Butterfly [The Great Austrian Woman Version]

Chapter 5 Inexplicable Progress

The general put away the folding fan, and she naturally saw Okubo's partiality to the fourth daughter all the time. If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have thought of seeing Guangzhen's fourth daughter.

Okubo Tadamo made a big salute, kowtowed and said, "This subordinate originally wanted to attract the general to see the fourth lady first, and then report the matter in private, which is really a family scandal. But now the general has given the fourth lady a territory, and the lady, as the lord, will naturally enter the daimyo Column. The subordinates don't care about being ugly, and report it to the general now, it is definitely not deceiving before."

The room was already silent, but now even the sound of breathing was inaudible.The second young lady's face was already pale, and although she was still kneeling, her body was already limp.She knows!And it has to be mentioned in front of the general!And Tian, ​​who was kneeling behind her, her main room, also changed his expression.I really didn't expect this Okubo Tadatomo to be so disrespectful and ruthless. I also underestimated her love for her son. I didn't expect her to tear her face in front of everyone to say this. I just don't know, she will How to say it, and what kind of end it will be.If she had known, she might as well have killed that person, rather than him being pitiful alive. After all, a dead person is not worthy of his family's impulsiveness.But now that he is alive, his family will fight for his future.

The feudal lord Guangzhen remained calm, the eldest daughter Gangjiao beside her just frowned slightly, and the royal crane behind Gangjiao glanced at the expressions of the people around her, and just smiled.The person involved in the incident still knelt in front of the general in a daze, not knowing what happened.All I know is that she suddenly called Matsudaira Raifa, and then sealed something she didn't know, and no one asked her to thank her, and then the person who had been helping her said strange things again, and the atmosphere in the room It becomes solidified.

Sitting high, the General quickly glanced around the expressions of the crowd with her fish-bubble eyes, and then swished, unfolded the folding fan, and said with a smile, "I don't know what Zhongchao wants to report?"

Okubo Tadamo pressed his forehead to the back of his hand, and then bowed, "My husband died young, and I have only one son and one daughter. Love is like life." The second lady's head buzzed, and she could no longer hear Okubo Tadamo's words . "My son prayed for his father. He has been practicing in the temple for more than three years. Who knows that he is not deep in the world and trusts others. He eloped with others recently."

"How old is he this year?" Mr. General asked, shaking his fan.

"nineteen"

"It's a waste of the best years. However, it seems that if the other party is not too bad, it will be a good thing." The general said with some regrets. In this era, most men get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Most girls get married at the age of 16, and the general pattern of marriage is that girls are older than boys.The son of Okubo Tadatomo is 19 years old, and he is considered an older leftover man, but there are too many boys and girls in the market, and there are not enough leftovers. "Hey, according to what you said earlier, could it be that this person is Miss Fourth?" The general recalled that Okubo Tadatomo mentioned this matter after awarding him a reward.

"Exactly, this kind of 'floating marriage' without the consent of the elders of both parties is not accepted by the subordinates. I just want to report to the general first, please show me." Okubo Tadatomo said, sweeping the feudal lord Guangzhen glanced at her, and the dissatisfaction in her was beyond words.

The newly promoted Matsudaira Raifa finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the monk he rescued really had a background, and it was also a big trouble, hot enough to deal with.It's just that this happened only overnight, and the news of this person was really fast enough.Also, there was obviously something wrong with the other party's news. He obviously saved her son, so why did he become a shameless person who stole incense and jade?No matter how much she does good deeds without leaving a name or trying to repay her, she can't bear the owner to put a shit bowl on her body. Isn't this an old lady who helps her fall?How chilling.

Matsudaira Raifa weighed it up, wondering if he should defend himself with a few words.Before she could speak, her cheap mother sneered, "Hmph, Okubo, you taught me a good son. He has no sense of shame, and he is relying on others. My cats and dogs are not something you can just bully." I made an excuse, but the contempt in the words made people uncomfortable no matter what.Okubo's face froze, and before she could say anything, the feudal lord Guangzhen went on to say aggressively, "Master General, I wanted to suppress this matter, but I have already clearly declined it. Who knows that Okubo is ashamed to mention it, just to borrow your The power and influence of the two made me submit, and I clearly said that I definitely don't recognize the "floating marriage" between the two of them."

"You! You, don't bully me that there is no one in Okubo's family!" Okubo was pointed at his nose and scolded, how could he hold his breath, and gritted his teeth.

The feudal lord Guangzhen said disapprovingly, "Okubo, don't forget what your origin is. Apart from being the general's old man, you are also a member of my Kii clan! Your foundation is here! Believe it or not, I will list your family from the Kii clan's genealogy. Removal!"

"Your daughter has no shame, cheated my son, everyone left with your daughter, do you still want to admit it?"

"It's a big deal to pay you some money, and the right is to go bankrupt and eliminate the disaster. Take your son away. Our temple is too small to accommodate his big Buddha."

Two people of great status just quarreled in front of the general so bluntly.Matsudaira Laifang gently moved his numb knees, looked at the two people who were spitting, and then secretly looked at the general who was sitting in the seat. A thought flashed in his mind, but he quickly It was too late to catch.

"Okay, okay." The general saw them arguing for a long time, and then he stopped him, and the doubts in his heart were not much left by the two of them, "The marriage of the two of them is approved, and the two of you will get married. Bar."

"No!" The two said in unison, but at this moment they became unanimous.

The general felt a little stuffy and loosened his neckline with his hands.After all, the hierarchy is orderly, she motioned to the lord Guangzhen to speak first

"My lord general, I see you personally protecting the matchmaker. I reluctantly accept this matter, but it's impossible for the main room. You can only serve as the side room."

"Guangzhen, you are too deceitful! The son of my Okubo family will be your concubine for your little daughter who has no background. You are daydreaming! What kind of nobleman do you want to find for her as the main wife?" Okubo Tadashi became popular. He growled, after all, anyone with eyes can see, Matsudaira Raikata has no status here, and Guangzhen's decision is simply unacceptable.Her dignified and middle-aged son is more than enough to marry a real powerful daimyo to be his wife.

But the general said at this time, "Zhongchao, young people are 'floating' first. After all, their virtues are not good enough. Although Guangzhen's fourth daughter is in decline, Guangzhen's family is one of the three imperial families after all, so it's not too bad to treat her poorly." If you want to kill your son, just do what Guangzhen said." The faces of the people in the room were all different, and the general made a final decision.Suspicious as a general, so far, the little suspicion that Okubo and the feudal lord may have colluded in advance has been completely dispelled.As far as the current situation is concerned, although the two have become in-laws, the feud has also been forged.Generals have been familiar with the way of checks and balances since childhood.

Although Guangzhen was still dissatisfied, she reluctantly accepted the result, "My subordinate, General Xie, is the little girl's matchmaker."

Okubo Tadashi's face turned red, but he was shocked by the "Yu Sanjia" statement. If he was not satisfied, he would be questioning the general's prestige, so he could only say bluntly, "Thank you, General, for protecting the media."

"Ha, that's great. I'll give them some more money. Lai Fang, go and tell your lover the good news." The general smiled heartily.Seeing the general happy, the young woman kneeling behind her took the opportunity to step forward and tug on the general's wide sleeve affectionately, "The general has worked hard all the way, let the subordinate serve you and take a rest."

"General, please move to the main hall to rest, and my subordinates will arrange a dust-cleaning banquet later, and I hope your lord will appreciate it." The feudal lord Guangzhen said respectfully.All the people also bowed down and kowtowed again.

"Well, if you don't say it, don't you think it, once you talk about it, you're really tired." The general helped the young woman's hand to stand up, and motioned, "You guys are all gone too, and we will meet again at the banquet later. What do you want to say? , let’s talk about it at that time, hehe.”

The general stepped out from the left door, and the attendants also walked out on knees, Okubo didn't even look at Guangzhen, and flung his sleeves away.With the support of the eldest daughter, Gangjiao, Guangzhen got up, coldly glanced at the tatami mat, and the second daughter who didn't know the so-called Laizhi gave her a glance, and left the meeting hall, and the attendants also withdrew.

Matsudaira Raifa looked around, he was just a junior high school student, he already had a husband, and his profession was a monk, alas, he shrugged his shoulders, looked at his mother's eyes, she might not know what the second sister did, she did this The decision may be due to family considerations.She thought, if you come here, you can rest easy, it's useless to think too much, go back and chat with A Yuan, maybe many things that are in the fog will be cleared up.Ah Yuan can gossip, from the color of the underwear of the eldest sister and second sister, down to the affairs of the attendant's room, there is nothing she doesn't know.She stood up and shook her legs, and walked away briskly without looking at her second sister and her husband.In the empty meeting hall, only the second young lady Lai Zhi and her wife Tian were left, both of them limp.

Lai Fang walked out of the conference hall, and went to the highest point of the city wall, the castle tower where she lived, and walked to a hidden corridor, but her body stopped.She subconsciously dodged behind the pillars in the veranda, not because she had any dirty thoughts, but because of the scene that just caught her eyes, the atmosphere was too ambiguous.One is the young woman next to the general, and the other, Lai Fang frowned and thought about it, should be her eldest brother-in-law.

The arrogant woman was bowing her body at this moment, facing the man flatteringly. "How is Mr. Crane? Although the general doesn't say anything, he still misses you very much. Why don't you take the initiative to serve the general?"

Because she was facing Lai Fang's direction, she could clearly see the disdain in He's eyes.He is almost forty years old, but time is very tolerant to him, adding elegance to him without leaving any traces, with a handsome face and a thin figure.

"It's better to use you, go and serve the general well, I don't need you to worry about my son's affairs." He brushed off his silver-gray sleeves embroidered with white chrysanthemums, as if he just touched something dirty, and he didn't say hello. Hit, turned and left, leaving only one side servant.The servant Liu Zejibao got up angrily, and when he saw the crane walking away, he gritted his teeth and said, "See how proud you are! There will always be a time when you ask my lord! Hmph!" and walked away in another direction.
