Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Liu Quan pursed his lips and smiled slightly at him.

"Who are you?" Tufang asked directly, "I don't think I've seen you here before."

His tone and voice were different from the person she remembered.Of course, his appearance is also different from that person.Re-appearing in front of the person named "Shinsengumi Deputy Chief Hijikata Toshizo" in this world, talking to him is not as strenuous or sentimental as she imagined before—because, in the final analysis, although he He has the same name and identity, but he is a stranger after all, right?

Liu Quan replied with a smile: "I'm new here. Of course, I've heard of Mr. Hijikata's reputation... I never thought I would have such an opportunity to serve you wine tonight."

Hijikata stared at her suspiciously, and didn't let down his vigilance towards her because of her praise and the degree of goodwill she showed brightly.

"Having said that..." He slowly dragged out his voice, his tone full of defense and temptation.

"I don't know what I deserve from you," he said.

Inside the house, the luthier sat in the corner, plucking the shamisen jingling.The geisha sang Du Yi with a drawn-out voice, "If you have a good understanding, you will be as close as the sky when you return."

Without hesitation, Liu Quan raised his eyes and looked directly at Tufang's deep black pupils. He only stared at him for a short moment, then took the time to lower his gaze, and put the small wine bottle in his hand back into the small one in front of Tufang. On the table, he replied: "Admiring a hero like you who is dedicated to serving the country...isn't it natural? Although I can only bow down to Shimahara, I also admire people with great ambitions like you. where--"

Although she lowered her gaze, she could still feel that Tufang's gaze fell on her face, the gaze was so burning that it felt like burning two holes in her face.

But after a while, Tufang snorted softly, picked up the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.

"Really." He replied noncommittally, with his left hand resting on his folded knee, while the right hand was still holding the small, empty wine glass.

"I didn't expect you to have such insight," he said.It sounded like a compliment of surprise, but Liu Quan could still hear a bit of temptation in it.

"I'm just telling the truth," she replied, and winkingly picked up the little white china wine bottle again, held it up to his hand, and filled his glass with wine.

"If it's Mr. Hijikata...you must be able to see through whether he is telling the truth or not."

Tu Fang slightly paused the hand holding the wine glass, turned his face and glanced at her again.But in this position, all that can be seen clearly is her side face illuminated by the lights; the angle of her drooping face is just right, the corners of her painted eyes are slanted, but her long eyelashes are quietly drooping, casting a faint shadow. On the whitened cheekbones under her eyes.The fair skin on the back of the neck is lined with the bright red kimono, which is a bit eye-catching and graceful.

He frowned slightly, always feeling that this woman's posture, speech, and behavior were all too appropriate, making it impossible to raise one's guard—although this is also a necessary performance in Huajie, but in her posture It seems that there is no sense of looking up, coquettish or ingratiating to other women who he is familiar with and admires him. Instead, there is a kind of upright elegance and calmness - but it is this just right sense of comfort that makes him always He felt uncomfortable, as if once he accepted the words that she admired him, he would immediately fall into a trap disguised as tenderness and comfort, and then he would fail completely without knowing it.

Yet she was flawless.The movement of pouring wine may be a little blunt, but it is good enough for a novice.

Tonight, we are going to talk about Kondo-kun's family affairs - involving the unmotivated "adopted son" and the troublesome brother of the native family behind him, as well as the inheritance of the test hall and the natural flow of mind, which can no longer be done It can be regarded as a pure "official" or "private matter"-Tufang has no intention of bringing those women who admire him to accompany him.

A novice like her who is almost completely unfamiliar with Kondo-kun and the Shinsengumi, just hearing some of their fame and rumors—perhaps with the addition of his handsome appearance—causes him to easily express admiration, of course best choice.She can neither understand what they are discussing, nor can she hear the intricate key issues behind a simple sentence; and because of her unreal admiration for him, she will take the initiative to save his face And to keep it a secret, even though she might not even understand what it was--that was all the better.

However, Tufang still felt that there was something wrong with letting this new girl go so easily.

Concealing his inconsistent thoughts, he coughed lightly and asked, "...then, what's your name?"

The girl raised her head, turned her face towards him, raised her eyebrows, and smiled beautifully.

"Flowers and leaves," she said.

The lights in the room were brightly lit, the strings of the shamisen were clanging, and Du Yi, who was floating around, had changed his libretto at some point.

"A lot of lovesickness is far away, it's annoying to laugh at foolishness."

Tu Fang paused, and slowly finished the glass of wine in his hand.

"Huaye." He said the name again, thoughtfully.

The two noisy elder brothers of the Gu family who are not far away have developed the topic into "Zhou Ping's bloodline is very reasonable. Kondo-kun, you must train him a lot. After all, he is the most reliable successor" and other annoying things. statement.Tufang frowned impatiently, and put the wine glass on the table vigorously.

However, there was the sound of the shamisen, Douyi's singing, and the conversation between Kondo-kun and the two older brothers of the Tani family. No one noticed even though Hijikata put his wine glass heavily on the table.

Instead, the flowers and leaves beside him glanced at him.

"What?" Tufang noticed that look, and asked in a slightly bad tone. "Do you have any ideas?"

Huaye seemed a little surprised, glanced at Hijikata, then quickly glanced at Gu Sanshirou, who was still talking, and said, "That man... is a bit pretentious... a tone of big talk..."

Hijikata was taken aback, but he didn't expect this new girl to speak very frankly, and the anger in his heart caused by Gu Sansanlang's aggressiveness dissipated a lot, so he couldn't help laughing.

"You, you really dare to say it!" He commented, his right hand dropped to the small table, and his slender fingers stroked the rim of the wine glass.

"...has anyone ever taught you, 'Bass comes out of your mouth'?"

When he spoke, he tilted his head slightly, and the corner of his eye fell on Huaye's knee.Now that his hand is covering the mouth of the wine glass, and he doesn't have to pour wine for him for a while, her white hands are softly covered on his knees, and against the bright red kimono, they look even whiter; Hijikata noticed her hands It's not like those women with protruding finger bones and stretched blue veins after working hard. Her hands are not big, but the back of her hands has a soft and smooth feeling under the light, and the joints are not obvious, which makes people feel The idea of ​​wanting to pinch.

He couldn't help laughing for a moment.

... Such hands cannot be possessed by a pair of secret agents or well-trained killers.Maybe before she came to Shimabara, her family should have been very good at one time, so she could raise such a pair of hands.At the same time, the reason for her poor family background can also explain the elegant and calm temperament she exudes, which cannot be possessed by the daughter of a local townsman.

He couldn't help looking along those hands until his eyes fell on her face again.However, the heavy makeup required by a geisha almost concealed the real beauty of her facial features. Under the thick layer of makeup, only those bright eyes impressed him very deeply, as if there were countless stories contained in them, nothing like The other girls in Huajie who have shown favor to him can see the end at a glance.

He wondered what the light he saw in those eyes was.Until he heard her answer.

"It's true that someone told me that...but I think that if you can protect Kyoto and make a name for yourself in a short period of time, Mr. Hijikata should also see through my lies..." She said, "So, I think I'd better The truth should be told in front of you, even though it may sometimes sound..."

She stopped, and Hijikata laughed lowly.

"What? Don't you know what to say if you don't like it?" He asked slightly jokingly, removing the hand covering the rim of the wine glass.

Huaye immediately noticed it with her sharp eyes, walked up two steps on her knees, picked up the wine bottle to pour him wine again, tilted her head slightly while pouring wine, and replied: "Because Mr. Already~"

Hijikata seemed to find it interesting, and raised his eyelids to glance at her again.

"You are an interesting person." He said in a leisurely manner, raised the wine glass that she had filled, and drank it down.

……

That day, the two brothers of the Tani family hosted a banquet in honor of Kondo and Hijikata, and their plan to fight for their younger brother's inheritance rights seemed to have made no progress.However, Liu Quan managed to attract the attention of the earthworker.

A few days later, when Liu Quan was still staying in the "floating boat", she received a message from another Yang House, saying that the gentlemen from the Xinxuan Group might come to Yang House again tonight. Someone has been sent to make an appointment.

Liu Quan really wanted to get a basic goodwill and trust in front of Tu Fang as soon as possible, and then take advantage of the opportunity of the night banquet to set his words.

Through the banquet of the two brothers of the Gu family last time, she understood one thing - no matter when you explore the inside of the real Shinsengumi, you will notice the undercurrents, not the world she experienced Same, most of the time is peaceful and beautiful and it is infinitely nostalgic.

It's true to think about it carefully. The members of the Shinsengumi are purged every year along the way, and the cadres are also lost every year for various reasons. Of course they have people who died in battle, but there are also a lot of seppuku.

Liu Quan still remembers that in the previous world, when the Shinsengumi left Kofu and passed through Tama’s hometown, the folks held a banquet for them. In the middle of the banquet, someone mentioned that Hijikata almost met the eldest lady of the shamisen shop in his hometown. When Qin got married on a blind date, the deputy chief was immediately embarrassed and avoided the table; as a result, he happened to meet A Qin in the courtyard after leaving the hall. Liu Quan also overheard A Qin accusing the deputy chief, one of the crimes was the most important Members also cut it when they say it, and give it up when they say it——

Although it is said that those who were purged and ordered to cut seppuku have their own reasons, but from the side, we can also see that the Shinsengumi has different opinions, different hearts, and intertwined forces.

Sure enough, in the world she experienced, although the torrent of the times was still rolling in and engulfed everyone, that world was generally in the most ideal state.

We rarely have disputes, and even if we do, we can finally reach a mutual understanding; we work together to pursue a belief, fight desperately, laugh desperately, survive desperately, and shine desperately; but in this real world Here, there are different aspirations, different ideas, different factions, and there are even guys like the Gu family brothers who take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and want to profit for themselves.

For the first time, Liu Quan deeply felt that the real Shinsengumi was not like the melodious and meaningful place she experienced, like a long song in the evening of the times, but this kind of water surface. Ripples on the top, turbulent undercurrents below, deep pools of tumbling sediment and gravel in the water, are engulfed by the trend of the times, and we don’t know whether we are heading to the vast sea or the last sunset before darkness.

The author has something to say:

February 5:

Although it is the Shannan line, the appearance rate of the deputy chief may be slightly higher in the last few chapters【.

Mr. Shannan, I'm sorry [Hello!

To be honest, the Taiga drama "Shinsengumi! "The deputy chief and the chief chief are simply superb!

So now that I’ve written it here, I can’t help but brush up on these two types that I don’t seem to have described yet.

PS. A little note:

1. This chapter cites the two capitals, Duyi, mainly because their content is very suitable for the situation between the girl and the deputy chief (although not the original deputy chief).The translation is a little more classical, and the actual Duyi is almost like 7775 sentences.The most famous capital city is Takasugi's "Three Thousand Worlds Killed by Crows".

2. The new pseudonym "Huaye" used by the girl, the latter word comes from the girl's original pseudonym "Xueye", and the former word is because the deputy chief in history wrote a letter to a friend to show off how many Huajie women admired him , the first of which is Shimabara's Taifu Hana-kun
