390 Episode 389: Oqing and the Thousand Generations - Part One

SIDE: Takigawa Oqing

"Oh, clever, huh?

"Yes! Master Elle taught me!!

The season is almost winter. Master Julia peeked in as she was making something that warmed her neck called a muffler.

It's hard to say knitting, but I can finally make one while teaching El. It's fun to shape yourself a little bit.

I want to give it to my father, who says winter will be cold.

"You can't have Atashi, can you? Knitting properly."

"Master Julia is amazing at martial arts! I envy you!"

Julia told me you can knit a lot, but from me, Julia is more amazing.

Because I can't do anything. I can't do anything about martial arts, medicine, painting, or helping the Lord with his work.

That's why I decided. I…, I intend to dedicate all of this to the house and the temple of Kuyuan….

My name is Qing. I'm Shiqing Takigawa's daughter. It will be fifteen this year.

I was born in Koga, Omi. He is the daughter of a father who lived in a crude mansion and plowed fields, albeit by name.

It wasn't even poor enough to be sold, but it was a life where fathers and men could go to work in other countries and eat and go.

I have seen many times that the children of neighboring residents are taken to buy people. I'll just starve to death even if I stay. Parents let go of my crying child because it's just as good to be able to eat rice no matter what the situation.

When I was in Omi, at my age, it was time to decide where to marry me. Is it a nearby martial arts house? Is it a clan? I don't know because I didn't hear more about it.

That was around the fall harvest. All of a sudden I gathered together those whose father was the Lord of family or kinship ministers.

I wonder what it is. I can't forget that everyone spoke that way and had an uneasy look on their face.

My brother, who left the house, served in Ozhang. That was the report.

I left the house because of the boring "Isaka", but my brother was a worker, well looked after and liked by the residents, so everyone was happy that he was a clerk.

I was just surprised afterwards. A report that we are all going to go to Ozhang. It was because my brother Loc was more expensive than I thought, but my uncle, who entered the Ikeda family in Ozhang, is already dead.

I think there was a lot of disagreement among relatives and ministers. That's all it's scary to go where you've never even seen it.

You will abandon your ancestral lands.

But my father decided that he would go out of his way to send me a memoir that he would take care of our lives and that he would starve if he didn't go to work in another country again this year.

This is also why a huge sum of money has been sent to me like I've never seen before. I remember being more scared than happy with the amount of money that everything had never even tried good money.

After that, I acted fast. When his father gave up the fields that preceded his harvest to the clan as they were, he shook off the clans and neighbors who would stop him, and went for tailings with hundreds of relatives, ministers and their families who also took him.

My father also persuaded the old man to leave because he is old and useless to take him.

It was tough to almost get attacked by a burglar on the way, or to be captured by a dirigible on the road if suspicious, but we got to Oozhong.

The first thing that surprised me about Ozhang was the size of the sea and the ship called Nanban, a black and unseen size ship in the town of Makimachi called Tsushima.

The sea is nowhere near as wide as the opposite shore. I had asked my father to travel on a big boat, but I didn't think it was as big as that.

My father himself was surprised, and I didn't know then that that Nanban ship was a Kurumiya ship he was now serving.

Almost two years after that. I was not counted surprised to come to Ozhang, and my father, who was also anonymous in Koga, was now so born that there was no stranger in the neighborhood.

I hear those who inherited the former realm of the Takigawa family in Koga laughed at us with joy at first. But even since then, in Koga, you can't live in the fields alone, and now those who migrate to Ozheng are constantly followed.

It is also heard that those who inherited the former territories now speak of resentment. If it's okay with my father, I've come from Koga thinking that I and many will be generous to the Kurumiya family, but in the end, all I've been generous about is the Hozuki family, which both the territory and the governor have given to my brother.

My father said that since he came to me too, the fringe had been incredible.

I was prepared to be told to go somewhere soon to my daughter-in-law, but after all this time I did not talk about it, and I became seen from my surroundings with the Chiyodai of the Hozuki family at some point that it was the side room of my lord.

Instead, my father and mother have asked me if I have someone I would like to accompany, but if I can be commanded, I will go anywhere, but when they say I want to accompany them...

I want to remain in my lord's side chamber. It's also because I can live without starvation, but my lords and my wives are all close.

You always smile constantly, and you really care about me.

So much so that I feel like a dream of a butterfly.

Father, mother and brother can all live tomorrow without starvation. I can't help but wish these days would go on forever if I could live with such a lord and his wife.

No matter what you want, you can never say.

SIDE: Hope Moon Chiyo Girl

Something is a little strange about the Lord and Elle back from Qingzhou. What happened?

Troubled? No. Are you in trouble? Maybe something moves in this river?

That's when me and Lord Qing were called to El. I feel like it's a shitty story because of how I paid for it.

"We need to be clear about the future of the two of us. Let me know what you two think."

Clarify the future. Does that mean it is difficult to maintain the status quo?

Right now, me and Lord Kiyoshi are going to be seen as the unofficial side chambers of my lord. At least externally.

It would be convenient to turn down the fringe that comes from all over the place. That's not the way it is. Did Oda's Great Hall tell you anything?

"I'll take care of everything."

It was the Lord Qing who replied first. He said he didn't know what was too difficult, and I guess there's no other way to reply.

It just looks like that look pushed the emotions to death.

"Don't get me wrong. We have no intention of commanding you both. I want you to decide for yourself. Will it remain the side room of the hall, or will I marry you in the house or somewhere else? If it's not a side chamber, we'll make sure you have the best choice possible."

But you still don't order El. Speaking of fate, you can't defy it, and you can't defy it.

Lord Qing is confused, isn't he? You don't seem to know what to say, you look at me like you're asking for help.

"Dear El. We would like to know the opinions of our lords and lords. What are your thoughts and those of your lord, who is no one's opinion?"

Nevertheless, I am a little short on information to respond as well. Your Highness should have seen how you feel, but unfortunately, it is the Lord and His Highness who cannot be counted as I am.

"Right. Let's talk from the beginning."

Master Elle told my words how this happened this time. Was Oda's Great Hall still guided?

When I went to the tea party the other day, I found out that we were really just samurai, because Lord Tsuchida was showing me if we were going to be late. I thought so.

When I think of the Kuyuan family, should I go to the same house or another house for my wife? Even though there are already a hundred and twenty lords, it will only be the burden of the lord if we enter now.

Just once. I also want you to see me as one woman.
