The young master Fukuzawa, who refused to see anyone after returning from the bridge, came out from the inner room, picked up Mrs. Kondo and threw them out, and his elder brother came over and pointed at his younger brother and scolded: "How can you fight with the feudal lord?" My lord wants this to be strong, but she is a woman, and she has a good look and decided not to insult the lintel, but you still hold on to it, what else do you want? Mrs. Kondo has come to apologize and beg for mercy. Do you want to embarrass the elders because of a dead woman! "

This made Mrs. Fukuzawa think that the eldest son was out of his mind, but she had already become a habit of obeying her son, and she only looked at his worried expression, but she did not refute after all.Seeing that the two sons refused to give in to each other, she could only persuade the younger son first: "Anyway, if Ah Xun is gone, you can't just refuse to marry a wife. Jinzhi is also very good. Although she is the daughter of a poor family, she is skillful and industrious." No less than Kaoru, her face is also good-looking, there is nothing to hate. Mrs. Kondo apologized and accompanied her, Kaoru's face is already bright. Now everyone knows that she has been wronged, and the villagers also said that they will do it for her. She upholds justice, as a woman, isn't that what she wants?"

"It's you, it's inappropriate to be disrespectful to elder brother because of other people's mistakes. Tell your master to punish you!"

The silver-haired boy would quarrel with his elder brother, but he would not disobey his mother, so he could only go back to the room and close the door, ignoring him. Then Mrs. Fuze turned around and scolded the eldest son: "Your younger brother just lost his sweetheart, so you can't talk too much? "

The two sons went back to their rooms and were angry. Mrs. Fukuzawa opened the door and asked Mrs. Kondo, who was still standing outside, to leave.It's true that she has a weak temper, but she doesn't want people to use her son's lace news as a talking point.

Mrs. Kondo begged for a long time, but Mrs. Fukuzawa did not confiscate the gift she sent, but asked someone to take it back as it was.After seeing her leaving in a resentful mood, he felt that maybe he could take time to visit Nishikori's house. This girl is honest, kind, and courageous, so it's not impossible to marry her back.

Still the same sentence, could it be that Ah Xun would not marry a wife without his youngest son?If the son doesn't like it, he doesn't have to let her go to Tokyo Prefecture. It's also good to stay at home and work with her to support the family.

Take a few steps back, even if Nishikori is not there, there are still other good girls.Seeing that the youngest son has a bright future under the guidance of a famous teacher, many people want to have a chat with her.It's just that the kid Aji has a weird and stubborn personality. If he doesn't nod himself, it doesn't count if anyone agrees.

——Because Nishikori's family didn't watch their daughter and told her to run out to spread the word that they had ruined the affairs of Mr. Kondo's family, the whole family huddled in the house for several days in a state of panic all day long.Finally, the news came that the girl named Ah Xun jumped into the river on the day of the accident, and she has not been found until now, which shows that she is really dead.Nishikori's mother let out a long breath: "Okay, Kaoru is gone, you can come out ahead. Such a big incident is bound to break out, and the old gentlemen are watching. Master Kondo dare not do anything to our family, but it's a pity I can no longer go to work to earn money. But the marriage contract with Fuzawa's family must not be let go, and if I change another family, I will not be able to meet such a good one."

She is full of plans for her daughter here, but the young master of the Fuze family on the other side refuses to admit it life and death, even if the elder brother draws the sword and the mother is crying, she just remains silent.Regardless of Nishikori or anyone else, if you want him to nod, you absolutely cannot.Seeing that she couldn't persuade her son, Mrs. Fuze had no choice but to invite the elders of the family and neighbors to persuade her, and she used the marriage of her youngest daughter to tell him: "Your brother has delayed you until now because he couldn't find a suitable one. , you are like this again, are you going to drag your sister to die at home? Ah Xun is pitiful, isn't my daughter pitiful?"

Cried and cried, quarreled and quarreled, with an attitude that made his son bow his head.

In a hurry, Master Fukuzawa simply jumped over the wall and escaped from home in the middle of the night to find his teacher. Natsume Soseki, who also heard about this and was so angry that his chest hurt, took his disciples and left this remote area.Unwilling to be stopped and persuaded by any "old man", he first took his disciples to the more remote southwest of Honshu Island, planning to turn back and take a boat back to Kanto.

"People in the world are ignorant because they haven't been enlightened. This kind of bullying of orphans is never seen before. It's extremely ignorant and shameless." Mr. Natsume sighed and shook his head without saying a word.This is just one place and one scene, even if Ah Xun is the daughter of a noble family, the fate of the daughter of an ordinary family may be ten or a hundred times worse than this.

After Fukuzawa Yukichi left, the Kondo family lost their master and had no way to beg for mercy. They suddenly felt numb and didn't know what to do.

The lord of the feudal lord in the prefectural city of Osaka had nothing to do with fetching water from a bamboo basket, not to mention not being able to get any beauties, and for no reason gained the notoriety of grabbing the wives of scholars by force.There was nowhere to vent his anger, and all of it was burned on the head of Kondo's vassal. Within a few months, the trees in his house fell and the monkeys scattered without a place to stand. The next morning, when the servants entered the room, they were paralyzed.Kondo and his wife became even more sad immediately, and they really followed the preface and went to live with Mrs. Kondo's natal family.The eldest lady was lucky enough to get married before then to avoid misfortune, but her natal family lost power and her husband didn't have to give birth, and she didn't have the ability to settle down, so life was very hard.

At the beginning, Nishikori's family was planning to force their daughter to marry into a samurai family to get some benefits, but they dragged back and forth to other people's houses to make a scene several times but failed. .

Unexpectedly, Master Fuze is so stubborn--this man has been with the teacher for 30 years, and the money to support his family has been increasing every month, but there is no sign of him anyway.Whether the elder brother marries a wife or the younger sister marries someone, it is as if he is not in the family and never shows up.Later, when Mrs. Fuze passed away, he came back to see his mother's funeral. After finishing the coffin burial ceremony, he turned around and left without paying any attention to other personnel matters.

The neighbors were curious about what he did with his husband when he went to Tokyo, and they asked everyone he met.Kanto and Kansai are so far apart, and after inquiring and inquiring, I only vaguely heard that he stayed in the port where the Saito feudal lord was the governor before his death.The idlers in the village sighed a few words, and after a long time, no one remembered such an old news.

Nishikori's mother is now so regretful that her intestines are green, and she cried for countless times until she couldn't cry.Once Master Fuze left, he refused to admit to life and death, and no one else dared to come to ask Jinzhi to marry him. He had raised such a big daughter and couldn't get married, so he just stayed at home to eat food for nothing.Both her husband and son thought she was greedy and had a lot of things to do, so they might as well have kept silent and pretended to forget about this incident and secretly married Jin Zhi.

She was depressed and had nowhere to confide in, so she could only cry to her daughter about her life.Nishikori couldn't stand it after hearing so much moaning and sighing all the time. He stayed at home and was always punched, kicked and stared at by his father and brothers.

The banknotes that Kaoru gave her and the change she had accumulated over the years were well hidden, and Nishikori moved to a neighboring town to set up a shop with these.This town has newly built a car that can drive directly to the prefectural city of Osaka. It runs fast with a bang, and white smoke will be emitted from the front of the car, which is very interesting.She settled down with peace of mind, and specially bought tea from a tea dealer to make a box and paint it, then packaged it exquisitely and beautifully, and then put it in the shop for sale—the art of painting and pasting boxes was taught to her by Ah Xunshang when she was still alive. .

Nishikori thinks that Kaoru will be fine. She said that she will go to Tokyo to look for the young master of Fukuzawa's family at a later date. On the day of the accident, the villagers organized young people to go to Shenjian to search for him. They couldn't do anything for several days If she didn't touch it, she must have tried to get out and had successfully left.No matter how bad it is, she will be taken downstream by the Jianshui, maybe she will lose her memory and be picked up by a kind-hearted person like the scriptures say, or maybe rescued by a fairy.Anyway, somewhere she must be trying to get back, or already on her way back.

She has to wait for her to come back, more than half of this tea shop is considered to be Ah Xun's property, and it's good for the two of them to guard the shop and live slowly when she comes back.

A few years later, the world was in chaos and wars broke out. They fought for more than ten years, with a break of one or two years, and fought for another seven or eight years. Kaoru still hasn't come back.The war destroyed the town where she lived. At that time, she only had time to bring a few boxes of tea and fled with the refugees, until she fled to Tokyo Prefecture.Kaoru said that she would go to Tokyo Prefecture to find someone, so she would also go to Tokyo Prefecture. If Master Fukuzawa could not be found, it would be nice to find her Nishikori—now Tokyo Prefecture is not called Fu, so the word Fukuzawa was removed and the name was changed. In Tokyo, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water are all strange things Kaoru heard and told her when she was young.

It turns out that there really are houses that can be taller than the mountains. There are five houses in a row by the sea.

At the beginning, Ah Xun kept saying that she wanted to go outside to see these rare objects, so she would take a look at them for her and tell her about them when she came back.The tea shop has also reopened, and everyone calls her Nishikori-sensei, but she doesn't understand how she can be called a teacher if she just pastes a box and draws some pictures?But the business still has to be done, otherwise what would happen if Kaoru came home and was homeless.

The seaside city where she lives now is very good, close to Tokyo, with convenient transportation, beautiful scenery and rich products.Even the young man walking on the street has a very sweet mouth, is especially good at coaxing people, and looks energetic. I don't know if Kaoru will like it.

She must like it, right?Oh, that tall, hairy-haired young man was really handsome, much better looking than the young men in the small towns in the countryside.

Well, the one she dislikes is Master Fukuzawa. Kaoru should really get to know her more.Or even a small young man who happened to meet on the road is very good-looking, and he will politely help her lift heavy objects, wearing a white hat is very fashionable, and he will turn his face away in embarrassment when he compliments her. It's so interesting.

... Kaoru, when will you come back?

The black-haired young man who was casually muttered by her took a box of tea from this famous old tea shop and walked out.He was a little curious, he looked down and touched the exquisite meticulous painting on the paper, but he didn't feel that the value of the tea was consistent with the selling price - if he had to make an evaluation, he could only say that he was worthy of the hand-painted painting on the tea box.

He staggered into a red brick building humming a song that didn't have a single note in tune.The red brick wall on the windward side has been eroded and mottled by the sea wind, and it looks dilapidated and old.The young man walked into the elevator and stamped "four". When the elevator door opened, he was facing an ordinary wooden door with a metal nameplate.

Push open the wooden door and walk in, first see the reception room separated by stained glass, turn right to the passage.On the left-hand side there were several tables belonging to the detectives, on the right-hand side there were general clerks coming and going.The strange tune with a wild accent disappeared outside the office door at the end of the passage. He raised his hand and knocked on the door to enter. There was a middle-aged man with silver hair and a serious expression sitting inside.

The young man stepped forward to put the tea leaves on the table. The middle-aged man looked at the delicately painted butterfly wings. After the paper was bent, the pink and white butterflies flapped their wings as if they were alive with the light and shadow.

He turned his gaze to the young man in front of him again: "Thank you, Dazai."

"Sure, I'm just bringing tea back for you, President." The young man deviated from his usual frivolity, and glanced at the yellowed book in his hand.

It was a fifty-syllabary book "The Tale of Bamboo Cutters" written decades ago.
