Yoshiko Matsumae only felt a headache.
Should we tell this fact to the old guys in the family?
No.
With the mentality of those guys, they definitely don't care about human life and will arrest and kill this man without permission.
These are the people my sister hates the most.
This is also one of the few opinions that Matsumae Yoshiko agrees with her sisters.
The rules cannot be broken, and Lord Bai Ye cannot be concealed.
What should I do?
Do you really want to send this young man named Fujii to death?
If I had told those guys the truth.
What will happen to Xinchun?
Matsumae Yoshiko walked quickly from the back hall to the side room of the shrine. She came to Matsumae Shinharu's room and hurriedly opened the door.
".aunt?"
The little niece was sitting in the middle of the side room, wearing a heavy twelve-piece dress. She seemed confused by her own anxiety.
The moment my little niece looked up.
Matsumae Yoshiko immediately thought of the "sister" who was also asked to be replaced.
This look, this tone of voice
There is a small teardrop mole under the right eye.
picture.
so similar.
Exactly the same as her sister.
"It's okay, I just wanted to see how you were preparing."
"Well, I'm waiting for the time to come, aunt." Matsumae Shinchun replied with a smile.
Hearing her gentle voice calling her "Aunt", Matsumae Yoshiko seemed to feel extra emotions from it.
Xinchun has called herself "Auntie" since she was a child.
If the elders were told that Xinchun was seen by someone, the young man named Fujii would undoubtedly be held responsible.
But at the same time, it is also a fact that Xinchun is seen by others.
Those guys are much more rigid than me.
Heart Spring
I will definitely be replaced by the old guys just like my sister.
Although she is the daughter of the master of the family, she is the blood of the master's family.
But it’s not like my brother can’t have another child.
It wouldn't be a problem to let my brother remarry a woman of the same age as Xinchun.
This is really uncomfortable.
"aunt?"
Feeling extremely conflicted, Matsumae Yoshiko regained her composure after looking at Matsumae Shinharu's face.
This child calls himself "Auntie", which is really kind and pleasant.
She looked calm, just said "It's okay" to the child, and turned and left.
On the way back to the palace.
She has been struggling with the solution.
The way to save Xinchun.
At the same time, don't let yourself break the rules.
Anxious, she came to the back hall and suddenly, in front of the Jade Fox statue, she remembered what she had said to her niece not long ago.
Matsumae Yoshiko frowned, turned back quickly, and found Matsumae Shinharu again.
"Aunt? Why are you back again?"
"nothing."
Yoshiko Matsumae maintained her dignity as an elder in front of her little niece, asked her about some things to note during the festival, and started the conversation again, trying to get some information out of her.
She could see that Matsumae Shinchun also wanted to know something about her.
After some guidance, Xinchun finally couldn't help it.
".Aunt, what I just said."
"Suppose someone secretly saw you doing that?"
"Yes, if I mean if, if the other party came here under the guidance of Lord Bai Hua. And Lord Bai Hua still has his wallet in his mouth. Could it be that God is guiding me?"
When Matsumae Yoshiko heard this, her pupils dilated.
Was that guy brought by Lord Bai Hua?
If so, it makes sense.
She was worried that she couldn't find a suitable reason.
But is it really such a coincidence?
"Woo~~"
At this moment, Baihua suddenly ran in, swaying its snow-white tail in the moonlight, and instantly ran into Matsumae Xinchun's arms with light steps.
Matsumae Shinchun reached out and stroked the snow fox in her arms.
Yoshiko Matsumae looked at the scene in front of her, thoughts surging in her mind.
in this way
So one or two.
In order to protect Xinchun, and also to abide by the rules of the Matsumae family
Matsumae Yoshiko knew what to do.
After talking to her little niece for a few words, she got up and left the side room.
She continued to prepare for the Jade Fox Festival according to the steps, and called someone over to remind her that the position of "Seimei" should be replaced by someone else.
After the parade, it was time for the grand ceremony.
As the chief priest of Matsumae Shrine, Yoshiko Matsumae performs sacrifices and divination according to the procedures of previous years.
She actually never really believed in divination.
But today was strange, because no matter how you calculated, Xinchun and the young man named Fujii were a perfect match in terms of numerology, personality, and horoscope.
Even if she followed the ancient process and asked the Jade Fox God for permission, the result would still be the same.
"Could it be that this young man is really Xinchun's destiny?"
The ceremony has reached the most important part.
The young man named Fujii took the lead and led a group of Taoist priests to put countless characters into the brazier.
In fact, the chief priest of the shrine has always known one thing.
That is the stage of choosing words. If there are words left in the basin, then they are the choice of gods.
If not, it means that the god has indicated that he does not want to elect this year and has handed over full authority to the shrine's chief priest to act on his behalf.
After the alchemist's ceremony was completed, Matsumae Yoshiko went to take a look inside the altar out of curiosity.
——All is ashes.
It really seems like God is helping us.
Yoshiko Matsumae had already thought of the words for this year in her mind.
That is [life].
Write your own [life].
Not only can it be a natural choice to choose a suitable son-in-law for the Matsumae family, but it also happens to fulfill the wishes of those old guys.
Because the elder brother only married his elder sister and they only had one daughter, Xinchun.
This is definitely not good for the inheritance of the Matsumae family.
The old guys definitely hope that the main branch of the Matsumae family will branch out.
My brother doesn't want to remarry.
This responsibility naturally fell on Xinchun.
Anyway, the selection of the son-in-law is done by myself and my brother. As long as the person is really suitable, talented, and meets my taste, and he is ten years older than me, what's wrong with that?
The child born to them can just replace his elder brother when he steps down.
Dad would definitely be happy to see this.
Not to mention that Xinchun is almost reaching childbearing age.
Thinking of this, Yoshiko Matsumae almost laughed.
It really is the right time, the right place, and the right people.
All three elements are present.
She herself has to believe that Fujii is the destined choice for her niece!

After the ceremony, my father came to find me as expected.
