Kanazawa Village is one of many villages in Kanazawa Township, located under a hill in the eastern part of Kanazawa Castle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kanazawa Village has a small population of just over 100 people, and the villagers make a living from farming, sometimes fishing and hunting in the mountains.

Sasuke is one of many poor farmers in Kanazawa Village, with two sons who have grown up. The eldest son, Taro, was frail and had been recuperating at home, while the second son, Kojiro, followed Sasuke to do farm work, and in his spare time he also went to nearby Kanazawa Castle to participate in the training of peasant soldiers.

Although there is no salary for being a peasant soldier, there are rations during the training, which also indirectly reduces the burden on the family.

It was afternoon, and Sasuke and Kojiro had just come out of the house to do some farm work in the fields. As soon as he walked out of the village, he saw a team of dozens of people, looking at the neatly arranged Tsugawa family Ashigaru in front of him, and among them there was a man dressed as a samurai, Sasuke knew that a big man had come to Kanazawa Village.

Although I don't know why a big man would come to a remote village like Kanazawa Village, these problems are not Sasuke's concern. Sasuke hurriedly pulled Kojiro to the side, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look directly at the comer.

As a peasant, you must bow your head when you see a samurai, and if you dare to raise your head, a samurai can directly kill a peasant.

Sasuke didn't see Ran walking in front, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't recognize Ran. After all, Xiaolan's current temperament and appearance are no longer the same as the one she lived in Sasuke's house before. He was wearing an extremely gorgeous kimono, and his temperament had changed gorgeously after two years of cultivation.

Although Sasuke didn't see Ran, Ran, who was walking at the front of the crowd, recognized Sasuke at a glance.

Sasuke worked as a farmer when he was young, and his right leg was injured and he limped when he walked, and Xiaolan remembers it vividly.

Xiaolan strode to Sasuke's side, ignoring Sasuke, who was covered in mud, grabbed Sasuke's hand and said excitedly, "Uncle! ”

Sasuke looked up at the noble-looking Yukihime in front of him with a confused face, and said puzzledly, "This lady, who are you?" ”

Xiaolan hurriedly said, "Uncle, I'm Xiaolan." ”

"Xiaolan?" Sasuke was puzzled for a moment, and then said excitedly, "You're Xiaolan!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Xiaolan nodded heavily.

Sasuke hurriedly said happily, "Haha, I didn't expect you to be Xiaolan, it's really unbelievable." ”

"Xiaolan, why did you come back? Who are those people in the back? Sasuke asked curiously.

Xiaolan hurriedly said, "Uncle, the people behind me are all protecting my ashigaru, and I came back this time to see my uncle." ”

"Protecting you?" Sasuke looked at the neat and neat ashigaru behind Xiaolan, and asked puzzledly, "Xiaolan, the one behind is the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family." I heard that you are a maid in Liuxiang, did you come with that lady? Sasuke turned his gaze to Yukihime to the side.

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Uncle, I am now the lady of the side room of the Tsugawa family, and that is the lady of the main room, Mrs. Xue, and we are here together this time." ”

"What! Lady of the side room? Sasuke said loudly, "Is this true? ”

"Of course it's true!" Xiaolan said funny.

Sasuke hurriedly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Sasuke, a farmer from Kanazawa Village, has seen Madame. Kojiro on the side saw his father kneeling down and hurriedly followed him to kneel and salute. Kojiro was also a farmer in Kanazawa Castle, and he had a sense of belonging to the Tsugawa family. At present, the lady of the Tsugawa family appeared in front of his eyes, and kneeling down to salute was already a conditioned reflex.

Xiaolan hurriedly pulled Sasuke and Kojiro, who were kneeling on the ground, up and said, "Uncle, you don't have to be like this. ”

"Yes, Xiaolan, you are now a samurai lady, and I, a peasant, should salute." Assistant Sa's words should have been said, and Kojiro on the side also nodded in agreement.

Xiaolan pretended to be angry and said, "Uncle, no matter what, Xiaolan is still Xiaolan, you are still Xiaolan's uncle." Don't bow again, or I'll be angry." ”

"Good!" Sasuke looked at Xiaolan with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "It's worthy of being the children of our Miki family, haha, my brother should be satisfied if he has a spirit in the sky!" ”

"Let's go, let's go home and let my uncle talk to Xiaolan well." Sasuke said hurriedly.

Xiaolan smiled and nodded, then came to Xue Ji and said, "Xue Ji, let's go, let's go to my uncle's house and sit down." ”

Xue Ji shook her head and said with a smile, "I won't go, this is for you to catch up with your relatives, so I'll take a walk outside the village." Xue Ji didn't want to disturb Xiaolan and her relatives to catch up, after all, it would inevitably be a little embarrassing if she was there. In addition, before Yukihime married Soji Tsugawa, she had been staying in Dongxiang City and rarely came out to relax. After marrying Soji Tsugawa, I've been in Tsugawa Castle all the time.,It's also a pleasure to be able to come out and walk around Yukihime this time.。 Let Xiaolan handle such an occasion.

"Alright then!" Xiaolan was not reluctant, so she followed Sasuke and the others into Kanazawa Village, and Yukihime called two ashigaru to follow Xiaolan and then took the rest of the people to prepare to walk around.

Ran followed Sasuke and Kojiro back to Sasuke's house, which was in a corner of Kanazawa Village, and the house was dilapidated and not large. When they were young, Xiaolan and Miki Naogo were crammed into a small utility room.

Things are not people, and now returning to this dilapidated room again made Xiaolan almost cry when she touched the scene.

Sasuke asked Kojiro to greet Ran and then yelled loudly into the house, "Ame, come out and see who's coming." ”

Sasuke's wife, Ame, was doing housework in the house at this time, and only came out after hearing Sasuke's voice, and said impatiently, "Sasuke, didn't you go out to work, why did you come back again?" ”

Sasuke's wife, Amei, is a woman in her thirties, and she is still quite good-looking, with a somewhat ruddy complexion, and she can't tell that she is a peasant woman from the countryside.

"Huh! Who is this lady? Ame walked out and saw the dazzling Xiaolan in the room at a glance, and looked at Sasuke in confusion and said.

Sasuke hurriedly walked to Amei's side and said excitedly, "Amei, it's Xiaolan, Xiaolan is back." ”

"Xiaolan?" Amei looked at Xiaolan suspiciously, and then said, "She's Xiaolan?" ”

"That's right! Xiaolan is now the lady of the side room of the Tsugawa family! Sasuke said with a smile on his face.

"Really?" Amei also let out an exclamation and said in disbelief: "Xiaolan, have you really become a samurai lady?" ”

"Hmm." Xiaolan nodded slightly, compared to Sasuke, Xiaolan had a very bad impression of her uncle, so she naturally didn't show much enthusiasm.

Ah Mei didn't care and said, "Oh, Xiaolan, you are now a samurai lady, and you are also the side room lady of the Tsugawa family, which is really good!" ”

"Xiaolan, is there anything wrong with coming back this time?"

Xiaolan replied slowly, "I came to see my uncle and Taro this time, I haven't seen even Kojiro grow so big for many years." By the way, what about Taro? ”

"Hey, you know Taro's situation, he's been sick all year long, and he's still resting in the house." Sasuke said with a sigh.

Xiaolan looked at Kojiro, who was restrained on the side, and then said with a smile, "Kojiro, what are you doing now?" ”

Kojiro looked at Sasuke on the side, and then said, "Sister Xiaolan, I take care of the fields with my father at home, and sometimes I go to Kanazawa Castle to participate in peasant training. ”

Amei on the side hurriedly scolded, "Kojiro, what is your sister, Xiaolan can now honor the lady of the Tsugawa family, how can she directly call Mrs. Madame?" ”

Kojiro hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, Xiaolan smiled and said, "It's okay, Kojiro is my younger brother, what is my sister's name if my brother calls me?" ”

Saying that, Xiaolan looked at Kojiro with a smile on her face, and then said with a smile, "Kojiro, do you want to be a samurai?" ”
