Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Hideyori City

After the benefactor Okubo Tadao returned to Fushimi with A Jiang and his wife, Okubo Changan still temporarily stayed in Osaka City, responsible for handing over the dowry, comparing with the list of gifts one by one, putting those that should be put in the warehouse, precious items Then hand it over to Xiulai's courtiers. This is to act according to orders, but Chang An is still greatly surprised.The current situation in Osaka City aroused his strong interest, and he had never seen such a strange city.It is said that the owner of this city can only be Toyotomi Hideyori who is only eleven years old.The important officials with serious expressions should gather around Xiu Lai, on the grounds that Shaojun is young, let them discuss and deal with everything, big and small, and then tell Xiu Lai the final decision, and let Yubi record it.However, almost all the vassals ignored Hideyori's existence and gathered alone at Mrs. Yodo's residence.All matters have never been discussed with Hideyori, and Mrs. Dian decides at will.It would be quicker to make a decision this way, but many things have not been recorded, and if Mrs. Dian pretends that she doesn't remember, there will be trouble.

Of course, the expenditure of major money is handled by Katagiri and his younger brother Tetaka, Ono Jichang, Ono Jifu, and Koide Hidemasa, etc., and let Yu write the accounts together, but this is not the same as those small people in Sakai Port. The running accounts kept by merchants are the same and very simple. If there is evil in his heart, within a year, he can deceive everything in this city, Chang'an even had this kind of thought.But the atmosphere in the city is not tense.Although Hideyori also has servants such as Kimura Shigenari, Princess Ma, Aoki Kazuichi, etc., Hideyori seldom plays with them.Not only did the warriors of the seven-armed group responsible for defending the city rarely come to greet Hideyori, but most of them also kept a respectful distance from Mrs. Yodo.Moreover, there will be strange guests in the city. They are Nobunaga's younger brother Oda Yurakusai and Nobunaga's son Chang Zhen.Different from the daimyo who came to visit, they regarded themselves as hermits, put on a serious appearance, casually used the beloved tea set left by the Taige, and chatted leisurely in the tea room.

In the official residence of the Seven Hands Group, everyone is telling anecdotes about samurai; Most of the residences are banquets.In the city, the most proud and swaggering people are those tea people. Osaka really can be called a paradise of freedom, and there is no other place in the world that can compare with this place. Qianji and her party lived in the inner courtyard, occupying two houses. Her residence was near the place where Yuuki Hideyasu lived in Osaka Castle as Hideyoshi's adopted son, and Mrs. Yodo, Mrs. Kyo Gokaka, and Ae and his wife who were still girls at that time.But it is no longer the previous house. Although it is the same as the inner courtyard, it is separated from other people by an atrium, like two completely different worlds.

Xiu Lai came here with a boy and a maid.Okubo Changan was also very interested in the situation at that time. The maid who followed Chihime greeted Hideyori happily as if she was welcoming her husband.However, seeing Chihime, Hideorai showed pity and disappointment in his eyes.Qian Ji, who is only seven years old and has a pleasant appearance, will never cause him any displeasure.If she was the younger sister, Hiderai might be closer to her.But Xiu Lai is already a man, and he measures her as his wife.But Qianji is still a green persimmon in his eyes. "How, lonely?" Xiu Lai asked.Qianji shook her head slowly.In fact, although there are familiar maids around, but neither her favorite grandfather nor parents are around, she will naturally feel lonely.

"Does your lord like birds?" Qianji asked. "Well. Women are all raised." "What bird?" "There are white cheeks, and there are yellow sparrows." "I have a munia here. Would you like to see a munia?" "No need, little bird is boring." After finishing speaking, Hideyori glanced secretly at the maid who followed, her eyes seemed to say: Children and adults have different interests.However, when the eyes of the two met, the maid lowered her head with a blushing face.Okubo Chang'an, who has visited the flower streets and willow alleys of Sakai Port in the capital city, naturally knows what the maid's shyness means.However, Xiu Lai didn't know that there was a guy with countless people sitting next to him, and he would compare Qian Ji with this maid whenever something happened.

"Do adults like to play Cyberbox?" "Well, I played with women when I was a child." "Not playing now?" "Now? Not interesting." "Then... does your lord practice swordsmanship and riding?" "Yes, there are also bows and arrows and muskets. You have to practice." "When can you teach me?" "No, you shouldn't learn these things." "It's boring just to practice calligraphy and piano." "Boring..." Xiu Lai looked at the maid again, with a half-smile.He seemed to want to say that there are other things to do when you are bored, "When you are bored, you can go to my place to play. Oh, I remembered something, I have to go back." He gave the maid a wink, Then he stood up, which seemed to be a secret signal.

When Hideyori saw green persimmons, he remembered the smell of ripe persimmons.In Chang'an's heart, a strange idea arises spontaneously.Chang An was originally an ambitious man who loved to dream.He is brilliant and decisive, but not pragmatic. Seeing that Qian Ji was not suitable to be a wife, Xiu Lai urged the maids to leave together, and Chang An sent them to the corridor with a wry smile.Returning to Qianji again, he thought about it: If I were Xiu Lai's elder, what would happen?This delusion took flight as if it had grown wings.In any case, he couldn't possibly become a 600,000 koku daimyo like Hideyori.

The turbulent times of making meritorious deeds by force have come to an end, what needs to be done in the future is how to skillfully use the salary obtained in the turbulent times, to display talents and make political achievements in the peaceful and prosperous times.Although Chang'an can't become a big name like Hideyori, he can be a family elder and control his salary as he likes.This kind of master will not get in the way, he will just think of building a profitable brothel, as long as he puts three or four beautiful women by his side, he will not complain. Chang An smiled wryly.After finally being able to become an official under the general's family, it is impossible to turn around and work for the master of Daban City.He is past the age where he can indulge in daydreaming all day long, and he must figure out as soon as possible: why was he born?

Thinking of this, Changan glanced at Aqian, feeling overwhelmed.Hideyori is by no means the only master like this, they are none other than Ieyasu's descendants. The general himself, Yuuki Hideyasu, and Shimomori Tadakashi have no room for him to intervene in Okubo Changan.But Takeda Nobukichi's family has a lot to do with him, as well as Nobukichi's sixth son, Tatsuchiyo, whose name is Tadaki, who is twelve years old this year and looks like Hideyori.If he can gain Jiakang's trust, it's not like he won't have the opportunity to be with those two. Now Zhonghui is granted the title of Chuanzhong Island in Xinzhou, with a salary of 140,000 shi.Those who followed him, although they were all loyal, none of them knew how to govern the world.Besides, Zhonghui won't be just a daimyo of 140,000 shi all his life, and he will get the same salary as Echizen Hideyasu soon.Thinking of this, Chang'an looked around with a half-smile and a half-smile: Daban City, it's really an imaginative place.

Xiu Lai spent no more than one hour a day in learning the art of war and practicing swordsmanship.According to Chang'an's observation in the Tokugawa Mansion, the training time of Nobukichi and Zhonghui was more than three times that of Hideyori.Moreover, both Zhonghui and Nobukichi practiced with great interest, but Hideyori was dull.Hideyori's physique was not suitable for such violent movements.What he dislikes the most is swordsmanship, and he is only a little interested in bows and arrows.The bow and arrow partner is He Jiu Zongyou.Every time Xiu Lai hits a shot, he will praise him greatly: "Your Excellency is a genius. Work harder and shoot thirty shots."

But Hideyori understands that: geniuses don't need to practice like ordinary people.After shooting 20 bows, he was eager to start the next homework, and did not bury himself in practicing bows and arrows because of Zongyou's praise.After the art of war is calligraphy.He seems to like to practice handwriting, and his writing is steady, just like an adult's writing.When you are happy, you will exceed the scheduled time. Whenever Okubo Changan saw these situations, the shadows of Hideyori and Ieyasu's sixth son Tadaki overlapped.Zhonghui's biological mother is Cha A Ju, and his master is Minagawa Yamashiro Shu Guangzhao.From Chang'an's point of view, Guangzhao is ordinary, and there is nothing commendable about it.In addition, Hanai Yuane Mori Yoshinari is arranged beside him, who has been selected as the husband-in-law of the daughter of Cha Aju and his ex-husband.When Zhonghui gets tired of martial arts, Ji Cheng will teach him snare drums or ballads, but Zhonghui is not very enthusiastic about it. Perhaps Zhonghui's temperament is not quite the same as Hideyori's, but both of them are somewhat freewheeling.With the glory of her late father, Hideyori can do whatever she wants in Osaka Castle.The same goes for Zhonghui, as long as Jiakang is still around, no one will dare to touch him.Chang'an began to think about it: If he could become Zhonghui's elder, how would he capture the city of Daban, which was said to be invincible?When Xiu Lai and Zhong Hui meet each other, how should the city be saved? "Chang'an has the abacus, but can't conquer the city." The generals will definitely say this in unison.If he wanted to easily capture Daban City and add credit to his own face, he should... But Chang An quickly got rid of this delusion.I am afraid that he will never have such an opportunity in his life, and even if he does, it will be beyond his intelligence.Besides, compared with Osaka Castle, the gold left by Hideyoshi really made him dumbfounded. It is said that Hideyoshi stopped the excavation of Tada Ginzan because of too much gold excavated, and ordered the tunnels to be blocked and reopened when needed, and then cast the excavated gold into the shape of a weight and hid it in the city.Chang'an was very interested in mining, and wanted to dig mines in Sado, Izu, and Iwami by himself, which was his specialty. According to Taige's calculations, how much gold and silver should be circulating in the country?This can be inferred from the amount of gold he had hidden before his death.But this time Chang'an came to Osaka, he seemed to have completely forgotten about it.He knew that there was a mountain of gold in Osaka, but he never thought that he would see those legendary gold nuggets. By chance, he was lucky enough to see it with his own eyes. After completing the chores assigned by the Tokugawa Mansion, Changan came to Katagiri Kamoto to report to him on matters large and small.At this moment, Katagiri Sadataka walked in. "Excuse me for disturbing you." He whispered in Qie Yuan's ear, not knowing what to say.Seeing Qie Yuan nodded, he said to Chang'an: "Now I am moving some gold nuggets from the treasury to the Tianshou Pavilion. I'm sorry for the time being, please wait here for a while." "My lord is talking about the gold hidden in the Taige?" "Exactly." "Master Katagiri, I'm in the general's house, I'm Jinshan. In order to open my eyes and to leave memories for the future, please allow me to take a look." He was too urgent, and Qi Yuan was taken aback, and said in a deep thought: "That's fine. Then let you see one piece, and the others are all the same shape and size." "Thank you very much." In Chang'an's imagination, a gold nugget is no more than five guan and seven guan. He thought that Qi Yuan would take one.However, Qi Yuan smiled and shook his head. "If you can't get it here, you have to follow me to see it." "Is this appropriate?" "You are a relative and retainer, there is nothing inappropriate. Let's go and have a look." So, Qi Yuan took Chang'an to the treasury of His Excellency Tianshou.The road in front of Cangpu was paved with dilapidated rough straw mats, and a group of four carried something like a stone wrapped in straw mats, which seemed to be very heavy.It is about one foot and two inches long, seven or eight inches thick, and about one foot wide, with four corners hanging and tied to a beech board.Some have already moved into the warehouse, and are still being moved later. "Hey, put down one piece." Qi Yuan waved to one of the group of husbands. Okubo Changan almost cried out in shock.It can be seen from the way the husbands walked that the number of gold nuggets was at least forty. The man put down the gold nugget slowly in front of Chang An, and he noticed that there was no one on the road to approach. "Okay, you guys go over there and have a rest." After Qi Yuan finished speaking to her husband, he bent down and lifted the straw mat himself. Chang An swallowed a mouthful of saliva.The surroundings suddenly brightened, and the golden light dazzled people's eyes.What these four people carried was only a piece of gold!Chang An hurriedly raised his head, silently watching the transporting team.A long line of people, all they carry are the same gold nuggets as the one in front of them?Chang An suddenly felt an uncontrollable pain.People would kill for a small ingot of gold, but how much gold is hidden here!Taiko once used gold leaf to decorate the tiles on the castle tower of Fushimi Castle. At that time, Chang'an, who was just a hand-musician, once cursed: "This goddamn man, he really used gold as mud!" In the market, there are also many People can't stop cursing such arrogance.However, it now appears that that is just petty insight.If there is so much gold, let alone a small piece of gold can be spread into a large piece of gold leaf, it is not surprising that it is spread with gold plates.From this point of view, maybe Taige is also a small person. "Have you seen it? It's about to be packed." "Ah... yes." Changan asked hurriedly, "This, one piece... How many pieces are there?" "I heard that each yuan is forty-one." "Then, if it is minted into small gold coins..." Normally, this kind of calculation is what Chang An is best at, but today his brain is a little out of order. "I heard that if it is minted into small gold coins, it should be around 13,600 taels." "It seems...it seems to be. There are fourteen in a thousand tael box, which is a little insufficient. This is really a huge amount!" At this point, Chang An hurriedly shut his mouth, and if he continued to speak, it would not only be impolite, but also suspicious. Qi Yuan immediately wrapped the gold with a straw mat, and called his husband: "Okay, you can move away." Then, he waved to Zhenlong who was standing at the door, whispered to him a few words, and took Followed Chang'an back to the meeting room just now. Chang'an's mind and heart were full of gold nuggets. Gold itself is nothing more than a thing, but when people associate it with the present world, it will have the magic power of gods and Buddhas.Although there are many people in the world who are not controlled by this magic power, Okubo Chang'an cannot escape it.In the first half of his life, he seemed to be indifferent to gold, but in fact he cursed it and was bewitched by it because he wanted it so much. His desire was much greater than ordinary people. When Chang An returned to the meeting room and sat opposite Qie Yuan, he was still thinking about the gold just now, and was dumbfounded.He thought, so much gold would have no effect on that ordinary boy named Xiu Lai and his widowed mother, it was a waste of money! If the gold belonged to Okubo Changan, what would I do with it?Chang'an, who was dreaming, naturally thought of these: If the gold belongs to me, how can I let it go without using it?There are millions of taels, billions of trillions of taels!If that gold is minted into gold coins...why minted into gold coins?The gold cannot be circulated among the people, and it should be used as the principal of the business.Take out some gold to buy a foreign ship, and let the ronin roam overseas by boat.Wouldn't the dream of a luxury businessman in Sakai Port come true soon? But to Katagiri Kamoto, what he said was playing the piano to Niu, so it is better to go directly to Mrs. Dian and test her mind.If you are younger, sneaking into her room to lobby is also a way.Chang'an even wanted to report this matter to Nagoya Yamasaburo, a kabuki performer from Kamo's family, and asked him to persuade Mrs. Yodo... "Thanks to Okubo-sama, everything is progressing smoothly. Congratulations!" The waiter brought tea, Kato said.Only then did Chang An suddenly come to his senses. "Here are five silver coins, a gift from Toyotomi-sama, as a reward for your hard work these past few days." Chang An saw Qie Yuan handing over a pack of silver coins respectfully, he seemed to have fallen from the sky to the ground suddenly, a few silver coins, this is my current catty?He really wanted to throw the five silver coins out. Okubo Changan hastily bid farewell to Qiyuan. Just after he walked out of the meeting room, the gold nugget flashed in his mind again.The gold nuggets were left to rot, just thinking about it made people anxious.What a fool that child and widow are!But he never imagined that the gold nuggets he saw would set off huge waves in his future life. Chang'an put the silver coin that Xiu Lai had given him into his bosom, walked along the corridor to Qian Ji's residence, and met Rong Ju on the way. "What are you thinking?" Chang An, who almost passed Rong Ju, didn't notice her at all.After hearing the greeting, he came back to his senses and stopped.He saw Ami standing there holding a vermilion lacquer plate, and there was a paper package in the plate, which looked like a snack. "Where are you going, Bureau Rong?" "Is everything done?" "Yes. It's over, and I'm leaving today. Do you have anything to say to Chaya-san?" "No, no." Ami smiled and was about to walk away. "Rongju, there is something I want to tell you." Chang'an said, "Is this dessert for Mr. Toyotomi?" "Yes. It's a thank you gift." "Ring Bureau, Osaka is a strange city." "My lord means..." "There's a bit of eccentricity everywhere. Actually, I'm getting a cold from gold right now." "Fengchi?" "It's a cold, and I'm sick. This matter has nothing to do with you. What I want to tell you is that Master Toyotomi already understands women." "Is there anything wrong with that?" Ami asked scoldingly, "At this age, it's a natural thing." "No, I don't mean that. I want to say that the adults will not come to the lady because of this, and gradually become alienated." "Hey, you don't have to worry about it. Miss grows up fast too." "I don't think so. I think we should find a substitute for the young lady, what do you think?" "substitute?" "Before the astringent persimmons are ripe, find a ripe persimmon as a substitute. It is the best policy to let adults be lucky once in a while. Well, I will just tell you this and leave immediately. Please take care of yourself and take care of the young lady." After speaking, Chang An looked blankly at the sky and hurried away. Rong Ju tilted his head and looked puzzled: Chang An is really a weirdo.Is it possible to find a substitute for the young lady? Chang'an's words made Ah Mi angry and laughing at the same time.Unlike the samurai, Chang'an is good at calculation and has a clear goal.He cares more about the style and color of clothes than women, and his attention to money is even more surprising.In his opinion, no matter what, Xiu Lai should stay with Qian Ji, otherwise this would be a loss-making business. Ami breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Hideorai and Chihime lived far apart.She was worried that if they lived close to each other and met every day, it would be indecent for Xiulai to hang out with other women in front of the young Qianji, but if they were farther away, as the saying goes, seeing is not seeing, Qianji can be at peace grow up quietly.Mrs. Dian may be out of this consideration, perhaps, this fear is privately requested by A Jiang and his wife.Chang'an is so shameless and calculating. Ami seemed to have seen something dirty by accident, her lips were trembling with anger, and she walked quickly to Xiu Lai's residence. Osaka Castle is far from Okayama Castle.Just the corridor, the calculation is more than six hundred feet.In order to prevent people from getting lost, there is a painting of Sugito at the end of each corridor. The paintings in Hideyori's room are not fierce beasts such as lions and tigers, but puppies, rabbits, turtles, fish and birds.This childlike master seems to have become interested in women. Amira rang the bell.A servant boy came out in response, he was smaller than Xiu Lai, but he was quite handsome. "Yesterday, my lord came to visit me. In order to express my gratitude, Madam specially brought some snacks to my lord." The young man saluted solemnly, intending to report, "Please wait a moment." "You don't need to bother adults, just take your things there." "Please wait a moment." The servant boy turned and ran back along the corridor. At this time, there was the sound of a small drum, and when I listened to it, there was laughter from a man and a woman in the opposite room, which should be Mrs. Dian's residence.Ami was thinking about it, the servant boy trotted back again, "Young Master has something to ask you, please follow me." The corridor in the afternoon was eerie and quiet, the servant boy walked in front, and he could hear the rustling of his clothes. The servant boy opened the door, Ami looked inside, and saw Hideyoshi leaning on the table, when she heard the door open, she turned around.The room is about twenty stacks in size. After opening the door, you can see a spacious courtyard with green lawns extending all the way to the pool.The sound of the snare drum and the noise of the crowd seemed to be carried by the wind from the yard. "I'm tired of writing, come, sit closer." Ami respectfully served dim sum.After the servant boy brought it in front of Xiu Lai, he retreated to the door and sat down.Only then did Ami notice that the atmosphere was a little strange.There was no one else in the room except Hideyoshi.The next door was also silent, as if there was no one there.Thinking that Xiu Lai was surrounded by a large group of women all day long, playing and playing, Ami was a little at a loss.What made her even more strange was Xiu Lai's eyes.He was flustered and confused at first, but then he stared at Ami, his eyes seemed to be on fire. "Has your lord been practicing calligraphy alone?" Ami asked. Hidera nodded, still staring at Ami intently.Ami felt uncomfortable all over, as if her body was covered with bugs.These are not the eyes of a man, but they are far from the eyes of an innocent boy.These are the eyes of a distressed prisoner, full of emotion, as if about to cry, and the indescribable loneliness is hidden in the eyes, and it seems that they are desperately trying to drive away the loneliness. "You're here." After a long time, Xiu Lai said suddenly, with tears in his eyes, "Mother told me to go to her place, but I didn't go." "Are you unwell, sir?" "No." Xiu Lai shook her head, "I don't want to see my mother drunk." "Is there a banquet over there?" "Yes. It was a banquet held to celebrate Qianji's passing. I didn't go. Fortunately, I didn't go." Ami didn't know what to say.Teenagers at this age are extremely vulnerable to sentimentality and loneliness. "Have you seen the Lord of the World?" "Your Excellency, do you mean Taige-sama? I have met you. I have met you a few times at that time. The servant has served Mrs. Ushita." "You ever met me?" "Yes, at that time Master Taige often hugged you and coaxed you to play." "Oh." A faint smile appeared on Xiu Lai's face, "So the first time I saw you, I thought I'd seen you somewhere. I like you. I was about to send someone to ask your name, and you came here. It is the Lord of the World who is helping us." For a moment, Ami couldn't understand Hideyori's words.Could it be that the look in his eyes just now was looking back at childhood memories?But when she met Hideyori in Fushimi Castle, Hideyori was still a baby.He couldn't speak at that time, how could he remember what happened at that time?A Mi calculated in her heart, she was seven years old at that time. "What's your name?" Xiu Lai leaned forward and asked. "Slave Arong." "Arong? Good name. What kind of person do you think Mother is?" "Are you asking the servant girl what she thinks of Mrs. Dian?" Ami was a little confused.With her status, she must not make unreasonable comments on Mrs. Dian. "Don't you think mother is a selfish person?" "No, how come? Madam is extremely honorable..." "I had a fight with my mother." "Oh?" "I told my mother that I wanted to keep you by my side." "This..." Ami suddenly shuddered.Hideyori's words reminded her of Okubo Changan's absurd words: "This is a strange city!" But she never expected that Hideyori would say such words.She finally understood the strange look in her eyes and the inexplicable question just now. "Arong, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. What's wrong with keeping the person I like by my side? After all, I am the Minister of the Interior. My mother disagreed. If my father was still here, he would never have said such a thing." Wait for cruel words. Mother is so selfish!" Ami trembled all over.That's why Shurai was left alone in the room.But I just came to deliver things at this time, how could it be such a coincidence?He is the master of the city, and the master made an indecent request, what should she do?If she is a little careless, not only will it cause riots in the city, but it may also cause trouble for Qian Ji. "Hehe," Ami said with a smile, "my lord is really good at joking, and he said it as if it were true. The servant will be scolded for being late, so let's leave." She was trembling all over, and she was about to stand up. "Wait!" Shurai shouted without hesitation. Ami was stopped and did not dare to get up.She panicked for a while, but she couldn't lose the adult's composure and let him see the flaw. "What else is there for, my lord?" Ami lay down on the ground as if nothing had happened, "The servant is serving the madam. If you don't go back, the madam will scold the slave." "She dares to scold you?" "It's really just crying." "Oh, she's so capricious." "No..." Ami panicked again.At this time, if Qian Ji's impression in his mind is damaged, it will cause irreparable losses.But it is even more dangerous for her to stay here.In any case, Hideyori is a child who does his own way and knows nothing about the world. "It's because of loneliness. When I was in Fushimi Castle, the general and the young lady repeatedly told me not to leave Miss." She deliberately moved out of Ieyasu, but it still didn't work. "Arong, this is not Fushimi Castle!" Hideyori shook her head and said decisively, "This is Toyotomi Hideyori's castle. When you come here, you are Toyotomi Hideyori's people!" "but……" "It's the same for you. Which do you think is more important, Qianji or me?" This question is difficult to answer.If he still insists that he is Qianji's maid, maybe he will irritate this young man and make even more rude demands.A Mishen said: "Of course, the master of the city is the master, so it goes without saying that you are important, but my young lady is the wife of the city master." "Oh, I'm still important?" "yes." "I'm glad to hear that." "Please let the servant go back." Ami took the opportunity to ask, but Xiu Lai's words caught her unexpectedly: "I see, you are afraid of my mother." "what?" "It's my fault. I said just now that I quarreled with my mother, and you were embarrassed." "Ah... no, no." "Hmph! That's it. But it's also good, then I will often go to Aqian's, to see her, to yours." Ami was stunned and speechless.Okubo Chang'an's strange words turned out to be true, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. "That's all. I'll go to your place later." Ami didn't know how she left Shurai's room.Nothing went wrong, but it was frightening.The lonely teenager is dreaming.What would happen to him if she also became part of his dream?If you are trapped in it, you will be stuck in a spider's web, unable to move. "I'm going to your place!" Ami ran to the corridor, the voice seemed to be still echoing behind her.She ran to the entrance in one breath, and then heard the sound of snare drums coming from Mrs. Dian's room across the courtyard. For some reason, she suddenly burst into tears. Poor Shurai!Ami didn't think he was a wicked young man, but felt pity for this prisoner who was confined in the city.If he is not the master of this city, he must also be full of vigor.The prisoner believed that all people should serve him and obey him.He obviously didn't know whether he should ask other people's wishes, he was hopelessly unfortunate!The late Taiko's misfortune was because he was born in a poor farming family, but his son Xiu Lai's misfortune was because he was born in the glory of his late father.Will Hidera discover her misfortune? Ami's feeling towards Hideyori is completely different from the feeling she had when she first met Chihime.Chihime's back has a support as stable as Mt. Fuji, but Hideyori's back is empty.The care and love left by Taige became a heavy burden on him instead.Hideyori seeks love in infinite solitude.This longing was entwined with youthful desires, of which he knew nothing. Ami trotted all the way back to Qianji's residence.If it was a year ago, she would have hugged Xiu Lai and kissed his little face without thinking.But now... this is really a sad world. "Ring Ju, what's wrong? Your eyes are so red." The nanny who came from Edo asked her.Only then did Ami realize that the makeup on her face had been washed away by tears. "Did the people over there make things difficult for you?" "No, no. I'm going to touch up my makeup, and then I'll see Miss." Ami hurriedly returned to her room, and hurriedly touched up her makeup.Hideyori's lonely eyes kept appearing in front of her eyes.
