Volume 1 The First in the World Chapter 17 Door-to-door proposal
Toei, Edo, Yagyu family.
The current head of the Yagyu family, Yanagi Danma Mamoru is meditating in his room.
Knock knock!
A sharp knock on the door interrupted Yagyu Tajimamoru's meditative state.
"What?" Yanagi Tajima Mamoru slowly opened his eyes.
"Master, a group of strangers came from outside the dojo, bringing Ishihara-sama's greetings." The disciple replied.
"I see, take them to the living room for tea first, and I'll be there later."
"Yes!"
Outside the door of the Liusheng family, Guo Zhuzheng and Ah Da were waiting outside the door.
"Young master, what are you talking about whether Ishihara's prayer post is useless or not. At that time, he swore that he would be able to enter the Yagyu family. Ah Da and the others outside the door said impatiently.
"Rest easy! People report it in and write the time altogether. Guo Zhu spoke out to appease Ah Da.
After a while, the disciple who had just entered to report trotted all the way over, bowed, and said, "I'm really sorry, please come in." ”
As he spoke, he led the group in.
Guo Zhu knocked on the folding fan with his hand, and walked carelessly along the way, watching the buildings of the Yanagi family and the cherry blossoms that can be seen everywhere, it is early spring, and the cherry blossoms are blooming brilliantly.
Yagyu house, outside the living room.
Guo Zhu saw a man wearing a red power suit on his upper body and a copper coin tied to his left eye.
"Your guests are coming, please forgive the Ten Guards for not being well entertained, please come in." Yanagi Shibei smiled with a smile.
"Hahaha, the guest is as you go, I have heard the prestige of the Yanagi Xinyin Sect for a long time, and I came to visit rashly today, please forgive me." Guo Zhu also smiled heartily.
"It's serious, please!"
Guo Zhu followed the Yanagi Shibei into the living room, and saw a middle-aged man with a white face and beard sitting in the main seat, smiling gently.
"This is my father." Yagyu Jubei introduced.
"In Xia Wan Sanjin, the people of the Ming Dynasty, I have heard for a long time the good name of the great master of the Xinyin faction of Liusheng's predecessors, and I came to visit today." Guo Zhu followed the customs of the locals and bowed.
Yanagi Danma Shou replied and asked, "The Central Plains has come here, the road is difficult, and you came here with a letter from Lord Ishihara, I'm afraid it's not just to visit me." ”
Yanagi Danma Shou is old and mature, and the meaning of this is: Don't pretend, just say it, what's the matter.
Guo Zhu said with a smile: "The seniors are quick to talk, and the juniors will speak directly." ”
"Have you heard of thirteen thousand?"
"Oh, but Da Ming is richer than Shi Chong, and legend has it that he is the richest man in the world." Yanagi but Ma Shou was a little puzzled, "You just said that your name is Wan Sanjin?" You are? ”
"Yes, my brother is Wan Sanqian!" Guo Zhu admitted frankly.
"My brother and I have made a plan since we were young, my brother is in business and earns wealth, and I am practicing martial arts diligently to protect wealth. The wealth earned by my brother has helped me to reach a higher level in martial arts. ”
"You brothers are so courageous!" Yanagi Danma Shou praised when he heard Guo Zhu's remarks.
"Then you came to Dongying thousands of miles away to learn the martial arts of my New Yin Sect?" When Liu Sheng Danma Shou saw Guo Zhu, his words were appropriate, and his advance and retreat were well-founded, and he couldn't help but love talents.
"Not really." Guo Zhu shook his head, "I know that the martial arts of the New Yin Sect are unfathomable, but the martial arts are specialized!" Not in Bo! I haven't practiced martial arts yet, so I don't dare to dabble in other martial arts. ”
In fact, Guo Zhu didn't look down on it, the martial arts of the Xinyin faction, and the Iga faction of the name of the Xinyin faction were destroyed by him, how could he sacrifice his roots to learn the martial arts of the Xinyin faction.
Isn't Dafa fragrant?
Isn't King Kong bad and not strong?
Yanagi but Ma Shou, hearing Guo Zhu's words, agreed very much, and unconsciously glanced at Yanagi Shibei who was standing next to him, and said secretly: I haven't learned my own martial arts yet, and I'm still pestering Sleepy Shiro to learn what kind of magic sword I want to learn.
"Martial arts are specialized! Not in Bo! That's a good point! Ten Guards, you have to remember carefully, don't think about learning any magic sword! Yagyu Danma reprimanded.
"Yes, Father!"
"It's not a martial arts, why is that?" Yanagi continued to ask.
"I'm here for two things." Guo Zhu stretched out two fingers.
"First of all, my brother wants to come to Dongying to do some business, and I want to ask the Yanagi family to take care of it. The remuneration will definitely satisfy the Yagyu family. ”
Yanagi Danma Mamori groaned for a while, and then agreed, "This matter is simple! ”
"And what about the second thing?"
"Come to Dongying, I heard that the young lady of the Yanagi family, Yanagi Xueji, virtuous and virtuous, Bing Xue is smart, and I am here today to propose to Mr. Yanagi, this is a gift list." As he spoke, he pulled out the gift slip from his bosom.
When the two of them heard this, their eyes flashed.
Liu Sheng Shibei took the gift list from Guo Zhu's hand, and then began to read it out.
"A hundred sapphires from Persia
Two hundred rings of pure gold from the land of Ceylon
Three hundred pairs of jade bracelets from the country of Java
Four hundred strings of Sumatran agate necklaces
Five thousand taels of silver in the country of Guli
……”
"Don't read it." Yanagi Danma Mamori said, he felt that he underestimated the wealth of the richest man in the world.
And Yanagi Shibei, who was reading the gift list, also became more and more frightened, and he couldn't wait to agree for his father immediately and marry his sister as soon as possible.
"I feel your sincerity, but I still need to ask the opinion of the little girl Xue Ji." Yanagi Danma Shouqiang suppressed the surprise in his heart and spoke.
"Father......" Yagyu Shibei tried to speak, but was interrupted by a wave of his hand.
When Guo Zhu saw this scene, he knew that the matter was already half successful, and continued to speak: "The so-called parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, as long as Liu Sheng's seniors, can you agree to it?" ”
"Alas, the little girl Yukihime has been stubborn since childhood...... It's all my fault, for spoiling her. Yanagi sighed.
Guo Zhu then said violently: "If I marry Miss Yukihime, then you are my family, I can double the size of the Yagyu Dojo, and I will also ask Lord Ishihara to recommend you to the shogun." ”
"With money and power, the Liusheng family can have their own piece of blue sky on their heads, and it is not a dream to unify the Dongying martial arts!"
"It's a marriage, it's an alliance!"
Guo Zhu looked at Liu Sheng Danma Shou with burning eyes.
"This ......" Yanagi Danma Shou's heart was moved, extremely excited! He longed for a blue sky of his own overhead.
Half a day.
"I agreed."
"Son-in-law, I've seen my father-in-law."
"Family, don't be polite."
When Guo Zhu and Ah Da walked out of the Yanagi family, Yanagi Shibei personally sent them off.
"Uncle, don't send it, I'll go back."
"Then be careful on the road."
……
"Young Master, this is also one of your plans?" On the way back, Ah Da asked Guo Zhu.
"Or else?"
"You are obviously gluttonous, Miss Ren's body ...... Yes! ”
Ah Da was kicked in a flying blow.
……
Yagyu Mansion.
"Sister...... Sister. A little girl in a light green kimono trotted all the way to her sister and shouted excitedly.
"What's the matter? Do you speak slowly? ”
"You're ...... You have been betrothed by your father. ”
