Chapter 781 Talking
"Fortunately, it's not as bad as I imagined." Qin Heqing looked at the white rice, dried fish and miso soup in front of him, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Because in his original thinking, the life of the island country daimyo, who lacks products and is seriously undersupplied, is just like that. There may be white rice, but it is not easy to eat it every meal, so the usual diet At the time, it should be mainly coarse grains such as chestnut rice. The side dishes are mostly radishes and various wild vegetables, and then there is miso soup...
Fish, especially fresh fish, should be a luxury item, which can only be eaten at banquets and entertaining distinguished guests. As for meat... Now that Yixiangzong is making trouble and starting to affect the social structure, eating meat is completely challenging Yixiangzong's bottom line , so unless the guardian doesn't want to do it anymore, he will blatantly eat that kind of food that is easy to cause disaster in front of outsiders.
Not to mention, Hojo Soun himself is still a Buddhist, so dishes that abide by the rules and precepts are the norm, and everything else is evil.
"It may also be because we are the distinguished guests of Hojo's family, so we have been treated specially. The real daily situation may not be as beautiful as we imagined." Ayukawa reminded from the side.
"That's better than eating bran directly!" Qin Heqing sighed.
If that's the case, he needs to think carefully about his attitude towards living in the island country during the Warring States period. Maybe it's a good choice to go back to Daming directly?
At least compared to an island country where nothing but white rice is salted fish, or soup and wild vegetables, Daming’s life level, which is rich in natural resources, is closer to future generations, and can soothe his restless heart.
Afterwards, the two of them stopped talking and started enjoying the food in front of them.
"Please bring me another serving of the same food."
"yes."
...
"My lord, Mr. Zaoyun invites you to come over." Around ten o'clock in the morning in the later generations, the maid whom I had seen before reappeared in the guest room where Qin Heqing was, and greeted him.
"Lead the way ahead." Qin Heqing exchanged glances with Ayukawa after hearing the words, got up and said to the maid.
"My lord, please come with me." Then he got up, and led Qin Heqing and Ayukawa to the government hall on the first floor of the Tianshou Pavilion.
In just a moment, a group of three came to the middle of the hall, and then the maid bowed and left the hall, leaving Qin Heqing and Ayukawa directly in the center of the hall.
Qin Heqing and Ayukawa did not make a sound, but instead looked at the people in the room.
There are not many people, and there are only five people including Hojo Soun, three of them are women, namely Hojo Soun and two young women, two of them are men, both are middle-aged, but their temperament is different. They are quite different, one person has a deep complexion and a gloomy temperament, exuding an aura like a hero from all over his body, he can be seen as a scheming person.
A man with a burly body, a firm face, and a keen expression as if spying on prey, coupled with the gap in the waist and the unique half-moon head of the island country ronin, it can be understood without further words that this is undoubtedly a samurai.
"I don't know what orders the Hojo Lord asked me to do." Qin Heqing and Hojo Soun met with a salute, then knelt down in the hall according to the etiquette at this time, looked at Hojo Soun who was sitting on the main seat, and asked .
"When discussing the state affairs today, I have arranged the matters mentioned by Qin Jun, but the family members are very puzzled by this, and I don't know the significance of this move, so I told the retainers about the transaction with Qin Jun After coming out, the retainers suddenly realized, but they have doubts about Qin Jun's identity and strength, and want to talk to Qin Jun in person." Hojo Soun explained calmly.
"Are they the ones sitting here?" Qin Heqing suddenly realized that the so-called conversation was fake, and that it was true to test him one step further, and couldn't help but look at the people present.
"Yes." Hojo Soun affirmed.
"I don't know how many names are..." Qin Heqing asked.
"Old man Matsuda Kenhide." The gloomy-faced middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
During the Warring States Period of the island country where the average life expectancy was only 40 or 50 years old, it was all right for a middle-aged man of 30 to call himself an old man!
Not only the island country, but also Daming!
Because according to the marriage age at that time, the thirties may be the grandfather of the two children...
"So it's Mr. Matsuda, sorry for your disrespect." Qin Heqing said politely.
He didn't even understand the history of the island country, not to mention the biographical documents such as Gojo Hojo family biographies that specifically tell about Hojo Soun and the Hojo family's historical biography, so he doesn't know who Matsuda Kenhide is, and what he has in the Hojo family. such status.
"Hojo Huanan." Then, the samurai dressed as a general next to him said coldly.
"Hojo Shiyasu has met Mr.." The young girl sitting on Hojo Soun's left hand came down and bowed slightly.
To be polite.
"Nanjo Yun." The young woman who was dressed like a miko but slightly differently responded with a cold face.
It can be said that except for Hojo Ujiyasu who let him know what kind of character he is because of the history class and the previous Ayukawa reminder, he doesn't know anyone else.
"Then what do you guys want to talk about?" Qin Heqing greeted everyone with a smile, then looked at the people present again and said.
"I heard that you are from the Qin family in Tosa, so I don't know which branch of the Qin family you are." Several people looked at each other, and finally a middle-aged man who claimed to be Kenhide Matsuda asked.
"Although I have a relationship with the Tosa Qin clan, I am not a member of the Tosa Qin clan, but a descendant of the Qin clan that was separated from the Qin clan in earlier years. My ancestor is He Shenggong after Jiugong. It has the same origin as Tosa Qin, but a different branch."
"Born to be distinguished, but can anyone prove it?" Matsuda Kenhide sneered and asked again.
"I heard that the Hojo family is from the Hojo family of the Kamakura shogunate, can anyone prove it?" Qin Heqing looked at Kenhide Matsuda for a while and then asked rhetorically.
Instead, he directly used Hojo's background as an article. It is typical to scold a bald man in front of a monk, which is an act of courting death.
"Bastard, what do you mean by that!?" Without waiting for Kenhide Matsuda to speak, Hojo Genan jumped up from the ground one step ahead, glaring at Qin Heqing and questioning loudly.
It's scary to act like you don't give me a reasonable explanation, so you can't get out of here intact.
"Are you only allowed to doubt my rhetoric and identity, but can't I also doubt the source of your identity? Why? Just because you are officials now?" Qin Heqing relied on his own Ayukawa and hole cards, and did not take Hojo Huanan Putting the threat in his eyes, he stared, and asked back without showing any weakness.
"That's right, just because we are officials, others will recognize what we say! If you have the ability, you can also set up a territory and make yourself a guardian!" Hojo Huanan scolded in a very real way as if he had no brains.
PS: Do you think there is only Yewang Nobuna? Wrong, there are still many elements in it, and two of them have been revealed except Nobuna, it depends on whether you can find them
