Yuigahama Yui was stunned. The hand that was about to put clothes on Hanzawa Naoyi froze in mid-air, with a weak look on her face, and tears seemed to be already welling up in her eyes.
Hanzawa Naoyi had a headache. She was a soft-spoken person, and she couldn't stand the stubborn temperament of Yuigahama Yui.
"I really can't accept it!"
Yuigahama Yui pursed her lips.
"Why? Is there something I didn't do well enough?"
Hanzawa Naoyi quickly shook his head.
"No, I am very grateful for the care you have taken for me this year.
But this winter coat is too expensive. I cannot accept such a gift. Please forgive me, Yuigahama-hime."
Yuigahama Yui put down her hands dejectedly and sighed.
"I thought we were already friends, so we didn't have to worry about it so carefully."
Hanzawa Naoyoshi smiled.
"Of course we are friends, but even if we are friends, such a gift is too luxurious.
You have been very kind to me. Look at the newly-pasted paper door, the high-quality charcoal in the brazier, and there is no choking smoke at all.
I have received many favors from you, and I can no longer take your things."
Yuigahama Yui forced a smile.
"Actually, you helped me more. If you hadn't been by my side, I really don't know how I would have gotten through this year.
My health has not been good since I gave birth to Xiaotuanzi, and I have been delayed in all the work I should do. I am really ashamed of myself."
Hanzawa Naoyoshi smiled.
"Because of this, I can live in your house with peace of mind, eat your food and drink your food. We are called helping each other, and our relationship is clear."
Yuigahama lowered his head and said dejectedly.
"But I don't want to be separated from you, I already regard you as my best friend.
You know me, I have no abilities, people outside look down on me, and no one wants to get close to me.
I am really grateful to you for helping me sincerely and without asking for anything in return. You and I are honest with each other. I have regarded you as my best friend in this life."
Hanzawa Naoyi paused for a moment, his face became softer, and he said.
"Of course we are best friends."
Yuigahama Yui pouted.
"In this case, you are still clearly distinguishing from me, how can you be considered your best friend?"
Hanzawa Naoyi reluctantly picked up the winter coat and put it on himself to try out the length and fit.
"Okay, okay, I'll just take it. Anyway, you are a rich man and you don't lack this little money. I'll just treat it as robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
Yuigahama chuckled.
"What kind of rich man would you say to me when you take my winter coat? Really...how is it? Does it fit?"
Hansawa Naoyoshi put on the winter coat, and it fit him perfectly. It could be seen that this winter coat was indeed customized by Yui Ubihama according to his figure carefully, which made his heart warmer.
Although Yuigahama Yui is weak, she has a good nature and treats people sincerely. She lacks friends because of her weakness, and regards Hanzawa Naoyoshi as a close friend.
What about Hanzawa Naoyi? He is upright and unwilling to mix with the world. He is also an alien in the eyes of outsiders. Naturally, he has few friends.
This is the reason why Hanzawa Naoyoshi is willing to get close to Yuigahama Yui. Both of them are in a state where I have very few friends, so I will naturally cherish them more if I make true friends.
Hanzawa Naoyi bent his arms and smiled.
"It fits very well, thank you.
By the way, have you understood the form I left for you? While I'm still here these days, if you have anything you don't understand, ask immediately so I can explain it to you."
Yuigahama Yui nodded.
"I figured it out a long time ago. You taught me step by step so many times. I'm not really stupid.
Besides, even if there is something you don’t understand, just put it aside for now and it won’t be too late to ask you again when you come back.”
After Hanzawa Naoyi finished trying it on, he paused while taking off his winter clothes and said.
"When I leave, it can take anywhere from a year and a half to two or three years. How long are you going to put it aside? Besides, what if... I can't come back this time?"
Yuigahama Yui's smile froze, looking at Hanzawa Naoyi who was speechless for a while, and then murmured a question after a while.
"Is it dangerous for you to go this time? But I remember that the saint sent you to do things... Who in the land of Kanto dares to disobey the saint and kill you?"
Hanzawa Naoyoshi sighed.
"We are friends, I don't want to lie to you.
The sage's orders are just appearances, Ii Naomasa-sama has another important task entrusted to me, so I will take some risks and offend some people."
Yuigahama Yui asked again quietly.
"So you will be assassinated?"
Hanzawa Naoyoshi smiled.
"After all, I was sent to Guandong by a saint. Who dares to assassinate me?
It's just that most of those people are powerful, and the saint will also find it difficult to balance the situation.
I am just a little person. If the big guys really want to harm me, they can crush me to death with just one finger.
I'm just afraid that in the end, after everything I want to do is done, my life will be in danger because of the sin of disobedience."
Yuigahama Yui was silent for a while, then took a deep breath.
"Yes, when a saint sits on that high position, many things are actually very difficult for him."
Hansawa Naoyoshi glanced at Yuigahama Yui, and felt that her tone was a little less respectful, a little more melancholy, and even a little bit pampering.
Do you care for the saint? Just because of this bully in front of you who just admits his mistake and sheds tears when he is bullied?
Hanzawa Naoyoshi couldn't help but be amused by his own association. Yuigahama glanced at her curiously and asked.
"What's wrong?"
Hanzawa Naoyoshi shook his head.
"It's nothing. I just feel that you are close to the saint. You are worthy of being the first generation of Tongxinzhong. Your background is so strong that a retainer like me, who is new to Sibo's establishment, would envy you."
Hanzawa Naoyoshi made a casual joke, the speaker was unintentional, but Yuigahama Yui was the listener with heart. She couldn't help but blush on her face and looked at the little dumpling rolling around in boredom.
Because her biological mother and godmother were chatting, neither of them paid attention to her. The child was losing his temper and kept rolling around trying to attract the attention of the two elders.
Seeing Yuigahama Yui's eyes finally turning to him, Xiaotuanzi seemed to have succeeded and was so happy that he clapped his hands and wanted to hug her.
Yuigahama Yui picked up the child with a doting look on her face, sat down opposite Naoyoshi Hanzawa, and remained silent.
Hanzawa Naoyi thought that the saint looked at him differently because he was from the same group of people and had that kind of kindness and old love.
But Yuigahama Yui knew in her heart that the reason why the saint favored her so much was actually the little dumpling in her arms.
To be honest, Yuigahama Yui was still in a daze until now.
Back then, she had sex after drinking, and she obviously did something wrong, but for some reason, the saint not only didn't punish her, but he was so tolerant and kind to her.
How did Yuigahama Yui know that she had done nothing wrong back then, and that there was someone else who had sex after drinking, that sanctimonious saint?
Because of the halo of special effects in her career, Yuigahama Yui's consciousness was distorted, thinking that she had done something to the saint, but in fact it was the saint who did something to her that night.
Afterwards, Yuigahama Yui's cowardice, fear, and grievance were all noticed by Shiba Yoshigan.
How could that man with a patriarchal outlook not feel guilty in his heart? How could he allow his wife and children to be bullied by outsiders?
Therefore, Ishida Mitsunari's small report caused a big explosion. After knowing that he still had a child in the world, Shiba Yoshigan did not hesitate to give Ishida Mitsunari a good beating.
Yuigahama Yui is different from other women in Shiba Yoshigan. She has no ability and a weak temper. She is more similar to the girl in Yoshigan's previous life, but she is a little too beautiful.
The other daughters have tigress-like mothers who help them out, and the reputation of the family is intimidating, who dares to bully them?
This made Yoshigashi Shiba pay special attention to the little dumplings of the Yuigahama family. I have no ability, so I can only ask my father to take more care of them.
The various subsidies Yuigahama Yui enjoys are so luxurious that even the great names of the samurai family are stunned.
She has been on sick leave for several years and has been absent from work from time to time, but Tongxin Secretariat continues to acquiesce in allowing her to enjoy benefits. Do you really think that the Sibo family has no KPIs? Do you really think that Tongxin Secretariat does not audit and keep accounts?
But if the saint doesn't speak, others can't stop even if they want to. No one is willing to make the saint dissatisfied over such a trivial matter. There is no need.
Sibo Yiyin said as early as when the Sibo Zhong Fund was established that the Sibo family should allow the existence of lazy mothers. The ancestors worked hard to build the family business, not to allow the younger generations to continue to suffer.
If all generations are miserable, then what is the point of parents working hard for their children? Just so that their children can live as hard a life as themselves in the future?
This makes no sense!
Outsiders always think that Yoshigan Shiba pulled out Yuigahama Yui to set an example, showing the tolerance and kindness of the Shiba family towards meritorious ministers.
Only Yuigahama Yui knew in her heart that those welfare benefits were the living expenses given by Xiaotuanzi's father to the children.
Yuigahama Yui was also very ashamed of this.
Women have no ability and can only rely on the father of their children to protect their children's lives. In the world of female supremacy, this is called eating soft rice, and Warrior Ji despises it.
Originally, Yuigahama Yui was very hesitant about whether to hide Xiaoduanzi's life experience for the rest of her life or how to solve it.
From the moment Yoshigan Shiba came to her door, Yuigahama Yui knew that this matter was beyond her control, and she could only follow the sage's arrangements.
What Yuigahama Yui has to do is to shut up silently and raise the child well before the saint arranges the future of Xiaotuanzi.
But today, Yuigahama Yui, who had always been submissive, suddenly had some other ideas. She subconsciously looked at Naoyoshi Hanzawa who didn't know the truth.
This Samurai Ji who appeared by his side and silently helped him when he gave birth to a child, suffered from postpartum depression, and reached the lowest point in his work and life, is about to go to Kanto.
Yuigahama Yui actually doesn't understand Hanzawa Naoyoshi's persistence. She doesn't know why Hanzawa Naoyoshi is so persistent and wants to spend everything he has for Ii Naomasa's mission.
Is there anything more important in this world than your own life?
Yuigahama Yui doesn't understand the justice in Hanzawa Naoyi's heart, but Yuigahama Yui knows that she can't just watch her best friend die.
Maybe the cowardly Yuigahama Yui doesn't have the strength to help Hanzawa Naoyoshi, but Xiaotuanzi...
Yuigahama Yui swallowed. If she did this, would it cause trouble to the saint? Would it embarrass the saint?
Hanzawa Naoyoshi looked at Yuigahama Yui, who had been silent for a long time. The little dumpling in her arms was obviously annoyed by her mother, and was making faces at Hanzawa Naoyoshi opposite.
Hanzawa Naoyi smiled and stretched out his finger to poke Xiaoduanzi's little cheek. The soft baby fat felt so good.
Xiaotuanzi was held by his mother, and his little hands couldn't push Naoyi Hanzawa, so he could only be poked passively, unable to fight back, and he screamed in anger.
Yuigahama Yui was brought back to her senses by the child's shout. Seeing Hanzawa Naoyoshi's childish behavior, she was so angry and funny that she simply let go.
The little dumpling who had just been let go rushed towards Hanze Naoyi with all his teeth and claws, and was hugged by Banze Naoyi again. The big one and the little one were playful and having fun.
Seeing the two of them being so harmonious and close, Yuigahama Yui finally made up her mind.
Xiaotuanzi is the child of a saint and a descendant of Spokane. Her future is destined to be extraordinary.
Yuigahama Yui has no ability, low family status, and few relatives and friends, so she can't help her daughter at all.
Hanzawa Naoyoshi is wise and intelligent. She is his best friend and has a close relationship with Xiaotuanzi. She is the warrior Ji that Xiaotuanzi can rely on in the future, so she must not let anything happen to her in Kanto.
Yuigahama Yui took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"Hanzawa-hime, I have a heartfelt request."
Hanzawa Naoyi locked the naughty child tightly, looked at Yuigahama Yui, and smiled.
"you say."
Yuigahama Yui took half a step back, kowtowed to the ground and begged.
"I would like to ask you to be Xiaotuanzi's successor. This is my lifelong request. Please agree to it!"
Hanzawa Naoyi was stunned, then he let go, and the little dumpling got out like a loach. He wanted to return to his mother's arms, but found his mother kneeling on the ground, so he pulled up his mother's sleeves in confusion.
"mom, Mom, Mom.."
Hanzawa Naoyi was silent for a moment and then asked.
"Is this important to you?"
Yuigahama Yui looked up at Hanzawa Naoyoshi and made a decisive decision.
"This is very important to me, and it is also very important to you."
Hanzawa Naoyi glanced at Xiaotuanzi and sighed.
"You have to think carefully, I am going to Kanto soon, and I may never come back.
It's not a wise move for you to ask me to be the backbone of Xiaotuanzi at this time. You should at least wait until I come back."
Hindsight is common in island countries, but it plays a very important role.
The so-called hindsight person is actually a guardian, a person who supervises and guides immature juniors.
In the politics of island countries, hindsight is an ancient system.
The Emperor was immature, and the Fujiwara family, as relatives, served as Kanbai, acting as a hindsight, and governing for the Emperor, which was called regent politics.
The emperor wanted to regain power, so he abdicated and became the emperor. Later, when he saw his identity, he would guide the younger emperor who succeeded him to govern, which is called yuanzheng.
In the Kamakura shogunate, the former Hojo family assisted the shogunate and acted as a post-war official, and was called the Hojo ruler.
When he arrived at the Ashikaga Shogunate, the old general abdicated and guided the new general, taking on the post of post, and was also called the Great Imperial Palace.
In the final analysis, the secretariat, the government, the governing body, and the royal palace are all variants of the hindsight system, ways of controlling central power.
