The place they came to was the ancestral hall of the Chu family.

She comes every year when she worships her ancestors, but now that she steps in again, she has a different feeling.

The ancestral hall is very well repaired, under the red hanging cloth is the spiritual position placed according to the generation, and there are all kinds of fresh fruit offerings, and the incense burner is inserted with cigarette butts, but there is no trace of dust and soot falling, and it is cleaned spotlessly.

Master Chu folded his palms, bent down and said respectfully: "The junior Chu Zongzheng, together with the little daughter Chu Xuan, came to visit the ancestors of the Chu family. ”

After a few seconds, he straightened up, looked at Chu Xuan, and motioned to the worship mat placed in front of the spiritual seat, "Xuan'er, kneel down and kowtow to our Chu family ancestors." ”

Chu Xuan nodded, she stepped forward and knelt on the worship mat, put the sword beside her, and respectfully bowed three times and nine knocks.

There is nothing more serious than worshipping ancestors.

Although she is not Chu Xuan of this era in essence, she also has respect for the ancestral spiritual position placed in the ancestral hall of the Chu family, because it is the root of her identity in this world.

When Master Chu was kowtowing to Chu Xuan, he walked forward to the red desk, and placed a long black box under the spiritual seat, he raised his hand and rubbed it, his eyes showed complex emotions, and finally turned into calm.

Taishi Chu raised his eyes, looked around at the names of the ancestors of the Chu family one by one, and if he looked carefully, he could still see tears flashing in his deep eyes that were full of old fox calculations on weekdays, and said in a long tone: "Zongzheng is guilty of failing to regain the position that our Chu family should hold." I'm also old and don't have many years to live. The eldest son, Chu Zhong, died on the battlefield and has taken all the military power into the hands of our Chu family. Although the second son Chu Bo was sick and weak, he inherited the Chu family's ability to strategize the world. Fortunately, there is a little girl, Chu Xuan, although she is a woman, she is the best candidate to rebuild my Chu family. Now the future generation Chu Zongzheng officially handed over the seal of the Chu family to the little daughter Chu Xuan, hoping to take the Chu family as the priority and regain his position. ”

He spoke unhurriedly, but more like a ritual, because his tone was full of solemnity.

Chu Xuan looked up at him when he heard this, and said with a pout; "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

The seal of the Chu family is equivalent to being able to order all the forces of the Chu family, and those who do not obey will be killed.

"Xuan'er, Daddy is old, in the troubled times, whoever dominates the ups and downs depends on your brothers and sisters." Master Chu hugged the black box, and his generous hand was on Chu Xuan's head, in the eyes of the people of Qi, the Taishi who leaned towards the government and the opposition was just a simple person with heavy fatherly love at the moment.

"I know that you once wanted to gallop on the battlefield with your eldest brother, and I know that you have said that women are not as good as men, and in the face of this troubled world, you have the ambition to make a career. But I won't let you go to the battlefield, and I won't let you disguise yourself as a man to enter the officialdom, but I know why. ”

Chu Xuan quietly looked at his father, who was already old and had gray sideburns, pursed his lips, and said, "The time has not yet come." ”

"Yes." Master Chu smiled appreciatively, he raised his eyes to look at the big tree in front of the door, and at this moment he did not hide his ambition and goal at all.

"There are many dynasties, and there are heroes in troubled times. What we want is to support the world, not to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”

His Chu family regained the throne, even if he stepped on the bones of thousands of corpses under his feet, he would be admired by the world.

Chu Xuan lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, and finally didn't ask too clearly, she was still kneeling, her waist was straight, her eyes were firm, and she said generously and forcefully: "My daughter understands." The Chu family wants a savior, not a chaotic master. ”

The difference between the two is key to the emperor's power and to the records of later generations.

Taishi Chu became more and more relieved when he heard this, he handed down the black box with both hands, and said solemnly: "Xuan'er, my father will hand over the black box to you now, how to use the arrangement, from now on it will be up to you to decide." ”

Chu Xuan looked at it for a few seconds, and didn't take it immediately, but asked, "Dad, why did you decide to hand it over to your daughter instead of doing it yourself." ”

She could see that her father still had a little regret that his ambition had not been rewarded.

But his father's body is still strong, and it is also his father's credit that the Chu family can have now, and it is up to him to do things, and the people under him are also convinced, and they get twice the result with half the effort.

There was some nostalgia in Taishi Chu's eyes, but he only said: "Because of an agreement, I swore for my father that I couldn't move Qi Xingxiu." But my daughter, totally can. ”

That person didn't underestimate him Chu Zongzheng, and agreed that it was the most useless waste paper for the dead, and he took a step back and said that he couldn't do it himself, but there were successors who could do the same.

"My daughter will live up to her mission." Seeing this, Chu Xuan didn't ask any more questions, she raised her hands and respectfully took the black box.

can make his father not cross the river and tear down the bridge, rarely abide by the agreement, and think that person occupies a special place in his heart.

Although she was curious, her father didn't take the initiative to say anything, no matter how anyone asked, he wouldn't say a word.

Master Chu smiled heartily: "The taste of a heavy responsibility on your shoulders is to move forward with a heavy load, Xuan'er don't hate her father's selfishness." ”

He shoulders the heavy responsibility of reviewing the Chu family, from living to glamorous, he has always walked in front and carried a heavy load, and naturally knows the pain under the pressure of this responsibility.

But he is not young anymore, what the Chu family wants is not a moment of glory, but a generational honor, so he needs to put down his power and devote himself to cultivating future generations.

"Father, you're serious." Chu Xuan was a little helpless, but there was a smile on his eyebrows.

Master Chu just smiled and didn't say anything, then waved his sleeves and left, leaving Chu Xuan who was looking at the black box in a daze.

Back in the quiet study, Taishi Chu stared at a landscape painting on the wall and was silent for a long time.

After a while, he spoke up: "I hand over the power to Xuan'er, and Bo'er can complain." ”

As soon as these words came out, I noticed that Jiang Han was standing behind Master Chu at some point, and the gentle and elegant man who was sitting in a wheelchair was like a green mountain and a breeze, as bright as the moon and stars, and the night was Chu Bo, the second son of the Chu family. Boer knows how capable he is, and he has a little strategy, but it is difficult to lead the crowd. ”

Among their three siblings, the younger sister can be both civil and military, although she is a woman, but her natural momentum is also the most like her father.

The Chu family is secret, and he and his eldest brother have always known about it. The eldest brother desperately tried to get that thing back and died, and he knew it.

Chu Bo fell into self-blame during this time, his father was too tired to take on the responsibility of the Chu family for a lifetime, and many times he had more than enough but not enough strength, and the death of the eldest brother was a heavy blow to his father, wouldn't the future of their Chu family be buried in the hands of their brothers?

Now that Xiaomei can take over this important task, it is too late for him to be happy, so how can he have different intentions.

Master Chu has always been very proud of his three children, turned around and said with a smile: "Xuan'er has something that can't be taken care of alone, you must be an assistant." ”

As for the adopted daughter who rebelled after entering the palace, it doesn't matter if she doesn't mention it, she was just a chess piece.

The situation is set, and the chess pieces are useless.

Chu Bo nodded: "Yes, the child knows." ”

Master Chu turned to look at Jiang Han: "You pass the order, and you will have full authority to obey Yu Xuan'er alone in the future." ”

Jiang Han hesitated a little: "Taishi, Miss she..."

Taishi's decision is too unbelievable, although the young lady is capable, but if she wants to serve the public at a young age, almost no one in the Chu family army will agree.

For them who have endured humiliation all their lives, this is simply child's play.

Taishi Chu didn't pay attention to it at all: "To what extent she can do it, that's a matter of her strength, and this is also a test of your auxiliary ability." ”

Jiang Han: "···"

Such irresponsible words really came from the mouth of the Taishi?

But it was undeniable that he had rarely seen Taishi have such a relaxed smile.

Perhaps, he should have something to look forward to.
