lord...brought...back...to"

It seems to be saying such words.

A Ding nestled in Qing Jiang's arms, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"Master Qingjiang, did I hear wrong?" She tightened Qingjiang's clothes and said, "That monster just called me 'Master'..."

——Master, take me back.

It seems to be saying such words.

Qing Jiang smiled at her and comforted her: "You heard it wrong. The time-traveling army can't speak."
