252. Marriage contract
"I don't eat it."
Although the little witch swallowed her saliva, she still rejected the crab leg handed over by Qiao Dui.
She sat at the next table with only one sparkling drink on the table.
"Didn't you come to the table and didn't eat?"
Qiao Du was curious.
"You're still in the mood to eat?"
The little witch pursed her lips.
"There's an old saying in our side that if you don't eat actively, you have a problem with your brain."
Qiao Du replied as a matter of course, since the little witch girl didn't eat crab legs, then he himself was not welcome.
"But then again, the food here is contaminated, so it's good for your body to eat less."
"Polluted?"
The little witch looked suspiciously at Qiao Dui's full plate.
She didn't see a problem.
"Yes."
Qiao Du nodded, and thought about it again, maybe the depth of these pollution is actually quite deep, so in the eyes of ordinary people, and even ordinary Chosen One, it is impossible to see it at all, and naturally, these pollution cannot affect them.
"What kind of person do you think the Tokugawa people are?"
Qiao Du asked the little witch again.
"Well, he's very powerful, he has the means, and he knows how to bend over, at least no one in the Island Shrine wants to go against him."
The little witch took a sip of the sparkling water in the cup and said.
"It's just that I can feel that he has great ambitions, and he is not the kind that is easy to deal with, and the reason why he can remain relatively neutral now is only because the power of the Toyotomi faction is too big and needs to be balanced."
To put it simply, the reason why the Tokugawa people did not defect to the Toyotomi faction is because of the need for a balance between all parties, if the Tokugawa people defect, then he will always only have the second position in the Toyotomi faction, and according to the current way of checks and balances, he can still have a chance to compete for the position of the boss.
"That's right."
Qiao Du thought it was very good.
If the people of the Tokugawa realm are a person who has no desires and no desires, or who has lofty and noble ideals like Qiao Du, then it is difficult to do.
Qiao Du said in watching movies before that people have three weaknesses, one is what they are afraid of, one is what they are good at, and finally what they want.
As long as you can grasp any of these three weaknesses, you can easily grasp the other party.
As far as the Tokugawa people are concerned, he is afraid that his current position will be taken away, and he is afraid that the Toyotomi faction will grow stronger and completely annex Washima Taisha, so he will adopt his current attitude.
At the same time, he is adept at scheming and dominating others, which will allow the people of the Tokugawa world to have their own judgment and cognition of relevant matters.
In the end, he wants to become the supreme leader of Wajima culture, and even more power, which is what he wants.
Since there are these, then we can talk about it.
But you have to finish it first.
Qiao Du didn't want to waste the food on her plate.
Shame on waste!
Just when Qiao Du was still gobbling up, the people of the Tokugawa realm suddenly seemed to have discovered something and walked towards Qiao Dui.
"Am I exposed?"
Qiao Du frowned, and saw the little witch at the next table sigh and stand up.
"Uesugi shrine maiden, good evening."
The people of the Tokugawa realm greeted the little witch, and their attitude was much more respectful than Qiao Du imagined, after all, according to the cognition, he should be the big leader of the little witch.
"Hello Tokugawa Miyaji."
The little witch also returned the salute, and she behaved seriously and solemnly, which was completely different from the girl eating tonkatsu rice in the Internet café.
Around the Tokugawa Kairen, the politicians and businessmen who had been trying to scold him like a dog's skin plaster saw the attitude of the Tokugawa Kairen and immediately looked at the little shrine maiden.
"Could this be the daughter of the Uesugi family?"
"I've heard of it, it's the genius shrine maiden, right?"
"I didn't expect Miss Uesugi to be so beautiful, which added a lot to this banquet hall."
Words of praise like these soon poured out to the little witch again.
It is said that if one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, these people want to befriend the people of the Tokugawa realm, and naturally they also want to confront the people around him.
Qiao Du munched on a large lobster while secretly observing.
The little witch was silent in the face of these praises.
"I thought you wouldn't come, after all, it's noisy here, I know you don't like it, but I didn't expect to see you, which really surprised me."
The Tokugawa Kaito said again.
The implication of his words was probably to show that he understood the little witch very well, and the little witch came here specially for him.
Even Qiao Du can see that this thing likes little witches.
"My father said, let me not stay in the shrine all the time to practice, but come out more often to see the world."
The little witch explained quietly.
"Indeed, if you can't see the world, how can you see all living beings and finally get a glimpse of your true self."
The Tokugawa Kaito chuckled and glanced at a man not far away, who was also surrounded by others.
"Poetry, the vice minister of the Ministry of the Environment is also here today, and I will introduce you to him later, and there will be a lot of cooperation with the Island Taisha and the Ministry of the Environment in the future."
"Thank you, Miyaji-sama."
The little witch silently put aside the relationship with the other party, and did not react when she was called by her name, but returned the salute with honorifics.
The people of the Tokugawa realm quickly took the little witch to the vice minister of the Ministry of the Environment to socialize, and Qiao Du was still eating.
A few of the people who tried to befriend the Tokugawa realm before couldn't keep up, or they saw that they couldn't get into the next level of dialogue, so they stayed with interest, got a few glasses of wine, and sat down at the table next to Qiao Dui.
"Who was that?"
Through the bright red text above his head, Qiao Twilight learned that the person asking was a businessman, and for a secular businessman like them, the Chosen One was very mysterious, let alone the people of the Island Taisha Shrine.
"The youngest daughter of the Uesugi family, Uesugi is also one of the five major families of Wajima Taisha, and the palace secretary who took office is the Uesugi family."
A politician explained.
"It's a pity that the Uesugi family made a mistake later, and the current head of the family failed to inherit the position of the palace secretary, so the Tokugawa family sat down, and the Uesugi family has no men in this generation, so it seems that it is gradually declining."
"Speaking of which, I remember that Tokugawa Miyaji originally had a marriage contract with the daughter of the Uesugi family, could it be this shrine maiden?"
"That's not it, the marriage contract of the Tokugawa palace secretary is the eldest daughter, but it's a pity that the eldest daughter and the second daughter died in an accident before, and now the Uesugi family has only one daughter, and I'm afraid the marriage will be delayed."
"I think it's a matter of time before these two families get married, the Uesugi family needs support, and the Tokugawa Miyaji needs stability with the Island Taisha Shrine."
"Will the Toyotomi family allow this to happen, I heard that they have accepted another batch of sponsorship from the Waste Capital Group"
It's always happy to eat melons, not to mention that Qiao Du uses to serve gossip with delicacies from the mountains and seas.
As he listened, he felt a lot of information about the identities of these people through the red letters on their heads.
At this time, Qiao Du saw the Tokugawa realm people leave the vice minister of the Ministry of the Environment with the little shrine maiden and walk towards the private room where the banquet hall was resting.
Qiao Twilight touched her mouth with a napkin on the table and stood up.
It's time to get your hands dirty.
