Chapter 232: A Letter from a Thousand Nights
Looking at Qiu Yumaru, who looked a little clumsy, but was still trying to hold the brush and write seriously, whether it was Hojo Phantom An, who taught her, or Nanami Hashimoto, who was sitting on the side, couldn't say anything harsh.
Although Nana Hashimoto originally wanted to ask Hojo Phantom to find a suitable teacher to teach Akiyu Maru, after some inquiries about Hojo Phantom An, he found that there was no one who had enough courage to teach youkai to read and write in the huge Odawara Castle. In desperation, Hojo Phantom had no choice but to shoulder this burden himself to teach Akiyumaru's studies.
However, to Hojo Mirage'an, it is gratifying and satisfied that Akiyumaru is not a difficult child to teach, under the supervision of Nanami Hashimoto, although this child is a monster, he shows diligence and studious that is not inferior to humans, and for what is taught to her, although he is not fast, he is very solid.
Hojo Phantom An, who found this, also breathed a sigh of relief, because of Hashimoto Nanawei's feelings, he had to come to teach Autumn Rain Pill in person, if under his own teaching, Autumn Rain Pill does not learn well or learns very slowly, it will undoubtedly make Hashimoto Nana not think that he did not try his best to teach, and now Autumn Rain Pill is not fast to learn, but it can also be regarded as a general achievement, which makes Hojo Phantom An finally be able to have an explanation for Hashimoto Nanawei's commission.
Completed today's lesson, under the expectant gaze of Autumn Rain Pill, Hojo Phantom Ann ended the lecture, but Autumn Rain Pill did not run out to play, but stepped on his little feet and came to Hashimoto Nanawei's side, flatteringly took out a handful of shiny chestnuts from his arms, and held them in front of Hashimoto Nanami with both hands like a treasure, and then looked at Hashimoto Nanami with expectant eyes and said: "My lord, this is what I went to the mountains to pick yesterday, you taste it, it's sweet." ”
Facing the little eyes of Qiu Yumaru's expectation, Nana Hashimoto reached out and took a chestnut, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly, and sure enough, she smelled a sweet fragrance, so she gently pressed the shell of the chestnut and broke it, peeled off the hairy layer of skin on the surface, and put the white and tender flesh into her mouth. A fragrance and sweetness diffused in Hashimoto Nanawei's mouth, which made her squint her eyes and say to Qiu Yu Pill with a smile: "It's delicious, thank you, Qiu Yu Maru." ”
Hearing Nanami Hashimoto's praise, Qiu Yumaru happily put the chestnut in his hand on the low table in front of Nanami Hashimoto, and then followed the example of Ruodie and Xiaoju, and knelt beside Nanami Hashimoto as if he was well-behaved.
Looking at the well-behaved appearance of Qiu Yu Maru, Nana Hashimoto was a little relieved in his heart, this little monster who was originally ignorant and ignorant has finally become well-behaved and sensible, which made Nana Hashimoto feel sincerely happy, so she thanked Hojo Phantom An: "Master Phantom An, thank you for teaching Qiu Yu Maru for this period of time, this child can be so sensible as now, Master Phantom An, your teaching is indispensable." ”
When Hojo Phantom heard Nanami's words, he hurriedly said modestly: "Madame's words are serious, if it weren't for Madame's previous teaching and supervision, the poor monk would not be able to teach Qiuyu Pill smoothly." This child will only be so well-behaved and obedient in front of you, Madame, except Madame, I'm afraid that no one else can control her, and please ask Madame to restrain her more in the future. ”
"That's exactly what I want to do with you, Master Phantom." Nana Hashimoto bowed slightly, and the concerns raised by Hojo Mirage were exactly what she wanted to discuss: "Although Autumn Rain Pill can be well-behaved and obedient in front of me, this child is still a little lacking in etiquette and common sense, so I plan to ask Master Illusion Temple to teach Autumn Rain Pill etiquette." If Qiu Yumaru can understand etiquette and common sense, everyone must be able to worry a little more. ”
Facing Nanami Hashimoto's request, Hojo Phantom looked at Akiyumaru who was sitting behind Nanami Hashimoto, and saw that she was still staring at Nanami Hashimoto with a focused expression, and finally nodded after hesitating, and agreed to Nanami Hashimoto's request: "Since Madame said so, the poor monk has no reason to refuse." It's just that the poor monk can only teach the etiquette and Dharma of the samurai, and I don't know if these things are suitable to teach to Qiu Yumaru, after all, she is ......"
Nana Hashimoto didn't understand Hojo's concerns, and smiled and comforted him: "Master Phantom Nunnery doesn't have to be suspicious, although Akiyumaru is a monster, I still hope that she can understand the principles of being a human being, as well as the etiquette needed to behave in the world." So don't worry, Master Phantom, I won't mind if you teach her the etiquette and Dharma of a samurai. ”
Nanami Hashimoto did not intend to interfere with Hojo Hana'an's teaching of Akiyumaru, because she knew that Akiramaru would eventually have to live in this era for another 500 years, and she would not be able to see her again until 500 years later, when she went to Shikoku. And in the past five hundred years, what Qiu Yumaru needs to know should be the etiquette and knowledge of this era, and what she knows is not suitable to teach her.
Although the etiquette and Buddhism of the samurai taught by Hojo Shinan were not the most suitable courses, Nana Hashimoto felt that as a youkai, it was important to be able to protect herself. As for what women should learn in this era, Nana Hashimoto doesn't think it's okay to wait for Autumn Rain Pill to learn etiquette, and then slowly make up for it.
Just as Nanami Hashimoto and Hojo Hanan had agreed on a lesson on Akiramaru, a white pigeon suddenly flew in through the open window, and then fluttered its wings and landed in front of Wakadie.
Looking at the pigeon that suddenly landed in front of him, Ruodie recognized that this was the fast pigeon released by Qianye, so he reached out and grabbed the pigeon, raised his hand, and lifted the spell on the pigeon, so that it turned back into a thousand paper cranes, and then the paper crane was unfolded and restored into a letter written by Qianye. Smoothing out the original crumpled letterhead, Ruodie handed the letter written by Qianye to Nanami Hashimoto and said to her, "Madam, it's the master's reply." ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't take the letter handed over by Ruodie, and said to Hojo Phantom Nunnery with some apologies: "The little girl is worried about her husband, and I ask Master Phantom Nunnery to forgive me." When he had finished speaking, he picked up the letter and read it carefully.
Hojo Phantom Nunnery bowed slightly to Nanami Hashimoto, and then remained silent on the side, not daring to disturb Nanami Hashimoto to read the letter. Although he was a little curious about what would be on the letter written by Chiya, Hojo Phantom had no desire to explore.
Before, because he learned that Nanami Hashimoto's husband was a thousand nights, he had specially written back to the King Kong Royal Temple, asking his master about the thousand nights, after knowing that Thousand Nights was the same era as Abe Haruaki's great onmyoji, and had subdued the nine-tailed fox with Abe Harumi, Hojo Phantom An had already decided that no matter what kind of request Hashimoto Nana did not make, the Hojo family would do their best to satisfy her, otherwise, the result of annoying the thousand nights behind her was definitely not something that the Hojo family could bear.
Nana Hashimoto looked at the letter written to himself by Qianye on the letterhead, and the expression on his face was both happy and disgusted, which made the Hojo Phantom on the side couldn't help but feel nervous, very worried that Nana Hashimoto would suddenly lose his temper. But in the end, Nana Hashimoto just put down the letter with a somewhat stunned expression, and her eyes drifted out of the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
Looking at Nana Hashimoto's expression that became a little lost after reading the letter, Qiu Yumaru on the side suddenly moved to Nanami Hashimoto's side with concern, and asked her, "My lord, what's wrong with you, are you unhappy?" Is someone bullying you, Qiu Yumaru will help you beat him! ”
Looking at the serious Qiu Yu Maru, Nana Hashimoto suddenly smiled with relief, touched Qiu Yu Maru's head, and smiled at her: "I'm not unhappy, it's just that some things didn't work out just now." But now it's okay, with Qiuyu Pill here, how can I be unhappy? Thank you, Akimaru, but I don't need you to help me beat someone. ”
Qiu Yumaru didn't understand what Nanami Hashimoto meant, but she understood that Nanami Hashimoto didn't need her help to beat someone, so the expression on her little face was a little lost, but Nana Hashimoto's hand touching her head made Nanami happy again, shaking her little head constantly, rubbing Nanami Hashimoto's palm, with a happy expression on her face.
Seeing that Nanami Hashimoto's expression became gloomy, Hojo Phantom knew that it was no longer suitable for him to stay here at this time, so he got up and said goodbye to Nanami Hashimoto. And Nana Hashimoto didn't keep it, but said to Xiao Ju on the side: "Xiao Ju, you send Master Huan out, and tell the kitchen that I want to eat a little lighter at night and let them boil a pot of rice porridge." ”
At the same time as ordering Xiaoju to send Hojo Phantom to leave, Nanami Hashimoto also casually found an excuse to break it up, and then bowed his head and said to Qiu Yumaru: "Qiu Yu Maru, the chestnuts you brought today are delicious, can you go and help me find some more?" Nana Hashimoto didn't have something to say to Wakadie alone, so she thought of an excuse to let Akimaru leave the room as well.
Akiyumaru heard that Nana Hashimoto didn't say this, and he didn't doubt him, and after nodding with a happy smile on his face, he was about to run out of the door. Nanami Hashimoto hurriedly told again: "Be careful on the road and don't get your clothes dirty." Remember to come back early, I still have to wait for Autumn Rain Pill to have dinner together. "Nana Hashimoto didn't tell Autumn Rain Pill looks like a mother who is telling a child who is going out to play.
When Autumn Rain Pill left, Nanami Hashimoto put away the smile on his face, sighed and asked Ruodie, "Ruodie, is the curse on Qianye's body really unsolvable?" Although Nanami Hashimoto knew that the curse on Senya's body would not be lifted until five hundred years later, relying on Mai Shiraishi, who had turned into a nine-tailed fox, but at this time, he received a letter from Senya stating that he was afraid to come to see him because he was afraid that the curse would hurt him, and Nanami Hashimoto still hoped to find a way to lift the curse.
"If there was a way to lift the curse on the master, it would not have dragged on for five hundred years." Speaking of the curse imposed by the nine-tailed fox on Qianye's body, even Ruodie could only shake her head helplessly, and then asked Nanami Hashimoto curiously: "Madam, how did the master lift the curse on his body after five hundred years, and how did you and him get married?" ”
Maybe it's because of a woman's nature, even Ruodie can't be exempt from vulgarity, and wants to explore what happened about a thousand nights five hundred years later. However, Nana Hashimoto's answer made Ruodie startled.
"Five hundred years from now? The curse on Thousand Nights was lifted, and it wasn't because you drugged him and my best friend! Otherwise, with Qianye's physique and concentration, how could that kind of thing happen like drunken disorder, and forcibly have a relationship with Mai! Nana Hashimoto didn't mention it, and although she had forgiven Senya and Mai Shiraishi, she was still ashamed.
And after Ruodie heard this, the whole person fell into a state of panic, at this time, she couldn't imagine that five hundred years later, she would actually do such a thing as drugged Qianye. This kind of betrayal-like behavior made Ruodie's always calm face also show a surprised expression, and asked Nanami Hashimoto, "Madam, what is going on?" How could I have drugged my master! Madame, can you tell me, why should I drug the master and Madame your friends and let them force them to have sex? ”
"It's not because Mai is a new generation of nine-tailed foxes!" Nana Hashimoto said angrily, after all, her boyfriend forcibly had a relationship with her best friend, even if one of them is her husband and the other is her husband's wife, but Nana Hashimoto still has a little unhappiness in her heart, so that she unconsciously puffed out her cheeks.
"A new generation of nine-tailed foxes, madam, do you mean that five hundred years later, a new nine-tailed fox will be born? But in that case, how could she lift the curse from her master? That curse was cast at the expense of the soul of Tamamoto, madam, even if your friend is a nine-tailed fox, it shouldn't be able to lift the curse on the master, unless she is possessed by the demon spirit of Tamamoto......" Ruodie almost guessed the truth five hundred years later with the words that Nanami Hashimoto said, which made her look at Nanami Hashimoto in disbelief, not believing that things could be so coincidental.
"Five hundred years from now, you will know when the time comes, and it is useless to say it now." Nanami Hashimoto shook her head, as if she didn't want to reveal too much about what would happen five hundred years later, and then she asked Ruodie: "Ruodie, now Qianye doesn't want to see me because of the curse, what do you think I should do?" ”
Seeing that Nanami Hashimoto didn't want to talk about things five hundred years later, Ruodie didn't want to ask again, but she still kept this matter in mind, and then thought for a while before answering Nanami Hashimoto's inquiry: "Madame shouldn't think about these troublesome things now, the most important thing for Madame now for you should be to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and then give birth to the child." After the child was born, the lady returned to Kyoto with the child, and the owner could not avoid it anyway. ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't see Ruodie say this, so she had to nod her head and stop thinking about it.
