Chapter 11 Chapter 10 A Mother's Warning

Yu Da no longer has any anxiety about her husband's affection.As a woman, she has already defeated Ajiu.This is not because she is competitive, but because she loves her husband naturally as a wife, and the result is obtained as a result. Ajiu is pregnant with her second child.Every time he thought of Ajiu being pregnant, Yu Da felt jealous.But she always believed that she should not be jealous, and tried hard to control this emotion.However, daily habitual patience, over time, turned into a kind of compassion.Ajiu's child and Yu Da's child were destined to have different identities before they were born.I don't know who decides all this.

"Why is it different?" Yu Da couldn't answer the question in his heart.She always believed that it was destined by the gods, and that there was a huge invisible force manipulating everything in the world.However, now Guangzhong's confession greatly shakes Yu Da's mind.Guangzhong and his father are also the blood of the Songping family, and they are destined to inherit the family business from birth.But the father was bold and unrestrained by nature, but the son often burst into tears because of his inner weakness.Who made this difference?Yu Da also has a group of brothers and sisters with different personalities and different life experiences.The luck and misfortune of life do not seem to be as simple as Da Yuan thought.Isn't Nobuhide just a small offshoot of the Oda clan, unknowingly surpassing the suzerain?This is a new discovery for Yu Da, and it also brings great anxiety to her.

She always felt that the child in Ajiu's belly was pitiful, but now her own child began to worry her: "What if the child born is not strong enough?" different. That night, Matsudaira Hirochu lay beside Yu Da, but he never slept peacefully.He seemed annoyed, and occasionally gritted his teeth.Yu Da didn't feel sleepy that night. "How do you give birth to a strong, brave child?" As soon as the sky was dawn, the city began to be noisy.According to yesterday's resolution, people have already started moving rations, or carrying thorns and sandbags for the fence.You can occasionally hear the orders of the retainers and the neighing of the horses.

Yu Da got up.It was almost dawn when Guang Zhong fell into a light sleep.Looking at Guangzhong's thin face, Yu Da's chest hurts.Guangzhong was indeed too thin.Such a person born in troubled times is a kind of misfortune in itself... Hearing the commotion outside, Guangzhong woke up, got up in a hurry, and went to the outer court.He asked the waiter to bring a bowl of rice.Now that the matter has come to this point, he will definitely still take into account the thoughts of his retainers, Yu Daneng can imagine Guangzhong's appearance.No matter what happens, the elders will always say: "This is the same as the former master." To get up earlier in the morning than others, and to go to bed after the retainers have gone to bed at night, these words have become the mantra of the elders.If not, it would be impossible to preserve many clansmen and family members in this turbulent era.The reason why the retainers discipline Guangzhong in everything is also because it is closely related to their interests.However, the saddest thing is that there is no one suitable to lead the whole family.The retainers were uneasy all day long because of this, and Guangzhong, who was reluctantly promoted to the position of city lord, was even more unfortunate.

When Yu freshman thought that his own child would also be pushed to this position and be whipped non-stop by the invisible whip, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart.She even started to envy Ajiu. At that time, Masaku Sakai came to the inner court to explain to everyone how to deal with emergencies.At Chenshi, the three brothers Okubo Shinjuro, Shinhachiro, and Jinshiro also came to Yu Da and said: "We are going to the territory of Kamiwada. This trip may be a farewell. Please take care, madam!" Then leave in a hurry.As soon as they left, Huayangyuan came again.The mother, who was used to the war, counted the beads in her hand, calm as usual. "The war is about to start, are you ready?" She looked at her daughter with a smile on her face, as if testing her.Yu Da felt that today's mother was much taller than usual, why could she be so calm?She was puzzled.

"Brother Okubo came to say goodbye just now." "Oh, we just said goodbye..." Huayangin went to the upper seat and continued, "There is a bad news from Kariya just now—Tokuro..." She paused, the smile still on her face. "I heard that he secretly went to the residence of a woman in Xiong Mansion. The ninjas present thought he was Shimomori and killed him." "Brother...go to the girl's place?" "Everyone has his own destiny. This is probably destined in the previous life." Yu Da could barely breathe, and the scene of his first marriage to Okazaki still seemed like yesterday.But now, my brother has...but why did my mother act so lightly?Her own son, a samurai, had died in disgrace, and she was able to talk about it with a smile on her face.Yu Da stared at her closely.

Huayangyuan suddenly became serious. "There are living people, and there are dead... If Guangzhong dies in battle, what will happen to you? Have you ever thought about this?" "Well... yes." Yu Da replied vaguely.Thinking of Guangzhong's innate tragic character, Yu Da couldn't answer immediately. "Men always like war." Huayang Yuan's tone was both sad and accusatory.She put the rosary on her forehead lightly, and said, "It's probably because you offended the Buddha, which led to the troubled times. There will always be casualties in wars, so you have to be prepared."

"Yes." "Once something happens to Guangzhong, what are you going to do?" The mother's tone was blunt, and there seemed to be reproach in it. Yu Da was in a mess.She began to reflect, trying to figure out what she really wanted.She wanted to be buried for her love, and she wanted to give birth to a child alive.This made her feel contradictory, but what she felt most terrible was the loss of Guangzhong. Huayangyuan is very aware of her daughter's confusion.Because when she was young, she had tasted such bitterness several times.Men create these tragedies according to their own will, and women are often lambs at the mercy of others.And once the men start fighting, they turn into beasts one after another.

"You still want to commit suicide and let him go?" "yes." "I've thought about it before. But..." Huayangyuan smiled again, "As a woman, that's a failure." "fail?" "Would a woman like a fight? Would she like a war where she might lose her husband at any time?" "This this……" "Women only curse war, they don't like it..." "yes." "Women should have their own wars." Yu Da didn't understand what his mother meant, and looked sideways at her.The sun was high, and it was almost noon.The sound of piling is everywhere.the weather is getting hotter.

"Oh." Huayang Courtyard looked into the yard, the sun was a bit dazzling.She narrowed her eyes and said, "I want to live in a stable world where I don't lose my men and my children. A woman's job is to try to create such a world." "A stable world..." "Yes. Fighting endlessly, repaying grievances, this world can only be a human Shura field. But men can't change all this. Haven't you thought of this?" "I thought about it, but I don't know what to do." "If I were you," Huayangyuan gently put the rosary on the forehead again, and continued, "I would stop hesitating and just look forward. I would pray to the gods and Buddhas wholeheartedly, and let the gods and Buddhas bless you. The power of children, to completely quell the war. From then on, I will no longer pay attention to the sad war, but wholeheartedly pray for the children who are about to be born, and raise the children piously. If all mothers can do this, the evil war will definitely start from this place. The world disappears. Children, you must always remember this. You must pray for blessings, and let the gods and Buddhas give us an incarnation of Buddha to create a stable world." Huayangyuan's tone was firm, but after he finished speaking, the circles of his eyes changed famous.Yu Da felt the fetus in his womb move vigorously.

About half an hour later, Huayang Court left.Yu Da has been sending her to the second hospital in Fu Lugu. "For the sake of the child in your womb, please take care." She thought carefully about her mother's advice. Furoya is also piled with sandbags.Archers are busy.Above their heads, Ticada hummed tirelessly.Yu Da has been standing in the shade watching his mother until he can no longer see her figure.When talking about the mother who was still smiling when her son Tokuro was killed, her eyes were full of tears when she said that she wanted Yu Da to give birth to a child who could save the world. Only then did Yu Da understand his mother's anger and sorrow.For Nobuki's death, my mother was more angry and sad than anyone else.She cursed this chaotic world. The working people took off their hats to pay tribute to Yu Da.When his mother disappeared from sight, Yu Da immediately returned to his room.Her mother's words made her gradually understand her responsibilities. She had to be a better mother than her mother, otherwise she would be sorry for her children.However, can the analysis of blessings in this world really affect the future of children? Yu Da sat at the table, motionless, and began to think about these questions.Men and women can have children, but they can also be born at the wrong time.The fate of those children who are born just for temporary pleasure and those who pray to gods and Buddhas every day must have a very different fate.In fact, it has nothing to do with the prayers before the birth of the child, but the way of raising the child is different.Thinking of this, Yu Da suddenly felt guilty: Can he raise the child who is about to be born?Do you have this ability?She looked around cautiously, and a sudden wave of fear seized her heart. "How long can you live?" Perhaps no one in this world can answer this question clearly.Everyone is just in an illusion, ups and downs in the delusion of sadness.Yu Da let out a long breath, and looked around secretly again.Only death is beyond human control, it looks on with cold eyes, laughing at human beings' cleverness. "I want to train my child to be an upright person." In fact, this sentence is not so easy to realize in this world.People cannot foresee their own tomorrow.If you really think about your child's future, you have to start today and pray for him every day.Yu Da suddenly felt his own insignificance.She couldn't help clasping her hands together, tears streaming down her face. "Ma'am... what's the matter with you?" Only then did Yu Da realize that Lily was kneeling beside her, looking at her worriedly.Yu Da didn't know how to explain his feelings to Lily. "Lily, how long do you want to live?" Yu Da wanted to try to figure out what puzzled her most, and asked. I don't know how Baihe understood Yu Da's words, but she replied: "As long as Madam orders, this slave will die for Madam at any time." Yu Da nodded.This is Yu Da's habit, no matter whether the other party understands her meaning correctly or not, she will nod her head. "I won't do that." "This……" "You never know how long you'll live." "Yes. However, if I am humiliated...in the war, I will kill myself. I want to preserve my innocence." Yu Da nodded again, then shook his head slowly.Human language often can only express a kind of hope, but cannot explain the truth, which is the source of sorrow. "Okay, okay. I won't ask you these questions anymore. By the way, you go to Fenglai Temple for me and send a prayer." "Prayer... Madam, do you want to pray for the war?" Yu Da smiled and didn't answer, she had already made up her mind. When the Imagawa Army left Hamamatsuso and Himano Castle and entered the boundary of Mikawa, some rumors began to appear inside and outside Okazaki Castle: "It is said that Mrs. Shangbo prays to Horaiji Temple every day." "That's right. Regardless of her pregnancy, she pours the cold water from the Furo Valley well on her body every night to pray. It's really embarrassing for Madam." "It is said that the city lord advised her to take care of her health, but..." "It is said that Madam knows that we will stick to the city, so she does not listen to the words of the city lord. He is really an admirable and virtuous person." "That way, there will be a huge morale boost." "We have to win." "Of course. How can a majestic Sanhe warrior be inferior to a woman?" Oda's deployment is already clear.The main general is naturally Nobuhide himself, the deputy who assists Nobuhide is Oda Sake Brewer Cheng Kiyomasa, and the guard general is Oda Sun Saburo Nobumitsu.Under Nobuhide's command are Nagino Yagoro, Nagata Shiroemon, Naito Shoaki, Narumi Daisuke, Kawajiri Yoshiro and Gun, all of whom are famous.Other than them, they were also elite troops, making it doubtful whether Owari was left unguarded.On August 8, Okazaki received an urgent report that Oda's strong army did not seem to have any intention of resting in Anxiang City, and seemed to want to attack Okazaki in one fell swoop. It was night, after the moon had set, Yu Da came to the well as usual, and began to pray for the fetus wholeheartedly.There was not a breath of wind, and there was no whining of insects.The whole city was dead silent.At this time, a bright meteor streaked across the northern night sky and quickly disappeared into the sky. Yu Da was not aware of the coolness of the water, the silence of the night, nor did he feel that the wind had stopped, nor did he see the shooting stars across the night sky.All she thinks about is the future happiness of her children.This is a mother's heart.She hoped that the gods and Buddhas would give her a brave child, who would not be afraid and fearful like Guangzhong.She also hoped that the child she gave birth would be the incarnation of Buddha.She began to pray, and at some point, the pleasure brought by prayer brought her into an incredible trance.It is really difficult to express her condition at this time just by using such difficult words as Wunianwuxiang.This is a kind of satisfaction and intoxication for kindness and justice, as well as a kind of self-confidence.Perhaps this is called enlightenment.When she entered samadhi in a trance, she vaguely heard someone talking to her somewhere, wanting to help her realize her wish. "Yu Da." "exist." "You are a good mother. Your wishes will come true." "Ok." "From now on, everything depends on your own wisdom. You know how to achieve your wishes." If the people who hear these words are shallow and ignorant, and their hearts have been distorted by suffering, all these will become the beginning of superstition or heresy, She will become cocky and conceited, causing herself great disaster.But Yu Da is pure.She is frank and sincere, thinks frankly, acts frankly, and never hides her doubts.She did not take these words as instructions from heaven, but sincerely believed that they were the answers to prayers that gave her the power to think. When the dawn was about to break, Yu Da suddenly felt another impulse in his heart. "What should I do?" She suddenly had an answer.She hurriedly took off her wet white clothes and wiped her white lower body. She felt her belly gradually warming up.Thinking of a life in her womb that will have another fate, she smiled, and a sense of satisfaction and strange emotion of praying for this life came to her heart. "Yes, we must make the best preparations for this child..." Guangzhong has been staying in the front court, and has not come to the back for more than ten days.Yu Da stood up and was about to leave the well when Lily and Sasa followed like shadows.Back in the room, Yu Da asked Xiao Sa to rest first, and left Lily by his side. "Lily, I have something to ask. When I give birth, can you go to Fenglai Temple to fast and pray for me?" "Waiting for you to give birth?" Lily was a little surprised, asked a question, and then smiled.The young hostess believes that she can wait until the day of victory and give birth safely.Lily felt relieved: "What orders does Madam have?" "If I give birth to a baby boy, you will immediately help me fetch a Buddha statue from the temple." "Buddha statue..." Lily was puzzled.Yu Da's face was flushed, and his eyes were watery and gleaming. Her firm expression made Lily nervous for a while. "There are twelve Buddha statues in Fenglai Temple, do you know?" "Yes...it is the Buddha representing the twelve zodiac signs. This servant once went to pay respects." Yu Da nodded.I don't know when and who made these Buddha statues.But these twelve Buddha statues have now become the treasures of the town temple. Everyone thinks that they are the mysterious patron saints who control people's present and future lives.Lily is a horse, and she once went to pay homage to General Shandeluo, the Bodhisattva of the Void Bodhisattva holding a vajra arrow.Yu Da is a pig, and her patron saint is Maitreya Bodhisattva.If she is asked to worship Buddha and pray for the safety of mother and child, Lily can still understand.But the wife asked to steal a Buddha statue back, which puzzled her. Seeing Lily's confused face, Yu Da stared at her closely: "Lily." "exist." "Listen, you know this and I know it, and you must not tell others." "Yes. I will never..." "You... go and invite me the third Great General Zhendara... that is Samantabhadra Bodhisattva holding the divine tiger pestle." "The one holding the divine tiger pestle?" "That's the child's patron saint." Her voice became hurried, panting slightly, and she glanced around. "Don't worry. This is what the Buddha told me in a dream. The Buddha said that he would give me Samantabhadra Bodhisattva holding the tiger pestle... so that I can have a good life... a good life to raise." "Samantabhadra?" Ambassador Yu nodded vigorously, and suddenly felt startled. The surprised expression on Lily's face reminded her of Ajiu.If it is really the reincarnation of General Zhendara holding the divine tiger pestle, the child born to Ajiu will definitely be incomparable.This kind of emotion flashed across his mind instantly, but Yu Da didn't think it was shameful jealousy.Life and death are in the hands of gods and Buddhas. As a mother, her duty is to pray to gods and Buddhas to keep her children safe. "Remember, you are the incarnation of General Daluo, and you must not do despicable things." This sentence carries a kind of hope, that is, I hope that my children will be strong and confident, and not indecisive like Guangzhong. I don't know how Lily understands this sentence.After Yu Da finished speaking, Lily said: "Are you saying that it will become the patron saint of the young master who is about to be born?" "No." Yu Da shook his head lightly, "The child is the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva told me that he wanted to leave the monastery temporarily..." Lily was still puzzled, looking at Yu Da, mixed with surprise and doubt.Yu Da no longer hesitated.If possible, she wanted Lily to believe that this was an oracle from the gods and Buddhas.Everything is for the child, and she is more and more confident that she will be able to fulfill the wish of the gods and Buddhas. "Do you understand? This is the instruction of the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva hopes to leave the temple temporarily, reincarnate as a human being, experience the suffering of human beings, and save all living beings. The Bodhisattva also said," Yu Da said in a low voice, "I hope that you will He brought it out of the Buddhist hall. This is also the instruction of the Bodhisattva." "Ah I?" Lily's eyes widened.Then a smile played on her lips, and she put her hands on the ground.She seemed to finally understand what Yu Da meant. Instead, Yu Da began to chatter. "The Bodhisattva said that no one can take on this important task except you. He hopes to hide his statue when the child is born, and return to the Buddhist hall when the child dies. Before that, you must take good care of the Buddha statue. To be seen. Are you up to the task?" "Yes. The servants put their lives on the line." "Okay. If there are two real Daro generals in this world, it will be troublesome." "Madam, don't worry, the slave will definitely hide the statue." "Don't let this matter out." "yes." Lily responded, smiled slightly, and continued, "I will never tell others about it, but this matter will spread soon." "Maybe." "First of all, the monks in the monastery will be shocked. During the Year of the Tiger, the Buddha statue holding the tiger pestle suddenly disappeared. They will definitely investigate and secretly visit, and then they will naturally remember your blessing...and at this time, the Matsudaira family life A young master... But, but what if... What if it's a young lady?" After finishing speaking, she hurriedly waved her hands and continued, "Such a thing will never happen. But, just in case...Madam, you..." "Don't mention it to others." Although Yu Da answered like this, but for some reason, he had never felt so guilty.She had heard from Aunt Suga that the baby boy was on the left.The scene of the lost Buddha statue appeared in her mind: all kinds of people knelt down in front of their children, including Kanroku who was born to Ajiu, the elders of the family, and Kariya's elder brother... Probably due to physical reasons, Yu Da has been immersed in such fantasies recently.The sky outside the window has gradually turned white.Yu Da felt relieved, but felt a little tired. "Ma'am, you can sleep for a while, don't get tired." When Lily got up to make the bed, the sound of the horn for the expedition suddenly came from outside.
