It has been a month since Tokugawa Yoshimune became feudal lord, and the weather in Kii has also started to heat up.She ordered people to open all the sliding doors and windows of the meeting hall, hoping that the air circulation would take away the heat, but the air blown in was still hot.The humidity at the seaside is too high, it feels like you are in a sauna, you don’t want to stop sweating, your body is sticky and greasy.The back of Ji Zong's white muslin jacket was drenched with sweat, and his short, loose culottes had long been lifted up, and his legs were stretched as far as possible without touching them.She tugged at the collar, trying to expose as much skin as possible. Seeing the servant girl sweeping the yard outside with her arms open, most of her chest was exposed, and her bottom was basically rolled up into shorts, she felt envious.Looking at the documents piled up on the table, Ji Zong felt even more irritable.

"Lord." Yu Xumo called her softly as he knelt outside the meeting room, where there was almost no obstruction, she nodded to signal him to come in.Yu Xumo held some things on a tray and walked towards him on his knees, and Aoi and Jing also followed in with their things.Ji Zong frowned. After she succeeded, the number of servants was reduced a lot, and Jing and Aoi went to serve Suma.By the way, she no longer lives in the Tianshou Pavilion, she lives in the largest courtyard in the feudal lord's mansion.According to her wishes, she still hopes to continue to live in the castle tower, where it is clean.However, it is very inconvenient to deploy manpower to meet the vassals there.Buildings have their own functionality. To put it bluntly, the castle tower is a watchtower, which also has the defensive function of a watchtower. It is not the center of the building, and it is naturally inconvenient to communicate.

Speaking of which, she took over as feudal lord, which was really a hot potato. I really don't know why Lai Zi would do anything to do it.How to put it, in a short period of time, so many people died in the mansion, and they were all of high status, the funeral cost a lot.Not to mention that temple in He's house, [-]% of the cash in the mansion has gone, thinking about it makes her feel dizzy.Money is demanded everywhere, but the fields have not yet produced, and the tax is confiscated.After Crane's death, Gangjiao has never had the energy to take care of the affairs of the feudal clan. Fortunately, it is now a succession system, and his subordinates are also loyal.After Ji Zong took over, no matter what the outside rumors were, everyone accepted it fairly well.Yes, as long as it's Tokugawa Mitsusada's daughter, that's fine.Ji Zong couldn't increase income in a short period of time and could only cut expenditure. After A Yuan's statistics, unnecessary people were cut off, and the supply and expenses of the feudal lord were reduced as much as possible. Anyway, she is also a person who doesn't like cumbersome things.The implementation time is still short, and no effect can be seen yet.

Suddenly, a warm handkerchief wiped the sweat off her forehead, and the wind blew past, bringing a burst of coolness.It turns out that scrubbing with warm water is actually cooler than cold water.Ji Zong came to his senses, took the handkerchief from Yu Xumo's hand, and wiped his face and neck.Yu Xumo retrieved the handkerchief, threw a handful into the basin that Kui brought over, and handed it to her again.Yu Xumo also has an independent courtyard now, and he is also considered the No.1 male in the Jiyi Mansion. The second sister's main wife Tian received the title of Yuanguangyuan and went to Changbao Temple to lose his hair.However, when Ji Zong took over the feudal lord's hand, everything was waiting to be done, everything had to be started from the beginning, and there were more rules, so it was rare for the two of them to meet each other.Yu Xumo often thought that the relationship between the two of them was not very close in the first place, and they got closer by taking the opportunity of going to Edo together, but now they are back to the original point.

Seeing that Ji Zong was really hot, he lifted the collar without avoiding suspicion, stretched in the handkerchief and wiped his chest, Yu Xumo took the handkerchief, and pursed his lower lip.Jing and Kui even lay down very low, not daring to raise their heads, and not daring to move their eyes wildly.Ji Zong took the handkerchief again, stretched it in from the back of his neck and wiped his back, and he really felt much refreshed.Only then did I realize that my behavior was a bit inappropriate, but Yu Xuma's shyness was a bit exaggerated, right? Her body has just turned 15 years old, right?

"Drink some soup to relieve the heat." Seeing that she had finished wiping, Yu Xumo put the handkerchief into the basin, and someone took it away.He took the wooden bowl from Aoi and handed it to Ji Zong's lips.Ji Zong took a look at him, and drank it with his hands like a stream of kindness. It was sour and sweet, as if it had the fragrance of fruit and the freshness of grass and trees, and the sweetness and sourness were moderate.Yu Xumo was very happy to see that she liked to drink.After saluting lightly, he was about to retreat. He also saw the mountain of files on the table, so he should deal with them more during the day and rest when the night is cool.

"You don't have to come again." Ji Zong called to Yu Xumo who was about to leave, and told him. Seeing his face change, he explained, "It's too hot today." Looking at Yu Xumo's thin white background with blue stripes Yukata, she was still a little worried.I am in exceptionally good health, and I can't stand the weather anymore. This year's weather is too sweltering!At any rate, she has spent two summers here, and she didn't feel that the heat was unbearable before.

Yu Sumo's complexion turned better, he lowered his head slightly, and nodded lightly.Ji Zong paused, thinking, the people here really know how to use subtle beauty to the extreme. At that moment just now, she felt that Yu Xumo looked very delicate and handsome.Shaking her head, she must have fainted from heat, caused by lack of oxygen in her brain.

Yu Xumo went back to his courtyard and scrubbed his body alone. This time, no matter how slow he walked, he was still sweating.He is a person who likes cleanliness. Jing and Aoi have been serving him for a while, so they knew it naturally, and prepared a new bathrobe for him, with dark green leaves floating on the light green background.Yu Xuma changed into his clothes, ordered the two of them to retreat, and sat alone under the tree to enjoy the coolness, looking at the thick leaves that even sunlight could not penetrate, finally felt a little cooler in his heart.

Jing and Aoi were naturally sweating too, but they didn't know when Suma would call them, so they just scrubbed roughly with the water basin.Aoi lifted the neckline and opened the clothes to the waist, revealing the snow-white chest, and the slender waist was faintly visible.He used his hand as a fan, fanned it lightly, took up the well water, and was about to drink it, but was stopped by the mirror.

"Don't be greedy for coolness, the well water is too cold this summer, just sweated, be careful." Jing is older than Kui, and the two of them are in the same place, so I naturally have to take care of him more.He poured a bowl of herbal tea for Kui, who gulped it down.Feeling refreshed after looking in the mirror, he also poured himself a bowl and drank it.Alas, this is comfort.

"This feudal lord's mansion must be cursed. The male masters here are more jealous than the other." Aoi looked at Yu Xumo under the tree from a distance through the window, slightly jealous, unwilling to admit his innocence. Appearance and demeanor are stronger than themselves. "After spending these days together, what do you still not understand? Where did the feudal lord touch him? Hmph, what are you doing with Joe?"

Jing put his index finger in front of his lips, and motioned him to silence, "You are crazy, you can say that? The feudal lord is still young, so naturally he is not smart about these things. You don't dare to talk nonsense, and someone caught you in the wrong place." No one can save you."

Aoi pursed her lips indifferently, because of her young age, the feudal lord and young master Yu Xumo were both loose-minded people, and she was a little wanton. At the time Mr. He sent us to Miss Fourth, no, the feudal lord also meant this. Who would have thought that that person was pretending to be naive, and he really took advantage of us now." Kui and Jing's family backgrounds are incomparable, but He is also the son of a vassal, but he entered the government as an errand because he wanted to find a better way out.

"At such a young age, your hair hasn't fully grown yet, so you miss spring?" Jing looked at Aoi with a funny face, and dismissed him, "It's a hot day, you don't feel too dry, so be careful to get angry." After all, Aoi is young, I was not attached to these things, I turned my head to look, laughed for a while, and then went to find another cool place.Jing suppressed her smile, looked at the old tree that Yu Suma leaned against, it was so green that it covered the sky, and sighed softly.I am already 20 years old. At this age, I have not married yet, and if I put it outside, I will be ridiculed.However, since he entered the mansion and was sent to the feudal lord's side, his fate cannot be decided by himself.

How could Tokugawa Yoshimune know what the men in the mansion were thinking? She was almost driven crazy by the financial deficit, so that when she learned that the general had given her a marriage, the first question she thought of was, what would it take to marry the wife? Spend a lot of money, but where does the money come from!This idea even came before her own idea of ​​marrying a strange man.
