Chapter 117: Sugar Gourd

In a blink of an eye, summer is about to pass, and the arrival of Kaguya has changed a lot of the originally ordinary family, and since Taketori got this child, every time he goes to cut bamboo, he will find that there is a lot of gold in the bamboo tube, so the whole family has become rich at once, and then they moved, leaving the original small village and buying a house in Kyoto.

Kaguya grew up day by day under the careful care of the old woman, just like a bamboo shoot growing into a bamboo. Incredibly, after only three months, Kaguya grew from a thumbelina to a slim girl, who looked a little older than Li Si's brother, so the old woman combed her hair in a bun and put a skirt on her.

Kaguya is getting more and more beautiful day by day, and Taketori is a little worried that the world will covet her beauty, so he keeps her at home and doesn't let her go out, and he has an unusual love for her. The beauty of Kaguya fills the whole room with light, and there is no darkness in any place, and sometimes when Taketori is depressed in his heart, all the pain and troubles of Kaguya will disappear as long as he sees Kaguya, and sometimes he gets angry about something, and when he sees Kaguya, he immediately calms down.

But paper can never contain the fire, Kaguya's beauty has been spread since it was accidentally seen, ten to hundred, and it has spread farther and farther, and all men in the world, whether rich or poor, want to marry this Kaguya. They were already in a trance just when they heard the name Kaguya, and the fire of desire in their hearts was burning, hoping that even if they only saw one side, it was a pity that even the people in the neighborhood and even the people who lived next door to her house couldn't see Kaguya's face, let alone other men.

At the end of summer, the beginning of autumn is approaching, and another season has passed. Li Si sat on a bamboo couch in the corridor, holding tea in his hand and looking at the withered leaves in the courtyard in a daze.

"Is my brother thinking about the original memories again?" Kaguya walked out of the dark room, sat down elegantly against Li Temple, and said softly.

The words of admiration for Kaguya's beauty that are recited by the world are true in the eyes of Li Temple, and sometimes he, as an elder brother, will have some bad thoughts.

Sniffing the fragrance emanating from Kaguya's body, Li Si was a little self-deprecating, he could get so close to Kaguya, maybe now he was the public enemy of all men in the world.

"But after thinking about it for so long, I still don't have a clue. Sipping the tea in his hand, Li Si watched in a daze as the leaves in the courtyard fell from the branches and were sent into the blue sky by the autumn wind.

"Why bother my brother about these things, isn't my current life good in my brother's eyes?" Kaguya's inky eyes stared at Li Si.

"It's good, it's good, but I always feel that there are some things that I haven't done, and there are people waiting for me, and I'm very panicked...... Anyway, I shouldn't be sitting here looking at the fallen leaves and sighing. Li Si talked about the troubles in his heart, Kaguya always has an affinity, looking at her eyes and listening to her whispering, he will confide in her the troubles in his heart.

"If you don't know what to do, then wait with the concubine, time will solve everything. And my brother doesn't look like an ordinary person, your eyes are so beautiful. Kaguya said meaningfully, the brother in front of him was also picked up by Taketori Weng, but it was unusual, compared to her identity as the princess of the moon, the origin of Li Si seemed more mysterious to her.

"Are these eyes......" lowered his head and looked at himself reflected in the teacup, the blue and yellow eyes in the teacup were as clear and transparent as glass.

These eyes are so familiar, yet so unfamiliar......

"What about Kaguya, what is Kaguya's identity?" Li Si shook his head and decided not to think about it so much, besides, he had been thinking about it for more than a year, just like Kaguya said, some things would naturally be understood when the time came.

"A concubine is a sinner. Kaguya patted his sleeve and stood up, leaving a word softly, raising his little feet to prepare to go back to the room.

Sinners......

"Wait a minute, do you want to eat sugar gourd?" Seeing that Kaguya was about to disappear into the shadows of the corridor as he faded away, Li Si hurriedly shouted.

Kaguya can only stay at home and be a housemaid because of her beauty, she can't see the excitement of the market and can't eat the delicious food in the world, and Li Si, who feels sorry for her, will tell her stories every day, such as the annual temple fair, the shadow puppet show she sees, and so on. Sometimes, Li Temple would also go to the market to buy some snacks for her, because Kaguya seemed quite lonely.

In his opinion, perhaps Kaguya's beauty is also a sin. Beauty is what everyone chases, but beauty beyond the world is not something that ordinary people can blaspheme.

"Then the concubine will thank my brother. Kaguya turned around before the hallway turned, laughing and causing the whole world to lose color.

......

Kyoto, the center of the mainland's political and commercial development, is far more prosperous than the small villages of its past, and many passers-by greet them cordially on the streets, and although they have only been in Kyoto for two months, the Taketori family has already become famous all over the world.

"Get me two bunches of sugar gourds. ”

The seller of sugar gourds is a little girl, wearing a kimono, although some of them are tattered and washable and very clean, and the reason for the poverty of her family is that she will appear on the street early in the morning to sell sugar gourds.

"Okay, big brother, did you also buy it for Sister Kaguya today?" carefully skewered the hawthorn and poured sugar paste on it, and the little girl handed the finished sugar gourd to Li Temple.

The little girl looked at Li Si with admiration, she, like many girls, hoped that there would be a perfect husband in the future, and Li Si was the standard in their hearts. When she first saw Li Si come to sell sugar gourds, she was a little excited and a little afraid of inferiority, but after a long time, she didn't have so much thought, not because she lost her illusions, but because she felt that mortal women might not be worthy of him.

Maybe it's just his sister......

"yes, Kaguya likes to eat the sugar gourds you made. Li Si, who took the sugar gourd handed over, said with a smile, although the little girl in front of him was not very beautiful, but her smile was very innocent and there was no trace of impurities.

"I'll be happy for a long time to get Kaguya's affirmation. The little girl scratched her short hair with her little hands and laughed a little embarrassedly.

"Kaguya will be very happy, then I'll go back, thank you for the sugar gourd. ”

Li Si waved his hand after paying the money and planned to go back, otherwise Kaguya, who couldn't wait for the sugar gourd, would probably lose his temper with him for a while...... Kaguya's temper is not like a child's coquettish rolling, but ...... Anyway, it's terrifying, and Li Si, who has had an experience, shuddered a little when he remembered Kaguya's eyes at that time.

"Wait a minute, big brother, do you like Sister Kaguya?" But before Li Si could go far, the little girl's gossip voice reached Li Si's ears, making him almost fall down.

"How come, I'm his brother......" Li Si turned his head and laughed a little.

"But I think only Kaguya sister can match the big brother...... Eh, be careful. Before the little girl finished speaking, she saw a group of children running to Li Temple not far away, because of the frolic, they didn't find Li Temple standing in front of them, and rushed up directly.
