Chapter 70 Chapter 12 Six Modern Poets

"You replied to us with blank paper, how can you not make people angry! If we accept it silently, those young masters will be even more arrogant. I will go to them to argue, and I must call Taifu Yoshino here." The game is regardless of age, and Huiwu Shaoyu played endlessly through a little drunkenness.When things don't go your way, you willfully play your temper. "take me!" As he spoke, he grabbed Mrs. Mo Ju's shoulders and stood up. "Forget it!" Guangyue who was sitting on the side stopped him. "No! I'm going to bring Yoshino here. Banner will take me there, and General Ben will go out in person. Anyone who is not convinced will follow me!"

Although he was worried that Shaoyou would get drunk and make trouble, but letting him go would not necessarily be dangerous.Besides, it would be boring if nothing in the world was dangerous.Only when the human world is slightly dangerous can it appear wonderful, and only then can it show the interest of the game world. The old man Shaoyou has tasted the ups and downs of the world, and he knows the rules of the game very well.It's especially hard to get over a guy like him when he's drunk. The geisha persuaded him while supporting him: "Mr. Funabashi, it's dangerous for you to walk like this!"

Shaoyou was very unhappy when he heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about! Even if I'm drunk, I just can't stand on my feet, but my heart is very clear!" "Then, you go around alone!" The geishas let go, and he immediately slumped down on the corridor. "I can't walk anymore, come and carry me." What he was going to was just another room under the same roof, but he had to go to such great lengths, dragging and tugging in the corridor.Shaoyou will definitely say that this is also one of the fun of playing. The drunk man pretended to be crazy and foolish, and even made things difficult for the geisha on the way.He was skinny and slender, but he had a stubborn personality.As soon as he thought of Karasuma Mitsuhiroki and his party sending a reply letter without words from heaven, he was occupying Taifu Yoshino in another room at the moment, enjoying himself triumphantly, and he cursed secretly in his heart:

"You childish son, you dare to show off your cleverness——" In the past, even the samurai were afraid of the public ministers, and they were also ranks that the samurai could not handle.But now the big businessmen in Kyoto don't take them seriously.Frankly speaking, as long as there are benefits, these ministers will obey everything.Because the title of "Gongqing" is just a name with no salary or salary.As long as someone spends money to provide them with proper satisfaction, attaches to their elegance, associates with them with a noble attitude; agrees with their official positions, and allows them to show off themselves, they can be manipulated like puppets.

"Which room is Han Yan in? Is it here?" Shaoyou touched the brightly lit ornate paper door, and was about to open it when he bumped into a person. "Ah! I thought who it was!" It turned out that the monk Ze'an, who was not suitable for this place, just poked his head out of it. "what!" Both of them were surprised and opened their eyes wide, delighted at this unexpected encounter.Shaoyou put his arms around Ze'an's neck and said: "So you are here, monk!" Zean also put his arms around Shaoyou's neck, imitating his tone: "So uncle, you are here too!"

The two drunks rubbed each other's dirty cheeks like lovers. "You'll enjoy it!" "Each! Each other!" "I miss you so much." "It's a pleasure to see you as a monk." The two of them knocked each other's head and licked each other's nose. Their drunken behavior was really puzzling. After Zean walked out of the room, the sound of the paper door closing could be heard continuously in the corridor.Mixed with a nasal sound like a spring cat.Mitsuhiro Karasuma smiled wryly at Konoe Shinyin who was sitting across from him. "Ha! Sure enough, as I expected, the long-winded guy must have come here."

Guangguang is a young rich man who looks about thirty years old.He was a handsome man with fair skin, thick eyebrows, red lips, and a pair of talented eyes. One of his usual sayings is: "There are many martial arts families in the world, why was I born in Gongqing's family?" Under his elegant appearance, he hides a strong personality.Resenting the tide of samurai politics. "Smart and young Gongqing, if you don't worry about the current situation at all, you are really an idiot!" Guangguang is not shy about this idea, in other words: "The military family is a hereditary position. But weapons blind political power, and there will be unprecedented checks and balances between the right and the left. The public minister is like a festival decoration, just a political puppet. Being born in such an environment is a mistake of the gods. As a minister, you can only do two things—worries and drinking. If this is the case, it would be better to lie on the knees of beauties drunk, watch the flowers and moon, and drink and have fun!"

This noble son has been promoted from "Tibetan head" to "Dabian" and is now serving as the "counselor" of the imperial court, but he often visits Liutiaoliu Street.Because he thinks that only in this world can he forget all the unpleasant things. Among such young but worried ministers, Masakaya Asuka, Mihisa Tokudaiji, Tadacho Hanayamain and others are different from the Samurai family. When you come here, you are regarded as a human being. They come here only to drink and make trouble.However, the person brought by Guangguang tonight is different from them, he is a person of noble character.

This fellow is called Konoe Nobuyoshi, about ten years older than Mitsuhiro Mo, calm and steady with delicate features.The only fly in the ointment is that there are light black pockmarks on his plump cheeks. When it comes to pockmarked faces, Kazuno Kamakura and Genshichao also have pockmarked faces.So the pockmarked face is not just the shortcoming of Konoe Shinyin.It is particularly worth mentioning that although he has such a magnificent status as "the elder of the former Guan Bai family", he never mentions it to others.He is only famous for his calligraphy as an amateur pastime, and he walks the rivers and lakes under the name of "Jinwei Sanliuyuan".And when sitting next to Taifu Yoshino, he just kept smiling, it seemed that he was really a pockmarked man of noble character.

When Konoe Shinyin smiled, his deep dimples appeared.His light pockmarked face turned to Taifu Yoshino and asked: "That voice is Shaoyu, right?" Yoshino bit his plum-like lips, and looked embarrassed: "Ah! What shall we do if he comes in?" Karasuma Mitsuhiro pressed Yoshino's sleeve: "Don't get up!" He walked straight through the next room, walked to the corridor, and shouted deliberately: "Monk Ze'an! Monk Ze'an! What are you doing here? It's cold with the door open! If you want to go out, close the door; if you want to come in, come in quickly!"

Zean replied: "I want to go in." So, Ze'an pulled in the old man Shaoyou who was standing outside the door together, and sat down in front of Guangguang and Xinyin. "Oh! I didn't expect to meet people like you, it's getting more and more interesting!" Hui Wu Shaoyou came to Xinyin while talking.He picked up the wine glass and greeted Xin Yin: "Thank you." Xin Yin smiled and said: "Old man Funabashi, you have always been so healthy!" "I never thought that Mr. Han Yan's companion is you!" He put the wine glass back to its original place, deliberately pretended to be drunk, shook his head and said: "Yuan, forgive me. It's one thing not to greet you for a long time, but it's another thing to meet today... Whether it's Guan Bai or counseling... Hahaha! Monk Ze'an, are you right?" Then he held the monk's head under his armpit, pointed to Xinyin and Guangguang and said: "In the world, it is these ministers who deserve pity. Whether it is Guan Bai or Minister Zuo, they are all in name, and they have no power in reality. They are far inferior to businessmen...Monk, do you agree?" Ze'an was a little afraid of this drunk old man, and immediately replied: "Yeah! I agree!" The monk managed to break free from under his arm, and then retracted his head. "Come on, I haven't respected the monk yet!" He asked for a glass. The cup in his hand was almost touching his face, and he said: "Monk, you are so cunning. The most cunning in the world is the monk; the wise is the businessman. The strong are the warriors; the stupid are the ministers... Haha! Isn't it?" "That's right! That's right!" "Gongqing can't do anything he likes, and he can only be closed in politics. All he can do is recite poems, write lyrics, and write calligraphy. Other places are useless... Haha! Monk, that's right. Bar!" Guangguang will not lose when drinking and fooling around; while Xinyin will never fall behind when talking elegantly and drinking.However, after being disturbed by this sudden intruder, the two of them lost interest and just kept silent. Shaoyou got carried away and said: "Teacher! Do you like Gongqing? Or do you like businessmen?" "Heh! Heh! Mr. Funabashi..." "Don't laugh! I'm asking you seriously, I want to know women's views. Hmm! I understand! Taifu thinks merchants are better! Then come to my room, Taifu, I will take it away!" He took Taifu Yoshino's hand and stood up unsteadily. Guangguang was taken aback, and the wine in his hand spilled all over the floor. "There is a limit to joking!" As Guangguang said, he pushed away Shaoyu's hand, and took Taifu Yoshino to his side. "why why?" Shaoyou jumped up and shouted: "It's not that I insist on taking Taifu away, but Taifu looks like he wants to go with me! Taifu, don't you think so?" The Taifu caught in the middle could only laugh it off.Being pulled from side to side by Guangguang and Shaoyou, it seemed very difficult: "Oh! What should I do?" They didn't mean to fight for the husband, nor were they really jealous, they just wanted to make the difficult person even more difficult, which is also one of the games.Guangguang refused to back down, and neither did Shaoyou.Yoshino is sandwiched between the two of them, leaving her in a dilemma. "Taifu, which side do you want to serve? We are here to argue, and there is no way. We will see which side the Taifu thinks of, and we will follow your wishes." Takuan had been watching to see how things would play out. "Interesting!" Ze'an was not only watching the excitement, but also making waves from the sidelines, using the "end" as an appetizer: "Teacher, you can go wherever you want!" Only the kind-hearted Konoe Nobuyoshi, who deserves to be a good character, extended a helping hand and said: "Ah! Aah! You people really don't have a good mind! How can you call Yoshino like this? Don't embarrass her anymore, let's sit down and drink together?" And said to the other maids: "Now, Guangyue is the only one over there, whoever is going to call him here." He desperately wanted to end the strife. Shaoyu stayed by Yoshino's side all the time, and waved his hand to refuse. "There's no need to call, I'll take Yoshino there now." Guang Guang still hugged Yoshino. "What do you want to do?" "Hateful noble son." Shaoyou suddenly turned serious.His sleepy drunken eyes almost touched the glass.He said to Guangguang: "Are we going to win the beautiful Yoshino? How about drinking in front of this woman?" "Compared to drinking capacity? How ridiculous!" Guangguang took another large wine glass, put it on a tall plate, and placed it between the two of them: "Master Shisheng, have you dyed your hair?" "What! How can you, a skinny man, be my opponent? Come on! Let's compete!" "How can we compete? It's really boring if you just drink one cup of mine!" "Let's play a game of who laughs first." "It's not interesting." "Then, let's play shells." "Playing such a game with dirty old men!" "You don't like it? Well, let's punch." "Okay! Come on!" "Ze'an, you are the referee." "it is good!" Both were quite serious about boxing.Whenever one wins and one loses, seeing one party toast in frustration, everyone laughs their heads off. At this time, Taifu Yoshino stood up quietly and walked out with his long skirt.Her figure disappeared at the end of the corridor in the snow. It's an even game.Because in terms of drinking capacity, one is strong and the other is clever, and the game between the two will never be able to tell the winner. Not long after Yoshino left, Konoe Nobuyoshi also went back to the mansion.Ze'an, who was the referee, also felt very sleepy, and yawned in front of others regardless of etiquette. Only the wine war between the two parties has not stopped.And Ze'an followed the two of them in punching, and rested his head on Mrs. Mo Ju's lap nearby, and fell asleep with his head in his head. Ze An fell asleep, feeling very comfortable, but suddenly thought: "They must be very lonely! I really want to go back and be with them soon." He thought of Jotaro and Atong. Both of them now live in the Karasuma Mitsuhiro residence.At the end of last year, Jotaro stayed at the Karasuma mansion when he was entrusted by the priest Ise Arakita to deliver things to the Karasuma mansion.Atong just moved into the official residence a few days ago. A few days ago in Otowa Valley of Kiyomizu Kannon Temple, the night Atong was chased by Asugi, it happened that Takuan went to Kannon Temple to look for Atong.Before this, he had already foreseen that something was going to go wrong, and he felt uneasy, so he rushed to Guanyin Temple. Takuan and Mitsuhiro Karasuma are close friends. Whether it is Waka, Zen, wine, or even troubles, they are friends on the road who can share with each other. A while ago, this friend wrote to me and asked: "How about it? You only go back to the temple in your hometown during the New Year, and don't do other things? Don't you miss the famous wine in the big city of Kobe Nada, the women in Kyoto, and the waterfowl in Kamo? If you want to sleep, you can go to the countryside to meditate ; If you want to know Living Zen, go to the crowd to experience it! If you miss this city, come here! What do you think?" Therefore, Ze'an came to Los Angeles this spring. Unexpectedly, he would meet this young man, Jotaro, here.Jotaro played around the mansion every day, never feeling bored.Only after asking Mitsuhiro did he know why Jotaro stayed here.So I asked Jotaro for the details, and learned that Atong had been at Ashanpo's residence since the morning of the first day of the first lunar month.There has been no news since then. "How could such a thing happen?" After hearing this, Ze An was very shocked.Immediately set off that day to find Ashanpo's residence.It was already night when he found Sannianpo's hotel. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, so he asked the hotel staff to bring a lantern and go to Qingshuitang to find someone. That night, Takuan brought Atong safely back to Karasuma's house.However, because Atong was extremely frightened, he developed a fever and fell ill the next day, and he still cannot get out of bed.And Jotaro has been guarding the pillow, feeding medicine, changing ice pillows, and taking care of him in every possible way, which is really touching. "The two of them are waiting for me!" Although Zean wanted to go home early, Guangguang, who was traveling with him, let alone going back, simply had an expression that the game had just begun. The two finally got tired of punching and drinking.I thought they were going to give up the victory and start drinking, but unexpectedly they talked together. The topics they talked about were nothing more than samurai politics, the value of the existence of public ministers, businessmen and overseas development. Ze'an moved from the woman's lap to the pillar, and closed his eyes to listen to their discussion.While sleeping, listening to the discussion between the two of them, sometimes they even smiled slightly! Guangguang suddenly sobered up, and said unhappily: "Oh! When did the guard leave?" Shaoyou seemed to have woken up from the wine, and his face changed greatly: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is that Yoshino is not here!" "It's really unreasonable!" Mitsuhiro shouted loudly at the maid Lingya who was dozing off in the corner: "Call Yoshino over here!" Ling Mi walked sleepily into the corridor.She went to Guangyue and Shaoyou's original room, took a sneak peek, and found that there was only one person in the room.Musashi did not know when he would come back, and was sitting quietly beside the white lamp. "Ah! When did you come back...we don't know at all!" Musashi replied: "just came back!" "From the back door?" "Ok!" "Where have you been?" "Outside." "Let's go on a date! I'll go talk to Mrs. Taifu—" Musashi laughed unconsciously when he heard her precocious words: "Why is no one here? Where did everyone go?" "Everyone is over there, playing with Mr. Han Yan and the monk!" "Where is Mr. Guangyue?" "have no idea." "Probably go back! If Mr. Guangyue goes back, I want to go back too." "No! Since you're here, you can't go back without the Taifu's consent. If you go back quietly, not only will you be made fun of, but I will also be scolded." Even if the maid joked, Musashi took it seriously. "That's why I can't just leave quietly. Please wait here for my return." Not long after Lingya left, Zean walked in, patted Musashi on the shoulder and asked: "Musashi, what's wrong?" "what?" This sound was full of surprise.Musashi didn't expect that the monk Lingya mentioned just now was actually Ze'an. "haven't seen you for a long time!" Musashi hurriedly left the seat, put his hands on the ground and saluted, Zean grabbed Musashi's hand and said: "This is a place of entertainment, so let's keep it simple... I heard that you came with Mr. Guangyue, but you didn't see anyone else?" "Perhaps somewhere?" "Look around, let's go together! I would like to chat with you too, but that will be after the meeting." While talking, Zean opened the paper door next door, and saw a person sleeping in the kotatsu, surrounded by screens. In this cold night, it seemed that the person was Koyue. Seeing that he was sleeping comfortably, I couldn't bear to shake him awake.At this time, Guangyue also opened her eyes, and she was very surprised to see Ze'an and Musashi. After asking the reason, Guangyue said: "If it's just you and Guang Guangqing, the room over there is enough to sit, let's go together!" The three came to Guangguang's room together. Guangguang and Shaoyou had already enjoyed themselves to the fullest, and both of them showed the loneliness after the joy. Drinking to this point, the wine also becomes bitter, which makes people feel more thirsty.When you think of drinking water, you are reminded of home.Coupled with the fact that I haven't met Taifu Yoshino, I always feel that something is missing. "It's time to go back!" "go home!" One of them proposed to go home, and all agreed.Everyone didn't miss this place, mainly because they were afraid of ruining the good mood they had cultivated so hard, so everyone stood up immediately. at this time-- The maid Ling Mi came over, followed by Taifu Yoshino's other two personal maids.The two walked quickly to the door, and in front of everyone, put their hands on the ground and saluted, saying: "Keep everyone waiting! Taifu wants me to tell her that she is almost ready. I know everyone wants to go back. Although it is snowing night, the road is still bright. Besides, in such cold weather, at least you have to wait I will go back after the sedan chair warms up. So please sit down for a while!" "Isn't that weird?" What does the phrase "keep everyone waiting" mean.Guangguang and Shaoyou looked at each other puzzled. Everyone has no interest in playing anymore.What's more, in this playground, there is no compromise. "Why is this?" Seeing everyone's hesitant faces, the two personal maids quickly explained: "The Taifu means: She left the table without authorization just now, and the adults must think that she is a heartless woman. However, she has never been in such a difficult situation. If Mr. Han Yan's wishes are followed, Mr. Funabashi's heart will be violated. If you obey Mr. Funabashi, you will not be able to meet Mr. Hanyan... That's why you left the seat quietly. Now Taifu Yoshino wants to welcome all guests to her residence again... Please come home later, don't be in a hurry Let's go, stay a little longer!" After everyone heard this, if they refused, it would make people think that they were narrow-minded; and Yoshino wanted to entertain them as a host, which made people excited. "Go and see!" "The husband is so sincere." So, under the guidance of the maid and the personal maid, the five pairs of straw sandals stepped on the soft spring snow without leaving any traces. Except for Musashi, everyone felt very interested and thought to themselves: "Ha! Probably entertain us for tea!" Yoshino loves the tea ceremony not just for a day or two, and drinking a cup of weak tea is also quite good.Everyone thought as they walked, and soon they had passed the tea room and came to the backyard, which is a field without any emotion. Everyone seemed a little uneasy, Guang Guang asked: "Where are we going? Isn't this a mulberry garden?" Another maid answered with a smile: "Haha! It's not a mulberry garden. Every year at the end of spring, everyone will visit this peony garden." Guangguang was still unhappy, and the cold weather made him feel even more uncomfortable. "Whether it's a mulberry garden or a peony garden, isn't it all the same depression in this snowy day? Does Yoshino want us to catch a cold to be happy?" "I'm really sorry, the husband told me that she will wait there, so please go over there." Taking a closer look, there is a thatched cottage in the corner of the countryside.It is a simple common people's house, which existed before the development of Liutiaoli brothels.Holly trees surround the back of the house. Its flavor is completely different from the fan house in the artificial courtyard, but it belongs to the scope of the fan house. "Go over there, please." The maid entered a mud room that was blackened by charcoal, and led everyone into the house. "Everyone is here!" The maid shouted into the house. "Welcome! Please don't be polite." Yoshino's voice came from inside the paper door.A bright red flame was reflected on the paper door. "It seems to be far away from the hustle and bustle..." Everyone saw a straw hat hanging on the earthen wall, and wondered how Taifu Yoshino would entertain his guests.
