The Tale of Genji 紫式部 15144Words 2018-03-21
Let's say that the barnacle female royal was the third daughter of the late Minister Zuo.When she became the crown prince today, she was selected into the palace as the crown princess, so she is doted on in every way.But she was not established as a queen in the end, because she had few children, and only gave birth to a royal daughter, known as the second princess.Later, Nv Mingshi entered the palace and gave birth to a group of princes for the emperor, so she was registered as the main palace. Since then, Nv Barnacle was overwhelmed by Nv Mingshi, hating her fate and being very sad.To make up for this regret, she hopes that her daughter will be rich and prosperous, so as to comfort her heart.Therefore, he spared no effort to train the second princess.

These two princesses are also kind-hearted and beautiful, and they are quite loved by the world.Empress Akashi loved the princess she gave birth to since she was a child, so people in the world thought that the second princess was inferior to the eldest princess, but it was not the case.The daughter's father, Minister Zuo, was a dignified and prestigious person during his lifetime, which still exists today.Therefore, the life of the female royal family has always been very prosperous. From the clothing of the maids to the entertainment of the four seasons and other affairs, they are all thoughtful, novel and elegant.When the second princess was fourteen years old, she was about to wear clothes.For this reason, from the beginning of the spring, everyone from top to bottom abandoned other affairs and devoted themselves to the preparation of this ceremony.And all the details about this ceremony are ingenious and must be perfect.The ancestral treasures are just in use at this time, so they are accepted everywhere and decorated with all their heart.During the busy time, Yu Xia, the barnacle girl, suddenly had the misfortune of being infected with plague in Xia's body.This is an impermanent matter of misfortune and fortune, and today it is in vain to sigh and mourn.When the female emperor was alive, she was gentle, magnanimous, kind and amiable, so all the people in the palace regretted it, and said sadly: "If there is no such female emperor in the palace, you will inevitably be lonely in the future!" She; what's more, the second princess is still young, and it hurts her heart and lungs, and she can't forget it.When I heard about it today, I felt uncomfortable and loved her more and more.After the mourning on July 49th, he secretly took her back to the palace and went to inquire every day.The second princess is dressed in filial piety, with a melancholy expression, which gives her a different flavor.She has a gentle temperament and is more calm and stable than her mother. I am very pleased to see her today.However, what worries Jinshang is that her mother's natal family has no powerful and prominent uncle as her mother's substitute, and the Dazangqing and the repair doctor are half-sisters of her mother.These two people have neither status nor prestige in the temple.If such a person is the protector of the second princess, it would be better to have no protector.The more I think about it today, the more I feel pitiful for her, so I often take care of her personally and spend a lot of time on her.

The chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are more colorful after frost, and it is in season.The sky was gloomy, and it was raining intermittently.Today, I was concerned about the second princess, so I went to her room to chat with her.The second princess responded calmly and without childishness.Today, I think she is very lovely.I can't help thinking: "Such a lovely girl, there will be no one in the world who loves her!" Then he can't help but recall his father Suzakuin's marriage of his daughter, the third princess, to Lord Genji of Liujoin: "At the beginning, someone laughed and said It would be a loss of style for the princess to marry a courtier, so it is better to let her be single. But now, it seems that Yuanzhong Nayan's character is outstanding, and everything about the three princesses is taken care of by this son. Live a life of prosperity and wealth. If she hadn’t married Genji at the beginning, it’s hard to say that she would have such a good reputation now, and she might have been degraded by others.” After thinking for a long time, she made up her mind to take advantage of her reign as the second princess. Choose a son-in-law: Let’s do it the way Suzakuin chose Genji!What's more, there is no better candidate for this son-in-law than Zhanzhong Nayan.He often thinks: "This person and the princess are a very good match. Although he already has someone he loves, he will not neglect my daughter and do things that will harm the wealthy gentry. He will eventually marry someone Mrs. Zheng is the one, why don't you give him a hint before he gets engaged."

Today, I played with the second princess attentively, and before I knew it, it was getting late, and there was a drizzle of rain, which added a lot of love.The chrysanthemums add more beauty to the twilight.I saw it today, and summoned my ministers to ask, "Who is in the palace at this moment?" The courtier played: "Prince Zhongwu, Prince Ueno, and courtiers of Genji Zhongnayan are waiting here." The courtiers of Nayan are here." In the table, Nayan led the order.He does have the qualifications to be summoned alone: ​​before the person arrives, the fragrance has arrived, and all other gestures are different from everyone else.Today, he said to him: "Today's crime of adultery and rain is more leisurely than usual. But it is inconvenient to hold a singing and dancing banquet, and it is very lonely. Playing chess is the most suitable for leisure and boredom. How do you like it?" Nayan stepped forward to confront him.During the meal, Nayan was often called by Jinshang Chong, and he was used to it. He thought that today was also normal, so he didn't care much.Today he said to him: "I have a rare gamble today. I would not give it away easily, but I don't feel sorry for giving it to you." already.After playing a few games of chess, he lost twice in three games today.Can't help sighing: "It's so annoying! I really have something in my heart, and everything is not going well!" And said: "Today, let's make a spring branch." Compose a poem and play:

"If the bridge and chrysanthemum are out of the ordinary, you might as well take whatever you want." The meaning is very implicit.Answer today: "The garden chrysanthemum survives the frost in the early days, but the lingering fragrance stays in the world." I have repeatedly hinted at him in the past.Huang Zhongna said that although he directly agreed to the will, he did not immediately agree because he had always been eccentric.I thought: "I don't want to be manipulated by others! People have told me some lovely women many times, but I politely declined them. If I become a son-in-law now, wouldn't I be a monk and return to vulgarity?" This idea is really weird. .Knowing that there are people who are in love with the second princess and can't ask for it, he thought in his heart: "If the queen is born, that would be great." This thought is a little bit more!

Minister Xiwu Zuo vaguely heard about this matter.He intended to marry the six daughters to Jizhong Nayan.He expected: "Even if Dai Zhongnayan is unwilling to agree immediately, as long as he is sincere, he will not refuse people thousands of miles away." Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened suddenly, and he was quite annoyed when this accident happened.Then I thought about it: "Although Prince Xunqin, Minister of the Ministry of War, is not sincere to my daughter, he still sends her some charming letters from time to time. Even if he was on a whim, he finally had a destiny in his previous life. As time goes by, , I will definitely not love her. If you marry someone who is inferior, even though "the love is deep and strong, it is hard to leak", but after all, you have no face, and it is difficult to follow my heart." Then he complained: "The world is getting worse today. My lord, the fact that people are meager, and the fact of a daughter is annoying. Even if the emperor wants to visit his son-in-law, let alone a minister! Youth is so short, it really makes people worry about their daughter." These words imply sarcasm to Jinshang.So he carefully entrusted his younger sister Empress Akashi to fulfill the affairs between the six daughters and Prince Xiong, and asked her many times. Empress Akashi was quite annoyed, and said to Prince Xiong: "It's really sad! Minister Zuo has sincerely recruited you for many years. But you push me again and again, it is extremely ruthless. To be a prince, the fortune is determined by the prestige of foreign powers. It is often mentioned in today's forum that you want to give way to your brother. Then you will have the opportunity to be the crown prince Yes. If you are a subject, you can’t get distracted and remarry if you have a fixed wife. Even so, there are two wives who are as loyal and dedicated as Minister Xiwu Zuo. Don’t they get along well? Let alone you ! If I can fulfill my long-cherished wish and become the crown prince, what's the harm in marrying more wives?" This speech was unusual, very earnest and meticulous, and quite heroic.Prince Xiong already had this intention in his heart, and of course he would not reject this preaching as absurd remarks.He reasoned: it would be a very painful thing to be Xiwu Kuai's son-in-law, living in seclusion in his well-behaved house, not being able to have fun as he pleases.But thinking that it really shouldn't be based on him, my mind gradually relaxed.But Prince Xun was a lecherous and frivolous person, and he still had no ties to the love affair with the daughter of the Hongmei family according to Chadanayan.Whenever the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, Shang often goes to Xinxu; but in his eyes, every female and male around him is nothing more than a lovely flower.This year will pass unknowingly.

The following year, the mourning period for the second princess ended.So the marriage proposal was put on the agenda.Someone said to Zheng Zhongna: "How can you be so stupid and not enlightened? It's because I like you. As long as you show your heart, I will marry your daughter to you immediately today." Daizhong Naji thought: It's too much To be snubbed, to turn a deaf ear, to be too dismissive.So every time he had a chance, he euphemistically expressed his willingness to marry Qin and Jin.How can I ignore it today!Xunzhong Nayan heard that a good day and auspicious day have been selected today.He himself also silently observed the present intention.But in his heart, he still couldn't forget the eldest daughter of Uji, who died young, and was very sad.He thought: "What a misfortune! Such a deeply affectionate person, but why didn't he have the chance to get married?" Looking back on the past, he felt even more sad, and the sadness came from it.He often thinks: "Even for an ordinary person, as long as I look a little like Uji, I will fall in love with her. I really want to get the fragrance of the old Han Wudi, let us stay together again. !" He didn't expect the wedding day with the noble second princess to come soon.

Minister Zuo Xiwu is busy preparing for the marriage of the six daughters and Prince Xiong.The days are scheduled for the month of August.Hearing this, the second female son of Ertiaoyuan lamented: "It's as I expected! How can it be safe? I already knew that a humble person like me will inevitably encounter misfortune and be ridiculed. I heard that this person is sloppy. He is frivolous and not worth relying on. But after getting to know him a little bit, I can’t see how he can act ruthlessly, not to mention that he once swore to me first. If he has a new love in the future and suddenly alienates me, how can I bear it What about this sulking? Even if you don’t want to break up with me, there must be a lot of pain. This life is hard, and I’m afraid I have to go back to the mountains.” She felt that being abandoned by others and being ridiculed by others was disgraceful, worse than a lifetime It's even more shameless to marry old and die in the mountains.Before disregarding his father's last will, he led himself to leave the villa to suffer the consequences, but today he feels ashamed!She thought: "The late sister was free-spirited, as if she had no independent opinions: but her will was as firm as a rock in her heart, which is amazing! No wonder Yizhong Nayan still misses him and mourns all day long. If my sister was not dead and married with him Will Lian Li also suffer from this misfortune? However, she is far-sighted and will never be tempted by him. She even prefers to become a nun and study Buddhism rather than marry someone who is not her love. If she is still alive, she will be No doubt a nun. Now that I think about it, how determined my sister is! If my father and sister Huang Quan knew about it, they would definitely blame me for being too careless." She was both sad and ashamed.However, the situation has been like this, and it is useless to complain; I have to bear it with tears, pretending not to know about the six daughters.Make an appointment with her again: I wish to be a lovebird in the sky, and I wish to be a couple in the ground.

In May, the second daughter felt unwell and wanted to get sick. In fact, she was not in any abnormal pain. She reduced her diet, lost her energy, and was bedridden all day long.Prince Xiong had never seen this phenomenon before, so he didn't know what to look for. He thought it was because of the hot summer, but he was very puzzled.Sometimes he would casually ask, "What's the matter with you? Your symptoms seem to be pregnant." The second daughter was so ashamed that she just pretended to be fine, and there was no maid to reveal it, so the prince couldn't confirm whether she was pregnant or not. .In August, the second daughter learned about the wedding date of Prince Xun and the sixth daughter from elsewhere.Prince Xun originally wanted to tell the second daughter, but he didn't tell her because he was afraid that he would make fun of him and feel sorry for her.So at this moment, the second daughter and son are very annoyed that she has been kept in the dark.Is this marriage something that can be concealed?Everyone knows it, but if she is not informed of the exact date, how can she not feel resentful?Since the second daughter and son moved to Ertiaoyuan, Prince Xun never slept outside unless there were special circumstances, let alone other places!Now, there is another new lover who will not come back for a long time, how can the second daughter endure the pain of being alone and sleepless?For this reason, he often deliberately went to the palace to be in danger, trying to make the second daughter and son get used to living alone.But the second female son felt that he was hypocritical and heartless, so he resented him even more.

When Zhengzhong Nayan heard about this, he expressed deep sympathy for the second daughter and son.He thought: "Prince Bao is a frivolous person, his hypocrisy is changeable, and he will love the new and dislike the old in the future. If the left minister's family is dignified and powerful, if he ignores the righteousness of marriage and forcibly prevents the prince from coming back often, then the second daughter who has never been used to living alone How can I bear this tone? She will wash her face with tears in the future, and it will be embarrassing for a long night, how pitiful. Oh, how useless I am? Why did you give her up to Prince Hun when I handed over her? Since I fell in love with the late After the eldest daughter, the detached and refined heart has become confused, just because she has lost her nature. I kept thinking: If I force things to happen before her promise, it will go against my original intention, so I just focus on it. I hope she will have a good impression of me, treat me with generosity, and then gradually deepen my friendship. Who knows that she hates and loves me, hesitates, but asks me to empathize with the reason of 'my sister is mine' I am not the second daughter I had hoped for, so I comforted myself with this. I was filled with resentment, thinking that his scheme would be difficult to succeed, so I hastily handed over the second daughter to Prince Xiong. Because I was trapped by love and lost my mind, I actually led Prince Xun to Uji Yu to accomplish this. Now I think about it: I was too uninitiated at the time! It’s too late to regret it now! If Prince Xiong could recall the scene at that time, he might be worried that I would know about it, but now he will never talk about the situation at that time. It can be seen that a person who is addicted to sensuality and weak will will not only wrong the woman, but also suffer a lot from his friends. He will definitely do frivolous actions." He hated Prince Ju very much.Zhanzhong Nayan has a single-minded nature and emotion, so he hates this kind of behavior from others.He thought again: "Since that person passed away, the emperor wants to marry me as the princess, and I don't feel any joy. I only want to marry the second daughter, and the love is increasing. It's just because she is related to the deceased to be me." I can't forget it. The brotherhood between these two people is very strong. The elder daughter entrusted me on her deathbed: "My bereaved sister, I hope you can treat each other sincerely. Under the nine springs, I will be grateful." No regrets in life.It's just that you never listened to my arrangement to marry my sister, so you can't feel at ease in this world. "If the elder daughter knows what happened today, she will hate me even more. "Since he gave up on that man, he planned to sleep alone at night, and was often awakened by the slight sound of the wind. Looking back on the past, and imagining the future of the two daughters and sons, he only felt that life was impermanent and really meaningless.

When Qin Jun was extremely bored, he occasionally rehearsed a romantic affair with the maids, and sometimes called them to serve by his side. Among these maids, there were many charming and charming people, but none of them could make him fall in love, and some of them were not of low status. The two women in Yuji Mountain Villa had to work in the official residence of the Sanjoin just because the world changed with time, their family was in decline, and their lives were poor.Because he was deeply afraid that he would accidentally fall in love again, and when he became a monk, his six faculties were not exhausted, and he was involved too much, so it was difficult to achieve a positive result.But now he is suffering because of Uji's daughter, and he considers himself weird.one night.Because of thinking about this, I couldn't sleep all night.But seeing the dawn mist permeating the fence, the flowers are blooming and graceful.The morning face is in full bloom, which is even more refreshing.An ancient song says: "When the flowers are bright and the sky is bright, they are scattered and negligent. If you want to understand the state of the world, please show your face."He didn't close the lattice window tightly last night, and it was dawn after lying in bed for a while.Therefore, when the flowers bloom, he can see them at a glance, so he called his courtiers and said, "I want to go to the north courtyard today, and arrange a car for me. You don't need to arrange too much." The waiter replied: "The prince entered the palace yesterday to stay overnight. I'm afraid I'm not in the Ertiao courtyard." Zhong Na said: "Although the prince is not at home, but the wife is ill, it is all right to visit. Today is the day of the palace, and I will return before Rigao." Then Pack your bags.When going out, walk down the steps and stand among the flowers and plants. Although it is not a pretentious and melancholy gesture, it gives people a sense of majesty and elegance in the wind.It is inevitable that everyone will be different from each other.He wanted to pick the morning sun flowers, so he lightly lifted the brocade sleeves and pulled the flower vines.Dewdrops swayed down one after another.Then he chanted alone: "The evening dew is still there, and the morning face is already bleak. The epiphyllum appears in an instant, which is not enough to make people pitiful. How helpless! "I picked a few flowers at random. I turned a blind eye to the girl's flower and went away." As the morning dawns, the words are steaming in the morning mist, and the morning light comes to Ertiaoyuan.There are all women in the room, still intoxicated in dreams.He thought: "It seems impolite to knock on the door or cough loudly to wake everyone up at this time. Today is too early." He called his followers to visit at the middle gate.The entourage came back and reported: "The lattice window has been opened, and there seems to be a noise inside. Maybe the maids are already cleaning and preparing." Unexpectedly, Nayan got out of the car, covered himself with morning mist, and walked gently inside .All the maids thought that Prince Xun had returned from his night visit to his mistress.When I smell the mist with a special aroma floating in, I realize that it is my wish.A few young maids commented on him presumptuously: "Sir Nayan is really well-behaved, but he is too serious and intimidating." But they didn't panic, and calmly sent out the cushions, very polite and thoughtful.Tong Zhongna said: "I am honored to sit here, and I am very pleased to be treated as a guest. But I am so alienated from the emperor, I finally feel depressed, and I dare not visit again in the future." The maid asked "But what do you want, my lord? Please enlighten me." Xun Zhong said, "I'm a regular visitor, so it's better to go to a quiet place in the north. But let the master decide, and dare not complain." After saying that, he stood against the door.All the maids persuaded the two daughters together: "Miss, you should go out and receive her in person." I mean that Nayan is not a mighty person at first, but he has become more refined recently.Therefore, the second female son felt that dealing with him directly did not feel much shyness, so it was more natural and casual.Zhengzhong Nayan saw that the second daughter's expression was different, with a sick look on her face, so she asked: "Is your body okay recently?" The second daughter's son didn't answer exactly, but his expression was more depressed than usual.Zhengzhong Nayan sympathized with her very much, and taught her many ways of life in detail like a brother, and comforted her in many ways.The second daughter's voice resembled her elder sister's, which made Dai Zhongnayan very surprised, and almost thought she was the eldest daughter. If it hadn't been for the criticism from outsiders, Su Zhongnayan would have lifted the curtain and walked in to take a closer look at her melancholy face.At this time, he suddenly realized: There is no such thing as a truly carefree person in this world!Then he said to the second female son: "I believed that although I can't enjoy the glory like others, I can live this life without any worries. It's just because my heart is haunted by evil spirits that I suffer from this kind of hatred. In addition, I am born stupid It’s a matter of course for others to be sad because of promotion and wealth; but compared to theirs, my sorrow is a sin!” Saying this, he placed the Chaoyan flowers he picked just now on the fan Ornamental.The color of its petals gradually turns red, more showy.So he stuffed the flowers into the curtain and gave the two daughters a poem: "I want to compare the king's body to the beauty of the morning, but because I have a deep relationship with sleeping in the open.", He didn't do it on purpose, it's just because the morning dew leans against the flowers and doesn't drip.The second daughter and son looked at it and found it interesting.The flower is withered and withered.Then the poem said: "Delicate flowers are withered and exposed, and the dew is desolate, which makes people sad. What else can I rely on?" The fragrant tongue falters, and the moan is soft and intermittent.This attitude is also very similar to that of a eldest daughter, which makes Dai Zhongnayan feel even more hurt. He said to the second daughter and son: "The autumn colors are desolate, which adds to the sadness. I went to Uji the day before yesterday to relieve my loneliness. But I saw a desolate and desolate scene of "the empty courtyard and the fence collapsed". Touching the scene, the sadness is unstoppable. Recalling After the death of the father of Liutiaoyuan, no matter the Jun'eyuan where he lived in the last two or three years, or which Liutiaoyuan he originally lived in, he could see nostalgia, tears splashed on the grass and trees, or passed away with the wind. The women who had worked by my father's side, no matter how high or low, were all very affectionate. The people who lived in the courtyard had gradually become monks. As for the maids with humble status, they were even more depressed and filled with grief and indignation. They may be far away Going to the mountain village, or becoming a farmer, but Fang Jun has been wandering around without knowing where to go. However, after the house is completely deserted and the old things are forgotten, it will be better: Minister Xiwu Zuo moved to Liujoin, Empress Akashi gave birth to many princes I also came to live and restored the prosperity of the past. No matter how painful the sorrow is, the years will wash and dissolve it. It can be seen that sorrow has a limit. Although I recall the past, I was still young at that time and lost my father. However, the pain of my sister's farewell recently made me feel like I was trapped in a dream, and I would never wake up. It is also the sadness of life's impermanence, but this time I am deeply guilty, so that I will take care of it. It will affect future generations." After speaking, she couldn't hold back her tears, which shows her deep affection.Even those who don't know the elder daughter are deeply moved when they see this grief, but the second daughter has her own heartbreak, and recently mourned her dead sister more than usual.Today, I was very sad when I heard the words of Nayan in my heart, so I just shed tears silently.Across the curtain, the two cried at each other. Later, the second daughter said: "The ancients had a saying that 'the world is prosperous and suffering...'. When I lived in a mountain village, I didn't make a distinction between the world and the mountain village. Many years passed by. Although I often think about it now Returning to the mountain village to spend a leisurely life, but I have never fulfilled my wish. The old nun is very envious! After the twentieth of this month, it will be the third anniversary of the death of my father. I really want to go back to Uji and listen to the temple in the mountain village The bell is ringing. I would like to ask you to take me there quietly. I don’t know if you will agree or not?” Tong Zhong Nayan replied: “You want to visit the old residence, it is certainly a good intention, but the mountains are dangerous and the road is far away, and the trek is difficult, although the action is light It is also very difficult for my son. Therefore, although I often miss it in my heart, it is a rare trip. On the anniversary of the death of the prince, I have entrusted Aturi to handle one of the Buddhist affairs. As for this villa, I think it should be donated to the Buddhist temple. Save every time I go, it will arouse endless emotions and increase sadness, and donating to the temple can still offset crimes and accumulate virtue. This is just my humble opinion. If the lady has other opinions, I should follow them. Please just give orders. I hope Or, it's just what the young lady ordered without hesitation." He also talked about various household and practical affairs.The second daughter heard that Meng Zhongnayan had undertaken Buddhist ceremonies, so she thought to herself that she should do some merit for her late father.In her heart, she wanted to use this to return to Uji, so that she would be locked up in the mountains forever, and spend her life, but Nayan caught this meaning from her words, and persuaded: "Miss, calm down, don't make such a plan. " As the sun rose high, the maids gradually gathered. Huang Zhongnayan was afraid that he would stay too long and make people suspicious, so he prepared to go back.He said: "No matter where I go, I always sit outside the emperor, and I am not happy with the report today. Although, I will still visit again in the future." Yan Bi got up and said goodbye.He knew Prince Xun's temperament very well, and he was afraid that he would find out in the future, and blame him for visiting when his master was out or occasionally.So he summoned Dr. You Jing, the chief retainer here, and said to him: "I thought the prince came back to the mansion last night, so I came to visit him. I didn't know that he didn't come home. It's a pity. I will enter the palace now, or I can see you in the palace." Doctor You Jing replied: "Maybe I will be back today." Yi Zhong said: "Then I will come back in the evening." Saying goodbye, he left. Every time Dai Zhongnayan sees the appearance of the second daughter, she always regrets that she failed the eldest daughter's wish and married this person, and her regrets are getting heavier day by day.After thinking about it, he thought again: "It's all my own fault, so why should I regret it?" Since the death of the eldest daughter, he has been fasting and practicing Buddhism day and night.The mother, the third princess, is still young, but her temperament and demeanor are still optimistic and open-minded.But she also noticed her son's situation, and she was very worried about him, and said to him: "'I have lived for many days'! I always hope to see you get married as soon as possible. I am already a nun, so it is inconvenient Stop you. Even if you really become a monk, I will be meaningless to live in this world, and it will only increase the pain and sin.” Huizhong Naji was confused and guilty, knowing that he was sorry for his mother, so he tried his best to pretend in front of her. I was optimistic and leisurely, as if I had let go of my grief. Minister Zuo Xiwu decorated the East Hall of Liutiaoyuan in a splendid and luxurious way, and everything was well arranged, and the temple waited for Prince Xun too much.On the 16th, the bright moon rose gradually, but there was no news from Prince Xun.Minister Zuo felt anxious and thought: "The prince is not very happy about this marriage, so why don't you want to come?" Feeling uneasy, he sent someone to inquire about the news.The envoy came back and reported: "The prince withdrew from the palace this evening and went to the Ertiaoyuan." The left minister knew that he had a lover in the Ertiaoyuan, and he felt uncomfortable.So he sent his son Tou Lieutenant General to Ertiaoyuan to meet him and presented him with a poem: "Yue Qinghua shines on the steps, why don't you see you come at midnight?" Prince Xun didn't want the second daughter to see him getting married tonight, for fear that she would feel sad when she saw it.So it was originally planned to go directly to Liutiaoyuan from the official school, and then write a letter to the second lady.But he was afraid that the second daughter would be sad when he read the letter, so he sneaked back to Ertiaoyuan.Seeing the second daughter with teardrops on her face, like pear blossoms after the rain, and her alluring appearance, he couldn't let her go, knowing that she felt uncomfortable, so he made a vow of tenderness, knowing that "I can't comfort my feelings", and moved with her In front of the window, enjoy the moonlight.At that time, the Lieutenant General arrived just in time. The second daughter and son have been worrying a lot lately, but she tried her best to bear it and pretended to be calm.Therefore, when her head was about to come, she heard it calmly, as if she didn't know it at all, but her heart was really painful.When Prince Xiong heard that the general was coming, he thought that the sixth daughter would be very pitiful in the end, so he wanted to go, and said to the second daughter: "I will go back in a while, you are alone, 'don't talk to Yueming'. I am also upset at this time It's really hard to serve you when you're distracted." He felt that they were facing each other at this moment, and they were very sad, so they walked from the shade to the main hall.The second daughter watched him go away, although she tried her best to restrain herself, she couldn't help but shed tears, feeling deeply in her heart that she was "floating on the pillow".She herself was also surprised, "I can't get rid of jealousy, people's hearts are really unpredictable!" She thought again: "My sister and I have been lonely since we were young, and we are all brought up by our father who abandoned the world. The long lonely years in the countryside, I just think that life is so lonely and miserable, but I don’t know that there are such heart-wrenching sorrows in the world. After experiencing the sorrow of my father and sister’s farewell, I have no intention of staying in the world anymore, but it’s just unintentional. I wish to live until now. I recently moved to Kyoto. No one expected to be in charge, but I never expected it to last long. I just want to reunite my husband and wife and live in peace. Today, I don’t want this to happen. Sad thing, I'm afraid our fate will end from now on. I could have retreated and comforted myself: after all, he didn't say goodbye to me forever like my father and sister. Although he treated me coldly in the future, he would see me from time to time. But tonight Leaving me cruelly made me feel that the past and the future are all illusory, and the grief is uncontrollable. How painful it is! But as long as I live, maybe I will..." She finally turned her thoughts and comforted herself.However, sadness came from it, and I tossed and turned in meditation, without sleep all night.Compared with the remote Uji Mountain Villa, it is very elegant, quiet and very lovely.But the second daughter and son no longer felt this way tonight, only felt disturbing, even more so than Ke Ye.Then he chanted a poem: "Why does Xiao Xiao Songfeng peel off the autumn mountains mercilessly?" From this point of view, the sadness of the rich Uji Mountain Villa in the past seems to have been forgotten.Several old poetess persuaded: "Miss, go back to the back room. It is unlucky to look at the moon all the time. Alas! Why don't you even eat some fruit? In the past, the eldest lady didn't eat, but thinking about it now, it is even more instructive." Worry!" All the young maids sighed: "There are so many troubles in the industry! "And they discussed in private: "Oh, how can you treat your wife like this!It's not like giving it up just yet.In the past, love was so deep. Could it be said that you just throw it away? " After hearing this, the second female son felt even more sad, and then thought: "I insist on not saying a word, let's just wait and see how he will deal with it. "Maybe she didn't want others to discuss it, so she wanted to hide this resentment by herself. The maids who understood the previous situation said to each other: "It's a pity!Master Jizhong Nayin is sincere, why didn't you marry him back then? "And said: "Second Miss is really a strange fate! " Although Prince Xiong deeply felt that he had failed the second daughter, but he was greedy by nature and wanted to try his best to please the new couple. "Hey, my good lady, what you said is really thoughtless! You don't feel guilty in your heart, you are very calm, no matter how sweet your tongue is, you can't hide your hypocrisy! You have never invited the worldly, and you are cute, But it’s hard for me. Please put yourself in my shoes and think about it! I really can’t help myself today! If I can fulfill my ambition one day, my love for you will be far more than others. You must be sure of this Believe it. But don’t let this matter out easily, rest your body and wait for a good opportunity.” Just at this moment, the envoy who sent the letter to Liutiaoyuan came back. He was so drunk that he had no scruples and went to the main entrance of the second daughter's residence.His body was almost obliterated by a large number of rewards and clothing, and all the maids knew at a glance that the messenger who sent the condolence letter had returned.The second daughter thought to herself: "When did you write that sympathy letter? You are so eager." I was very unhappy.Although Prince Xiong didn't forcefully want to hide this matter, he felt that it was inappropriate to make it too public and embarrass the second daughter. He secretly hoped that the envoy would be more scheming. Thinking: "Since this is the case, we should try our best to convince her that we have nothing to hide from her." Then he tore the letter open in front of the second daughter.When I read it, it was written by Princess Luoye, the adoptive mother of the six daughters, and I felt a little relieved.Although it is a ghostwriter, it is still embarrassing to look at here.The letter reads: "Yueyang wrote it as a ghostwriter, and I feel very rude, but because my daughter is in a bad mood, I can't thank you in person, so I have to write a reply on my behalf: "The ruthless morning dew is very destructive, and the girl's flowers wither and lose her beauty." His calligraphy is elegant and his writing is beautiful.But Prince Xun said: "This poem contains the meaning of resentment, which is very troublesome. I planned to live here in peace, but I didn't expect accidents!" In fact, if ordinary people follow the monogamy system, the husband Married two wives and one wife is jealous, outsiders will sympathize with her.But Prince Xun cannot compare with ordinary people.Therefore, the occurrence of this matter is also being cleaned up.Everyone in the world thought that among all the stars, only Prince Xun had a special status and was expected to be a crown prince. Even if he married a few more wives, it would not be an exaggeration.Therefore, he married six daughters, and no one complained about the second daughter.On the contrary, the second daughter and son received such favorable treatment and favor, everyone thought it was very lucky.As for the second female son himself, just because he has allocated a special favor for him, and now he is suddenly shared by others, he can't help but feel lonely and lose power.In the past, when she read ancient novels or listened to legends, she often wondered why a woman was deeply saddened by being shared for a man's love.Now when it was my turn, I suddenly realized: this pain is really extraordinary!At this time, Prince Xun's attitude towards the second daughter was more gentle and sincere than usual, and he said to her: "You don't eat anything, I'm afraid you can't bear it!" She cooked delicious food and advised her to use it. But the second daughter still didn't want to eat at all, and Prince Xiong sighed: "This is so difficult! The sky was getting dark during the fire, and in the evening, he went back to his main hall.The evening breeze is cool, the twilight is quiet, and the scenery is very lovely.He is free and easy by nature, and he is even more relaxed at this time.But the depressed second female son had nothing to do with it all night, and Xiao Fenghao was deeply saddened.But hearing the sound of cicadas, it aroused nostalgia for Uji Mountain Villa, and then chanted a poem: "The singing of the cicadas is still in the grass and mountains, and the fall of autumn is arousing people's hatred." Tonight, the prince hurried to Liutiaoyuan just as the night fell.The second female son could only hear the sound of chanting the Tao and disappearing with the wind, and she felt that "compared to the fisherman fishing Pudu", she was also disgusted with her own jealousy. She lay down, thinking about it, recalling that the prince's beginning caused her pain She felt that there was no time for regret. She thought: "The result of this pregnancy is unpredictable.Most of the people in this family are as thin as paper, and I don't know if I will die in dystocia.Although life is not to be cherished, death is sad after all.To die like this is a heinous sin... "Thinking of the pros and cons, she dared not sleep all night until dawn. On the day when the six daughters got married for three dynasties, it happened that Empress Akashi was feeling unwell, and everyone went to the palace to inquire.But the queen was only slightly affected by the cold and was not seriously ill, so Xiwu withdrew soon after.He invited Zhang Zhongnayan to leave the palace together.It was the night ceremony, and Xi Wu wanted to make it magnificent and perfect, but it had its limits.Because of the matter of the six daughters, when he invited Yuan Jun to participate in this meeting, he felt quite sorry, but Dai Jun was the closest blood relative to him among all relatives, and Kuang Dai Jun was quite proficient in ceremonial arrangements and other things, he could be called a master. So he was invited to come.Yijun worked especially hard today, and arrived at Liutiaoyuan ahead of schedule.He didn't feel sorry for the sixth female son who fell into the arms of others, and just worked with Minister Zuo to take care of all affairs with all his heart.Minister Zuo was very unhappy.Prince Xun arrived at Liutiaoyuan after sunset.To the east of the south chamber of the main hall is the seat for the new son-in-law.The eight tables of banquets are spread out one word, and all kinds of utensils are precious and magnificent.There are also two tables of small seats, on which there are carved foot plates containing Sanchao cakes, which are novel and unique in style.All the decorations are elegant and exquisite, and it is difficult to repeat them. Minister Zuo walked out casually and said: "The night is getting dark!" Then he sent a maid to invite the groom to the table. Prince Xiong was flirting with the six daughters for fun, so he didn't come out immediately. Mrs. Yunjuyan's brother Zuoemon came out first督及藤宰相。片刻后,新郎方来到,言谈举止风流无比。主人头中将向旬亲王敬酒,殷勤劝菜。董君亦殷切劝酒,匈亲王只是对他微笑不止。恐是他回想起曾与黛君说过“左大臣家规严厉刻板”,且认此亲事实不相称之故而对尊君微笑不止吧,然黛君似乎并不解其微笑之意,只管郑重其事地四处招呼众人。东厅的旬亲王所带随从亦受到蔡君犒赏,其中大多为位尊权高之人:赏赐四位者六人每人一套女装及一件长褂;五位者十人,每人赏赐三重裙腰装饰各不相同的唐装一套;六位者四人,每人赏赐统绸长褂及裙等。犒赏品按其规定,在数量上似觉菲薄,便在配色及质料上精心选材,细致加工,务求完美。对亲王的贴身侍卫及诸舍人,犒赏物品最为丰盛众人难及。此等盛隆热闹景致,原是人人百看不厌的,此种情状,古文小说早有描述,大约亦不过如此吧?此处所列,恐怕尚太肤浅呢。 几个地位稍低的素君随从,看此盛况后,回到三条宫邪不断叹息道:“我们这主人觉此般迂腐憨厚,为何不作左大臣的女婿呢?孤家寡人有何好处啊?”黄君听到他们于中门旁大发牢骚后,并未言语,只觉可笑。此时夜已很深,他们睡意股俄,见句亲王的随从人等趾高气扬地酒足饭饱后躺于一处休息,羡慕不已。蒸君步入室内,躺着想道:“当这新女婿多过意不去啊!本是直系亲眷,却变法般神气十足地成了他家女婿,于辉煌烛火下举杯交欢,匈亲王倒对付得头头是道,不失礼貌呢。”他钦佩句亲王举态优雅得体。又想:“他的确很好,我倘有此爱女,亦宁愿嫁与他,而不送入宫中。世人皆愿招句亲王为婿,然众人又道:'源中纳言更好呢。'此话已为世人说惯。可见世人对我亦很钦佩呢。只是我的性情太古板、乖劣。”想到此,颇有点自鸣得意。又想:上皇有意将二公主下嫁于我,倘真个如此,这倒是件增光添彩的事。但未知二公主品貌如何,倘肖似大女公子,那真乃荣幸之极了。”有此想法,可见他还是有意的。他反复思量,不能入眠,便走进侍女按察君房中,此女平日甚得餐君怜受。他在此直睡至无明。其实即便睡到日高当头,亦不会遭人非议,而他却很张惶,即刻起身。这侍女颇为不快,吟诗道: “偷结良缘越禁关,留传恶名忧情断。”蒸中纳言甚觉对她不住,便无可奈何地答道: “人疑关河水面浅,不绝深渊底下流。”即便是“深”,尚不能安靠,更何况说“水面浅”呢!这侍女越发难过了。他打开边门,软声说道:“我近来夜不能寐,觉得长夜难捱,思量人生之事,不觉悲苦至极。因此心中很不宁静,我只想到你房中看看那游弋飘荡的天空,并不是效仿风流人物。”如此推诿一番,便出门而去了。他不爱对女子说柔情蜜意的话,然而她们仍不视他为无情之人,这或许是他俊俏风流,吸引人的缘故吧。他们即使偶尔能听听他的声音,看看他的容貌,亦就满足了。或是因此缘故吧,许多女子为了逐这可怜的心愿,而宁愿屈身到三条宫耶夫为已做僧尼的三公主当侍女。随之不同的身份,亦就生出不同哀婉的故事。 匈亲王于昼间细看六女公子容颜,甚觉艳美,对她越发深爱了。六女公子生得玲珑剔透,婀娜多姿,那披肩秀发,冰雪肌肤,耀眼生辉,见者无不为之动容。总之,全身无一处瑕疵,誉为'准人”实不为过。芳龄有约二十一二,正位青春鼎盛,故发育完全,身体丰盈圆润,正似怒放的花朵。父亲悉心调教,关怀备至,故品性亦甚高洁。难怪父母视若掌上明珠。但就娇媚与温柔而论,却不及二条院那位二女公子,六女公子与亲王面晤时,虽亦害羞,但并不一味垂眉低首,处处显露出才艺双全与敏达干练。她那些侍女、女童,无不容颜出众,穿戴独具匠心,其美观令人惊异。此次婚仪,其隆盛胜过了云居雁的大女公子入宫当太子妃,或许是为了显示旬亲王的声望与自己的姿色之故吧。 这以后,匈亲王不能随意前往二条院。因身份高贵之故,昼间只能于六条院南部昔日惯居之地度日,不便随意出门。夜间要伴随六女公子而不能赴二条院。故而二女公子时常望眼欲穿,亦不见其来。她想:“这本乃预料中事,但想不到断绝如此迅捷。能怪谁呢?只怪当初主意不坚,高攀了贵人。”万般思量,只觉当时草率出走山庄,实乃南柯一梦,今已悔之不及,不胜悲伤。又想:“如此苦待,倒不如寻个机会,返还宇治,虽不与他断绝,但亦可暂慰我苦衷呵!只要不与之结怨,便无纺大碍。”她思虑再三,终于鼓起勇气,诚恳地给黄中纳言写了一封信,信中道:“前日有劳为亡父举办法事,阿阎梨已详述于我,若你忘却旧情,不诚挚追念,其在天之灵将何等孤寂!受你恩惠,不胜感激。倘遇机缘,定当面谢。”写于陆奥纸上,字娟秀,不拘格式,随意直书。然亦清秀可爱。童中纳言为已故八亲王三周年忌辰大做功德之事,二女公子甚感欣慰,向他由衷致谢。虽只言片语,却情真意挚。二女公子对意中纳言来信作复,向来顾虑重重,不敢畅怀倾述。此次却亲为致书,并且提及“面谢”,袁中纳言看罢如受其恩宠,心情为之振奋。他推想定是旬亲王贪新弃旧,使二女公子孤寂难耐,对她甚为怜悯。此信虽言词直率,全无风趣,餐中纳言却再三细阅,推敲思量,不忍释手。他复信说道:“来信拜读,一切均悉。前日亲王三周年忌辰,小生以圣僧之虔诚,前往祭奠追念。小生知你意欲前往,窃以为此举甚为不宜,便未曾奉告而独自前往了,来书赞我'不忘旧谊'未免对小生情缘不解,甚为张恨。余容面陈,惶恐拜复。”他将此信直率地写于一张坚实的白纸上。 翌日向晚,由于意中纳言思恋二女公子之情突然转浓,便来到二条院,故今日打扮更为精心。他将衣服黛得香气异常浓烈。那把惯用的丁香汁染的扇子轻握手中。全身华丽雅致,香气芬芳无可言喻。二女公子亦时常忆起当年发生在宇治山庄的事情,那一夜竟如此离奇古怪,令人难以释怀,那时她才真正了解到他的品性正派无邪。于是在她心中才出现了那个怪念头:“即便草率嫁与此人,亦是不错的。”她已不再是错懂少儿,将那该死的句亲王与之一比,倏觉天渊之别。但思昔日常与地隔物相会,甚觉歉然,深恐被他视作不解风情的女子。故而今日将其请人帘内,只在帘前设一帷屏,自己坐于里间稍远处与他相谈。意中纳言恭敬地说道:“今虽非小姐特召,但幸蒙破例面晤,欣喜倍至,当应即刻叩访。但听闻昨日亲王来府,顾忌颇多,因而推延至今。承谢赐坐帘内,只隔帷屏,想见小生多年痴情,终为你理解,真乃难得啊!”二女公子仍旧心慌恼羞,一时不知怎样回答。好容易答道:“先父三周年忌辰,幸蒙代祭,感激不尽,若像往昔般掩埋于心,则连细微谢忱亦难报答,实甚歉愧,故而……”她说话时态度谦恭,声音柔如玉纶之音。但其身体逐渐退缩,因而言语断续不接,声音隐隐约约。黄中纳言焦急不堪,对她说道:“恕我冒昧,小姐与我相隔太远了!我正想畅怀颂述,并聆听指教呢。”二女公子亦觉相距太远,便稍稍膝行而前。冀中纳言听其走近,心如免撞,脸红耳热,然片刻便镇静如常,佯装若无其事。他想起句亲王对二女公子如此薄情,便仗义指责,并又殷切安慰,好言相劝了一阵。二女公子虽满怀怨恨,但认为家丑不可外扬,便缄口不语,只向他表示“不怨处世难……”之意,用只言片语合开话题,然后委婉恳求他带她前往宇治。 黛中纳言答道:“依我之见,此事实难效劳。你必须先据实地告知亲王,征其指示,方为善举。否则,稍有闪失,亲王怪罪下来,小姐必难承受。亲王一旦同意,则迎送诸等事情,小生自应全力担负,岂敢怠慢!小生为人向来秉正无私,迥异寻常男子,亲王对此最为深知。”他口上说得没事,其实无时不悔恨自己为何将二女公子轻易让与亲王。他多想真如古歌所咏“但愿时光能倒流”,而将二女公子娶回呀。他便将此意含蓄地吐露给二女公子,谈说间,暮色已近。二女公子觉得如此久留他于帝内实乃不妥,便对他道:“罢了,今日我心绪烦乱,且待略微好转,再谨聆指教吧。”说道便朝内室走去。章中纳言万分懊恼,急说道:“也罢,但小姐准备几时动身去宇治呢?我可遣人除去路上蔓草,以免沾染邪气。”他以此讨好她。二女公子暂且止步,答道:“本月已过大半,延至下月初吧。只须微行前往,不必郑重地求人准许。”黄中纳言闻其声音,甚觉清脆悦耳,便更热烈地回忆往事,沉溺其中了。 他炽火上升,实难忍耐。竟探身进入帘内,将二女公子的衣袖扯住。二女公子想道:“原来他居心叵测,真厌恶啊!”她一言不发,只是本能地往后退缩。蒸君则拉着她的衣袖,顺势将剩在帝外的半个身子也挪进帘内,并且毫无顾忌地躺在她身边,说道:“我还记得,小姐曾说'没人看见是无妨的',我怕听错,便进来问一下,请不要避开我!你这态度多教人伤心啊!”说时满含怨恨之情。她无意回答,只觉荒唐耻辱,怒火攻心,差点晕厥。最后强行镇静下来,说道:“你真用心险恶啊!这成什么样子呢?你太卑鄙了!”她辱骂他,几乎哭出来,董中纳言觉得此话不无道理,颇感愧疚,但仍强行分辩:“此举不会遭人责难。可记得当年曾有一夜与你如此对晤?当年你姐姐也应允我亲近你而你却视为无礼,你也太不识大体了。我无丝毫色情之心,你尽可放心。”他说时理直气壮,颇有几分冤枉受屈的样子,只因他近日时常追悔旧事,心动中痛苦不堪,便在二小姐面前絮絮叨叨地吐露心迹,心中才稍得安慰,竟毫无离去的样子。对此,她一筹莫展,只觉得这种人比那素不相识的人更为可恶,难以对付,推吞声饮泣,蒸中纳言对她说道:“你太孩子气了,何必呢?”他举目凝视二女公子,那娇美怜爱之态,无可言喻。其典雅含蓄,比之当年夜间所见更趋丰盈成熟。念起昔日主动将其让与外面人,以致今日如此魂牵梦绕,追悔莫及,怨气难消,竟呜呜咽咽地哭了起来,二小姐身边侍女见一男人钻进帘来,不知何事,便急忙走过来瞧。见是黛中纳言,知他是常来探望关怀的熟人。推想今日定有别事来访,便佯装不知,退到外面去了。二女公子更感孤怜了。黄中纳言对当年的失误,痛悔不迭,心若翻江倒海,竟一时镇静不下来。然昔日一夜面晤,尚且规矩无比,坐怀不乱,今日定不会越礼胡来。但此种事情,无须赘述。黄中纳言深感此行徒然无益,不胜懊恨,若外人看了还有失体面。思虑再三,终告辞而去。 袁中纳吉已意乱情迷,只道是深夜,哪知天早已破晓。他唯恐狼狈之相被人看到,遭来讥耻,心中烦乱不堪。这亦是为二女公子名誉着想。他听闻二女公子身体不适是因怀孕而起,今日看来并非传言,否则为何在身上束那条腰带呢?餐中纳言亦觉可怜,所以才不忍恣肆任为,他想:“这般懊丧悔恨,只怨我屡失良机,未能抓住呀,然而有悖清理之事,我是不会干的;况且凭一时冲动而偷得片刻欢乐,势必提心吊胆,心无宁日。份请求欢,实在是劳神费力,亦为女方平添忧患。”然而他这种理智的想法终抑制不住本能的情感之火,二小姐的影子如影附髓,时刻浮于眼前,那优雅的举止,风流娴雅的面影,使他神魂颠倒。他立志非将她弄到手方能罢休,此心实甚叵测,但却无法摆脱,因此一切事情皆抛置脑后了。他只是想:“二女公子让我陪她赶赴宇治,这正是机会呢。只恐句亲王那关不好过,况偷偷出走毕竟有失体面,怎样方可不受世人非议而又能冠冕堂皇地遂成心愿呢?”他神不守舍地回到家中,恰茫躺下。 清晨晨境初开,他便慌忙不迭地写信与二女公子。照例表面是华丽.高雅的文章,附诗一首: “懊恨空归繁露道,秋客依旧似当年。”遭冷遇,使我'不明事理杜多忧'。呜呼,我已无言可陈。”二女公子极不愿回复,又深恐失礼,引众侍女诧怪,因此反复思量,最终是寥寥几字打发了事:“来信拜悉。心绪木佳,未能详复为歉。”蒸中纳言折阅复信,韩觉言少情淡,大扫兴致,只一味痴迷地回想着她的面影。想必二女公子今已通达人情世故,因此昨夜对黛中纳言虽坚持痛斥,但也并不异常厌恶他,态度不卑不亢,从容文静,婉转温和,终于东推西躲,巧妙地将其走。蒸中纳言此刻回想她那娇媚生恨模样,既嫉恨,又伤感,愁闷不堪。他想:“此人较前更为优秀了。她有朝一日倘被旬亲王遗弃,我倒愿意接纳她,即便不能公然结为夫妻,却可暗中偷欢,况我本无伴侣,对她亦是真心,何伯之有?”他只管幻想此等美梦,其用心真乃不良。表面仁义正直,原是另有所图啊。然男子之心原皆是可恶的,并非他特别。大女公子之死,令人悲囫难忍,但并不如此次这般痛苦,教人愁肠百结,悲恨交加,其苦非言语所能表达。他一听见人道:“匈亲王今日又来二条院了。”便幕然忘却自己乃二女公子娘家的后援人,顿时醋意横生,心若刀割。
