Mrs. Shijimi is the daughter-in-law of the reigning daimyo, the crown prince's wife, and the aunt of Kosugi Bosui.
It is also common for my mother, Gu Shan Liuli, to have tea with my sister-in-law.
On the surface, the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law are in a happy relationship, but there must be some hidden emotions behind them that are not obvious to outsiders.
Mrs. Shijimi, who is a little older than Furugi Ruri, has a decent family background, but she is definitely incomparable with a wealthy family like Furusugi. In addition, she has an average appearance, a fat body, and wears heavy makeup in her daily clothes, giving off the cheapness of a nouveau riche. The feeling is far inferior to Princess Liuli's elegant temperament from the inside out.
How Mrs. Shijimi successfully married the prince is a story that happened many years ago, and there is nothing special worth mentioning.
Even so, the internal relationship within the daimyo family was relatively harmonious. Over the years, Gushan Bushui had not heard of any conflicts between his uncle and aunt.
After Princess Liuli passed away to the Gusugi family, the two families got along very well. A few years ago, for Mrs. Shijimi's 40th birthday, Gusugi Fusui gave her a small brown-colored kitten, which was deeply loved by the other party and was also used as a gift. He was named "Little Tiger".
It's actually easy to get along with a passionate person like Mrs. Shijimi, but her way of expression is too direct and not very acceptable.
Fortunately, as time went by, I got used to it.
Compared with those poor relatives who don't have much ability and have a lot of troubles, Mrs. Shijimi is already pretty good.
Gu Shan Liuli didn't think it was a bad thing to have such a sister-in-law who was not very scheming and malicious, but could speak a few common words.
No, taking the opportunity to watch the "King of Fighting" event, I came to Yuqi Island to chat again. The only person who is qualified and suitable to accompany and entertain is Gu Shan Bushui's mother.
Because too many things happened recently, Gushan Bushui breathed a sigh of relief after the governor of the Gushan family left, who was a bit emotionally unstable.
"Every time my aunt comes over, my mother looks a little restless!"
"Your mother is too proud and worries too much. She has a slightly slow perception and almost no worries about Mrs. Shijimi's temperament. She may be envious, but also jealous..."
Gushan Zhengcheng shook his head slightly,
"The Kosugi family is just a candidate for a daimyo after all. Some things are not so free and easy..."
"It's my willfulness that makes mother and you worry!"
Gu Shan Bu Shui is still aware of this. If he had to worry less, his family would not have so much trouble, and his parents would feel more at ease.
"What a stupid thing to say!"
Kosugi Masaki swung the folding fan in his hand, fanned it slightly, and blew his temples slightly, and then responded proudly,
"As parents, of course you have to deal with the aftermath of your children who get into trouble! While we are still able to take care of the situation, we can make more arrangements if we can. In a few years, your mother and I will be old and we may not be able to do anything..."
"You are in the prime of your life, but you are still far away from old age..."
"You know what I mean, Bu Shui..."
Kosugi Masaki suppressed his smile slightly and said seriously,
"When you return home this time, you must understand that when you grow up, it is time for you to assume the responsibility of the young governor of the Gushan family. The inheritance of the family name is the most important thing. If you have no direct descendants, the daimyo will again appoint a clan vassal. Inherit the Gushan family business, or choose an heir from the side line. I know you despise those dandy boys who are just waiting to die. Are you willing to let the huge Gushan family fall into their hands, squander wealth, and corrupt the family? Family name?"
Simply put, Gu Shanbu Shui, who is over 20 years old, should seriously consider the candidate for his first wife.
Since a maid can give birth to an illegitimate daughter at the age of fifteen or sixteen, her health must be fine. All she needs is to marry a noblewoman with sufficient status and give birth to a direct heir.
Only in this way can those greedy eyes peeking overtly and covertly stop.
Think about how many cronies the Gushan Bushui family has promoted since they became the family leaders, and how many originally powerful factions have been marginalized?
"Father……"
Gu Shan Bu Shui rarely said solemnly,
"I don't have much attachment to the Gushan family business. I just feel that in comparison, those arrogant people are even less worthy of it. The current situation is that I can't let go even if I want to, otherwise I can't bear the consequences, so I just I can keep going. But..."
Taking a deep breath and making up his mind, the young governor continued to explain:
"I don't want to be a family heir who lives in the expectations of others all my life, find a decent noble girl to marry, have a few children, and then wait to die. Nor do I want to waste the rest of my life fighting endless conspiracies... …”
"You have been persisting in going to Konoha Village for more than ten years, but it has ended in vain. Have you not given up yet?"
"Please give me a few more years. If I don't get what I want in Konoha Village, I can try other places..."
"Are you sure of success? You have to know that even a master like Kazuma, who is more powerful than the average jounin, will have a hard time controlling the balance of the Gusugi clan and getting others to accept your ideas..."
"I know!"
Gu Shan Bu Shui nodded clearly.
Even if you don't have the prestige of the "Five Kage", you must at least be as famous as the "Sannin", Konoha White Fang, Shunshen Shisui, and Konoha Technician.
Reality and reputation are indispensable in order to be accepted by everyone.
Although the profession of ninja is rejected by the great aristocracy, if it really becomes among the top few, wonderful changes will occur.
Status, wealth, influence, force, etc. are all the means of persuasion. If no one listens to you, or if you say nothing, it's not that the theory is wrong, but that you are not strong enough.
The Gushan family is committed to maintaining the old tradition because it is the foundation of their existence. It is like a broken ship that is about to capsize, moving forward in the storm, trying to find the other shore where it can settle. As the helmsman, it is impossible to dismantle the ship and go separate ways. Before finding a new ship, you have to work hard to repair it and make this broken ship last longer.
The Road of Ninja is another new ship that seems promising. Anyone with insight will understand it. However, there are already people on the new ship. How to catch a smooth sailing or even seize the ship is not an easy task.
Kosugi Bosui's more than ten years of studying in Konoha Village did not succeed in the end, which proved that the idea of "changing ships" was feasible, but it was too difficult.
"Do you think that with your talent, you can get to that point without a top teacher to teach you?"
"Hope definitely exists, and I can't say how big it is, but I'm not willing to give up like this!"
"Okay, I agree!"
"Eh?"
Gu Shanbu Shui, who thought that persuasion would be difficult and had prepared a lot of excuses, was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
"Mom's side..."
"I'm here to persuade you. Anyway, it won't delay things, but..."
Gushan Zhengcheng warned seriously,
"You have to promise that no matter whether you succeed or not, you won't risk your life too easily. The whole family's hopes are pinned on you, and it's not worth losing your life for a moment of anger!"
"I...understand that I will never disappoint my father!"
Gu Shan Bu Shui's timing was okay, but his identity was too troublesome.
In the Third Ninja World War, he didn't even get a role as a soy sauce, and because of Xiang Rin's unexpected origin, he missed the Nine-Tails Attack Village.
In the next one or two years, Uchiha Shisui's death, Uchiha Itachi's joining ANBU, and the Uchiha family's annihilation will occur one after another.
There is also Orochimaru's Oto Ninja Village. Tian Country is close to the northeast of Fire Country. The influence of the Furugi family is not small. The failure that Orochimaru looks down on is a rare good thing for Fushigi Bosui. .
