Pillars of the Wu family

The temperature in Deba country dropped sharply in autumn, and the days were getting shorter day by day, and the clothes on their bodies were thicker and thicker. The beautiful and splendid summer had left them time to enjoy the autumn. The days were running out. And Xiadu is busy with autumn harvest work. Taking stock of this year’s harvest is more important than fighting wars. According to the fast-track rules agreed by Yu Olympic, even if there is a war in this season, you should stop the war and go home for the winter. If it is later, you will miss your own autumn harvest. Let alone go, it is not so easy to go home after the first snow falls.

This year's climate is not normal. Repeated droughts and heavy rains have greatly affected Dewa country's agriculture. The drought is more serious and the hard-to-melt snow on the mountain supports it so that it will not be too serious, but there will be no losses. There is a slight reduction, and the majority of samurai, including Mogami, have encountered similar problems.

This is the first time that Mogami Yoshimitsu presides over the post-autumn harvest appraisal meeting as the governor of the family. The data in front of him really makes him feel embarrassed. Because of the drought, the grain production has decreased by an average of 25%. The entire territory of Murayama County and some parts of Mogami County are about 20 shi. A reduction of [-] shi means that there are only [-] shi. A reduction of [-] shi means that many local servants will not have enough to eat, and many farmers will go hungry and cold. I am afraid that the days will be even more difficult.

Because of the bad times, the supporting cast members such as Tendo Laizhen, Nobuzawa Mannobu and others are all moaning and complaining about the bad times. A good evaluation will be spoiled by this matter, Yoshimitsu Mogami Looking at the situation, there is no point in continuing to open it. We can only hastily end this inconclusive assessment meeting.

Walking in the corridor back to the castle tower, Mogami Yoshimitsu's brows were still unfurled.In recent days, he has always been preoccupied.The reason is that all the complicated things in the family made it very unpleasant for him to be the supervisor of the family.Ever since he became the family governor of the Mogami clan in the summer, he has only tasted the hardships of being a family governor. No wonder his father always keeps a stern face all day long and does not give him any good looks. This kind of thorny problem cannot be solved and forced out.

Mogami Yoshimitsu sat on the porch with his head in his arms, thinking distressedly: "This house governor is really hard to be!"

When he was in distress, a clear and tender voice came to his ears: "Your Highness, should I call you Shangxiang?"

"Huh? How did you think of this question?"

Mogami Yoshimitsu understood immediately.I accidentally listened to the corner of my sister and future brother-in-law, and was thinking about whether I should get up and hide carefully, when I heard the little girl's voice say: "Because the female officer quietly told Yi Ji yesterday that I will call your highness So, this seems to be Kira... the rules of the Kamiso Ashikaga family!"

Kira Yoshitoki took Mogami Yoshihime's little hand and walked under the red leaf tree, grabbed a fiery red leaf, and said with a smile: "It's okay! This house rule is not necessarily enforced, for example, your sisters in Kasuga Mountain I have always called Yu Your Highness, and Yu also likes this title very much. Yu thinks that husband and wife should be closer. It is not comfortable to always use honorific titles these days. In the future, Yi Ji just needs to teach the children the rules. .Don’t pay too much attention to the details of this title.”

"Oh! Yi Ji remembers it!" The pretty little girl nodded half-understanding, and let him take her little hand for a walk from the beginning to the end. This His Highness is very gentle and loving to her, Never say harsh words to her, always patiently listen to her talk about what butterflies she caught, what kind of petals she collected, and childish topics such as learning a few new words, never showing boredom or impatience .

The thing that made Mogami Yoshihime most happy was that His Highness took her out to play, to go boating on the Mogami River, to climb Mt. Yazuo to enjoy the Goshiki Marsh, and the strange mountain on Mt. Haguro. There is a magic conch hanging on the chest of the tin rod. It is very interesting to see her running away like a man-bear.

His Highness told her that those people were Shugendao monks from all over the world, and told her many strange stories, from the emperor of the God of God to the east, to the defeat of Takeda Shingen in Chuanaka Island, to Qin Huanghan in the Ming Dynasty Wu Tangzong, Song Zu, and even a great emperor named Caesar among the Southern Barbarians and other strange and weird stories.

Sometimes when he couldn't climb the mountain, His Highness would hold her light body and walk among the mountains and forests. In a short summer, he visited the famous mountains and rivers of Dewa country, and took her to Sakata Port to buy many things he had never seen before. Things, there are beautiful gowns and fragrant rouge, interesting windmills, and many interesting board games, making up for all the things she has never seen since she was a child, and she suddenly felt that this Highness was her own. Husband must be the best, even better than father to mother.

Although she knew that His Royal Highness would be her husband, it seemed that this husband was not the one her mother had said before. The young Mogami Yoshihime still didn't understand what love was, and she didn't know why her husband could be changed. When she asked about her mother carefully, all she got was a quiet smile.

Although her mother didn't tell her the answer, she could feel many differences from her mother's eyes and her brother's excited attitude. Even her father, who had been reclusive, didn't seem unhappy. It can still be seen that everyone is very satisfied with this husband.

When playing in the garden in the past few days, it seems that the maids vaguely mentioned topics such as "The Lord of the Township is powerful in the world" and "Genji's famous nobles". She remembered that her brother had repeatedly emphasized to her that this His Highness Her status is extremely noble, and she was married to be a concubine to serve His Highness well. The silly little girl even asked what a "concubine" is, embarrassing her smart and courageous brother for a long time.

Most Shang Yi Ji lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, are you Yi Ji's husband? Can Yi Ji give birth to a baby if you are Yi Ji's husband? I heard a lot of things that Yi Ji didn't understand. , it seems that you have to serve His Highness to have a baby, but Yi Ji doesn't know how to serve His Highness? What can I do!"

Ji Liangyi took her little hand and said with a smile: "Hey! Just listen to these things! In the future, when you marry, someone will teach Yiji. Don't think too much about complicated things now. Right now Yiji is the most important thing. The most important thing is to grow up healthy, eat well, sleep well, learn etiquette and culture, grow tall, and our little baby will grow up to be as tall as Yu in the future!"

It's hard enough for a young man as big as Kira Yoshishi to talk to a little girl who is only 12 years old and less than 1.3 meters tall. It can also be understood that the rules of this era are like this. When marrying Kirayoshi, the woman must be young and beautiful, and it is not his turn to marry the older ones early.

Moreover, it is normal for high-ranking samurai in this era to marry many principal and concubine younger than their own children. For example, Matsunaga Hideo was ten years older than Miyoshi Changqing, but married Miyoshi Changqing's daughter. It is not uncommon for his cheap father-in-law Numata Hikaru to marry a concubine who is much younger than his eldest son.

Kira Yoshitoki never thought of marrying the daughter of the Mogami family before, and he would not be idle and have nothing to do to accompany a minor to wander around. Only recently did he remember the allusion of Mogami Yoshihime, so he paid extra attention to getting along with this little girl, not only It was caused by thoughts that were different from this era, and it was also because he wanted to determine whether the most righteous concubine was the legendary "cruel and black" who would do something to his own son like a "black widow" s legend.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that this is not the case at all. Mogami Yoshihime is indeed a beautiful and cute little girl. Even if she puts on very ugly aristocratic makeup, she can't hide her natural beauty. The genes of the Mogami clan are all good and the most righteous Mamoru himself is also an imposing samurai, in front of a group of crooked melons and dates in Dewa country, he is definitely a handsome man in Yushu. The mother-in-law of Kira Yoshishi, Major General Ono, is a very attractive and beautiful woman. She gave birth to a son and daughter. very beautiful.

It is said that Date Harumune's appearance is average, and it is reasonable to say that Date Teruzong inherited part of his mother's appearance, but it is still far behind Kirayoshi. At any rate, he can be regarded as a handsome and handsome boy in Kyoto. Now Recalling that he was wandering around the capital and was not abducted by the monks of the southern capital Beiling and the five mountains and five temples to practice the Taoism. It was his luck.

After getting along with each other for a summer, Kira Yoshitoki also gradually figured out the character of this little girl. Mogami Yoshihime is a silly little girl. Not only is she innocent and innocent, but she is also very reasonable. In front of Kira Yoshitoki, he praised how powerful his brother was, and Kira Yoshiki tried it a few times in a funny way, and found that the little girl just worshiped his brother, which is probably a bunch of strange theories that Mogami Yoshimitsu said when he was a child Fudge live.

But now she has another object of admiration, and that is the husband of Yoshitoki Kira, because he is the husband of Mogami Yoshihime, and he also defeated her own father and "the strongest" brother Mogami Yoshimitsu, and was defeated by the way There are also daimyo people from all walks of life in the entire Dewa country. The little girl's world view has not yet fully formed. She has only spent time in the palm-sized Yamagata Castle since she was a child, either catching butterflies or watching clouds. Her carefree childhood.

If Yoshishi Kira hadn't intervened, her fate might have followed that trajectory to marry Date Huizong, give birth to a one-eyed son for Date's family, and then be framed by her heartless son, splashing all over her body. Dirty Water endured 300 years of unjust injustice and became a "poisonous woman" who was even more "ruthless" than Tomiko Hino. (To be continued..)

ps: Mogami Yoshihime was miserably hacked by Date Masamune. I won’t talk about the specific black history. If you are interested in reading, Ume can post some Japanese materials.
