Chapter 119 Cherry Blossoms Under the Moon
Chapter 119 Cherry Blossoms Under the Moon
Ueno, on the east side of Edo, is a famous spot for viewing cherry blossoms. There is a Kanei Temple there. When the temple was built, it was full of cherry blossoms.From Bigan cherry, Yoshino cherry to Yae cherry, they are in full bloom all the way, and can bloom from March to April from the Peach Blossom Festival.This is the place where common people in Edo enjoy cherry blossoms. It has a long flowering period, covers a wide area, and has a full range of varieties.If there are any deficiencies, it is that you can't sing and dance, and you can't eat wine and meat.Because it is too close to the temple, silence is required.
Ah Yuan and Ah Xian lay side by side on their backs, the petals of the cherry blossoms fell gently as the wind blew.A petal of cherry blossom fell on Ah Xian's face, and Ah Yuan picked it off for him.It's just that his fingers are lingering on Ah Xian's face, and he doesn't want to leave.Ah Xian glared at Ah Yuan from the side, her peachy eyes flickered, and Ah Yuan felt as if someone had pinched the tip of her heart.
"The cherry blossoms are the most beautiful when they fall. I didn't understand why people are willing to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Now it seems that it is really wonderful." Ji Zong's voice came over, and Ah Xian's peach blossom eyes immediately became colder. I shivered.In April, the weather was still cold, and even lying on the tatami floor, a cool air came in from behind.She glanced at Ji Zong resentfully, and said why she promised so happily that day, so she was here waiting to plot against her.
Ah Xian's marriage to Ah Yuan was agreed by both families, so there was no need to wait until Ah Yuan returned to Jiyi.It was done in Edo nearby, and the ceremony in this era was not complicated. Just carry it in at night and drink a glass of wine.Ah Xian made a request, asking Ah Yuan to accompany him to enjoy the cherry blossoms.This matter was not difficult at first, but Ah Xian proposed three days and two nights.This is a bit difficult for Ah Yuan.Every time Ji Zong travels, there are not many followers, and those who are close to him are even more so.That's why Ah Yuan licked his face and asked Ji Zong for marriage leave.At that time, Ji Zong readily agreed, without even teasing.
Ah Yuan was so touched at the time, she kept scolding herself in her heart, guessing Ji Zong's mind casually.Ji Zong is not the kind of person who is waiting to step on her. For her happy life, he doesn't even make fun of him!She thought that Ji Zong would have some problems or tricky conditions.Aside from being moved, she made up her mind in her heart that she would never slander Jizong in private again.
This kind of emotion reached its peak when she saw several carriages and entourage sent to her by Ji Zong when she was traveling.This is the benefit, the luxurious cherry blossom viewing tour for three days and two nights, is there any?Seeing this battle, Ah Xian was also surprised. There are so many great names in Edo, but there are very few who value their retainers so much.He looked at A Yuan with some admiration, and A Yuan even bragged about it.For example, how much the master values him, how much he cannot do without her and so on.
When they arrived at the cherry blossom viewing place, under the envious eyes of everyone, the attendants spread out the tatami mats neatly, erected curtains as tall as a person around them, lit braziers, and brought out tables for tea and food.That is to say, it is open and has a certain degree of privacy, and the cherry blossom viewing place with heating is set up. Let alone three days and two nights, it is okay to stay for a few more days.Ah Xian was even a little embarrassed, she didn't expect Ah Yuan to be so thoughtful.Three days and two nights, one problem is that I am asking for leave, and the other is that the weather in early spring is still cold, and it is difficult to stay overnight.Who knew that Ah Yuan could solve it so easily.Looking at Ah Xian's softened eyes, Ah Yuan felt like she was going to float.
However, when she saw the last thing that came down from the horse, she snapped and fell to the ground.The still stubborn girl's heart was broken into countless pieces.Those who got off the carriage were not things, but her master Ji Zong, and her concubine Yu Suma, and the last one who smiled at her as if watching a show was San Langzuo.Ah Yuan wanted to slap her mouth, how could she believe it, when the master readily agreed, she should have thought of it.She also boasted that the master couldn't do without her, yes, it has come true now, this is called the reward of the present world.
"Master" Ah Yuan's voice was obviously crying.
"You don't need to be too polite, just treat me as a member of the entourage. With the honor of your newlyweds, I can come out to enjoy the cherry blossoms openly." Ji Zong said tolerantly.
But Ah Yuan's heart is bitter, the master is by her side, how can she take advantage of eating tofu, she is still newly married.What's even more tragic is that Ji Zong followed up, and she immediately changed from very miserable to even more miserable.
"Well, it's not only for viewing cherry blossoms, but also for three days and two nights, which is really good." As he spoke, Yu Suma sat under a cherry blossom tree.
"Xian." Ah Yuan didn't look at the two who were enjoying themselves, they were the masters and she was the servant, but why should she be so arrogant.She turned to A-Xian for comfort, but A-Xian gave her a cold look, "It's really an exciting three days and two nights, don't worry about it! Such a good wedding gift, I will remember it forever."
"Axian, Axian, listen to my explanation, I really don't know." Ah Yuan pitifully chased Axian who turned his head to the other side and explained, chasing and shouting "Don't go, don't go , if you go far"
Ah Xian paused, and when Ah Yuan caught up, Ah Yuan gasped and said, "It's too far away, it's dangerous." She gestured to Ji Zong with her eyes.The adults of her family are also people of status now, and they often encounter stabbings when they go out. The status is not high, but it is also very dreadful.Therefore, no matter whether others knew that Ji Zong went out to enjoy the cherry blossoms, the guards in the open air were so weak, like a piece of delicious meat, calling to the wolves.Still by her side, safer, with more guards.Under the premise that the relationship between the two cannot be separated at all, it is safest to guard the guards, no, no, no, guarding the comb.
Ah Xian was very angry, it turned out that not only the two onlookers were given as gifts, but also the danger of being assassinated.It's just that, after all, Ah Xian has a clear sense of superiority and inferiority, and there are also people who accept their fate if they marry a chicken and follow a chicken and marry a dog as a dog, so they can only do as they please.It was also awkward at first, unable to let go or pick it up.After soaking in this sea of cherry blossoms for most of the day, a group of people also let go.Always thinking about it, how tired I am.
No, the two of them lay flat on the tatami without any image.It's just that the atmosphere was just a little bit better, and Ji Zong came to spoil the scenery.
Yu Xumo has been taught strictly since he was a child, so he really never enjoys cherry blossoms like this.Although he also envied Ah Xian and Ah Yuan lying there side by side, he was just leaning on the cushion with Ji Zong, but he was already very satisfied.
"Don't drink tea just now, let's have some snacks." Yu Xumo took the food box himself, but there was no way, this trip was secret, Yangping and Shu didn't come with him, and he had to pretend that he was in the house.Against whom?People outside and Mamiya Li.Each glutinous rice dumpling with red bean filling is neatly packed in a one-foot-square box.One by one is crystal clear, rosy in white, supported by pieces of emerald green bamboo leaves, just looking at it makes people feel comfortable.
Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew down the cherry blossoms, and before Yu Sumo could marvel at the beauty again, he watched the petals fall into the food box.
"Ah, it's a pity." Yu Xumo was a little annoyed seeing the petals covered with balls.One hand reached into the box, picked up a dumpling with cherry blossom petals on it, and put it in his mouth.Yu Xumo watched in surprise as Ji Zong gulped it down, and wiped his mouth, "Not only does it look more beautiful, but it also tastes better, do you try it?" She took another one and put it directly into Yu Xumo's mouth inside.Yu Suma subconsciously put it in his mouth and swallowed it whole.
"Cough~cough~" He choked on the dumpling, and quickly drank a cup of tea.Ji Zong waited for him to swallow, squeezed another one, and delivered it to his mouth.Yu Xumo was prepared this time. Although he was still a little embarrassed, he was not as embarrassed as the first time.Even before Ji Zong's finger was withdrawn, he gently swiped it with the tip of his tongue.Ji Zong took out his finger, saw that there was still some flour on it, and wrapped it in his mouth.
Tsk tsk said, "Well, it's so sweet."
Yu Xumo was petrified on the spot, why didn't he know that Ji Zong still had such a rascal side.Then, a more rascal came, "Mei, I think there are quite a lot of dumplings here, why don't you send some for Ah Yuan and the others."
Yu Xumo gave her an annoyed look, not because he thought he had a high status and refused to give in, but because.The young couple were annoyed just now, and they got stuck together at some point, and Ji Zong came out to enjoy the cherry blossoms, which was a bit unreasonable.It would be too...
Ji Zong didn't mean that at first, he hugged Suma too much, and lay down on the tatami.They are surrounded by curtains, like an open-air courtyard, where they can see the sky and cherry blossoms, but people outside cannot see them.Yu Xumo made up his mind, and lay down on the tatami with Ji Zong, watching the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky.
San Langzuo, who was hiding high on the branches among the trees, looked at A Yuan and A Xian, then at Ji Zong and Yu Xumo, and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.Holding a cherry leaf in his mouth, he thought, this cherry blossom is really not suitable for one person to see.No wonder there are crowds of cherry blossom viewers along the way. Watching the flowers fall alone is always a bit lonely.
On that side, Ji Yidian, Mamiyari's carriage came back in a hurry.Kinoshita opened the curtain, and said coldly to the porter, "Remove the door panel and let the carriage go in directly. Master is not feeling well." Mamiya Ri entered the palace half a day after Madoka's cherry blossom viewing team left to see the Imperial Palace. .As usual, it took half a day to return.
"This, it's not suitable. Can we please take a look? Or lift a chair from the mansion to invite His Highness to ride." In this carriage, it is not a problem to hide a person, just put it in like this, she really dare not do this host.
Kinoshita curled his lips and sneered coldly, "What are you, but a slave, you dare to advise the master? Do you want to search? That's fine! Let the lord come out!"
The gatekeeper immediately fell silent. If she was reasonable, she would be fine, but if she was unreasonable, ten lives would not be enough for her.She didn't dare to make a decision on her own, so she asked the adult in charge of security.The man knew that Ji Zong had gone out with Yu Xumo, so he rushed out to meet him.It's not a big deal to tear down the door. If it becomes a big trouble and people know that the adults are not at home, it will be a big deal.
She took a few people with her, and quickly removed the door. Originally, the door had hidden slots for the convenience of carriages entering and exiting, so it wasn't too troublesome to dismantle it.
"Your Highness is welcome to enter."
"Hmph! If that Yu Xumo asked for a carriage to enter the mansion, would he be so contemptuous? Could it be that we are enemies? We still want to stop him, hum!" Kinoshita slammed the door curtain down.A weak voice came from the carriage, "Okay, let's go. Why should Uncle Kinoshita get angry with them?"
The leader was taken aback for a moment, Mamiya Ri's voice didn't sound very good, she was completely hoarse.It's really a fight between gods and ghosts, what can they do, they can't afford to offend anyone, and they have to be implicated.
The carriage drove into the inner courtyard, Mamiya didn't like the service of the people of Ji Yidian, and everyone didn't bother to please him in front of him, a group of people entered the house, and no one saw anything wrong.
When the sliding door closed, A'Chun was stretched out on the ground.The one supported by Kinoshita is A-Siu, so there is no truth to it.
Because it was almost time for access control, the city gate was about to be closed and no one could enter or leave, and a carriage on the road was running in a hurry.Even if passers-by couldn't see the standard of the carriage, they could still see the two white horses without any variegation at all.It is not easy for one horse, let alone two horses appearing at the same time, and they both cleverly get out of the way.
The gatekeeper also rushed home, saw the clover on the carriage clearly, raised his hand easily, and let them go.The carriage drove out of Edo and headed towards Ueno.
After leaving the city for a long time, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and the windows were pushed open.The head sticking out of the car window, with a small white face and eyes full of curiosity, is Shinmiyari.When he arrived at Kan'ei Temple in Ueno, the moon was already hanging in the sky, a round round glowing faintly.On a moonlit night, thousands of trees are rustling, the dark fragrance of flowers, and the pink petals are tinged with blood, which makes people feel murderous.Mamiya subconsciously folded her arms and got out of the carriage, and got out of the carriage half supported and half hugged by a pair of arms.
"Seeing that you are so cold and shivering all over. Earlier, I went to invite you, and you came here. There is no need to suffer this." Gang Tiao opened up his coat and wrapped it half around his body.Mamiya pursed her lips, not knowing whether she was cold or regretful, and followed her into a very high-standard tea room without saying a word.
Earlier, Gangjo invited him to enjoy the cherry blossoms, but Mamiya always refused.The reason why he agreed today is because he knew that Ji Zong and Yu Xumo probably followed A Yuan out of the mansion to enjoy the cherry blossoms.Why does he know?Although both Yu Xumo and Jizong passed on the food, they did not eat together.Moreover, Ji Zong's meal was served by a small attendant.This is absolutely impossible, and it doesn't look like the two of them are arguing anymore, so can Yu Xuma leave such a big loophole for others to take advantage of?Thinking about the grand scene when Ah Yuan went out in the morning, he made a good guess.Therefore, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and no one should think too smart of himself or too stupid of others.
Zhen Gongli inquired a little bit, and when he was stopped outside Ji Zong's gate, he confirmed his guess.Although Ji Zong didn't want to see him, he wouldn't stop him for no reason. After being shut down twice, he knew that Ji Zong and Yu Xumo were probably no longer in Ji Yi Hall.He felt qi and blood surging, his head was buzzing, and he went to Da'ao with a rush of qi.Seeing Yutaisuo, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.Here, perhaps, can relieve homesickness, but it is not a good place to seek refuge.
Ji Zong is one of the three imperial families, and he is definitely not in harmony with the general.When Mamiya found out that Yoshinori had left him and took Yusuma to enjoy the cherry blossoms, he sadly discovered that he and Yoshimune were one. It won't last, but it won't be as decent as it is now.He gritted his teeth and socialized for a while, and with this realization, he walked out of Da'ao with a mouthful of blood in his mouth.But he met Gangtiao again by accident, and he agreed to Gangtiao's invitation by coincidence.
Now, he was leaning on the outline weakly, looking at the moon in the sky, he felt like a big mouth that wanted to swallow everything.While absorbing the warmth of Gang Tiao, he also warned himself that he must not reveal Ji Zong's whereabouts.If I think about it, I feel that I am really ridiculous and sad.Undoubtedly, they are also here in Ueno, enjoying a place of cherry blossoms under the same moonlight.This kind of thought makes Mamiya nervous and has the pleasure of revenge.
Ji Zong and the others are also enjoying the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms under the moonlight seem to be talking and dancing. They are full of blood, but they are also charming.Sure enough, under the same moonlight, enjoying the same cherry blossoms is different.
