Chapter Forty-Three: A Thousand Calls Begin to Emerge

Oda Katsucho walked in front excitedly, and under the leadership of several maids, he entered the backyard, followed by Long Shaocong, Aoki Saemon, and Iida Morin. Of course, it is indispensable to pay for silver, but when you meet the rich son of Aoki Saemon, you don't need outsiders to worry about money.

When I arrived at the center of the courtyard, I saw two rows of small wooden tables, equipped with delicate futons, and the four of them sat down in turn, and there were already maids who put fruits, side dishes, and sake, but this time there was no bewitching woman to accompany them.

At this time, the night has opened, the clouds are light and the wind is light, the bright moon is hanging high, the silver light is sprinkled, the strange flowers and plants in the courtyard are contrasting with each other, and there is the sound of drums and kites, faintly coming, the flirtatious human ape is eager to have a strange scene to appear, to soothe the restlessness in the heart.

Just now, listening to Aoki Saemon and Iida Moriichi introduce several types of fireworks women one by one, it really opened the eyes of Oda Katsudai, and from their mouths, they actually said that a hundred flowers are gorgeous, and under the wind and moon, it is better to see the light face of the pothos with his own eyes, and he was really deeply appetized.

I wanted to ask in detail, but when I heard a greeting, everyone stood up and hurried straight to the backyard.

But now, I found that in addition to the bright moon and the elegant courtyard, even a woman can't be seen, do you want everyone to sit here and enjoy the moon?

The young man was impetuous, and after sitting for a while, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Look at the pothos, lightly, this is the main event, and it doesn't mean that you can see it every day, but also depends on the temper of the young lady." Because Aoki Saemon came for the first time today, he didn't answer, but Iida Sheng next to him looked like an experienced man and talked eloquently, in fact, he only patronized a few times, and he only heard the name of pothos and light pull, but he had never seen it.

At this time, I saw several maids rushing in, spreading a wide red carpet in the center of the courtyard, and someone behind them sprinkled pink cherry blossoms, and under the soft moonlight, the cherry blossoms fell one by one, and suddenly the whole courtyard was fragrant......

When Oda Katsucho saw such a scene, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, he saw that everyone was stretching their necks, looking at each other, looking extremely hungry, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of woman would be so pompous, and let these men sit here willingly and wait." ”

"It's not one person, it's two, pothos and light pull are a pair of sisters. The pothos likes to wear a green dress, with long sleeves and good dancing, and her demeanor is outstanding; Qinglian is always dressed in white, and the sword dance is light and agile, cold as frost. ”

Hearing this, Long Shaocong on the side couldn't help but interject: "Why is this name so weird, it doesn't sound like a Japanese name." ”

"These two sisters are from Shikoku Island, and I heard that Green Pothos and Light Bang are stage names, but no one knows their real names." Aoki Saemon still didn't hold back, and took the opportunity to show off for a while.

"What is a ferryman?"

As soon as these words came out, Oda Katsunaga, Aoki Saemon, and Iida Sheng all looked at Long Shaocong with surprised eyes, as if they were looking at an idiot.

Long Shaocong obviously read the flavor of "everyone on the earth knows, but you don't know" on their faces, but he still looked back at the three of them expressionlessly, putting on a fearless posture that Lao Tzu is shallow and can do anything about it.

Oda Katsucho was the first to be defeated, pulled Long Shaocong's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you even know this, the people who crossed the river are the descendants of the Qin people." ”

"Oh......" Long Shaocong looked suddenly enlightened and said, "It turns out to be Xu Fu's descendant." ”

The three of them were startled again, showing an expression of "how would you know".

Long Shaocong also replied to the three of them with idiot eyes, and said in his heart The story of Xu Fu entering the sea to ask for immortal medicine, Lao Tzu knows better than you, and now it is finally my turn to show off for a while,

I saw that he drank a glass of sake unhurriedly, waved the folding fan, and Lang Lang said: "If you want to say that Xu Fu crossed to Japan, it can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period...... Then practice the city, because the river is the pool, according to the city of hundreds of millions of zhang, the abyss of the unpredictable, to be solid. The good generals are guarding the key places, and the believers are the best soldiers Chen Libing and who ......"

Just when Long Shaocong was gushing endlessly and spitting at the stars, he occasionally peeked and found that the three people were looking at him in confusion, and he was shocked, so he slowly came back to his senses, he behaved too much, and accidentally memorized Jia Yi's "On the Passage of Qin" to a large paragraph.

So he smiled, apologized slightly, and continued: "I am making a foreshadowing for you in advance, to put it simply, Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six countries is a thousand years of merit, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an emperor through the ages. But when people's hearts were greedy and they were not satisfied, he felt that he had established immortal merits, and he began to seek the path of longevity. So he visited all the mountains and rivers, just to get the elixir of life. ”

And among them, there is a monk named Xu Fu, the book said that there are Penglai, abbot, Yingzhou three immortal mountains in the sea, there are immortals to live, with the consent of Qin Shi Huang, he led thousands of boys and girls, as well as hundreds of grains, poems, books and etiquette to sail out to sea, and finally arrived in Japan, and settled here, and never returned to his hometown. Therefore, since this person is a remnant of Great Qin, then there is no doubt that Xu Fu is in the lineage. ”

After hearing this, the three of them all nodded yes, and Iida Sheng said: "Brother Shao Cheng is really erudite, and he lives in Kyoto for a long time, and every year the emperor and important ministers will choose an auspicious day to worship Xu Fu's ancestors. ”

Long Shaocong was silent on the surface, but thinking of the accumulated crimes of Japan's invasion of China in later generations, he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart: Your grandmother is an ancestor, you worship your ancestors on the one hand, and beat your ancestors on the other hand, you are really an unworthy descendant.

At this time, Oda Katsucho said: "I have seen in some classics, saying that during the period of Emperor Xiaoling, Xu Fu of Qin led 3,000 boys and women to pay tribute to three tombs and five canons, and came to Japan to repair in search of immortal medicine, but the immortal medicine was not obtained, but he settled down, changed his surname, and spread his branches. ”

When Long Shaocong heard this, he replied: "Japan's lineage inheritance, since Xu Fushi, how can there be a repair of Nagong, it's just nonsense." ”

Because he went out privately, Oda Katsucho didn't care about Long Shaocong's robbery, and the relationship between the two people had already exceeded the boundary between master and servant, so he continued to defend: "Our ancestor is Emperor Jimmu, when Xu Fuxi came, he has gone through nine generations of emperors, at most he brought advanced farming technology from Middle-earth, which is very helpful to my grain cultivation in Japan, so the emperors of all dynasties have felt his favor and worshiped every year." ”

After listening to this, Long Shaocong wanted to refute it again, but after thinking about it, it was better for me not to say it, because now they also regard themselves as members of the same clan, and the more I talked, the more confused I became, so I smiled at the three of them and stopped talking.

But this sentence was deeply imprinted in Long Shaocong's heart, and when he became the hegemon of Japan in the future, he rewrote history. Of course, the current Long Shaocong still has the idea of getting by, and he doesn't have any lofty ambitions, but since fate has chosen you, how can anyone struggle and resist.

The four of them were talking, and they couldn't help but go off topic, and they had already left the pothos behind, but they forgot, but the rest of them didn't forget. At this time, I heard the noise one after another, everyone spent a lot of money in order to see the light face of the pothos, and some even lined up for a month.

But now that the money has been collected, but it is confined here to drink and enjoy the moon, if you have a little more pen and ink, take advantage of the beautiful scenery of this good night, and hold a poetry event, it is more than enough.

The four of them were disturbed by the noise of the crowd, and they also sat up straight at the same time, no longer talking to each other, only after listening to a commotion, outside the low courtyard wall, they finally remembered the sparse footsteps, judging by the sound, they knew that it was a woman, because the voice was small and the rhythm was soothing, and a man could not walk so lightly no matter what.

Sure enough, a girl dressed in a white kimono, with a moth eyebrows, a slender waist, and a jasper appearance walked in outside the moon gate, but everyone took a closer look, and they showed a disappointed look, because looking at the temperament of the dress, it was easy to judge that the person who came was undoubtedly a maidservant.

I saw this woman, holding three burning sandalwood sticks, Tingting walked to the incense burner on the east side of the courtyard, planted the sandalwood, turned around and bowed to everyone, and said in a pleasant voice: "Miss Green Pothos has an order, she is unwell today, she should breathe for a while, and after the three incense sticks are burned, she will come out to meet with everyone." ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to everyone, but moved the lotus step lightly, facing the moonlight and smooth, and retreated, with a beautiful posture, without the rouge powder of a Fengyue woman.

The people waiting here had already exploded at this time, and some shouted: Lao Tzu spends a lot of money, a laughing woman, what can he do? The other person said again: Miss Pothos is in poor health, what about Miss Qingwang? Can you come out first and meet each other to quench everyone's hunger and thirst, ah...... Ha ha......

As soon as his words fell, he heard the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air, and two sleeve arrows flew impartially, nailed to the wooden table in front of them, and the one who had spoken before was holding up his wine glass, trying to float a big white, but the sleeve arrow passed through the sleeve of his robe and nailed his arm to the table; Later, the one who spoke was not spared, and the folding fan that was gently swaying in his hand was shot through a huge hole.

The two of them were so frightened that they almost peed their pants at that time, their faces were pale, beads of sweat were flowing from their heads, and their lips were rhythmically rattled a few times, but they didn't make a sound at all.

When everyone saw it, no one dared to say anything, and the scene was suddenly silent, and the four of Long Shaocong also looked at each other, and the topic of Xu Fu Dongdu and Japanese ancestors was no longer discussed.

A few people felt that the situation was not good, and secretly thought that this was a merry and happy, it was simply a crazy and happy, and if it was not good, someone would die, so they secretly stood up, slipped out the front door, went to the counter to get their money back, turned around and ran.

And Sang, the mother of the fragrant tea house, did not stop her, she wanted to go casually, and she returned the original amount of money, but she didn't say a word from beginning to end, looking at these prostitutes with a smile, and she was full of foreign appearances here.

The rest of the people were like frosted eggplants, staring at the incense burner with both eyes, and they no longer dared to have any distracting thoughts.

When the three incense sticks were about to burn out, Oda Katsucho couldn't help it, turned his head to face Iida Sheng, who was closest to him, lowered his voice, and said, "Hey, I said, that pothos light pull is so worth seeing, everyone is waiting for them to come out here." ”

Iida Sheng closed his mouth tightly, shook his head, and pointed to the incense burner with his hand, meaning don't speak, the incense will be burned out soon.

But Oda Katsucho didn't care about this, he was in a hurry, grabbed the sleeve of Iida Sheng's robe, and said loudly: "When I asked you, you said!" ”

Iida Sheng was so frightened that his body trembled, and he just wanted to cover Oda Katsunaga's mouth, when he heard a crisp and pleasant voice shouting, "Miss Green Pothos is out......"
