Volume 1 The First Cry Chapter 52 Routines

Ninomiya father and daughter cried, Ninomiya Rice officially thanked Naohide again, Naohide felt very embarrassed, in fact, the risk or something was borne by Mr. Ninomiya Keisaku, is it just a person, sometimes there are too many concerns, and an external push is needed, I hope Ine can get out of the original life trajectory, but now Naohide's strength is not enough, otherwise there is no need for Mr. Ninomiya to be so embarrassed.

When Ninomiya Rice cried bitterly, the turban fell off, revealing long flaxen-colored hair. When playing, although she had a high nose and deep eyes, she had black hair at the time, and her life was different, Naoxiu suspected that she was Ine, but she was not sure, and when she saw the hair between red and yellow, she suddenly realized that she must have dyed her hair black at that time.

Naoxiu moved his mouth to let Mr. Ninomiya take the risk, and he was a little reluctant to go, although he was given agricultural books, pearl breeding and other techniques, but today is the day when Ninomiya Rice was officially accepted as a righteous daughter, so I always have to give some gifts. It's too rude to give money, and the general gift is not very suitable, Naohide is really sympathetic to Ine, and this sympathy also implies his dissatisfaction with the current social situation, of course, Naohide himself didn't feel this, seeing Ninomiya Ina's long flaxen-colored hair, he finally thought of a suitable gift - hair dye.

The love of beauty has never stopped, and hair dyeing has appeared at a very early age. Around 1500 B.C., the ancient Egyptians invented hair dyes to dye gray hair black, and then the ancient Romans and Greeks extracted a liquid from plants to dye their hair – at the cost of being easily poisoned. Later, they discovered a relatively safe black hair dye — fermented leeches that can dye hair black for up to 2 months — not to mention the taste.

In 300 B.C., the Roman Empire forced all prostitutes to dye their hair yellow, and the Gauls and Saxons of the same era would dye their hair in a variety of bright colors to intimidate each other on the battlefield.

Hair dyes also appeared very early in Chinese history. The first person to dye his hair officially recorded in the history books was Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty (45 BC - 23 AD), who was recorded in the Hanshu Biography of Wang Mang as "dyed his beard if he wanted to look at himself and be at ease".

There are many types of ancient dyes, but the effect is average. In addition to fermented leeches that can dye black hair, Europa also has other dyes: orange-red dye, which can be dyed orange-red with hot water extract from henna; Black dye - the hair is combed with a lead comb soaked in vinegar to make it black, or the white hair is dyed black with a mixture of mutton fat and vegetable ash juice; Light brown dye – dye your hair pale brown with walnut dye; Yellow dye - Dye your hair yellow with spring yellow ~ chrysanthemum dye. In short, as long as it is dye, the Europa people dare to put it on their hair.

In ancient China, because of hair color, all black hair dyes were developed, such as "(Artemisia alba) long hair makes black", "raw oil-stained black plum, commonly used to apply good hair", "black water stains, painted hair black", "washed with salt soup, raw sesame oil and reed ash compress" and so on. In the Song and Ming dynasties, there were more new black hair dyes.

Black hair dye was also introduced to Fusang with the Chinese medical book, but at this time, Fusang's hair dye was some "home remedies" that had been explored, not to mention the damage to the hair, and the effect was average, either too greasy or not lasting for a long time, in short, there were many problems.

Zhixiu gave Ergong Dao a recipe for He Shou Wu hair dye in later generations, He Shou Wu, Qing Dai, Bai Ji, Ginger slices and dry pine, Qing Dai and He Shou Wu can be boiled to produce a gelatinous black dye, Bai Ji is used to fix the color, ginger slices and dry pine can play a role in the care of the head, and the finished product has an aromatic taste.

Naoxiu told Ergong Rice that this recipe must be kept secret, "You can sell it in times of emergency" - the mature dye formula in later generations can really make a lot of money in this era. What Naohide didn't expect was that Ninomiya Rice had a smooth ride since then, and instead of selling He Shou Wu dye, it was Mr. Ninomiya and Naohide who later made a fortune by selling it together.

After this incident, the relationship between the two sides became closer, and Mr. Ninomiya asked Naohide to come to Uwashima again the next year anyway, and Naohide had this intention so he readily agreed.

From Uwajima to Osaka and then take a boat to Tosa Kochi, on the first day of the frost moon (November), Naohide disembarked at Kochi Port in Tosa Urado Bay. Unlike in the past, most of the celebrities who visited Naohide in various domains had "letters of introduction", but the celebrities Naohide knew had nothing to do with Tosa, and to put it bluntly, the remote place of Shikoku was not as prosperous as Kyushu Island, and no one usually paid attention to it.

Although Shimazu Saibin, the son of the Satsuma Domain, is the elder brother of Toshikashi, the new lord of Tosa, Toyoshi Yamauchi, but Naohide has not yet taken Qi Bin's path, so this time when he comes to Tosa, Naohide can only watch one step at a time.

The next day, Naohide went to Obiya Town, under Kochi Castle, to cast a name thorn at the Yoshida family's mansion, and Yoshida Toyo was now the county commissioner and happened to be away from home, so Naohide had to leave a few books and the address of the travel cage and returned disappointed.

Nowadays, samurai study tours, they can't go wherever they want, and generally it is relatively safe to go to the administrative offices of each domain, but if they go to remote places such as the countryside, one is that the law and order are not good due to the limitations of the times; The second is that the samurai of the outer domain wandered around the main domain, which was basically suspected of spying on intelligence, and then there were all kinds of troubles, and the monopoly was "dissatisfied".

Naohide had no choice but to honestly act in the castle town of Kochi Castle in Tosa Domain. It doesn't matter about Murata Eitoshi and Toranosuke and Gakujiro, although it is very interesting to follow Naohide around, the journey is also very tiring, and it is good to rest for a few days.

Finally, one day, the servants of the Yoshida family invited Naohide to meet Yoshida Toyo-sama - the Yoshida family itself is a sergeant of the Tosa Domain, and Toyo is still the county commissioner, and Tosa has only seven counties in total, so this "adult" is still worthy of the name at least in Tosa.

As soon as I saw Naohide, I was shocked, not because Yoshida Yashiki was gorgeous, but because Yoshida Toyo "committed a crime against the wind", dressed in gorgeous clothes, and I don't know how he openly violated the Tosa thrifty law and became the county commissioner.

After all, it is a remote place in the South China Sea, and although the courtyard is quite spacious and chic, it is completely incomparable with the Edo nobleman Yashiki, but Yoshida's silk is indeed more eye-catching - Yoshida Toyo is tall, with an angular face, wearing a silk coat and a crimson silk pattern outer. Naoxiu thinks he is very burnt, the Fuso calendar is in November, which is equivalent to December or January in the later generations, Fusang has clothes similar to jackets, but Dongyang doesn't wear it, doesn't he feel cold just wearing thin silk?

Before this official meeting, the name thorn delivered by Naohide only wrote the identity of the "Edo Imperial Family" - Naohide didn't dare to write the name of the director of Saga Ran Gakuliao and the professor of Uwajima Akironkan, because Yoshida Toyo is a tough person and doesn't think much about others, in case this uncle goes around and is known by the shogunate, Naohide really can't explain why he hooked up with the foreign domain as a vassal and hooked up. Thinking of this, Naoxiu also felt that he was a little flamboyant in the past, and it was better not to use these foreign vassal identities after that.

The atmosphere of this meeting is very strange, although the celebrities who visited in the past can't talk about Naoxiu's "tiger body is shocked, and the other party bows his head", but the atmosphere of the meeting is still relatively relaxed, but here in Toyo, the two students of Murata and Naohide were blocked out of the door because of their identity, and only Naohide entered the door alone, and Toyo has been putting on his face after meeting, so Naohide doesn't know what to say after saying hello.

"Books are very good, and they are of great benefit to Yu."

"That's very good." Naohide didn't know what to say, anyway, the other party said that the books he sent were very useful, and Naohide had to say "I know".

The two sides looked at each other speechlessly, this Yoshida officer and soldier Wei Yuanji is not very polite, or it may be that the status of his royal family is too low, people are not willing to talk about it, Naohide is really afraid that he will be invited out like this, and quickly said that he is going to teach at a private school in Kochi.

Yoshida Kanbei's face finally changed, "Is this guy from Edo on the other side a fool?" The name thorn said that he was a study tour, and the identity of the royal family was still there, and he went to Kochi to run a private school, and the relationship between the current samurai and his superiors did not exist. When the shogunate found out, they didn't arrest him and ordered him to apologize. Thinking so, he began to look at Naoxiu's eyes and began to look wrong.

Heng is afraid of being stunned, the person on the other side is not a good-tempered person, and Naohide is really a little afraid that Yoshida will go crazy and embarrass the scene.

Yoshida's name is in front of Motoyoshi, the name is Toyo, and Kannei is the common name of the head of the Yoshida family.

Yoshida Motoyoshi was eighteen years old when he pulled out a knife and cut down a domestic servant, and the samurai privilege in addition to the Miao character with a knife also has a "beheading" of civilians "Chopping the Imperial Exemption", that is to say, killing civilians is exempt from the crime, but the Edo Shogunate has been heichi for a long time, saying that it is "beheading the Imperial Exemption", but under normal circumstances, killing civilians for no reason and destroying the image of the samurai is easy to cause social unrest, so there must be a high-sounding statement, but the Tosa Domain asked Yoshida why he moved his hand, this one didn't say a word, because Yoshida was a "sergeant", and the Tosa Yamauchi family governance was relatively vulgar, In the end, the matter was settled.

In the future year of 1855, Yoshida Motoyoshi was the "senator" of the Tosa Yamauchi clan - the head of the Tosa Domain, and his status was equivalent to that of the chief elder of the shogunate, but during the Edo Hajj confession, because Matsushita Kabei, a relative of the feudal lord and the shogunate's bannerman, touched his head, which was a very rude act at the time, he beat Matsushita Kabei to the head and broke the blood, so he was relieved of his post and most of his family was confiscated.

Kahebei Matsushita is usually more "witty", easy to get on with a little wine, and likes to joke around. The other two shogunate banners who were related to the Tosa clan at the same table were also teased by Kabei, but the two laughed it off, and only Yoshida jumped out and beat Kabei violently.

It can't be said that Yoshida is wrong to beat people, many people are dissatisfied with Kabei's teasing, but the general way to deal with it is either to ignore it, at this time Kabei will not go too far, or he will be harsh and scolded, and Kabei will not turn his face, in short, Jiabei is a bit of a two-skinned face.

The Tosa Yamauchi family had no intimate relationship with the shogunate at the end of the Edo period, and relied on the marriage with the flag to maintain closeness, as the "political participation" of the Yamauchi family, the flag book close to the main domain was beaten and bloodshed, and it can basically be considered that Yoshida was politically immature - but there was a "court minister eighty-eight secretary column participation incident" that year, and many people in the government and the opposition opposed the shogunate's founding policy. There are too many shadows of history, and it is really difficult to distinguish.

Naohide was afraid that Yoshida would get mad, and he further explained that he had heard that Yoshida had run a private school, and he hoped to earn some money by working as a teacher in Yoshida's private school.

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and the other party didn't want to run a private school." Yoshida Kanwei is twenty-eight years old this year, although he has never left Tosa, but he is not a fool to be able to become a county commissioner who deals with civil affairs, anyway, he will not directly give Naohide travel expenses, and at the same time he is quite strange, because at this time Yoshida did not open a private school as the master of the school at all - in the future, Yoshida opened the "Shaolin Private School" after beating people and being dismissed, while studying knowledge while teaching students to accumulate power, Naohide is wrong about this, mistakenly thinking that Yoshida has opened a private school now.

Yoshida listened and muttered for a while. He doesn't care at all about whether the stranger Naohide has travel expenses or whether he can go home, but this person's vanity or self-esteem is very strong, and he is quite satisfied with Naohide sending books to the door from afar, after all, this shows that he is famous, speaking of which, Naohide is still the first foreign samurai to visit, and he also thinks that opening a private school is a good idea, at this time, a famous scholar either teaches in a feudal school or opens a private school, anyway, there is no group of disciples who feel that they are not hard to speak.

"Either open a private school", the reason why Yoshida didn't open a private school before was because he was troublesome about teaching students, and he was still relatively confident in his knowledge. After thinking about it, Yoshida was a little softer towards Naohide, and he said to Naohide, "I do have plans to open a private school recently, but I don't have the idea of recruiting teachers, if you want to teach, it's better for you to run a private school in Kochi yourself, and I'll give you a review~."

Yoshida's style is very strong, Naohide is a shogun, he subconsciously doesn't want to mess with, neither willing to send travel expenses nor recruit Naohide as a private school teacher, so as not to get into any gossip, as for Naohide to run a private school, it is estimated that he will get out of the way if he earns a pen. As for how Naohide explained to the shogunate, what was the matter with him? When asked, he also had to prevaricate, "You can't watch the shogunate go to the South China Sea and not return to Edo."

Naohide hurriedly agreed, took Yoshida's handwritten letter and left. Yoshida was still young and didn't suffer any setbacks, and was finally successfully tricked by Naohide - Yoshida felt that Naohide would return to Edo when he earned money, Naohide felt that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Yoshida was read in vain, at least "Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou" This time he didn't understand it, Naohide is preparing a group of students in the Tosa circle, at least Naohide will stay in Kochi intermittently for about two years in the future. According to Zhixiu's experience, for this kind of door-to-door delivery of books and travel expenses, either pretend to be confused and simply ignore it, or quickly cut through the mess and go directly to the feudal hall, taking the road of procedural justice, and the rest of the methods will have consequences.

It's a crime to bully honest people, and Naohide doesn't really want to pit Yoshida Toyo, of course he can't pit him, Tosa's samurai, regardless of their status, draw their swords when they are in a hurry. Yoshida's strip ~ son can help Naohide open up the situation in Tosa country, and when Naohide engages in Saga, it will be at least ten years later, according to Naoxiu's plan, it will be greatly beneficial to Yoshida's career, in short, according to the concept of Naoxiu, it should not be considered a win-win situation.
