Chapter 99: Eight Duck Slaves
Seeing this young man who stood out among the warriors of Fusang striding over, the corners of Zheng Guofan's eyes jumped, and he thought almost instantly, this must be Tachibana Zongmao, who is known as the unparalleled brave general of the West.
This kid is too tall, at this time, he is almost like a giant, "Liuhe Fan Zhi" records that he was like an eight-year-old child's physique when he was four years old, so Tachibana Chiyo's father Tachibana Michiyuki saw him for the first time, and praised him and said: He will be a brave general in the coming year.
Tachibana Zongmao Wuyong is practical and the martial arts proverb of the Ming Kingdom can be summed up in one sentence: one force will reduce ten meetings.
Tachibana Muneshige, who is only sixteen years old this year, married Tachibana Chiyo last year, changed his real name to Takahashi Yashichiro Tonghu to Tachibana Muneshige, and took over the position of the head of the Tachibana family from his wife, and was supported by a small number of important ministers of the Tachibana family, but most of the retainers disdained him, believing that only Princess Chiyo was eligible to inherit the governor.
The samurai in his thirties who followed Tachibana Muneshige closely was the Tachibana family's pen head old Ono and Izumi Shou Zhenyuki, and the later said that the seven-pillar spear was the head of the book. It is interesting to note that he insisted that Princess Chiyo was more suitable to be the governor of the Tachibana family, but at this time Tachibana Michiyuki was still alive, and on the surface he was still dominated by Tachibana Soshige.
Later generations speculated that Tachibana Chiyo was about 1.55 meters tall, and it was speculated that Tachibana Muneshige was about 1.88 meters, so you can imagine what the petite and delicate Princess Chiyo with a height of 1.55 meters looked like when she stood next to Tachibana Soshige, who was 1.88 meters tall and tall.
In short, Chiyo is extremely disgusted to stand by Tachibana Soshige's side, and once called him Xiong Soshige, although Tachibana Soshige's name is Chikuma Maru, but this does not mean that he likes others to call him Xiong Sogeru, so although this sixteen-year-old boy and fourteen-year-old girl are husband and wife, in fact, the relationship between the two is extremely bad, in the words of later generations, it is: the two can't even live on the same planet at the same time.
Seeing Tachibana Soshige coming over, Tachibana Chiyo couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Afang." (あほう, Afang is a Chinese character table, which means idiot, dumb, is a more serious insult, although the meaning is translated as idiot, but, from the tone and feelings to translate, the old Yanjing dialect [stupid] is more suitable for the translation of this word.) Then turn away from him.
Tachibana Mikawa Shou Xuanhe, who was next to him, heard it, and couldn't help but whisper: "Princess Chiyo, please pay attention to the wording, scolding this kind of thing really doesn't fit your identity." ”
Tachibana Chiyo's face was slightly red, Tachibana Genga was nominally her brother, but in fact she was more like her uncle, after being said by Tachibana Genga, Tachibana Chiyo realized that there were many retainers around, especially a few steps away, and there was also a Ming country boy who was proficient in the original language. She couldn't help but secretly look in the direction of the obedient official, as far as she could see, the obedient official was looking at her with a smile, and her cheeks were even more flushed at the moment, and she hurriedly blocked her face with a folding fan.
Hearing her scold her husband Tachibana Soshige as a house, the good official couldn't help but smile, this word he had argued with people on the forum in his previous life whether it was better to translate it as idiot or stupid, of course, he understood the strong feelings contained in this word, and said that it was no wonder that history recorded that these two people had a bad relationship, and later generations even speculated that the two did not have a round house at all, and Tachibana Chiyo, who was seven years old and thirty-four years old, was still a virgin when Keicho died in the seventh year of Chinese New Year's Eve.
Now it seems that this speculation is probably very likely, otherwise, after only one year of marriage, which wife would call her husband a fool?
As soon as he thought of this, a very evil thought suddenly came out of the obedient official's heart: General Ji, General Ji, General Ji...... It's a pity that this thought just flashed, and he sighed, anyway, this is also the wife of a small famous family with hundreds of thousands of stones, and it is a bit unrealistic to want to train into a Ji general!
However, the most unrealistic crossings have happened, why is it unrealistic to train Ji Wujun? A voice asked again in his head.
As soon as you are a scholar, don't do this kind of thing about cultivating Ji Wujiang. Another voice rang out in my head.
Vulgar clouds, scholars and marquis of ten thousand households, as a scholar of the Ming Kingdom, cultivating this Ji military general is the king's way! The previous voice sounded again.
…… Tachibana Chiyo, who was covering her face with a folding fan, saw the expression on the good official's face changing like a change of face, which was very strange, and she couldn't help but want to ask, but at this time, Xiong Zongmao walked to her side.
Somewhat disgusted, she took a step to the side, and Tachibana Somao's face changed, and her fists were clenched tightly.
With so many subordinate samurai here, Chiyo openly did not give him face, and it is no wonder that his face is not good-looking.
Gritting his teeth, Tachibana Zongmao swallowed this breath stiffly, this son is said to be the first brave general in the West, and it is said that he has the air of decisiveness to kill, but it does not mean that he is sixteen years old at the moment and has this kind of decisiveness.
"Chiyo." He tried to make his smile as gentle as possible, and said, "How can you run out and leave me and Princess Fang alone?" It's rude. ”
Tachibana sneered, closed the folding fan with a bang, inserted the folding fan into his waist, and snorted: "Princess Fang? Which princess Fang? I don't know any princess Fang. ”
Only then did the obedient official realize that following Tachibana Soshige, there was also a little girl who was tightly surrounded by dozens of samurai in armor in the middle, huh? No, not a little girl...... The woman in the middle is less than a meter tall, and she wears gorgeous small sleeves, which were popular in Oda Nobunaga's Azuchi period, and she is beautiful with countless intricate flowers and plants dyed in the technique of a deer's fetus, her face is powdered, her eyebrows are shaved, and two strokes are drawn on her forehead.
Strictly speaking, this woman is not ugly, as for makeup, this is a matter of opinion, and later generations also have so-called gothic makeup with pale skin and a wide range of black eyeshadow, and some people call it vampire makeup, which is not necessarily better than the shaved eyebrows and white pink face of the woman's surname.
It's just that her small stature, gorgeous clothes, and snow-white face made Zheng Guofan, who was deeply poisoned by the horror of this book in later generations, suddenly think of the ghost doll Huazi, and couldn't help but hit a spirit, and a layer of goosebumps floated on her body.
This girl is the wife of Lu Louwei, the second master here, the daughter of Daiyou Shichimaru, Princess Fang.
She came forward to negotiate with the Tachibana family, and several important ministers of the Tachibana family thought that they should not talk to her, anyway, this was the rebellion of His Royal Highness (referring to Otomo Sorin) family, although His Royal Highness was silent for decades and did not denounce Shioichimaru, it does not mean that the Tachibana family, as a major minister of the Otomo family, can communicate with Shioichimaru's daughter.
And Tachibana Somao believes that since people are here, there is a proverb in the Ming Kingdom: there are friends from afar, and they are happy. Of course, it is necessary to receive it warmly, and by the way, whether this 500-door cylinder can be picked up quickly, and it is best to be cheaper.
Tachibana Muneshige was raised by his uncle Yoshihiro Jinshin since he was a child, Yoshihiro Zhenxin is an expert in internal affairs, as the general director of the castle town in the prefecture, it is roughly equivalent to the mayor of the economy in later generations, he made the internal affairs of the Otomo family prosperous, so it is better to say that Yoshihiro Zhenxin is a samurai than to say that he is a businessman, and Tachibana Muneshige, who was raised by his uncle Yoshihiro Zhenxin, has been exposed to it since he was a child, and naturally thinks that as long as there are interests, it can still be talked about without violating the main principle.
Therefore, Tachibana Chiyo angrily turned around and walked out of the tent and ran into Zheng Chengguan, and at this time, Tachibana Zongmao and Princess Fang preliminarily agreed that the three masters Lu Louwei would try their best to find a way to trade as soon as possible, and press the price to one hundred taels of gold, which is to save ten thousand taels of gold! Tachibana Zong Shigeshi was full of pride, and then he came out of the tent, and at this time, a samurai under his command said that Princess Chiyo seemed to have a conflict with someone, so he rushed over.
So, after they rushed over, Chiyo was extremely dissatisfied when he saw Princess Fang, this guy with powder on his face like a dead face, how dare he call himself Princess Fang? His Highness's failure to pursue it does not mean that we will agree, and simply turn our heads and pretend that we can't see it.
Tachibana Zongmao's face was full of embarrassment, so he apologized to the princess Fang, and said, "Princess Fang, she has been stubborn and arrogant since she was a child......"
Hearing him say [cheap inside], the good official couldn't help but burst out laughing, you know, the fluff on this guy's mouth hasn't faded yet! looks like he's just big, but he's actually a little kid.
Tachibana Somao, who was already very embarrassed, heard someone laughing next to him, and at a glance, he found that it was a handsome young man who was laughing, looking at the clothes, it seemed to be a Ming countryman, so he thought it was a sea coward on the island, and couldn't help but color, "Red Deer Noro (ばかやろう, Yaga Yalu)"
As he spoke, he pressed the hilt of his sword, and drew half of his sword.
The obedient official suddenly changed color, mud horse, dare to scold me?
"Young Master, what do you mean by this?" The big head couldn't help but ask the good official, and Wen Ren, who was not far away, hurriedly acted as a translator, gloating and said: "He scolded your young master for being a bastard...... and he answered in his heart, Zheng Guan, you bastards are light.
Let's quarrel! Let's fight! There seemed to be a flame dancing in Wen Ren's eyes.
When the big head heard it, he was furious, this rabbit cub of a small country actually dared to scold our young master, he has brains, and there is no shortage of means to trick people, when he went south to Ningbo, he pretended to be stupid on the boat and said that a pear flower pressed begonia, and the young master wanted to marry a lot of wives to open up branches and leaves for the Zheng family, and he ran away with Miss Yan. Now seeing someone scolding his young master, his eyes rolled, and he said to the people behind him: "You all listen well, shout with me, just shout, you are only eight duck slaves, and your whole family is eight duck slaves......"
After speaking, he also made a tune one, two, three, and then, those members of the Yan family, Hu Litao, and the twenty elite subordinates shouted together: You are only eight duck slaves, and your whole family is eight duck slaves.
The momentum of hundreds of people shouting in unison, the sound can simply break through the sky, Ma Lu Yelang is a more intense insult in Fusang language, Tachibana Zongmao was scolded by so many people, and immediately changed color, although he didn't know what it meant, but with two red Lu Yelang in a row, it had already made him unbearable, and the Wen Ren clan, who was idle and wanted the two sides to fight, immediately shouted at Lihua Zongmao: "They are talking about your whole family Red Deer Yelang." ”
With this translation, Tachibana Soshige's face suddenly turned pale, and with a single click, he pulled out the whole of the famous thing that his father Takahashi Sho had transported to him, Captain Hikari Hikari.
The repression of more than a year, at this moment, completely exploded, most of the Tachibana family's ministers were silently opposed, his wife's disgust, and he didn't even have sex with him, and even the symbol of the Tachibana family's governor, the famous object Rachel was not handed over to him, these were suppressed in Tachibana Somao's heart all the time, accumulating deeper and deeper, and now, a little ghost, actually dared to insult him like this, where did the reputation of the samurai go?
Throwing the scabbard of Captain Hikaru Bizen to the ground in front of him, Tachibana Muneshige raised his hands above the top and posed in the structure of a thunder knife, the blade flashing with a cold light in the dark night.
