42. Gifts

"Fujiyoshiro is not polite, let me apologize to you on his behalf, okay?" Ning Ning generously picked up a glass of wine to cover her face and drank it all, and then took a look at the empty wine glass. "In the future, I will ask you to continue to take more care of Fujiyoshiro!" After saying that, she bowed to a few of us.

We were embarrassed to make any more trouble, so we let go of Fujiyoshiro and drank Ning Ning's wine. is worthy of being one of the three ladies of the Warring States, and she is really witty and virtuous! In just a few words, she solved the dilemma for Fujiyoshiro.

At this moment, Kinoshita Koichiro came over with a notebook and whispered a few words in his brother's ear.

"Lord Stars, do you really still treat us subordinates as brothers?" After listening to his younger brother's words, Fujiyoshiro asked slyly with his big round eyes.

"Huh~?" No one understood why he was asking.

"Of course! Am I the kind of person who forgets old friends? I replied confidently.

"In that case, I, as an elder brother, have the courage to pick a brother's reason!" He looked like he was grasping the handle. "Where's your gift?"

"Don't you see? Really didn't see it? I asked, surprised.

Fujiyoshiro was frightened by my serious look and looked at his brother suspiciously. He couldn't trust me to come empty-handed, as I've always been generous.

"Indeed...... Nope?! Kinoshita Koichiro raised his head and said hesitantly after checking the ledger again.

"Oh......! That's right! That's because ...... "I made a sudden realization." "I haven't taken it out yet!"

"Come here!" Amid the laughter of the crowd, I beckoned to a few of the retainers sitting at the other table. "Hayato! Take out my gift to Kinoshita-sama! ”

"Yes!" Kusunoki Hayato agreed, and then a silk horse suddenly appeared in his otherwise empty hand. No one outside knew that the Kusunoki brothers and sisters were ninjas, and the onlookers were curious about such a clever "trick".

"Lord Zhuxing, you really ......" Ning Ning obviously saw the value of this silk.

"It's so stingy!" Asano Nagamasa, who had just come over, hurriedly said.

"Changji!" Ning Ning called his nickname and anxiously tugged at his sleeve.

Asano Nagamasa turned a blind eye and continued: "Ordinary people can forget it, but Lord Zhuxing is the 'rich' of the Oda family second only to Lord Nobunaga! That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? Besides, you should give at least two gifts to celebrate your wedding! He rubbed his hands as he spoke, clearly wanting to "fight the local tyrants and divide the land." "That's it.

"Is it stingy?" I asked Keiji Maeda, who was standing behind me, with a deliberate frown.

He tilted his head and thought about it for a while, and then said "solemnly": "Hmm! It seems to be stingy! ”

"That's good! I'll just add one more. As I spoke, I took out a three-inch square locket from my bosom and stuffed it into Fujiyoshiro's hand.

"It's pretty heavy!" He opened the box with a smile, but immediately froze.

"What is it?! What is it?! Seeing him like this, several young people couldn't help but be curious and drove them all around, and then burst into laughter.

In the box, a golden monkey leaned forward and looked forward, holding a peach with two front paws and building a pergola. On its back, five little monkeys have different shapes. This is what I used ten taels of gold to design and create, and the whole work is wonderful.

"You...... You...... Why are you still making fun of me today! Fujiyoshiro complained.

"This ...... It's not ...... Similar to it? Hori Hidemasa laughed and fell.

"What is so happy?" Toshiie Maeda asked, and our laughter drew everyone at their table.

"Ahh It's pure gold! Lord Stars is really too polite! Asano Nagakatsu took the golden monkey and was amazed. With his rich experience, it is not difficult to guess that I am the only one who can make such a big deal here.

"Fujiyoshiro! Thank you yet, Lord Stars. His gift is a profound one! In the muttering sound of Fujiyoshiro, Ning Ning suddenly opened his mouth. In Chinese, the monkey's 'monkey' is homophonic with the prince's 'hou', and the 'back' on the back is homophonic with the 'generation' of the seniors. Lord Zhuxing, I wish you a prosperous career and a lasting success! "She's very knowledgeable.

Hearing what she said, everyone suddenly realized, and praised and discussed.

"Mrs. Ning Ning is right! But ......" I paused deliberately. "There is another meaning to this gift. According to Madame's intellect and insight, you can't guess, right? ”

"Hmm...... Hmm......" She didn't say a word for a long time, and her face was flushed.

"Naturally, I wish Ningning and Fujiyoshiro many children and grandchildren! Even I can see it, how can you not understand? Madame Asson teased her.

"Mrs. Asson!! Ning Ning blushed and slapped him.

"The deep affection of Lord Zhuxing, our family will never forget!" Asano Nagakatsu bowed to me. Because of his age, his greatest wish is for his children and grandchildren to be around his knees.

"Asano-senpai doesn't have to be like this! This is what I should do as a junior. I hurriedly grabbed him.

"Brother Zhuxing!" Kinoshita Toyoshiro stepped forward and grabbed my hand sharply. "Let us work hard for each other, and hope that our brothers can get ahead in the future and become the masters of one city and one country!"

Bear in Winter: Many readers have told me that this book is too slow to update! I was ashamed and relieved at the same time that there were so many readers who cared about this book. Lao Xiong's writing and typing are relatively slow, and the strict monitoring of the director at work is more than 2,000 words a day, so I'm really sorry for you! Now that the university has started classes, I will have one or two days a week because of the class can not be updated, please understand! On the other hand, the old bear actually hates going to school very much, but ...... Ay! The situation is stronger than the people! I was about the same age as Lao Xiong in an office, and I was forced to go to Liangshan!
