Sitting next to him was his lord. These brothers who usually spoke without scruples had to put a few cautions in their mouths and carefully chatted about irrelevant topics. Yu Qiuping, on the other hand, had been distracted because of Yu Qiuyou's appearance.
Ning, he often took the opportunity to drink tea to see his child - but the latter always stood beside Oda Nobunaga without looking back.
"What's wrong, when a child grows up, there will always be a period of time when he and his father are at odds with each other." Ikeda Hengxing moved closer to Yu Qiuping and said casually while eating the snacks on the table, "My Daisuke is also there every day.
Talking back to me, who doesn't come here like this?"
"You'er's situation is obviously much more serious than 'talking back'." Yu Qiuping shook his chair uneasily, "I'm even afraid... that he might hate Shang'er and me."
"Well... you are worried about this now, but you weren't worried 20 years ago?" Ikeda Hengxing also smiled bitterly, "Twins will definitely... have conflicts. Can the experience passed down by our ancestors be fake?" Ikeda Hengxing originally said
The word I wanted to use was much more serious than "contradictory", but after thinking about it I still didn't say it.
"Feudal superstition." Yu Qiuping's words seemed a bit unfounded, and he sighed with his eyebrows furrowed, "It's true that they... had conflicts in some places when they were young, and even had a quarrel. But later they finally reconciled...
Alas. They all blame me..."
"You really didn't consider that matter at that time. Your own identity is more sensitive than the Tokugawa family, and you still dared to wade into that muddy water." Ikeda Hengxing lowered his voice to prevent Oda Nobunaga at the next table from listening.
He said, "This is great, has it pissed off the lord? To be honest, the lord has been tolerant to you and has not reduced the title of the Yuqiu family..."
"I still wish he would reduce the title." Yu Qiuping interrupted angrily, "The territory and everything else are external possessions. Once they are gone, they are gone. It doesn't matter. The lord insists on the gift of marriage, so that we can be a good family."
, we parted like this. I don’t know if Ayou will talk to us again in the future, and I don’t know if Ayou can still have a meal with us... I really regret it now... I can’t even think of it.
When was the last time our family had a happy meal..."
"Oh, you are such a big man, you are so sentimental." Ikeda Hengxing patted Yu Qiuping on the back so hard that Yu Qiuping almost spit out the tea, "How can there be such a last meal?"
, the last time or whatever, don’t think too much about it, everything that should be there will be there.”
"I accept your good advice." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the side of the stage. Everyone looked around and found that some musicians were no longer in place and were playing cheerful warm-up music. Yu Qiuping looked back and saw that the whole song and dance
The hall was almost full of people, most of whom were prominent figures in Azuchi City. The musicians had no stage fright when performing on such occasions, and they were all calm and unhurried. It seemed like this Aguo Song and Dance Troupe was used to it.
What a big scene.
The warm-up music was played leisurely, but many warriors were still impatient and couldn't wait. The auditorium became noisy, and there were faint calls for the song and dance troupe to come on stage faster. However, the musicians were unmoved.
You looked at the warriors and the emperor was not worried and the eunuchs were anxious. This is a very good way to put on a stage.
After a while, the music played by the musicians changed, and the rhythm became brighter. Listening to this tune, Yu Qiuping felt much more comfortable than the sleep-inducing tones of Noh drama. Then, he appeared from both sides of the stage.
His eyes lit up with the kabuki plays. The dancers wore colorful costumes, held Uchiwa fans in their hands, walked on wooden shoes, and danced to the music. Their light steps and cheerful movements instantly attracted these accustomed viewers.
After seeing the samurai of the Noh drama, these men all locked their eyes on the dancing girls who exuded youthful vitality.
"It's a bit like what Keiji dances." Yu Qiuping recalled in his mind the weird dance that Maeda Keiji often danced after the evaluation meeting, "but the time seems to be different."
At this moment, deafening cheers suddenly came from the surroundings, which startled Yu Qiuping in the closed song and dance hall. He hurriedly looked at it, only to find a woman in the most gorgeous clothes, wearing a
The bamboo-colored mask slowly came to the stage with a more stretched and brisk dance. Even the loose clothes could not conceal the uneven lines. With every move of his hands and feet, his charming temperament was fully displayed. Two pairs of white little hands were already
It is enough to arouse people's imagination - what kind of world-famous face should be behind that mask? The young and beautiful women just now seemed to be eclipsed in an instant beside her, and they could only serve as the green leaves of the red flowers.
"Is it so exaggerated..." Yu Qiuping touched his ears that were so painful from the shock, and then discovered that the person shouting the loudest in the entire hall was probably Ikeda Hengxing next to him. He was standing up at the moment, not caring about what was behind him.
The blocked audience shouted happily: "Ah Guo! Ah Guo! Ah Guo girl! Look here!"
Yu Qiuping only felt that the person next to him was being embarrassed, and he pushed Ikeda Hengxing down and sat down after pulling him to the ground.
"Watch the dance! It's like a war!" Yu Qiuping complained, dumbfounded. "It's so noisy. My son is still here. Don't let him see the joke and think his father is like you all day long.
People of different races mix together.”
"What do you know! I'm not doing this just to show Miss Aguo's face!" Ikeda Hengxing didn't even look at Yu Qiuping, but kept waving towards Yu Qiuping, trying to break free from Yu Qiuping's restraints, "Miss Aguo, look at me!
Your special someone is here!"
Tsuneki Ikeda is not the only one who commits nymphomaniacs here, but he is the only one who makes such a fuss. - Most high-ranking samurai are afraid of their status and are embarrassed to make such a fuss.
·
Finally, after Aguo danced three times and went to rest, the hall became a little quieter. Yu Qiuping took advantage of Ikeda Hengxing's breathing and hurriedly gave him some water and asked him to shut his mouth and calm down for a while.
"Tell me, what kind of fairy is this Aguo girl!" However, Ikeda Hengxing had no intention of stopping at all. As soon as he swallowed the water to moisten his throat, he hurriedly said to the people around him.
"I really want to see her." Yoshiyuki Sawaki also dragged his cheeks and acted like a nymphomaniac, "She must be a big beauty."
"She is really a beauty, why don't she show her true face to others?" Maeda Toshiie didn't quite agree with this and shook his head, "It must be that she doesn't look good."
"What do you know? This must be for fame." Hashiba Hideyoshi licked his lips and laughed twice, "There are thousands of beautiful dancers in the world, but who is as popular as Aguo girl? Why? Just because she wears
Mask, that man doesn’t want to see his face?”
"I really want to taste her..." Hideyoshi Hashiba smacked his lips and couldn't help but rub his hands together.
"Didn't you just bring the girl you met at the Whale House back to your house this morning?" Sawaki Yoshiyuki also laughed and complained, "Why, you didn't enjoy enough of the beauty? You haven't even finished eating on the plate.
Are you thinking about what's in the pot?"
"What? You actually took the girl from the whale house back?" Yu Qiuping, who was the first to leave, naturally didn't know all this and looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Ningning will cut you to pieces after she finds out?
piece?"
"She is already old and young, who is still pampering her? I wrote to my lord before to complain about my philandering. It's really annoying." Hideyoshi complained a few words in his mouth, "I just want to take my Sichuan."
What will happen to her if she is taken back? Let me tell you, not only do I want to take her back to my home, I also want to take her back to Himeji Castle, and I will take her to the castle tower and make her sleep with her every night!"
"You've only had a few glasses of wine, why are you so drunk?" Ikeda Hengxing patted the table, pointed at Hideyoshi Hashiba and said, "Look at your monkey face, it's as red as a monkey's butt!"
Hashiba Hideyoshi's face turned redder when he heard this. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Yu Qiuping hurriedly used the urine escape as an excuse to escape, planning to let Maeda Toshiie break up the fight. He walked to the door and asked the security officer what was going on here.
Where was the toilet? The security officer pointed to the backstage with some embarrassment.
"The toilet at the street corner outside just exploded." The security officer said something interesting, "Maybe I need to go backstage to take a look."
Yu Qiuping then turned around and walked towards the backstage of the song and dance troupe, bypassing several wooden doors and passing by the lounges and dressing rooms of the song and dance troupe members. The preparations seemed quite complicated. There were hundreds of people in the entire troupe.
, but it was arranged in an orderly manner.
Just as he was looking around, there was suddenly a sound of light footsteps in front of him. He turned around and recognized the person who was about to pass him by - the masked girl from Aguo.
I'm lucky. I can see A Guo up close when I go backstage. If Hengxing knew about it, he would be jealous and crazy. He would probably run to the toilet without stopping.
Yu Qiuping was thinking about something in his mind, so he didn't pay attention to his mouth for a moment, and directly said hello: "Hello, girl." After the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he had lost etiquette.
With his status, it was only the dancer in front of him who bowed down to greet him. However, he accidentally said hello first, which was really embarrassing. At this time, it was not for A Guo to return the greeting, nor was it not to return the greeting.
A Guo was also stunned for a moment, his eyes behind the mask dodged for a moment, and then he sighed slightly.
Yu Qiuping was distressed by his rashness, and was about to turn around and walk away, pretending that it had never happened. However, as soon as he took half a step, A Guo suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
Yu Qiuping suddenly became vigilant. Although he had brought many guards, they were all in the hall. Logically speaking, a few of Crow's ninjas would secretly follow him to protect him, but I don't know if they followed him here.
In any case, it is inconvenient to stay in this unsafe place for a long time, not to mention that A Guo made such an outrageous move? If her previous rudeness was due to Yu Qiuping not speaking according to the rules, this time she directly dragged the warrior
The impoliteness of the sleeves - a bad-tempered samurai, but he can just slash with a sword. Those who do not follow common sense should be careful, because if they are assassinated, they will be in trouble.
Although Yu Qiuping doesn't want to cause more trouble, he still puts his own safety first at the moment.
Just when Yu Qiuping was thinking about this, Yu Qiuping's familiar voice sounded:
Chapter completed!
