The name Japanese Zheng is actually a little inappropriate, to be precise, this is the thirteen-stringed Zheng of the Tang Dynasty after it was introduced to Japan, and gradually evolved into a musical instrument, from the root speaking, it should be "Tang Zheng", not "Japanese Zheng".

The biggest difference between the Japanese zither and the modern Chinese zither is that the mainstream zither has 21 strings, while the Japanese zither continues the 13 strings of the Tang zither.

Guzheng is not a stranger to Ye Zhao, or very familiar, but this is the first time he has seen this kind of thirteen-stringed zheng. So, despite repeated confirmations, he hesitated to ask the question.

Fuji Ayako raised her head, glanced at the Japanese koto lying quietly in the closet, and let out a soft "um". Ye Zhao didn't notice that her mood was not too high, and asked with interest, "Does Caizi-san still play the kite?"

"It's a relic of Sachiko's father, and I don't know how to play a kite. Fuji Ayako explained in a flat tone, "When I got divorced, he left that one and said, 'Leave it to Sachiko as a memorial.'" Speaking of this, she paused slightly, "It's just that Sachiko has no interest in learning the kite at all, so she has to put it away." ”

Some unexpected answers made Ye Zhao not know how to answer for a while. After a while, he hesitated and asked, "What kind of person is that?"

He only knew from those small words of gossip that her ex-husband was two years older than her and married her when she was twenty, but divorced at the same time as Sachiko's birth, and chose to end his life on his own in the new year.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't ask such a question, this failed marriage is undoubtedly a scar for Fuji Ayako. However, deep in his heart, he was still full of curiosity about this man who appeared in her life early and left in such a way.

Instead of answering immediately, Fuji Ayako opened the box of the kimono and stretched out her fingers to gently touch the fabric. Ye Zhao intuitively felt that this silence was not because he asked an inappropriate question, so he just waited quietly.

Finally, she slowly spoke, "Nippon plays the koto very well, and I know the shamisen and shakuhachi, so I don't like to talk much." ”

In this way, he is a master of musical instruments. Ye Zhao imagined in his heart the image of a young man who was sven and showed off. After thinking about it, he said painlessly: "It must be a good person." ”

After saying that, I felt that something was wrong, and I felt that these words seemed to accuse Fuji Ayako of hurting the other party.

"He is indeed a very gentle person. Even when he was angry, he refused to lose his temper, but silently hid and wiped the instrument alone. Fuji Ayako thought for a moment, "...... Gentleness is too much. ”

That's right. Although gentleness is a good quality, if it is too gentle, it is a disadvantage.

Moreover, it is better for two people to quarrel and then reconcile warmly than to hide and sulk and throw the other person aside, which is more humane.

When a person is arguing, he hides to the side, this behavior seems "generous", but in another sense, why not "abandon" the other party.

"However," Ye Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I think that there are similar things in Caizi-san's character. ”

"Something like that?"

Ye Zhao let out a "hmm", thinking to himself, although that kind of thing is similar to gentleness, it is by no means too gentle, and it is even better to say that it is an alternative kind of coldness.

Not wanting to say this, he changed the subject to another place: "Ayako-san was just twenty years old when she got married?"

"Almost twenty years old. ”

"That's about the same age as when I met Ayako-san. ”

Fuji Ayako smiled, "Yes, almost." ”

"However, if you were another artist, on the eve of your debut, you wouldn't choose to get married, right? ”

"Because I really liked him at that time, I thought that if I could live with him, even if I couldn't be a singer, it would be okay to stay in Akita as a housewife, take care of children, and gossip with the wives of the neighbors. ”

Fifteen years have passed, no matter what her attitude was in the face of those things at the beginning, but now, when it comes to her ex-husband, Fuji Ayako has calmly looked like she is reading an old book.

"But it soon became clear that it didn't work?"

Fuji Ayako just smiled faintly and didn't answer, which was completely different from the refreshing attitude just now. Ye Zhao didn't care about this detail, and said with emotion: "Actually, if you think about it a little, I envy him a little. ”

"Envy?"

"Yes, you weren't even twenty years old when he met you. …… What kind of person was Ayako-san at the age of eighteen? Thinking like this, I was not only envious, but even a little jealous. Ye Zhao said half-jokingly.

"I'm eighteen years old, just a rustic country girl. If Ye Jun saw me at that time, he would probably be disappointed. ”

"Maybe that's the case. Ye Zhao said, "Therefore, envy is envy, and the idea of wanting to meet eighteen-year-old Cai Zi-san is completely unnecessary." An unrealizable fantasy is superfluous, and second, the status quo is already very good at this moment, no more, no less. ”

"yes. ”

Fuji Ayako replied, took the kimono out of the box, and looked at it carefully as if she wanted to observe the weave of the cloth.

In order to set off to see the snow the next day, before going to bed, Ayako Fuji set the alarm clock to six o'clock.

Breakfast is prepared by Fuji Ayako, tofu miso soup, grilled mackerel with just the right amount of grilled, fairly light vegetable stew, and vinegared cucumber slices, and a traditional Japanese breakfast. It takes a lot of effort to prepare these things, although Ye Zhao thinks that it is okay to eat some casually, she is unexpectedly not afraid of trouble.

After breakfast and tidying up the table, Ayako Fuji went upstairs to change her kimono.

"Anyway, can I drive in a kimono?" It was only then that Ye Zhao thought of this.

Fuji Ayako told him "yes" and asked, "Ye Jun doesn't have a driver's license?"

"Nope. Ye Zhao replied, "Although I also thought that I should go to the driving school for two weeks, I have not been free." ”

Fuji Ayako changed into a kimono, "Is it okay?"

"It's pretty good, and the color is also very colorful. Ye Zhao looked at her and praised.

Downstairs, Fuji Ayako was a little inconvenient to wear a kimono, and in front of the entrance, Ye Zhao squatted down to put on her shoes. In modern times, when wearing a kimono, the combination of clothes is no longer limited to sandals or boots, but changes according to the occasion.

"That's it. Ye Zhao stood up and clapped his hands, looking like he was done.

"Thank you. Fuji Caizi thanked him, and then teased: "Surprisingly honest, Ye Jun." 2k reading network
