It’s very easy to fill in next time

One Hundred and Sixty Seven

Beichen Guidie sat in the car, looking at the world on both sides of the road, just like watching flowers on horseback.

Her previous world was very narrow.

At home, school, and inside the car, these few spaces constitute the entire life circle.

She knows a lot of people, but not too many. She has a good memory. Although she can remember the faces, identities, and names of many people, what is more memorable is the interests that are entangled in this group of people.

Beichen’s family is a famous family, and Beichen Yidaoliu is a first-class swordsmanship school in Edo. Centipedes are dead but not stiff. Moreover, although it has declined a little, it still has a wide network of people.

The Beichen family doesn’t lack anything. In the final analysis, what they lack is a swordsman.

Just like today’s shogunate, as long as the shogunate is still a high-ranking heroic spirit, the sky will not fall.

In the past fifty years, the closest to this realm is her mother, Bei Chenhua.

It’s a pity that the Beichen family has not produced a genius with swordsmanship in the last two or three generations. They can only rely on Beichen Xuanma’s long-sleeved and good at dancing to communicate frequently and maintain the existence of the Beichen family. His talent may have already stood at a height beyond her reach, so the current Beichen family does not need his father to work so hard to maintain it.

Came to the cemetery.

The Beichen family’s cemetery is a private land, where the tombstones of the past ancestors are enshrined.

She came to a relatively new tombstone, where her father, Beichen Xuanma, was already waiting.

Father stood silently in front of the tombstone, motionless like a piece of sculpture, immersed in the memories of the past, reached out several times to touch the words on the tombstone, but finally withdrew his right hand timidly.

Beichen Guidie approached, and Beichen Xuanma noticed his daughter approaching. After a brief trance, he put away all his expressions, put his emotions in order, and kept his expression calm: “Come and burn incense sticks for your mother.”

He looked at Gui Die’s well-behaved, as if yesterday was his wife’s funeral. When he came here for the first time, his daughter knelt in front of the tombstone and wept uncontrollably. She hugged her knees and huddled into a small ball.

In the blink of an eye, a few years later, my wife’s face was blurred in my memory, and my daughter was about to catch up with me unknowingly, and she was no longer a helpless girl squatting on the ground hugging her knees and crying, but had gradually grown into a The slim and graceful daughter of the samurai family.

Looking at his wife’s tombstone, Beichen Xuanma felt guilty, sad and sighed in his heart.

… It is very difficult to raise a child alone.

… Gui Die is still a girl, and the older she gets, the harder it is to guess her thoughts.

…Did I raise her properly?

A single old father is absolutely hard at home education. Being a father for the first time, he doesn’t know anything and knows nothing. Maybe he will know what to do after he has a granddaughter or grandson.

The intergenerational relationship is also because of the second acquaintance.

Beichen Xuanma does not resist Gui Die getting married earlier, unlike those fathers who wish to engrave ghosts on their foreheads, his love for his daughter is deep and restrained, so he will not increase the threshold for his daughter’s love, but will Strong support… He and his wife married in free love. Naturally, they understand the importance of emotional foundation to marriage, and they don’t think that ‘a son-in-law is rubbish’. He himself is the son-in-law who stepped in the door.

It’s just that my daughter has been covering it up until now, and she refuses to explain the situation clearly. At least she brought the handsome piggy outside and let me, the old pig, Bajie, take a look.

“Father, what are you thinking about?” Beichen Guidie had already finished worshiping, noticed Beichen Xuanma’s subtle expression, and couldn’t help asking.

“It’s nothing.” Beichen Xuanma came back to his senses: “I just think about when I can hug my grandson.”

Gui Die blushed, and immediately said, “What are you talking about in front of mother?”

“It’s because I said that in front of Hua.” Xuan Ma patted his forehead: “The family is really small, and it’s deserted. It’s a good thing to have more people. If it wasn’t for your mother’s refusal to have a second child, You should have a sibling by now.”

Beichen Guidie doesn’t want to get entangled in this kind of problem. She is still young, twenty years old, and she is not in a hurry to get married.

But Beichen Xuanma still wanted to insinuate, and asked several questions in succession.

“How is the situation recently?”

“It’s going well? Is your expression not going well?”

“You have to work hard. Patience is also very important, but patience often brings emotion. What love needs is sparks like beeps…”

Beichen Guidie had never felt his father nagging him so much before.

She is ashamed to speak out about her personal feelings, but she doesn’t really hate this kind of nagging in her heart.

But when her father started to come up with bad ideas, she couldn’t hold back anymore, and immediately couldn’t help but interrupt.

At this time, the old driver, who had been serving as the background board, spoke up. He was the old housekeeper of Beichen’s family.

“Patriarch, miss… Excuse me.” The old housekeeper reported, “Come to visit from the branch.”

Beichen Xuanma’s complexion changed, and he cursed: “These vultures, it’s only been a few days since the last time they were sent away. Today is the anniversary of my deceased wife’s death, so I can’t wait!”

He waved his sleevesScolded: “No, let them go!”

The old housekeeper continued, “The elders are here too.”

Beichen Xuanma’s face became even uglier.

The elders are the older generation of Beichen’s family. Many people can gain status as long as they have seniority. Respect for the elderly is a major feature of class society. The longer they live, the more they have the right to speak.

Beichen Xuanma is the head of the family, and most matters can be resolved with one word, but the Beichen family is too big, the main family is in Edo, and there are many branch families in other places. They will definitely stand on the same front with the main family. The Beichen family is declining day by day. From the perspective of the branch family, it is actually the inaction of the main family’s direct line. As a branch family, they are equivalent to the main family’s courtiers, so they naturally need to appeal.

The Beichen Xuanma Committee really didn’t want to talk nonsense with this group of people.

Their idea is very simple, that is to find a powerful family to marry. It is best if the man is willing to marry. If he can’t marry, marry Beichen Guidie, and then adopt one from the split family to inherit the head of the Edo family.

Beichen Xuanma can be reborn, but he is a married man, even if he remarries and regenerates, the child cannot inherit the master’s family.

Regarding their abacus, Beichen Xuanma knew a lot about it, and he sneered in his heart. On the surface, it was just all kinds of prevarications to delay time.

On weekdays, you can spend a little time shaming and playing Tai Chi, Ma Dongmei and Sun Honglei, who can’t?

But what day is it today?

Beichen Xuanma couldn’t help the veins on his arms popping up, wishing he could beat the group of people out with his wooden knife.

The people who separated the family deliberately chose to come today, they must have wanted to use Bei Chenhua’s name to put pressure on the main family, but instead they seriously angered Beichen Xuanma, because if Bei Chenhua was still alive, it was absolutely impossible for Bei Chenhua to choose to let his daughter go. Marriage, as long as she is ignorant, it’s fine, but since she already has her own opinion, it is absolutely impossible to obliterate her freedom of choice.

“Let them give it to me…” Beichen Xuanma squeezed the words through his teeth.

“Let them in.” Beichen Guidie said proactively.

Facing the surprised eyes of the housekeeper and her father, she repeated: “Let them come in. Since they are the elders and separated from the family, how can they be driven out? They have to be entertained, and they came at the right time. witness.”

Beichen Xuanma frowned: “You have to think about it…”

Gui Die smiled confidently: “Please rest assured, I will not do anything out of the ordinary, I have long wanted to take the initiative to meet them, I have been hiding before because of lack of self-confidence, but now, my self-confidence has inflated. ”

She looked at the tombstone.

“If my mother is alive, she will definitely support me…”

“I still remember my mother’s motto very clearly.”

“I can’t bear it anymore, I don’t need to bear it anymore.”

She walked all the way down the path paved with rocks. Beichen Xuanma’s eyes were blurred by her back view. He almost thought he had misread it. This back view…

“It really looks like it.” The old man the driver murmured, for a moment he thought it was the eldest lady who had returned, and the back was so similar.

Beichen Xuanma rubbed the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, and the flowers in front of the tombstone wafted the refreshing fragrance of white plums.

“Hua, my daughter has grown up… Maybe we will see each other soon.”

…

Ten minutes later, half a minute of noise erupted in the waiting room.

“Miss, what are you messing around with?”

“It’s unreasonable, it’s unreasonable! Little girl, you have no respect!”

“You’re carrying a real knife. Is this the attitude of speaking well! How could the Beichen family entrust a girl like you to take the helm!”

Cursing, scolding, disappointment, all kinds of emotions mixed with abuse filled the entire room.

Beichen Guidie got up calmly, instead of maintaining a kneeling posture, she stood up and looked down at the group of elders and people who came from separated families.

“Not convinced?”

“Can!”

“According to the tradition of Beichen’s family, you can immediately summon your disciples to conduct assessment trials! I will hit ten…no, one hundred!”

“As long as I win the exemption today, you must also admit that I, Beichen Guidie, will be the next Patriarch of Beichen!”
