Chapter 2124: Ida Family's Financial Affairs

Yoshigin was dissatisfied because he knew that the relationship between himself and Date Masamune was not pure and there were too many interests involved.

Date Masamune could view the relationship between the two of them in a more utilitarian way. As long as she was willing to be a good mother of the descendants of God, Yigin could tolerate her being a little greedy on a daily basis.

But if she used her daughter as a political tool of the Date family, Yoshigin would turn against her.

You may not love your man enough, but you must love your daughter very much. This is Yiyin’s minimum requirement for the mothers of the descendants of God.

If anyone can't see this bottom line, Yiyin will really get angry.

Don't think that Yoshigin can't do anything to them. If Akechi Mitsuhide can raise Oda Nobunaga's daughter, then naturally others can also take over the big pie of being the stepmother of the descendants of God.

The Wu family values ​​family reputation over bloodline, and changing heirs is a common occurrence. If a fool gets a pie in the sky, there will be plenty of strong people to take it over.

Although Date Masamune was talented and ambitious, she was well aware that her position was somewhat delicate.

Compared with those old women who had shared the joys and sorrows with the saint, her union with the saint was too utilitarian. The saint was cautious in his heart of hearts.

Therefore, Date Masamune needed to get closer to the saint.

That's why Date Masamune was particularly wary of Matsukami Sae.

To describe it in modern terms, Date Masamune was afraid that Matsukami Sae would take away his ecological niche. Both of them were latecomers who were not loved enough by the saint in his heart, but enjoyed working with them.

You were not there when the business started, and only enjoyed the benefits after it became successful. Naturally, the ruler in your heart would have different standards.

Seeing that Yi Gin was about to lose his temper, Date Masamune started wiping away his tears first, acting extremely aggrieved.

“Tiger Ju is not my daughter, she is the apple of my father’s eye and His Highness’s eye.

My father thought I was rough in raising children and always did everything myself. From time to time, he complained that I was clumsy and in the way and asked me to stay away.

The saint is right, I am not a good mother, I cannot be a good mother."

Date Masamune already looked frail, and at this moment he was holding his heart like Xi Shi, which made me feel even more pitiful. He was just like Daiyu burying flowers, full of sorrow.

This aggrieved look immediately made Yiyin scratch his head. This matter seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

Just as Yoshigin was speechless and wondering what was going on, Date Masamune had already taken a few steps closer, knelt in front of the saint, and choked with sobs.

"Saint, please let me have another child. My father can take the older one as he pleases."

Date Masamune was indeed a man of great adaptability. His crying and making a fuss actually made Yoshigin laugh.

Yiyin scolded with a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can I give this child to you whenever I want? That's God's will.

Besides, your father likes your daughter, you should be happy, the harmonious relationship between you two still depends on this child, don't just say those messy angry words. "

Date Masamune's grievance also dispelled the knot in Yoshigin's heart. As long as Date Masamune was sincere about the child, everything else could be discussed.

The Ida family seems to be sensible and knows that the hope for the family's future lies in their children.

Date Masamune's father loved his child and pestered him all day long, leaving Date Masamune aside and feeling at a loss as to what to do.

Yiyin found it funny but didn't mind.

Date Masamune cleverly took advantage of this and dispelled the saint's concerns that he would go to Kyoto alone and leave his children unattended.

The Sasaki family is now at its peak. When Date Masamune gave birth to a descendant of a god, it would not only benefit her personally, but the Mogami branch of the Date family also hoped that this child would be able to maintain their own power and status.

As the bridge of communication between the Date and Mogami families, Date Masamune's father naturally paid special attention to his children.

Even Yoshimitsu Mogami came to visit from time to time, pushing Date Masamune, her biological mother, to the sidelines.

Of course, the child also played an important role in restoring the relationship between Date Masamune and his father and maintaining harmony between father and daughter.

Listening to Date Masamune nagging about the trivialities of raising children, Yoshigaki not only did not feel annoyed, but he actually enjoyed listening to it.

Torakiku was born strong and intelligent, and showed the blood characteristics of the descendants of Sasaki at an early age, which made his father Date Masamune very fond of him, and his aunt Mogami Yoshimitsu also loved him very much.

Date Masamune's jealousy was not fake. She had been neglected by her father since she was a child, and she had never seen such a scene before. On the one hand, she was jealous of her father taking away her time, and on the other hand, she was jealous of her child getting her father's love. She was really jealous of both sides and couldn't be more jealous.

It was obvious that Date Masamune was genuinely depressed, and Yoshigin watched her complain with a smile, and the atmosphere between the two became harmonious again.

Date Masamune saw Yoshigin's soft expression and said angrily.

"The saint only knows how to laugh at me, and has no idea how hard it has been for me over the past year."

Yiyin smiled.

“I see you’re enjoying it.

As the saying goes, a harmonious family brings prosperity. I am happy for you that you and your daughter can work together and have a harmonious relationship.

Now you have someone to take care of your children, someone to support you, and your life is going smoothly. Others can't even envy you, so who can laugh at you?

Besides, I know Yoshimitsu Mogami well. As long as you treat her sincerely, she will be the best ally of the Date family."

Date Masamune said this half-seriously, with a half-smile.

"Yes, the Saint knows His Highness the Greatest very well."

Even though Yiyin was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush slightly at this moment.

Yoshimitsu Mogami was the elder sister of Date Masamune's father and Date Masamune's aunt.

Although she and Yiyin did not go to the final step and stopped, she did let Yiyin experience the verbal sparring and unclear relationship.

Date Masamune made it clear at this time that she had guessed the little thing between Mogami Yoshimitsu and Yoshigaki, which made Yoshigaki feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing Yoshigin in trouble, Date Masamune didn't want to embarrass him too much, lest he get angry and lose his temper, which would be counterproductive, so he changed the subject.

"I heard that both Ii Naomasa and Tachibana Kanade were blessed with pregnancy. I should congratulate the saint, and the descendants of the Sasaki God have a new branch.

It's just that the Saint is short of servants, do you need me to stay and serve him for a few days?"

Yiyin shook his head.

"The Tongxin Secretariat has its own arrangements. Oyu is busy with affairs, so it's inconvenient for you to stay too long, right?

The relocation of Satake Yoshishige has been put on the agenda. The Dewa samurai families appear to be obedient on the surface, but who knows what they are thinking in their hearts?

I feel relieved that you are here to protect Ou."

Satake gave way to the country and Takeda took control of Hitachi. This was decided several years ago.

In the past few years, Satake Yoshishige and Takeda Shingen have worked closely together to deal with the samurai in Hitachi Province.

Satake Yoshishige was seeking wealth and saving money in preparation for leaving for Dewa Province to become a feudal lord.

Takeda Shingen asked for land and cleaned up the house so that it would be convenient to move and enfeoff his own people and annex and digest Hitachi Province.

The two of them got what they wanted and had a tacit understanding, but all good things must come to an end, and Satake Yoshishige had to leave eventually.

In fact, since this spring, Satake Yoshishige has been sending people to the northern part of Dewa Province to survey the land and settle his people.

Now that we are deep into winter, many things have been put into order.

Next year, most of the Satake family will relocate. The relocation of a large fiefdom of 400,000 koku is no small matter, and we cannot allow any chaos to occur at this time.

Whether it was Date Masamune, Mogami Yoshimitsu, or Sanada Nobushige, they all had to keep an eye on Ou to see if the local samurai in Dewa Province knew what was best for them.

Date Masamune said he wanted to stay at this time, just to act cute and show his importance.

Yiyin had heard it and calculated it, but he didn't take it seriously.

This seemingly weak little girl hides a ferocious tiger in her heart. She is both gentle and strong, and difficult to deal with. She always has to be comforted and given some sweet treats to make her work hard.
