Warring States Survival Guide

Chapter 156 No no no no no, not you!
As for the "most beautiful woman in Owari", Nohara didn't take it seriously. This was obviously a political marriage, and appearance and personality were not important at all. Even if the Inu Princess really looked like a Shiba Inu, no one would care. But this was a big deal after all. Oda Nobunaga would never let her sister come to Shinwantsu alone. She would definitely be accompanied by a large group of people. It was hard to say whether it was good or bad to let such a group of people enter the "Nohara family".

Moreover, although he had considered that he could not return to the modern era and needed to get married in this era, the person he wanted was not Oda Nobunaga's little sister...

This matter was too big, and he did not dare to agree for the moment. He began to talk about other things and refused to give a direct answer. Niwa Nagahide and Maeda Toshiie had no idea what to do with him, but at the same time they could understand him to some extent. They knew that he needed time to think about such a big matter, so they could only be patient and start chatting with him about this and that, talking about past acquaintances, and then they dispersed to rest and talk again tomorrow.

After Yuanye settled them down, he walked around the room and pulled the millstone for a while. Aman smelled the food and came in. As soon as he entered the room, he asked in surprise: "I heard that Oda Nobunaga wants to marry his sister to you?"

Yuanye was not surprised that she was well-informed. His family had a strong ability to keep secrets. She was just a special case - she was the head of the Wanjin East Factory, and she had someone among the maids.

Yuanye nodded casually and continued to turn the millstone, and asked her casually: "What do you think we should do about this?"

The lord wants to marry a wife, and Aman also attaches great importance to this matter. He sits down with his arms folded and legs crossed, thinking for a while with his eyebrows bent, and then he said thoughtfully: "I think it's okay. Although Oda Danmazawa's family is not high-ranking and he is a country bumpkin, but my lord, you have an unknown origin and can only be regarded as a wandering samurai. You are not as decent as a country bumpkin. Marrying the daughter of Oda Danmazawa's family is also a good match.

And you don't want to be enemies with the Oda Danmasatada family, right? Marriage is a good choice, so that we can continue to ship goods from Atsuta Port, and there is no other place nearby that can take in so much of our goods. "

Yuanye nodded slowly. He had thought of these things a long time ago.

He is free at this stage, but still in the awkward state of being surrounded. If he wants the economy to recover and continue to develop, if he wants to be able to conveniently purchase raw materials and sell finished products, it is difficult to leave the support of Owari. He is still highly dependent on the Atsuta-Shimazu-Saicho-Seto Inland Sea trade line controlled by Oda Nobunaga.

So he was prepared to spend a lot of money, such as promising to give Oda Nobunaga a large amount of gunpowder, or giving him a big discount on future purchases of gunpowder in order to restore the relationship. But if he married his sister, he could save these things.

But what about Aqing?
He actually likes A-Qing a little bit. A-Qing's personality seems cold at first glance, but gentle when you look closely. She doesn't talk much, has a stable mood, and is also pretty. Now she has a princess cut hairstyle, which is particularly in line with his aesthetic taste.

Her height was also suitable for him, and according to his estimation, as long as he made a little more effort and let Qing continue to maintain a balanced diet, and secretly asked Yayoi to stew bone soup for her when she had nothing to do, she would probably grow to over 1.6 meters - this height was average in modern times, but it was really rare in medieval Japan, and she was one in a million even among modern women with these two qualities, so he couldn't help but like her.

What's more, he and Aqing have been living and eating together for more than two years, and Aqing has saved his life. It is impossible to say that there is no emotional accumulation between them.

The reason why he hadn't said it was simply because Ah Qing was too young, probably only about thirteen years old. As a modern man, he was too embarrassed to express his feelings before that. He always felt that this was a bit weird. He wanted to wait another year or two, at least until Ah Qing was sixteen years old, and then have a good talk with her.

It should be fine. Children of this era mature precociously. He vaguely feels that Aqing treats him differently from others, even better than to the second-hand donkey and the calf horse in the family. Maybe he also has a good impression of him and has some special feelings for him.

As a result, now a little sister of Oda Nobunaga suddenly appeared. If he chose to marry her for the development of his territory, he always felt a little sorry for Aqing's kindness, and felt a little ashamed in his heart.

He was deeply influenced by Meng Ziqi's father when he was young, and he also wanted to be a person like Meng Ziqi's father, attaching great importance to things that seemed insignificant to others. He pulled the mill twice more, sat down cross-legged and sighed, but still couldn't make a decision - if he didn't let Aqing down, Oda Nobunaga would definitely be ashamed and angry, and might really come to beat him, and now Shinwanjin could hardly support another big battle.

Aman looked at him frowning and thinking hard, and couldn't understand what he was thinking at all - what is this guy thinking about, why wouldn't he want a wife for free?
She waited for a moment and seeing that Yuanye didn't say anything, she began to think about something and her eyes gradually moved to his lower body.

She looked at him for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was true. She couldn't help but crawl over to him and pulled him hard. She pulled him crookedly and whispered in his ear, "My lord, our relationship is special now. We are a family. That... there are some things you really don't need to hide from me. Are you really not capable of that?"

"What's wrong?" Yuanye didn't react for a moment, but immediately followed Ah Man's gaze and looked at his waist and hips. After a moment, he finally reacted and couldn't stand this insult. He said angrily, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long! There's nothing wrong with my body! My body is very good, and it has all the functions it should have. There is absolutely no defect!"

"Really?" Ah Man raised his eyebrows, still with a look of doubt in his eyes, but immediately said seriously, "My Lord, you really don't have to hide it from me. I will keep it a secret for you and also help you find a solution."

If Yuanye really didn't have that ability, and the doctor couldn't heal himself, she could go to Kyoto overnight and help kidnap a great monk from the Vinaya school to help him treat the disease, and maybe she could barely give birth to a child.

If all else fails, maybe I should consider adopting a daughter and preparing to find a son-in-law to carry on the family name - Ningning is a good choice. Kick Asano Nagakatsu out and change her name to Nohara Ningning.

She was very thoughtful and worthy of being the self-appointed patriarch of the Nohara family. But Nohara was speechless. He couldn't take off his pants to prove to this wild child that he was definitely a normal man. He could only push her away and emphasized again: "It's okay if I say it's okay. I don't drink or smoke... Eat a balanced diet and exercise. My body is definitely a hundred times better than yours!"

A-Man was even more confused and asked curiously, "Then what are you hesitating about? Isn't it good to marry a wife? There are so many benefits attached to it. It's a good thing not to take advantage of it! And this is what you deserve. If you didn't fight with us, how could Oda Nobunaga give his sister to you? He would definitely use her to win over other local nobles."

Yuanye sighed, "I know all this, you don't have to keep repeating it." "Then why are you hesitating?" Aman was really smart. After asking, he suddenly realized, "You don't like Oda Nobunaga's sister. Do you want to marry someone else? Do you have someone else in mind?"

Yuanye nodded slowly, feeling embarrassed to say it was Aqing directly, mainly because... 22 years old versus 13 years old, adults and minors, this was really too much. If it were in modern times, he would definitely be dragged out and shot for five minutes.

Ah Man knew his nature. He would always care about some "rules" that others would not care about. He immediately began to guess: "Is it Endo Chiyo? It doesn't seem likely... Is it that little girl Ningning? It doesn't seem likely either. You have accepted her as your disciple, so it is obviously impossible..."

She stayed with Yuanye all day long and had spies all over the territory. She was very sure that Yuanye did not make a surprise attack on the Widow's Gate like Oda Nobunaga did. Yuanye's social circle was very narrow. He didn't like to go out on a daily basis and knew only a limited number of women. She didn't notice that he had special feelings for anyone and seemed to treat everyone the same - Yuanye was very cultured most of the time and had a very gentle personality and never even scolded people.

For example, once a newly selected maid was so nervous when serving food that she tripped and almost dropped the soup bowl on his head, but he didn't get angry at all. If it was another little girl who made such a big mistake, she would be beaten to death or suffer a living punishment, but he just smiled and went to change his clothes without scolding her.

Yuanye treated Endo Chiyo and Ningning in the same way, just as gentle and polite, but he was a little more serious when talking about business or teaching, and there was no other difference. That...

Ah Man couldn't help but lower his head and look at himself, his eyebrows knitted together, hesitantly asked: "Could it be me?"

Yuan Ye was startled and waved his hands frantically: “No no no no no no no no, it’s not you!”

A-man and Dou-dou-mei separated, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't her, as she was doing well in her job and didn't want to be Yuanye's concubine.

Seeing her breathe a sigh of relief, Yuanye also breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't imagine what it would feel like when he saw Aman for the first time every day when he woke up - he had always treated Aman as a buddy, and now he was sleeping in the same bed with his buddy with his naked butt... He simply couldn't accept it. Just thinking about it made the hairs on his back stand up. It was horrible.

He didn't dare to let Ah Man guess anymore, it was too scary, so he just threw it all away, no matter how embarrassed he was, he told the truth, "It was Ah Qing..."

"Ah Qing!" Ah Man was surprised, and his eyebrows stood up, "You like Ah Qing?!"

Yuanye nodded silently. It didn't feel so awkward to say it out loud. After all, Ah Man was a good friend! Of course, if he could go back to modern times and write his misfortune into a novel, this part would still have to be cut out.

"Do you really like Aqing? Do you want to marry Aqing as your principal wife?" Aman still couldn't believe it. She really didn't see it at all. After all, Aqing was a very hard person to beat. She didn't talk much to Yuanye. Yuanye was not a talkative person either. She felt that although the two of them were always together, there shouldn't be anything wrong with them.

Yuanye had already confessed, so he had no shame and honestly admitted, "Not now. I plan to wait two years until Qing becomes an adult. Of course, I will also seek your and your grandfather's opinions by then. After all, you are her relatives."

Ah Man ignored him and continued to look at him in disbelief. After a long while, she said angrily, "My Lord, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but Ah Qing will never marry you as your principal wife. What the hell are you thinking about all day long?"

Yuan Ye's face changed immediately. The influence from Meng Ziqi's father and the constraints from his upbringing disappeared instantly. He raised his eyebrows and asked with a twinkle in his eyes, "Is A Qing engaged?"

"No, we were lowly people before, how could we have a marriage contract?" Ah Man said directly, "Are you planning to be laughed at by others by marrying Ah Qing as your principal wife? She is from a commoner family, and if you marry her as your principal wife, others will definitely laugh their teeth off."

In name, Qing and she are both retainers of the Nohara family, but this is just what she thinks. And when she meets the weirdo Yuanye, the outside world will definitely not admit it - female warriors have never been real warriors, this is common sense that everyone knows. Then if Yuanye marries Qing as his wife, it will be seen by the outside world as marrying a commoner as his wife, which will really become a big joke. After all, this is an era that talks about bloodline and bloodline.

The family name is the manifestation of bloodline, blood flow, and Aqing was born a refugee without even a household registration, let alone a family name or bloodline.

Even modern Japan is talking about this kind of family name and bloodline. If you don't believe it, you can dig into the background of Japan's famous politicians to see who their ancestors were. How many of them are not related to the nobility?
Yuan Ye naturally didn't buy it and said nonchalantly: "I don't care what others think of me!"

Ah Man was not fooled by his tricks and said nonchalantly, "It's up to you. You are very capable. Go ask Ah Qing if she is willing to marry you as your principal wife! I bet you ten strings of coins, no, a hundred strings of coins, that she won't agree!"

Yuanye stood up and tried to open the door, but his hand touched the door and he stopped.

Asshole, how could he ask such a thing? And Ah Qing was extremely stubborn. As long as his ideas were somewhat consistent with Ah Man's, he would definitely not agree. If we really bet, he would definitely lose.
