Since his parents passed away a few years ago and Kira Manshomaru successfully took over as the family governor, he found that his life was even more miserable. He even began to miss his father's life when he was still alive. At least these hateful family retainers did not dare to blatantly
Even though he was showing off in front of him, Kansuke Yamamoto would not be dragged around every day and let his good life come to an end.
Ohuchi Nobuzada teaches him the basics of Chinese studies every day, and occasionally talks about samurai classics such as "The Tale of Hogen", "The Tale of Heiji", "The Tale of the Heike", and "Azuma Mirror". Fortunately, most of the classics record learning in Chinese characters.
It's not too difficult, but Ohuchi Nobuzada's teaching level is really not that good. First, he reads it according to the text, and then lets him recite the rest by himself. The method of the Ming Dynasty: "Read it a hundred times and the meaning will be apparent to you."
"What a scam! Who said that after reading it a hundred times, the meaning will be revealed! And you have to recite it sentence by sentence in the authentic ancient Kyoto accent! This is simply unreasonable!" No wonder Kira Mansomaru gritted his teeth and cursed the teacher,
The Okouchi family's almost perverted education method has tortured generations of Kira family governors. It is said that this tradition was the rule set by the Kira Choji, the first ancestor of the Kira family, Shin Midōden. As a member of the Minamoto clan, one must be proficient in knowledge and be proficient in bow and horse.
It is precisely for this reason that since the Kira Naga clan began to follow the Kira family, the Okouchi family, which has served as the head of the Kira family for generations, has been responsible for the management of the Kira family's classics and the education of the family governor's heirs. In the past, this responsibility was held by the Okouchi family's home governor.
To finish, this old Nobumasa was very old and his eyesight was blurred. He would start to doze off unconsciously after reading a few lines from a book, so he lived a pretty good life.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances. After the death of his father, Yoshihiro Kira, Nobumasa Ohuchi felt deeply that he was no longer able to assist the young governor at his old age, so he immediately decided to live in seclusion and leave it to his son Nobusada Ohuchi. This deceived Kira.
Mansomaru, this guy's energy is not inferior to that of Yamamoto Kansuke, and he also has a habit of nagging that Yamamoto Kansuke doesn't have. Once he starts nagging, he won't stop. He can recite the Kira family's genealogy backwards and forwards, and spray out a bunch of samurai righteousness like a machine gun.
, I wasn’t satisfied until I sprayed him so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.
As a lineage official of the Kira family, he has served the Kira family for more than three hundred years. Their family also has a glorious history of making Kira Manshomaru dizzy. Generally speaking, his family is also a famous member of the Qinghe Minamoto clan and the Settsu Minamoto clan.
Descendants of Minamoto Yorimasa were sequestered to Okouchi Township, Natsuda County, Mikawa Kingdom during the Kamakura Period to serve as the head of the Kira family. Their power in Mikawa Kingdom cannot be underestimated, ranking only behind the Matsudaira family in Nwada County.
A powerful martial artist.
Not only that, the Okawachi clan also used the opportunity of collecting and keeping the Kira family's documents and records to enrich their knowledge, and followed the Kira family governor to Kyoto to serve His Highness Kōkata, and exchanged knowledge with cultural people in Kyoto, and took this opportunity to call themselves a
The intellectuals and scholarly families of the Three Rivers Kingdom.
"This is not something humans do. If I continue to learn like this, I will go crazy sooner or later! This will definitely kill people!" Holding a volume of the Northern Song Dynasty edition of "Hanshu", Kira Wansongmaru read carefully every word.
, as long as he recites it wrongly, he will be stopped by Nobuzada Ohuchi, and then recite it over and over again, trying to make every accent without any mistakes before he can continue.
In the eyes of everyone during the Warring States Period, the country folk in Kanto could never understand the peerless elegance of Kyoto. The Kanto accent was an accent that exuded the atmosphere of country folk from top to bottom, and the Kanto samurai were a group of stubborn representatives. Without culture and appreciation, it was impossible to understand
There was no way to communicate. In his opinion, Kanto was the most terrifying place in the world, second only to Minami Kyushu, Yu'ao, and Hokuriku. It was ranked fourth among the places that should never be visited.
Kira Manshomaru really couldn't understand how he came to the above conclusion. He couldn't tell that he was still a stubborn regional discriminator. Kanto in the Warring States Period always had a special status. He valued and guarded against it, but also had a bit of contempt and
Disdain, this principle is very complicated, even Nobuzada Ohuchi doesn't know how to explain it.
Although he didn't agree with Okawachi Nobuzada's theory, he didn't dare to refute it. He had to face this wolf-like teacher every day, and had to put on airs and read every word carefully. You can imagine his psychology.
There was so much pressure that sometimes when he was practicing basic etiquette and smiling, he would feel that his cheeks were a little stiff. This was all being forced out of him.
Since coming to this era, he has discovered that 90% of the uneducated country warriors cannot read a single Chinese character, less than 10% can barely recognize some characters and can read and write letters, and the only ones who can be truly regarded as literate are the poor ones.
A little bit, and the samurai who claim to be intellectuals are all high-level martial artists with profound backgrounds. Of course, there are also a few lucky ones who become disciples of celebrities, but that tiny probability is lower than winning a big prize, and can almost be ignored.
The successive governors of the Kira family have received many gifts from the emperor and generals, as well as some gifts from the closely related high-level samurai families. Giving each other extra books of the same edition as gifts can also enhance friendship, and some others come from businessmen.
The books we promote include purchasing many books from Sakai Town.
The ancestors of the Kira family have been serving the general for a long time, and the chance of obtaining books is much greater than that of the samurai daimyo hiding in the countryside. Moreover, there is a sense of being greedy when putting away books, and they do not care whether the books are good or bad, useful or not.
Let’s talk about it, this nouveau riche-style book collecting trend gradually stopped with the decline of the shogunate’s power. Although there was no income from the collection, the thousands of various books in the entire library still looked very troublesome.
So much so that Nobumasa Okouchi's father, the previous generation of family governor of the Okouchi family, who assisted the third generation of family governor of the Kira family and who has now lived in seclusion for more than ten years, gave him a long list of books to read slowly.
The euphemistic name is to increase his knowledge reserve, which makes it extremely difficult for him to study now.
Holding the book and shaking his head as he read, Opposite him sat Nobuzada Ohuchi, holding a copy of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". I really didn't know that my ancestors always got this kind of unorthodox book. The cover was very new and well preserved.
It was intact and looked almost untouched. Ohuchi Nobuzada came to urge him to study in a self-serving way. He sat aside and slowly enjoyed the book. If he read a little slower, he would be scolded, but he held the maid in his hands.
I felt uncomfortable sipping the tea soup that was brought to me slowly.
This season is just in time for the upcoming autumn harvest. This year’s harvest is pretty good, with good weather and good weather. Farmers are singing chants to harvest grain to celebrate the most important harvest season of the year. Probably, the prospects for this year’s autumn harvest are very good.
It can collect a considerable annual payment for the Kira family, so Ohuchi Nobuzada was in a particularly good mood today. After hearing him read for more than an hour, he stopped and asked a few simple questions about the era names of the Han Dynasty.
, asked simple questions such as the name of the minister and what happened, and let him go very readily.
