At noon on February 15, the tenth year of Tianzheng (1582), Yu Qiuping had just returned from inspecting the area when he was directly blocked by Imagawa Kaede in the bedroom. Imagawa Kaede called all the surrounding guards to the next floor, and then carefully closed the door.
Check the doors and windows repeatedly to see if anyone is eavesdropping.
"What are you doing, so mysterious?" Yu Qiuping was confused by Imagawa Kaede's actions, but Imagawa Kaede still had a "you don't understand" expression on his face.
"Did you know?" After Imagawa Feng finished everything, she leaned into Yu Qiuping's ear and whispered, "Chacha is happy!"
After saying that, she pushed back two steps and looked at Yu Qiuping with a smile, waiting to appreciate the wonderful changes in expression on his face - but found nothing. Yu Qiuping just nodded and answered very calmly.
He said, "Yes, you know it too?"
"You already knew this?" Imagawa Kaede pouted in dissatisfaction for a moment, recalling how embarrassing it was for her to be so mysterious just now, "Then why didn't you tell me!"
"Ah, Ah Shi told me before. She said that Chacha was too thin-skinned to tell others, so she told me not to talk nonsense." Yu Qiuping explained to Imagawa Feng with a smile, but the latter obviously didn't buy it and got angry.
He asked, "If Chacha is so thin-skinned, why did she tell you? Huh?"
"Well..." Yu Qiuping laughed when he heard this, then stepped back and waved his hands repeatedly, "Then you have to ask Ah Shi, don't ask me. Speaking of which, how did you know?"
"Shang'er told me that his wooden fish head finally came to his senses. It took him so long to realize that Chacha was pregnant." Imagawa Feng's temper came and went quickly. As he spoke, he shifted his focus to other places.
Things went up, "Oh my God... I'm going to be a grandma soon. Time flies by so fast."
"Let's go see the young couple and give them some advice." Yu Qiuping smiled, stretched, and pulled Imagawa Feng toward the door, "The barracks is on vacation today, and Shang'er should be in the castle now.
Bar."
Unlike other daimyo families where the young master and the head of the family live in two separate castles, Yu Qiu Shang and Cha Cha have always lived in the main castle of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle - of course, it may also be because the castle tower of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle is relatively large. Yu Qiupei and Imagawa
Feng went down two floors, bypassed the corridor on the west side, and came outside the house where Yu Qiu Shang and Cha Cha lived. Yu Qiu Shang's guard captain Morita Yoshio was leaning on the pillar at the door on duty when he saw Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede.
When he arrived, he hurriedly saluted, then turned around and went to report indoors.
"Isn't it inconvenient?" Yu Qiuping couldn't help but worry in a low voice when he saw Morita Yaxiang knocking on the door.
"It's broad daylight now! Do you think Shang'er will be like you!" Imagawa Feng frowned and pinched Yu Qiuping's waist hard, while complaining softly with dissatisfaction.
After entering the house, Yu Qiu Shang and Cha Cha packed up and bowed to say hello to Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Feng very respectfully.
"You don't have to be so formal." Yu Qiuping smiled and sat down across from Yu Qiu Shang and Cha Cha, and at the same time motioned for them to get up, "It's like filming a Dahe drama. It's so awkward."
"What weird words are you talking about again?" Imagawa Kaede rolled her eyes at Yu Qiuping, then sat down next to Yu Qiuping and looked towards him with a smile.
Asked Chacha, "Chacha, how are you lately?"
As soon as Imagawa Feng's words came out, two blushes instantly appeared on Chacha's fair cheeks, and he subconsciously looked at his belly. Yu Qiu Shang also lowered his head in embarrassment after hearing the words.
"Everything is fine. Thanks to my mother for thinking about me..." Chacha hesitated and uttered a sentence. She reached out to look for Yu Qiu Shang uneasily, and slipped her little hand into his hand very habitually. Then she realized that Yu Qiu Shang
Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede sat across from each other and hurriedly pulled their little hands back. Yu Qiu Shang also quickly put his hands on his knees in front of him.
Seeing the shy and dull expressions of Yu Qiu Shang and Cha Cha, both Yu Qiu Ping and Imagawa Feng smiled.
"Chacha needs to take good care of her baby. Your health is the most important thing. So do you, Shang'er. Don't work overtime these days. You can put your military affairs aside for a while and go home to spend more time with Chacha." Yu Qiuping looked at Yu Qiu Shang,
Looking at the young man who looked very similar to himself when he was young, he taught with some emotion.
"Father, how can a child abandon his private life for the sake of public service..." Yu Qiu Shang resisted slightly when he heard this, and explained in a low voice. However, Yu Qiuping shook his head and said without doubt, "You, you, don't be so inflexible.
Well, then, as the governor of the Yuqiu family, I will give orders to Nirvana Preparation Captain Yu Qiu Shang and let him spend more time taking care of his wife, that’s all."

After coming out of Yu Qiu Shang and Cha Cha's room, Imagawa Feng mentioned another matter to Yu Qiu Ping.
"By the way, the wedding date of Cen'er and Cheng Yuanwan has been set, it will be March 15th. If you want to arrange invitations or something, you can go and invite your highnesses first. After all, they are also very busy, so it is better to inform them earlier.
Better." Kaede Imagawa was talking about the marriage between Yu Qiucen and Naoe Nobuei - in fact, judging from Yu Qiucen's age, this marriage was relatively late. But because Yu Qiuping's own concept of marriage has come
Twenty years have passed since the Middle Ages, so there is no rush to arrange a marriage for my daughter, so I have postponed it until now.
"That's my daughter getting married, how dare they not give me face?" Yu Qiuping thought of his good brothers and couldn't help but laugh a few times, "Besides, they are eager to come to my place to have a meal.
Woolen cloth."
As expected by Yu Qiupei, on the day of the wedding, brothers Ikeda Tsuneaki, Sawaki Yoshiyuki, Hashiba Hideyoshi, and Maeda Toshiie were all present. Mori Kotaka and Akechi Mitsuhide arrived a few days in advance to help Yu Qiupei make some preparations.
and ceremonial matters. The Chosogabe family and Miyoshi family from Kyushu and Shikoku also sent Xiangsonggabu family and Miyoshi Choji as envoys to attend the meeting. Half of the daimyo from the Western Kingdom sent people to attend. It is a pity that
Tokugawa Ieyasu failed to come - because Oda Nobunaga invited him to visit Azuchi Castle and Kyoto in April. It would be embarrassing if Tokugawa Ieyasu came to Amaki's house now, so he
Sakai Tadashi was sent with congratulatory gifts. Naturally, Oda Nobunaga himself would not come. As a household governor, attending the wedding of a retainer's daughter would be too cheap, but it is said that he would also send an envoy to attend - but the envoy never arrived.
That’s it.
At this moment, in the backstage of the shrine, Naoe Nobuei and Yu Qiucen are sitting and making final preparations. Yu Qiucen has inherited the outstanding looks of Yu Qiupei and Imagawa Kaede. Even if she has never liked to dress up carefully in the past, her beauty can still seduce them.
people's hearts
Po. But today, she was wearing a Kyushu uniform and light makeup. Her stunning appearance stunned the people backstage. Even though they knew it was rude, they couldn't help but look at Yu Qiucen. Naoe Touhei
He was not willing to take his eyes away from his newlywed wife's cheeks for a moment, which made Yu Qiucen, who had always been cheerful and generous, a little shy. The blush under her makeup added to her beauty.
Seeing the daughter he had raised for more than ten years dressed up as a bride, Yu Qiuping felt relieved and happy but also a little sad. The experience was simply difficult to describe in words. Only those who have experienced it personally can empathize with it - back then
Imagawa Yoshimoto must have been in the same pain when sending Imagawa Kaede to get married. Imagawa Kaede was obviously more excited than Yu Qiuping. She always showed her strength and was currently tidying up her daughter's hair and clothes with tears in her eyes.
Talking about trivial matters, he pulled his daughter and kept talking to her, which made Yu Qiucen's eyes blurry with tears.
"Hey, Seigenmaru." Yu Qiuping waved his hand to Naoe Denpei, which startled Naoe Denpei, who was staring at Yu Qiucen in a daze, and hurriedly came to Yu Qiuping.
"I heard that there is a custom in Guandong that before the daughter gets married, the father-in-law can beat his son-in-law, right?" Yu Qiuping stood up, walked up to the boy who was taking advantage of him, and asked in a low voice with a black line on his face.
"Please have mercy, Your Highness." Sure enough, love can make people go to their heads. Naoe Nobuhira, who had always been eloquent in the past, actually gave up on begging for explanations for himself at this moment. He bowed to Yu Qiupei very readily and lowered his head, preparing to be beaten.
.Yu Qiuping looked at the young man in front of him. Although he was outstanding in the next generation, when he thought that his such a good daughter would marry this boy in vain, he immediately couldn't help himself.
He punched him on the arm - Yu Qiuping would have wanted him to slap him in the face if he hadn't been attending the wedding later.
"You must treat Cen'er well in the future. If he is wronged in any way, please wait for me." Yu Qiuping patted Naoe Denping on the shoulder and threatened viciously, "I will kill you."
Stuff it into the muzzle of a twelve-pounder and shoot you to the moon."
"Yes! Your Highness! I swear to you that I will never let the young lady suffer the slightest grievance in the future!" Naoe Nobuhei stood up straight, bowed deeply to Yu Qiuping again, and said in a deep voice that in the past, he would definitely feel
The shameful second line: "I will protect the young lady! Please leave it to me!"
"Your Highness." At this time, Naoe Tadayei, who had just finished arranging the preparations, also walked to Yu Qiuping, and bowed deeply to Yu Qiuping like his son, "It is really a great honor for the Naoe family that Inuko can marry the young lady. The Naoe family will surely
From generation to generation, I have dedicated my life to the Yuqiu family to repay His Highness the kindness of this day."
"Two children who have lovers will eventually get married, what kind of kindness is that?" Yu Qiuping shook his head, turned around and patted Naoe Zhongping on the shoulder, adjusted the position of his eye patch, and bowed slightly to him.
Yili said, "Thank you for your loyalty to the Yuqiu family for more than twenty years. The Yuqiu family will never let you down."
"From that day on, I have been destined to devote my life to His Highness." Naoe Nobuira's remaining eye slowly filled with tears, and he whispered in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
