Outside Ueno City, in a small mountain village in Xionghe Township, hundreds of people were gathering at the entrance of the village at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two Tsugawa family's ashigaru posted a notice full of letters on the "notice board" at the entrance of the village, and then turned and left.

After Ashigaru left, the farmers, who had been afraid to speak out, began to become active.

"Village chief, is what those two adults said just now true?" An honest farmer, whose face was still covered with dust, showed an ugly smile and asked excitedly.

An old man standing at the front of the crowd turned around and said excitedly, "The notices of the Tsugawa family have come out, and they are indeed true." ”

"That's great!"

"Doesn't that mean that our daughter is likely to marry a samurai master?"

"yes!"

The old man nodded, and then continued, "Anyway, this is indeed good news for us farmers. If you have a woman of school age in your family, you can come to me next, and according to the notice that each village can choose a woman to go to Ueno Castle. ”

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

................

Tsugawa Castle, the original castle town, was slightly depressed with the development of Ueno Castle and has lost its former glory, but it is still very prosperous compared to other castles.

In a yashiki, a man in a Wu costume was excitedly saying to his daughter in front of him, "Yoshiko, don't you also want to marry a samurai like your sister Haruko?" Now's your chance! ”

"Your brother-in-law, Shinzaburo Nakata, wrote that Tsugawa-sama was about to personally act as a matchmaker to choose a mate for the samurai in the family. The date is set for February 8th, so hurry up and prepare, such a good opportunity will be missed and it will be gone! The man said with a smile on his face.

"Yes! Father! The woman named Yoshiko also said excitedly, and her pretty little face was full of longing and joy.

Heite Uemon is really in high spirits at this time, since following Hirata Kinshiro to hug the thigh of the Tsugawa family. Not only is his Yuyeba business getting better and better, but he has also opened several izakaya in Minato Castle, Hiyama Castle, Ueno Castle, Tsugawa Castle and other places. Recently, I also got on Yoshino Yoshino's thick thighs, and it is not too easy to earn thousands of kans every year.

What makes Hirate Uemon the most proud is that he married his daughter Haruko to Shinzaburo Nakata. Originally, I thought that Nakata Shinzaburo had no future as a farmer, but who would have thought that Nakata Shinzaburo would become a samurai of the Tsugawa family, a position of ashigaru. Although he is not high, the status of a samurai is enough to add a lot of glory to the face of Herate Uemon.

When he thinks of his "wise" decision, Hirate Uemon is extremely proud. Of course, the initial disdain for Shinzaburo Nakata was selectively forgotten by Terate Uemon.

And now the Tsugawa family is going to choose a wife for the samurai, which makes the Heite Emon, who has tasted the sweetness, actively respond to the call of the Tsugawa family and decide to send the youngest daughter over to participate. With his daughter's appearance and his own support, he will definitely succeed.

Kanazawa Castle, inside the castle tower.

Tozawa Masashige also gathered the school-age women in the family, and his wife Masaki Tozawa sat next to Tozawa Masashige, and the wrinkles on his face also appeared with a smile, but Amatsu didn't care.

"I, Masashige Tozawa, have no children in my life, only Ame and Aju are your two daughters. Aju already has a marriage contract with Moriyoshi (Tozawa Moriyoshi, the son of Tozawa Moritsuna, and the general of Ashigaru Tazawa Castle), so this time Ame has to seize the opportunity! Tozawa said solemnly to the daughter in front of him.

"Yes! Father! Amei hurriedly said respectfully.

The sorrow of the daughter of the samurai family is reflected here, the marriage is completely autonounous, and what the lord says is what it is.

As a mother, Ah Song also said happily, "In a blink of an eye, Ah Song is also getting married, I am really reluctant." ”

"Mother.........." Ah Mei and Ah Ju had red eyes, and they were also reluctant.

"Husband, then again, which adult should Ah Mei marry at that time?" Ah Song suddenly asked at this time.

Tozawa Masashige was also stunned, yes, he just thought that his daughter was going to marry the samurai in the family, but who to marry?

"What's a good candidate for Madame?" Tozawa Masashige continued at this time.

Ah Song smiled and said, "The concubine is a woman's family, and the concubine doesn't know anything about major matters, Ah Song only hopes that my Ah Mei can marry an excellent samurai." It doesn't matter if he's the head of the Ashigaru Shogun or the head of the Ashigaru group, as long as he treats my daughter sincerely, I'll be relieved. After speaking, Ah Song doted on Ah Mei in front of him, with indescribable warmth.

"Humph! Sure enough, it's a woman's family! Could it be that a little leader samurai is also worthy of marrying the daughter of my Tozawa Masashige? Tozawa Masashige snorted coldly, and said unhappily, "My son-in-law of Tozawa Masashige must at least be a general of Ashigaru!" ”

"I see, among the samurai in the family, the first choice must be Miki-sama. Lord Miki is an important minister of the family, the lord of Yodogawa Castle, and the commander of the five colors. The most important thing is that Miki-sama is still young, and his achievements in the future are bound to be limitless. ”

"Again, it has to be like Sagi-sama and Yagyu-sama, so it's the most beneficial for my Tozawa family!" Masasa Tozawa said loudly.

"Since the husband has said so, then everything is according to what the husband said. Alas......... "Ah Song wanted to say something, but when he saw the frost on Tozawa Masashige's face, he had to sigh and give up.

"Ame, during this time, you can go to Kanazawa Village to visit Miki-sama's uncle's family. In addition, Miki-sama's younger brother Kojiro is now the leader of our Kanazawa Castle samurai, so you can get closer to them more. ”

"In addition, the biological mother of the lord (Takewakamaru) is the side room of the main hall, and you can send a gift to Mrs. Ju in the name of the lord, please ask Mrs. Ju to say a few more words for Ame in front of the lord, and this matter will be handed over to Atsu. If I can really make Miki-sama my son-in-law Tozawa Masashige, then my Tozawa family can sit back and relax, haha! After Tozawa finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, father (husband)!" Ah Song and Ah Mei glanced at each other and replied helplessly.

However, although Tozawa attaches great importance to the status and identity of Miki Naogo, but these factors aside, Miki Naogo is indeed the standard diamond king in the Tsugawa family. Even if he is dissatisfied with Tozawa's attitude, he is also satisfied with Miki Naogo's choice of Amatsu and Ame.

As the news continued to spread, the entire Tsugawa family, near the vicinity of Ueno Castle, as far as Akita County, Yukatsu County and other places fell into the wave of "beauty pageants".

And the wealthy families belonging to the Tsugawa family were overjoyed one by one after learning the news, and they left for Ueno Castle to pay homage to Tsugawa Soji, and by the way, they visited the families who stayed in Ueno Castle as hostages, and by the way, they had a good "face-to-face teaching" to prepare their daughters in advance. Of course, the last one is the point.
