Chapter 30: Encountering an Opponent

(Ancient Japanese name for this chapter: Sento: a bathhouse for bathing in hot springs.)

Aoki Saemon came out of the cage and went straight to a lively street market in Joshita Town.

In the past few days, without Miura Tomomitsu chattering in his ears, he was in a good mood, going out early and returning late every day, and visited the entire Azuchi City, what tea houses, sento, grocery streets, and Fengyue Fields were all patronized one by one. Of course, he didn't go to the Lord's Pavilion, because he couldn't enter it at all because he didn't have a government decree to allow it, but he didn't spare any effort and ran to Otowa Castle and Sanoso Castle, which were hundreds of miles away.

At first, Takahashi Tai also sent a few attendants to follow him closely in case the young master caused any trouble, but after being scolded by him, Takahashi Tai was so frightened that he no longer dared to send someone to keep an eye on him, so he had to write to Miura Tomomitsu for help, but it was far away and could not quench his thirst.

Today, Aoki Saemon wears an apricot yellow straight down, covered with orange feathers, tied with a ribbon around his waist, a delicate sword obliquely inserted, and a folding fan in his hand, walking gracefully on the street......

This street is called the Hundred Steps Corridor, full of shops, all the way to see all kinds of wooden signboards swaying in the wind, passing pedestrians are shoulder rubbing, noisy, a splendid and plump image. Aoki Saemon walked aimlessly on the streets, and all the grocery stores and silk shops entered, but they only looked at it and didn't say anything.

Let any boss see such a gorgeously dressed, extraordinary lord to come to our store, are smiling faces, the result is to let you open a thousand mouths, said to move the world, but this son has never said a word, the store turned around, pulled out the legs and left, the bosses sent out with a smile, and couldn't help muttering: This kid is either dumb, or has a sick brain......

But when Aoki Saemon came out of a general store, he didn't leave in a hurry as before, but stopped there, looking straight ahead.

It turned out that there were two young girls in front of them, wearing exquisite kimonos, but one was bright in color, light in fabric, and had an elegant temperament in her gestures, just like the peony in the court, which occasionally went out of the outdoors and couldn't help but shine brightly; The other is dressed in white, petite in stature, revealing a light and elegant atmosphere, just like a deep valley orchid, first entering the world, but still unstained with dust.

These two men can be distinguished by their clothes, but they are one master and one servant. Aoki Saemon saw with his own eyes that the two women entered a silk shop talking and laughing, and they couldn't help but fly in with their legs.

This time, he changed his silence, bowed deeply when he entered the door, and said politely: "Your Excellency boss, may I ask which one of the best silk in your store is?" ”

The boss of this house is called Shan Tianye, as soon as he saw that there were distinguished guests coming, he immediately smiled all over his face, bloomed a brilliant chrysanthemum, and replied: "This son, you have come to the right place to buy silk in this store, and a batch of bright and soft Suzhou and Hangzhou silk has just arrived in the store, all of which are directly transferred from Daming." After speaking, Yamada pointed with his hand, "Well, this is the horse that these two young ladies are looking at." ”

When Aoki Saemon heard this, he also stupidly came to the side of the two girls, and suddenly felt that the musk orchid was puffing his nose and eroding the bones**, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch the silk silk that the girl had just touched, and said: "Well, the color is gorgeous, the feel is silky, it is indeed Suzhou and Hangzhou silk, the top grade of the top grade." ”

Then, he began to show off, what Suzhou and Hangzhou silk first originated from Wu Aya, and Chu Juan, Shu Jin, Qi Xuan, Lu Mian are equally famous, there are many categories, through silk silk, silk silk, black silver silk, shirt satin, folding soap cloth...... All of them are tributes in the imperial court...... It's like a "big Mingtong".

Speaking of this, still feel unfinished, peeking at the two girls at the same time, but also meditating, the beauty of silk and the softness of women, life and life together, said: "The reason why Suzhou and Hangzhou silk is delicate and silky, spiritually refined, wearing on the body is comfortable, lingering fragrance, all because from picking mulberry silkworms to brocade embroidery, all from the hands of women, and the Ming Suzhou and Hangzhou girls are famous for their delicate and delicate posture, and their beauty is like the two girls in front of them. ”

The two women who only said this sentence suddenly turned red on their cheeks, threw the silk in their hands, and twisted their bodies to the side. Seeing this, Aoki Saemon was secretly happy in his heart, and continued: "Many literati and writers in Middle-earth have spent a lot of pen and ink to praise the beauty of brocade women. ”

He chanted two Tang poems in a frustrated tone, and pointed at the girl opposite with a folding fan, and then pointed to himself, his eyes were frivolous, and his provocative heart was obviously very.

But just when he was smug, the girl in white suddenly stepped forward, raised her slender hand, and with a "snap", slapped Aoki Saemon in the mouth, loud and crisp, and frightened everyone present, no one expected that such a young and beautiful woman would be so wild and ruthless.

Aoki Saemon covered his red cheeks, felt swollen into his heart, half of his face was hot, and he suddenly became angry, but when he carefully looked at the voice of the woman in front of him, his expression suddenly showed surprise, his eyes were dull and empty, as if he had passed through a thousand years of attachment, and the whole person stood there stupidly, muttering in his mouth: It was you......

The girl who hit him thought that the other party would be angry, or fight back frantically, but she didn't expect Aoki Saemon to react so unusually, especially that sentence, which was even more inexplicable, wondering if she was shooting too hard and beating the other party to dementia, and suddenly became worried......

Yama Tianye was afraid that the matter would be big and affect the business, so he hurriedly came out from behind the counter, ready to persuade each other, so that the two sides could calm down......

But at this moment, two young men with swords in their waists hurriedly came in outside the door, the one in front was dressed in purple and drooping, with a childish face, and the one behind was tall and handsome, looking much more mature.

As soon as the purple-clothed young man saw the situation, he stretched out his hand to draw his sword, but Aoki Saemon was shocked at first, and then put his hand on the handle of the knife.

Seeing that they were going to fight each other, Yama Tianye was so frightened that he hurriedly persuaded: "The two customers are slow to move, there is something to discuss, something is good to discuss......"

The young man in purple didn't eat this, pushed him away, turned around and asked the woman in the gorgeous kimono, "Sister, did he bully you?" After speaking, he glanced at the girl in white again.

"He speaks lightly and teases us." The girl in white opened her eyes and said first.

When the purple-clothed young man heard this, he said angrily: "You kid dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and you are impatient." After speaking, he said "Cangchang" and pulled out the knife.

Before Aoki Saemon could explain, Yamadano couldn't help but bow in fright: "This little adult, the old man saw it clearly just now, this son and the two young ladies just misunderstood, not to offend, please don't act lightly, if you have something to say, speak slowly......"

"It's none of your business!" Before he could finish speaking, the young man in purple pushed him to the counter.

Yama Tianye was so frightened that he almost peed his pants at this time, how could he tolerate these two people tossing in this small business, and after a while, he would fight and make a black miasma, this small shop would definitely suffer first, if he made another death, he would have to follow the lawsuit, and then this silk shop would not have to be opened, and it would be good to close it directly.

"Come on...... Someone ...... coming" Yama Tianye's voice trembled in fright, slumped by the counter, and stretched out his hand to greet the shopkeeper.

A guy hurriedly ran over and asked, "Boss Yamada, what do you command?" ”

"Tell a fart, ...... Hurry up and report to the official......" Yamada Ye finished speaking angrily, and found that the other party was still stunned and did not move, so he was so anxious that he used all his strength and pushed him out.

The guy was pushed and fell out of the door, but as soon as he got out of the door, he was pulled in by a big hand, and his body suddenly lost his balance, and he smashed into the side shelf in a few steps.

Coincidentally, this shelf is not placed in silk, but some bottles and cans, Shan Tianye in order to spend more money, a new batch of porcelain, just a few days on the stock, and one has not been sold, the result is all by this guy to "wrap the round".

I only heard the bang, the bang, the shelves fell to the ground, the bottles and cans were broken, and the guy was also pressed underneath, wailing, and the distressed mountain field "oops", only slapped his thighs......

The one who pulled the guy back was the tall young man who had been standing behind and had not spoken, and at this time he had already stopped his companion and said, "I think it's over, it's just a misunderstanding......" Speaking of this, he whispered a few words in the ear of the young man in purple.

At the same time, the two girls also gave the purple-clothed young man a stop look, and there was a little panic, as if there was something unspeakable.

After being dissuaded by everyone, the young man in purple really put the knife into the sheath and stopped talking......

At this time, a mess also startled Aoki Saemon's soul back, he stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Just now I admired the beauty of the two women, and there were many offensive words, but there was no blasphemy, please forgive me." After speaking, he bowed deeply again, without the frivolity just now.

The young man in purple did not answer, but flicked his sleeves, his anger did not subside, and the two girls also twisted their pink faces aside, not appreciating.

Aoki Saemon bent over and was stunned there, unable to get off the stage for a while, the tall young man saw this, stepped forward and said: "My fair lady, good gentleman, everyone is a young man, just a moment of vigor, don't worry too much." ”

Aoki Saemon hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope, straightened up and said: "In Shimoaoki Saemon, from Sakai Port, I don't know a few high names, and it is fate to see you today, and we will go to a tea house opposite in a while, and I will be the east, which is an apology to the two sisters." After speaking, he bowed to the two girls again.

Sakai Port is a place where Japanese businessmen gather, and he thought that telling his origins and adding this brocade dress would definitely change the other party's indifferent attitude.

Unexpectedly, the four of them didn't even raise their eyes, the tall young man smiled slightly, and said lightly: "There is no need to break the bank, we still have important things, so don't leave it at that." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Aoki Saemon saw the white girl turn away, and couldn't help but want to step forward to stop him, but he was dragged by the tall young man, he looked at Qianying, and said urgently: "Hey, don't go, leave a name......

The tall boy stopped him and said, "Don't leave it at that, there will be a certain ...... later" Just wanted to turn around, but was grabbed by Aoki Saemon.

"In the next piece of sincerity, I have already reported my name just now, and I can't be friends for a while, it's good to get to know each other, is it possible that the four of you have been bluffed by my name and surname?"

When the tall young man heard this, he smiled slightly: "In Xialong Shaocong, meet today, Sansheng is fortunate to ......"

"Courteous, polite, may I ask the two women just now......"

"You only have one person to report your name and surname, and I will tell you alone, otherwise you will also find three other people to come out, and we will tell each other one by one, which is fair."

After speaking, he stopped looking at him, put a small piece of silver on the counter, turned around and left, and turned back when he left the store and said, "Among the three, there must be two women." After that, he laughed and walked away......

Aoki Saemon stood there, thinking that he had met an opponent this time, and he would be more foolish than me, so he shook his head stupidly and walked out of the store with his feet raised.

When Yamada saw that the plague god was finally gone, he didn't care about the guy who was still pressed under the shelves, but picked up the silver on the cabinet, and the chrysanthemum bloomed again.

Just when he saw Qian stealing joy, someone behind him shouted: "Boss Yamada, the two gods Akiyama and Yoshida have come to see your daughter, and my wife will let you go over ......"

Hearing this, Yamadano sighed heavily, shook his head, put the silver into the sleeve of his robe, turned around and walked to the backyard......
