Chapter 87: Because of Love
Walking through the back garden, Koichiro made his way to the reception room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHere, the members of the Hikari Ichiban team are having dinner, and Misa Aida is talking to the new director, Miyo Fukano.
Seeing Mitsuichiro coming in, Yayo Fukano immediately greeted him.
Koichiro smiled and said, "Director Fukano, because I wanted to see my mother earlier, I was a little rude to you, please bear with me." ”
Hearing this, Miyo Fukano couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then showed an excited look: "You are so polite!" In the past, it was the subordinates who were too rigid in executing the orders of the head of the family, which made the young master displeased; Therefore, it should be the subordinates who apologize to the young master! ”
"Haha, Director Fukano is really elegant! No wonder he was so appreciated by his father. With a kind expression, Koichiro continued, "My mother's health is not good, and I hope that Director Fukano will take care of her!" ”
Fukano Yayo bowed again: "Please rest assured, young master, anything related to the lady, the subordinates will definitely do their best!" ”
"Director Fukano doesn't have to be so outside." Mitsuichiro picked up Miyo Fukano and asked unconsciously, "By the way, I see that there are a lot fewer family guards in the courtyard, so it's not very safe!" ”
"It's the head of the family......" After blurting out, Fukano Yayo realized that something was wrong, and he hurriedly lowered his voice, "Young master, after this matter is said by his subordinates, please keep it a secret!" Because of the need to expand his power, the head of the family felt that there were not enough manpower, so he mobilized some of the family's guards. ”
Smiling and nodding, Koichiro said, "Don't worry, I've forgotten about this matter." ”
At this time, in the heart of Koichiro, he became more and more dissatisfied with his father: "In order to satisfy the ambition of expansion, I didn't even care about my mother's safety." It was also before, Grandpa Zhinian invited the master to treat his mother, which was a good thing, why did his father be angry? Is it just for the sake of the face of the Obscures family? ”
After communicating with Yayo Fukano, Koichiro quickly finished dinner and left with Yuka Igarashi.
Seeing the back of Mitsuichiro and Yuka Igarashi leaving, Misa Aida clenched her tooth crown, and felt like she had been stabbed in her heart: "I actually took her to see my aunt!" Senior brother, why are you so obsessed with that vixen? ”
When I entered my mother's room again, I saw that her face had improved slightly, and she had stopped coughing for the time being; Hikari Ichiro couldn't help but secretly say: "Come to think of it, it's the effect of decoction and massage." ”
Bowing slightly to the two masters of Zhenzhi and Zhenya, Ichiro said to him: "Two masters, Ichiro has something to tell his mother alone. ”
After bowing in return, the two masters left the elegant residence with their maids.
Taking Igarashi's jade hand, Mitsuichiro knelt down with her in front of her mother and saluted Junko Takaji.
Looking at Yuka Igarashi, Junko Takaji asked, "Ichiro, is this the woman you mentioned earlier?" ”
"She's the woman I like, named Yuka Igarashi." Koichiro nodded.
Hearing Mitsuichiro's words, Yuka Igarashi's face flushed, and her heart was filled with a sense of happiness and satisfaction.
"It's truly stunning."
Takaji Junko nodded, "Ichiro, you go out first, I'm going to talk to Yuka alone." ”
"The child obeys!" After saluting again, Koichiro quickly exited the house.
While talking to Junko Takaji, Yuka Igarashi noticed that the gray-haired elder was very easy-going, and she couldn't help but let go of the restraints in her heart.
Takaji Junko stretched out her wrinkled palm and stroked Yuka's delicate and delicate face: "What a stunning beauty!" There must be a lot of boys who like you. ”
"Please rest assured, ma'am!"
Yuka Igarashi knelt down in front of Junko Takashi, "Since the moment she was rescued by the young master, Yuka can't tolerate other men in her heart. In the past, although Yuka was a kabuki, she never looked down on herself, and she never despised herself to please her customers! ”
After helping Igarashi Yuka up, Takaji Junko smiled and nodded: "The old body knows a little about the art of observing people, and I can see that you are a good girl who is clean and self-conscious." The relationship between you and Ichiro is very sincere, which is rare. I know my child, who is very arrogant and has never had a woman in his eye before. ”
"Although the young master's temperament is arrogant, his heart is like that of a lady: kind, gentle and considerate." Yuka Igarashi quickly responded.
Hearing this, Takashi Junko chuckled: "But what a wonderful person who can talk." Still, I'm glad you understand him that way. You know, your personality is very similar to when I was young, with the tenderness of water and the fortitude of mountains. Looking at your beautiful and vibrant face, I can't help but recall my youth. ”
"Madame, you are still beautiful. After years of precipitation, you exude a unique charm that I can't match. Blinking her big beautiful eyes, Yuuka Igarashi said sincerely.
"You kid really can talk!" Takaji Junko took Igarashi's jade hand, "I'm only forty this year, do you want to know why I'm so old?" ”
Next, through the narration of Junko Takaji, Yuka Igarashi learned the reason for her old age and the cold reception she received from her husband over the years. Even the physical and mental pain, Takashi Junko also told Yuka.
After listening to this sad story, Yuka Igarashi was already in tears, and she couldn't help but throw herself into the arms of Junko Takaji: "Madam, you are really a great mother, a great woman!" However, Heaven is so unfair that you have suffered so much. My heart suddenly feels so painful! ”
Stroking the hair of the knotted flowers, Takaji Junko sighed with emotion: "Living in the world is the process of overcoming misfortune and cultivating blessings; I hope that after I get through these hardships, I can exchange it for Ichiro's blessings. ”
Looking at the tearful Yuka Igarashi, Takaji Junko couldn't help but say, "I hope Ichiro won't let you feel such heartache in the future." The tragedy that happened to me, don't repeat it again!
Do you know, in the history of my family's Eagle Division, there was a talented woman who was both talented and beautiful. Thanks to her efforts, the strength of the Eagle Division has increased dramatically, from the end of the original Five Families to the existence of the other four. Because of such great achievements, she has become the first female head of the family in the history of the Eagle Division in just ten years. However, less than half a year after taking office, she took the initiative to step down as the head of the family. ”
"Why is that?" Yuka Igarashi couldn't help but ask, "Is it because of love?" ”
Takaji Junko nodded: "Yes, because she is in love with someone, a man with great power." He was the third shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu. ”
"The woman that Madame is talking about is the most famous Oku in the history of Toei Province, Takashi Takashi," Yuka Igarashi said her guess.
Looking at the intelligent Yuka, Takaji Junko bowed her head again: "Since you know something about her, you should also know what kind of life she lived after becoming the main room of Tokugawa Iemitsu."
Eagle Division filial son has a beautiful face, gentle character, noble temperament, and outstanding talent. But such a perfect woman, but she only won the favor of Tokugawa Iemitsu for one year. A year later, Tokugawa Iemitsu separated from Takashi Takashi and went to choose a new love. At this point, Takashi Takako began to live alone until he died. She spent most of her life in loneliness. ”
Speaking of this, Yingsi Junzi sighed with emotion: "Compared to Yingsi Xiaozi, I am still lucky; At least, Ichiro's father was still in love with me for the ten years before his appearance aged. ”
"Madam," Yuuka Igarashi asked, "why do men like the new and hate the old so much?" ”
Sighing, Eagle Si Junko said quietly: "Because in the eyes of many men, women are just playthings and vassals; They care more about wealth and power than about love.
What happened to me with Takako is a thing of the past, and the road of affection between you and Ichiro has just begun. Ichiro is my child, and emotionally speaking, of course I want you to grow old together; But the world is impermanent, and if one day, Ichiro's love for you is gone, start your life again. A woman must never entrust her fate to a man, even if the man is the one she loves deeply. ”
"Madam, I believe in Ichiro, and I believe in myself!"
Staring at Takaji Junko, Yuka Igarashi said firmly.
Taking out a handkerchief embroidered with a peony pattern, Junko Takashi handed it to Yuka Igarashi: "This is my personal belonging, so I will give it to you as a greeting gift." In the future, if Ichiro fails you, you can take it to the people of the Eagle Clan, and they will provide you with shelter. But I hope you'll never need this handkerchief. ”
"Madame, the value of this handkerchief to me is not to ask for help, but to be a token of my constant remembrance of you." Yuka Igarashi took the handkerchief and stored it in her storage.
Takashi Junko smiled and nodded, tapping her smooth forehead with her fingertips: "Child, I wish you a long period of happiness." Go ahead and call Ichiro in. ”
After bowing down to Takaji Junko, Yuka Igarashi withdrew from the house; Immediately afterward, Mitsuichiro walked in, and he noticed that his mother's face was a little paler.
Without outsiders, the mother and son naturally have a lot to say. Before I knew it, it was getting late, and the room was lit with candles.
Under the candlelight, looking at her son's handsome face, Takashi Junko said slowly: "Ichiro, through the mouth of Master Zhenzhi, you should know that your mother's time is running out. ”
"Mother! You ......"
Hikikoichiro was about to say something, but he saw Junko Takaji wave his hand.
With a kind gaze, Takaji Junko held her son's hand: "Yuuka is a good girl, since you love her, you must cherish it, don't let what happened to your mother happen again." ”
"A child is different from his father, and he is not a person who is abandoned from the beginning!"
Koichiro said with great firmness, "Please rest assured that Mother is on this. ”
Takaji Junko smiled and nodded: "As a mother, I definitely choose to believe you, but everything in the world is easier said than done. Besides, I don't see your life anymore. ”
Tears were already rolling in Koichiro's eyes: "Mother, why do you always mention this?" ”
"Because in my mother's heart, I am not afraid of death."
Takashi Junko said calmly, "But before I die, I want to pass on something to you, so that you can be blinded." Ichiro, turn around. ”
Turning around as his mother instructed, Koichiro asked strangely, "Mother, what are you doing here?" ”
