On April 12, 1564, Woo Chohei had just returned from his work at Cheongju Castle, and as soon as he returned to Kuroda Castle on his front foot, he saw Woo Cho Yu and Yu Cho Yu playing in the courtyard with a strange child younger than them. Kaede Imagawa waited with the children's clothes taken off, staring at the blue sky in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yu Qiuping walked up to her back lightly, and suddenly stretched out his hands to cover her eyes. Kaede Imagawa, who was suddenly attacked, was stunned for a moment, and then sneered.

"Why don't you even ask who I am?" Imagawa Kaede smiled and broke his hand, turning to face Yu Qiuping, "Yan'er and You'er both know the rules better than you when they play this game." ”

"When I ask, don't you know who I am when you hear my voice?" Yu Qiuping retorted dissatisfiedly, "What's the point? ”

"Fool," Imagawa Kaede quickly stood on tiptoe while the three children were not paying attention, and kissed Yu Qiuping on the lips like a dragonfly, "Even if you don't speak, I can recognize you just by feeling the breath and taste of Ping." ”

"Feng'er..."Yu Qiuping only felt sweet in his heart, gently hugged the beauty in front of him, took the clothes in her hand and held it in his hand.

"Whose child is this?" Yu Qiuping looked in the direction of the three- and four-year-old child, "Why are you playing with Yan'er and You'er?" ”

"This is Tiger Song." Kaede Imagawa replied as a matter of course.

"Tiger Song? Who is Tiger Pine? Yu Qiuping's face seemed to be full of question marks.

"You, you!" After Imagawa Kaede saw Yu Qiuping's performance, he stuck his waist and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I haven't said you yet!" You actually forgot all about Naohu! ”

Hearing Imagawa Kaede mention the word "straight tiger", Yu Qiuping reacted suddenly. Naotora Ii! The woman he had taken in there when he had always been in Mikawa. And the baby tiger pine she brought with her is the future Naomasa Ii.

"That's right! She told me before that she didn't want to accept the favor of the Yuqiu family in vain, and said that she wanted to go out of the Yuqiu family, but I didn't forget this person for nearly a year! Yu Qiuping patted his head and found that the big thing was not good, "I'll arrange things for her." ”

"Don't be stupid, General Yuqiu!" Imagawa Kaede smiled and mocked with the name he used to address Yu Qiuping, "She found me last year because she had nothing to do, and I already arranged things for her." It's just that you've been too busy to pay much attention. ”

"Oh?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, "What did you let her do?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that when you're away, ask her to help me deal with some copywriting work." Imagawa Kaede shook his head slightly, "There are so many of those things, if you are not here, Lord Naoe will also have to deal with the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, where can I be busy alone?" ”

"By the way, Ping," Imagawa Kaede suddenly remembered something, "Have you ever considered asking someone to be the teacher of the tea ceremony, martial arts, and etiquette of Yin'er and You'er?" ”

"Huh? Aren't half-guards and power-guards suitable? Didn't I already let them each have a child? Yu Qiuping asked incomprehensibly.

"I've asked them before, but both adults admit they're not very good at that." Kaede Imagawa shook his head and replied.

"Forget it, those don't matter anyway." Yu Qiuping waved his hand nonchalantly, "The tea ceremony or something, it's originally an elegant thing." Back then, His Royal Highness the Governor had to take me to learn some tea ceremony, even songs, or something, and I was in trouble. Alas, it's all tears, don't let our children suffer the pain I did back then! ”

"And that martial art, it's even more useless!" As soon as Yu Qiuping talked about the martial arts he was not good at, he immediately began to defend himself: "Our children will inherit my position when the time comes, and they will definitely be the masters of the army!" How could the Lord of an army need to draw his sword himself! That's too embarrassing, what kind of martial arts to learn! ”

"You, you! Don't talk about these fallacies all day long! Imagawa Kaede said dissatisfiedly, "The sword is the foundation of a martial artist. ”

"What you said is a bit similar to my eldest brother," Yu Qiuping remembered that Maeda Toshiya usually reprimanded him for his lack of martial arts, and repeatedly emphasized to him that the sword is the foundation of martial arts.

"Don't be poor! There are also tea ceremonies, etiquette, and martial arts, all of which are self-cultivation cultivation," Imagawa Kaede looked at Yu Qiuping with some complaint, "Even if they themselves are not useful, they will be very helpful to the development of children's character!" ”

Imagawa Kaede's words made Yu Qiuping agree with it. In their previous lives, they learned so much knowledge in the classroom, in fact, they are not very useful in daily life, but the learning methods and the exercise of willpower and concentration used when learning these boring knowledge will benefit them for life.

"So you mean, let me ask Naotora Ii to be their teacher of etiquette and tea ceremony?" Yu Qiuping looked at Imagawa Kaede and asked tentatively.

"I think Naohu is a good fit." Kaede Imagawa nodded, "She is not only strict, but also proficient in all of the above, so she would be a good teacher." ”

"That's a good suggestion," Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "We can also call children of the same age, such as Tiger Song and Kinbei's child Cheng Yuan Maru, to study together, and let them have a companion." ”

·

When Akihei and Kaede Imagawa go to Naotora Ii to look for her in Yashiki in Kuroda Castle, they unexpectedly find a sneaky figure. Imagawa Kaede didn't need to look too much, and he recognized it at a glance as Anayama Nodashimi.

"He's been pestering Naotora for almost half a year," Kaede Imagawa explained to Yu Qiuping, "and all kinds of looking for Naohu are courteous. ”

"This kid!" Yu Qiuping scolded with a smile, "As soon as I see a beautiful woman, my eyes are straight." You don't have any contact points with him, I'm not at ease! ”

"Then it's up to you to help, Cave Mountain-sama, he's going to bother me every few days now." Kaede Imagawa smiled helplessly.

"Oh? What are you looking for? Yu Qiuping asked in surprise.

"Because Naohu often comes to me to help, Lord Cave Mountain is looking for various reasons to come to me to report to work, and I want to find an opportunity to get in touch with Naoto." When Imagawa Kaede talked about this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Naohu is very well-cultivated, although he is annoyed by Lord Cave Mountain every day, but he has never complained to me. However, she still tried not to stay in her own house, so as not to be blocked by Caveyama-sama. Therefore, he also left Tiger Pine in the castle tower temporarily, and I often let Tiger Pine play with Tsu'er and You'er. ”

"That's right," Yu Qiuping's expression began to change subtly as he looked at the back of Akayama Nodami. It seems that this kid is not a simple sperm worm watching the wonderful woman this time. But... Got in love?

However, a proud woman like Naohu Ii never married in her previous life. Because he had a marriage contract with Naoko Ii, he came back to raise him as the adoptive mother of Naokin's youngest son, Toramatsu. After that, she also refused many samurai proposals on the grounds that she already had a marriage contract, and widowed the nominal husband who did not fulfill the marriage contract for life. No matter how you look at it, the chance of Cave Mountain Faithfulness holding a beauty is about zero.

"Don't be in a daze!" Imagawa Kaede poked Yu Qiuping, "Naohu seems to be back, aren't we going to look for her?" ”

Yu Qiuping came back from his thoughts, and saw that Ii Naohu was walking back from the market, still carrying a basket in his hand, as if he was returning from grocery shopping. And Anayama Nobushi also noticed Naotora Ii and jumped out from behind the wall where he was hiding.

"Wait a minute," Yu Qiuping pulled Kaede Imagawa's arm, "I want to see how this kid accosted him first." ”

At this time, Nobumi Anayama was holding a small bag and walking towards Naotora I. At the same time, Naotora Ii also noticed Akayama Noshimi, and his face immediately became gloomy. After noticing Naotoko Ii's dissatisfied expression, Anayama's face suddenly turned red, and his movements became even more stiff.

Yu Qiuping is the first time I have seen it - this pickle girl expert who has been in the midst of thousands of flowers and does not stick to the leaves, and the overlord of the whale house of Keiji Maeda, Akayama Faithfulness, actually showed a shy and cramped expression when facing the girl!

"Straight Tiger... Miss Naotoka! Anayama Nobumi saw Ii Naotora walking quickly towards Yashiki, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice.

"There is a marriage contract in Xia, please call Mrs. Shimoi." Jing Yi Naotohu's cold words directly extinguished the enthusiasm in Akayama Faithi's heart. "Lord Cave Mountain is here on this trip, I don't know what is important?"

The implication is that I don't want to talk to you if I don't have anything important.

"This..."Anayama Nobumi swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and made up his mind to hold up the bag in his hand with both hands, bowed sharply, and brought the bag to Ii Naoto's face.

"This is some of the intentions below...", Anayama Noshimi whispered a little awkwardly.

"What are these?" Naota Ii asked vigilantly.

"Just some fabric!" Cave Mountain replied quickly, then paused, and carefully explained, "This... Looking down, Mrs. Ii seems to have not changed into new clothes for a long time... So... So..."

"Thank you for the kindness of the cave mountain masters, but in vain. Lord Cave Mountain has already given me a lot of things before, and I don't dare to thank you for such a generous kindness. Jing Yi Naohu shook his head indifferently, and without looking at Akayama Norumi, he turned sideways to pass by him.

"This..."Akayama Nominee saw that things were going to be yellow, and hurriedly spoke again: "But Madame's clothes..."

"I'm very comfortable wearing this dress and don't need new clothes." Jing Yi Naohu still said very coldly.

"That! Let's think of it as making some clothes for Tiger Song! Xueshan Xinshi was in a hurry, and hurriedly spoke, for fear that Jing Yi Naohu would leave immediately: "Hu Song is growing taller, and his original clothes will soon be no longer worn!" I'm definitely in need of new clothes! ”

This sentence made Jing Yi Naohu stop. However, after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head firmly. Just as she was about to open her mouth to reject the Anayama letter, Little Tiger Song ran towards them from the street in the distance. Yu Qiuyou also followed closely behind Xiaohu Song, and Yu Qiuyu followed from afar. Because of his poor health, his physical strength has always been inferior to Yu Qiuyou and Hu Song, who is one year younger than him.

"Uncle Caveyama!" After Hu Song saw Xueshan Shishi, he opened his hand excitedly, "Have you come to see me again!" ”

"That's right! Tiger Pine! As soon as Anayama Nominee saw Hu Song, the nervousness and shyness on his face just now suddenly faded. He squatted down and hugged Hu Song, who threw himself into his arms, "Uncle has sent you the fabric to make clothes!" ”
