Get rid of the crumb boss and go back to your hometown to get married

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" It's only been a day since the summer festival, and I can't wait to see her. It's true that I can't see her every day.

The Qinglang boy stepped up the mountain road and stood beside her before making a sound. Ah Xun raised his head and smiled at him following the pale golden sunlight: "No," as he spoke, his voice became softer, and he almost only made a mouthful: "Mrs. stand up."

Every morning, I would "encounter" outside the gate of the shrine, as if the old acquaintances who had missed it for several years were reunited again, and even before noon, I couldn't help but look forward to the next morning.

The morning breeze blew her wide pink sleeves, like a butterfly spreading its wings in the mountains gently brushing past people's hearts, and then flying over the flowers to the unreachable blue sky.

"You..." The two spoke at the same time, and Kaoru pursed her lips and smiled, waiting for him to speak first.

I saw the young man in the green shirt go back and dig into his sleeve for a while, and took out a very thin silver chain, in the middle of which the craftsman took a bright red bean and embedded it, it was very delicate.

"This is for you. I saw it by chance on the way back from receiving my wages yesterday." For no reason, at first glance, I felt that this chain fit her a little too slender wrist, and the red bean inlaid in the middle of the chain was beyond words. Euphemistic confession.

Red beans are born in southern China, and a few branches are born in spring.May you pick more, this thing is the most lovesick.

What kind of beautiful thoughts did Tang poets have to write such meaningful poems?The young man couldn't help being flustered at the moment, and it was rare for Meng Lang to reach out to her: "Let me put it on for you, okay?"

Kaoru readily stretched out her wrist, and looked at him frankly as her eyes shifted: "What do you want to say to me through this?"

Although it is okay to understand, after all, there is no words to move people's hearts.

He was fastening the links at both ends of the chain, and his hands trembled when he heard her ask this question, and his calloused finger edges brushed against the looming veins on her wrist, as if gently wiping away the floating ash on her heart, softening her heart from the bottom of her heart. into a pond full of ripples.

The first chirping of cicadas resounded in the forest, and the rustling mountain wind pushed her towards him, and the delicate pink and dark green fell on the side of the plane tree in front of the courtyard like a winding peach.

He still couldn't say that sentence, he thought that maybe he should show a more calm, reliable, mature and responsible attitude-it's better to meet Baishou than to be charming, he doesn't say those beautiful words to make girls happy, he can only do everything for her can do.

"I am the youngest son of Fukuzawa Hyakusuke, a feudal vassal. My father worked as an accountant for the feudal lord in Kurayashiki, Osaka Prefecture. Because he admired the civilization of the upper kingdom, he liked to collect edicts. I happened to get a volume of ninety volumes on the day I was born. Overjoyed, he gave me the name Yukichi...how about you?"

This is……?

Kaoru blinked, suddenly understood something, and lowered her head with a blushing face: "I am the daughter of the Saito family, a low-ranking vassal. After the death of my parents, I was adopted by my father's former friend, Mr. Kondo. My parents gave me the name 'Xun' when they were alive."

——If you change your name and family background, you won't be able to figure out which way the door of the father-in-law's house opens when you come to ask for marriage in the future.

When you see her, you can't help planning the future, and as people say, "the rain is in the eyes, the umbrella is in the heart", as a man, he should be conscious.For a moment, he also thought that there might be a ten-thousandth possibility that she would be a young lady that his family could not afford to marry. He was afraid of embarrassing his mother. Forced to let her down due to the situation of the world.

As for the others, then think of a way!

He lowered his head and continued to fasten the links on the silver chain for her, stumbling and finally connecting the two links the size of rice grains together.Looking up is her blushing forehead, the fluffy forehead covers her eyebrows and eyes, and only the small shadows left by eyelashes trembling slightly under the eye sockets can be seen.

The frankincense, which is so light that it can hardly be smelled, invades the nose. This is a kind of precious plant spice, which calms the nerves and activates the blood, also known as "Xunlu".

If the Saitos were still alive, it would not be surprising that Kaoru used this spice as the eldest lady of the samurai family, but it was not something she could afford right now.Master Fuze didn't think about it that much at all. It is considered sensible to be able to barely do something rude at the moment, and there is almost no such thing as IQ.

"Are you injured?" This precious spice, which was introduced from the Tang Dynasty in the Edo period, is also a kind of medicinal material, which can treat mental instability and bruises, and is a good medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis.The master of the dojo treasured a piece of uncut frankincense and carried it with him, the smell is very familiar to him.

The boy frowned and grabbed her wrist and approached, trying to find out where the bruise was——

Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't think too much about it, Kaoru is a girl, what does the knife wound have to do with her?Most likely, she accidentally twisted her hands and feet while doing things. Seeing that she was moving normally, it was probably on her arms.As soon as he raised half of the sleeve, Ah Xun stomped his feet and pushed him back. The girl rolled her eyes in shame and anger: "I want you to care! I'm fine!"

The fist was as soft as a kitten's outstretched paw.

"?" He stopped his movements and looked at her in disapproval, how could he keep his illness under wraps?

Kaoru refused to give in, and looked up and stared at him.In an instant, the boy opened his eyes wide as if he had thought of something and took a half step back, let go of his hand suddenly, his cheeks, ears, and neck became more and more red, and finally even beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

——Well, frankincense regulates qi and activates blood, relieves pain, and chases poison.Cure qi and blood stagnation, pain in trusted subordinates, carbuncle sores, bruises, dysmenorrhea, postpartum blood stasis and tingling... So girls are likely to use this herb even if they are not injured.

Reading too much and knowing too much is sometimes not a good thing.

Kaoru didn't know where his brain was going, but when he saw this person who was so embarrassed that he was almost at the same level, he also bowed his head and remained silent - just, let's put this topic aside first anyway?

Master Fukuzawa had the same idea as her, so they just stood at the gate of the shrine without looking at each other.

At this time, the wife of the God Lord came to open the door, and she pulled the slightly faded orange-red wooden door inward, and saw two young people outside, standing with their heads lowered and punished on the left and right sides of the gate.She looked left and right, but she didn't understand what the two of them were doing.

"Ah Kaoru, Master Fukuzawa. Are you here so early?"

The offerings, visits, prayers, and sacrifices are still the same as in the past. The one who leaves the shrine first will always sit in the thatched pavilion halfway up the mountain and the one behind.

The day before yesterday, Fukuzawa Yukichi said that today he wanted to watch Kaoru write Chinese characters. Today, he opened the book without any moisture and read a sentence to watch her write a sentence on the sand. He recited the warm, thrilling or lingering words in "The Tale of Bamboo Crawl" without any ups and downs, making people want to laugh inexplicably.

"The smoke from the top of this mountain is still rising into the clouds, into the world of the moon."

He didn't read fast, she was shaking with laughter while trying to hold back the writing as straight as possible, and nodded after the last sentence was finished and the young man checked it carefully: "Even if you have finished learning this book, you can write pseudonyms, and you can write Chinese characters as well." Can write, very good. Remember to write better next time, don’t want to be famous and get married, first focus on horizontality and verticality.”

Kaoru: "..."

Not angry not angry.

"okay……"

Another girl who was more emotionally sensitive would have to be so angry that she would have dumped him on the spot.

Master Fuze didn't seem to realize it: "I tidied up my study at home yesterday morning, and found a lot of my childhood enlightenment books. The classics and history collections are too difficult, so I found a few thinner travel notes, strange stories, poems, etc. You already know the pseudonyms and Chinese characters. , I will just read more and write more in the future. I will bring you a book tomorrow, just sit here and read it, and ask me if you don’t understand.”

Kaoru: "..."

I wonder if you forgot to do your homework in the private school, and you are in a hurry to send me off so that you can finish the homework and go back to prevaricate your husband.

"Aji, you come to the shrine in the morning and the dojo in the afternoon. When did you meet Mr. Private School?" She couldn't help asking the question in a tactful way, and the boy slowly blinked his eyes and replied: "I'm not here I study in a private school in the town, and my husband is in the prefectural city of Osaka, so I can bring my homework and go there once a month, and if I go too much, my husband won’t have time to take care of me.”

Including familiar classmates and friends, they are all there.

"Then... is there any homework? Have you finished your homework?"

Unknowingly, the girl who questioned her soul had pure eyes, and the boy suddenly turned to look at her and nodded in horror: "I finished writing, and I will read at home at night. Mr. Fucheng's lectures are not fast, so you can understand after reading it."

Mrs. Fuze never asked her son if he had finished his books and finished his homework. This was the first time Master Fuze had been asked such a question.

After hearing what he said, Ah Xun felt relieved: "That's great, I'm afraid it will delay your business, so it's fine if you don't."

"There is no delay, you are on business." He put away the still brand new "Bamboo Tori Monogatari".Ah Xun noticed that the cover of the book was still crisp and clean, the same as when he first bought it that day, so he knew that he cherished books very much and worked hard, so she thought she was well educated, so she didn't need to worry about it.

"A letter from a friend of my father's before his death said that there was a great sage traveling west from Tokyo to accept disciples. The master of the dojo also mentioned this matter. If Mr. Natsume still does not change his mind when he arrives in Fucheng, I plan to visit him in Osaka. If it can be included in the door wall, it will probably go to the Kanto with my husband in the future, are you...willing to go there with me?"

He lowered his head, afraid that she would directly paste the rejection on his face.Even though she knew that she was a very reasonable and good girl, she was still uneasy when it came to the long-planned future.

"It will be hard at first, maybe it will continue for a while, but I think I will find a suitable job soon, and try not to let you live in embarrassment for too long. If you can, you want to go to Tokyo Prefecture Whether you go to a women's college or see new things, you can do whatever you want."

Ah Xun listened quietly and earnestly to what he said slowly, with a little melancholy that didn't match her age, and this melancholy dissipated quickly before being discovered.

She didn't interrupt his already trembling voice—

"I'm not interesting. I'm old-fashioned and boring. I'm not good-looking. I'm not very smart. The only thing worth mentioning is that I'm healthy. I have a mother, elder brother, and sisters in my family. The eldest sister is married. , and the youngest sister stays at home, if you don't mind these things, please come to my house and stay by my side."
