One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 182
In July of the 15th year of Fengyuan, in early autumn, the heat gradually receded, and the luxuriant trees in the courtyard gradually changed their color, yellow, red, and emerald green.

"The scenery is different in the autumn of Saixia. A glass of turbid wine is home for thousands of miles. People can't sleep. The general has white hair and tears." Hou Shizi looked at the wet words and was full of praise, "Good sentence, it can be seen that the princess has not wasted these years. Time, mother will be pleased."

It was he who misunderstood his sister-in-law, and always thought that her recent laziness was due to a habit developed since childhood, which caused him to have trouble sleeping and eating for a long time.

She still has trouble sleeping and eating, but she doesn't listen to him.

"Picking up people's teeth, I made you two laugh." Yuan Zhao said casually, standing with his hands behind his hands in front of the map of the Southwest Territory, and asked himself, "What is the second brother looking for me?"

This is the north courtyard where my father lives. There are guards, and only the direct descendants can enter.Tonight, I served my mother to rest after drinking the medicine, and I felt like walking here to see things and think about people.

Not long after, the second elder brother brought his future eighth sister-in-law Mai Hu.

"It's not me looking for you, it's Ah Dou who has something to tell you."

Hou Shizi put down the picture, but the words on it had been deeply rooted in his mind, which made him full of worries, and he didn't dare to read more.Thinking of him sitting in the mansion of a seven-foot man, letting his elderly father guard the territory, his heart is pierced, but he can't help.

I thought I was the only one who felt guilty, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to think so too.

For a moment, Hou Shizi had mixed feelings and couldn't hide his sadness, so he quickly sat aside to cover up his gaffe.And knowing that the future eighth sister-in-law had something to say, Yuan Zhao also left Tutu and sat down directly at the chief:

"Mr. Mai, please tell me something."

"The grass people dare not be the prince of the princess, the princess and the prince should call the grass people a Dou." Mai Hu gave her a deep bow, "The grass people received the order from the master to come to the Marquis to get married, and another token is handed over. With the princess."

Originally, there was nothing wrong with Prince Hou, but the princess is a woman, and she sees that outsiders have a bad reputation, so a man from the family needs to be present.

Today is Zhilan's attendant, she takes the token and presents it to Yuan Zhao.

It was a black iron token with a flame pattern engraved in the middle, glowing like a red sun.Even with Canglong as the name of the country, the Beiyue clan's belief in the Sun Lord Empress seems to be engraved in their bones, and it has a long history and will last forever.

Although she had heard her father tell the history of the Beiyue Clan, she still felt inconceivable about this unshakable belief that persisted for thousands of years.

However, she has no obsession with the Sun Lord Empress, especially since her father is suffering at the border, and the Sun Lord Empress has not blessed him.In the final analysis, everyone's misfortune, fortune, and survival must be turned around by their own efforts, and there is no need to rely on others.

When she was more than two years old, she was coaxed by others because of her youth and ignorance, and was forced to climb the Jinyun Terrace to seek the protection of the Japanese Empress. Now she no longer needs this belief.

Faith is nothing more than adding a sense of mystery to Bei Yuezhi's legendary past, and has no other effect.

This is the token of the Patriarch of the Beiyue Clan, also known as the clan order.

"Holding the clan order, it should be used as a plan for the clan." Yuan Zhao read it over and over again, and said, "Unfortunately, there are not many people left in my Beiyue clan, and they are scattered in various counties, so there is nothing good to plan."

She deserves to be the patriarch, it is very easy.

"Princess don't say anything depressing." Hou Shizi frowned, and cautiously cupped his hands towards the sky, "The benevolence of the Tianjia, my family can live and work in peace and contentment in each county, and have a long line of descendants. How can we say that there are not many left?"

"Second brother is right, I misunderstood." Yuan Zhao put the token aside with a smile, and said, "Ruling a family is like running a family. There is no priority. You should know everything. If you don't know something, you will die .Now my people are scattered all over the place, beyond our reach.

There is no way to start the position of patriarch, so it will be put on hold for now.Father made this arrangement for his own reasons, so don't mind the second brother. "

It must be known that the Hou Mansion does not have a son-in-law, but let her be a woman as the head of the family, and others must think too much.For example, he is the second son on the surface, but in fact, no one has heard too many heart-pounding words about him, and sooner or later he will turn against him.

"In today's Hou Mansion, what's the difference who is the head of the family?" Hou Shizi smiled wryly, and looked at Mai Hu who was waiting quietly, "Adou, you can think about it, marrying the girl of my Hou Mansion may not end well. , It’s too late to regret.”

"Yeah," Yuan Zhao also persuaded gently, "Don't care about what the elders say, they are too far away to care about."

Tsk, Hou Shizi gave her a displeased look. If such unorthodox words are spread, the world will criticize them. They are really outspoken.

It's fine to think about it for yourself, but you still have to speak out to influence others.

"Thank you, princess and son, for your compassion," Mai Hu clasped his hands, "In life, one does not want to be famous through the ages, but to be worthy of one's heart. Although Mai Hu has no excellence, he is not afraid of death. Follow the teachings of his father Before serving you, even if you die, you will have no complaints."

"Although there is no complaint, but it must be a bit regretful." Hou Shizi smiled, his eyes were gentle, as if he had insight into people's hearts, "Who among scholars has no ambition? If you miss the opportunity to enter the court to show your ability, you will regret it in the future."

As someone who has experienced it, he expresses his feelings.

"Your Majesty's words are not bad," Mai Hu sighed, being poked in the center of his mind, "but since Cao Min stepped into the Hou's Mansion, this opportunity has been missed and cannot be recovered."

No matter how he explained, people outside only regarded him as a member of the Hou family.It's not bad if you can save your life, so what fame are you talking about?
"Hahaha..." Hou Shizi was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Not bad, not bad, you boarded the wrong boat!"

He likes to talk to wise people, and he takes it without saying it.Just like chatting with a sister-in-law, it is very easy and burden-free.

Seeing the scene where they looked at each other and smiled, Yuan Zhao had a smile on his lips, and he had a deep understanding of the second brother's joy.

"By the way, why did you choose the word A Dou? Could it be a nickname?" Hou Shizi asked curiously.

"Ten buckets of grain, for the Hu family, is the high hope my father placed on me." Mai Hu explained, "The family from the mountain family pretended to be arty and elegant, which made everyone laugh."

He is a son of a scholarly family, so he forged his household registration in order to obtain fame despite his relationship with Dingyuanhou.As the son of Yamato, the name is unavoidably vulgar and ignorant, which reduces the suspicion of outsiders.

Although he was young, he went out to study with teachers since he was ten years old, traveled around the magnificent rivers and mountains of the dynasty, and knew a thing or two about the whereabouts of the Beiyue people.

The Beiyue people who were scattered in various counties died many young men trying to overthrow the tyrant.After being plundered by the Feng clan, at the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, a group of strong men who angrily reprimanded the Feng clan for their betrayal died again.

The old and the weak, women and children are left to take care of the young children. Whenever a child grows up, the smarter one will die in an accident.

Today, Beiyue clansmen from all over the world are either old or young, mediocre, or suffering from illness... In short, except for the Beiyue clan in Kyoto, the rest of the clansmen are still alive, but they are useless and have no fighting spirit. .

Hou Shizi's eyes were slightly wet, and he wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but he couldn't say a word.

Yuan Zhao lowered his eyes, tapped his fingers on his knees, and said after a long time:

"You plan to obtain fame and fame, and you have traveled to famous mountains and rivers, so you have extraordinary knowledge. In this way, anyway, after you and Eighth Sister get married, you will live in the mansion, so you can teach the children to read every day, just in time for the second brother to rest."

"Yes, that's right," the calm Hou Shizi couldn't help nodding, and said happily, "The mansion will give you a monthly training, so that no outsiders will gossip. Of course, I will test your talent tomorrow, if you fail to meet the requirements , this statement is void."

Haha, the second elder brother was still thoughtful, Yuan Zhao smiled.

"It's better to be obedient than to be respectful to the grass-roots people," Mai Hu accepted the assessment calmly, and made a big gift to the two, "Thank you princess and prince for your appreciation."
