Edo Traveler

v3 Chapter 3: However, Edo has eyebrows

   "Is there really no one?"

  Sukeruchi is a little unbelievable. Eighteen years ago, the loving old monk carried Chungemon back to Myogan Temple from the outside so precious, so many seniors saw it clearly. It really means the same thing as his own son, how could it be okay.

   "I want to come to Yujiro just for such a news, so I invite the two of me to come." Chuemon put down his chopsticks and looked at Shigetomi. Regardless of the wealth and loyalty to religion, they are only in their twenties. Two people are considered to be the same generation, and there is no obvious respect and inferiority.

   "Hahahahaha, it's worthy of "Wisdom Edogawa"!" Zhongtomi Zhongjiao slapped his palms and laughed.

   "Please speak!" Chuemon made a gesture of listening.

   The Shigefu loyal teacher in front of us, if we only meet him 20 years later, we must be careful. As the backbone center of the Gongwu Union faction, the Shigefu Zhongjiao was already a man at the end of the sect. He has experienced many coups and party struggles, and has long been honed into a talent. As for the present, it is obviously still growing, and it is by no means the big guy in the future.

   "I think Chuemon, you were raised in Edo, and the joints should be in Edo, so..."

   So Shigetomi, after searching the Shimadzu genealogies, found that there was no one in the Miao character Shimadzu and each of the Shimadzu families who fit the image of Chuemon, and he began investigating the other side of the network of loving old monks.

   Dad checked, but mom hasn’t checked yet!

   The feudal era was an era that was not friendly to women. Even the Shimadzu family, whose name is 770,000 shi, is a large family with a clear source and a clear lineage, and it is often impossible to keep a record of the wives of every male generation. Especially in these years, women often have dystocia and then die. As a result, many men’s wives may have two, three, or even four or five wives.

   Excluding the kind of concubine and maids who are generally unlikely to be on the genealogy, first investigate the wife of Shimazu Jiufen and the wife of the brothers of the loving old monk.

   In Japan, it is not very important whether the heir is a real son or not. It’s best to have a son. If you don’t have a son, it’s common to adopt a younger brother or nephew or nephew.

   Even in later generations, there are more than 80,000 adoptions in Japan each year. Seventy-seven thousand of them were adopted by adult males who inherited the family, or were adopted sons or adopted sons in the body. There are only about 3,000 adoptions from children in the orphanage, so don't overblown some things.

   The idea of ​​Zhongfu Zhongjiao is not wrong at all. The loving old monk may also want to pass on Miaoyan Temple to his heirs. If he doesn't have a son, finding a nephew or something is not a good thing.

   Obviously, this is a very good direction. Zhongfu Zhongjiao ordered people to search Shimadzu's genealogy and found that Shimazu Jiufen had a regular wife in this life, and this regular wife was also the mother of a loving old monk.

   The only irritating thing is that the wife did not leave her name. She was a century ago. If it were not a celebrity, there would be very few records. In the end, there was only one thing that was confirmed. His wife Shimazu was a prostitute of the shogunate's official family!

   Two key points, the main body flag, the prostitute!

   There is no need to mention the shogun shogun, but it is a shogun shogun who is more than a thousand stones or more. If the entire Edo is full, it will not exceed 300. Now it is probably in the early 200s. Then remove the dozen or so large-scale banners that were brought in because the Tokugawa family moved from the sideline to the next big system.

  There are only less than two hundred banners left for investigation, all of whom have names and surnames, and even high-powered people. For example, our immediate boss Yuan Shan Yuan, the Omefujibe Ryobi whom we often meet, and Tadayuki Sakihara before, are all heads.

   The other is the prostitute. Unlike wives, the prostitutes of large families will definitely be listed on the family tree. Because the prostitute would use it to marry someone who is also a big family to maintain the relationship. Or even further, being selected as a concubine by the general is a very useful place.

   If the daughter of the one thousand stone flag family married the son of the three thousand stone flag family, this matter will definitely be written in the genealogy, indicating that our family has a big family and so on.

   Although this is a bit utilitarian and a bit disrespectful to women, the prostitutes are indeed a kind of treasure in the feudal era. Many big names are very happy and fond of having a daughter, because it means that they can win another son-in-law.

   Now the clues point to the loving old monk’s mother who was born in Edo and was a daughter of the important minister of the shogunate. Although the scope is not small, this is also a major discovery!

  We Chuyouemon is the child of a certain shogun family in Edo!

   How to think it is possible, just take our little friend Shuroku~lightnovelpub.net~His brother Kinmaru Yoshiki was born before him, so after the birth of Shuroku, he was sent to the monastery soon. The Qiben family can't support too many sons, and they can't even find a good way out for the redundant sons.

   It might as well be sent to the monastery. At least I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. The monk is also a pretty good job with a future and money. If you can live in a temple and turn the temple into a temple for descendants, it would be even better.

   "So Matajiro is investigating in Edo's Banner?" Chuemon nodded.

   "In fact, I don't need to check a lot. There are only dozens of companies that are friendly to Shimadzu." Shigetomi taught me the appearance of being wrapped around me.

   It is strange to say that the marriage between daimyo requires the consent of the shogunate. Even sometimes the shogunate would directly name the marriage of certain daimyos, or prohibit marriages between certain daimyos. But daimyo and Hamoto, Hamoto and daimyo's retainers, this type of marriage does not require the approval of the shogunate.

   Therefore, as the elder of the Kagoshima clan, Shimazu Kyuto can marry the daughter of the Kimoto family with integrity. There was even the case that Kimoto married his daughter to the son of the old Chinese family and was promoted all the way to a high position. This may also belong to some kind of strong alliance, or the exchange of interests.

   "Then I will rely on Jiro again afterwards." Chuemon asked Shigetomi to teach.

   Of course, now that there is such a clue, Chuemon himself is not prepared to sit at home and wait. In the official office of the Edo-machi government office, I have daily dealings with many flags, and there are many opportunities to learn about it. We can also try to investigate it ourselves. It is better to figure it out earlier than to figure it out later.

   "It must be, as soon as there is news, I will immediately send someone to notify you!" Seeing that Tadaoemon was happy, Shigetomi felt that he had done something right.
