Autumn is approaching, and there is no heat in Xianbei County. www.biquge.info It's the coolest season of the year, and this year's weather has been good. It is to be expected that this year will be another good year, if nothing else.

Kanazawa Township is located in the eastern part of Senhoku-gun, next to Iwamatsu Castle of Saigo Kicho. This is a plain area in the central and eastern part of Senhoku-gun, and there are several direct currents of the Omonogawa River, so the land is very fertile.

Originally, there was no castle here, but as Tozawa Masashige and others from the Tozawa family in Senbei took refuge in the Tsugawa family, this place was divided by Tsugawa Soji to Tozawa Masashige as a place of knowledge. Tozawa Masashige also built Kanazawa Castle in Kanazawa Township as his residence.

Orchid and Yukihime, protected by Ashigaru with a squadron led by Shinda Nobushi, arrived at Kanazawa Castle near noon. When the lord of the castle, Masashige Tozawa, heard that Yukihime and others were coming, he hurried out of the city to greet him.

"Masato Tozawa has seen the two ladies!" Tozawa Masashige saluted Yukihime and Ran.

Yukihime hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Tozawa, I'm afraid Xiaolan and I will have to disturb you today." ”

"What did Madame say, the two ladies can come to my Kanazawa City, it really makes the house shine!" Tozawa Masashi smiled and said, "The two ladies are also very tired compared to each other, please go to the house and rest for a while, I have already asked people to prepare food." ”

"Uh-huh!" Xue Ji nodded, beckoning Xiaolan and the others to enter Kanazawa City.

Kanazawa Castle, which was rebuilt by Tozawa Masa, was not large, with only Honmaru and Ninomaru, and the castle tower was extremely simple. However, Kanazawa Township is located in the hinterland of the Tsugawa family, so there is no need to build a huge one, and Tozawa Masashige only regards Kanazawa Castle as his own residence.

Not long after, Yukihime, Koran and the others were led by Masashige Tozawa to Tozawa Yashiki in Honmaru.

After Tozawa Masashige settled Yukihime and Koran and the others, he called his little surname and said, "Jujiro, go and invite Matsuhime and Taro to come." ”

"Hah!"

Matsuhime is the main wife of Masashige Tozawa, and Taro is the third son of Moritsuna Tozawa, but since Masashige Tozawa has no children, Masashige Tozawa accepted Taro as his adopted son.

After a short time, Matsuhime and Taro arrived in the main hall.

"Ah Song has seen Lady Snow and Lady Lan!" Matsuhime took Taro and saluted Yukihime and Xiaolan, who were sitting on the main seat.

Xue Ji hurriedly said, "No need to be polite! Sit down! ”

"Yes!" Matsuhime hurriedly took Taro to Masashige Tozawa and sat down.

Tozawa Masashige opened his mouth at this time, "I wonder why the two ladies suddenly came to Kanazawa Castle?" ”

Xue Ji hurriedly smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I'm tired of staying in Tsugawa City, so Xiaolan and I decided to go outside." ”

Tozawa nodded his head again, revealing an expression that had been the same.

Matsuhime, who was on the side, continued, "Two ladies, if you come out to play, there is no scenery to see in the area of Kanazawa Township, and it is far less pleasant than the scenery of Komatsuyama Castle." The mountains and forests around Komatsuyama Castle are beautiful, and the weather is very good these days, so why not go to Komatsuyama Castle to have a look. ”

"Let's go again if you have time, in fact, the reason why I came to Kanazawa Township this time is because Xiaolan is from Kanazawa Township, and Kanazawa Township is also Xiaolan's hometown!" Yukihime said with a smile.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Tozawa Masashige's eyes rolled and said, "Then Miki-sama from Yodogawa Castle is also from Kanazawa Township?" ”

"Exactly!" Yukihime replied.

"I see!" Tozawa nodded and said, "I didn't expect Mrs. Lan and Miki-sama to be from Kanazawa Township, so they seem closer!" I wonder if Mrs. Lan has any relatives in Kanazawa Township? ”

Xiaolan on the side said expressionlessly, "There is nothing left of the relatives, but there is an uncle in Jinze Township." But I haven't seen him for some years, and I want to meet my uncle when I go back to Kanazawa Township this time. ”

"My concubine and my brother lost both of our parents when we were young, and my uncle raised me and my brother alone. A few years ago, my brother and I couldn't afford to eat and wear, so we didn't have the shame to go back to Jinze Township. Now I have some ability, so I decided to come back to find my uncle's family and see how they are doing! Xiaolan can't help but feel a little sad when she mentions her childhood.

Song Ji on the side noticed Xiao Lan's strange appearance, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Then I don't know where Mrs. Lan's uncle's family is?" How about we go together after lunch in the evening? ”

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Don't bother Madame, my uncle's family is not far away in Kanazawa Village, although it has been some time since I left, but I still know the way." ”

"If there is anything that can help you, please let the two ladies know, and you will do your best!" Tozawa Masashige said hurriedly.

Such an opportunity to build a good relationship with the two wives of Tsugawa Soji Tozawa will not miss it, and now there are only these two ladies in the Tsugawa family. And it is rumored that Xiaolan is also deeply favored by Tsugawa Soji, although nominally Xiaolan is only a side room, and she only gave birth to a princess and did not leave an heir for Tsugawa Soji, but Xiaolan's brother is Miki Naogo.

Miki Naogo is an important minister of the Tsugawa family, not only in the position of the lord of Yodogawa Castle to control the river transportation in the middle reaches of the Omono River, but also the leader of the Tsugawa family, which is far from being comparable to Tozawa Masashige.

Since the death of Kuroda Iekane in the battle of Umezawa Castle, only Yoshikawa Hiroya and Mizutani Hisaharu have been left as the generals of the Tsugawa family. In addition to Mizutani Hisaharu, Miki Naogo is definitely the best samurai in the Tsugawa family.

So no matter what aspect you think about, having a good impression of Xiao Lanla is a lot of benefits for Tozawa Masashige.

After hearing Tozawa Masashige's words, Xiaolan said softly, "Thank you Tozawa-sama for your kindness, and if you need to, you must tell your lord." ”

While he was talking, a maid came to Tozawa Masashige and whispered a few words.

Tozawa Masashige hurriedly turned his head and said, "Two ladies, lunch is ready, please move to the inner room to eat." ”

"It's hard work!" Xue Ji and Xiao Lan said with a smile.

An hour later, Yukihime and Ran said goodbye to Masashige Tozawa and the others and went to Kanazawa Village in the east of Kanazawa Castle.

Looking at the familiar scenes along the way, Xiaolan couldn't help but feel a little homesick. Even though Xiaolan is now the wife of the side room of the Tsugawa family, Xiaolan's expectations for her hometown are still very strong.

When Xiaolan and Miki Naogo were young, they honestly didn't say it well, although Xiaolan's uncle Sasuke also took good care of Xiaolan and Miki Naogo. But Xiaolan's uncle is just an honest farmer, not to mention that Sasuke himself also has a wife and children. So with Sasuke's meager income, it can't make Yukihime and Miki Naogo live well at all.

In addition, Sasuke's wife has always had a bad attitude towards Xiaolan and Miki Naogo who eat rice, so Xiaolan and Miki Naogo are not comfortable at Sasuke's house. Often asked by Sasuke's wife to do all kinds of housework and menial work, sometimes Ran and Miki Naogo even thought about running away from home.

But even so, Xiaolan is still very grateful to his uncle, because Sasuke is really good to Xiaolan and the two.

Now Xiaolan and Miki Naogo can be regarded as "getting ahead", so Xiaolan decided to find her uncle who loved her in the past.
