Chapter 121: The Messenger
There were too many things, and it was already noon after Soji Tsukawa had dealt with it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Soharu Tsugawa returned to Lord Yashiki, and Yukihime and Ran were already waiting for him to return.
"Your Highness, you're back!" Xue Ji and Xiao Lan hurriedly said.
Since both of them were pregnant, Tsugawa Soharu resolutely did not allow them to salute. Speaking of which, Xiaolan's is four months pregnant, and Xue Ji is also three months old. If the expected date of delivery of the two is not unexpected, it will probably be around March to April next year, and it is still more suitable for newborns at the beginning of spring.
"Well, I'm back." Soji Tsugawa nodded, "What are you going to eat at noon today?" ”
"Fish, of course, and some vegetables." Xiaolan said with a smile.
The maid on the side took the coat handed over by Soji Tsugawa and stepped aside, Soji Tsugawa sat down and said, "Why is it a fish every day." "To be honest, Soharu Tsugawa has recently felt like he's almost vomiting after eating fish. It's fish every day, and it's fish every day.
Of course, these are also related to the output of the Tsugawa family, and the territory of the Tsugawa family, Senhoku-gun, is inland. All that is produced is rice, and there are already some other crops. However, in general, it is still mainly rice.
In addition, the Tsugawa family has rivers such as the Kusaki River, Kakukin River, and Omono River in the territory of the Tsugawa family, so fishing is also a daily life skill and a means of earning a living for some lords.
"Doesn't Your Highness like to eat fish?" Yukihime asked puzzled.
"It's not bad to change the taste once in a while," Soji Tsugawa said with a wry smile, "Didn't the real guard send a mountain whale some time ago?" (Mountain whale: refers to a wild boar.) At that time, the "noble" samurai or nobles did not eat meat, except for fish. Of course, some special meats, such as wild boar, wild deer, etc., have another name instead of the original name. )
"Let the real soldiers .......... in two days," Soji Tsugawa suddenly fell silent in the middle of speaking, "Just eat fish, fish is not bad." After saying that, Soji Tsugawa began to eat.
"Hi" Seeing that Tsugawa Soji was not in high spirits, Xue Ji and Xiaolan looked at each other and replied helplessly.
After finishing his meal, Soharu Tsugawa was resting in the small courtyard inside the lord's house.
Soharu Tsukawa's yashiki was built behind the castle tower, and the area is not too large. There is a courtyard in the middle with some trees and flowers. On the edge of the courtyard is the lobby, and behind the lobby is the bedroom of Soji Tsugawa, and on both sides of the bedroom are ordinary residences.
In addition, on both sides of the courtyard are the study and the warehouse, which are connected by a porch, and behind the warehouse is the kitchen and the servant's room. The whole house looks a little compact, but Soharu Tsugawa is still quite satisfied. This lord Yashiki was the residence of the Tsugawa family, and Tsugawa Soji had considered renovating it in recent years, but now was the critical period for the construction of the territory, so Tsugawa Soji gave up this plan to "waste" money.
"My lord, the envoy sent by the top family of Yuzhou Exploration Question." At this time, Takahashi Koke came to Tsugawa Soji's side and said.
"Mogami House?" Tsugawa Soji asked puzzledly, "The family doesn't have any friendship with the Mogami family, why did you suddenly send an envoy?" ”
"Who's coming? Where is it now? Soji Tsugawa then asked.
Takahashi replied, "The person who came is the highest family, and the people are the most righteous and prosperous, and they are already waiting in the castle tower." ”
"Yoshimo Mogami? I haven't heard of it.,The best NB is a little bit of Yoshimitsu.,Others really haven't heard of it.。 Soharu Tsugawa thought to himself.
"Okay, Your Highness will go to the castle tower."
........
"The lord has arrived!" When Soji Tsugawa came to the castle tower, the Takahashi family next to him hurriedly shouted. The ashigaru standing around hurriedly saluted, which made Tsugawa Soji very happy in his heart, this is power!
After Tsugawa Soji sat down, a samurai sitting in the hall hurriedly straightened his posture and saluted, "In the lower motogami family, everyone is the most upright and rich, and I have seen Tsugawa-sama." ”
"Lord Yifan is very polite." Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "I don't know why Lord Yoshigeru came this time?" Tsugawa Soji asked straight to the point, after all, the Tsugawa family and the Mogami family had never had contact before, and the sudden arrival of the Mogami family surprised Tsugawa Soji.
"I'm here to convey the kindness of my family to Lord Tsugawa on behalf of the head of the family," Yoshihiro Mogami said with a smile, "In addition, my family has given 10 war horses to your family, and I hope that your two families can get along in harmony in the future." ”
Tsugawa Soji smiled and said, "Since it was given by the supreme family, this family will pay homage." "Soji Tsugawa is not welcome, how can you refuse such a thing sent to the door?
Then, Soji Tsugawa said, "My family's territory is far from yours, but I don't know why you want to be friendly with your family?" Please also ask Lord Yifan to solve your doubts. This is the question in Tsugawa's mind, and it is said that ordinary diplomatic goodwill is of course normal.
But the distance between the Mogami family and the Tsugawa family is not close, not to mention the various branches of the Mogami family in the middle, let's just say that the Onodera family is a big mountain next to the two families, so Tsugawa Soji is very puzzled why the Mogami family is friendly with the main family, which is completely meaningless.
After listening to Soji Tsugawa's question, Yoshihiro Mogami replied with a smile, "Lord Tsugawa doesn't have to worry too much, my family just wants to be friends with you, and has no other intentions. ”
Tsugawa Soji secretly laughed and said, "What about the deceitful ghosts, this is, nothing to do, courteous and hardworking, either treacherous or thief." ”
"I wanted to have a sincere fellowship with you, but Lord Yifan seems to have a bad heart, so we have nothing to talk about." After Soji Tsugawa finished speaking, he pretended to leave.
Mogami Yoshihiro hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Tsugawa-sama, slow down!" ”
After seeing Soji Tsugawa sit down again, Yoshihiro Mogami explained the reason for the envoy to the Tsugawa family.
"Tsukawa-sama should know that our Okuwa region is not stable this year." Mogami Yoshihiro said, "First of all, Mutsu guarded the Date Minoru Hall and was imprisoned by his son Harumune, and then civil strife broke out in the Date family. And this civil strife swept through the whole of Minami Ouyu. ”
"Mogami, Osaki, Soma, Ashina, Nihonmatsu, Tamura, Ishibashi, Ouchi, Watari, Kokubun, etc., basically all the forces of Minami Okuba were swept in." Mogami Yoshihiro said excitedly, "This turmoil is bound to last for a long time, and the family has already decided to become independent, so I will come to your envoy to carry out diplomatic goodwill." ”
Tsugawa Soji said with a smile, "The top family is a Yuzhou exploration topic, and this family is just a small wealthy family, and I am really flattered to be able to get your favor." ”
"Lord Tsugawa has been able to develop the Tsugawa family into the current overlord of Senhoku County in just 3 years, and your talent has always been respected by the lord of the family, so I can't wait to have a long talk with Tsugawa Palace." Yoshihiro Mogami said with a smile.
Tsugawa Soji didn't answer, and he didn't believe Tsukawa Soji at all for Yoshigeru Mogami's compliment. However, the independence of the Mogami family, Tsugawa Soji is quite concerned. This is a testament to the decline of the Date family, the overlord of the Tsutsu Otsu, and the arrival of a chaotic era in the Ou region.
