On April 28th, at the Furukawa Imperial Palace in the Kingdom of Assassin, Ashikaga Fujimasa was asking about good and bad luck in the imperial palace. Recently, he was addicted to fortune telling, almost to the point of being hopeless. Things at home were closely supervised by his uncle, Harusuke Nada.
If he didn't get started, he had an quarrel with the Hojo clan and left his wife, Katsurahime Hojo, in the cold and didn't bother to take care of her.
No one cares about him and no one cares about his opinions. Ashikaga Fujimasa, who has not received orthodox samurai education, is like a puppet. He can only sit quietly in the Furukawa Imperial Palace in a daze. Since he was left out by the Hojo Ujimasa, his life has become more and more sad.
, it seems that the attitude of the retainers towards him has also changed subtly, and now it is often the case that no one comes to say hello for a whole day.
Ashikaga Fujimasa was also used to this kind of indifferent attitude, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Anyway, he only needed to sit in the position of house governor and no one would care about him, so he exposed himself to self-abasement and studied the common way with a group of friends, being gentle and considerate.
His nickname is much prettier than his wife who treats him coldly all day long.
Every time he went to see Katsura Hime, it was like entering a big ice cellar. The couple barely had sex once on their wedding night without touching her body. He felt that this woman looked down on him for being ignorant and unskilled, and he hated Hojo Katsura Hime from the bottom of his heart.
Disgusted, he moved back to his room to live with Xiao Xing from then on.
On this day, he had another round of physical communication with his friends in the secret room, and then studied the latest divination technique, and asked about the good and bad fortune of Furukawa's family. After several divination times in a row, all the results were bad, and he was so angry that he fell down.
He broke several vases and cursed loudly: "You despise me and hate me, you even despise me for this fortune teller!"
Just because I don't understand Kyoto culture, I can't do waka and I don't like tea ceremony. But it's not my fault. My uncle exempted me from these studies on the grounds of financial difficulties. He also advised me to be frugal and diligent and not to enjoy myself. But my uncle, he
But he spends his days living and drinking, and recently married a concubine. The family is even richer than Yu! Where did his money come from? Didn’t he take away the wealth that Yu should have had! Humph! "
Ashikaga Fujimasa had no money, no soldiers, and no food. All the major affairs of the family were in the hands of Harusuke Kada and the Ichigan Gashiro retainers. They bullied Ashikaga Fujimasa because he was unable to control the household affairs, so they took the opportunity to install their cronies to monopolize all the profits of the Furukawa Imperial Palace.
Making up false claims of using natural disasters as an excuse to withhold money and food.
Originally, Furukawa Imperial Palace's pretty good money and food income only reached him 23/10, and he only had a meager one thousand gan Yongle money every year. However, Ashikaga Fujimasa was left to support a group of maids with minor surnames at Furukawa Imperial Palace. Due to financial difficulties, even
The pomp and circumstance of being a Kanto official was forced to be cancelled, the oxen in the bullock carts were sold for money, most of the surnames were dismissed, leaving only a few confidants, the maids selected good-looking ones as side wives, and some of the maids were dismissed before they could barely keep it.
The branch balance is maintained.
The price of finally balancing the books was that the living conditions of Furukawa Imperial Palace Ashikaga Fujimasa and Katsura Odai continued to decline. From having river seafood every day to eating river seafood once every three days, seasonal vegetables were also pickled by Furukawa Imperial Palace.
Pickled radish, even the cold-faced beauty Gui Yutai spoke less and less to him, to the point where the couple didn't feel any pressure even if they didn't see each other for several days.
In fact, Hojo Keihime is not a snobbery, but she is born with a quiet temperament and does not like to talk. She was originally planned to marry a member of the Hojo family's lineage. When the choice was about to be decided, she was forced to marry him because of her marriage to Lord Furukawa.
She was sent to Furukawa Imperial Palace to get married. Katsurahime, who was accustomed to the scenery of Odawara, lived a life of poverty and frugality as soon as she arrived at Furukawa Imperial Palace.
Her husband, Ashikaga Fujimasa, was short, skinny, had a sly eyebrow, and was not a good person. He seemed to have a great prejudice against her. He had sex once in a hurry on their wedding night and did not even touch her body. Instead, he asked his maid Achun to have sex with her the next day.
Being a concubine in the past was a huge insult to Hojo Katsura. Her maid was just an ordinary concubine of the samurai family. His father was worried that the maid would compete with her, so he deliberately chose an ugly maid to marry her.
As a result, Ashikaga Fujimasa, the governor of the house, abandoned the beautiful Katsura Hime and chose a mediocre-looking maid as a concubine. From then on, Katsuragi had a fundamental distrust of Ashikaga Fujimasa, the husband, and Ashikaga Fujimasa lived up to expectations.
She got together with friends of her surname Xiao, and in the past few years, none of the six concubines showed signs of pregnancy, which made Gui Ji feel more and more that she had married the wrong person.
The superintendent had no intention of resisting the power of the house. The monthly evaluations were carried out in a fuzzy state. It was only when she, the wife, hid in the darkroom behind the evaluation room to listen to the meeting contents that the group of proxies were discovered.
They teamed up to deceive their husbands, telling him trivial things from beginning to end, or misleading him with a bunch of incorrect data. Ashikaga Fujimasa never questioned it from beginning to end, he just kept nodding.
Hating that iron cannot be made into steel is probably how Hojo Katsura is feeling at the moment. Her husband is useless and only the wife can intervene. She just snatches a share of 200 kilo of cosmetics per year from Haru Kada's assistant. At least it can subsidize the family's income and not let her, the queen, down.
Taiwanese people can't even afford to buy new clothes all year round, so they can't afford to go to temples to pay homage to Buddha and even have money for fragrant oil.
Katsurahime is also very able to endure such a painful life. She never mentions her miserable life in the letters she sends to Odawara every few months. However, Ashikaga Fujimasa is still ignorant and does not care about it. Recently, his spending has become more and more lavish, and he is about to
The cosmetics she had worked so hard to obtain were all spent, which made Gui Ji even more angry and had a bad look on him.
Ashikaga Fujimasa knew nothing about this. He was currently distressed by the fact that he was not satisfied with the continuous fortune-telling. Several of his friends whispered to each other and said cautiously: "Your Highness, you don't know. In fact, we still have something to say."
Another place to get money, and the money comes quickly and steadily without risk, and the money collected is very large!"
"Tell me, what are the ways to make money?" Ashikaga Fujimasa suddenly became excited: "How much money can I get?"
When several friends saw that there was a way, they hurriedly said: "Actually, if you ask His Highness to stand up and initiate the rebellion against the Kira family, you can get a gift of three thousand kan Yongle money from Dr. Miyoshi."
"Wait a minute!" Ashikaga Fujimasa's expression changed: "What do you mean by advocating against Kira? What's going on?"
"Uh..." His companions did not notice that his eyes changed, and he hesitated for a moment and said: "This is what the envoy of the Miyoshi Repair Hall mentioned a few months ago! As long as His Highness Kōkata is the first to initiate it, the samurai family of Dewa Mutsu Kanto Koshinobu
All the daimyo would follow suit and join in the crusade against the Echigo Kira family. It was only put on hold because the Kada-den felt it was too dangerous."
"A few months ago! I was deceived for a whole few months. What a good uncle for me!" Ashikaga Fujimasa was so angry that he could no longer bear the manipulation of power by his retainers, so he yelled: "My Lord Furukawa
There is a group of thieves in the Fang family! Harusuke Kada is the leader of the thieves! I will kill him sooner or later to vent my hatred!"
His colleagues were so frightened that they couldn't even speak. They didn't expect that such a well-known news could deceive the governor for several months. They also remembered that Harusuke Kada had warned them several times to be careful in their words and deeds and not to expose them to anything.
Say what you shouldn't say, let alone do what you shouldn't do. If there is any situation, there will be a heavy reward if you report it promptly. Several colleagues secretly looked at each other and seemed to be calculating the price of what they just said.
Ashikaga Fujimasa roared like crazy for a long time, circling the room dozens of times, until he couldn't move anymore, he lay on the tatami like a dead dog in a daze, and after a while he said: "Those three thousand Kan Yongle
We must get the money! The anti-Kirara family can also avenge the humiliation I suffered back then! I must take action immediately and never let Harusuke Kadata react! Yes! That’s how it’s done!”
…
In early June of the third year of Eiroku, Echigo did not feel particularly hot as summer had just begun. Unlike the dry and sultry days of April and May, when the sea breeze full of moisture since the beginning of summer blew into Hokurikudo to cool down the blazing sunshine,
Starting from June, Echigo gradually enters the rainy season.
A grand wedding was held in Kasugayama Castle. Two women wearing white wedding clothes walked into the marriage hall amidst the blessings of many women. The so-called white wedding clothes means white wedding clothes. White is in Japanese culture.
It means pure white. Just like the symbol of the white flag, such as the white lotus, symbolizes the firm and persistent faith of the samurai, so the custom of the bride wearing white gradually appeared in weddings in the Muromachi period. It is said that it means not to go out and return.
The meaning of prayer.
The ladies of the Kira family did not directly attend the wedding, but listened to the sound of the wedding in a room in the side hall. Mogami Yoshihime could only pout her lips and watch the two sisters from the Oda family get married first. She complained softly.
: "Obviously Yi Ji came first, why did the wedding have to be put last!"
"Sister Yiji, don't worry. My sister won't run away. Next year, sister Yiji will get married!" Huji sat on the Taishi chair with a big belly at six months of pregnancy. It was very uncomfortable for her to sit on the floor with such a big belly.
It was difficult, so Ji Liangyi specially made several sets of furniture from the Ming Dynasty. The Taishi Chair and the Eight Immortals Table were one of them. At least they could put a cushion on them to make them more comfortable.
"We women all waited for several years before we got married! Your Highness said that getting married early and having children early is bad for your health, and there is a risk that the children will die!" Numata Sandalwood said this and Mogami Yoshihime was stunned.
Too frightened to speak, Ii Naotora pulled the timid Mogami Yoshihime and whispered comfort.
Among these five women, except Mogami Yoshihime, all are pregnant. Nagao Torahime, Ii Naotora, Numata Sandalwood is six months pregnant, and Mochizuki Yoshino is also nearly two months pregnant. No wonder Mogami Yoshihime has been pregnant recently.
She was pouting and looking unhappy. Several good sisters were pregnant, so she was alone.
Mogami Yoshihime is more than one year younger than Oda City. Mogami Yoshimitsu was worried that getting married too early would be detrimental to his sister's future marriage life, so he deliberately asked to get married a few years later. He was worried about what would happen if he got married too early.
If she becomes pregnant again, Mogami Yoshiki's life may be in danger given her tender age.
Yoshitoki Kira happened to have this plan, so he took into account that Yoshimitsu Mogami himself was not yet married, and his wife, Mrs. Osaki, was still in the Osaki family and had not yet married. However, the request of the Oda family was to get married as soon as possible to ensure the stability of the marriage. Nagahide Niwa
Worried about the recurrence of the Kira family, they specifically wrote this clause into the covenant. The Kira family's negotiator felt that this trivial matter was nothing and agreed.
By the time Kiragi found out about this trivial matter, it was already too late, so he simply followed their wishes and married twice to seek good luck. Although in this era there was a custom of marrying off the legitimate daughter at the age of twelve or thirteen, but when Kiragi
It is better to decide not to touch Oda City for the time being and let the loli evolve into a girl before buying it.
Because it was a ceremony held in a side room, the scale of the wedding was not large. It was just a luncheon held in the side hall of Kasugayama to entertain Niwa Nagahide, the envoy of the Oda family. Several important ministers attended the banquet, including Kira.
Yoshitoki spoke highly of Oda Nobunaga's abilities at the banquet and encouraged the Oda family to get out of the confusion of expansion as soon as possible and strive to make greater contributions to the shogunate.
The banquet lasted until the evening. The drunken and well-fed family members went to their own places to enjoy themselves. Kira Yoshitoki slowly walked to the wedding room, where two brides in red gowns were sitting.
Sitting quietly in the wedding room, her beautiful face looked particularly moving under the candlelight, especially because the two girls looked very similar, which made Kira Yoshi feel a little strange.
Kira Yoshichi scolded the maid and closed the door. He came over and took the two sisters' little hands, and said softly: "I have long heard that the women of the Oda family are all beautiful. Today, it turned out that it was not a lie. It is the appearance without makeup that makes it beautiful."
It’s the most beautiful.”
"Your Highness..." Oda Inu was a little at a loss and allowed him to touch his little hand. His heart was like a deer bumping into each other, his dimples were red, and he didn't know how to respond. He was at a loss for a long time before he replied in a panic: "You can't see women without makeup.
Human.”
Kira Yoshishi looked at the very similar facial features of the two sisters, and realized that the Oda Inu's face was rounder and softer. Oda Inu had a slightly heroic spirit, especially the liveliness in her eyes, and she seemed to have a layer of energy lingering around her.
The inexplicable temperament makes it difficult to forget after seeing it.
Wash off the makeup on their faces, revealing their snowy white and tender skin. It is said that the Tsuchida Gozen clan is also rich in beauties. After marrying Oda Nobunaga, all the children born to her are beauties. The mother of Oda City is
Tsuchida Gozen's sister-in-law was also a good-looking beauty. However, she was unlucky and died of puerperal fever not long after giving birth to Oda Ichi.
Kira Yoshitoki secretly thought: "No wonder Aichi would enjoy the treatment of a legitimate daughter as a concubine. Her mother is Tsuchida's sister-in-law, which is only part of it. Her mother's early death is also part of it. The bigger part should be that Aichi was born
Let Reizhi let Tsuchida Gozen give birth to the intention of adoption!"
With this appearance and temperament, I am afraid that when he grows up, he will be more eye-catching than the Oda Inu. It is like two stunning beauties with top-notch looks. But one of them has a more unique temperament and is more eye-catching. Kira Yoshi saw them for the first time.
When they were two sisters, they were also attracted by her unique temperament.
Perhaps because he had been stared at by Kira Yoshi for a long time, two girls gently pulled his sleeves to call him out of his trance. Only then did Kira Yoshi realize that he was in a daze in front of the two beauties, and felt a little embarrassed.
He said: "Hey! I don't think so. A naturally beautiful woman with a bare face is also a top beauty. You two are such top beauties. No matter how beautiful those ordinary women are, they are not as beautiful as you."
"Your Highness is so complimentary. It is a great honor for me to be able to meet Your Highness's eyes with my body like a bulrush." The Oda Inu's voice was very pleasant. It was soft and waxy and made the Owari native dialect particularly beautiful. The words were well-chosen.
It was also so sophisticated that it made him feel bright. He secretly thought that he had made some mistakes by ignoring the cultural attainments of this great beauty, Oda Inu.
Oda Ichi's voice is crisper than her sister Oda Inu's, just like the chirping of the lark in Qingyue. It can be seen that she has an optimistic temperament and can't hold back her words. In just a moment, she talked about everything she saw and heard in Kasugayama Castle recently.
When the two sisters first came to Echigo, it was said that Mochizuki Yoshino had to put in a lot of effort to speak.
Communicate at night.
Kira Yoshitoki liked these two sisters very much, especially Oda City, who had to pay special attention to them. The reputation of the third lady of the Warring States Period was not built on. At any rate, he also knew some of this strange woman's "past", but at the moment Asai Nagamasa
He got his new name in another way and became a disciple of Miyoshi Nagakei. Oda also married into the Kira family and became the concubine's wife.
Kira Yoshi turned to Oda City and said, "Does Oda City still remember the agreement I made?"
"Yes! I remember! Then I will resign now!" Oda Shi blinked, revealing two dimples: "My sister will be taken care of by His Highness! You must be gentler to your sister,
She is the girl with the best temper in our Oda family!"
Kira Yoshishi smiled and said: "I understand, little master, go and have a rest!"
"Why did Your Highness make such a strange agreement? It's really weird that you have to be fifteen to consummate your marriage." Oda Inu said doubtfully: "Some women of Aichi's age have already given birth to children.
Oh! For example, Maeda Mataemon’s wife Osomatsu became a mother at the age of thirteen!”
"You don't understand, it's bad for a woman's health to give birth too early. A-Quan is just the right age, but A-shi is still a little too young. Let her wait two years just to give birth to a child without suffering." Ji Liangyi accepted it naturally.
He held her shoulders, kissed her mouth gently, and easily pried open her teeth to find her lilac uvula.
"Your Highness... don't be like this... ugh!" Oda Inu didn't expect that Kira Yoshi would hold her and kiss her on the lips. She was shy and had a little strange feeling in her heart. Soon she felt a pair of big hands touching her.
Her body, somehow she lost strength as soon as she touched those big hands, and her whole body was limp as if she was drunk. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at Qidian.
