On the evening of June 15th, the eighth year of Tianzheng Period (1580), Azuchi City.
"I said, you called me out in a mysterious way, just to come to a place like this?"
Yu Qiuping stood at the door of the Whale House with his arms akimbo, looking at the brothers around him with disdain.
As the important ministers of the Oda family returned one after another for the tea party, the castle town of Azuchi Castle suddenly became lively. Oda Nobunaga did not know whether it was to pretend to be solemn or for some other reason, but he did not come out to receive everyone. In this case
, the important ministers naturally had their own fun.
As early as this morning, Yu Qiuping received an invitation letter from Ikeda Hengxing in the house - Ikeda Hengxing actually wrote an invitation letter? This is unprecedented. Generally speaking, he would ride a horse directly to the door.
There was a knock on the door. Ame Qiupei tidied up and went to the appointment location. Sawaki Yoshiyuki, Maeda Toshiie, Hashiba Hideyoshi, and several brothers all came, and Akechi Mitsuhide was also there.
"Are you familiar with Hengxing?" Yu Qiuping asked in a low voice next to Akechi Mitsuhide.
"Your Highness Ikeda may seem familiar to you." Mitsuhide Akechi sighed helplessly, "The invitation was sent to my house, and it would be too rude to refuse, so I had no choice but to come..."
Ame Qiupei and Akechi Mitsuhide, who were chatting at the time, did not know the destination of their trip and thought it was just for a meal. However, when Sawaki Yoshiyuki, who was leading the way, bypassed two blocks, they found that they had arrived at the most famous place in Azuchi Castle.
The entrance to the whale house.
"I'll take my leave first." Akechi Mitsuhide saw the girls picking up guests at the door, his face turned crimson instantly, turned around and left after saying a few words. Before leaving, he whispered in Yu Qiuping's ear: "Red leaves"
Take care of yourself."
"Hey, why did His Highness Akechi just leave like that!" Ikeda Hengxing obviously did not expect the situation in front of him, and wanted to call out Akechi Mitsuhide to come back, but Yu Qiuping held his hand.
"If I had known that I was going to visit the Whale House, I wouldn't have come." Yu Qiuping glared at Ikeda Hengxing, "I don't come to a place like this. You guys can just go and be happy."
"Oh, don't!" Ikeda Hengxing hurriedly grabbed Yu Qiuping's sleeves to prevent him from leaving, "We all came together to have a lot of fun. It's such a letdown when you all leave!"
"We've been brothers for 20 years, and you still don't know that I don't visit the Whale House." Yu Qiuping turned back to look at Ikeda Hengxing angrily and amusedly, "If nothing else, my wife knows about this.
Don’t you want to beat me to death?”
"It's not like the emperor is far away." Hideyoshi Hashiba also smiled and supported, "Ning Ning is usually very strict, I don't dare to do anything in Himeji City. Isn't it rare to run out now? Of course
Take advantage of the opportunity."
"Farewell, farewell, really farewell." Yu Qiuping felt that he couldn't escape just by using a joking tone, so he adjusted his expression and said seriously to the brothers, "I really can't go."
"Let's do this, Momiji." Maeda Toshiie saw that the conversation seemed to be a little stiff, so he smiled and came out to smooth things over, "Let's eat together. After that, you take care of yours. If you want to leave, just leave first. We'll take care of ours."
"Why do you come here to eat?" Yu Qiuping pointed at the Whale House sign, "There are so many restaurants in Azuchi City, why do you come to the Whale House?"
"Didn't I tell you before that all Antu's restaurants were ruined by my lord's heavy taste?" Ryoichi Sawaki put his arm around Yu Qiupei's shoulders and dragged him to the whale house without explanation, "There are only these
The owner of the Whale House doesn't come here sometimes, so you don't need to put a lot of miso in the dishes."
"You don't want to learn from the master, why are you here in this whale house?" Yu Qiuping saw that the three brothers had talked about this, so he had no choice but to let it go, but he still complained. However, Yoshiyuki Sawaki
The next sentence immediately broke Yu Qiupei's beautiful fantasy about Oda Nobunaga.
"What? My lord always calls the girls directly to the castle tower to play with them. He calls a dozen of them at once."
·
"Four guests, please come inside!" After seeing the four people who had been struggling for a long time at the door and finally came over, the two girls standing on the street immediately greeted them enthusiastically. At this time, the old madam who happened to walk to the door immediately
He glared at the two girls and cursed in a low voice, "You are so indifferent, so indifferent?"
Then she turned around and immediately changed her expression, and said to Yu Qiuping with a smile, "The four of you are Your Highness at first glance, how can you be so disrespectful as a 'guest officer'? Come to the shop, you will be so radiant."
!”
"When you come to this romantic land, there is no one who is not your highness. They are all guest officials!" Ikeda Hengxing patted his chest and said loudly and boldly, causing the girls at the door to laugh.
"You're right, please come in quickly!" It seems that the old bustard has also been in Antu City for a while. He probably met a lot of dignitaries. He has no stage fright at all and treats Yu Qiu equally.
People lead the way.
The door of this Whale House is quite small, but the interior is surprisingly spacious. There are dozens of tables in the hall on the first floor, as well as a medium-sized stage. The candlelight room is full of wine and rouge.
The smell has quite an atmosphere. Yu Qiuping glanced sideways and could see many warriors and wealthy merchants having fun with the women in their arms. The men had rough, black beards and the girls had tender and white skin.
The contrast is clear, and there are some deviant behaviors from time to time - well, it doesn't seem to be deviant here.
"Don't look at anything inappropriate." Yu Qiuping muttered silently in his heart, lowered his head and looked at the floor in front of him, not looking at the "unclothed" girls.
"In the private room on the second floor, prepare some more wine and food." Yoshiyuki Sawaki seemed to be a regular customer here, and he gave orders to the madam in an easy and familiar manner. It was hard to tell that this guy was a bit of a rhodium cesium beryllium secretly.
"Bring some more beautiful girls to accompany you."
"Eh?" Yu Qiuping, who was silently complaining in his heart, immediately woke up after hearing what Sawaki Yoshiyuki said. He raised his head to look for Sawaki Yoshiyuki's location, only to find that he had left the counter and was strutting around.
Walking to the second floor. Yu Qiuping thought that he was too embarrassed to directly tell the old madam that he did not want to accompany the drinking girl, so he hurriedly caught up with him and went to Sawaki Yoshiyuki's side and whispered, "What's going on? Why did you call the girl here?"
Drinking company?"
"Come to the Whale House for dinner and don't ask a girl to accompany you. What are you doing?" Before Sawaki Yoshiyuki could speak, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was walking behind him, lowered his voice and teased, "Really, Momiji?"
"No... didn't you say you came here to eat food without miso!" Yu Qiuping suddenly felt that he had been deceived, and whispered with great dissatisfaction, "You are deceiving me?"
"Hey Hong Ye, I'll be fine with you now." Hideyoshi Hashiba smiled evilly at Yu Qiupei twice, looking like the face of a monkey who stole food, "Why, you don't have to offend all of us.
Send the bartender away?"
"I'm convinced by you." Yu Qiuping held his forehead deeply and whispered helplessly.
"Let me ask, is Mrs. Kaede so strict?" Toshiie Maeda, who had not seen her for a long time, asked curiously, "It stands to reason that women should have passed the age of jealousy. Osomatsu has always been in charge of me.
Just let me go and do whatever I want in the past few years."
"Brother...well, it's not Feng'er's business." Yu Qiuping didn't know how to explain modern people's views on marriage and love, "In short, this matter is just awkward."
"Why don't you just ask a girl to help you pour the wine? As for that." Ikeda Hengxing patted Yu Qiuping's shoulder hard, "It would be awkward if you did this. When I was young, all the girls were fighting for it.
Are you going crazy if you rush to pour me wine?"
"You can do it." Yu Qiuping now felt that he was on a pirate ship and couldn't tell the truth, "That's it, it's up to you. When the time comes, I'll pass on the girl who will accompany me to drink."
"Then I'll accept it." Hashiba Hideyoshi smiled and clapped his hands, "You're welcome!"
·
When they got indoors, a group of people sat down around the table. I wonder if it was because Oda Nobunaga liked Nanban exotics, but many of the restaurants, dance halls, and whale houses in Azuchi Castle were decorated in a Western style.
The traditional whale house is much more gorgeous. After a while, the sumptuous dishes were served. Ame Qiupei tasted a few bites. Although the taste was not as good as the ones in Sakai Town, it can be said to be delicious. No wonder Sawaki Yoshiyuki and the others
Will want to come here.
However, before Yu Qiuping had a few bites of food, a headache immediately came. Five girls with heavy makeup came in from the door, and it seemed that they had prepared one for each of Yu Qiuping and the others. It was late summer now.
, each girl is wearing a blouse as thin as a cicada, and you can vaguely see the bellyband inside, which really makes people think.
The Madam obviously knew that these were distinguished guests, and was waiting at the door to greet her. Under her instructions, several girls quickly took their seats and sat down next to the five warriors. Next to Yu Qiuping, a man in grass also sat down.
The girl in the green smock had her long hair tied up into delicate hair accessories, and she didn't have a heavy aura of fireworks. She looked a little shy and reserved, so she was probably a newcomer. Several other girls began to pour wine for the samurai.
While drinking, she was timid and didn't dare to make any move - of course, it might be that Yu Qiuping's cold attitude made her a little confused.
Compared with Yu Qiupei, the other four are what the prime men who come to the whale house should look like. Ikeda Tsuneaki and Sawaki Ryoichi each hugged a girl, boasting and comparing their martial arts with each other, making the girls in their arms coquettishly
Laughing again and again. Maeda Toshiie asked the girl to sit behind him and rub his shoulders, enjoying himself while waiting for the girl to feed him wine. Hashiba Hideyoshi seemed to be even more impatient, and poured wine into his girl one after another, driving the latter
After her face turned red, he smiled wickedly and put his hand into her blouse, moving around it, watching with satisfaction as the girl's expression and moans changed with his movements.
"Why are you all so skilled..." Yu Qiuping kept slandering him in his heart. The current environment made him almost embarrassed. He kept looking at Hideyoshi Hashiba sitting on the other side of him, wanting him to hurry up and get rid of him.
The girl next to him also hugged him. However, Hideyoshi Hashiba seemed to be concentrating on playing with the girl in his arms and paid no attention to Yu Qiupei's intentions.
