The New Year of the tenth year of Tianzheng (1582) is a special New Year for the people all over the world, because all the memories of wars and troubled times seem to be left behind with the passage of time, and what they are about to usher in will be peace and tranquility.
year - this is happiness that generations of people have not enjoyed since the Onin Rebellion. Although some remote areas have not received news of the world's peace until the New Year, this does not prevent the people of Kinki and Ono areas from marching in the streets.
Sing and dance to welcome the New Year.
Different from the lively folk celebrations, the Oda family did not hold a large New Year's banquet this time - because Oda Nobunaga was on his way back. After inspecting the bastion, Oda Nobunaga had not even arrived at Kasugayama Castle for a few days.
Unable to bear the boredom of waiting for the snow to stop, he took the mother-in-law and headed back, first detouring through Odawara Castle and then taking Tokaido back to Kinki. But no matter how he calculated it, it was too late to come back to hold the celebration. Oda Nobu
If he couldn't come back, Yu Qiuping couldn't apply to him to visit Lin Xiuzhen, and he didn't dare to meet in private, otherwise the suspicion would be too high.
In the early morning of January 2, the tenth year of Tianzheng (1582), Yu Qiuping did not sleep well - he stayed up late last night to deal with a lot of New Year's affairs, and his mind is still groggy, but he still decided to get up.
Imagawa Kaede was still sleeping sweetly, and seemed to be resisting Yu Qiuping's movements instinctively. She turned over and rolled up the quilt. Yu Qiuping looked at her face and smiled softly. In the blink of an eye, Imagawa Kaede was already fast.
I am 38, and I will be 40 this year after my birthday. Time flies so fast - the scene when I met Kaede Imagawa when I was 16 can still clearly appear in front of my eyes.
"It's like sleeping in..." Yu Qiuping put on his clothes and washed briefly. The cold wind outside made him shiver, and he missed the warm bed with a beautiful woman in his arms.
"But I was busy with work and didn't go there for a while, so I'm going to have a look today anyway." Yu Qiuping muttered, and stopped Ye Gu Suizi, who was about to go to the cafeteria to help Yu Qiuping prepare breakfast, so that she didn't have to worry.
"Your Highness, why don't you go out to do errands without having something to eat? It's very cold, and you'll get sick, and then Madam will complain again." Yegu Suizi glanced at Yu Qiuping, who was about to go out in a cloak, and whispered uneasily.
reminded.
"I'm not going to do anything, I'm just going to Dongshan for a walk." Yu Qiuping pointed to the east with his thumb.
"Want to see His Highness Asai?" Yegu Suiko reacted immediately.
"Yeah." Yu Qiuping nodded and walked down the stairs, "I haven't told him the good news about peace in the world yet."
·
When Yu Qiuping walked to Asai Nagamasa's grave in the wind and snow, he realized that he was wrong - the woman who was sweeping the snow seriously in front of the tomb should have told him in the underground scene a long time ago.
"Ashi." Yu Qiuping called softly, and Ashi seemed to have heard the sound of Yu Qiuping's boots hitting the snow a long time ago. He was not surprised, but swept away the snow before turning around and saluting Yu Qiuping.
Said, "Brother Hongye."
"I haven't been here for a long time. I'm really sorry." Yu Qiuping said as he knelt down to salute the tombstone. Seeing this, Ah Shi hurriedly took out a small blanket from the basket and put it under Yu Qiuping's knees.
"Be careful of catching cold." Ah Shi warned softly, while Yu Qiuping smiled at her and said, "Have you told Chang Zheng? The world has been peaceful.
thing?"
"As I said, I came here to tell him when the news came back from Odawara Castle just now. But I think he still hopes that you will tell him in person, brother." Ashi also knelt down beside Yu Qiuping,
He put his hands together and saluted the tombstone, "Tell him that his dream has finally come true; tell him that his sacrifice was not in vain."
"It would be great if he could see it with his own eyes." When Ah Shi said this, his eyes turned slightly red and he whispered softly.
"He's watching." Yu Qiuping raised his head and looked at the cloudy sky where snow was still falling slowly, but behind the snow clouds in the east, he could faintly feel the light of the sun.
The two of them were silent for a long time, both staring blankly at the eastern sky. Unknowingly, the snow stopped, the sun came out, and the warm sunshine shone on the body. The coldness and fatigue before seemed to be like the broken snow on the shoulders.
Be melted.
"The world is at peace, what are your plans in the future?" Yu Qiuping stretched and asked casually.
"Planning..." Ah Shi responded casually with some confusion, "I don't have any plans. It's good to be like this now. I can come to see His Highness Nagamasa every day, and I can also accompany Chacha and the others. How nice.
"
"Do you have any thoughts in that regard?" Yu Qiuping turned his head and looked at Ah Shi's face. Ah Shi also looked at Yu Qiuping in confusion. But she quickly understood the meaning of Yu Qiuping's words.
Shengxue's cheeks quickly turned red, and she lowered her head shyly.
"That kind of thing...how could it happen...it didn't happen..." Ah Shi was surprised and incoherent, hesitating and hesitating.
"You are only 34 years old, and you still have a long life. It will be very difficult to be alone all the time." Yu Qiuping obviously did not see Ashi's thoughts, but persuaded Ashi sincerely, "If you don't object, I will
Can I help you keep an eye on the candidates? If there is someone suitable, can you tell me about it?"
"Eh..." Ah Shi gradually understood what Yu Qiuping really meant, and the brilliance that was still shining in her eyes dimmed instantly. She couldn't help but feel ashamed of her own whims just now, she pressed her lips tightly, and said aggrievedly
There seemed to be tears in his eyes.
"Of course I won't force you if you don't want to!" Yu Qiuping thought that Ah Shi was so lonely because he resisted remarrying, so he hurriedly tried to explain, "Don't be angry!"
"No...Brother Hongye..." Seeing Yu Qiuping's panic, Ah Shi broke down in tears and laughed. Then he suppressed his inner feelings and pretended to be calm and bowed to Yu Qiuping, "I know, I
You will also pay attention to it."
"But let's make it clear in advance, no matter who you fall in love with, I will support you, but I will never support Tokichiro." Yu Qiuping suddenly remembered something, and raised a finger to Ashi to emphasize in a very serious manner.
"Eh?" Ah Shi didn't know why Yu Qiuping mentioned Hideyoshi Yushiba so suddenly, so he asked in confusion, "Why His Highness Yushiba?"
"It just can't be done anyway, that guy..." Yu Qiuping thought of Hashiba Hideyoshi's deep-seated greed and desire for Ashi's body in his words at that time, and felt waves of nausea and fear, and frowned involuntarily.
"I know, I listen to Brother Hongye." For some reason, Ah Shi looked at Yu Qiuping's expression, but suddenly felt warm and dark in his heart.
Jumping with joy, she smiled again and nodded in agreement.
"That's right." As soon as Ah Shi finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He leaned into Yu Qiuping's ear and whispered like a child: "Chacha seems to be...pregnant."
"Ah, that's it..." Yu Qiuping agreed while thinking about other things. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly realized what Ah Shi was talking about, and he jumped up from the blanket in fright, his eyes widening.
Xiang Ashi confirmed: "Chacha is pregnant?"
"Brother Hongye, why are you like this..." Ah Shi was startled by Yu Qiuping's fuss, and explained in a dumbfounded way, "I'm not sure yet...it's just that the menstrual period has not come. That child is thin-skinned, and he is too embarrassed to ask the doctor to see him.
, just told me quietly."
"Oh my god, no way..." Yu Qiuping held his head in his hands in confusion, spinning around on the snow while constantly mumbling, "Shang'er is only 21, Chacha is only 17... They want
Have a baby?"
"Isn't this normal?" Ah Shi was amused by Yu Qiuping's appearance, and slowly stood up and said, "What's wrong?"
"But I'm only 40... I'm going to be a grandpa?" Yu Qiuping said in disbelief that he would not be able to accept the fact for a while, and then he realized from this sentence - you can get it by doing some subtraction,
He became a father earlier than Yu Qiu Shang, so is it any wonder that he wants to be a grandfather now? Ah Shi became a grandmother at the age of 34 and didn’t make a fuss about it. Wouldn’t it look too shameful for him to do this?
Maybe he will become a great-grandfather when he is 60 years old. If he can live to be 100 years old, six generations will live under the same roof.
"Brother Hongye, don't go looking for the doctor now." Seeing Yu Qiuping's mental instability, Ah Shi reminded him with some worry, "Chacha, that kid is still embarrassed."
"How can that be done? It's still winter now. If you really get pregnant, you have to take good care of the baby." Although he was still a little unfamiliar with the concept of "grandson", Yu Qiuping still became nervous instinctively and kept talking to himself.
He said, "You can't catch a cold. It's so cold in the middle of winter. You can't let Chacha go out casually! Oh, by the way, you also need to eat some nourishing food! There are not many supplements in this era. Shouldn't we go to the Nanman merchants to buy some?"
Is this enough? When Feng'er gave birth to Shang'er and You'er, she blamed me for not raising the fetus properly... Feng'er felt so uncomfortable too, but she must not do it again this time...
You must not get hurt when you fall, and you must arrange for a maid to follow you at any time... Shang'er is also a careless boy. His wife is pregnant and he doesn't know anything! Really! I don't want to reprimand him in the future, if something goes wrong.
What should we do?”
"Okay, I will pay attention. During this time, I have personally taken care of Chacha. Brother Hongye and the eldest son don't have to worry about this." Seeing Yu Qiuping's anxious look, Ah Shi couldn't help but laugh again.
Get up and say, "After the world is peaceful, there are still many things that you need to do. Just leave these trivial matters around the bed to us women."
"Well... I'll have to take care of you a lot at home." Yu Qiuping nodded to Ah Shi gratefully, and then seemed to be worried about himself again. Ah Shi smiled and looked at Yu Qiuping's face, recalling the two moments just now.
Those conversations between people——
Even if it's impossible to be married in name only, are we still like family?
