Chapter 231: A Thousand Nights of Sorrow
Nana Hashimoto did not support her waist with her hands and sat carefully on the cushion, while the autumn rain pill on the side put a cushion on her back very intimately. As her lower abdomen bulged, she became more and more immobile, so much so that she had to lean on something even when she was sitting. Whenever this happens, Nanami Hashimoto always misses the modern chair, at least when he sits, he can have a support for his back.
Looking at Qiu Yu Maru, who was looking at him with concerned eyes, Nana Hashimoto smiled at her, touched her little head and thanked, "Thank you, Qiu Yu Maru, the cushions are very comfortable." With Nanami Hashimoto's words, Qiu Yumaru's originally tense little face suddenly bloomed with a happy smile, and he sat next to Nanami Hashimoto a little shyly.
Since the last time in the port, Akiyumaru felt the breath of motherhood and her identity as a big monster in Nanami Hashimoto, and mistook her for his mother, this little monster who was originally ignorant and just followed the instincts of a beast has been very clinging to Nanami Hashimoto, just like a young beast is attached to a mother beast. However, the pregnant Nanami Hashimoto does not reject this attachment of Autumn Rain Pill, and she also tries to teach Autumn Rain Pill to speak and etiquette.
"Autumn Rain Pill, have you memorized everything I taught you yesterday?" Nana Hashimoto adjusted her posture to make herself more comfortable, and at the same time, she was also asking Akimaru about her homework yesterday. Because she was in the Warring States period, Nanami Hashimoto couldn't teach her things that were too far beyond this era, and modern Japanese and the Japanese of the Warring States period also had differences in grammar and pronunciation, so she was just teaching Akiyomaru some simple words and phrases.
Qiu Yumaru nodded, and in the face of Nanami Hashimoto's inquiry, he replied with a focused and serious expression: "Big ...... Your Excellency...... I have memorized what I taught yesterday. As he spoke, he began to repeat the lesson that Nana Hashimoto had taught yesterday. Listening to Akimaru's retelling, Nana Hashimoto nodded unsatisfied, satisfied with her homework. Although Qiu Yumaru still stumbled when he spoke, he still made a lot of progress compared to not being able to say anything before.
"Autumn rain pill is awesome, it's a quick learner." Nanami Hashimoto praised Akirumaru while thinking about what needed to be handed over to her next. Although she can always take Autumn Rain Pill with her side to teach her personally, but as the time of her pregnancy increases, she also feels more and more lacking in energy, often feeling tired and drowsy, although this is just a normal reaction after pregnancy, but this still makes Nana Hashimoto not feel that she is not suitable to continue teaching Autumn Rain Pill.
After thinking about it for a while, Nanami Hashimoto still decided to invite a teacher of this era for Akirumaru to systematically teach her the truths that she should know whether she is a monster or a human. At the very least, let this child, who still retains a bit of wildness, understand right and wrong, and know what can and cannot be done. At least not like a few days ago, with a live fish in his mouth and into his room through the window.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a butterfly in the room at the time, Nana Hashimoto really felt that she would be taken aback. Thinking like this, Nana Hashimoto turned his gaze to Xiao Ju on the side, and said to her: "Xiao Ju, if you go and invite Master Huan to come, just say that I have something to ask for." Considering that most of the people in Odawara Castle were samurai, Nanami Hashimoto decided to ask Hojo Hanan, a monk who was close to cultural people, to help find a suitable teacher.
Xiao Ju heard Nanami Hashimoto's instructions, hurriedly stood up, bowed to Nanami Hashimoto, and then exited the room, and according to Nanami Hashimoto's instructions, went to invite Hojo Phantom An.
Watching Xiao Ju leave the room, Ruodie, who had been kneeling beside Nanami Hashimoto, looked at Qiu Yumaru who was snuggled next to Nanami Hashimoto, a flash of clarity flashed in her eyes, and asked Nanami Hashimoto: "Madame is planning to hire a teacher for Nanami Hashimoto?" That's fine, Qiu Yumaru really needs a teacher to teach, but I'm afraid that Master Phantom Nunnery can't find a suitable person to teach a youkai, right? ”
"If you just invite the teacher here, and you and Ruodie and I supervise it together, Qiu Yumaru will still study seriously obediently." Nana Hashimoto looked at Akiyumaru who was snuggled up to him and said with a smile on his face. For this little girl who is attached to herself, Nanami Hashimoto may be because of her pregnancy, she has been treated as her own daughter, and she is very spoiled at the same time, but also hopes to make her grow into a likable girl.
"If that's the case, won't it disturb you, Madame? Let's let the little girl be in charge of supervising Qiu Yumaru to study, madam, you have a good rest. "Ruodie is a little worried about Nanami Hashimoto's body, as a pregnant woman, she should have avoided noise, because of this reason, the Hojo family also deliberately moved Nanami Hashimoto's room to the upper floor of the castle tower to avoid noise, at this time Nanami Hashimoto proposed to let Akiyumaru be taught in her room, which made Ruodie feel a little worried that it would affect her rest.
Nana Hashimoto shook her head slightly, and said to Ruodie with affirmation in her tone: "It's not in the way, I don't have anyone here every day, and if it's too quiet, I feel uncomfortable." Besides, I like the child Qiu Yu Maru very much, the teacher teaching her here will not make me feel noisy and uncomfortable, not to mention that the child Qiu Yu Maru will only be quiet and study seriously in front of me, if I am not by her side, ordinary human teachers may not be able to teach this child. ”
Ruodie remembered the many troubles that Qiu Yumaru had caused in Odawara Castle these days, if it weren't for the fact that she remembered what Nana Hashimoto told her and didn't hurt anyone, I'm afraid that Odawara Castle has been overturned by this little monster at this moment. It is only in front of Nanami Hashimoto that Qiu Yumaru will be obedient and willing to learn, in addition, even if it is himself, he just makes this little girl feel afraid and will not be obedient.
Thinking of this, Ruodie could only nod and agree with Nanami Hashimoto's decision.
Seeing that Ruodie recognized her idea, Nanami Hashimoto nodded with satisfaction, and then she remembered what she had asked Ruodie to send a message to Qianye before, so she asked Ruodie: "Ruodie, I asked you to send a message to Qianye before, did he receive it?" When will there be a reply? ”
"Madame don't have to be anxious, I have already sent the letter you wrote back to the Taisha here with the news pigeon, presumably at this time the Xun pigeon has already arrived in the hands of the master, and the master should have a reply letter in the near future, please don't worry too much about Madame." Ruodie explained to Nanami Hashimoto, and at the same time comforted Nanami Hashimoto's emotions. Because pregnant people get emotional easily, Wakadie didn't want Nanami Hashimoto to be restless because of this.
Although Nanami Hashimoto is not a person who is easily emotional and knows how to self-regulate his emotions, the pregnancy and the sudden departure from the environment he is familiar with still make Nanami Hashimoto inevitably become easily excited: "If you say that Qianye will accept me and the child?" I haven't heard him talk about it in 500 years, and what if he doesn't accept me and the child, should I go back 500 years to reason with him? But how can I go back 500 years? ”
Looking at Nanami Hashimoto, who suddenly became emotional, Ruodie could only continue to appease her emotions, and at the same time hoped that her master could reply as soon as possible, otherwise Nana Hashimoto would continue to worry like this, but I was afraid that her mood would also become depressed, which would be detrimental to the fetus.
——————————————————
In the shrine here, Qianye looked at the swift pigeon that fluttered its wings and landed in front of him, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and the honeyworm on the side saw Qianye's smile, and couldn't help but ask Qianye curiously: "Mr. Xuanyi, is this swift pigeon sent back by Ruodie, has she found the woman who is pregnant with your blood?" ”
"It should be that, the one who will send me a swift pigeon at this time of year is Ruodie, who went out to find the woman for me. With Ruodie's ability, she must have found the woman and stayed with her. Qianye stretched out her hand to grab the Xun Pigeon, although the corners of her mouth were smiling, but her brows couldn't help frowning: "Otherwise, it will not be the Xun Pigeon who will come back, but Ruodie herself." ”
The swift pigeon that was caught in Qianye's hand turned into a thousand paper cranes folded with white paper in his hand with a slight stroke of his other hand. Qianye unfolded the thousand paper cranes, looking at the elegant and delicate handwriting on it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and smiled at the honey worm on the side: "This letter was not written by Ruodie, and it seems that the handwriting is an elegant aristocratic lady." ”
Originally, Qianye was still looking at the letter that Nanami Hashimoto wrote to him with an indifferent smile, but when he felt between the lines that Nanami Hashimoto missed and attached to him, Qianya's face lost the smile.
After reading the letter, Qianye suddenly looked into the distance, and muttered to herself with a somewhat wandering gaze: "Is her name Nanami Hashimoto?" It was really difficult for her to suddenly fall from a familiar environment to a strange place and become pregnant. ”
Looking at Qianye, whose expression suddenly changed, the honeyworm asked Qianye with some puzzlement, "Why is Mr. Xuanyi suddenly worried?" Could it be that there is some bad news in this letter, or is there something wrong with that woman that makes you so sad, Mr. Xuanyi? ”
"No, this letter is just a love letter from the young lady to me expressing her longing and attachment." Qianye smiled self-deprecatingly, shook her head helplessly, and suddenly asked Honeyworm, "Honeyworm, do you think I'm really good like this?" Obviously, I haven't seen her at all, and she loves me five hundred years later, but now when she comes to this era, I naturally regard her as my wife, and I am even more glad that the curse on my body will finally be lifted. ”
"What do you say, sir? Isn't the Mr. Xuanyi that this young lady loves five hundred years later the current Mr. Xuanyi five hundred years ago? I think this young lady must also know this, so she wrote this letter to Mr. Xuanyi, right? Speaking of this, the honey worm couldn't help but pause, and looked at Qianye with a disgusted gaze: "And she is already pregnant with Mr. Xuanyi and your child, don't you plan to take responsibility Mr. Xuanyi?" Even if you are the result of five hundred years later, don't you have to bear this responsibility now, Mr. Xuanyi? ”
"Even if it's my wife five hundred years later, of course I will take this responsibility, but I ......" Qianye turned to look at the honey worm, and shook his head with a lonely expression on his face: "It's just that I have the curse of the nine-tailed fox, although she is my wife five hundred years later, I can't be sure if the curse will hurt her." Because she is my wife, I will fall in love with her in 500 years, and I am afraid that I will not be able to escape this result now. But as soon as I fell in love with her......"
Qianye didn't finish her words, but the honeyworm already understood Qianye's concerns at this time. For Chiya, although Nanami Hashimoto is his wife five hundred years later, in the present when Nanami Hashimoto has come to the Warring States period, although Chiya has never seen her, she has already regarded her as his wife.
It's just that the curse imposed by the nine-tailed fox on Qianye's body made him not dare to get close to Nanami Hashimoto, although he already regarded Nanami Hashimoto as his wife in his heart and wanted to care for and love her, but he was afraid, afraid that he would fall in love with Nanami Hashimoto like himself five hundred years later, which would lead to the fulfillment of the curse and bring disaster to her.
At this time, Qianye didn't know how he would lift the curse of the nine-tailed fox five hundred years later, and he didn't know how he fell in love with Nanami Hashimoto five hundred years later, but he didn't dare to gamble at this time, betting that even if he fell in love with Nanami Hashimoto, he wouldn't hurt her.
"In that case, what are you going to do, Mr. Xuanyi?" After thinking about Qianye's worries, the honeyworm also frowned, and after thinking for a while, she suggested to Qianye: "Why don't you ask this young lady Mr. Xuanyi, how about you lift the curse after five hundred years?" Presumably, this young lady, as Mr. Xuanyi's wife five hundred years later, must know about this. ”
Qianye listened to Honeyworm's words, just shook her head and rejected her suggestion: "What will happen in five hundred years is unknown to us, but for her in five hundred years, it is indeed a fixed history, no matter what changes I make, history will not change in five hundred years." Otherwise, she would not have been able to travel through five hundred years to appear in this era. ”
"But fortunately, she is now pregnant and can't travel hard, so let's wait until she gives birth to the child and comes to Kyoto, and then think about how to deal with this matter." In the end, Qianye chose to escape.
