Chapter 992 Mysterious Letter
On April 3rd of the third month of the third year of Yonglu.⊕On this day, a drizzle broke out in the area of Junfucheng in Tokaido. As the city lord Imagawa Yoshimoto was about to go to Luo, people in the city said that this was a auspicious rain, indicating that Lord Imagawa Yoshimoto would go to Luo successfully.
On this day, the two side rooms of the city lord actually gave birth to a daughter at the same time. Yoshimoto Imakawa, who was 41 years old, actually got two more princesses on the occasion of Luo, which surprised everyone in Imakawa, and everyone said that this was a good omen.
In Junfu City, there is also a childbirth room, and the childbirth room of the side room, the Chamei Courtyard is spacious and bright. However, the childbirth room of Iiji is moved to a maid's room at the end of the long house. The cold room is heartbreaking. Until now, no one has come to visit. Only the maid Ah Chun is with him, blowing the charcoal fire under the pot.
"I heard that the princess of the Madame Chameiyuan is very popular." Achun blew the charcoal fire under the pot and said quickly: "When the princess was born, the city lord went to visit him."
Iijima didn't speak, but looked at the white window paper and sighed faintly from time to time. Next to Iijima, there was a sleeping baby girl lying next to me. She and the daughter of Chameiyuan were born at the same time on the same day of the same month. Iijima felt incredible and sad. Why are there so many differences in status in the side rooms at the same time?
"Madam, the porridge is ready." Achun came to Ichiji with a steaming bowl of porridge.
Iiji suddenly started coughing violently, feeling the blood in his body boiling. As long as he moved his emotions, his life might flow with the blood. "Achun, I don't want to eat it yet, so put it aside first."
"But...if you don't eat..."
"I said. I don't want to eat!"
Achun held the bowl in embarrassment and walked around the room, saying, "It's really unbearable."
"What's wrong?"
"I heard from the servants talk below that on the day the princess of the Mama Maiyuan was born, the woman who served tea and water also gave birth to a child. I don't know if it was a man or a woman."
"What, I said I was serving tea and water..." Previously, due to the difference in status, Ichiku did serve tea for the wife of the Tea Plum Academy in person.
"Yes. They actually regarded the wife as a servant. I don't know who made the rumor!"
Achun originally wanted to comfort Ichijiu, but Ichijiu curled up in a ball and started crying. She was feeling sad for her position and even more miserable for her own experience. So, Ichijiu shook and kept crying despite Achun's surprise gaze.
The partition became a little dim, probably because the sun was blocked by dark clouds.
"I'm Mrs. Iiji?" At this moment, someone asked in a low voice outside the room.
As the male voice rang out, Mrs. Iiku, in the room, immediately stopped crying, and the maid became surprised by this. Generally speaking, men thought that the childbirth room was an unclean place, and they would not enter it within twenty-one days after the mother gave birth. But now, why did a man suddenly appear outside? And it was obvious that she came to look for Mrs. Iiku.
For this reason, Ichijiu had to raise his head slightly on the mattress and signal the maid to go out to see who it was. After Achun understood what Mrs. Ichijiu meant, she gently pulled a little gap between the wooden partitions and then flashed out. Soon after, Achun came back, holding a letter in her hand:
"Madam, that person is very strange. He has no identity, but it seems to be a warrior guarding the city gate of the family." Because of the strange behavior of the visitor, after returning to the room and closing the Mubi in the room again, Achun said immediately.
"By the way, the man asked me to hand the letter to my wife, and said mysteriously, 'Madam, don't worry, everything goes well, please ask my wife to cooperate if you have any questions in the future'. After that, the man left."
Ichijiu opened his eyes wide, neither nodding nor laughing. Seeing this, the maid Achun walked into Ichijiu's wife and handed her the letter.
Mrs. Iijima was a little unconscious of taking the letter and looking into the envelope at will, but she immediately sat up. Although there was no text on the surface of the letter, she painted a cherry blossom. Only one person could draw this cherry blossom, and only Mrs. Iijima could see who drew such a cherry blossom.
"It's Hikari, it's my Hikari." Mrs. Iijiku said to herself while quickly tearing open the envelope. Eleven years ago, her son Hikari was taken away from the temple by her husband's mother Shouguini, and there has been no news since then. Although Shouguini often told her that Yoshiku had always lived a good life, before seeing her son Hikari, Mrs. Iijiku thought in her heart that Shouguini was lying to her, and even her son Hikari had already died.
She had already felt sorry for her, but today she saw the unique mark of her son who had been missing for eleven years. Although the time has been so long and her young son has grown up, this is the cherry blossom mark she created when she was still with her son. Even if she dies, as a mother, she will keep it in her heart.
So, it was strange that she was not excited at this time. She quickly tore open the envelope, then pulled out the letter paper and held it tightly. Soon after, she seemed to be infected by the content in the letter. Her face was sad, happy, and felt... Until finally, she leaned down and started crying, and tears wet the pillow and bedding under her.
"Madam, you?" Seeing the sudden change of Mrs. Iiji, the maid Ah Chun felt a little scared, so she quickly approached Mrs. Iiji and lowered her head to comfort her.
"Woo..." Mrs. Ii Ichiku raised her head. She ignored the maid Ah Chun, but kept talking to herself in her heart, "So that's it, so that's it. It's fine, it's fine."
At this moment, Mrs. Iijima had so much hope that she could cry loudly and vent her longing for her son over the years in her heart. But as the son said in the letter, for the safety of her and her daughter, and for the sooner she could meet her son, she still had to endure it now.
After crying in a low voice for a long time, Iijima's wife raised her red eyes and handed the letter to Ah Chun, the maid beside her: "Burn it."
"Ah?" The maid Achun took the letter that had been stained with the tears of his wife, and was wrinkled because the wife had pressed it tightly to her heart, but she was a little confused. Judging from the wife's previous situation, the wife obviously took this letter very seriously, but why did she burn it again?
(Thanks to "kingleo, Shenluan" for the support of the 200-point coins.
I would like to say sorry to everyone first. The weather was wet and cold the previous two days, especially on the way home from the Internet cafe at night, it was even colder, and even my hands were sore. As a result, the weather suddenly improved yesterday, and the maximum temperature was more than 30 degrees. In such weather, I was caught.
