Matsuchiyo didn't express too much surprise, but asked Hideho, "Since you are my uncle, do you know who my father is?" ”

Matsuchiyo didn't even know who his biological father was? Xiubao subconsciously turned his face to look at Sato Nobuyasu, who also had a helpless expression, leaned into Xiubo's ear, and whispered to him: "This is also the meaning of His Royal Highness Guan Bai, on the one hand, he is worried that he will be disgusted by Taiko and affect his future, on the other hand, because Matsuchiyo's mother's identity is too humble, even if he is brought back to the house, he will be alienated and despised by the world, so it is better not to tell him his true identity." ”

Hideho nodded in understanding and continued to ask, "So, didn't Matsuchiyo ask who his parents were?" Xinkang sighed, looked a little sad, and said, "Why didn't you ask?" Although he was fostered in the family of the lower minister, the education he received was the best, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation were all of the best, and there was almost no difference between him and the children of the aristocratic family, so the only thing that disappointed him was that he didn't know who his biological parents were. He asked me more than once, and I could only perfunctory him, saying that his father was a samurai who died in battle, and his mother was martyred. As for the specific situation, the subordinate really couldn't make it up, so he warned him not to ask too much, the young master was also very sensible, and he didn't ask when he saw that I was unhappy, who would have thought that he remembered it again today. It's the subordinates who didn't discipline them well..."

Hideho waved his hand in the hope that Nobuyasu would not blame himself, and after thinking for a while, he turned his head again, squatted down to look at Matsuchiyo, and said to him with a smile: "Of course I know who your father is, but I am his righteous brother, do you know what the righteous brother means?" "Probably the relationship between me and my brother-in-law, right?" Matsuchiyo blurted out.

Xiubao touched his head and said with relief: "It's really smart, that's what it means, let me tell you, your father's name is Miyoshi Sun Shichiro, he is a brave samurai, but it's a pity that he died on the battlefield, I came to take you home this time, are you willing?" The grandparents at home are still waiting to see you."

Matsuchiyo blinked his big sparkling eyes and looked at Nobuyasu with some reluctance: "I still have grandparents?" My stepfather didn't even tell me... Great, I want to see them, but I don't want to be separated from my stepfather. When Nobuyasu heard Matsuchiyo say this, he burst into tears, his lips trembled, and he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Xiubao turned his face to look at Nobuyasu, and said kindly: "I didn't let you be separated from your father-in-law, His Royal Highness Nobuyasu will also go back with us, am I right, His Highness Nobuyasu?" Knowing that he could continue to take care of Matsuchiyo, Nobuyasu finally let go of his hanging heart, and suddenly burst into laughter, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled at Matsuchiyo: "Yes, my father-in-law will also go home with you." ”

Hearing this, Matsuchiyo finally relaxed his slightly frowning brows, happily threw himself into Hidebo's arms, and shouted that Hideho would take him back to see his grandparents. Hideho and the others immediately set off and took Matsuchiyo to Kyoto to visit Miyoshi Yoshibo and Zuiryuin.

On the way there, Hideho told Matsuchiyo: "Because your father had a feud with many people during his lifetime, you are not allowed to tell others your true identity, and if anyone asks, say that you are a little monk of Fukuganji Temple, who has no father or mother since childhood, and was adopted by your grandparents who went to the mountain gate to pray for blessings not long ago, as for the specific details, don't answer." ”

Two hours later, Hideho and his entourage came to Kyoto, and handed over Matsuchiyo to Miyoshi Yoshibo and Zuiryuin, you know, two of their three sons passed to Hideyoshi, and one passed to Hidenaga, since then the family door can be said to be cut off, this accidental grandson, not only made up for the trauma of the two old people who lost their beloved son, but also added a bit of fun to their later life.

Time passed quickly, the tea party was held on time on November 20, and the number of people who were expected to attend the tea party was 800, who would have thought that due to the relaxation of the restrictions on attendance, the actual number of people attending the meeting would reach more than 1,400 on the day of the official start, far exceeding expectations.

In order to be able to compete with the festival in scale and quality, Xiubao spent a lot of money on tea sets and other items, and even rented paintings by famous masters to decorate the tea room.

Because it was the first event to be held in eight years, Hideyoshi specially told Hideho that he hoped to be one of the four tea heads like back then. Knowing that Hideyoshi cared so much about this tea party, Hideho naturally agreed excitedly.

Due to Hideyoshi's participation, Hideho placed the tea heads in four separate seats, in the specific order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Furuta Shigeran, Hosokawa Tadashiko, and Oda Yurakusai. Each guest in attendance had to draw lots in front of Hideyoshi to decide which table they belonged to, so that they could drink the tea they had ordered at the head of their seat.

Hideho smoked the strong tea that Hideyoshi ordered (maybe it was a dark box operation). After tasting the tea, Hideho brought Matsuchiyo to Hideyoshi and said respectfully, "Your Highness Taiko, this young man is the little monk I mentioned in my heart that my father adopted him at Fukuganji Temple. With that, he asked Matsuchiyo to kneel down and salute Hideyoshi.

But Matsuchiyo didn't listen to Hideho's words and still stood in place, which made Hideho panic, and Hideyoshi's face also flashed a trace of unhappiness, but out of consideration for not destroying the atmosphere, he still asked Matsuchiyo with a smile: "Why don't you listen to His Highness and kneel obediently?" Matsuchiyo asked Hideho in a childlike voice, "Uncle, didn't you say that only the one in the world who is Fushimi is worthy of our knees, why did you ask me to bow down with this man named Taiko?" ”

When Hideyoshi heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, and said to Matsuchiyo with wide eyes: "What your uncle said is right, but I am the one from the world in Fushimi!" Matsuchiyo was still puzzled, looked at Hideyoshi and said, "You say that you are from the world, then you can make the whole world kneel to you?" ”

"That's nature." Hideyoshi coughed loudly as he spoke, and at this time, first his side approached, then the surrounding ministers, and finally the entire hall knelt down towards Hideyoshi. Seeing this scene, Hideyoshi nodded with satisfaction and looked at Matsuchiyo as if he was stubborn: "Do you think I'm from the world now?" ”

Seeing this, Matsuchiyo hurriedly knelt down, trembling with fear, and said respectfully: "Xiao Tong see His Royal Highness the people of the world!" "Your Highness? Haha, that's right, I'm from the world! Hearing this strange name, Hideyoshi was not angry, but unusually happy, he stood up, walked to Matsuchiyo, helped him up, and asked Hideho: "This little boy is talented and intelligent, and he is very likable, but Ruilongin has good luck, and he will inherit the Miyoshi family, and he will not insult the family name in the future, I heard you say that although he has been subdued, he has not yet taken a name, right?" ”

Hideho replied, "Exactly, the minister came here to ask His Highness for a name on the orders of his father. "That's right," Hideyoshi nodded, "Since I'm going to inherit the Miyoshi family in the future, then I'll give him the word 'hide', and then take the word 'room' from the name of Yoshibo." "Thank Your Highness for the name!" Hideho and Matsuchiyo thanked each other in unison.

In the envious eyes of everyone, Hideho left Hideyoshi's tea party with Matsuchiyo and prepared to go to other tea tables to taste tea.

The more than 1,400 tea rooms connected to Xuanxuan have been carefully decorated, each with its own characteristics, some of which are straw roofs and wooden fence walls; Some have bamboo-woven doors with ropes hanging from them; Some have reed roofs and reed walls; There is also a roof made of shino, with a tripod made of stone and a mat made of a koji; Others use ropes tied to the branches of pine trees to hang tea kettles, and some divide the bottles in half to hold water. It can be seen that everyone has put in a lot of effort to show their own elegance.

At this moment, a loud sound of gongs and drums came into the venue from far and near, and Hideho and the others looked into the distance, and couldn't help but be shocked by the grand procession: a hundred sedan chairs, two hundred cages, and countless long cabinets composed of honor guards slowly moved forward, surrounded by all red-clothed samurai on horseback to escort them.

"It's finally here, um... I'm afraid that only one person can enjoy this kind of high-standard treatment, right? Hideho said to himself with a smile.
