Nobunaga is a witch

Even if he doesn't like brats, this little guy is cute enough when he smiles, so Oda Nobunaga gave him his hand, "Come to me. ---"

So the little guy who didn't recognize his life got up in a hurry, ran to Oda Nobunaga's side, his big black eyes stared at the person so unblinkingly, Oda Nobunaga looked interesting, and simply She stretched out her hand to hug him vaguely, and teased him, "Do you know who I am?"

"I know," the child's voice with a small milky voice was pleasant to hear, and he didn't struggle when Oda Nobunaga embraced him, but obediently leaned against the person and raised his head, "You are Your Highness."

"Then who are you?" Oda Nobunaga asked with a smile.

The little guy replied seriously to Oda Nobunaga's question with a soft childish voice, "I'm Ranmaru."

Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows, Ranmaru, Mori Ranmaru?If she just heard a group of so-and-so pills just now, and now they are separated, she realizes what the organization of the name means.

But she has seen Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Akechi Mitsuhide now, and she is still called Oda Nobunaga, and now one more Mori Ranmaru will not change the color of the Oda family's governor in the slightest.

"So you are Ranmaru." Oda Nobunaga was rarely interested, "Did your father teach you to use a spear?" It is rumored that this Mori Ranmaru is another male favorite of his in history, because of his beauty Wushuang, so she is loved by thousands of people, but as Oda Nobunaga, she doesn't think so.

If it's just an ordinary and beautiful male favorite, the other self may like and dote on him, but it will definitely not exceed a certain degree. The overlord who dominates the world will not limit his eyes only to this.

Mori Ranmaru is able to gain the trust and love of his own, not only because of his appearance, of course, his appearance must also be a bonus item.

As she and Qian Zongyi mentioned, a good-looking appearance is easy to get, but an interesting soul is not so easy. If you have both, it is a gift from God.

She wanted to know if this little guy was a child favored by heaven.

Mori Ranmaru shook his head honestly, "I haven't learned how to use a long gun yet."

"Then what have you learned?" Oda Nobunaga continued to ask.

Mori Ranmaru thought about it seriously, "I have learned how to use a knife, I have also learned archery, and I have also learned some characters," he said, smiling a little embarrassedly, taking advantage of his pretty little face, it is almost like It is as if it will shine, "I have also learned some arithmetic."

If it is said that Mori Ranmaru has learned other things, it can't surprise Oda Nobunaga, but what he mentioned made the head of the Oda family raise his eyebrows, "It counts?"

"Yeah." Mori Ranmaru nodded, "But I haven't learned much."

Oda Nobunaga smiled and glanced at Mori Kecheng, "Your father doesn't know this, who did you learn from?" It's really not that she looks down on her loyal retainers, but she has a specialty in art, but it's not that true blocks.

"A missionary-sama." Mori Ranmaru replied.

Only then did Oda Nobunaga suddenly realize that apart from the missionaries, few people in Japan in this era seem to be able to do this. "How did you come up with the idea of ​​learning this from the missionaries?"

Mori Ranmaru tilted his head slightly to look at the person, "I just met him twice by chance, and learned a little bit from him, but not much."

Oda Nobunaga smiled, "Then I'll test you.---"

Hearing what Oda Nobunaga said, Mori Ranmaru nodded solemnly, "Your Highness, please come up with a question."

The little guy's sullen and serious look is really cute, and Oda Nobunaga couldn't help laughing a few times before asking a few questions for the school Mori Ranmaru.

At the beginning, she just had the attitude of teasing the children, but she didn't expect that after asking a few questions, she found that Mori Ranmaru was even smarter and precocious than she imagined.

Although it is true that learning is limited, it has surpassed many adults in this era.

For Oda Nobunaga, this was a complete surprise.

It feels like picking up a baby all of a sudden.

So happy Oda Nobunaga directly pulled out the dagger pinned to his waist and handed it to Mori Ranmaru, "You answered my question, this is a reward."

The little guy who was still answering the question with a sullen expression just saw the knife that Oda Nobunaga handed him in front of him, and couldn't help showing a big smile, and took it with his hand, loving it, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Oda Nobunaga stretched out his hand and patted his head, "When you get older, come to me." This is to let Mori Ranmaru come to her to serve as an official.

Mori Ranmaru, who was holding a dagger, nodded vigorously, but Mori Kasei understood the meaning of Oda Nobunaga at once, and was so happy that he thanked Oda Nobunaga on behalf of his son, "Thank you, general .”

Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and told Mori Ranmaru to go back to his father. Although he likes this little guy, today is the day when the retainers come to pay New Year's greetings, and there are quite a lot of people lining up behind, so she can't keep teasing the children .

Taking advantage of the time when Mori Kecheng brought his group of children down, Saito Guicho came over and whispered in Oda Nobunaga's ear, "Master Nobunaga likes that kid Ranmaru very much?" This was the first time she saw To see Mr. Nobunaga so patiently talking to a child.

"Well, quite smart." Oda Nobunaga didn't deny it. She doesn't like bear children, but who wouldn't like a beautiful and well-behaved child? Besides, that little guy is so smart, so smart that she didn't expect outside.

Saito Guidie rolled his eyes slightly, and with no scruples in the new year, he simply moved closer and whispered in a voice that only Oda Nobunaga could hear, "Since Your Highness likes children so much, let's have one myself."

Oda Nobunaga was holding red bean mochi soup in his hand, when he turned around, he saw Saito Kiecho's rather "hateful" smile.

Glancing at Saito Guidie, who has become more and more courageous recently, even she dared to joke, and touched Guidie's ruddy face, "Do you think I can give birth?"

Saito Guidie's already healthy and slightly red face was even more flushed. Of course she knew that Lord Nobunaga was a woman like her, but she couldn't resist His Highness molesting people.

Jiaochen glared at him with completely powerless eyes, "Can't your Highness?"

Oda Nobunaga withdrew his hand and continued to drink her red bean soup, not at all like discussing such a topic that would probably scare an outsider to death, "I can give birth, but who will I give birth to?" Possibly a child alone.Her name is Oda Nobunaga, not Maria.

Saito Guicho was originally just joking, but seeing that Oda Nobunaga seemed to have no objection at all, she couldn't help but become more active.

She can't give His Highness a child (?), but if His Highness can bear it herself, she will be the legitimate heir of the Oda family.

Saito Guidie has always been smart, that is, she still retains a bit of a young daughter's coquettish attitude in front of Oda Nobunaga. No one would say that Mrs. Guidie of the Oda family is dignified and generous.

So of course she also understands the reason why Yoshino Ikoma was sent here by his retainers. Although Mr. Nobunaga is not very old, in this era, people usually get married and have children in their teens, so the retainers are also anxiously looking forward to the son of Oda. of birth.

It's understandable when you think about it, Oda Nobunaga is now a powerful daimyo who controls several countries, if there is no heir, if His Highness has an accident one day, the Oda family will be the best fat in the hearts of other daimyos who are all around.

With the eldest son, the hearts of the subjects can be stabilized, and those with malicious intentions can be attacked.

Although Nobunaga-sama also told her that he would adopt Oshi's child as the heir, but if Nobunaga-sama is willing to give birth by himself, that would be even better.

As for how long it takes to get pregnant, there are risks.

Although Saito Guidie has never given birth to a child, she thinks she has some experience after seeing so many householders' wives conceive and give birth.

It is not impossible to wear some loose clothes to cover up the past in the first few months, and then find some reasons such as illness in the next few months. If the timing is right, it is not impossible.

Of course Saito Guicho knows how easy it is to say but how difficult it is to do, but she trusts Oda Nobunaga unconditionally, as long as Nobunaga wants to do it, he can do it.

But now Master Nobunaga asked a good question, who is she going to have a baby with?

Saito Guidie, who hadn't thought of this question just now, was stunned for a moment.

That's right, no matter how powerful Mr. Nobunaga is, he can't give birth to a child by himself, he still needs a man.

However, she couldn't figure out which man Nobunaga should have a child with.

Seeing Saito Guicho in a daze, Oda Nobunaga patted her head casually, "Don't think too much, I'm not attached to my own bloodline," although she can fully imagine that if she really embraced one of her own Gui Die will definitely love her child as if she had given birth to her own child, but she doesn't want to take great risks to conceive a child, and she doesn't seem to have any maternal glory. Health, how wonderful.

The governor of the Oda family didn't think there was anything wrong with holding his younger sister's child to play. If the play was good, the Oda family would leave it to the little niece, how nice.

Saito Guidie came back to his senses, "Mmm, yes."

Although he promised Oda Nobunaga in this way, Saito Guicho was a little confused. Does Nobunaga give up on himself as a woman?Or, there was still something she hadn't thought of.

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Looking at the retainers who had already pushed the door in, Saito Guicho calmed down, and now there are important things to do.

After the matter is over, she will find a chance to have a good talk with Mr. Nobunaga.

Although, she herself has given up on being a mother, but for Mr. Nobunaga, she is reluctant to give up even a little bit.

The retainers came and went, and if some were stationed outside and it was not convenient to return to Gifu, some of their wives and children came to pay New Year's greetings to the lord.

For example, Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was serving as the governor of Kyoto in Kyoto, came with his wife Ning Ning.

However, compared to other families with large crowds, and even the Maeda Toshi family has many children, Ning Ning, who is alone, seems a little deserted.

Fortunately, Oda Nobunaga didn't care. Ning Ning has a sweet smile, and she has her own tenacity amidst gentleness. She is really a girl she likes very much.

Really, she thinks that looking at Ningning is much better than looking at that monkey.

"Congratulations to the lord and wife for the New Year." In front of Oda Nobunaga and Saito Guicho, he bowed down earnestly. After being married for several years, Ningning's smile is still sweet.

This kind of smile is very contagious, and the corners of Saito Guicho's mouth are slightly raised. Oda Nobunaga nodded, "In the new year, you must be safe and healthy." The monkey guy has been sent out to do things by her for a long time, Ning Ning If you are alone at home, you really need to pay more attention.

"Thank you, my lord." Ning Ning bowed again. She was originally the daughter of the Oda family's retainers, and she had known her since Oda Nobunaga was still the young master, so she was actually no stranger.

"Monkey was serving as the governor of Kyoto in Kyoto, and he didn't come back for the New Year, thanks to you." After so long, Oda Nobunaga still felt that Kinoshita Hideyoshi was lucky to marry Ning Ning.

"It's Hideyoshi-sama's honor to be able to serve my lord." Ning Ning spoke very nicely. Of course, she really thought so, and Hideyoshi-sama has a future only if he can gain his lord's trust and love.

"Haha, you are at home alone, if you have anything, come and talk to your wife." Oda Nobunaga turned his head and nodded to Saito Guicho, who naturally took up the topic with a generous smile, "Even if it is It's okay, you can come and spend more time with me." She also likes Ning Ning, a generous and straightforward girl.

"I'm fine, everything is fine," Ning Ning bowed gratefully to Saito Guicho, and then turned to Oda Nobunaga, "I just don't know when my lord will recall Hideyoshi."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Oda Nobunaga was a little surprised, Ning Ning is not an ignorant woman, why would she ask such a question.

Ning Ning hesitated, "Master..."

"It's okay, you say." Oda Nobunaga waved his hand indifferently, "There are no taboos in the New Year."

Ning Ning immediately showed joy, "Thank you, my lord." After a pause, she didn't have stage fright at all, "My lord, since you left the capital, Hideyoshi has been obsessed with women in the capital," she was originally smiling. The expression has collapsed, not to mention weeping, but also full of anger, "Knowing that he is out of his mind because of the woman in the capital, I can't rest at night," the more she said, the more angry she became, "I wrote to him, he I haven’t heard back yet, I’m afraid I’m enjoying the snow with the girls in the capital now!” The person who was a little hesitant at the beginning has entered another realm, “He must have bought combs and gifts for the other party, with a sweet tongue and a smooth tongue. You can't lie to the other party, saying that you will treat her well for the rest of your life, and you won't look at other women more..."

It seemed that Ning Ning didn't want to stop for a while, Oda Nobunaga coughed and interrupted her, "Ning Ning, why are you so familiar?"

"Before, Lord Hideyoshi treated me like this before!" Ning Ning blurted out, only to realize what he said, and quickly covered his face with his sleeve, "Master, I'm rude."

Oda Nobunaga endured and endured, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

She said how the monkey got married to Ningning, and it turned out to be a deep trick.
