Time passed quickly, and before you knew it, it was December 10th, Yu Qiuping’s birthday as he claimed. Yu Qiuping had been traveling between two places these days. Although he was very busy, it was very fulfilling, and he had gradually grown up.
Forget that you do not belong to this era.
"The little girl asked me about my birthday in a sneaky way, maybe she wanted to prepare a gift for me." Yu Qiuping thought of Imagawa Kaede's shy look at that time, and a smile crept up to the corner of his mouth.
"Chibei, I have to go back to Junfu today." Yu Qiuping packed his luggage, "When I am not in the territory, I will leave all the affairs in the territory to you.
"As you command, my lord." the guard replied.
"Where is Nanosuke? Why didn't you see him?" Yu Qiuping asked.
"Nanosuke got up early in the morning to practice martial arts and went out before dawn." Chibei said, "Since I saw that kid, he has been working so hard every day. He will definitely be successful in the future."
"Haha, that level of energy is almost the same as that of Charlie." Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "Speaking of which, does Charlie have a good time getting along with everyone?"
Chibei hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not very good."
"Apart from the fact that he has known me for a long time and is relatively familiar with him," Jianbingwei adjusted his blindfold, "he hardly communicates with other people. He just practices archery by himself every day. We usually drink together at night, and he never
Not participating.”
"If you have time, please help me coordinate." Yu Qiuping said.
"As you command, my lord." Heibei replied still respectfully.
"Also, please help me with the production of craftsmen. Also keep an eye on the training of Ashigaru." Yu Qiuping thought for a while and added, "The most important thing is the formulation and implementation of laws.
, those temporary judges may not be very skilled, please help me when you have time."
"As you command, my lord." The guard bowed and said.
Yu Qiuping glanced at the soldiers and guards and suddenly laughed, "I found that the thing you said to me the most was to obey my orders."
"My lord." The guard also smiled, "My lord, I will try my best to fulfill the orders given by my lord."
"Every time it's a troublesome thing that I'm too lazy to do, it's all for you," Yu Qiuping said guiltily, "Isn't it too tiring?"
"I swear that I will follow you for the rest of my life, and I will certainly do what I say." Chibei said, cupping his fists.
"I found that the way you and I deal with problems and deal with people are somewhat similar." Yu Qiuping laughed, "It's getting late, I'll leave first."
After Yu Qiupei rode his horse back to Sunfu Castle, he immediately rushed back to his temporary residence in the castle tower. In order to find an excuse to go to the fifth floor of the castle tower, he sent out three territorial inspection reports in succession and sent them to Imagawa Yoshimoto.
After coming out, he would deliberately walk along the stairs at the far end. However, no matter how loud his footsteps were when he passed Imagawa Kaede's room, he never heard anyone respond.
When Yu Qiuping came to Imagawa Yoshimoto's desk for the third time, Imagawa Yoshimoto was a little surprised, "Yu Qiu, there is no difference between these three reports, why did you make three copies?" He smiled, "Wase
Have you turned into a workaholic? This needs to be cured."
"The main hall is joking." Yu Qiuping's face turned red.
"Come and smell the incense of the Chidori Incense Burner," Imagawa Yoshimoto carefully pushed the Chidori Incense Burner away from the table. "It has a soothing effect. Looking at your confused look, I don't know what happened.
"Imagawa Yoshimoto blinked, his expression was somewhat similar to Imagawa Kaede. He teased: "Could it be that you have fallen in love with a girl from some family?"
By the time Yu Qiuping left Imagawa Yoshimoto's house in embarrassment, it was already past noon. However, Imagawa Kaede didn't show up for a long time, making Yu Qiuping extremely anxious.
"Aren't you here to celebrate my birthday?" Yu Qiuping was a little surprised.
"Momiji, are you back?" When he was distracted, he met Toshi Sena who was walking in the corridor on the fourth floor.
"Your Highness Sena." Yu Qiuping hurriedly saluted, "I just came back this morning."
"I've been running around for the past few days, it's time to have a good rest." Sena Shitoshi said with concern, "I'll treat you to something to eat, and you should also have a good rest."
"Will His Highness Sena actually take the initiative to take a rest?" Yu Qiuping wanted to refuse, "I thought that His Highness would be immersed in work and unable to get out?"
"Ah, the red leaves are my favorite." Sena Shitoshi smiled helplessly, "The main hall sent someone to lock my office, saying they wanted me to relax. I have walked around the corridor several times.
, I can’t hold it in anymore.”
"Haha, the main hall is really... original." Yu Qiuping thought for a while and came up with "unique". Yu Qiuping and Sena Shijun looked at each other and smiled. Sena Shijun's warm invitation made Yu Qiuping embarrassed to refuse him.
For so long, Sena Ujitoshi has been taking care of him, shielding this subordinate who not only got promoted quickly, but also almost offended most of the Imagawa family. He can also be said to be concerned about everything about his own life.
Yu Qiuping actually felt some fatherly feelings from him.
In the hotel, Yu Qiuping was a little absent-minded, and kept thinking about where Imagawa Kaede had gone.
"Could Momiji have something on his mind?" Sena Shitoshi noticed something unusual about Yu Qiuping and asked.
Yu Qiuping hesitated for a moment, not wanting to shut out Sena Shijun's concern, "It's true." He smiled, "I have a sweetheart."
"Oh?" Sena Shijun's eyes lit up, and he was considerate and didn't ask too many questions, "If you need me for anything, you can always come to me for help."
After the meal, Yu Qiuping went to several places in Sunfu Castle that he had visited with Imagawa Kaede before, and also went to the rockery in the garden next to the castle tower, but he did not see Imagawa Kaede.
"Could it be that... we went to the back mountain?" Yu Qiuping then rode towards the back mountain, passing through the red paper forest that had been dyed white by the heavy snow. From a distance, he could see the chimney of Imagawa Kaede's cabin.
, there was smoke coming out, it looked like the stove was lit.
"Sure enough, it's here." Yu Qiuping said with a smile. He quietly dismounted his horse far away and led the horse up, fearing that the sound of horse hooves would cause the girl to discover him early.
Yu Qiuping tied the horse next to Imagawa Kaede's horse, and quietly walked around through the back door. When passing by the open window, Yu Qiuping found that Imagawa Kaede was sitting on the chair with his back against the window, his hands on his chest.
Know what is busy.
Yu Qiuping then smiled evilly, stretched out his hand, and covered Imagawa Feng's eyes from behind.
Imagawa Kaede exclaimed and quickly realized who was coming. She was trying to hide the things in her hands, but she suddenly dropped them to the ground. Yu Qiuping also heard the sound of metal hitting the ground.
, and a ball of red stuff.
"Ah! Why are you here suddenly!" Imagawa Feng stood up in a hurry and closed the window without saying a word, shutting Yu Qiuping out. The amused Yu Qiuping immediately ran towards the back door, and the moment he pushed open the back door
, found Kaede Imagawa trying to lock the door.
"Feng'er, what are you doing?" Yu Qiuping laughed dumbly, "Hide here and don't let me in."
"Ping! Don't come over." After seeing Yu Qiuping come in from the back door, Imagawa Feng hurriedly walked to the front of the stool and blocked the things behind him. But Yu Qiuping could still vaguely see the two sewing needles and the
A red fabric. So, Yu Qiuping smirked and walked forward reluctantly. Imagawa Kaede was still wearing the coat today, and it was not very convenient to move around. He covered the left and right, but Yu Qiuping still picked it up on the ground.
Ball of red fabric.
It is a red shawl. Dozens of red leaves made of silk are densely embroidered on the shawl. If the hand holding the shawl shakes slightly, the dozens of red leaves will rustle.
You can see the marks of scissors on the corners of the red leaves made of silk, which must have been cut by the girl one by one. Yu Qiuping took a quick look and saw that dozens of red leaves were almost identical, which showed that the girl had spent a lot of effort.
The threads of the shawl are a little rough, but the embroidery is very careful, and every stitch and thread is sewn tightly.
"You ruined my little surprise." Imagawa Kaede was a little dissatisfied but muttered sweetly, "I originally wanted to do some final repairs today and give it to you as a birthday gift tonight. You can see the result now."
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed Imagawa Kaede's hand without any explanation and brought it to his face. The fingertips of that soft and white hand were punctured in many places. Some places were scabbed, and some were scabbed.
It was still red, and what worried Yu Qiuping the most was the wound on the ring finger that was still bleeding slightly.
"Didn't you say that Nvhong didn't study hard?" Yu Qiuping hugged Imakawa Feng into his arms and said softly. He seemed to be able to picture in his mind that Imagawa Feng clumsily held a sewing needle and helped Yu stitch by stitch.
Qiu Ping was sewing a shawl and accidentally pricked his hand. He tried to stop the bleeding, but endured the pain and continued to sew. Every stitch seemed to be piercing Yu Qiuping's heart.
"Silly girl, why are you doing this?" Yu Qiuping suddenly sobbed, "I will feel bad."
"Well." Yu Qiuping's sudden cry made Imagawa Feng's heart palpitate. She was stunned for a moment and said softly, "That day... Ping seemed to be very concerned about... the appearance of the female celebrity. I just want to... prove it."
"Then if Feng'er is like this, who will repair my clothes if they get torn in the future?" Yu Qiuping asked with a smile.
"Moreover." Imagawa Kaede's voice suddenly became lively and joyful, "You like red leaves so much, you will definitely like this gift."
"Feng'er, I didn't mean that at the time." Yu Qiuping choked and hugged Imakawa Kaede tightly, "Even if Feng'er doesn't know anything, she is still my favorite Feng'er." Imakawa Kaede's cheeks turned red and she sweetly said
Yu Qiuping snuggled together.
"Then... do you like it?" The girl raised her head, her smile was very beautiful.
"I like it, of course I do." Yu Qiuping said with a smile. He carefully picked up the shawl, draped it over his shoulders, and tied the ribbons on both sides into a knot on his chest. The size was just right. "Wear it all my life."
The cold wind blew in from the window. Imakawa Feng trembled slightly because of the cold. He buried his head in Yu Qiuping's chest and whispered in a voice as thin as a mosquito.
"Ping, you know, in our Suruga legend," Imagawa Kaede paused, "there is a tradition."
"Before girls get married, they have to make a red girl and give it to the boy they marry. After the boy accepts the gift, it is considered...officially engaged." Imagawa Kaede's voice became smaller and smaller, shyly.
She looks completely different from the lively and cheerful girl she usually is.
"But I haven't made the offer yet..." Yu Qiuping said with a frown.
"It's already gone." Imagawa Kaede said with a sweet smile, lifting the pendant from her chest.
"This cannot be counted..." Yu Qiuping said, "This will be given to our son in the future..."
"And those." Imagawa Kaede looked out the window, raised his head again, stared at Yu Qiuping's eyes full of deep love, and said happily: "The red leaves all over the mountain are just for you, Ping."
The betrothal gift given to me."
"Feng'er," he lowered his head slightly and called her softly. She trembled, but this time it was not because of the cold. This was inappropriate. She should have backed away, but she just raised her face and closed her eyes.
The kiss was gentle and gentle at first. Imagawa Kaede had never tasted such a sweet feeling. Her arms moved up unconsciously and wrapped around his neck. The kiss deepened and they stuck closer. Yu Qiuping indulged in
She asked for it in her mouth, tasting the fragrance between her lips and teeth, and the warm softness. Imagawa Kaede felt like a drowning person, and in this world, he was the only one who could hold on.
He is the person she wants, that sunny and kind-hearted boy who is incompatible with this era. He always thinks about others. Not only does he understand her superficial personality, but he can also go deep into her heart to see the person who was married because of the red leaves.
Fate, the injured girl. - Others often can't see it, but he can.
She is the person he wants, that charming, cute, and somewhat delicate girl who brings him joy in the world like a holy angel. Not only does she understand his superficial personality, but she can also penetrate deep into his heart.
Deep down, to see the boy who had a relationship and was hurt because of Hongye. Others often can't see it, but she can.
They know everything about each other, not just their faces in front of the world.
"Ping," she snuggled into his arms and whispered, "Ping..."
