Chapter One Hundred and Four: Ah Song
In the early morning, the sunlight pours into the house through the windows, which is warm and comfortable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Yamada Masamura tilted his head and his eyes narrowed slightly, enjoying the gifts from nature. "Alas, it's a good weather to sleep in~" Yamada Masamura sighed. Just yesterday, Yamada Masamura and his people moved to Nakono Castle.
"That's not good, Brother Overlord Pill is now the city lord~ I have to look like the city lord~" Ah Shi said with a chuckle.
"Yes, yes, yes~ You must go to bed early and get up early, deal with affairs on time, and set an example for the retainers of the Oda family~" Yamada Masamura said with a smile, just talking and talking, but he himself felt that something was wrong, as if he had heard these words somewhere in his previous life.
"Hee-hee~ It's good to know~ Brother Overlord Maru, you have to work hard and marry Ashi as soon as possible~" Ashi said with a smile as he pushed Yamada Masamura out of the door.
"Hey, don't you need to rush me out in such a hurry?" Yamada Masamura turned his head helplessly to look at the smiling Aichi, "It's so cute......" It's definitely not Lolita's Yamada Masamura who thinks so.
Wandering into the assessment room, at this time, everyone had been waiting here for a long time. Li Huamei and Ozuku sat on the left, while Keiji Maeda, Yukihisa Shiraki, and Shimazuo sat on the right.
Walking to the top position and sitting down, Yamada Masamura glanced at everyone, and suddenly laughed, "This feels really good~" Okay, this unlucky kid, this is starting to get nervous?
"So, let's start the first evaluation of the Yamada family~" Yamada Masamura said with a chuckle.
"Keiji! Go for a long time! Nearby! Huamei! Crane! From today onwards, the five of you will be the general of the family, and you will pay 100 stones! Yamada Masamura said loudly.
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and at the same time, a strange thought surfaced in their hearts, "Is it troublesome for the lord to directly give us five unified positions and salaries?" ā
Yamada Masamura naturally didn't know what they were thinking, but if he knew, he would definitely look at everyone in shock and yell, "You actually guessed my thoughts?!" ā
Ahem...... The process goes down.
Although Yamada Masamura was presiding over the assessment for the first time, before he left Kiyoshu, he had consulted Oda Nobunaga for a long time about related matters, so there would not be any cold situation.
"Keiji, Xingjiu, and Zuojin, when the lord handed over the ancient no castle to me, he ordered me to train the elite troops all the time. It doesn't have to be a lot of people, but it must be strong enough. Well, in this way, you guys are thinking about what kind of troops to train and how to train them these days, and you think of talking to me. Yamada Masamura said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"In the meantime, the three of you take turns to be in charge of the security of Nakono Town, eh...... Let's change it every three days. Yamada Masamura thought for a while and said.
"Yes!"
"Huamei, He, now there are only a few of you in the family, and Qingci is responsible for military training, so you have to be responsible for internal affairs." Yamada Masamura turned his head to look at Li Huamei and the two daughters and said softly.
"Please rest assured, my subordinates will work hard to do a good job!" Li Huamei and Da Zhuhe responded in unison.
"Well, but I'm sure it's going to be strange to be asked to deal with these things all of a sudden. So I borrowed a master of internal affairs from my lord and asked him to take you first. With that, Yamada Masamura shouted softly from outside the door, "Sadakatsu, come in." ā
As Yamada Masamura spoke, a rather elegant samurai walked in, walked to the middle of the assessment room, bowed down, and said respectfully, "Yamada-sama." ā
"His name is Murai Sadakatsu, but he is a well-known master of internal affairs in his family." Yamada Masamura introduced Li Huamei and the two daughters, "Tut, originally I meant to let the lord let me be a retainer, but unfortunately the lord didn't agree, so I had to borrow it temporarily." Yamada Masamura said at the end, sighing again and again.
He really wants to get Murai Sadakatsu, after all, in the game, Murai Sadakatsu is a political 95+ power. Yamada Masamura believes that with his help, just one Kono Castle is a matter of minutes. "Really, why is that kid so stingy?" Yamada Masamura cursed in his heart.
"Lord Murai, I'll leave it to you in the future......" Li Huamei and Da Zhu Tsuru heard Yamada Masamura's words, and hurriedly said respectfully to Murai Sadakatsu.
"Don't be so polite." Where did Murai Sadakatsu dare to let Li Huamei and the two daughters treat him like this, who doesn't know who the men of these two women are. In case it provokes the displeasure of Yamada Masamura...... Well, in the hearts of many people in the Oda family, Yamada Masamura has never been a big-eyed person.
After the three of them met, Yamada Masamura casually confessed two more sentences, and the first assessment of the Yamada family ended like this. Well, who made the Yamada family now have a small territory, few retainers, and Yamada Masamura doesn't want to trouble himself too much?
Like many castles of this era, this castle was built with wooden hedges as walls, surrounded by arrow towers, 68 meters long and 50 meters wide, a very standard flat castle.
Maeda Toshimasa walked in the territory, looking at the territory that has gradually become prosperous, and his heart was full of pride, because this was the foundation he had put together with several people. It's just that this good mood only lasted for a few seconds, and it was covered up by helplessness and bitterness. The reason is very simple, after the civil strife, the Maeda family, who chose Oda Nobuyuki, was directly reduced to 500 koku.
Hawkers,Before, the Maeda family's Yulu was 6,000 stones, minus 500, although there was some pain, but it was not unbearable, not to mention that Oda Nobunaga gave the Maeda Toshiya a reward of 500 stones in a blink of an eye, which can be said to be left hand to right hand. But Maeda Toshimasa knew very well that Oda Nishimasa had become suspicious of the Maeda family.
Trusting the Maeda Toshiya and being suspicious of the Maeda family are two completely different concepts, and they are very dangerous ideas. Because the heir of the Maeda family has already been decided, that is Maeda Toshihisa. It's just that during the civil strife, Maeda Toshimasa supported Nobuyuki, but Toshihisa remained neutral......
"Alas, if you really can't do it, you can only pass the family governor to Ah Dog." Maeda thought with a sigh. Although I'm a little sorry for Maeda Toshihisa for doing this, compared to the future of the Maeda family, his son's resentment is nothing. For Maeda Toshimasa, who is over half a hundred years old at this time, there is nothing more important than keeping the status of the current Maeda family.
Just as he was thinking about it, a crisp voice suddenly came, "Father, what's wrong with you?" Why the sad face? ā
Maeda Toshimasa turned his head to look, but it was his adopted daughter Ah Song, who was looking at him curiously.
Atsu's father was Kazugen Shinohara, who died in the Second Battle of Shodozaka. Subsequently, her mother remarried, and Amatsu was sent to her mother's sister's husband's house, the Maeda family. Subsequently, she was adopted as an adopted daughter by Maeda Toshimasa.
"Hehe, it's Ah Song~ It's nothing, I'm thinking about things~" Maeda Toshimasa touched Ah Song's hair lovingly and smiled.
"Is that so?" Ah Song tilted his head and muttered, but soon regained his bright smile, "Then father, Ah Song will go back first~" As he spoke, Ah Song waved his hand, turned around and left slowly.
Looking at the back of Ah Song's departure, Maeda Toshimasa couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, "What a cute little girl, I really don't know who will be so lucky to marry her in the future?" Maeda Toshimasa's mood at this time, like all parents in the world, was proud of his wonderful children.
At this moment, a thought suddenly crossed his mind, "Cute little girl......"
Early the next morning, Yamada Masamura was paddling to deal with government affairs, and suddenly Yu Da came over and said softly, "Master, Lord Li is here." ā
"Oh? Ah Dog, that kid is not good at Shoushan City as his city representative, why do you have time to run me here? Forget it, let him come over and come directly. Yamada Masamura thought to himself. Hawkers,He actually didn't bother to pay attention to what the Maeda Toshiya was doing when he came to him.,He only knew that he had an excuse for absenteeism again.ć
After a while, Maeda Toshi's family came over, but to Yamada Masamura's surprise, he also brought a little girl.
"Huh? Dog, who is this girl? She looks pretty cute. It can't be your wife, right? You can do it at such a young age?! Yamada Masamura looked strangely disdainful.
"Cut, it's not, her name is Ah Song, and she is my father's adopted daughter." Maeda Toshiya responded unhappily, and then turned his head to Ah Song and introduced maliciously, "Na, that guy who looks extremely obscene is Yamada Masamura." ā
"Amatsu has met Yamada-sama." Amatsu saluted respectfully, and then sat down beside Maeda Toshiya obediently, smiling. That well-behaved appearance, really loved by everyone, not to mention Yamada Masamura, who has been completely attracted by the keyword [Asong].
"Hehe, it's called Ah Song, isn't it? What a cute girl~ Come over here and let me take a good look~" Yamada Masamura said with a chuckle. Well, he didn't have any obscene thoughts, he just wanted to take a closer look at this future [Three Ladies of the Warring States] one of the heroines. After all, he knows very well who Ah Song's future husband is, how can he not pry his brother at the foot of the wall, right? Yamada Masamura has always thought that he is a very principled year.
Hearing this, Ah Song immediately responded, and obediently walked to Yamada Masamura's side and sat down.
"It's really well-behaved~ She must be a good woman when she grows up. Tsk, I'm sure whoever marries you in the future will definitely be a blessing for that stinky boy! Yamada Masamura touched Amatsu's hair and smiled.
Yamada Masamura looks like an elder, but the meaning of the words is full of malice, and he is completely scolding the Maeda Toshiya~ It's a pity that the kid Maeda Toshiya has a sympathetic look. "Yes, whoever marries Ah Song in the future will definitely be a blessing from that bastard for eight lifetimes!" Maeda Toshika gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Haha~ Dog, you kid said it so well~" Yamada Masamura laughed when he saw Maeda Toshiya so cooperative. Although this is only a bad taste that he knows about himself, it still makes him happy. So, he summoned Yu Da and asked him to pick an ornament for Ah Song as a gift and gave it to Ah Song.
Again, Yamada Masamura's actions were only made because Amatsu was really well-behaved and cute, and he was also a historical celebrity, so Yamada Masamura did this. And in his opinion, isn't giving it to Amatsu just giving it to Maeda Toshiya?
It's just that at this time, Maeda Toshi's words made Yamada Masamura directly stunned, "Overlord Maru, since you kid likes Ah Song so much, then let her stay with you." Maeda Toshiya said casually.
"Huh? Okay, I've been busy all this time, and I don't have time to accompany Ah Shi, so I just let Ah Song and Ah Shi be companions. Yamada Masamura said disapprehantly.
"Hehe, then you agreed?" When Maeda Toshiya heard this, he suddenly asked with a strange smile.
"Uh, yes. What's wrong with you, kid, you look like you're underwhelmed. Yamada Masamura asked curiously as he looked at Maeda Toshiie.
"Hee-hee~ It's nothing, it's just that I've completed my father's task, and I can finally relax." Maeda Toshiya said with a cheap smile.
"Task? What task? Yamada Masamura looked at Maeda Toshiya in surprise and muttered, then turned his head to look at Ah Song, who was sitting beside him with a well-behaved face, and suddenly a lightning bolt flashed in his mind, "Could it be ......" Yamada Masamura muttered to himself in disbelief.
"That's right, that's what you think." Maeda Toshiya smirked. He admired himself very much at this time, and sent Ah Song out with a few words.
Well...... What should I say about this kid? I don't know, anyway, Yamada Masamura looked at Maeda Toshiya with an idiot on his face, "Are you sure?" Do you want me to marry Ah Song? ā
"Don't say you regretted it! You just said yes! Hum! If you dare to repent, I won't spare you! When Maeda Toshiya heard this, he immediately jumped up and warned with a fierce look.
"This Nima, and this kind of husband who forcibly wants to send his wife out?" Yamada Masamura looked at Maeda Toshiya speechlessly and thought secretly, but in a blink of an eye, he also reacted that at this time, Amatsu was just a sister to Maeda Toshiya. When my brother said this, it was also being cleaned up.
"Yu Da, call Ah Shi to come over." Yamada Masamura was silent for a moment and shouted softly again.
After a while, Ah Shi came over, and Yamada Masamura introduced Ah Song to Ah Shi, and asked Ah Shi to take Ah Song out to play first. For Ah Song's appearance, Ah Shi was naturally very happy, and ran out with her hand in a hurry.
"I'll go, why is Ah Shi here with you?!" Maeda Toshiya looked at Yamada Masamura in shock and asked. Well, Yamada Masamura and Oda Nobunaga kept this matter quite secret.
"What do you think?" Yamada Masamura glanced at Maeda Toshiya and didn't bother to answer.
"Damn! So what can I do?! Do you want Ah Song to be a concubine?! Maeda Toshiya suddenly held his head and screamed.
"Hey, the question now should be what your father suddenly went crazy, how did he think of marrying Ah Song to me?" Yamada Masamura saw Maeda Toshiie's funny appearance and hurriedly corrected it.
