On April 20, the twelfth year of astronomy, it was almost a month since the princess of the Tsugawa family was born. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
For the birth of the little princess, the leaders of the Tsugawa family are still very happy, after all, how Tsugawa Soji treats them, these leaders know in their hearts, and sincerely bless Cangjie and Xiaolan's mother and daughter.
However, the retainers of the Tsugawa family are somewhat regretful, after all, they gave birth to a daughter, and for the Tsugawa family, there is an urgent need for a male son now, a young master who can inherit the family business of the Tsugawa family.
However, Xiaolan is a side room after all, and Xue Ji, who is the main room in the back, is also about to give birth, so the retainers didn't show anything about such a result. Only Miki Naogo, who is far away in Yodogawa City, has some regrets, after all, it is his sister who gave birth to a daughter, and Miki Naogo still feels a little sorry in his heart.
People are selfish, and of course Miki Naogo has it as a normal person. His sister is the wife of the head of the Tsugawa family as Tsugawa Soji and Tsugawa. Although it's only a side room, if you give birth to a son, you still have the right to inherit it to some extent. If the main lady Xue Ji did not give birth to a boy, or if there was any accident in the future, then Xiaolan's son would still have a good chance as the eldest son.
After all, the infant mortality rate in this era is still quite large, but unfortunately Xiaolan gave birth to a daughter, and it is useless to say anything now. Compared with Miki Naogo's regrets, Togo Yoshiyu was very happy in his heart.
Togo Yoshisuke is Yukihime's uncle, and if Xiaolan takes the lead in leaving the men for the Tsugawa family at this time, it will affect Yukihime somewhat, but everything doesn't matter. As long as Yukihime comes from behind and there are only men left, no one can shake Yukihime's status in the Tsugawa family.
In the castle tower of Tsugawa Castle, Tsugawa Soji summoned Saigo Kizo, Ogasawara Shintoki, Ogasawara Yasunaga, Kiuchi Nagaru and other retainers to hold an evaluation.
"Lord, although winter came earlier this year, it also left earlier than before, so spring plowing was also carried out in advance." Saigo Kizo said happily, "At present, the spring plowing of our family is proceeding in an orderly manner, and I believe it will not be long before it ends." ”
"In addition, since Mt. Shimono has been connected to the river of the Kakagogawa River, hundreds of newly reclaimed land in Mt. Shimono have been successfully irrigated this year." Saigo Kizo continued.
"Very good, once the spring plowing is completed, the family can use troops externally!" Soji Tsugawa said happily.
"Are all the supplies ready? Wooden. Soji Tsugawa then asked.
Saigo Muzao hurriedly replied, "My lord, all kinds of materials have been prepared. At present, Yodogawa Castle, Kamimaeda Castle, Tsugawa Castle, Takahashi Castle and other castles have prepared supplies for the army's battle. As long as the lord gives an order, the family can launch an attack on the Yuri party. ”
"Good!" Soji Tsugawa nodded, then turned his head to Ogasawara Shintoki on the side and said, "Shintoshi, how was the matter of Kinshiro Hirata handled last time?" ”
What happened during this time made Soji Tsugawa almost forget about it.
Ogasawara Shintoki hurriedly replied, "It's already been dealt with, the last transaction with the Yanagida family, the family made a total profit of 600 kan for 4,000 stone grain, and excluding the part of Kinshiro Hirata, the family made a total profit of 480 kan." ”
"In addition, after that, the family also traded with the Yanagida family twice, and after a scattered calculation, the family made a total profit of 1,100 yuan." Ogasawara said slowly.
"Well, the relationship with the Yanagida family should be well maintained. At present, the family is unable to conduct such a large transaction with merchants from the outside world, but now with the Yanagida family's line, the family can sell the surplus grain in the territory at a good price. Soji Tsugawa said slowly.
"The money from the profit can be used to develop the territory and buy armaments, so we must maintain a good relationship with the Yanagida family and there must be no accidents." Soji Tsugawa continued.
"Yes!"
Just as Soji Tsugawa and the others were discussing, the Takahashi family outside the castle tower walked in quickly and said loudly, "My lord, Mrs. Snow is also about to give birth!" ”
"Okay, I'll go back!" Soji Tsugawa said, stood up and said to Saigo Kizo and the others, "You guys go and go about your own business first, I hope you will take responsibility for the matter of spring ploughing." ”
"Hah!"
Then, Soharu Tsugawa and Koke Takahashi returned home.
After the last Xiaolan gave birth, Tsugawa Soji paid extra attention to Yukihime's situation, and after roughly calculating the production period of Yukihime, Tsukawa Soji ordered Takahashi to invite Inagaki Goro to his home, ready to deliver Yukihime at any time. This time, Tsugawa Soji can be said to be well prepared, so after hearing the news that Yukihime was going to give birth, Tsugawa Soji did not seem to be at a loss as last time.
Not long after, Tsugawa Soji returned home, and before Tsugawa Soji could react, he heard bursts of baby crying from afar.
"Is this already raw?" Soji Tsugawa looked at the Takahashi family beside him with a sinister face.
Takahashi Xingjia nodded, but he couldn't figure out the situation.
While speaking, Tsugawa Soji walked briskly to Yukihime's room, and Inagaki Goro was already standing outside the house waiting for Tsugawa Soji.
After meeting Soji Tsugawa, Goro Inagaki said happily, "Congratulations, my lord, Mrs. Snow has one man left, and the mother and child are safe!" ”
"Haha, good!" Soji Tsugawa was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to the Takahashi family next to him, "Reward!" Rewards! If you take the doctor down to receive the reward, it's still 50 times! In addition, the maids and servants of the house are the same for everyone! ”
"Hah!"
"Thank you, sir!" Inagaki Goro said excitedly. Just kidding, in a month, Inagaki Goro got a reward of 100 kan, which is already worth several years of Inagaki Goro's income.
Of course, in addition to Inagaki Goro, the maids and servants of the Tsugawa family were also happy, and the successive rewards were enough for these people to have a good year.
Soji Tsugawa walked into the house quickly, and Yukihime was smiling stupidly as she hugged her newborn son.
"Yukihime, hard work!" Soji Tsugawa came to Yukihime's side and said happily.
Xue Ji said excitedly, "Your Highness, the concubine lived up to expectations and gave birth to a son for His Highness." The Tsugawa family finally has a successor! ”
"Yes! Xue Ji, you have done a lot of work, just say what you want, I will definitely satisfy you! Soji Tsugawa said loudly.
"The concubine wants to eat the kimchi made by His Royal Highness!" Yukihime said with a smile on her face.
"Haha! Good! Soji Tsugawa laughed and said, "But you can't just eat this, wait until I tell you to go down and get some fish soup for my Yukihime, and treat my Yukihime well." ”
"Eun!" Yukihime suddenly showed a smile on her face.
Kimchi is what Soji Tsugawa prepared last time. It was highly appreciated by Yukihime and Xiaolan when it was just made, but because there was little preparation, everyone was very economical. And Tsugawa Soji didn't have time to do more, and Tsugawa Soji planned to teach Yukihime and Xiaolan to let them do it themselves after that.
The kimchi made by Soji Tsugawa is made with water after the snow has melted, so it tastes very good, and when it comes to kimchi, even Soharu Tsugawa has left his saliva. After all, the food at this time was extremely simple, and things like kimchi, which were common in later generations, are very sought-after things now.
