Chapter 167: Complicated Things Are Hard to Solve
"Did the maid named Icha really treat you like this?"
After listening to this, Xiuguang asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's true! I still remember her face vividly! If it weren't for the fact that she was seven or eight years older than Chiyoho and that Chihime-sama told me not to conflict with her, I would have gone up and fought that woman a long time ago! ”
Looks like he's really angry.
After seeing Chiyobo's rare angry look, Hidemitsu felt that this should be true, so he chose to believe her.
If that's the case, then Chihime is really pitiful. But it seems that he can't reprimand the maid Yicha's actions.
Xiuguang frowned, and suddenly felt that this kind of thing was so troublesome and difficult to sort out.
After Chiyoho finished complaining, he inadvertently glanced at the meal that he had just started to put aside.
"Ahh I almost forgot! ”
She almost jumped,
"I'm sorry! Hidemitsu-sama! I forgot to hurry up and deliver food to Chihime-sama! Chihime-sama doesn't like food that's cooled! Then the little girl is one step ahead~"
After picking up the food plate from the ground and walking a few steps quickly, Chiyobo turned his head and added,
"That's right, by the way, please help me say hello to Master Shang~ That adult is getting more and more handsome~"
After dropping these unexplained words, Chiyoho staggered out of the hallway.
Looking at her swaying appearance, Xiuguang was really worried about the safety of the meals in her hands. However, the meal on Chiyo Ho's hand is quite stable, and it doesn't look like it is being held in the hands of a rickety person at all.
"That guy is still long...... When ......"
Xiuzong next to him also issued the same unclear words.
Xiuguang shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know anything.
"Well, I'm glad I met Chiyobo."
Xiuguang smiled,
"It feels like suddenly things are clear."
"That little girl is really good at making a fool of himself."
After seeing Chiyobo's various performances, Xiuzong also crossed his arms in a helpless manner.
"Now it seems that it must be the maid named 'Yicha', right?"
Xiuguang looked at Xiuzong. Xiuzong also nodded in agreement.
"Hmph, I didn't expect Hideyori-sama to be quite popular."
Xiuzong curled the corners of his mouth and looked in the direction of Xiuyori's room in a teasing tone.
"Well...... After all, the elder brother has a good personality, and he is not bad-looking. ”
When he said this, Xiuguang remembered what the Great Tibetan Secretary Bureau had told the two brothers before.
"Lord Xiulai, he looks a little like Lord Nagamasa back then!"
At that time, the Great Treasury Bureau said with a smile.
The Nagamasa here is not some annoying Oda Nagamasa, but the former Omi daimyo Shinkuro Asai Nagamasa. He is also the father of Lady Yodo.
The Great Treasury Bureau is the nurse of his mother, Mrs. Yodo, and naturally she is also a member of the Asai family back then, so she is more familiar with this Nagamasa.
That Nagamasa-sama is said to be tall and a beautiful man. And Xiu Lai seems to have inherited a lot of his place, and is somewhat similar to him in many ways, and he is also a good-looking person.
"Hmph, Hideyori-sama is worthy of being the head of the Toyotomi family. Your Highness, although you can't do it, you have to come on! ”
For Xiuzong's provocative words, Xiuguang decisively chose to ignore it.
"Well...... From now on, it seems that the matter between Yicha and his brother is clear. But what exactly is Mother planning? ”
Xiuguang leaned against the wall next to him, touched his chin and thought seriously.
"By the way, Your Highness, did you think it would be Lord Hideyori who is going to set up a side room?"
Xiuzong said his guess in a joking tone,
"After all, Madame has always had that attitude...... And now Hideyo-sama is not young, right, and Senhime-sama is still a child. ”
Yes!
I didn't think of that!
Xiuguang only got up at this time, complaining about his stupidity.
In my memory, it seems that the time when Xiulai's concubine was born was a year or two later!
Moreover, it seems that not long ago, the Toyotomi family also received the news of the birth of Chiyo, the second male of the Tokugawa family's Hidetada-sama.
Mother can't be stimulated by this, so she wants to set up a side room for her brother, right?
But...... It makes sense to think about it.
After all, there are few heirs to the Toyotomi family, and since Hideyori has reached this age, and the main room cannot have children for the time being for various reasons. That's why I had this idea!
And as a fourth man, he looks like a decadent person in front of outsiders......
"Hyogoro, I sometimes have to admire your defensive thinking."
"Huh, huh? Did I guess wrong? ”
"No, maybe you're right. It's a good time for Hyogoro. ”
Hidemitsu rarely agreed with Hidemune's words and praised him unreservedly.
"Maybe it's about the side room. It seems that we received the news of the birth of the Tokugawa family, right? ”
"Uh-huh, it's the second boy of Lord Xiuzhong, right?"
"That's right,"
Xiuguang said and spoke, and after looking around for a while, he turned his head around his steps,
“…… These words are not quite appropriate to say in the hallway. Let's go back to our room. ”
"Huh? Aren't you going to look for Hideyori-sama? And what about investigating what Mrs. wants to plan? ”
Xiuzong also hurriedly turned around and followed his highness, but his mouth was still asking these questions.
“…… No need. Let Shang Chang inquire about this kind of thing when the time comes. Moreover, if the mother wants to build a side room for the elder brother, then it is not something we can interfere in. ”
Although Xiuguang wanted to get involved, there didn't seem to be a reason for him to intervene as a "decadent" four men.
And even if he insisted on interfering in this matter, his mother, Mrs. Yodo, would not necessarily listen to him.
On the other hand, if you intervene rashly, it is easy to be targeted and suspicious by those who Tokugawa has planted at home.
After all, a usually decadent fourth man suddenly interjected in his brother's private affairs very strongly, which is not a normal thing no matter how you look at it.
"Brother and Ah Qian-sama still have the matter of the side room, let's find a way to sort it out later. It's time to finish the process in advance, and then deal with this kind of family matter when the time comes. ”
Xiuguang walked back, and although he showed a strong desire to intervene, he still didn't look back.
"Xiuzong, I'll prepare all the paperwork I brought back when I went to Kyushu later."
"Your Highness? Are you going to tell Hideyori-sama about it? ”
"Hmm. Tomorrow. ”
"Huh?! In such a hurry? ”
"Time is running out. What should be done is always what should be done. It's useless to keep slowing down, it's better to make it clear as soon as possible. ”
Xiuguang took a deep breath and made this decision, which was somewhat heavy for him.
Whether it's about the side room or the current matter, it's a complicated matter that is difficult to solve for the current Xiuguang.
