Chapter VI

I couldn't sleep at night, my heart was full of guilt, I pretended to be Sharo, and I didn't fulfill my promise to her, and after tossing and turning it many times, I still put on a single coat and went to the courtyard.

The monks in the courtyard all made rhythmically tapping stones, and the air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of grass with dew, and when I closed my eyes and took a big breath, a wisp of residual plum fragrance penetrated into my nose, this fragrance.

"Can't sleep? Sara? A low voice sounded from behind me.

I turned around, and an ice-blue figure came into view, which seemed to be my nominal brother--- Kamo Hoken. It looks like he's just returned from a lover's night trip.

"Hey, does Onmyoji also have a lover?" I couldn't help but blurt out.

He raised his eyebrows obliquely, his enchanting eyes rippled, and said, "Onmyoji is also a man, why can't he have a lover?" ”

"No, I have the impression that onmyoji should be cold, rejecting people and thousands of miles away, it's really rare to see someone like you." I explained.

"Cold?" He thought for a moment and said, "There seems to be one such onmyoji in our house. ”

"Hey, then, may I ask a question?" I changed the subject, and now I have no interest in knowing the cold Onmyoji.

"Hello?" The corners of his mouth lifted, he stretched out a fan and put it on my head, and said with a smile: "You are very rude, Sharo, at least you have to call out brother." ”

"Brother. . . Elder brother. I shouted reluctantly.

He smiled and nodded.

"Well, how did my father die---------?" I asked in a low voice.

The smile gradually faded on his handsome face, "When I was a child, I heard my family say that my uncle fell in love with a Tang girl in Tangtu, when Tangtu was in chaos, my grandmother pretended to be seriously ill because I was worried, and deceived my uncle back, and after my uncle came, I knew that I was deceived and naturally wanted to go back immediately, at that time we all knew that my uncle had a daughter named Sharo in Tangtu, and my grandmother was angry and imprisoned my uncle, and later it was my father who helped my uncle escape from the mansion and let him take a boat to Tangtu. ”

He paused and said, "But I didn't expect that the ship to be shipwrecked. ”

It turns out that this is the case, it turns out that Sharo's father is not a negative person, he has always wanted to go back to them, but...

Sharo, your father has never forgotten you, Sharo, did you hear it, you must be happy, my heart was excited, my nose began to pantothenic, and I hurriedly lowered my head.

"Sharo?" He asked, tilting his head.

"I'm so happy." I began to speak uncontrollably, "I'm so happy, I'm really happy, it turns out that Dad has never forgotten my mother, forgotten me, Dad has always been thinking about us. “

As I spoke, there was a panic in my heart, it seemed that someone was controlling me to speak, those words were not what I wanted to say, could it be the soul of Sharo?

Sharo? Are you here? I muttered.

A hint of pity suddenly flashed in Baoxian's enchanting eyes, and he reached out and hugged me into his arms, and whispered in my ear, "Poor child." ”

I was stunned for a moment, came back to my senses, and hurriedly pushed him away, "I'm your sister, don't you want to take advantage of me." ”

"Taking advantage?" He was stunned, and suddenly lowered his head suddenly, almost hitting my nose, and when I raised my eyes, his eyes flashed with a dazzling light, as if they had been transformed into many small hooks, scrambling to hook people's souls.

Such beautiful eyes, I can't help but secretly admire. Admiration to admiration, my hand still pushed him away mercilessly.

He seemed a little surprised, his eyes as black as midnight smiled lightly, with teasing. "You're the first woman who can push me away under my gaze."

"Don't stink." I pouted disapplausively, this girl has seen many beautiful men in ancient and modern times, how can she be so undetermined.

"Handsome guy, I've seen a lot, you, I'll give you a seven, hum." I shook my hair and walked to my room without looking back.

I don't know what Baoxian's expression is, but it must be very upset.

Back in the room, I leaned on the sliding door, breathed a sigh of relief, felt out the hooka in my arms, and smiled with relief, Sharo, now, your family of three must be reunited in another world.

The next day, as soon as I got up, some maids came in, and they hung curtains and curtains in my room.

"Ah, ah, what is this for?" I asked, sleepy-eyed.

One of the women in a red plum coat smiled at me and said softly, "Miss Sharo, my lord has commanded that from today onwards, I, Akihime, will teach you the manners of various nobles, and the first thing is that you need to talk to them behind the curtain from now on. Come, please come here. ”

"Ahh I stayed there, by the way, how could I have forgotten that the aristocratic women of the Heian period had to talk to men behind the curtains, even if they were fathers and brothers. Although the head of the yin and yang held by Kamo Tadayuki is an official position from the fiveth, he has always been deeply favored by Emperor Murakami, and he is often summoned by the emperor, and his status is naturally not low.

Looking at the gorgeous clothes of these women, as well as the three-foot green silk dragging on the ground, I couldn't help but feel dizzy, is this the legendary twelve single clothes?

As far as I know, the 12 single clothes are composed of Tang clothes, dresses, blouses, beater clothes, jackets and single clothes, of course, in the single clothes also have to wear small sleeves, among which the jacket is a kind of clothing composed of five layers of thin shirts of different colors, which is really cumbersome.

After washing, Qiu Ji also asked people to bring a set of confessions, the twelve single clothes that imitate the color of the tender willow in the green, with delicate wisteria patterns on the clothes, with the help of the four maids, I barely put it on, oh my God, it's so heavy, I can't take a step, I feel like I'm walking around with a quilt on my back. "Qiu Ji, can you wear a few less?" I asked with a bitter face.

"Usually, you can also wear a jacket, that is, remove the clothes and Tang clothes." Akihime smiled.

As soon as I heard that it could lighten the burden a little, I hurriedly motioned for the maid to come over and relieve me of the clothes and Tang clothes.

After a while, my stomach began to protest, and I laughed dryly and asked, "Akihime, can you have breakfast first?" “

Qiu Ji glanced at me lightly and said, "Miss Shaluo, I don't know what kind of habit you had when you were in Tang Tu, but here, people with status generally only eat twice a day. It's not time yet. ”

"What!" I'm battered and only use two meals a day, isn't this a forced weight loss? "I, I'm not a person of status, can I eat three meals a day?" I whispered.

"Miss Sharo, please pay attention to your words and deeds, your father, Lord Ka Mao, was a noble palace man from the three during his lifetime, and since you are now a member of the He Mao family, you are a person with status." As she spoke, she handed me a plain white bat fan and said, "If you encounter an accident, you should use the fan to half-cover your face, or use your sleeve, in short, so that other men can easily see your face." ”

I reluctantly took the fan and covered it.

This is not possible, Miss Sharo, when holding the fan, hold the lower part of the fan with your right hand, so that the tip of the fan is slightly inclined upward; The left hand is held in the middle, the thumb is on top, and the four fingers are on the bottom, and that's it. She smiled and corrected my posture.

I said depressedly, "Well, can I meet my uncle?" ”

"Lord Kamo and Childe entered the palace early in the morning." Her voice was gentle.

Entering the palace? I suddenly remembered Concubine Wenche, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, do you know Concubine Wenche?" ”

Qiu Ji nodded and said, "Concubine Wenche is the most favored concubine of the Lord today, who doesn't know her, plus she has just been pregnant with a dragon fetus, and her grace is even more beautiful." ”

"What, she's just conceived with a dragon baby?" I breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, in this case, I didn't have to wait for her to give birth to the prince before the task could be completed. Wouldn't that have to wait for months?

"Also, Miss Sharo, it is a very disrespectful act for you to speak with your mouth wide open just now, and please remember to cover your mouth with a half-open fan; When laughing, bow your head and put a fan over your lips. ”

I tugged at the fan tightly, my endurance was reaching its limit... Is this the punishment for me to pretend to be Sharo?

I finally managed to get through to the first meal, and finally the food here was quite my appetite, the hanging plate made of black lacquered light fragrant wood was filled with rice and eel, plus celery and eggplant, and finally there was a dessert-------- tang grapes, which were made of rice flour, wheat and soybean flour, and the mouth was soft and fragrant.

I heard that the commoners at that time still ate whole grains, and only the nobles could eat rice.

After eating, under the bunch of etiquette explained by Akihime, my mind began to swell, and I looked at her mouth, how could I not get tired after talking for so long.

Finally, she said something that I liked best: "Then, Miss Sharo, that's all for today, and Akihime will continue to teach you tomorrow." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." I bowed to her.

She smiled with satisfaction, got up and walked out.

As soon as I saw her leave, I quickly stood up, loosened my muscles, stretched my waist, lifted the curtain, and just took a step, I almost tripped over the hakama pants I was wearing.

In any case, if you want to complete the task, it seems that it will be more convenient to enter the palace.

Thinking about it, the ancient aristocratic women were quite pitiful, and they could only stay in such a small space after the coming-of-age ceremony, no wonder they were all short-lived.

As soon as I reached the courtyard, I suddenly saw several young men in white hunting clothes walking from the corridor.

"That man, always like that, I don't feel comfortable looking at it."

"Ignore him, Sasuke, he's like that to everyone."

"Do you know, I heard that his mother is a white fox, how could the master take him as an apprentice?"

"So he has demonic blood in his body."

"Anyway, just ignore him."

The men hurried away, listening to their conversation, it was supposed to be the disciples of Kamo Tadayuki. But who is the man they are talking about?

I continued to walk deeper into the courtyard, where the sun was shining like broken gold on the lotus pond in the courtyard, where a young man in a white hunting suit was half-squatting, wiping the back of his hand with the water.

He heard my footsteps and turned his head slowly.

I looked at him stunned, there is still such an elegant, smart and elegant young man in the world, like a cloud fluttering in the blue sky, and it is like a wisp of breeze with a faint fragrance of leaves, the dust is not clean, and the clouds are light and the wind is clear.

He only glanced at me, then turned his head back and went on with his business.

Then I noticed that there were some scars on the back of his hands.

"What's wrong with you?" I blurted out.

He didn't speak.

"How did your hand hurt? Do you want to rub some medicine? I asked, taking two steps closer.

"No, you don't." His voice was as clear as dew falling onto a bamboo leaf.

I sat down next to him, and he seemed a little surprised.

"I say, are you also a disciple of Lord Kamo?" I asked, turning my head sideways.

"Hmm."

"Do you also like yin-yang arts?"

"Hmm."

"My name is Ye----- my name is Sharo, what about you? What is your name? ”

“。。。。”

This boy really cherishes words like gold, and I can't help but feel depressed.

"Boy, you're very dragged." I picked up a pebble and threw it into the pond.

"Drag?" He finally had a reaction.

"I mean, you're very high-minded, and you ignore me when I talk to you like this." I threw another pebble, and it floated three times on the surface of the water before it sank.

"Wow, look, there are three drifts!" I pointed to the pool.

"I'm not Qinggao." He looked at the pool and said coldly. "I'm the son of the white fox, it's best not to approach me."

I was stunned, it turned out that he was the son of the white fox in those mouths,

He looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, about the same age as me, and if you looked closely, his eyes were pure and pure black, like black crystals, refracting a faint brilliance in the sun, clear and transparent, without a trace of earthly turbidity.

"What about the son of the white fox? Whether it is a human being or a monster, they will have feelings, love, if there is love in their hearts, monsters are also worthy of respect, if there is no love, then even human beings will be despised. As I spoke, I patted him on the shoulder.

He looked up at me, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"You are..."

"Kamo-sama is my uncle, and I say it again, my name is .."

"Sharo." He said suddenly.

"Well, so you remembered." I laughed.

"Miss Sharo, Miss Sharo." Not far away came the shouts of the maids.

"Oops, I'm going back to my room." I quickly stood up, patted my clothes, and was about to leave, when suddenly something came to my mind, and said, "By the way, you haven't told me what your name is?" ”

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he lightly spit out a few words: "Abe----- Qingming." ”

My footsteps stopped in place, Abe Harumi, this name is simply thunderous, the most prestigious onmyoji in the Heian period, turned out to be this boy in front of me?

How could I forget, isn't Abe Harumi's master Kamo Tadayuki? Isn't his mother a legendary white fox named Ge Ye?

I didn't expect to meet the young Qingming here,

I turned my head, smiled at him, and said, "Abe Haruaki, we will be friends from today onwards." “

He was stunned for a moment, then turned away with a cold expression.
