Chapter 437 40. In the End, Wisdom and Strategy Are More Profound
Three days later, another judgment came.
The last son of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, Yamauchi Jigoro succeeded the Zikojizaemon family on the condition of his marriage to Zikoji Yi.
The mystery is revealed.
My nephew married his aunt and became my grandfather's son-in-law.
The family members who were originally going to complain collectively shut up. Yamauchi Yoshiharu is the son of a feudal lord, who dares to talk nonsense?
And Xiaoheita also suddenly realized that Yamauchi Jigoro was the youngest son of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, and the younger son always received more care. Without making any achievements, he will inherit the family fortune of 3,500 yuan.
Reincarnation is really a technical job!
If I had known this would be the result, Xiaoping would be so angry! You told me earlier! An old father paves the way for his son, which pities the hearts of parents all over the world. People's hearts are made of flesh, how can Xiaopingtai still say that?
Jigoro Yamauchi is related to Koheita no matter what, so it's not unacceptable to have him as a brother. This made Xiao Pingtai very confused and even thought of something he shouldn't have thought of.
Uncle Tsunliang must know something about this matter, and both parties must have discussed it. The son born to Matsugo was destined to be unable to inherit the Yamauchi family business. He was neither the eldest son nor the legitimate son. He is still young and his talent is not obvious.
This arrangement is already the best that his parents can get for him. If Yamauchi Yoshiharu were ten years younger, there would still be a chance to give him to a big countryman as an adopted son. Slowly wait for him to grow up, but now his father Yamauchi Yoshiharu is living on his own hands, how can he watch him grow up.
Now that this matter has been finalized, Xiaoheita always writes a letter to congratulate Uncle Tsunaliang.
After thinking about what to say, Yamauchi Jigoro and Uncle Tsunaliang were related by blood, and his status declined. Uncle Tsunliang didn't suffer much, he was completely right with his ancestors.
The family fortune of fifty-two guan and 500 guan was passed down to his generation, and it quickly grew to 3,500 guan. He was also the lord of the city, and ranked among the elders of the imperial family. The Zikojizaemon family is already considered to be at the top of their game, and they can be said to be extremely popular.
Even Yamauchi Yoshiharu's beloved youngest son was transferred from the first clan to the royal clan, and he did not hide his eagerness to pave the way for Yamauchi Taro.
"I'm very happy to hear that Jigoroden and Ai Wen have made a gift, and my uncle's family is safe..."
Xiaopingtai wrote word for word, maybe because there were too many official documents, and the original few strokes of dog crawling now look a little bit different. In addition, I occasionally practice two-stroke calligraphy every now and then, and it looks really impressive.
A Ling was grinding ink beside her, while Xiao Pingtai wrote a sentence and she read a sentence. Not only does she recognize kana, but she also recognizes Chinese characters in general. 【Note 1】
This is probably one of the reasons why Xiaopingtai and Aya Qinse are in harmony. If the wife doesn't understand anything, she doesn't feel like chatting at all, and she can't say a few words all day long. No matter how loving you are in the beginning, the relationship will wear off.
"I would like to congratulate you. May you be in good health and may your family be safe."
After writing the last sentence, Xiaoping picked up the paper. It was cold in winter and the ink could not melt. The pen and ink were sometimes thick and sometimes light. He looked at the light and touched up where the handwriting was too light.
"The correct writing is much better than that of my brother (Hosokawa Kainyu)." A Ling looked at the letter and commented.
"Unexpectedly, Madam is also a famous calligrapher!" Koheta teased. Hosokawa Takame had to use her time to practice spears and swords, so she never had time to practice calligraphy. He is a serious warrior who wants to win fame immediately, so naturally a gun and a club are better.
"I'll make a copy, and you'll know after you look at it." Aya rolled her eyes at Xiao Pingtai, then she started writing.
After writing just one line, Xiao Pingtai understood that he had lost, and that he had not lost unfairly. Although A Ling's calligraphy has a strong sense of imitation, the imitation is good and the fonts are elegant. I definitely copied it countless times from the copybook of a big shot in the Heian period, so I have some basic skills.
"Based on this word, A-Ling, you are more than enough to be a palace maid [Note 2]."
"I can't compare to you warriors who have to hold their guns and swords and go into battle to kill the enemy..."
In the end, I used A Ling's more graceful calligraphy and gave it to the envoy to send to Eramata. Who said the word "wife" is beautiful?
The two of them were chatting with each other. Aji made a light bulb again and opened the door.
"Come on, Komaba will send someone to call you."
Xiaopingtai quickly let go, coughed twice, and pretended to be serious and said that he understood.
…
Not mentioning the skidding all the way from Fuzhong to Komaba while riding in the snow, Koheita entered the annex of Komaba Onsen.
In the past six months, Yamauchi Yoshiharu has been recuperating here a lot. Every one of Yamauchi's retainers' legs has become thinner when running around, and the big hot spring has long been familiar to them.
When Murakami Yoshimitsu saw Heita Xiao enter the building, he had already received the order and took Heita inside without any hesitation without even informing him.
"Why is Your Highness calling you so urgently?"
"I don't know, but His Highness is in good spirits today."
In a few steps, we arrived at the door of the Japanese style room where Yamauchi Yoshiharu was temporarily training. Murakami Yoshimitsu announced in a low voice, and a summons came from inside. So he opened the barrier door and let Xiao Pingtai enter the house alone.
Mrs. Shirakawa and the two maids who were originally serving Yamauchi Yoshiharu all retreated. Seeing that Yamauchi Yoshiharu was about to sit up straight, Koheita hurriedly ran up to help him.
"Why have you summoned Your Highness?"
Xiaopingta asked before he sat down. When he sat down and raised his head, he found that Yamauchi Yoshiji was staring at him with an indescribable look. So Koheta quickly lowered his head and let Yamauchi Yoshiharu observe.
"Xiao Pingtai, I have no choice but to do this. I hope you can understand."
"Don't dare, don't dare, His Highness Jigoro steps into the uncle's house, it will be a happy event for everyone."
Kobayata lowered his head even deeper. The more he thought about it, the less he dared to guess what Yamanouchi Yoshiharu was thinking.
"No need to do that. Raise your head and talk. There is no one else here except you and me, the king and the minister."
Yanauchi Yoshiharu took a book from the bookshelf next to the armchair. It was very thin and didn't seem to have many pages. He handed it to Kobayata. Kobayata hurriedly took it with both hands and took two steps back before opening it.
"The girl is honest and selfless, not as smooth and flexible as you..."
Yanauchi Yoshiharu was still talking, but Kobayata couldn't listen to him at all. In Kobayata's eyes, a dozen thin pieces of paper were nothing compared to thousands of troops.
[Note 1]: Since the Heian period, most women, including women of samurai nobles, have learned three skills. They are calligraphy, musical instruments, and literature. Calligraphy is not mentioned, but musical instruments include pipa, koto, flute, etc. Literature refers to waka, renga, Chinese poetry, etc. It is not necessary to know all of them, just be proficient in one of them.
【Note 2】: The palace maids here are not the same as the palace maids that everyone knows in a broad sense. They can be written as "female officials in the palace", that is, noble women who hold official positions in the imperial palace.
Have you read "Dream of Red Mansions"? Jia Yuanchun was also this kind of female official when she first entered the palace. In theory, she was not qualified to sleep with the emperor, but was more for the purpose of learning palace etiquette, which was equivalent to a top-level gilding. When she reached a certain age, she would be released from the palace to marry.
