(I'm in a good mood today, and I have plenty of time, so let's have another chapter.) ）

How much did Japanese people know about kanji during the Warring States period? I don't know about this, but I watched the Taiga drama "The Tale of the National Thief", in which Michizo Saito, Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide and other big names signed in kanji when issuing orders.

Today, in the Osaka Museum, there is a report from the Warring States period, written by Monkey Kinoshita Hideyoshi and Akechi Mitsuhide to Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki on the security and internal affairs of Kyoto (at that time, they were the guardians and commissioners of Kyoto, respectively).

At the end of the signature, there is the one in front of the two, and the father-in-law of "Wise Ten Soldiers Guard Mitsuhide" written by Wise Mitsuhide is neat. On the other hand, "Kinoshita Toyoshiro Hideyoshi" is written crookedly, which is obviously in contrast to the other side.

This shows that the Chinese characters of that era, like French in medieval Europe, were popular throughout Europe, and even many large countries stronger than France were more willing to abandon their Chinese language and use French. In Japan, many people in the upper echelons take pride in being able to write kanji, and they don't use kanji when they can write their own kanji.

"Lord, Princess Xiang is here!"

The two guards guarding the door opened the wooden door with their hands, and Moriranmaru stood in the front, after all, he was only eleven years old, and because of his height, the person behind him was clear at a glance.

Standing behind Moriranmaru is naturally Princess Oda Ka, because it is a little far away, so I didn't see her appearance clearly, and next to her, there are two middle-aged aunts...... No, two high-ranking servants.

"Come in."

Meet Father and Mother! Oda Ka whispered softly, there was really no shadow of Oda Nobunaga.

It was only when I knew that he had walked up to us that I could see her face clearly.

In the end, it is the daughter of Oda Nobunaga, who looks quite good, and is somewhat similar to Mrs. Nohime, with a moth eyebrow, eyes like autumn water, skin like condensation, red lips and hands, classical and noble temperament, dignified and beautiful, although only thirteen years old, but will definitely be a great beauty in the future.

"Meet Your Highness, Madam...... And ......" It's not just that she doesn't know my name, or she doesn't know how to call me, but she stutters a little, "And Nobukomi!" In the end, she chose a title that was neither close nor distant.

"Jubei, ma'am, this is my daughter, Kao," Oda Nobunaga introduced, "Thirteen years old, about the same age as your family's Kogoro, how about it?" Still satisfied? After speaking, he looked at us with smug eyes, like an artist who had completed his own great work.

The lord laughed, "This is a polite word, Oda Nobunaga's daughter, which round did we pick?" "Princess Xiang's heavenly appearance, what else can we not be satisfied with?"

I've been keeping an eye on her since Oda Ka came in.

Although my expression is still calm, my heart has long been tumbling. Not just because of her beauty, but because I always had a strange feeling.

I've seen her!

It's not that I'm delusional, but from the moment I saw her clearly, my heart began to shake.

I've seen her, and though I can't remember where, where, or when I saw her, I've certainly seen her!

While I was observing Oda Ka, I was also being observed by Oda Ka like a small animal in a zoo, and it was a little rude for me to look at him so directly.

In the face of my faux pas, Oda Ka didn't say a word, just looked at me with a smile, and in this snowy winter, her smile was as natural and warm as the spring sun.

So, the two of us just looked at each other with "affection".

"Kogoro!" Mrs. Nonghime was very happy to see that the two of us were "calling" as soon as we met, "How is it, Ah Xiang...... Is your cousin Xiang good-looking? ”

"Very good, very good, cousin...... Oh no, the princess is beautiful and fragrant, and Kogoro is shocked. I nodded, in terms of appearance, Oda Xiang is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen since I came to this world.

"Well, it seems that you're very satisfied with Ah Xiang," Oda Nobunaga opened the folding fan in his hand, it was the middle of winter, and he certainly didn't do it because he wanted to fan the wind.

"So," he turned his head to Oda Ka, but a mischievous smile appeared on his face, "Ah Xiang, what is your impression of your cousin?" ”

Without waiting for Oda Xiang to answer, he pretended to sigh, "Alas, this kid is really not good, although he looks good, he is also handsome, but in fact, he is also golden and jade, and he is ruined inside." I just inspected him, and I was so disappointed, this guy is not good at martial arts, not good at literature and art, and I heard that he doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, he is lazy to eat, and he wanders around the streets of Kyoto all day long, such a person, how can I easily marry you to him...... In short, Ah Xiang, as long as you say a word, I will blast this kid out! ”

Although he pretended to be serious, everyone could tell that he was joking.

A group of us all looked at Oda Nobunaga with tears and laughter, and even Mrs. Nohime, who knew him best, was now completely speechless. And Senranmaru and the other attendants were already covering their mouths and snickering on the side.

"Father-sama laughed," the first to react was actually Oda Ka, and she said in a gentle tone, "Nobumitsu Gongzi is from a famous family of the Seiwa Genji clan, and he himself is also a handsome (I'm a little embarrassed to praise it) all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he will definitely become a guardian of the imperial court in the future...... So Ah Xiang is very satisfied, and it's too late to be happy. ”

"Huh?" Even Mrs. Nonghime showed a different look, could this thirteen-year-old girl come up with these words herself? No way......

Sure enough, Oda Nobunaga's face was calm, and he couldn't see a little surprise and said, "So, Ah Xiang, are you very satisfied with him?" ”

"Yes." Speaking of this, Oda Xiang glanced at me secretly, and a hint of crimson appeared on her face, "Ah Xiang is willing to marry Nobumitsu Gongzi, take care of Gongzi for the rest of his life, and become a member of the wise family." ”

"You have to think about it, it's about your life." Today is the first time I have seen Oda Nobunaga's cautious expression, which is completely different from the pretense just now.

"Ah Xiang has already thought about it, please ask my father to fulfill it." Oda Ka fell to the ground with her whole body covered.

"That's it, the female big girl is not staying," Oda Nobunaga sighed, and his tone suddenly turned stern: "Wise Kogoro Nobumitsu, you roll over for me!" ”

"Yes! Be! "Actually, I wasn't far from him, and I moved twice to get to him.

Oda Nobunaga glared at me with eagle eyes, "Boy! Ah Xiang is my favorite daughter, and now she has been abducted by you! But since she did it voluntarily, I won't stop it! ”

"Xie Dadian is complete!" Although his tone was stern, he did not have the murderous aura he had in the barracks, and I put my mind at ease, "I am wise Kogoro Nobumitsu hereby swears that in this life and this life, I will be the guardian of Her Royal Highness Princess Xiang!" If I break this oath, I will end up with no place to die! ”

"Good! Like a man! Hearing my poisonous oath, Oda Nobunaga's face softened a lot, "But it doesn't need to be like that...... Ranmaru, go and get the 'boy Che Angang' here! ”

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Moriranmaru quickly retreated.

I looked at my father, not knowing what he was going to do, the famous knife used by the ancestor of our wise family, Minamoto Yorimitsu, and my "cheap ancestor" used it to kill the infamous drunken boy. I heard that this knife has changed hands and is now in the hands of Oda Nobunaga, what does he want this knife to do now?

After a while, Moriranmaru came back with a rectangular box, and he moved to remove the lid.

He took out a simple sword about 80 centimeters long and handed it to Oda Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga took the knife and placed it in front of me, "This knife is one of the 'five swords in the world', I believe that you don't need me to introduce you, you should also know its origin!" Back then, your ancestor Seiwa Genji Lai Guanggong was a great hero who moved the world, killed demons all his life, and stood up to the sky, I now hand over this knife to you, not only hoping that you can be as powerful and indomitable as him, but also to remind you, remember the oath just now, if you really dare to do something sorry for Ah Xiang, then hand the knife back to me, and I will personally cut off your head! ”

"Although the main hall can rest assured, the small one promises that Princess Xiang will not be wronged and hurt in any way!" Even my ancestors were brought out, which was certainly not a joke, and I felt a cold sweat break out on my back as I took the knife. Oda Nobunaga never hesitated when faced with key issues, and this is the most crucial place for him to grow from a small castle lord living in Minami-Owari to a daimyo who unified the whole of Owari, and then became the people of the world!

"Well, that's fine," Oda Nobunaga's face finally returned to normal, "Jubei, and Mrs. Ake." ”

"Lord (main hall)." Both parents prostrate.

Oda Nobunaga closed the folding fan in his hand, as if he had finally completed a very difficult task, "We will be in-laws in the future, and I won't be too harsh on your family, but as a father, I still hope that you can ...... to Ah Xiang"

"Rest assured, Princess Xiang is not only the daughter-in-law of the wise family, but also the pearl of your palm, our family will definitely treat Princess Xiang like a daughter, please rest assured!" Father hurriedly said.

Seeing them look so frightened, I suddenly thought of the historical Asai Nagamasa and Tokugawa Nobuyasu.

One of them is Oda Nobunaga's sister-in-law and the other is a son-in-law. In the end, he didn't die well, and Asai Nagamasa was even used as a wine vessel by his brother-in-law in the end.

At this time, I glanced at Oda Ka, my future wife, and she was looking at his father with a peaceful smile on her face.

What kind of woman is she?

"Alright, that's it!" After a matter of heart, Oda Nobunaga finally smiled and turned his head to me again: "That's it, even if this family affair is decided, at the end of this year, I will personally officiate the marriage between you and Ah Xiang, but before that, you have to follow your father to San'in to make a meritorious contribution worthy of you as my Nobunaga's son-in-law, only in this way can Ah Xiang marry you in style!" ”

"Yes!" I thought to myself that Nobunaga's son-in-law was really not good.
