Spring is warm and flowers are blooming in March, and everything is coming back to life. Compared with the humid and cold climate of Hokuriku, which is affected by heavy snowstorms, Owari Province, which is located in Tokaido, is warm and humid. It is a different scene. The heavy snowstorm that affects Kanto is on the verge of Mikawa Bay.
It melts quickly under the warm sea breeze. Early spring and February are already a good time for spring river water to be warm. Compared with the cold climate of the North Sea of Japan, which cannot bring more temperature, Owari Kunshin can be called a good place to spend the winter.
In Qingzhou Castle Honmaru, Oda Nobunaga had a rare leisure time. He was playing in the garden with his three-year-old legitimate son Miracle Maru. Gui Die looked at the father and son playing happily and showed a faint smile. She and Oda Nobunaga have been married for more than ten years.
She did not give birth to a child, and even her legitimate son, Kijomaru, was the child of her concubine Yoshino, but she took her to Qingzhou City and raised her as an adopted son.
As Owari Kingdom's business flourished, Oda Nobunaga, the country's leader, became busier and busier. Guidi often couldn't see her once for several days in a row. She knew that her husband, except for several concubines, was still there.
There were several foreign wives in the city, and she always felt that this was because she could not give birth to children, and she always felt a little guilty towards Oda Nobunaga.
Taking another look at the father and son playing happily, Gui Die couldn't help but sigh: "It would be nice to have more of this scene and last longer!"
Unfortunately, a young man came in a hurry and broke this warm scene: "Please tell me, my lord, that there is an urgent message from Echigo."
Oda Nobunaga suddenly stopped, rubbed Kikimaru's hair and said gently to him: "Go and play with your mother! Father is busy with something."
Qi Qi Wan nodded obediently, ran to the corridor in three steps and nestled in Gui Die's arms. Not forgetting to look back at his father, Gui Die hugged Qi Qi Wan and comforted him softly, telling him that his father was
A great warrior, Kimaru will become a warrior like his father in the future.
"My lord! This is a letter from His Highness Niwa." Xiao Xing respectfully presented the letter with both hands and then slowly stepped back. Oda Nobunaga opened the letter and read it, but after a moment he frowned: "The Lord of the Town wants Ainu."
Marrying together with the Ashi sisters, what is the hidden meaning in this... Come here! Send the order to convene an evaluation meeting immediately!"
Oda Nobunaga turned over and walked quickly towards Ohiroma. When passing by the corridor, those who hesitated stopped and said to the wife of the wife who was sitting quietly with her arms around Qi Maru: "After I put Qi Maru to sleep, Gui Die
Let's call Ah Quan and Ah Shi to the castle tower to talk! I'll have something to say to the sisters later."
"Your Highness, are you going to marry A Inu and A Ichi to Echigo together?" Gui Die asked worriedly: "Why did His Highness the Lord of the Prefecture mention such a strange request?"
Oda Nobunaga frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "I still can't figure out the attitude of the mayor. In short, this is a good thing and there is nothing wrong with it, so I would like to trouble Guidi to have a word with my two sisters.
, I hope they can understand more!"
Guidi said hesitantly: "But hasn't A-Quan been betrothed to the lord of Ono Castle, Saji Nobukata? Saji-den will definitely not be happy about this! A-Quan will be very surprised! He has already prepared a dowry for next year.
She married into the Saji family, and now her husband suddenly changes... It’s really unbelievable, I really don’t know how to persuade you.”
"It's embarrassing for you..." Oda Nobunaga sighed: "But it has to be faced anyway, just like my father has to face the pain of successive failures, Your Highness Saji, I will try our best to compensate!"
Oda Nobunaga left in such a hurry that he held an evaluation meeting without even having time for lunch. Guidi handed over the Miraculous Pill to the wet nurse, and then invited the maid to invite sisters A Inu and A Ichi. But after a while, they saw
Two girls wearing crimson gowns with gold and red birds came slowly. At first glance, the two girls looked like twins. The only difference was that one was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the other was only twelve or thirteen years old.
.
The older girl is slender and tall, with a palm-sized face and a pair of almond-shaped eyes filled with spring water. Her cheeks are dyed with a light blush, and her brows reveal faint traces of the girl's yearning. If an ordinary man sees it, she would probably
God and soul taught her. Gui Die knew in her heart that this girl, who was not yet 28 years old, had probably just secretly seen spring paintings or something like that before revealing such a charming style.
Young girls waiting to be married must be taught by married women to identify some common ways to serve men after marriage. Some bold married women will even take off their clothes and pull the girls waiting to be married to gesture with those men.
Of course, women who are about to get married like Oda Inu have to experience this shameful behavior.
Spring paintings are the most commonly used thing. Almost every samurai family has one or two such paintings in their collection. In this boring era, night represents the flourishing of lust. Even a samurai with high morals will inevitably take out the spring paintings and his wife when they return to Kali.
Play around, Quan Zuo is the condiment for boudoir fun.
The younger woman has not yet grown her hair, and the childish look on the face of the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl has not yet been shed. Her appearance is very similar to that of her elder sister, but her elder sister has a girlish reserve and uniqueness between her eyebrows.
Quiet, but the little girl's face is filled with innocence and carefree happiness.
"Aquan, Ashi has met Sister Guidi!" The two girls bowed politely and affectionately called her sister. This is the unique family tradition and culture of their Oda family. Oda Nobunaga has been an informal person since he was a child.
The samurai Shamat once made many deviant and weird actions, and was once reprimanded by his retainers as Owari's fool.
The women of the Oda family have been nurtured and influenced by this family governor day and night, and they have a somewhat willful temperament. Gui Die is the legitimate daughter of Viper Dosan, which is naturally extraordinary. She has gotten along well with several sisters-in-law in these years.
They are very harmonious and harmonious. This is one of the reasons why her status is still as stable as before even though she failed to give birth to a legitimate son. Of course, the biggest reason is that Oda Nobunaga is very popular. Just look at the name of her eldest son "Kijimaru"
But we know that this person's murderous temperament is probably not that easy to change.
"Ah Quan, Ah Shi, come sit down and let me take a look at you."
The two sisters nodded obediently, walked gently to Gui Die and sat down, curiously looking at Gui Die's strange movements for some reason. Gui Die did not respond to their doubtful eyes, but carefully looked at the two little girls extremely.
They have similar looks. He sighed softly: "When I first got married, A Quan was as tall as Qi Qi Wan. Now A Shi has just turned one year old. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and you two sisters have grown up."
It’s a girl.”
"What's wrong with Sister Gui Die?" Oda Inu was relatively sensitive. He looked at Gui Die's dark and complicated expression with confusion. He always felt that something strange had happened, so he blushed and cautiously asked: "Did it happen?
Something related to A Quan? For example, getting married early..."
Oda City's almond-shaped eyes widened. Her straight nose wrinkled slightly, revealing a little girl's unique charming look. She pouted and said: "Eh? Is my sister getting married now? She's going to marry that Onojo.
Is that a guy? Ichi once secretly watched him once! He is so short and ordinary! He is much taller than my sister, so it is really strange for such an ordinary samurai to be Ichi’s brother-in-law. Ichi has been disappointed by this for a long time!"
"Ah Ichi...how can you say that to His Highness George! That is Ah Quan's husband!" Ah Quan looked at her sister with shame and anger. In fact, she had also secretly glanced at the legitimate son of the George family. It was indeed just A Quan's husband.
She was an ordinary warrior who could not be more ordinary. He was short and thin and seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind. Such a warrior could not stabilize his territory, nor could he establish meritorious deeds. The influence of the husband in her heart was too far away.
"At least he must be a hero like his brother... No! As long as he has half the magnanimity and talent of his brother." For countless days and nights, the Oda Inu silently prayed for the blessings of gods and Buddhas, but the girl did not understand a truth. This
It is still unknown how many people in the world can be as good as his brother.
Guidi could only sigh softly when she saw the two sisters bickering. She knew that there were eleven sisters in Oda Nobunaga's generation, four of whom were married and became wives and mothers. The others were younger or
Those who were born low and were not favored were basically not qualified to appear in Aihonmaru. The reason why these two little sisters could be together was because of Oda Nobuhide's special love during his time.
Oda Inu is the legitimate daughter of Tsuchida Gozen, and Oda Ichi is the daughter of Oda Nobuhide, Tsuchida Gozen’s sister. Perhaps it’s because Ichi looked exactly like Oda Inu when she was a child, or maybe because I share the same gender.
Because of the blood of the Tsuchida family, even though she was not a legitimate daughter, she was raised as a legitimate daughter by the Queen of Tsuchida. Oda Nobunaga also loved these two sisters very much. Almost no one in the Oda family dared to say the origin of Oda City.
It was the happiness that her unfortunate little sisters had never enjoyed.
The two little sisters have grown up together since childhood. The relationship between the sisters is very good. A Quan, the elder sister, also loves her sister very much. She always leaves a share of good things to A Shi, so they quarreled and then broke out again.
They became harmonious, chatting and laughing. Gui Die asked with a faint smile: "Has Ah Shi ever thought about getting married one day?"
Ah Shi's little face turned red with a smile, and he covered his cheeks with his little hands and said shyly: "Eh? How could Sister Gui Die ask Ah Shi this! Ah Shi has never thought about it!"
"So it's about Aichi getting married? Which young samurai from which family is he?" A Quan's heart moved, and then he remembered that he was also the age of Aichi and had made a marriage contract with the legitimate son of the Saji family. It turned out that his sister was no longer known.
She has grown into a big girl without realizing it. According to the rules of this era, Ah Shi, who is one year younger, is fourteen years old, and she, the elder sister, is already sixteen years old during the Chinese New Year.
Gui Die looked at Ah Shi with a smile and said softly: "Then think about it carefully! Because your husband is coming to pick you up soon! And His Highness is a more powerful warrior than your brother! That His Highness
Owning a large territory and countless retainers, His Highness has unimaginable wealth and countless military forces. His Highness is also the imperial palace of the Dongliang family of the Genji family in Kawachi, and his family is much higher than us country samurai!"
Aichi's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Eh? Someone more powerful than my brother? Who is that person? I heard that my brother killed Imagawa Harube, the most powerful man in Tokaido.
Where is the Assistant Palace? Is there anyone in this world who is more powerful than my brother?"
Gui Die nodded happily and said: "Yes! Yes! Your brother was able to defeat the Imagawa family thanks to the help of His Highness! That His Highness is the most powerful martial arts family in the world today, and I have never been in front of you.
You have told lies! So Ah Shi, don’t worry!”
"Ah Shi believes in Sister Gui Die! Ah Shi is just too happy! She has never been so happy!" The little girl's face turned red with excitement. Gui Die teased the innocent little girl with a faint smile, looking at her in disbelief.
He looked so happy that he forgot everything, and then turned around and found that A Quan's expression was very complicated, and his eyes showed strong disappointment and sadness.
Which girl is not pregnant with spring? Ah Shi, who has not yet reached the age of spring, also understands how important a good husband is to her, not to mention the charming A Quan who has just fallen in love. She understands more than Ah Shi how important a lifelong husband is. Whenever
When she heard that the married concubines were leading unhappy lives, her heart was always heavy.
The simple girl knew that she was going to marry a powerful man from the Owari Kingdom as his wife. This was a method used by her brother to win over the people and win their hearts. The fate of a daughter of the samurai family was to marry and strengthen the relationship. This was her destiny.
It couldn't be changed, and she had never thought about or complained about it before.
But as she grew older, she gradually understood a lot. When her brother became more and more powerful, it became a different scene. Her marriage contract was made in the spring before the Battle of Okehazama two years ago, especially
It was at the end of the past two years that things changed at Hari Junior High School. Oda Nobukiyo of Inuyama Castle raised a rebellion and was ruthlessly suppressed. Oda Nobukiyo himself fled to Shinano and changed his name to Inuyama Tessai to avoid disaster.
Oda Nobukiyo's wife, Inuyama Temple, was also the eldest concubine of Oda Nobunaga. Not long after the war ended, she voluntarily divorced Oda Nobukiyo and was forced to return to her natal city of Seiju with her newborn daughter.
After being widowed for nearly a year, A Quan visited her sister who was more than ten years older than her many times. He was very sad to see her poor and poor life.
Because Oda Nobukiyo's betrayal angered his brother, the situation of Inuyama Temple also became not so good. Although he lived in Himinomaru in Qingzhou Castle and enjoyed a special treatment, he could only receive ten servings from Oda Nobunaga.
Supporting rice and some copper coins to make a living, compared to these unmarried little princesses, it is really a world of difference.
I heard that Ko will be betrothed to a retainer by her brother as his stepmother soon. She really can't imagine that such a miserable life will fall on her. Maybe Oda Nobunaga won't be so harsh on her, but if she has a good husband
It's completely different. She can rely on her husband to live a happy life without worrying about the danger of being defeated and exterminated.
Seeing that Ah Shi, who is two years younger than herself, is suddenly getting married, and to the most powerful martial artist in the world, how can she not make her sister feel sad and disappointed, and then recall that her husband is just a precarious man?
The national lord might die on the battlefield or die of illness in bed, or like Oda Nobukiyo, who failed in his rebellion and abandoned his wife and daughter, leaving his homeland and living a life of poverty and misery.
Sometimes, the more you think about it, the more you feel aggrieved. The smooth and rosy little face suddenly loses its color, and the paper-pale face hangs its head in despair. The small green hands are tightly wrapped around the sleeves of the coat, and the eye circles are red.
During my sleep, big teardrops couldn’t stop falling down. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
