"I want this!" Ah Xue held a silver butterfly-style hairpin in her hand, and said to me with a look of anticipation: "Is it okay?" ”

I took it in my hand and looked at it, this is a very civilian jewelry, in terms of workmanship, it is quite exquisite, but it definitely has nothing to do with the word "boutique", at best it has only risen to the level of wealthy civilians. "If you like it, buy it!" I smiled and casually stuck it on her head and said, I don't know if it's a common problem of little girls, she is very enthusiastic about such flashy little things.

"Thank you, my lord!" Ah Xue cheered excitedly, and looked back and forth in front of a mirror held by the shopkeeper.

"You go pick a few more, it's out of the way!" I added to Ah Xue, who was in high spirits. Since I promised to give things to others, I would feel embarrassed to be so "stingy".

"Is that okay?!" She stared at me with wide eyes, her tone full of unexpected surprise.

"It's okay, you just have to pick it out!" I didn't care about telling her that this level of consumption really wouldn't be on my mind right now. "A rare opportunity, I have a bad memory, and I don't know when it will be next time!"

"Oh~!" She cheered, and at once pressed her face to the jewelry trays.

"That's what a girl should look like!" I let out a long sigh of relief, a pang of relief in my heart. Looking at the bustling crowd in the bustling market, I have gradually distanced myself emotionally from the duty of being a samurai. Kyoto's busiest time is actually not New Year's, as most of the merchants have left, and the only time it is golden when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom!

It's March of the second year of the Motogui year (1571), and I've been busy enough in the past few months! On the orders of Oda Nobunaga, my 5,000 troops were temporarily stationed in Kyoto, and although the crisis in Wakasa had passed, I could not remain unattended for a long time as a lord. For more than 5 months, I traveled back and forth between Kyoto and Wakasa, and even Kyoto was divided into two parts, the city and the Katsura Kawaguchi Castle, and I had to share a lot of daily administrative tasks for Niwa Nagahide! I don't really like this kind of thing according to my personality, but I really can't say no to Niwa Nagashi's request.

In the last few days, I have suddenly felt more relaxed, not because of the reduction in affairs, but because Oda Nobunaga has come to Kyoto from Gibu again, and everything has been taken over by the staff system around him! I don't know if he was motivated by a whim or if he wanted to ease relations with all parties in Kyoto, but Oda Nobunaga was going to hold a tea party in the field in a few days, and I think no one would dare not come if he held it! Anyway, I was relieved for a while, and took a few people out into the street while the weather was good.

I don't know who was the first to talk about the battle of Sister Sichuan, and it was inevitable to mention Ah Xue's "rescue" work, and several people coaxed her to ask for a reward! In a joke, I agreed and let her choose what she liked. Thinking about it carefully, I also feel a little sorry for her, she has been working dutifully by my side in the past two years, whether it is the original attendant maid or the current samurai of the guard, she has done it without complaint, at least in this regard, she is much better than Shinhachiro!

Speaking of preferences, Axue is no different from other girls of the same age, they are all novel but useless things, maybe the price is not very expensive, but it must be bright and dazzling. In addition, women are really scary when they go shopping, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with age! From the street to the end of the street, from this street to that street, she must enter every store. Maybe they don't buy a single thing, but they look at everything carefully, and I guess what they actually care about is the feeling of constant choice!

I was a little dazzled by the things in the store, and I twisted my neck and looked outside. Shima Katsu can see that he is fighting spirit; Kusunoki Mitsunari wondered if he was watching the pedestrians on the street with a few guards to avoid this atmosphere; Shinhachiro simply leaned against the door frame and took a nap.

"It doesn't seem to be a matter of physical strength!" I smiled and moved my aching waist and walked out into the street. "Keiji Maeda! Why did you come out too? "Suddenly, I saw Keiji Maeda coming around the corner, holding a string of fish meatballs and eating them as he walked." Isn't it your duty today! How did it come out? ”

"Oh, it's my lord!" He greeted nonchalantly and shoved the last pill into his mouth. "Just now...... Just bet I won Changsheng...... So he's on duty for me! ”

"You guy......" I was deflated all of a sudden, I didn't need to ask to know that Nagano Yemori must have fallen for him, what else can you let me say about such a person? However, in line with the principle of punishing the past and saving people, and never giving up on anyone who can be reformed, I still decided to talk bitterly. "Keiji......," I said, as pleasantly as I could. You're not a big man, so why don't you think about the future? 'A man will respect himself and a man will be eternal,' to your present decadent ......"

"Isn't there everything you're thinking about?" He shrugged his shoulders unconsciously. "Besides, there are teachers and heavy treatment of them!"

"Hey...... I was completely speechless. Even if it's not for yourself, you have to ...... for Miss Aguo."

"That's right!" My words seemed to remind him suddenly, and he said with a straight face: "You think I should have given Miss Ah Guo some gifts for so long, but you know that I have really ...... money lately" He didn't continue, but just looked at me with the eyes of a beaten puppy.

"Xue ......" I shouted into the store, "You pick a few more things that your sister likes and turn them back to be brought over, just say...... It was given by Maeda-sama! I glared back at Keiji again. It's strange when you have a lot of money! ”

"Thank you, lord!" He said with a hippie smile.

"My sister?" Ah Xue walked out with a few small things and said with a frown: "My sister's preferences are very weird, and I can't tell what jewelry she likes!" ”

"What can I do?" Hearing this, Keiji Maeda rubbed his hands anxiously.

"But my sister often rehearses new plays...... "so she has to make new costumes before long, and she often does it herself!" If it's some silk......"

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" Keiji Maeda couldn't wait to say that he has always been generous with spending other people's money.

"That'...... Let's go! "It seems that I am on the thief ship, so I have no choice but to pay for the jewelry and continue walking with them.

"That's it!" After walking a short distance, Keiji Maeda pointed to a satin village with a wide face.

I looked up and recognized it as a semicolon from Kadokura. "Okay!" I nodded in approval.

"Ouch!" Keiji Maeda, who rushed in, knocked down a man who was going out, and the things in that person's hands scattered all over the ground. "Don't look at it when you walk!" Keiji Maeda shouted to catch the thief.

"Second Miss!" "Third Uncle De! Ah Xue screamed along with the person who was knocked down.

"Third Uncle De, why are you here? My sister, are they coming? Ah Xue hurriedly pulled the person up and couldn't wait to ask.

"It's coming, it's coming!" The man was an old man in his fifties, and although he was a few years old, his body seemed to be very tough. "This time we are going to perform in Kyoto for a while, and we will premiere at the 'Wind Chime Hall' this afternoon, and we will go to His Excellency Konoe's Mansion in a few days!" Today I came to buy clothes, I didn't expect to meet the second lady......"

"What?! These things belong to Miss Aguo! Keiji Maeda jumped up all of a sudden, picked up the things on the ground one by one, and carefully dusted the dust on them, as if he was afraid of breaking them. Why are they all plain? That's too simple, isn't it? He frowned suddenly.

"You know what!" Ah Xue said dissatisfiedly. "The patterns on the real top-notch costumes are all hand-drawn according to the plot, how can there be patterns in advance?!"

"That'......," I nodded. I have long heard that there are some big performances in Japan that the famous actors have to make some special costumes, and the famous painters will hand-paint the patterns on them, because this kind of painting must be made with "Tang ink" and can no longer be put into the water after it is made, so this kind of treasure that is only worn once is by no means something that ordinary people can ask about.

"Not bad!" The old man named Desan admitted. "This time, the Konoe family invited the world-famous great painter Master Kano Eitoku, who was born in Fujiwara! It's really extraordinary......" he said, shaking his head and sighing.

"Lord......" Ah Xue suddenly turned to me, and Keiji Maeda also had a look of hope.

"This is His Highness the Stars! It's really rude...... "The old man Desan was so busy that he was about to kneel." Since I was wearing only slightly fancy casual clothes with no obvious identification, he didn't know who I was until this moment.

"You're welcome!" I then made a gesture that didn't matter. "It was this reckless guy who hit you first, and it stands to reason that we are wrong! Please go and buy some more silk, all the cost is mine. If it's convenient, we want to visit Miss Ah Guo, and Ah Xue hasn't seen her for a long time! ”

"This ......" When he wanted to excuse himself, he was forced back to the store by Keiji Maeda, and Ah Xue immediately followed.

I'm really tired of purchasing right now, so I'm just standing outside. Naturally, Shinhachiro and the others won't go looking for that sin.

"I'm sorry! Excuse me......" A voice sounded behind me. "Are you His Highness the Stars Soldiers?"
