Hojo Ushimasa lowered his head and huddled in the pool without speaking. Yoshigan looked at half of her swan-like elegant long neck exposed on the water, and felt angry in his heart.
He pointed to the utensils on the table by the pool and said.
"I'm really confused by you. Go and get me a glass of water."
Hojo Umasa stuck his mouth out from the water and explained.
"Sage, that's not water. It's fruit wine for drinking in the soup. Fresh fruits for brewing are picked from the surrounding mountains."
Yoshigan glanced at Hojo Ushimasa and sneered.
"How long has it been, and you still have the time to worry about these minutiae? I asked you to get it, so you go!"
"Hi."
Hojo Umasa obediently moved to the edge of the pool, and then jumped up like a hibiscus. At that moment, the waterfall fell. The charming figure made Yoshigage's eyes widen, and he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Yiyin couldn't help but secretly complained that he looked good and had a good figure, but there was something wrong with his brain, which gave him a headache and he didn't know how to end it.
Hojo Umasa didn't know that Yoshigin was peeking at her from behind, and the two were honest with each other. On the contrary, she didn't know where to put her eyes, and she didn't dare to look at Yoshigan's body anyway.
When she turned around with the utensil in hand, half-crouched in front of Yiyin, and put the plate on the edge of the pool, Yiyin's eyes turned green.
Yoshigan took a deep breath, unable to suppress the heat in his heart any longer, and pulled Hojo Umasa into the pool.
Hojo Umasa was so frightened that he turned around and did not dare to speak behind Yoshigan's back. When Yoshigan saw her reaction, he couldn't help but laugh.
If this was Takeda Shingen, he would definitely follow the trend and be more proactive than Yoshigan. In the final analysis, the Hojo clan is still a little too pure, and her appearance makes Yoshigan feel more fresh.
Yoshigan shook the wine vessel, poured two glasses of water and wine, picked up one and brought it to Hojo Umasa, who had his back turned to him.
"Give."
"Thank you...thank you saint."
Hojo Umasa took the water and wine and wondered whether she should drink it. Then, she felt something sticking to her skin behind her and her heart trembled.
It turned out that Yiyin was carrying her on his back and sitting behind her, with a man and a woman leaning against each other, each holding a glass of water and wine in their hands.
Yiyin took a sip of water and sighed.
"What do you want me to do?"
Hojo Ushimasa lowered his head and took a sip and said.
"I don't know either. I just know that if I don't say it today, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it again in my life."
Yiyin took out a breath and took another sip.
"Is this your own idea, or is someone guiding you behind your back?"
Hojo Ushimasa hesitated, drank the water and wine in the glass, and gritted his teeth.
"I came here myself, but... But Higashi Musashi's gift is indeed the sincerity of the retainers."
Yiyin smiled helplessly.
He knew that this matter was not simple. Even if Hojo Ushimasa was impulsive and without the support of the Hojo retainers, she would not dare to act like this.
The samurai family values ​​family property most, and the fourth generation samurai like Hojo Ushimasa were taught a strong education since childhood. Even if the girl is stubborn, she does not dare to go against the tradition.
Of course, Oda Nobunaga's kind of pervert is not included in this list, she is really... that kind of super brave.
Yiyin's heart was in confusion, he sighed and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Hojo Umasa plucked up the courage, turned around and filled up his own wine glass, and then filled another glass for Yoshigan. He was so impulsive that he hugged him from behind and murmured in his ear.
"Saint, please don't worry, I will accept the punishment. No matter how you deal with it, the Hojo family is willing to do it.
It’s just that today I can express what I have been hiding for many years, and I feel very happy.”
Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head, silently feeling the softness behind his back.
You are happy, but I am miserable. If the Hojo family's arrogance and rudeness are severely punished, the entire Kanto political situation will be shaken again.
But after being forced by the Hojo family, he acquiesced to Hojo Ushimasa's confession and let her sleep on the bed. This also set a bad example for other samurai families.
If others are jealous and try to imitate Yiyin, how can Yiyin survive in the future? Everywhere he goes, there are warriors offering land to ask for grass, making Yiyin seem to be out for sale, how ugly it is!
Yiyin complained.
"Accept the fight and accept the punishment? What you said is simple. If the superior can do whatever he wants, why should I be in such a difficult situation?"
Hojo Ushimasa chuckled.
"Yes, when my mother was still alive, she often scolded me. She even scolded me for being careless while eating tea and rice. The Hojo family would definitely be destroyed by my hands."
Yiyin was silent for a while and sighed.
"The tutoring is very strict."
Hojo Ushimasa swallowed another gulp of water and wine, and threw the cup into the distance, causing a splash of water.
"No matter what I do, my mother is not satisfied, and the retainers have no confidence in me, so I am eager to prove myself and lead Sano...
From then on, I knew that I was completely finished. Even if I could inherit the Hojo family business, I would just be a puppet who listens to the words of the retainers.
I used to hate you very much. It was you who ruined my efforts and made me become as miserable as I am now.
In those years, I have been collecting information about you, trying my best to know myself and my enemy, hoping that one day I can take revenge on you and get back everything I lost.
But the more I see you, the more I admire you.
The Owari Shiba clan was wiped out. As a man, you went through a lot of hardships and finally restored the family business, no, you brought it to a higher level.
Compared with your experience, my starting point was so superior, but I ended up like this.
I am far inferior to you.
I am obsessed with your bravery, wisdom, and appearance, and I dream of becoming an outstanding military leader like you. I... really admire you, and I love you."
Yoshigan listened to Hojo Ushimasa's sincere feelings behind him, and looked at the ripples in the water glass in front of him, which seemed to be a reflection of his own mood swings.
Women in a male-dominated world are always asking, what kind of woman do men like the most?
In fact, the answer is very simple. The woman that a man likes most must be beautiful enough and worship him wholeheartedly.
Those who are beautiful enough on the outside to satisfy men's physical needs and worshipful enough on the inside to satisfy men's psychological needs are what men love most.
But this demand cannot be met by Yiyin in the female world.
The female warriors around Yoshigami can be said to be fat and thin, and there are endless beauties of all kinds, especially Yukimori Yamanaka and Masanobu Takasaka, who are the two most beautiful female warriors of the new and mature generations.
But all the Hime Warriors have a problem. Their admiration for Yoshiun comes from a world dominated by women, which cannot satisfy Yoshiun's spiritual needs of male chauvinism, coming from a world dominated by men.
The Takada sisters, Maeda aunt and nephew, they hated themselves for being incompetent and failing to protect Yoshigami, allowing him to be ruined by Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga and Uesugi Kenshin, how much they want to conquer Yoshigan and make him the little man behind them.
Even Takeda Shingen and Hosokawa Fujitaka, who were impressed by Yoshigan, measured their relationship with Yoshigan from the perspective of feminism.
There are also Akechi Mitsuhide, Yamanaka Yukimori, Shima Katsumeo, etc., the Hime Warriors who have a physical relationship with Yoshigan. Their thoughts are to stand in front of Yoshigan and protect their lovers from the wind and rain.
Have you ever discovered such a problem? All Ji warriors have a deep-rooted mentality that women are superior to men.
Even if Yiyin as an individual is considered stronger than himself by the Ji Warriors, as a group of men and women, all the Ji Warriors agree that men should be protected.
The Hime Warriors in the world of women, they are men without Jill, and they are masculine in their thinking. People like them cannot satisfy the spiritual needs of Yiyin's masculinity.
But today, Hojo Ushimasa's admiration and admiration are more like that of a weak woman in a male-dominated world, who sincerely admires the omnipotent man and longs to be with the powerful him.
How to describe this feeling? It’s probably because Yiyin could only eat Japanese food every day after time travel, but one day, he discovered hot pot skewers.
Would he be willing if he didn't take a few bites?
Yiyin's hands were shaking a little. His reason told him that he should not be soft-hearted. If others were to be soft-hearted, he would be in trouble later.
But there was another cat's paw scratching the tip of his heart, tempting him to try hot pot skewers.
Looking at the rippling drink, Yiyin finally chose to drink it all in one gulp.
Go to hell, if you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow!
