Chapter 56 second round banquet

On the day Nobunaga held a banquet in person, the Tokugawa family moved to Somiseji Temple.After working day and night, a stand for watching Noh plays has been set up in the temple; in addition, Nobunaga specially summoned a group of Noh masters to entertain the guests.On the 19th, all the performances were finally over.When Nobunaga returned to Nohime's room after the banquet, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Maybe it was because he was too excited, so he had to hurry up and tell Nohime? "Ah Nong, monster! Get the wine quickly." He yelled loudly and came in from the corridor.Since he was already very drunk at the banquet, he took a big sip of water first, and then said, "Bring the pillow! I only want the monster's knee, not the wooden sleeper."

According to her husband's request, Nohime stretched out her knees for him to pillow on, and at the same time looked at him tenderly. "Your Highness, it seems that you are very happy! I think Mr. Tokugawa should also be very happy, right?" "Well, he is also very happy. It's been a long time, I haven't been this happy for a long time. Today, we seem to have returned to the previous era of Master Ji and Takechiyo." "Mr. Tokugawa's retainers should also be very happy, right?" "Hahaha... Half of the people still think that they should be on guard against me, after all, I am the one who killed Xinkang!...And, whenever they think of this, they will still look at me with hatred!"

"No matter in that era, no one can satisfy all the people. So, there is no way!" "Haha...monster, are you going to preach to Youfu again?" "My lord, you've been calling monsters, monsters, ever since you entered the door. Who are you referring to?" "Huh? Does this make you angry too? Everyone in the capital, from the ministers to the common people, calls you that behind their backs! They say that after decades, you are still the same. As young as before, it must be the incarnation of the golden-haired nine-tails. Haha...don't get too excited, Jin Weiqing's entourage said that Mrs. Nong must be an old fox who can only fly!"

"So I should be only twenty years old? In comparison, my lord, you are really aging too fast." "Ah Nong!" "What's up?" "As you ordered, I gave each of the retainers of the Tokugawa family two pieces of clothes without lining, and they were very happy...I told them that one of these two clothes is for them to wear when traveling, One is a gift for my wife... I just told them what you said, but I didn't expect that some of the older retainers were so moved that they burst into tears, praising me for being considerate and considerate of others! So I said , you are really a veritable old fox!"

"You're kidding! It just occurred to me that we should do something for these country folks' trips!" "Yes! That's why I said you are really a careful and considerate person! However, it looks very long, but it is actually very short..." "You mean the ones without the lining?" "No! I mean my life!" At this point, Nobunaga, who was pillowed on Noonghime's lap, took a sip of water again, and then continued: "By the way, Anong! As the saying goes: Life is fifty years old, and now I am only one year away from my fiftieth year. Looking back, it has been a long time since you married and tried to take my head..."

"What? You haven't forgotten about it?" "But having said that, the ideal of unifying the world has not yet been realized, which makes people feel that time seems to be very short." "Come, my lord, your wine is ready." "Okay, let's drink! Monster, you are the most talented woman in Mino, and I am the big fool in Owari... Let's restore the happy mood before, and have a good drink! Now, my fascinating The proud little brother, Takechiyo who won the East China Sea with no place to stand, sleeps in Somi Temple! Anon, I am so happy." At this time, Nobunaga seems to have returned to the era of Master Ji, with an innocent expression on his face.

Nonghime also had infinite feelings in her heart. In fact, even Nobunaga and Nohime did not expect that they could know each other and work together to live in troubled times.At first, they were hostile parties. When Ah Nong was ordered by his father to marry Nobunaga, it was actually to take his life... Thinking about it now, in this troubled world, the relationship between Nobunaga and Ieyasu is indeed an anomaly.Nobunaga, who was once betrayed by his younger brother, and Ieyasu, who was an orphan since childhood, have developed a deeper relationship than brothers since they met in childhood, and they are still working together to unify the world until now.

Faith is what keeps their alliance alive. "People in the world must think that Ieyasu and I are united based on interests, that's why we have maintained it until now, right? Ah Nong!" "I understand! Come on, I'll pour you wine." "What? You understand!" "Yes, I know that you are not united for profit, but because you are the rare big fools nowadays, so the friendship can be maintained until now." "So it turns out that Ieyasu and I are both big idiots!" "Yeah! You stick to your beliefs and try to turn the tide in this chaotic world ruled by heroes and bring the world back to stability... Tell me, if you are not a big fool, how can you continue? You see, you two are not just pursuing your own ideals , and have been working hard until now? So I say, you are really a pair of admirable and admirable idiot comrades!"

"Ha ha……" Nobunaga laughed out loud.This woman originally married him just for assassination, but now she has become the wife who knows the depths of her heart best; Takechiyo, who was sent to Owari as a hostage because of a misunderstanding, has now become her most powerful helper... "Ah Nong, life is indeed very interesting, you can't help being happy!" "Frankly speaking, it's all because adults can persist in their beliefs, so that they move people's hearts!" "Having said that, I still think that life is only fifty years... Besides, life and death are beyond the control of human beings, so I may die tonight!"

"My lord, why did you say such unlucky words again..." "Haha... I am not afraid of death! In fact, I have long realized that I will die at any time." "Then let me ask you, if you die now, what will you do with your future work?" "Well, Ieyasu and Fujikichiro are still here! ... My ambition has been inherited by others, so I don't worry about death at all; for me, this is the real happy thing, maybe it is The happiest night of my life! Ah Nong, come here, and I'll pour you a glass of wine too." Nobunaga put the wine glass in front of his wife and said, "Tonight, the right minister, Nobunaga, personally pours the wine for Ieyasu and Anon, and the sincerity of the heart is shared by the gods! Hahaha..."
