Just when Masara secretly came to the Tokaido area and directed the battle against the Suruga Imakawa family behind the scenes, in Okazaki Castle in the western part of Mikawa Kingdom of Tokaido, Matsuhira Motoyashi Masamoto was looking at his daughter Ah-Ki. £∝
Her daughter, Agui, was suddenly released by the Toei Imakawa family and escorted back to the Matsue family half a month ago. However, her son Takechiyo and the families of other retainers of the Matsue family were not released with them, but were still under house arrest at the Toei Imakawa family as hostage.
Although she and her daughter were released for some reason (in fact, Masara asked her second son Nobura to release her through letters. Masarara, who knew the history of the Masarara, knew the power of this Masarara, and Masarara's next plan was to target the Suruga Imakawa family, but the Masarara's family behind her could not be underestimated, so Masara deliberately released this lady back, so she added a little trouble to Masara Motoyasu, and even a time bomb, thereby reducing the danger of Masarara's attack from the rear while he took advantage of his chance to attack the Suruga Imakawa family). However, she was naturally very happy to be able to regain freedom at this time.
As for Matsuhei Motoyashi and others, although they were indeed a little disappointed after their son Takechiyo and the families of the retainers were under house arrest by the Tomeng Imagawa family, at least the wife and the princess have returned safely. From this point, the members of the Matsuhei family felt a little friendly to the Tomeng Imagawa family. Although it would not make them immediately less prepared for the Tomeng Imagawa family. At least they had a little more favorable impression of the Tomeng Imagawa family. Some people even believed that even if they surrendered to the Tomeng Imagawa family again in the future, then surrendering to the Tomeng Imagawa family would be much better than the Suruga Imagawa family.
On this day, there were many cherry trees in the courtyard of Okazaki Castle, with caterpillars crawling on the trees. While preparing for the Chinese Valentine's Day for Miss Agui, the maids were always careful not to let caterpillars fall on their bodies. Some were busy hanging colorful paper on the branches of the bamboo, some placed tables and stools in the courtyard, some carried candlesticks, and some were responsible for placing sacrifices. Because they were afraid that the caterpillars would fall on their bodies, the maids would be careful when they entered and exited.
Semeihito put on the wooden clogs placed in the corridor, looked back at the maid Ah Wan who was placing the table, and asked blankly: "Do you know what happened to the Chinese Valentine's Day?"
"I don't know very well."
"The Chinese Valentine's Day is a festival for those women who have worked hard to weave. In the palace, it is said that the Chinese Valentine's Day is called a sacrificial ceremony."
"Send a sacrifice..."
"Yes. We have introduced this Feng from Kyoto to Junfu, and have carefully consulted the people in the officialdom for this. Let's worship this way tonight." Speaking of this, Senahime seemed to remember something, and she covered her mouth and burst out laughing.
"What is the madam laughing at?"
"Awan, you probably think the lord is arrogant."
"Of course. He is the general of this city."
"Matsuhira Tibetan." Sena Hime smiled again, "In the palace, Tibetans are just characters like maids who move tables, candlesticks, offerings, etc. You tell me, see how the lord will react, look at his expression, and you will understand. When I think of this, I want to laugh."
"Oh, it turns out that kind of character is actually like that."
"I often find it hard to speak of it. But Okazaki Castle and Beijing City are different from heaven and earth..."
The capital that Senahime mentioned at this time did not refer to Kyoto, but the capital of the Suruga Imakawa family. At this time, due to Matsuhei Motoyasu's deliberate blockade, she didn't know that the capital she had grown up had been surrounded by the army of the Tomeng Imakawa family. On the contrary, when talking about the performance of Matsuhei Motoyasu as a hostage in Jungawa, she suddenly missed Jungawa and her expression became dim.
When Senaki was sent to Okazaki Castle by the guards of the Tomeng Imagawa family, it was March day. She originally thought that Okazaki Castle was just a dilapidated country town (she married Matsuhei Motoyashi in the Tomeng Palace. Before that, she either stayed in Jung Palace as a hostage to the Tomeng Palace, or later became a hostage to the Tomeng Kingdom Imagawa family. Before that, she had never been to Okazaki Castle). However, unexpectedly, when she saw it with her own eyes, she discovered that Okazaki Castle was actually very grand. The Matsuhei even built an ordinary palace for Senaki and his son (unfortunately, now only the mother has come, but her son is still in the hands of the Tomeng Imagawa family). Now, people call her "Lady Chuyama" because of that okazaki temple.
Senahime originally expected to have a living place with a corridor in the city, but she was ashamed to speak. When she was told that she had built a new gospel near Tushan, Senahime swallowed her dissatisfaction. Fortunately, she finally stopped being hostage and lived alone in house arrest for a long time (even if she had children, she resolutely felt lonely when her husband was not around). This time, after finally gaining freedom, she decided to tie her husband Matsuhira Motoyashi tightly to her side and never let him leave for a moment.
However, after counting on his fingers, her husband Matsuhei Motoyashi has not come again for eight days since he arrived in Okazaki Castle last time. He originally agreed to come once every three days... Senahitoyashi was very dissatisfied, but today she heard that her husband Matsuhei Motoyashi was coming tonight, her dissatisfaction disappeared.
Four tables and nine candlesticks have been arranged in the courtyard as usual. The annual Chinese Valentine's Day reminds people of the ancient legend of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meeting.
"Madam, do you know?" After the maid Ahwan packed the altar, he spoke as if he was talking to himself, "I heard that Mr. Takechiyo and the lady of the Oda family are about to get engaged. Congratulations to Mrs.!"
In fact, the engagement between Matsuhira Motoyashi's legitimate son and the princess of the Oda family was confirmed as a condition for the alliance between the two sides when Matsuhira Motoyashi went to the Oda family's Kiyosu Castle to form an alliance with Oda Nobunaga. However, Matsuhira Motoyashi also clearly told Oda Nobunaga that his only son Takechiyo was still under house arrest as a hostage in the hands of the Tooe Imakawa family. However, Oda Nobunaga did not care about this and still confirmed the marriage.
Matsuhei Motoyasu also understood the true meaning of Oda Nobunaga, that is, no matter whether his legitimate son Takechiyo was under house arrest at this time, even if Takechiyo died and Matsuhei Motoyasu had a new legitimate son, the legitimate son of the Matsuhei family must marry the Oda family, which is the key to ensuring the stability of the two families. Of course, although Takechiyo is now under house arrest by the Imakawa family in Tooe, he has not died after all, so this time the marriage between the two families is Takechiyo, and the bride is Princess Wood of the Oda family.
However, Senahime, who had just been released back to Okazaki Castle, had never known about this marriage, so when she heard the maid's words, she immediately asked in shock:
"The lady of Takechiyo and Oda's family?"
When the maid Awan heard Sena Hime so surprised, she turned around. Seeing Sena Hime's terrible expression, she was shocked.
"when?"
“It’s about June…”
"Where did you hear it?"
"I heard it from the maid of Huaqingyuan."
"But you? Is that woman who is rumored to be favored by her lord?"
"Yes. The lady asked me to inquire about this matter, so I went to Sandaocheng and heard the news. The lady must also know about this matter..."
When Sena Hitomi was very angry when she recalled that Matsuhei Motoyasu deliberately sent her and her daughter to the Otani near Chuyama in the north of Okazaki Castle. In order to facilitate Matsuhei Motoyasu to have a tryst with other women, she also had the intention of staying away from her. So she became more and more angry about herself. A fire of nameless karma rose in her chest, not only out of jealousy, but also because of humiliation, and of course she was also a little sad.
But since you know such a major thing, there is obviously a tacit understanding and agreement between her and Matsuhei Motoyashi. Sena Hime was extremely angry about this. What she couldn't tolerate the most was that Matsuhei Motoyashi had never revealed this to her so far.
For this reason, she couldn't help but secretly regretful in her heart: "I was actually played with by them!"
Although the power of the Imakawa family in the Jungawa family was declining after the death of Yoshimoto Imakawa family (she doesn't know that the Imakawa family in the Jungawa family is almost destroyed), she is the niece of Yoshimoto after all. And Motoyashi Matsuhei actually married his son Takechiyo and the daughter of Oda Nobunaga, the enemy of the Jungawa family...
