Chapter 167
Chapter 167
It was not too late for Tianyingyuan to know the news. He was the day after Jiaji's death. He had just "consoled" Yueguangyuan who had gone wrong the night before, and got the news the next moment.Tianyingyuan just watched Yueguangyuan's jokes, and the joyful mood it gained has been taken in, not only that, but also had to look for it.
Tianyingyuan sat kneeling on the warm cotton pad, but felt a chill from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head.If he had just tasted how wonderful the taste of power is, then how tormenting it is now.He always thought that only Jianbu Fangfang wanted Jiaji to live, but when Jiaji died, he felt that he also became passive.Why, because the identity is embarrassing.He can't come forward to claim power directly, he must find an agent.He knew that Mabe Kanbo chose Owari because he was forced by himself because he occupied Yoshimune first.Compared with the wolfish and ambitious Owari, Yoshimune, who has no reliance and reliance, is naturally better grasped.That's why although there were rumors that Yoshimune had assassinated Arisugawa Palace two years ago, although he had a headache explaining it for a while, he still didn't give up Yoshimune completely.
But, now, Tenei-in feels a little tricky, Mabe Kanbo must have passed the news to Owari, Owari is the family of the third family, and the feudal land is the closest to Edo!Even though she has a suspicious personality and left a few days for her to prepare for herself, it is still too late for her to spread the news now.I just hope that for the sake of reliability, the department will choose human transmission.Thinking of this, the Tianying Institute didn't bother to think about it, and quickly recruited Teng Bo, and Tie Er explained this and that.
When Owari received the news, Zong Chun excitedly jumped up on the spot, urging his eldest sister and second friend to get on the road quickly.
The lord of the Owari feudal clan, Tokugawa Tsutomo, was still wondering why he was in such a hurry to go to the funeral after the general died. She had never thought about the position of the general, it seemed to be something very far away.Matsudaira Yoshiko helped his forehead, shouldn't he use step-friends as a cover, that Xiang Zongchun had already gone to Zhang Luo to arrange it.Zong Chun is a particular person when traveling, and pays special attention to his appearance. In a hurry, he still sorted out several boxes of clothes and accessories and loaded them on the carriage.Accompanied by her stepsister, she rode horseback to Edo day and night, and she could clearly distinguish the priorities.
Gangjo, the lord of the Mito domain, was stationed in Edo all the year round, but because she was in the Takamatsu domain in her early years, she had no intersection with the inner circle.After Tokugawa Mitsukuri recognized her indecision and irrelevance, he deliberately let go of her and did not bring her into the center of power.Now, it is not about whether the Mito family can flourish, but whether they can survive this setback and not be cleaned up.
Tokugawa Tsunajo didn't think so. When she heard the news, she was stunned at first, and then annoyed.Didn't her aunt, Tokugawa Mitsuki, ever think that she is also qualified to succeed the general?Why, without even asking, she was excluded.She was not reconciled, she wanted to give it a go, but even though she was in Edo, she was the last one to get the news.It can be seen from this that Tokugawa Tsunajo is not a person who is particularly good at planning. She came from a good background and was favored by her mother since she was a child, but her mother only thought about her as the successor of the Takamatsu clan, and did not think about the Yusan family. I didn't even consider the position of the general, and the focus of education is naturally different.Even so, the position of general was very attractive, so Tokugawa Tsunajo dressed up and decided to go to the imperial castle.
On the third day after Jiaji's death, Tianying Hospital felt unprecedented pressure.It seems that the next moment, Owari's stepsister will step in. Nagoya is only two days away from Edo.He clenched his fists tightly, no, he couldn't just give up like this, he had to delay her no matter what.
Suddenly, the Tianying Institute raised the corner of its mouth, thinking, I have been so busy and confused these days, I was just busy deploying people in important positions, and I forgot about the windshield wall.
"Tengbo."
"Yes" Teng Bo is now on standby all day, and he also knows that wealth and glory are on the front line.
"These days, I've been too busy and confused. Why did I forget about it? I have to tell her biological father the news of Jiaji's death anyway."
Teng Bo glanced up at Tianyingyuan, shrunk his neck, and said respectfully, "Yes, it's because the villain was negligent. Master Yueguangyuan lives in a different place. I'm afraid he doesn't know the news yet."
Tian Yingyuan nodded, and said with satisfaction, "Then hurry up!"
Teng Bo hurried to go, he didn't dare to entrust his subordinates to handle this matter, so he moved quickly in small steps and went to the Yueguangyuan.After he bit the bullet and told the news of Jiaji's death, Yueguangyuan did not go crazy as he expected.Teng Bo also disregarded the rules and looked up at Yueguangyuan, who was superior.God has some preference for the person in front of him. The bald-headed cassock has passed the best age, and it is not when he is high-spirited, and the harsh life like house arrest does not make this person's color less, but adds some melancholy elegance.Teng Bo swallowed his saliva, and was startled by Yueguangyuan's indifference, thinking, isn't this person stupid?As for his daughter, she became the general's daughter, and that's what he relied on for the rest of his life!The movement in his eyes was actually not as good as that of Master Tianyingyuan.
With a hula, Yueguangyuan stood up, and Teng Bo subconsciously moved back.
"My lord, please be sorry, don't, don't be impulsive." Teng Bo stammered a little.
Speaking of it, he really knows the person in front of him better than many people.Yueguangyuan, Xishi, was born in the market and grew up in the market.He has seen the vigor of the person in front of him when he first entered the family's backyard.Because there was no one behind him, and he was pampered, those who had status in the backyard often tripped him up, even his own master was overshadowed by him.But what about this one in front of me?He doesn't play by the rules at all!He doesn't cry, doesn't make trouble, and doesn't make small reports with his family.He threw all the conspiracies and schemes on the face of the person who made the move, which was simply too subversive, because they are all from everyone, and they have their own rules for doing things. Never have I seen such a straightforward one.After a few bumps, although he gained a vulgar reputation, he really didn't suffer much. In terms of it, he has more chances of winning.Not to mention the rarity of Jiaxuan's straightforwardness towards him!
Teng Bo felt a little cramp in his calf nervously, and his hands were cold and trembling.Just because Yueguangyuan loves Jianbu Quanfang, the emotional entanglement between the two of them has reduced many people's wariness towards Yueguangyuan.In fact, speaking of it, even Jianbu Quanfang forgot what a straightforward and forthright man Yu Xishi used to be.She also forgot that she once fell in love with it, and because she couldn't think about it, she was troubled and entangled.These are nothing compared to the alluring power.
Yueguangyuan glanced at Tengbo coldly, what kind of person is this dog? The person in front of him has a simple and honest appearance, but he is a cannibal.
"Since my son is gone, why don't I, a father, be allowed to visit?"
Teng Bo thought to himself, so this is the case. If you didn't say it earlier, it would be frightening.Because he hadn't seen such a glamorous posture of Yueguangyuan for a long time.He is crazy, he is arrogant, Teng Bo is not afraid, but he is afraid that the Yueguangyuan will be generous.This person used to be like this, chopping off people's hands and feet with a knife. The nobles saw this scene there, and several of them fainted from fright.Since then, no one dared to send people to him, even if they wanted to, no one would go.
"Here, let me report to Master Tianyingyuan." Teng Bo shivered vaguely.
Yueguangyuan twitched the corners of his lips, and actually smiled. He passed Teng Bo who was kneeling on the ground, walked to the knife holder, copied a Taidao, and pulled it out to have a look.Very good, the people below did not perfunctory him, the blade is well maintained, and now it is still glowing coldly when it is pulled out.He waved his hand casually, and when Teng Bo turned his head, he saw a dazzling light.He was so frightened that his face turned pale, but he still held on, saying:
"My lord, it's inconvenient for you to come and go in and out of Da'ao at will, please allow me."
With a groan, the thin blade came to rest on the side of Tengbo's neck with cold wind and murderous aura. The force was just right, and it would have penetrated into the flesh if it was any heavier.
"Why did I suddenly forget, and the fact that I can't walk freely, can you tell me the reason? Also, isn't your master from a public family background, the most well-behaved? What 'I', 'you' Ah, what kind of thing are you, and you deserve to be counted in front of me!"
Teng Bo was determined to die, and aimed at the blade with the end of his eyes, not even daring to breathe hard.It's true that Yueguangyuan just reprimanded himself for closing the yard and not going out because of the Ejima incident. The reason is really hard to explain.In fact, if it wasn't for Ejima's life, he wouldn't have ended up like this at all.Speaking of which, Ejima was sentenced to death in the end, but Yueguangyuan was not recruited.Teng Bo closed his eyes and thought to himself, master, it's not that I don't care, it's that you are too arrogant, you are so happy that this cat is in the yard, you didn't kill the grass and chase after the victory.
"Yes, yes, what you said is, the servant girl will go and report to the master."
He felt the pressure on his neck lighten, and with a bang, Yueguangyuan's knife had been returned to its sheath, but he didn't even look at it, as if he was used to using a knife.
"You don't need to make things difficult. Your master asked you to come to me just to borrow my knife. I go now, just following his wishes, and he has nothing against it. Besides, there is no need for him to slap himself. Mouth clears the way for me to clear my name, and I don’t need others to help me with what I want to do in Xishi!” Yue Guangyuan turned around and left the room, after the Ushima incident, almost all of his people were implicated, this book is organized by Nuomi Forum for you Tai O was made.However, the fact that he was willing to demote himself in exchange for Ujima's life is well known in Ori, and the people assigned to his yard have some respect for him from the bottom of their hearts.Furthermore, although Yueguangyuan lives in seclusion, it still protects its own people. At least, Teng Bo's hand cannot reach Yueguangyuan.
Yueguangyuan walked away aggressively with a knife in hand, and someone behind him risked his life, gritting his teeth to keep up.The courtyard, which was originally empty, was actually completely gone for a while.Either follow or avoid disaster.Seeing Teng Bo, he hurriedly chased him out.Yueguangyuan hadn't left the courtyard for a long time, and when everyone saw him being aggressive, their first reaction was to back away, and they really didn't hesitate to step forward to stop him.
Teng Bo hurriedly trotted to report the news to his master, Tianyingyuan straightened his clothes and said, "Go, I will also send Jiaji off." As he said, he also ordered someone to leave Da'ao, and went to Zhong'ao where Jiaji's body was. .It's just that he is different from Yueguangyuan. He brought a lot of people, and most of them were also armed.Swords are not allowed in the imperial city, but Da Ao is a boundary that doesn't care.
"Wait, you are not allowed to come in!" Jianbu Quanfang heard the report, and when he rushed out of the room, he happened to see Yueguangyuan walking here with a knife.Her pupils shrank, and she suddenly felt as if she had returned to that narrow alley. It was the first time they met, and Yu Xishi fought with others until there was no good flesh on his face, but those eyes were still as sharp as a knife. Knife, there is a hot blood surging in her heart, just like when the two met for the first time.
Yueguangyuan walked across the room and entered the room without looking at her from the beginning to the end.
When the people in the family room saw Yueguang Yuan, they were all stunned for a moment, then they saluted respectfully, and when they saw the signal from Jianbu Fangfang, they all walked out of the room on knees.Jianbu Quanfang didn't come close either, but just knelt beside the door, guarding the door for him instead of monitoring.
Jia Ji was lying in the quilt, thinking he was asleep, but the white cloth covering his face didn't move at all, which proved that she had indeed gone.Yueguangyuan put the knife between herself and the door, and knelt down beside Jiaji's bed.He reached out and lifted the white cloth covering Jia Ji's face, his hands trembling slightly.Jiaji was young, and he was ill for a long time, and he didn't think he was looking good.The palm-sized small face, with sunken cheeks, looks like the leaves of a ginkgo tree. Only the Tianling cover and the nose are supported, and a piece of skin hangs on it. This scene is actually quite scary.But from Yueguangyuan's point of view, there is only sadness.
The way Jiaji bowed respectfully, the way Jiaji did something proud and was waiting for his praise, the way Jiaji opened his wise eyes and listened quietly to his words, the tide came up like a tide.Yueguangyuan closed his eyes, as if in this way, he would not have to look and would not feel dizzy.However, he closed his eyes, but Jiaji's voice sounded in his ears.
"Father", "Father", "Don't worry, Father, I will be obedient" "Father, how is the child doing?" "Father, the child will work hard"
Yueguangyuan clenched her fists and pressed against her knees, suppressing the surging emotions, trembling because she was not allowed to express them.Jianbu Quanfang was watching not far away, and for some reason, she felt sore in her heart, like a needle prick, and a kind of fear struck her from the bottom of her heart, which made her more afraid than the power tsunami that Jiaji's death might bring to her. However, she couldn't tell why.
After a long time, she heard Yueguangyuan say in a hoarse voice, "Go, get me something to wash, and then send someone to find the Wu suit I made for Guo Song."
Jianbu Quanfang was pulled out of his daze by his words, Yueguangyuan wanted to bury his family in person.According to the rules, a special person should be encoffined, scrubbed, put on a regular dress, and then make up and comb the hair.It's unreasonable to do it in Yueguangyuan.But for some reason, Jianbu Quanfang seemed to be possessed, without even thinking about it, he gave orders.She seemed to feel that it was only right and proper, and felt that by doing so, Yueguangyuan would be more comfortable, and she would also be more comfortable.
Therefore, when Tianyingyuan arrived, it happened that Yueguangyuan was wiping Jiaji's body, and Jianbu Quanfang was watching from the door, the scene was indescribably quiet and strange.The arrival of Tianyingyuan did not distract Yueguangyuan. The latter concentrated on doing what he was doing, while the former could only kneel and sit on the other side, forgetting even the greetings.
Yueguangyuan's hands moved under the quilt, and no one could see Jiaji's body. Tianyingyuan was surprised by Yueguangyuan's proficiency and calmness.After wiping, Yueguangyuan spread the Wu clothes on the nearby tray on the quilt.Although his order was vague, it was very directional.Because, he only made this suit for Jiaji with his own hands.Handicraft is not what he is good at, but this one is also made by him gritted his teeth. If you look closely, it can be rough.However, this was the first time that Jiaji asked him for something, such a sensible child, he had never begged for anything.Just because she saw the clothes made by her father handed over by the little surname who served her, she pestered herself begging and begging coquettishly.
He stretched out his hand and took off the stepfather's white shirt from under the quilt. The seven-year-old child, who had been suffering from illness for many years, was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. It seemed that she was not as fleshy as when she was born.It is dangerous for the family to give birth to a middle-aged child, but they still insist on giving birth to the family successor.At that time, Yueguangyuan was grateful and satisfied.He still remembered the look of Jiaji's small handful being stuffed into his arms.At that time, she was soft and warm.And now, she was skinny and strangely stiff and cold.
Yueguangyuan wrapped her clothes for her, and then pulled her arms out of the sleeves. After he fiddled with the cumbersome clothes a few times, he actually put them on Jiaji's body neatly.He took off the quilt, and the appearance of Jiaji's clothes was completely revealed.The cinnamon-colored inner clothes and the water-blue outer shirt are just like Yueguangyuan's favorite color, bright and soft.He slowly combed Jiaji's withered and yellow hair, tied it in a bun, and squeezed the hair meticulously with osmanthus oil before inserting the hairpin.
Then, he evened the powder with his hands and patted it lightly on Jiaji's face. Because it was inconvenient, when he drew his eyebrows, the tip of his nose almost touched Jiaji's.When he finished everything, cleaned his hands, and knelt beside Jia Ji and looked at her, everyone came to their senses.
It has to be said that Yueguangyuan has a pair of skillful hands, no less than a professional embalmer.Now, Jiaji is like a slightly thinner child, with pink lips, eyes closed, falling into a beautiful dream, looking forward to tomorrow.Her lifelike appearance did not make everyone feel better, but felt that the hairs all over her body stood on end.I also forgot to mention that this outfit is too girly and not in line with the general's noble status. Now, who would think of this.
Yueguangyuan closed his eyes, twisted the Buddhist beads beside Jiaji, and muttered something, not sure if he was talking to Jiaji or chanting Buddha.At this time, the encoffining was considered complete, and someone attached to Jianbu Quanfang and whispered a few words in his ear.
Jianbu Jianfang suddenly frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Who arrived first?"
The man was taken aback, as if he didn't expect her to ask this question, but respectfully said, "Kiiden arrived first, followed by Owariden, and finally Mitoden."
Jianbu Quanfang pursed his lips and nodded silently. The man knew the situation and quickly retreated.After a while, someone sang and said
"Mitoden Tokugawa Tsunajo, Owariden Tokugawa Ketomo, Kiiden Tokugawa Yoshimune, paid a visit to the general's remains."
The three of them entered one by one, saluted, and then lined up, kneeling beside Jiaji's bed.
Gangjo looked at the lifelike Jiaji, and his heart trembled; Jiyou looked at Jiaji, and thought of Gorota sadly; Ji Zong looked at Jiaji, but remembered his outfit when he saw Yueguangyuan for the first time It is exactly the same as what Jiaji is wearing now.Subconsciously, Ji Zong glanced at Yueguangyuan who was kneeling behind the bed, and coincidentally, the latter stopped chanting sutras at some point, and met Ji Zong's eyes.
Yueguangyuan's undisguised gaze swept over the three of them one by one. Gang Tiao was wearing a black dress, but it was embroidered with tortoise and crane prolonging the year, followed by a well-dressed attendant; Jiyou was wearing a dark green dress, which was extremely luxurious. The indescribable awkwardness on her body is like stealing someone else's clothes. Behind her is Zong Chun, who is dressed in low-key but more extravagant clothes. It seems that the rumors that Zong Chun is more favored than his step-friends are true; The navy blue color of the riding attire seemed too ordinary, and there was a squire in the same plain clothes kneeling behind her.
After scanning the eyes of the three of them, Yueguangyuan glanced at Jianbu Quanfang and Tianyingyuan, which he had neglected for a long time, and then showed a cold smile.
The author has something to say: I think of the mortician, the first scene is so shocking!This work can be so elegant, the islanders really pay attention to details.
Originally wanted to write more, Wen Siquan burst out (shy), but I was afraid that the squirt would not be evenly mixed and overcooked, and I would hold back in my stomach.
