Don't think that you can change the "Kana Directory" just by patting your head while sitting at your desk. Go out and take a look, learn more about the situation, and then you can know what kind of laws can better suit the territory and its people. "
Keeping "Yukisai's teachings" in his mind, Imagawa Yoshimoto left Imagawakan alone, planning to pay a private visit incognito - the first thing he did was to go sightseeing. Please, I have been working for so many days in a row, can you not give yourself a break and take a good look at the mountains and rivers?
Imagawa Yoshimoto glanced at the mountains and forests to the north of Imagawa Pavilion and couldn't help but frowned.
Ever since he came to Imagawakan, he has always felt that the maple forests and mountains in the north of Imagawakan are very beautiful, especially in autumn when the maple leaves turn red. However, ever since Imagawa Yoshimoto met the woman named Shuangye in the Kitayama maple forest, he has not been to the maple forest a few times when the maples are red - because he knows that Shuangye will definitely be waiting in the forest. Looking at him. They agreed that every year when the maple leaves were red, he would go back to the maple forest to find frost leaves and chat with her about Japanese songs and haiku.
Imagawa Yoshimoto had trouble with this infatuated woman more than once - he obviously had no experience with her, but just reciting poems correctly for a day could make a woman so emotional that she would fall in love with her year after year. Are you unwilling to get married while waiting in the maple forest? However, he had no choice but to go to the appointment - which always made him feel guilty about having secret meetings with other women behind his wife's back. Moreover, he was also worried that his frequent appointments would attract the unmarried woman, which would give her hope and make her reluctant to get married - she must be around 23 already.
I remember that when we met last year, Imagawa Yoshimoto had a showdown with Shuangye for this reason. The two of them also agreed that after Shuangye got married and had children, Imagawa Yoshimoto would be willing to meet Shuangye as usual - otherwise Imagawa Yoshimoto Worry that the frost leaves will drag on indefinitely. After all, he was the friend who accompanied Imagawa Yoshimoto by reciting poems and resolving her emotions when she was in extreme grief. Imagawa Yoshimoto still didn't want her life to end in tragedy.
But it’s only June now, and it’s still early for the maples to turn red. It’s still relatively safe to go and have a look in my beloved mountain forest. With this thought, Imagawa Yoshimoto rode into the Kitayama maple forest. I almost regretted it - I didn't expect that even in the hot summer, the figure of Frosty Leaf would still be waiting under the maple tree, waiting for the person who only comes once a year.

"Miss Shimoye." He had already met her head-on, and there was no reason to avoid her. Imagawa Yoshimoto had no choice but to stand up and dismount, and stepped forward to say hello.
"Your Highness, how come summer has come?" Shuangye glanced at the still green leaves, not much happy, but rather uneasy, "Isn't this the only meeting this year? Your Highness will meet again in the autumn. Come?"
"I'm just passing by. Autumn will definitely come as promised." Seeing Shuangye speaking so humblely, Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't bear it, so he agreed, "Miss, don't worry."
"That's good." Shuangye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, muttering to himself something like "I can't do it today".
"Miss, what's going on today?"
"Hmm..." Shuangye hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say.
"Speaking of which, Miss, have you been married in the past year?" Imagawa Yoshimoto mistakenly thought that Shuangye had a husband, so it was inconvenient to stay outside for a long time, so he asked.
"Without a husband, autumn will disappear... Is this what Your Highness means?" Shuangye's mood instantly dropped.
"Didn't I agree before that Miss should get married and have children early, otherwise I always feel like I am delaying Miss." Seeing Shuangye's tone being so bad, Imagawa Yoshimoto felt a little embarrassed. But he felt that saying nice things at this time and giving Shuangye some unrealistic hopes would only hurt her, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If the young lady insists on refusing to marry, then this autumn's meeting will be the last time." .”
Shuangye fell into silence, and after a while he spoke with some difficulty:
"Okay...then come back in 10 days, still here. The little lady will take you to meet my husband."
"Congratulations on your wedding, Miss." Imagawa Yoshimoto was stunned for a moment before realizing what Shuangye was talking about, and smiled with relief, "I was so abrupt earlier, I'm really sorry!"
"Then I'll say goodbye." Shuangye looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto's smile, but felt uncomfortable in her heart. She left the last word and left without looking back.
·
On June 20, the twelfth year of Tianwen (1543), Imagawa Yoshimoto came as promised. To be honest, going with a married woman to meet her husband - it's not etiquette in any way. But the more Imagawa Yoshimoto thought about it, the more he suspected that Shuangye was not married at all and was just using an excuse to lie to her, so he decided to go and have a look. Besides, he has never had anything frivolous with Shuangye. He is a gentleman and it is okay to meet other people's husbands.
When he saw Shuangye, Imagawa Yoshimoto was a little surprised - she, who always saw her without makeup, rarely put on light makeup - why was this? In order to cover up his embarrassment, Imagawa Yoshimoto took the initiative and asked:
"Where is the lady's residence?"
"The cabin in the back mountain." Shuangye pointed to the green mountain behind the maple forest in the distance.
"Wouldn't it be inconvenient to live in such a remote place?" Imagawa Yoshimoto followed Shuangye all the way to the depths of the mountains and couldn't help but complain.
"Aside from two meals a day and a few volumes of reading, the little girl doesn't have any living needs, so it won't be inconvenient." Shuangye shook his head nonchalantly, and then said with a wry smile: "Besides, living in this world is safer. "
"Is the public security in Suruga so bad?" Imagawa Yoshimoto obviously does not have the self-consciousness of a "family governor". After hearing the complaints from the residents, instead of feeling ashamed, he asked questions with concern.
"Honestly, it's much better than other places. But even if the sporadic disasters happen to a small family, they can be called a catastrophe." Shuangye's voice no longer contained any emotion. Hearing the smile, it turned out to be a bit terrifyingly gloomy, "Of course, the big shots living in Imagawa Mansion probably don't know about it."
"I'm sorry." Imagawa Yoshimoto knew that he might have touched some of Shuangye's past that he didn't want to look back on, so he regretfully reflected on his talkativeness.
"It's okay, we won't see each other again anyway, right?" Shuang Ye remained as if nothing had happened, with a smile on his face.
"Huh?" Imagawa Yoshimoto was stunned for a moment.
"Here we are." After rounding the last corner, Shuangye still walked to the door of the cabin and opened the door calmly. "Didn't His Highness say that if the little girl is not married, we will never see each other again?"
"No? The lady said before..." Imagawa Yoshimoto frowned, but still politely took off his shoes at the door.
"I lied to His Highness, otherwise Your Highness must not be willing to come with this little girl." Shuangye stepped into the house and made a gesture to invite Imagawa Yoshimoto into the house. Imagawa Yoshimoto was a little embarrassed. After struggling for a moment, he felt that it was too rude to come in without entering, so he sighed and walked in.
Although the cabin is not big, it is obviously not a space for one person to live. In the open closet, you can see men's clothes and three beddings. There is also a men's style teapot on the table, and there are also some tea cups in the cup. Warm tea - Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't help but wonder again - Could it be that Shuangye was actually married, and was he just having an awkward moment, so he deliberately told himself that he was unmarried?
"That's Jiayan's." After noticing Imagawa Yoshimoto's gaze, Shuangye explained softly.
"Aren't you at home?" Imagawa Yoshimoto heard no one else moving in the house.
"Passed away." Shuangye replied briefly.
"I'm sorry." Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't expect this result - because the atmosphere of life in the room clearly seemed like there were frequent male activities.
"In order to prevent Your Highness from being 'sorry' again, the little girl should tell you first. Jia Ci has already passed away. "Shuangye's smile became even weirder.
"Please have my condolences..." Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at the layout of the house again, and a burst of sad emotions came to his heart - it seemed that the woman in front of him deliberately kept the environment at home as it was when her parents were there, in order to relieve her inner feelings. "I'm sorry... when did it happen?"
"About 6 years ago, what happened after I first met His Highness." Shuangye sat down in front of the desk and poured himself a cup of tea without paying attention to Imagawa Yoshimoto who was still standing at the door. " Kayan is a ferryman from the Ming Dynasty, and Kaci is a native of Suruga, and they got married by chance. Kayan is a scholar who teaches little girls to read and write, and he also makes a living by writing skills. 7 years ago, In order to avoid the war between your Imagawa family governors, I moved to this mountain."
"Then one day, Iayan went to Imagawadate Castle Town to deliver the written documents and never came back. The little girl and Iaci looked for him like crazy, but in the end there was no news. Iaci died after being caught in the rain. I couldn't afford to fall ill and left soon after. It was only a month later and I was the only one left in the little girl's original home. The little girl could only learn a few words on her own like Jia Yan did. I am trying to make a living in Imagawadate Castle Town, but I am often ostracized and bullied because of my identity as a woman. But in this world, it is good for ordinary people to live, so how can they dare to be picky?"
Shuangye talked about his tragic past as if telling someone else's story, his eyes full of numbness. She paused, put down the teacup, raised her head and glanced at Imagawa Yoshimoto: "How is it? It's very pitiful, isn't it?"
"I'm sorry to hear this." Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly felt that it was a bit too cruel to treat a poor woman so decisively before, "Why didn't you tell me when we reunited for the second time... I can help the lady a lot."
"Yes, the little girl knew that His Highness would react like this. It seemed like sympathy and pity, and he extended a helping hand to the little girl, but the little girl didn't want such a charity-like feeling." Shuangye shook his head, his eyes Li's expression was terrifyingly cold.
"Why does Miss have to have a "feeling" with me? We are strangers who have only met a few times. Doesn't Miss know me at all? "Imagawa Yoshimoto let out a long sigh.
