Chapter 299: Women Are Always Scary Than You Think!
"What? Warrior! As soon as Xiaolan's voice fell, before Sasuke and Kojiro could answer, Ame on the side rushed over, grabbed Xiaolan's hand and said excitedly, "Xiaolan, do you mean that you can let Kojiro be a samurai?" ā
Xiaolan smiled and shook her head, ignoring Ame's expectant gaze, and said to Sasuke and Kojiro, "It's not that I can make Kojiro a samurai, but on his own!" ā
"On his own?" Sasuke said puzzledly, "But we are just farmers, and without your help, how easy it would be to become a samurai!" ā
"Yes, Xiaolan!" Amei on the side also said eagerly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xiaolan hurriedly replied, "Didn't I hear Kojiro say just now that he was training as a peasant soldier in Kanazawa Castle?" That's the first step to becoming a samurai! Who said that a peasant could not be a samurai? In this family, anyone can become a samurai as long as you have made great achievements. ā
"My brother also started from an ordinary ashigaru, and now he has become a pillar of the family!" Xiaolan said encouragingly.
"Has Matsatomaru also become a samurai?" Sasuke said excitedly. Shotomaru is the young name of Miki Naogo.
Xiaolan nodded, and said affirmatively, "Of course, the elder brother is now the general of the family, and he is in the high position of the lord of Yodogawa City, and he is also the leader of the blue bei, one of the five colors of the family." ā
"So as long as Kojiro works hard enough, becoming a samurai is still a very simple thing." Xiaolan looked at Kojiro with a longing face on the side and said.
Xiaolan's words made Sasuke and Amei's eyes light up, although what Xiaolan said about the general, what Sasuke and Ame heard were not clear, but the words of the city lord were enough to shock Sasuke's family.
Both Sasuke and Ame knew that Kanazawa Castle, not far away, was home to a samurai of the Tsugawa family, who was in charge of more than a dozen villages in the Kanazawa area. Of course, in fact, the reason why these villages are under the management of Tozawa Masashige is because these villages belong to the Zhixing Land of Tozawa Masashige. But Sasuke and Ame don't know, they still think that every castle lord has such a big territory.
Amei said even more excitedly, "Xiaolan, you just said that you are Kojiro's sister, so Kojiro's matter is also your business." Why don't you take Kojiro back and give your husband that what is Tsugawa-sama? That's the name, isn't it? Tell him, how about arranging an easier and safer job for us Kojiro? ā
Xiaolan frowned when she heard this, to be honest, she was disgusted with Amei Xiaolan, if it weren't for Sasuke's face, Xiaolan wouldn't have bothered with her at all.
"Uncle, if Kojiro really wants to become a samurai, he really has to rely on his own ability in his family. Even if I told His Highness that Kojiro would be placed in His Highness's flag book, Kojiro had no skills at all and had no experience, which would make people gossip. Xiaolan said slowly, "You don't want Kojiro to live in the contempt of his colleagues." So I think Kojiro really has to start from Ashigaru, so that he can slowly accumulate merit and experience. I'm sure Kojiro will become a samurai sooner or later. ā
Hearing Xiaolan say this, Amei closed her mouth stupidly. Sasuke looked at Kojiro, who was silent, and said, "Kojiro, what do you think?"
Kojiro thought about it when he heard this, then raised his head and said firmly, "I listen to Sister Xiaolan, tomorrow I will go to Kanazawa City to participate in the selection of the standing ashigaru!" I, Kojiro, will definitely become a samurai like Brother Matsunomaru! ā
"Good! Worthy of being a descendant of my Miki family! Sasuke said with relief.
In fact, in the early years, the Miki family also produced samurai, and Miki Naogo and Xiaolan's father was a samurai. The seedling character Miki was also given by the lord at that time. However, later, the main family to which the Miki family belonged was wiped out, and the Miki family was also deprived of their samurai status, and they collapsed.
Miki Naogo and Ran's parents also died in the war.
Seeing that the samurai reappeared in the Miki family, and Xiaolan became the wife of the main family, although it was a side room, it was also a matter of honoring the ancestors. Sasuke is still very envious in his heart, in his early years, he was a peasant soldier with his brother, and his brother was given the status of a samurai for his meritorious service, but he was injured and could only be a farmer.
Now that his brother's son has also become a samurai, Sasuke thinks that his son can't go on like himself. The eldest son, Taro, couldn't count on it, so Sasuke put his hope on Kojiro.
Xiaolan nodded, and then said, "Tomorrow I will return to Tsugawa Castle, and then Kojiro will go with me." When I pass by Kanazawa Castle, I will explain Kojiro's identity to Tozawa-sama of Kanazawa Castle, and let Kojiro directly become the ashigaru of Kanazawa Castle when the time comes. Although it is not realistic for Kojiro to become a samurai directly, it is still okay if it is just Ashigaru. ā
"Thank you so much, Xiaolan." Sasuke said excitedly, "Kojiro, don't you want to thank Sister Xiaolan." ā
"Thank you, Sister Xiaolan!" Kojiro on the side also said happily.
Xiaolan smiled and said slowly, "Don't be polite, it's all a family." ā
"Yes, yes, it's all family!" Amei smiled and said, "Is Xiaolan hungry?" I'm going to cook for you. ā
"Uncle and aunt don't need it, I've eaten in Kanazawa Castle before. I'll talk about it later when I'm ready to go out for a walk. Xiaolan said calmly.
Sasuke smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaolan has been gone for so many years, and although Kanazawa Village has not changed much, it is still possible to go shopping." Later, I'll take Kojiro into the mountains to hunt, and I'll be sure to get some game back. ā
"Good!" Xiaolan smiled faintly.
..................
Half an hour later, Sasuke and Kojiro set off to hunt, and Ran also walked out of Sasuke's house to find Yukihime, who was bored outside the village.
"Xue Ji, let's go, I'll take you to the village to have a look." Xiaolan said with a smile.
"Okay, take me to see the places you went to when you were a child." Yukihime nodded and said.
As she spoke, Xiaolan turned her head and said to Xin Tian Xinfan behind her, "Lord Xin Tian, you don't have to follow, just stand by outside the village." Xiaolan and I went to the village to have a look. ā
"Madam, the lord ordered me to protect the two ladies at all times, so let's bring a few ashigaru to follow!" Xin Tian Xin said in embarrassment.
Xue Ji frowned, pretending to be angry and said, "What? Your Highness's orders are orders, so can you not listen to my words? ā
"Don't dare! Madame's words are naturally listened to, and it is also for the safety of the two ladies, please don't blame Madame! Xin Tian Xinfan hurriedly said.
"That's good! I now order you to wait outside the village with Ashigaru, and Ran and I will go in and have a look. Rest assured, there will be no danger in the village! Yukihime said affirmatively.
Xin Tian Xinfan gritted his teeth and said helplessly, "That's good, Madame be careful on the road." ā
"That's right!" Xue Ji smiled and nodded, and said to Xiaolan on the side, "Let's go!" ā
"Good!"
Xiaolan hurriedly strode into the village with Xue Ji.
Xintian Xinfan looked at the back of Yukihime and Xiaolan leaving, and felt anxious, and a samurai on the side came to Xintian's side and said, "My lord, don't we really have to follow?" ā
"Nonsense, Madame said this, do you dare to follow?" Xin Tian Xinfan said angrily.
"But my lord, my lord has given an order, so that we will not leave the two ladies an inch. If something happens............." the samurai said as he said without saying a word.
Xin Tian Xinshi said loudly: "Shut your stinky mouth! Of course, I know that the lord has orders, but do you think the lady can listen to us just now? If you anger the two ladies and disturb the two ladies' Yaxing, let's not think about it! ā
"No, the two ladies are very good!" The samurai wondered.
Xin Tian Xinfan laughed and said, "Boy, you haven't gotten married yet." In the words of the lord, you are still too young, women are always more terrible than you think! ā
"You don't understand it now, but you'll know when you get married later! Ha ha! ā
The samurai scratched his head, and although he didn't know why, he pretended to understand and said, "My lord, what are we doing now?" ā
"Hmm...."Xin Tian Xinshi thought for a moment and said, "You take the first team to patrol the vicinity of the village, and I will take the rest of the people to patrol the rest of the place." ā
"Hah!"
