As the oldest political and cultural center in Japan, Kyoto has been polished by the wind and frost, and has experienced vicissitudes of life. It has a strong historical heritage, but it also exudes a strange peaceful atmosphere, which is complex and charming. Then if Tokyo represents Japan
On the modern side, noisy and impetuous, Kyoto Prefecture represents the Chinese Tang style copied from the traditional side of Japan.
It is very obvious that the streets are horizontal and vertical, and the towns and districts are very neat. The legacy of the village system is very strong. Under this strong Tang style, there are 700,000 households, with a total population of 1.5 million, 810,000
Residential buildings, thirty-eight universities, two hundred museums and art galleries, eight hundred shrines, and one thousand seven hundred temples.
The Baima Temple branch of the Baima family is one of these 1,700 temples.
In Japan, temple is a general term, but it should actually be divided into temples and courtyards.
The main temple is the main place, which is the real place for worshiping Buddha; the courtyard is the secondary one, which is either surrounded or intertwined with the temple. It is the residence of eminent monks and great virtues, or the place where important people retreat to practice Buddhism.
Specifically speaking to the Baima family, the temple is the "business" place and the "store" of their family. Baima Ningzi's father works there, and the courtyard is where their family lives. One of the courtyards is where their family lives.
, there are many other courtyards or guest rooms for tourists, both men and women, or training courses, or simply places to play.
Of course, the Baima family has more than just the temple.
There is a pedestrian street in front of the temple. There are various shops on both sides of the street, which are all owned by their family (leased to others to operate). Moreover, the White Horse Temple branch is built on the mountain. The small north mountain behind it also belongs to their family. Beside the mountain
The small lake is also their home. In addition, there are many cemeteries nearby and the area is also very large.
Qianhara Rinto is now standing in front of the gate of the Hakuba Temple branch, which is also the door of Hakuba Ningzi's home. The only thing that feels like it is how big it is!
There is a pagoda in the temple, which is the core of the temple, and then various worship halls are located around it. Temples built in the Tang Dynasty liked this pattern, and on the outside is the courtyard surrounded by mountains. The background is mountains, with red maple leaves and light mist steaming on the mountains.
, there seems to be a hot spring.
Hakuba Ningzi was about to lead them in when she noticed Chihara Rinto's gaze. She also looked at the red maple leaves and couldn't help but smile: "Chihara-kun, you may see 'early snow and red leaves' this year!"
In spring, "Hanami" is for cherry blossom viewing, and in autumn, there is "Red Leaf Hunting". The best season for viewing red leaves is now past, from late September to early December, but at the end of December, the red leaves are still burning as hard as they can before they wither.
In life, it is possible to meet the first snow, which is also a rare sight.
Japanese culture likes fragile and poignant things, and adding a little morbidity would be even better. Hayayuki Momiji satisfies this condition, and Chihara Rinto was not surprised. He just smiled and said: "If you are lucky enough to see it, of course it will be great!"
Bai Ma Ningzi smiled slightly, said nothing, and led them into the temple gate.
The autumn season of 1997 is over, and this year has come to an end. The Taiga drama script has not been written out yet. Chihara Rinto came to Hakuba's house as promised, but he brought a group of followers with him. The first disciple Michiko and the second disciple Konoe
Hitomi, as well as Yamagami Aiko, Nishino Kirisa and Futamae Seiko who were also invited.
And the rest of them followed Hakuba Neiko and walked inside. After entering the temple gate that was hung with lanterns, they turned left towards a courtyard. Konoe Hitomi was carrying gifts brought by Chihara Rinto in large and small bags.
, looking around all the way, I found that this place was simple, solemn, harmonious and elegant. I immediately became cautious and whispered to Miqianzi: "I didn't expect Sister Ningzi's family to be so big and rich."
She felt that this temple was half the size of her village. It was truly a wealthy family that she had never seen before, while Michienko pursed her lips and remained silent while holding the gift.
She really didn't expect that Hakuba Ningzi, who usually dressed soberly, turned out to be a hidden giant. Not to mention the temple and other buildings, even if they were all razed, the land was worth a lot of money. I guess I could buy someone like her.
Hundreds of little girls!
The better the condition of Bai Ma Ningzi, for some reason, the more uncomfortable she felt, and now she was not interested in chatting after following him.
The three people, Mountain God Aiko, who were two steps behind her, were also quite surprised. Aiko knew that Hakuba's family was not ordinary rich. Her mother and Ningzi's mother were cousins. They had heard family members talk about it, but seeing it with their own eyes, it was still...
I was shocked to hear that it was better to see it with my own eyes. Before I came here, I couldn’t imagine how profound Bai Ma Ning’s heritage was.
Kirisa Nishino, the follower who had come with the honor, looked around curiously, then looked at Rinto Chihara who was walking side by side with Ningzi Hakuba at the front, and sighed in a low voice: "Wow, Teacher Chihara is so lucky.
You get both wealth and wealth! Look at his smile, his teeth are exposed."
Mountain God Aiko agreed very much: "He really got a big advantage."
Two years ago, Shengzi was very happy to come with him. This is a trip with idols. Most people don't have this opportunity. But after hearing the words of the two good friends, he immediately said dissatisfied: "Don't talk nonsense, they really love each other."
She never wavered when it came to protecting her idols, but Aiko immediately retorted: "I didn't say they didn't really love each other, but Teacher Qianhara just got a big deal. Look here, all eight achievements will be returned in the future."
He got it."
"Teacher Qianyuan doesn't care about these vulgar things!"
"Without worldly things, will he starve to death?"
…
They started arguing in low voices behind them. Neiko Hakuba and Rinto Chihara in front of them didn't notice. As they were talking, they arrived at a small courtyard on the side of the temple, where Neiko Hakuba's mother Mizueda was waiting in a fursode kimono.
The distinguished guest bowed from a distance and said: "Welcome, you have had a hard journey."
Tokyo is not far from Kyoto, but the end of the year coincides with the "Great Migration of Nationalities" during the Spring Festival in Japan. Chihara Rinto brought a bunch of followers with him. There were so many people that he even chartered a minibus to come there. It went straight to the door without being picked up at the station, so Mitsue
It is not rude to welcome you here, it is also very formal. The temple gate is the business place, and this can also be said to be the home gate.
Qianhara Rinto quickly returned the courtesy: "Excuse me, Mrs. Hakuba."
Meijinzhi looked at him happily and said with a smile: "No need to use honorifics anymore, just call me auntie." The fact that his rebellious daughter can bring him home can already explain a lot of problems.
Of course Qianhara Rinto was obedient to this kind of thing, and immediately climbed up along the pole, being more agile than a monkey: "Auntie, I'm going to cause you trouble in the next few days."
"It's nothing." Mizueda's mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him. But Hakuba Ningzi saw that they were done with their politeness, and chuckled from the side: "Mom, I'm back."
Mizue's eyes immediately turned to her, her eyebrows slightly raised, her expression a bit stern, but Hakuba Ningzi didn't care, she just smiled gently, with a posture like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, and at the same time she looked particularly docile and elegant, which was hard to find.
Get angry at her.
But Qianhara Rinto saw that something was wrong, and immediately changed the subject and introduced Mitsuae: "By the way, these are my two disciples. Please interrupt me during this time."
Michiko and Hitomi Konoe put down their gifts and bowed together: "Hello, I am Michiko (Hitomi Konoe). This is our first meeting. Please take good care of me."
Mizueda had naturally been notified, and it was quite common for Chihara Rinto, as a great screenwriter, to have several disciples in Japan. She was not surprised. She looked at Michiko and Konoe Hitomi carefully and said with a smile: "Welcome to you.
There is no need to be constrained here, just treat it as your own home."
Michiko saluted again, but said nothing, but Hitomi Konoe said obediently: "Yes, thank you."
After Chihara Rinto introduced his disciples, Hakuba Ningzi immediately introduced the three of Yamagami Aiko. These three people were also very polite. They saluted and said hello together. Mitsuae also expressed his welcome, especially holding the Yamagami Aiko's hand.
The hands are very affectionate.
Hakuba Ningzi disobeyed her arrangement and ran away directly. If she hadn't had some idea and knew that she was staying at a distant relative's house and hadn't gone missing, she would have been ten times more worried! The last time she went to Tokyo to meet Chihara Rinto, she went
I visited Yamagami Aiko's house and thanked her very much. Now that Yamagami Aiko came to play, she naturally had to entertain him well and return favors to distant relatives. She and Yamagami Aiko's mother were cousins, and they didn't marry in the same place.
, we have rarely seen each other for so many years.
After the two parties finished their polite greetings in front of the courtyard, Mizue quickly took them into the courtyard and said with a smile: "The place to live is ready, and it is relatively quiet here. There may be some lack of hospitality. If you need anything, please tell me immediately."
The yard is not big, with white gray tiles. There is an island of green space in the yard, and there is a stone with a simple shape on the island. There are two or three larger stones of the same material standing in the corner of the yard, and there is a half-dead pine tree next to it.
The courtyard is full of wild charm and elegance.
The houses are two Japanese-style longhouses with white walls and gray tiles, but they are made of wood. They are less than 20 centimeters above the ground to prevent moisture. There are also wooden corridors. You can easily appreciate the courtyard by opening the silk sliding doors.
It is equally convenient to enjoy the beautiful scenery, enjoy the moon and enjoy the wind.
Mitsue pointed to the long house and asked: "Qianhara-kun and your disciples will live in the one on the left, and Aiko-chan and her classmates will live in the one on the right. How about this? They are all three rooms."
The three of them, Yamagami Aiko, had no objection, but Chihara Rinto was a little hesitant, this... shouldn't I live with Ningzi? We don't have to sleep together, it's always better for everyone to be closer, right? Anyway, there are so many rooms, give it to Ningzi
It's not enough for those five little guys to squeeze into one room.
It was his first time as a guest, so he was too embarrassed to ask, so he could only smile and say, "I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Meijinzhi looked at him and smiled and said: "It's nothing, just treat this place as your own home." After a pause, she added: "There is a religious ceremony today. Ningzi's father is not busy. You can put your luggage first and take a rest.
let's have dinner tonight."
Chihara Rinto responded with a smile, and Mitsue no longer disturbed them, and took her daughter away directly, asking Ningzi to help her prepare the dishes. Ningzi did not resist, but just winked at Chihara Rinto and followed.
Mom is very docile from behind.
Chihara Rinto looked at Ningzi's back and regretted that he couldn't say a few words to Ningzi in the car. Except for Michiko and Seiko, the other three all liked to quarrel and kept pestering Ningzi asking questions about Kyoto.
What a fun place, now everyone can get out of here after a long time, Ningzi was kidnapped by her mother again, it’s really hard to get together!
He sighed secretly and waved his hand: "Pick your own room to put your luggage, don't even run around!"
Now on December 28th, they are going to stay here for a week. They brought a lot of clothes and daily necessities without mentioning gifts, so they put away what they should. Mountain God Aiko and three people immediately responded
After making a sound, they rushed to the long house on the right. Hitomi Konoe and Michiko became humble to each other and began to discuss who should live in which room in the middle. The room in the middle was slightly larger for Master to live in. The two of them were divided.
These two disciples are very independent, so Qianhara Rinto didn't need to worry about them. He took off his shoes in the wooden corridor, carried his luggage and entered the room. After looking around, he found that the Hakuba family was indeed not a nouveau riche, and there was a sense of integrity everywhere.
The word "elegant", but behind the word "elegant" is money. The calligraphy and painting look a bit old. They are obviously not high-end goods and cannot be cheap.
The bonsai also looks extraordinary. It must have been made by a famous artist. Even the tatami under the feet is made of fine rushes and feels like a wool carpet when you step on it.
He looked at it briefly and threw the luggage bag directly into the closet until it was needed. Then he put a lot of books he had brought on the table and thought that the Baima family would definitely entertain them formally if they had nothing to do for the time being.
Once, it was time for them to rest and wash up, and they also prepared some food. But he was young and didn't feel tired after riding for most of the day, so he just continued to think about his script.
It was not easy to choose a topic for the Dahe drama, so he had to read the book carefully and think about it carefully.
He sat down at the kotatsu, which was a small square table with an electric heater attached to the back of the table. He then covered himself with a quilt and sat on the floor in front of the table, so that his lower body could be warmed.
The climate in Japan is not very good, with pollinosis + plum rain in the spring, sweltering heat + typhoons in the summer, extremely dry autumn, and very wet and cold winters. The winters are all supported by this thing, and it was also copied from China.
He got into the kotatsu and found that it was indeed quite comfortable. He regretted slightly that the kotatsu was not preserved in China, and then turned his attention to the book. After waiting for more than twenty minutes, light footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
, his two disciples came hand in hand.
Michiko saw him sitting in the kotatsu and asked strangely: "Master, have you packed up?"
Chihara Rinto replied casually: "It's packed."
Hitomi Konoe had a wild temper and didn't talk about personal privacy. He went directly to the closet and opened the door to take a look. He found the luggage bag lying in it and shouted directly: "I guess that's it, Master, you are really good."
Slovenly."
"This is called informality."
"You're just too lazy to hang up your clothes one by one, right?"
"You don't have to worry about it, just leave it alone."
Of course, Konoe Hitomi and Michiko couldn't listen to him about this kind of thing, so they started to help him pick up daily necessities and hang clothes. Chihara Rinto didn't pack this luggage himself, it was packed for him by Mita Tomohisa, and he didn't pay much attention to it in the first place.
Those who can push these things to others never want to do it themselves.
They were busy for more than ten minutes. When the work was finished, Michiko made tea again, and sat in the kotatsu with Hitomi Konoe. She looked at Rinto Chihara frowning and flipping through the book, writing and drawing in the notebook from time to time.
After staying like this in silence for four or five minutes, Konoe Hitomi couldn't help it anymore. He stretched out his head and asked in a low voice: "Master, will this place be yours from now on? Can I move in here?"
For her to live here for a long time, she is willing to do it, which is a hundred times better than the apartment she rented.
Michiko frowned, and Chihara Rinto raised his head and glanced at Konoe Hitomi. You are really thick-skinned. He said angrily: "This belongs to the Hakuba family and has nothing to do with us."
"But don't you plan to marry sister Ningzi?"
"What I want is her person, not her property."
"You are just greedy for her body, but sister Ningzi is an only daughter. Does this make any difference?"
"Of course, if I can choose, I would rather she be so poor that she doesn't even have a place to live! Also, what does it mean to be greedy for her body? What I want is her heart!" This is Qianhara Rinto's true thoughts.
, if Ningzi was helpless, pitiful and helpless, she would have fallen into his clutches long ago, and there would be no need for such procrastination. But as soon as he finished speaking, Michienko took her little feet in the kotatsu and started kicking him lightly.
.
Qianyuan Rinto looked up in surprise and found Hakuba Ningzi standing at the door with a smile. He felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know how much she heard, but Ningzi didn't care and said with a smile: "Qianyuan-kun, have you packed up? You can prepare for dinner.
