It's too difficult to fall in love with rewards

Chapter 141
Time goes by,
Little by little the sublime becomes the farcical.

——Yukio Mishima.

■

During the period of summer vacation, Ju Qingxian lived a life of half captivity and half special training.

His whole body was handed over to the care of the elderly Tateshina Miko. During the day, he had relative strength training, and at night, he had culture or art classes.

Oh, by the way, although Tateshina Miko's face can vaguely see the beauty of the past, but now the wrinkled appearance looks gloomy and domineering.

"How long are you going to sleep?"

"—Get up quickly!"

Early in the morning, Ju Qingxian was yelled at as usual.

"Master Qing, the sun is already high." Tateshina Priestess stared at him with slightly empty, cloudy eyes, "Today is the first day, get up and start today's training."

"Ha~"

Tangerine Qingxian yawned.

The summer sun shines on the tatami from the lattice windows, and the sparrows are chirping outside the windows.

"What is Chaojian?" He rubbed his eyes and asked.

"On the first day of every month, the family will hold a worship ceremony for the children of the younger generation. After worshiping the Omi, everyone gathers together for breakfast." Tateshina Miko said blankly, "You can have breakfast Don’t eat, but you must worship the Great God, and I must supervise the training.”

"Ah~"

Tangerine sighed.

Even though he is still a student, he can't sleep in during the summer vacation;

Youyou heaven, why are you thinner than me...

After brushing his teeth and washing his face with half-closed eyes, Tachibana Qingxian changed into a clean safari jacket with two golden buttons on the collar; Delicate skin.

As long as someone pulls hard, I will die...

Looking at him in the mirror, a picture of being strangled to death emerged in his heart without warning.

Coming out of the confinement room, Miko Tateshina brought the young master to the hall of worship.

Thin ropes hang over the pebble-covered approach, and a piece of white paper is tied at intervals, swaying slightly in the wind.The moss that grows under the stone is as green as seaweed after rain.The running water drawn from the artificial lake flows through the woods.

The strong sunlight, cut into irregular light spots by the treetops, falls on the weeds.

The summer sun shining on the lawn reveals a bright mystery that can't help but make people's hearts flutter.

Ju Qingxian walked across the Shenqiao and came to the front of the worship hall, and saw a corner of the white background purple flower curtain on the worship hall.

Along the spacious corridor of the worship hall, there are two rows of meals side by side, and a group of young women with long black hair tied up are sitting there, all dressed in maiden costumes.Inside the worship hall, Kumiko Matsudaira, who presided over the ceremony, had already begun to say goodbye to the Omikami. There was a beautifully decorated worship seat next to the altar, but the three wives could not be seen. It seemed that they might not come in person.

Ju Qingxian was urged to sit in front of the meal in the middle of the corridor.

There are about twenty meals arranged, and the people sitting on the left and right sides of him are all young girls.

Dazzling sunlight came in from the side, and these little witches sitting side by side were as fresh and beautiful as lotus flowers blooming in the morning.

Red and white maiden clothes, the white is the refreshing snow white, and the red is the delicate and beautiful crimson; everywhere you look, you can see all the young girls in bloom, which makes Tangerine's waking up a lot less angry.

As expected of the Matsudaira family...

The children of the younger generation are all girls.

It's not enough, I have to find a way to get Rinko over... Tachibana looked at these little witches appreciatively, but was taken aback for a moment.

The girls here are basically girls from the Matsudaira family branch. Generally speaking, half of them belong to me, and the other half can't escape after I become the head of the family.

If he wanted to get Rinko over, could it be that subconsciously he also wanted to make Rinko his own?

ummm
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
But Ju Qingxian said that she should not be a scumbag.

Dressed in a priestess costume, the holy and solemn Matsudaira Kumiko waved the jade string with white paper strips left and right, and recited prayers at the same time.In the middle, four little witches stood up and performed a kami dance in the worship hall.

All four are beautiful young girls with golden crowns on their heads, black hair and golden paper ropes tied with red and white decorative papers.

There was also a white raw silk garment with a silver rice leaf pattern on the outside of the scarf, and the bottom hem dragged to the ground.When the breeze blows, small pale yellow flowers will suddenly fall from the tall tree crowns on both sides of the courtyard.

And the girls were still holding white lily bouquets in their hands.

Following the solemn and mysterious prayer, the girl held up the lilies, and the bouquet stood gracefully.After a while, it was held horizontally in the hand again, and the flowers drew soft white lines in the air, as sharp as a blade piercing the air...beautiful and dangerous.

Such a graceful and quaint dance made Tachibana Qingxian gradually intoxicated.

He likes mathematics, his thinking has always been more rational, and his serious and rigorous attitude has the absolute upper hand. It can be said that he will never be a pious worshiper.But now, when looking at his wonderful sacrifice ceremony, and the lush and lush trees shining brightly in the morning sky after worshiping the temple, I have to think that there may really be a god in the world.

The dancing girls, with their pink and white faces, their long eyelashes casting shadows in the sunlight, are endowed with divinity at the same time as the plants and trees here, and they are naturally transformed into gods.

Being in such an atmosphere, most people feel that no matter how unbelievable things are, they seem to be able to believe it at this time... But despite the scene being so mysterious and charged with divinity, Tangerine's clear heart, But never immersed in pious awe.

The gods he believes in must first be aboveboard.

If you can't even come out to meet someone, this kind of god is better than a foot wipe; if there is really a ubiquitous and clear god, he may believe in him.However, as far as he knows, the person who is closest to the existence of a god is Madam Yu... This woman makes him love and hate at the same time. In the future, he will either love to the extreme or hate to the extreme. There is absolutely no such thing as piety.

The white paper fluttered and shone in the morning wind.

After the maidens danced the Kagura dance, silence fell like raindrops.

There was the fluttering of some kind of insect's feathers, and the treetops pierced the bright sky like spear points.

The young man sat in the middle, listening to the lengthy prayer without moving a muscle, and he didn't know if he really listened to it.His eyes were shining brightly; although he was looking directly at the Great God in the middle of the worship hall, his eyes were as indifferent as a piece of steel that had nothing to do with the outside.

A snicker sounded like a faint red plum blossom.

It was the sound of a girl snickering, and Ju Qing obviously didn't care, and more and more girls were snickering.

The roof was bathed in sunlight and shone brightly.

The young man in a kimono decorated with a family crest sat there, the warmth accumulated on his skin, which seemed dreamlike and unreal.The beautiful girls are still watching at the place within reach, waiting for the day when he will become the head of the family...

After Matsudaira Kumiko finished reciting the prayer, the visit ceremony was considered to be over, and the jade string used for the ceremony was hung on the neck of the only male.

Then everyone knelt and sat on the eaves of the corridor, facing the direction where the sun rose, and were welcoming the sun.

In front of everyone, small plates with dishes and a glass of sake are lined up, and vases with lilies are placed at regular intervals.

When the midsummer sun left the knee, the banquet that belonged to the world began.

In front of Tachibana Kiyoshi, there was no sake, but a carved small wine cup filled with black and red liquid.

"What is this?" he asked Tateshina.

"Turtle blood." Tateshina Miko replied with her drooping cheeks trembling, "Madam raised it herself, it has been 12 years, and it is in the artificial lake. The influence of the curse on the young master will increase this month, so Madam told me to take It was picked up from the lake and slaughtered."

Ju Qingxian didn't ask any more questions.

When he swallowed the uncomfortable, slippery thing down his throat, he felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen.As the sun rose, the weather was already getting hotter. Coupled with the heat from the turtle's blood, beads of sweat began to crawl on his body like little bugs, making him very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain.

It was the strange heat of turtle blood that was burning his body.

The face distorted by the pain is extremely beautiful, the pain makes his face appear angular, and the shape of the eyebrows twisted is even a bit majestic and handsome; the delicate eyes are wet with tears, which makes the pupils exude a sad hero spirit.

"What's the matter with you?" A beautiful girl with slender eyes noticed his strangeness.

Kumiko Matsudaira looked over, and said slightly with her lips: "Go to the waterfall in the artificial lake to wash."

"I'm full, let's eat slowly..." Ju Qingxian got up immediately, and walked away from the few rays of sunlight leaking from the bushes.

Tateshina Miko followed closely.

The trees shook and the leaves rustled.

The chirping of cicadas brought more and more heat, but the calamus leaves by the artificial lake were all swaying, making the water in the pool mottled.

Like a person caught by some kind of hallucination, Ju Qingxian ran all the way to the artificial lake, tore off the coat embroidered with clover, and jumped into the water.

There is a rockery in the middle of the artificial lake.

The waterfall rushed down directly from the rockery, and the water came from nowhere.

The mouth of the water is sunny and lush, with a straw rope hanging in the middle.

Whenever the wind blows, the green grass will blow with the wind, and the white paper will also blow with the wind.With his upper body bare, Ju Qingxian swam directly to the rockery below the waterfall and stood there. The flowing water fell and scattered on his shoulders and the top of his head.

Amidst the clattering sound, the flowing water hits the young and elastic muscles.

The slightly flushed skin looked sexy and beautiful under the splashing water drops.

A group of women came across the yard.

Mrs. Sakura in red kimono and Mrs. Yue in light blue kimono walked in the front, followed by a group of maids.They walked along the lake, and the laughter they uttered during the process was as pleasant as the melodious call of a female bird.

"Sister, look." Mrs. Sakura pointed to the waterfall.

Madam Yue looked over.

The boy who had a sad expression a second ago suddenly smiled.

But his brows were frowned by the impact of the water, so this smile didn't look pretty... Mrs. Yue stared at it, and asked worriedly, "Will the intensity of this training be too high?"

"He can take..."

Mrs. Sakura said with a sweet smile.

At this time, the boy in the water seemed to be like a peacock spreading its tail, straightening its shoulders and chest to bear the impact of the flowing water.Mrs. Ying turned her head and said to her sister: "Besides, after being washed by the waterfall, his mind can be purified."

"Ah Qing's mind is never impure." Mrs. Yue said dotingly.

The younger sister gave her elder sister a blank look.

Rationality is like a nightcrawler's flashlight, the light only spreads one step away in front of you, your Ah Qing will be irrational at any time, okay?

The drops of water glistened in the sun. Madam Yue looked at the young man with a gentle smile on her lips: "It seems that Ah Qing is holding back his strength. He seems to have turned the anger of being confined into perseverance. No matter how well he trains these days It was so hard, I carried it all without saying a word. For this kind of healthy and sports-loving child, I like it from the bottom of my heart..."

After all, you all think that my little nephew died early because of his frailty... Mrs. Sakura really wanted to tell her everything, but she was afraid that her fragile body and mind would not be able to withstand the huge stimulation, so she could only hold back and said: " This kid has insisted on exercising since he was a child, and he is really hardworking. I heard from his elementary school teacher that even on rainy days, he never forgot to go to the playground to exercise..."

"Isn't it his 13th birthday the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Accompany me to choose gifts. Oh, and Xiaowei's..."

"it is good."

The two ladies took one last look at the waterfall.

"Ah Qing, come on..."

The orange in the water was clear, and his eyes kept looking at this side.

Those eyes, with a clear and sharp light... and the shoulders that gradually became angular, the protruding and enlarged Adam's apple, inadvertently already a little taller than Xiao Wei and Rinko... the weak and weak look on him in the past The aristocratic and handsome temperament seems to be gradually being replaced by masculine beauty.

——like the shogunate era was overthrown by the new samurai class.

There is no doubt that.

He is transforming, and will soon complete his transformation.

■

Night fell.

During the day, he practiced kendo, boxing and equestrianism.

Back in the confinement hut, even though he was too tired to move, Tachibana Qingxian was still flipping through the logic notes after taking a shower.

In the foggy halo of the old lighting, his eyes fell on the densely written but very neat notebook.

"Aristotle's formal logic dominated the entire European academic circles before the Middle Ages. Among them, the 'Old Logic' was initiated by the "Category" and "Explanation" in "Apparatus". The "New Logic" was Marked by the completion of the Roman translation of the Organolus in the twelfth century..."

Looking at it, he suddenly thought of Aunt Yue.

As a result, he split into two oranges, and the shadows of two completely different spiritual worlds appeared.

One is haggard and crazy for love, and the other is studying hard for reality;
One is indulging in the chaotic and blind ocean of emotion, and the other is building a solid and rational building down-to-earth... I am afraid that no one in this world knows that he is such a divided person, except Rinzi.

But Rinko Hagiwara had no time to think about him at this time.

Miss Linzi is deeply troubled by one thing: Teacher Weaving made a sudden visit in the afternoon and invited her to Matsudaira's house to celebrate her birthday with Young Master Qing and Miss Wei.
