Chapter 061
When Tsurumaru Kuninaga and Yagen Toushirou came over with two large packages, they saw two people, one tall and one short, sitting under the eaves, eating with bowls in their hands.
From a distance, I saw Rengoku Kyojuro's pile of rice bowls that looked like a small pink mountain, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga arrived before he did.
"Yaoyan, I'm so sad. The master is eating alone behind our backs again."
Yagen Toushirou took a slow step and leaned back slightly to avoid Tsurumaru Kuninaga who wanted to lean his entire body against him.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga wanted to rely on someone and act heartbroken, but not only did he fail to do so, he almost fell to the ground with the package in his arms.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga staggered and managed to hold on to avoid falling, looking resentfully at the black-haired boy who had jumped over him and walked under the eaves. But seeing that the other party was not going to cooperate, he could only restrain his acting spirit.
Looking at the frustrated look on He's body, which was glowing white, Qingxi not only did not comfort him, but on the contrary sent a big smiling face in his direction to watch his fun.
She pointed at Rengoku Kyojuro beside her and said, "How could I be eating alone? Didn't you see Kyojuro eating with me?
Besides, I still eat it openly.
"The clinic should be open for dinner by now. Haven't you eaten yet?" Qingxi asked as he took something out of his food backpack.
Two sets of bowls and chopsticks, strawberry rice, Voltaic puffer fish sashimi, fried crab pork chop, sweet and sour jewel meat, stir-fried bean sprouts and earthworms, ten-yolk fried spring sprouts, shallow clam soup, and finally the dessert is mushroom pudding.
"Not yet." Tsurumaru Kuninaga put the package in his arms on the corridor, pushed himself up with both hands and sat down on the corridor. "Just now, the Anbu staff delivered two large packages, both of which are addressed to you, Master. I can smell the fragrance of peaches inside."
"Oh, that should have been sent by someone from Momoyama." When Momoko Kiyomi was mentioned, people immediately thought of Yota and the others who were learning Thunder Breathing from Kuwajima Jigoro in Momoyama.
She put out a small rice bucket and filled it with strawberry rice for the two of them. She urged, "Let's eat together first... I don't want to wash too many dishes, so just take whatever you want. I won't share the food."
Anyone who has been with Qingxi for a long time will notice that she hates washing dishes, because every time she washes dishes, her face is smelly. However, she always washes them and puts them in the cupboard.
None of the four of them had the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping, so this meal could be said to have been spent with Tsurumaru Kuninaga chatting about all sorts of things.
During this time, Qingxi saw that Kabuki seemed eager to try the fugu sashimi, so she put a piece of sashimi into its bowl. After watching it eat it in one bite, she put another half bowl into its bowl and let it eat quietly on its own.
After lunch, Qingxi was about to wash the dishes with the other two, but before she could even stand up, she was pushed back down by a pair of hands. Then, another hand stuffed the dysprosium ball into her arms, and yet another hand rubbed her head...
Qingxi lowered her head and looked at the coiled Diwan face to face, then looked up again and saw the three people who came down the corridor and squatted by the well to wash dishes. She felt both amused and angry.
When did the three of them become so in sync?
Qingxi muttered in his heart.
"But—" he fell back with the kabana ball, "It's so nice not to have to wash dishes!!!"
Roll to the left, then to the right, and then face up again to form a large human character.
Forced to roll around with the beast, Diwan's eyes were red and rolling around. She struggled to get out of Qingxi's arms and lay on top of her head, so that no matter how hard she rolled, she couldn't get to it.
The three people in the dishwashing team worked quickly. They didn't put the washed dishes and lunch buckets back into the kitchen, but brought them back and asked Qingxi to put them away herself. Then it was time to unpack the packages.
Unwrapping the outermost furoshiki revealed an ordinary wooden box. Unsurprisingly, it was filled with dried peaches. Opening another box, I saw a very, very, very thick letter outside the box, and the box itself was still filled with dried peaches...
Qingxi skillfully closed one of the box lids. "Here, Yaoyan, take these to the clinic and share them with everyone. The remaining one will be divided among the four of us. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take us to finish it."
She let them divide it among themselves first, and she picked up the envelope that was twice as thick as the others, which looked like it was a letter sent by someone else in Taoshan.
Well, actually this doesn’t need to be called an envelope. It would be better to call it a letter box.
She opened the outer cover, and the next moment the letters inside fell out because her hands were too small to hold them.
Picking up the letter with "My Wife Zenitsu" written on the outside, Qingxi's mouth twitched, "Does that kid Zenitsu have so much to say to me?"
They were not very familiar with each other. In a year, she and Momoyama only exchanged three or five letters, and the content was just casual chat. What's more, she didn't even know what the other person looked like, so how could she know him well enough to send her such a thick letter.
Rengoku Kyojuro picked up the letter that had fallen to his side and handed it to her, "Hmm, did you just learn how to write?"
What he said was already very euphemistic. Looking at those scattered and ugly characters, it's not wrong to say that they were written in a dog-crawling style.
"That should be the case," Kiyoki replied as he opened the letter written to him by Agatsuma Zenitsu. "The last time I received a letter from them, they asked Mr. Kuwashima to write it for them... It's a little ugly, but everyone is starting from scratch. If you practice more, your handwriting will become more beautiful."
"...That guy Zenitsu..." After reading two pages, Qingxi raised his hands to cover his face and couldn't bear to read any further.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who had been stuffing dried peaches into his mouth, turned his head and saw the girl's expression. He realized that something interesting must have happened, so he immediately moved closer. His white head hung on the girl's thin shoulders, his eyes staring straight at the letter in her hand.
"Huh? Master, you're going to marry the person who wrote this letter to you?"
Tsurumaru Kuninaga's words caught the other two off guard.
Rengoku Kyojuro hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the girl was not angry because Tsurumaru Kuninaga read the letter written to her, he also curiously leaned over.
Qingxi, who was surrounded on three sides, rolled his eyes and said, "How is that possible?"
"So what's this letter about?" Tsurumaru asked, cheekily. "It covers everything from how to fall in love to how to get married, how to make a living from getting married, and how to have children.
There are more than ten pages, all filled with plans for the two of them to live together in the future."
Rengoku Kyojuro couldn't help but frown at the forked eyebrows, and a slight discomfort arose in his heart, which he himself was not aware of. He said, "If that's the case, then he is too rude."
After a pause, Rengoku Kyojuro still looked disapproving, remembering what Kiyomi had told him about what kind of person Agatsuma Zenitsu was. "Even if your lifelong wish is to find a girl to marry, you can't just write about the enjoyment of marriage and send it to the girl without consulting her.
Who would be willing to hand over their daughter to him if he is like this?"
After Rengoku Kyojuro finished speaking, he waited for a while but didn't hear any voices from the people around him. He was stunned and looked up, then he found that everyone's eyes were on him.
His body stiffened under the stare, and his ears felt hot. "Hmm, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing." Qingxi blinked and sighed. "I just think Kyojuro is very reliable like this."
Rengoku Kyojuro turned his head back, his gaze falling back on the letter she was holding, and said vaguely, "Is that so?"
Yaken. All the stats on the Polarized Dagger were maxed out. Toushirou's gaze shifted between Rengoku Kyojuro and his own general. He had no idea what was going on, but the general didn't seem to be showing any signs of falling in love too soon. So, the question was...
His gaze fell on Rengoku Kyojuro. What was going on with him?
Rather than saying it’s puppy love, it’s better to say that… I was teased?
Think back to what your general just said?
【I just feel that Kyojuro is very reliable like this.】
The boy's ears turned red with just one sentence... The glasses worn by Yagen Toushirou reflected a cold white highlight, so did the admiral often speak to Rengoku Kyojuro like that without him knowing?
No, that's not right.
Yagen Toushirou quickly denied his own guess.
Judging from the tone of the sentence just now, the general is more inclined to be an adult to a minor, an adult to a child, and an elderly person to a grandchild, but the other party seems to have misunderstood... So is this still considered flirting?
This is probably the biggest mistake I've made.
Thinking of this, Yagen Toushirou couldn't help but begin to sympathize with Rengoku Kyojuro. Just as he was thinking about finding a suitable time to tactfully remind his general that if he didn't have any thoughts in that regard about the boy, it would be better to talk about the matter openly. Dragging it on would not be good for anyone.
But before he could put this idea into practice, he saw Tsurumaru Kuninaga winking at him out of the corner of his eye.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga opened his mouth and said to him silently and exaggeratedly: Let it be.
Different from Yagen Toushirou's idea, after all, everyone is still young. Although childhood sweethearts will get married and become husband and wife when they grow up, some childhood sweethearts are just childhood sweethearts. When they grow up, they will have their own significant other. If they suddenly intervene now, it would be okay for the master. After all, they are children in body, but adults in mind. But Rengoku Kyojuro is different. He is a real child. Even though he is 13 years old and can be regarded as half a strong laborer in the family in the Meiji era, he is still a young boy mentally. What if he gets upset for a while?
It would be better to just leave it alone and wait for a few years until he grows up, becomes an adult, has more experience and matures mentally. If at that time he still likes his master as much as he does now, and his master doesn't hate him, then it would seem natural for the two of them to get married, wouldn't it?
Yagen Toushirou: “…”
I put the letter from my wife Zenitsu back away.
Rengoku Kyojuro asked, "How are you going to deal with this letter, Aki?"
Qingxi smiled at him with her small white teeth showing, "Put it away and give it to his wife when he gets married."
Three people: "..."
The stupid things he did when he was a child were shown to his current wife... Ah Xi's trick is really amazing.
As for Rengoku Kyojuro, the slight discomfort in his heart had disappeared, leaving behind sympathy for Agatsuma Zenitsu, who was only a name heard of but not seen.
