A Tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 109 33. Naoe Yamatosaku's Affection

Kannayo Okinetsuna, like a big star, dragged Heita Xiao all the way to Naoe's residence, and even helped Heita call the door. Afraid that others would not know who was coming, he shouted loudly, "Dan Zhenggang's house is here on Zixiao Road. Open the door quickly. If you neglect Tan Zheng, watch your skin carefully."

Xiaoheita was not a pushy person. As soon as the door opened, he quickly entered the yard, covered Kamyu Otsuna's mouth and told him to stop screaming. They were all his own and knew each other, so don't let everyone in the street know.

The servant who came to open the door thought that some strongmen were coming. Well, two strongmen and seven or eight accomplices rushed into the courtyard without asking any questions. Just when I was about to call someone, someone came to rob me in broad daylight. When I saw that Kamyu Otsuna was really there, I quickly shut up.

Xiaoheita quickly apologized to others. After all, he broke in suddenly and didn't even check the door of his house (it doesn't count if Kamyu Otsuna yells at the door, but who can hear him clearly when he yells at other people's doors). Everyone in Naojiang's residence hurriedly ran out and looked at this group of people.

Naoe Keizuna heard the noise and came out of the house. When he saw Heita Ko, before he could say anything, Kanyo Oikatsuna spoke up: "Yamato Mamoru, look, I brought Danmasa to you, you have to thank me."

Naoe Keizuna smiled knowingly: "You still have something to do, so go ahead and do your work first. I won't miss a drink with you." "Okay, it's settled, and you will come as well." Kanyo Oikatsuna happily went back to work.

Koheita then went up to visit Naoe Keetsuna, first apologized for causing the commotion, and then said hello to Naoe Keetsuna. After all, Naoe Keizuna was an old warrior from the family of Kanto Commander Uesugi Teruhora, and his status was not generally high, so he calmly accepted Koheita's bow. Then he quickly helped Xiao Pingtai up and took Xiao Pingtai's hand into the house.

At the same time, he ordered the servants to place the three followers of Heita. Heita had disturbed others and knew his own position very well. He must not come empty-handed. He quickly took the bag filled with dried fruits special to Shinano that someone had given him through the back door to find a job. Take out the gold paint box.

Then he happened to see two girls standing hand in hand behind Naoe Keizuna and looking at him curiously. The older girl looked to be seven or eight years old, and the younger one was at most four or five years old. Xiaopingtai opened the lacquer box and handed it to the maid who was standing by to look after the two little girls. The two girls each took a candied fruit and put it in their mouths, smiling very happily. Naoe Keizuna said politely: "I came as soon as I came. What else did I bring with me? Thank you soon, Mr. Dansho."

The two little girls smiled obediently and saluted Xiao Pingtai, and then they were led away by the maid with the fruit.

Koheita and Naoe Keetsuna entered the house, and he subconsciously asked: "Is your daughter's name called Afune?" Naoe Keetsuna asked, how could an outsider know the name of his youngest daughter, Koheita, and he was very surprised. He glanced at Xiao Pingtai, and then said: "My daughter is indeed called the boat. I don't know how I know that."

Koheita was still thinking that the little girl in front of her, who was only four or five years old, was the future wife of Naoe Kanetsugu, one of the two companions in the world. She was very cute.

Only after listening to Naoe Keizuna's question did he realize, yes, how could he know the name of this little girl? This is very taboo. If an outsider, or a man, asks for the name of a little girl, it would sound like Meng Lang.

Koheita hadn't yet made up a lie to answer Naoe Keitsuna, but Naoe Keetsuna said to himself, as if asking Koheita specifically: "You are not married yet, are you twenty-two this year?"

Kodaira quickly responded (the false age is twenty-two, the real age is twenty-one, but in ancient times, the false age was basically said), Naoe Keizuna thought thoughtfully: "The age difference is a bit too much, otherwise it would be quite good."

"Wait a minute, I'm really just asking. I'm curious about Naoe Kanetsugu's wife when I traveled through time. There's nothing else." Xiaoheita's heart was churning.

Naoe Keizuna's face turned red when he saw Koheita. He thought he had guessed it right. His eyes immediately changed and he began to look at Koheita's appearance seriously. He also ordered the servant: "Go and ask Madam to come out. There are guests. Coming."

"No, your daughter is only five years old. It's too early." Xiao Pingtai was shocked, but couldn't say anything.

Naoe Keetsuna asked someone to serve tea, and asked Xiaoheita what he was doing here with a smile. "What are you doing here?"

Xiaoping took a sip of tea, it was a bit hot, and put it down again. "I have never had a good horse, so I thought of buying two in Echigo."

"The Shinano Kiso horse is indeed a little worse than the Echigo horse. You take my name card and I will ask your family to go to the town horse house with you." Naoe Keizuna heard that it was such a simple thing.

After the two said a few words and chatted politely about the weather and other things for a while, a woman in her thirties entered the room. At first glance, he knew that she was Naoe Keizuna's wife, and Koheita quickly said hello to her.

"This is Nanxin Shanuchi's general, Tiepao Zhixiaoji." Mrs. Naoe sat down and looked at Xiaoheita with some doubts, and then Naoe Keizuna quickly said a few words in her ear.

Mrs. Naoe nodded after hearing this, "What is your background?" "I am from the Fujiwara Kita Family Kanin-ryu, the Sanjo Kōsen branch, the regent left minister Tadahira, the last descendant of Prime Minister Zikoji, the grandson of Zikoji Nakano, Major General Zikoji Kingo. Congzi.”

I haven't said this name for several months, but I am still very skilled. Mrs. Naoe nodded, still satisfied with her background. After all, it is considered one of the better branches of the Fujiwara family, not bad.

"How is the annual salary?" Are you still asking about the salary? Are you really testing your son-in-law? Koyata had to tell the truth: "The magistrate of Uchida County has 500 kan, the salary is 120 kan, and there is some income, probably 2,500 kan a year."

Mrs. Naoe was immediately satisfied when she heard 2,500 kan. She glanced at Naoe Kagetsuna and said jokingly: "The Yamato-no-kami, who is the lord of the city, rides 40 horses, and serves 200 horses, only has more than 3,000 kan a year."

As for appearance and height, they are not the primary considerations. After all, in ancient times, marriage first considered the match of family status, then the man's character and future, and finally the appearance. Koyata's appearance is average, but his status and income are not bad, which fully meets the requirements. Naoe Kagetsuna saw that his wife had finished asking questions, "Danzheng was brilliant in the Kanto campaign, and he was a man of both talent and intelligence."

"If he is 22 years old, Alang is only 9 years old, which is indeed a big difference." Mrs. Naoe was a little doubtful, but Naoe Kagetsuna nodded to Koyata and said softly and quickly: "Afune."

Mrs. Naoe's face changed slightly. Afune is only five years old. This is a joke! In this world, it is normal for girls to get married at thirteen or fourteen. It is completely fine for Alang to wait for three years to get married, but Afune is ten years younger. There are too many variables. If Koyata has something wrong one day, it will be troublesome.

Koyata looked at the two innocently, communicating silently with their eyes, "Yamato-no-mori, Yamato-no-mori, it's still early." Koyata reminded.

The couple finally stopped talking, "Okay, okay, this is not urgent, let's discuss it later."

Then they let go of this chapter, and Mrs. Naoie stopped calling him Tanzheng and started calling him Xiao Pingtai, asking him what he wanted to eat and whether he needed someone to help him take a bath in the evening.

Xiao Pingtai saw that they had misunderstood each other deeply and felt helpless.
