I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The Miura house of Miura and his family is a well-known existence in the business circle of Osaka, and it is one of the well-known silk merchants in Osaka.

The silk of Tangtu is undoubtedly a luxury. As long as it is managed properly, getting rich is nothing but an easy thing.

The Miura family has a history of more than 100 years. Miura’s great-grandfather started from scratch. After more than 100 years of development, their Miura family has finally become one of the wealthy merchants, and successfully recruited samurai as their son-in-law 20 years ago. The method obtained the status of a samurai.

Miura Taro is the eldest son of their Miura family.

In order to avoid the outbreak of family turmoil, the Edo shogunate has stipulated since its establishment that whether it is a samurai or a commoner, the family business shall be inherited by the eldest son.

At the same time, the family cannot be divided, and the family business cannot be divided into several pieces for each son to inherit. The rest of the heirs can only find another way out.

As the eldest son of the family, Miura Taro, if there is no accident, the huge family business of their family will be in his pocket.

In order to allow his son to take charge of this huge family business smoothly in the future, Miura's father had asked Miura to help take care of some of the family business a few years ago.

I have to say - Miura still has a little business sense.

After helping to take care of the family business, he successfully made a lot of achievements.

Half a month ago, Miura succeeded in negotiating a business deal with a daimyo in the West Country on his own. This business directly brought 1,000 taels of income to their Miura family.

1,000 taels—this is not a small sum for Miuraya.

Made a great contribution - this naturally made Miura want to look up to the sky and laugh for half an hour.

In order to celebrate his new achievements for the family, Miura hosted a banquet tonight for all his friends.

All his friends attended the banquet—except Bei Yuan from Quanbingguan.

Unlike Miura and the others who "appear to be samurai, but are actually businessmen", Kitahara is an out-and-out samurai, and he is also a star figure in the famous swordsmanship in Osaka, such as Quanbingkan.

The two are not in the same circle, but they met unexpectedly a few years ago. The two have similar temperaments and quickly became friends.

Kitahara is now extremely obsessed with that Isshiki. When Miura invited him to the banquet yesterday, even though the Xutianya where the banquet was held was a very serious tea house,

However, in order to maintain his image of "never going to Shinmachi", he flatly rejected Miura's invitation.

Since Kitahara didn't come, Miura didn't force him either.

Almost all of my friends will come to the banquet tonight. In order not to let the banquet celebrating his great achievements for the family look too inferior, and to show off in front of his friends, Miura paid a lot of money to make an appointment a few days ago. The performance of today's star character Chu Guang.

Chuguang is no stranger to Miura.

Two months ago, Miura met for the first time at a friend's banquet with Hatsumitsu who was there to perform at the banquet.

Miura likes girls who are "drum up and up". The slightly thin figure of Chuguang is not the type that Miura likes, but Miura likes Chuguang's piano sound very much.

Music is one of Miura's few hobbies. After hearing the sound of Hatsumitsu's piano for the first time, he immediately fell in love with Hatsumitsu's talent.

A small part of the reason why Miura invited Miura was to listen to Hatsumitsu's beautiful piano sound again.

At this moment, seeing that the long-awaited first light finally came, Miura immediately beamed with joy.

Then after the happy smile opened, the expression on his face froze.

Because he saw two acquaintances behind Chuguang.

Miura recognized it at a glance - aren't these two people the woman he fell in love with yesterday, and the husband of that woman?

Chuguang has 1 assistant and 2 guards - Miura is well aware of this kind of thing, after all, "assistant + guard" is like a business card to Chuguang.

In an instant, countless questions flashed through Miura's mind.

Why are these two people here? Aren't these two people selling tooth powder on the street? Why did they suddenly change into Miss Chuguang's assistant and guard? When I met Miss Chuguang for the first time 2 months ago, Miss Chuguang's guard and assistant were obviously not these two people...

Although there were many questions, Miura quickly gave explanations to each of these questions:

Chuguang's original assistants and guards had probably resigned, so the couple applied to fill in the vacancies of assistants and guards. When they were free, they would go to the street to sell tooth powder to subsidize their family.

There were no loopholes or irrationality in the reason he made up in his own brain, which made Miura smile involuntarily because of his self-satisfaction.

"I'm sorry." Just as Miura's expression returned to normal from a daze, Chuguang folded his hands in front of him, then bowed to Miura and the others, and said softly, "I kept you waiting for a long time."

"Ahahaha." Miura looked away from Ogata and Atachi, and waved at Hatsumitsu, "Miss Hatsumitsu, you came in time! You didn't keep us waiting! Come in! Come in Bar!"

...

...

After seeing Miura, Ogata was surprised.

Surprised that Osaka is so small...

The guy who struck up a conversation with Ah Ding yesterday actually appeared in front of him again today—the probability is so low that Ogata actually met him.

But the surprise was the surprise, and Ogata quickly put away the surprise in his heart.

All he wanted to do tonight was to quietly complete the task assigned to him by Satoshidaemon.

So he just hoped that Miura would not do anything to disappoint his expectations.

After following Chuguang into the room, Chuguang knelt down in a corner of the room, with a smile reminiscent of the wind in spring, and said something like "Thank you for inviting me to the banquet" to everyone at the banquet. The opening remarks and polite words of the class.

After talking about these messy things, Chuguang's performance officially began.

A-machi, who was kneeling neatly behind Hatsumitsu, said in a loud voice that he was going to start the performance, and handed her the shamisen that he had been holding in his arms very conspicuously.

Also holding shamisen, some people act like gorillas playing with toys, while others look like fairies in the sky.

Chuguang belongs to the latter.

After picking up the shamisen handed by A-Machi in an extremely elegant posture, Hatsumitsu pressed the strings with his left hand, held the pick with his right hand, and began to pluck the strings slowly.

The sound of Chuguang's piano is like crystal round beads swimming around and bumping into each other.

It is also like clear streams, gusts of warm wind, and fallen leaves dancing with the wind...

Ogata didn't understand music, but he could hear it instinctively—Hatsumitsu's playing skills were very high.

Even Ogata, who knows nothing about music and lacks interest, can't help being fascinated by Hatsumitsu's piano sound at this time.

The originally noisy banquet had already quieted down, and everyone was listening attentively to Chuguang's performance.

The first piece of music played by Chuguang was not long, so it took only a blink of an eye to finish one piece.

"Okay!" Miura took the lead in applauding vigorously, "As expected of Miss Chuguang! This skill is really amazing!"

After Miura applauded first, the rest of the banquet followed suit, applauding and applauding together.

Ogata, who was sitting behind Chuguang with Shibata, almost clapped subconsciously, but just as he raised his hands, he suddenly remembered that his current identity is Chuguang's guard, so he hurriedly put back the hands he had just raised onto the legs.

"Oh! It's all thanks to Miura-kun that I can feast my ears today!" At this time, a big fat man who was near Miura clapped his hands and laughed, "Miura-kun is indeed a role model for us! Chuguang Miss is not someone who can be invited to perform casually, but Miura-kun can invite Miss Chuguang with ease!"

"Yes, yes!" A certain person followed closely, flattering Miura together, "And you can also set up a banquet in a place like Xutian House! It's really amazing!"

Hearing these flattery from his friends, Miura felt extremely refreshed.

Actually——the fat man's flattery just now was slightly exaggerated.

Although Miuraya is a well-known existence in the business circle of Osaka, it is only a little famous.

The business circle in Osaka is the real land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Compared with the real bosses in Osaka, their Miura House is still far behind.

No matter how capable Miura was, it was impossible for him to invite Chuguang casually. It took him a lot of effort and even asked his father to help him, so he succeeded in inviting Chuguang to the banquet.

But now Miura, who is feeling very happy in his heart, will not point out the exaggeration of the fat man just now.

Not only did he not point it out, he even smiled pretendingly: "It's all just trivial things not worth mentioning."

"Miura-kun." At this time, someone suddenly asked Miura, "Speaking of this Xutianya... I heard that your Miuraya has recently cooperated with that Mr. Yukimura. Is this true?"

"Oh, about this matter." Miura took a sip of his wine, "It's not considered cooperation, it's just a mutual benefit with Master Yukimura."

"You also know——since last year, we at Miura House have been trying to engage in the wine business."

"After a year of development, although the wine business is booming, but taking into account the two major businesses of silk and wine, I can't keep up with energy."

"So after a serious discussion with my father, I decided to reduce the size of our silk industry a little bit."

"After hearing that Mr. Yukimura happened to have plans to get involved in the silk business recently, we took the initiative to contact Mr. Yukimura, and expressed our willingness to sell our shops in Nara to Mr. Yukimura and provide corresponding purchase channels. "

"Master Yukimura is also a straightforward person, so he agreed immediately."

At this moment, Miura showed a smug smile while holding up 3 fingers.

"Give us 3,000 big judgment money directly, and give us an izakaya with a good location under his command."

As soon as Miura's words came out, everyone at the banquet gasped.

"Miura-kun! It's really you!" Someone shouted excitedly.

"That's great..." Someone sighed softly, "I also want to become friends with a big man like Mr. Yukimura..."

Seeing the reaction of the friends in front of him, the complacent look on Miura's face became more intense.

Yukimura - a real boss in their Osaka business circle, but also a legendary strange man.

Yukimura's real name is Sakata Yogoro, and Yukimura is just a common name for him. He came from the bottom, and he was originally an ordinary hooligan in Osaka.

Later, with hard work and opportunities, in just a few decades, he changed from an ordinary hooligan to one of the few giants in Osaka.

His prowess is not limited to his business background, he has a deep relationship with many powerful yakuzas in Osaka. According to rumors, as long as the gun is in hand, no ordinary person can get close to him.

It is precisely because of his excellent spear skills that people used the name of Sanada Yukimura, a famous general who used a spear as a weapon two hundred years ago, as a generic name for him.

In short - this is an extremely awesome person, so awesome that just enjoying a little business mutual benefit with him is worth bragging in front of friends.

While Miura was silently enjoying the pursuit of his friends, he secretly squinted at Ogata who was not far away.

Miura hated Ogata quite a lot.

Because he took away the precious good cabbage.

Miura is indifferent to married women, so the current A-cho has no attraction for him at all.

Since reading "Three Kingdoms" when he was a child, the most incomprehensible character in Miura is Cao Cao-what is the attraction of a married woman?

Seeing Ogata, Miura felt a pain in his heart.

Such a good woman was ruined by a guy who couldn't even see her face clearly.

Such a good woman should belong to a powerful man like them. This kind of guy who needs to sell tooth powder on the street and act as a bodyguard for others to make a living should be with that kind of low-quality woman.

When he was bragging about their cooperation between Miuraya and Yukimura just now, he specially used a very loud volume, and emphasized in a very heavy tone the 3,000 taels and the izakaya he got from Yukimura.

The purpose is to show off in front of this annoying man, to satisfy one's sense of superiority, and to achieve a feeling of "revenge in disguise".

So at this moment, he desperately wanted to see emotions such as envy, jealousy, and inferiority on Ogata's face.

However—after turning his gaze to Ogata, Miura was disappointed.

Because Ogata was wearing a bamboo hat and a face scarf, he couldn't see his face at all...

——Why does this guy always wear a hat and face scarf...

Ever since he saw this guy follow Chuguang into the room, and never took off his bamboo hat and face scarf, Miura has been wanting to ask him why he has been wearing these two things all the time...

But since I couldn't find the time to ask the question, I could only hold the question.

Since he couldn't see Ogata's current expression, Miura turned his attention to A-Machi, wanting to see if A-Machi showed any expression that made him very happy after hearing his bragging just now.

The expression Miura most wanted to see on Machi's face was naturally yearning and envy.

After all, 3,000 taels of gold is a huge amount of money that normal people cannot save in 10 lifetimes. Miura thought to herself that this woman who was forced to live a hard life with Ogata, let alone 3000 taels, might not even have seen 30 taels.

However, Miura was once again disappointed...

Ah-Ming is now—with no expression on his face.

At this time, A-Ming was sitting neatly behind Chuguang's side, without any other expression on his face.

After being bored, Miura curled his lips, looked away, and then comforted himself to find a reason why Machi had no expression on his face:

——This woman... Could it be that she was in a daze just now, and didn't hear what I just said...

After finding a very reasonable reason for himself, the smile on Miura's face became better again.
