Edo Traveler

v3 Chapter 11: Torajiro's answers are amazing

  Tadaemon asks himself that his memory is really bad, and he didn't know how to understand it before, but he jumped into the big fire pit at the end of the Bakumatsu and looked around.

   I don’t know this, I don’t know that either!

   When I patted my forehead, I remembered a "black ship coming" incident in 1853. Thanks to remembering such a major event, I remembered that Tokugawa Kayuki died of illness and emergency after the black boat arrived.

   Other than that, the birth and death years of most of the characters at the end of the shogunate cannot be remembered at all. Because of his defeat in the Southwest War, Xixiang Longsheng committed suicide with an abdomen cut and remembered his death in 1877. I also remember the fact that Ito Hirobumi was shot and killed by the North Korean righteous Ahn Jung-geun, but it was not so sure whether it was in 1909 or 1910.

  It seems that Ito Hirobumi was born recently...

   And the most important thing is that the Japanese ability to change the name is definitely on the top of the world. If you include the Miao character, name, character, number, generic name, child name, etc., all the elements that make up the name are counted. It is not unusual for a person to go out to meet people without more than a dozen names. It is not uncommon for many people to have thirty or forty name combinations in their lifetime.

   It doesn’t have to be unpleasant. If you change your name endlessly like this, you can’t remember it all by yourself, let alone Chuyoumon who can only read the name of the person from the historical data.

   Like the Fujita Makoshin who had just been sent away, Chuemon felt that he was quite talented, and he came from the Mito clan, so he shouldn't be an unknown person. But we just don't know each other, there is no way, the name in the newspaper is not the most popular one in later generations. For Chuemon, it was tantamount to a white report.

   is the Yoshida Toujiro in front of us. He is really famous and has become one of the few characters who can be remembered by Chuemon.

   I didn't expect that this historically nurtured master of Genrui Kusaka, Shinsaku Takasugi, Takahiro Kido, Shunsuke Ito (Bowen), Kyusuke Yamasuke (youtomo), Kazuo Inoue, and Issei Maehara was actually a half-old child!

   Even if you comb your hair like an adult and put on a samurai costume, it still can't hide the fact that Torajiro Yoshida is a boy. It was a little surprised that Tademon, who thought Torajiro Yoshida was about the same age as him, was a little surprised. You guys are still a baby!

   "At Shimoedogawa Chuemon, I don't know Kisuke?" After holding back a little excited, Chuemon and Torajiro Yoshida saw him.

   "In the Shimohagi Clan, Torajiro Yoshida Jufang!"

   Seeing that Tadaoemon actually rushed to the gate to greet him, Toujiro Yoshida was very fond of him. After all, Chuemon was the head of the shogunate, and he served as the emperor of the Edo thieves. He was the direct minister of Tokugawa Ieki. And Tojiro Yoshida was just a little samurai of the Defense Minister Hagi Clan, and a minister under his command. Although the status of the two is not so different from the world, and it is not as good as the cloud and mud, but it is indeed much worse.

   Maybe someone has watched the big river drama "Sakakami no Clouds", in which the male protagonist's brother, Akiyama, is a good old man. Because he studied in Edo, he lived in a Kimoto family. As a result, the young lady of the Qimoto family fell in love with Qiushan, who was devoted to learning, but the young lady's maid tried to stop her own young lady. Said that the identities of the two are too different, and Qiu Shan Hao Gu is a minister, and he is not worthy to be attached to the daughter of the Three Thousand Stone Banner Family.

  As the flag of the shogunate, Chuemon's identity is theoretically the same as that of the Hagi feudal lord Mori Keikin. He is the retainer of Tokugawa Ikei, and belongs to the higher level in the samurai class contempt chain. Naturally, Toujiro Yoshida could not speak with Chuemon in the same day.

   "Please come in, please come in..." Seeing Torajiro Yoshida hesitated for a while, Chuemon immediately took his hand and greeted the person into the room.

   Can be confused to see Shintaro Terazawa, who has been guarding the gate recently, but he is a thirteen-year-old and half-year-old boy who deserves such a warm invitation. The people who came before had a higher status than Torajiro Yoshida, but Chuemon would stand at the bottom of the steps to greet him. This time it’s really strange.

   "Shintaro, go and fetch the box of fruits sent by Mr. Takashima, and entertain Toujiro." He invited people into the house, and Chuemon commanded again.

  The fruits presented by Akho Takashima are not ordinary fruits, but foreign fruits that are considered high-end desserts in Edo today. If you want to say his fancy name, it is called Nagasaki cake. To be more popular, it is honey cake.

  Don't underestimate such a Nagasaki cake. It uses refined flour, beats eggs, and mixes honey and sugar. Basically, it is not something that the poor can afford. In addition, it needs to be roasted. This process alone can discourage most fruit shops. After eating a lot of Takashima Akho, who had been invited by Chuemon, he was so willing to give it to Chuemon.

   "Edogawa-sama don't have to be such a treat." Tonjiro Yoshida looked at the tea and Nagasaki cake in front of him, said no, but his body swallowed subconsciously.

   is 13 years old after all!

   is pretending to be like a little adult!

   "Eh! Torajiro's visit to lightnovelpub.net~ is an honor to be here, so why not?" Chuemon has practiced a smirk very sincerely recently, and there is absolutely no flaw in it.

   Besides, Chuemon was very curious about Yoshida Toujiro. If it weren't for the fact that I didn't see it before, I might have visited it long ago. People are right in front of you now, and you don't need to smile.

   "That would be disrespectful." Aschuemon lowered his head, Toujiro Yoshida squeezed the Nagasaki cake and took a bite.

  If you are a modern person, eating a piece of Nagasaki cake will not feel amazing at all. But for the samurai Yoshida Toujiro, who has a meager salary and even has to grow vegetables at home for some time, it is really delicious on earth.

   "How?" Tadaemon had eaten this stuff a long time ago, and he wasn't so greedy.

   "It is delicious!"

   "Torajiro came to visit this time, what's the matter?"

"Ahhhhhhh... I heard that Lord Edogawa wrote a letter to the shogun and talked about the pros and cons of the maritime affairs with Hou Hamamatsu. I am longing for it, and I want to ask you for advice." Toujiro Yoshida quickly put down half of the Nagasaki cake. He straightened his body and replied to Chuemon.

   When the time comes, someone who can hold and put, he likes Nagasaki cakes so much, but he can put them as they please, not bad.

   "Do you know what happened when Britain attacked the Qing country?"

   "This matter was already known during the lectures before the Lord and the Emperor."

   "Do you also know the defeat of the Qing Dynasty?" Chuemon said carefully to see how Yoshida Torajiro understood the current situation.

   "This is nature!" Toujiro Yoshida hurriedly responded.

   "Okay, then let me ask you, did the Qing country lose to the Jiabing disadvantage, or is it defeated by..."

   "Lost in the greed of the king and the faint, the whole country is rotten!"
