Edo Traveler

Vol 2 Chapter 37: There are women in old acquaintances

   I don’t know whether to use the twists and turns, or the hardships to describe. Since Chungemon rushed to the bhikshuni's residence to register the fire prevention unit, for three consecutive days, no woman with identity had left the bhikshuni's residence.

   stunned the snake?

   It shouldn't be so, what Chuemon wants to do is also very secretive. There was no mention of Yanmingyuan's affairs at all, and apart from registering the sedan chair, he didn't even dare to say a word of nonsense. On the surface, he pretends to be an official person, and it really makes people think that Lord Edogawa is an honest and selfless official.

   It should be a coincidence, Chuemon can only comfort himself like this. At the same time, Heping III took into account the two key points of Yanmingyuan and Bhikuni Residence, recording the approximate number of those noble ladies entering and leaving the Yanmingyuan every day. Of course, there may be people who will pretend to enter the Yanmeiyuan, but this probability is relatively small.

From a young age to a freshman, a woman who has been pampering her all her life, married when she was a teenager, and always wandered around the wells and stoves, giving birth to two, three, or even four or five children. Ordinary women are not the same.

   Even sometimes, people suspect that these are two species. East Asia is now an era where male chauvinism prevails. The man only needs to make money outside the economy or make progress in his studies, and all the rest is left to the woman at home. Poor families even have mothers who have just given birth to two or three months old on their backs, and they have to work in the fields.

   Those women who are pampered, eat fine food all their lives and don't need to do rough work, can't pretend to be ordinary women at all, and can't pretend to be anything. Even the posture of walking and even the posture of bending over are different.

   Unless this aristocratic lady ran to the slums to imitate those women, and worked hard for the next three to five years, then she could really act like the poor people. Otherwise, even if you wear worn-out clothes, you can still be seen by Chuemon at a glance.

   Besides, the most important thing is that Enmei-in Temple was originally the temple where these noble ladies believed in faith. This is an open matter, and there is nothing wrong with visiting the temple. Twice in a year, it is normal to pray for the blessing of the husband who is dead, or simply pay a visit.

   As long as it doesn't happen, it's all said and done!

   So it's clear that everything is business as usual, why suddenly no one is here?

   "Why are the flags dead these days, and nothing can be found?" Chungemon returned home, lying on the porch, holding the wind fan.

   "I don't understand..." Heizo also shook his head.

   The two were a little depressed and stopped talking, just waiting for the dinner at home to be ready. But when someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard, the servants of the house immediately stepped forward to welcome the knocker in. In theory, it was Ping San's mother, but in fact the one who was the sister-in-law was called out, had a few conversations with the person, and took out a handful of money to send the person away.

   "Is this something happening in the town?" Chuemon was curious.

   "It's the town that collects the fee for the Taoist festival."

   Taoism Festival?

   I do know the name, Ota Daoguan, but what is the Daoguan Festival? Chuemon had lived in the temple for more than ten years, and he didn't know very well about this kind of ceremonial activities among citizens.

   Seeing that the two little ones were very confused, Ping San's cheap stepmother simply talked with them. The so-called Daoguan Festival is a ceremony dedicated to Ota Daoguan. Just listen to the name, two people will understand.

   Why do you want to worship Ota Dokan? The reason is simpler. The founder of Edo Castle is Ota Dokan. So the people living in Edo Castle naturally worship him.

   It is well known that Ota Daoguan was wrongfully killed by his lord. In Japanese culture, the ghosts of such people who have been wrongfully killed are likely to become ghosts. Sugawara Michizane, who was very famous in the Heian period, should have been heard by many people. After he was exiled and died, it is said that he turned into a resentful spirit and wreaked havoc in Heianjing. The imperial court and ministers increased their sacrifices, and even finally named him the "Thunder God" to calm his anger.

  Edo people worship Ota Dokan for the same reason. They enshrine you as the patron saint of Edo Castle. I hope you will protect Edo, the city you built, and don’t become ghosts and mess around in Edo.

   "Ditang flowers bloomed seven or eightfold, and they were pitiful and fruitless." Chanting this poem, Ota Daoguan was killed on the 26th of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The ceremonies are of course not on the day of death, usually 30 or forty days after they are sent for cremation or burial. Chuemon counted the days for a while, it seemed that it was just these two days.

   Therefore, the towns on the street were collecting money from house to house, and everyone confessed to the resentful spirits who might run around on the death day, blessing their own safety.

The Edo Town will also represent General Tokugawa, Xiangtoshoin (where the Tomb of Ota is located), Daciji Temple (the Bodhi Temple of Ota), Gorei Shrine (enshrines the wooden statue of Ota Dokan), as well as Hoonji Temple and Jingsheng Temple A certain amount of incense is offered to temples and shrines such as Myogi Shrine.

  The reason why the Tokugawa shogunate is willing to publicly worship Ota Dokan is mainly because he has a great-granddaughter named Ajian. It was the side room of the first general Tokugawa Ieyasu~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She raised one of the three imperial families, the ancestor Tokugawa Yorifou of the Mito clan, and had a very important position in the Tokugawa shogunate.

   All aspects are combined, so until the 11th year of Showa, before the Ermou Sixth Incident, the Taoist Festival was a "ghost festival" celebrated by the people of Edo.

   No wonder, no wonder! It turned out that the "Ghost Festival" was about to be celebrated recently, so those people didn't go to the Yanming Yard either. Let alone the present, there will be a lot of people who will have such taboos on the Ghost Festival in the future. It's normal to think about it. If you go out to steal, you already have a ghost in your heart. If you can go out and steal on the Ghost Festival with the courage, then it's definitely a dragon and a phoenix among people.

  Tadaemon and Heizo looked at each other, revealing the same expression. If I knew that these two days were the Ghost Festival, I had to monitor Mao. Why not lie down at home for two days?

   I guess how we have to wait for the Taoist festival to be over. This group of talents will continue their activities. Then, we can strengthen the surveillance. Let's also go to the Ota Road to burn some paper and pull it down.

   "The fake monk over there hasn't been found yet. We have been investigating this for more than half a month, and we haven't seen a shadow at all, alas..." Chugoemon got up, patted his **** and walked into the house.

   "Let's just say, if the above is dissatisfied, the two of us will definitely eat and die!" Heizo was also somewhat worried.

   "I hope everything goes well in the future."

   "Wait, don't you know a woman!" Ping San seemed to think of something.

   "Which one?" Tadaemon had no idea which woman Heizo was talking about. He was a bachelor, and where he was good.

   "Oh, that's that, that's who..."
