"Your Highness, you have worked hard for a year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Ah Dog took his wife and concubines and children, lined up in three rows in the courtyard, and knelt down to greet the tie with him, his posture and tone were perfect, as if he was raising his eyebrows, from the perspective of etiquette, there was no place to find fault with him.

The cold winter has passed, the early spring is not far away, the ice and snow are gradually melting, the grass and trees are succumbing, and when the cool breeze blows from the ground, it is no longer so stinging on the cheeks, but calls out a few small but implied green patches.

But Pingshou Fanxiu stood at the gate of the courtyard, but he shivered unconsciously and subconsciously tightened the clothes on his body.

The layout of Gifu Castle is roughly divided into three floors from top to bottom, and the Honmaru at the top of the mountain spire was used by Nobunaga's own family. Then the members of the Oda family, who had reached adulthood but had not been divided, were placed in Ninomaru on the mountainside, and each was assigned a house. After the transfer of the seal, the family moved from Tsukake Castle to Gifu Castle, and was granted permission to live next to each other.

When he returned from and went all the way up the mountain, a guard had already reported the news, and when he returned home, he received a grand reception.

But it was the serious etiquette that made him a little uneasy.

After all, Ah Dog is just the daughter of the family of the "unruly farmhouse daimyo", not the princess or the queen of the famous family, but he has never sat so upright and meticulous before.

Mrs. Masamuro is like this, and the others are naturally trembling and trembling, and they dare not cross the slightest. Zygoko and Ning Ning stood behind the side of the dog and showed a tendency to wrestle their horns, and the always naughty Xue Chiyo bowed his head deeply and lay down, motionless, only his sister-in-law Yan Chiyomaru, with his identity, was relatively calm, and secretly glanced at his father under the cover of his position.

Fan Xiu immediately received the information clearly. In other words, in fact, without the hint of his son, he should have realized what the problem was.

But it's embarrassing to realize that you can't stand at the door and explain the problem. Besides, where is the majesty of the head of the house?

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

He raised his fist to cover his mouth, gesturing to clear his throat and adjust the atmosphere by the way, but for a moment he couldn't think of how to make an opening statement. The temperament of a diplomat between Ashikaga, Tokugawa, and Asai is unknown.

Judging from the objective time records, the tie was silent for about ten seconds. But these ten seconds, in subjective feelings, seem to be centuries long.

"It's a nice day...... All of you in the family, are you all right? In the end, he only held back such an unnutritious sentence.

"Back to Your Highness, everything is fine, you don't have to worry about it, the concubine will definitely fulfill her responsibilities, so that you don't have to worry about it." Ah Dog bowed his head and answered, his voice was soft and pleasant, but no matter how he listened to it, there was a taste of resentment.

"Uh-huh, what's going on with the kids? Looks like you've grown a little taller again! ”

"Thanks to my father's concern, everything is going well for Xue Chiyo." The daughter shrunk her head and smiled slightly, as if she was a little afraid of the dog.

"Plums? Eat rice cakes! "Yakshamaru is only two and a half years old, and it is obviously superfluous to ask him. This kid seems to have understood Honhide's words as food.

"Father, the child has no other problems. It's just that the teachers said that you should not study hard, but learn more about current affairs, and I would like to ask you a few questions. ”

Seven-year-old Yan Chiyomaru pulled up a topic to relieve his father. Then he got up, made a greeting gesture, and walked into the courtyard.

When the tie was overjoyed, he couldn't help but praise left and right:

"Yan Chiyomaru, this kid, it's not bad."

What he wanted to say in his heart was that it was not only good, but he was also a prodigy with early wisdom. But as a parent in the context of oriental culture, there is no way to use too straightforward adjectives, and a sentence of "good" is the highest evaluation that Chiyomaru has given since his father was born.

When the words landed, I saw that the background of Yan Chiyomaru paused for a moment, and only continued to walk after a while, as if he was very touched.

Speaking of his son, the deliberately pretended "physique" on Ah Dog's face couldn't help but dissipate a little bit, replaced by a few heartfelt smiles: "It's all the credit of the teachers, I must thank Master Tora and Mr. Takenaka." ”

"That's nature." Fan Xiu took over the conversation and said flutteringly, "I don't dare to be proud of my ability to do things; But there are few people in the world who can match my ability to know people. ”

Laughing at this, it was no longer possible for Ah Dog to maintain the appearance of raising her eyebrows, she sighed helplessly, and complained: "Your Highness, you are always so powerful!" ”

The words contain a long-lost girlish squeamish taste.

Laughing without saying a word, Hiratsu strode forward, followed the path led by his son, crossed the courtyard, stepped into the entrance, took off his saber and black hat, took off his coat and shoes, changed into a loose yukata, and went into the hearth.

Then, Mrs. Masamuro and her family sat down in order, and instructed the people to bring tea and snacks, including the plums and rice cakes that Yakshamaru had just mentioned.

"Anyway, it's been ...... for the past few months"

After sitting down, taking advantage of Chiyomaru's studies, Honxiu began to inquire about family matters, and also shared some of the insights from the front line with his family.

While speaking, thinking about it carefully, the resentment on Ah Dog's body can also be understood, after all, it is true that there is less gathering and more separation, and every time he goes home, he brings a woman...... But on the other hand, her aura has indeed changed greatly, and she can occasionally show a strong posture at home, although it doesn't last long.

She seems to have a good relationship with Zygote and Ning Ning, but this is mostly due to the "common hatred and hatred". Some of the insignificant contradictions and differences of the past are completely gone.

At this age, Yukichiyo doesn't look much different except for the increase in height. It's just that I don't know if I'm really slowly quiet, or I'm still pretending to be a lady.

The changes in the Yaksha Pill are very large. Leaving home last year, the little doll has just learned to walk independently, and now he is more than two years old, he can already run and jump, he can't sit still for a moment, and he is venting his excess energy all the time, even if he stays by the fireside, he is rolling all over the ground, and his eyes are constantly looking around.

According to the biological mother and son: "He is far less intelligent than his brother, he doesn't speak much, but he eats a lot." ”

Fanxiu also thinks that there is nothing wrong with this, and the healthy growth is also very good, do they all require geniuses?

But the most intriguing thing is Chiyomaru.

Once Hu Zai Zongyi's evaluation of this child was "There is nothing wrong with his actions, but he also has no precocious appearance, which can be described as a middle-class talent." Of course, this is in response to the requirements of our time. The son-in-law of the famous family began to learn to deal with political affairs at the age of eleven or twelve, and there was no carefree childhood to speak of. If you look at it from the perspective of future generations, it would be very good if the dolls in the lower grades of elementary school did not cry or make trouble.

But today, in addition to being as steady as ever, he is much more sensitive and decisive, and his reaction has become very fast.

In the past, when I asked him a sentence, I always had to repeat it twice to get a conservative answer. At present, I can do the right answers.

Of course, Tieshou Fan Xiu is happy to see this, but he is also a little puzzled, why did this child suddenly open up?

Puzzled, Fan Xiu still pressed the question, briefly told his family about the changes in the situation in, and deliberately used relatively shallow language so that Chiyomaru could understand it. Of course, the dark side is omitted.

Finally, it was officially notified: "I guess you have also heard the rumors, this time I came back, and I am going to take the whole family to move to Hetian Castle on the shore of Izumi Province." Everyone hurriedly packed up and set off soon. ”

Then he didn't speak, and let the lady of the main room, Ah Dog, do the decoration, and he went back to the bedroom to rest for a while.

After all, he was also running around for a while, and he quickly fell asleep and slept for two or three hours.

By this time, it was getting dark.

In the middle of a dream, he felt the warmth and softness between his fingers, and then opened his eyes slightly, and saw a dog kneeling quietly beside him, holding Fanxiu's right hand and putting it on his chest, looking up with his eyes blankly, his face a little gloomy.

She didn't seem to notice that her husband had woken up and was still muttering to himself.

Fan Xiu missed the preface and only heard the afterword.

“…… Everyone also knows that even so, your important position as the guardian of a country is a matter of course. It's just that some people say that you have been busy for a long time for the affairs of the Asai clan and have taken unrelated risks, all for the sake of the young lady of the Akawei family, which makes the concubine feel sad...... It's really good enough to do that for her...... And it's not appropriate to affect business for this...... The concubine doesn't think that her appearance will be worse than hers, or you feel that you lack the taste of piano and chords, I can also learn slowly......"

Hearing this, Fan Xiu couldn't help but roll over and get up.

"Well, ma'am, this matter needs to be explained......

"Eh, are you awake, Your Highness? Isn't that ...... I hear you! Woo woo woo ......" Ah Dog was stunned for a moment, then held his face with both hands, buried his head deep in the ground, and let out a weak cry like a small animal.

"Ah, actually, I just woke up, and I didn't hear much."

"Wow...... Even though you woke up and pretended to be asleep, Your Highness, are you a little too cunning......" She continued to put her face against the floor, covering her head and refusing to get up.

"Ahem, what ...... then" Fan Xiu thought about the situation for a while, hesitated again and again but changed his serious tone, and said, "Actually, the matter of the Asai family is completely out of consideration for the overall situation. ”

“…… Well, I knew it had to be like this......" came from the delicate voice on the floor, and there was a clear chill of distrust in it.

"That's entirely true." Honhide made a solemn look, "Actually, before I made a move, Asai and Oda already had some disputes in Omi ......"

It took a lot of effort to analyze the "dark side" information that had just been unspoken in front of the children and the side rooms, and also explained in detail how subtle and ambiguous the relationship between Oda and the shogunate was, and where Asai was in it.

In fact, the samurai family of this era was generally required to have a certain political acumen. It's just that Pingshou Fanxiu has always cared for his family, and even overcared for him.

The final words were, "You don't want us to meet with Ichihime's husband!" This deeply touched Ah Dog, and made her get up from the posture of "holding her head and squatting" with shame.

"I see, I really misunderstood my husband." When she spoke, she still had tears in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, but from the title of "Your Highness" to "husband", Fan Xiu realized that the mustard in her heart was almost gone.

"Now you've figured it out! By the way, my analysis just now, don't publicize it outside for the time being, and don't mention it to the children first. ”

"Yes." Ah Dog nodded hurriedly, hung his head, shrunk his shoulders, and his voice was a little timid, "Today's ...... I don't know how to apologize to you......"

"You don't have to apologize." Fan Xiu waved his hand generously, but then became serious again, adding, "But if you dare to be disrespectful to your husband, you also need to be punished." ”

"Ah...... Discipline ......"

"Humph......"

Hisho let out a sinister sneer and stretched out his sinful hands.

"Didn't someone just say, 'Even if you don't have the interest in piano and chords, you can learn it slowly?'" Without further ado! ”

……

At this critical moment, suddenly out of nowhere, a crab in the river jumped out, and the rest of the matter was unspeakable.
