Chapter 11: The Kasuga Konoe family is born
In the past few days, Konoe Mingxi has been living in the Shingu house and is at ease, and when he has nothing to do, he began to teach the children rescued from Mt. Takao to read and write, just like a good teacher; Maybe these days are his happiest days, just look at the relaxed smile every day.
Even a few guys from Shinmiya came over to listen to Mingxi's lecture whenever they had time.
After finishing the homework assigned by the teacher, Katsushin also returned to Shiniya, leaning against the door with his arms crossed, looking at the interesting picture in the courtyard.
"Lord Konoe, this sentence: The people are more benevolent than fire and water; Fire and water, I see... See... How do you pronounce the latter word? β
Ghost Qi touched his head and asked Xiang Mingxi with a puzzled expression; Ming Xi smiled and pointed to the words on the board and said:
"Login pronunciation (dao)! The people are more benevolent than fire and water; Fire and water, I saw the dead and did not see the benevolent and died. β
"Walking... So what does this mean? β
Mingxi didn't feel troublesome, and patiently explained to them:
"To the effect that the people's need for benevolence exceeds the need for water and fire, I have seen people die in the water and others in the fire, but I have not seen anyone die in the practice of benevolence."
Ghost Qi scratched his head suspiciously: "I still don't understand, if you don't make a fire to cook, won't people starve to death?" What kind of thing is Ren? β
Ha ha~
The surrounding children heard Oni Qi's answer and burst into laughter; Mingxi was not annoyed, because he knew that Ghost Qi had never been exposed to Sinology before, so he patiently replied:
"If there is no fire and water, you can't live, but if you don't have a benevolent heart, you can't be called a human being, in today's troubled times, the people's lives are like grass mustard, if there is no benevolence to grab a high position, how can the people eat a full meal in peace? This kindness is not only for others, but also for oneself, and I hope that in the future, everyone will be able to give a blow to the villains and have a heart of compassion for the weak. β
Ghost Qi suddenly realized when he heard this: "So that's what it means!" Kindness, thank you, Lord Konoe. β
Konoe Mingxi nodded with satisfaction, thinking that maybe it would be good for him to be a teacher in the future.
Shengxin looked at this scene, and suddenly felt that Mingxi's scholarly temperament was really suitable for teaching and educating people, and the dirty and filthy court was really not suitable for him.
Mingxi also saw Shengxin, and after asking the children to copy Chinese characters, he hurriedly walked in front of Shengxin:
"That's all I can do, I hope it doesn't bother you."
"Why! I can't ask for it. β
Shengxin smiled and grabbed Mingxi's arm and continued:
"I found you a small house in the Kasuga Trail, it is the small house of the former Kasuga family, although it is not big, but it is not far from the Oda family's office, and it is relatively reliable in terms of safety."
When Mingxi heard this, tears swirled in his eyes, and he was so moved that he didn't know what words to use to express his gratitude; So he broke free from Shengxin's hand and bowed to him very solemnly.
Shengxin hurriedly helped Mingxi up: "Don't thank me first, many of the princesses' families have no heirs or left Beijing, there are so many mansions in Kyoto, I can't afford a big mansion, but this kind of small mansion that is only two hundred times is still not a problem." β
Mingxi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and thanked him sincerely: "The kindness of Shengxin is unforgettable." β
After Shengxin showed Mingxi the mansion, he knew that it was not over yet, and he had to persuade his father to agree that Mingxi should leave the Konoe family independently.
Touched the gold and silver judgment in the bag, although it was a little painful, but this matter was taken down, and the Buddha must be sent to the west.
The next dayγKonoe Mansionγ
Shengxin finally met the person who haunted Mingxi's dreams, she was really a fair-skinned and beautiful woman, and her brows were slightly frowned, even more cute, no wonder she could charm Mingxi's guy.
Her name is Dora Tail Natsu, known as Ah Xia or Xia Ji, if she successfully marries Ming Xi, she must be called Xia Zi when she marries into the Gongqing's family, and the women of the martial family are mostly called Ji, and the women of the public family are called Zi.
Katsushin looked at the uncle Konoe Harutsu on the first seat without saying a word, and Konoe Mingxi and Xia Ji bowed their heads obediently together, not daring to raise their heads for a long time.
This strange atmosphere made Shengxin feel a headache, so he took the initiative to ask:
"I don't know how the Inner Mansion Hall has thought about it?"
Konoe Haru's anger has disappeared a lot after so many days, but one of his favorite sons is so rebellious that he is still very tired of seeing Tarao Natsuhime; If it weren't for Shengxin's face of sending a large bag of gold and silver, he would never let her enter the house.
According to Konoe Haruki's plan, the eldest son, Ie-sik, has married the daughter of the Sanjo tutor; The second son, Yuhisa, was passed on to the Tajima family as an adopted son, and the younger son Mingxi married his cousin Kuga Miyoko, and successfully inherited the Kuga clan, and with the help of the Kyoto Kuga clan and the Yamana family, it will be much smoother for him to become the Fujiwara elder in the clan.
But the rebel in front of him ruined all his plans.
If Katsushin knew that Konoe Harumi still had such a plan, he would have laughed out loud, what else did the current ministers have to fight for, when Ouchi Yoshitaka was alive, he invited the ministers to Zhou Fang, and the ministers in Kyoto rushed to go in order to eat and drink for nothing, and as a result, Ouchi Yoshitaka's retainer Tao Qingxian rebelled and took these ministers to the pot;
Tao Qingxian is like slaughtering a pig and slaughtering a dog, and you don't even look at which family you are from; Many of the ministers' families were directly extinct, and they barely kept their family names by relying on other families.
Katsushin saw that Konoe Harumi still didn't speak, so he added a fire and continued:
"The Konoe family is currently a thorn in the side of the Oda Dan main hall, although he is currently friendly with the ministers, and offers money and food to support the court, but as long as he is not pardoned for a long time, the Konoe family will never be able to settle down, Mingxi's independence from the Konoe family is also for Your Highness to reserve hope, even if there is any involvement in the future, it will not involve him, besides, Tofukuji and the Oda family are on good terms, if anything happens in the future, the next and the teacher will also do their best to help."
I'm sorry teacher, I pulled your tiger skin as a coat again, please forgive the disciple! Shengxin prayed in his heart that if he could be like the teacher, he could gather thousands of monks and soldiers with a wave of his hand, and he still had to talk nonsense with you here, alas! I don't know how long I'll have to wait for that day.
Konoe Haruti was also apprehensive at this time, when the Oda Army first entered Kyoto, he wantonly arrested the anti-Oda minister, and he was among them, but fortunately he found out that he did not collude with Konoe Maehisa before he was released, but his home was also raided by the Oda Army, and the already not wealthy family was even worse; He didn't want to face those unreasonable and vulgar warriors again.
Katsushin saw that Konoe Harumi's face changed several times, and knew that the time was almost up, so he stepped down the steps:
"Mingxi's marriage is undertaken by the new palace house, and there is no need for the inner palace to work, and Shengxin sincerely begs the inner palace to agree."
"Ahem! This..."
Konoe Qingtong saw that Shengxin gave face like this, so he got off the donkey down the slope: "Since Master Shengxin has such good intentions, if I stop it again, I will be a little ignorant." β
He looked at Mingxi and Xia Ji again: "Seeing that you two are in deep love, I won't be that wicked person, just ... That's it, I hope that in the future, you will not insult the lintel. β
"Obey your father's teachings."
Mingxi winked happily at Shengxin, Shengxin really helped him a lot, I don't know how to return this favor in the future?
After Katsushin and Mingxi and his party left the Konoe Mansion, they came directly to the new house in the spring road, although the house was a little messy due to the long-term uninhabited house, but Mingxi did not have any dislike, and he could see the happiness of liberation from the Konoe family in his eyes.
"This is the mansion of Kasuga Daisuke in the past, but Kasuga Daisuke was killed in the western country, and this mansion is empty, I bought it from the Bo family."
"The Bo family can actually sell the house of the spring family."
Mingxi was a little puzzled, Kasuga Daisuke was killed, but there were still wives and concubines and daughters at home, and besides, the Kasuga family was born in the Yulin family, so it was not the turn of the Bo family from the Tachibana family to deal with the family property!
Shengxin looked at Mingxi's puzzled look and replied:
"Eat no house!"
The dirty methods of these ministers to bully orphans and widows are not as glamorous as their skin.
Konoe Mingxi understands the meaning of Katsushin, human nature is always so greedy.
From today, the Kasuga Konoe family was born.!
