Chapter Twenty-Nine: Kicking the Pavilion and Smashing the Field, Megatron Kyoto (3)
The inside of the dojo is relatively large, and the wooden floor is shiny and spotless. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 In the middle of the info wall hangs the "Qi He" ink treasure written by the deputy, twenty disciples are dressed in white, with black belts around their waists, barefoot, standing in place and waving wooden swords, teaching them are the second master in the dojo, with a mustache, and the wooden sword is stationed to watch the martial arts practice. There is also an older master sitting in front of the screen in the middle and drinking tea. The four of them did not go any further, and the steps in front of them were full of clogs, and they had to take off their shoes to enter the dojo.
The second master recognized Tokugawa Hidetada, trotted over and bowed to the end, and the two had a conversation. The master also stood up and bowed to him. While they were talking, Song Ming translated for Nangong Yu. "He said that you have worked hard, welcome to the dojo to guide. Lord Xiuzhong said that you are not welcome, just take the guests to visit. ”
Speaking of this, the second master was about to bow to Nangong Yu, but seeing that he was a Han, he lowered his head half and raised it again. He frowned slightly. Song Ming continued to translate: "He asked why the guest was a Han and what was he here for?" Nangong Yu could hear that the second master's tone contained contempt for himself.
"Lord Xiuzhong said that the young master is also a person who practices martial arts, and among the younger generation of the Ming Dynasty, your martial arts are among the best. After saying this, the second master looked at Nangong Yu again, and said with a smile. This time, it was Tokugawa Hidetada who translated, and said: "He said that he wanted to understand the power of the masters of Middle-earth, and he wanted to challenge Nangong Jun." ”
Nangong Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not interested." Tokugawa Hidetada was stunned and said: "It's a great shame for us to refuse to fight, if Nangong Jun is worried that the sword has no eyes, I can let him use the wooden sword to fight." Nangong Yu said: "I'm here to visit, not to compete, I'm really not interested." After Tokugawa and Hideko looked at each other in surprise, Tokugawa translated Nangong Yu's words.
The second master, who was pretending to be polite, heard a sentence sharply. Song Ming translated: "He said he looked down on you, and said... Say you're a man who doesn't have the courage. Nangong Yuwan smiled and said, "I don't need him to look up to it, let's go visit somewhere else." He turned to leave. The second master spat at his back and said another word. Tokugawa Hidetada hurriedly translated: "He said that you are a coward, Nangong Jun still hasn't changed his mind?" Nangong Yu had already pulled the door and walked out.
The three of them had to come out with him, Tokugawa Hidetada felt that Nangong Yu had lost his face, his face was a little unsightly, and he said expressionlessly: "The street in front is a flower market, I'll bring... Take a look at the flower market in Toei. Nangong Yu felt the change in his tone, and he didn't care, and said, "Okay." Oda Hideko said angrily: "It's really boring, I'm quite disappointed in you." Nangong Yu didn't reply. They then enjoyed ikebana, visited tea tastings and several famous temples, and watched geisha and sumo wrestling performances.
In the evening, Tokugawa invited Nangong Yu to eat at an authentic sushi restaurant, and there are many other delicacies besides sushi. After eating, Tokugawa Hidetada smiled mysteriously: "Tomorrow night, I will take Nangong Jun to see the 'female body sheng' that only we Dongying have, and I guarantee that it will be a wonderful experience for Nangong Jun." Oda Hideko smiled: "I know that you men like these things, so I won't accompany you tomorrow night." Tokugawa Hidetada laughed and said, "If Miss Hideko likes it, I can ask someone to make a 'male body sheng' for you to enjoy." Oda Hideko sneered, "Okay, you have to pick a better one." ”
Tokugawa Xiuzhong said: "That's all for today's activities, is Nangong Jun still satisfied?" Nangong Yu said happily: "Satisfied, satisfied, hard work Brother Tokugawa." Oda Hideko said: "Hey, Tokugawa-kun, why did you forget an important event?" Tokugawa Hidetashi said: "What did I forget?" Hideko said: "It's a good season to enjoy cherry blossoms, tonight everyone went to the 'Sakura Shrine' to pray for blessings, why did you forget?" Tokugawa suddenly said: "Oh! Yes! We went every year when we were young, but now that we are older, we go less, and this time I should accompany Nangong Jun to relive our childhood memories." ”
The cherry blossom shrine is famous for its cherry blossoms, and the pink cherry blossoms flutter like snowflakes in the breeze, giving rise to a poignant sense of desolation. The people are dressed in costumes and strolling along the street under the cherry blossom trees, and there are beautiful girls with paper umbrellas, which are full of cherry blossoms, of course, the paper umbrellas are not rainproof, but just a decoration. Where there are many people, there are many merchants, and the roadside is full of all kinds of vendors.
The shrine was at the end of Sakura Road, and there was a long line in front of the door, and the four of them waited for half an hour for their turn. They first went to the pool in front of the shrine and scooped up the wooden spoon to clean their hands. The shrine is a unique product of Toei, and it is dedicated to the god Amaterasu of his country, and Tokugawa took them to donate incense money, clapped his hands three times, and after saluting, he said, "You can ask for a lot." Then he and Song Ming both asked for a sign and asked about the future, and the witch replied that it was a good sign.
Hideko asked for a marriage sign, and the witch looked at it and smiled: "The girl will get married in the near future." Hideko was surprised: "Recently, I don't even have a partner." The witch laughed but did not answer. Tokugawa smiled: "Congratulations, Hideko, you're finally getting married." Hideko scolded: "you, I'm curious who will marry me." As he spoke, he looked at Nangong Yu and said with a smile: "If you pursue me now, it may be too late." Nangong Yu smiled lightly: "I have a family background. ”
Tokugawa Hidetada's expression moved, and he said: "Nangong Jun is a descendant of the Ming royal family, and Miss Hideko is the daughter of the Oda Gate Valve, which is exactly the same pair." Nangong Jun wants to gain a foothold in Dongying, and there is nothing easier than marrying the daughter of the gate valve. Nangong Yugan laughed twice and did not speak. Hideko looked at his expression and said disdainfully: "I'm just joking casually, you guys are still serious." People are the royal orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, so they naturally look down on our small families. Nangong Yu didn't want to argue with her, so he went to ask for a signature, and took one casually and handed it to the witch, and Song Ming translated for him: "Ask about the future." The witch glanced at his sign, was stunned for a moment, raised her head and carefully examined Nangong Yu's face, then bowed her head and bowed, and got up without saying anything.
Nangong Yuqi said: "What does this mean?" Tokugawa Hidetada shook his head and expressed puzzlement. They didn't take it too seriously, and after leaving the shrine, both Tokugawa and Hideko said goodbye one after another. The master and servant of Nangong walked on the way back, at this time many pedestrians dispersed, in addition to the beautiful cherry blossoms on the ground, there was also garbage after the event, Song Ming said casually: "It's so messy again, tomorrow the people in the 'slave village' will be tired again." Nangong Yuqi said: "What slave village?" Song Ming said: "The Han people who were captured by the Japanese were all imprisoned together, and they usually did some chores, and they were regarded as slaves by the Dongying people. ”
Nangong Yu's face changed color and said, "Where?" take me there." Song Ming secretly blamed himself for talking too much, and said, "There's nothing to see, let's go back early." Nangong Yu stopped, looked at him and said, "Take me there." Song Ming knew that there was no room for negotiation as soon as he saw his eyes, so he had to say: "That place is outside the city, and the villain will lead the way." ”
The two of them went all the way out of the north gate, and after walking two miles up a hillside, they saw a small village in the depression below. There was not a single house in the village, only piles of dilapidated tents, about four or five hundred people lived, and the valley was brightly lit, and more than thirty ronin warriors gathered together to drink and laugh, and their voices were so loud that they were not afraid to disturb the sleeping slaves. The slaves had been working all day, and now they couldn't sleep soundly.
Song Ming said: "It's here, there's nothing to see." Nangong Yu felt sour in his heart, his compatriots were slaves here, but he was a guest, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.
