Xiukang's voice trembled, as if he couldn't believe it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"My lord, in fact, this letter secretly sent by the Toyotomi family arrived two days ago, but because the retainers sent by Ieyasu-sama are keeping an eye on us as always, it has only been delivered to you now, so please read it slowly. I'll stand down and stand guard outside the door for you. ”

Fu Zheng saluted Xiuyasu, and then retreated outside the sliding door to wait.

Xiukang calmed his mood a little, took a deep breath, lit the oil lamp, and unfolded the thick letter paper.

Yu Yiyi Jingqi:

Thanks to you, Hidetaka and Mrs. Hidetaka left that place safely, so first of all, let me say thank you. Also, Ah Hao didn't know that I had fled, and I heard that she was very sad about the death of my father and son, so she decided to leave home. For various reasons I can't tell her the fact that I'm safe, so if you can, please comfort her a little bit for me so that she doesn't hurt herself because of our death.

The three of us, father and son, are doing well under the protection of Hidemitsu-sama. Now that his body has almost recovered, Hidetaka still learns kendo every day under an old timer of the Toyotomi family, and Koheita still likes to read as usual.

The Toyotomi family is very lively now, and there are many young children who have been gradually discovered, such as the Hidemune of the Date family, and the Honcho of the Oda family, you should have seen them, and it is estimated that they will become the pillars of the Toyotomi family in the future.

In other words, these practices of Lord Xiuguang really reminded me of His Royal Highness Taiko, at that time, His Royal Highness Taiko was also surrounded by a group of children who would become pillars in the future. However, I personally think that although Hidemitsu-sama is like Taiko-sama in terms of means, he is a bit like Oda Right Minister in terms of momentum and appearance, ah, you shouldn't have seen Oda Right Minister, I saw it a few times when I was a child, and he was a very heroic and awe-inspiring adult. As soon as I said that, I remembered that Mrs. Yodo seems to be the niece of the right minister of Oda, so it's not surprising that Hidemitsu-sama looks like the right minister. ”

Under the yellowing light of the oil lamp, Xiukang watched Xiujia keep gossiping in the letter, and the corners of his originally stiff mouth slowly curled, and his cough seemed to have eased a lot.

"Speaking of which, how's it going on over there? Are you okay? I heard that you seem to have some kind of illness, and you keep coughing. You have to take good care of your body, the body is the capital of everything, and when you die, you have nothing. Don't be too tired of the territory affairs, share some of it with Genshiro, hasn't he been very good at these since before.

Also, How is Nagayoshimaru's body? How's it going? Healthy or unhealthy? Let's hope he grows up healthy.

That's all I can ask, take care of yourself.

Hachiro Shu's family book. ”

Xiukang read the last word of the letter sent by the Xiu family, and breathed a sigh of relief gently.

Hideyasu's letter didn't mention anything about the time of the Sekigahara War, which made Hideyasu feel a little less guilty over the years.

After reading it, she didn't know how much better, and she felt that the pain in her whole body had disappeared without a trace.

Xiukang immediately picked up the pen and wrote a reply to Xiujia with a happy mood and brushstrokes. Then he called Fu Zheng, who had been guarding the door, in and handed him the letter he had just written.

"By the way, Tomimasa, did Nagayoshimaru sleep? If you haven't slept yet, call him over. ”

"Yes, sir."

Fu Zheng nodded and walked out of the room.

But soon, Xiukang heard the voice of Fu Zheng and another person outside the door.

"Tsuru-sama, why are you here?"

"Fuzheng, I want to meet Master Xiuyasu, can you let me in?"

"Okay, I'll go and report to the adults."

Xiukang heard their conversation, so he shouted out the door:

"Ah He, come in!"

The sliding door was pulled open, and the handsome man named "Tsuru" walked in.

"What's the matter, Ah He, are you still here so late?"

"My lord, I have something to tell you."

This man named "Crane" is the adopted son of the head of the Summing Up Castle family, Yuki Harumao, and the main room of Xiuyasu, and the relationship between the two has always been very good.

Xiukang asked Fu Zheng to step back first and talked to Tsuru alone.

"What's the matter?"

"First of all, congratulations to His Excellency Prime Minister Bizen for his successful escape."

"Ah He, how did you know about this?!"

Hideyasu was very surprised by the congratulations of the crane. Although there is no need to worry that he will tell the Tokugawa family because the relationship between the two is very good, how did Tsuru find out that she was related to the Xiu family? Xiukang was puzzled.

"My lord, I actually saw Fu Zheng receive that secret letter two days ago. And then today Tomimasa sneaked into your study while the retainers sent by Edo were away, so I guess that's what happened. ”

Tsuru explained the situation to Xiuyasu, and then whispered in Xiuyasu's ear:

“…… I want to call Nagayoshimaru over and tell him about those things. ”

“……？！ Are you serious...... Could it be a little too early? Also, if you do, he's not your child......"

"It's time to make it clear to the kid, who's ten years old. …… Also, no matter what, after all, that child was raised by me, at least in my heart, it will always be my child. Please don't worry about these things. ”

Tsuru said this with a smile. Hearing these words of the crane, Xiuyasu fell silent.

In the past, when she inherited the Yuuki family, she had told Tsuru a lot of things. Tsuru is a very good person, he can tolerate her in everything, and the relationship between the two is also very harmonious. Xiukang will tell him many melancholy and troubled things. Over time, the two said that they were husband and wife, but they were more like close friends who could talk. So, Tsuru knows a lot about Xiukang and understands what she is thinking.

However, no matter how good the relationship is, it is not that feeling, and it can't reach that kind of feeling.

"I see, I've asked Tomimasa to go and call Nagayoshimaru over. …… Also, all these years, you have worked hard. ”

"No, I'm glad to meet an adult."

Tsuru smiled generously and patted Xiukang on the shoulder, telling her not to blame herself too much.

At this moment, the footsteps of children were heard outside the door.

"Mother, is there anything you did when you asked Nagayoshimaru to come over? Huh? Father is here, too? ”

Nagayoshimaru, who was brought over by Fuzheng, sat down in front of Hideyasu and coquettishly at her.

"Fuzheng, I have to trouble you to stay outside for a while."

Tsuru said to Tomisho, who nodded and closed the sliding door.

"Nagayoshimaru, my mother called you over tonight, in fact, there are some very important things I want to tell you."

"Huh? What's going on? ”

Nagayoshimaru was puzzled by what his mother Hideyasu said.

"Nagayoshimaru, can you promise that your father and mother will never say anything?"

Tsuru smiled and touched Nagayoshimaru's head.

"Hmmm! I know! Nagayoshimaru will never say it! ”

Nagayoshimaru staggered and agreed.

Xiuyasu and Tsuru looked at each other and smiled, then spoke.

"Well, let's start a long time ago, well, probably from the 12th year of Tensho (1584)......"

It's late at night, but the lights in the study room of Kitanosho Castle have not been extinguished for a long time, as if they are telling something from the past.
