Nana Hashimoto carefully sorted out the little swaddling clothes wrapped around her for her daughter, and while making sure that the package was warm enough, she also tried to make the child more comfortable.

"Little Nanawei, laugh at one, will your mother take you to play?" Nana Hashimoto gently stroked her daughter's little face with her fingers, making Nanami giggle. After asking about Qianya, Nana Hashimoto used Qianya's surname to give the child the same name as herself, so this cute little guy's current name is Nanami Chiba.

After confirming that Nanami's swaddling clothes had been wrapped, Nanami Hashimoto seemed to be afraid that she would catch a cold, so he wrapped a small quilt on the outside of the swaddling clothes before picking up the child. Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Japan at this time, like China, uses the custom of the Lunar New Year, and it will not be changed to the Gregorian New Year until the Meiji Restoration era 400 years later, in the reform of the Meiji Emperor.

Nanami Hashimoto hugged Nanami Ko and was walking towards the banquet hall of the Odawara Castle Castle Tower, accompanied by Wakadie. Because it is New Year's Chinese New Year's Eve Eve, a dinner will be held at the castle tower in Odawara Castle today, and Nanami Hashimoto is also invited.

In order to participate in today's dinner, Nanami Hashimoto also deliberately dressed up, but she did not paint her face white like the noble ladies of this era, but only after applying powder thinly, she coiled her hair up in a bun unlike women in the Warring States Period, and then inserted a golden step that was sent with the letter a thousand nights ago.

The style of this golden step shake made Nana Hashimoto feel very familiar, because it was exactly the same as the one that Qianye gave her for the first time five hundred years later, but there were a few traces of time. This made Nana Hashimoto not convinced that this golden step was the one that Qianye gave him five hundred years later, and he just kept it five hundred years later.

Tonight's Nana Hashimoto is wearing a plain small sleeve, covered with a red gown decorated with maple leaves, with her long hair coiled, she looks particularly dignified and beautiful, atmospheric and elegant, and the little Nana Wei who was held in her arms added a bit of maternal brilliance to her. So much so that Xiao Ju on the side looked at Nanami Hashimoto with envious eyes, and praised her: "Madam, you are really beautiful tonight, I'm afraid the entire Hojo family can't find a more beautiful woman than you." ”

"Xiaoju, what you said is too exaggerated, at least Mrs. Yangzhuyuan is very graceful and luxurious, she should be prettier than me when she is young, right?" Nana Hashimoto said with some humility, while showing a self-contained smile. For this kind of praise, Nanami Hashimoto has actually heard a lot, after all, she is selected from thousands of girls five hundred years later, a girl who can become an idol, and Nanami Hashimoto's appearance is enough to be called the best in the world in this era.

Holding Nanami Ko, Nanami Hashimoto came to the Ohiroma located in the castle tower of Odawara Castle accompanied by Wakadie and Xiaoju, and at this time there were already many retainers of the Hojo family in the Ohiro room, because it was a New Year's dinner, many people also brought their female dependents. But when Nana Hashimoto didn't come in, it still stunned these Hojo family retainers who were not considered to have seen the world.

A samurai who seemed to be a little old poured the wine from the wine glass on the placket of his clothes, and looked at Nana Hashimoto in a daze as he walked past him, and his infatuated eyes suddenly aroused the dissatisfaction of his wife beside him, but even if his wife twisted his waist, he was unwilling to withdraw his eyes. The other young samurai looked at the figure of Nanami Hashimoto in amazement, as if he couldn't believe that there was such a beautiful person in the world, so that he didn't even realize that the chopsticks in his hand had fallen off.

Nanami Hashimoto sat down in the seat reserved for her in advance under the guidance of the attendants, she felt the blazing gaze of the retainers of the Hojo family in the entire Ohiroma to her, even if she had the experience of being an idol before, she still felt a little ashamed, and she could only lower her head and tease Nana Ko to cover up her restraint in the future.

Ruodie knelt beside Nanami Hashimoto, serving her meal while also helping her take care of Nanami. After all, Nana is still just a child who has just completed her month, and if Nana Hashimoto takes care of her in the future, there are still many things that she can't take care of or is inexperienced. Xiaoju couldn't enter the venue of the dinner because of her identity, so she could only stay outside the door.

It seems that because Nanami Hashimoto's location is the location of the daughter of the Hojo family, many people are speculating about her identity, and some people even think that she is the concubine of the Hojo clan Tsunashi Shinna or the concubine of the Hojo clan. ”

"No, this is Mrs. Chiba, just a guest of the young master, just a guest in Odawara Castle." Hojo Phantom looked at the retainers who were talking about it in the big room, frowned and added: "This lady is already married, and her husband is not something that the Hojo family can offend, so let them stop talking about it." ”

The retainer was suddenly startled, and Hojo Hanan's warning made his back cold, and he hurriedly lowered his head and began to pass the word to the people around him, asking them not to talk about Nanami Hashimoto. It seems that Hojo Phantom's warning had an effect, and soon no one in the entire Ohiro room talked about it anymore, and even looked at Nanami Hashimoto a lot more narrowly, and only a few people would sneak a glance at it and quickly turn their eyes away.

It seems that because of Hojo Han'an's warning, the atmosphere in the Ohiro room was also a little awkward for a while, and many people were just talking about inconsequential topics with the people around them, and then they were smiling a little stiffly, maintaining a warm atmosphere.

All this changed for the better after the Hojo clan took his family into Ohiroma.

A ashigaru deliberately paused the spear in his hand, made a muffled sound on the floor and shouted, "The lord has arrived!" After that, the Hojo clan walked in from the main gate with the pearl temple and his concubine, and after passing through the passage deliberately left by the middle of the big hiroma, the Hojo clan sat on the main seat with the pearl house.

Hojo Shiyasu also came in with his father and sat down at the head of the Hojo Phantom Temple, because he was already considered an adult this year, so he could no longer sit in the position of a family member, but sat in the position of a retainer, and attended this dinner as a member of the Hojo family. After sitting down, Hojo Shiyasu looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who was sitting next to Yangzhuin.

This is the first time that Hojo Shiyasu has seen her since Nanami Hashimoto gave birth to Nanami Ko. Tonight's Nanami Hashimoto seems to be carefully dressed up, coupled with the mature charm exuded by her body after giving birth, which makes Nanami Hashimoto look more charming than before. Looking at Nanami Hashimoto, who was holding her daughter and smiling lovingly, Hojo Shiyasu couldn't help but reveal a trace of confusion in his eyes when he looked at her.

The Hojo clan apparently noticed his son's abnormality, and after coughing a little dissatisfied, he looked at the retainers who were waiting for him to speak in the Ohiro room, and knew that this was not the right time to deal with this matter, so he had to suppress his dissatisfaction with the Hojo Shiyasu, and after straightening his clothes, he said aloud to the many retainers in the Ohiro room: "Everyone, another year has passed. The Hojo family has experienced many difficulties in the past year, and it is thanks to your lives that the Hojo family has been able to overcome many difficulties, and I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for your contributions to the Hojo family during this year. ”

After speaking, the Hojo clan bowed to the retainers present, and the pearl temple beside him also bowed with other family members, thanking the retainers of the Hojo family for their dedication and contribution over the past year. In these troubled times, retainers are one of the most important factors in maintaining the rule of a family, so it is not difficult to understand that Hojo Tsunade, as the head of the family, thanked his retainers for their efforts at the New Year's dinner.

And the retainers of the Hojo family, seeing that the Hojo clan was bowing to him, as if they had rehearsed in advance, said in unison: "I am willing to offer all my loyalty to the Hojo family!" While saying this, they also neatly returned the salute to the Hojo clan who was sitting on the throne, and the ritual-like process was an important means of deepening the bond between the lord and the retainers in this era.

Nana Hashimoto looked at all this with curiosity on the side, although she had seen similar scenes when she was filming Taiga dramas before, but compared to what she saw with her own eyes in the real era, there was still a bit of a false feeling. The loyalty of the retainers to the lord in the real samurai of this era, and the mentality of the lord who is dedicated to the prosperity of the family, is not something that actors in modern society can make up for by their acting skills.

It was only after the Hojo clan summed up the major events of the Hojo family that he officially announced the start of the dinner. After hearing the Hojo clan announce the start of the dinner, Nanami Hashimoto also relaxed, and the rather serious atmosphere just now made her unconsciously a little nervous.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Ohiro room began to be relaxed and casual, and the retainers of the Hojo family, who had worked hard for a year, began to toast each other, the younger retainers laughed and played together, and the older retainers gathered together to discuss the harvest of their respective territories and other topics of interest. On a festive day like Chinese New Year's Eve, even the strictest people don't mind the rudeness of others, and everything seems to be filled with a kind of satisfying joy.

Nana Hashimoto did not feel this atmosphere that is difficult to feel in modern society, and enjoyed the food on the table with a smile on her face, although it was not as delicious as the food she had eaten in later generations, but Nana Hashimoto still ate it, and the chef who cooked it was full of heart.

Thanks to this atmosphere full of laughter, even Xiao Nanawei seems to have been affected, the cute little face is full of smiles, and there is a tender laugh, so that the pearl house on the side can't help but lean over, looking at this cute little girl: "This child is really cute, does it have a name?" ”

Nanami Hashimoto nodded lightly, and introduced the name of Xiao Nanami to the Pearl Academy: "I wrote to the child's father before, he only let the child take his surname, and let me take the name, so I gave her my name, and her current name is Chiba Nanawei." ”

Nanami Hashimoto said and gently poked Nanawei's cheek with his fingers and teased her: "Come, Nanami, Xiaonanai, tell Aunt Yangzhuyuan, what is your name." After Nanami Hashimoto finished speaking, he deliberately changed his cute voice and said, "My name is Nanawei." Nana Hashimoto's rather childlike behavior suddenly caused the pearl temple on the side to cover his mouth and chuckle.

After laughing, the temple restrained the smile on its face, and in this era, women were not allowed to laugh too loudly and show their teeth, which was considered an indecent act. Yangzhuyuan looked at Nanami Hashimoto's pretty face, looked at his son's obsessive eyes again, sighed helplessly, and still asked Nanami Hashimoto: "Mrs. Chiba, although it feels very abrupt to ask this question today, the concubine still wants to ask, I don't know when you will leave for Kyoto?" ”

Hearing the question of the Pearl Temple, Nana Hashimoto also felt some hot eyes from the Hojo family, she understood the concerns and worries of the Pearl Temple, so she didn't mind the Pearl House asking this kind of question on an occasion like the New Year's dinner, so after handing over Xiao Nana to Ruodie to hold, she straightened her clothes and replied to the Pearl House seriously: "After the New Year, when the weather warms up, I should be ready to leave." I've been bothering me these days, and I would like to thank you for your many cares, madam. ”

Nana Hashimoto said, and bowed to the pearl temple again, thanking her for taking care of her during this time, and expressing her gratitude to the Hojo family. However, Nana Hashimoto's attitude suddenly made Yangzhuyuan feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Madame, where are you talking about, it is the honor of the Hojo family to be able to entertain guests like Madame, where is there anything to disturb." ”

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed to say this, Yangzhuyuan adjusted his emotions and said to Nana Hashimoto a little reserved: "Actually, I originally planned to ask my wife to stay for a while, at least waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom, and then leave after enjoying the cherry blossoms in Odawara Castle, but I just ......" Yangzhuyuan glanced at Hojo Shiyasu a little helplessly, and finally just sighed and didn't explain the matter.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Hashimoto Nanawei's mouth, she could understand the practice of the Pearl Raising Academy, pity the parents of the world, and the Pearl Raising House was also for her son. If this kind of thing happens to Nanami Ko, Nanami Hashimoto believes that she will be like the Pearl Garden. So she nodded and said to Yangzhu Yuan: "Madame, don't worry, the little girl will leave after the beginning of spring, and Nanaiwei's father probably can't wait to see his daughter." ”

Hearing Nana Hashimoto say this, Yangzhuyuan relieved his heart and smiled again.
