Japan, Edo, Yagyu family.
Mamoru Yagyu, the contemporary head of the Yagyu family, is meditating in his room.
Boom, boom, boom!
A rapid knock on the door interrupted Yagyu Tajima Mamoru's meditative state.
"What's the matter?" Yagyu Taimamomo slowly opened his eyes.
"Master, a group of strangers came outside the dojo, bringing greetings from Lord Ishihara." The disciple outside the door replied.
"I understand. Let's take them to the living room to serve tea first. I'll be there soon."
"yes!"
Outside the door of the Yagyu family, Guo Zhuzheng and Ada were waiting outside.
"Master, are you talking about whether Ishihara's invitation is of any use? At that time, he promised to join the Yagyu family." Ah Da, who was waiting outside the door, said impatiently.
"Don't be impatient! I'll report it in and write down the time." Guo Zhu spoke to comfort Ada.
After a while, the disciple who had just gone in to report ran over and bowed: "I'm really sorry, please come in."
With that said, he led the group in.
Guo Zhu knocked on the folding fan with his hand and walked carelessly along the way, looking at the buildings of the Yagyu family and the cherry blossoms that could be seen everywhere. It was early spring and the cherry blossoms were blooming brilliantly.
Yagyu's house, outside the living room.
Guo Zhu saw a man wearing a red suit with a copper coin tied to his left eye coming towards him.
"The distinguished guest has arrived. Please forgive Jubei's poor hospitality and please come in quickly." Yagyu Jubei cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Hahaha, guest is welcome. I've heard about the reputation of Yagyu Shinin Sect for a long time. Please forgive me for coming here rashly today." Guo Zhuye said with a hearty smile while cupping his hands.
"Serious words, please!"
Guo Zhu followed Yagyu Jubei into the living room and saw a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard sitting in the main seat, smiling gently.
"This is my father." Yagyu Jubei introduced.
"My Majesty, Wansanjin, is a Ming Dynasty man. I have long heard about Senior Yagyu's reputation as the great master of the Xinyin Sect, and I am here to pay you a special visit today." Guo Zhu bowed as he went to his hometown to do as the Romans do.
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru returned the greeting and asked: "The journey from the Central Plains is difficult. You come here with Lord Ishihara's greetings. I'm afraid you are not just visiting me."
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru is old and mature, what he means is: stop pretending, just tell the truth.
Guo Zhu said with a smile: "Senior speaks quickly, then junior will speak directly."
"Senior, have you ever heard of Thirty Thousand?"
"Oh, but the Ming Dynasty was richer than Shi Chong. Legend has it that he is the richest man in the world." Yagyu Tajima Mamoru was a little confused, "You just said your name is Mansankin? Who is you?"
"Yes, my brother is exactly thirteen thousand!" Guo Zhu admitted frankly.
"My brother and I have made plans since childhood. My brother is engaged in business and earns wealth, while I practice martial arts diligently and protect the wealth. The wealth earned by my brother is helping me to reach a higher level in martial arts."
"You brothers are so brave!" Yagyu Taimamomo praised after hearing Guo Zhu's remarks.
"Then you traveled thousands of miles and came to Japan, do you want to learn the martial arts of my Shinyin sect?" Yagyu Taimashou saw Guo Zhu's well-spoken words and well-founded advances and retreats, and he couldn't help but develop a love for talents.
"No." Guo Zhu shook his head, "I know that the martial arts of the Xinyin School are profound and unpredictable, but martial arts requires a master's degree rather than a master's degree! I haven't mastered my current martial arts well, so I don't dare to dabble in other martial arts."
In fact, Guo Zhu didn't like the martial arts of the Xinyin sect, and the Iga sect after which the Xinyin sect was named was destroyed by him. How could he abandon the martial arts of the Xinyin sect and learn the martial arts of the Xinyin sect.
Isn’t the practice of absorbing gong delicious?
Is King Kong neither bad nor strong?
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru, after hearing Guo Zhu's words, agreed very much, and unconsciously glanced at Yagyu Jubei who was standing next to him, and said secretly: I haven't learned martial arts well yet, and I still pester Mian Kuang Shiro, what kind of phantom sword do I want to learn? .
"Martial arts is about mastering, not playing! That's so well said! Jubei, you should remember it carefully and don't think about learning any phantom sword!" Yagyu Taimamomo scolded.
"Yes, father!"
"If you're not learning martial arts, why?" Yagyu Taimamomo continued to ask.
"I'm here for two things." Guo Zhu stretched out two fingers.
"The first thing is that my brother wants to come to Japan to do some business, and he wants to ask the Yagyu family to take care of him. The reward will definitely satisfy the Yagyu family."
Yagyu Taimamomo thought for a moment and then agreed, "It's a simple matter!"
"What about the second thing?"
"I came to Japan. I heard that the young lady of the Yagyu family, Yukihime Yagyu, is a virtuous, virtuous, and intelligent woman. I came here today to propose marriage to Mr. Yagyu. This is the gift list." He took out the gift list from his arms.
When the two heard this, a light flashed in their eyes.
Yagyu Jubei took the gift list from Guo Zhu, then started to read it out.
"A hundred sapphires from Persia
Two hundred pure gold rings from the Kingdom of Ceylon
Three hundred pairs of jade bracelets from Java
Four hundred strands of Sumatra agate necklace
Five thousand taels of silver from Guli Kingdom
…”
"Stop reading it," Yagyu Taimashou said. He felt that he had underestimated the wealth of the richest man in the world.
And Yagyu Jubei, who was reading the gift list, became more and more frightened as he read it. He wished he could immediately agree for his father and marry his sister as soon as possible.
"I feel your sincerity, but I need to ask my little girl Yukihime's opinion on this." Yagyu Tamami suppressed the surprise in his heart and said.
"Father..." Yagyu Jubei wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Yagyu Taimamoru waving his hand.
Seeing this scene, Guo Zhu knew that the matter was already half successful, so he continued to speak: "The so-called parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, as long as you agree to it, Senior Yagyu, won't it be enough?"
"Oh, my little girl Yukihime has been naughty since she was a child... It's all my fault for spoiling her rotten." Yagyu Taimamoru sighed.
Guo Zhu then made a bold statement: "If I marry Miss Xue Ji, then you will be my family. I can double the size of the Yagyu Dojo. I will also ask Lord Ishihara to recommend you to the Shogun."
"With money and power, the Yagyu family can have its own piece of blue sky, and unifying the Japanese martial arts is no longer a dream!"
"This is a marriage and an alliance!"
Guo Zhu looked at Yagyu Taimamomo with burning eyes.
"This..." Yagyu Tajima Mamoru was moved, extremely moved! He longed for his own piece of blue sky above his head.
A long while.
"I agreed."
"Son-in-law, I have met my father-in-law."
"We are a family, no need to be polite."
When Guo Zhu and Ada walked out of the Yagyu family, Yagyu Jubei saw them off in person.
"Brother, don't send me away. I'm going back."
"Then be careful on the road."
…
"Master, is this also part of your plan?" Ada asked Guo Zhu on the way back.
"if not?"
"You are obviously greedy for this lady's body... ah!"
Ada received a flying kick.
…
Yagyu Mansion.
"Sister...sister." A little girl wearing a light green kimono ran up to her sister and shouted excitedly.
"What's the matter? Please speak more slowly?"
"You were...you were betrothed to someone by your father."
