Chapter 178 178
Ishida-sama's injuries are serious.
He was hit in the neck, chest, abdomen and legs by seven-year-old Ji Guoyuan. Although no bones were injured, huge swellings swelled up at the injured places.If the attacker had been more vicious, perhaps Ishida-sama would never be able to stand up again.
Such an injury cannot be explained by "good luck".Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the young master Ji Guoyuan, who is just holding a sword for the first time, possesses an incomparable talent in swordsmanship.
This kind of swordsmanship is even far superior to that of the young master Ji Guoyan Sheng - within a day, the news spread in Ji Guo.
Then, there was a scene that had never happened before——
As soon as Ji Guoyuan was summoned to Lord Guoshou, he waited for a long time before leaving.No one knew what the father and son who had hardly spoken to each other said in the room. The servants only saw that when the door opened, Young Master Yuan had a sad expression on his face; while Master Guoshou was even more energetic.
"Perhaps he is happy that both sons have outstanding talents."
"However, Young Master Yuanyi's talent obviously far exceeds that of Young Master..."
"Shh."
Master Guoshou's attitude towards Yuanyi has changed.
The young master Yuanyi who was abandoned in the corner and no one cared about him got a new room, bedding and clothes.Although these rewards are not as good as the brocade clothes that Yan Sheng has had since he was a child, they are much better than what Yuan Yi had before.
However, Yuanyi seemed unwilling to accept these.
Although the servant has prepared a new room for him, it is close to the pond, with beautiful scenery, and only a corridor away from Mrs. North Hall; but he is unwilling to rest there; In the small bedroom, put on the simple linen kimono, and go to sleep with the clothes.
The servants started worrying.
In order for young master Yuanyi to accept the rewards from the guardians of the country, the servants had to hover around Yuanyi, persuading him.Whenever Yansheng sneaks to Yuanyi to ask the secret of swordsmanship, he will see this lively scene.
"Please move into a new room!"
"Change your clothes! The current clothes are too inappropriate for your identity."
"This is the wish of Lord Guoshou."
But Yuanyi just shook his head and stood quietly.There was always a hint of sadness in his eyes.
The servants' begging or flattering words made Yansheng stop far away, unwilling to go forward.He no longer ran to his younger brother without any scruples like before, playing with him excitedly.
Now, when Ji Guoyansheng saw his younger brother surrounded by everyone, he felt uneasy and nauseated.This unprecedented uneasiness enveloped Yan Sheng's heart, making him toss and turn as a young boy, making it difficult to fall asleep.However, he didn't know who to turn to to resolve this anxiety.
Mother?My mother seems to be in a bad mood recently. She has been resting in bed and rarely goes out. She shouldn't be disturbed.father?But his father will show disappointed eyes to himself, right?
"Why do you devote all your power to the successor country to raise you, but your talent is not as good as your younger brother?" Yan Sheng was afraid to hear such words from his father.
In the end, the six or seven-year-old Iwakatsu wandered to Xizhisuo, and approached Yu's residence on tiptoe.He thought maybe that
A gentle and innocent Ji Jun will tell him seriously: "Yuanyi's talent is not stronger than the young master, that's just a coincidence."
If you can hear Ji Jun's comfort, maybe you will feel more at ease.
Yan Sheng stood in front of the half-folded water waist paper door, and quietly poked his head out.Behind the door, several ladies are teaching Ji Jun how to make fragrances.They held the incense in bowls and asked Ji Jun to smell them one by one, and then taught her that these incenses were called "Songhe", "Hundred Peach", and "Jialuo".
You sat upright, with two strands of jet-black hair hanging down from the tips of the ears, obediently sticking to her fair cheeks.As soon as Yan Sheng saw her clean and beautiful face, the dark clouds in his heart were quietly swept away.
"Ji Jun..."
"Have you heard? That young master Yuanyi showed extremely powerful sword skills. Do you think that young master Yuanyi will be the last one to inherit the family business?"
Just as Yan Sheng was about to speak, the female officials behind the door began to gossip.Holding the incense lamps, they said in a serious manner: "If it is the young master Yuanyi who inherits the successor country in the end, then I will not be surprised! In such a wealthy family, anything can happen."
Another female official smiled and replied: "What does that have to do with our Ji Jun? The person our Ji Jun wants to marry is the future governor of the country. No matter who becomes the family governor, she will marry. For the sake of security Yiguo, this is necessary. If the man you marry is not the governor of the family, then Ji Jun will lose the meaning of existence."
Yansheng outside the door couldn't help clenching his teeth.He clasped his five fingers, and slowly squatted down his small body.
He suddenly realized a terrible reality, his identity might soon be swapped with Yuanyi.
Even if he is unwilling, even if it is painful, if Yuanyi really has that terrible swordsmanship talent, then the successor country's family business will probably fall on his head; and he will move into the three-fold big room In Li, he became an ominous person, and went to the temple to become a monk after he was ten years old.
Moreover, Yuan will marry Ji Jun away.Yan Sheng squatted on the ground, staring at the white on the foot bag in a daze.At this moment, a sufang-colored skirt fell in front of his eyes, and You's voice came from above his head: "Young master, are you feeling unwell? Why are you squatting here? Do you have a stomachache?"
Yansheng raised his head, and in his field of vision, Yu's face was somewhat blurred.Only then did he realize that his eyes were shamefully covered with the angry tears of children.
You took out a handkerchief from the collar and handed it to Yan Sheng: "Young master, I have something to ask you."
Yansheng didn't take the handkerchief, and hastily wiped away his tears with his cuff, and said forcefully: "What? If it's about Yuanyi, then I don't know. Yuanyi and I didn't talk very much, it was because my father didn't allow it." of."
"...It's not that kind of thing." You laughed, "It was the camellia that the young master said to plant in the garden before, how is it now? Has it grown?"
Yan Sheng was stunned for a moment, vaguely remembering that there was indeed such a thing.When Ji Jun first came to Ruozhou, he missed the winter camellia in his hometown; he begged his mother and hired a craftsman to plant a piece of camellia in the courtyard.
"It has already grown." Yan Sheng whispered, "Does Ji Jun want to come and see?"
"Okay." She said, without mentioning Yuanyi at all.
Yan Sheng wiped away his tears, and led her to the door of his room
at the courtyard.The newly planted camellia has drawn out dark green branches and leaves, fluttering in the summer wind.Maybe when winter comes, bright red flowers will bloom in the snow.
"This is my favorite flower." She smiled and said to Yan Sheng, "Thank you, Yan Shengdian."
"..." Yan Sheng looked at her smiling face, slowly lowered his head, and said in frustration, "Aren't you going to ask about that?"
"What's the matter?"
"It's about Yuanyi." Yansheng sat down on the stone steps, like an ordinary child who lost his favorite toy, with a dejected expression, "Everyone said that Yuanyi has extraordinary swordsmanship skills, and he will replace me sooner or later, and then inherit The Jiguo clan's family business. At that time, Ji Jun will marry Yuanyi, too."
You blinked and said, "Has the young master conceded defeat so quickly? Are you sure that young master Yuanyi will beat you?"
Yansheng said angrily: "That's not a question of whether I admit defeat or not! That's a talent that I can never surpass! Whether it's my father, Mr. Ishida, or other retainers, everyone thinks so."
You said, "Is the young master planning to give up?"
Yan Sheng pouted, with a complicated expression.To be honest, he didn't want to give up at all, and he didn't want to switch identities with the younger brother who he pitied since childhood.He is used to the young master's life surrounded by everyone, and it is impossible for him to live the down-and-out life that Yuanyi once had.However, when he thought of the god-given talents possessed by Yuanyi, he became depressed and couldn't cheer up.
"Young master doesn't want to give up yet." You said, "Since you don't want to give up, why don't you ask Master Yuanyi the secret of his powerful swordsmanship? Maybe you will also have the same swordsmanship. In this way, the two brothers They all have extraordinary talents, even the Lord Guoshou would not have the heart to give up one of them."
Her voice was delicate and soft, like a layer of continuous waves washing up on the golden sand.After Yan Sheng heard this, the knot in his heart seemed to be slightly untied.After all, he was not reconciled, after much deliberation, he decided to do what she said.
The two went to find Ji Guoyuan together.
When they saw Yuanyi, the group of servants who had been surrounding Yuanyi didn't know where they went. He was sitting alone in the corridor, barefoot, looking up at the sky with a dazed expression.
"...Yuanyi." Yan Sheng raised his face and called out his younger brother's name, "I want to ask you, how did you achieve that kind of swordsmanship?"
Hearing his brother's call, Yuan Yi dropped his gaze, shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't want to talk about swordsmanship anymore."
Yan Sheng was very upset, and sat beside him and asked forcefully, "What! You obviously haven't learned swordsmanship, why did you defeat Lord Ishida? How did you do it? I want to defeat Lord Ishida too!"
Yuan Yi's expression was a little uncomfortable, and he remained silent all the time.But Yan Sheng refused to give up and kept asking questions.Finally, Yuanyi said something incomprehensible: "When Ishida-sama is about to attack, his lungs will move violently. As long as he can clearly see the movement of bones, muscles, and blood, he can make a judgment in advance."
Yansheng listened with a strange expression.
"Are you...are you kidding me?" Yan Sheng murmured, "How could it be possible to see bones, muscles and blood!"
"..." Yuan Yi's expression was a little dazed, "Brother, can't you see it?"
"..."
Gradually, Ji Guoyansheng's expression froze.It took him a long time to comprehend—in the eyes of his younger brother, the same as his
The people fighting are all transparent, and Yuanyi can clearly grasp the dynamics of the opponent's bones, muscles and blood.This, like the markings on his forehead, is an innate ability.
This was something Iwakatsu had never heard before.
No matter whether it is the teacher or the father, no one has ever mentioned such a thing.This is more like the talent that the younger brother was bestowed by the gods alone.Because this talent was too strong, the gods deprived him of the ability to speak before the age of seven, and let him live in this small, three-story room in order to fair his fate.
"Don't talk about swordsmanship." Yuanyi lowered his head, his tone was a little sad, and said, "I want to play with everyone more. ... Besides, I don't want to be a samurai anymore. Sorry."
The last sentence seemed to be addressed to Yu who was sitting quietly at the side.
He originally promised to become the second most powerful warrior in the country and protect important people; but now he has to renege on the promise, because he really doesn't like the feeling of easily hurting others with a sword.
Yan Sheng was stunned, and hadn't recovered from the "transparent world" described by Yuan Yi.Yutuo on the side smiled and said, "Don't be a samurai? Isn't that good? If you want to protect others, you don't have to practice swordsmanship and become a samurai."
After a pause, she raised her finger and said, "Master Guan Bai of the imperial court does not know swordsmanship, so he still stands out from other families besides Wushe; in the past, there was a tea ceremony master named Qian Lixiu, through his outstanding and pious tea ceremony, He was appreciated by the overlord, and has since become a member of the palace. I heard that no matter where the overlord goes to the battlefield, he will bring this tea master with him. If you don’t drink a cup before the battle, you will feel uneasy.”
Her consolation finally made Yuanyi smile a little.
"There is always another way to protect the person you want to protect." Yuan Yi said.
"But," Yansheng interrupted suddenly sullenly, "Father thinks twins are inauspicious. One of Yuanyi and I must leave the successor country and be sent to a temple."
All three children were silent.
What Yan Sheng said was an indisputable fact that must be faced.When Yansheng and Yuan lived together, one of them would leave the successor country and become a monk, while the other would inherit the family business and marry Ji Jun of Anyi Kingdom.
You recalled how the young Yuanyi pinned the cuckoo to her ear when they first met; for the first time, there was a trace of reluctance in her heart.
Could the one heading to the temple be Enichi?
She looked at Ji Guoyuan, and frowned slightly.The boy seemed to be looking at her too, his eyes were like quiet water waves falling down.
Youxiang: If possible, she doesn't want Yuanyi to leave here.In this foreign land far away from her homeland, Yuanyi is the only child who can understand her feelings and comfort her.
She was worrying in her heart, Yan Sheng stood up and said dryly, "I'll go first."
"Young master?" You looked over puzzled.
Ji Guoyansheng looked at Yuanyi, then at You, gritted his teeth, and stood up like an adult.
"Anyway, I'm the extra one!"
Yan Sheng dropped this sentence childishly, turned around and ran away.
He was not mistaken, just now, after he said "one of the two must go to the temple", from the beginning to the end, Ji Jun watched Yuanyi.She was very reluctant to part with Yuan Yi, and she didn't even have time to pay attention to herself.
The playmate Ji Jun wants to keep is his younger brother Yuanyi, who will come up with the idea of using azaleas to please the girl, knows that she misses the coast and water veins of her hometown, and will coax her with childish games like blowing bubbles Happy Ji Guo Yuan Yi, not Ji Guo Yan Sheng.
Yansheng gritted his teeth and walked angrily.He walked quickly at first, and finally started to trot. He ran faster and faster until he passed through the entire palace and stood at the city wall on the edge of the city.The setting sun has already slanted down, and the golden afterglow sprinkles all over the sky, and the bustling city of Ruozhou can be seen in front of your eyes.
Yansheng looked at the city in front of him, speechless in a daze.After a while, he bent down to pick up a stone from the ground, threw it out heavily, and shouted as if venting: "Why——"
There were layers of echoes, as if Shan was answering his nonsensical questions.
/ / /
After that day, time seemed to stand still.
Yansheng never came to Yuu again, and the children who used to be intimate and played together had nothing to say; only she and Yuanyi were left, and occasionally in the interval between watering the flowers and plants, they would mention the sudden Iwakatsu, who has become taciturn and difficult to contact.
"My brother doesn't want to play with me anymore. Whether it's kites or double six, he's not interested anymore."
"The young master hasn't said a word to me anymore. In winter, the toon flowers should bloom..."
However, when staying with Yuanyi, Yu is happy.Although Yuanyi doesn't have the brocade clothes like Yansheng, he always wears messy and thin coarse clothes, and his hair is not combed carefully, but his smile is simple and sincere, like the warm sun in the sky, which catches people's eyes You will feel admiration in your heart.
He has no particular ambitions. He doesn't want to be powerful or rich. He just wants to stay with important people and take care of his own flowers and plants.After being with him for a long time, even You also understood how to cultivate the rhododendron's grass branches so that it can bloom flowers that make the girl's heart beat.
Because she has been in the nursery for a long time, it is inevitable that her nails will get mud.The nanny would wipe her fingers very unhappy, and teach her a lesson: "You are Ji Jun, Ji Jun cannot do such rude things! Putting your hands in the mud is so disrespectful, you have to step down!" Waiting for a girl from the people's family to do this..."
Yu lowered his eyes, and there was a vague thought in his heart.
If only she was really a girl from ordinary people's family, not Ji Jun from An Yiguo.
If this is the case, even if she and Yuanyi play together in the nursery all day, no one will come to reprimand her for her gaffe.
As a punishment for "playing around with mud", the nanny and the female officials asked You to stay out of the house, practice sewing in the room, and embroider qualified patterns on the hairband before going out to play.
Holding the calamus-colored hairband, she thought carefully and decided to embroider azalea patterns on it.That kind of delicate and bright red flowers, with a faint fragrance, is enough to make people have a good dream all night.If it is tied in the hair, it is like breaking a cuckoo and pinning it to the ear.
You's sewing is not good, and Ji Jun of the famous family doesn't need to learn such indifferent things. This is a skill specially taught by the nanny.Therefore, she clumsily traced the pattern, and then the nanny twisted the silk thread of the appropriate color, and embroidered the tiny azalea patterns bit by bit.
To be honest, the cuckoo she embroiders is really not like a cuckoo, it even looks a little funny.nanny saw half
When it was finished, I couldn't help laughing out the wrinkles in the corners of my eyes.
"How should I say it! Ji Jun is really still young." Such annoying words came out of the nanny's mouth.
On the night when the headband was about to be embroidered, it happened to be autumn in Ruozhou.At night, the courtyard with fallen leaves is freezing cold, and the female officials will close the doors early, light the tile lamps and smokers, and coax You to go to bed early.
It was also this night that Ji Guoyuan knocked on the door suddenly.
Yu saw the small figure outside the door, and guessed who it was.She tiptoedly pushed open the door, and saw Yuan Yi kneeling in front of her own door.
"Yuanyi, are you coming to play with me?" She whispered, and tightened her coat.The autumn night wind came in through the crack of the door, making her shiver slightly, "I've been grounded, so I can't go out..."
Yuan Yi leaned down and bowed quietly, "Ji Jun, I'm here to say goodbye."
Xiao Xiaoyou was stunned, put his hands on the ground, and asked suspiciously: "...Farewell? Where are you going?"
Yuan Yi still lowered his head and said, "I'm going to go to the temple now."
After saying this, he finally raised his head.The boy's face was the same as when we first met, soft, clean, and clear, like a warm sun.
Yu froze for a moment.
"Why so suddenly?" She wondered.
"Something happened. When you wake up tomorrow morning, Ji Jun will understand." Yuan Yi replied.
She shook her head, with a look of disbelief: "Master Guoshou hasn't spoken yet, you don't have to go to the temple! Isn't it good to stay in the successor country? The young master may not have the heart to let you go..."
Yuanyi smiled slowly, with a slight tenderness in his eyes: "My brother and I, there must be someone who goes to the temple. Otherwise, one day it will lead to bitter fruit. I hope that the person who goes to the temple is me."
You opened your mouth, lowered your eyes, feeling a little astringent in your heart.She asked in a low voice: "Then... what should I do?" Yuan Yi smiled and said, "Brother...he likes you very much, and he will do his best to protect you. If you have brother by your side, I will Very reassuring."
Her eyebrows were knotted, she couldn't speak, she wanted to open her mouth, but felt a lump in her throat, as if the rice ball she ate at night was still stuck there.She lowered her head and struggled to say, "But...but, I hope it's... Yuanyi..."
The person she likes more is Yuanyi.
But there was no way for her to say those words.
As the princess of An Yiguo, from the very beginning, she could not use "like it or not" to weigh the people who will accompany her for a lifetime in the future.All she has to do is to marry the future governor of the Jiguo family, no matter who that person is, whether she likes it or hates it.
She swallowed that sentence back into her belly, lowered her head, and whispered, "Yuanyi, do you have to go?"
"Yes." The boy replied, "Next, I will go to say goodbye to my brother. From now on, no matter where I am, I will always remember my brother's friendship with me, and I will also remember Ji Jun's kindness."
She nodded, choked up and unable to speak, small tears fell down and wet the tatami.Finally, she pulled out the headband she sewed from her sleeve and handed it to Yuanichi.
"Take this, please, I made it with my own hands," she said softly, "My hands are clumsy, and I sew
It doesn't look good, I hope Yuanyi won't dislike it. "
Yuan Yi was slightly taken aback.
After a moment of silence, the boy carefully took the hair tie and said, "I will always treasure it. Thank you, Ji Jun." Then, he stood up, saluted You, turned and left.The thin figure of the boy was slowly submerged in the night.She pushed the door wider, only to see the autumn wind in the courtyard blowing a fallen leaf.
