"If one day I go to the battlefield, they are the people I can rely on."
"The stronger they become, the more they can take care of me!"
Faced with Mrs. Hou's "house fighting" thinking, He Tiantian understood it, but she was still a little powerless.
Oh my god, when are you still engaging in "infighting"?
The Yu family has nothing left, only a few "leftovers" are left.
A truly smart person shouldn't try to make the plate as big as possible, and then, as a "hero", take away the largest part of the benefits.
What’s the point of trying to snatch that pile of scraps from someone else?!
"...I understand the reason!"
Mrs. Hou is not really stupid.
Her husband and her eldest son were both leaders of the Yu family.
I think back then, my husband and eldest son also took care of other heads of households, even those distant relatives of the Yu family.
Mrs. Hou occasionally complained, and the father and son also smiled and said: "They are all the second sons of the Yu family. They go to the battlefield. They are our most useful helpers."
It is better to leave your back to relatives of the same clan than to give it to stranger colleagues.
Especially the close relatives within the fifth server are the most trustworthy people on the battlefield.
Perhaps for women, the distinction between direct descendants and concubines is particularly clear.
But for men, no matter what the "out" is, it is their own seed.
He Tiantian is a woman herself, so she is particularly able to understand Mrs. Hou's tangled psychology.
However, this time He Tiantian dressed as a man, and he still had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the head of the family, so he couldn't use the same behavior as the inner house.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, not only in ancient times when concubinage was legal, even in modern times, illegitimate children also have legal inheritance rights.
Although He Tiantian feels that such a rule is unfair to the original spouse and legitimate children, it is a kind of protection for illegitimate children.
This is still the case in modern times, let alone in ancient times when heirs and family inheritance were valued.
As an heir whose responsibility is to lead the whole clan, He Tiantian must be fair and just and let go of the situation.
Cousins should be cared for, and brothers born from concubines should be treated equally.
Mrs. Hou:......
She understands the truth. If a concubine is well raised, he can still be a good helper to his own son.
Therefore, in these years, she has never treated Hachiro badly.
Even the concubine Qiniang was well educated.
She just couldn't give it in, especially her eldest son. When her second sons passed away one after another, she became a little leftist.
Fortunately, there is Kuro, and Kuro is so good.
Seeing Yu Er, Yu Si paid more and more attention to their own Jiulang, and Jiulang successfully won the respect of his peers by teaching everyone internal skills and mental techniques, and became the leader of this generation.
Mrs. Hou's inner resentment gradually diminished.
"That's all, it's up to you!"
He is just a concubine, he has given birth to a child, and he has grown to eleven or twelve years old. It is just a favor, maybe he can be "raised to maturity".
With Mrs. Hou thinking this way, she stopped entangled with her son.
However, she still reached out a little angrily and poked He Tiantian on the forehead——
"You little heartless thing, why are you so worried about me?"
The plan that I have been thinking about so much, my kid still hasn’t accepted it.
Mrs. Hou's motherly heart is a little uncomfortable after all.
He Tiantian knew that Mrs. Hou just complained casually, but the cheap mother-in-law was naturally "angry", and as a filial son, she naturally had to coax her out.
He Tiantian followed Mrs. Hou's force of poking her finger, tilted her head back, and then bounced back like a roly-poly.
"Auntie, I know! I know it all! You love me, but you're afraid that some people will be grown up and bite me in return."
"Don't worry, my son still has backup plans! Besides, do you think the Yu family's family rules are pretty?"
He Tiantian coaxed half-truthfully.
Her expression was very natural, and her eyes were full of admiration and respect for Mrs. Hou, her "mother".
He Tiantian did not perform. She recognized the idea that she was Yu Li from the bottom of her heart.
To be more precise, He Tiantian "hypnotized" herself from the moment she entered Dali Temple and started to fabricate this identity for her original body.
Therefore, her performance is natural and all her emotions are so real.
Mrs. Hou looked intently into He Tiantian's eyes, struggling again in her heart——
This child seems to be really my biological son.
Perhaps, the matter of the real and fake prince cannot be completely clarified.
However, Mrs. Hou could truly feel that Jiulang truly regarded her as his biological mother and the most important relative in his life!
Mrs. Hou's heart was deeply touched again.
"My son, whatever you want to do, just do it! My mother-in-law supports you!"
Reaching out to hold He Tiantian's cheek, Mrs. Hou said with great solemnity.
"Grandma, thank you! I knew you were the best to me!"
He Tiantian said movedly.
"You kid, are you so polite to me? You are the only one I have. If I can't be nice to you, who else can I be nice to?"
"Yuan Niang! In addition to being good to me, you are also very good to Yuan Niang!"
He Tiantian said in a deliberately coquettish way.
Mrs. Hou responded with the same expression as He Tiantian, "You are already an uncle, and you are jealous of your niece. Are you ashamed?"
"Not to mention being an uncle, even if I have a son or grandson, I am still a child in front of you!"
He Tiantian pouted and continued to talk to make Mrs. Hou happy.
"By the way, I heard that you bought some more things?"
The mother and son chatted for a while, and Mrs. Hou suddenly thought of something and asked quickly, "Is the money enough? I still have some gold cakes here!"
Mrs. Hou said and was about to get up to get money for He Tiantian.
He Tiantian hurriedly took Mrs. Hou's hand and said, "That's enough! Auntie, there's still some gold leaves left over from the gold leaves you gave me last time."
"By the way, I didn't buy anything, but hired some craftsmen."
Craftsmen these days are not considered technical talents, but humble untouchables.
Not only could he not make much money, but he was often dragged into military service by the government.
When the Yu family passed by a city, they happened to see a group of craftsmen helping to repair the official school.
He Tiantian thought that everything was lacking in the northwest, so she asked Yu San to go to the Yamen to inquire.
See if there are any craftsmen who have been exiled to the northwest, or if there are any craftsmen who are willing to go to the northwest to work.
Yu San has a smooth temperament, is eloquent, flexible and flexible, and is best at dealing with people.
He took a few gold leaves that He Tiantian stuffed to him, went to the government office for a tour, and then brought two craftsmen back.
He also obtained a list of craftsmen from several prefectures and counties in the state who had been exiled to the northwest in the past twenty years.
He Tiantian:......
So easy?
I thought it would take a lot of effort and a lot of money.
Tsk, it turns out that there are specialties in the art industry.
Yu San practiced martial arts and was not good at reading, but he was a natural master of household affairs.
As for her social skills and ability to do things, she is absolutely excellent.
Yu San clearly saw that in his little nephew's eyes, one had "Admiration" written on it and the other had "Admiration" written on it.
He immediately raised his chin proudly: You didn't expect it, your third uncle and I are not useless or cowards.
When it comes to dealing with people, your uncle and I have never been afraid of anyone!
Seeing Yu San's arrogant look, He Tiantian couldn't help laughing, "Uncle San, you are so awesome!"
As expected of the Yu family, they may not be as proud as the Yu family, but they are still the best talents in certain fields.
Yu San:...My nephew is complimenting me, right? Right? Right?!
Yu Er & Yu Si: ...The third brother (brother) is actually selfish and a bit weak, but his ability is still good.
Otherwise, they would not have been allowed to stay in the Hou Mansion all these years.
If he was really unbearable, the wife would separate the third bedroom without General Yu taking action.
Mrs. Tai valued Yu San's talent for taking care of general affairs, so she kept the third room in the Hou Mansion.
Only with Yu San helping to take care of the general affairs of the Hou Mansion, and with two generations of mistresses, including the Tai Fu and Mrs. Hou, presiding over the inner court, can the Yu family be stable in the capital.
Only General Yu, Yu Er and others can fight and operate in the northwest with confidence.
"Of course, there are no useless people in our Yu family!"
Yu San was even more proud.
Wulang Yuxing wanted to cover his face: Dear father, you can never be more modest.
However, Yu Xing still felt "honored" that his father was able to gain approval from his cousin.
We have traveled more than half of the road to exile, and a month has passed.
Yu Xing and other cousins gradually turned from being cautious and scrutinizing towards Yu Li, the newly returned cheap cousin, to admiration and admiration!
Yes, the new generations of the Yu family respect He Tiantian very much.
It doesn't matter if he's young, the key is that his little cousin is capable.
Shi He's "playing" at the beginning made all the cousins rejoice and admire him very much.
There is also the innate divine power that can only be found in legends, which makes the brothers of the "Zwilling" generation feel all kinds of envy and jealousy. Ahem, there is no hatred. They only regret that they cannot be the same as their younger cousins.
What impressed all the cousins the most was He Tiantian's unreserved teaching of martial arts and mental techniques.
"Ah An Jin! I actually also developed An Jin!"
The first time he felt the weak air current in his Dantian, Yu Xing was so excited that he ran around the yard.
No matter who they saw, they all cheered loudly, "Aniang! Uncle! Amei! Haha, I have developed my secret strength, and I can also hit acupoints from a distance like Jiulang!"
Everyone, including Yu San, couldn't help but twitch their foreheads when they saw Yu Xing's "crazy" appearance.
Yu San wanted to cover his face: ...This Wulang always finds me embarrassing, aren't you the same as me?!
Yu Xing: It’s definitely different! I’m a martial arts master now!
Even if I don't go to the northwest to fight, I can still walk around the world with my sword.
Of course, as the son of the Yu family, no matter how unreliable Yu Xing is, he will not be a knight-errant.
"Fight! I want to be a brave general like my grandfather and uncle."
Yu Xing secretly set a goal for himself in his heart.
In fact, it wasn't just him, even the elder Yu Che and others were "stimulated" by He Tiantian to have various ambitions.
He Tiantian felt the "passion" of her cousins, but it was not exciting enough. When she was about to arrive at her destination, she smiled and issued a challenge to everyone——
"Brothers, do you want to take a gamble?"
