[Main Naruto] Little sweet girl is blackened

As expected, Senju Hashirama's death changed many things, the first of which was the Five-Nation Peace Covenant that he presided over and signed that year.Except for the Kingdom of Water, which is far away overseas, the three kingdoms of Wind, Thunder, and Earth are ready to make moves, and various small and tentative moves have never stopped.

The days when officials and nobles of the Land of Fire were leisurely and comfortable were gone forever, and the name Takeda Takuma was no exception.However, being busy is still busy. You should eat, drink, and play when you should, and the basic fun of life cannot be missing.For example, host/participate in a lively banquet.

Nobles always have many reasons to get together and have fun. They enjoy flowers in spring, fireflies in summer nights, climb mountains in autumn, and break plum blossoms in winter... In the eyes of common people and ninjas, they enjoy gatherings that are arty and sad for spring and autumn.

The climate in the Land of Fire is warm. Although it is winter and the first snow has not fallen yet, it is no longer suitable to go out frequently at this time.Samurai have rough skin and thick flesh, ninjas have chakra to protect their bodies, and civilians have been working for many years, so naturally they cannot appreciate the extraordinary sensitivity of pampered aristocrats to the changes in cold and heat in the four seasons.

Takeda Rin was ordered to organize a birthday party for his new mother, Mrs. Yukina, and it had to be decent and lively. The first thing to deal with was human affairs.It is not an easy task to get people excited to go out for a banquet in such a cold season.

"...Sir, are you worried about people or the weather?"

"Father's importance to Mrs. Schnee is so obvious. This is the first time she has appeared in front of the nobles, and it is an event like a birthday banquet. Due to emotions and reasons, everyone else must give this face."

However, whether people can return home satisfied and happy is another matter.

If the cold weather makes the atmosphere at the banquet cold, Daimyo Takeda will be blamed, and there will be no one else to take the blame except Takeda Rin, the person in charge.

If the younger brothers below find out, I don’t know how they will gloat about it.

"This matter is easy to handle. We can just find a way to warm the banquet hall."

"That's easy to say," Takeda Rin rolled his eyes. "In order to show off to the lady, my father specially ordered a banquet to be held in the main hall, Suzaku Hall. Don't you know how big and cold that place is?"

As a symbol of power, Takeda Takuma's Damingfu is located on the top of the only hill in the city, and the Suzaku Hall where the meetings are held is located at the highest altitude.The surrounding area is wide and open, with excellent views.If you lean on the railing outside the palace and look into the distance, you will have a panoramic view of the entire Suzaku City.

From a military perspective, such a geographical location is undoubtedly excellent.But if you consider it from the perspective of living and home, it is the best choice.In summer, the sun shines directly from all directions, and in winter, the cold wind blows in through the windows. It is cold in winter and hot in summer, which is devastating.

Daming Mansion's largest annual expenditures are in these two seasons, and it is no surprise that the expenditure is on ice and charcoal.

The reason why Takeda Rin is so irritable is naturally not because there is nothing he can do, but because the cost is too high and he is not very willing.The situation between the countries is delicate, and one does not know when the peace treaty will be torn up and a war will break out.In his opinion, it was extremely unwise to invest a lot of financial and material resources in hosting a birthday party for a woman at this time.

"...It's better to strengthen Konoha's military strength."

"Sir, what did you say?"

"Go down and prepare for the banquet, and write down the charter for me," Takeda Rin waved his hand, "Also... spend as little as possible."

"Yes, son."

After his subordinates left, Takeda Rin couldn't help but laugh.

"...It's not your country, so why are you so careless?"

A voice in my heart secretly retorted, sooner or later this place will belong to you.

The weather was not very good on the day the banquet was held, and it was gray since early in the morning.Xue Nai put on a gorgeous red-bottomed embroidered dress under the service of the maid. Different from the other clothes, the fabric was warm to the touch and extremely soft.

It is said that this is a newly supplied material this year, and the silkworms that spin the silk come from a silkworm tree that grows in the lava crater.Reeling silkworm silk every year consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and a lot of lives are filled in, so it is extremely rare and precious.Excluding those given to other great nobles, there are less than twenty horses in the Daming Mansion.

"Master Takeda is so kind to Madam. I heard that Madam is afraid of the cold, so I brought all these things to you just after entering Daming Mansion."

Xue Nai played with a delicate coral hairpin in her hand, and the smile on her face became more and more gentle, "Yes, I often feel troubled because I don't know how to repay Lord Takuma." At the end of the sentence, she couldn't help but frown, and her voice was even louder. With a somewhat melancholy sigh.

"I don't need you to repay me," Takeda Takuma just came over to see how Xuena was preparing. Hearing her words, he opened the door and strode in, "Your existence itself is the best reward for me. .”

Xuena was moved to tears: "Lord Takuma..."

"Okay," Takeda Takuma patted her hand soothingly, "It's not a day like today to cry. The front hall is ready. Come on, follow me out and let them see the beauty of Mrs. Yukina."

"Pfft!" Xuena laughed through tears, "What are you talking about? There are outstanding people in the Fire Country, how dare I receive such high praise from you."

Takeda Takuma smiled and said nothing, there was no need to argue too much about this matter.After seeing everyone's reaction, she will naturally believe it.

Today, the Zhuque Hall is full of people and noisy.There are charcoal pots placed every two steps in the huge palace for heating, all of which are smokeless and odorless fine silver charcoal.The charcoal basin has been completely redesigned and manufactured. Not only is it exquisite in appearance, it can preserve heat to the greatest extent, and it is also highly safe.

Even if it is accidentally knocked over, the charcoal will not fall out.Today there are all distinguished guests. It would not be fun if someone accidentally knocks over the charcoal pot and causes a fire or burns himself.

The interior is dotted with countless flowers and green plants, all of which are heated day and night in the greenhouse over charcoal fires.The most attractive thing is undoubtedly the two wintersweet trees placed next to the main table. They quietly exude a slightly cool fragrance in this unseasonably busy place, creating a profound sense of tranquility.

Yukina walked out with Takeda Takuma holding hands. She saw the two plum blossoms at a glance, and her emotionless eyes were filled with smiles.Although they quickly disappeared without a trace, they were still caught in the sight of Takeda Rin, who had been paying attention to them.

...Plum blossoms?

"Today is Mrs. Xue Nai's birthday banquet. Thank you all for taking the time to come. Come, everyone, please drink this cup to the full. I wish my wife long life, happiness and health."

"I wish my wife long life, good fortune and good health!"*n

Xuena picked up the wine glass in her hand and was about to cover her face and drink it all when Takeda Takuma grabbed her wrist.

"grown ups?"

The man smiled, turned to the maid and asked, "Don't you know that Madam is not in good health and cannot drink alcohol? Make her a pot of hot tea quickly."

"Yes, yes." The maid left cautiously, and soon came over with a tea tray, her movements becoming more respectful.

Xue Nai looked at the quiet guests below and smiled helplessly: "It's just a cup, nothing will happen."

"It's important to take care of yourself..."

He wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by someone who came to propose a toast: "I have long heard that Yukinaji from the Kingdom of Water is noble and elegant, and has the appearance of a heavenly being. Today I saw that she is truly worthy of her reputation. Lord Takeda is so lucky, and you are the only one." Only those who are blessed by God are worthy of being accompanied by such a concubine."

"Hahaha, Kondo, you have become more and more talkative recently."

"Adults are joking. Kondo is straightforward and always tells the truth."

"Okay, okay, it's good to tell the truth~"

Xue Nai held the tea cup in her hand, silently watching the lively and extravagant scene of changing cups in front of her.Ninjas, civilians, and nobles are indeed completely different existences.We are obviously living in the same space, but it seems like there are three worlds.

"Xue Nai, Xue Nai?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Why are you distracted? Is the party too boring?"

"No. Look, Takuma-sama, it's snowing. I heard that people who meet in Chuxue can stay together for the rest of their lives and grow old together."

Takeda Takuma shook his head and laughed: "Xue Nai still believes in such fairy tales. What a child."

Xue Nai did not refute his words, and stood up with a smile: "First Snow of the Fire Country, I want to go out and have a look."

Women always have some feelings that men cannot understand, and they are persistent and therefore more innocent and lovely.Takeda was very willing to tolerate the new wife's unrestrained imagination, told the maid to take good care of her, and then let her go.
