"... Just like that, Doraemon, Nobita, and his friends Fatora and Xiaofu defeated Aoki together! When they cheered for victory, the demon boy suddenly appeared and took away the seriously injured Aoki.
Before he left, he told them viciously that he was waiting for his revenge!"
The idiot Loli tilted her head and asked strangely: "But why doesn't the demon boy help Aoki take revenge?"
Torahime hit Chiyome Mochizuki on the forehead and said with a smile: "Idiot! Of course it's because the real form of the demon boy is not here!"
"Eh? Is this still possible?" Chiyoko Mochizuki covered her forehead and shook her two pigtails and said strangely: "It seems like the clone technique that my father once talked about!"
"Idiot! Don't say that weird stuff, people can't be separated!"
"Oh! Chiyo-onna also thinks it's a story about her father cheating on Chiyo-onna." Idiot Loli said thoughtfully, "Because what my father said is different every time!"
"Okay! Don't talk anymore, come and try the new grilled river shrimp made by Ah Ju! It's delicious!" Ah Ju walked in with a plate of red grilled shrimp, freeing the two girls from their entanglement.
The two of them reached out and picked up a shrimp at the same time, then made the same move and handed the shrimp to Kira Yoshitoki.
"Your Highness! This is for you!" The two people said in unison. Kiragi was immediately stunned when he realized that his actions were imitated by the other party. Torahime glared at Chiyome very unhappily, "Big red deer! This is
It’s my Highness, only I, Hu Ji, can give you shrimps and other things!”
"This is also Chiyome's Highness. Chiyome is going to feed His Highness the shrimps." Chiyome Mochizuki stubbornly handed the shrimps over and said, "Your Highness, open your mouth!" Before Kira Yoshishi opened her mouth, she opened her mouth and said, "Ah.
.”
"You are provoking!" A certain female tiger's anger gauge was soaring, and Kira Yoshi seemed to vaguely see the blazing fire in her body. It made him a little worried about what would happen to this stupid loli.
"No! Chiyome is just doing what she should do!" Chiyome Mochizuki was still staring at Kira Yoshinori's mouth persistently, and still said: "Open your mouth, ah."
"Ah." A certain man accidentally opened his mouth, and then a bright red and delicious shrimp fell into his mouth. Then he regretted it. The water on his head flowed down like a waterfall, because a certain shrimp fell into his mouth.
The tiger loli was approaching step by step, and the poor shrimp in her hand was crushed instantly. You can even imagine this poor lobster screaming in pain in the kingdom of heaven.
"Why! What! What!" Torahime's anger gauge was full, as if she was planning to unleash her ultimate attack on him. Kiragi immediately reached over and took her finger in his mouth, then sucked the poor shrimp into his mouth with one force.
Inside, while chewing, he praised: "It's so delicious! Aju's cooking is amazing!"
"Eh? Your Highness sucked... my finger?" Hu Ji's cheeks turned red instantly, like a boiling hot water kettle steaming, she looked at her fingers stupidly, almost shy
Passed out.
Aju smiled and took out a stack of letter paper. She handed it to Kiragi and said, "Your Highness, Princess Katsuhime has written a letter! She said in the letter that everything is fine. Many people in Kyoto are playing big business. It was produced by the Konoe family.
The exquisite game chess is selling very well. I wish His Highness and Princess Torahime good health. I am very sorry that I can't attend next year's wedding... I hope Your Highness will write the story of Doraemon in the letter and send it back. Of course, I also want Echigo's snacks.
Remember to bring a few extra copies!”
"Oh! Shengji also wrote a letter to Aju... You don't have to be so economical? The content is the same for several people." Kira Yoshi said with tears: "It's really a waste of my love for her!"
"It's different! The names are different. Oni-chan is His Highness's special name, and A-Ju just calls her Sister A-Ju!" A-Ju corrected seriously.
"Torahime wants to watch it too!" Torahime leaned on Kira Yoshitoki's shoulder and said while watching: "During the more than a month that Torahime was at Konoe's house, Princess Katsuhime was the only one to play with me! She was the only one to play with me!
Take out the Thousand Feathered Cranes, Paper Stars and Bamboo Dragonflies to share with Hu Ji. There are also many delicious things. It is because of this that Hu Ji knows Sister Aju!"
"Those are all my gifts to that girl."
"Eh?" Hu Ji was stunned for a moment and asked stupidly: "Can Your Highness give Hu Ji a gift?"
"Chiyoda wants it too!" Idiot Loli said with her fingers in her mouth in anticipation.
"...No problem, everything that should be there will be there."
The Kira family's fleet set out to sea from the Shinano River in Shimotsu and returned to Naoetsu Port along the coastline. What greeted them here was a group of retainers from the Kira family. This was expected, but Honjo Minoru was unexpected.
However, he was still surprised when a group of Nagao retainers including Nagao Kagenobu and Naoe Mitsuna came to greet him.
Kira Yoshitoki walked up quickly and said with a smile: "The princes of Mimasaku-den, Toyozen-den and Echigo personally welcomed me, which made Yoshitoki both surprised and happy!"
"Bueden was injured and injured in order to save His Highness the Princess, but we and other retainers did nothing. I am very ashamed. It is great that Takee-don can recover this time! On behalf of the Nagao family, I sincerely welcome Takee-don and Her Highness the Princess back, and at the same time wish them both a happy life."
May we be happily together and grow old together!" Honjo Minoru was full of sincere blessings, which made the Kira family retainers immediately take a high look, and the originally unharmonious atmosphere gathered at the port also eased.
"Thank you, Meisaku-don, for your blessing!" Kira Yoshi held Torahime's slender hand and said to everyone with a smile: "Torahime and I will definitely be happy!"
As soon as I arrived at the foot of Mount Kasuga, I saw Nagao Kagetora in full attire in front of the Otemon Gate. His face was still rosy and healthy compared to half a year ago, and his steps were steady and he didn't look drunk at all. When he saw Kira Yoshi, Nagao was
Hu Ji came hand in hand, patted the two of them on the shoulders with satisfaction, and said happily: "The fact that you can reconcile as before is also the reward for going through many hardships this time! Bless you!"
The two looked at each other, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, brother."
"Okay! Very good!" Nagao Kagetora looked very happy and ordered the samurai behind him: "Let's have a banquet! Let's cleanse the dust of Wu Weiden and the princess!"
The Echigo-style salmon roll made by Nagao family is very delicious. Of course, the cooked food highly praised by Kiragi is indispensable. The delicious fish soup and grilled fish and grilled shrimp are also very popular, paired with various delicious seasonal foods in summer and autumn.
Fruits and vegetables were used to prepare all kinds of exquisite delicacies, and there were also unexpected singing and dancing performances. These were the shrine maidens from the Udo Shrine in the Gochi area near Sekikawa. They came to offer blessings from the gods and humans of the grand shrine to wish peace and prosperity to the country of Echigo.
The samurai of Echigo were different from the samurai of Mikawa and Kinai. They loved drinking and talking loudly. When they were drunk, they would often hum and hum strange ballads with their arms around each other, and some would beat the time to the songs and dances of the shrine maidens.
Everyone is immersed in the joy of harvest from top to bottom.
Nagao Kagetora was no exception. His desk was filled with two sets of sake. He raised his cup to pour himself a glass of sake and watched the song and dance performance. After a while, the shrine maidens withdrew to prepare a new show. The ones who came on stage were the monkey musicians.
The performers are magicians, Tianle, and puppets. Tianle is derived from the ancient music and dance Tianwu. Tianwu was originally a sacrificial ceremony to pray for a good harvest. Later, it was introduced into the palace and became the royal music and dance, but it was quickly suppressed by other music and dances and declined.
, part of which was accepted by the common people and became Tianle and developed.
The songs and dances in Tianraku developed into Tianraku Noh, and its repertoire includes "Kikushui", "Hepu", "Two Stars", "Kitano Monokaku no No", "Shakuhachi no No", "Horan Shojin no No", "
Dramas such as "The Power of the Four Demons" and "The Power of Genji" are very popular among the people. Among them, the most interesting part of kyogen in Sarugaku is shared with Noh and Tianraku, such as "Travel to the Mountain", "Songron"
", "Fuzi" and other dramas are like this.
Since the outbreak of the Onin Rebellion, the decline of the shogunate and the power of temples in the past century has had a huge impact on the development of Sarugaku. Except for a few songs that have continued to innovate gorgeous and dramatic changes, thus winning praise from the general audience,
The old-school monkey musicians are gradually dying out because they cannot keep up with the times.
For example, Tengaku, a centuries-old Noh music genre, is in danger of being cut off. This group of Kyoto guru musicians is the last group of guru guru musicians inherited from the Heian period. Of course, this troupe also performs kyogen drama, usually with the accompaniment of big drums and snare drums.
, performing various arranged light-hearted and funny plays, occasionally interspersed with improvisational performances by some performers.
"To say that it is thanks to the help of Buueden that the people of Echigo can safely survive this flood, and the autumn harvest is really amazing!" Nagao Masakage seemed to have learned some details from his wife Nagao Aya, so
When treating Kiragi, he and Nagao Torahime were particularly warm and close.
Honjo Minoru also echoed after hearing this: "Yes! Takee-don is really compassionate. My lord, I would like to say that Your Highness is willing to reveal the secret of breeding and top-dressing regardless of gain or loss. It is really a great thing that benefits Echigo! You are the best for Echigo!"
The great benefactor of the last 350,000 people!"
Many samurai turned curiously and listened to the statement of this famous Kyoto man, but they were definitely disappointed because this level of probing would not affect him at all.
"The compliments from your two highnesses made Yoshiki blush a little!" Yoshiki Kira laughed half-jokingly, causing all the ministers to laugh.
"There is no need to be humble when it comes to justice. No one else can take away your achievements. As early as last year, I, Kagetora, saw that under your governance, the two counties of Omi far surpassed the counties on the other side of Lake Biwa. Both the scholars and the common people lived a prosperous life. Considering the small size of the two counties,
Land can increase food production by more than half, and this ability cannot be learned by others!"
Nagao Kagetora stood up to testify, which made the banquet more lively. Many Echigo samurai took the initiative to go over to inquire about relevant information. Kira Yoshitoki also answered all questions without any pretense, which made the Kira family sitting on the other side
The samurai smiled, and Hosokawa Fujitaka covered his cheeks with a folding fan and said excitedly: "The owner of the hall is very popular. The strategy we laid out at the beginning finally worked."
"Shh!" Tokiyuki Yamamoto, who was sitting next to him, made a gesture of silence and said: "It's been hard work for half a year and it's hard to have some entertainment. Let's continue drinking!"
ps: Some book friends said they don’t understand what “Oku Shinano” means. In fact, “Oku” means north. For example, Oku Mikawa and Hitachi Mutsu Seven Counties all refer to the northern counties of the country. Also:
There will be a big explosion tomorrow, so I’m ready to call for more tickets! I’m already prepared to withstand the impact!
