Asai Nagamasa was unwilling to sleep with the city king. From the beginning, he was reluctant to do so, and then he politely avoided it.
Ichikun is a good husband, and he has always wanted to be a good and virtuous husband. Asai Nagamasa knew that it was his fault and that he was sorry for him.
But, I'm sorry, I really can't forget that boy, Shiba Yiyin, he's back, he's finally back.
The boy in the dream is really back.
———
Recently, all parties have been in chaos when they heard about the return of Sputnik Bank.
In Mino Country, Yoshigan Shiba has arrived at Gifu City. Oda Nobunaga prepared a residence for him and became his temporary residence.
His Majesty the Gifu Castle Tenshu, Tsuchida's former residence in the inner courtyard of the Oda family.
Mr. Nong bowed cautiously, not knowing why his father-in-law called him here.
Tsuchida Gozen glanced at his son-in-law and waved his hand. The servants around him bowed and left, leaving the room to the two men.
After everyone had left, Tsuchida Gozen asked.
"Did you write an invitation letter to the imperial office?"
Mr. Nong looked up at his father-in-law, his heart trembled, and he did not answer immediately.
Tsuchida Gozen sighed and said.
"The letter has already arrived in my hands, what? You still want to hide it from me?"
Mr. Nong narrowed his eyes slightly and bowed.
"The husbands of Odaisho Yingwu and Owari Mino's samurai family were all amazed by the fact that such a peerless figure could appear among their sons.
I thought that the Spring Tea Party of the Brotherhood would be held within a few days, so I wrote a post to invite the Royal Society to participate, so that everyone could have a chance to see it."
Tsuchida Gozen took a deep breath and said.
"If that's the case, why do you want to hide it from me?"
"I don't mean to hide this. It's just that you have been busy worshiping Buddha these past few days and I haven't found a chance to mention this to you yet."
Noun-kun was speechless for a moment, and was still thinking about how to excuse her, but Tsuchida Gozen stretched out his hand to stop her from continuing to speak.
Tsuchida Gozen said sternly.
"Don't think I don't know your little thoughts! You and your good husbands are secretly discussing something. Do you really think I don't know?
Don't you have any doubts about how the letter got into my hands? That's because others don't want to be killed by your stupidity!
Do you still remember the clean-up of the inner courtyard last time? When our personal attendant was beheaded and his body was thrown away, you didn't have the slightest bit of vigilance?
I know Nobunaga's temperament, and so do you. There will be no next time, no more.
If the warning to kill all the personal servants last time was ineffective, she would kill all the servants in the entire inner courtyard next time.
She doesn’t have that much patience to wait for us to wake up, she will use more blood to remind us to pay attention to our propriety, she can do it!”
Nong Jun trembled all over, her face suddenly turned ferocious, and she shouted.
"I didn't want to do anything! I didn't!
I'm just not willing to give in. I just want to see with my own eyes what that vixen who is so obsessed with my wife refuses to have sex with me looks like!
I want to use my eyes to take a closer look at the man who stole my wife's heart. What an alluring and charming look he has!
What's wrong with me! What's wrong with me!"
As Nong Jun talked, he covered his face and cried, lying on the ground.
In front of Tsuchida, the emperor was livid and silent. To say that Oda Nobunaga was unwilling to sleep with Nobunaga and that the Oda family had no heirs, he was also complaining.
But his mood has changed a lot in recent years, and he is no longer willing to embarrass Oda Nobunaga's daughter, and continues to remain indifferent.
After Oda Nobuyuki's death, Oda Nobunaga developed and expanded the family business and was praised by the Oda family.
The last time Tsuchida Gozen spoke for Nobun-kun, although all the personal servants were killed, Oda Nobunaga still gave his father face and arranged the way out for Oda Xinbao and Oda Nobsumi.
His young daughter Oda Nobunaga now serves as Oda Nobunaga's samurai warrior, and the deceased Nobunaga's daughter Oda Nobsumi serves in Oda Nobunaga's nickname, and both have their own futures.
Even if Tsuchida Gozen considered the future of his daughter and granddaughter, he was unwilling to have any more trouble with Oda Nobunaga. Therefore, he had no choice but to wrong his son-in-law Nobunaga.
He looked solemn and said.
"The important affairs of the family and the country are not something that you and my son's family can get involved in. The reason why Odai came to Gifu City is for the Oda family's important affairs in Kamikaze.
You dare to disturb the purity of the imperial palace with the chores of the Brotherhood, you really don't know the importance of it."
Mr. Nong raised his head and said harshly.
"The fraternity is a social gathering for husbands of the Wu family to communicate. Is the imperial office a man? Why can't I invite you?"
When Tsuchida Gozen saw that he dared to talk back, he laughed angrily.
"Okay, okay, now that you can't listen to my advice, I won't bother to care about you.
But please remember, I am in charge of the Mino Owari Brotherhood, it is not your turn to make the decision here!
If you have the ability, in the future, you can follow your wife to Luo to start a big business, and go to Kyoto to show off your power. Let the husbands of the martial arts family there congratulate you on your ascension, and ask you to be the leader of the brotherhood!
But now, in Gifu City, I still have the final say! Do you understand?"
When Mr. Nong saw that his father-in-law was angry, he realized that he was in a hurry and spoke to Meng Lang.
He kowtowed to the ground and said.
"I'm very sorry. I was too excited and lost my sense of control. Please forgive me!"
Tsuchida Gozen rubbed his eyebrows and sighed. He had no objection to this son-in-law. Oda Nobunaga was indeed a bastard daughter.
But the problem is, who can do anything to get the bastard daughter of Oda Nobunaga? She has no choice but to find a soft persimmon and force the son-in-law Saito Nobunaga to be more peaceful.
Tsuchida Gozen calmed down and said softly.
"Nongjun, that's how we men are. Our wife is our god, no matter whether she is right or wrong, we have to follow her and accept her.
Nobunaga is now a famous man worth millions of stones, and his future is even brighter after going to Luo.
As her husband, you have great wealth falling from the sky and falling on your head. Good times are still to come, you must know how to cherish them.
Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, that man from the Wu family who is a rare warrior in Odaisho should not be treated as an ordinary husband. If you don't understand, you will be in trouble in the future.
A man must be virtuous and know how to be patient. Turning a blind eye and turning a blind eye is the way to be a husband."
Nongjun bit her lower lip and listened to her father-in-law's teachings, but her heart was not at peace.
Ichi-kun's temperament is like that of Oda Nobunaga, that is, he can't tolerate sand in his eyes. If Nobo-kun can be friends with her, of course he has the same temperament and thinks highly of himself.
When Nobun-kun got married, his mother Saito Douzan gave him a short sword. If Oda Nobunaga didn't treat him well, he would stab Nobunaga to death.
On the night of the wedding, Nobunaga was able to take out a short sword and joke with Oda Nobunaga, daring to give a hint.
But now that the Saito family of Mino has been wiped out and the Oda family is at its peak, what confidence does Mino have to take out the short sword again and repeat the preface?
Not all men from any family are as powerful as Shiba Yiyin, who can go into battle and drink tea. Nongjun is just an ordinary man from the martial arts family, and his fate is closely related to the rise and fall of the family.
At this time, although Mr. Nong knew in his heart that his father-in-law Tsuchida was partial, he was in trouble and could not tell him.
The pain was so deep that he really hoped that he could still have a relative to support him, so that he would not have no place to rely on.
Even if it is the child of Saito Yoshiryu's rebellious sister, or the cousins of the Akechi family who exterminated the family and fled, it would be better if one of them is left behind.
Nong Junxin sighed, at least he could help him, a helpless married man.
———
In the inner courtyard of Gifu Castle, Tsuchida Gozen was teaching his son-in-law to uphold the ways of a husband and to be a good housekeeper with three obediences and four virtues.
Not far away from them, the Lord Keeper, Yoshigan Shiba, was drinking tea and chatting with Oda Nobunaga in the tea room.
After Maeda Toshiie opened the situation for the two of them, he went back to Junjo County to mobilize the army and act as the main military force of the Shiba family in Shangluo.
The relationship between the two masters, who announced to the world that they would join hands with Luo, has become harmonious. At least, Yoshigami Shiba dared to come to Oda Nobunaga's residence as a guest, and he was not afraid of being kidnapped and used as a prostitute by her.
After the tea master finished his demonstration, he served the tea and bowed to leave. Shiba Yiyin picked up the tea soup, took a sip and asked.
"I heard that His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki has already set off on his journey?"
Oda Nobunaga nodded, took a few mouthfuls of tea soup, and then lost interest.
Neither of them could get used to the astringent taste of matcha tea powder. Yoshigan still pretended to be cultured, but Oda Nobunaga had no interest in pretending.
she said.
“If Ashikaga Yoshiaki doesn’t come, where else can he go?
Without you and me to help her, she will have strength but not strength, and status but not status. We will give her a fortune, but will we still allow her to act pretentious?
It is said that Asai Nagamasa changed his previous attentiveness and did not even send her as a gift. Lord Kenshin's prestige in recent times is well-deserved."
Yoshigan Shiba frowned slightly, Oda Nobunaga's undisguised contempt for Ashikaga Yoshiaki made him very uneasy.
Although he had known for a long time that Nobunaga's ambition had been engraved on the Tenkabumu Seal, her desire to become a member of the world was unbearable.
But seeing her contemptuous attitude toward the shogunate with his own eyes still made Shiba Yigen feel cold in his heart.
No matter how depressed Ashikaga Yoshiaki is, he is still the candidate chosen by Yoshihiro Shiba and Nobunaga Oda to be the next Ashikaga shogun. The samurai family values etiquette, and they don't like him in their hearts, and they won't show it on their faces.
Oda Nobunaga's arrogance was beyond Yoshigan's expectations. As for Asai Nagamasa's change of attitude, Yoshigan was not surprised.
Even if Asai is a political criminal, the Asai retainers will not tolerate her messing around.
They were all old comrades who squatted in the same trench with Yiyin, watching Yiyin kill almost all the invincible opponents. They were not stupid. Before the situation was clear, who would be willing to offend Yiyin by being the first one.
After Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, he coughed lightly. The tea powder aggravated his throat and made him really uncomfortable.
She shouted to one of the attendants.
"Give me a glass of water! Hurry up!"
The young man was so flustered by her yelling that he almost overturned his tea cup, making Oda Nobunaga curse in anger.
Yoshigan looked at this little girl and saw that her features were somewhat similar to Oda Nobunaga, and said strangely.
"This little surname looks familiar."
Oda Nobunaga chuckled and said.
"Did you see it? This is Nobuyuki's child, Oda Nobuyuki. My old father favored Nobuyuki all his life, but he ignored me.
Now, for the sake of this granddaughter, she is begging me in a low voice. As a last resort, I will take her as a nickname and protect her from a share of wealth in the future."
Oda Nobunaga complained in words, but he couldn't hide the pride between his eyebrows.
Yiyin shook her head secretly, this guy's mind was abnormal. She actually felt that her old father was willing to bow his head and that Xing Xing's child was a bull for her. She was very proud and filled with the pleasure of conquest.
This temperament is extremely bad, and he is also extremely confident. This person will die of arrogance sooner or later.
Yoshigan looked at Oda Nobuyuki and couldn't help but shake his head when he remembered the scene where Oda Nobunaga was dressed in red and chopped off her mother Oda Nobuyuki's head with a knife.
Why does he care about the Oda family? Oda Nobunaga loves him to death.
Yiyin sighed.
"More than three years have passed, and before I know it, the children have grown up."
Oda Nobunaga looked at Yoshiyin, his expression softened subtly, and he sighed.
"Yes, it's been three years."
Yiyin smiled and said.
"What about you? Nobuyuki's children are already so old. You should have children in these years, right? Can you let me see them?"
Oda Nobunaga's face froze. If anyone else mentioned this, she would definitely be furious, thinking that he was referring to Sang and Huai.
But when she saw Yiyin looking at her with a sincere face, she was speechless and speechless. Finally, she pointed to a person with a nickname next to her and changed the subject.
"You've seen Xin Xing's child. Then look at this child. Who does he look like?"
Yoshigan didn't think too much and looked along Oda Nobunaga's fingers. The man with that surname could hold Nobunaga's sword, so he must be a trusted person.
He examined it carefully, and finally saw a clue, and said.
"There are some shadows of Sen Kecheng in these facial features. Could it be that he is her child?"
Oda Nobunaga clapped his hands and praised.
"Mr. Qianxin has a good eye."
Yiyin nodded slightly.
The sword is a murderous weapon. He is with her day and night. A few steps indoors is enough to take the life of Oda Nobunaga. The man who can hold the sword for her must be someone she trusts very much.
If it was Sen Kecheng's child, this would make sense.
Mori Katsunari and Kawajiri Hidetaka were the reserve generals left by Oda Nobunaga's mother to her, and they both came from the Mino samurai family.
They were the main force when quelling Oda Nobunaga's rebellion. Mori Katsunari followed Oda Nobunaga over the years and seemed to be doing well.
Just when Yoshigami was justifying his theory in his mind, Oda Nobunaga suddenly pulled the sword-wielding girl to his side, pinched her cheek, and spoke affectionately.
"Her name is Ranmaru Mori."
Yoshigine was stunned, and suddenly remembered Aichi Juami who was stabbed to death by Maeda Toshiie. It turned out that this was Oda Nobunaga's new partner, no wonder he trusted him so much.
His eyes were a little weird, and he was looking at the two of them. When he asked about his son just now, Oda Nobunaga avoided talking about it, what a guy!
Thinking of Takeda Harunobu and Kosaka Masanobu, Yoshigage touched his nose. It seemed that they had the same surname as their nickname, which was quite common in the Wu family, but he was the one making the fuss.
He then thought of his two close confidants, Kamao Clan and Ii Naomasa, and quickly shook his head to stop thinking.
Oda Nobunaga didn't know that changing the topic and not wanting to mention the consequences of the affair between men and women would cause Yoshigan to misunderstand.
If she knew what Yiyin was thinking at this time, she would definitely explode on the spot and drink another kind of tea with Yiyin.
Has Oda Nobunaga not wanted men all these years? No man in the world is as good as Shiba Yoshigan’s cup of tea!
You know the taste when you eat the marrow. It tastes as sweet as glutinous rice, but it is hard to calm your mind and you cannot find it.
