Time flies very quickly, and before he knew it, it was December 1, and Yu Qiuping claimed his birthday. Yu Qiuping has been traveling between the two places these days. Although it is very busy, it is very fulfilling, which makes him gradually forget that he does not belong to this era.
"The little girl asked me sneakily about my birthday. Could it be that she wanted to prepare a gift for me?" Yu Qiuping thought of Imagawa Kaede's shy look at that time, and a smile quietly climbed up to the corner of her mouth.
"Personal Guard, I'm going to go back to Jun Mansion today." Yu Qiuping packed his bags, "When I'm not in the territory, I'll leave all the affairs of all the land in the territory to you.
"As for your order, sir." The personal guard replied.
"Where is Guonosuke? Why didn't you see him?" Yu Qiuping asked.
"Kuangnosuke got up in the morning to practice martial arts and went out before dawn." said the personal guard. "Since I saw that child, I have worked so hard every day and will definitely make a bright future."
"Haha, that momentum is almost the same as Charlie." Yu Qiuping smiled, "To put it, is Charlie still enjoyable to get along with everyone?"
The personal guard hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not very good."
"Apart from knowing me for a long time, he is more familiar with me," the personal soldier treated his own eye mask. "He hardly communicates with others, and practices arrows every day. He usually drinks together at night, but he never participates."
"If you have time, please help me coordinate." Yu Qiuping said.
"As for your order, sir." The personal guards answered obediently.
"And also, if you help me with the production of craftsmen, please keep an eye on the matter of training." Yu Qiuping thought for a while and added, "The most important thing is the issue of the formulation and enforcement of the law. Those interim judges may not be very skilled. If you have time, you can help."
"As for your order, sir." The personal guard bowed.
Yu Qiuping glanced at the personal guards and suddenly laughed, "I see, the most common thing you said to me is to obey the order."
"Sir." The personal guard also smiled, "I will do my best to complete the order given by the master."
"Every time, no matter what trouble it is, I'm too lazy to do, it's for you," Yu Qiuping said with some guilt, "Would you be too tired?"
"I vow to follow the Lord in this life, so I will do my best." The personal guard clasped his fists and said.
"I'm here, you and I are dealing with problems. The way you deal with people is a bit like that." Yu Qiuping laughed, "It's getting late, I'll leave first."
After Yu Qiuping rode his horse back to Junfu City, he immediately rushed back to his temporary residence in Tianshou Pavilion. In order to find an excuse to go to the fifth floor of Tianshou Pavilion, he drove out three territorial inspection reports in a row and sent them to Imakawa Yoshimoto's table. After coming out, he would deliberately walk along the far stairs. However, no matter how loud the footsteps were when he passed by Imakawa Kaede's room, he never heard anyone responded.
When Yu Qiuhei arrived at Imakawa Yoshimoto's table for the third time, Imakawa Yoshimoto was a little surprised, "Yu Qiu, these three reports are no different, why do you have to make three?" He smiled, "Have you become a workaholic like Sena? This needs to be cured."
"The hall is joking." Yu Qiuping's face turned red.
"Come and smell the incense of the Chidori incense burner," Imakawa Yoshimoto pushed the Chidori incense burner out a little carefully from the table, "It has the effect of calming the spirit. Judging from your six-sacred appearance, I don't know what you have given birth." Imakawa Yoshimoto blinked, and his expression was somewhat similar to Imakawa Kaede. He teased, "Can you fall in love with a lady from which family?"
By the time Yu Qiuping said goodbye from Imagawa Yoshimoto's house in a mess, it was already noon. Imagawa Kaede did not show up for a long time, which made Yu Qiuping so anxious.
"Aren't you here to celebrate my birthday?" Yu Qiuping was a little surprised.
"Hongye, are you back?" When he was distracted, he met Toshi Semeji who was walking in the corridor on the fourth floor.
"Your Highness Seine." Yu Qiuhei gave a hurry, "I just came back in the morning."
"I have been running around these days, it's time to have a good rest." Semine Shin-sama said with concern, "I'll invite you to eat something, you can have a good rest too."
"Will Your Highness Seine take the initiative to rest?" Yu Qiuping wanted to refuse, "I thought Your Highness could not get out of work?"
"Ah, the red leaves are deeply rooted in my heart." Semeishi Toshi smiled helplessly, "The main hall sent someone to lock my office, saying that it was to let me relax. I have been walking around the corridor for several times, and I am so worried."
"Haha, the hall is really... unique." Yu Qiuhei thought for a while, and a "unique" popped up. Yu Qiuhei and Seme Toshi smiled. Seme Toshi's warm invitation made Yu Qiuhei embarrassed to refuse him. For so long, Seme Toshi has been taking care of him, helping him not only to be promoted, but also offended most of the subordinates of the Imakawa family to shelter from the wind and rain. They can also be said to be concerned about their own life. Yu Qiuhei actually felt a sense of father from him.
In the hotel, Yu Qiuping was a little absent-minded and kept thinking about where Imakawa Kaede went.
"Is Hongye something wrong?" Semeishi Toshi noticed Yu Qiuhei's abnormality and asked.
Yu Qiuhei hesitated for a moment, not wanting to turn away Semine Shin's concern, "I'm not hiding it." He smiled, "I have a sweetheart."
"Oh?" Semine Shin's eyes lit up, and he was considerate and didn't ask too much, "If you have anything to do, you can come and ask me for help at any time."
After dinner, Yu Qiuping went to several places in Junfu City that he had been with Imagawa Kaede before, and went to the rockery in the garden next to Tianshou Pavilion, but he could not see Imagawa Kaede.
"Is it...Is it okay to go to the back mountain?" Yu Qiuping rode his horse towards the back mountain, passing through the paper-red leaf forest that had been stained with heavy snow. From a distance, you can see that smoke was coming out of the chimney of Imakawa Kaede's wooden house, and it seemed that the stove was ignited.
"It's true here." Yu Qiuping smiled. He quietly got off the horse from a very far away and walked up, worried that the sound of horse hooves would make the girl appear early.
Yu Qiuhei tied his horse to Imagawa Kaede's horse, and he quietly walked around the back door. When he passed by the open window, Yu Qiuhei appeared. Imagawa Kaede was sitting on a chair with his back against the window, his hands on his chest and didn't know what he was busy with.
Yu Qiupi then smiled evilly, stretched out his hand and covered Imagawa Kaede's eyes from behind.
Imakawa Kaede exclaimed, and Xun realized who was coming. She tried to hide the things on her hands, but she suddenly brought them to the ground. Yu Qiuping also heard the sound of metal hitting the ground and a ball of red stuff.
"Ah! Why did you come suddenly?" Imakawa Kaede hurriedly stood up, closed the window without saying a word, and locked Yu Qiuping outside. Yu Qiuping, who was amused, immediately ran towards the back door. The moment he pushed the back, Imakawa Kaede was trying to lock the door.
"Feng'er, what are you doing?" Yu Qiuping laughed in silence, "Hide here and don't let me in."
"Hing! Don't come over." After seeing Yu Qiuping coming in from the back door, Imakawa Kaede hurriedly walked to the front of the stool and blocked the things behind him. But Yu Qiuping could still vaguely see two sewing needles and a red fabric. So Yu Qiuping smiled wickedly and walked forward unyieldingly. Imakawa Kaede was still wearing the coat today. It was not very convenient to move, blocking the left and right, but Yu Qiuping picked up the red fabric on the ground.
It is a red shawl. On the shawl, dozens of silk-made red leaves were embroidered on it. The hands holding the shawl trembled slightly, and dozens of red leaves would rustle.
The traces of scissors can be seen from the corners of the silk red leaves, which should have been cut by the girl one by one. Yu Qiuping looked at it and found that dozens of red leaves were almost exactly the same. It can be seen that the girl took some effort.
The thread tip of the shawl is a little rough, but it is embroidered very carefully and is sewn tightly with every stitch and thread.
"You ruined my little surprise." Imakawa Kaede muttered sweetly, "I originally wanted to practice the last one today and give you a birthday gift tonight. As a result, you see it now."
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, grabbed Imakawa Kaede's hand without saying a word and sent it to her face. The fingertips of the soft and white little hand were pierced into many places. Some places had scabbed, and some were still red. What made Yu Qiuping feel most distressed was a wound on his ring finger that was slightly bleeding.
"Didn't it mean that the girl Hong didn't study hard?" Yu Qiuhei hugged Imagawa Kaede into his arms and said softly. It seemed that he could see in his mind that Imagawa Kaede clumsyly held the sewing needle and helped Yu Qiuhei sew a shawl stitch by stitch. He accidentally pricked his hand, stopped the bleeding, and then endured the pain and continued to sew. Each stitch seemed to be stuck in Yu Qiuhei's heart.
"Silly girl, why are you doing this?" Yu Qiuping suddenly whimpered, "I will feel distressed."
"Um." Yu Qiuping's sudden crying made Imagawa Kaede feel throbbing. She was stunned for a moment and said softly, "That day... Hei seemed to care about... the girl's appearance. I just wanted to... prove it."
"Well, Feng'er, you are like this. If my clothes are torn in the future, who will repair them?" Yu Qiuping asked with a smile.
"And." Imakawa Kaede suddenly brought a sense of vigor and joy, "You like Hongye so much, you will definitely like this gift."
"Feng'er, I didn't mean that at that time." Yu Qiuping choked and hugged Imagawa Cassia tightly. "Even if Feng'er can't do anything, she is my favorite Feng'er." Imagawa Cassia's cheeks turned red, and she snuggled with Yu Qiuping sweetly.
"Then... do you like Ping?" The girl raised her head, her smile was very beautiful.
"I like it, of course I like it." Yu Qiuping smiled. He carefully picked up the shawl, draped it on his shoulders, tied a knot on his chest with ribbons on his chest, which was just the size. "I have been wearing it all my life."
The cold wind blew in from the window. Imakawa Kaede shook slightly because of the coldness, buried his head in Yu Qiuping's chest, and said softly in a slight voice as thin as a mosquito.
"Hai, do you know, in our Suruga legend," Imakawa Kaede paused, "there is a tradition."
"Before girls get married, they must be a girl-red girl, and give it to the boys who are hired. After the boy accepts the gift, he will be... officially engaged." Imakawa Kaede's voice became smaller and smaller, and his shy look was completely different from the lively and cheerful girl he usually had.
"But I haven't been hired yet..." Yu Qiuping said with a frown.
"It's already gone." Imagawa Kaede said with a clever smile, lifting the pendant from his chest.
"This cannot be counted..." Yu Qiuping said, "This will be given to our son in the future..."
"There are those." Imakawa Kaede looked out the window, then raised his head, staring at Yu Qiuping's eyes full of deep love, and said happily: "The red leaves all over the mountain are the betrothal gifts you gave me."
"Feng'er," he lowered his head slightly and called her softly. She trembled for a moment, but this time it was not because of the cold. This was not suitable. She should have retreated, but she just raised her face and closed her eyes.
The kiss was gentle and gentle at first, and Imagawa Kaede had never tasted such a sweet feeling. Her arms unconsciously moved upwards and surrounded his neck. The kiss became deeper and they pressed tighter. Yu Qiuping took it in her mouth with all his heart, tasting the fragrance between her lips and teeth, and the warm softness. Imagawa Kaede felt like a drowning person, and in this world, he was the only one who could hold on tight.
