[Reaper] Marriage before love

The candidate for the heir of the patriarchal authority is also Bigger, don't the others envy and envy?Now that she is married and Bai Zai is still young, common sense infers that having an heir is a matter of time, so Motoshi Saijo is in a bit of an embarrassing situation.

If he simply passed away as soon as he got sick, there would probably not be so many gossips, and the bad thing would be that he was still hanging on his breath.When he visited the shrine on Yuan Ri, he was Biege and a subordinate, so naturally he couldn't take Joe in front of the lord, but in order not to convey wrong information, Bai Zai would not visit him like he visited Sagami Xiaojing.If Saijo Motoshi does not show up, it would be like expressing his dissatisfaction with the patriarch's big wedding in a disguised form—after all, this is the first time Mingjia presides over Kuchiki's Yuanri etiquette. Come.

"This is the first day that Madam became the master of the Kuchiki Clan. How can the Saijo family be one of the three ministers of the imperial court? How could they not come?" Qingshui Liangfang said pointedly, "After all, in the past, there was no one in the inner house of the clan. A decent person is in charge." When speaking, his eyes glanced unceremoniously at Rukia who was sitting quietly and tried to weaken the sense of existence, and the implication was self-evident.

Qingshui Liangfang was the most senior among all the people present, and he had a noble family background, but even though he pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, Bai Zai couldn't say anything about him.Rukia shrank involuntarily when she was told, her already stiff body became more restrained, her face drooped deeply, her hands hidden in the wide sleeves were clenched vigorously, and the sleeves were wrinkled.

Ming Jia glanced at Mrs. Takiyama, who was kneeling beside her, and when the other party saw her gaze, she lowered her eyes at the same time, avoiding Ming Jia's sight.

Youxiaolu had been looking at Mingjia all the time. Seeing Mrs. Takiyama turning a blind eye to Mingjia, there was a bit of indignation on his face. Because the guest didn't dare to make a fuss, he endured several times and finally didn't speak. A little outraged.But Mingjia didn't come to seek her approval, so he couldn't help but support his forehead in his heart.

Although this nanny is a bit more disciplined, she still lacks a little brain, so she won't be useful at critical moments!

Matsushima also saw Mingjia's gaze constantly drifting this way, and after a little thought, he knew Mingjia's hint.Although it would be a bit excessive to do these things by yourself, Mrs. Takiyama was obviously obedient and contradictory, and You Xiaolu didn't know the point, so he could only do it by himself.Then quietly retreated from his seat, opened the paper door and told Zhongju outside the door loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please Tusu wine." A plate of Tusu wine was filled in front of me.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Zai picked up the white jade wine cup in front of him, and slightly raised it to the guests symbolically: "May you all have a smooth new year and long blessings." He also half covered the wine cup and the lower half of his face with his wide sleeves, and drank a glass.

Just like that, the turmoil caused by Qingshuiliangfang was quietly covered up.

After drinking the Tusu wine, and perfunctorily saying some insincere auspicious words, Bai Zai got up and led the way to the Imperial Buddha Room.Here are the Buddhist altars and memorial tablets of the Suzerains of the Kuchiki Clan. On the Buddhist altar, there are Zhulian decorations. On the dining table, there are various offerings. They are brought by Bai Zai and Ming Jia. Everyone paid homage to the ancestors according to the rules. It's over.

During the visit, Mingjia diverted his eyes a little and secretly glanced at Bai Zai's side face, only seeing his clear and stern lines and his usual expressionless face.

The previous Patriarch Yin Ling was still alive, and Cang Chun was only a son when he passed away. The Buddhist altar did not need to be placed in the imperial Buddha room, let alone the wives of the previous Patriarchs—the tablets of these people will only be placed in the shrine when the family sacrifices in late spring. debut.At this moment, they are all worshiping people whom Bai Zai has never met before, presumably he is somewhat touched by the scene, thinking of his parents who died young, right?

At the same time, Mingjia was secretly glad that there were only Buddhist altars of the previous patriarchs in the Royal Buddha Room.If it was a scene during a family sacrifice, she would have to face the embarrassment of paying homage to Fei Zhen's memorial tablet - the relationship between her and Bai Zai is not reliable, and she has always avoided mentioning the topic of Fei Zhen since they got married for half a year, and tried to grasp the topic of Fei Zhen as much as possible. Taking every opportunity to play down the fact that he replaced Fei Zhen, he hoped that one day when he had to mention himself and that lady at the same time, Bai Zai would not cause any emotional backlash.

The time given to her is not enough, and Kuchiki Byakuya's acceptance of her is not high enough to not mind any form of comparison and conflict between her and Feizhen—even if these are not caused by her.

After sitting back in the throne room, Saijo Motomi was obviously out of breath, and Rukia seemed to be working hard under the weight of the heavy and cumbersome dress. When she sat down, she accidentally stepped on the hem of the Tang dress, and her body staggered.

If you fall here, at the beginning of the new year, you will lose face to the whole clan, and at that time, you will say all kinds of ugly things.Although she has listened to those gossips since she was adopted for decades, she lost her composure under the watchful eyes of everyone, thinking of Byakuya's possible reaction, Rukia's hairs stood on end for a while.

She subconsciously raised her hand to grab something to stabilize her body, completely forgetting that there was nothing beside the seat.

However, the outstretched fingers touched a solid handrail-like object in the empty air. She hurriedly stabilized her body, and was shocked to find that the place where her palm touched was still empty.

☆、Episode28

How is this going?Rukia stared at her hand in shock for two seconds, and couldn't help touching the same place again, but she no longer felt the touch.

"Lukia, it's time to use Ruo Shui." Jia Wenya's voice interrupted Rukia's puzzlement and surprise, and she realized that everyone had already sat down, and she was the only one standing. with.

Her brother's gaze drifted over casually, making her scalp numb, and she could no longer think about more things.

The maid poured Ruo Shui, which symbolizes good luck and success throughout the year, into a silver basin and distributed it to everyone. Bai Zai and Ming Jia faced the auspicious position, slightly touching their lips, and the others followed suit.With the lessons learned from the past, Rukia no longer dared to be distracted, and raised her 12 points of energy. Mingjia glanced at her from the corner of her eye, and finally let go of her heart.

Seeing that Saijo Motomi was not in good condition just now, she was a little worried that Rukia was not used to wearing dresses, so she deliberately paid more attention when she moved, but she saw that the other party accidentally stepped on the hem of the clothes, and her footing was unstable.

In front of everyone, for the sake of face, she couldn't reach out to help, let alone let Rukia fall like that.Nail the NO.12 "Back Link" next to the seat, and cover the surface with the No. 26 "Curved Light" to hide its shape and existence, and lent some strength to the panicked Rukia, so that there was no trouble. joke.

Zhongju brought rice cakes, boiled fish, snacks and other food, and everyone just held up their chopsticks and tasted it for a while, that's all.These procedures are repeated every year, whether it is Bai Zai who presides over the ceremony or the Qing family who visits, they are very tired.As soon as the table was removed, Mingjia was accompanied by Matsushima to change clothes. The visit of the Yusanjia and the Yusanqings came to an end, and the following was the audience of the old Naka's retainers.

The family elders, ministers, and servants wished the New Year in turn. Mingjia also changed into five sets of dresses according to the rules, and finally ended the ceremony on the first day. After a whole day of back pain, it was comparable to the fatigue of the wedding day.

After removing the heavy makeup on his face and soaking in hot soup to relieve his fatigue, Ming Jia felt a lot more relaxed.After changing into soft and clean pajamas and returning to the bedroom, Mrs. Takiyama was waiting outside.

"Say hello to Madam." On the surface, Madam Takiyama's attitude was respectful, but she still came here without being summoned.She hasn't changed her clothes yet, and she is still wearing the same jacket embroidered with the Nantian pattern, which seems rather tiresome to Ming Jia.

Thinking of the daytime, facing Qingshuiliangfang's accusations and accusations, and Mrs. Longshan's obedience and injustice, Mingjia was unhappy, and her tone was also light: "What's the matter?"

"At the beginning of the new year, the villain has specially prepared a new bedding, please have a look at it, Madam." After speaking, she moved away from the seat next to the screen.

The pillow was replaced with a long pillow for two people to sleep on, painted with lush pomegranates, and the bedding was replaced with pure white silk dyed with large crimson southern sky, with dark patterns embroidered with dark golden silk thread, and a Yoshino paper box next to the pillow It was also replaced with black lacquer and gold, outlining the dense grapes.

Even the screen has been replaced with a pattern of melons and vines paired with pairs of butterflies.

Of course, Mingjia understood what Mrs. Longshan meant, but let alone whether she was in control of this kind of thing, just saying that a female official dared to express hints to the head mistress again and again was the other party's overstepping.

"Why don't I remember that after the first day, even the time for handling internal affairs has been changed?" Mingjia didn't hide her displeasure, and her face sank, "It's not a big deal to change the bedding, but it's not. I can say it alone, you have served in the Kuchiki Clan for many years, have you even forgotten your job?"

"Master Patriarch, you are the ones who serve you well. Mrs. Longshan has been in charge for many years. Do you want me to teach you this truth?"

Mrs. Takiyama was momentarily at a loss for words.

Kuchiki Byakuya is not a very picky person when it comes to the details of life. He has never cared much about trivial matters such as what color tableware to use for eating, and what pattern of bedding to sleep in, unless it is related to the quality of life and the face of the family. , otherwise generally will not bother.Over time, Mrs. Takiyama has gotten used to not asking for Bai Zai's opinions on these details.

But habits belong to habits. From a rational point of view, any work she does exists to serve the owner.Changing the Patriarch's bedding, but not reporting it until before going to bed, Mrs. Takiyama naturally wanted to embarrass Ming Jia as his wife, and when Ming Jia asked her back, she immediately ignored the Patriarch's authority.

This is an extremely severe indictment for any subject.

"Why are they all blocking the door?" As soon as Bai Zai returned to his room, he saw a group of people standing by the screen. Mingjia was wearing pajamas, and her long hair was pulled up casually. It looked like she was about to go to bed after taking a bath. Mrs. Takiyama But kneeling aside, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

He glanced at the bedding made in the room from the corner of his eyes. Even if he didn't care much about these details, it didn't mean he didn't know. Besides, he didn't forget the dress of Mrs. Takiyama that he saw at the Yuan Ri Ceremony during the day.

As an attendant, on the contrary, she played tricks and wanted to join the mistress in the army, and Mrs. Longshan was too arrogant.

But Mingjia didn't take this opportunity to continue what he said just now. Seeing Bai Zai coming, he smiled and said perfunctorily: "Just now we were still saying that after the first day, it will be a new year, and the decorations in the room will be changed. It's a good omen if you change it. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Bai Zai took a deep look at Ming Jia.

Considering that she hasn't been married for too long, and the burden on her shoulders is not light, Mrs. Longshan will test the mistress's attitude and bottom line on such trivial matters, but it's just because she can't take advantage of major matters.

Mingjia has done a good job.Not to mention, the care for Rukia at today's first day ceremony.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Zai decided to say something that she didn't like to say for Ming Jia.

Think of it as repaying her kindness to Rukia.

"You asked them to change it?" Originally thought that Bai Zai would not care about such trivial matters, Ming Jia was also very surprised when he heard his question, and when he raised his eyes to see the other party's gaze, he immediately understood Bai Zai's meaning.

"I'm busy with Yuan Ri Ceremony, and I don't have time to ask about it recently. Mrs. Takiyama was thoughtful and arranged everything properly."

Glancing coldly at Mrs. Takiyama who was kneeling next to her, Bai Zai's voice was chilly, revealing a trace of casual displeasure: "You can make the decision for me!" He waved his hand away as he spoke without wanting to hear any other excuses. , "Back off."

As soon as the door was closed, Mingjia smiled softly.Although she herself is not helpless against Mrs. Takiyama, it is even rarer for Bai Zai to consider her position and speak for her.At least this shows that that person is not completely unintentional, and her usual efforts are more or less seen.

If you recognize her, you will protect her.Regardless of the reason for this kind of maintenance, Mingjia was still a little moved.

"Thank you." Ming Jia could see what he meant, and Bai Zai was not surprised, but in his opinion, this is not a big deal, and he can thank himself for this kind of thing...

He glanced at his wife who was smiling faintly, and his mood after being tired all day was strangely better.

She was quite easy to please.

"When are you going to congratulate Lord Musashi on the New Year?" Most of the people they visited before the Yuan Dynasty were important ministers of the Kuchiki clan, so after presiding over the ceremony, they should go to their wife's house to visit.

Mingjiasheng's mother has passed away, and Musashi's relationship with her is lukewarm. In fact, he is not very enthusiastic about returning to his natal family.But the New Year's visit is a rule and a favor, and she will not express her thoughts to Bai Zaiming. Thinking of the invitation card from Nanjo's house on January 23, she replied: "I heard that Master Yi Zhong and Eldest Sister want to go back the day after tomorrow. of."

Bai Zai nodded when he heard the words, and agreed, "Then let's go that day too."

Nanjo's family and Yuliang's family have different political stances, and Yura's family is also a speculator who is eager to make money. When the incident of adopting a daughter came to an end, the only one who really lost face was Junhui, whose request was rejected by her elder sister. This made Mingjia very upset. Happy.

Even if they didn't meet this concubine sister much and didn't have much relationship, they were all the daughters of the Xianyuan family after all.Yurara's attitude changed drastically when she was promoted to family status, she threw Chunhui's face on the ground and stomped on it, and even counted on her wife and sister.Mingjia needs to know the attitude of Musashi and Mizuho, ​​and then she can determine the position she should have.

Before the new year, Musashi received an invitation from his eldest son-in-law.Although it is not clear that Yuliang's family ever wanted to have Mizuho's daughter, it is quite unusual for the Nanjo family, who was born in the samurai family, to adopt a lady from a public house as an adopted daughter for no reason.He has four sons-in-law, and the most distinguished one is Kuchiki Byakuya, but Nanjo Yoshinaka is now the governor of the family and has always acted in a disciplined manner. Musashi still pays close attention to the Nanjo family's movements.Seeing that the two families chose to go home to visit on the same day, they also noticed some differences, so they seemed to take it very seriously.

Mizuho arrived before Mingjia, and after paying homage to Musashi, he went to visit his biological mother, Mrs. Ayu, while Yoshinaka talked with Musashi in the study.Not long after, Byakuya and Mingjia also arrived. After seeing the ceremony, Mingjia went to talk to Mizuho, ​​while Musashi and Yoshinaka welcomed Baizai into the study.

Mrs. Eriko is in charge of the inner house of the Hanin family, and she has both children. She seems to be the No. 1 in Musashi's concubine, and she often entertains guests when there are guests.But apart from visiting their natal family, Mingjia and Ruisui also take this opportunity to discuss adoption.Ruisui has a biological mother herself, and Mingjia has always been at odds with Eriko. She just goes through the motions and greets Mrs. Eriko before they both leave, which makes Eriko very angry.

After Mingjia got married, she had very little contact with her natal family, but her attitude was tough every time, and she didn't know when she got involved with Ruisui who hadn't seen a few times.Ruisui's biological mother is alive, and she is the same concubine as himself. If Ruisui gains power because of his close relationship with Mingjia, how can Mrs. Ayu become arrogant?This is something Eriko cannot tolerate.

Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to make indirect remarks, but I didn't know that Ming Jia didn't give her face like that, and didn't even bother to perfuse her.

☆、Episode29

"Fujiwara Tsunamichi-sama will be retiring from the Palace of Soul Kings at the end of the year." As soon as they met, Mizuho didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.Bai Zai had already mentioned this matter when she received the invitation, so she was not surprised.

"I already know, but who did Eldest Sister hear it from? Could it be that this matter has already spread?" Even Bai Zai only heard about it, so why did Ruisui say it so firmly?

Ruisui smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Where do I have any definite news! This matter was approached by the Santiao family, who wanted to promise Qian Ji to the eldest son of Otomo's family. Lord Yizhong didn't want to intervene hastily. Master Huihe Laiqin begged again, saying that he wanted to adopt Heji..."

Mingjia pondered.

Dayou's family is also a well-known high-ranking nobleman, a family of natural aristocrats. The previous suzerain, Dayou Zhengbang, was superb in swordsmanship and was honored as a "National Scholar".Historically, the sons of the eldest sons have always married noble daughters of the Wu family who were well-born, and never had close friendships with the family of Gongqing. If Qian Ji wanted to agree to such a family, she would naturally need to adopt her as an adopted daughter of the Wu family.

However, this is just the wishful thinking of the Sanjoin family. Even if Qian Ji became the adopted daughter of the Nanjo family, it does not mean that the marriage with the Otomo family will definitely be negotiated.For the sake of an uncertain future, if Sanjoin Jiri is such a childish person, how dare he covet the position of Fujiwara Tsunamichi?

His request can only show that he has reached a consensus with Dayou's family.

On the other hand, Yizhong also explained his decision in a concise manner: "...When he came to the door, Mrs. Lai had already accepted Mrs. Ajiuri as his side, and he seemed to be quite confident when he talked to me about adopting He Ji. In my humble opinion, If the Sanjoin family already has a tacit understanding with the Otomo family, even if I push this matter, it is just another family gaining the connections of the Otomo family at a lower price. I have also asked Mr. Laiqin what plans he has with the Matsuden family, maybe Laiqin My lord doesn't trust me very much, so I didn't say it clearly."

Musashi frowned upon hearing this.

When she married Chunhui to Bizen, she was the matchmaker of Bizen Mamoru Kajiwara Ji Jingbao at that time.Musashi and Ji Jing get along well, but the Kajiwara family has only one son, so it is impossible to marry Junhui as Mirenzhong.Yuliang's family is deeply valued by Ji Jing, and Musashi agreed to let his daughter marry far away in order to strengthen the relationship with Bizen.Unexpectedly, from now on, Yuliang Lai's ambition to be a wolf can't be trusted.

Byakuya also looked down on Yura Yori's character, but it was not good to say this in front of the other two, so he asked: "Then, does Yoshinaka-sama support Naganjiri-sama in Sanjoin?" Fujiwara Tsuna Dao will resign sooner or later, even if it is not the end of this year, it will not be very far away. Since the adoption of Qian Ji is a foregone conclusion, the most important thing now is to find out the position of the Nanjo family.

"Qi Ji's marriage was decided by the family of Sanjo and Otomo. According to Mr. Jiri, the dowry will be prepared by the family of Sanjo, and the family of Otomo has invited Patriarch Kenzaki to be the matchmaker. I'm just acting as a name, and I will run in the middle." It's just a leg, and it's just helping Otomo's family to get married, how can I have any position?" Nanjo Yoshinaka smiled reservedly, Musashi and Byakuya knew the elegant meaning of the song, and nodded at the same time.

The Matsudonian family is nothing more than a famous family, and it is only an offshoot of the Fujiwara family. Political capital and material capital do not occupy it.Matsuden Tadamitsu only sent a younger sister to the Yura family, and wanted to seek the support of the samurai family in the center of Seireitei and seize the political status of the Fujiwara family. This kind of thinking is not only arrogant, but also ignorant.However, Yuliang Yorimi knew that Yuliang's status was not enough to help Matsuden Tadamitsu achieve his goal, but he still accepted the Matsudon family's overtures, and then wanted to use the power of his wife's family in-laws to accumulate political capital for himself. This kind of behavior is really wrong gentleman.

Since the Nanjo family did not intend to intervene in the upcoming personnel disputes, then Musashi and Byakuya are naturally relieved from the perspective of the family.

After finding out what the Nanjo family's plan was, Mingjia breathed a sigh of relief.

Although her relationship with her natal family is not too close, she doesn't want to go her own way.The Kuchiki family is in charge of all affairs of the nobility, and the Kuchiki family is in charge of the finances and personnel of the Soul World. Because of this, the Kuchiki family must always be impartial in terms of personnel and political positions.If the Nanjo family and the Yura family have their own plans, and they both come to the Kuchiki family in the end, both of them are in-laws, and Kuchiki Byakuya has never been a person who looks at favors, then it is inevitable that he will lose face.

Mizuho, ​​the eldest sister, is astute, and she is quite congenial with Mingjia. The Nanjo family has no political demands, which is naturally the best for Mingjia.

"Chunhui is also in a dilemma." The two talked about the current situation of the Yura family, "Master Laiqin has not accepted the concubine for many years, and now he has returned from Bizen..."

Mingjia understands this very well.In the final analysis, it is unethical for Liang Lai to do things by himself, but outsiders always say that Chunhui is not virtuous. Even if Lai Qin didn't kill her first, Chunhui has no position to stop Lai Qin from accepting Mrs. Ajiuri.

"Then, is the second sister's intention about adoption?"

Ruisui and Chunhui are not much different in age, and they grew up together when they were young. Naturally, their relationship is deeper than that of Mingjia. Hearing this, he sighed deeply: "Master Lai wants to marry a daughter, what can Chunhui do?" Mingjia's question.

The two were speechless for a while.

Although they all disdain Lai Qin's behavior, after all, this is other people's business, and they are sisters, so it's hard to control them.

Although the Nanjo family has no political ideas, the Yuliang family obviously wants to take this trip. When Matsuden Tadamitsu wants to achieve his political goals, Yura Yoshino will definitely find a way to get Kuchiki.Byakuya didn't like Yura's family, but the Yura family was in-laws after all, and there were faces of his father-in-law Musashi and his wife Naka in it. Attitude.

Mingjia was about to speak to Mizuho, ​​asking her to find out what Nanjo Yoshinaka meant. The maid in front came to report, and Yura Yoshika and his wife also returned home to visit.

Mizuho just thought it was a coincidence, but Mingjia's face was a bit ugly.

The reason why she chose to go home today was that besides discussing with Mizuho to meet, she also didn't want to see Chunhui before she knew the reason, so as not to lose her attitude towards Yuliang.Therefore, before discussing with Ruisui, she deliberately inquired about Chunhui's itinerary, and decided on today's date when she heard that the other party planned to visit Zojoji Temple today.

If it wasn't intentional, she wouldn't believe it.

"If Mrs. Lai has made up her mind, I don't know what's going on in front of her..." She hinted to Ruisui implicitly.The two sisters looked at each other, and both decided not to agree to anything Chunhui said.

At noon, the restaurant was about to set meals, but suddenly there were two more guests, and Mrs. Eriko, who was in charge of the inner house, seemed a little flustered, and she felt a little bit more complaining about Chunhui and his wife in her heart.

There has never been such a sudden home visit, one or two are so unruly!

When Musashi saw the gift list brought back by Lai Qin, the expression on his face became more serious.

He said that he wanted to go home on a temporary basis, but the presents were neatly arranged. It was clear that he had prepared for it long ago. If Musashi didn't understand what happened, he would have been the head of the family for many years in vain.

I became even more disgusted with this son-in-law in my heart.

Zhongju served the meals, and everyone ate quietly.

Deliberately picking the time when all the sisters go home, Chun Hui and Lai Qin's purpose is of course clear, and she didn't expect to use the excuse of "coincidence" to hide Ming Jia.However, seeing Mingjia's eyes clearly, Chunhui's demeanor is still calm, and she doesn't deliberately come to get close, even her eldest sister Mizuho is not as close as usual.

If it was annoyed because of the rejection of the adoption request some time ago, it didn't look like it.

Mizuho obviously felt this too, but because she hadn't had a chance to speak with Nanjo Yoshinaka alone, and she hadn't shown her due attitude to Lai Qin's request for this trip, so it was inconvenient for her to get close to Chun Hui first, so He didn't speak either.

The whole lunch seemed a bit delicate.

Lai Qin's attitude still seemed very enthusiastic, Musashi felt a little unhappy, Byakuya was always expressionless and indifferent, and Nanjo Yoshinaka seemed very embarrassed when he was caught in the middle.

Musashi is an elder and father-in-law, so he can put on a higher stance, while Bai Zai has a high status and has always been well-behaved. He is famously serious, so he can naturally distance himself.He has always been gentle and gentle, and he couldn't learn Bai Zai's indifference, so he had to endure a few perfunctory words from Lai Qin, and the meal was very uncomfortable.

Feeling embarrassed, Gonianyose Hana Sanin who was next to Musashi hurried in, looked at the whole room with a strange expression: "My lord, Mrs. Oda is here."

It took Mingjia a while to realize that the "Mrs. Oda" that Mrs. Huashanin said was referring to Shadu, and her expression suddenly became subtle.

Huashanin only said "Ms. Oda has arrived" instead of "Master Oda and his wife have arrived", which means that Shadu came back alone.It's the first time I went back to my mother's house after Yuan Day, and it was lunch time, and I was still alone. It's weird to think about it, right?No matter how urgent it is, no one acts like this. There are Patriarch Oda Kiyomasa and Mrs. Wendai in Shadu, how can she be allowed to be so willful?

These thoughts have not been completely passed through the mind, the sound of hurried footsteps has already been heard in the corridor, the sound of fabric rubbing against the ground and the heavy footsteps are enough to express the owner's eagerness.

Immediately afterwards, Shadu appeared at the door with a face full of grievances.

"Father, mother, they all bully me!"

"Presumptuous!" Musashi's face sank like water, and his chest heaved violently with anger when he saw Shadu's disappointment.The three sons-in-law are all present, and the youngest daughter barges in regardless, doesn't say hello to anyone, and complains as soon as she enters the door. What kind of rules are there?I don't even know how to pretend, and I am ashamed to throw it in front of my son-in-law!

The author has something to say: Note: In the Edo period, the public family was divided into different families according to their status.The highest status is the "Shoguan family", that is, the five families of Konoe, Eagle, Ichi, Nijo, and Kujo, and the lower levels are divided from top to bottom into the Tsinghua family, the minister's family, the Habayashi family, the famous family and the half family.After the Kamakura period, the power of the public was gradually replaced by the samurai, and the Edo shogunate was a typical samurai regime. Therefore, the political influence of the public was not only weakened, but it was also very poor.In the Edo period, the emperor's salary was only [-] shi a year, and the families of general ministers were even poorer, and there was no comparison with the wealthy samurai regime.

☆、Episode30

Sha Du came in in a hurry and was full of grievances. He didn't have time to hear the report that there was a guest at home. He was taken aback by Musashi's yell. He also saw clearly that there were several sisters and brothers-in-law present, so he immediately added to his grievances ashamed.Thinking about how many older sisters were always accompanied by their husbands when they returned home, but I happened to encounter such an annoying thing, and I was even more angry.

Fortunately, she still knew not to yell in front of everyone, so she had to hold back her anger and bow to everyone. Mrs. Eriko knew that there was something wrong with her husband's house when she saw her daughter coming back in this state.

How many times have I said that Sha should not be too domineering, and that she should be docile and respectful when married.Didn't you see that in Mingjia's capacity, even after getting married, you can see the face of the Patriarch Kuchiki in everything?Shadu has always been capricious. She was afraid that if she lost her temper and offend the Oda family, she repeatedly advised her to be patient and to think about the consequences in everything. However, her daughter developed such a temper that she couldn't bear it at all.

How could the Oda family be happy when they came home alone just after the first day?Not to mention that several other daughters and sons-in-law are still present, Mr. Musashi is most concerned about face, how can he like Shadu?

Although after such a commotion, everyone knew that Shadu went home to complain, but for the sake of Yue's family's face, the sons-in-law could only pretend not to see it. Mrs. Eriko hurriedly asked Zhongju to set up another seat, and Shadu reluctantly Qiang sat down and picked up the rice grains in the bowl with his chopsticks, obviously absent-minded.

Ming Jia glanced at this concubine who couldn't even pretend, and sighed inwardly.

This first day is really eventful!

Suddenly, she felt a look from the opposite seat, and when she raised her head, she collided with Bai Zai's eyes in the air.

The arrival of Laiqin and his wife and Shadu caught people off guard, and it was not good to say that they would leave at this moment. Therefore, she needed to know Baizai's attitude towards the matter of Yura's family.

Eriko was disturbed by Sandu, and she wished she could get rid of everyone and talk to her daughter alone, to see what happened. Musashi didn't want to see these people standing in front of her, so Mingjia put down the bowls and chopsticks, pretending to be nonchalant Zi Zi said: "Father has been tired for a long time, and we drank wine at the banquet, why not take a break. We are juniors, we should take your time."

At this moment, Musashi only felt a headache, and he was anxious to know what happened to the Oda family, so that Sha rushed back like this regardless of face.

It is this daughter who has the most complicated feelings, but it is also this daughter who is the most witty and witty. Compared with Sha Du who does not know the importance and Chun Hui who is obedient, I do not know how many times better.It's a pity that the relationship with him is lukewarm, and he can't be ashamed to get close to Ming Jia first. Up to now, on the contrary, his attitude towards Bai Zai is more enthusiastic than Ming Jia.

"You came back early in the morning and are tired, so take a rest and talk later."

"What's worth running home on the first day of the new year?" Everyone else made excuses to go back to their room to rest, only Sato's mother and daughter and Musashi were left. excuse.

Shadu was spoiled by Eriko, but he still restrained himself in front of Musashi. Seeing that his sisters and brothers-in-law all returned home on this day, he guessed that something big might happen at home, and secretly felt that he was a little reckless.However, the Oda family was too irritating, and it was impossible for her to endure it. When her mother asked her, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Father, mother, the Oda family is too bullying!"

On the day of Mingjia’s wedding, the tradition of heavy and gorgeous bridal makeup was changed. Mrs. Oda Fumyo saw both Shadu’s jealousy and Oda Masa’s astonishment. go down.

She held her nose and married this daughter-in-law in order to maintain the relationship with the Xianyuan family, and for the sake of Sha Du's love for her son, but now that her daughter-in-law can't hold her son's heart, she, as a mother, can't let her go.

So after returning home, she began to choose a concubine candidate for Oda Masa.

At first, Patriarch Oda was worried that this move would anger the Xianyuan family, and the gain outweighed the loss, but Mrs. Wen Dai didn't think so.

It is true that the Kanin family is expensive, but there is no reason why the husband's family should not be allowed to have a concubine, and this thought became more determined after hearing that Yura Yori had taken Matsuden Tadamitsu's sister as a side.

Neither of the two eldest sisters objected to their husband's acceptance, and Sha had no reason to disagree.Even if she didn't want to, the Xianyuan family didn't seem to be unhappy with their son-in-law because of this kind of thing. If that's the case, why hesitate?

"Just because of this kind of thing, you ran back to your mother's house alone crying?" After listening to Sato's narration, the veins on the back of Musashi's hand bulged, "absurd!" He waved his hands and stood up angrily, even Eriko got angry : "It's all because of your upbringing! Yizhong and Laiqin, who doesn't have a concubine? Have you ever seen Ruisui and Chunhui go home crying? Xianyuan's face is completely embarrassing for you!"

Sha Du trembled from being scolded, and seeing his father not standing by him, and leaving with his hands away, and even his mother complaining, he couldn't help being even more aggrieved: "We've only been married for a long time, what are you talking about for the sake of children, it's not that I don't want children! It's all an excuse, it's just that I don't like it!"

Eriko was also taken aback by Musashi's reaction, she had already left the door before Musashi could explain, and when she turned around to see her daughter crying miserably, she felt uncomfortable.But Sha Du's attitude made her even more headache.

"You also know that you are not pleasing to the eye? Why don't you think that Mrs. Wen Dai has only one son, so why does she dislike you? I told you not to be too willful. You can't be wronged if you are married. Why are you so Do not listen?"

Both parents had this attitude, and Shadu suddenly felt very hopeless.Thinking of the end of the first day ceremony yesterday, she was exhausted and just wanted to have a good rest, but Mrs. Wen Dai recruited two beautiful girls over, saying that she had turned one year old, but Oda Masaru had Yu Sora under her knees. As a mother, she couldn't bear to watch The daughter-in-law is under too much pressure, so the decision is made to set up two side rooms for the eldest son, and ask them to serve tea to him.

At that time, her blood was about to coagulate, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak a word, but Oda Masaru just watched from the side, and she didn't even open her mouth to refuse, it was obvious that she had intended it a long time ago!

At the beginning of the new year, she still hoped to have a child soon, and her position in the Oda family would be stabilized. She didn't expect that Mrs. Wen Dai would do such a thing indiscriminately. Sha Du was wronged and at the same time was inexplicable, completely unaware of her recent past. What on earth made Mrs. Wendai so unhappy that she made such a fool of herself in the New Year.

With a stiff face, she asked Mrs. Wen Dai what dissatisfaction she had, and she insisted on refusing to take it.
