Chapter 8: Gift Giving
Sometimes, as parents, there are many things to do, and the most important one is to wipe your butts for your children. In fact, there is no problem with the fight between children in Ah Tuan. The Maeda Rika and others were often beaten by her back then.
The only problem with this is to kill the person quickly. But Azuki also understood that the reality was not as she imagined. In this era, a son of a illegitimate son injured his eldest son, and the problem would basically be infinitely magnified by his retainers. If Katsumaru was not Azuki's adopted son now, Nobunaga would have sent Katsumaru to be a novice monk that day, and he would have to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name all his life, and it would be impossible to give him another chance.
Katsumaru's behavior was more serious than the betrayal of Nobuyuki at that time. According to the warriors of this era, this was a serious incident that shook the foundation of the family.
In fact, Ah Quan didn't know that regardless of the Warring States Period, even in modern Japan, they also paid great attention to their origins. The simplest thing is to look at their appearance. It is rarely an example of the children at the bottom of society's efforts to improve. Even in the Warring States Period, it is common to constantly find a good origin for themselves after success. This situation is difficult to see in Chinese, because most of them understand the saying "A hero asks the source" and know the saying "Is there any king, prince, general, and minister?"
Although Ahn's uncle didn't care about this, her body was a person of this era, and she could only follow the customs and immediately ordered Ichiro Oda to go to Ono Castle to transport a ship of luxury goods from Southeast Asia, Mingguo and Nanman. Then in less than three days, the goods arrived at the Port of Retta. Ahn immediately took several carts of gifts to Kiyosu Castle like Santa Claus.
"It's so annoying."
Ah Quan felt that this was probably the mood of all elders wiping their butts for their children. Her first stop was naturally the home of the lord of Qingzhou City.
Because I was not discussing some secrets with Nobunaga, this time it was not Shimotoshi, but in a larger room. Most of the Oda Moon family members appeared, whether it was the side room where they could not even name it or the niece I met for the first time, including the Miracle Maple with a white cloth on his left hand, looking at Ah Goun with fear.
Ah Gou didn't surprise herself to get this kind of look. After all, her four children beat this person together...
"What is this?" Nobunaga used his right hand to sniff a coffee bean.
"So bitter! It's a bit burnt?" Asichi was an action player. He immediately put it in his mouth and frowned.
"This is coffee, not for eating..." Ah-dog, who was in the center of the room, pushed a set of utensils next to the coffee beans like a salesman, "Dispensing these tools can refresh your mind."
"Oh... it looks amazing." Asici covered his mouth and exclaimed softly.
Ah Goun thinks that this sister is indeed her brain, and she is definitely world-class in terms of fuss. Unfortunately, she is still the object of her longing for by the entire Ohara samurai...
"Yeah, can Ah Quan teach me how to do it?" Gui Die looked at Ah Quan who brought the gift at this time, and his resentment towards her was a little lighter.
Ah Gou also knows the problem. Nobunaga may not have anything. The two siblings have nothing to explain. They have had a tacit understanding for a long time, but Gui Die is different. Even Tian Gou from the previous life also understands the truth that "women are very stingy."
Ah Quan scratched her face, "I will let the maid teach you later, but I don't really understand."
"Then please."
"You're welcome." Ah Goun lost her arrogant and arrogant attitude at this time, and she became a little normal. Of course, she did not flatter her, that was not her personality.
"Then what is this? Baking jade?" Nobunaga picked up another thing that looked very strong and black.
"No." Azuku curled her lips and expressed disdain. She didn't have that good patience to Nobunaga. Anyway, this time she was doing it for her retainers and other people from the Oda family.
"What is that?" Asichi was curious.
Ah Gou didn't say anything, and directly reached out to pick up one and looked at the people present. When she saw that Ah City gave up studying coffee beans, she said, "What is it?", "Explain it to me quickly", "Don't keep it in a silence", etc., and leaned over with curiosity, Ah Gou pinched it hard-
With a "puff", white juice splashed out!
Damn, Ashi was immediately splashed with juice on his face, and he didn't even have time to cover his face, and just exclaimed, "Wow-"
"Hahahahaha!" The dog who had successfully played the prank laughed.
The maid next to him immediately took the towel and wiped the juice from Ashi's face, while others immediately replaced the tatami on the ground.
"This is a fruit of mangosteen. You can eat sweet fruits by pinching it open." Ah Dog doesn't know what the word A is called now, and only uses the later name to call it.
After Ah Gou finished saying this, Nobunaga immediately ordered people to divide the pile of black mangosteens, and each person could get one.
To be honest, when Ah Dog watched everyone spray white juice on her body when she pinched it, she felt healed, especially when she saw a few young niece using all her strength and only had a little to eat...
This is how she plays at home. Basically everyone is on guard. When Ah Gou takes out new things to reward him, everyone will look like they are facing a great enemy. Now not only Xiao Muyama Castle and Ono Castle know that Ah Gou has this kind of evil interest, but even the people in Qingzhou Castle know it.
"Xueji, you are so stupid, aunt, come and help you!" After eating what was in her hand, Ashi immediately fell in love with the niece next to him. He took it over and pinched it open with the reason of help, and then returned it after eating a few pieces.
Ah Gou thought about it and finally remembered that this Xue Ji was adopted by Nobunaga a while ago. Just as she wanted to chat with this niece, Nobunaga's voice came again-
"What about these?"
Nobunaga regretted his generousness a little, because after the mangosteen was divided, there was no one left. He wanted to eat a little more. After all, it was the first time everyone had eaten it, and each portion was small, so it was gone after a few bites.
Next, Ah Gou never tires about other things. Of course, Ah Gou also enjoys it because she can keep doing things like Ah City. It was not until noon that Ah Gou got out of the party at her family, but she did not forget that she had only completed a small part of her task, and then she had to send the things to other homes for apology.
"This is so polite!" Mori Kecheng only lives in the Samurai Nagaya in Kiyosu City. At this time, he looked like an ordinary samurai, and he didn't look like a powerful retainer of the Oda family at all.
"Well... Are the two young men okay?" Ah Quan tried to ask.
"It's just a kid's fight, and Ono Temple doesn't need to take it to heart." Mori Kecheng waved his hand.
"That's fine."
After leaving the Sen family, Ah Gou was actually a little relieved. She thought that the first Sen family to be beaten was from the Lin family, but now it seems that they were just incited.
However, if Ah Gou came home and found that all three sons were knocked on the stick, she would definitely not say anything and use weapons to help the other party teach her son. However, Sen Kecheng is still very large and did not refuse Ah Gou outside the door. Besides, Ah Gou did not show Sen Kecheng to look very angry with her.
Of course, there are good people, and naturally there are also unwelcome-
"I'm sorry, the gaitou family really can't accept these gifts, so please take them back."
Ahn visited so many families, most of them were kind and even if they were angry, they didn’t refuse as directly as the tied family. However, Sakato actually knew what the reason was, and she was likely to be part of that reason...
"This is my own fault, I can't get it out."
Since Masahisattack Hito committed suicide, the relationship with the Oda family has had some gaps, and it has not obviously turned to the Lin family. But these will change, such as being idle and having no chance to linger.
Although that was a concern for Nobunaga to protect his teacher's son, it was a suppression of their draw in the eyes of outsiders.
Of course, Nobunaga has also had problems recently, but he did not push the tie-in family away from the core of his family like suppressing Lin Xiuzhen. Instead, he actively brought them back and handed over Moribe Castle to the tie-in management is the best proof.
It was not until evening that Ah Gou had finished everything. When she was about to go back to Xiaomu Mountain overnight, she received a notice from Nobunaga to see her...
"What's wrong? Haven't I done it all? Is there any question?" Ahn met Nobunaga at a resting room in Kiyosu Castle.
"It's not that thing." Nobunaga shook his head.
"That's it?" Ah Dog frowned.
"I plan to give you the Miracle Pill to teach."
"What?" Ah Dog opened her mouth wide and looked in disbelief.
Nobunaga smiled bitterly, "You don't know about this incident, but those family members who are not giving up are doing small things for the time being, right?"
"Tsk tsk, there's your teacher's little son inside."
"Don't talk about this." Nobunaga looked like he had eaten a feces.
"So, what does it have to do with my teaching of Qimiao Pill?" Ahn wondered.
"It's not that you always teach, you just have a few days to go there... He wants to know more warriors of different factions and styles. What he teaches him now is still focused on contacting him, and it's all the same style."
"Isn't it enough for you to change to a young teacher? I'll see Katsuzaburo, Inuchiyo and Sasa Masaji." Azuki suggested
"Hengxing is not suitable for being too stern, and Inuchiyo is too frivolous and has just returned to his home to have another task. Masato... Compared to his brother, he needs more training."
A Quan curled his lips, "Then I'm very suitable? Didn't I see that all the children I brought out work together to hurt your son? I have to send gifts...I feel a little tired now."
Ah Goun’s words are not telling the truth, because she is actually a little proud. The four children in the family can beat so many people together. Ah Goun does not need to worry that they will be a good person when they grow up!
That's right, what I needed most in the Warring States Period were loyal bad people, not good people like the Virgin. Being Virgin must not live long. This is not a fairy tale that advocates faith, hope, friendship, hope for light.
Nobunaga forced to stop the topic, "That's all, there are a few more things to do next."
"Yeah." Ahn didn't refute. Anyway, there were benefits when Qimiaomaru came. You could reconcile with Katsumaru, or let Xuemaru and the others get to know the next home governor of the Oda family as soon as possible.
"What's the next thing you said?"
"I want to build a castle in Sumata to weaken the Saito family's control over Simino."
A-dog closed her eyes and pulled the map out of her memory. After a while, he nodded. "It's indeed a good idea. If it succeeds, it can not only become a barrier between Moribe and Ice City, but also hit Simeono's top and bottom five inches like a nail."
"Yes?" Nobuya smiled smugly.
"But the problem is that there are enemies on all sides, what should we do?"
"Yes, there are enemy-occupied areas there, and it is very difficult to build a city there, so-"
"Wait." Ah Gou interrupted. She felt that this task was a bit difficult for her. "First, my subordinates who know how to build a city are busy smuggling, otherwise you wouldn't have to eat mangosteen just now, plus the slaves in Ono Castle... all the workers were liberated by you, and there was no extra manpower."
"I know, this is to say to you before the evaluation meeting, otherwise everyone will not dare to recommend themselves because they are afraid of offending you."
"Occursing me?"
"Didn't you always take the lead in every battle before?" Nobunaga looked teasing.
Ah Gou was stunned for a moment, and she remembered that it seemed like this was really wrong...
"Finally, it's about Tsuru Maru Fen. I'm going to give him the word "Nobu". When do you plan to let him first formation?" Nobunaga was still very concerned about his nephew, especially the other party was the unparalleled son of the Western Kingdom, which made him feel even more like he had a long face.
"Uh...when can you do it...by the way, even Suimaru can do it at once!"
"So fast?"
"Tsk tsk, they can all defeat the older quasi-samurai, can't they go to the battlefield yet?" Ah Gou waved her hand, looking like "You feel at ease, I'm responsible."
"Then you go and arrange it." Nobunaga thought about it and felt it was.
Ah-dog nodded and looked at Nobunaga like a dead fish eye, "Then, is there anything else?"
"No."
"Then you won't leave!"
"Because the coffee is a bit bitter, I don't really want to drink a second cup for the time being." Nobunaga was very honest.
"Stupid! Is there a hole in my brain if I don't have any bitterness or sugar or milk? Did my maid not teach me?" Ah Dog laughed.
Nobunaga said "cut" and said before leaving: "You are the rich and do not know the difficulties of the poor."
Ah Gou was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that in this era, even sugar is a luxury, so she had to sigh... and then laughed, because she just wanted to see this.
