A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

In addition to Mrs. Kodaira's purchase, the other samurai ashigaru who participated in the guard and were replaced and returned home finally made a trip to Kyoto and bought a lot of things carefully.

After packing their large and small bags, most of the Yamauchi family took some of Kyoto's scenery and returned to their hometowns.

It took three or two days to walk to Ise Bay to catch a boat. We had a smooth sailing and soon returned to Ejiri. It felt like the journey to Luka was actually very convenient. Think about Takeda who died on the road after walking for thirty years, think about Imagawa who died on the way, think about Uesugi who died of blood collapse just before he was about to leave. This road is not easy.

Back in the mountains, Xiaoping made a rare trip to the agency office. He pretended to care about the people's livelihood and asked people to prepare for the autumn harvest. He also expressed condolences to the grassroots colleagues and encouraged them to continue working hard to serve the public.

Once again, the wife was reunited at the Zixiaolu house, and the whole car's belongings were taken out one by one for them to distribute. Since no money is actually collected and the silk profits are used to purchase them, many things cannot be specific to individuals.

Although it is not fair and just, Xiao Pingtai basically bought a lot of each one, and everyone can share some. Even their little maid can get some three melons and two dates, and Yingying Yanyan is very happy.

Probably when distributing these women's products, women will not pay attention to other things. This point should be about the same for all women ranging from ninety-nine to those who have just learned to walk. Their expressions are so focused and loving. They can be said to be detached. Except for themselves, nothing in the outside world can affect them. Women are really an amazing existence.

After they all happily selected the things they liked, the lively scene gradually calmed down.

Xiao Pingtai observed that most of these women's husbands or sons and brothers had high status, and if they were low, they would not be able to join the group. The younger ones among them care more about cosmetics and always hope to dress themselves beautifully so that they can serve their men and outshine other ladies.

As for older people, they will choose simple and elegant jewelry. Jewelry like pearls that can show their elegance, elegance and decent are very popular. Just like in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the queen does not use the pleasant green jadeite, but uses dongzhu, but Concubine Hua likes ostentatious jewelry. It shows that the preferences of different women of different ages are actually changing.

It was Mrs. Hosokawa who spoke first again. She was used to seeing the ups and downs of the Wu family and had experienced all the storms. I don’t know how long before these young women jumped out of the joy of shopping. After all, she is an old lady in the family, and her words are impeccable. First, on behalf of the wives group, I want to thank Mrs. Xiaoping for buying things for them. He also praised Xiao Pingtai for being very capable and knowing how to make money. Xiao Pingtai and her talked a few words and were about to ask for water.

Mrs. Hosokawa asked an eight or nine-year-old girl next to her to bring tea to Heita. The little girl glanced at Xiao Pingtai timidly, but there was no sign of like or dislike on her face.

The main reason is that Xiao Pingtai does not look very good. In addition to not having to work in the fields in the past two years, she has become a bit richer and looks better. She no longer has a hunched back. After all, you don’t have to work hard in the fields for a year with your back to the sky and your face to the loess. As for the skin, it still hasn't turned white, it's slightly darker. Even after raising it all winter this winter, it still hasn't turned white. When you smile, your teeth are also very uneven. After all, they were badly worn out by eating poor grains and grains in the early years. Therefore, the whole person does not look majestic, and looks cheerful.

After reading this, the little girl stepped back behind Mrs. Hosokawa. Mrs. Hosokawa said something to her, and the little girl looked quite embarrassed and laughed softly. She quickly covered her mouth, and Mrs. Hosokawa nodded when she saw her like this and said nothing more.

After Xiaopingta finished drinking the tea, Mrs. Hosokawa brought up the matter of the powder money. Xiaopingtai told them that they had already figured out something and there would be good news soon. Mrs. Hosokawa stopped asking. After all, being able to save money and get so many gifts in a month or two is already amazing.

Xiaopingtai wandered around the mountain for half a month, doing some random things. After resting enough, he took Aji with him and went to the city to ask for leave from Yamauchi Yoshiji, saying that he wanted to go out to inspect the local customs.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu asked without thinking where to make a fortune? Xiao Pingtai had no choice but to say that he had some ideas but was not sure yet, so he wanted to explore the way first. Before he finished speaking, he saw Yamauchi Yoshiharu writing a note quickly. The calligraphy was smooth and flowing without any delay. Then he signed the monogram coquettishly. He picked up the piece of paper, gently dried the ink, and handed it to Xiaoping. too.

Xiao Pingtai took a look, what a guy! A thousand essays! Yamauchi Yoshiharu didn't talk nonsense. He said lightly that just doubling the amount would be enough and not asking for too much. After all, greed is not enough.

Double? Is doubling that easy now? The big guy talks and the little guy breaks his legs.

Xiaoping was fuming, but he didn't dare to talk back to his pretty good boss. I could only scratch my head and become even more worried. When I left the city, I mentioned to Uncle Tsunaliang that his wife had invested his 200 yuan of private money. Uncle Tsuna Liang was very calm and let Xiao Heita take care of things by himself.

So Xiao Pingtai went home and changed into a short cloth, asked Aji to pack a small package, took a bamboo hat and a bamboo stick and set off quietly.

Hida Kingdom is actually not that far away from Yamauchi. Koheita and Aji crossed the Kiso area and almost entered Hida Kingdom. In fact, it only took two people two days of walking to get there. Hida is currently most famous for its woodworking. There are very good wood crafts and carpenters in the area. The imperial court and the shogunate often call on craftsmen from here to build various large-scale buildings. This bowl of rice that is still eaten today has not declined since the Edo period.

The most famous Chunqing lacquerware in later generations was only in its rudiment and had not fully developed into the famous name it would become in later generations. Koheita didn't care about making lacquerware either, he just walked along the mountain road to observe the lacquer forest.

July is the season for cutting raw lacquer. Sure enough, you can see people using clam shells or large leaves to collect the raw lacquer, and then seal it in bamboo tubes for collection.

Xiao Pingtai didn't give up and went around chatting with people. When others saw him asking, he didn't hide it. After all, there is no secret in planting sumac. They are planted in many places, so it's okay to talk to him.

However, these lacquers do not belong to these farmers. They have to hand over the excess raw lacquer to the local Hirose family based on the number of lacquer trees. They can only keep a little for themselves. Although the raw lacquer is expensive, it is just enough to make ends meet.

As he was talking, Aji, who was jumping up and down next to him, suddenly fell down hard.

Sorry, I'm half an hour late.
