"Don't think that you can just sit in front of a desk and change the "Kana Directory" out of thin air. Go out for a walk, go out and have a look, and learn more about the situation. Only then can you know what kind of laws can better adapt to the territory and the territory.
Lead the people."
Keeping "Yukizai's teachings" in his mind, Imagawa Yoshimoto left the Imagawa Hall alone, planning to pay a private visit incognito - the first thing he did was to go sightseeing first. Please, I have been working for so many days, can I
Why don’t you take a break for yourself and take a good look at the mountains and rivers?
Imagawa Yoshimoto glanced at the mountains and forests to the north of Imagawa Hall and couldn't help but frowned.
Ever since he came to Imagawakan, he has always felt that the maple groves and mountains in the north of Imagawakan are very beautiful, especially in the autumn when the maple leaves turn red. However, it has also been since Imagawa Yoshimoto met the woman named Shimoye in the Kitayama maple grove.
, he has never been to the maple forest a few times when the maple leaves are red - because he knows that frost leaves will definitely be waiting for him in the forest. They have agreed that every year when the maple leaves are red, he will go back to the maple forest to find frost.
Ye, chat with her about Japanese songs and haiku.
Imagawa Yoshimoto had trouble with this infatuated woman more than once - he obviously had no experience with her, but just by reciting poems correctly for a day, he could make a woman so emotional that she would fall in love with her year after year.
Are you unwilling to get married while waiting in the maple forest? However, he has no choice but to go to the appointment - which always makes him feel guilty about having secret meetings with other women behind his wife's back. Moreover, he also
He was worried that his frequent appointments would attract the suspicion of an unmarried woman, which would give her hope and make her reluctant to get married - she must be around 23 already.
I remember that when we met last year, Imagawa Yoshimoto had a showdown with Shuangye because of this reason. The two of them also agreed that after Shuangye got married and had children, Imagawa Yoshimoto would be willing to meet Shuangye as usual - otherwise Imagawa Yoshimoto
Worried that the frost leaves will drag on indefinitely. After all, when Imagawa Yoshimoto was in extreme grief, Imagawa Yoshimoto was the friend who accompanied her by reciting poems to relieve her emotions. Imagawa Yoshimoto still did not want her life to end in tragedy.
But it’s only June now, and it’s still early for the maples to turn red. It’s still relatively safe to go and have a look in my beloved mountain forest now. With this thought, Imagawa Yoshimoto rode into the maple forest of Kitayama.
I almost regretted it - I didn't expect that even in the hot summer, the figure of Frosty Leaves would still be waiting under the maple tree, waiting for the person who only comes once a year.
"Miss Shimoye." He had already met her head-on, and there was no reason to avoid her. Imagawa Yoshimoto had no choice but to stand up and dismount, and stepped forward to say hello.
"Your Highness, why is summer here?" Shuangye glanced at the still green leaves, but he was not very happy, but rather uneasy and said, "Isn't this the only meeting this year? Your Highness will meet again in the autumn.
Come?"
"I'm just passing by. Autumn will definitely come as promised." Seeing Shuangye speaking so humblely, Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't bear it, so he agreed, "Miss, don't worry."
"That's good." Shuangye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, muttering to himself something like "it won't work today".
"Miss, what's going on today?"
"Well..." Shuangye hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say.
"Speaking of which, Miss, has she gotten married in the past year?" Imagawa Yoshimoto mistakenly thought that Shuangye had a husband, so it was inconvenient to stay outside for a long time, so he asked.
"Without a husband, autumn will disappear... Is this what Your Highness means?" Shuang Ye's mood instantly dropped.
"Didn't I agree before that the young lady should get married and have children early, otherwise I always feel that I am delaying the young lady." Seeing Shuangye's tone was so bad, Imagawa Yoshimoto felt a little embarrassed. But he felt that saying nice things at this time would
Giving Shuangye some unrealistic hopes would only hurt her, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If the young lady insists on refusing to marry, then this autumn's meeting will be the last time."
Shuangye fell into silence, and after a while he spoke with some difficulty:
"Okay...then come back in 10 days. We'll stay here. The little lady will take you to meet my husband."
"Congratulations on your wedding, Miss." Imagawa Yoshimoto was stunned for a moment before realizing what Shuangye was talking about, and smiled with relief, "I was so abrupt earlier, I'm really sorry!"
"Then I'll say goodbye." Shuangye looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto's smile, but felt uncomfortable in her heart. She left the last words and left without looking back.
On June 20, the twelfth year of Tenmon (1543), Imagawa Yoshimoto came as promised. To be honest, going with a married woman to meet her husband - it was not etiquette in any way. But the more Imagawa Yoshimoto thought about it, the more he thought about it.
Suspecting that Shuangye was not married at all, he just used an excuse to lie to her, so he decided to go and have a look. Besides, he had never had anything frivolous with Shuangye. A gentleman is open-minded, and it is okay to meet other people's husbands.
When he met Shuangye, Imagawa Yoshimoto was a little surprised—she, who always met her without makeup, rarely put on light makeup—why? In order to cover up the embarrassment, Imagawa Yoshimoto took the initiative and asked:
"Where is the lady's residence?"
"The cabin in the back mountain." Shuangye pointed to the green hills behind the maple forest in the distance.
"Wouldn't it be inconvenient to live in such a remote place?" Imagawa Yoshimoto followed Shuangye all the way to the depths of the mountains and couldn't help but complain.
"Apart from two meals a day and a few volumes of reading, this little girl doesn't have any living needs, so it won't be inconvenient." Shuangye shook his head nonchalantly, then said with a wry smile: "And in this world, living here is safer.
"
"Is the public security in Suruga so bad?" Imagawa Yoshimoto obviously did not have the self-awareness of his identity as a "family governor". After hearing the complaints from the residents, instead of feeling ashamed, he asked with concern.
"Honestly, it's much better than other places. But even the sporadic disasters that fall on a small family can be regarded as a devastating disaster." Shuangye's voice no longer contained any emotion.
Hearing the smile, he turned rather gloomy and scary, "Of course, the big shots living in Imagawa Hall probably don't know about it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Sorry." Imagawa Yoshimoto knew that he probably touched some of Shuangye's past that he didn't want to look back on, so he apologetically reflected on his talkativeness.
"It's okay, we won't see each other again anyway, right?" Shuang Ye still looked as if nothing had happened, with a smile on his lips.
"Huh?" Imagawa Yoshimoto was stunned for a moment.
"Here we are." After rounding the last bend, Shuangye still walked to the door of the cabin and opened the door calmly, "Didn't His Highness say that if the little girl is not married, we will never see each other again?"
"No? The lady said before..." Imagawa Yoshimoto frowned, but still politely took off his shoes at the door.
"I lied to His Highness, otherwise His Highness must not be willing to come with this little girl." Shuangye stepped into the house and made a gesture to invite Imagawa Yoshimoto into the house. Imagawa Yoshimoto was a little embarrassed, and after a moment of tangle,
Feeling that it was too rude to come in without entering, he sighed and walked in.
Although the cabin is not big, it is obviously not a living space for one person. In the open closet, you can see men's clothes and three beddings. There are also men's style teapots on the table, and there are also some tea cups in the cup.
Warm tea - Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't help but wonder again - Could it be that Shuangye was actually married and was just having an awkward moment, so he deliberately told himself that he was unmarried?
"That's Jiayan's." Shuangye explained softly after noticing Imagawa Yoshimoto's gaze.
"Aren't you at home?" Imagawa Yoshimoto heard that there was no movement from anyone else in the house.
"Passed away." Shuangye replied briefly.
"I'm sorry." Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't expect this result - because the atmosphere of life in the room clearly seemed like there were frequent male activities.
"In order to prevent Your Highness from being 'sorry' again, the little girl should tell you first. Jiasi has already passed away." Shuangye's smile became even weirder.
"Please have my condolences..." Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at the layout of the house again, and a burst of sad emotions came to his heart - it seemed that the woman in front of him deliberately kept the environment at home as it was when her parents were there, in order to relieve her inner feelings.
"I'm sorry... when did it happen?"
"About 6 years ago, what happened after I first met His Highness." Shuangye sat down in front of the desk, and ignored Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was still standing at the door, and poured himself a cup of tea. "
Kayan is a ferryman from the Ming Dynasty, and Kaci is a native of Suruga. They got married by chance. Kayan is a scholar who teaches little girls to read and write. He also makes a living by writing and ink skills. 7 years ago,
In order to avoid the war between the governors of your Imagawa family, I moved to this mountain."
"Then one day, Iayan went to Imagawadate Castle Town to deliver the written documents and never came back. The little girl and Iaci looked for him like crazy, but in the end there was no news. Iaci died after being caught in the rain.
I couldn't afford to fall ill and left soon after. It was only a month and I was the only one left in the little girl's original home. The little girl could only learn a few words on her own like Jia Yan did.
I am trying to make a living in Imagawadate Castle Town, but I am often ostracized and bullied because of my status as a woman. But in this world, it is good for ordinary people to live, so how can I dare to be picky?"
Shuangye talked about her tragic past, as if telling someone else's story, her eyes were full of numbness. She paused, put down the tea cup, raised her head and looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto: "How about it, it's very pitiful, isn't it?
"
"I'm sorry to hear this." Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly felt that it was a bit too cruel to treat a poor woman so decisively before, "Why didn't you tell me when we reunited for the second time... I can help the lady a lot."
"Yes, the little girl knew that His Highness would react like this. It seemed like sympathy and pity, and he extended a helping hand to the little girl, but the little girl didn't want such a charity-like feeling." Shuangye shook his head, his eyes
The look on his face was terrifyingly cold.
"Why does Miss have to have a 'relationship' with me? We are strangers who have only met a few times, and Miss doesn't know me at all?" Imagawa Yoshimoto sighed longly.
