In the back garden of the Notakayama Lord's Mansion.

Although it is autumn, the temperature is still relatively high. In the farther flowers, the wildflowers transplanted by cranes and butterflies from the mountains and fields outside seem to be in full bloom, and the bright flowers exude bursts of fragrance. I am afraid that I am tempted by the aroma, and butterflies and bees are flying everywhere in the yard.

Masarashi lay in a special rattan chair, staring blankly at the butterflies fluttering on the flowers, and was silent for a long time. Ju Ji on the side silently stroked the silk that Masato bought for her, and her mood was a little low. Just now, her father told her about the Matsuura family's desire to marry the Luo family, and asked her to give up the position of the main room for the overall situation of the Luo family. To say that she is not sad is false, and any woman will feel uncomfortable when she encounters such a thing. What's more, Ju Ji has only been married to Masara for less than two months. But as a woman, can she have any other choice?

"Husband, haven't you made up your mind yet?". After a long time, Ju Ji endured the sourness in her heart, snuggled in Zhengliang's arms, and said calmly, "If you don't make a decision again, the concubine will inevitably be blamed by other retainers, thinking that the concubine is jealous and prevents her husband from making a decision." ”

"Ju Ji, why aren't you a little jealous as they say? Now there's another woman coming to take your place? Masarashi asked affectionately looking at Kikuhime in his arms. It has been nearly half a year since she came to this era alone, and the woman in front of her is the first woman who melts with herself, and Masashi has long regarded her as the closest person.

"The concubine is also very unwilling, and I feel very uncomfortable... However, it's all for the Luo family," said Ju Ji's eyes, and a few crystal tears flowed from her eyes, "And even if she can't be her husband's main room, the concubine can still stay by her husband's side and serve her husband." ”

"Hmph, the Matsuura family just hopes that the family will be a nail to contain the Hakata family on the East Matsuura Peninsula. Marrying a woman in is just a matter of giving birth to an heir in the future, and rightfully annexing the family, a good calculation" Zhengliang has a little resistance to this kind of marriage that sacrifices women.

"Husband, the concubine believes that under your leadership, the Luo family will prosper. Even the Matsuura family can't stop her husband," Kikuhime hugged Masayo tightly, as if she wanted to integrate the whole person into Masayo's body, "For the sake of her husband's great cause, the concubine doesn't care if it's the location of the main room, as long as she can stay by her husband's side." ”

"Hey!" Masarashi sighed lightly, took Kikuhime into his arms, and gently stroked her hair. Marrying such a wife who understands the overall situation, what more can a husband ask for? Because of this, Zhengliang's heart is even more unhappy. The two hugged each other silently, and time seemed to stand still.

After a long time, Masara seemed to think of something, suddenly patted his head, and then Ha Luha smiled, and stood up while picking up Ju Ji, while muttering to himself: "Ha Luha, why didn't I think of it?" What a stupid thing!"

"Husband?" Kikuhime was taken aback by Masaara's sudden move and asked in amazement.

"Po" Masarashi kissed Kikuhime fiercely, and then looked into Kikuhime's eyes and said, "Juhime, don't worry, no one will try to steal your place in the main room." ”

"Huh?" Ju Ji exclaimed and hurriedly said, "Husband, no." Are you really not going to marry the princess of the Matsuura family? ”。

"No, I'll marry her," said Masaara, "and she's also a prime officer, but she's a little lower than yours." ”

"Huh?" Ju Ji was confused by Masaara's answer, and she didn't understand it for a while.

"Po" Masara kissed Ju Ji in a daze again, and then said, "Don't think about it, little fool." You just have to remember that you are the most prestigious room. Well, get ready for the evening, we're going to work a little bit harder to have an heir. "Zhengliang is not busy teasing the beauty in his arms. …,

Carrying the still confused Kikuhime back to the house to rest, and after a little warmth, Masara once again summoned all the retainers and the long-waiting Kamiya Susei to come to the council hall to evaluate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have already decided to marry the princess of the Matsuura family" After everyone finished saluting, Masato didn't bother to say anything, and directly announced his decision.

"Congratulations to Your Highness" The retainers were stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, congratulating one after another, and some even laughed. For them, as the head of the family, his marriage and women are tools and means for the family to survive. Sending a woman to resolve the conflict between the two sides, trying to sow the seeds of oneself within the enemy, the original noble and pure love, being forced to submit to the rationality of survival, but this is also normal.

"Hahaha, congratulations to Your Highness," said Kamiya Shaoze, who had been a matchmaker, "so that I can give a satisfactory explanation to Lord Kagete." ”

"I'll leave it to Kamiya-sama to reply to the Matsuura family," Masarashi said with a smile, "As for the Luo family, Kosuke and Kizo Shigetada will be in charge of this matter, so be sure to discuss the preparations with the Matsuura family." Originally, Togo Heiji was the most suitable person to be in charge of this matter, but he was still sad that his daughter was going to be demoted to a side room, although he forced a smile, but anyone with a discerning eye could see the sadness in his heart.

"Yes," the retainers took the order. Looking at the reaction of the retainers below, the political conscience was secretly amused. You still don't know that I'm going to set up two main rooms, right? Many words are from the afterlife, how can I be bound by these rituals? My life is up to me, my territory, I have the final say. Of course, these words must be said after marrying the princess of the Matsuura family and cooking the raw rice, otherwise it will arouse the opposition of the retainers.

While the retainers of the Luo family were discussing how to handle the marriage, the Matsuura family was in the castle tower of Hirado Castle.

"Is everything arranged?". Standing at the fence looking out at the sea in the distance, Mitsunobu Matsuura asked lightly.

"Yes, sir. I have already entrusted my subordinates' in-laws to pass the word on their behalf, presumably the Luo family will be happy to accept this marriage," Tian Anjing, who was kneeling on the ground, said respectfully, "But the young master seems to be very dissatisfied with the princess's marriage. ”

"He will definitely understand in the future, everything is just for the continuation of the family. You don't have to worry about him, I'll send him away on the day he gets married. I'd like to hear what you think of the new son-in-law of the family? Matsuura Mitsunobu turned to look at Yasukei Catorita and said seriously, "Although you have already explained the benefits of this marriage in detail last time, I still want to hear your true thoughts again. ”

"My lord, there is no need to say much about the other party's martial arts, after becoming a member of the family in the future, he will inevitably become a powerful help to the family. And..."Cage Tian Yasujing paused slightly, "According to the latest news sent back by the detective, the day after the night attack on the Hachika coalition army, the Luo family suddenly attacked the Ishida family, an ally of the Haoqiang Huzi family on the East Songura Peninsula, and it was the head of the Luo family who led the team. ”

"Oh?" Matsuura was noncommittal.

"My lord, on the day of the night attack, both the subordinates and the young lord personally fought with the young family master, but on the second day, he had already returned to the East Matsuura Peninsula to personally lead the team to attack the Ishida family" Seeing that the head of the family was unimpressed, Cage Tian Anjing hurriedly added, "My lord, do you remember the night of the night attack, a naval army came to report that an unknown fleet was found in Imari Bay?" ”。

"Huh?" Mitsunobu Matsuura began to pay attention, "The day before it was still in Imari Bay, and the next day it appeared on the Higashi Matsuura Peninsula, unless the fleet that night? Mitsunobu Matsuura cast a look of confirmation at Yasukei Cageteda. …,

"Yes, my lord," Cage Te Tian Anjing nodded and confirmed, "Your Majesty can confirm that this young family master must have noticed the abnormality a long time ago, so he has made arrangements for it a long time ago, but His Majesty is also puzzled as to how to calmly evacuate from the chaotic battlefield and smoothly join the fleet." ”

"Shhh Matsuura Mitsunobu let out a breath of cold air, frowned slightly, and continued to ask, "With such outstanding talents, this family may not be able to control this Matsuura eagle?" ”

"Hehe, my lord, so I'm going to tie this eagle firmly before the feathers are full, and after domestication, he will be the best eagle dog in the family in the future" Cage Teda Anjing smiled and said confidently, "After the marriage, as long as the Luo family makes a slight move in Higashi Matsuura, the Hata family will not dare to act rashly, and the family will be able to deal with the Omura family and the Goto family in the west and south with all their might." ”

"Okay, then the matter of marrying and forming an alliance with the Luo family will be left to you. Go down. Matsuura Mitsunobu waved his hand and said.

"Yes, my lord," Cage Tian An bowed and took the order. After sending away Yasukei Tada, Mitsunobu Matsuura summoned Yui Hatano, who was about to get married. At the thought of this daughter, Mitsunobu Matsuura felt faintly guilty. The daughter's name was determined by Mitsunobu Matsuura's father. At the beginning, the strength of the Hirado Matsuura clan was still very low, and in a conflict between the Hadoga family and the Matsuura family, the Matsuura family was defeated. As the defeated side, under normal circumstances, the best way is to marry the daughter of the family out of the war to obtain the other party's relief. At that time, it was with this purpose that Matsuura's father changed the name of his newborn daughter to Yui Hatano, and then promised to marry into Hatano after the age of 12. But the promise is never reliable, and with the gradual rise of the Matsuura family, especially after Matsuura Mitsunobu inherited the family governor, he became more and more tough on the Wave family, which eventually led to the confrontation between the two families again. And Yui Hatano's marriage is, of course, over. However, for fear of being criticized by the Hata family, the rest of the Haoqiang had long regarded Yui Hatano as a person from Hata, and did not dare to marry the daughter of the Matsuura family. So, to this day, Yui Hatano is still in the boudoir.

As for Yui Hatano's name, why didn't he change his name to Matsuura? This was deliberately done by Mitsunobu Matsuura. He wants to use this name to spur himself on and never be a weakling.

Just as Mitsunobu Matsuura was in deep thought. Soon, a girl who looked to be about fourteen years old, with a pair of phoenix eyes and black hair, walked in. In addition to the white neck exposed at the neckline, and the round shoulders revealing a bit of mature charm, the girl does not look childish.

When the "Father-sama" came to her father's side, the girl bowed slightly.

"Yihime, are you satisfied with the family affairs arranged by your father?" Mitsunobu Matsuura turned around and beckoned to Yui Hatano, motioning for him to snuggle up to him.

"It's up to my father's decision," a melodious voice like a yellow oriole floated out of Yui Hatano's mouth. After knowing that after her marriage, she had already sent her personal maid to inquire, and heard that her future husband was a handsome and brave young man. For the young girl who yearns for heroes, this is already a good arrangement. At least it's much better than marrying Matsuura Masa's sister who is a wasteful woman, right? A lot of words, Yui Hatano thought so in her heart.

"Hmm" After hearing his daughter's reply, Mitsunobu Matsuura nodded silently, then took out a delicate knife from his arms and handed it to Yui Hatano, "Child, you have grown up, and it's time to contribute to the Matsuura family." Take this, hide it, and if the Matsuura family breaks with your husband one day, you can use this knife to stab the heart of the head of the Luo family. ”

"Huh?" Yui Hatano didn't expect her father to give her such a task. She knew such a thing when she only knew how to pick flowers and flutter butterflies since she was a child? So immediately the whole person was stupid.

"Hehe, child, don't be afraid, your two sisters also received such knives" After seeing his daughter's expression, Matsuura Mitsunobu smiled and comforted, "It's just just in case, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”

"Yes, Father," Yui Hatano said in a trembling voice.

"Well, you go down and find your mother. is about to get married, and she is also very reluctant to you" Matsuura Mitsunobu really couldn't think of a better word of relief, and finally had to let his frightened daughter go to visit her mother.

After seeing the woman leave, Mitsunobu Matsuura turned around and looked at the railing again. In the distance, it seemed to be high tide again, and the sound of waves could be faintly heard along the rocky edge of the coast.
