Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 437

This matter involves two groups of four officials.

More importantly, one of them is his son-in-law.

How could Fujiwara Daichi possibly get involved?

Changlong himself still showed little personal emotion.

"Lord Lai Guang has only recently taken over the position of clan leader, so his younger brother, who shares the same mother, is naturally receiving a lot of attention."

"If the problem is not handled well, the reputation will likely continue to decline in the future."

Changhe couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"In particular, due to Mr. Yan'an's advanced age, it is not convenient to deal with the problem seriously."

"This makes Lord Raihei's handling of the situation even more anticipated..."

Fujiwara Daichi was slightly taken aback when he heard his two younger brothers' explanation.

So the main focus of the matter was actually on Minamoto no Yorihei?

Suddenly, Masahiro looked at his elder brother, Fujiwara Daichi.

"Big brother."

Is there anything I should be aware of?

"I remember that Chika and Lord Yan'an's only daughter are friends."

"Don't worry, I'll have Fengshi remind Qianhua about this."

"No, there's no need to specifically remind her. Just be a little careful; perhaps Chika hasn't received the news yet."

Changlong shook his head at his elder brother again.

Through Fengshi, he basically understood that Qianhua was in good condition at the moment.

He often played games with Kousaka Kyosuke's other wives and concubines in the mansion.

Therefore, it is very unlikely that they will pay attention to what is happening outside.

Furthermore, it was only after meeting Hayasaka Masato that they learned the Shinomiya family was the "scandalous figures" of the past two days.

Moreover, there's Chika, the niece who's already married and usually only stays at the mansion.

Thinking of Chika, Changlong unconsciously thought of his two adopted daughters—Fengshi and Mengye.

He now understands that Kyosuke Kosaka probably doesn't have much prejudice against their family.

Some of the young men were assigned to work in the Water Department, which was no different from a territory.

However, after careful consideration, Shogo ultimately went with the decision he had made earlier.

"When I apologized back then, I did mention that I wanted either Toyomi or Moeha to marry Lord Kyosuke."

"If this matter is left unresolved, it would truly make Lord Kyosuke doubt my integrity."

"Furthermore, what Toyoshi and Moeha think of me is also very important; I'm still their uncle..."

I have many thoughts.

Changlong then thought of the marriage arrangements for his two adopted daughters.

From a rational perspective.

One of their adopted daughters should be married to Kyosuke Kousaka.

Marrying another nobleman of roughly the same status would be more beneficial to the family.

However, Changlong was well aware of the consequences of doing so.

Therefore, he didn't dwell on it too much.

In short, let's both marry Kyosuke Kousaka.

Otherwise, he would definitely be complained about or even hated by his own uncle and godfather.

"Brother, any woman who interferes in matters other than housework will be considered arrogant and lacking in manners."

Changhe couldn't help but say one more thing in the end.

My niece, Chika, is doing well now.

But he was still extremely worried!

"Haha, I understand... I'll let Toyoshi handle it," Fujiwara Daichi said awkwardly.

The incident involving Qianhua had caused him to be looked down upon by many within his family.

Of course, it was just a roll of the eyes.

After all, they are all relatives connected by blood and have a real family relationship.

"Actually, in most people's eyes, it's just a joke about mocking outsiders."

Changlong then offered a more insightful comment.

Even the cautious Changhe couldn't help but add:

“But for Lord Raiping, this is very important. It could significantly influence how most nobles will perceive him in the future.”

Either a mule or a horse came out for a ride.

What kind of first impression does the relatively unknown Minamoto no Yorihei give people these days?

Then we'll have to see how Minamoto no Yorihei handles things.

be honest.

Changhe discovered that a major difficulty lay in the fact that Shigong Yan'an was an elderly woman in her seventies.

Ultimately, the responsibility lies with Shinomiya Yanan's eldest son.

Minamoto no Yorihira would certainly not be overly critical of Shinomiya Gan'an.

If we were to do that, the elderly people in the court who often need to be helped by servants to get to work would have objections!

Changhe, who works in the palace, knows very well how many elderly people occasionally visit other official residences within the palace.

These elderly people did not want to resign.

He would always drag his frail and elderly body to the palace offices to make his presence known.

Changhe had to take care of them almost every day, fearing that they might fall and cause a tragedy.

Most of the elderly people were sensible and quietly occupied their official positions, rarely causing trouble for anyone.

Everyone tacitly ignored it.

However, if Minamoto no Yorihira mishandles the situation at Shinomiya Gan'an, it could very well lead to a mass uprising by the elderly.

It's really tricky.

Similarly, Changlong understands this principle just like Changhe.

He did, after all, frequently enter and leave the palace.

How could they not know the situation of the elderly people who went to work in the palace?

"What is certain is that Lord Laiqin will never have any goodwill towards Lord Yan'an."

Changlong said with certainty.

Hearing his two younger brothers' insightful analysis, Fujiwara Daichi finally felt a pang of regret.

"Sigh... I can only say that Huang Guang was too hasty."

I thought it would be a difficult problem, but it turned out to be a huge pitfall.

He was more worried about whether Chika would find out about this, so he pleaded with Kousaka Kyosuke.

After careful consideration, Fujiwara Daichi decided that it was unlikely.

Afterwards, the Shinomiya family was at most in a worse situation.

I believe my second daughter is quite sensible in this regard.

However, to be on the safe side, let the eldest daughter handle it.

By the way.

Fujiwara Daichi was also aware of his younger brother Masataka's handling of his two daughters' marriages.

After some hesitation, he still agreed to let his remaining two daughters marry Kousaka Kyosuke.

Ultimately, Kyosuke Kousaka is indeed a very good husband candidate.

In this era, you probably can't find anyone better than him.

In addition, his two daughters also favored Kyosuke Kousaka.

Fujiwara Daichi had absolutely no objections.

The attitude towards the Shinomiya family has been basically determined.

Changlong, who was in charge, immediately spoke up.

"Then let's go."
