Chapter 23 Chapter 23 The Heroine Sleeve

On the east side of Hakata Nishicho, Kamiya Zongzhan’s mansion is 13 rooms wide and 30 rooms deep. After the Kyushu War, Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked Ishida Mitsunari to circle this place specifically for Zongzhan.The mansion is built in an antique style, and there is a tea kettle that Zong Zhan likes sitting on the stove, and its sound echoes faintly in the room. In the fourteenth year of Tianzheng, when Zong Zhan came to Beijing, he asked the Guxi monk of Dade Temple to give himself a haircut.At this moment, he was bald and wearing a square scarf, sitting there with his waist bent and his back bent, his expression was like that of Kuroda Rushui back then.Sitting opposite Zong Zhan was the Shimai clan, a rich man in Hakata who was as famous as Zong Zhan.At this time, the clan was full of disappointment.Before Hideyoshi sent troops to North Korea, he sent people everywhere to find out the situation in North Korea; he also tried his best to remonstrate with Hideyoshi and resolutely opposed sending troops, but he was flatly rejected.

If it's just these two sitting opposite each other, it's fine.Because the two of them are not only the heads of rich merchants in Hakata Port, but also have an in-law relationship-the niece of Kamiya Zongzhan married the Shimai clan as his wife.There is nothing special about relatives gathering together.But behind Zong Zhan, there was a young woman sitting.The woman and the atmosphere in this room seemed extremely discordant.This woman is extremely beautiful, comparable to Mrs. Matsumaru, who is known as the number one beauty in Fushimi Castle.It's just that Mrs. Matsumaru thinks it's a bit rigid and blunt. This woman is gentle and delicate, which makes her even more charming and attractive.

"Miss, you can't give a reason, just say that you don't want to receive Mr. Zhibu. If you keep doing this, things will be difficult." Zong Zhan said to the woman. "Jibu-sama should have lived at my house. Taiko often stopped at my house when he went to and from Nagoya. What does this mean? It means that Shimaya is a merchant and I am a tea master." Hearing this, the woman immediately turned aside.Apparently, she was so bored with their conversation that she didn't want to listen to it. "As you know, Mori Hidemoto has been living in my house for a long time, so Master Jibu moved to the Shimaya house." Zong Zhan stroked his head and smiled wryly at the Shimai clan.In Hakata, people refer to the Shimai clan as "Shimaya" and the Kamiya clan as "Kamiya".

"Shimaya, I think the reason is that Zong Zhan doesn't understand elegance and is too rigid. Moreover, a man named Moto Ami Guangyue came from the capital. He speaks crisply and is living in my house now, so I can't blame him. If Saying that Zong Zhan is even more stingy than Shimiya, Zong Zhan really has no face to face people. Right, Shimiya?" The Shimai clan didn't answer, but just caressed his chin leisurely. "A long time ago, Shimaya was ridiculed by merchants in Sakai Port as a rigid and stubborn old master, but I prefer to have fun. But because of Hakata's reputation, I had to pay a large sum of money to the brothel and invite the lady who is known as Yanagachi Oiran Come on, I want you to serve Master Zhibu. I once said to the Lord boldly, please let this woman do all the hard work on behalf of Zong Zhan, but you ran back without saying anything. Doesn’t this mean that Zong Zhan hates Master Zhibu? ? Isn’t he just a stinky man, why can’t you deal with it?”

"That man is like a fool!" The woman turned around and said disdainfully. "So what? Everyone has their own temper, you have to get used to it. Why don't you tell me why you hate him, maybe everyone can find a solution." Zong Zhan continued to playfully coax the woman, "You said you hate him Him, right?" "Yes. I don't like him from the bottom of my heart." The woman winked like silk, not knowing whether she was angry or acting like a baby. "I thought there was no one in this world who was more scheming than me... Forget it, let's not talk about it." Zong Zhan said, "Shimaya, can't you do it? I have already boasted to Mr. Zhibu, saying this She is the number one beauty in Hakata."

"This is the retribution you deserve for your careless words." The clan replied with a straight face, "If it were me, I would never take the initiative to send his daughter. If he wants me, he can send it secretly." "You said that too? I'll discuss it with the lady. Miss, I touted you as Bodo's number one, but you came back with a pat on the butt. I will send the girl to go, but how can I tell the adults? Do you want me to say that you are Bodo's number one?" Second beauties?" "Then it depends on your own idea, old man. How does the slave family know." The woman pursed her lips and smiled, "Little girl likes a man like you. Let the slave family serve you."

"You are deliberately teasing the old man! Zhibu Shaofu is narrow-minded, and he must repay his grievances. It's just my Zongzhan's fault, but it's okay, but I will never allow the people in Bodo to be hindered. You are also chivalrous, for us, for the people of Bodo , how about you help this old man?" "Hehe, the old man is really eloquent, but it's useless. The little girl is nothing more than a girl. Since that person is so narrow-minded, it is even more annoying." "Miss!" "Oh, don't you have such a scary face. But, looking at it this way, the old man looks more and more like a strong man."

"That's all." "Really? Thank you, little girl." Shimaya, who had been silent all this time, laughed. "Shimaya, what are you laughing at?" "No no. I just think you're so pathetic that I can't help laughing." "Hmph, I'm really annoyed. Well, I don't beg you. But you have to tell me why you hate Jibu so much. Asking clearly is also a lesson. If you don't understand the reason, you can't choose the right woman. Tell me Miss." Zong Zhan said to the woman. The woman's face straightened up, making one feel that she was a different person from before, her face was full of sadness, and the cold air was pressing. "The servant will tell you, tell you everything..." The woman's words became more and more sad, "Master, the little girl was born in Satsuma."

"I know, you are suffering." "No, the old man won't understand the sorrow of the slave family. How can you know the heart of a Satsuma peasant girl with your rich clothes and food." The woman interrupted Zong Zhan, "I heard that the population of my hometown is now only 20%. Everyone can't bear it He extorted violently and fled..." "Alas! Years of fighting have really hurt the common people." "The little girl's family is still left... My family is full of daughters, and I am the eldest daughter. Needless to say, the five sisters have been sold one after another. The parents still stay at home. You will never understand their attachment to their hometown." of."

"Aren't all five of your sisters with your parents?" "Yes." The woman nodded and smiled wryly, "Even so, I don't blame those who are officials. These are all because of Taige's ambition...Of course, Taige didn't have malicious intentions, he was also for Japan. all know." Zong Zhan glanced at the clan in surprise, but the clan remained calm. "Actually, Shimadzu's important minister is also visiting Mr. Jibu frequently to complain to him." The woman said calmly. "Is this true?" Zong Zhan asked in surprise. The clan nodded slightly, "I heard that a group of them went there yesterday, and Shinna Ryoan, Machida Dewa, Honda Rokuemon and others talked with Jibu-sama for a long time."

"This year is really an eventful year. Not to mention the years of fighting, coupled with the floods caused by violent storms, it is really difficult for the people to live." "There are still a steady stream of refugees now." Zong Zhan nodded and turned to the woman, "Then what happened next?" "When Mr. Zhibu gave instructions to Shimadzu's important ministers face to face, the little girl happened to be there. In order to prevent the citizens from fleeing, Mr. Zhibu ordered them to collect a bucket of rice from those who wanted to sell their bodies. Think about it, old man, it's time to sell your sons and daughters How can the people still have rice? If there is no rice, they will be handed over. They would rather let the common people eat the soil than allow them to escape. What kind of morality is this? They also said that if there are still escapees, let Li Zheng hand them over. As a result, Lizheng had no choice but to strictly monitor the villagers and not allow anyone to escape... Old man, the little girl is lowly, no matter how lowly she is, whether she is a sailor or a husband, I am willing to commit myself to him. The little girl has such a I thought of entering your mansion. But I never... never thought of selling myself to a devil." Zong Zhan's eye circles turned red, he scratched his head, and said, "Oh, Mr. Taige didn't leave any good gifts." The clan closed its eyes, as if praying. "Knowing that there is no more grain of rice, but you still want someone to hand over a bucket of rice!" Zong Zhan sighed, and said to the woman, "You are also excused. However, if you come back for this reason, it is somewhat unjustifiable. You Say?" The woman hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Please forgive me, old man. The little girl has nothing to say, and there is nothing she can do." After finishing speaking, she regained her coquettishness just now, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you can say that Mr. I got out." "Get out?" "Yes. Before the adult touched me, he asked me with a straight face if there was anything wrong." "What's wrong?" "Yes, the little girl is in the Flower Street and Willow Lane..." "Oh, that makes sense. So how did you reply?" The woman's eyes were firm, and she replied calmly: "I said, if you are so scared, let me go back." "Haha...Of course he is scared. When you say that, Jibu must be speechless." "No, the old man was wrong. He sat there solemnly, blaming me for who he was!" "Oh?" "I wanted to answer that he is valuable and wants to rule the world on behalf of the Taige... But if I answered that way, I might be quite rude. But he reprimanded me for nearly half an hour." The image of the little man Sancheng shrugging and scolding the woman in the room can't help appearing in front of his eyes.Zong Zhan wanted to laugh.That's right, even women would hate him like that... Zong Zhan nodded. "Okay, okay, you go to the side and wait, and Shimiya and I will add up." The woman backed out.Zong Zhan laughed out loud, "I'm getting more and more hopeless." The Shimai Clan said, "I understand why the Jibu transferred to my house." Zong Zhan waved his hand lightly and said, "I understand too. He didn't want Master Maoli and Master Asano to know his intentions. It is estimated that he will move to Mingdao City in Duoliang Village soon because of the inconvenience of your family." "Mr. Kamiya even thought of this?" "That's right. It seems that the negotiations with North Korea are not going well." "Yes. At the beginning, I wanted to take a North Korean prince as a hostage. In addition, I wanted North Korea to pay tribute to rice, tiger skins, leopard skins, medicine seeds, honey, etc. every year. But things are far from that simple..." "Perhaps the news that the Taige is dead has been leaked." "It's okay to let the prince be a hostage. The only thing that concerns the face of the court is the matter of paying tribute, so I ordered the soldiers in the court to negotiate with North Korea several times. But even this matter seems to have been rejected." After the Shimai clan finished speaking, Kamiya Zongzhan lowered his head and pondered, "In this way, the world will be stable?" In any case, Kyushu is 30% of the world.But because of this war, the situation changed drastically.The confrontation between Higo Uto and Kumamoto is already very sharp.Uto's Konishi governor supports Mrs. Yodo, and Kumamoto's Kato Kiyomasa is loyal to the Beizheng Office.During the two conquests, the two fought to be the vanguard, and they refused to give up an inch in everything.Their confrontation and the exhaustion of the people made the Shimai clan and Kamiya Zongzhan suffer a lot, especially in raising military salaries and food and grass.Of course, these two families are not the only ones who suffer from exhaustion of the people. Mori, Kuroda, Nabeshima, Arima, Shimadzu and other big names all suffer from it. Among the troops dispatched by the great names in Kyushu, the Mori family is the most.Because the Maori territory spanned Kyushu and China, there were 32,000 people.Others are also overwhelmed.Shimazu Hiroshi 10,000, Kato Kiyomasa 10,000, Naoshima Naomi and Katsushige 12,000, Kuroda Nagamasa 5,000 Konishi Yukina, plus Tachibana, Matsuura, Omura, Zong, Arima, etc. , Only the Kyushu region sent out 100,000 troops. "All parties come to raise money and food, leaving us empty-handed. That's all. As long as the world is peaceful in the future, we will definitely be able to earn back. But if we continue to fight like this, what hope do we have?" Kamiya Zongzhan smiled wryly: "In your judgment, is there anything wrong with buying Jibu Shaosuke this time?" The Shimai clan quietly looked around.There is no one around, only the sound of the tea kettle can be clearly heard in the sixteen-story room. "Shenwu, what did Guangyue say?" "This person was Tokugawa from the beginning, and won the favor of Lord Taiko, but I don't like him very much." "He must have asked the opinions of the teahouse in Kyoto, the Naya in Sakai Port, and the Yodoya in Osaka before coming here, right?" "Yes. You don't know the man very well. I don't think much of him." "Why?" "He has always advertised himself as helping the world. This time he came here under the order of the Beijing Political Office to try his best to avoid conflicts. However, once he realized that conflicts were inevitable, he started talking nonsense, saying that disputes would arise sooner or later anyway, so it would be better to let them The sooner it happens, the sooner it ends." "He refers to Kato and Xiaoxi?" "No, I mean Tokugawa and Ishida." The clan was shocked and said: "This time is not as simple as the dispute between Taige and Zhizhi in the early years. It is difficult to decide which side to support for a while. If it escalates into a big war, those daimyos will become robbers who burn, kill and loot. The hard times will never end." "Is this what Guangyue said?" The clan didn't answer, just sighed and contemplated. "What are you thinking? You don't agree with Guangyue's views, do you?" Zong Zhan said with a serious face, "It is easy to destroy, but it is difficult to rebuild. The Taige finally created this peaceful world, but there will be chaos again." Warriors will only generate factions according to their own will and preferences, and even kill without any scruples.But businessmen who judge the situation based on their interests are different.Generals regard businessmen as greedy people, while in the eyes of businessmen, generals are cruel and stupid thugs.The vision of Zong Zhan and the clan is no different from that of ordinary businessmen.Both of them trusted Hideyoshi too much, so when they sent troops to North Korea for the second time, they even cried relatively. "What's wrong with you, Shimaya? The best way at the moment is to get Beizhengsuo and Jibu Shaosuke to reconcile, and then use them to ease the dispute between Kato and Konishi, that is to say, to eliminate the source of the dispute." "Mr. Kamiya, I'm really sorry, can you call that girl again?" "You want to convince her yourself?" The clan nodded heavily: "I think Guangyue's opinion is not unreasonable, Mr. Shenwu." "You want a woman to convince the Jibu?" "No. However, how the situation will turn out depends in the final analysis on Jibu Shaosuke's strength and talent!" "So, it depends on whether Lord Jibu can suppress the inner government of Edo?" The clan shook his head lightly and said: "It depends on whether the government can compromise with the inner government and live in peace. Otherwise, the government will take the initiative to provoke a war. Guangyue must have a keen insight into this point. If there is a dispute, the general situation is uncertain , although we are far away from Kinki Road, Kyushu may not have a peaceful life." "It makes sense." "The daimyos are already extremely poor. Once there is an accident, it will turn into an extremely terrible riot. At that time, not only Kato and Konishi, but also an unknown number of people will join the battle." "Okay, let's get down to business. Shimiya, do you want that woman to help us find out the true meaning of Master Jibu?" "Yes, we can use this to weigh the pros and cons, wouldn't it be great?" "I understand. I'll call her right away. You wait a moment." After speaking, Zong Zhan got up with a smile and called her himself. After Zong Zhan went out, the clan was alone in a trance.It was the end of October, and it was very cold in late autumn.Soon, Zong Zhan came with the woman. "I heard that Mr. Shimaya has something to say to the little girl?" The woman sat down with a smile, "If the little girl can be persuaded by the two of you, then I might as well kill myself." Although she was joking, there was firmness and calm hidden in it. "Listen first, don't say too much." Zong Zhan said with a smile.The clan's face was serious, and said: "Miss, I discussed it with Shenwu just now, and I think it's better to invite you back." "Why did you change your mind again? Why don't you let a humble woman like me go, what is your intention?" "Don't talk too much!" The clan sternly reprimanded, "If we just treat you as a prostitute, why do we deliberately keep you? What you said before, the old man wanted to cry." "It's just clever talk!" "You probably know a thing or two. Before the war started this time, I was ordered by the Taige to send people to North Korea to investigate the situation." "This servant is clear." "But later, I advised the Taige to prevent him from conquering the court, and I was almost killed in the capital because of it... You probably don't know much about this." "Seven years ago, the little girl was not in Bodo." "That's right. When I risked my life to speak out, it was also extremely tragic, just like you were filled with anger just now... But the battle lasted for seven long years." "The little girl doesn't understand these things. If you want me to go back to Mr. Jibu, I will die." "Listen to me," the clan said, "Once a war breaks out, the people of Kyushu will suffer a lot. But I know the result, but I can't stop it. My sin is too deep! When I was discussing with Shenwu just now, I just suddenly realized this." "What exactly do you mean?" "Miss, do you know that the Korean War is finally coming to an end?" "What does that have to do with the slave family? The slave family cannot go back to the past." "We feel that after North Korea withdraws its troops, there is the possibility of a civil war." "Ah?" The woman frowned, "This, is this true?" "Of course I won't lie to you. Not only the common people, but even the daimyo have been dragged down by years of war. Isn't this going to force people to death? Miss, if there is another war, what will happen to the unarmed people? ?So, we have to stop this war no matter what, and then invite you back again. Do you understand?" The woman bit her lip hard and was speechless for a long time. "Whether it is a farmer or a businessman, they are equally weak in the face of swords, guns and iron cannons, just like a small boat in the wind and waves. Even so, if even a life-saving straw floats from somewhere, we still Will do my best to catch it, must catch it!" The woman remained silent.The Shimai clan moved forward with a sullen face, "Just now I was just like you, worried and angry... But what's the use of that? I feel extremely uncomfortable, but it doesn't help. Now, I feel that I have to do something What's the matter, so, maybe there is a turning point. You said just now that this is not the fault of the Taige, nor is it just the lord's fault. Now that you can understand this, can you help us? When you refused just now, I I also feel shame from the bottom of my heart. Regardless of the pain in your heart, I forced you to send you to Jibu-sama. For myself and Hakata, I forgot your pain. I was too hasty and reckless. But if you agree, stop this There is great hope in a war, so the old man called you here with a shy face." After hearing this, Nu Yu seemed to relax a lot.This strong and pungent woman also had a righteous fire burning in her heart.She asked: "What exactly does the old man want the little girl to do, please tell me clearly." "Okay. That's it. We want to send you back to Lord Zhibu." The clan looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Let you help find out whether the Zhibu intends to start a war with Lord Edo Uchifu." .” "Master of the Inner Palace?" "Yes, in today's world, Tokugawa Ieyasu is the second only to Taiko." "Second only to Taige?" "Yes. The Taige is seriously ill, and the lord of the inner government is in charge of the world on behalf of the Taige in the middle of the capital. If the lord of the Ministry of governance is willing to get along with the lord of the inner government, there will be no war; even if there is some disturbance, it will not be a climate. It can be cured If Master Bu wants to replace the inner government to rule the world, Japan will fall into a sea of ​​misery again. If there is another fight, you know the outcome better than me. As long as the war has not happened, Kamiya and I will never give up our efforts. We have borrowed debts, so we have a lot of friendship. How, would you like to help us?" The clan's attitude was surprisingly earnest, which moved the woman greatly. "Girl, please be more compassionate." Zong Zhan interjected excitedly. The woman raised her face, her eyes filled with tears, "The words have come to an end, if the little girl refuses again, she will be ignorant of flattery. The slave family promised." "It's really hard for you." "No, I originally had the intention of dying. If the two of you force each other, I will die. If you hate my family, I won't be able to stay in Bodo any longer, so..." "No, no, it's all my negligence. Forgive me, I don't know your life experience." Zong Zhan took off his head, lowered his head in embarrassment, and scratched his temples, "In that case, I will send good news to your father Lingtang, hurry up Tell me the name of their residence." The woman didn't answer.It seems that she really wants to be strong, and she is definitely not a vulgar fan who only seeks her own self-interest.She continued: "After the little girl arrives at Lord Zhibu's side, she only needs to find out how Lord Zhibu treats the Inner Palace?" "Yes. Jibu-sama wants to move to Najima Castle recently, and we will arrange for you to go with him at that time." "Then..." A charming smile appeared on the woman's face, "My ransom money..." "Of course I will hand over a lot of money to your boss, Fushimi Yatohei!" Zong Zhan said hurriedly. But the woman said: "Little girl doesn't mean that. I just want to say, you don't need to pay it." "what?" "Since the slave family has decided to go to Mr. Zhibu's side, they will naturally ask him to pay... Otherwise, I would be too ashamed." "Oh?" Zong Zhan glanced at the clan, "It's amazing! Shimiya, what do you think?" "Don't worry. If you don't even have this bit of determination, how can the slave family take on the heavy responsibility?" the woman asked. "It makes sense, I really admire my men!" The woman gave the two of them a look of contempt, and laughed aloud, "The little girl has one more thing to ask the two of you." "Just talk." "I'm very likely to go to Beijing with Zhibu, please allow me." The two couldn't help opening their eyes wide, looking at each other in dismay - this woman is indeed the Hakata oiran.The Shimai clan could not help but slapped their thighs and applauded repeatedly: "As expected of being number one in Hakata, admiration!" Accompanied by the Shimai Clan, the woman left Zong Zhan's house, and suddenly fell silent again.She got into the sedan chair that had been prepared long ago under the eaves, without even looking at Zong Zhan who came to see him off.She felt painful and nervous: she didn't want to go back, but now she obediently went to Shi Tian's side, was this for the sake of those people who left their homes?If so, isn't Shaosuke Ishida Jibu the culprit?Just now I told Zong Zhan that I neither hate Taige nor the lord, and of course there is no need to hate Ishida Jibu Shaosuke.Ishida is also nothing more than a puppet being manipulated, but this puppet may stir up trouble again and ignite the flames of war... All the ships were out to sea, and the howling autumn wind blew over from the sea.The woman stared at the outside of the sedan chair, but only cared about her thoughts. Not only were the ships sailing towards North Korea, but the densely packed cellars on both sides of the avenue to the seaside were all empty, not to mention rice and wheat, not even miso soup, salt, clothing, and weapons were left on board and transported away.However, can those ships really successfully deliver everything to the soldiers far away in North Korea? It is said that from the end of last year to this spring, the officers and soldiers guarding Ulsan even ate up dead horses and mice, and ate white clay for many days.How can the soldiers not complain?But why are they keen on launching wars and putting the world in trouble? At the beginning of November, with the order to withdraw troops, all ships were assembled.There were more than 70 women among the boatmen.People thought that these women were arrested due to lack of manpower, but when someone came forward to ask, they actually replied that they voluntarily went to sea with Toba Kuki Jialong's navy. "When our men arrived in North Korea, they never came back. In order to find them back, we resolutely went out with the army. Even if there are only bones left, we must find them!" The women went by boat and braved the wind and waves.Can these ships really escape destruction and make it to the destination? There are so many misfortunes in the world, maybe in the end, everyone can't resent anything. The woman was born in Kamizumizu in Satsuma and Izumi Prefecture.When she was born, there were about fifty households in the village, but according to a letter from her father recently, the number of households in the village has dropped to seventeen households.Because the father would rather sell his daughter than leave his hometown, he is now the head of the village.But Zhibu said that if another person escaped from the village, Lizheng would have to hand over a bucket of rice.Hearing Sancheng's words, she immediately left angrily.But now, she has no choice but to return with the clan's company... Once the heart is full of hatred, the woman will become strong, no matter what method she uses, she will not feel pain, she will immediately hide all the hatred, and show her beauty... What is the sin that caused the war?Annoying confusion entangled her like a spider web, but the sedan chair had already stopped in front of the island house. The Shimaya mansion is very similar to the Kamiya Zongzhan house, with a front width of 13 rooms and a depth of 30 rooms, and the building is solid.Through the nine-foot-long earth-floor room, I entered the inside.Close to the seashore, a Huashe was built alone, which is the place where 30% of the buildings are located. "Leave without saying a word, it's better to go back without saying a word." Hearing what the clan said, the woman relaxed. There seemed to be guests in 30% of the places, and there were two pairs of espadrilles outside.The woman walked into the outer room, intentionally ignoring anyone, and sat silently beside the tea table. Around this isolated building, there are eighteen warriors guarding day and night, and a temporary gatehouse was specially built for the warriors on the left side.But this still doesn't make Sancheng completely relieved. I heard that he will move to Mingdao City soon, waiting for the return of the generals there. Sancheng moved here because she didn't want to live in Zong Zhan's house. The woman seemed to understand a little at this time: Zong Zhan had completely handed over the family business to his son and concentrated on tea ceremony.Tea ceremony etiquette does not allow knives, and 30% may feel uneasy because of this. "It's so unreasonable! Are you going to tolerate those behaviors?" Suddenly there was a roar of Sancheng, "Ijiin Zhongdong is the pillar of Satsuma, and Lord Taiko has praised him many times. How can Shimadzu Ryubo Yoshihisa respond to this kind of behavior?" Behavior sit idly by?" Hearing this, the woman knew that today's visitors were still Shimadzu veteran ministers, namely Ijuin Tadato and Machida Dewa.Zhongdong still couldn't stop defending, but he couldn't hear what he was saying. "Although I am in Hakata, I know all the things about the capital and Fushimi like the back of my hand. Is it true that Long Bo also frequents the residence of the Inner Palace? It's nothing to just visit the Inner Palace, and it won't cause criticism. But I heard that the Inner Palace also deliberately To visit Longbo... As a member of the Shimadzu clan, if you take the initiative to invite the inner government, things will not be so simple." As soon as she heard the word "Neifu", the woman immediately pricked up her ears. "Listen, the inner court doesn't take the young master seriously at all. He is an old fox who covets the world, and he has been criticized in private. But Long Bo took advantage of 30% of his absence to secretly associate with such a person. This kind of story is rumored Does it sound good to go out? It sounds like the Shimadzu family is also flattering the inner government... Do you think that doing so is worthy of Taiko-sama?" It seems that Yoshihisa, the brother of Shimadzu Matahiro of North Korea, seems to have contacts with Ieyasu in Beijing, and Sancheng is severely reprimanding Yoshihisa. The woman remained calm, poured the tea into Sancheng's favorite Yaobian teacup, held it high and high, and walked into the room respectfully.She had long been prepared to be scolded, and if she was scolded, she would immediately back down, but even so, at least she could see Sancheng with the veteran Shimadzu with her own eyes. In front of Sancheng, Yijiyuan Zhongdong bowed his head and obeyed his ears.Speaking of which, like Shimadzu, Zhongdong was born in a famous family in Satsuma.After the woman entered, Sancheng just stared at her, and did not reprimand her, probably because the conversation had come to an end. "I will convey my lord's intentions to my lord in a good manner. I am also at a loss as to what kind of consideration he has for interacting with the Imperial Palace." After Zhongdong finished speaking, Machida Deyu who was accompanying him also bowed his head in fear.It seems that the two of them feel ashamed of themselves once they are in front of 30%. "You'd better warn him sternly, for Shimadzu's sake, don't do things that may cause misunderstandings in the world. Got it?" "Of order! Then, please excuse me first." "The fleeing of the people must be dealt with strictly." Sancheng stood up as he said, and sent the two of them to the corridor.Although he has been reprimanded loudly, he doesn't seem to be in a bad mood.When he came back, he still held his chest up, picked up the tea bowl, stared at the woman and asked, "Where did you go just now?" "My lord, I went to Mr. Kamiya's house just now." "You can't go out without my permission in the future. What are you doing there?" "I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for the servant to serve you by your side. I hope that the lord will call this servant by her real name Axiu in the future. In order to discuss this matter, Axiu, I went to Mr. Kamiya's house." "Is Axiu your real name?" "Yes, it's the name my parents chose for my slave." "You said you were born in Summer?" "Yes. Satsuma's water." "Izumi? So it's Youhong's territory. When I was a public leader a few years ago, I managed it." As he spoke, Sancheng recalled what Ah Sode had just said, "Did you just talk about it?" "yes." "Does Zong Zhan have no objection to your idea?" "No." "Didn't it work out? You stupid woman." Zhibu put down the tea bowl expressionlessly, "Do you want me to clean up the mess for you?" "My lord's enlightenment!" Axiu was taken aback, and immediately put on an intoxicating coquettish posture.Sancheng is really smart, if she doesn't pay attention, her thoughts will be seen through and everything will be exposed.And once he gets serious, he will be annoyingly verbose.She then said: "This servant really wants others to call herself Axiu." "Don't worry. You're already a senior." "Oh?" "Just now I have summoned Fushimiya Fujihei and Ebisuya from Yanagachi and rewarded them with gold. If Kamiya is still worried about such a woman, how can it be decent?" It took a lot of work for Axiu to understand.For the sake of face, she once refused the ransom money paid by Zong Zhan, and she had already passed 30% of the money to the brothel... 30% was probably out of such considerations: if she accepted a woman sent by others, it would not be good for her to do things.Axiu couldn't help trembling all over: This person won't like me, right? "I've already touched your body. How can I let the woman who was touched by my Jibu go back to the brothel?" "what……" "You needn't be afraid. I don't have that much time for womanizing." "My lord is Taige's confidant." "Your name is Axiu? Weird name." "Slaves don't like being called Miss." "Hello, Axiu?" "yes." "Don't be too complacent. I thought you wouldn't come back, so I called Fushimiya. But you came back again. You are still a woman after all." Hearing these words, Ah Xiu's mind was in a mess and he was at a loss.Is 30% irony, teasing, or the truth?Just when Sancheng was worried that she would not come back, she came back again, so he was relieved?Or on the contrary, San Beng thought she would not come back, so he hurriedly handed over all the ransom money to settle the matter quickly, but unexpectedly she came back again, so he had to admit it? The day before yesterday, Axiu had committed herself to Sancheng, but later he reprimanded her for half a day, it was really boring.He was insolent, conceited, conceited, and condescending, and getting close to him was simply uninteresting.But it was this person who showed such calm and quick courage today... Thinking of this, Ah Xiu's heart twitched.Even though he agreed to call himself Axiu, he would never let her change her mind.At this critical moment, how could Fu Duo's oiran forget his housekeeping skills?When the opponent launches a fierce attack, if you confront it tit for tat, you will be defeated. It is better to simply show weakness and make people feel happy first, which is the best policy.She then said: "Axiu is not that lowly girl who just wants to serve adults..." While speaking, Ah Xiu suddenly felt that the little man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person.
