The doubts and shock in Toshina's heart had not subsided, and Hao Ji began to recount the events and requests again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Actually, the reason why I want to ask my brother for help is because of Xiugao's marriage contract."

“…… Engagement? Xiugao ...... That kid is getting married? ”

Li Chang, who had not yet fully reacted, was stunned by this series of news.

Suddenly my sister told me that there was a secret behind the incident of the Uki family two years ago, and then abruptly told herself that her husband, Bizen Prime Minister Hideya and the children, were still alive, and finally hastily told her niece Hidetaka that she was suddenly going to get married?

Although the child must have reached that age...... But is it because of the marriage contract? Is there anything you need help with in the marriage process?

Li Chang calmed down and thought about it for a while, thinking that there was something wrong with some part of this niece's marriage contract?

"That, Ah Hao, although I don't know the situation very well, could it be that there was something wrong in Xiugao's marriage contract that made the marriage process unable to proceed?"

"Well, my brother guessed right. Before I go any further...... Let's let that kid meet your brother first. Xiugao, you don't have to bow your head. ”

In the surprised eyes of the rich, Hao Ji called out to Xiugao, who was pretending to be a maid behind him.

Hearing his mother's call, Xiu Gao no longer lowered his head to hide it, but stood up and walked slowly to his mother's side, facing the shocked face of Richa and smiling.

"Uncle, long time no see."

"Oh...... Oooooooo......oo Long time no see...... My niece. ”

For the niece who suddenly appeared in front of his eyes and had not seen him for many years, Li Chang's mood is difficult to describe with nostalgia, and it can only be said that it is ...... I was shocked.

The last time we met, it should be on this child's yuan costume ceremony.

Li Chang calculated, he and his niece Xiugao probably haven't seen each other for nearly ten years. Only his niece's face, which bears a slight resemblance to his sister Haoji, is a memory that he remembers vividly.

"Ah Hao...... I didn't expect you to bring the child with you......"

Li Chang was now embarrassed. It's not nostalgic, it's hard to get excited, only a hint of embarrassment.

"Yes, to make things clearer. Ah, Your Excellency Xiuzong also hurry up, you also need to show your face in front of your brother. ”

"Oh, oh!"

Hao Ji knew that her brother was a little embarrassed and shocked now, and she became a little embarrassed. But the same thing still has to be said, so she called Xiuzong over.

After a brief exchange of glances with Hidemitsu, Hidemune also got up, sat down in front of Richang, and bowed to him, introducing himself by the way.

"It's the first time I've heard of Prime Minister Kaga's name for a long time, and I've heard of it for a long time, and I'm called Date Hyogoro Hidemune, so it's really an honor to meet Prime Minister Kaga today."

When Xiuzong is nervous, he is prone to polite words.

Obviously in front of me, he is so bold that he doesn't need honorifics. Xiuguang almost laughed out loud when he looked at Xiuzong like this.

Date ...... Are you the eldest son of Mamoru Itachi? It seems to be the four men...... It's Toyotomi Hidemitsu-sama's attendant, right? ”

"Yes, yes, in the next place."

Toshicho hadn't met Hidemune, but he knew a lot about Hidemune's father, Masamune.

However, when Xiuguang's name was mentioned, many questions also arose in Lichang's heart.

Since His Excellency Hidemune has already appeared, does it mean that the affairs of the Uki family are related to that Hidemitsu-sama?

While making an assumption in his mind, he is constantly denying this assumption.

After all, the late Taiko's fourth son, Hidemitsu, is still a child, and it is said that the reputation inside Osaka Castle is not very good......

So, is it related to Hideyori-sama?

Rincho shifted the focus of his thinking to Hideyori.

But I can't find any memory of that Hideyori-sama doing such a thing. And he didn't think that the noble son, who looked like he had grown up in his mother's arms, would have the courage to make such a decision.

Li Chang touched the stubble on his chin with some distress, indicating that he couldn't think through the complex relationship here.

Xiuguang, who was secretly peeking at his expression from behind, seemed to know what he was thinking, and the corners of his mouth silently hooked an arc.

"Elder brother, His Excellency Xiuzong is the one who is engaged in Xiugao's marriage. In this way, the problems that arise in the marriage contract must be understandable to the elder brother, right? ”

Hao Ji then told her brother Li Chang about the marriage contract between the two. After frowning and staring, Li Chang thought of the answer to this question:

"Could it be a matter of identity?"

He looked at Xiugao, then at Xiuzong, and pointed his finger at the two,

"My niece Hidetaka can't expose her true identity to the world because of the Uki family's affairs, but His Excellency Hidemune, as an important minister of the Toyotomi family, can't be an unidentified person in his main room. So the contradiction comes out, right? ”

"Yes, my brother is really sharp."

Li Chang quickly guessed the problems in the marriage contract, which made Hao Ji admire him very much.

"In order to deal with this problem, I also came up with a way to round the issue of identity. It's up to me to adopt Xiugao as an adopted daughter, so there shouldn't be any big problems with my identity. But there are still problems. ”

"Hao, you...... Adopt your own biological daughter as an adopted daughter? …… Ah, I see. ”

The more you wrap around, the less likely it is to be suspected of having a problem. He quickly understood Haoji's intentions,

"Then the problem here is indeed the identity of the biological parents...... Right? ”

"Hmm. Although I can 'be' Xiugao's 'adoptive mother', if the identity of 'biological parents' cannot be resolved, it will also be doubted. ”

Identity is the most important issue in the whole process. If you can't pass this level, you won't be able to complete the rest of the story.

After listening to his sister's words, he began to think quietly again.

Her sister, Ho Ji, came here to ask for his help. The thing that needs help is the marriage contract between his niece Hidetaka and Date Hidemune of the Toyotomi family. And the most important problem in this problem is the need to create an identity for Xiugao, who is ostensibly deceased. Now that the identity of the "adoptive mother" Haoji is there, it is almost the identity of the father and the real mother......

Could it be ......

After being silent for a long time, Li Chang raised his head and asked:

"Does Ah Hao want me to be Xiugao's 'biological father'?"

His eyes were full of caution and seriousness, and at the same time, he was considering and scrutinizing all aspects of this matter in his mind.

The elder brother had already guessed what he wanted to ask for, so Haoji nodded, and then began to talk about the method of doing this:

"Change the birth year of Hidetaka, and you can be the illegitimate daughter of your elder brother when you were in Fushimi or Kyoto. The reason for passing on this 'illegitimate daughter' and Manhime to me is to maintain stability within the Maeda family. ”

As she said this, Hao Ji raised her head to look at her brother's face,

"In this way, it will be able to complete the field smoothly."

Under the flickering lights, Haoji's determined eyes and Li Chang's wavering mood were reflected.
