After three days, the clan took Sakura and Maeda Toshiya to Shimosha Castle in Aichi Prefecture.

At this moment, the city of Xiashe is full of lights, and the ashigaru people are also rarely seen to change into new clothes, and the bucket on the body is even brighter than Zeng Mingwa who was wiped by them. Shibata Katsuie acted with such fanfare to announce to the world how seriously he took this matter.

Shimosha Castle is not only much larger than Togi Castle, with a three-story castle tower standing in the middle, but also the entire Shimosha Castle is basically made of rocks, so I am afraid that in Owari except for Oda Nobunaga, only Shibata Katsuya, who has 30,000 koku, will have such a big hand.

Under the guidance of the attendants, the clan and his wife Sakura came to the assessment room, and by this time all the Shibata clan's retainers had arrived, and they were sitting there with a good smile to the clan.

Shibata Katsuya is worthy of the title of the first minister of the Oda family, which can be seen from the size of his retainer group. The clan quickly glanced at it, there were a total of 9 retainers seated, and after being introduced by Shibata Katsuya, I learned that these 9 people were: Shibata Katsuquan, Shibata Katsuharu. Retainers: Mori Katsuteru, Yamaji Masakuni, Kinoshita Moto. With the force: Kanamori is long, Tokuyama is beautiful, worship Xiangjiajia, Nagata Jinghiro. From the number of Yori, it can be seen that Oda Nobunaga still cares about the first fierce general in the family, and if you add the clan, then Yori is already on par with his own retainers.

However, listening to his introduction, among these people in front of him, except for Shibata Katsuharu, who is a general, and Mao Shoushengzhao, who is a general, and who is a general, the others are all ashigaru, whether they are retainers or Yori. But think about it, the Oda family used to be tossing and turning in Owari, how could there be so many merits to earn.

After introducing the samurai, Shibata Katsuie pointed to the first seat on the left and said, "Senbei, sit." ”

The clan sect was not polite, and sat down directly, and the people sitting on the left were all sent by Oda Nobunaga, and it was well deserved to sit in the first place as him.

As soon as Sakura wanted to sit behind the clan, she saw Shibata Katsuya say to her kindly, "Sakura, come and sit next to her father." ”

After Sakura thanked her, she walked lightly to Shibata Katsuya and sat down, she was inevitably a little nervous in her heart, and there was a person sitting below who was a general, this was a much higher samurai than her father's status back then.

Shibata Katsuya coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, today I officially accept Sakura as a righteous daughter and marry the little girl to the Takayama clan. After speaking, he looked at the clan and said, "Senbei, are you willing to marry Sakura?" ”

The clan clan hurriedly got up, took a step forward, knelt on the ground and said: "The Takayama Senbei clan is willing to marry Sakura as the main wife, and the father-in-law will be the master under his command!" ”

"Ha Luha, okay, I have reported to the lord to broadcast the village of Zhixing Baishi, as a little girl dowry, I have been approved by the lord, this is a letter of appointment, you accept it, if you know that you are not good to Sakura in the future, don't blame me for being unkind to you."

Sakura had fully integrated into this new identity, her face was slightly red, and she said shyly, "Father, the clan will definitely not bully his daughter." ”

Depend on! Shibata Katsuya won't be real, right, the dowry is actually a hundred stone Zhixing, the clan knows the way, the daimyo gives the Zhixing to his subordinates, and the subordinates can only give it to the retainers of the family, and it is strictly forbidden to transfer it to others, since the Shibata Katsuya can get the consent of Oda Nobunaga, I'm afraid there is no less effort.

"The kindness of the adults, I have the command of the subordinates, but you should transfer the 100 stone Zhixing to Sakura, which can also be used for her daily expenses."

Shibata Katsuya was not annoyed by the rejection of his face, but said with great relief: "Seeing that you two are so affectionate, I am relieved, Sakura's letter of appointment can be accepted." ”

Sakura saw that this was her husband's proposal, and she didn't shirk it, so she was embarrassed to accept the letter of appointment and said, "Thank you, father." ”

Seeing this scene, the clan was amused in his heart, the five retainers in the family only had 60 yuan a year, which was about 75 stones, and they didn't know how to feel if they knew that Mrs. Lu Dao was earning more than them now. After Sakura has these 100 stones, she can usually buy some things she likes, and the province is always embarrassed to speak.

"Subordinates (subordinates) and others congratulate the lord (lord), congratulations to the young lady, congratulations to Lord Takayama."

Soon, the news that the Shibata Katsu family had accepted Sakura as a righteous daughter spread among the Oda family samurai. A discerning person can see at a glance that although the Takayama clan was slightly punished, the lord still favored him, and it was just a matter of gaining the favor of the lord, and Lord Shibata was also so important to this person, he did not hesitate to scold the lord and used 100 stone as a dowry. People like the Takayama clan not only didn't make friends, but offended them because of the wedding, how can this be good. ,

Now the samurai of the Oda family are a little regretful, and in order to make up for their previous mistakes, they have prepared to pay heavy gifts, and in recent days, the streets near Matsunoya can often be seen in a constant stream of Oda retainers.

And because the clan has become a force, so if you live in the samurai mansion of Kiyosu Castle, it will be a little unruly, but fortunately, Shibata Katsuya generously prepared a larger and more luxurious mansion for him in Shimosha Castle Shitamachi, and prepared all the items used in the room.

Clan Zong sat in the hall and thought, he wanted to hold a god ceremony with Sakura, and it was also written on the invitation card that it would be held at Atsuta Shrine, but who knew that the plan of the road could not keep up with the changes, and the decoration cost of the casino had exceeded his expectations. In order to renovate the store, Yamada Nagamasa simply pushed it to be rebuilt, using the best and most expensive materials, and this alone cost 1,500 kan, which is much higher than the cost of building a new one, and this is only the cost of building the storefront, if you add the cost of interior luxury, I am afraid that the money in the hands of the clan is a little insufficient.

The matter of opening a casino has been reported to Nobunaga, and work must not be stopped, and the clan is really a little difficult to ride a tiger now.

Seeing that the wedding is still going to be held in a week, and it will cost a lot of money, so you can't go and notify you to change the Shinto Rite to the Human, although this will save a lot of money, but the clan can't afford to lose such a big person, so it's better to call Kagawa Tadaji to ask first.

After Kagawa Tadaji appeared in the hall, the clan found that something was wrong with him, if it was on weekdays, even if he spent the same money, it would be like cutting his flesh, at least he could be sad for a long time, but now that he has spent so much money to rebuild the store, Kagawa Tadaji is like no one who has nothing to do, which is too abnormal.

The clan opened his mouth and asked, "Zhongji, how much money do you have in the family now?" ”

Kagawa Tadaji has been very excited in the past two days, suffering from the fact that other retainers are not keen on money and things, he can only hold the words in his heart, these days, he is almost suffocating him, seeing the lord asked, he immediately said excitedly: "Back to the lord, in addition to the cost of setting aside a thousand guan shop monks, there are now a total of 2,600 guan in the house, and there are all kinds of items worth about a thousand guan." ”

The clan was taken aback by the number that Kagawa Tadaji revealed, he had only been in Dongqi City for a few days, why did he suddenly have so much extra money in his family? The clan asked suspiciously, "Where did this extra money come from?" Isn't the store open yet? ”

"My lord, this is a wedding gift from the samurai of the Oda family." After Tadaji Kagawa finished speaking, he took out a thick codex from his bosom and began to read it. "Niwa Nagahide-sama sent: a pair of golden cranes, two silk horses, 10 gold judgments, Lin Tongsheng-sama sent 20 gold judgments, Sakuma Nobuto sent a bag of good pearls, and 10 gold judgments......"

The more the clan heard it, the more frightened they became, and the samurai of the Oda family were crazy? The high amount of gifts given by the important ministers can still be understood, but the congratulatory gifts given by the lower-level samurai and the wealthy families are a little too much. A low-level samurai like Kinoshita Toyoshiro is reasonable to send about 1 guan, but he gave 5 kan, and there is also a muslin cloth, I'm afraid even he himself is reluctant to wear muslin.

The clan thought to himself, it seems that these people are quite good at the wind and the rudder, and seeing that Lao Tzu is still in love, he hurriedly jumped out to show his goodwill, forget it, forgive them for the sake of money.
