Chapter 23 third quarter

The wonderful thing about Yoritomo is that he still doesn't learn how to behave after encountering such a sad thing, and continues to plan for the next step. ——Is this the "noble man is ruthless" in Kyoto dialect? The admirers of Yoritomo who worked in the exile also felt quite trembling when they saw Yoritomo's expression as usual. In fact, Raitomo is not as calm inside as he looks on the outside.He resented Yuqin's entry into Taoism, the sorrow of his child being killed and the humiliation of being a father, others would not understand. However, Yoritomo did not show these emotions, he was as calm as an abyss.A few days later, as if it occurred to him, he said to Bonton:

"Hojo has a daughter too." Even Bang Tong seemed to have difficulty understanding Raitomo's psychology, so he remained silent.Admirers such as Sasaki Taro Jotsuna beside him couldn't help showing expressions of fear. However, none of them think Lai Chao is abnormal. (As expected of Raitomo!) They think that after all, they are nobles, so they will have this kind of reaction.Naturally, they think so because they value Raichao. "Have!" Bunton cried out loudly.The loud voice is to get rid of the impression of Ito's tragedy.Talking about the daughter of a wealthy family who can rival Ito is only disgusting at present.

Hojo Village is only a few steps away from Hirushima Island. When the weather is clear, you can see the forest around the mansion from the place of exile. This Hojo clan is the master of his own country beyond the Ito clan.Since the Hera family exiled Yoritomo to Izu, the Ito and Hojo families have been given the task of monitoring. There is no doubt that the Hojo family is also the Taira family. However, it is not the Kiyomori Heira family that is currently in power in Kyoto. Although they all originated from the Huanwu Heira Clan, they have branched since ancient times. They became locals of Izu a long time ago, and the Kyoto Heira Clan did not regard them as the same clan. look at.

In ancient times, they lived in Wadazhuang in Atami, and they moved to Hojo several generations ago. They opened up many fertile fields in the Kano River basin and built manors. The head of the Hojo clan is called Hojo Tokimasa. He is not as sharp-edged as Ito Yukino. He looks like the master of an ordinary family no matter how he looks. He is very dull, and sometimes people don't know what he is thinking. (That master is not easy to deal with.) Even Bunton kept him at arm's length.However, Bangtong made a wrong judgment on the matter of protecting relatives, so it is inconvenient to say anything else, and only flatters Laitomo.

"There are two adult girls in Hojo's family. I'm going to investigate their beauty and ugliness." At this time, Yoritomo has already faced the situation where he has to go to the Hojo Pavilion in person—— Ito Yukin felt that the matter had not been resolved, so he wanted to simply kill Yoritomo and send his head to Kyoto. Naturally, the sinner who killed the Heike family would not be convicted, but instead would be praised by the Rokuboro Yakuza, right?Maybe it would be suspicious to let Lai Chao survive. Youqin sent an assassin group. It was Yuqing who urgently reported to Lai Chao.

At night, Yoritomo's entourage fought vigilantly, and Tokuro Morinaga, who had a good relationship with the Hojo family, urgently asked them to let Yoritomo hide for a while. Only Sasaki Jotsuna was left in the exile. He imitated Yoritomo to make the sound of chanting, and continued to beat the wooden fish.When Ito's men broke in, Dingzuna planned to be Yoritomo's stand-in. Bangtong took out a steed from the stable and asked Lai Chao to ride on it, and he fled to Beijo with him. The master Shizheng is not in the Hojo Pavilion at this time. After Ito Yuki came back, he changed the political affairs and went to Kyoto for a big round.

Hojo's family was left behind by his wife and eldest son Zongshi. "Please come here!" The Hojo family accepted Yoritomo without any objection, but not because they had a good impression of Yoritomo, but because of their favor.This is the practice of the samurai from Donghai to Bandong. They gave Lai Chao two independent houses. Lai Chao lived in the one with the straw roof, and Bangtong and Shengchang lived in the other one with the wooden roof. "I saw his daughter at the fence." When Bangtong said this, it was the third day of living in the Hojo House. After careful questioning, I found out that the ex-wife gave birth to the eldest daughter and the second wife gave birth to the second daughter.In terms of appearance, the daughter of his ex-wife is more beautiful.


The Hojo family has many descendants. Among the boys, only Zongshi has already performed the adult ceremony, and among the other sons, Yishi is more known to later generations.Judging from the names after the coming-of-age ceremony, there are three male Shifang, four male Zhengfan, and the 21-year-old eldest daughter Zhengzi.There are eleven brothers and sisters in the mansion, the noise is really unusual. Of course, everyone would talk about Yoritomo, but the only ones who would treat the exile who lived in another house and had never actually met him as a young man were the only ones Masako and his sister.

One morning, my sister came to Zhengzi's room and said that she had a dream last night. "At midnight?" "It's dawn." "What dream?" Zhengzi's heart beat rapidly.She wondered if her sister also fell in love with the exile who lived in another house?Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to have such a dream after waking up. "Tell me to see, I'll help you make a fortune teller." Masako has a peculiar personality. She likes learning, loves to read books written in Chinese characters or pseudonyms, and is familiar with song studies or stories.It can be said that her wedding date was delayed due to her excessive preference for words.As the eldest daughter of the Hojo family, she has a beautiful appearance, so it is impossible that no one came to propose marriage.However, Zhengzi hated those local warriors who couldn't even write their own names.She was dissatisfied with all the relative proposers, but because she was really likable, the political affairs let her go.

However, exiles from Leech Isle came to the mansion. Masako had heard about Yoritomo's daily life in Hiruko Island before, and admired his Kyoto-style elegance very much. However, as the daughter of the Hojo family and an exile, it was impossible to get married in the society at that time. So she also gave up.But now the exile came to his own home. Her longing has a strong sense of reality.Although I haven't seen Lai Chao's face yet, the clear voice of reading scriptures in the morning and evening will always come with the wind. At this time, my sister said that she had a dream, saying that she had climbed a very high mountain, put the sun and the moon in her sleeve, and still held an orange branch in her hand.

"Is it a bad dream?" Masako didn't answer, desperately trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart. She thought of a similar story—Emperor Chuiren, the eleventh generation of the Emperor, accepted the advice of his mother and summoned the five daughters of Lord Danbo, four of whom entered the harem.He planned to make whoever is pregnant with the crown prince the queen.The eldest daughter became pregnant first, and gave birth to a boy, who later became Emperor Keigyoki, and she became the empress as a matter of course, and was honored as Hiba Kohime.It is said that she ate oranges when she was pregnant, so the dream of my younger sister is of course an auspicious dream, and it is also a dream that will give birth to someone in power in the future. "Oranges are very important, are you sure you have the orange branch?" Masako moved his knees slightly forward. "yes, I'm sure." The younger sister was frightened by Masako's tone, thinking it was a bad dream. (It's Jimon!) However, Masako didn't say that, but told his sister that it was a bad dream.My sister was terrified. "It's recorded in this article," Zhengzi said with a straight face, making her words authoritative: "Ji Meng will not be reported to anyone for three years, and fierce dream will not be reported to anyone for seven days. Do you know what it means?" "I have no idea!" "It means that if it is an ominous dream, if you tell others within seven days, you will suffer disaster. Whether it is death or serious illness, you will encounter great things." The younger sister was very frightened. "Sister, is there a way to get rid of it? Is it written in this article? How can I avoid the disaster?" "This..." Masako thought about it, and she came up with a plan, but it was not a plan to save her sister, but a way to help her luck. "This article says that there is a method of transferring dreams, that is, selling them to others, so that disasters can be avoided. Let me buy them!" The younger sister was very surprised, she hesitated, in this way, wouldn't the elder sister also suffer from the disaster of the fierce dream?Zhengzi smiled and said: "After the dream is bought and sold, neither party will encounter disaster. Do you want to sell it?" "Yes!" My sister shouted. Masako nodded, and chose some expensive clothes for his younger sister - a Tang mirror passed down from generation to generation in the Hojo family, and a coat.She didn't think it was a pity, but instead felt that if she didn't buy the dream with the most expensive things around her, the great things implied in the dream would not come true.
Bunton continued to monitor the two women. "Let's decide on the eldest daughter Masako!" The eldest daughter is good-looking and lively.However, Lai Chao objected, thinking that the second daughter is better. "Is my sister better?" Bang Tong didn't understand, although the younger sister was quieter, but she was ordinary-looking, no matter how you looked at it, she didn't think she was better than her older sister. "Women should be lively!" He cited the preferences of the dignitaries in Kyoto - if it is not a woman who makes people feel lively and energetic, there is no meaning and value to pursue hard. "No! Second daughter is good." Lai Chao said stubbornly. (This man doesn't seem to understand women yet. Anyone who looks at it must say that Masako is better?) Bang Tong then asked Lai Chao's reason. There is only one reason: the eldest daughter is the son of his ex-wife, and the second daughter is the son of the second wife.Raitomo has no love. Everything is about politics.The son of his ex-wife, he already has the former prisoner of Yae, the daughter of the Ito family.If Yae is from the stepwife, the stepwife will protect his daughter because he loves his daughter, his son will not be killed, and this relationship will not reach the point where it is difficult to reconcile.It is said that he was encouraged by his stepmother to do so. "So that's the case, you are worthy of foresight." Bang Tong admires Lai Chao's way of thinking. Yoritomo doesn't just care about his own feelings or preferences.Bangtong suddenly felt that as long as the exile was lucky enough, he might be able to conquer the world.He then resolutely abandoned his proposal. "Then find my sister!" Bang Tong was quick-witted, he tore up the love poems to be given to Zhengzi without regret, immediately picked up the pen, thinking about the appearance of the second daughter in his mind, and immediately took up the pen to write down the love poems suitable for the second daughter. The person in charge of delivering the letter was Hikini's son-in-law Adachi Kuro Morinaga.Tokuro is a master of bows and arrows. He teaches archery to the boys of the Hojo family. Because of this relationship, he is responsible for delivering letters. However, he is not a man suitable for this kind of work. He has his own ideas, and he thinks what Lai Chao said to Bangtong earlier is stupid. (Of course Masako is better!) That's how it looks from the outside.Raitomo has never seen the faces of the two of them, so he has the kind of foresighted determinism of the ex-wife's stepmother, but his judgment is wrong. The stepmother of the Hojo family is a very gentle and kind woman, unlike Ito Yuki stepmother. Fujikuro Moricho sat in the shade of the tree in the mansion halfway, and secretly opened the letter box to take a look. Fortunately, the name of the recipient was not written. He immediately displayed the stubbornness unique to Bando people, and decided decisively that he must send this letter to Masako. Tokuro went into action, delivering the letter to Masako. "It was given to you by Zuodian." As soon as he had finished speaking, he ran into the bushes.Masako opened the letter box—— There is a love poem in it.She began to read, feeling like a noble lady in a boudoir in Kyoto. (Worthy of being a direct descendant of the Yuan family.) Masako is not intoxicated in love, but in the noble atmosphere of this love. In a rural place like Izu, who would create such an atmosphere?Masako's long-cherished hope is about to come true, and she has a strange feeling: maybe it was that lucky dream that made it happen. (Must be so!) The man who had the orange dream would give birth to the emperor, and Masako bought that dream. (If you didn't buy that dream, the one who opened the letter box now should be your younger sister, right?) Masako thought so. A few years later, Masako knew about Yoritomo's worries at the time and Tokuro Morinaga's arbitrariness, and felt that the fact of buying a dream was amazing. Zhengzi immediately took out the transcript of the ancient poems as copybooks, and wrote a poem in response to Lai Chao. A few days later, Lai Chao quietly came to Masako's room.Masako is very bold, unlike the women in Kyoto, she is brightly lit waiting for Yoritomo to arrive. She asked Lai Chao to sit on the cushion, and then bowed to introduce herself solemnly.Her calmness makes it hard to believe that she is a virgin. "I am the eldest daughter of the government, and my name is Ping Zhengzi." She said grandly to Lai Chao who came to have an affair. Raito was confused.This is completely different from the examples of the ministers and officials in the capital that Bangtong told him. Maybe it is the style of Bando? (In this case, what should I do?) Raitomo then smiled slightly, and answered her self-introduction. Masako was very satisfied with Raitomo's elegance and charm, and felt that it was exactly as she had imagined. She looked directly at Raitomo, constantly wanting to feel Raitomo's aristocratic aura.However, her appearance made it impossible for Raitomo to associate with lust. She raised her eyebrows like a boy, and looked at Raitomo with a dignified expression. "What kind of stories do you like to hear?" Lai Chao asked something similar. "The story of the Pingzhi Rebellion." Zhengzi replied immediately. After Yoshitomo's defeat, Yoshitomo's father fled Kyoto, was killed in Owari, and Yoshitomo was arrested—Masako pestered him to tell the story.This is really a very inappropriate topic to bring up when you are in a relationship. "That was when I was only thirteen years old..." Yoshitomo fought his way out of the rebellious army in Kyoto. In order to make a comeback in Kanto Higashiyama, he wanted to flee to the east.In addition to Yoshitomo, the fleeing group also included the eldest son Yoshihei, the second son Toomachi, the third son Yoritomo, one of Yoshitomo's subordinates, the son of the wet nurse Kamada Masaaki, Sado Shikibu doctor Shigeunari, Hiraga Shiro Yoshinobu, etc. There were only eight horses in total. Passing Longhua on the way, he was blocked by the monk Ruishan, and managed to break out of the siege, but the second son Chaochang's left thigh was shot hard by an arrow. "Does it hurt?" Yichao asked while running. "It doesn't hurt at all!" Running towards the long side, he pulled out the arrow himself. "The head of the court was only sixteen years old at the time." Lai Chao said to Masako. After Chaochang arrived in Meinong, he was finally unable to move on because of his injuries, and even couldn't commit suicide, so he begged his father to kill him. (Worthy of being a member of the Yuan family!) Masako imagined the frightening scene—— It was already severe winter, and the road from Omi to Mino was snowing heavily. Yoritomo walked on the way to Omi, exhausted from the daytime battle and the night march in the snow, and finally fell asleep on his horse. When he was dazed in the saddle, he got separated from the whole team and came to the post station of Omi Shoushan alone. The natives blocked his way.Among them, a man named Gennai Hei Masahiro ran out, trying to catch Lai Chao.When he took the rein-- "Are you not polite?" Yoritomo pulled out the "Rigiri" tachi, cut Gennaihei's face in half, broke through the encirclement and ran out. "The next thing is a bit like a dream, I only remember bits and pieces." Lai Chao said with a smile. He didn't seem to want to talk about his father being killed in Nagata Shoji's bathhouse, and that he was captured by Kiyomori's subordinate Hiramune Kiyoshi near Mino Sekigahara.However, Zhengzi has heard about these things from other people, and she is very familiar with every scene like reading a picture book. When she said this to Raito, Raito smiled: "What kind of person are you?" He felt more and more special about Zhengzi, and couldn't help becoming excited, telling anecdotes about his elder brother, Eyuan Taiyiping, and his magnificent and splendid martial arts scenes. Masako was fascinated by what he heard, his eyes stared straight. (This is Yuanjia!) She had to think so. The Minamoto characters who appear in Yoritomo's stories are all so brave, and they are completely different from the appearance of the Heike Gongqing heard from his father Shizheng. When Yoritomo was surprised to find that it was already daylight, he stood up. "What's next?" Masako asked naively, "Tell me the story of your ancestor Hachimantaro Yoshika. My father said that the regulations of the warriors in the Eastern Kingdom, the methods of fighting, and the rules of the bow and arrow competition were all stipulated by the Yoshika. is that true?" "I've also heard that it seems to be the case." Yoritomo nodded again, and returned to the other room in the morning sunlight. After Sheng Chang's wife served breakfast, Bangtong came in. "What's the situation?" Bang Tong closed one eye and smiled meaningfully, but Lai Chao showed a strange expression. "What's the matter?" Bang Tong was worried that something was different. "That girl is different!" Lai Chao slightly tilted his head and replied. Bunton thought he was referring to the anatomy of the body. "Impossible! Even though women's appearances are vastly different, they are all the same after taking off their clothes." "It's not like this!" Raitomo explained everything.When talking about the last matter of Hachimantaro's righteous family, Bangtong finally couldn't help patting his forehead, desperately trying to suppress his smile. (It turns out that I like to listen to the stories of the samurai family! It is really different from ordinary people.) Not only that, but her cheerful and calm demeanor in front of Raitomo was different from any other women stored in Bangtong's knowledge base. "Bangtong, what you're talking about are women from Kyoto. There should be such a person among the daughters of famous lords like Dongguo or Bandong who are often in contact with the outside world?" "Since this is the case, facing opponents in the countryside, the way of fighting will change!" "OK!" Raito laughed out loud.It seems that in the face of this unusual girl, it is better not to accept Bangtong's guidance, but to use nature. (The first time I met a girl with a samurai atmosphere.) Action-oriented, straightforward personality, can not be measured by the general standard of beauty, completely different from the women in Kyoto. (quite different!) Lai Chao has a good impression of Masako.Thinking about it carefully, Yoritomo always feels a bit out of place with the Kyoto woman mentioned by Bangtong.He felt that Zhengzi had allowed him to spend such a happy time without giving him a chance to touch his little hand, and such a woman would attract his heart even more. "There are many types of women too!" Bang Tong also had to raise the flag of surrender. What made Bangtong's view of women collapse even more was what happened the next night. That night, Zhengzi ran across the yard, climbed over the fence, and ran into Lai Chao's house. (It turned out to be a woman running here by herself!) Bangtong shook his head violently and exited Yoritomo's room.Tokuro Moricaga and his wife also put on their straw sandals and went to another house. Raitomo barely slept the night before, and was somewhat tired when he met Masako face to face in the dim light.But Zhengzi's eyes were shining brightly, and he couldn't tell that he hadn't slept for two days. In the middle of the night, Yoritomo was finally tired.He acted immediately. "Masako, close your eyes!" When Lai Chaoyi said, Masako immediately closed his eyes bluntly.Yoritomo was a little disappointed, he stood up and blew out the lights of the candlestick. Yoritomo's hand touched Masako's body.Masako seemed to have been mentally prepared for a long time, and did not show the attitude of rebellion like the three daughters of Ito, and naturally accepted Yoritomo's body. Ito's daughter was holding her breath and couldn't bear Raitomo's actions, but Masako was different. She was afraid that people outside would hear her, so she gasped softly, but occasionally she still let out a sharp cry. Next, according to Bangtong's rules, the story should be told on the bed.However, fatigue caused both parties to forget all the rules. Yoritomo fell asleep as if after a battle, and Masako fell asleep at the same time. The next morning, after the sun had risen three poles, the two sides realized how embarrassed each other was. Masako opened his eyes and leaned over.Surprised by her boldness, Yoritomo pulled Masako's body again. (I've already achieved my goal with the Hojo family, haven't I?) he thinks.
During this period, Kuro Yoshitsune escaped from Kurama, went down to Kanto, and was heading for Oshu.He walked on in his own shadow, without a companion.
