Li Chang just ate a few snacks very casually, and then put down the bamboo skewers in his hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If it was before, he would usually eat everything his sister had prepared. The reason why I eat so little now is probably because of my lack of appetite caused by illness.

However, according to the resolute statement of Richaga himself, the reason why the amount of food is getting smaller and smaller is because it is no longer the era when you need to tense your nerves all the time, dare not relax a little, and prepare for the battlefield.

His recklessness was quickly seen through by his sister Haoji, and then he was well criticized.

"Brother, you are really. It's obviously not in good health, but it's still strong. Brother, you have to take good care of your illness, both physically and mentally conditioned. ”

When he heard the word "mental condition" from Hao Ji's mouth, Li Chang also thought of the Xiu family, so he said to her with some apologies:

"Ah Hao, you also have to pay attention to your physical and mental state. …… The affairs of Ukita adults and children seem to have hit you hard. ”

After a sigh, he continued:

"I also have some responsibility for this...... If I had been willing to protect Ukita-sama, Ahao, you wouldn't have been heartbroken at that time. and Xiu Gao Xiuji is also ...... I could have sheltered those children in secret, but I didn't......"

"No...... Elder Brother ......"

Looking at her brother with a sad expression on her face, Hao Ji didn't know what to say.

Hao Ji didn't expect her brother Li Chang to take the initiative to mention the matter of her husband Xiu's family.

To be honest, she doesn't blame her brother, after all, because her brother was thinking about the position and interests of the Maeda family at that time, there was nothing wrong, and it could even be said to be a wise choice.

What's more, now that she knows the news that her husband and children are alive, she naturally won't be half dissatisfied with her brother Lichang.

Because she knew that her husband and children were fine, Hao Ji couldn't respond to Li Chang's words in time.

Faced with his sister's sudden silence, Li Chang mistakenly thought that she was secretly angry, so he comforted her a few more times:

"Ah Hao, just take care of your body now, don't hurt yourself too much for this matter, if you can't take care of yourself, presumably the spirit of Lord Ukita in the sky will not be happy."

Hao Ji still didn't reply after hearing this, but nodded solemnly.

Xiugao, who was pretending to be a maid in the back, was a little moved after hearing the words of his uncle Richaga. However, due to the occasion, it was not able to show it.

"I see. Elder Brother ...... You too, take care of your body. And there's been a bad voice coming from Kanazawa lately, right? ”

Hao Ji mentioned the matter of those retainers asking for themselves when he was in Kanazawa Castle,

"When I was in Kanazawa, a retainer from Toshimitsu secretly came to me and asked me to ask my brother what you thought about the inheritance of the Maeda family. Those retainers are really worried about your brother, you regret passing on the position of family governor to Liguang. ”

"Ah, I've heard about it, too."

Unexpectedly, the governor seems to know that there is such a thing,

"Not surprising. For the sake of the stability of the Maeda family, it is natural for them to worry about this kind of thing. It's just that I pity my Aman, who has to endure so much talk as soon as he is born. ”

Speaking of his daughter, who was not yet a year old, a rare gentle smile appeared on his face.

Lichang's daughter, as he called Manji, was his only and only biological daughter he had when he was forty-four years old. He had several formal adopted sons and daughters, but the birth of his own daughter undoubtedly made him happy.

Although the relationship between Richo and Masamoto Eihime is good, they have never had children. Manhime was the child he had with a local woman after he came to Echichu. It is said that he almost cried tears of joy when he heard the news, and kept repeating to his retainers, "Aman is a gift from heaven."

"Ah Hao, you haven't hugged Ah Man yet, have you? Come! Go and pick up Aman. ”

After being depressed for a while, Li Chang's mood returned to its original mildness, and even some excitement,

"Let me tell you, Ah Hao, Ah Man can climb now. I heard from my nurse that Aman now likes to crawl around the room, and once even climbed from one end of the corridor to the other. ”

At the mention of children, the anger on Li Chang's body seems to be a little stronger.

The nurse carefully carried a baby into the room and put her in the crook of her long arm.

"Aman, it's my father~"

Richo looks more careful than the nurse. He grinned a few times at the man in his arms, and as if he had heard his call, he opened his small eyes a little slit and muttered a fat little face.

Hidemitsu sat behind Haoji, some distance away from Li Chang and the baby in his arms. However, because of his better eyesight, he also clearly saw the appearance of Man Ji.

He raised his eyes as best he could, looking in the direction of Mihime. Her appearance is quite unusual for Xiuguang, who has not seen a baby a few times.

It turns out that everyone is so petite when they are babies. Although I knew that babies were petite, I didn't expect to be petite to this extent. Xiuguang looked at Mitsuhime's appearance, and her eyes flashed with curiosity.

And whether it is the cheeks or the lips, they look round, exuding a soft atmosphere, which is very cute.

"Ah Hao, hug it too. Aman, this is Aunt Hao~"

After teasing Manhime twice, he carefully handed her into Haohime's hands. As if he was afraid of damaging some precious treasure, Hao Ji carefully took Man Ji and held her in his arms.

"It's so cute...... The nose is exactly the same as that of the elder brother. ”

Ho Ji laughed when she saw Man Ji's small nose.

The feeling of a small child being soft to pick up. Hao Ji recalled the time when she used to put Xiugao to sleep, and it seemed that the feeling in her arms was the same.

"Yes, my Aman is very cute, and his body is very soft."

Li Chang stroked the beard above his lips, a little proud. But after a while, his mood began to feel a little low again.

"Brother?"

Haoji, who was hugging Manhime, noticed the change in her brother's mood and was a little puzzled.

"It's a pity. For the sake of the stability of the Maeda family, I had to give Aman to the retainer as an adopted daughter. If they don't, the retainers will probably still be suspicious. If Aman had been the adopted daughter of another family, he would not have threatened the status of Ape Chiyo. ”

Richaga sighed again and said.

He gently held Manji's immature little hand, and there was reluctance in his eyes.

Xiuguang looked at the benefits of this feeling, and he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the cautious and even a little cold Kaga Prime Minister Maeda Toshinaga also has such tender feelings in his heart.
