Chapter Sixty-Eight: Ohtani
After asking what he wanted to know, Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't want to talk to these gossips anymore, so he chatted patiently and left with wise Mitsuhide.
As soon as Hosokawa Fujitaka returned to Kyoto, he was anxious to find these gentlemen, hoping to learn some about the virtues of the sons of the Naspo family.
If you are really a virtuous character, you might as well follow the meaning of Qingyuan's mother. She is devoted to maintaining the family business, and she doesn't care about the affairs of men and women, it's just a task to pass on the ancestry.
But I heard the rumors in Kyoto, and I had a bad impression of the son of the Spo family. Where is this marrying, it is clearly marrying a time bomb back. must be persuaded to withdraw from the marriage, this ignorant fiancé must not.
She didn't know that Mibuchi Haru was preparing to reveal her intention to marry after the war, and the words in the letter that she regarded herself as her mother-in-law made her mistaken.
Because of a misunderstanding, the unreliable Haruhori's mother finalized the marriage, and Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was worried about how to get rid of her fiancé, set her sights on her best friend Akechi Mitsuhide.
"Mitsu-so, look..."
"I don't look."
"I think..."
"I don't think so."
Hosokawa Fujitaka was blocked back by a few words from Akechi Mitsuhide, although the two have not known each other for a long time, they are confidants.
As soon as Hosokawa Fujitaka spoke, Akechi Mitsuhide knew what bad intentions this Niko had. Considering herself to be an elegant and calm woman, Wise Mitsuhide was also shocked by the deeds of the son of the Naspo family, and he was not sensitive.
In front of the shogunate's ministers, he confronted the general, stripped and splashed, what a strange man.
If it weren't for the relationship between the Spo family and the Ashikaga family, it is estimated that the general would have beheaded this arrogant man with a knife in his hand.
You, Hosokawa Fujitaka will be afraid, and I will not be afraid of it? Don't toss me with some famous and noble fools that are beneficial to my future career.
I'm wise that even if Mitsuhide starves to death on the streets of Kyoto, no man likes him in this life, and he won't pursue such a wealthy son.
Both of them are smart people, and their minds are clear in a few words. Hosokawa Fujitaka had to sigh and find another way.
Seeing that it was not early, since I had returned to Kyoto, I naturally had to go to Mibuchi Mansion to greet him. There was no way, so I went hard.
Mibuchi heard that the second daughter was coming home and asked someone to bring it in.
Seeing that she also came with a samurai who looked no less than Fujitaka's own, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
This doesn't mean that you want to have more contact with Sipo Yiyin and cultivate a relationship, what does it mean for you to find such a Peugeot Ji samurai to accompany you? Aren't you afraid of the duck flying?
But Akechi Mitsuhide was on the side, and it was inconvenient for her to say more, so she could only stare at Hosokawa Fujitaka twice.
"Why are you so slow, the shogunate has already arranged it, and it's waiting for you."
"Mother, forgive me, you know that the Miyoshi family is restless, and Hosokawa is a little busy, and I have rushed back as soon as possible."
In private, Hosokawa Fujitaka still calls Mibuchi Haruhin's mother, which is also recognized by Hosokawa Mototsune. They are all sisters, and one daughter is divided into two people, and the relationship is good.
Mibuchi Haruhin nodded when he heard this, and he couldn't help but worry about the Izumi Hosokawa family, but he couldn't help it under the nest.
The Ashikaga family couldn't bear it, and the shogunate ministers didn't have a good life. Ashikaga Yoshiki is also the master, and I hope that the ancestors will bless the Ashikaga family to survive this.
"You will set off tomorrow, and the men and horses from the Hexagon family will meet near the border.
It's unfortunate that you're here, Yoshiyin, the son of the Spo family, and his retainers said that they were going out to visit Kyoto, and they are not in the mansion now, and they will introduce you to each other later. ”
"No, Mother, I'll gather outside the house tomorrow morning. There's still some business to attend to over there, so I'll sleep in the mansion over there tonight. ”
Hearing that Yoshiin was not there, Hosokawa Fujitaka was overjoyed, rejected his mother's request for accommodation, and left under the pretext of doing errands. Izumi Hosokawa's family has its own mansion in Beijing, and she is not afraid of having no place to live.
It's just that Mibuchi Qing has some regrets, and the second daughter is in a hurry to do things and go fast, and many things haven't been explained properly. Thinking that it was not too late for them to come back from Omi, I was relieved.
On the way, Akechi Mitsuhide saw Hosokawa Fujitaka running away like a burning tail, and laughed wildly.
"Whatever you laugh at, if you laugh again, I will marry Naspo Yiyin to you."
"I beg Hosokawa-sama to be gracious, and you can keep it for yourself. It turned out to be called Sipo Yiyin, but the name is good. ”
"But people, hehe."
The two joked with each other. Hosokawa Fujitaka made up his mind, he had to deal with this little man coldly on the road, it was best if he felt wronged and turned around and broke off his marriage, wouldn't it be beautiful.
Otani Village, Omi Province, is a natural village near Omi Kannonji Castle.
More than 100 years ago, in order to enhance their strength, the Rokkaku family opened the door to open up the wilderness for the samurai under their rule, and the ancestors of the Otani family also had the courage to challenge at that time and took over the pioneering form.
At that time, he was only given the title of a ground attendant, and as the lowest-ranking Ji samurai, the Otani clan had no chance to come out. With this title, he opened up farmland in the wilderness south of Guanyin Temple Castle, drove away wild beasts, and gathered mountain people. After a hundred years of development, it has achieved the people of this more than 1,000 stone territory.
But over the years, because of years of war, the Hexagonal family looks like flowers, but in fact, it is already a strong outsider. On the one hand, it is necessary to support the war with grain, grass and copper money, and on the other hand, it is necessary to reward Zhixing and win over the retainers.
The relatives are close to the branches, and the genealogy of the retainers are the goals of unity, and it is inconvenient to plunder, so the people of the subordinate countries and counties will be uncomfortable.
Not only did the military serve more and more often, but the number of battles also increased. The Otani family, as the samurai of Otani Village, was tossed to death.
In this generation, the money and food were not enough to make ends meet, and after the previous generation of family governors died in the battle for the Liujiao family, only a girl with a strange disease was left.
But even if it was so tragic, it didn't get peace. Seeing that the heir of the Otani family was imminent, the Rokukaku family wanted to encroach on the territory of the Otani family.
A thousand stones is not much, but it is not much, but it is enough to accommodate several meritorious Ji warriors. Just waiting for the girl of the Otani family to be seriously ill and breathe, this wait is three years.
Yoshitsugu Otani lives in the Otani family's mansion in the village, which was once the tallest and most beautiful building in the village, but now it is overgrown with weeds and rarely visited.
A few years ago, she had a strange problem, and her skin was itchy and unbearable, and from time to time she had red spots and ulcerated. When my mother died in battle, the hearts of the people up and down the house were scattered, and there were still vicious remarks about her fault.
Yoshitsugu Otani was also stubborn, dismissed the domestic servants, and lived alone. Originally, her mother had already set a marriage for her, and the man was the child of the local servant in the next village, a well-known pretty man from ten miles and eight towns.
After his mother died in battle, the man's family began to push back. Later, I heard that the Rokkaku family had the idea of recovering the territory of the Otani family, and even threw a letter of abandonment of marriage to the mansion, and never saw anyone again.
In the past three years, she has pretended to be seriously ill and will die at any time, paralyzing the greed of the Hexagonal family. The Hexagonal family cares about her reputation, and wants to wait until she dies to accept the territory, which makes her look better.
In fact, she is just a skin problem, although the body is frighteningly festering, but it will not be fatal.
Yesterday, an order came from the Rokkaku family to lead her troops to the border of Yamashiro to meet the nobles of the famous Shogunate Shipo family, and then go to Asai.
After reading the order repeatedly, I always felt that there was a smell of conspiracy in it. But Yoshitsugu Otani doesn't care, she also needs a chance, a chance to leave the sight of the Rokkaku family.
Pretend to die on the battlefield, and you can sneak away. I'll definitely be back when I'm done. Wait, Hexagon.
Don't laugh at being young and poor!
