What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

At this time, in the small main hall of Anheiya, Diarmuid was receiving a letter from Keiji and handing it to Fuyuya who was lying sideways on the tatami.

"Thank you, Diarmuid... who sent the letter?"

"A face-to-face child, I heard from him that someone gave him money and asked him to bring the letter."

While Keiji was answering Fuyuya's question, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on a wooden table, where he was writing something, and at the same time he was muttering to his younger sister.

"Tokyo Juju Street, gold two two three points; Tumimon, gold three two seven points; six streets, two two two points..."

Fuyuya randomly found a vacant house on the street where Izumiya was located, rented it as the main hall of Anheiya, and moved out of Izumiya soon after.

However, because the two families are very close to each other, after Tomiya proposed to ask Xiaoberry to help, considering that they have accepted many shelters from Tomiya, and it is really not safe for girls to help in izakaya, Genji and his wife agreed. over this matter.

Although the Anping House is now very powerful, most of the people are scattered in various streets. As the main hall, it is only a place for gathering and transactional work, so there are not many people coming and going.

Xiao Berry is now in charge of calculating the income and expenditure of Anping House last week. Growing up in a merchant family, she has a special sensitivity to numerical amounts. In addition, she has learned written records after being taught by Fuyomi a few times, so she can get used to it very quickly. this work.

However, Keiji seemed a little distressed, because his sister was working so hard at the desk, but this man looked like he had just woken up and opened the letter while yawning.

"Little Berry, I'm going back first. Mom and Dad said that if you are free in the afternoon, go back to the store."

The letter was delivered, and Keiji couldn't stay here for a long time, because there were still many things that needed his help in the store, so he had to give Fuyuya a glare, and then greeted his sister.

"Okay..." Xiao Berry raised her head, distractedly greeted him, and watched him trot back all the way.

"Huh...Xiao Berry, how is the account going?" After reading the letter, Fuyumi yawned and asked.

"Okay, Master Dongmi!" After two months of getting along, Xiaoberry finally learned to call Dongmi by Diarmuid's name. Come over and hand it to Toya.

Dongmi took it and flipped it over, the speed of which made people suspect that he didn't pay attention at all, and then said: "Well, there is no problem, there is no mistake in the calculation." He touched the top of Xiaoberry's hair while talking.

Xiao Berry immediately showed a happy expression when she heard the words, but she was puzzled and said, "Master Fumi, since you can calculate the amount at a glance, why do you need Xiao Berry to help you calculate it?"

"Well, I'm not that amazing, I can only calculate so quickly according to the records you have sorted out." Dongmi smiled, "And this thing is very troublesome to calculate, I'd better be lazy."

"Is that so?" Xiaoberry withdrew the account book suspiciously.

"Speaking of which, Genji-san and the others also asked you to go back yesterday, what happened?"

"Father said... that he is going to marry me." Xiao Berry's expression was a little gloomy.

"Now!?" Fuyuya's eyes widened.

"Of course not now, but I hope that I will marry after I turn 14...he is the son of the Meguro family who make tofu across the street."

Dongmi scratched her cheek, although her younger sister Qiuhua was cheated away at the age of 16, but it was still an expedient measure, marrying someone at such a young age, although it is very common in this era...

"Little Berry, are you happy with this marriage?"

Little Berry shook her head without hesitation.

"Then, I have a suggestion—how about you come to be my adopted daughter." Dongmi sat down cross-legged and said with sleeves rolled up.

"Eh?"

"It's almost like an adopted son. You just come and be my heir, and you will inherit this Anping House when the time comes."

"This, how can this work...it's impossible..." Xiao Berry was a little incoherent in the shock of this sudden proposal.

"It's feasible. The emperor can be a woman. It's no big deal to adopt an adopted daughter to inherit the family business. Anyway, I opened Anping House, as long as I like it."

This idea is indeed a bit whimsical, but in this era, it is very common to adopt an excellent adopted son to inherit the family business. For example, Director Kondo of the Shinsengumi was adopted by his father Shusuke Kondo to inherit the dojo. The current Aizu The feudal lord, Matsudaira Rongbao, is also the stepson of the previous feudal lord, Matsudaira Rongjing.

For Toyomi, it's just a matter of replacing the adopted son with the adopted daughter, and there is no problem.

An Ping House was originally a power developed in just two months, and it is impossible for him to marry and have children in this world. The heir is just as he said, as long as he is willing.

Even in the eyes of the bystander Diarmuid, Xiao Berry is a very suitable candidate. From many things, it can be seen that she is the one who can quickly calm down when encountering major events. Very good quality.

It's a pity that such a talented and beautiful jade, but because of her business background and the fact that she is a powerless girl, Xiao Berry still seems a little cautious, but that is completely smoothed out by life with the Genji couple. The scrupulousness of the edges and corners is a completely different matter.

Fuyumi shrugged and continued: "When the time comes, you can get married whenever you want, and marry whoever you want—at worst, I will snatch her back for you. Of course, you can get married if you don't want to, isn't it? Is it good?"

"But..." Xiaoberry opened her mouth wide in surprise at Fuyumi's wild words, but for some reason, she felt that this person really did it.

"Well, in short, you should think about it first, and don't rush it for a while. I just have to go out for an appointment."

Fuyuya didn't wait for her answer, stood up and picked up the paper umbrella by the door, and stopped the heroic spirit from following up.

"Diarmuid, I'll leave you here to look after the house, I'll go back as soon as I go."

"Yes, Lord Toya." Although he was a little puzzled as to why his lord had to go alone, Diarmuid replied obediently.

……

Facing the bits and pieces of falling snow, Dongmi walked into a small tavern.

Perhaps such shops have similarities, the atmosphere inside the shop is similar to that of Izumi House, and soon a young woman greets them.

"Welcome, is there only one of you?"

"I have an appointment, a brat named Feicun."

Fuyuya's answer almost ruined the perfect business smile on the young woman's face, obviously she knew Himura, the corners of her mouth twitched twice, and finally held back, "Please follow me."

The young woman led him into a certain corner of the tavern, and there were already two people sitting at the table, one was Fei Cun Badao Zhai who had fought once, and the other was a man who looked about 30 years old.

Each table in this kind of tavern is separated by a simple paper partition. Unless you walk to the table, you can't see who is sitting inside.

Although it was easy to hear what was being said at the table next to the paper partition, it was difficult to be noticed when speaking normally in such an environment where everyone was drinking and talking.

"Hey, Mr. Feicun, I haven't seen you for a few months, are you okay? - Hey, on your face... with your sword skills, can someone leave scars?"

It was originally a customary greeting, but Dongya found that there was a conspicuous scar on Feicun's face, and it was obviously injured by a sword, and it seemed that it hadn't healed for a long time.

Fei Cun subconsciously touched the upright scar on his face, "Ah, because the other party has a deep obsession."

"Obsession... But, it's really lucky that you found me." Fuyumi sat down at the table unceremoniously, and filled a glass with the empty wine glass that had obviously been prepared long ago.

The last time we met, Fuyuya didn't give his name, but the other party found him and sent a note signed "Himura Kenshin"-you know, the Shinsengumi called him "Drawing Sword" It can be seen that he does not know his real name, and the one who can report this name must be himself.

Without much hesitation, Dongya decided to come to the appointment, and he came alone - in the past two months, with the popularity of Anping House, Dongya has gradually become known, and Diarmuid is too conspicuous after all, Even ordinary merchants on the side of the road who have never met before can recognize him from the fact that "he has a Western entourage".

Toyomi finally turned his attention to the last 30-year-old man on the table. Finding him is definitely not something ordinary people can do, and Feicun doesn't look like the kind of person who would want to chat with him to reminisce about the old days , besides they have nothing to say.

Then the answer is obvious. It is this man who really wants to find him, and Feicun is just a middleman.

Perhaps because he noticed Fuyumi's gaze, the other party raised his wine cup and smiled at him, "Mr. Ishitani of Anpingya, I have heard of you for a long time. I am Katsura, a feudal vassal of Changzhou. The name of Feicun."

"... Katsura Kogoro?"

"It turns out that Mr. Shigu has heard of me." Gui took it for granted. For him, it is very common for him to be recognized when he hears his name.

Fuyumi scratched his cheek, knowing it was of course, after all, he was also one of the three masters of the Restoration, and his Japanese history grades were still passable, but to him, the meaning of Katsura Kogoro’s name was not yet clear. Feicun and Okita, after all, although it is said that his swordsmanship is also very good, but it is obviously more good in the political sense.

He also finally knew who else could ask Badao Zhai Qian Renzhu to be the middleman. Speaking of which, the last time Fei Village reported himself as his family, he seemed to call himself a feudal vassal of Changzhou.

"Well, just call me by my name."

"Then I'll call you Toyomi-kun. I'm here to thank Toyomi-kun. I didn't confess to the Shinsengumi about Feicun. Feicun is very important to our great cause of restoration." Gui Xiaogoro offered to Dongya Fill the cup with wine, thank you.

The wanted portraits about Badao Zhai Qian Renshou have been plastered in every corner of Kyoto. You can see the power of the wanted portraits from the fact that the real Badao Zhai is still drinking leisurely here. That portrait actually captured a few people, but unfortunately after the review, they were all irrelevant people.

"So that's how it is!" Dongmi suddenly realized, and drank the wine cup without hesitation, then stretched out his hand and used the head-touching kill skill on Fei Cun, "So, Fei Cun-kun, is it because you are embarrassed to thank... Ha Haha you are so cute!"

Fei Cun tried his best to dodge but couldn't escape the hand. The 14-year-old boy with the notoriety of "Badao Zhai" looked at the culprit Gui Xiaogoro unrequitedly, with the message "You are dead!" in his eyes.
