Sandwiched between the two masters, I am no longer a human being

The New Year festival is like a time node. Before the deadline arrives, every household is busy rushing to work.

The main family members finished their official duties before the festival, and the servants worked hard to decorate the Fushimi Inari Shrine. It is said that on the day of the festival, not only the heads of the three royal families gathered here, but even His Majesty the Emperor would visit in person. The details get to the point of nitpicking.

The fabrics that were sent to the tailor shop were also finished before the New Year's festival. Ayin took the time to take a look, picked three favorite styles, and packed the rest in the closet.

With the window sash half open, the bright sunlight slanted down on the desk. Ayin took advantage of the light to concentrate on sewing stitch by stitch. The slender wool thread was spun by the steel needles, and the beautiful finished product was gradually stitched together. .

Finally, the action that has been repeated thousands of times has come to the end. Ayin deftly narrowed the needle and pulled it away, and casually threw the long steel needle and the remaining ball of wool into Choubao's mouth. She spread it out in satisfaction. After shaking it twice, the fine golden floating light slowly flowed and gathered.

After getting started, besides scarves and gloves, she also made cotton hats in her spare time. She even borrowed materials from her mother-in-law and learned how to make shawl feather weaving from her.

Ayin knew that her craft was definitely not as good as that of a professional who had been in this industry for decades, and she didn't expect those two well-dressed young masters to wear it without disdain.Since it’s a heartfelt chat,? Handmade fabrics, as the brainchild of so many days, should have enough weight.

It is very unlikely that those two will wear these cheap fabrics, so A Yin also let himself go, and brought a lot of private goods into it.

Her eyes moved up and settled on the two small and cute ears on the top of the cotton hat.

Those are two cat ears.

These two cat ears are white with fleece, she stitched them on the top of the hat with wool of the same color, and the matching gloves also have fluff like a cat's meat pad. Imagine the beautiful picture of Gojo Satoru wearing it.

"...Pfft." A Yin was amused by his own brain.

But to be reasonable, Gojo Satoru resembles a large long-haired cat. This cute style of clothing and hat will damage the majesty of the Patriarch, but it has to be said that it fits him very well.

What a cute white cat.

Ayin carefully folded the handmade fabrics and put them in a wooden box. She turned her head and started packing the things she gave to Chanyuan Hui.

It is the same type as the "cat suit" she gave Wujo Wu. She stitched together two dogs with hooked ears. The color of the wool she used was jet black in line with Zenyuan Hui's usual style.

Different from the relaxed and happy state of mind just now, Ayin only felt inexplicably guilty when she was sorting out the "dog hook suit" of Chanyuanhui.

Perhaps Zenyuanhui is both reliable and upright, unlike Wujo Wu, Ayin can fight with the latter unscrupulously, but once the partner is changed to Zenyuanhui, she can't let her hands and feet go, and has a tendency to face her parents or The embarrassment of the teaching director.

During the New Year, he shouldn't mind a little innocuous joke... right?

Ayin thought uncertainly.

The last piece was given to Zenyuan Shiyi.

For the clothes for the little wolf cub, A Yin didn't have much psychological burden, and carried a lot of private goods.

So when Zenyuan received the "warm pajamas" complete with wolf ears, wolf tail, and wolf paws, the expression on his face was wonderful.

Like a fan-shaped statistical chart, three points of gratitude, three points of entanglement and four points of helplessness.

The annual calendar gradually became thinner, the last page of yellowed paper was torn off, the pointer of the annual ring turned a perfect circle, and returned to the original node.

The coldest winter is about to be forgotten, and the soil under the snow is still sleeping, brewing the revival of all things when the rising wind breaks the ice and the willow sprouts.

.........

With intensive preparations, the New Year festival at Fushimi Inari Shrine ushered in the prelude.

It was rare for A Yin to change into a new kimono, with red stripes on a white background, like plum blossoms blooming in frost, making her red pupils clearer and more radiant.

There are few people in the world of conjuration. Even in the annual event, the shrine is far from the level of crowds. This made the flower-growing rabbit who is used to crowded people feel very emotional.

At night, A Yin followed the people up the stone steps, and his wooden clogs knocked on the flat stone steps, making a gentle and dense sound.

In Kyoto, which has a long tradition and culture, such a major festival naturally does not let the incandescent light bulbs disturb the cleanliness, instead of the overly bright incandescent lamps, the lanterns hanging on both sides of the bluestone road are responsible for the important task of lighting. The color is mixed with a touch of gilt gold, and the light is long, guiding the way for those who come.

Fushimi Inari Shrine is one of the most famous shrines in Japan.

At the entrance of the shrine stands a huge torii gate, its red paint has been repainted many times, and it has been preserved for more than 300 years.

A Yin looked up quietly for a while, and when he turned his head, he was caught off guard by a fox statue next to the torii. Eroded by the wind, the small, uneven hollows were filled with cold wind.

In front of the main hall, hundreds of "Thousand Torii" are bathed in the gentle moonlight, forming a road leading to the top of the mountain.

However, in the careful layout of the Yusan Family, the outer two floors near the top of the mountain are covered with barriers, and only people from the main family and above can enter, and those who are separated can only walk around at the foot of the mountain and other places.

Therefore, the most populous and busiest place is at the foot of the mountain. Walking up the thousand torii gates, you can see that the figures are becoming more and more sparse. Light the way forward.

During the New Year's Ceremony, magicians from various families gathered. It was inconvenient for Ah Yin to bring the ugly treasure out, so she held the wooden box as a gift with her own hands, and walked up slowly while visiting the scenery.

Outside the first layer of enchantment, there was still a distance from the top of the mountain, and the Buddhist temple next to A Yin stopped.

The black-haired boy sent her all the way, even though he said "The owner is a busy person, how can he have time to pay attention to you", but he still helped her share a wooden box and accompanied Ayin to climb the mountain.

However, Zenyuan Jinyi could only send her here.

The water-like brilliance on the surface of the enchantment floats faintly, seemingly harmless, but even the Chanyuan knows how troublesome this thing is.The enchantment built by all members of the clan, once touched, it is a piercing pain.

The young man recalled some bad memories, with a slightly ugly expression, he said stiffly: "I can only send it here, and you can go up the rest of the way by yourself. Don't be turned away."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed the wooden box in his hand to her, turned his head and left without looking at A Yin's expression.

"Sorry." A Yin hurriedly stuffed a candy into his palm, "Next time, I will definitely take you to play next time."

"...Who cares?" The black-haired boy snorted.

He walked down the stone steps nonchalantly, and after confirming that he was out of her sight, he quietly peeled off the candy wrapper, and put the crystal clear candy in his mouth. The sweet taste spread from the tip of his tongue to the nerve center, and he couldn't help squinting. squint.

Really.

He muttered, "It's so sweet."

On the other side, Ayin tentatively stretched out his hand towards the barrier, and touched the surface of the barrier as thin as a cicada's wing with his fingertips, rippling the waves, as if protruding into a lake, without any obstruction, and easily passed through.

The enchantment did not reject her.

Ayin let out a sigh of relief, she jumped across the barrier and continued to walk up.

The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the more different the scene you see is from the bottom of the mountain.

If we say that the festival atmosphere at the foot of the mountain is closer to the common people, full of human fireworks.

Then when we came to the mountain peak, there was an illusory fairy air shrouded in it, and the stone statue of fox next to the torii gate, Yushu Yintai, and the torii gate became more and more bright and vivid. Looking closely at the eye sockets of the stone statue, it seems that there is a vague sense of agility His pupils are flickering.

Even the one or two figures that I glimpsed by chance, unconsciously reveal a natural arrogance when walking around, the younger you are, the more so.

No wonder.Which one of the clan's children is not the pride of heaven?

Being able to enter the first layer of enchantment during the New Year Festival is a symbol of identity and status.

Ayin thought of Jinyi's words out of time, and at this moment, she felt the true meaning of "the New Year's ceremony of the Yusanjia is different from ordinary people".

The family of the clan is small, and they all know each other. The partners of each family group together and walk together in twos and threes, and it is rare to be alone.

Only when A Yin appeared alone in their field of vision, someone would startle.

"Is this person a newcomer to the clan? It looks good."

"By the way, there is no family pattern on her clothes. Whose family is this, so unruly?"

At the New Year's festival, in order to show each other's identities, everyone will choose clothes with family crests. Even if they are newly made, they will ask a tailor to embroider the family crests. This is already an unwritten rule, and it has been like this for a hundred years. .

And Ayin's kimono, with red patterns on a white background, looked beautiful, but no matter how they searched, they couldn't find the family crest of Yusanjia, so they questioned it.

If it is an ordinary person who entered by mistake, that is even more impossible.There is an enchantment under the stone steps.

The two people who were talking were the new generations of the Gojo family. At their stone table sat a young man from the Kamo family and a girl from the Zenyuan family.

They are also considered old acquaintances. Every year at the festival, they will get together, put a few plates of pastries, drink tea against the moon, and compose a few haikus, which is quite elegant.

At this time, the curious eyes of several young girls followed, only the girl from the monastery gave an abrupt "ah" and almost knocked over the tea in her hand.

The partners turned their heads to look at her at the same time. The girl in the monastery waved her hands again and again, her face flushed, and her hesitant appearance really aroused their curiosity, so they focused their fire on her and asked questions like cannonballs.

"What's the matter, Sakura, do you know her?"

"Is she from your Chanyuan family? Why have I never seen her before?"

"What's her name? Is it the elder's daughter?"

Zenyuan Ying was very confused by their question. She secretly glanced at the stone steps and saw that the white-haired girl had gone far away and didn't notice the change on their side. Then she secretly relaxed and briefly told A Yin Introduced a lot.

"She just entered the Chanyuan family this year, and came with our Patriarch, and once she entered the Zenyuan family, she lived in the Zongjia territory, next door to the Patriarch's house..."

"The head of the family announced that she is a new shikigami, but as far as I know, she doesn't behave like a shikigami, but she has a human feeling everywhere."

Speaking of the rumors a few months ago, the friends of the other two families also suddenly realized that it is human nature to inquire about gossip. They couldn't help asking Chanyuan Ying, who is this woman?

"I don't know." Zenyuan Sakura pursed her lips, "But the Patriarch cares about her very much."

"I heard my father mention by chance," Zenyuan Sakura's father is an elder, so she can get a lot of inside information, "The head of the family cares about that woman, and even had a stalemate with the Kamo family a few months ago because of her."

"Oh--"

The boy from the Wutiao family immediately leaned back, slowly bit a piece of pastry, and smiled ambiguously: "I see, I understand."

"I understand too."

Everyone looked at each other and saw the same pink bubbles in each other's eyes.

The children of big families are enlightened very early.

As soon as they reminded them, and still put on this expression, Chanyuan Sakura also reacted, and her face changed several times, from "No way", "It's unreasonable that Mr. Lord has not been single for a lifetime" to "So that's the case"...

"Congratulations, Sakura." A group of bad friends raised their glasses to the only girl present with tea instead of wine, "You are about to welcome a mistress. I didn't expect that the patriarch of the Buddhist monastery would be the first to leave the order. I don’t know how many people will lose their wallets.”

"Hey, I thought our Kamo patriarch would be the first to get out of the order... I've bet my pocket money for a year." The young man of Kamo sighed sullenly.

"Hehe, we are different. First of all, Master Wu from our family is excluded, and my brother and I will bet on one of the remaining two, and we will win for sure." This is a boy from the Gotiao family, smiling at his elder brother .

Anyway, it is impossible for Master Wu of their family to get out of the order in this life, don't even think about it, no one wants it.

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]

Chanyuan: Wutiao Wu, reflect on yourself, why are you so unfavorable to your family members.Five:?

Five articles: Your Excellency, don't worry about the Chanyuan, I will make them change.

Chanyuan: Just because of you, a guy who ran away as soon as he got married, and bluntly said "I have no interest in getting married"?

Wutiao: Oh, I used to be young and ignorant.I won't now, right Ayin.

Ayin: Cue me suddenly?
