Starting from Yueshui City, the 30,000 people of the Northern Route Army left the main force and advanced alone towards Mingyan in the north - that is the entrance to the canyon in the Liujia Mountains. In order to facilitate the command, Yu Qiuping personally boarded a place northwest of Mingyan
We were on a high ground to look at the terrain, and happened to bump into Tokugawa Nobuyasu who was also there to look at the terrain.
"Uncle?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu immediately rode his horse excitedly after seeing Yu Qiuping. He ran to the front and back of Yu Qiuping, got off his horse and saluted Yu Qiu, "Long time no see! Uncle, how are you these days?"
Tokugawa Nobuyasu was a straightforward samurai, and he didn't like to delve into those mental tricks on weekdays. He seemed to have no idea about the conflict between Yu Qiupei and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and he still greeted Yu Qiupei warmly as usual.
"Sanlang is exempt from the gift. I am living well. How is Sanlang?" Yu Qiuping also smiled and jumped off the horse, helped Tokugawa Nobuyasu up, and patted the dust on his shoulders, "How did you do it? You messed up the clothes and armor."
Does it have to be so dirty?”
"I tripped over a stone just now and fell." Tokugawa Nobuyasu shook his shoulders nonchalantly, and then looked at Yu Qiuping with excited eyes: "Is uncle also here for a lookout?"
"Yes, let's take a look at the road ahead." Yu Qiuping nodded, "What's wrong?"
"Hehe!" Tokugawa Nobuyasu excitedly pumped his fist after hearing this, and proudly showed off to the guards behind him, "Look! His Majesty Momiji also chose this hilltop! You still have to pull me away?
Another hilltop, now you understand!"
"Hahahaha..." Yu Qiuping figured out that Tokugawa Nobuyasu was fighting with some guards.
"By the way, Sanlang, why did you come with your father on the expedition?" Yu Qiuping suddenly became curious and asked, "Usually when my father goes on an expedition, don't you always stay in the territory? This time you came with me, who will be in charge?
Three rivers, Yuanjiang?"
"Sakai-sama is staying behind this time." Tokugawa Nobuyasu unsuspectingly explained to Yu Qiupei, "My father said that he would bring me to see Oda Grand Hall this time, in order to prove to Oda Grand Hall that the Tokugawa family
We have no ulterior motives, just in case he in the main hall is suspicious of us."
"Ah..." Yu Qiuping scratched his head a little troubled after hearing this. This child really couldn't hold back his words.
"And it's fun to run out. It's better than being angry at home." When Tokugawa Nobuyasu said this, he snorted a little angrily, raised his riding crop with his right hand, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"What happened at home?" Yu Qiuping asked in surprise.
"Hey, this woman has long hair and short knowledge." Tokugawa Nobuyasu disdainfully complained to Yu Qiuping, "Zhoujing is the Five Virtues Princess of Oda Hall. She must have been pampered since she was a child. She is very pampered and has no pain at all.
I can’t eat, and I can’t stand even a little bit of fatigue. Mikawa is not as prosperous as Owari, so how can we live a hard life? My mother is still the princess of the Imagawa family, and I’m not necessarily as good at putting on airs as she is.”
"Well, after all, she is the princess of the master's family..." Yu Qiuping smiled and explained Tokugawa Nobuyasu, "It is inevitable to have a little temper when you are pampered."
"What a small temper! That temper is really uncomfortable!" Tokugawa Nobuyasu saw the rain and Qiupei explained to Oda Gotoku, and couldn't help shouting loudly, "Whenever something small doesn't go well, such as when I came back from hunting that day
It was over, and the trouble started immediately! She just stood there with a straight face, not saying a word to you, and not eating. I asked her 'what's wrong', and she said 'it's okay'. I said 'are you angry'
, she said 'No'. I said 'Then you can eat', and she said 'No'. I said 'Then I will go and eat by myself', and she said 'You go ahead'. She said so herself! She
She said she wanted me to go! But as soon as I went to eat, she came over to make a fuss, saying that I didn’t take her with me to eat, and ignored her, and she didn’t coax her when she was angry! But she said she wasn’t angry.
?”
"Hahahahaha..." Yu Qiuping laughed when he heard this. Isn't this Tokugawa Nobuyasu like a straight man who couldn't coax girls in his previous life? "A man should be gentle with women, coax her, and just smooth her hair."
Come on, why bother being stubborn with her?"
"What? Coax her? Why don't you raise your nose to the sky? You have been arrogant in Okazaki City all day!" Tokugawa Nobuyasu seemed to get even more angry when he said it, and actually threw the riding crop to the ground, "
I finally figured it out! She just relies on the fact that she is the daughter of the Oda family and looks down on our Tokugawa family, so she dominates us! Although our Tokugawa family is subordinate, we are also men. How can we stand this?
She felt wronged. She always said, "What is our Oda family?"
Why is it that my mother is also her mother-in-law and an elder? As a result, they met on the stairs with their maid, and she actually asked her mother to step aside and wait for her to pass first? It is really unreasonable! Every time I am dissatisfied and every time we quarrel, she
In the end, they all shouted that they were going to file a complaint with the Oda Grand Palace and use the Oda family to suppress me! Really!"
Tokugawa Nobuyasu complained angrily for a long time, but Yu Qiuping was frightened. This child was outspoken, so he must have something to say. If things were really as he described, then Tokugawa Nobuyasu, Tsukuba
The conflict between the wife, mother and son, and Oda Gotoku is already very serious! Mrs. Tsukiyama is the adopted daughter of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and Oda Gotoku is the daughter of Oda Nobunaga. Naturally, the next generation of these old enemies will not like them.
The other party. And Tokugawa Nobuyasu apparently failed to mediate the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Instead, he and Oda Gotoku had a serious quarrel... If things really continued like this, Oda Gotoku wrote a letter to Oda Nobunaga to report Tokugawa Nobiyasu.
Isn’t the tragedy that he and Mrs. Tsukiyama’s intercourse with Takeda led to their execution by Oda Nobunaga about to happen again?
"Sanlang, you shouldn't talk nonsense about these things to others." Yu Qiuping leaned into Tokugawa Nobuyasu's ear and whispered to him earnestly, "You have conflicts with Princess Wude, and what your father said
You are afraid that the Oda family will suspect you of these things, so you should not talk nonsense to others. If you tell these things, it will bring trouble to the Tokugawa family."
"Ah? Alas... Alas, okay!" Tokugawa Nobuyasu was stunned as if he didn't understand, but out of respect for Yu Qiuping, he responded immediately. Yu Qiuping sighed, knowing that the child must not have listened.
He shook his head helplessly.
"What do you say about the matter between you and Princess Wu De?" Yu Qiuping held Tokugawa Nobuyasu's shoulder and pulled him toward a deserted place while whispering, "We still need to learn to understand each other. Wu Qiuping
Princess De is not a bad person and will understand you."
"But she is really annoying sometimes..." Tokugawa Nobuyasu turned away and muttered.
"When you are angry, think of happy things." Yu Qiuping smiled and patted Tokugawa Nobuyasu, "Come, tell me, what happy and sweet time did you have?"
"Ah... that kind of thing." The young man Tokugawa Nobuyasu suddenly blushed when he mentioned those sweet past events, "How can I be embarrassed to say it out loud?"
"It's okay, just say it, and you will feel a lot better as you talk." Yu Qiuping continued to encourage him in a persuasive way, just like how several roommates encouraged the only roommate who was in love to tell the details of his love during a night chat in the dormitory of junior high school.
"Ah...sigh..." Tokugawa Nobuyasu hesitated for a long time, scratching his head so much that his hair almost fell out, and finally managed to say: "When she first got married... she thought she was very beautiful, because she had never seen her so beautiful before.
girl. Then I was very cautious and didn't dare to get too close to her... Then one day, she suddenly hugged me. I was very nervous, and she said, 'This little girl is your wife... What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of'...
I felt very touched at the time…”
"What else?" Yu Qiuping encouraged while trying to suppress a smile while listening to Tokugawa Nobuyasu's nondescript stories.
"Once my hunter was injured in a fall, and I couldn't eat... Then when the maid fed me, her movements were more... frivolous." Tokugawa Nobuyasu considered his words, but his face became redder and redder, "Then
The five virtues are... just..."
"Are you jealous?" Yu Qiuping continued with a smile.
"Ah...right!" After hearing Yu Qiuping say the word that he was embarrassed to say, Tokugawa Nobuyasu nodded in relief, "She just grabbed the job and wanted to feed me. But she has never served anyone.
I couldn't feed her well, so my clothes were all covered with soup and water, and she burst into tears. Then I hugged her and coaxed her, telling her that it was okay... and then..." When Tokugawa Nobuyasu said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at
Tian, seemed to be trying to hide her red eyes, "Later, she told me one time that she was particularly touched that day."
After telling this story, Tokugawa Nobuyasu seemed to have opened up his chatterbox and rambled on about many past events. Some were ordinary things like buying jewelry, and some were farewells before a battle that only a man from the samurai family would experience... until the last one
:
"Another time... I killed a big rabbit while hunting, but seeing that he had a small little rabbit with him, I didn't want to kill it, so I captured her and gave her to Wude. She especially liked that rabbit.
It was just a little rabbit. She was very happy at that time. She was busy serving that little rabbit every day... She looked... so cute at that time." When Tokugawa Nobuyasu mentioned this matter, his eyes seemed to be glowing, but as he said
As he spoke, the light gradually dimmed. "But then the little rabbit died, and Wude was very sad... I felt distressed when I saw it, so I said I would catch one for her next time I hunt... But..."
"But what?" Yu Qiuping was a little curious.
"But then we had a quarrel... I told her that I wouldn't let her catch her... She said she didn't care... and then we let it go." Tokugawa Nobuyasu sighed, slowly lowered his head, and said no more words.
.
Suddenly, a small rabbit jumped out of the bushes next to them. Tokugawa Nobuyasu was stunned for a moment, and with his quick eyes and hands, he bent down and caught the little rabbit.
"What are you talking about?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu smiled and raised the rabbit in his hand.
"Go back and give it to Wude?" Yu Qiuping raised his eyebrows and encouraged.
"Hmm..." Tokugawa Nobuyasu frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and gave the rabbit to Yu Qiuping.
"Let uncle keep it for now. We have been quarreling recently, and I don't want to be embarrassed and give her a rabbit to reconcile." Tokugawa Nobuyasu muttered a few times, "I have to wait for her to apologize to me first, and then I will give her the rabbit."
