I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Anything I can help, I will help!"

"Then I will remember your promise." Ogata said jokingly.

Although he said that just now, Ogata actually knew in his heart that he would have no chance to interact with Yishijianjian in the future.

Ogata, who was busy exchanging greetings and saying goodbye to Naosuke, did not notice that Isshika, who was standing behind Naosuke in an elegant posture with her hands folded in front of her body, was now looking down at her small pointe.

There was a slight sense of loss in his eyes.

Osaka, an unpopular izakaya

squeak

The door of the izakaya was slowly opened.

Sunlight shone through the opened door into this izakaya, which was dismal because of its poor shop location.

The business of this izakaya is so bleak that at this moment, there is only one middle-aged woman with ordinary appearance, who should be the proprietress of this izakaya, cleaning the table of the izakaya with a bored look.

After the door of the izakaya was opened, the proprietress of the izakaya stopped what she was doing and looked sideways at the person who opened the door. It was a young man with a grim expression.

"Hanruo, this is the first time I've seen you come here during the daytime." The proprietress smiled.

The young man called "Panruo" ignored the joke of the proprietress, but quickly closed the door, and then walked quickly to the proprietress.

"Go and tell Master Toyotomi."

Prajna said sternly word by word.

"The executioner Yidao Saiofang Yishi is in Osaka now! He has a lot to do with the Isshiki Sword Hall!"

After saying goodbye to Ogata and watching Ogata leave, Naoshu disbanded the team and asked the apprentices under their command to go back to their respective homes and rest earlier.

The team that set off from Yise Sword Gym this morning had nearly 20 people.

And now the team returning to Yishijian Gym is only Zhizhou, Rushui, and Yishihua.

Zhizhou, Rushui, Yishihua and their grandparents had just set off to return to their home, Rushui immediately asked Zhizhou with a look of eagerness:

"Father, Mashima Goro, where did you find such a powerful swordsman?"

Because there are no outsiders now, surrounded by his own family, so Rushui has no scruples when speaking.

Rushui has kept this question in her heart ever since she witnessed Ogata killing An Yun in an instant, until now is finally the best time to ask this question.

"Xiaohua and I met by chance when we were traveling in East Japan." As soon as Rushui's voice fell, Naoki said without thinking.

"Why does he always wear a bamboo hat and a face scarf?" Ru Shui asked, "Is he dressed like this because of some injury on his face?"

"No, it's just because he likes to dress up like this." Zhi Zhou lied without blinking.

"So that's how it is." Ru Shui nodded gently while listening carefully.

There was a thoughtful light in his eyes.

After asking this question about the appearance of "Mashima Goro", Rushui was silent for a moment, then frowned, and switched to a new topic:

"This year's big test match is really terrible"

"Well, yes." Zhizhou sighed lightly, and echoed, "There is such a powerful master in the Yuanming Pavilion, Yagi seems to be a different person."

"Indulging his disciples to humiliate us, what good will it do him? It will only make their Yuanming Hall a target of public criticism"

"When I have time later, I will take Nanjo and Shimura with me to visit the Yuanmeikan in person, and ask Yagi face to face what is going on with him."

Zhizhou and Rushui started a conversation with each other about the series of changes in today's "big test".

Yishihua quietly followed behind the two of them without making a sound.

The steps of the grandpa and grandson were not slow at all. During the conversation between Zhizhou and Rushui, the three of them had already returned to their luxurious ashram with the plaque on the door of "Ono One Sword Ryu Isekikan".

Isshika's mother: Isshiki happened to be going to the western suburbs of Osaka today to visit a friend of hers, and she won't be back until tonight, so Isshiki and his family only have a few waiters left.

"I'm tired." As soon as he got home, Yishihua said to her grandfather and father, "Go back to the room and rest."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhizhou and Rushui to make any response, Yishihua strode towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

Rushui stood where she was, watching Isshiki's back in the room with meaningful eyes.

Naoki now also wants to go back to his room to rest for a while.

"Rushui, I'll go back to my room to rest for a while. Call me again when you have lunch." After finishing speaking, Zhizhou turned around and left.

However, before he had time to take a few steps away, he heard Rushui say to him:

"Father. I have something important to tell you. Do you have time now?"

Zhizhou stopped, turned his head, and looked Rushui up and down several times with a gaze that seemed to pierce Rushui's entire body.

"Come to my room."

"Yes!"

The father and son entered Naoki's room one after the other.

As soon as Rushui who was walking behind closed the door, he immediately asked Zhizhou anxiously:

"Father, have you seen his real face? What does he look like?"

"And father, are you familiar with Mashima Goro? How is his character? Is he married?"

Rushui spat out a series of questions at Naosuke like a cannonball.

Zhi Zhou seemed to have expected that Rushui would ask him these questions a long time ago, while listening to the questions Rushui asked him with a calm expression, he went to the window and sat cross-legged.

"Rushui, do you intend to let Master Mashima marry our little flower?"

"Hahaha" Rushui let out a few dry laughs with a bit of embarrassment, "As expected of my father, you have seen through my small thoughts."

"Father, you also know that Xiaohua is 21 years old this year."

When he said this, Rushui frowned as if he was vomiting some bitterness, and sighed heavily.

"The daughters of other families already have a toddler when they reach Xiaohua's age."

"I can't count how many good boys we've recommended to her and she's turned them down."

"Her vision is really too high, saying that I only like men with strong swordsmanship."

"I recommended some boys who are quite accomplished in swordsmanship to her, but she said that she doesn't like these boys. I really don't know what she wants."

"Because of Xiaohua's marriage, my eyebrows are almost turning white."

"After another 2 or 3 years, when Xiao Hua turns 23 or 24, not many people will be willing to let their son marry such an older girl."

"And now a man who is about the same age as Xiaohua and possesses extremely powerful swordsmanship appears."

"Don't Xiaohua like people with strong swordsmanship? Isn't Mashima-sama suitable? In terms of swordsmanship strength, I feel that there may be no one in Osaka who can compete with Mashima-sama!"

"And, more importantly, I think Hana has a good relationship with that Mashima-sama."

"During the big test just now, I kept seeing Hana talking to Mashima-sama."

Ru Shui became more and more excited as she talked, her eyes almost burst into light.

"I also guessed that Xiaohua, who never wore makeup before, suddenly put on makeup today, maybe it was because of that Mashima Goro, in order to dress herself up in front of Mashima Goro."

"If Mashima-sama has no problem with his appearance and personality, and Mashima-sama is not married, then I think it will be good to match Mashima-sama and Hana together"

Rushui was speaking impassionedly, when Zhizhou suddenly waved his hand to signal him to be quiet.

"Okay, stop talking."

Zhi Zhou said expressionlessly.

"It is absolutely impossible for Hana to marry Mashima-sama."

Ru Shui was taken aback: "Why?"

"The reason is simple, Mashima-sama is already married and has a beautiful wife."

Naoki's simple words made Rushui's face change: "Master Mashima is already married?"

"Well, that's right. And according to my observation, he and his wife have a very good relationship." Naoki turned his head and stared at Rushui, "Rushui, can you tolerate the women of our Isshiki family being someone else's little girl?" Concubine?"

"Of course I can't tolerate it anymore." Rushui said in a deep voice.

Ancient Japan, like ancient China, practiced the system of "monogamy and multiple concubines". As long as you have money, you can marry as many concubines as you like, but you can only have one wife.

However, because the financial situation of the samurai is generally terrible now, even many daimyos who are entrusted to one place are so embarrassed that they have to borrow money from businessmen, and many middle and low-level samurai are so poor that they can't even get a wife, so "monogamy and multiple concubines" are generally associated with Samurai missed.

Therefore, the biggest beneficiary group in Japan from the system of "monogamy and multiple concubines" is actually those businessmen who are extremely rich.

You samurai can't even get a wife, and we can sleep with several wives every night. This is one of the most common words used by businessmen to mock samurai.

The "concubine" in ancient Japan is the same as the "concubine" in ancient China, and its status in the family is much lower than that of "wife".

The news that the concubine of a certain family was treated coldly by his wife and mother-in-law, and his life was miserable, can be regarded as endless.

Because of the low status of concubines, many families with relatively good backgrounds do not allow their women to be other people's concubines.

And the Isshiki family happens to be this kind of family.

"Oh" Rushui sighed heavily, "It's such a pity. I was thinking that I finally met such an excellent man who is expected to be my son-in-law. Since that Mashima-sama has already married a wife, then this matter can only be done. Let it go. Huh? Father, what's the matter?"

Rushui saw Naoki standing up slowly.

"Rushui, if you don't have anything else to tell me, go and do what you need to do."

"I'm going to have a good talk with Xiaohua about some things now."

Yishihua said just now that she was going back to her room to rest, but in fact she was not resting at all after she returned to her room.

After returning to the room, she first took off the socks she didn't like to wear, then knelt and sat by the window, looking thoughtfully at the sky outside the window.

Looking at the sky, she was lost in thought, when a sudden sound outside the door interrupted Isshiki's thoughts.

"Little flower."

It was Naoki's voice.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"Is it convenient for me to go in now?"

"Now? Come in."

Naoki opened the door and walked slowly into the room.

"Grandpa, is something wrong?"

"Xiaohua." Zhizhou sat cross-legged in front of Yishihua, "I just said that you have a crush on that adult, right?"

Although he said "Isn't it?", Naosuke's sentence didn't have the tone of an interrogative sentence at all, and some only had the tone of an affirmative sentence.

Isshiki is not an idiot either, she naturally knows who Naoshu is referring to by "that adult".

As soon as "I" Zhizhou finished speaking, Yishihua showed a little flustered look, and her small mouth opened slightly.

It seems to want to subconsciously say something.

But as soon as he opened his mouth and uttered the word "I", Yishihua stopped.

After pausing for a while, the panic on Yishihua's face slowly dissipated.

He returned to his usual expressionless face.

"Grandpa, you're wrong." Isshika said calmly, as if she was talking about something trivial, "I don't have a good impression of that adult."

Isshiki paused again.

Then he said word for word:

"I like that adult very much."

It seems that Naoki didn't expect Isshika to answer like this, so he showed surprise.

"You only spent a few days with that lord, right? When did you fall in love with that lord?"

"I don't know. I only know that when I came back to my senses, I found that as long as that adult talks to me, I will be very happy."

"Grandpa, I didn't expect you to have such a quick mind."

Isshiki used a very rare half-joking tone.
