Chapter 341 32. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu Is Happy

Koheita was busy setting traps for the God. Others were also busy and happy.

Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu, who was strong, 1.72 meters tall, handsome, and a perfect protagonist, had a son. Mrs. Kiso was pregnant for ten months, and when she gave birth, she gave birth to another fat boy.

Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu was so happy that he could give this son to Kiso Yoshimasa. Kiso Yoshimasa was also very happy that her sister was very proud to give birth to a son.

In the Warring States Period, the infant mortality rate was very high. Not to mention Japan, the infant mortality rate was very high all over the world at that time. A cold or inflammation could kill a person immediately, not to mention infants and children who were already weak.

If Yamanouchi Taro, born to Mrs. Nagao, died, then Mrs. Kiso's son would become Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu's eldest son. Although the establishment of the heir is the orthodox patriarchal law, it depends on whether Mrs. Nagao can continue to give birth to sons.

You, Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu, calculated the family property of Kiso family with more than 4,000 kan, while he, Kiso Yoshimasa, calculated the family property of Yamanouchi family with more than 100,000 kan. Both of them had bad intentions and only thought about good things.

In addition, Yamanouchi Yoshiharu also succeeded. Lady Shirakawa and Koheita's sister each gave birth to a daughter. Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu was happy, and Yamanouchi Yoshiharu was happy.

Don't get me wrong, I really didn't mean anything else!

It's good to have two daughters. If they were sons, they might have to divide the family property, or find a stepfather for them. If that doesn't work, they would have to find a big temple to be the host. It's always a worrying thing. If any son has a different heart, it would be even more disgusting.

But daughters are different. They are very useful. They can be used to marry other powerful names or their sons, to conclude a marriage alliance, and to win over powerful partners. Or they can be married to the powerful families under their command, and in two or three generations, the people of this powerful family can be assimilated into one of their own families.

Don't talk about gender equality, this era is so realistic. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu will definitely treat his two new sisters well, and will also prepare a top dowry for them.

At least these two little girls will live very happily in the first ten years of their lives, enjoying all the good things of this era, such as fine clothes, delicious food, and luxury cars.

Anyway, after the news came from Hamamatsu, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu seemed to have some plans.

Ogasawara Nagatoki, the head of the Ogasawara clan, the former guardian who had just revived the family in northern Shinano, had an established heir, Ogasawara Sadakei, who happened to give birth to a son in March at the beginning of the year.

If these two children can grow up healthily, it is estimated that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu may really match them together. Anyway, the marriage between the lords does not care about the happy life of the younger generation, but only about political interests.

Finally, it was Uncle Tsunayoshi, whose wish of having two children in three years was also realized, and the third aunt continued to work hard and gave him another one. It's a pity that it's another daughter, hahahahahahaha.

Uncle Tsunayoshi has accepted his fate this time. He has three children in his life, all of them daughters. He is destined to have no sons. And he is getting older. He is over 40. In modern times, he is still a handsome uncle, but in ancient times, he is half an old man.

Although there are many big men in this era who can successfully make their wives pregnant in their 70s, such as Mori Motonari who gave birth to Kobayakawa Hidetsugu in his 70s, and Tosho-no-Ohjin who gave birth in his 60s and 70s. But that is just an exception after all. Most people who are still unable to give birth in their 40s and 50s have actually accepted their fate.

Uncle Tsunayoshi also sent this news back to Yamauchi. After reading it, Koyata could only mourn for Uncle Tsunayoshi. The eldest daughter has been a concubine of Yamauchi Yoshiharu. She has been very happy in the past few years and is very loved by Yamauchi Yoshiharu. She also gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Yamauchi family, and they live a happy life.

Judging from Yamauchi Yoshiharu's health, there should be no problem for him to live to his 50s and 60s. Then she will have more than ten years of happy life, so there is no rush.

As for the second daughter, she was betrothed to Taro Asahina earlier, and became the adopted daughter of Yoshiharu Yamanouchi. Although it may be ten years before the two get married, it is not a big problem. It is said that because they live close to each other (not far from Futamata and Kakegawa), the two have been childhood sweethearts and are very happy. Who knows if they are already innocent.

Well, I'm talking nonsense. There is no secret love between children running around, but it is rare to play together before getting married in this era.

Now Uncle Tsunara has another daughter. If he can't give birth, he will probably have to recruit a son-in-law to adopt a son. I don't know whose bad boy is so lucky.

Uncle Tsunara's 1,052 kanwen will definitely be sold to others according to the current situation. Don't underestimate this family business. In the Edo period, the hatamoto family with 4,200 koku would have lived a carefree life.

This made Xiao Pingtai feel a little itchy. If she and A Ling got married and had another son, she would definitely discuss with Uncle Tsunara to keep the money within the family. Let Xiao Pingtai's son marry Uncle Tsunara's daughter. Anyway, there is no real blood relationship. Besides, even if there is a real blood relationship, everyone will only think that it is a close relationship, and no one will think it is inappropriate.

Thinking about it this way, other families have one child in their left hand and one in their right hand. Xiao Pingtai's wife has not entered the house yet, and there is no sign of a child.

Inexplicably, she is looking forward to the wedding next year. Hosokawa Harumiya has also come to see the progress of the new house in person. After learning that it will be completed in April next year, she happily asked someone to calculate the date.

In addition, she also began to order mother-of-pearl lacquerware, various boxes, wardrobes, silk and satin, and various new clothes for A Ling's wedding, four summers, four winters, sixteen singles and doubles.

Their family is a famous shogunate family with 3,000 kan, and the Hosokawa family is one of the most powerful Genji clans in the world. The daughter of the Hosokawa family must not lose face when she gets married. She must be dignified and a dowry of more than 36 pieces is considered perfect.

Hosokawa Harumiya also asked about the content of the betrothal gift of Koyata, and both sides knew it well. After all, according to the rules, the woman's dowry should be slightly more than the man's betrothal gift. Hosokawa Harumiya's coffin must be more than 1,000 kan, and Koyata didn't expect to get rich by marrying a wife. So in the end, the betrothal gift was determined to be around 1,000 kan, which was both decent and appropriate.

All the preparations were going on in an orderly manner, waiting for Koyata's new home to be settled. Even the seedlings to be transplanted in the courtyard and the stone lanterns used as decorations have been ordered, and they will all be delivered in the early spring to ensure that Koyata will have a beautiful new home before mid-April.

Everything is normal, everything goes well, and everything is beautiful.
