After asking clearly what he wanted to know, Hosokawa Fujitaka no longer wanted to talk to these dudes, so he patiently chatted for a few words and then left with Akechi Mitsuhide.
As soon as Hosokawa Fujitaka returned to Kyoto, he anxiously searched for these dandies because he wanted to know more about the virtues of the young masters of the Shiba family.
If you are really a virtuous person, you might as well follow Qing Yuan's mother's wishes. She is focused on maintaining the family business and does not care about men and women. It is just a task to pass on the family line. It is not a marriage to marry any family, as long as the elders are happy.
.
But after hearing the rumors in Kyoto, I had a bad impression of the young master of the Shiba family. This was not a wedding, he was clearly marrying a time bomb. He had to persuade him to break off the marriage, and this was not the case for his ignorant fiancé.
She didn't know that Haru Mibuchi revealed her intention to get married to Yoshihiro Shiba only after the war, and the words in the letter about her mother-in-law, which made her misunderstood.
Due to a misunderstanding about the unreliable Haruwa's mother, the marriage was finalized. Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was worried about how to get rid of his fiancé, turned his attention to his best friend Akechi Mitsuhide.
"Guangxiu, look..."
"I do not watch."
"I think.."
"I don't think so."
Hosokawa Fujitaka was stopped by Akechi Mitsuhide with a few words. Although the two had not known each other for a long time, they were close friends.
As soon as Hosokawa Fujitaka opened his mouth, Akechi Mitsuhide knew that this girl had evil intentions. Considering himself to be an elegant and calm woman, Akechi Mitsuhide was also shocked by the deeds of the Nashiba family master, and he was not grateful.
In front of all the ministers of the shogunate, he contradicted the general, took off his clothes and acted wildly. What a strange man he was.
If it weren't for the relationship between the Shiba family and the Ashikaga family, the general would have killed this arrogant man with his sword.
Are you afraid of Fujitaka Hosokawa, but I'm not afraid of Mitsuhide Akechi? Don't torment me with lies about being famous and noble, and beneficial to your future career.
Even if I, Akechi Mitsuhide, starve to death on the streets of Kyoto and no man likes me in my life, I will not pursue such a rich man.
Both of them were smart people, and their respective thoughts were clear after a few words. Hosokawa Fujitaka had to sigh and find another way.
Seeing that it was getting late, since I had returned to Kyoto, I naturally wanted to go to Sanyuan Mansion to greet me. I had no choice but to go there.
When Sanbuchi Haru heard that her second daughter had returned home, she had someone bring her in.
Seeing that she was bringing along a warrior warrior who was no less beautiful than Fujitaka himself, I couldn't help but complain in my heart.
This is not to let you have more contact with Shiba Yiyin and develop a relationship. What do you mean by finding such a beautiful Ji Samurai to accompany you? Aren't you afraid that the duck you got will fly away?
But Akechi Mitsuhide was nearby, and it was not convenient for her to say more, so she could only glare at Hosokawa Fujitaka.
"Why is your child coming so slowly? The shogunate has already made arrangements and is waiting for you."
"Mother, please forgive me, but you know that the Miyoshi family is restless, and Hosokawa is a little busy, so I rushed back as quickly as possible."
In private situations, Hosokawa Fujitaka still calls Mibuchi Haruwa's mother, which Hosokawa Motonsune also recognizes. They are both sisters, one daughter and two, and their relationship is good.
Mibuchi Haru nodded after hearing this. She couldn't help but worry about the Izumi Hosokawa family, but she couldn't do anything about it after the nest was overturned.
The Ashikaga family cannot bear it, and all the officials in the shogunate are having a hard time. Ashikaga Yoshiteru is also a wise master. I hope my ancestors will bless the Ashikaga family and they can survive this crisis.
"You will set off tomorrow, and the supporting personnel from the Liujia family will meet near the border.
It's unfortunate that you're here. The Shiba family's son Yoshigan and his retainers said that they were going out to visit Kyoto and are not in the house right now. I will introduce you to them later."
"No, mother, I will gather outside the mansion tomorrow morning. There are still some matters to be dealt with at Hosokawa, so I will sleep in the mansion over there tonight."
Hearing that Yoshigan was not here, Hosokawa Fujitaka was overjoyed. He rejected his mother's request for accommodation and left on the pretext of running errands. Izumi-Hosokawa's family has their own mansion in Kyoto, so she was not afraid of having no place to live.
It's just that Mibuchi Haru was a little regretful. The second daughter was in a hurry to do things and left many things before she could explain them properly. She was relieved after thinking that it wouldn't be too late for them to come back from Omi.
On the way, Akechi Mitsuhide saw Hosokawa Fujitaka running away like his tail was on fire, and he burst out laughing.
"Why are you laughing? If you laugh again, I will marry Na Sibo Yiyin to you."
"Please forgive me, Lord Hosokawa, and keep it for yourself. It turns out it's called Shiba Yoshigan, but it's a good name."
"But people, hehe."
The two of them were joking with each other. Hosokawa Fujitaka made up his mind to deal with this young man coldly on the road. It would be best if he felt aggrieved and ended the marriage himself. Wouldn't it be nice?
Otani Village in Omi Province, Otani Village is a natural village near Omi Kannonji Castle.
More than a hundred years ago, in order to increase their strength, the Rokkaku family made it easier for the Shimo samurai to open up the wilderness. At that time, the ancestors of the Otani family also had the courage to challenge and received the certificate of pioneering.
At that time, he was only given the title of land servant. As the lowest-ranking Hime warrior, Otani had no chance to stand out. He used this title to open up farmland in the wilderness south of Guanyinji City, drive away wild animals, and gather mountain people. After a hundred years of development,
It was only then that the people of the country achieved this territory of more than a thousand stones.
However, due to the continuous wars in recent years, the Liujia family looked like flowers, but in fact it was already a powerful family. On the one hand, they needed food, grass, and copper coins to support the war, and on the other hand, they rewarded their knowledge and deeds to win over their retainers.
If close relatives and retainers from generation to generation are united and cannot be plundered, life will be difficult for the people of the subordinate states and counties.
Not only is the military food service increasing day by day, but the number of battles is also increasing. As the land attendants of Otani Village, the Otani family has been tortured to death.
In this generation, money and food are no longer enough to survive. After the previous family governor died fighting for the Rokkaku family, only a girl with a strange disease was left behind.
But even though it was so tragic, there was no peace. Seeing that the Otani family was about to die, the Rokkaku family wanted to invade the Otani family's territory.
One thousand stone is not too much, not too little. Zhixing is enough to house several meritorious samurai. They have to wait for three years for the Otani girl to fall seriously ill and die.
Otani Yoshitsugi lives in the Otani family mansion in the village. This was originally the tallest and most beautiful building in the village, but now it is overgrown with weeds and rarely visited.
A few years ago, she suffered from a strange disease. Her skin was itchy and unbearable, and from time to time she developed red spots and ulcers. When her mother died in the battle, the people in the house were distraught, and there were also vicious rumors that her disease was passed on to others.
Otani Yoshitsugi was also stubborn, dismissed his servants, and lived alone. Originally, her mother had already arranged a marriage for her, and the man was the child of the local servant in the next village, a well-known handsome man from all over the country.
After his mother died in the war, the groom's family began to push back and forth. Later, they heard that the Rokkaku family had the idea of taking back the Otani family's territory, and a paper abandoning the marriage was thrown into the mansion, and no one was seen again.
For the past three years, she pretended to be seriously ill and would die at any time, paralyzing the greed of the Rokkaku family. The Rokkaku family was concerned about their reputation and wanted to wait until she died before accepting the territory, so as to look better.
In fact, she has a skin problem. Although the ulcers on her body are scary, it is not fatal.
Yesterday, an order came from the Rokkaku family, asking her to lead troops to the border of the mountain castle to meet the nobles of the famous Shiba family of the shogunate, and then go to fight Asai.
After reading the order repeatedly, I always felt that there was a hint of conspiracy in it. But Otani Yoshitsugi didn't care, she also needed a chance to get out of sight of the Rokkaku family.
If I pretend to die in battle, I can leave secretly. When I become successful and famous, I will definitely come back. Just wait, Rokkaku's family.
