Chapter 228: A Child's Way of Pleading

To be honest, Mrs. Yodo was not too angry after hearing her son say that the two children she wanted to take in as companions were orphans of the Western Army. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info better to say that after she found out, she had a little more affection for the two children who had never met.

However, the Western Army is one thing, and whether or not Hideyori goes out without permission is another. So even so, she will not stop asking her son.

"Mother, child...... And didn't go out of town. ”

In fact, I've been out more than once. While lying to his mother, Hideyori silently suffers the torment of lying in his heart. What a good boy.

"Yes. So how did you meet those children? ”

Although Hideyori herself denied going out of the city, Mrs. Yodo still had doubts.

As for the answer to this question, Xiu Lai had already discussed it with Xiu Guang, but in fact, it was still very nervous for Xiu Lai to say it in front of his mother.

"Actually...... The two children were met by Xiuzong outside. I heard from Hidemitsu that although those two children were down-and-out, they were very smart, and their father was a retainer of the Western Army...... When the child heard about it, he was very sympathetic, so he wanted them to be the child's companion. ”

This is a very standard Xiulai answer, full of compassion in kindness, so that Mrs. Yodo can't doubt it at all.

Although these words were made up in advance, if such a thing actually happened, Hideyori's mood and answer would probably be similar to the words he is saying now.

But now Mrs. Yodo has no time to lament her son's innocence, but focuses on another important point:

"What?! When did Squire Date go out? It's not like you're going to sneak around the guards and have fun again?!! ”

Xiuzong's bad habits in the past can be described as notorious. Mrs. Yodo had already come forward to teach him a lesson because of this matter. It's a pity that it's not of much use, Xiuzong's habits are still wandering, even if there is Xiugao by his side now, he can only restrain him a little.

Therefore, Xiuzong has become the best top bag character in this plan.

"That guy...... Get Ada's attendant over right now! I'm going to ask what the hell is going on! Really! What if Hidemitsu is taken by Ida's attendants!! ”

Mrs. Yodo looked extremely patient, and while she was anxious, she couldn't help but worry about the education of her youngest son.

In the past, although he was a little sick and weak in his memory, but he has always been very cheerful, Xiuguang seems to be becoming more and more gloomy and not good at communicating in the mouths of the courtiers and maids, and he doesn't like to give others a good look, could it be that he was brought bad by Xiuzong, who is a close attendant?

In short, the more Mrs. Yodo thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she thought about it. Judging by her face, it seemed that the consequences would be severe.

"Uh...... Mother, mother? I don't think so......"

How could Xiuguang be spoiled by a mere Xiuzong......

Hideyori smiled bitterly inwardly, and at the same time nervous about his mother's irritation.

Although Hidemitsu had long expected that Lady Yodo might focus on Hidemune, Hideyori didn't seem to know. He was struggling with how to calm his mother's anger.

Hey, Xiuguang...... Come on......!

The somewhat nervous Xiu Lai hurriedly adjusted his long sleeves, and while trying to make his mother stop, he silently muttered in his heart, "Brother, I can't hold it anymore!" "Xiuguang is coming! Sentences like that.

According to the script he designed with Hidemitsu before, now is the time for his younger brother to appear.

Hidemitsu didn't pit his brother, and he arrived on time after Mrs. Yodo got angry.

Well...... It's just that this "arrival" doesn't seem to be very etiquette.

"Mother-sama!!"

Hidemitsu almost ran into Mrs. Yodo's residence in a "galloping" manner. That's right, it's not an exaggeration at all. If you insist on changing it to a child's expression, then it is probably "rushing in", right?

"Hidemitsu-sama? Please stay! ”

"Lord Hideyori and Mrs. Hideyori are talking, please ...... Yes! ”

"Your Excellency, please stay ......!"

Although the maids who had temporarily retreated as required were in a hurry to stop the uninvited guest who had suddenly arrived, they had no way to stop Xiuguang, who was rampaging like a child...... Although physically it is indeed a child.

"Mother-sama!!"

Hidemitsu, who rushed into the room, shouted out to Mrs. Yodo again, and then ignored his brother Hideyori's eyes as if he had seen a ghost, and threw himself directly into his mother's arms.

"Ah...... It's Xiuguang. ”

Mrs. Yodo was not angry about this, but was a little surprised. As she picked up her youngest son and sat him on her lap, she gestured to the maids gathered outside the room and looked nervously at the maids inside.

"Xiuguang, what's wrong? Mother is talking to your brother right now. ”

As soon as Xiuguang came, Mrs. Yodo's anger dropped significantly, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Mother! I heard that you are going to punish Xiuzong? Don't! Xiuzong didn't do anything bad! ”

Deliberately using the coquettish tone of a child that is usually impossible to make, Xiuguang plunged into Mrs. Yodo's arms and begged her mother not to punish Xiuzong.

"'Do you want to bring those two children of the Western Army back to the city to be read together' This matter is also proposed by me to my brother, don't blame my brother! Of course, Xiuzong is not wrong! ”

While being coquettish, Xiuguang did not forget to clear up the mistakes that were made on his brother and Xiuzong.

"Xiuguang, it's not my mother who said anything, it's just that Ada's attendant didn't go out of the city once or twice, right? Moreover, Xiulai wants to accept a scholar and a companion to read, so he can't be so casual, right? ”

Lady Yodo, who was giggling teasingly, took the hand of Xiuguang sitting on her lap and waved it playfully a few times.

"Please! Mother-sama! Isn't it just to take a few companions to read~ And those people are also the sons of the former Toyotomi retainers, right? Mother~ Please! It's not a big deal, right? ”

It's a completely childlike way of requesting. There are no surprises in selling cuteness and coquettishness. Only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without Xiuguang.

Seeing that his mother's attitude was vague and she refused to let go of Xiuzong, Xiuguang chose to continue to lie down in her mother's arms and be coquettish.

Hawkers, although it's a little too coquettish, there is still a reason. Xiu Lai wants to accept a few small surnames to read, which is indeed not a big deal. In the end, at most, he will only verbally punish Xiuzong.

…… Elder brother, hurry up and ask for it!

While being coquettish, Xiuguang also secretly gave a few glances to his brother, who was speechless about his performance, and motioned for him to ask with him.

"Oh, oh!"

Xiu Lai suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and also approached his mother, Mrs. Yodo, and hurriedly pleaded:

"Please, mother. The child is very sympathetic to the plight of those two children, and they are also orphans of the Western Army, and the child really wants to take them as companions! ”

After he got closer, he gently grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes, and a pure face came in handy at this time, making people feel that they couldn't bear to reject him.

The actions of the two brothers made Mrs. Yodo seem very troubled. On the one hand, I want to punish Xiuzong harshly, and then strictly review the two children that Xiu Lai wants to take as companions, but on the other hand, as a mother, I can't bear to refuse these two children. It's really embarrassing.
