340 died
That night, the little one woke up a few more times, and strangely, once Sung Jung picked up the child, he stopped crying. Thanks to this, Huihu also slept peacefully, and by the time the sky was clear, Chengzheng was already very familiar with the child.
After Huihu woke up, she saw that the child was not crying or making trouble in Cheng Zheng's arms, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she only looked at it for a while, and she couldn't help but snatch the swaddling clothes from Cheng Zheng's hands, and seemed to be especially fond of babies.
"I'm going to get someone to prepare breakfast."
Cheng Zheng just saw that Huihu loved the child unusually much, and was so attached to it that he almost didn't want to let go, although he was a little strange in his heart, he didn't think much about it, and stood up and retreated from the door.
The sky in the east has revealed the white belly of the fish, and Sasa Chengmasa's stomach also growled, although he looked a little tired, he was still as neat and crisp as before, and the smooth production of Uesugi Huihu actually made him change his worries for days, and let out a smirk from time to time.
His funny appearance also seems to affect the direction of the wind in Hojo Castle and makes people optimistic.
In the next half month, one after another, colleagues who had a good relationship with Cheng Zheng came to visit in private, and in addition to congratulating Cheng Zheng and Ayahime on their noble son, they also had the meaning of temptation.
Temptation of what?
Sasa Narumasa naturally knows that if this child can grow up healthily, he will almost be the heir of the Uesugi family.
Not only because this child is ostensibly Ayahime's son, but more importantly, he is the blood and blood of Sister Uesugi!
The words of the Echigo lords were full of information to please the "young lord of the Uesugi family", and Seimasa neither rushed to admit nor deny this, and this ambiguous attitude undoubtedly made everyone more enthusiastic about it.
- It would be a great honor to be able to serve as the teacher or hindsight of the "young master of the Uesugi family".
In addition to receiving guests, the rest of the time Chengzheng is mainly spent with Sister Uesugi and their son, these days, Sister Uesugi almost does not leave the ground with the child, to use an ancient metaphor, it is called holding it in its mouth for fear of melting, and holding it in her hand for fear of losing it.
Even Sasa Naruma didn't understand that she, who had always shown her strong face, would dot on her like a child.
Uesugi Terutora looked at the child's eyes, as if he was looking at the last glance with affection and doting.
Sasa Narumasa even thought of his son's name, the nickname is called Kiheiji, and the daimyo Uesugi Keikatsu can be after the Yuan service.
Half a month after the child was born, Sister Uesugi suddenly asked Narumasa to call Kanetoyo Higuchi over.
Although Narumasa was a little strange, he still listened to her advice, brought in Kanetoyo and his wife, and dispersed the maids and ninjas according to Uesugi Sister's wishes.
In one of Honmaru's rooms, Uesugi and Kanetoyo sit opposite each other, while Grow Sits on the left back side of Uesugi in the posture of a squire.
In the daimyo's family, even if the status of the lady is very high, it is impossible to be higher than the daimyo himself, so in the eyes of Kanetoyo, the seats of Sasa Naimasa and "Ayahime" are obviously reversed.
"Don't be surprised, I'm Uesugi Teruto."
Sister Uesugi solved Kanetohiro's doubts with a word, although she was not wearing military equipment at this time, nor did she wear the commonly used Xiaodou Changguang, but just a word, a look, made Kanetoyo can't help but lower his head and dare not face her face, the faint coercion in the seemingly breezy words made Kanetoyo even more sure that the woman in front of him was indeed Uesugi Huihu.
"Your Highness!"
He prostrated himself almost reflexively, without thinking about the significance of Uesugi Teruto's appearance in Hojo Castle, and his wife, Naoe Keitsuna's sister, did not understand why her husband was overly respectful to Lady Ayahime, but immediately bowed down, and her husband sang with her.
What is Uesugi going to do?
Sasa Naruma wondered, why did she suddenly use Seimasa's identity to summon Higuchi Kanetoyo, which is already a suspicion in itself, but after summoning Kanetoyo into the city, she came to see him with her true face, Uesugi Terutoka, this is the second suspicion, plus although Higuchi Kanetoyo is famous in the Ueda area, it is far from the extent that Huihu is familiar with him, why does Sister Uesugi want to see him by name, or see the two of them?
These three questions made Sazo Chengzheng tear up his sister, and Sister Uesugi seemed to have already made a decision, and she didn't give Chengzheng any room for negotiation at all.
"Kanefeng, I heard that you don't have an heir, do you?"
"Huh? As His Highness said. ”
Jian Feng was obviously stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a second, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Huihu's face, but he couldn't help but ask in his heart, what does His Highness want to do?
The wife who knelt behind Jian Feng turned pale, and she guessed Huihu's thoughts in her heart.
His Royal Highness simply called the couple to Hojo Castle, and asked about the heir, didn't he feel that he couldn't have a child, and wanted Kanetoyo to divorce his wife.
She was originally the younger sister of Naoe Jinggang, and marrying Kanethiro Higuchi can be said to have exalted the Higuchi family, but now that Uesugi Teruhu is speaking, even if she is Naoe Jinggang's mother, it will not help.
"The people's daughter knows that she is wrong, please deal with it with His Highness, and the people's daughter will not dare to disobey."
Although she likes Kanetoyo Higuchi very much in her heart, she also knows that it is impossible to disobey Huihu's thoughts, and if she is disobedient, she may even affect the Naoe family......
"What did you do wrong?"
Huihu's face showed a puzzled color.
"I ...... I've been married to Kanetoyo-sama for more than three years, but I can't give birth to a son-in-law to the Higuchi family, I'm ...... Your Highness, I really didn't mean to......"
Kanetoyo's wife, Rao, has seen a lot of time and can't hold herself in front of Uesugi Teruto, so she soon cried.
Strangely, there was still no blaming look on Huihu's face, she was just extremely doting and reluctant to look at the baby in her arms, and only looked up for a long time and said:
"This is my son with Baga Chengzheng, but I don't have a chance to raise him...... Let him be your son. ”
Huihu's words were amazing, and he couldn't help but make the Higuchi Kanetoyo couple stunned on the spot, and even made Sazo Chengzheng scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
That's not how it shouldn't be!
After all, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng reacted a little faster, and immediately grabbed one of Hui Hu's hands and asked:
"Why? Why not him? Isn't he your child! ”
There was a sudden anger in Chengzheng's voice, and he understood why Uesugi Teruhu always looked at the child with that last look, it turned out that she had already decided to throw away their flesh and blood! Even if it is a completely strange baby, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng will not stand idly by, not to mention that this is his own son, how can Chengzheng endure such a parting?
"I can't have children, don't you know!"
Huihu shook off Cheng Zheng vigorously, her arm was still faintly painful, and she also said angrily:
"I'm Uesugi Teruto! Serving King Bishamen and Echigo all my life, I will not be able to get married, let alone have children! ”
Although these two sentences are short, they are loud and deafening. On the other end of the room, Mr. and Mrs. Kanetyo Higuchi, in the midst of the surprise, finally understood Uesugi Teruto's intentions.
- Since she and Sasa Naruma's child can't be made public, she let this child join the Higuchi family.
It's not so much about abandoning the child as it is about protecting him.
Sazuo Chengzheng still said unwillingly:
"Aren't you pretending to be Ayahime these days, just say to the outside that you're Ayahime's child!"
"What do you think of my sister!"
Staring at Huihu's cheeks, which had turned red from anger, Sazuo Chengzheng was speechless for a while, speechless to respond. (To be continued.) )
