Chapter 25: The Reward (Part II)

Regardless of the ins and outs, things always have to be dealt with when they come to hand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Immediately cheered up, took the scroll in Ah Dog's hand, and began to flip through it.

opened the cover, and the first part was the section of "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of the Daughters". Since it is the first four histories, it is naturally not a problem, so I will explain them one by one.

Surprisingly, the princess in front of her knew not a lot of Chinese characters, and one-third of the sentences in the text could be understood by herself, so that the so-called explanation work naturally became very simple.

When it comes to the section of Ban Zhao, there are seven female commandments, and the grandiose "gender discrimination" makes men from later generations a little embarrassed, but Her Royal Highness the princess has no different face.

Looking down again, it didn't take long for Yuan Kui's wife Ma Lun to come here, one of which was:

and the first ceremony, Kui asked: "The woman is just a broom, why is it too precious?" He said: "Loving relatives and love, dare not disobey fate." If you want to admire Bao Xuan and Liang Hong, the concubine should also follow the affairs of Shaojun and Meng Guang. ”

Shaojun is the first virtuous lady mentioned at the beginning of this article, and Meng Guangshi is contained in the "Biography of Yimin".

"Lord Pingshou, who is Meng Guang?" After talking about a few articles, Ah Dog's voice unconsciously improved a lot, and his demeanor was not as shy as usual, and there was a little more red tide on his face.

The allusion to such a famous case is naturally not a problem.

"Meng Guangnai is the wife of Liang Hong, a sage of the Later Han Dynasty, who has been strong and black since childhood, and has been lifting stone mortars Chinese New Year's Eve without marrying ......"

"Thirty?" The princess exclaimed, and then covered her mouth.

"Uh......" Fan Xiu pondered for a moment, "because among the townships, except for Liang Hong, there is no man worthy of virtue and talent." ”

"What about her father and brother...... Isn't there a ......?"

According to "The Biography of Yimin", Meng Guang took the initiative to express his ambition and refused to marry others, but this is different from the "national conditions" at this time, and it is difficult to explain.

So he thought for a moment and replied:

"Her father and brother, who are also well-informed and sensible men, know her conduct and aspirations, how can they force her to marry someone who is not virtuous?"

"Oh......"

The dog replied softly, lowered his head, and did not speak for a long time.

At this time, there is no doubt that he is mourning self-pity.

Fan Xiu could only sit back and watch, not knowing what to say.

Just quieted down, but a crisp girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Oh, sir, you better leave for a while."

"It's a confidential matter, I can't let you know!"

There was also a man arguing with her, his voice was low and soft, and she couldn't hear it, but it felt a little familiar.

After a few more words, the girl's voice suddenly raised a few degrees:

"Anyway, you are not allowed to go in!"

"Can't you understand people?"

……

The restless dog only reacted at this time.

"Is it Ah Chun?"

The princess quickly got up and opened the door.

Fan Xiu also stood up and followed.

In the corridor, a girl of the same age as A Dog picked up her cuffs and crossed her waist in front of the door, her clothes and hairstyle were all dressed as skilled maids, but her words and deeds could only be very arrogant.

And the man who spoke just now ...... Sasa Naruma? No wonder the sound is so familiar......

When the girl heard the sound of the door opening, she first turned back to greet Fan Xiu, and then stepped forward and put her arm around the princess's left arm.

"This guy is so annoying! Everyone said that they wouldn't let him in and disturb the princess and Lord Pingshou...... "This kind of action should not be a maid, but like the identity of a close friend in the boudoir." The princess's face was slightly red, and she was at a loss, and subconsciously glanced at Fanxiu.

Cheng Zheng's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally wandered on Fan Xiu and An's body, as if smiling rather than smiling.

"Ahem...... Xiu had no choice but to cough a few times, and then bowed to Cheng Zheng:

"Is it okay to help you come here?"

Sazo Chengzheng smiled and bowed in return.

"Please forgive me for unwarranted harassment."

The girl named Ah Chun said "oh": "So you know each other." ”

"In the lower Sasa, there is a government in the house." Chengzheng is still unfazed.

"Really? I thought it was a fake...... Even if it's my fault, you don't have to pretend it's none of your business, do you? Hypocrites are the most annoying! Ah Chun said two or three words gently, but suddenly became fierce again.

Seong-jeong was still smiling, but Jong-su had already seen in his eyes that something was wrong.

"If you are close, you will not be grandchildren, and if you are far away, you will complain, and the ancients will not deceive me." Cheng Zheng's mouth suddenly floated out of a sentence in Chinese.

(Note: Zi said: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, those who are close are not grandchildren, and those who are far away are resentful.") β€”The Analects of Yang Goods Chapter 17)

Ordinary samurai women generally don't know anything Chinese, let alone the allusions of the Analects, but what I met today is not an ordinary family......

"Except for women, most of the rest of the world are villains!" Ah Chun immediately pushed back.

"Ah Chun!" The princess was anxious and hurriedly pulled her back.

"That'...... Naturally, a tie is not counted. Ah Chun added self-righteously.

…………

Cheng Zheng was slightly surprised, and glanced sideways at Fan Xiu, who only did not hear it.

Ah Dog took a deep breath, barely squeezed out a smile, and bowed to Fan Xiu and Cheng Zheng:

"Two adults, take your leave!"

After speaking, he grabbed Ah Chun's arm and turned around and fled.

Cheng Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"I came from His Highness just now, and I brought three news by the way."

"Oh?"

"The first news, His Royal Highness has decided to hold a tea party at the beginning of spring next year, and it is Lord Murai who is responsible for the preparations."

"Tea party? I don't think I've ever had an event like this before, right? ”

"Definitely. The last time Owari held a tea party, it was held when Yamashina Yan Jiqing was on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol, and it was the Prison Hall that was in charge of the preparations at that time. ”

"I see...... It's a great event for my family, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with me, does it? ”

"His Royal Highness specially sent someone to invite the tea man and the singer master in Kyoto, which is extremely rare to see in Owari!" Sazo stared at Honshu with some surprise.

"Then I'll have to ask for advice." Fan Xiu said casually according to the other party's meaning. Although his background can be described as a scholarly family, his admiration for these elegant things is much worse than that of Chengzheng.

"In addition, the rewards for this joint battle have also been arranged."

"Is it the forty towns of Oki Village? It is not so much a reward for military exploits, but a means for His Highness to weaken Hayashi Sado. ”

"The land of these forty towns totals more than 200 kan, aren't you a little excited?"

"It's only 200 times, but I want to know and do everything in the future!" It's really hard to feel excited, so I simply blew nonsense.

"What a knowledgeable and action...... So, compared to Wanguan Zhixing, the one hundred and thirty Guan Wen you owe is not worth mentioning? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is this the third message? ”

"Just a casual remark! Although there is a new reward, today's autumn harvest has also ended, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay the loan for the time being. ”

"The one hundred and thirty runs...... How many creditors are there? ”

"Twenty-seven! Anyway, it's been a year of delay, and it doesn't matter if it's delayed for another year. ”

Fan Xiu was silent for a moment.

"I'm sorry......"

"The third news is that I met your two retainers on the road, that is, the Hattori brothers, and they are also very worried about your injury, but they can't enter the backyard of Qingzhou City - by the way, this time there are two hundred more Zhixing, and the retainers' fortune should also increase?"

"It's natural."

…………

In the following days, it is still a continuation of recuperation, the dog princess will come once every three days, Ning Ning still decoctions every day, and occasionally meet Mrs. Guidie when she goes out.

I recuperated for more than two months, and after recovering, I said goodbye and moved out. Murai Sadakatsu also officially handed over the security form of Okimura Shicho to Honhide. Speaking of Masuda Hitoemon, Murai replied, "If he can keep busy a little, let's stay!" ”

Fan Xiu thanked him.

At this time, it is winter, and there is nothing to do in the collar, so there is nothing to do for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival, the first tea party under Nobunaga's rule was held here.
