Chapter 722 A Ronin
The snow finally melted gradually, and the spring will be of a different interest.
It was seven days in a blink of an eye, and the water was gushing in the mansion. The Izumi-Shibu concealed many uneasiness. He pretended to be peaceful and chatted with the maid. He stood at the entrance of the corridor and looked inside, just asking, "What is Yamada doing?"
"Mr. Yamada, I write books in the study every day, using the paper I obtained last time in the Prince's Mansion."
"Ah, let's go and have a look."
Although it was winter, the weather became mild. Several people walked into the corridor and saw the window of the study open. Nobuichi Yamada was writing in front of several cases.
"It is said that I wrote a collection of poems by Youpushe..."
"The word "is very elegant" and it really doesn't look like a warrior, let alone killing people."
The maids whispered, and Izumi Shibu lowered her head secretly. Her eyes fell on him. Although she had become accustomed to it in recent days, she was still a little dazed. It took a long time to wake up.
"Hey, the Emperor you mentioned has been summoned for seven days."
Pei Ziyun stood up, admired his post, and said, "The emperor's summons will last for a few days at most. For a short one day, for a senior three days."
Wazumi Shibu pinched his fingers and looked pale, and seemed to not believe Pei Ziyun's words.
But she didn't care whether she believed it or not. Pei Ziyun said casually: "If such words are false, they will be exposed in a blink of an eye. Do you think I would be so unwise?"
"Besides, I killed Yuan Lai Guang's important retainer. Is there really something wrong? Will there be no movement these days?"
"Besides, I am not doing anything to write these poems. The Emperor will summon me or the female official for the poems."
"Is the poem sticker?" He Izumi Shibu was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and she slowly turned to her dignified handwriting, tidied up her hair bun, and looked at Pei Ziyun again, with a serious attitude and a little hidden expectation.
"Yamada-kun, are you saying true?"
"Please understand the situation of the young woman. She has just been abandoned by her father. If she covers up the crime of traitors, it is better to die early and be more purified."
"It's true, it was Abe who said this to me the day before yesterday." Pei Ziyun said directly without hesitation: "Besides, if you really want to be punished, you should refuse to be forced by me, and you will basically be fine."
"Abe's courtier?" In fact, this is the correct name. Izumi Shibu was a little relieved. In a blink of an eye, her attitude was much better than before.
"I was rude just now, please allow me to go back and deal with the matter. You are now..."
"You go and do your own thing, I'll write another article." Pei Ziyun knew what she was going to say, and said lightly.
Waizumi Shibu breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head slightly: "That's good, I'll give orders immediately so that the people in the mansion will not affect Yamada-kun's interest."
As he said that, he took a short walk out.
Looking at the back of Izumi Shibu, her long black hair is very eye-catching, and even her back looks graceful. Her appearance is said to be better than that of Qing Shao Nayan, and Qing Shao Nayan is better than that of Zi Shibu, but the opposite is true. This is really intriguing.
Pei Ziyun withdrew his gaze and chuckled: "Ha, it's interesting!"
When Izumi Shibu, who came out of the room, was immediately greeted by several maids. A female official came over. Although her figure looked weak, she was also quite beautiful. Unlike others, she bowed her waist and whispered: "Shibu, have you not made up your mind yet?"
Seeing that Kazumi Shibu was silent, she continued: "Yamada has been in the mansion for seven days. You should send someone to ask for someone to arrest Yamada. If you don't go, not only Shibu, but also the entire Juju and the Juju family will be severely criticized. The court officials will definitely think that Juju is colluding with this traitor."
Izumi Shibu looked up at the female official and looked at the maids. Although they didn't speak, their expressions were also in this way.
Izumi Shibu glanced at them, and anger appeared on his pale face, and his face darkened: "This matter has been discussed, so I will stop here. I will deal with Yamada's affairs. It must not be reported."
"But Shibu and Yamada killing are spread all over the city. If someone finds it in our mansion, then..."
The maids who used to dare not refute easily all spoke one after another.
Their thoughts, Izumi Shibu, could not understand them even more. They suppressed their annoyance and sneered: "Then I will say that this is Yamada's forced hostage. After all, you and I are both weak women and irresistible, and it may not be a disaster. Besides, you are all innocent and go your separate ways at that time."
"I'm really uneasy, I can quit today."
As soon as these words were spoken, several maids bowed their heads and dared not say them again.
Waving their hand, they asked them to retreat, and the close maid came over immediately and turned her body to Shibu Izumi: "I didn't tell anyone about Shibu, Yamada-kun's affairs..."
"It's okay, I'm in trouble and was scolded by my father. Except for you, everyone else is afraid of being disinterested." Izumi Shibu sighed, not blamed her.
There is a saying that the tree falls and money scatters.
She is now unable to protect herself, abandoned by her father and despised by outsiders. She has a house that is as unreliable as duckweed on the water.
Even her husband, when he learns about the capital, would have to break up with her.
Her lover is respectful to the prince, and her life and death are uncertain. Even if she can survive, she will definitely not renew her previous relationship.
These maids must be equally frightened and lost their composure. Don’t you know that Nobuichi Yamada is a hot potato, and who touches whom?
But she had no choice. She had seen Yamada's ferocity with her own eyes. She really disobeyed him. Not to mention that she would not be able to survive the disaster now.
"But they can't keep it."
The rule of the Heian era was that the palace chose the daughters of more than three nobles and nobles to be the female emperor or the servant, and the female emperor or the servant also took the daughters of more than five nobles to be the maids and female officials.
The daughters of more than five nobles, such as themselves, choose more than seven official positions as female officials or maids.
All of these will be paid for salaries.
Once abandoned by her husband and father, how could I afford to support a maid from such a background?
Rather than saying that these maids were afraid, they were worried about their future. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look gloomy, reluctantly cheered up and ordered things.
"Shibu, someone is coming from the palace!" Just as Shibu Izumi ordered Yamada Nobuichi to clean up the room and plan to organize the poetry manuscript in the study, a maid came to report in a panic look.
Waizumi Shibu was startled, then thought of the words of Nobuichi Yamada, and reluctantly calmed down, saying, "You follow me to welcome the female official."
Although she is the daughter of a nobleman and the wife of Izumizumaki, she also needs to go to the door to welcome the female official because the other party is representing the emperor.
My thoughts rolled in my heart. When I waited outside the door, I realized that not only the female officials who were riding in the ox cart were also surrounding a group of people watching the fun, pointing at the door.
Seeing her being surrounded by maids, the onlookers were excited and their voices came.
"...It's not that His Majesty the Emperor has heard about this. This woman is so erratic, really, tsk tsk..."
"Don't look for others before a year, and it will kill others and cause disaster."
"Shh, I heard that she had an evil ghost on her body, and she killed the Prince's Palace. People from the palace must be here to investigate the matter..."
These voices made Waizumi Shibu's face pale, and his always affectionate eyes showed anger.
The female official who came from the palace had an ordinary appearance but a good temperament. She was obviously from a noble family. She had heard about the Izumi Shibu and couldn't help but take a look.
But thinking of this task, she raised her chin slightly and said lightly: "Hawaizumi Shibu, I'm visiting your mansion. I have something to tell you, don't you invite me in?"
Waizumi Shibu was embarrassed and angry and said, "I'm rude, so please come in."
When the female official walked in slowly, she didn't dare to look at the onlookers, covered her face with a fan, and immediately said to the maid: "Close the door!"
The master was humiliated by outsiders, and the maids had long turned red. When they heard the order, they closed the door without saying a word.
"Is Yamada-kun, who is presenting poems to the Emperor, in your mansion?" The female official heard the movement and curled her lips slightly. When Izumi Shibu came up, she turned around and asked.
It turned out that the last time Abe Haraki's child came to pick up the poem was dedicated to the emperor?
Waizumi Shibu immediately replied: "Yamada-kun is in the mansion."
"That's good. I'm here this time, there is an emperor's order to convey to Yamada-kun." The female official said reservedly.
Izumi Shibu saw that the other party did not want to talk to him, and was ashamed and angry, but he could only bear it and accompany the other party in.
After walking quietly for a while, the group saw a pavilion. Izumi Shibu saw the figure in the pavilion at a glance and said to the female official: "Look, that's Yamada-kun."
At first glance, the young man was wearing a samurai robe, and could hold a pen and write. He was extremely charming. Even the female official who was used to seeing the ministers raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Izumi Shibu: "Please wait here."
When he passed by himself, Pei Ziyun was reading a book leisurely. The dozen or so pieces of ink that had not yet dried were placed beside him, which attracted the attention of the female official.
She then picked out one and read it aloud. After reading it, she realized that the style of the poem was very familiar.
"Does Your Pushe (Bai Juyi) actually have this poem?" she asked in surprise.
"Yes, but the collection of poems I presented last time already has these, so there is no need to contribute them again." Pei Ziyun answered casually.
At that time, Japanese aristocrats highly praised Bai Juyi's poems, especially aristocratic women. Everyone was familiar with "Wanye Collection" and Bai Juyi. It can be said that if they had not read Bai Juyi in this era, they would be despised and excluded from the social circle.
But not all Bai Juyi's poems have been spread to Japan. These poems that have never been read but are obviously in the style of Bai Juyi. Could it be that these poems have attracted the attention of His Majesty?
It was not until she finished reading it that she reluctantly let go and said to Pei Ziyun: "Mr. Yamada, I am here this time to convey your majesty's oral order to you. Your Majesty promises to meet you in Changhe Palace. There will be a ox cart to pick you up into the palace tomorrow."
Pei Ziyun didn't care where he met the Emperor, and the ultimate goal was not this.
"I understand, please report back to His Majesty the Emperor, I will enter the palace to meet on time." Pei Ziyun said lightly.
The female official glanced at him deeply, then said goodbye and left.
When the female official left, Pei Ziyun continued to sit in the pavilion and wrote poems. After a while, another footstep came. He Quan Shibu walked to his side and looked down at him.
Then he asked: "Yamada Jun's handwriting is so elegant and elegant, which really surprised me."
Pei Ziyun smiled, took the tool, bound the poem that had just been written and dried, together with what she had written before, and handed it directly to the Izumi Shibu who was curious about reading. She didn't expect Pei Ziyun to do this and was surprised to see it.
Pei Ziyun said: "Although Bai Juyi's poems are very good, I like Li Bai's poems more. Bai Juyi's collection of poems has been given to the emperor. This collection of poems for Li Bai is for you."
"Why?" Izumi Shibu felt that the collection of poems in his hand was a bit hot and was quite flattered.
Pei Ziyun smiled and said, "I will enter the palace tonight, so this is considered as accommodation costs."
I wanted to refuse, but Yamada spoke frankly. Kazuizumi Shibu stared at the poetry collection in her hand for a while, and couldn't help but open it and read it.
Li Bai, Li Taibai?
As a result, I opened a poem and was attracted.
While reading, Pei Ziyun suddenly asked, "Shibu, do you know why Taibai's poem is not as good as the Right Pushe (Bai Juyi) in Japan?"
Izumi Shibu thought about it and wanted to answer that it was because the poem was good, but I just read Li Taibai's poem, which was also romantic and wonderful, which made her unable to put it down.
It was one of the rare talented women in this era. Izumi Shibu thought about it and said his answer: "Because he is the right pushe?"
"That's right." Pei Ziyun smiled, looking at Waizumi Shibu with a little admiration.
As the Hokuto Shibu said, the Japanese nobles praised Bai Juyi's poems more because Bai Juyi's status was higher. At that time, Bai Juyi was granted the title of Marquis of Fengyi County, with a fief of thousands of households. He retired as the Minister of Justice (the third rank) and was awarded the title of the Secretary of Shangshu Youpushe (the second rank), while Li Bai was just a ronin.
It was not completely snobbish, but to study in the Tang Dynasty in Japan, so naturally I had to learn from *** Bai Juyi was at the time, and he was obviously even more authoritative.
It is rare for Izumi Shibu to think of this.
But there is no banquet that will last forever. The two collections of poems I compiled by myself are more than enough for food and accommodation. I bowed and said, "I'll go back first. When I part, I don't have to send them off."
I was about to turn around and suddenly looked back and asked, "I heard that the princess, who is respected, died of sadness today?"
