Chapter 175 175
Yansheng has always been sympathetic to Yuanyi.
——What a poor little brother, who was born with his own compatriots, but is born ominous.Not only does he have a terrible birthmark on his face, but he is also unable to speak and is born dumb.Compared with himself who was born with everything, fate is so unfair to Yuanyi.
Therefore, he felt extra compassion for Yuan Yi.Even though his father issued repeated orders not to allow him to contact Yuanyi, the ominous younger brother, in private, Yansheng would still go to him secretly to play, besides flying kites and playing double six, he would also give him the flute he made himself.
The young Iwakatsu had no playmates at home.Whether it's the father's retainers or the teacher who teaches swordsmanship, they are all grown men who are big and rough.The only partner is Yuan Yi.Therefore, when he learned that he would marry Ji Jun of An Yiguo as his wife, the first person he wanted to tell was Yuan Yi.
Yuanyi is unable to speak and is born dumb; sometimes, Yansheng even suspects that Yuanyi's ears are completely deaf, so he turns a blind eye to many sounds from the outside world, only immersing himself in his own world, staring at the hair of the grass and trees by the water Stay all day.However, Yuanyi occasionally responds to his call with his eyes, which shows that he is not actually deaf and can still hear a little sound.
"Yuanyi, that Ji Jun is a very cute girl." Yansheng gestured with his hands, and said excitedly to Yuanyi, "She is about the same height as me, with bright eyes and fair skin. Mother Both I and my nanny said that she will definitely be an outstanding beauty in the future."
Yuan Yi seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand, he just looked at his brother with bright eyes.
"Yuanyi, do you know what a 'wife' is?" Yan Sheng raised his finger and explained to his uneducated younger brother, "That is the status of a mother in addition to a father, who will be with her for a lifetime. If there is If I have the chance, I will definitely bring her to you. But..."
Yan Sheng's voice became frustrated: "She doesn't like me now, and she won't let me get close. My mother said that it was because she came to Ruozhou from Anyi. She was far away from her hometown at a young age, and she hasn't adapted yet. .I don't know how to talk to her!"
Yuanyi blinked, revealing a childlike innocent smile.Seeing his smile, Yan Sheng shook his head pretending to be an adult: "Forget it! You don't understand these things either. I don't know how to please a girl, let alone Yuan Yi?"
After Yansheng finished speaking, Yuanyi didn't respond to him with a wink or a smile, but got out of the doorway.
"Yuanyi, where are you going?" Yansheng asked with some doubts, and quickly followed through the narrow door.He lay on the ground, and saw his younger brother Yuanyi squatting in front of the fence, reaching out to pick a pomegranate.
"Pomegranate... Rhododendron?"
At the end of spring and summer in Ruozhou, red rhododendrons bloom all over the mountain. The petals are stretched, with a little white in the red, and clusters of thin and long flower cores are like tied ribbons.
Yuanyi handed the plucked cuckoo to Yansheng with an innocent smile.
"You mean... tell me to give this to Ji Jun?" Yan Sheng suddenly realized, "Mother said that boys and girls are different. I sent someone to ask her if she likes it." Like swordsmanship and horseback riding, that's a big mistake! I should give her flowers!"
After finishing speaking, Iwakatsu followed Yuanichi's
Taking Du Juan in his hand, he waved to his younger brother: "Yuanyi, I'm leaving first! Let's play next time!"
Yuan nodded and waved to him, which meant saying goodbye.
Yan Sheng held the Rhododendron in his hands and ran towards the West.Through the hanging bamboo curtain, he heard the female poetry teacher teaching Ji Jun: "In spring, plum blossoms are used to make a bun, and in summer, azaleas sing. Climb the red maple in autumn, and finally see the heavy snow in winter..."
"Ji Jun!"
Yansheng lifted the hanging bamboo curtain and interrupted the lecture.
"Ah, young master." The teachers and maids bowed their heads one after another. You, who was sitting a few tents behind, held a brush and looked over with suspicious eyes, as if asking him the reason for his sudden intrusion.
Yansheng held his breath and took a sneaky look at Yuu.The girl who was about his age had white teeth and bright lips, and her eyes were as quiet as a pool of autumn water.She doesn't like to talk very much, Yansheng knows that.
"This is for you." The six or seven-year-old young master sat down awkwardly, holding out a red azalea.Because he pinched the rhizome too tightly, the calyx lost some water. Yansheng, who was full of expectations, became a little flustered when he saw the withered calyx. He dusted the calyx with his sleeve to no avail, and said uneasily, " It's still alive. It's fine."
The young You blinked, put down the pen, and looked at the cuckoo in his hand.The lovely red color reminds her of the camellia in her hometown of Aki.
She took the bunch of rhododendrons and asked, "Young Master, are there any toon flowers in Ruozhou in winter?"
"Huh?" Yansheng raised his head and thought hard, "It seems that there is no... But it's okay, I will let my father and mother plant more. If I plant this year, it will bloom next winter. "
Yu touched the soft petals and smiled.To Yan Sheng, this smile was nothing more than a surprise, and he also laughed happily: "You like this flower!"
The maid on the side also covered her face with her sleeves, and secretly laughed: "Two childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts. The young master and Ji Jun are really enviable..."
It was the first time Yansheng was teased by women like this, and his face turned red.He stammered, wanting to praise his future wife, but there was no suitable description in his mind.After racking his brains and thinking for a long time, Yan Sheng said loudly: "Ji Jun, your hair is so black! It is even blacker than my mother's! Such hair is rare. The last time I saw such thick hair , I saw it on the horseman's mother-in-law!"
What I saw on the horseman's mother-in-law——
The stablekeeper's mother-in-law—
mother-in-law
The youthful voice of the young master fell to the ground, and there was a deathly silence in the west place.The maids showed faces of bemoaning their indisputability, with a resigned expression.
"You actually said that Ji Jun and the horseman's mother-in-law are the same existence..."
"Young master, you are still a child after all."
"The personality is exactly the same as that of Guoshou, and he is simply a person..."
Yansheng was a little puzzled, he was just praising Ji Jun, why did the maids react so strangely?He couldn't help looking at You, but this Ji Jun, who has always been quiet and reticent, opened his mouth and gave him an order to chase away guests: "Young master, I accept the flowers, but I am studying, please wait a little longer, young master." Come again."
Yan Sheng opened his mouth, almost wanting to throw himself into His Highness Diao's pool.
He seemed—again, disliked by Ji Jun.
Yan Sheng left angrily.
/ / /
"What to do, Yuanyi!"
After a few days, Yan Sheng once again confided his troubles to his younger brother.He lay on his stomach in Yuanyi's narrow room, hammering the tatami like an ordinary child, without any appearance of being precocious and intelligent in front of others.
"I obviously tried my best to praise Ji Jun, but everyone laughed at me, saying that I am still a child." Yan Sheng sat up and grabbed his long hair tied into a ponytail, "I am obviously not young. It's gone! Besides, Ji Jun didn't see me any more... She obviously likes Du Juan very much."
Yuanyi sat on a corner of the tatami, reaching out to caress a piccolo in his sleeve.This is his most cherished toy, made for him by his elder brother Yan Sheng himself.Because giving something as a reward from his father, his father would find out that the two were playing secretly; so Yansheng cut bamboo himself and made this simple flute.This flute can't even play the pitch accurately, it can only make ghostly howls, but Yuanyi still likes it very much.
Seeing his elder brother hammering the tatami in distress, Yuanyi pushed open the door again and walked outside.
"Yuanyi, where are you going?...You have another idea, don't you?" Yan Sheng's eyes lit up, and he chased him out.
Yuan Yi stood by the pond, knelt down and stirred the water with his hands; the ripples of the pond were broken by his tender hands, and sparkled.Yan Sheng asked with some doubts: "What are you doing?"
Yuan Yi smiled and picked up a branch and drew it on the sand by the pond.Yansheng quickly recognized that this was the shape of An Yi Country, with vertical and horizontal water veins on it, and it was also connected to the huge Seto Inland Sea.He had learned in class that the Seno River in Anyi Country was connected to the inland sea, and the water was stable, so it was most convenient to attack with a fast boat.However, the Yamana clan has lived in Anyi Country for generations, and they are proficient in sailors, so they have an advantage in water.It would be great if other methods could be used to absorb the Yamana clan.
"Sea...water veins." Yan Sheng clapped his hands suddenly, and realized, "Ji Jun's hometown is by the sea! She must like water very much! I understand!"
After receiving Yuan Yixin's suggestion, Yansheng immediately went to Xizhisuo to find You: "Ji Jun, would you like to go play in the water with me? There are many lotus flowers in the pool where His Highness is fishing; there is another one piled up with white sand. On the island in the middle of the lake, my father built a pavilion for enjoying the cool air, and you can go there by boat.”
You really turned around and asked: "Then can you go down to the Diaodian Temple and take a boat?"
"Yes." Yan Sheng held the girl's hand excitedly, "Let's go play in the water together!"
You didn't shake off his hand, which made Yan Sheng secretly happy in his heart.
The water surface for fishing His Highness was created in the time of Yan Sheng’s grandfather, and the island in the middle of the lake was also built in the same era.To this day, Lord Guoshou and Mrs. Beizhidian still go to the top to enjoy the shade together.Yansheng led You to run across the corridor on the water, and stopped at the submerged stone steps of the Diaodian Temple.
"Look, that's the island in the middle of the lake." Yansheng pointed to the center of the lake.
You squinted your eyes and looked over. On the broad water surface, there is a beautiful and graceful island, which is full of green plants, and the island is surrounded by lotus leaves reaching the sky.Because it is only summer, the lotus has not yet bloomed, and now it is just a piece of verdant green color.
"I heard that Ruozhou is also close to the sea. There are magnificent waves on the seaside of Dongxunfang, and there is also a Baiquan Temple where Buddhism is effective. This
is that true? "You asked Yansheng.
"It's true!" Yan Sheng said, squatting down by the water.On the surface of the lake, the shadows of him and Ji Jun were reflected. Two little ghosts of about the same age were looking at the clear water.
Ji Jun combed the hair accessories of a virgin, and her long hair was tied up with a brown sandalwood belt, leaving only two small strands around her ears; her eyes were very beautiful, like the color of scallion and heron, and her eyelashes were long and thin. , as if the crow feathers were glued onto it one by one.
"I don't know the difference between the sea in Ruozhou and the sea in Liujo." You said, "Before, my nanny often took me to the beach to pick up shells when the tide was low. Are there shells in Ruozhou?"
"How come there are no shells on the beach?...Look! There are fish." Yansheng raised his trousers and pointed to the depths of the water, where two koi were swimming leisurely.
He wanted to see more clearly, so he took a step forward.But there was a layer of soft moss growing in the cracks of the stone steps, which became more and more slippery after being soaked in water, and Yansheng actually snorted and slipped his foot into the water.
"Wow!"
When Yansheng fell into the water, there was a lot of water splashing.The koi under the lotus leaves were frightened and ran away quickly.The maids around screamed: "My young master! My young master fell into the water! Too bad, my young master can't swim..."
Yansheng struggled to get his head out of the water, slapping his head in a panic, his long black hair was soaked and scattered, and there was a little panic on his young face, but he was still trying to keep calm: "I, I can walk up—”
But how can the steps covered with moss be so easy to settle on?He tried to climb up the steps, but with a puff, he fell back into the water.
You watched Yansheng slid into the lake again, feeling a little worried in his heart.
Although the young master can't speak very much and has a clumsy mouth, he is still trying to make himself happy.If it wasn't for taking him to play with water, how could he have slipped into it?
Moreover, this child can't swim!
The young Yu looked at the maids wearing heavy clothes on the bank of the bridge, and quickly made a decision in his heart—let her rescue the little devil Yansheng.
Yu took two steps down the steps, took off his clogs and foot bag, and plunged into the water with a plop.This time, the maids screamed even louder: "Ji Jun fell in too! Hurry up and call someone who can swim!"
The maids were all wearing heavy clothes, and if they rushed into the water, they would only sink deeper with the two children, so that no one dared to act rashly.When there was a heap of bustle on the shore, someone suddenly said, "Look! Ji Jun brought the young master up here!"
Everyone took a closer look, and it was indeed so—that Ji Jun actually grabbed the young master by the collar and dragged him to the stone steps.This kind of crisp and neat behavior is completely opposite to Ji Jun's usual image of being quiet and well-behaved.
The poor young master was bubbling, his eyes were dim and his face was pale.On the contrary, You was calmer. After landing on the shore, he brushed off the water on his body and said to Yan Sheng: "Young master, I'm fine now."
Yan Sheng opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Yu's fair face covered with water drops close in front of him.He smiled contentedly and said, "You really like playing with water!"
Yu opened his mouth, feeling the urge to grab Iwakatsu's ears.
People who can't swim, don't stay so close to the water!
However, the other party fell into the water just to bring her to play.
I feel a little bit sorry.She is actually a very gentle little guy who can sense the kindness of others.
——In the end, Yansheng was severely punished by Lord Guoshou for the reason of "playing".No one believed that the young master, who had always been strict and self-disciplined, went to the waterside to make You happy. Everyone thought that the six-year-old child couldn't suppress his instinct and ran to play in the water by himself, so that he stumbled and fell into the water.
As a punishment, Ji Guoyansheng was forced to be locked up in his own temple and copy Buddhist scriptures every day.On the third day of copying Buddhist scriptures, You actually came to visit him, which surprised Yansheng.
"Ji Jun, are you here to see me?" He held a pen and asked seriously.
The young master is obviously still very young, but the young palm is full of cocoons from holding the bamboo sword.He has practiced swordsmanship since he was a child, which is the proof of his diligence.When the hands hold the pen, it looks a little distressed.
"Yes." You said to Yan Sheng, "Don't get so close to the water next time. If I'm not here, no one can save you."
After hearing this, Yansheng felt the urge to dive into the ground with his head in his arms.After finally trying to make her laugh by playing with water, he slipped and slipped into the water, messing everything up.Now in Ji Jun's heart, he must be a clumsy landlubber.
——Ah, the future husband is so stupid, which woman would be happy!
"I still want to take you to the seaside of Dongxunfang." Yan Sheng frowned, "Now, I can't finish copying these Buddhist scriptures in ten days and half a month. Speaking of which, I still want to take you to see Yuanyi—"
"...Yuichi?" You asked with some doubts, "Who is that?"
"It's my younger brother." Yan Sheng said, "Actually, he told me the idea of giving you azaleas and taking you to play in the water. It's amazing! However, he is a very poor child and can't speak , it seems that the ears are not very good. If the father doesn't like him, he will always act like a baby in front of the mother..."
Iwakatsu's sympathy is all too obvious, and it's clear that the two brothers' lives are completely different.
You asked: "Is the rumor true? Young master, do you really have a younger brother with one mother?"
"Yes. But don't worry." Yansheng said confidently, "Although he is my younger brother, he has no chance of becoming the next house governor. When he turns ten years old, he will be sent to a temple to become a monk For monks."
"……Really?"
After learning of Enichi's existence from Iwakatsu, Yu decided to meet this person.
Although she is a child, she is extraordinarily mature.She knew that she was different from ordinary girls and shouldered the mission of marrying the next governor of the country.This is not a joke, it is an important task related to the entire Anyi Kingdom.
If Yansheng still has a younger brother, what kind of existence does this "brother" have for Mr. Guoshou?Does he have the possibility of inheriting the family governor?If necessary, I have to ask the two retainers to write a letter and send it to my father and elder brother who are far away in An Yiguo.
She asked the nanny to inquire, and finally found out where this boy named "Jiguo Yuanyi" lived.The whole successor country kept a secret about him and kept silent.Occasionally mentioned, only said "that child", without mentioning the name.
/ / /
This child named "Yuanyi" lives in a remote south-facing courtyard. It is said that there was a big fire here, and no one has lived there since. Nobody cares.
Yu walked through the knee-high courtyard with wild grass, and walked along the old corridor.Finally, he saw a boy under the fence by the pond.
He was wearing a simple monochromatic kimono and a pair of thick rope geta.He was the same age as Yansheng, but he didn't have any rich clothes, and his long hair was loosely scattered behind him; under the rolled up sleeves, there were many rough marks on his wrists and fingertips.Yansheng's palms were not smooth either, but they were made from holding a sword; but this boy was different, obviously rough due to years of doing chores.
He was squatting in front of the fence, and was carefully pouring a small kettle to water the rhododendrons blooming on the fence.The bright red flowers show a slender figure like a dancing girl, and a whole bunch of buds are like tassels hanging from a hairpin.
"Are you taking care of these azaleas?" Yu asked curiously.
The clogs clicked softly, and the boy turned slowly.He is very similar to Iwakatsu, with a fair and delicate face and clear eyes, like the most elaborately carved puppet in the Joruri drama.However, his forehead and chin are covered with a rippling birthmark, which is the most different place between him and Iwakatsu.
He showed a smile towards You, it was a very pure and clean smile, without any distracting thoughts, so simple that it was even a little ethereal, as clean as the vegetation by the pond.
Yu even felt that if this boy named "Yuanyi" had grown up in Yansheng's life of rich clothes and heavy family business, he would not have such a pure smile.
"These rhododendrons... are you tending to?" she asked the question again.After she finished asking, she suddenly remembered that Yansheng said that this Yuanyi seemed to be dumb and his ears were not very good.Maybe he didn't understand what he was asking at all.
However, Yuanyi nodded.
It turned out that he could hear himself and understand her.
You were a little surprised, but she quickly understood that the boy in front of her was the one who gave her azaleas and guessed that she liked being by the water.
She couldn't help but approached the hedge, looked at the rhododendron blooming on it, and whispered: "The rhododendron will wither after summer, and now is the most beautiful time. I don't know how long it will last?" "
The young Ji Jun was wearing a light-colored kimono, and there was a ray of regret that didn't match his age on his tender face.She has very long black hair, which is combed into a girl's hair ornament, and a string of rattan shellfish is pinned to her sideburns, just like the maiden seeking immortality painted on the door leaf covered with gold leaf.
Yuanyi looked at her, blinked, and reached out to pluck a rhododendron from the fence.
"Ah..." She was a little surprised.
The next moment, the boy with a pure smile stretched out his hand and pinned the cuckoo to her ear.He tilted his head and smiled, and there was a warm warmth in his eyes, which was as warm as bathing in the sun.You bowed your head and touched your ear, the tentacles were soft petals.
"...Thank you." She said, her face slowly flushed.
