After asking clearly what he wanted to know, Hosokawa Fujitaka no longer wanted to talk to these dudes, and he patiently chatted for a few words before leaving with Akechi Mitsuhide.
As soon as Hosokawa Fujitaka returned to Kyoto, he anxiously searched for these dandies because he wanted to know more about the virtues of the young masters of the Shiba family.
If you are really a virtuous person, you might as well follow Qing Yuan's mother's wishes. She is focused on maintaining the family business and doesn't care about the affairs of men and women. It is just the task of passing on the family line. It is not a matter of marrying into any family, as long as the elders are happy.
But after hearing the rumors in Kyoto, I had a bad impression of the young master of the Shiba family. This is not a marriage, it is clearly a time bomb. The marriage must be dissuaded, and the fiancé who does not know the general situation cannot do this.
She didn't know that Mibuchi Haru had revealed her intention to get married to Yoshihiro Shiba only after the war. The letter's words about herself being her mother-in-law made her misunderstand.
Due to a misunderstanding about the unreliable Haruwa's mother, the marriage was finalized. Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was worried about how to get rid of his fiancé, turned his attention to his best friend Akechi Mitsuhide.
"Mitsuhide, look..."
"I do not watch."
"I think.."
"I don't think so."
Hosokawa Fujitaka was stopped by Akechi Mitsuhide with a few words. Although the two had not known each other for a long time, they were close friends.
As soon as Hosokawa Fujitaka opened his mouth, Akechi Mitsuhide knew that this girl had evil intentions. Considering herself to be an elegant and calm woman, Akechi Mitsuhide was also shocked and pale at the deeds of the Nasuba family son, and was grateful.
In front of the shogunate ministers, he contradicted the general, took off his clothes and acted wildly. What a strange man he was.
If it weren't for the relationship between the Shiba family and the Ashikaga family, the general would have killed this arrogant man with his sword.
You, Hosokawa Fujitaka, are afraid, but I, Akechi Mitsuhide, are not afraid? Don't toss me with lies about being famous and noble, and that it will be beneficial to your future career.
Even if I, Akechi Mitsuhide, starve to death on the streets of Kyoto and no man likes me in this life, I will not pursue such a rich man.
Both of them are smart people, and their respective thoughts are clear after just a few words. Hosokawa Fujitaka had to sigh and find another way.
Seeing that it was getting late, since I had returned to Kyoto, I naturally wanted to go to Sanyuan Mansion to send my greetings. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
When Sanbuchi Haru heard that her second daughter had returned home, she was brought in.
Seeing that she was bringing along a warrior girl who was no less beautiful than Fujitaka himself, I couldn't help but complain in my heart.
This is not to let you have more contact with Shiba Yiyin and develop a relationship. What do you mean by finding such a beautiful Ji Samurai to accompany you? Aren't you afraid that the duck you got will fly away?
But Akechi Mitsuhide was nearby, and it was inconvenient for her to say more, so she could only glare at Hosokawa Fujitaka.
"Why is your child coming so slowly? The shogunate has already made arrangements and is waiting for you."
"Mother, please forgive me, but you know that the Miyoshi family is restless. Hosokawa is a little busy, so I rushed back as quickly as possible."
In private situations, Hosokawa Fujitaka still calls Mibuchi Haruwa's mother, which is also recognized by Hosokawa Motonsune. They are both sisters, one daughter and two, and their relationship is good.
Mibuchi Haru nodded after hearing this, and couldn't help but worry about the Izumi Hosokawa family, but she couldn't do anything about it after the nest was overturned.
The Ashikaga family couldn't bear it, and all the officials in the shogunate had a hard time. Ashikaga Yoshiteru is also a wise master. I hope my ancestors will bless the Ashikaga family and survive this crisis.
"You will set off tomorrow, and the people from the Rokkaku family will meet up near the border.
It's unfortunate that you're here. The Shiba family's son, Yoshigan, told his retainers that they were out to visit Kyoto and are not in the house now. They will introduce you to each other later. "
"No, mother, I will gather outside the mansion tomorrow morning. There are still some matters to be dealt with in Hosokawa, so I will sleep in the mansion over there tonight."
Hosokawa Fujitaka was overjoyed to hear that Yoshigan was not here. He rejected his mother's request for accommodation and left on the pretext of doing business. Izumi Hosokawa's family has their own mansion in Beijing, so she is not afraid of having no place to live.
It's just that Mibuchi Haru is a little regretful. The second daughter is in a hurry to do things quickly, and many things have not been properly explained. Thinking that it would not be too late for them to come back from Omi, I felt relieved.
On the way, Akechi Mitsuhide laughed so hard when he saw Hosokawa Fujitaka running away like his tail was on fire.
"Why are you laughing? If you laugh again, Na Sibo Yiyin will marry you."
"Lord Hosokawa, please have mercy. You can keep it for yourself and enjoy it. It turns out it's called Shiba Yoshigan, but it's a good name."
"But people, haha."
The two joked with each other. Hosokawa Fujitaka made up his mind to deal with this little man coldly on the road. It would be best if he felt aggrieved and ended the marriage himself.
Otani Village in Omi Province, Otani Village is a natural village near Omi Kannonji Castle.
More than a hundred years ago, in order to increase their strength, the Rokkaku family made it easier for the Shimo samurai to open up the wilderness. At that time, the ancestors of the Otani family also had the courage to challenge and received the license to open up.
At that time, he was only given the title of earth servant. As the lowest-ranking Ji warrior, Otani had no chance to stand out. He used this title to open up farmland in the wilderness south of Guanyin Temple City, drive away wild animals, and gather mountain people. After a hundred years of development, the people of this country have achieved this territory of more than a thousand stones.
However, due to the continuous wars in recent years, the Liujia family looks like a flower, but in fact it is already a powerful family. On the one hand, grain, grass and copper coins are needed to support the war; on the other hand, they need to reward knowledge and deeds to win over retainers.
If close relatives and retainers from generation to generation are united and cannot be plundered, then the lives of the people in the subordinate counties will be difficult.
Not only is the military and food service increasing day by day, but the number of battles is also increasing. The Otani family, as the land attendants of Otani Village, was tortured to death.
In this generation, money and food are no longer enough to survive. After the previous family governor died fighting for the Rokkaku family, only a girl with a strange disease was left behind.
But even though it was so tragic, there was still no peace. Seeing that the Otani family is about to die soon, the Rokkaku family wants to usurp the Otani family's territory.
A thousand stones is not too much, not too little. Zhixing is enough to house several meritorious warriors. It took three years to wait for the Otani girl to become seriously ill and die.
Otani Yoshitsugi lives in the Otani family mansion in the village. This was originally the tallest and most beautiful building in the village, but now it is overgrown with weeds and rarely visited.
A few years ago, she suffered from a strange problem. Her skin was itchy and unbearable, and from time to time she would develop red spots and ulcers. When my mother died in the battle, the people in the house were distraught, and there were still vicious rumors that she was the one who inherited this disease.
Otani Yoshitsugi was also stubborn and dismissed his servants and lived alone. It turned out that her mother had already arranged a marriage for her, and the man was the child of the local waiter from the next village, a well-known handsome man from all over the country.
After his mother died in the war, the man's family began to push back and forth. Later, I heard that the Rokkaku family had the idea of taking back the territory of the Otani family, and even threw a divorce note at the mansion, and they were never seen again.
For the past three years, she pretended to be seriously ill and could die at any time, numbing the greed of the Rokkaku family. The Rokkaku family was concerned about their reputation and wanted to wait until she was dead before accepting the territory to look better.
In fact, she has a skin problem. Although the ulcers on her body are frightening, it is not fatal.
Yesterday, an order came from the Rokkaku family, asking her to lead troops to the border of the mountain castle to meet the nobles of the famous Shiba family of the shogunate, and then go to fight Asai.
After reading the order repeatedly, I always felt that there was a hint of conspiracy in it. But Otani Yoshitsugi didn't care, she also needed a chance to get out of sight of the Rokkaku family.
By pretending to die in battle, you can leave secretly. When I am successful, I will definitely come back. Just wait, the Rokkaku family.
Don’t laugh at being young and poor!
