On the afternoon of December 30, all the important retainers of the Oda family came to the castle tower in Qingzhou City to celebrate the arrival of the eighth year of Eonglu. However, after all, they were not ordinary people, and their thoughts were not that simple. Many of them
People are always fighting each other even at banquets.
However, there will always be a few simple-minded fools who celebrate the festival like the common people celebrate the New Year.
"Come on, brothers! You must not come back drunk today!" Maeda Toshiie held the wine glass in his hand high, gestured to the brothers around him, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Come on, come on, am I afraid of you?" Ikeda Hengxing unceremoniously grabbed a wine bottle from the table and poured a few sips into his own mouth, "I won't be able to pour a thousand glasses of Owari."
Hengxing! Compared with drinking, I’m not afraid of anyone!”
"Okay, okay, you two should be more careful." Niwa Nagahide looked at the two energetic juniors and reminded him in a dumbfounded voice, "Your wife is still here, can't you be more careful?"
At this banquet, all the samurai brought their families to the banquet. At this moment, the female family members of the Maeda Toshi family were sitting around in the distance, watching their husbands misbehaving there, and at the same time they were in full swing.
What to discuss.
"Why are you paying attention? Why do these girls care about us?" Yoshiyuki Sawaki was obviously drunk. He blushed and shouted loudly. He patted Maeda Toshiie on the shoulder and said excitedly: "Don't you think so?
elder brother?"
However, to Sawaki Yoshiyuki's surprise, the usually heroic Maeda Toshiie just smiled awkwardly at this moment. Sawaki Yoshiyuki was stunned for a moment, looked over to the female family members, and suddenly saw his sister-in-law, Mrs. Osomatsu.
He was staring at Maeda Toshiie's back with sinister eyes - no wonder he was sweating profusely.
"What, A-Inu! You're afraid of your henpecks!" Of course Ikeda Hengxing would not let go of this good opportunity to ridicule Maeda Toshiie, and laughed loudly: "Why do you have the same moral character as that kid from Momiji?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qiuping's laughter came to mind behind him.
"It is not the behavior of a gentleman to talk about someone's right and wrong behind their back, let alone our Owari King?"
"You kid, why are you here so late?" Ikeda Hengxing turned around with a smile, but was stunned for a moment.
Also stunned with him were several brothers who had gathered there to drink together.
Of course they were not stunned because of seeing Yu Qiuping, but because of the beautiful woman holding Yu Qiuping's arm.
Imagawa Kaede has never been fond of makeup on weekdays, and usually sees people without makeup - but this makes Yu Qiuping very regretful, unable to fulfill his dream of dressing up his wife. This time, he has a legitimate reason to attend the New Year's Eve dinner.
Yu Qiuping, and Imagawa Kaede worked hard all morning, and finally got the opportunity to dress Imagawa Kaede.
Imagawa Kaede wore a light red kimono today, dotted with many dark red maple leaf patterns. A light powder was applied to her fair cheeks, but her blush due to the attention of everyone was more intoxicating than rouge. Her seductive lips
It is painted with vermilion, which is delicate and exciting. And after a brief outline of the smoke-like water eyes, it has a breathtaking charm. The black and smooth satin-like long hair is tied up in a complicated and elegant way.
The style added a lot to her peerless appearance. Even the kimono that least highlighted her figure was still unable to conceal her curvy and graceful curves.
Such an elegant and charming young woman, her beauty is like a fairy descending to earth, making people unable to take their eyes away.
"I just told you, you will definitely look better after putting on makeup." Yu Qiuping whispered into Imagawa Feng's ear, watching with satisfaction as the roots of her ears gradually turned red due to his breathing.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you deceitful liar." Although there was a hint of joy in Imagawa Feng's brows, he insisted on arguing.
"Look, there are so many big men, you are dumbfounded." Yu Qiuping teased softly, took his hand out of Imagawa Kaede's arm, and hugged her, "I will keep a close eye on you from now on."
Click on it!”
Imagawa Kaede's face turned even redder, and she pinched Yu Qiuping's waist with her small hands, causing the latter's expression to distort in pain.
"After the city princess got married, the title of Owari's most beautiful woman will no longer be controversial." After Ikoma came back to his senses, he couldn't help but admired: "Even Mrs. Yoshino
I'm afraid Mrs. He Guidi's beauty is not as good as Mrs. Yuqiu's."
Ikoma's compliment immediately aroused the jeers of several other people. Even though Imagawa Kaede blushed with embarrassment, she still bowed and thanked him gracefully.
"Okay, adults, please stop making fun of us women." The considerate Ning Ning noticed Imagawa Kaede's embarrassment, walked out of the crowd, took Imagawa Kaede's hand, and headed towards the side where the women gathered.
He walked over and said, "We women won't disturb you adults when they discuss important matters."
·
"How have you been spending the past six months?" After Yu Qiuping sat down, he started chatting with a few old brothers.
"It's great!" Ikeda Hengxing was the first to shout excitedly, "I ran to Inuyama. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I no longer have to stay under the eyes of the lord all day long! You can do whatever you want.
What a waste!"
"Hengxing." After hearing this, Mori Kecheng, who was sitting at the far end, whispered with some dissatisfaction: "Inushan is an important defense area in the Northeast, how can it be such a child's play?"
"Okay, okay, everything Mori-senpai said is right." Ikeda Hengxing smiled and said carelessly, "I just have fun when I have nothing to do. I don't neglect my defense duties on weekdays!"
"Owari King, you're so arrogant!" Toshiie Maeda saw Ikeda Tsuneaki's playful face and became very angry. "You'd be so happy to be outside! People like us stay by our master's side every day.
Yes, life is really tiring!”
"That's right, it's not like you don't know about my master's temper!" Sawaki Yoshiyuki also complained, "When it's good, it's good for nothing. Even if you're late for duty, it's no big deal. But what if you touch him one day?"
Your brows and wrinkles on your clothes will make you scold you to death!"
Yu Qiuping was listening to Sawaki Yoshiyuki's complaints when he suddenly coughed violently.
"Boy, why are you coughing?" Toshiie Maeda raised his neck and drank a glass of wine, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "You are a guy who lets you go as soon as you come here! You have never realized how terrifying the master is!"
This time, not only Yu Qiupei, but also Niwa Nagahide and Naomasa Nao who was sitting aside started coughing.
"Niwa-sama, Nai-sama! Why are you coughing too!" Yoshiyuki Sawaki saw that even Niwa Nagahide and Naomasa Naomasa had made the same move as Yu Qiupei, "We are all people who follow the lord all year round, lord.
Don't you two have any idea about your temper?"
"What! Those two adults are always smart and have already touched my lord's hair!" Maeda Toshiie snorted in displeasure, "It's a pain to sit and talk! My lord only scolded them a few times a year, and then he scolded me.
several times?"
After Maeda Toshiie said these words, Amakihei, Niwa Nagahide and others were completely silent, and even stopped coughing. Maeda Toshiie and Sawaki Yoshiyuki looked at everyone's strange silence and were at a loss.
Looking at each other.
"It's not without reason that you two were scolded." Yu Qiuping held his forehead deeply, dumbfounded, "Are you happy about this slap on your skin?"
After hearing this, Maeda Toshiie and Sawaki Yoshiyuki seemed to suddenly react to something. The two people who were looking at each other turned around together - and saw Oda Nobunaga, dressed in black, standing behind them at some point.
The veins on his forehead popped out, and his face was full of anger. It was obvious that he had listened to all the conversations between the two people just now.
"Master...Master, Master...!" Maeda Toshiie was so frightened that he could not speak clearly, and Sawaki Yoshiyuki was also tongue-tied, unable to say a word.
The next moment, Oda Nobunaga raised his hands and gave each of the two people a hard blow on their heads!
"Anu, Touhachi! You two brats!" Oda Nobunaga roared angrily, "You are very dissatisfied with Yu, right? You think Yu has a very bad temper, right? Don't eat dinner, leave it all to Yu.
Clean the toilet!"
After Maeda Toshiie and Sawaki Yoshiyuki fled, Oda Nobunaga angrily walked to the main seat, and tonight's New Year's Eve dinner was held. However, because the two troubled brothers provoked Oda Nobunaga
It was so annoying that the latter kept a straight face during the dinner. After going through the process once, he walked away. Lin Xiuzhen had no choice but to step out and host the rest of the dinner for him.
Every time the New Year's Eve dinner comes, Yu Qiuping always inexplicably misses the dinner at Imagawa's house. Speaking of which, he only attended it three times in total, but he has stayed at Oda's house for five years.&1t;b
r
I still remember when I first attended the kind of elegant dinner party that Imagawa Yoshimoto liked. Everyone had to dress weirdly and put on uncomfortable heavy makeup. Yu Qiuping couldn't even say he liked the taste of those tea cakes. But as time went by
After a while, he actually missed the past more and more, and that kind of inexplicable sadness made Yu Qiuping feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Perhaps, what I am thinking about is not the tea party, but the group of people attending the tea party?
His Majesty the Governor of the Household, who is chic and noble, and treats me with great kindness; His Majesty Sena, who is always generous and steady, just like my biological father; and that funny eldest brother, Asahina Taehyung, who is mature even though he is only a few years older than him.
Lots of Asahina Taicho...and lots and lots of people.
At that time, I was still so simple and kind, and decided to do my little bit to alleviate the suffering of the people around the world and end the tragedy of the cycle of chaos.
Today, I have changed a long time ago. After experiencing the washing of troubled times, I have become what I once hated.
Yu Qiuping's eyes turned slightly red as he thought about it.
Suddenly, a soft little hand slipped into his somewhat cold hand, warming his palm. Yu Qiuping turned his head in surprise, and now Chuan Feng was looking sideways, smiling sweetly at him.
