Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen

The icy cold water in the Sugo River is crystal clear.Until the morning, it was still drizzling on the sandbank in Kagezaki.A few foxes' cries came from Feng Lugu's side, which shook people's ears.The morning rooster had stopped crowing, and the mansion was cold and quiet.Masaku Sakai watched the morning mist rushing across the watchtower, and stopped in his tracks. "Autumn..." The words came to his lips, and he suddenly felt uneasy again, so he couldn't help but glanced around.Today is the day when Mrs. Yu leaves the city. "Back then, my wife happily married me, but..." He shook his head.He welcomed Yu Da at home.And today, he was going to send Yuta away from here again.The sorrow in the world, or some kind of more desolate emotion suddenly rushed into his heart, making him a little staggering.

He first inspected the inside and outside of the porch.The three servants were cleaning the road hard, and after sweeping, leaves would occasionally fall down. "Thank you, thank you." He greeted his servants, and inspected the bamboo fence that he ordered people to surround last night.Just like when Yu Da married here, all the female relatives of the family will definitely gather here today to say goodbye to Yu Da.If someone can't control their emotions, it will definitely make Yu Da upset. Guang Zhong tried his best to hide his affection for Da Da, even in front of his retainers.This is not only out of concern for Imagawa, but also to show Kariya.

"Isn't it just one or two women?" Behind this childish bravado was the sadness he was trying to conceal.If Yu Da loses his mind in the chaos, Guang Zhong's painstaking efforts will be in vain.Yuda's moment will directly affect Takechiyo's future.He wanted Yu Da to give a strong impression. "I said, no one is allowed to hold Madam and cry." Ya Lezhu told the servants Oda and Hei who were checking the cleaning. "But what if someone is there?" Hebei asked quietly.He knew how the women who planted cotton and weaved with his wife felt for her.Ya Lezhu choked for a moment, and said for a long time: "Then..." He turned and walked towards the door, "Just say that Madam contradicted the city lord and was dismissed by the city lord."

The fog gradually dispersed.Dew dripped from the leaves of the Michelia chinensis.Ya Lezhu walked towards the place where Yu Da lived, and a few drops of dew fell on him.At this time, Yu Da was dreaming her last dream in Okazaki. The sun is not out yet.The little maid who just woke up lit a fire by the stove on the north side and started cooking.Yalezhu didn't talk to her, and walked around the late-blooming zinnia bushes to the yard.He was taken aback.Yu Dazheng was kneeling on the dirt in front of him.She has combed her hair, and her face is facing the sky. From the side, it can be seen that her eyes are slightly swollen.Yalezhu wanted to go up to greet him, but stopped.

Yu Dabai's little hands were folded in front of his chest, and he was facing Furoya Takechiyo's residence, his eyes were fixed on the front, and he was concentrating on praying, even Garasuke was standing behind him. Yalezhu took a step back, put his hand on the hundred day red, swept the floor at the front of his clothes, the flowers and dew fell together, and the sadness immediately touched his heart.Only now did he truly appreciate the meaning of fate. The young mother hadn't seen Takechiyo since she was imprisoned here.She once begged Guangzhong to see her child once.In fact, there are many ways to meet each other, as long as the wet nurse Ah Zhen brings Takechiyo to visit Mrs. Yalezu.But Guangzhong did not agree.He can cut down the bamboo fence by himself and come to visit Yu Da.But if Yu Da sees Takechiyo again, it will be meaningless for him to be imprisoned here.

After the big prayer was over, Ya Lezhu walked up, "Mrs. Shangfang." Yu Da looked back at Ya Lezhu in surprise. "It's time to go." After finishing speaking, Ya Lezhu hurriedly looked away, looking at the gradually changing clouds in the east, "Many female relatives and servants definitely couldn't bear to part with Madam, and gathered in front of the door. Ma'am, look carefully." "What are you looking at?" Yu Da's voice was crisp.She tried to control the sadness in her heart.It can be heard from the voice that she did. Yalezhu suddenly felt tight in his chest, and his voice trembled instead. "Among the many female relatives and children, there is a pair of innocent eyes looking at you. Under the big stalk tree next to the Sugogawa Garden, Ah Zhen is holding a child..."

"Oh. Takechiyo?" "Here, next time..." "If it's Takechiyo, you don't have to worry about it." "What Ma'am means is that I don't want to see him anymore..." "Happy to help." "lady." "I have accepted your wish. However, I have already been liberated. Just looking at it is not beneficial. Take Chiyo...he is always in my heart." "Madam..." Yalezhu couldn't help but took another two steps forward, "It seems that I was worrying too much. Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few years. There were a lot of people talking when I left, so I probably didn't have a chance to talk. Thank you in advance." Yu Da stood up, rolled up his sleeves and bowed.When she first got married, she was still like a little girl in the eyes of everyone.But now, Ya Lezhu couldn't help but look at her with admiration and composure. "Madam, don't say anything. The matter has come to this point, and everything is beyond our control. We can only blame..." Yalezhu wanted to give up like a brave child. "Master Takechiyo...Leave the master to me! The veterans of Okazaki will assist him as the number one person in Kaido at all costs."

"Ah, the sun is out. It's a fine day." "lady!" "Yalezhu, the sun will surely shine on everyone." Yu Da didn't laugh or cry.She didn't want people to see her sadness, which wasted Guangzhong's painstaking efforts.After glancing around, she resolutely turned and left. An hour and a half later, when the time of day had come, Yu Da came out of Yalezhu's mansion, and ran a scull along the river to the Unclean Gate.On the surface, Yu Da was divorced by her husband, but since Kariya had no one to pick her up, the Matsudaira family naturally had to send someone to see her off.The reason for divorcing his wife was: "My brother misbehaved, so I had to send him back to his natal family." Yudai's sister Yusen, who married Kinomoriya Hiroshi of the Matsudaira clan, will also be sent back to Kariya on the same day.

At four o'clock, people began to come to the gate of the inner courtyard of Yalezhu's house.The female relatives did not cover their faces, but the men wore bamboo hats to cover their faces. The first man to arrive was Shinhachiro Okubo.He pushed aside the female relatives, came to the bamboo fence, bent down and fastened the shoelaces, he wanted to escort Yu Da.Next came the host, Masakusuke, who also came out wearing straw sandals, and couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw Shinhachiro's attire. The sedan chair was placed outside Sugao's gate, and Yugai walked there. At this time, there were only Kanada Masaki and Abe Joji beside the sedan chair, but among the gradually gathering crowd, Abe Daizo, Ishikawa Yasuki and Okubo Shinjuro could be seen.

After Yu Da came out, there was a sound of sobbing among the female relatives. "Could it be that God is blind!" "Such a good lady!" The women have already understood the truth of the matter.When Yu Da appeared in front of them, they burst into tears. Yu Da desperately searched for Huayangyuan among the women.The shallow fate between Takechiyo and her is sad, and the parting and parting between her and her mother is also unbearable.Just as he was about to walk out of the Sugo gate, a sharp voice suddenly came. "Madam Shangfang!" A woman ran over. "Hey, don't mess around!" Jintian Zhengju said, but he didn't pull away the woman holding Yu Da, but turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone be quiet!" The woman was Nanny Suga from the inner court, so Yu Da stopped involuntarily.After Baihe and Xiaosa left, only this woman in the inner court was loyal to her.Yu Da looked in the direction of Suga's finger and couldn't help being surprised. It was Takechiyo who saw it.The woman holding Takechiyo was not Azhen, nor a turtle girl, but Mrs. Ajiu.Ajiu hugged Takechiyo, and stood under the big stalk tree, his expression was pale and stiff, only a pair of eyes radiated light.On her right side stood the five-year-old Kanroku, and beside Kanroku stood the maid Awan, holding Keishin who was the same age as Takechiyo in her arms. This scene evokes various associations.Did Mrs. Ajiu come to laugh at Yu Da's misfortune on purpose, or because of the women's sympathy? Some of the veterans changed their faces. From Yu's wide-eyed eyes, it could be seen that her heart was surging.She had almost stopped breathing, her eyes were dull, and her body was motionless.At this moment, when Takechiyo really appeared in front of her, she couldn't hold on anymore, even her bones became stiff and her blood froze... Takechiyo was still white and fat, holding his small fists, and there was a small dent on the back of his hand.Sometimes he looked up at the sky, sometimes at the crowd around him, and sometimes looked back at Mrs. Ajiu's ears.His eyes kept rolling, and every time he looked up, he would frown seriously.Of course, at his current age, it is impossible for him to remember his mother.But, when he grows up, will he remember his mother one day? Yu Daqiang held back tears. As a mother, the only thing she can do now is to look at her son again.She didn't want others to look down on Takechiyo just because she was the child's mother.If so, she will regret it for the rest of her life. "Farewell today, we will become forever..." Thinking of this, Yu Da could no longer control herself, she hurriedly turned her face away, her eyes widened, holding back her tears, trying not to think about why Mrs. Ajiu brought Zhu Chiyo to serve her She sees her off. Depending on Yuda's personality, she would not think that this was Ajiu's revenge. She thought that Ajiu wanted to tell her that he would take good care of Takechiyo, so that their brothers would work together and live in harmony. "Suga, tell Ajiu for me, thank her for taking good care of my child." Yu Da said to Suga who was crying and fell at his feet, and then walked towards the Sugao gate. The sedan chair left, but the number of people behind did not decrease, more than fifty people followed.Perhaps Mizuno Shimono of Kariya and Okazaki's retainers thought the opposite.Shimono Mamoru hopes to lure them into his territory and kill them all.However, Okazaki's vassals hoped to secretly send Yuta to Kariya in order to resolve Shimono Mamoru's hostility towards Okazaki. After passing Yahagawa, Abe Joji said, "Shinpachi, where are you going to send it?" "It goes without saying, of course it must be delivered to the Kariya Castle Gate." "Why did you send it there?" "I really can't bear to part with my wife." He replied with an unhappy face, "I like weddings, but I don't like parting. Lord Shimono is depressed and embarrassed. As an official escort, of course you can enter the city. You can only send your wife to the city gate." On the contrary, the clear sky makes people feel sad, so they close their eyes from time to time.She didn't cry in front of people, but once she entered the sedan chair, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.The shadow of Takechiyo in Ajiu's arms still appeared in front of her eyes, and Ajiu's intentions with three half-brothers made her feel even more sad.Ajiu must have felt a lot of emotion in his heart, there was jealousy, the joy of victory, and there must also be sadness... However, Ajiu came to bid her farewell, Yu Da didn't want to lose to Ajiu.Keeping calm all the time is the answer to Ajiu, and it is also the last gift to Takechiyo. After passing the Yahagawa River, the surrounding autumn colors are getting stronger.Green bamboo bushes can be seen in the fields, and occasionally there are a few red mountain lacquer plants, just waiting for the arrival of winter.Yu Daxiang, people must recharge their batteries in autumn and wait for winter and the coming year. "Stop the sedan chair." Yu Da saw Anxiang City, which Oda and Matsudaira fought bloodily for, and said softly in the sedan chair, "I want to get down." "Yes." Everyone looked at the sedan chair in unison and nodded.General Yu is here to say goodbye to everyone.She got out of the sedan chair. "Everyone's thoughts, I will never forget them. The front is Kariya's territory, let's say goodbye here." Abe Joji and Kaneda Masatsugu looked at the crowd in surprise. "No, the lord of the city has ordered that it is our duty to send the wife to Kariya Castle." Okubo Shinhachiro said loudly. "In case something happens to Madam, not only will we not be able to explain to the Castellan, but we will also be sorry to the Castellan of Kariya. How could Madam say such a thing?" Sakai Masaku, who was wearing a bamboo hat, blamed.He must have remembered Yu Da's dangerous situation when he got married, and his tone seemed to be blaming his daughter. Yu Da looked at Yalezhu.Under the sun, she is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water. "I hope everyone can use this kind of heart on Takechiyo." Yu Day said in an admonishing tone, not at all like a seventeen-year-old girl, "Everyone...for Takechiyo...it's rare Your loyal minister and good general, everyone will stop here." "It is precisely because Madam is Takechiyo's biological mother that we are afraid of any mistakes. Madam, you are welcome." Abe Sadaji was a little dissatisfied. Tears welled up in Yu's big eyes, and his lips trembled slightly. "If I don't give reasons, you will not listen to my dissuasion. Listen to me... I know better than you the character of Kariya's elder brother. He is impatient and short-sighted. Everyone, everyone... If you have any questions One, when Takechiyo grows up, he will definitely blame me for my carelessness. At that time, he will definitely say that I am a stupid mother who brought so many soldiers with outstanding martial arts into the enemy's territory and lost their lives! " Jin Tian Zhengju woke up like a dream, and looked up at everyone.Everyone stood there dumbfounded.Yu Da secretly wiped the corners of his eyes. "Be careful in everything, this is the admonition of my late father. Not only that, Shimono Mamoru and Takechiyo are uncle and nephew, I can't leave the seeds of resentment here. I beg you, for the future of Takechiyo, listen to me, Stop there." Men's cries suddenly sounded around, and everyone was trembling and sobbing. "Ma'am." Ya Lezhu held back his tears and said, "Madam has such insight at the age of seventeen, which makes me feel ashamed. How can I be so confused! There is still a young master waiting for us in the city. Everyone, go back! From now on, Never forget Madam's good intentions today!" Yu Da's sedan chair was entrusted to the common people that Abe found on a regular basis.Urged by Yuda, Okazaki's retainers turned around reluctantly, and their figures disappeared from sight.Yu Da ordered people to get up the sedan chair.Loneliness swept over her body, and her low sobs could be heard from inside the sedan chair. Yu Da's sister, Mrs. Matsudaira Kii Shoujiahiro's wife, Yu Xianshi, did not expect that all sixteen people who saw her off died under Shimono Shoudao.All this happened in Tianwen's 13th year of clear skies...
