Chapter 11: A handicraft called Penglai Jade Branch
(Early in the morning, the code word has to be urged by the book friends of other book friend groups, this day is really sad)
There was a tinkling sound from the dimly lit hut......
A craftsman named Iroha holds up a jade stone in his hand that is shaped like a tree branch and has a crystal clear appearance. Under the faint light, the jade stone already radiated a dazzling brilliance, illuminating the entire room for a while.
It was clearly evening, but it was like daylight in the house.
The six craftsmen present had excited faces on their faces, and they all looked at each other and nodded in satisfaction.
This treasure can be described as their pinnacle, and it will be difficult to make anything comparable to it in the future. Even if it's the real Penglai jade branch in the fairy island, that's probably it.
It took a year and a lot of manpower and material resources to create it that can almost be fake.
β¦β¦ Yes, what they are holding is not a real Penglai jade branch, but a fake made by themselves, no matter how gorgeous and expensive this thing is, it can't hide the fact that it is a fake after all.
It appears with the color of deception, and thus stains it with uncleanness......
"This time, Fujiwara is not better than waiting, and the adults will definitely reward me again."
A year's hard work was for the huge gold and silver treasures that Fujiwara had promised, and while they were celebrating with their crowns, no one noticed a young man standing among them, looking at the "Penglai Jade Branch" in their hands.
"It's a very good treasure, but it's a pity that it's flawed because of people's hearts." The young man looked at these craftsmen with a sigh, his face a little complicated, "With such a world-class talent... but burdened by mundane things...... It's a human being after all, it's a pity~"
Turning around, the figure disappeared vaguely, and the sigh of the empty beam lingered for a long time, and these six people... Unaware......
β¦β¦
"Uncle!"
While Kaguya was laughing and playing with the girl, Nidhogg, who had disappeared for half a day, was seen by the little girl and shouted loudly as soon as he appeared.
"Girl......" Nidhogg pulled out a smile, looking at the sixteen-year-old girl in front of him, and a voice inevitably appeared in his heart.
Is it really right to do it yourself? watched her father's demise coldly, and pushed it by the way......
"What's wrong?"
Kaguya asked with a smile.
Opposite his gaze, Nidhogg dispelled the confusion.
That's it.,What should come will always come.,Even if you don't interfere.,Fujiwara Bubi and the destruction of the Fujiwara family are doomed.,All you can do is change the trajectory of this girl's fate......
Thinking of this, Nidhogg rubbed the girl's head.
"Uncle and Kaguya have something to say, you avoid it first, don't eavesdrop."
"Oh." The girl obediently walked out of the yard.
"Sister Fujiwara still listens to you more, if it's a concubine, she may hesitate for a while." Seeing the girl walk out of the courtyard, Kaguya spoke, with some meaning.
"It's just the majesty of the elders...", Nidhogg took a sip when he saw the three cups of tea in the saucer.
"Elders?" Kaguyahime wanted to hear some joke and giggled, "Forget it, there's no need for the concubine to help that kid like this." Say, what needs to be done to break her up? It's not going to be a confession, is it? β
"Poof..."
Even Nidhogg, who was in calm mode, didn't expect the other party to say such a sentence, and the tea that had not yet been swallowed faithfully obeyed the master's mood and sprayed to the ground...
"Don't mess around." Nidhogg wiped his mouth with a cold face.
"I didn't...", whispered a few words, and Kaguyahime's face became serious for the next moment, "Say, what's the matter?" β
"Fujiwara is not made of imitation Penglai jade branches."
"What?!" Kaguya looked at Nidhogg in astonishment, and when he saw that the latter was not joking, he finally became a little anxious.
"It's not a big deal, Fujiwara doesn't know more than waiting for this person these days. In order to hide the secret, those craftsmen will die, and if they are rescued, everything will go according to my plan. But in this case, Fujiwara will not be ruined, and the Fujiwara family will also be ruined..."Nidhogg said with a flat face that would destroy a family, "But even if we don't do this, when Yayi Yonglin comes, the ending will not be much better." β
"That's the same," Kaguya had long been accustomed to this guy's vast intelligence network, and also calmed down, "But what about Fujiwara's sister?" β
"That's what I'm struggling with," Niederhogg said with a rare look of lack of confidence, "I can only act when I have the opportunity..."
"By the way, when will your teacher come to you?"
"The concubine doesn't know, it should be just a few days.
"Anyway, you go back to the bamboo house first, Fujiwara Bubi will come to ask for marriage soon, and I'll handle the craftsman's affairs."
"Aren't you invisible?" Kaguya was a little confused.
In this year, she has seen the eccentricity of this guy. I can eat, I can jump, I can sweep the snow, I can write... But he can't be seen by anyone other than her and Fujiwara's sister, not even contact, as long as it's a living thing, he can't touch him, and he can't touch other living things. The two don't seem to be in the same dimension, with the exception of her and Fujiwara sister...
"You don't have to do it." Nidhogg picked up a stone and threw it at the innocent dragonfly, but the poor dragonfly could not escape the near-sonic speed of the stone, and the body that was directly beaten could not be found.
"......" Kaguya was speechless.
"But are you willing to be the motivation of the girl? Even if you want to be hated......" Nidhogg's tone was very low.
Kaguya was stunned when she heard this, and replied with a smile, "It's good to survive."
"It seems that your relationship is better than I expected." Nidhogg was thoughtful when he got the answer.
"What's wrong? Jealous? I can add you one~ My little sister will be very happy too~"
Faced with Kaguyahime's teasing, the young man just turned his head indifferently and said coldly, "Go back to your bamboo house, I'll go guard the craftsman." β
"Nidhogg."
"Huh?" The young man turned his head lightly and uttered a nasal voice of confusion.
"The lifelong event of the concubine is entrusted to you~" Kaguya playfully waved his fist.
"......" Nidhogg turned to leave.
"Ah, it's not cute." took out a bead from his arms, looked at the faint word [love] on the slightly shiny orb, and smiled proudly, "Hmph, the charm of the concubine body has not weakened, but unfortunately there is not enough time, this is just a good feeling at best." β
ββββββββββββββββββ you two...... Seriouslyββββββββββββββ
On the third day, the girl sat alone in the courtyard.
My father went to ask Kaguya's sister for a kiss.
When she heard the news from the maid in the morning, she was stunned. Because even though Kaguya and Nidhogg hadn't told her about the marriage, she knew that her father would never succeed.
Kaguya's sister reunited with her grandfather at the bamboo house in the bamboo forest yesterday, and the news that she accompanied her father on a trip this morning, and her uncle disappeared. The girl immediately thought that he must be at Kaguya's sister, even though she had never understood the relationship between the two.
What is the relationship between uncle and sister?
Lover? It doesn't look like much.
Friend? But I feel a little bit over......
My father can't compete with my uncle, so what should I do?
Even at the age of sixteen, the simple-minded girl didn't think about the meaning of 'disaster' in Nidhogg's words, she just instinctively worried, and ran out of the door.
On the other side, in the bamboo house that occupies a large area......
As the girl thought, Nidhogg was indeed here in Kaguya, and it was the other's boudoir.
Nidhogg's serious state is that of a black king who is disgusted with humans, and he will not care about the moral laws of humans unless he needs to. So in the case that Kaguya has no opinion, he won't feel that there is anything wrong. In fact, nothing happened, and both people in the room were serious.
"Fujiwara is already on the way." Nidhogg, who had just returned, said lightly.
"The craftsman's business is settled?" Kaguya was biting her hair and fixing her hairstyle, and Nidhogg was puzzled and didn't help.
"In order not to arouse suspicion, it took me a lot of effort to hide the Fujiwara family's shadow guard, but it was completed."
"Where's the little sister?"
ββ¦β¦ At home, this time we should start rushing here," Nied Hogg was silent for a moment when Kaguya mentioned the little girl.
"The only thing I'm not sure about right now is your teacher."
"yes." After finishing up, Kagya looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and suddenly turned his head and asked the young man who had been cold-faced, "Am I beautiful?" β
"Beauty." No hesitation in compliments, but no emotional fluctuations.
However, Nidhogg, who answered with one word, dropped the sentence "I'll wait in the living room and wait", and then disappeared.
ββββββββββββββ perspective shifted to Fujiwara no equalββββββββββββββββββ
Arriving at the edge of the bamboo forest, in order to express his sincerity, Fujiwara Fubi and others got off the carriage and chose to walk. But in reality, he doesn't have the ability to make the carriage go that kind of gravel road, right?
However, in the eyes of Taketori, this is a good indication of Fujiwara's sincerity. After all, there was a precedent comparison of caryophyllum teasing horses galloping before, which was even more unequally stable.
"Fujiwara-sama, have you prepared the treasure that the little girl requested?" Although he knew that Fujiwara was naturally prepared since he was here, the old man still cautiously confirmed.
"That's nature, please lead the way." He instructed his entourage to bring over the exquisite box that had been prepared, and walked towards the inner courtyard under the guidance of the old man.
