Naming, for ordinary people, may just be the blessing and expectation of parents for their children, but for the son of a martial family, it is very likely to be a judgment on the fate of his life.

is different from the unique culture of avoidance of the Han family, just because of the homophony, even such a major event as the rise and fall of a clan like the imperial examination does not participate! In samurai families, it is common for the head of the family to bestow a character in his name on an important person in the clan or a loyal retainer as a sign of closeness. The head of the family took pleasure in giving secrets, and the retainers also took pride in gaining secrets, which even became a means of reward for the samurai.

Perhaps because of this, most of the samurai, especially those with a long family tradition, have two-character names. Among them, the character that has been passed down from generation to generation in the samurai family is called Tongshu, and the other character that is used as a distinction is called Biji. Most of the retainers are biased, and the generations that are loyal and brave and have a similar bloodline to the main family may also be restricted, but the retainers have no inheritance rights and are not strictly kept.

As for the condemnation within the martial family, it is much stricter, usually only the son-in-law or even the heir of the head of the family can be restricted, and most of the others are only the partiality of their father and brother. Therefore, Nana's question is very particular, she is testing whether Matsugami Yoshimitsu intends to let her child inherit the family business, of course, it is very likely that Nana, who is the mother of Yoshimitsu's eldest son, also appealed to him in advance.

In fact, in the turbulent times of the Warring States Period, the elders and young have long become an anachronistic false courtesy, and most of the current martial artists choose the food chain law of the capable first for the survival of the family business. Matsugami Yoshimitsu is not the kind of person who pays attention to false etiquette, and he does not need to use this kind of false etiquette to flaunt his family name and family character. To be honest, Matsugami Yoshimitsu doesn't mind which son he chooses to be the heir, but not minding doesn't mean that he is willing to make a big trouble for himself early.

If the son born to Nana is made a successor too early, then in the future, some retainers will definitely gather around this child, not to mention anything else, at least the Saigo faction will gather more closely around Nana. In this case, unless Matsugami Yoshimitsu does not change his mind in the future, then there will definitely be riots in Matsumoto Castle before and after his death, which Matsugami Yoshimitsu will never want to see.

If Nana was just an ordinary concubine, then Matsugami Yoshimitsu would definitely reprimand her fiercely at this time, this kind of thing that embarrassed the head of the family was not something that the side room was qualified to discuss. No! If she was just an ordinary concubine, she would never have the guts to offend the head of the house like this, but Nana is not an ordinary side room.

On the one hand, in the absence of Matsugami Yoshimitsu's wife, Nana actually holds the real power that only the main room has to some extent, and as the main room, in the tradition of the samurai, she has the right to participate in politics; On the other hand, Matsugami Yoshimitsu's current legal system for the old Shenmu clan is a reward from the Matsukami family, but it will not be the shadow of the Shenmu family's son-in-law, even though the Shenmu family died at his own hands.

What's more, as an important force of the current retainers under Matsugami Yoshimitsu, the Saigo faction from the former retainers of Shenmu is naturally close to Nana and her last child. This is not only because of the kindness of the old master, but also because of their own interests in the future, so unless there is an overwhelming trend in Matsumoto Castle in the future, the Saigo faction is definitely the firm backing of Nana's family, which is what Matsugami Yoshimitsu is distressed and cannot change.

Because of this distress, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was silent for a while, and suddenly pointed to Mrs. Nana's abdomen, as if to point to something, and said: "Speaking of which, Nana, the child in your womb is the only inheritance bloodline of the Shenmu family!"

"Your Highness!" Mrs. Nana's expectant face suddenly turned white, and even the look of anticipation on her face had not yet dissipated, and she finally remembered how she had become Matsugami Yoshimitsu's side room.

Although Matsugami Yoshimitsu has always regarded Mrs. Nana as a "normal" side room, she eventually married Matsugami Yoshimitsu as the daughter of the enemy. She is a captive, she is a reward, and at the same time, she can also be said to be a worthy feats of Matsugami Yoshimitsu to boast about.

Therefore, no matter how much Matsugami Yoshimitsu dotes on Nana, she is not a "normal" side room in terms of identity. Although Matsugami Yoshimitsu's retainers can allow their lord to marry the daughter of the enemy family to embellish their merits, they will not let the son born of Nana's status as the successor of the main family unless they have no choice, and even Nana's child will not even be allowed to become the pillar of the family.

This is all because there are still remnants of matriarchal society in the land of the Wa Kingdom, and although it has been thousands of years since the Dahua Reform, the Wa Kingdom still maintains the custom of valuing the mother over the father. In this Warring States world, due to the entanglement of interests, there are countless examples of the father marrying the daughter of the enemy family and becoming the enemy of the family under the banner of the grandfather. Therefore, the more grounded the martial arts retainers, the more they maintain the legitimate rights and interests, and the sons born of this "cheap concubine" are either sent to the weak family as heirs or are raised in the family temple to pray for the blessing of the family. This kind of thing can't be changed even if it's the head of the family, and everyone can't fight desperately for the main family and finally let the "enemy" liquidate themselves, there is no shortage of precedents for this kind of thing.

However, Matsugami Yoshimitsu's situation is different from other families, although he has been decorating his origins and family lines since the Ragimura period, insisting that he is a famous Shinshu family and a high-ranking Genji, but in the final analysis, Matsugami Yoshimitsu is just a lucky person who made his career as a commoner. His foundation is still too shallow, so Matsugami Yoshimitsu's backyard has not yet formed a so-called set of rules.

This is Mrs. Nana's luck, in fact, Mrs. Nana is in Matsumoto Castle to some extent when Matsugami Yoshimitsu does not have a main room. In addition, Matsugami Yoshimitsu's current strength is still somewhat insufficient, and the Saigo faction is still a powerful retainer in his hands, and Mrs. Nana, who has the support of the Saigo faction, is naturally full of confidence. But in the end, universal values exist, and Mrs. Nana finally remembered her embarrassing identity, so she showed great trepidation and uneasiness.

After a lost voice and shouted, Mrs. Nana hurriedly leaned over and touched the ground, not moving, not daring to say a word. After all, she is a smart woman, and the support of the Saigo faction did not make Mrs. Nana lose her mind, and she deeply understands that her fate is in the hands of Matsugami Yoshimitsu. Moreover, she knew very well that Matsugami Yoshimitsu was currently on the rise, and the role of the Saigo faction would become smaller and smaller in the future, or even become an obstacle, so Mrs. Nana used extreme obedience to save room.
