As the days passed, the maple leaves drifted away day by day, but there was simply a lot of strength, and the red leaves that were folded every day were growing at a considerable rate, piling up in a large warehouse in the village. Each autumn leaf has a small silk thread at the end of the leaf, which is used to fix it to the tree at that time.

But Yu Qiuping himself, the time to fold the red leaves is getting shorter and shorter, because Sena Shijun is really overwhelmed, and every time he and Yu Qiuping attend a waka meeting, they will stay up late together to deal with income and expenditure accounts. Yu Qiuping was supposed to train in the morning, and he had to go out to find a girl in the afternoon, so I'm sorry for Sena Shijun, so I'm also very hard.

On the afternoon of August 24, Yu Qiuping and the girl were still practicing archery in the maple forest. Now that Yu Qiuping has confidence, he is no longer preoccupied, and his hit rate is significantly higher. It was almost dusk, and the girl and Yu Qiuping packed up and prepared to leave.

"By the way, I'm going to tell you something." The girl suddenly spoke, "I may not be able to come every day, there is something wrong. ”

"What's the matter?" Yu Qiuping asked casually.

The girl frowned, "It's a private matter, don't ask Pingjun." ”

"Okay." Yu Qiuping said a little sullenly.

"Are you complaining in your heart, why didn't I do what I said?" The girl suddenly jumped in front of Yu Qiuping, put her hands behind her back in front of him, and walked backwards with a smile, which was particularly cute, "The maple leaf hasn't fallen yet, why didn't you come?" ”

"Na, in order to make amends for your sins, show Pingjun a super exquisite red leaf pendant I bought a few days ago, I have always worn it on my body, and I am reluctant to show it to others, Pingjun is the first person." The girl groped around her neck with a sly smile and lifted the pendant from her plump chest.

Yu Qiuping was stunned all of a sudden.

That's... He was... When it falls... Heirloom.

"Hey? Pingjun, what's wrong with you. Do you like to be silly? The girl laughed out loud when she saw the confused expression on Yu Qiuping's face, but Yu Qiuping was still stunned in place, looking at the pendant motionlessly.

I didn't expect to see it again in my lifetime.

The joy of reunion, and some unbelievable doubts.

There is also a feeling for fate. It turns out that since then, it has been because of the autumn leaves?

After a long time, he trembled a little and said, "Miss... Did you buy this at a pawnshop in the city not long ago? ”

"Uh-huh." The girl nodded, and suddenly reacted to something, "You... How do you know? ”

"Do you remember what I told my young lady about the love token that my father gave to my mother, and the heirloom that I later gave me?" Yu Qiuping, who received a positive reply from the girl, made up her mind, "This is it... I had left it behind and went to treat a friend of mine. ”

"Huh?" The girl exclaimed, "What kind of illness does Pingjun's friend have?" So much money! ”

"Eye disease. It takes a full 50 times. Yu Qiuping recalled the tragic condition of Qin Bingwei's eyes at that time, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

"50 runs?" The girl's tone was full of surprise.

"yes, who would have thought it would be so expensive." Yu Qiuping sighed, otherwise he wouldn't have been a family heirloom.

"No, Ping-kun, that's not what I meant." The girl shook her head, "Is this really your pendant?" ”

"That's right!" Yu Qiuping leaned closer, didn't notice the girl's suddenly red face, took the pendant, and looked at it carefully, "Turned into ashes, I recognize it!" I've been wearing it since I was a child. ”

"Do you know how much money I spent?" The girl smiled bitterly, "2000." ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't hear the girl's words clearly, sure enough, my Japanese listening is still not good?

"How much?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"2000." The girl looked at Yu Qiuping's surprised expression and laughed out loud.

"I'll go!" Yu Qiuping, who suddenly realized, jumped to his feet in anger, "Black-hearted boss! I'll go! Be shameless! ”

"Miss! I'm going to find that boss! Depend on! Is there any such operation? "The rain and autumn flats that were pit all at once in 1950 jumped like thunder.

"Pingjun, it's a pity, that pawnshop has closed its doors and moved away." The girl spread her hands helplessly, "I was still curious at the time, why he moved away not long after he finished selling my things." ”

Only Yu Qiuping was left alone in the wind.

"That miss..."After hesitating for a moment, Yu Qiuping still struggled to speak, "Can I put this pendant... Buy it back! It's really important to me. It's the only thing my parents left me. ”

"Yes," the girl suddenly smiled evilly, and stretched out her jade hands, "2000." ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned again.

"The annual income in my territory, the tax I can collect, is about 600 yuan," Yu Qiuping muttered silently, "My annual income is 250 yuan." I don't need to give it for the time being, I just need to be full. But Amano Keitori and his seven ashigaru generals have an extra 50 kan a year, and I can still have a balance of 500 kan. ”

"Save it for four years!" Yu Qiuping stared blankly at the girl, who was smiling as if she had succeeded in her mischief.

"Okay, look at Miss Ben's mood. The mood will be returned to you. The girl stood on tiptoe and poked Yu Qiuping's forehead with her index finger and middle finger, which was considered revenge, in fact, she had already made up her mind to return it to him, but she still wanted to rely on it for a few days and have a good time enjoying this pendant, after all, she really liked this red leaf pendant, so she would spend 2000 yuan to buy it directly.

After dinner in the evening, the pro-soldier guard took the two hundred feet and ran back. When Yu Qiupei was about to go back to the office to fight with Sena Shijun again, he saw Asahina Taiheng walking into the second floor of the castle tower with a proud step.

"I'm looking for that kid from Yu Qiuping!" Asahina Taehyung said to one of the guards, "Call that kid out to me." ”

"Are you looking for Lord Yuqiu, I'm going to report it here." The guard nodded, and walked towards the third floor.

"No, big brother, I just happened to be here." Yu Qiuping beckoned and walked down the stairs. "What's the matter with my eldest brother?"

"You kid, are you free tomorrow?" Asahina Taehyung patted Yu Qiuhei's shoulder, "Let's go out with my brother tomorrow!" ”

"It's just free," Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "I'm free every afternoon." ”

"Afternoon, just afternoon!" Asahina Taehyung said in a loud voice, "Let's go out for a day and leave in the morning!" Come back in the evening. ”

"Virtuous nephew." Suddenly, there was a weak sound from the fourth floor of the castle tower. Sena Jun poked his head out upstairs and looked at Asahina Taehyung with a mournful gaze, "Nephew, are you going to take my right-hand man?" ”

"This..."Asahina Taehyung was suddenly taken aback by Sena's haggard face and deep dark circles, "Uncle Sena, why haven't you been like this for a few days?" ”

Sena looked at Asahina Taehyung, sighed, and said nothing.

"Uncle, can I still take this kid away?" Asahina Taehyung asked cautiously.

"It's okay to take it away, you can call Fujita-sama for me, he is also a good hand at settling accounts." Sena Shijun compromised.

"No problem, I'll shoot my uncle for you in the evening!" Asahina Taehyung patted his chest and promised, "Boy, wait for me at the door of Asahina's mansion tomorrow morning!" ”

Early the next morning, Yu Qiuping waited early at the door of the Asahina family's mansion. At seven o'clock, Asahina Taehyung packed up and came out alone.

"Big brother, why are you so early? Aren't you usually late? Yu Qiuping was shocked when he saw that Asahina Taehyung actually arrived on time.

"You think I want to be the person I hang out with today and I can't afford to mess with it." Asahina Taehyung said fearfully, "It's better to be honest." ”

"Oh? Who is it? Imagawa young son? "Yu Qiuping thought about it, and if he has time to play and can still shock Asahina Taehyung, it is estimated that only the Imagawa clan is true.

"No, no, it's scarier than that." When he spoke to Hinay Taehyung, it was as if he was recalling some terrible experience. "It's the princess of our family governor!"

"Your Highness the Princess?" Yu Qiuping was also taken aback, "Then big brother, what are you taking me out for!" Why didn't you say it earlier! ”

"I said it earlier, your kid definitely won't come." Asahina Taehyung spread his hands with a natural expression, "But without you, I'm going to be embarrassed again this time." ”

"What do you mean, big brother? What's the routine? Yu Qiuping was confused.

"Oh, it's Her Royal Highness the princess, ask me and the little eyes of the Okabe family to go on an outing together. I have made an appointment once before, in order to mediate the conflict between us, and it seems that it was instructed by the Governor's Palace. Asahina Taehyung said, "Everyone should bring only one attendant, don't be too loud." ”

"But, the last time I went, the princess offered to come with us and sing, which I can't play! My entourage, that is, hunting and hunting better, doesn't understand these things at all! As a result, he was ridiculed by the small eyes of the Okabe family, and his body was incomplete, and he showed his face in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess! I'm mad when I look at that kid's nymphomaniac! He shook his fist at Hina, "Aren't you kid able to sing songs?" I'll take you with me this time, and you give me a good look at the little eyes of the Okabe family! ”

"Big brother... That's not kind. Yu Qiuping had a feeling of being sold, "I've only been learning to sing for more than two months." ”

"But don't you go to waka every night with the Governor of the Imperial Palace, Uncle Sena, and Brother Goro? It should be at a good level! Asahina Taehyung also panicked all of a sudden, "Don't go wrong with you kid!" Otherwise, I'll be disgraced again! ”

"I guess I can only say one thing as much as possible." Yu Qiuping sighed.

The place for the outing seems to be a small forest on the edge of a beach in the south of Sunpu Castle. When Asahina Taehyung and Akihei Akihei arrived on horseback, Masatsuna Okabe was already waiting there with his horse. He also seems to have a "civilized-type" retinue with him, which is completely different from the temperament of the "wild boar-type" retinue they carry during street fights.

"Yo? Thick eyebrows, slower than me! Litter. Okabe Masatsuna unceremoniously met and provoked a firefight.

"Little eyes, look at your dark circles!" Asahina Taehyung sneered, "Didn't you sleep all night at the thought of seeing the princess tomorrow haha!" No wonder it arrived early! ”

"Fuck you! Get lost! Okabe Masatsuna scolded, "Her Royal Highness the princess is something you can discuss!" ”

"That one over there, is that the bastard from last time?" Okabe Masatsuna glanced at Yu Qiuping, "I heard that he also bumped into the big luck in Sanhe and sealed a general?" ”

"My lord Mingjian," Yu Qiuping arched his hand, "I seized the opportunity to eat Oda Nobunaga's conscience and made a great contribution." But if you pull your conscience out, you really can't digest it, don't blame it. ”

Asahina Taehyung was amused at once, and even the entourage of Okabe Masatsuna couldn't help laughing, so he was glared at fiercely by Okabe Masatsuna.

"You bitch! took those more than 200 sluts to defend a broken city, and was given a horse seal by the governor? Okabe Masatsuna scolded jealously, "I really don't know why! ”

Yu Qiuping himself was scolded as a bitch to the point that it didn't matter, but as soon as he heard that Okabe Masatsuna actually said that his more than 200 loyal and kind subordinates were sluts, his anger suddenly rose, and he immediately tightened his eyebrows, and righteously imitated the tone of the Red Guards in later generations and said: "How can Lord Okabe be so disrespectful to the Governor's Palace!" Actually questioned the decision of the Governor's Palace! My lord, if you are so disrespectful to the horse seal given by His Royal Highness, you are disrespecting the Imperial Palace! Regard the palace of the governor as a mustard! Your doubts about the decision of the Governor's Palace and your doubts about the subordinates will be reported to the Governor in the next place! If the governor really thinks that I am not worthy of this horse seal, I am willing to take it back. It's just that it might cause trouble for the Okabe family, don't blame it. ”

After a series of online appearances, Okabe Masatsuna was choked up and speechless, and the entourage next to him immediately apologized again and again, clarifying that their young master did not mean this.

"Boy! Yes! Asahina Taehyung proudly patted Yu Qiuhei's shoulder, "What kind of scolding will there be in the future!" It's up to you! Yu Qiuping smiled secretly in his heart, compared to the upper platform, you Japanese are still too far behind us.

"Thick eyebrows! You..."Okabe Masatsuna was so angry that he couldn't do it, and his hand pointing at Asahina Taiheng kept shaking.

"What's the matter, little eye! If you want to fight, you can't do it! There's no sheriff here, no one is here to save you! Asahina Taehyung crossed his waist and scolded without showing weakness, "Come on, come on! ”

Just as the shoulders of both sides were tense, the crisp sound of horses' hooves came from a distance. The four of them turned back one after another, only to see a pair of master and servant coming on horseback. The owner must have been the princess of the Imagawa family, and she wore a blue sleeved enwaria and white breeches, and her waist-length hair was tied at the ends.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." The princess turned over and dismounted when she got closer, and nodded to Asahina Taihyung and Okabe Masatsuna as an apology. Yu Qiuping, but could no longer take his eyes off her.

Until the princess, her eyes wandered, and she accidentally saw Asahina Taehyung's entourage, and she immediately froze in place.

How are you.

Miss.

Pingjun.
