Chapter 51: Origami

Yu Qiuping's work was still arranged in Junfu. Together with Sena Shitoshi, he was in charge of clearing the Imagawa family's income and expenditure accounts, as well as some daily expenses.

As soon as noon, Yu Qiuping rushed back to Junfu City. When Yu Qiuping saw that Imagawa Yoshimoto's attendants had moved the piles of files to Yu Qiuping and Sena's office room, he simply felt the urge to pick and choose.

"Na, I owe a lot lately," Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled when he saw Yu Qiuhei and Sena's resentful eyes, "I originally had to do all this work in the afternoon, haven't I done it for almost a year?" ”

"What are you doing in the afternoon?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"Kick the bow! Don't you know? Imagawa Yoshimoto's natural expression made Yu Qiuping almost vomit blood, "Anyway, you see that I haven't taken care of it for a year, and the Imagawa family is not just the same." ”

As a result, Yu Qiuhei and Sena Shijun were forced to start an extremely bleak mess clean-up work. Under intense pressure, Sena quickly learns vertical arithmetic and Arabic numerals.

"There is also the training of your army, Yuqiu, you are also concerned." Before leaving, Imagawa Yoshimoto admonished, "I'm curious to see what your army can grow into in the end. If the actual combat is also good, I plan to emulate it in the flag team. ”

The training problem was a bit of a worry for Akihei, his office was in Sunfu, and the families of the Ashigaru were in Ejiri, and they preferred to go home in the evening. It is impossible for Yu Qiuping to run back and forth between the two places of Ejiri Junfu every day. Later, he came up with a clever idea. Let Amano Keitori and the pro-guard take turns to be on duty in the territory, and in the morning they will run from the territory with the ashigaru people in the morning, and in the evening, someone else will take them and run back again. During the day, he trained in the Junfu Castle barracks.

In the morning, Yu Qiuping would find time to help them continue training the team, but he didn't have to do everything himself. The discipline and obedience of the ashigaru have been well trained, and among the five squad leaders, except for Charlie, who insists on practicing arrows on his own, he can control the troops well. The troops are also trained under the supervision of Shogun Ashigaru. And Yu Qiuping also found that Amano Jingde is a very good instructor. He was unusually stern and cold. is not sympathetic, the grasping action is more fierce than Yu Qiuping, and the push-ups are also punished by 30. Under his more demonic urging, the discipline of the ashigaru became stricter. The last time Yu Qiuping went to see it, Amano Keitoku was letting Ashigaru stand in a row, and he took a handful of dirt and splashed it on their faces, and whoever dared to hide and rub it was push-ups. As a result, the two hundred feet were stunned, and they stood still one by one.

In the afternoon, Asahina Taehyung would bring a dozen spear instructors to help train Yu Qiuhei's ashigaru team. Help them improve their personal martial arts. Although Asahina Taehyung himself is not a qualified instructor, his main teaching method is to go head-to-head with students, or to challenge multiple students individually - mainly to satisfy his personal pleasure. But the level of the dozen or so spear instructors is still quite good, and they are taught in a good way.

Those coaches also sighed very much at the high quality of the Yuqiu Pingashi Light Team, they said that they had never seen such obedient students, they said that they never dared to say two, and when the coaches spoke, they didn't even talk to each other, and they stood up straight one by one. Of course, the leaders didn't know that Amano Keito, who was patrolling on the side, was carefully searching for any small movement of the ashigaru, looking for an opportunity to punish them for doing push-ups.

Moreover, due to the unity and high synergy of Yu Qiuping's subordinates, they can even practice in gun formations.

"All the people lined up in a tight phalanx, and at the same time they shot and assassinated together, turned back and forth, changed the queue, and the troops marched like a fish in water." The most senior head of the sect and Yu Qiuping sighed, "I have been fortunate enough to see the spearman of the Takeda family with a positive gun, and in terms of neatness and coordination, he is not as good as an adult's recruit." ”

Later, in order to increase the amount of training, Yu Qiuping also asked the ashigaru to run in armor during the morning run, which made everyone complain. However, after the first few people were punished for push-ups, the rest of them immediately stopped squeaking.

"If you sweat a little more when you train, you can shed a little less blood when you fight, and you have to know it in your heart." Yu Qiuping said to them earnestly.

In the evening, Yu Qiuping would always be called to Imagawa Yoshimoto with several high-ranking officials such as Sena Shijun to play waka. It's a traditional Japanese art that's generally a favorite of the elegant. There Yu Qiuping also met the eldest son of the Imagawa family, Imagawa Shin. The latter looks very similar to Imagawa Yoshimoto, but with less years of tempering and more elegance.

Yu Qiuping had heard Imagawa Yoshimoto explain how to pick up waka before, but it was still much worse than these masters. When Imagawa Yoshimoto saw Yuqiuping's clumsiness, he smiled and said, "Yuqiu, don't underestimate this." These cultures, elegance, are still very important for self-cultivation and for you to integrate into us. ”

"The hall, this sing, is there any trick?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"It's good to practice more, we practice like this every day, and your level will come up quickly." Imagawa Yoshimoto said, "Tell me the trick... I think it's about catching the flash of inspiration in my heart. ”

Seeing the knowing smile on the corner of Imagawa's mouth, Imagawa Yoshimoto pointed at Imagawa Shin, "Goro, you say." ”

"It's better for the Father to say it." Imagawa Shima, who has always been arrogant, is very modest every time he encounters a problem in literature and art. ”

"You're welcome, then." Imagawa Yoshimoto snapped his fingers, "Waka, the most important thing is the artistic conception!" The artistic conception is in place, the rhyme, the format, it doesn't matter if it's almost. ”

"Whatever you want to write, try to imagine that mood. Then a few inspirations will suddenly flash in your mind, and if something flashes, you will try to grasp it, string it together, and the next sentence will naturally blurt out. ”

"This..."Yu Qiuping looked confused.

"Practice more, practice more." Imagawa Yoshimoto said with a smile.

Every afternoon, Yu Qiuping would still run to the back mountain and spend the afternoon with the girl. When she rushed to the afternoon of the first day, the girl specially asked Yu Qiuping if the name of the reserve team was called Chang Panbei. After receiving Yu Qiuping's affirmative reply, the girl was silent for a long time, and she didn't know why.

Recently, the girl was teaching Yu Qiuping archery. However, every time Yu Qiuping saw the dying maple trees, thinking of the girl's sentence "The maple leaves will come back before they fall", he would sigh absent-mindedly, thinking about how long the red leaves he folded would be before the hundreds of maple trees were hung. Several arrows were shot crookedly.

"Pingjun, are you practicing seriously?" The girl was a little angry, "If you are so absent-minded, I will have to leave." ”

"Don't, miss, I'll practice hard!" Yu Qiuping said hurriedly, but he knew in his heart that it was no longer realistic to hang these hundreds of maple trees, and it was estimated that he could only choose a small mountain stream and hang the maple trees there.

As a result, Yu Qiuping, who still didn't concentrate, failed to shoot at the target again.

"Why is Pingjun so inattentive!" The girl angrily threw the bow and arrow to the ground, and said angrily, "I don't come every day, Pingjun, you can practice by yourself!" ”

"Don't! Miss! Yu Qiuping panicked all of a sudden, and blurted out, "Didn't you say that before the maple tree fell, it would come every day!" ”

The girl glanced at Yu Qiuping's anxious look, and then at the fading maple forest, and suddenly understood what Yu Qiuping was worried about just now, and her heart was sweet, but she muttered, "Anyway, it's going to be all over soon, and I won't come when the time comes." ”

This scared Yu Qiuping so much that he realized that no matter how he folded it alone, he couldn't hang the maple forest all over it, even if it was a small mountain stream, he couldn't hang it anymore.

Thinking that he might never see his sweetheart again, Yu Qiuping, whose IQ declined during the love period, did not consider the possibility of this being angry at all.

When he returned home in the evening, he asked all the ashigaru who were about to go home to stop and gave them the task of folding autumn leaves.

"My lord, why are we folding these!" Yoshioka Katsumasa tried several times but couldn't fold it, and asked Yu Qiuping in confusion.

Charlie and the guards looked at each other and smiled behind Yu Qiuping, no one said anything, planning to see how Yu Qiuping explained.

"I have my own use! Don't ask, fold it! Yu Qiuping blushed.

"No, my lord, if you don't tell me why, I won't break it!" Nakahide Omaezaki shook off the red paper in his hand, "This thing is too difficult!" I can't get it at all, how can I do it without some motivation! ”

"Yes, sir, you say!" "Do you have to hide something from us?" "Don't say we won't break!" Then the crowd shouted and heckled together. Yu Qiuping, who was difficult to ride a tiger, urgently needed their help, so he had to grit his teeth and prepare to speak, "This is my private matter!" Don't tell anyone! ”

"Good! No problem! Nakahide Mimasaki patted his chest and promised.

"My lord, think again." Before Yu Qiuping was about to speak, Ogawa Yudong suddenly put down the wine jug on the side of his mouth, "Telling Zhongxiu's big mouth is equivalent to telling Quanjun Mansion City, as well as all the people in those four villages, are you ready?" ”

"Youdong! What do you mean! Nakahide Gozenzaki got up and pointed at Ogawa Yuto, who looked indifferent, took a sip of wine, and ignored him.

"My lord, how much do you want to fold? It takes so many of us. Fukushima asked.

"I want to... A maple forest that hangs behind the mountain. Yu Qiuping said hesitantly.

I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air. Everyone looked at Yu Qiuping with the color of looking at the freak.

The scene was very awkward for a while.

"Sir, aren't you crazy?" Nakahide Omaezaki burst into laughter, "How is this possible! It's almost as good as you let the people of All Suruga help you fold it together! ”

"Why, sir?" Yoshioka Katsumasa asked again.

"Adults don't want to say, let's not ask." The guards saw Yu Qiuping's embarrassment, and spoke out to relieve the siege.

"Nope! Never mind! Fight! Yu Qiuping interrupted the guard, "I'll have the final say with you!" Yu Qiuping took a deep breath and stared at Mizenzaki Nakahide, "If you let the people in Junfu City know even the slightest rumor, you will do me 1,000 push-ups!" ”

"Huh! My lord! "Mimasaki Nakahide quit," and it wasn't necessarily what I said! ”

"Then you will supervise!" Yu Qiuping interrupted him, "I'll recognize you anyway!" ”

"That's the case..."Yu Qiuping quickly skipped his admiration for the girl and the way he got along with the girl under the pressure of everyone's subtle smile peculiar to men, "Anyway, you adults won't hang the maple leaf forest with red leaves!" I'll never see her again! Do you understand! ”

"My lord, we might as well do something realistic." Charlie suddenly spoke, "I often go to the back mountain, where there is a small mountain stream, and the canyon is surrounded by maple trees, and I can't see the outside scenery. As long as the maple trees in the canyon are hung with thin threads tied to the leaves, it is almost the same as the maple leaves have not fallen, right? There are so many maple leaves in the back mountain, we don't have time. ”

"Yes!" Yu Qiuping had also considered the small mountain stream before, so he nodded in approval. Seeing that everyone was looking at Yu Qiuping who was in love with a wicked smile, Yu Qiuping suddenly roared: "Then what are you doing in a daze!" Get up and help me fold! ”

The crowd was busy for two days before they realized that they had broken enough leaves to hang three trees. In a hurry, Yu Qiuping mobilized these family members of Ashigaru to help fold together, and when he found that it was still too late, he mobilized all the leaders to help fold together when they were fine. In these days, lowly lords rarely had the opportunity to participate in the affairs of the big people. The thought of the red leaves they folded could actually help their lord's emotional problems, everyone was full of energy. The red paper in Junfu City was swept away at once, and soon even the dyeing workshop and white paper were also collected by Yu Qiuping, and for a while, Junfu paper was expensive, and even paper could not be bought. So Yu Qiuping sent people to the surrounding cities and towns to purchase, and a cart of red paper was sent to Yu Qiuping's territory, which surprised the merchants.
