Chapter 31 Returning to the Heart Like an Arrow

It was still morning when I returned to the city, but it was a long time in the afternoon that Hirate Hirate finally had a chance to close the door on Honmaru and take a good look at his family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe feeling of not being able to see your family for nearly a year is not good, and it is the first time that you have experienced it in two lifetimes combined. Even people who like to be quiet and enjoy solitude will inevitably have some times when they miss their relatives. But when I really wanted to come back, I suddenly had a subtle feeling of homesickness.

How are they doing all these times? Are the kids okay? If you haven't seen your father for a long time, you won't be naughty, right?

The city is not big, and it is only fifty meters from the conference hall to the bedroom, but there are still several rounds of thoughts along the way.

The door to Honmaru is open. Mrs. Masamuro led her family and more than a dozen servants to kneel in front of the palace and salute the head of the family who had returned home.

"Your Excellency, welcome back!"

It's still a familiar voice.

It's just that why didn't I find it so beautiful before?

It's really like a fairy music.

Pingshou Fan Xiu smiled, took a few steps forward, squatted down, and took a son and a daughter kneeling on the ground into his arms with both hands.

Well, Yan Chiyomaru, who was cultivated as the heir of his son-in-law, is still very calm, and his body seems to be a little stronger, and it seems that he usually practices some bow and horse kendo. It seems that you have a little more courage? In the past, he didn't dare to look at his father, but his appearance and figure were quite his own style back then...... If you count it, you're almost six years old, and I don't know how much he can understand the things of the Takenaka Hanbei and the Tiger Ya Sect? In this era, there are no systematic teaching materials for young children.

Xue Chiyo seems to have changed her temperament drastically, not as arrogant and unscrupulous as before, but a little bit like everyone should be. Could it be that her father, who was used to her, was not there, and began to be strictly disciplined? Speaking of which, the family style of the flat door is indeed more rigorous, and the requirements for daughters are no less than those of men. It's just that Fanxiu is reluctant to let the child be too restrained too early. There is no way for the heir, why bother with a concubine? Anyway, my father's martial arts are not declining, and he will not be wronged if he marries there. Unless it's a non-mainstream son-in-law with an unstable IQ like Tokugawa Nobuyasu, but will I give my daughter to such a superb person?

When holding the two boys left and right, Fan Xiu didn't forget to tease the Yaksha Pill in the arms of the zygote. This kid was not yet a year old when he left, and now he hasn't seen him for more than half a year, so naturally he won't have too deep a memory. Under the urging and guidance of a circle of people around her, the little doll finally called her father in a vague voice, and then turned her head to her mother's shoulder, looking like she was ready to talk to Zhou Gong. The flat hand still didn't give up and grabbed him and kept harassing him, and the end result was just for the little guy to draw a map on his clothes......

This caused a little panic, and it was not because of the cerebellar or nervous system that the boy was just too sleepy to be convinced that the city had been preparing for work, and that he hadn't slept well all night, and that it wasn't any cerebellar or nervous system disease.

After some commotion, he finally sat down, changed his clothes, took a sip of the tea served by the maids, and casually asked about the situation at home. It doesn't have any practical significance, but this procedure is a necessary process for satisfying human emotions.

The dog has now fully grown into a woman. After this year of independence, she has become more and more mature, dignified and generous, and she has gradually drifted away from the youthful appearance when she got married. Looking at the way she commanded her when she ordered her servants, she probably didn't need to worry too much about her character as the lady of the samurai family.

The zygote of the children seemed to have softened a lot, staring at the children all the time, and occasionally smiling sweetly at the flat hand, and the rest seemed to be no longer cared about. Is this really a person from the strong woman who ran a liquor house as a weak woman and even insisted on following her to the city?

The environment can really change people...... Thankfully, it's all positive changes. Pingshou Fanxiu felt very comforted, and when he was thinking like this, he suddenly saw a trace of worry hidden in Ning Ning's smile between his eyebrows.

This look is very inconspicuous, if it weren't for the fact that he had been dealing with those famous ministers in Kyoto all day long, he would probably have ignored it.

It's just that now I find that my heart is a little tight.

There are now more than a dozen maids in the city, all of whom were sent by the nearby lower-level warriors or the village head servants, and their appearance is naturally not too bad, but the city lord's widow is not very serious, and he has always only pampered one wife and two concubines. Now the zygote has a son and a daughter, and the dog who is not in good shape has also given birth to an heir of the lineage, but although Ning Ning has been in the house for a long time, there has been no movement. Maybe this girl's physique is not very suitable for being a mother!

In the future, I may have to find an opportunity to collect some righteous sons back......

Fan Xiu suddenly thought of this thought. The flat-handed family is not very prosperous, but the power is constantly expanding, and it is necessary to accept some low-born or out-of-town children as moths to strengthen the branches. It's just right for Ning Ning to enjoy the joy of family.

But before that, I'm still trying to solve the problem by myself, and don't bother the children outside.

The seven-foot man does what he says, so let's start working hard tonight! But after not coming back for such a long time, it is better to go to the lady of the main room first, right? Doesn't that look pitiful...... Well, three people always need a bowl of water to be even, and even if they are tired and have a sore back, they will not hesitate to do so. After all, it's the responsibility of the head of the family!

In an instant, she had already made excuses for the absurdity of the night, and then she was at ease, so the daytime suddenly became difficult.

Simply...... Now that you're done, why don't you go back to your bedroom sooner? There are only a few days left in the good days, and it will not be long before preparations for the dispatch of troops will begin, and in addition, Tagugoshi Sanshiro must communicate in advance, and going to Izumi is also a rare opportunity in business, so it needs to be arranged well. Gifu Castle also has to make a trip......

However, the next sentence in his ears made him forget all his plans for the time being.

"By the way, last month, Mrs. Aharu of the Sasa family proposed to Yukichiyo on behalf of her son! It seems that the eldest brother (Nobunaga) has no objection there......" Ah Dog seemed to mention it casually, and there was no difference on the faces of Zyko and Ning Ning, and it seemed that they had already known it.

But Fanxiu's face exploded like a pot and jumped up from the tatami mat.

"What, propose?! She's not even eight years old! ”

"It's just a matter of deciding on family affairs, and then officially ......handle it when you become an adult," Ah Dog was a little surprised by this reaction, and his tone began to become hesitant, "Maybe the lady is in a hurry, or else she will ......"

"It's just ......" Fan Xiu sat down again with a smile, reached out and grabbed the folding fan on the side and shook it vigorously, not knowing what to say.

Well, according to the rules of this world, the children of the martial arts family can be considered late when they marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and it is reasonable to start thinking about marriage at the age of seven or eight, but the values passed down from later generations are difficult to accept in any case. The current human development may be earlier, but after all, there is no law of detachment, and too early marriage and childbirth will greatly increase the probability of dystocia.

For a while, Fan Xiu didn't even hear which family the other party was, but his attitude just now caused some misunderstandings among the audience......

At this time, the zygote's eyes have begun to be full of worry, although according to her identity, she has little say and interests in this matter, but how can she not be anxious when it comes to flesh and blood? Ning Ning, who should have stayed out of the matter, also seemed to be very concerned, it seemed that she had a good relationship with the zygote? Ah Inu just looked puzzled, and didn't understand why Honhide reacted so seriously, as Nobunaga's sister, she naturally had some sources, and she knew very clearly that the political stance of the Hirate family had not changed much.

Looking at Chiyo Yuki, who was looking for cracks with red ears and red ears, and Chiyomaru who was struggling to hold back a smile, Hoshu suddenly calmed down. It is enough to grasp the details of the operation of this kind of thing, and it is not difficult to delay it until the age of fifteen and then send it out of the cabinet, and there is no need to expose bad emotions in front of the family.

So he breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"What kind of family is the other party? What is the attitude of Gifu Castle? ”

This is the normal way of communication in this environment.

But Ah Dog was stunned by this normal way of communication. Haven't you just said that? It turns out that my husband didn't hear anything clearly!

Of course, in this room, the head of the house has the highest immunity, and no one can find fault with him. So she repeated it again:

"It's Mrs. Achun of the Sasa family, and I hope that Matsuchiyomaru and Yukichiyo will marry, and the wedding will be held after the Yuan suit. Gifu Castle, I didn't say it wouldn't work. ”

"Sasa's family......"

Sasa Narumasa's son, Murai Sadakatsu's grandson, is a little taller than the concubine of the Hiteite family in terms of identity. However, Fan Xiu has always attached great importance to this eldest daughter, and she is almost treated as a concubine, so it makes sense. Since Ah Chun opened her mouth, she must have asked her father before, and Murai Sadakatsu's opinion often represents Oda Nobunaga's opinion. All in all, politically there is nothing wrong with this marriage, but—

"First of all, let's see what kind of character Chiyomaru Sasamatsu is."

The calm flat made this judgment, and the implication is that if people have no problems, they can agree with this family business. After all, Yukichiyo always has to marry a samurai family, and the Sasa family, who knows the roots, is a relatively good choice.

As for the views of the parties themselves...... Fan Xiu thought that she would have to take the time to ask her daughter about her own wishes later, but there was no need to say this kind of thing publicly.

"There's another thing...... "Ah Dog suddenly hesitated, and secretly grabbed the hands of the two sisters, as if looking for courage.

"Oh? There can't be any other family proposals, right? ”

"Not really." As if he was a little dissatisfied with Tsunoxiu's teasing attitude, Ah Dog frowned slightly, and asked with a straight face, "May I ask my husband, what should I do with the two girls I brought back from Kyoto?" ”

Kyoto? Two girls?

Fan Xiu was stunned for a moment.

Oops, I almost forgot, this is the "sincerity" sent by Ise Sadako. They are all the daughters of low-level samurai under the shogunate, specially selected by the other party, with a docile temperament and a thoughtful appearance. Although Fanxiu thinks that there is no disease of the widow, but it involves the friendship between the two parties, it is difficult to refuse, so he can only laugh and accept. I'm just in a hurry to get home, because I haven't received it yet.

When they arrived in the city, they went straight to deal with the business, and they seemed to have found a servant woman and ordered them to take them to the inner house?

said that these two girls were not favored all the way, and they were quite uneasy. Then she was thrown directly into the city to see the lady of the main room - and Nobunaga's sister! He was trembling, and he had been kneeling in the bedroom for most of the day, his forehead pressed against the floor, and he didn't dare to get up for a moment.

Fan Xiu could only let them settle down first, and then explained:

"These two...... She was the daughter of a samurai of the Ashikaga family. That's why I had to fight for the shogunate and Izumi country. ”

"I see!" As soon as it came to business, a little jealousy on Ah Dog's face just now immediately disappeared, and he actively persuaded him: "Please forgive the concubine for being troublesome." Since it's time to get involved, you'll put it away tonight! ”

"Hmm......" Honxiu nodded reservedly.

Suddenly, I thought about it, didn't Fang Cai have already decided, tonight to let one wife and two concubines be wet with rain and dew? There are two more of these, so isn't it one against five?

Three can still do it, and five will be ......

Alas, as the head of the family, I always have to avoid such hardships!
