December 25th, the seventh year of Tianzheng (1579), is a special day for the Yuqiu family. This day is the wedding of the young master of the Yuqiu family, Yu Qiu Shang, and his fiancée Asai Chacha. Since Yu Qiuping and Ashi were previously After being under house arrest for nearly a year, the long-overdue wedding was postponed until a year later.
With Yu Qiuping's current status in the Oda family, as the young master, Yu Qiu Shang's wedding should have been attended by many guests. However, due to the special nature of this wedding, it was Yu Qiuping and Yu Qiu Shang's father and son who refused to attend Zhi's wedding. Tian Nobunaga's marriage was only accomplished by the gift of marriage, so many important officials in the Oda family did not dare to come to congratulate him. Yu Qiupei also knew the reason and expressed his understanding. He himself also wanted to keep the wedding low-key so as not to cause any further confusion. Oda Nobunaga's dissatisfaction.
As a result, the wedding of Yu Qiu Shang and Cha Cha was held in a small shrine. Kentaro Tian Shen was invited to be the master of ceremonies of the wedding, and he was busy at the moment. And Haotani Honoko, Mori Ranmaru and others were making arrangements to visit The guests' seats. These two guys, Ikeda Tsuneaki and Sawaki Yoshiyuki, were not afraid of anything. They took the risk of irritating Oda Nobunaga and went to the banquet carelessly. At this moment, they were talking non-stop around Yu Qiu Shang. .
"You're such a promising kid. My Yuanzhu is one year older than you, but he doesn't even have one-tenth of your abilities." Ikeda Hengxing patted Yu Qiu Shang on the shoulder and couldn't help but sigh, " It’s really not easy. At that time, we all thought that your father was already the most talented young man in the world. Who would have thought that your achievements are far more than your father’s 20 years old!"
"Uncle Ikeda, thank you." Yu Qiushang bowed to Hengxing Ikeda very humbly, but the latter waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Oh, you are not an outsider, so you will find it strange! You have to know, Your uncle doesn't praise others casually. If he says you can do it, you really can do it."
"I can testify to this." Yoshiyuki Sawaki also smiled at the side, "Uncle Ikeda, you usually do nothing but brag about your first place. As long as he has something to brag about, he will never say anything about others. Nice words. If he praises you, he must really think highly of you."
"Screw you, why are you chewing your tongue in front of the child?" Ikeda Tsuneaki pushed Sawaki Ryoichi and pushed the latter several steps away. Sawaki Yoshiyuki made a face at Ikeda Tsuneaki and went to talk to him. Several other people started chatting. Seeing Yoshiyuki Sawaki walking away, Ikeda Hengxing calmly said to Yu Qiu Shang: "You know who you want to marry, right?"
"Miss Asai." Yu Qiu Shang replied without knowing what was going on.
"It's not just Ms. Asai!" Ikeda Tsuneaki suddenly lowered his head and whispered in a very serious voice.
"Ah?" Yu Qiu Shang was stunned when he heard this, and was immediately confused, "Father never said there was a dowry... What should I do..."
"Hahahahaha, I'm so scared of you kid. You're not even married yet, but you're already as strict with your wife as your father?" Ikeda Hengxing couldn't help laughing, and then he joked to Yu Qiu Shang like he was succeeding. He said, "It's okay, Chacha is just alone! But you have to know that Chacha is the daughter of Princess Ashi! Princess Ashi is the sweetheart of all our Owari samurai! We can no longer protect Princess Ashi's happiness, and her daughter None of us Owari samurai will sit idly by and watch for happiness! You kid, you must treat Princess Chacha well in the future, otherwise you can wait for us all Owari samurai to cause trouble for you!"
After that, Ikeda Hengxing waved his hand carelessly, turned around and left. And Tian Shen Kentaro had just finished busy with the things around him and took the time to walk to Yu Qiu Shang's side.
"Sir, I have really worked hard for you this time." When Yu Qiu Shang saw the master coming, he hurriedly bowed.
"It's not hard." Tian Shen Kentaro stroked his gray beard, glanced at Yu Qiu Shang, and then sighed and said, "In a blink of an eye, I have known you for almost 10 years, and I am already over 70 years old. The remaining I'm afraid I don't have much time left. If I can do something for you, it won't be in vain as a master and disciple."
"Sir, why did you say this?" Yu Qiu Shang had a vague premonition, but that premonition disappeared from Tian Shen Kentaro's cheerful smile.
"It is rare for people to pass seventy. I have lived long enough and have no regrets in life. Even if I have, those regrets are irreversible." Kentaro Tian Shen shook his head indifferently, then stopped and stared. Yu Qiu Shang said, "I have taught countless disciples in my life. Your swordsmanship is second only to that of your uncle Yagyu Muneyan under my sect. It can be said that you are accomplished in learning. It's a pity that you only have one arm. I have many swords." I can't teach you any moves. But, if you have both arms -"
Kentaro Tian Shen paused for a moment, with a smile on his lips, "I dare say that your achievements are far from what they are today."
"Sir?" Yu Qiu Shang realized that Tian Shen Kentaro seemed to want to tell him something.
"After you get married and start a family, the burden on you becomes even heavier." Kentaro Tianchen patted the place where Yu Qiu Shang usually hangs his sword on his waist, "There are more things to protect. Don't let it down. Mr. Suwon's expectations must be worthy of Miss Chacha."
"Don't worry, sir." Yu Qiu Shang nodded in agreement, but found that Tian Shen Kentaro suddenly took off the sword from his own waist and tied it around the waist of Yu Qiu Shang, who did not carry a knife today.
"My beloved disciple is getting married, and I don't have any gifts to give. The old famous swords have long since been scattered. This sword has been with me for some time, so let him sharpen it more with you." Kentaro Tian Shen smiled. Di nodded towards Yu Qiu Shang.
"Thank you, master." Yu Qiu Shang didn't refuse much.
"This knife is called 'Yuanchi'." Kentaro Tian Shen slowly pulled the knife out of Yu Qiu Shang's scabbard. Yu Qiu Shang discovered that there was a gap an inch below the blade - this was a huge gap. of flaws.
"Sometimes, some imperfections are inevitable. Don't strive for perfection in everything." Kentaro Tian Shen said in a low voice with sincerity, "A sword can save people, it doesn't have to be made into a handicraft. The way of swordsmanship is like this, and people are like this; sometimes , the same is true for family affection.”

On the other side of the shrine, Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede were cuddling together, looking at Yu Qiu Shang and Cha Cha who were preparing. Yu Qiu Shang put on a groom's clothes, and Cha Cha also put on a white auspicious suit. The two children behaved like adults.
"Time flies so fast." Imagawa Kaede looked at his child, his eyes were already red, "In a blink of an eye... Shang'er will get married."
She raised her right forearm, put it in front of her in disbelief, and said to Yu Qiuping, "He was so big when he was just born. I can still remember the way I held him in my arms. Why? You’ve grown so big, it still feels like yesterday.”
"Yes, in a blink of an eye, you will become a grandma." Yu Qiuping teased in a low voice from the side, disturbing Imagawa Feng's sentimental mood.
"Huh, what are you talking about?" Imagawa Feng pinched Yu Qiuping's waist hard, "I'm only 35, okay? You're going to be a grandfather."
"Yes, yes, we Feng'er will always be young and beautiful." Yu Qiuping apologized hurriedly.
"You deceiving liar." Imagawa Feng turned away, but Yu Qiuping chased after her relentlessly, whispering in her ear, "How dare you lie? Do you want me to prove it tonight?
"
"Hey, this is Shang'er's wedding." Imagawa Feng's face turned slightly red, and he scolded with dissatisfaction. Only then did Yu Qiuping calm down, hugging Imagawa Feng, and looking forward to the couple in the distance.
"This is how it feels to be a parent." After a long time, Imagawa Kaede couldn't help but sigh, "Today I finally understand how Jiayan felt when he sent me to get married, and why he did such ridiculous things after the wedding.
.”
"What did the Governor do?" Yu Qiuping immediately became curious, "Come and tell me."
"Don't tell me." Imagawa Kaede crossed her arms and pouted, "Who told you to interrupt me just now?"
However, Yu Qiuping took advantage of the moment when Imagawa Kaede raised his hand and suddenly dug his two hands into Imagawa Kaede's armpits.
"You, you, you! Grrrrrrrr..."
"I haven't scratched you yet, why are you itching?" Yu Qiuping responded to Imagawa Feng's struggle in a dumbfounded manner, refusing to let go.
"Ah, there are so many people watching here, don't scratch me! Otherwise, I will lose all my face by you!" Imagawa Kaede saw that he couldn't stop laughing, and Ashi seemed to be leading the maid towards him.
He came over here and begged in a low voice.
"Then tell me what His Highness the Governor has done!" Yu Qiuping put forward the conditions with a smirk.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you! Stop first!" Imagawa Feng shook her head repeatedly as if she was admitting defeat. When Yu Qiuping stopped her hands, she immediately turned around with her cheeks puffed up and glared at Yu Qiuping.
"You can fight if you want! Keep your word, tell me the secret first!" Yu Qiuping raised his hands in surrender.
"Humph." Imagawa Kaede snorted, and then he also laughed, "That was what the old guard who had followed Jia Yan when my brother came to Beijing told me."
Imagawa Kaede turned to the side and said with some embarrassment: "The old guard said that on the night of our wedding, we strictly guarded the door of the new house all night, and no one was allowed to come and listen to the wall!"
"Waiting all night?" Yu Qiuping also laughed when he heard this, "This is really a passionate love for my daughter."
But when he thought about it again, he realized that something was wrong.
"I vaguely remember that when I woke up that morning, I went to find Nobuyuki Anesama and the others." Yu Qiuping suddenly sat up straight and frowned, which surprised Imagawa Kaede.
"They said that they wanted to listen to Qiang Gen in the middle of the night, but His Royal Highness the Family Governor was guarding the door and drove them back." Yu Qiuping's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and suddenly something flashed in his heart, "Wouldn't that mean that,
Your Highness, the Governor, was lying in front of the door and listening to the wall all night?"
"What are you thinking about? Is Jia Yan such a person who doesn't understand etiquette? Who would listen to his daughter?" Imagawa Kaede said angrily after hearing this, and hit Yu Qiuping hard on the head.
, but Yu Qiuping froze in place without any reaction.
"What's wrong? Did you knock me silly?" Imagawa Feng glanced at Yu Qiuping, his eyes were full of smiles, but Yu Qiuping's expression was solemn.
"His Royal Highness the Governor is not necessarily here to listen to Qiang Gen." Yu Qiuping turned his head and looked at Imagawa Feng, who gradually became serious because of Yu Qiuping's reaction.
"That night, didn't I tell you the secret of my life as a time traveler?"
