antique on the run

"By the way, Toyotomi-kun, tell me, what kind of person is the general?"

Not wanting Toyotomi Soma to focus on Qi Xiao again, Saiwei changed the subject casually.

"Well... General, Lord General, he is the object of admiration and respect for all our warriors!"

Speaking of the general, Toyotomi Soma's eyes showed a rare excitement and reverence, all kinds of noble and beautiful adjectives don't cost money.

"The general is eight feet tall, handsome and handsome. When he was in the royal capital in the early years, he made outstanding achievements. In addition to the general's outstanding talents, many elders wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law. Even His Majesty the Emperor met the general for the first time. I couldn't help boasting: 'What a strong and strong Haoerlang'!"

"As for the general's wife, the general's wife is the eldest daughter of Doctor Lixiu's family in Wangdu. The two little generals I have raised are even dragons and phoenixes, and they have received the best education since they were young. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs, and the two little generals will become great weapons in the future..."

Listening to what he said, Sewe stroked the cat's fur and nodded thoughtfully.

If according to Soma Toyotomi's description, the general is such an excellent character, then Sakura's behavior of choosing the general and abandoning Natsukawa Qingquan seems to be understandable...

after an hour.

Saiwei looked at the old man with squinting eyes, mustache, and bald head on the high seat in the distance, and the body beside him who was dressed in luxurious and exquisite clothes, but couldn't hide the serious fat, and even his cheeks were so fat that he was blown away. The middle-aged woman who got up couldn't see the appearance that Soma Toyotomi described.

Two chubby boys rushed to the middle-aged woman and sat down like cannonballs. Although they were both in their teens, they still looked like children. His wine glass was spilled, but the middle-aged woman didn't stop, instead, she smiled and fed the pastries to the two of them herself, her face almost wrinkled into buns.

Saiwei: "..."

This is what Toyotomi Soma said, those two little kids who have received the best education since they were young, and will become great talents in the future?

Three people become tigers, and the Chinese do not deceive me.

He took a closer look at the high platform, and it seemed that only the five young ladies dressed as noble ladies sitting on the head of the general's wife could still see it.

Those should all be the general's concubines.

Toyotomi Soma didn't seem to feel anything wrong, he still looked at the general with reverence, he took Sai Wei to the door to greet Lord Akanishi, and then followed Lord Akanishi step by step.

Akanishi-sama has already followed many people behind him, all of them are his retainers. It is not enough to put them here alone in their status and status. It is impossible to accidentally bump into a noble person, so you have to find someone for yourself. A backing will do.

Akanishi-sama's identity is quite impressive among the guests, especially when he is accompanied by Natsukawa Kiyomi, whose dazzling blond hair and three-dimensional facial features are not too conspicuous among a group of Japanese.

People kept coming to chat with Mr. Akanishi, and the topic would turn around Xiachuan Qingquan, and then Mr. Akanishi would lead Saiwei to greet people and say hello. Follow him.

Soma Toyotomi took advantage of this, because he came with Natsukawa Kiyizumi, so he shamelessly stayed by Saiwei's side, and took this opportunity to meet a lot of people, but he was envious of the crowd behind The doorman is gone.

"Hahaha, Mr. Xia Chuan is really my lucky star." During the break of the conversation, Akanishi-sama turned his head and said to Saiwei.

Different from Soma Toyotomi, Akanishi-sama is older and more experienced, his voice is as deep as an ancient bell, even if he doesn't deliberately release his aura at this moment, but once he speaks, it sounds like there is a sense of coercion from a superior person .

But who is Saiwei? As a nobleman, he has never met anyone since he was a child. When facing Mr. Akanishi, he was not at all cautious or uncomfortable. gone."

Lord Akanishi just praised casually, and didn't expect him to answer anything, but because of his calmness, he gave him a high look, and said to the dark crowd behind him: "Okay, you all stay here, Mr. Xia Chuan and ...Well, Soma-kun, you two will come with me to give the general a congratulatory gift."

Soma Toyotomi blinked, being hit by the big pie, his face flushed involuntarily with excitement, and his gaze towards Saiwei was filled with gratitude.

Thanks to Qingquan-kun, Akanishi-sama gave him such a big respect!

Under the envious and jealous gazes of all the disciples, Soma Toyotomi followed behind Akanishi-sama with his head held high and his chest held high. That proud look made people itch with hatred.

The high platform where the general's family was sitting had already lined up a lot of people waiting to go up to meet and give congratulatory gifts. There were attendants from the general's mansion maintaining order, and they let people go up one by one in turn. You have to wait patiently.

Sai Wei looked at the high platform from a distance. At first, the general would nod symbolically when the gift giver saluted him. Later, there were too many people, and he became impatient, so he simply ignored it. When he encountered a gift that suited his heart Sometimes he would give a word or two, and if he encountered a gift he didn't like, he would just wave his hand and ask the attendant to take it down, without even looking at the giver.

Of course, this gift-giving mode didn’t last long, and soon the general didn’t even want to wave his hands. After the gift-giver climbed onto the high platform, the attendants brought the gifts up, and then they saluted the general from a distance. The attendant started to push him away with a cold face, as if it would be an offense to look at the general any more.

General Xu felt bored, and even invited geisha to come up to sing and dance.

For the product of this feudal aristocratic class, Seville, who grew up in a free, romantic and equal France, expressed that he could not accept it at all.

His face was deep, he didn't want to look at the general's wretched family anymore, his attention was attracted by the geisha who were performing songs and dances, and then he was shocked to find that——

"That dancer, isn't he..."

"Those are the geisha from Xiaonishi's family." It was probably too boring to wait, Master Akanishi seldom let go of his figure, took Saiwei's words and said: "The one in the middle, well, that's the one," he pointed to a group of geisha The women in fancy clothes surrounded in the middle said, "That is the number one brand of Xiaoxi's family, called Sakura."

Akanishi-sama didn't know about the entanglement between Natsukawa Kiyomizu and Sakura, but Soma Toyotomi knew about it. He became nervous when he heard the name, and quickly looked at Sai Wei, afraid that his friend would do something inappropriate. , who knows Sai Wei is like a normal person, as if the dancer on the high platform is not a cherry blossom or not has little to do with him.

Soma Toyotomi smacked his lips, it’s strange, Qingquan-kun loves cherry blossoms to death, he even asked himself to help send an oil painting to please her a few days ago, how can he be so calm now?

He didn't expect that Xiachuan Qingquan's heart had changed to another person, and this person had no interest in cherry blossoms at all, so he could only attribute it to Qingquan Lord's deliberate forbearance for the sake of the overall situation.

Therefore, in the hearts of the warriors, Saiwei's image instantly became taller. In order to achieve face and dignity, even if he saw his beloved woman performing dances for others in front of his eyes, he could take it calmly. This is the real Bushido!

However, if Saiwei could know what was going on in his heart, he would definitely say calmly: Oh, that’s because there are cherry blossoms dancing on it. If it was Qi Xiao, he would definitely rush up, snatch people away, and then go back Beat the general into a pig's head...

Because of Akanishi-sama's presence, Toyotomi Soma was more cautious in every move, and he didn't dare to talk too much with Sewi, so he had to stand aside and look around boredly.And Sai Wei... Sai Wei is not boring at all, because he is holding Qi Xiao in his arms.

The little cat didn't seem to like this kind of noisy occasion very much. It looked sleepy, and opened its mouth to yawn from time to time, revealing two small fangs.

"Are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, do you want to sleep for a while?" Sewei always pays attention to Qi Xiao. Seeing him yawning, he thinks he is tired. ear.

Qi Xiao shook his head, broke away from his hand, changed to a more comfortable position and continued to lie in Saiwei's arms.

He has just slept for seven days, although the disconnection of the stream of consciousness and return to the cage is only a moment, but this body has slept solidly for seven days, and it is full of energy at the moment.

I don't know how long I stood there, and when it was finally Chixi-sama's turn, Sai Wei's legs were sore.And beside him, Toyotomi Soma was obviously still in high spirits, his eyes were like a torch, and he wished he could climb up to the high platform to meet his most respected general.

It's a pity that Akanishi-sama didn't do what he wished, and ordered him and Sai Wei to stand where they were, and he just brought an attendant holding a painting up to offer a gift.

In fact, if he could, he didn't even want to bring an attendant, it was just a congratulatory gift, so what would it look like if so many people rushed forward?There is no reason to be suspected of recruiting the general.

Saiwei didn't think anything of Akanishi-sama's actions. He originally agreed to attend the dinner just to see what Mrs. Sakura's husband might look like in the future. Now it's enough to take a look from a distance, and there's no need to join in.But Soma Toyotomi was obviously very frustrated, like a defeated rooster, his whole body vented his momentum.

"Oh, I really hope that one day I will have the opportunity to go up to pay respects to the general and present a birthday gift." He said with infinite longing.

Saiwei laughed lowly, and was about to reply, but saw the attendant who had just accompanied Lord Chixi up and ran down again in a hurry. When he saw Saiwei, he hurriedly waved: "Master Xia Chuan, Master Xia Chuan! Please move up and follow me up , the general wants to see you!"
