I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Page 856

"After a year of development, although the wine business is booming, but taking into account the two major businesses of silk and wine, I can't keep up with energy."

"So after a serious discussion with my father, I decided to reduce the size of our silk industry a little bit."

"After hearing that Mr. Yukimura happened to have plans to get involved in the silk business recently, we took the initiative to contact Mr. Yukimura, and expressed our willingness to sell our shops in Nara to Mr. Yukimura and provide corresponding purchase channels. "

"Master Yukimura is also a straightforward person, so he agreed immediately."

At this moment, Miura showed a smug smile while holding up 3 fingers.

"Give us 3000 big judgment money directly, and give us an izakaya with a good location under his command."

As soon as Miura's words came out, everyone at the banquet gasped.

"Miura-kun! It's really you!" Someone shouted excitedly.

"That's great." Someone sighed softly, "I also want to become friends with a big man like Mr. Yukimura."

Seeing the reaction of the friends in front of him, the complacent look on Miura's face became more intense.

Yukimura and the others are real bigwigs in the Osaka business circle, and they are also a legendary strange man.

Yukimura's real name is Sakata Yogoro, and Yukimura is just a common name for him. He came from the bottom, and he was originally an ordinary hooligan in Osaka.

Later, with hard work and opportunities, in just a few decades, he changed from an ordinary hooligan to one of the few giants in Osaka.

His prowess is not limited to his business background, he has a deep relationship with many powerful yakuzas in Osaka. According to rumors, as long as the gun is in hand, no ordinary person can get close to him.

It is precisely because of his excellent spear skills that people used the name of Sanada Yukimura, a famous general who used a long spear as a weapon 200 years ago, as a common name for him.

In short, this is an extremely awesome person, so awesome that just enjoying a little business mutual benefit with him is worth bragging in front of friends.

While Miura was silently enjoying the pursuit of his friends, he secretly squinted at Ogata who was not far away.

Miura hated Ogata quite a lot.

Because he took away the precious good cabbage.

Miura is indifferent to married women, so the current A-cho has no attraction for him at all.

Since reading through the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms when he was a child, the character that Miura can't understand the most is what is the attraction of Cao Cao's married woman?

Seeing Ogata, Miura felt a pain in his heart.

Such a good woman was ruined by a guy who couldn't even see her face clearly.

Such a good woman should belong to a powerful man like them.This kind of guy who needs to sell tooth powder on the street and act as a bodyguard for others to make a living should be with that kind of low-quality woman.

When he was bragging about their cooperation between Miuraya and Yukimura just now, he specially used a very loud volume, and emphasized in a very heavy tone the 3000 taels and the izakaya he got from Yukimura.

The purpose is to show off in front of this annoying man, to satisfy one's sense of superiority, and to achieve a feeling of "revenge in disguise".

So at this moment, he desperately wanted to see emotions such as envy, jealousy, and inferiority on Ogata's face.

However, after turning his gaze to Ogata, Miura was disappointed.

Because Ogata was wearing a bamboo hat and a face scarf, he couldn't see his face at all clearly

Why is this guy wearing a hat and a face scarf all the time

Ever since he saw this guy follow Chuguang into the room and never took off his bamboo hat and face towel, Miura has been wanting to ask him why he has been wearing these two things all the time

But since I couldn't find the time to ask the question, I could only hold the question.

Since he couldn't see Ogata's current expression, Miura turned his attention to A-Machi, wanting to see if A-Machi showed any expression that would make him extremely happy after hearing his bragging just now.

The expression Miura most wanted to see on Machi's face was naturally yearning and envy.

After all, 3000 taels of gold is a huge amount of money that normal people cannot save in 10 lifetimes.Miura thought to herself that this woman who was forced to live a hard life with Ogata, let alone 3000 taels, might not even have seen 30 taels.

However, Miura was once again disappointed

A-Machi is expressionless now.

At this time, A-Ming was sitting neatly behind Chuguang's side, without any other expression on his face.

After being bored, Miura curled his lips, looked away, and then comforted himself to find a reason why Machi had no expression on his face:

Could this woman be in a daze just now, didn't she hear what I just said?

After finding a very reasonable reason for himself, the smile on Miura's face became better again.

The author didn't sleep very well yesterday, so today's condition is not very good, so today's chapter is slightly shorter.

It’s been a long time since I wrote such a short chapter, the author himself feels a little ashamed

Chapter 627 Ogata (Tactical Leaning Back): What is Backstage? (below)【7400】

Because Miura didn't look at A-cho at this time, he didn't see the corner of A-cho's mouth twitch when he just looked away:

Isn't it just a deal with someone, and then mutual benefit? Is this something very remarkable?

In fact, Miura's bragging just now, O-Machi heard every word.

Regarding Miura's bragging just now, Ah-cho's feelings can be simply put into two words: that's it?

To give a similar example, Ah-Ming's feelings now are probably like hearing a bunch of kids bragging about how far he managed to throw his pee today.

You hear a bunch of kids sternly bragging about their peeing skills, and your thoughts are probably nothing more than "that's it" and "is that such a big deal?".

I've been by Ayi's side for too long, so my eyes have become strange unconsciously?

The corners of A-Ming's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled knowingly.

Since meeting Ogata, various "big scenes" have followed one after another.

Breaking through Nijo Castle, destroying Shiranui, and smashing the 1-strong army of the Shogunate

Perhaps before meeting Ogata, A-machi might still be surprised by the big business that Miura said made 3000 taels of gold and an izakaya in one go, and felt that the Miura family was very powerful.

but now

There was no fluctuation in A-Ming's heart, only feeling "this is it?".

After enjoying the flattery from his friends for a while, Miura raised his hand to signal for his friends to calm down.

"Okay, let's have a good chat later, let's continue to listen to Miss Chuguang's performance now, we are in such a mess, Miss Chuguang can't play."

According to the agreement, Chuguang will play 3 pieces of music at the banquet tonight, but he just finished playing the first piece.

After the banquet slowly became quiet under Miura's gesture of raising his hand, Hatsuko showed a thankful smile to Miura, and then plucked the strings again.

Just as Chu Guang plucked the strings again, one person left the table suddenly.

This person's name is Takasugi, and he is more fond of drinking than listening to music and chatting.

From just now, whether it was Hatsumitsu playing, or other friends praising Miura there, Takasugi kept drinking there.

With so much drink in his belly, Takasugi just feels like urinating.

He wasn't very interested in music at all, so even though Chuguang had started playing again, Takasugi picked up his saber without thinking, left the table quietly, and prepared to go outside to solve his physical problems.

Leaving the meeting to go to the toilet or do other things is a common thing, so no one cares about Takasugi's leaving the meeting.

Everyone just glanced at Takasugi who left the table and continued to do their own things, or listened carefully to Chuguang's performance, or pretended to be listening carefully, but in reality they were in a daze

As a luxury teahouse with one of the highest grades in Osaka, Xu Tianya naturally has no shortage of toilets.

There are not only many bathrooms, but also extraordinarily clean, without any peculiar smell.

After comfortably solving his physical problems in the bathroom, Takasugi, who kept hiccupping, held on to the saber at his waist while striding back to the banquet.

With two knives around my waist all the time, I am really tired. It seems that I need to spend a little time to get used to the new identity of "samurai".

Takasugi let out a "humming" laugh, and patted the double knives on his waist.

Takasugi is the son of a wealthy businessman in Osaka who has just developed in recent years.

Almost every well-developed merchant will try to change his family from a merchant to a samurai Takasugi, and they are no exception.

Half a month ago, Takasugi and his family finally succeeded in using the method of "recruiting a samurai to be their son-in-law" to transform Takasugi into a child of the samurai family.

Becoming a samurai is one of Takasugi's long-cherished wishes.And this long-cherished wish is now finally fulfilled.

During this period of time, let alone the saber, Gao Shan wished to fall asleep with his saber in his arms.

The bathroom was not far from Miura's room, and after a while, the door of the room appeared within Takasugi's field of vision.

However, at this moment, an old man dressed very simply and holding a bucket and a rag appeared in front of him.

Because Takasugi still doesn't know how to wear a knife, the knife on his waist is worn crookedly, which is extremely unseemly.

In the normal way of wearing it, the scabbard should protrude towards the back of the person.

However, the scabbard of Takasugi's sword protrudes obliquely behind Takasugi, almost straight to Takasugi's left side.

The old man, who was about to pass by Takasugi, frowned at this moment. The corridor is not very wide. With Takasugi's sword-wielding method, nearly half of the corridor was blocked by Takasugi's scabbard.

Touching the samurai's scabbard was tantamount to provoking the samurai, which was common sense in the Edo period.

In this era, it is a taboo to dirty or step over a samurai's saber, and it is also a taboo to touch a samurai's scabbard.

"Hey! You've touched my scabbard! You're a brave boy!" This kind of words were very easy to hear in the streets and alleys in the Edo period.

A very few dazed people would even draw their swords because of this, wanting to duel with the person who touched their scabbard.

People will collectively refer to a series of disputes caused by "touching other people's scabbards" as "sheathing".

In order not to cause "sheathing", the old man frowned tightly while leaning his body against the wall next to him, keeping away from Takasugi's saber as much as he could.

The old man's plan is half successful.

Judging from the distance between the two, the old man was already walking close to the wall, and it was almost impossible to touch Takasugi's scabbard again. However, he ignored the huge bucket in his hand.

thump.

When the two passed by each other, the old man's bucket and Takasugi's scabbard lightly bumped into each other.

Takasugi immediately turned his head like a conditioned reflex, and looked at the old man who touched his scabbard.

Seeing the old man dressed plainly, with a bucket and a rag in his hand, dressed like a waiter, Gao Shan immediately shouted at the old man aggressively:

"Hey old man, you touched my scabbard."

The old man is not a good-tempered person.

He already thought that it was Takasugi who was wearing the knife in that ghostly way, and the old man who felt that he had done his best and had no fault, reprimanded without hesitation and without showing any weakness:

"Young man, since you don't want others to touch your scabbard, then wear it better for me."

Takasugi raised his eyebrows immediately.

Under the influence of alcohol, Takasugi pulled out the knife from his waist without thinking.

"Old man, have you seen this thing in my hand? Do you want to try to be disrespected by a samurai?"

Disrespect is the prerogative of beheading civilians on the grounds that warriors can be disrespectful.

Takasugi who suddenly drew his sword made the old man's expression change, and he took 2 steps back quickly.

Due to his advanced age, the old man's legs and feet were already weak. When he subconsciously stepped back quickly, his left foot accidentally tripped over his right foot, and he fell to the ground.

Gao Shan was very satisfied with the old man's reaction. After laughing a few times, he put the knife back into its sheath.

"I'll spare you this time, and pay attention to me next time."

Takasugi walked away triumphantly, laughing in his heart and said:

Finally, I have experienced what it feels like to be a "sheath"!

Takasugi, who has just become a samurai not long ago, has long wanted to try to yell at others, "You touched my scabbard!" What it feels like.

It's a pity that after finally becoming a samurai, Gao Shan did not have the opportunity to try "sheathing".

Today finally got his wish.I met a man who was very plainly dressed and felt quite easy to bully.

Because he just wanted to try to yell at others, "You touched my scabbard", so he didn't intend to do anything to the old man from the beginning. After scaring the old man, Takasugi didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

Gao Shan was too lazy to talk to the old man, but the old man "never forgets" Gao Shan.

With a gloomy face, the old man slowly stood up from the ground, looking at Gao Shan's leaving back.

After seeing Gao Shan open the door of a certain room not far away and enter that room, the old man silently memorized the location of that room, and then left quickly.

When Takasugi came back, Chuguang had just finished playing the second piece.

As soon as he sat back in his seat, he heard someone ask him:

"Takasugi, what's the matter? She looks very happy."
