Chapter 1743 Big Raccoon and Little Raccoon

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Osaka Bay was as calm as water, and Zhao Jiakang burst into tears on the dock of Sakai Port.  He really looked like a child who had been bullied, pouring out his full grievances to his father.

    "Okay, okay, don't cry. Isn't your father here?" Zhao Hao smiled and pulled him up, wiped Ieyasu's tears with a handkerchief, looked at the little fat man kneeling behind him and said, "This is  ?¡±

    "This is your father's third grandson, Changsong Maru." Ieyasu has studied Chinese diligently over the years and can now converse fluently in the Mandarin of the Ming Dynasty.  Of course, don¡¯t be picky about grammar.  "I just went through the ceremony of Yuanfu before I came here, and my name has been changed to Takechiyo. Takechiyo, why don't you kowtow to grandpa quickly."

    "My grandson, Takechiyo, kowtows to his grandfather." The child had a round nose and squinted eyes, with a naive look on his face, like a little raccoon.  When the little raccoon heard this, he quickly kowtowed to Zhao Hao. His Chinese was even better than his father's.

    "Okay, this child is really a blessing, a blessing!" Zhao Hao pinched his fleshy cheeks fondly.

    Can you be unlucky?  He is the second generation general of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Hidetada, who was as fearful of his enemies as a tiger.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of course, it is still a few years before he receives the word "show" from Hideyoshi, so he is not called Hidetada now, but is called "Takechiyo" like his father was when he was a child.

    This name is no joke, because only the heir of the Tokugawa family can be called "Takechiyo".

    Zhao Hao took off his jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Takechiyo and said:

    "Everyone raises his son hoping to be smart, but I have been deceived by being smart all my life. I only hope that my good grandson will be foolish and ignorant, and he will be able to reach the throne without any disaster."

    Nine-year-old Takechiyo took the jade pendant with a busy smile and kowtowed to his grandfather.

    ¡°Then Tokugawa Ieyasu met Zhao Shizhen again, but his eldest nephew didn¡¯t feel good about this cheap brother.

    Ieyasu didn¡¯t take it seriously. The eldest brother and in-laws were all smiling, which made Zhao Shizhen unable to have a fit.

    "Why are you so anxious? How old is your son"

    "Oh, brother, I have some last resort reasons." Ieyasu smiled bitterly.

    At this time, Qian Rixiu also came up to greet him and invited the big boss and his party to stay in the Jiangnan Garden specially built for him.

    ??~~

    Jiangnan Garden is located near Sakai Port and adjacent to Osaka Bay. It is built on an artificial hill.

    The mountains are covered with green shades of pines, cypresses, maples and bamboos, and the pavilions, pavilions and buildings are well-proportioned.  There is also a waterwheel that lifts the clear river water from the bottom of the mountain and pours it into a winding creek.  The stream finally merges into a lake called the "Xinxin Pond". The reflection of the lake is like a mirror, integrating the lake light and the mountain scenery. It captures the essence of Chinese landscape painting and is also fire-proof.

    ??Everyone sat down in the Unkai Pavilion facing Xixin Pond. Looking down, they could see the twists and turns of the pond bank, the quiet lake surface with the stone bridges and lanterns, and looking up, they could see the sparkling Osaka Bay with shadows of sails.  Tasting the sashimi and tempura is really relaxing and enjoyable.

    "You guys at the company are really spending too much money." Zhao Hao sat cross-legged on the front seat and said with a smile to Sen Rikyu and the several directors who were allowed to sit with him.

    "Last time when my lord came, he actually had a special place to live. He is really worthy of death." Sen no Rikyu hurriedly said on behalf of all the directors: "Although my lord is magnanimous and has never blamed me, we all have trouble sleeping and eating, so we vowed to do it before your lord."  Before you come next time, build the most exquisite garden in Japan!¡±

    "It's fine, my lord, as long as it's not too crude." The directors hurriedly said respectfully.  Sakai City's ability to stay aloof from this troubled world and make a fortune depends entirely on the protection of the people in front of it.

    Zhao Shizhen was too lazy to socialize with these businessmen, and just stared depressedly at Ieyasu and his son who were eating tempura.

    "Don't stop, in-laws. The tempura in Sakai City is one of the best." Ieyasu swallowed a piece of sea bream tempura, and Takechiyo nodded vigorously in agreement.

    Ieyasu glared at Takechiyo and said, "Don't just eat, serve your father-in-law a meal."

    Takechiyo quickly swallowed his mouthful of food, walked to the side of Zhao Shizhen on his knees, picked up the porcelain plate with tempura, and held it in front of his future father-in-law with both hands.

    Seeing the fat residue stuck to the corners of this little fat man¡¯s mouth, he was choking and burping.  Zhao Shizhen was speechless for a while and said to Ieyasu: "What are your reasons for insisting that my daughter marry this stupid kid?"

    "Alas, otherwise my Tokugawa family's fortune will be taken away by others" Tokugawa Ieyasu wiped the corners of his eyes and explained to Zhao Shizhen in a low voice.

    In fact, the little fat boy was the third oldest, and was born from Ieyasu¡¯s side room, so it was not his turn to be called ¡®Takechiyo¡¯.  However, Ieyasu's eldest son, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, was sentenced to death by Nobunaga before. Although Ieyasu, under pressure from the veteran Mikawa, had to save Nobuyasu's life by pretending to worship Zhao Hao as his adoptive father.

    However, 'in order to appease Onii-chan's anger', he had no choice but to execute Tsukuzanden, who had long disliked him, and then ordered Nobuyasu to become a monk in Koyasan.More than ten years old, he was sent as a hostage, not for my mother and daughter to take in both.  "

    When it comes to mother and daughter, Zhao Shizhen¡¯s face turned slightly red, and he quickly changed the topic and said, ¡°It seems that you were moved by his sincerity?¡±

    "What kind of sincerity? Ieyasu, I do lack maternal love, but I have no interest in taking care of someone else's mother." Tokugawa Ieyasu said depressedly: "But Hideyoshi has already done this. If my Ieyasu continues to be ignorant of good and evil, then he will attack me again.  , even my retainers will feel that I brought it upon myself."

    "You can't beat me again and again, so you can only surrender?" Zhao Shizhen said suddenly.

    "I haven't made up my mind yet. I have to consult my father for advice." Ieyasu shook his head and said, "But I must first determine the heir to prevent long nights and nightmares.

    "That monkey is using the banner of Lord Nobunaga. If he can make Takechiyo and Lord Nobunaga's niece become husband and wife, he will not be able to depose him." As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Hao who was chatting and laughing with Sen Rikyu and others eagerly.  :

    "What's more important is that Ajiang's current natal family is our Zhao family! No matter how arrogant Mr. Hideyoshi is, he would not dare to offend his father!"

    ps. This time, the truth has come true, and it shouldn¡¯t get stuck again.  That's all for tonight. I'll go to the hospital early tomorrow morning. I have to go to bed early and try to come back early to write (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
