The palanquin was lifted up the stone slab in front of the steps. Yale helped the family to walk to the front of the sedan car and unveiled the sedan curtain. He was respectful and full of warmth, as if he was greeting his daughter: "Congratulations on the safe arrival of Miss, and the main family welcomes Miss to the Humble House!" He propped up the ground with both hands, but did not bow his head, and the expression on his face was quite calm.

People's eyes invariably turned to the sedan chair. Not only did they want to see the bride, but they also wanted to know what the 14-year-old bride, who was about to become the bond between the two families of Matsudaira Mizuno, would say first when she arrived in Okazaki.

"Everyone's done a great job. Her voice was still a little childish, "I'm very happy to have arrived in Okazaki safely." ”

Mrs. Zhengjia kneeled close to the sedan chair and put her hand in. Huayangyuan stood aside, motionless and watched all this. The excitement of walking out of the living room was replaced by a strange calm. Lily, the daughter of Hijikata Sewing Temple, came out of the palanquin behind her and knelt on the ground.

For a while, everyone's eyes lit up. Yu Da walked out of the sedan chair with the hand of Mrs. Zhengjia, shining brightly. She wore a tunic emblazoned with plum blossoms, adorned with gold threads and several large Yae cherry blossoms, and inside was a white satin jacket with some whiskers revealing snow-white skin. She was not low, and her eyes and lips showed the immaturity of a fourteen-year-old girl.

is worthy of being a well-known beauty, and people can't help but hold their breath. Yu Da is very similar to her mother Huayangyuan, but her cheeks are fuller than Huayangyuan, which is more like her father Mizuno Tadamasa.

"Yu Da," Huayang Yuan said, "I heard that there were a lot of ambushes on the way, and I deliberately caused some trouble. I was able to get to this place safely, thanks to the retainers. You have to keep it in mind. ”

The person in front of him was his biological mother, and Yu Da was excited for a while. Her mother was more demure and beautiful than she had imagined. This is the mother who has appeared in countless dreams! She is resentful of her mother for leaving her family and children! Now, she knows that this is a great mother who has been caught up in a tragedy and is still strong enough to survive. Yu Da wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms and cry, but she finally held back her tears and replied, "The child understands." ”

Shinhachiro Okubo let out a low groan. People who don't know the inside story still think that they are ordinary mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. In any case, if Huayangyuan and Yu Da were too close, the people of the Matsudaira clan would feel that their house had been taken away by the women, and they would not feel good in their hearts. Yu Da instinctively perceived all this.

Lily walked up to Yu Da and stayed with her closely. Mrs. Zhengjia took Yu Da's right hand and said, "Miss, please." ”

"Good. Yu Da moved the lotus step lightly, and Huayang Yuan stood far aside. Masaya and Shinhachiro were on the stairs alone, and the other was under the stairs, and when they saw this situation, they looked at each other and smiled.

"Kariya's entourage should be relieved. ”

"Yes, it's all because Okazaki has wise men. ”

On the twenty-sixth day of the first month, on the wedding day of Yamato Matsudaira Hirotada.

Mizuno Nobumoto, who tried to rob his sister halfway, lay down in the bear mansion in the state house with a depressed face. After the letter of the Yuan Dynasty, the salt industry was greatly developed, and he called himself happy and fasting. He built dozens of ships, placed lanterns all the way from the Ogawa River to the sea, and boasted that "you can't see it in the capital". At this time, he was still young and had a fragile temperament, and once he was frustrated, he was prone to self-abandonment and willfulness. His sister married to Matsudaira, and he was supposed to go to Okazaki on his father's behalf, but he refused the mission and lingered in the bear mansion all day long on the grounds that he was in a bad mood. However, he still knows everything that is happening in Okazaki Castle.

Mizuno Tadamasa had no choice but to send Nobumoto's younger brother, Fujikuro Nobu, to himself there. Shinjin was also born in Huayang Academy. Moreover, Nobumoto's sister, Yu Xian, who married Matsudaira and Shichiro Iehiro of Kawahara, also attended the wedding, and the matchmakers were Yu Xian and Sakai Masarasuke.

It is said that in Sakai Fuchu, after the official meeting at Yamato Huayang Temple, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Hearing this letter, Xin Yuan was furious: "Women who don't know the current situation, there are times when you cry!"

Before his anger subsided, he went to Yanbin to inspect and came to the bear mansion.

"It's not like you're doing it, robbing a fake. When he met Hataro in the hallway, he scolded him.

There was no expression on Hataro's delicate face, and he only replied: "I just did your order and robbed the second sedan chair." ”

Then he went away without looking back.

Nobumoto was annoyed, thinking that Hataro was mocking his negligence. He walked into Yu Guo's room and said indignantly, "Wait and see." Then he lay down with a sad face.

He was puzzled by Hataro's attitude: "He's disgusted with me and Yukoku's affairs?" It's just a matter of sneaking into the house at night, and in the daytime, he has no scruples and breaks into the state house with a big grin. He went in and out of the inner courtyard of the bear mansion as recklessly as if he were in and out of his own inner court, which cannot but be said to be a contempt for the young Hataro.

Yu Guo was not in the room at this time. "Dare to despise me! When I inherit the family business, how can I allow you to be so rude!" With that, Xinyuan supported his head with his hand and was silent. He also imagined the current situation in Okazaki Castle: Huayangin, Yu Da, and Fujikuro Nobujin must be intimate and affectionate. If the three of them meet someone from the Imagawa clan who went to Okazaki to congratulate, they will ...... Thinking of this, Xin Yuan raised his head suddenly. "Isn't there a guest in Yu Guo today?"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and sat up. At this moment, the window on the right-hand side was pushed open, and a boy of seven or eight years old, who looked very naughty, stuck his head in without hesitation: "Hey, can you help me catch that little bird?"

Hearing the child say so rudely, Xinyuan's eyes widened, and he said fiercely, "Are you asking me?"

The boy raised his slender eyebrows, "Who else is there but you?" and he continued, "Come out and see the bird!"

Xinyuan was furious, glared at the boy hard, and shouted, "I'm not your subordinate!"

"I know. Who said you were my subordinate? Ahhh He stamped his foot vigorously and exclaimed, "I don't know who your subordinate is, but you must be a useless fellow." Then he departed.

"Stop!" Nobumoto shouted.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you a guest here?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"What an ignorant little ghost. Don't you know it's rude to suddenly push someone else's window open without even saying hello?"

The young man pursed his lips and replied coldly, "No." "His demeanor resembles that of the owner of this place, Hataro, and even more arrogant than Hataro. He stared at Xin Yuan with adult-like eyes, and then said, "If I answer like this, you have nothing to say?"

Being so mercilessly mocked, Shin Yuan suddenly lost his mind. He couldn't help but pick up the knife and shouted, "Apologize to me!"

There was obviously a hint of ridicule on the young man's fair face: "I can't even catch a little bird, and I still want to cut people?" ”

"Shut up, rude stinky boy! Report your name and apologize to me!"

"No—why, you dare to kill me?"

"Muddy...... !"

"Ha, I'm angry. Interesting. ”

Xinyuan had never seen such an angry child. The child is slender and wears a children's hakama, and at first glance he is not an ordinary child, but he is so arrogant and rude...... Xin Yuan wanted to scare him, so he rushed to the window. The child flashed to the side like a butterfly, but he was not afraid at all, and he didn't even look back.

At this moment, the voice of Yuguo was heard from the forest of cypress and podocarpus trees on the other side of the spring.

"Ah, Master Kichiba-" Yu Guo ran to the young man's side and said, "Quick, everything is ready, you should go to the shrine." Nobumoto couldn't help but be taken aback: Kichiboshi - isn't he the son of Oda Nobuhide?

When Yu Guo saw Xinyuan, his face flushed, and he nodded and smiled. But Yoshiboshi seemed to have forgotten about Nobumoto's existence, turned away, and walked away without looking back.

"He's Kichibo-shiro......" Nobumoto muttered to himself. He didn't know why Nobuhide had sent Yoshi-shi here, and he was puzzled.

When Yu Guo took Master Ji's hand and came to the altar, a light rain began to fall.

Okazaki Castle may have set up a wedding banquet. Guangzhong, who has a strong dissatisfaction, and Yu Da, who is docile, combine to start a new life for the survival of the two families. The two of them were probably relatively silent at the moment, looking at the wine glass in their hands nervously, imagining the vast future.

However, at the Bear Mansion, Yoshigashi, the son of Nobuhide Oda, who was feared by two tigers, was sitting at the altar, waiting for Hataro, dressed in rich clothes, to pray to the gods. What did Nobuhide want Hataro to teach his son, and what did he want his son to understand?

After praying, Hataro still stood in front of the shrine and began to lecture on the "Orthodox Chronicle of the Divine Emperor", which was written by the Northern Sonbo of the Southern Dynasty during the war.

But the content he taught went far beyond the Orthodox Chronicles, including the history of ancient times, the rise and fall of the world, and even strategies and tactics. This is what Hataro claims to have been secretly passed down from the Southern Dynasty to the Takeuchi family, and it is a knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation in their family. However, these are far from being understood by Master Ji. He was visibly annoyed, picking his nostrils from time to time. Yoshibo's teachers, Aoyama Sanzaemon and Katsusuke Naito, pricked up their ears and listened intently to Hataro's speech, for fear of missing a single sentence.

"If you want to create a set of art of war that others can't understand, you must have a different kind of knowledge. If the knowledge and knowledge are no different from those of others, what is in the heart will be quickly recognized. "Oda Nobuhide always loves to speak amazingly and is quite complacent. Of course, Oda Nobuhide was not a man of honoring the king, but he saw that in order to replace the Ashikaga clan, who had absorbed the culture of the Ming Dynasty and led to today's troubled times, he had to adopt a new strategy. So, he asked Yoshi-shi to learn this unique knowledge. From this, it can be seen that Master Ji will be valued by his father.

This child has an abnormal nature, always acts unexpectedly, and takes pleasure in it. People told him to go to the right, and he will go to the left. People say it's white, but he means it's black. If he is not allowed to ascend, he will never go down. Don't let him destroy, he wants to break everything. If all this were summed up as a science, he would surely become a grotesque and extraordinary grandmaster. Perhaps it was out of this judgment and hope that Nobuhide sent him to the Xiong Mansion to learn the family heirloom of Xiong Ruogong.

Nobu-won didn't know Nobu-hide's thoughts. But in any case, Nobuhide, who commanded Owari and took pleasure in disturbing Mino, attacking Mikawa, and threatening Suruga, had unlimited prestige in the eyes of the younger generations. Of course, most of the reason is due to the fear of Nobuhide's elusive tactics.

Xinyuan lay down again. Hataro's voice was mixed with the sound of rain, and it reached his ears intermittently. At this time, Yu Guo quietly walked in. She had an unquenchable longing for her first man. She silently came to Xin Yuan's side, hugged his head, put it on her lap, kissed him lightly on the face, and murmured, "Xin Yuan Gongzi...... Do you know why my brother hasn't shaved his forehead?"

The letter element does not answer. He closed his mouth with a serious expression and deliberately twisted his head to the side. Seeing this, Yu Guo thought that he was annoyed that he was late, so he bent down and kissed him on the face: "Brother has never held a ceremony for himself, all for you." Did you know?"

"For me?"

"Yes, because by custom the one who serves the gods must be a woman. ”

"Oh. ”

Moreover, the goddess must serve the gods from an early age, and must not have skin-to-skin relations with men. ”

"I've also heard from Shinto Atsuta's book assistant about this. ”

"I have a skin-to-skin relationship with you, but my brother does not reproach me for this. My brother said that as long as I could be happy, he would rather keep my forehead hair on my head for the rest of my life and serve the gods on my behalf. Every time I hear that, I feel sad in my heart. ”

Xin Yuan glanced at Yu Guo lightly. "Alright, alright, alright. He said impatiently, "Soon I will marry you, stop chattering." Tell me, what's going on with today's guests?"

"You mean Master Yoshi?"

"Has Yoshi-samashi been here before?"

"Yes. This is the third time. ”

"Oh. Shin Yuan suddenly sat up and stared at Yu Guo tightly, his expression very different from usual. In the past, when he held Yu Guo rough with his strong hands, his eyes were fierce, but today, there is a ruthless ambition hidden in his eyes.

Yu Guo keenly saw this. "Ah, what a terrible look in your eyes......" she shook her head seductively.

"Yu Guo!" Xin Yuan's eyes were still burning.

"Hmm. ”

Shin Yuan desperately suppressed his excitement and said, "It's raining outside......"

"Yes. The spring rain moistens things silently, and the wild plum has spit out new buds......"

"Spring Rain...... Spring Rain ......"

Xin Yuan's voice trembled slightly, "Yu Guo, do you believe me?"

Do you still need to ask? Yu Guo thought to himself. She put her hand on Xinyuan's lap, tilted her head like a puppy, and looked at Xinyuan, pitiful. Nobu-moto also looked at her intently.

Just now, Master Kichipo's arrogant little face made waves in Nobumoto's heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Yesterday, he was still kidnapping his sister for the father of this child. But his plan failed. At this moment, another thought took over his heart, and even he himself could not believe it. It's not just Xinyuan who thinks this way, but in this dark world where benevolence and morality have been lost, everyone acts on the spur of the moment.
