In the twelfth lunar month, the north wind howls, and the frozen blizzards from the North Sea of Japan blow to the mountains in Echigo Uonuma County and are blocked. The cold air is accumulated north of the mountains and accumulates into blizzards. No matter how dry the year is, Echigo
We have to face such a blizzard every winter, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
The snowstorm that only lasted a few days dropped more than a foot of snow on Naoetsu Port. The treetops were so thick with snow that the branches were bent. The rivers were frozen and the roads were blocked, causing land transportation in Echigo to be temporarily suspended.
Fortunately, the Kira family has perfected the development of junior high waterways. Several large rivers and tributaries cover 60% of the land in Echigo, so there is no risk of disrupting logistics.
Standing on Kasugayama Castle is the best place to enjoy the snow scenery. Standing here, you can overlook the spectacular scene of thousands of lights under the mountain. Especially in this season, the whole world seems to be connected into a silver-white world, such as Hosokawa Fujitaka, Matsui Yu
Xian loves you, Nangang Toutou, Honda Toki is waiting for the intellectuals. During this season, he likes to sit in the pavilion in the city, prepare a few drinks and dishes, and set up a few hand-warming stoves to warm the wine, chant poems and enjoy the snowy scenery. It is like the Wei, Jin and Tang Dynasties.
The literati of the Song Dynasty were high-end, elegant and fresh.
For Yoshitoki Kira, this winter seems to be extremely long. He spends almost every day on the York with this charming little goblin. In just over a month, they are as inseparable as a couple. Claudia is not brave enough either.
He was of average size, and he dared to put his arms around Kiragi's neck and kiss him wetly in front of John Hawkins. He was really the envy of you and me.
Claudia's figure is probably the best among the women Kiragi has ever seen. She must be over 1.75 meters tall, with a slim waist, two long legs and an amazingly long butt.
Not big but very straight, the most noticeable thing is the surprisingly plump pair of headlights on her chest, which is much plumper than a tiger girl who just gave birth.
Torahime and her sister Aya Princess are both considered to have plumper breasts among the Echigo girls. The most rare thing is that these two sisters not only have plump breasts, but also maintain slender waists and limbs. Especially Torahime has been rich in nutrition in recent years.
The two lumps of soft flesh on the chest have been filled in. Just after giving birth, the size has expanded to one size closer than before. But it is still slightly worse than Claudia's.
It was really nice to be with Claudia all day long, but my body, which had been hardened for a long time, was a little unable to hold on. It happened to be the end of the year, so Kira Yoshitoki took advantage of the opportunity of a big evaluation meeting to get away.
Come on, if I was really held back by this crazy little foreign girl, I would probably be drained of my body if I didn't have him for a few months.
When she returned to the Kasuga Imperial Palace, she happened to see a group of women coming back from Tingyuyuan. Behind them were a large group of wet nurses and maids, each holding their own young master and princess. When Hu Ji saw him, she seemed to be surprised and said: "This is not our long-lost one."
Husband? He lost his soul after finding a Southern Barbarian girl outside, and left us women and children at home without any care, so that the children woke up in the middle of the night and clamored to see their father, but no one could be found!"
Kiragi was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. Several women covered their mouths and chuckled and refused to speak for their husbands. Kiragi knew that Torahime was sulking at him and left his beloved wife alone.
The beautiful family ignored him, but went to Naoji Port to find a Nanman woman. The story of him taking a Nanman woman on a sightseeing tour in that month had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Echigo, from the lords of the Nao country to the common people of Li.
Everyone is telling this legendary story.
In the eyes of the retainers and the people, this is a celebrity anecdote that they like to see, but in the eyes of the women in the courtyard, it is not necessarily a good thing. The origin of this southern barbarian woman is unknown and her roots are unknown. How she hooked up with Kiragi is still a question, what if this
What should the Nanman women do if they have malicious intentions? The women are worried that their men will take away their souls and destroy the warm and harmonious family atmosphere that has been finally built.
Of course, Hu Ji was worried that this man in her family could not be restrained. Over the years, she had watched one beautiful little girl come into the house one after another. To say that she was always happy in her heart was definitely to deceive herself. No matter how generous a woman is, she would eventually have someone.
Limitation. Even if Kira Yoshitomo's original intention remains unchanged and he still treats Torahime sincerely, Kiragi Toshi's embrace will inevitably leave the royal wife in the cold.
That's why Tingyuyuan came into being. This was an idea that came up accidentally during the chat between Hu Ji and Princess Aya. The original intention was to pass the leisure time when there was no husband around. Under the operation of Princess Aya, it was quickly given another level.
Meaning, adding the wives of retainers who stayed in Kasugayama Castle into this circle is equivalent to completely erasing the popular attribute of sending wives and daughters as "hostages" during the Warring States Period. To some extent, it has become a good means to blur the boundaries between monarch and ministers and ease the relationship.
Several wives of the family elders joined in, which also showed that the important officials in the family highly recognized this circle. Hu Ji was very excited that she could do something meaningful for her husband, so she ran another one in Tingyuyuan.
The network of connections can also dispel her resentment towards Kira Yoshitoshi for marrying more women.
But this southern barbarian woman was different from the good-natured woman the matchmaker was marrying. Her origins were unknown and her parentage was a mystery. She suddenly became obsessed with Kiragi, making this family-loving man stay away from home for months. All of the above aggravated her feelings for Kiragi.
I am worried that I will inevitably feel resentful when I see my husband whom I haven’t seen for several months again.
Kira Yoshi smiled awkwardly: "Ahem! When I went on a military expedition, didn't I not go home for half a year? Well, don't talk so much, it's still snowing! Let's talk in the house first."
Hu Ji just said this and then kept her mouth shut. One complaint was enough to express her attitude. Any more would be interpreted as temper tantrums and resentment. There was no need to dwell on the past when her husband came back. She gently put aside all her complaints and dissatisfaction.
After returning to the room for dinner, Kiragi gave more comfort to the ladies and praised the children one after another, which finally brought smiles to the faces of the women.
Yoshino sat on the stool embarrassedly with a big belly. Eight months pregnant, it was no longer convenient to sit on the floor. Kira Yoshi was planning to advocate the habit of using seats and wooden windows at home. It happened that several ladies in the family had just given birth to children.
Even though she was expecting a baby, he renovated the restaurant in the name of taking care of his wife, replacing the ordinary tatami mats with thickened wooden floors, and replacing them with an Eight Immortals table and a Taishi chair for sitting down and dining.
Although the tradition of sharing meals is still maintained, it has gradually changed from the traditional Japanese meal sharing system of pickled radish and white rice to the European customary meal sharing system. The meals are not fixed like a bento, but the food is
Cook it and put it on the table. You can use another set of cutlery to help yourself if you need to eat.
After a heartwarming meal, the harmonious atmosphere of talking and laughing between the couple returned to the past. In the evening, Kiragi stayed in Hu Ji's room, hugged the familiar woman in his arms and whispered: "Two months."
I'm really sorry for not going home. I didn't mean to do this to you and the children. There is indeed something else behind this behavior. In my heart, you and the children always come first. I promise to never do it again and hope you can
understanding."
Hu Ji sighed quietly: "Is that Nanman woman beautiful?"
"……pretty."
"Is she good to you?"
"Fortunately!" Kira Yoshihi coughed and said: "This woman will leave soon. Her hometown is thousands of miles away. She is here to discuss business cooperation with my Ashikaga family. She will not enter the house or
It is directly related to you, and in short, her existence will not affect our lives."
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this Southern Barbarian woman who has become His Highness's wife and wants to leave His Highness and go back to her hometown? Hu Ji doesn't quite understand." Hu Ji stared at her big round eyes, unable to imagine a woman dedicating her body to a man.
A man can resolutely leave this man. This is not in line with the traditional Eastern ethical relationship, let alone the rules of the martial arts family.
The ethical values and values of the East and the West are completely different. They are not in the same system at all, so there is no possibility of compatibility. The Japanese samurai society adheres to a traditional ethical culture similar to "if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog." Of course,
The culture of the public ministers in the earlier Heian period was really weird, and the level of promiscuity in the relationship between men and women was no less than that in the European feudal era.
However, the decadent era of ministers has long gone, replaced by the shogunate era that was fought with swords and blood. One of the characteristics of the samurai society is that it has a strict system and a strict class system. It is this era that women
Completely under the rule of men, this is a purely male-dominated era similar to the Chinese imperial dynasty.
In Hu Ji's eyes, women are born to be dominated by men. Before getting married, they obey the arrangements of their father and brother and marry a man they don't know at all for various political reasons or various absurd reasons, and then give birth to a legitimate son for this man.
To carry on the family line, this is a standard arranged marriage. Under the shadow of this kind of arranged marriage, there are too few cases where the so-called eternal luxury of love, such as monkey and Ningning, and family-friendly and loose.
We can't blame Hu Ji for her understanding. When she was a child, she was considered a deviant little girl. She wielded swords, wielded guns, rode horses, and shot arrows to kill people. She was doing the same things that Ba Yuqian and Ban'e Yuqian did. But in this era,
It is not the Genpei and Kamakura periods when women’s rights were relatively strong, but the Muromachi period when male rights were fully formed and gradually strengthened.
Her actions were criticized by some voices, but it was not until she was tutored by Princess Aya in recent years that she gave birth to three children in succession, and her mind gradually settled down before she returned to "orthodoxy". It can be regarded as a classic example of an ancient version of a bad girl reforming her evil ways.
If you have yourself as an example, you will inevitably feel puzzled by this even more bizarre Southern Barbarian woman.
Kira Yoshishi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This may be a bit troublesome to explain. It may be because of different customs! Her hometown is a different cultural system. Her persistence is completely incomprehensible to us, and our lives are also for her.
It’s a ridiculous and bizarre story, and that woman’s character… really can’t be measured by the rules of our martial arts family!”
