There were many slaves and maidservants in the house, and after two courtyards, I saw seven or eight maidservants and servants.

Gao Shisheng often went back and forth to the Sister Road Pavilion before he got married, and he was very familiar with the museum.

After all, this is the house of the other party's father-in-law, even if the governor is there in person, he must abide by the etiquette of the guests, Kamohara Shiqing explained, "The lord held a tea ceremony here, and there were not enough slaves and maids in the mansion, so he brought some manpower from the palace. ”

There are also female dependents in the sister road hall, in order to avoid suspicion that the Imagawa clan and his party do not stay in the center, but gather in a side courtyard, the two walk straight along a stone road, wide and flat, enough to accommodate several people in parallel. Both sides of the stone road are planted with willow hanging strips.

Walking along the stone path and passing through the middle gate, you will be greeted by the garden where the Imagawa clan used to sit and relax.

To the left of the courtyard is an attic and to the right is a high platform, connected by a cloister.

The loft is three stories high and steep, with a castle tower roof and windows on all sides. At both ends of the top ridge are decorated with the sun wheel pattern plate and the moon ring pattern plate of the sister road house, making a relative reflection. The building is snow-white, and the door is brown. Outside the building, there are stairs leading into the building, and there are platforms on each floor.

In spring and summer, it can be used for people to stand on the top and overlook the scenery of the city by the railing; In autumn and winter, rain and snow, because there is a rungs on the lookout, people can also gather to sit and drink.

This attic was built for the Imagawa clan to wander around; The high platform on the right is where the tea ceremony is held and the chanting is held. In addition to the free general invitation of 200 people launched by Junfu, there were also various building materials donated by wealthy merchants in the city before and after, which took one and a half months to build.

"Shinjiuro, the Lord is just drinking in the pavilion, you and I will go over here."

Following the direction of Puyuan Shiqing, Gao Shisheng saw that in the pavilion by the lake in the courtyard, there were several people drinking under the pavilion. He said, "That's right, you and I should go over quickly." ”

Kamohara Shiqing and Gao Shisheng untied the Taidao and Wakicha they had with them, and handed them to the handsome servants who had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time.

The pavilion is a four-cornered roof, with a platform and a built-in couch. Surrounded by cherry blossom flowers. It's early spring, and the cherries are gorgeous, purple and red, and the breeze is blowing, making the whole pavilion fragrant and fragrant.

Although it is not night, the lights are lit early, and the whole courtyard is as bright as day.

The two ministers were playing chess against each other, and one of them, a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes and jade lips, was lying on the couch with his head on his hand. From Gao Shisheng's angle, it can be seen that he has no crown, exudes, and behaves freely, as if he is above many handsome waiters, and the evening breeze in the pavilion is cool, so he wears a crane robe on top of his small-sleeved Tang robe.

This beautiful young man seems to be only twenty-eight years old, but he is Gao Shisheng's wife, brother and sister.

The rest of the person who played against him, another slightly older person, was Imagawa Shinya. This Imagawa Uesuke is also outstanding in appearance, with extraordinary manners, and he also wears a hunting robe, a black hat, and a silk silk on his feet, sitting cross-legged and softened, holding a jade plate and wine cup in his left hand, thinking about the lyrics and songs with his eyes closed, and kneeling beside the couch of several beautiful maids playing drum music to respond to the song.

This kind of elegance is combined with the chess game and the song, the participants not only have to think about the chess in their hands, but also need to recite the song every time they move, and then the opponent needs to find the corresponding words and poems for the next move, and there are also time restrictions, because the words and sentences are mostly used in the chapters and sentences of ancient and modern poetry collections, which is a great test of the cultural heritage of the chess player.

Accompanied by the music, Gao Shisheng and Kamihara Shiqing walked to the pavilion. The maids saw them coming and wanted to stop the music.

Gao Shisheng waved his hand and motioned for them to continue, so as not to disturb this game of elegant chess.

Living in Junfu City for many years, influenced by the elegance of Dongshan, even Gao Shisheng, who is not good at words, can also hear the maids playing the pipa shaft plucked strings, noisy and cut, when it is the music of the thunder god in the "Ten Thousand Leaves Collection".

The strings are melodious, and the two of them sing euphemistically. This time, it was Imagawa Shin who was the first to fall, and he quietly fell and recited the poem "The cuckoo is hateful, and it does not cry at the right time; The oranges have withered, but they are still whining. ”

The reaction to the public scene of the song's sister path can be called a complaint, blurting out without thinking, "The cuckoo vibrates the feathers, and the feathers touch the flowers; The vine wave flower seems to be in full bloom. ”

However, among the 'anti-poems' held by the Nara literary circle, the two most famous "Cuckoo Lamentations" correspond to one singing and one harmony.

In addition to chanting love poems in his life, the Otomo family has suffered from gains and losses in his life as a eunuch, and has suffered from climbing to the Tachibana brothers and the Fujiwara clan, and many of his works reflect his career experience. Therefore, he wrote many songs with the themes of rhododendrons, oranges, and vines.

The cuckoo symbolizes the migratory bird that pursues happiness, the "orange" represents the orange brothers, and the "vine" represents the Fujiwara clan.

The princess is elegant and self-pitying, and pays attention to open-mindedness. It is because the performance of these two is mostly informal, paying attention to doing what you want, and you don't care if what you do will cause others to be surprised, so it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference.

This is the case with the Imagawa clan and the sister Koji Gongjing, who talked about the sexual strengths, and even Gao Shisheng, who came to see him, left them aside and ignored them.

It stands to reason that the Imagawa clan should have attracted the admonition of the important ministers in the family if they were so dissolute, but in fact, although the old ministers such as Asahina Taino and Gao Shiguo were a little dissatisfied with the family governor's indulgence in the elegance of the minister, their ability in civil affairs was quite good.

Imagawa Shin has been in charge of government affairs for several years, whether it is inspecting the Yuanjiang River or presiding over the inspection of land and land; or promulgate a city order to strengthen the unification of Junfu; In the battle of Imagawa Yoshimoto's capture of Mikawa Province, he stayed behind in Sunfu Castle and was fully responsible for logistics and supplies.

These exploits are obvious to all, and the only thing missing is to go out alone to destroy a big name, but this is not a shortcoming, after all, Junfu is not one of those small wealthy families in the countryside who are precarious and will fall at any time.

Therefore, the whole of the Sunfu believed that the Imagawa clan's fondness for elegant ways such as keju, renge, and tea art was not a vice, but a proof of talent, and with a little sharpening, it was enough to dominate the East China Sea.

This game is not long, and after more than 30 rounds of back and forth games, the recited songs have changed from short sentences to long songs, during which the two people who played against each other have not been distracted at all, and Gao Shisheng waited patiently.

After the sister Xiaolu Gongjing sang another song, Imagawa really closed his eyes and was speechless, he raised the jade plate wine cup, drank it all, threw it on the ground, sat up straight, and then opened his eyes and roared, "The ferry boat is coming to the spring rain, and the umbrella on the boat is high." If you want to win a game of Tsuru Chiyo, it is more difficult and dangerous than presiding over the evaluation meeting, and the main hall is not as good as more. ”
