Chapter 111: The People of the Kamiya Family

Jeon Deng's eyes squinted slightly after listening to the girl's words, intending to ask for Hidemitsu's opinion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hidemitsu finished thinking in a short time, nodded slightly, and signaled that he agreed.

"Okay. Then please Miss to show us the way. ”

Jeon Deng also reacted immediately after receiving the instruction and replied to the girl.

“…… Ching Hai, let's go first. I'll be back to you when it's settled. ”

"Oh, go, go, go. If you can't solve it, you can come back to us. ”

Xiuguang got up and patted Qing Hai's thick shoulder by the way.

In this way, after greeting Qinghai and Yisan, Hidemitsu and his party followed the girl who claimed to be the "daughter of the Kamiya family" and her subordinates, left the still lively port, and went to the Kamiya in her mouth together.

To be honest, when Xiuguang heard the word "God House", he was surprised and a little happy.

First of all, let's introduce this "god house".

The god house in the girl's mouth is nothing more than Hakata's wealthy merchant god house in the past.

The Kamiya family has a long history, and it is also a family of talented people. Shouzhen, the great-grandfather of the current lord Zong Zhan, was one of the early diggers and discoverers of Iwami Ginzan, and was the first person to introduce the ash blowing method for development and excavation in Hinomoto.

The current head of the Kamiya family, named Kamiya Zhenqing, changed his name to Zong Zhan after becoming a monk. He met Nobunaga in Kamiraku in the 10th year of Tensho (1582) and received a policy of protection promised by Nobunaga. However, the matter was stopped by Nobunaga's death a few months later.

Later, he went to meet Hideyoshi, who had already mastered the power of the world, and was recognized by Hideyoshi, and also received the privileges of a wealthy merchant and the guarantee of "the first person to be a Hakata merchant". After that, the Kamiya family also provided Hideyoshi with a lot of financial assistance, and became a veritable wealthy businessman.

However, after Hideyoshi's death, the Kamiya family was snubbed by Tokugawa Ieyasu. And now, after the Battle of Sekigahara, they have become the royal merchants of the Kuroda family.

This is the Kamiya family, a wealthy merchant in Hakata.

The reason why Hidemitsu is happy is because in the letter of introduction written to him by Rusui, there is the name of the god house.

Hawkers, actually, Xiuguang doesn't just rejoice because of the letter of introduction.

In fact, at a time like this, casually entering and exiting a wealthy merchant like the Kamiya family will always be suspicious from certain forces. Although the Tokugawa family has no intention of taking care of the affairs of Kyushu now, the Oga family, who are also Hakata wealthy merchants, is rumored to be one of the eyes and ears of the Tokugawa family in Kyushu.

Therefore, the current Kyushu is still very dangerous for Hidemitsu and them.

And now that he has the legitimate name of Xiuzong's "debt", and he was invited in, he is not easy to be suspicious, so that his identity and whereabouts are exposed.

It can be said that Xiuzong, who caused trouble and then caused debts, was a major contributor to this matter.

It's amazing!

Xiuguang couldn't help but want to praise Xiuzong like this.

Well done! It's a good time for Hyogoro! I have lived up to the name of the Date family!

However, the person concerned, Xiuzong, looked confused, and he didn't know why His Royal Highness suddenly had a 180-degree change in aura, and he actually smiled at himself.

It's a little creepy. Xiuzong shivered while calculating his fortune for a month that he didn't know how many months he would be deducted.

Led by the girl, Hidemitsu and his party soon arrived at the Kamiya family's shop in the middle of the more prosperous streets and alleys of Hakatatsunai.

"Help me call my grandfather."

"Yes."

The girl brought Hidemitsu and her party into the store and asked them to sit down and wait.

In this gap, Xiuguang probe glanced at the interior of the god house.

Oh, there's a Luzon pot. Is that a harpsichord? Oh, it seems to be Ming's porcelain! Eh, what's that?

Hidemitsu looked at the Kamiya with many strange things and goods, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, the Kamiya family deserved to be a wealthy merchant who had been engaged in foreign trade for generations.

Xiuzong and Xiujia's reactions were not much different from Xiuguang's, and they looked amazed. Although the Xiu family had also come into contact with a lot of these rare treasures from outside during Taiko Hideyoshi's lifetime, they had never seen so many at one time. And Xiuzong is even less so.

Quan Deng was better, as if he was used to it, and he didn't react so much. After all, Quanden had communicated with Catholic merchants in the past and still is, and he had seen more of these things than the average person.

"That's right."

Just as Xiuguang and the others were looking around, the girl who looked like a Westerner spoke.

"Forgot to introduce yourself. My name is 'Kaede', the maple of the maple tree. ”

"Oooh......"

Hidemitsu and the others introduced themselves in turn under pseudonyms.

"By the way, looking at the young lady's appearance, could it be someone from Nanban?"

Quan Deng asked this question on behalf of everyone.

"Oh no! My mother is the daughter of the Kamiya family. ”

When the girl heard Quan Deng mention this question, she didn't have the slightest intention of evading it,

"But my father is from there."

"I see."

I see. According to modern parlance, the girl Kaede is a mixed-race child. Xiuguang thought so.

"Kaede! What's wrong with you? ”

At this time, an old man's helpless voice came from the door on the other side, and then he opened the door and walked in.

"Grandfather!"

Seeing the arrival of the old man, Kaede immediately greeted him.

The old man looked to be in his fifties, but he wasn't too old. His brow was full of businessman's shrewdness, as well as the helplessness and kindness of a grandfather.

"Oh, Kaede, what's wrong with you little bastard this time? It's late at night, and they called me over. ”

"Grandfather! I didn't have an accident! I made a lot of money this time! ”

"Huh? Earned? ”

The old man was a little surprised and confused. He turned his head and saw the Xiuguang people sitting on the side.

"Who are these?"

"Grandfather! These people are here to negotiate! ”

"Huh? Negotiate? Negotiate what? Did you commit anything again? ”

"It's not! I said it wasn't me who had an accident! Grandfather! ”

Kaede looked very angry, while the old man looked very nervous.

The grandfather and granddaughter feel inexplicably similar in some ways.

"Grandfather! When I was at a party by the harbor, I gambled with this kid a few times, and I made a lot of money. Now they're coming over and they're going to talk to us about the specifics. ”

Kaede said as he pointed at Xiuzong, who had shrunk up.

And the old man's reaction was like this:

"What? You're gambling again? Hey, my little ancestor, can you let me, an old fellow, save some snacks! ”

"Grandfather, your focus is not right!"

The old man held his forehead and staggered, looking half-dead.

“…… Ahem, ahem. ”

After a while, the old man finally regained his composure.

He walked slowly to the front of Xiuguang and his party and sat down.

"Ahem, I am Zong Zhan, the current head of the Shenwu family...... I wonder what you want to do? ”
