Chapter 248: The noisy dust washing feast

“…… In this way, Dora Guardian and Nobita, as well as his little friends Fat Tiger and Xiaofu, defeated the green ghost together! As they cheered for victory, the demon boy suddenly appeared, took the seriously injured green ghost away, and told them viciously to wait for his revenge before leaving! ”

The stupid Lori tilted her head and asked strangely, "But, why didn't the demon boy help the green ghost take revenge?" ”

Toraki knocked down Chiyo Tsuki's forehead and said with a grin, "Stupid! Of course, it's because the real body of the demon boy is not here! ”

"Huh? Can it still be like this? Chiyo Mochizuki covered her forehead, shook her two pigtails and said strangely: "It seems that my father once said that the doppelganger technique!" ”

"Stupid! Don't talk about that kind of strange thing, people can't be separated! ”

"Oh! Chiyonu also thinks that it is the story of her father deceiving Chiyonu. The stupid Lori said thoughtfully: "Because my father says something different every time!" ”

"Alright! Don't talk about it yet, come and try the new grilled river shrimp made by Ah Ju! It's delicious! Aju walked in with a plate of red grilled shrimp, freeing the two girls from the entanglement, and both of them reached out at the same time to pinch a shrimp, and made the same movement to hand the shrimp to Kira Yoshitoki.

"Your Highness! For you! The two people who spoke in unison were stunned for a moment, and found that their actions were imitated by the other party, and Tiger Ji glared at Chiyo very unhappily, "Big red deer!" This is my Royal Highness, shrimp or something can only be given by me Tiger Queen! ”

"This is also Her Royal Highness Chiyonu, and Chiyonu is going to feed His Highness shrimp to eat." Chiyo Mochizuki stubbornly handed over the shrimp and said, "Your Highness opens her mouth!" Before Kira Yoshitoki could open her mouth, she opened her mouth first and said, "Ah." ”

"You're provoking!" A female tiger's anger gauge is soaring. Kira Yoshitoki seemed to faintly see the flames burning inside her. Makes him a little worried about what will happen to this stupid Lori.

"Not really! Chiyonu just does what she has to do again! Chiyo Mochizuki was still staring at Kira's mouth persistently. And there he said, "Open your mouth, ah." ”

"Ahh A man accidentally opened his mouth, and then a bright red and delicious shrimp fell into his mouth, and then he regretted it, the sea water above his head flowed down like a waterfall, because a certain tiger Lori was pressing over step by step, and the poor shrimp in his hand was instantly pinched flat, and you can even imagine this poor lobster king screaming in pain in heaven.

"For! Miscellaneous! Whatever! Tiger Ji's anger gauge was full, as if it meant to release a big move on him. Kira Yoshishi immediately stretched out his head and took her fingers in his mouth, sucked the poor shrimp into his mouth, and praised while chewing: "It's delicious!" Aju's craftsmanship is simply amazing! ”

"Huh? Your Highness sucks ...... My fingers? Tiger Ji's cheeks turned red in an instant, like a boiling kettle steaming, and she looked at her fingers stupidly, and almost fainted with shyness.

Ah Ju smiled and took out a stack of letter paper, handed it to Kira Yoshishi, and said, "Your Highness, Princess Katsuhime has written a letter!" In the letter, she said that everything was fine, that many people in Kyoto were playing big dealers, and that the exquisite game chess made by the Konoe family was selling very well. I wish His Royal Highness and Princess Tiger Queen good health, and it is a pity that I will not be able to attend next year's wedding...... I hope that His Highness will write the story of Doraemon in a letter and send it back. Of course, there are also snacks in Echigo, so remember to bring a few more! ”

"Oh! Katsuhime also wrote a letter to Aju...... You don't have to save so much, right? Write the same content for several people. Kira Yoshitoki said with tears in his eyes: "I really hurt her in vain!" ”

"It's different! The title is different, Oni sauce is the special name of His Royal Highness, and Ah Ju just calls Ah Ju sister! Ah Ju corrected seriously.

"Tiger Ji wants to see it too!" Torahime leaned on Yoshitoki's shoulder and said as she looked, "During the more than a month that Torahime was at Konoe's house, only Princess Katsuhime played with me alone!" She took out the thousand feathered cranes, paper stars and bamboo dragonflies to share with Tiger Ji, and there were many delicious things, and it was because of this that Tiger Ji knew Sister Aju! ”

"That's all my gift to that girl."

"Huh?" Hu Ji paused for a moment, and asked stupidly, "Can Your Highness give Hu Ji a gift?" ”

"Chiyonu too!" Stupid Lori said expectantly with her fingers in her eyes.

“…… No problem, everything will be there. ”

The Kira family's fleet sailed from the Shinano River in Shimoetsu and landed along the coastline back to Naoetsu Port, where they were greeted by a group of retainers from the Kira family, which was expected, but he was surprised by the unexpected arrival of the Nagao retainers, including Minoru Honjo, Nagao Keishin, and Naoe Mitsuna.

Kira Yoshitoki quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "The princes of Misakuden, Bunzenden, and Echigo personally greeted the family, which surprised and delighted my Yoshitoki!" ”

"Wuweidian was injured and sick in order to save Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I am ashamed that my retainers and other retainers have done nothing, this time Wuweidian can really recover! On behalf of the Nagao family, we welcome the return of the Wuwei Palace and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and at the same time wish the two of them a hundred years of good together, and grow old together! Honjo was full of sincere blessings, and the retainers of the Kira family immediately looked up, and the atmosphere that had been gathered in the port was not very harmonious.

"Thank you for the blessings of Misakuden!" Kira Yoshitoki held Tiger Queen's slender jade hand and said to everyone with a smile: "Tiger Queen and I will definitely be happy!" ”

Just came to the foot of Kasuga Mountain, in front of the big hand gate to see the dressed long-tailed Jinghu personally out to greet him, compared to half a year ago, his face is still ruddy and healthy, his steps are calm and there is no drunken look, when he saw Kira Yoshishi and the long-tailed tiger Ji hand in hand, he patted the shoulders of the two with great satisfaction, and said with relief: "You can reconcile as before, it is also the reward of this hardship!" Bless you all! ”

The two looked at each other, nodded lightly, and said, "Thank you, brother." ”

"Good! Very good! Nagao Jinghu looked very happy, and commanded the samurai behind him, "Have a feast!" Wash the dust for the Wuwei Palace and the princess! ”

The Echigo-style salmon rolls made by the Nagao family are delicious, and of course, the delicatessen that Kira Yoshitoki highly prized is indispensable, and the delicious fish soup and grilled fish and shrimp are also very popular, and they are accompanied by a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables in summer and autumn, and there are unexpected song and dance performances, which are shrine maidens from the Kochi Shrine near Sekigawa, who come to the shrine to bless the peace of Echigo Kuntai and the people of the Taisha Shrine.

The samurai of Echigo were different from the samurai of Mikawa and Kinai in that they loved to drink, spoke loudly, and when they were drunk, they often hummed strange folk songs on their shoulders and beat the song and dance music of the shrine maidens, and they were immersed in the joy of the harvest from top to bottom.

Nagao Jinghu is no exception, his desk is full of two schools of sake, raise the wine cup and pour himself a drink to watch the song and dance performance, after a while the witches withdrew to prepare for a new program, on the stage is the ape musician, they perform the spell master, Tian Le, puppet, Tian Le is derived from the ancient music dance Tian Wu, Tian Wu was originally a sacrificial ceremony to pray for a good year, and was later introduced into the court to become the royal music and dance, but it was quickly suppressed by other music and dance and declined, some of which were accepted by the common people as Tian Yue and developed.

The songs and dances in Tian Le developed into Tian Le Neng, and its repertoire includes "Kikusui", "Hepu", "Two Stars", "The Ability of the North Wild Beast", "The Ability of the Shakuhachi", "The Ability of the Master of the Law", "The Ability of the Four Demons", "The Ability of Genji" and other dramas, which are very popular among the people, among which the most interesting part of the monkey music is the common with the ability to work with Tian Le, such as "Mountain Walk", "Soon", "Aconite" and other dramas.

Since the outbreak of the Onin War, the decline of the shogunate and the decline of the power of the temple in the past hundred years have dealt a huge blow to the development of the sarugaku business.

For example, the centuries-old Noh music of Taraku, which is one of the last ape musicians from the Heian period, is in danger of being cut off, and of course there are Kyogen plays in this troupe, usually accompanied by drums and small drums, and performing a variety of light-hearted and funny repertoire that is arranged and interspersed with occasional improvisations by performers.

"Speaking of which, thanks to the help of the Wuwei Palace, I was able to let the people of Echigo survive this flood safely, and the autumn harvest is really amazing!" Nagao seems to have learned some details from his wife, Aya Nagao, so he is particularly warm and intimate with Nagao Toranohime when he treats Kirayoshi.

Honjo Minoru also echoed when he heard this: "Yes! Wuweidian is really a compassionate heart, in the lord said that His Royal Highness is willing to publish the know-how of breeding and topdressing regardless of gains and losses, which is really a great thing for the benefit of Echigo! You are the benefactor of the 350,000 people in Echigo! ”

Many samurai also turned their faces curiously to listen to what this famous family in Kyoto had to say, but they were sure to be disappointed, and this level of temptation would not affect him at all.

"The praise of the two highnesses made me blush a little when I was righteous!" Kira Yoshishi half-jokingly explained the ridicule, and let the ministers laugh and reveal it.

"You don't have to be modest when you are righteous, others can't take away your merits, I, Jinghu, as early as last year, saw that the two counties of Omi far surpassed the counties on the other side of Lake Biwa under your governance, and all the shishu lived in abundance, and the small land of the two counties could increase the grain output by more than half, and this ability was not learned by others!"

Nagao Keitora stood up to testify and made the banquet more enthusiastic, and many samurai in Echigo took the initiative to go over to inquire about the relevant news, and Kira Yoshitoki also answered all questions without any shackles, which made the Kira family samurai sitting on the other side smile, Hosokawa Fujitaka covered his cheeks with a folding fan, and said excitedly: "The owner of the hall is very popular, and the strategy that was arranged at the beginning has finally worked." ”

"Shh Yamamoto Tokiyuki, who was sitting next to him, made a silent gesture and said, "It's rare to have fun for most of the year, let's continue to drink!" ”

"That's right! Keep drinking! Hehehe. (To be continued......)

PS: Some book friends said that they couldn't understand what "Okushinano" was, but in fact, "Oku" means north, such as Okusankawa and the seven counties of Hitachi Oku all refer to the northern counties of the country. Another: There will be a big outbreak tomorrow, and there is a rush to prepare for the change of tickets! I'm ready for shock!
