Gushan Bu Shui won't be so concerned about other small things. As long as it's about practical benefits and a little bit of fame, it's fine.

The matter of wives and daughters is different, status is great benefit, whether you have it or not is a huge difference for a family of Gushan's status.

Hongye didn't like the idea of ​​showing off one's power in front of others. If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't even want to be the nominal leader of the Whirlpool Country.

Some things cannot be changed based on one's own will. If Gu Shan Bu Shui was alone, there would be no need to put so much thought into it.

"It's different when you have care and bondage!"

Fusugi Fusui secretly sighed to Kaguya Otsutsuki who was watching.

After a long discussion with the elders, we reluctantly reached an agreement.

Gushan Bushui slaughtered the livestock himself and offered the heads to ancestors as sacrifices. The bones and meat were cooked in a large pot. After they were cooked, they were distributed to everyone in small bowls.

It's not overly delicious, but it's not unpalatable either. It's a bit bland, but it's tender and delicious. The heat is right, and it's still a pretty good broth.

People who enter the inner hall are not just there for the bowl of soup, but also for the symbolic meaning of the Gushan master personally butchering and dividing the meat.

This kind of tradition has been maintained for thousands of years. Naturally, everyone here understands that the broth that Young Master Gu Shan brought over must be continued. There are some things that you have to recognize even if you don't recognize them.

Before the one-village-one-country system was established, the ancestors of the Gushan family had actually given up the custom of taking concubines and raising concubines. This was also the reason why the population had not been prosperous for two hundred years.

After losing the country, he merged with the daimyo. According to the rules, only the reigning daimyo needed to give birth to a qualified heir and maintain the stability of the power structure, while retaining the tradition of marrying a concubine.

In modern times, there is no legal basis for recognizing illegitimate children or children born outside the family.

In order to give both parties a step down, the family elders also took great pains to dig out a traditional marriage custom that had disappeared for hundreds of years from the pile of old papers to explain it.

Since Gusugi Bushui and Hongye already had four children, and the existing traditions had no way to restore their reputation, they searched from ancient books. As a result, they actually found an ancient custom called "asking for a wife"

.

Specifically, the woman lives with her brothers and sisters. If the man is interested in the woman, he can come directly to inquire and express his love. If the woman and her family agree, it is considered a successful "wife inquiry".

Next, the man can sneak into the woman's boudoir, have sex with her, and leave early in the morning after a night, or he can linger for a few days before leaving.

If you are still nostalgic, you can keep this relationship forever. If you get tired of it, you can stop leaving.

Of course, if you don't welcome the woman back home and become a naturalized wife, it will be difficult to guarantee the woman's fidelity. It is also possible to agree to someone else's "wife question" and end the relationship with the man.

If a child is born, the woman will raise it and the man will pay child support.

Isn’t it weird?

This is actually an unstable relationship between husband and wife, a special product of a special period. After the Six Paths Immortal sent Asura and Indra to eliminate most of the disasters in the ninja world, and people's living environment has been greatly improved, it gradually

Disappeared.

At first glance, it seems a bit similar to the trial marriage system and walking marriage system that existed among ethnic minorities in southwest China in Gushan Bushui's previous life, but there are essential differences.

The "asking wife" in this world is a truly subservient relationship between husband and wife, but it is very unstable. It is essentially a side wife with a certain degree of autonomy. If the man does not have a legitimate wife and heir, the "asking wife" and her children

, fully qualified to inherit property and status.

This is a kind of concubine who does not live together, has not gone through formal etiquette, and although she is not married to a matchmaker, she still lives in her natal family.

If the relationship between Kosugi Bosui and Momiji is fixed with the ritual of "asking for his wife", as long as Kosugi Bosui does not fall in love with another person in the future, marries his first wife according to the aristocratic etiquette of the time, and gives birth to direct children, Hongye and the four

There is no impact on my daughter.

There are not many people in the Uzumaki family who can take the stage. Without Momiji, it is just a mess. There is no need to ask. If you agree or disagree, you have the final say?

On the surface, it looks like there are just a few twists in the procedure and a slight flaw in the name, but the most serious loopholes have been plugged.

Of course, Gu Shan Bu Shui also understood that these elders also had their own thoughts.

The current young governor is young and energetic, and he gets along well with Hongye. His daughters are also on par with each other, and the family is very harmonious.

However, the future is still very long, and Hongye is many years older than Gushan Bu Shui. If he becomes old and loses his temper in the future, and he is unhappy, Gushan is still young and strong, so he might like a younger woman.

At that time, will their opportunity come?

With such a plan, Gushan Bu Shui didn't even have to guess at the intentions behind their respectful gestures, he could see what they had planned.

There is definitely no way to argue now. Instead of refuting Major Governor Gushan's face here, it is better to place our hope in the future.

Although it is not a complete victory, it can be considered a great progress. From now on, Hongye will be the wife who is married to Gusugi Busui through ancient rituals. Whether she is "one" depends on Gusugi Busui's own thoughts.

After a brief communication with Hongye, Gusugi Fusui, who temporarily accepted this condition, let out a long sigh of relief.

"This is more difficult and exhausting than fighting Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion!"

If you really want them to "take it orally", Major Governor Gushan has many ways. If you want to make them "convinced", he also has a series of ninjutsu that you can use.

But, it can’t be used!

In essence, they were not against Gushan Bu Shui, nor were they even rejecting Hongye and his children. Instead, they maintained the order of the Gushan family's transcendent status and stable authority, which drove them to violate the rules of the Gushan family.

There are so many old men with white hair and beards who have watched the master's family grow up. They are not enemies. Therefore, as long as they don't really want to harm the Gushan Bushui family, the young governor will not use excessive means against them.

"The most annoying thing is that these old stubborns are trying to cause trouble for me under the guise of doing good for me. However, due to many reasons, they can't really fall out. In essence, they also have a share in the Gushan family's huge foundation.

.”

Hearing Gushan Bushui complain in a low voice, the "Goddess of Qianmao" rarely showed a mysterious smile:

"To put it bluntly, we are not truly omnipotent and selfless gods. We are just indigenous people who have the power of gods but retain human nature. We have different levels of strength and knowledge. In terms of understanding and awareness, there is no essential thing.

Different. Maybe, there is real power of God in this universe. Looking at the natives of the ninja world, we are just little ants and slightly stronger crickets."

"Let me tell you, this goddess, have you been too sentimental lately? This is not the style of the mastermind behind the ninja world, the ultimate villain. You have to stand up so that I can help you."

Major Governor Kosugi is still busy working on a way out, and Kaguya Otsutsuki, a great supporter, has lost his motivation. What should we do?

"Isn't it your bad idea? After peeling off the 'wedge' after the ten tails, it did leave me a way out, but it also allowed me to receive a lot of information. People's cognition and temperament are more or less affected by the environment.

of."

Kaguya Otsutsuki in the seal can regard the experiences of "Chinatsu" and others as the story of Nankeyi, but to a certain extent, the bright and unparalleled Kaguya of the past has been tainted with the fireworks of the world.

This is different from the perception of water through ancient fir trees, and the feeling of everything in the world like seeing flowers in the mist. Watching people compete with the angry waves of the sea through a TV screen is not the same thing as going into the water and learning to swim in person.

The so-called dream is actually just a release of unhealthy subconscious thinking, which will also "pollute" Kaguya Otsutsuki's original will.

"Is it my fault?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui responded nonchalantly,

"This is all your own choice. If you don't want to, I can still kill you in the seal of God Earth Explosion Star to force you."

If they were face to face, the young governor might not be able to win. To deal with the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara, he would have to sneak attack, ambush and besiege to succeed. Kaguya Otsutsuki was once a goddess after all, and she was really no match for ordinary people.

"The birth of Hagoromo and Hamura was both an opportunity and a disaster for me, but I didn't grasp it. This time, it's the same. More experiences and richer emotions are not bad things. How to choose and make decisions

is the key."

"No matter what, I hope you won't regret it. If you want to complain, don't take it out on me."

Gu Shan Bu Shui laughed secretly in his heart,

"The pros and cons are up to you. I'm just a 'quasi-Otsutsuki clan member', not your compatriot. What's more, the relationship between the Otsutsuki clan members is not necessarily that good."

"Compatriot? You can at best be considered my 'guardian'. It is risky to resist your superiors."

"You're just doing this kind of thing, so what are you afraid of? What works is what works!"

Gu Shan Bu Shui responded naturally,

"Okay, okay, when the time comes, I might ask the goddess to help you. I won't discuss this today. I'm going to go out with my family later."

During the ritual ceremony, the elders who had always caused trouble for Gushan Bushui were given a break this time, and Major Governor Gushan also spoke kind words to them in a pleasant manner.

With money and benefits in place, even if it's a little offensive, I can tolerate it.

Next, their mother, Princess Ruri, and their father, Masaki Kosugi, asked their servants to deliver the remaining meat in the cauldron to the outer hall, so that the people waiting could enjoy the soup together.

This time, the host does not divide the meat in person, but is presided over by the trusted butler.

Hongye held the soup bowl and let Xianglin eat a few mouthfuls, and then fed the three little girls a few mouthfuls of soup. Xiaojing and Xiaosi couldn't eat it after a little taste. Greasy food is not good for a two-year-old child.

It was a little early, and Xiao Hiiragi liked it a bit. Although it didn't taste very good in the mouth, it tasted quite fragrant.

Finally, Hongye drank some soup, put the bowl aside, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the greasy mouths of the little guys.

"Your father and I have worked hard for so many years to let you drink this soup! But now that the day has come, we don't feel so much emotion."

Because I had predicted it and it was a matter of course, the surprise was relatively weak, but the joy in my heart was real.

On a cold night, waiting for so long just to drink a bowl of broth that is neither very hot nor very tasty is indeed a bit difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Xianglin, who came here for the first time, didn’t understand much at first. Gradually, she understood. She held her mother’s warm hand and asked happily:

"Can I go out to play with my father openly in the future?"

"Well, it's not enough for the special festival, but everything else is fine."

"Those...I didn't want to go in the first place. It's boring to just pretend and torment people."

"You don't want to go. There are many people who want to go, just to look familiar in front of your father. In the future, you will also have to learn to deal with more things..."

"Really!"

Xianglin, who seemed to have some thoughts but not deeply, grabbed the restless Xiaohiira's hand, covered his red little face, and applied some antifreeze before saying carelessly,
