Chess Soul's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 240
The reign name before July 1004 was Changbao. Perhaps the emperor at that time hoped to protect Heian-kyo for a long time.

However, this can only be a good wish.

At this time, Heianjing is a place where ghosts and demons coexist. At night, people, ghosts, ghosts, and demons run rampant.

Wealthy people sing and sing every night in a bright place.Poor people complain and complain in the dark.

And ghosts come in and out of each house at night, so there are strange incidents of attacking high-ranking officials and dignitaries, appearing one after another.

Of course, there are also tragedies of attacking civilians, but the government will not accept them in time, nor will they take precautions.

Because no one knows which family will be attacked by ghosts.Maybe even the ghosts themselves don't know.

People in the government can't deal with ghosts.

Only onmyojis can do it, and among these onmyojis, the most powerful one is probably Abe Seimei-sama.

Tendomaru felt a gust of wind blowing, and then he clenched the blue jade around his neck tightly.This is the top grade bestowed by my father, and this is a treasure that even Master Seimei nods in praise.

At this time, there was no sound in the empty room, except for the red candle on the edge of the chessboard that kept weeping.

The blue stone emits a strange light, which has the same frequency as the purple earrings on Zuo Wei's ear, but no one is aware of it.

"What's going on, how can there be such a powerful breath."

"Ah, I can't get close..."

"Why, why can't you get close..."

"Such a fresh, pure soul, such a tonic..."

"what……"

Soon, Zuo Wei felt a lot more relaxed.

He let out a sigh of relief and continued to accompany this lovely nephew.

However, thoughts started to fly wild...

Zuowei's grandfather was the power minister Fujiwara Kane, and his father Fujiwara Michijo was the third son of Fujiwara Kane.

The father is now an important minister of the court, and the elder sister will be registered as the queen of the middle palace next month.

Now the emperor's harem is almost controlled by the Fujiwara family. From the previous generation of emperors, it must be the Fujiwara family to enter the harem.Therefore, the Fujiwara family now has the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and there will be a queen soon.

This made the emperor, who had always wanted to govern independently, very unhappy, and the relationship with the Fujiwara family was very tense for a time.

Zuo Wei has a prominent family background, but his own status is not very high.

Because of his biological mother, he was not favored at home.Since I was a child, I couldn't read and practice calligraphy as hard as the three elder brothers and three older sisters in the main room.

It's just that when my elder brother and sister were studying, they secretly listened.

However, even so, Fujiwara Sawei also learned swordsmanship, flute and Go.

Although the Heian period was a time when ghosts and ghosts were rampant, it was also a time when Japanese aristocratic culture was in full swing.

Horses and chariots on the road carried men in black hats and fine clothes, and in the small sedan chair carried by the crowd, a girl with black hair dragging the floor opened the curtain and looked around.

Poor people, traffickers, and pawns would stand across the fence in Akihabara, looking at the glamorous and glamorous princesses inside, and would look forward to the appearance of the faceless oiran.

Ah, if you happen to be lucky, you can meet an oiran parading in the street wearing high clogs more than ten centimeters thick and a red twelve-single dress, followed by a few little girls throwing flowers.

Scented all the way, eye-catching, able to lure away a man's soul.

In Zuo Wei's eyes, the most fragrant breath, the most beautiful appearance, and the loudest notes are not as important as breaking a game of chess.

"Chess nerd, what are you thinking about.

Hurry up, today the two of us are going to the front pier to meet the second sister and His Highness Tendomaru. "

"Yes."

Fujiwara Keiko had actually brought her son here, originally intending to let her son meet the people in the market.

However, whoever imagined to meet an oiran parading in the street is really unlucky.

However, it was precisely because of this that Qingzi saw the person who was unmoved by the beauty and prosperity.

"Mother, I want him to play with me."

His son Tendomaru pointed at Zuowei and announced loudly, "Mother, I want to bring him back to the palace and accompany me."

An underappreciated son in the family, who gave birth to a son for the emperor, and is about to become the daughter of Empress Nakamiya.

Mr. Fujiwara clearly distinguishes which is more important.

"That kid is good at Go. Isn't Tendomaru going to learn Go soon, and it's just for him to enlighten him."

In this way, Fujiwara Sawei was brought to the palace by Tendomaru and became the prince's Go teacher.

Tendomaru's mother didn't just mean that, she felt that such a person, placed by her son's side, would at least not bring him down.

Perhaps, Fujiwara Zuowei was very lucky this year. When he was teaching Tendo Maru to play chess in the garden, he met the Emperor.

"It's really good, come and teach me tomorrow."

When the emperor spoke, even the power minister Fujiwara Michizane dared not disobey, let alone Zuowei.

However, he didn't know at the time that the Emperor already had a Go teacher by his side, named Kentada Sugawara.

"Your Majesty, do you really want Sato Fujiwara to be your chess instructor?"

"Yuqi is waiting for the imperial edict. This position is good. What would other families think about giving an unfavored child to the Fujiwara family?"

The attendants around him thought about the power behind Sugawara Hidetada, and it seemed that they were indeed not from the Fujiwara family.It turns out that the emperor did this for a purpose.

In this way, Fujiwara Sawei began his work of instructing the master to play chess.

Of course, after all, he and Sugawara Kentada are the two who are waiting for the imperial chess order. The lord is busy with official duties, so he doesn't always have time to play chess.

Therefore, Fujiwara Sawai is not very busy, he is often called by Tendomaru to his sister's palace to guide the game of chess, or to play with Tendomaru.

"Sawei, the girl sitting and reading over there is Murasaki Shikibu, the female officer next to mother." Tendomaru pointed to a beautiful girl reading a book and said: "Mother often praises her for her literary talent and personality.

Most importantly, she has not betrothed to anyone yet.if you have……"

Tendomaru deliberately dragged on the following words for a long time, and then watched with satisfaction as Zuo's face became more and more red, and finally almost stuck to the chessboard.

"Haha, you're making fun of me, you're really making fun of me." Tendomaru covered his stomach with one hand and patted the table with the other, and said, "Zuo Wei, you really made me die..."

Zuo Wei remembered that the day he was teased happened to be the cherry blossom season, and the cherry blossoms outside the temple were like clouds.

When the breeze blew, the cherry blossoms fell all over the ground one after another, just like the smiling face of Tendomaru at that time.

Zuo Wei looked at Tendo Maru who was sleeping on the chessboard, and wanted to touch him lovingly, but he passed through Tendo Maru's head.

"Zuowei, why aren't you here yet..."

Tendomaru, who had been waiting for two days, finally couldn't stand it any longer. He said to his mother, "I want Zuowei to teach me how to play chess."

Unexpectedly, he was reprimanded. Tendomaru didn't speak, thinking that he might have gone to his uncle's house, so I'll go to his uncle's house.
