"Huh?"

——Blind date?

Being inexplicably called out and brought to the topic of "blind date", Aotobu widened his eyes like Kondo and stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand.

"Yong, you are already 26 years old this year." Zhousuke cleared his throat again and said to Kondo sincerely, "When other people are your age, you don't know how many children they have."

"And you are still single."

"My mother and I..." Zhouzhu laughed a few times, "We both want to have a grandchild."

"You see, your mother and I are both gray-haired and in our sixties."

Zhou Zhu raised his finger and pointed at his pale hair.

"At our age, we might die anytime... ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zhu screamed - A Bi, who was sitting next to him, stretched out his hand, pinched a small piece of flesh on Zhou Zhu's lower back with the tips of his thumb and index finger on his right hand, and then twisted it hard.

"Stop saying such unlucky words." Abi said coldly.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking." Zhou Zhu smiled awkwardly at A Bi, and then in order to cover up his embarrassment, he cleared his throat a few times, "In short - A Bi and I have decided to give it to you.

Find a good match."

"In the past few days, your mother and I have been to the homes of reliable matchmakers to inquire about any quality girls."

"Huh?" Kondo raised his eyebrows vigorously, and then asked quickly, "Father! It turns out that you and your mother have been going out frequently these days to find a matchmaker!"

Zhousuke nodded, responded to Kondo with his actions, and said with a smile:

"We were very lucky. After only a few days of searching, we found a very good girl."

"Matsui Tsune, the daughter of Matsui Yachigoro, a trainee of the Shimizu family, one of the three Tokugawa emperors."

"The Matsui family is located in the northern suburbs of Edo."

"Just today, your mother and I visited Matsui's house and met Matsui. She is indeed a very nice girl."

"Good education, good temperament, and a pretty good family background."

"And she's a beauty! Her skin is as white and tender as... just like... just like a steamed bun!"

"Then the eyes were bright, like... like the oil splattered when frying pancakes!"

"Both cheeks are as healthy and rosy as peaches in season."

Zhousuke racked his brains and tried hard to describe Matsui Chang's appearance.

However, due to their limited cultural level, Aomori and others did not perceive the beauty of Matsui Tsune from Shusuke's words.

They just felt hungrier.

Zhousuke also realized that he did not have the cultural level to describe the beauty of Matsui Tsune, so he waved his hands in embarrassment.

"In short, she is a girl with quite good conditions!"

"Abi and I both think this girl is very suitable."

"Father, mother, you have already seen that girl..." Kondo's eyes had been in a state of "widening in shock" from just now.

"Of course you have to go and see it with your own eyes."

"After all, the matchmaker's hundreds of good words about the girl are nothing compared to seeing her in person."

After saying that, Zhou Zhu made a serious face:

"Finding a daughter-in-law is a very serious matter. Whether we can find a high-quality daughter-in-law for our Kondo family is directly related to the future prosperity of our Kondo family."

"How many families have been torn apart because of a wicked wife?"

"On the other hand, if we can find a good wife, the whole family might be able to prosper."

"Look at the clan ancestor of Tosa Domain: Yamauchi Kazutoyo was mediocre in ability and had no abilities. In the end, he was granted the title of Tosa Domain with the help of his virtuous wife Chiyo, and became a big name with a land of 240,000 koku."

Yamauchi Kazutoyo and Chiyo - This is a very famous allusion in the Edo period, often used to refer to "finding a good wife" and "learning to assess the situation".

Yamauchi Kazuo was born in the Warring States Period 300 years ago. He was a low-level samurai. He had no background or resources, so he was a grassroots man.

As a result, he was very lucky to marry a good wife: Chiyo.

Chiyo is a smart and well-rounded girl who has helped Yamauchi Kazutoyo to choose the correct answer in important life decisions many times.

Yamauchi Kazutyo first worked for Oda Nobunaga. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi first started to make his fortune, Chiyo saw that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a strong "potential stock" and successfully persuaded him to work under Oda Nobunaga.

Yamauchi Kazutoyo, who had achieved some fame, switched to work for Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Chiba did not misjudge the person. Toyotomi Hideyoshi really became a "people of the world" and unified Japan. Yamauchi Kazutoyo who listened to Chiba's advice and went to serve under the Toyotomi family early was awarded the title of 50,000 people.

The Lord of Kakegawa Castle in the stone fiefdom.

After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Chiyo once again keenly saw through the general trend of the world and determined that Tokugawa Ieyasu would one day defeat the Toyotomi clan.

So he successfully persuaded Yamauchi Kazutoyo to quickly defect to Tokugawa Ieyasu on the eve of the Sekigahara War, the "Millennium War" that decided whether the world would be named Toyotomi or Tokugawa, and finally assisted Tokugawa Ieyasu in defeating Sekigahara.

war.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Edo shogunate, in memory of Yamauchi Kazutyo's "flexible job-hopping", Yamauchi Ieyasu was transferred to Tosa Domain daimyo by Tokugawa Ieyasu with a territory of 240,000 koku. The Tosa Domain's national title continues to this day.

.

Just like this, Yamauchi Kazutoyo, relying on the help of his "virtuous wife and helper Chiyo", turned into a phoenix and jumped from a low-level samurai to a famous man worth 240,000 koku.

Because Yamauchi Kazutyo's life of relying on his wife to achieve a counterattack in life is so legendary and enviable, so after the Edo period, "Yamauchi Kazutyo and Chiyo" became a very famous allusion and was often used by people.

I want to teach my children how to find a good wife and find a wife like Chiyo.

"Yong." Abi, who had been silent just now, said calmly, "You should get up earlier tomorrow."

"You have to go to Matsui's house with us the day after tomorrow."

"The Matsui family is also very satisfied with your conditions."

"They are also willing to facilitate the marriage between our two families. They took the initiative to invite us to eat out together tomorrow."

"Tomorrow's banquet, Matsui Chang will also attend."

"So you have to take good care of yourself tomorrow and shave off all the stubble on your face. You have to leave a good impression on others."

Overly impactful news, one after another - Kondo is obviously a little out of his mind.

He grabbed the fabric on his knees with both hands, pursed his lips, and after hesitating for a long time with his face flushed, he said in a deep voice:

"Father, mother... I don't want to get married so soon..."

"The recent operating conditions of the Trial Guard Hall have rarely improved significantly."

"I now want to focus all my energy on running the trial gym."

"Having a wife... I'm afraid this will distract me."

"Hey." Zhou Zhu chuckled and said, "'Starting a family' and 'Establishing a career' are two things that complement each other."

"If you marry a good wife who can help you deal with the trivial matters in life, won't you be able to focus more on your career?"

Zhouzhu has a good temper and is willing to reason with Kondo - Abi doesn't have such a good temper.

Her eyebrows stood up, she snorted coldly, and then shouted to Kondo:

"Are you going to wait until your hair turns white before you marry?"

"You are already 26 years old! If you wait a few more years, no good girl will want to marry you!"

After being scolded by Abi, Kondo skillfully lowered his head and shrank his neck.

Abi's angry shout made the air in the entire hall become tense.

Aoto, Okita, Saito, and Kubei were all so frightened by the suffocating aura emitted by Abi that they dared not move...

In order to ease the atmosphere in the hall, Zhou Zhu blinked his eyes hard several times, and then quickly cast his gaze on Qingdeng.

"Ah, that's right. I almost forgot about Mr. Tachibana."

"Ji Jun, these days, when A Bi and I were looking for matchmakers to talk to Yong, many matchmakers who knew that the now famous Ju Qingden was training in our trial defense hall told me: There are many families with quite good conditions.

, I want to create a good relationship with you."

"I specifically asked about the families who want to accept you as their son-in-law. The conditions are indeed quite good. They are all famous samurai families in Edo."

"How about it? Do you have any intention of going on a blind date now?"

"You are 18 years old this year, which happens to be past the age where you can get married."

"If you want to go on a blind date, I can help you contact a reliable matchmaker tomorrow."

"Ah?" Qingdeng was stunned.

Everyone in the hall focused their attention on Qingdeng.

"Blind date... Young Master, I think you can really try to go on a blind date now!" Kubei, who was sitting on the right side of Aoto, said quickly with a somewhat excited tone, "The Tachibana family needs incense.

Heritage, when I was your age, you were already born!"

Feeling the crowd's curious gazes on him, Qingden twitched the corner of his mouth, and then showed a helpless smile:
