If conditions allowed, he would indeed have the intention to chat more with the heroic man in front of him.

"Haha!" After hearing what Aomori said, Chiba Jutaro raised his eyebrows, raised his hand, and patted Aomori's right shoulder with moderate force, "Okay! It's agreed then.

, when we have time and opportunity one day, we will find a place and have a good chat!"

After finishing speaking, Chiba Jutaro suddenly turned his gaze and looked at his sister.

Sanako was now standing in front of him, folding her hands in front of her body, and respectfully said to Shusuke, Kondo, and Okita, "Thank you for your hospitality tonight."

My sister is...a little far away from me.

Kondo and others were not with them either.

He is now... and Aotobu are in a state that is close to being "alone" - Chiba Jutaro, who noticed this, narrowed his eyes, and then quickly stood half a step forward to get himself closer to Aotobu

Some.

"...Tachibana-kun." Chiba Jutaro asked Qingtou quickly in a low tone that only he and Aingto could hear, "Are you married or engaged?"

Qingteng was startled: "Junetaro-kun, why do you suddenly ask me this?"

"Haha, it's nothing." Jutaro-kun said haha, "It's just a temporary curiosity."

After listening to Jutaro's explanation, although there was still some confusion in Ayoto's heart, he quickly answered the question that Jutaro had just asked:

"I haven't gotten married yet, and I'm not engaged yet." After saying that, Qingden paused, and then added in a joking tone, "I'm still in a fairly free state."

In ancient Japan, "free love" was quite rare.

Whether they are warriors or civilians, men and women basically rely on matchmakers to get married.

When their children reach the age where they should get married, they will ask a reliable matchmaker to help find a suitable family. If the conditions of the family they find are suitable and the other party is interested in the marriage, they will

Make an engagement and prepare to hold the wedding when there is a good day in the future.

Therefore, getting engaged at a young age is quite common in this era.

Hiring a matchmaker is usually a matter for the man. Before Qingteng's father, Tachibana Takayuki, died of illness, Tachibana Takayuki also found many matchmakers and asked them to help find a suitable and high-quality marriage for Qingteng.

The matchmakers entrusted by Tachibana Takayuki were indeed very effective. They introduced Tachibana Takayuki to a large number of girls from good families who were of the same family as Tachibana Takayuki and had good looks and talents.

However, Tachibana Takayoshi was not satisfied with the girls recommended by the matchmaker. Until he died of illness, he still could not find a daughter-in-law who suited his liking.

After Tachibana Takayuki's death, the matter of "finding a wife for Aoden" was dropped.

After learning that Aoto had not yet married and had no engagement behind him, Chiba Jutaro showed a look of astonishment:

"Ji Jun, have you not gotten married or engaged yet? I thought that at your age, you must have been adopted as a son-in-law by some lucky family..."

Aonto didn't notice: There was a bit of hidden excitement hidden in Chiba Jutaro's "surprise"...

"Brother."

At this time, Sanako, who had finished saying goodbye to Shusuke and others, walked towards Chiba Jutaro with a very elegant step.

Seeing his sister coming, Chiba Jutaro quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking to Qingto.

"Brother, let's go home."

"Oh." Chiba Jutaro nodded vigorously a few times, "Well, okay, let's go. Then - Mr. Shusuke, Yong-kun, Souji-kun, Tachibana-kun, Sanako and I will take our leave now. See you later.

Bar!"

Chiba Jutaro, who bid farewell to everyone loudly, turned his eyes and glanced across the faces of Ayoto and others one by one.

His eyes... specifically stayed on Qingdeng's face for a moment longer.

"Yes." As the head of the family, Zhouzhu smiled and waved to the brother and sister, "Walk slowly along the way!"

After saying goodbye, Chiba Jutaro and Sanako strode out of the trial defense hall one after the other.

Sanako turned her head and glanced at the trial defense hall behind her that was getting smaller and smaller within her field of vision.

It wasn't until she turned a corner and entered a street where the training hall could no longer be seen that Sanazi withdrew her gaze. Then, with an expressionless face and a calm tone that showed no sadness or joy, she looked towards the person who was half a length ahead of her.

Chiba Jutaro, who was in charge, asked:

"Brother, I just saw you chatting enthusiastically with Mr. Ju. What were you talking about?"

"Ah? There's nothing to talk about." Chiba Jutaro, who looked as usual, replied without thinking, "I just asked him how he was living in the imperial examination hall."

"...Is this really all we talked about?" Sanako stared straight at Chiba Jutaro with an aura that seemed to want to see through Chiba Jutaro's heart.

"What are you doing?" Chiba Jutaro, who was made uncomfortable by Sanako's gaze, crossed his arms on his chest and curled his lips, "Why are you staring at me like this...don't you believe what I say?"

"...Of course I believe you, brother." Sanako slowly stopped looking at Chiba Jutaro, "Since you said so, brother...then I will tentatively believe that, brother, you did not talk to Tachibana-kun.

Maybe it’s some messy thing.”

…

…

The back figures of the two brothers and sisters gradually melted into the night at the street entrance under the watch of Qingdeng and others standing outside the door.

After Jutaro and Sanako completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and everyone returned to the house, Abi's voice suddenly came from the other end of the corridor facing the door:

"Have Chiba Jutaro and Chiba Sanako left already?" Abi asked as he walked quickly towards the people still staying at the entrance.

For some reason, when Chiba Jutaro and Sanako came to the imperial examination hall and discussed business with Qingto and others in the hall, Abi never showed up.

"Yeah." Zhou Zhu nodded, "They just left."

"What did the brother and sister do when they suddenly came to our training hall so late at night?" A Bi asked with a frown on his face.

"Uh... well..." Looking at A Bi, Zhou Zhu seemed to have recalled something, and laughed a few times awkwardly, "Well... to put it simply, you are here to tell us some good news.

.”

After Zhou Assistant laughed, he raised his hand and made a "please" gesture toward the hall.

"Madam, let's go to the living room first. The entrance is not the place to talk. I will tell you slowly after we go to the living room."

…

About 5 minutes later——

"What?! Yushima Tenmangu actually agreed to let our Imperial Guard Hall and Little Chiba Sword Hall hold a 'Red and White Battle' at the site of the 'Plum Blossom Festival'?!"

Abi let out a roar that felt like it was about to crack the ceiling above their heads.

Shusuke, who was sitting in front of Abi...and Aoto, Kondo, and Okita, who were sitting side by side in the corner of the living room, all involuntarily leaned back and stayed as far away from Abi as possible to resolve the words that Abi was sending out.

Through "sonic attack".

"What are you doing..." Abi raised his hand with an ugly expression and held his forehead, "Did this happen..."

"Madam..." Zhousuke smiled bitterly, "Are you still opposed to us holding the 'Red and White Battle' at the 'Plum Blossom Festival' together with the Little Chiba Sword Hall..."

"Of course!" A Bi gritted his teeth, "Zhou Zhu, you really wonder if you are an old fool."

"For a long time, our trial defense hall has basically never defeated that little Chiba sword hall in all the 'red and white battles'! Isn't it?"

"Working with them on the 'Red and White Battle' at the 'Plum Blossom Festival'? Doesn't this mean that countless people will watch helplessly as our Trial Guard Hall is beaten to a pulp by someone else's Little Chiba Sword Hall?!"
