Chapter 125 Ji Zong's Awakening
Ji Zong took four of his entourage to Yoshihara, because San Langzuo often appeared in Yoshihara as Ji Wen, and it was not easy to reveal his identity casually, so he was not allowed to follow.Ji Zong came to Yoshiwara three times, each time with a different mood.She handed the reins to her entourage and stepped into the Yoshiwara Veranda.
After passing the Yang House that San Langzuo had been to last time, Ji Zong remembered San Lang Zuo's money, and Nara Shigeru who brought them good sales because of his fighting spirit.The farce of a group of people bending over to pick up money seems to be still vivid in my memory.Ji Zong showed a knowing smile, his mood became much more relaxed, and his steps slowed down.She no longer hurried to Takashimaya, like a moth to a flame.Slowly, she found her own rhythm.
Takashimaya, Yoshimune came, and as soon as he mentioned the name of the box on the letter, the person who greeted the guests at the door respectfully led her in.It's the "Peony Pavilion" again, where Jitong interviewed last time.It's only been a few days, and things are already separated by Yin and Yang.When approaching the door, Ji Zong subconsciously stopped and looked at the veranda. It was there that she met San Langzuo for the first time.She took a breath, lowered her eyes slightly, and what came into her mind was the scene of San Langzuo teaching her Kung Fu with a tree branch.I don't know why, but I always think of him.Ji Zong shook his head, unknowingly, San Langzuo seemed to have risen to the position of both a teacher and a friend in her heart.
Thinking about what San Langzuo said before coming, some things should be sorted out quickly.
The person who led the way opened the golden sliding door full of peonies for Ji Zong, and the lethargy in the room was revealed.Zhu also brought four guards, unlike Ji Zong who asked people to rest in Yangwu, his guards lined up and sat there.In the hall, a handsome man is dancing, accompanied by several people.In the inner room, Zhu Pi stretched his legs and leaned on the pillow, watching with relish.Ji Zong could no longer express his feelings about the fact that Zhushen came to Yoshihara with four female guards as a man.
All she thought about was whether Zhu had the consciousness of being a man.He was dressed in a black and white ink-dyed uniform, with a golden yellow feather weave painted with galloping horses hanging on it, and a red shirt with a loose open neckline, revealing his chest.Tapping the time casually with his bare feet, what Ji Zong saw was just such a scene, drunk and dreaming.Moreover, among the four guards that Zhu brought, none of them were watching the dancing man, their eyes were all glued to Zhu's body.
"Everyone get out!" Ji Zong yelled, feeling unreasonably irritable.
Zhu smiled and waved lightly. His followers and others quickly withdrew and closed the door for them thoughtfully.
"Oh, we two really have a good understanding." Zhu Gekong nodded Ji Zong, Ji Zong was wearing a red shirt, a white hunting suit, and a golden belt on the cuffs. At first glance, the two of them looked like they were wearing couple outfits.Ji Zong pursed his lower lip, walked into the inner room, and sat down facing the bamboo.
Zhu poured out a cup of wine, raised his head and drank it, but because of too much movement, some flowed out and slid down his chin to his slender neck.Ji Zong looked a little dazed, and the anger just now had subsided by seven or eight, and he wiped his mouth in an unrefined manner.He poured another glass of wine and pushed it in front of Ji Zong.
Ji Zong stared at him for a long time, and the latter also smiled and let her stare at him. After a while, Ji Zong sighed slightly, and drank the wine from the bamboo cup as a respect.
"Ah~" Zhu saw that she was drinking happily and seemed in a good mood, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, and handed it to her lips, motioning for her to open her mouth.
Ji Zong opened his mouth subconsciously and woke up after eating a mouthful of sweets.She came to make things clear with Zhu, but she was led by him from the moment she came in, first she got angry and then drank, and now, she actually ate the sweet food.She doesn't like to eat things that are too sweet, and she doesn't spit it out or swallow it now.
When Zhu saw it, he probably guessed that she didn't like sweets anymore.It's not like watching him so much that he forgets to chew and swallow, right?
In the end, Ji Zong swallowed hard, and Zhu laughed so hard, but he still poured a glass of wine for her after laughing.Ji Zong took a sip of the wine, suppressed the sweetness, and said, "I don't know why you came to me, but I have something to tell you."
Zhu's hand stretched across the desk, and pressed directly on Ji Zong's lips. The two of them were only an arm's length away from the desk. "Shh, seeing your serious expression, it must be a disappointment if you say it, why don't I say it first?" He raised his peach eyes slightly, and looked at Ji Zong with a half-smile.Ji Zong's lips felt that Zhu's fingers were cold, but he felt like a fire was burning in his heart.
"I really like the gift you gave me that day, and I think I should thank you no matter what." Zhu didn't take back his hand, and across the table, he changed pressure into caress, and gently rubbed Ji Zong's lips with his thumb.Ji Zong's cardamom years, his lips are like water, and they are still beautiful cherry blossom pink. Zhu's eyes dimmed a little bit, surprised by the soft touch.What was it like when you kissed last time?He searched hard in his mind.
With a "snap", Ji Zong waved Zhu's hand away, and said seriously, "Can you talk well?"
Zhu was not angry, he withdrew his hand, put the thumb that had just rubbed against her on his lips, and wiped it vaguely.Ji Zong's head buzzed, he couldn't tell if he was angry or ashamed.
"Where did I say it?" Seeing Ji Zong's annoyed look, Zhu laughed again, propped his cheeks on his hand, and tilted his head thinking.His eyes were foggy, as if he was a little drunk. "Oh, gift, I like it very much." He pointed his fingers at the desk, turned his head to Ji Zong a little, and asked, "Then, what gift do you want from me in return? Think about it carefully, anything will do."
When he said this, his tone was deliberately lowered a bit, revealing temptation from his bones.He made an appointment in Yoshiwara, and he acted like this, so the so-called "return gift" is self-evident.
Ji Zong pursed her lips, a little annoyed, but also a little distressed. She secretly scolded herself for being worthless, but said seriously, "Have you ever confiscated gifts that don't need to be returned? No one gave you anything , is it not asking for anything in return, just to satisfy you and make you happy?"
A flash of hostility flashed in Zhu's eyes, too fast for people to catch it.With a slap, he pushed the desk between the two to the side, and he was next to Ji Zong with his knees close to his knees.His unique scent of incense and his figure enveloped Ji Zong. He arched his index finger, scraped Ji Zong's face gently with his knuckles, and said in Ji Zong's ear, "Life is short, why not enjoy yourself in time, you are so stiff and rigid. Have you ever understood the taste and beauty of a man?"
Feeling Ji Zong's unnatural stiffness, Zhu was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "You have both the main room and the side room, and your looks are not bad, so you haven't tasted it yet, right?" feel ridiculous.
Ji Zong grabbed Zhu's wrist, preventing him from getting any closer.Ji Zong's natural arm strength was different from that of ordinary people, and he frowned in pain even when the bamboo was grabbed by her, but then he smiled unscrupulously.Not afraid of death at all, he brushed Ji Zong's ear with the other hand, and then his neck, and even flicked Ji Zong's earlobe lightly with his little finger.
"Then I'll be gentle, and I promise to give you an unforgettable first night." There was still a hint of provocation in his voice, but the words he carefully distinguished were a little hoarse than before.
"I didn't do that to make you 'repay' me like this. I just did it when I wanted to. I was very happy when I did that. You don't need to be grateful to me." finished.Now, she finally finished speaking in one breath.
Bamboo's hand paused for a moment, then continued downward. "Really, you like me so much? Do you feel satisfied if you like me so much? I'm so happy to hear you say that." While talking, he leaned close to Ji Zong, rubbing his nose lightly against Ji Zong's face.
Ji Zong felt astringent in his heart, and his nose was a little sour.Her sincerity was treated so cruelly by Zhu, no matter how strong and rational she is, she still feels uncomfortable now.If Zhu looked into her eyes and said these words sincerely, then her heart would surely bloom with happiness.But now, Zhu flirtatiously teased her body, belittled himself, and also belittled her feelings, her heart felt pain, as if being slowly scratched by a sharp object.
"Why do you have to respond to other people's sincerity like this. Even if you don't like it and think I'm an eyesore, just say it straight, why bother to belittle yourself. I'm not such a brazen person, but I just like you, so I will be so despised Is it?" Ji Zong pursed his lips tightly, and tried his best to open his eyes wide to prevent the dangling drops of water from falling from his eye sockets.The strength of pinching Zhu's wrist increased a little unconsciously.
Zhu felt the pain, and withdrew his hand with a "hiss", and moved away from Ji Zong for a few minutes, and the two regained a little distance.
"I don't like to owe others, I like to do it. Why, aren't you happy when I like you? Now, no more? Women are really fickle." Zhu coldly sneered, while gently supporting his wrist with his hand Shaking back and forth. "Don't you like me? Shouldn't you be ecstatic when I promise you with my body? Why, your liking is not to the extent of this desire for skin-to-skin contact? It's just verbal? Your liking is that kind A trick like coaxing a child?"
For the first time, Ji Zong knew that words can hurt people.Zhu's words seemed to have substance, every word and sentence turned into sharp arrows, shooting towards her heart, every arrow pierced her right through.She is also a human being, she can be hurt, and she can protect herself. At this time, Ji Zong stood up abruptly in order to maintain his little dignity.
"I think, since you disdain my liking so much, then you don't need to say anything. I don't need your thank you, we~~"
"What was it that you wanted to tell me?" Zhu interrupted Ji Zong's hasty words, staring at her with piercing eyes, and rarely asked seriously.
Ji Zong was interrupted by him, opened his mouth slightly, and swallowed back the evil words he was about to utter.She couldn't even bear to say serious things to him.She laughed at herself, saw her obsession, looked up at Zhu, gave each other one last chance, and said clearly, "My love is to be with you for the rest of my life. Would you like to come back to Jiyi with me? Chuanjizong will definitely live up to you in this life!"
Zhu looked at Ji Zong, his eyes were so dark that he couldn't see to the bottom, which made people feel like spying into the abyss, fearful and tempted to fall.Zhu looked at Ji Zong for a long time, and suddenly, he laughed.Leaning back and forth, shaking the earth, laughing so much that the roof and floor of the Japanese room trembled.
"Hahaha~" Zhu laughed so hard that he fell to the ground, clutching his stomach, and pounding the ground repeatedly, "Ha! Haha~ I'm dying from laughing, I can't do it anymore." He seemed to stop, but he couldn't control himself, laughing so hard He thumped the ground vigorously, laughing until tears flowed.Ji Zong looked at Zhu and trembled with laughter, and even started to twitch. Her hands were clenched into fists by her side, and her heart gradually became cold and hard.Something shattered and fell to the ground, the slight sound was completely covered by Zhu's laughter.
It turned out that pain can really make people grow. The scene Ji Zong sees now is much clearer than before.It seems that there is a membrane, broken by the bamboo, bringing pain, but also bringing a clear world and perspective.People always have a protective film to protect themselves from harm, but it also makes people see things in a blur.Love is a sharp knife, which makes people strong and cowardly. Ji Zong wanted to be brave, but he mustered up the courage, but her heart was exchanged for the merciless ridicule of the other party.In fact, Neng Bojun's smile is not bad, shouldn't she think so?Ji Zong let out a self-deprecating sneer, and broke with his former self in his heart.
She didn't want to deny herself, she loved, so real, she didn't want to make those beautiful things ridiculous.It's just that everything is over.She looked at Zhu quietly, and when he stopped laughing, there was neither sadness nor joy in her eyes.Zhu seemed to feel something, and was agitated by her eyes, but smiled.
Zhu touched the tears that came out of laughter, and taunted, "This is your sincerity? Haha, it's so funny, it's the funniest joke I've ever heard. I'll let the dignified prince's main room go, and follow you back to Jiyi's Do you want to be a concubine? This is your sincerity, and you are ashamed to say it! I thought I was despicable enough, but compared with you, I am really inferior. Please, it is you who like me, not me how are you!"
"Come here!" Zhu stopped laughing, stood up abruptly, a little taller than Ji Zong, and said to the outside with a sullen face, "Call me the Taifu of Takashimaya!"
Ji Zong looked at Zhu calmly, and was a little surprised that he could be so calm, as if everything before was in a dream, and now he woke up from the dream.
"I know that I am notorious, and I also know how low I am in the eyes of outsiders, but I still can't allow you to pity me and make me cheap! Who am I? I am Dechuan Zhu!" Zhu Nu opened his eyes and sternly road
"I also have the same surname as yours, Tokugawa. I have a name and a surname. Moreover, I am the general's adopted son! An upright prince! What are you, you dare to humiliate me like this! Go back to Kii with you? Be a concubine?! Think about it Just give some love and time, and play with a lowly man?! I look like a fool like that?"
Ji Zong looked at the furious Zhu, listened carefully to his words, and nodded in agreement. The previous self was indeed too self-righteous, "No, I am the one who is stupid. You have never been stupid, but you just understand too clearly. It's just hard work." Ji Zong agreed with Zhu's words in an easy-going manner, and sincerely reflected on his own naivety and rudeness.
"I was rude just now, please forgive me." She said as sincerely as the confession just now.Of course, she also knew that in this world, an apology was not enough.However, thinking about it, she also saved Zhu once, no matter whether it delayed his plan or not, in fairness, it was even.
Zhu's anger stagnated, as if he was being teased, and his anger became even more violent.Just at this time, the sliding door rang, and Zhu strode over Yoshimune, and dragged Takashimaya's husband from behind her.
"You should ask him, are you willing to take him back to Ji Yi, and see if he is willing! This is a great gift, a gift to him! Maybe he will be grateful to Dade and cry!" Taifu Zhuba was rude dragged it to Ji Zong, and threw it on the ground!He threw back all the humiliation he had suffered.
Ji Zong was stunned for a moment when he saw the person lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment at his feet.Zhu let out all his anger, took a few breaths, and slowly regained his sanity.He looked at the Taifu who fell to the ground, and was also shocked.This person is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is astonishingly beautiful. If this continues for a few more years, he will surely end up in disaster for the country and the people.Skin made of ice, facial features as dazzling as jewels, so cool and clean that one would want to crush him cruelly and soil him.He didn't look embarrassed when he fell on the ground, but was very pitiful and even more beautiful.
Zhu just lost his temper, and now he can't hold back his temper. Moreover, he has never been able to restrain his temper, except when facing those few people who can influence his fate. "What are you? How dare you pretend to be a prince? Do you think I'm fooling you? At your age, you're at most a 'Xuanxiu Xinzao'. Get out! Let your princes come out, or I'll demolish this place!" Zhu raised his foot and was about to kick The people on the ground were stopped by Ji Zong.
"Wait!" Ji Zong yelled anxiously, and ignored Zhu's surprise and retracted his foot. With his contemptuous eyes, he bent over to help the man up, as if all women were like this.
"Axiu." Ji Zong asked uncertainly, at this moment she remembered that San Langzuo had brought Axiu into Takashima House, and the person in front of her was Axiu.
"Thank you, my lord." Axiu neither admitted nor denied it, she was shorter than Ji Zong, with a soft and charming figure.He unhurriedly straightened his clothes, and bowed to the bamboo to salute, "Forgive me, sir, my elder brother has a guest and can't get away, let me come and serve you for a while, and I don't mean to deceive or despise you. If it is not to your liking, I will go down now, and I will go to urge brother again for you."
Zhu was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little gloomy, Ji Zong and this Furisode Shinzo were obviously old acquaintances.
"It's up to you, you haven't responded to what I said just now. This lord is the lord of Ji Yi, she wants to take you back to Ji Yi, are you willing?" Zhu evilly lifted Axiu's chin, looked carefully, There is really no dead angle, every angle is very beautiful, and it is more delicate when viewed up close.
"My lord, you are joking, we are from a humble background, how can we spoil this lord's lintel." Axiu said coldly, but it was not annoying, and there was a kind of fragility that could be picked by others.
Zhu stroked his chin frivolously, and said with a smile, "You're an interesting person. Tell me, what's your name? Next time I come, I'll praise you." Zhu said that, but he was thinking of getting angry after resting.Moreover, Ji Zong belonged to the Yusan family, so he could not do anything to her, nor could he offend others severely. It was enough for him to be in a hurry when he offended a Shimazu Jifeng.However, when he heard Ji Zong call him "Axiu", he subconsciously wanted to know if he was called by that name.
"My name is 'Qinglu' and I'm Takashima's husband 'Takahashi''s brother-in-law, please take pity on me, my lord."
"If it's okay, I'm leaving. I've finished what I want to say. I also know what you mean. If you offend me, please see it because I blocked a knife for you that day. That's it. Let's expose it." Ji Zong didn't intend to stay here for a long time, and simply concluded.
Zhu's eyes flickered, she didn't know what she was thinking, and in the end, as if she had accepted Ji Zong's affection and accepted her explanation, she raised her head proudly and said, "Well, since your lord said so, if you insist on holding on, it's me I don't know what is good or bad. From now on, we will not owe each other, and the road returns to the road and the bridge returns to the bridge."
Ji Zong pursed his lips and nodded, "Farewell! Thank you for your hospitality."
"Wait!" Zhu Jian Yoshimune turned around swiftly, without any hesitation, subconsciously shouted to stop her.Ji Zong looked back suspiciously, Zhu hinted and pushed Qinglu angrily, "Go and see off your lord for me."
"Yes!" Qinglu obediently agreed, Ji Zong thought about it, but did not refuse, and Ren Qinglu led her out.
Zhu stood alone in the empty room, not knowing what he was thinking.
"My lord, please follow me." Qinglu stopped to greet Ji Zong while walking, very attentive.
Ji Zong stopped in a hidden place.Qinglu also had to stop, waiting for orders. "Whatever your lord needs, just ask."
"Axiu, I know it's you."
Qinglu was taken aback, pursed her lower lip, and lowered her eyes.Ji Zong sighed, and asked, "I said at the beginning that I would help you if necessary. Why didn't I find you? Can't even send a message?"
"Your people have found me, but I refused." Axiu admitted his identity, he lowered his head, not looking at Ji Zong, and murmured.
Ji Zong will not ask why, she is also very tired today. "Axiu, I'll ask you one last time. I'm not angry with the person just now. I'm just asking you. I can redeem your body for you and arrange a stable life. Would you like it?" , she wanted to ask again.She knew that she was special to Ah Xiu, no matter what the reason was.Now, she also wants to understand that there are many things, only willingness, ability, and why.
"Thank you for remembering, sir. I don't need it." Axiu clenched his fists and said every word.
Ji Zong sighed, "Axiu, this is the last time I'm asking you. If you miss this time, in the future, even if you ask for something, I may not necessarily agree." She couldn't give Axiu an indefinite empty check, Anyone can draw.She was afraid that if Ah Xiu didn't ask for anything now, he would ask for more in the future.Ji Zong didn't want to talk like this, but she felt that it was better to say something clearly.
Axiu clenched his fists, trembling slightly, his lips were about to bleed, and he also knew that this was the end of Ji Zong's concession, and he was shaken for a moment.However, after trembling for a long time, he finally made up his mind and said to Ji Zong, "I don't regret it. In the future, please pretend that you don't know me. You don't owe me anything, but when I was in prison, you shot me many times. Help, it was me who didn't grab your hand. My life is worthless, and it's not worthy of my lord's concern, my lord, please die as a sleeve from now on."
Ji Zong looked at Axiu for a long time, nodded and said, "It should be so." She lifted her legs and left, Axiu reacted, and wanted to catch up with her to see her off, but Ji Zong stopped him, "You have a guest, so go get busy, go out I remember the way, so I won’t bother you.”
Axiu stood there in a daze, watching Ji Zong's figure go away.He put his hands on his knees and bowed ninety degrees, but he didn't see the softness and beauty just now.This was the last time he saluted as a sleeve, just like sending Jizong off to work in the longhouse in the early years.A line of clear tears fell to the ground patter clatter.
In his heart, Ji Zong has always been like the clouds in the sky, and the difference between the two is like clouds and mud. Now, the gap between the two is even worse.
The author has something to say: la la la, the small universe has exploded again.I could have published two chapters, but it's not kind to stop there, and if I get scolded once, it's enough.
This is also a double change, please praise (sounding)
