The Tale of Genji 紫式部 8722Words 2018-03-21
However, it is said that Jin Ji, who was working as a vegetarian at the Kamo Shrine, resigned and moved to another place to keep her filial piety because of the death of her father, Prince Taoyuan Shikibu.Genji's ministers have always had the habit of falling in love once and never forgetting it, so they wrote many times to express condolences after hearing the news.Jin Ji recalled that she had been admired and troubled by him in the past, so she did not give him a sincere reply letter, and the ministers of the Genji family felt very regretful.In September, Jin Ji moved to her old residence, Taoyuan Palace.When Genji's inner minister heard the news, he thought that his aunt, the fifth princess, also lived in the Taoyuan Palace, so he went to visit under the pretext of visiting the fifth princess.

When Tonghuyuan was alive, he paid special attention to the fifth princess, the younger sister, so until now, Genji's inner ministers are still very close to this aunt, and often exchange letters.The fifth princess and Jinji live on the east and west sides of the main hall.Not long after the prince passed away, the mansion already felt desolate, and the scene was extremely peaceful.The fifth princess personally met the Minister of Genji and had a face-to-face conversation with him.She looked very old and coughed a lot.The third princess, the wife of the late Taizheng Minister is her elder sister, but she has no old appearance and is still very healthy.The fifth princess was different from her elder sister, her voice was hoarse, and she looked a bit like a bell.This is also the case.She said to Genji's inner minister: "After the death of Tonghuyuan, I felt that everything was not happy. In addition to being old, I often shed tears. Now this elder brother has also left me, and I feel that I am staying behind. Although the world is alive, it is still dead. Fortunately, you, a good nephew, came to condolences and made me forget all the pain." Genji's inner minister felt that this person was very old, so he respected her and replied: "After the death of the emperor It is true that everything in the world is completely wrong. The year before last, my nephew was convicted of an untrue crime and fled elsewhere. He was pardoned for not trying to return to the court and abused government affairs. It's just that he is busy with business and has little time to spend time. I have been thinking about it for many years. Greetings, so that we can talk about the old things together and ask for advice. It is a pity that I failed to do so." The fifth princess said: "Ah, the world is really full of changes! I have read through the vicissitudes of life, I am old and never die, I often feel that this body Disgusting. However, seeing you return to the capital today and ascending to a high position, I feel that if I had only seen you in misfortune, I would have died at that time, it would be really unfortunate!" Her voice trembled.Then he said: "You are so beautiful! When you were a child, I was always surprised when I saw you: How could such a dazzling person be born in this world? Every time I see you, I feel that the longer you are, the more beautiful you are. People suspect that the gods will come down to earth, but they are afraid. People in the world say that today's appearance is very similar to you. But according to my guess, no matter what, I can't catch up with you." Then he continued talking.Genji's inner minister thought: how can anyone specially praise the beauty in front of people?He found it interesting and replied: "Where is it! My nephew has been living in the world for many years, and after experiencing hardships, he has aged much. The beauty of today's appearance is unmatched by the emperors of all dynasties. It is truly unparalleled. Auntie's speculation is too strange. "The fifth princess said: "No matter what, I have to see you often, and this life will be prolonged. Today I always forget, and the worries are all gone, so I feel so happy!" After saying that, she cried again and continued to speak. : "Third sister is so lucky. I have recruited you as a son-in-law, and I am always close to you. I am so envious! The former prince here often regrets that he never gave his daughter to you." The minister of Genji thought this sentence was very accurate Listen, and replied: "If it can be like this, everyone is always close, how happy I am! It's a pity that they are all alienated from me!" He said bitterly, revealing his thoughts.He looked at the side where Jinji lived, and saw that although the grass and trees in front of the courtyard were withered and yellow, they were not interesting.Imagine Geun-hee's appearance when she is gazing at the scenery, it must be beautiful and lovely.The itching was unbearable, so he said: "My nephew came to visit today, I should go over there to see sister Jin, otherwise it would be too impolite." Then he said goodbye to the fifth princess and walked over there along the eaves.

This chapter writes about Genji's thirty-two-year-old autumn to winter. The sister of Tonghuyuan and Prince Taoyuan Shibuqing, also the sister of the third princess who is the mother of Kui Ji. That is, the mother of Kui Ji. It was dark at this time.In Jinji's room, through the gray curtains, one can vaguely glimpse the black curtain inside, which makes people feel desolate.The breeze blows a charming fragrance of clothes, the fragrance is tangy to the nostrils, and the scene of the inner room is unspeakably beautiful.The maids thought it was too disrespectful to entertain the minister on the eaves, so they invited him to sit on the ground in the south chamber, and a maid named Xuanzhi responded on behalf of the lady.Genji's inner minister was quite dissatisfied, and said: "Are you still treating me as a young man and telling me to sit outside the curtain? I have admired my sister for many years. I think I have this little credit, and I can be allowed It’s come in and out of the curtain.” Jinji asked the maid to tell the story and replied: “The past events are all the same dream. Although I have woken up from the dream now, I still have a vague idea whether this world is real or not. So whether you have contributed something, Allow me to think carefully before making a decision." Genji's minister felt that the human world is indeed impermanent, and even subtle things are thought-provoking.Then he gave a poem:

"Waiting for the gods to let you return, It's been years since the first illness. Now that the gods have allowed you to return to the capital, what excuses do you have to avoid me?Since I was banished and went through hardships, all kinds of worries have accumulated in my chest, and I really want to appeal to you. "The diligent and sincere appearance is more elegant and unrestrained than before. Although he is a bit older, he is quite disproportionate and too young for the position of internal minister. Jin Ji replied: "An ordinary saying, There are many crimes before breaking an oath to God. "

Genji's inner minister said: "This oath is too serious to talk about it? The sins of the past have long been blown away by the wind."Xuan Zhi sympathized with him, and jokingly said: "In this way, I swear that the gods will not listen to it!" The serious Jinji was very unhappy when she heard these words.This young lady has always had a staid temperament, and the older she gets, the more cautious she becomes, and she doesn't even bother to answer.All the maids were worried for her.Genji's inner minister said disappointedly: "Unexpectedly, I turned into a molestation here!" With a long sigh, he got up and left.As he walked out, he said: "Oh, when I get older, I'm ridiculed. I've been so emaciated for my miss. But my miss treats me so coldly that I can't even chant 'please come out and look haggard'!" As usual, all the maids praised Genji's inner minister for his beauty.At this time, the autumn night was as clear as water, and all the maids heard the sound of the wind blowing and falling leaves, and they all recalled the funny scene when they lived in the Kamo Shrine. Think about these old things, talk with each other.

Because there is a funeral, gray and black are used. An ancient song: "Swear never to fall in love, and the gods will not listen to this vow." See. An ancient song: "I have passed the door of your house today, please come out to see your haggard body." See "Ziji Monogatari". Genji's inner ministers went home, full of annoyance, unable to sleep all night, just thinking wildly.When I got up in the morning, I asked someone to open the lattice window, and sat in front of the window to watch the foggy scene in the morning.But among the frost-withered autumn grass, there are many hibiscus flowers clinging around.The flowers are all described as withered and faded in color.He asked someone to take a branch and gave it to Jinji, and wrote: "Yesterday, I was treated coldly and made me feel so embarrassed. You saw the back of me when I went home in a state of embarrassment, did you ever make fun of it? I hate it so much! But Let me ask you:

I once gave hibiscus in the past, and I will never forget it! I haven't seen you for a long time, has the beauty diminished? But I still have a little hope: I have been suffering from lovesickness for many years, at least please forgive me! Jinji felt that the wording of this letter was humble and pitiful, and it would be too boring if it was left alone. The maids took pens and inkstones and persuaded her to reply. The reply wrote: "By the deep autumn fence, the bitter mist comes at the beginning; The hibiscus is very withered, and the flower looks like nothing. Comparing me to this flower is so similar that I can't help crying. "There are only a few words in the book, and there is no deep affection. But for some reason, the ministers of the Genji family held the book and read it carefully, and couldn't bear to release it. The letter paper is blue-gray, with soft brushwork and very beautiful. All poems and letters given as gifts are often due to the characters. The character and the wit of pen and ink were able to cover up the ugliness. It seemed that there were not many flaws at the time, but when they were copied as they were later, some people would frown. Therefore, the author's clever quotation of the poems and letters in this book must be indecent many.

The Japanese "hibiscus" is also interpreted as morning glory.This is where the name Jin Ji comes from. Mr. Genji himself felt that it was not appropriate to write love letters like he did in his youth.But thinking back to Jinji's attitude of never leaving, she finally didn't achieve any good things so far, and she felt that she would never let it go.Then he regained his courage and once again made a passionate courtship to her.He lived alone in the east hall, and summoned Xuan Zhi to come and discuss with her.The maids around Jin Ji are all affectionate, and they would fall in love with an insignificant man, let alone Mr. Genji.Judging by the appearance of such great praise, it is almost a big mistake.As for Jin Ji herself, in the past when she was young, she was unforgivable, not to mention that now that both of them are getting older and have higher status, how can they be willing to have that kind of romantic affair?She felt that even if she occasionally chanted the wind and the moon in the correspondence, she was afraid that the world would ridicule her as frivolous.Mr. Genji felt that this young lady's disposition was the same as before, unchanged, which was really unusual.This is really strange and hateful!

The matter finally leaked out.People all over the world commented: "Minister Genji fell in love with Qianzhaiyuan. The fifth princess also said that these two are a natural couple. This is really a good match!" These words spread to Ziji's ears. At first she thought: " If there is such a thing, he will never hide it from me." After careful observation, he found that the young master's expression changed drastically, and he was often thoughtful and absent-minded.Then she became worried: "It turns out that he has been in love deeply, but he pretended to be indifferent in front of me, and used jokes to confuse the past when he talked about it." Then she thought: "This Jinji and I are of the same blood as a prince, but her reputation She is very tall and has always been valued by others. If the young master's heart is biased towards her, it will be very disadvantageous to me. I have been favored by the young master for many years, and no one can compare with me. I am used to enjoying happiness. Now if you are overwhelmed by others , isn’t it sad!” She lamented to herself.Then she thought: "At that time, even if he didn't completely forget the old relationship and broke up with me, he must have looked down on me. His deep affection and kindness of automatically loving me and taking care of me for many years will definitely become insignificant, and nothing will matter." She Thinking about it, feeling upset.If it's an ordinary matter, you might as well vent a few harmless complaints to him.But this is a matter of great concern, so it is inconvenient to show it.Genji just sits in front of the window, meditating, and often stays in the palace.Whenever he has free time, he immerses himself in writing letters, as if this is his official duty.Ziji thought: "The legends outside are indeed true! He should reveal a little bit of his thoughts to me." Because of this, she was always restless.

In the winter of that year, because the nun barnacle mother was in mourning, all the sacred things in the palace stopped.Mr. Genji was extremely lonely and bored, so he went out to visit the fifth princess as usual.At this time, the auspicious snow was flying, and the evening scene was extremely beautiful.On the clothes that I am used to wearing every day, the fragrance of the clothes is particularly strong today, and the whole body is also very particular about dressing.The fragile woman saw it, and didn't she fall in love with her?After all, he still had to say goodbye to Mrs. Zi, and said to her: "Fifth Aunt is not well, I want to visit." He sat for a while, but Zi Ji didn't even look at him.She cares about playing with the little girl, the look of that profile is unusual.Mr. Genji said to her: "Recently you look very strange. I have never offended you. I just remembered the old saying 'shouldn't be too close to each other', so I often leave home to stay in the palace. You are overwhelmed." Ji only replied, "It's really painful to be too intimate", then turned her back and went to lie down.Master Genji couldn't bear to leave her and went out.But the fifth princess had already been informed by a letter, so she had to go out.Zi Ji lay down and thought: "I have always trusted him, and I never thought that this kind of thing would happen between husband and wife." Although Mr. Genji was wearing gray mourning clothes, the colors were harmonious and the style was well-proportioned, which was very beautiful.Reflecting the snow light, it is even more beautiful.Ziji watched his back, thinking that if this person really leaves me in the future, how sad it would be!Then feel sad.

An ancient song: "It is not advisable to be too close to each other. When you are too close, you will be sparse." See "The Tale of Genji Notes" quoted. Mr. Genji only used a few unobtrusive retainers as his forerunners.Said to the left and right: "At this age, I am too lazy to move around except in the palace. It's just that the fifth princess in the Taoyuan mansion has been lonely recently. When Prince Shibuqing was alive, he entrusted me to take care of her. Now she herself It’s no wonder that he asked me. It’s no wonder.” People on the left and right slandered in private: “Oh my God! His old problem of being passionate and loving is still hard to change. It’s a perfect flaw! I hope it doesn’t cause trouble!” At the north gate of the Taoyuan Palace, miscellaneous people came in and out frequently.It seems too rash for the young master to go this way.He wanted to go through the west gate, but the west gate was always closed.So he sent someone in to inform the fifth princess and asked her to open the west gate.The fifth princess thought that Mr. Genji would not be visiting today, so she was surprised when she heard the news, and immediately asked someone to open the door.The person in charge of the door shrank his head and feet in the cold, and went to open the door in a panic.That door was hard to open.There were no other male servants here, so he had to push and pull hard alone, complaining: "This lock is so rusty! It can't be opened no matter what!" Hearing this, Mr. Genji was deeply moved.He thought: "The death of the prince is still a matter of yesterday and today, but it seems that it has been three years. Seeing that the world is changing so impermanently, but finally I can't let go of this fleeting body and miss the beauty of the four seasons. Life is really sad! "Then Jing Man chanted: "Once upon a time the grass grew, The snow at Pengmen collapsed. " It took a long time for the door to open, and the young master went in to visit. As usual, first visit the fifth princess and chat with her about the past.The fifth princess starts from the boring past, trivial and trivial.Mr. Genji felt no interest, just drowsy.The fifth princess also yawned, and said, "I'm getting old, and I just want to sleep at night, so I can't speak well." When she had to finish speaking, she made a strange sound, probably from snoring.Mr. Genji couldn't get what he asked for, so he got up and said goodbye.Just as he was about to go out, he saw another very old woman walking in coughing.He said: "I'm sorry for you. I think you know I'm here, and I'm still waiting for you to come and see me. It turns out that you don't care about me anymore! Master Tonghu often shouts 'Grandmother' is joking with me!" She said her name, and Genji also remembered it.This person was formerly known as Gennai Samurai.The son once heard that she later became a nun and became the apprentice of the fifth princess. She practiced here, but she did not expect that she was still alive.Mr. Genji never thought of this person, but he suddenly saw it today, and he was completely unexpected, so he replied: "What happened when the emperor was alive has become an old story; I think back then, and I am very moved. I can hear your words today." Voice, I am very happy. Please regard me as a 'traveler without parents and starved to the ground', take good care of me." He came to her and sat down.Gennai waiter looked at his demeanor, missed the past even more, and still pretended to be coquettish and foolish.Her teeth were missing, and she was struggling to speak, but her voice was still delicate, and her attitude was still smiling; she sang an ancient song to the young master: "I used to say that others are old and hateful, but now I know that old age has come to me." The young master thinks it is disgusting. , thinking with a wry smile: "This person seems to think that he has never aged before, but now he suddenly grows old." But thinking about it the other way around, I feel that this person is very pitiful.He recalled the past: In this old woman's youthful era, the female imperial guards and dressing men who competed for favor in the palace, some of them have long since died, and some of them are scattered and wandering, with no interest in life.It is even more unexpected that she died in her prime like the nun and concubine barnacle.People like the fifth princess and this Yuannei attendant have few remaining years and their character is insignificant, but they live forever in the world, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha leisurely.It can be seen that the world is uncertain, and the way of heaven is ignorant!When he thought of this, a look of emotion appeared on his face, Gennai thought that he was nostalgic for his old love for her, so he chanted enthusiastically: "Never forget the friendship at that time, I still recall the word 'pro'. " Mr. Genji felt bored and reluctantly replied: "Chang Yi's love is as deep as the sea, Life after life can not be forgotten. The friendship is really deep!Let's talk about that later. " Then he got up and said goodbye. An ancient song: "There is a traveler on Kataoka Mountain, who is hungry and thirsty and faints, poor traveler! Do you have no parents? Do you not have a good master? Poor traveler, hungry and thirsty, fainted." See "Supplements "Collection" was written by Prince Shotoku. This ancient song is quoted in "The Commentary on the Tale of Genji". An ancient song: "If you miss your relatives, you should come to visit them immediately. If you don't come to visit, you are not my son's son." See "Supplementary Collection". "Pro" means parents in Japanese.The relatives of the relatives, that is, the grandmother, refer to the former Wen Tonghu Emperor who jokingly called her "grandmother". In Jinhie's room to the west, although the lattice windows were closed, it would be impolite to act as if he did not welcome Mr. Genji's visit, so one or two places were still open.At this time, the cold moon is rising, and the night scene is very beautiful according to the thin snow.Mr. Genji thought of the old woman's delicate posture just now, and felt that it was like the saying: "What is the hardest thing to do? An old woman makes up, and the moon in winter." Looking back on her appearance, it is really ridiculous. That night, Mr. Genji was very serious. He forced Jinji to reply: "I just ask you to answer me with your own words without being told by the maid. Even if you say you hate me, I can give up on it from now on." Jinji thought : "In the past, he and I were both young. If we did something wrong for a while, the world would forgive him. In addition, my father also valued him. At that time, I thought it was inappropriate and shameful, but I have always refused. What's more, after a long time, the age It's already expired, and I'm not that age anymore, how can I answer him personally?" Her heart was firm.Genji was disappointed and filled with resentment.However, Jin Ji didn't want to be too tough, so as to be rude to others, so she still told the maid to spread rumors.But this made Master Genji anxious instead.At this time, the night was very deep, the wind was cold, and the scene was really bleak.Mr. Genji was so sentimental that two tears welled up in his eyes.Raising his sleeves to wipe away tears, his posture is graceful and moving.He chanted: "The sad heart never dies, Frustrated and sad today. It's really 'sorrowful all the time'! "His tone was very strong. The maids persuaded the lady as usual, saying that it would be impolite not to reply. Jinji had no choice but to call Xuanzhi to spread rumors. "Hearing that people have changed their festivals, I still hate it, Is there any change of heart today? An ancient song: "If lovesickness starts from the heart, sorrow will haunt you all the time." See "He Hai Chao". I can't change my mind. "Mr. Yuanshi had no choice but to really hate Jinji; but if he went back full of resentment, he would feel like a fishy young man, which was too shameful. He said to Xuanzhi and others: "I am so ridiculed by others now, outsiders know It must be used as a laughing stock, you must not leak this matter out!Just like the old song said: 'If someone doesn't know the answer, don't reveal my surname! 'I'm blunt please. "I whispered to them again, not knowing what to say. But I heard the maids talking to each other: "Oh, I'm so sorry!It's really unexpected that the lady treats him so ruthlessly!He didn't look frivolous and frivolous, I really wronged him. " For this ancient song, see "Ancient and Modern Waka Collection". Jin Ji is not ignorant of the graceful demeanor and the richness of emotion of Mr. Genji.But she thinks: If I show my affection to him, I will definitely be regarded by him as the same as the women who praise him in the world, and my frivolous heart will be seen through by him, and I will feel ashamed.So don't show admiration for him.She can only reply insignificantly when she receives a letter, and maintain an inseparable relationship.Or when he came to visit, he asked the maid to whisper and answer, but please be polite.She thought to herself that she had neglected Buddhist affairs in recent years, and often thought of becoming a monk to practice in order to atone for her sins.But if he becomes a monk immediately at this time and breaks up with him, it will be similar to an act of frustration in love, which will definitely arouse people's discussion.She is well aware that people's words are scary, so she is very careful and does not reveal the truth to the maids around her. She only plans secretly in her heart and gradually prepares for the practice.She has many brothers, but they are not of the same mother, and they have always been estranged. Recently, the situation in their palace has become increasingly depressed.At this time, a celebrity like Mr. Genji came to court sincerely, and everyone in the mansion was eager for his success, and almost all of them were of the same heart as Mr. Genji. Master Genji is not desperate for love.Just because Jin Ji's indifference was unexpected, he was not reconciled to let him stop there.What's more, his character and prestige are exceptionally superior, he is proficient in the physics of the world, and has experience in the warmth and coldness of human relationships. I also feel that he has a deeper understanding of the world than before.Now at this age, she still has to travel around to court for love, so she should already be concerned about the world's slander.However, if there is no gain, wouldn't it be treated as a joke by the world?He was confused and didn't know what to do, and he didn't go back to Ertiao Courtyard for a night.Therefore, Zi Ji was like an ancient song: "Farewell for a while, and you will know that you will not be able to play." She tried her best to endure, but sometimes she couldn't help shedding tears.Mr. Genji said to her: "Your look is different from usual, what's the reason? I can't figure it out." He reached out to stroke her hair, intending to be gentle.The posture of this loving couple is really impossible to paint.Genji said again: "After the mother abandoned her, the emperor has been mourning and sighing. I think he is very pitiful. In addition, the minister of the Taizheng passed away, there were no representatives, and government affairs were complicated. Go home. It's no wonder you feel uncomfortable and resent me. But now I'm not as frivolous as before, you can rest assured. Although you are an adult, you are still as inconsiderate as a child, unable to understand my feelings , What a pity!" As she spoke, she straightened her forehead hair.Zi Ji became more and more coquettish, turned her head away, and kept silent.Mr. Yuanji said: "I don't know who raised your temper like a child's." But he thought in his heart: "The world is impermanent, so how long is life! Even this person has a different heart from mine, it really makes me sad!" Zuo Si Thinking to the right, I was depressed for a long time.Later he said to her: "Recently, I have had occasional contacts with Jinji, and you may be suspicious of me again. This is all guesswork, and you will understand the truth soon. This person has always been withdrawn and doesn't like to make friends. I just When I am lonely and bored, I occasionally write a letter to joke with her and make her feel annoyed. She has nothing to do at home, and sometimes it is rare to reply to me. It is not a serious relationship, so there are no facts worth telling you You should want to turn around, don't worry about it." This day he was at home all day to comfort her. One day, auspicious snow flew.The snow has accumulated very thickly, and it is still late at night.The green pines and green bamboos in the snow have their own charms, and the night scene is extremely quiet.The two of them reflected the snow light, and their posture became more beautiful.Mr. Genji said: "Among the scenery of the four seasons, the cherry blossoms in spring and the red leaves in autumn are all pleasing to the eye. But the snow-covered scenery under the bright moon on a winter night is not colorful, but it is refreshing and fascinating. The meaning is There is no one better than this time in terms of depth and flavor. The ancients said that the winter moon is tasteless, which is really a superficial view." He ordered the maid to roll up the curtain.But seeing the moonlight shines everywhere, there is no limit to white.The leaves in front of the court are all gone, and the eyes are full of depression; the stream is frozen and does not flow.The surface of the pool is frozen like a mirror, and the scenery is very beautiful!Genji ordered the girls to go down the court to snowball.Many petite and exquisite girls reflected the moonlight, and the scene was very beautiful.Among them were the older girls who were familiar with each other. They were wearing all kinds of shirts casually, and the belts were tied indiscriminately. The on-duty attire was also very coquettish.Most of all, the long hanging hair, against the white snow in the courtyard, is particularly eye-catching and extremely beautiful.A few young girls, happily running around, even dropped their fans, their naive and innocent postures are very beautiful.The snowball has already rolled very hard, and the girls are still unwilling to give up. They want to push it even more, but they don't have enough strength.The few girls who didn't go down crowded the east side door to watch, smiling and worrying for them. This fan is for decoration, so it is also used in winter. Mr. Genji said to Ziji: "The mother of the barnacles built a snow mountain in the courtyard the year before last. This was an ordinary game in the world, but it became a romantic affair because of the mother's intention. I think of it every four seasons. When my mother passed away, I felt endless regret and regret. My mother was always very estranged from me, so I couldn't get close to her to know the details. However, every time I was eager to see her in the palace, my mother always regarded me as someone I could trust. I also rely on her a lot, and I will always ask her for advice in everything. Although she can't speak eloquently to people, she must speak well. Even ordinary and trivial matters, she will be arranged properly. How can such a wise person be found in the world! She She has a gentle and calm disposition. No one can compare her sincerity, carefulness, and elegance. Only you are the closest to her, and she is somewhat similar. However, she looks a little jealous, a little stubborn, and she is too tactful. It's really a fly in the ointment, and Qianzhaiyuan Jinhee is another kind of character. When each other is lonely and bored, they will exchange messages and talk about unimportant things. But I have to be careful at all times, and I dare not be a little presumptuous. Such an elegant I am afraid that she is the only one left in this world." Zi Ji said, "Then I want to ask you: that servant who is obsessed with moonlight is thoughtful and has a very elegant character. He is by no means a frivolous person. There are also rumors among you? I really can't figure it out." Mr. Genji replied: "You are right. When it comes to beauty, she is one of the best. As for that matter, I feel sorry for her. It’s too late to regret. Most romantic people, the older they get, the more regrets they have. I think I’m much more stable than others, and that’s it.” Speaking of Moonlight Night, Genji shed a few tears.Then he talked about Akashi Ji, and Genji said: "This countryman is insignificant and is looked down upon by others. However, although his background is low, he understands the truth. It is just because his background is not as good as others, but he is too arrogant, which is ultimately a fly in the ointment. I I have never met a person with a very low status. However, a woman who is very superior is really rare in this world. The lonely person in the east courtyard has always had the same mood, which is really admirable. This is also very difficult to do .I admired her virtue of modesty and respect at the beginning, so I got acquainted with her. Since then, she has been living her life in such a modest and respectful manner. Now, I appreciate her kindness even more, and I will never abandon her." People talked about all kinds of things in the past and present until late at night. The moonlight became brighter and clearer, and everything was silent, quiet and lovely.Immediately, Ziji chanted: "The pond water freezes the stone crevices, The blue sky and the cool moon sink from the west. " Her head was tilted slightly, looking out of the curtain, her posture was extremely beautiful.Her hair bun and facial features are very similar to the barnacle empress that Mr. Minamoto admired, and she is charming and moving.The admiration for Jin Ji has been withdrawn a bit.At this time, I suddenly heard the cry of mandarin ducks.Master Genji chanted impromptu: "Xue Ye talked about the vicissitudes of life, and felt sorry for the passing time. The mandarin ducks are not stable, and the noise is annoying. " After entering the room and going to bed, I still can't forget the barnacle queen.Like a dream but not a dream, between waking up and not waking up, after seeing the mother of barnacles in a trance, she appeared in front of her eyes.With a sad face, she said bitterly: "You said you would never reveal the secret, but our notoriety can't be hidden at last, it taught me to be ashamed and painful in the underworld, I hate it so much!" Genji wanted to answer, but It was like having a nightmare, unable to speak, only groaning.Zi Ji said strangely: "Oh, why are you? How's it going?" Mr. Genji woke up, and it was a pity that the barnacle mother was gone.Dazed and overwhelmed.I tried my best to bear it, but I didn't realize that tears welled up in my eyes, and then I wet my pillow sleeve.Zi Ji was baffled, and expressed condolences in every possible way, but Mr. Genji just lay motionless, and then chanted: "Winter nights are sad and sleepless, Dreams are hard to find when people go far away. " I can't continue my dream, and I feel very sad.Get up early the next morning, don't say the reason, just order the various temples to recite scriptures and repent.He thought: "I dreamed that she hated me and said 'teach me to suffer in the underworld. It's dirty and can't be washed away." He imagined the suffering of the barnacle mother in later generations, and felt even more sad in his heart.So I thought carefully: Is there any way to find her in this vague Netherworld and suffer for her?However, publicly holding a ceremony for the barnacle mother may arouse public discussion.Besides, Emperor Lengquan is troubled, do you doubt it after hearing it?So I had to concentrate on praying to Amitabha, praying to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, and sitting on the lotus platform with the barnacle queen.only: "Longing for the dead to seek their traces, Blurred and without a trace. " I'm afraid this is another dusty obsession with common fate.
