Yushan and Ren didn't think there was anything they couldn't see, as long as they weren't showering in the bathroom and had already taken off their clothes and someone suddenly rushed in and saw them all, Yushan and Ren didn't think there was a problem.
"you guys
This clan rule is a bit weird. "After thinking about it, Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
Hearing what Yushan Heren said, Yu Mingxue couldn't help but smile.
"This is our ancestral teaching, Lord Yushan, please forgive me."
"If you can't see my face, then why can you see me? I remember when you were a child, your grandfather brought you to see me, and your grandfather could also see me." Hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
"The regulations apply to the small clans, that is, the family branches, but the family head's lineage is not included in the regulations." Yu Mingxue said.
Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly. He didn't expect that this rule was so strict that it could even distinguish such a subtle difference.
"So, there are very few people in the family head's lineage now?" After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren asked.
Hearing this, Yu Mingxue was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Three years ago, my grandfather passed away, and I am the only one left in the family lineage."
"Sorry." Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly. He heard the sadness in Yu Mingxue's heart.
No matter how united the entire Yuming clan is, with only one young girl left in the family head's lineage, there are always many people who will have ideas.
Yu Mingxue still holds the status of heir to the family head, but she herself doesn't know how long she can keep this status.
In fact, she could feel that many people in the Yuming family were already ready to make a move.
Chapter 2498: Yuming Clan and Yu Clan
Yu Mingxue's parents died early. Not long after Yu Mingxue was born, they died in a plane crash that was not yet clear whether it was an accident or man-made.
At that time, Yu Mingxue's parents had planned to take the newly born Yu Mingxue to visit her grandparents' family.
But before leaving, Yu Mingxue's grandfather did some divination and concluded that it was not advisable to go out this time.
As a person born in the new era, Yu Mingxue's father has always been somewhat disapproving of his father's old-fashioned divination. He thought divination was a trick to fool children and insisted on going out.
Although Yu Mingxue's grandfather was a powerful figure in the Yu Ming family, he couldn't do much with his own son.
Firstly, he had a son in his old age, when he was almost fifty years old, he gave birth to Yu Mingxue's father, and he was a little bit indulgent towards his son.
Secondly, the other party has a somewhat prickly personality. If Yu Mingxue's grandfather forces the other party to do something, it will easily cause a backlash.
Finally, Yu Mingxue's grandfather compromised and let Yu Mingxue's parents take Yu Mingxue out. However, the day before departure, Yu Mingxue's grandfather used a little trick to make Yu Mingxue appear to have a fever.
After all, he had actually predicted the danger when the two of them went out this time.
Although divination and the like are now considered to be false, in many cases, they are just used to fool others through some ambiguous language traps.
However, Yu Ming's grandfather still felt that it was better to believe it than not to believe it, and it would not hurt to make some preparations.
If they really encountered danger, Yu Mingxue's parents are adults and can still move to avoid the danger, but Yu Mingxue is a baby less than three months old and has no ability to resist at all.
Her safety can only depend on her parents, and in some dangerous times, children, especially babies, may become a burden.
Yu Mingxue had a fever, so naturally she could no longer go with her parents to visit her grandparents.
It was not easy for Yu Mingxue's parents to change the itinerary. For one thing, they had already made an agreement with the other party and even had a full plan for where to go after they arrived.
Secondly, Yu Mingxue's father and Yu Mingxue's grandfather argued with each other to get this opportunity. If it is cancelled at this time, it would be a bit embarrassing.
In the end, Yu Mingxue's parents waited until Yu Mingxue's fever subsided a little and set off according to the original plan, while Yu Mingxue stayed in the Yu Ming clan's territory and was temporarily taken care of by Yu Mingxue's grandfather.
As a result, less than two hours after the two set off, Yu Ming received the bad news.
The thing that Yu Mingxue's grandfather regretted most in his life was the argument between him and his son.
If he had gone directly to Yu Mingxue after the divination and made Yu Mingxue appear to have some illusion of "fever", Yu Mingxue's parents would have given up the trip out of concern for their child.
It was because of his argument with Yu Mingxue's father that Yu Mingxue's father felt it was embarrassing to give up the trip, and finally chose to stick to the original plan.
Originally, they had planned to call home immediately after getting off the plane to inquire about Yu Mingxue's situation, but they didn't expect that they would never make this call.
This plane crash eventually became a mystery, and even the black box could not be found.
Because of this, Yu Ming’s grandfather became even more suspicious that this incident might have been deliberately designed by someone, and even the black box might have been taken away by someone afterwards.
However, because there was no information and the incident occurred in the high seas, even though Yu Ming had an amazing influence, he was unable to find any information at all.
……
After experiencing this incident, Yu Mingxue's grandfather seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
His originally strong body now looked much more hunched.
Although Yu Mingxue's grandfather still has the highest authority in the Yu Ming family, many people have also developed some different thoughts.
Normally, it would not be difficult for Yu Mingxue's grandfather to live to be a hundred years old. The Yu Ming family has always been long-lived. As the head of the family, they have the best resources and medical conditions, so it is normal for him to live over a hundred years.
However, having a child in old age and then seeing the young die was a heavy blow to Yu Mingxue's grandfather.
If Yu Mingxue had not stayed by his side, giving him some hope, he would have died of depression more than ten years ago.
It was after this incident that Yu Ming's grandfather made up his mind to contact the Yushan family again.
Originally, the Yuming clan and the Yushan clan had known that each other was in Japan for a long time, but they had basically no contact. After all, the relationship between the Yushan clan and the Yuming clan was just like the relationship between the Yuming clan and the Jianggu clan, the Zisang clan and other clans.
The Yuming clan chose to establish a branch in Japan, on the one hand because they did not want to put all their eggs in one basket, and on the other hand, they also planned to escape from the Yuyama clan, formerly the Yu clan.
However, as the situation developed, the Japanese side became the dominant clan, while the Yuming clan in the mainland was cut off. One can only sigh at the cruel fate.
When the Yuyama family gradually emerged in Japan, the Yuming family learned of their existence.
However, if Yu Ming wants to resume contact with the Yushan family, he still needs to overcome a lot of psychological pressure.
After all, the Yuming family is naturally inferior to the Yushan family.
In Japan, the Yuming family is truly a "hidden emperor". However, when they met the people of the Yushan family, they actually called them "Lord Yushan". This made the
Some members of the Yuming clan found it difficult to accept.
However, after experiencing this incident, Yu Mingxue's grandfather finally figured it out.
The Yuyama family has been in Japan for only a hundred years, which is not much longer than his own life, but as a result, the Yuyama family, which originally started from scratch, has developed to this level.
Its influence in Japan may not be able to compete with that of the Yuming family, but it is already very powerful, and in terms of global influence, it far exceeds that of the Yuming family.
Under such circumstances, it would not be shameful for Yu Ming to address him as "Lord Yushan".
What's more, Yu Mingxue is still so young, and Yu Mingxue's grandfather is also aware of his own situation. After being heartbroken, it may be difficult for him to protect Yu Mingxue for too long. The members of the family may not be reliable, so he has to find a big tree for Yu Mingxue to take shelter from the heat.
Therefore, the Yushan family was a little sad that they had not cried since they learned that Yushan Kazuto was born.
Yu Mingxue's grandfather personally visited Yushan's home and wrote a document to Yushan and others saying "You have a connection with snow".
This was considered as a way to save Yu Mingxue, but the strange thing was that "having a connection with snow" was actually divined directly by Yu Mingxue's grandfather.
If the hexagram had not been for "snow", the other party would not have written such a blunt comment, almost writing down his thoughts directly on the paper.
Chapter 2500: The Reason for the Disharmony
Different people actually have different understandings of the document "having a connection with snow".
For Yu Mingxue and Yu Mingxue's grandfather, they think that the phrase "having a connection with snow" most likely refers to Yu Mingxue.
Yu Mingxue is of similar age to Yushan Kazuto, and given the close relationship between the Yuming family and the Yushan family, it is natural that the two would make such an association and agree with it.
However, in the eyes of Yushan and his parents, the one who has a connection with snow is most likely referring to the Yukinoshita family.
Afterwards, Kazuto Hayama's parents took Kazuto Hayama to live with Yukinoshita for ten months, and only left after Yukinoshita Yukino was born. It was because of this situation.
However, later, Yushan Kazuto's parents confirmed that the snow that Yu Mingxue's grandfather was referring to was not the Yukinoshita family.
Since then, Mrs. Yukinoshita's attitude has become somewhat subtle.
Yayoi Hayama always thought that it was because of herself that the rift between the Hayama family and the Yukinoshita family arose, but in fact, there might be more other reasons.
But in the eyes of Yushan Kazuto himself, this so-called "fate with snow" is more like a joke.
He doesn't think he has any connection with "snow". After all, he was born in early summer and doesn't have any special liking for snowy weather.
Even when they went to Hokkaido, they had to be locked up in the hotel for several days because of a severe snowstorm. It can be said that Yushan Kazuto was able to maintain a relatively calm attitude towards the weather like "snow", which was already quite good.
After obtaining the approval document of "having a connection with snow", Yu Mingxue's grandfather struck while the iron was hot and negotiated many cooperation agreements with Yushan Kazuto's grandfather.
Logically speaking, the Yushan family and the Yuming family should be getting along very well now. How come it is that Yushan Kazuto's grandfather is unwilling to visit the Yuming clan's land?
This involves a request that Yu Mingxue's grandfather made to Yushan Heren's grandfather.
Because of that request, Yushan Heren’s grandfather was furious. Many projects that had been cooperating for a while were completely shelved by Yushan Heren’s grandfather. This was also the source of the biggest dissatisfaction of many Yuming clan members towards the Yushan family.
They were somewhat reluctant about the cooperation in the first place, but after seeing the help from the Yushan family, the progress of many projects increased several times.
Now that he has gained tangible benefits, it seems that being addressed as "Master Yu" or "Master Yushan" is not unacceptable.
Moreover, according to clan rules, except for the head of the family, members of the Yuming clan cannot have direct contact with people from the Yushan family.
I don't call him "Sir" in person, at most I call him that when talking to some staff sent by the Yushan family, and it's not that hard to accept.
However, after Yushan Kazuto's grandfather stopped all cooperation, there were more voices of dissatisfaction from the Yuming family.
There were already some complaints about the cooperation, and Yushan Kazuto's grandfather unilaterally stopped all cooperation, which naturally made the two families even more unhappy.
However, Yushan Heren's grandfather did not terminate the cooperation without reason. He felt that the request put forward by Yu Mingxue's grandfather was a bit excessive.
The other party actually wanted Yushan Kazuto to marry Yu Mingxue, and one of the children born after that would have the surname "Yu Ming".
Not to mention Yushan Kazuto's grandfather's views on marriage, the latter one is something that Yushan Kazuto's grandfather absolutely cannot accept.
The Yushan family has been a single-line lineage for more than five hundred years.
The last time the Yushan family had two heirs of the same generation was during the Ming Dynasty.
The elders at that time were still hoping to have more children, but one of them didn't leave any offspring, and the Yushan family returned to being a single-line family.
Going back further, it is the Five Dynasties period.
Although the Yushan family has been passed down for such a long time, it has always been on the verge of extinction.
Yu Mingxue's grandfather hoped that the Yushan family would be able to adopt a son to him in the future, which was really a bit offensive to Yushan Kazuto's grandfather.
In fact, the Yushan family and the Yuming family have always had difficulties in inheritance. Otherwise, it would not have taken so long for the Yumingxue family to develop to less than a thousand people, and the situation of the Yushan family is even more serious.
After coming to Japan, the Yuming family and the Yuyama family had actually lost contact for a long time.
Yu Mingshi even thought at one point that the Yushan family had cut off its inheritance. Yu Mingxue's grandfather obviously did not have a thorough understanding of the situation of the Yushan family, so he made this offensive request.
Perhaps in the eyes of modern people, the right to pass on a child's surname, whether it is the father's or the mother's, is not actually a big problem.
But in the eyes of the older generation, this issue is still very serious, not to mention that it is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Because of this incident, the relationship between the two sides became tense for a while, but it did not last long.
Because soon after that, the Hayama family chose to withdraw all their industries from Japan, and some businesses that could not be withdrawn from Japan were handed over to the Tomomori family, the Fujinomiya family and other families for management.
In order to prevent the Tomomori family, the Fujinomiya family and other families in the Hayama family camp from being overly targeted by the Japanese Parliament, the Hayama family chose to let them restart their cooperation projects with the Yuming family.
With the mediation of the Yuming family, after experiencing the initial pain of the Hayama family's withdrawal from Japan, families such as the Tomomori family and the Fujinomiya family actually developed better.
Yu Ming also gained a lot of benefits from the cooperation.
On the one hand, it consolidated Yu Mingxue's status as the heir of the family, and on the other hand
On the other hand, Yu Ming's resentment towards Yushan family was also alleviated a lot.
More than ten years have passed, and although the Yuming family still does not have much contact with the Yushan family, the initial rejection has long gone.
After Yu Mingxue's grandfather passed away, Yu Mingxue was able to secure his position as the family heir, thanks in large part to his relationship with the Yushan family.
However, now, although Yu Mingxue still holds the identity of the heir of the Yu Ming family, in reality, the power he can truly mobilize is not that much.
Apart from the clan territory, where Yu Mingxue has relatively great power, it is actually difficult for Yu Mingxue to command most of the Yu Ming family's industries in Japan.
Yu Mingxue did not intend to tell Yushan Heren about these things, nor did she want to rely on the power of the Yushan family to solve these problems.
If the power of the Yushan family was introduced, Yu Mingxue would inevitably turn against many people in the Yuming family, which was not what Yu Mingxue wanted to see.
As for the position of the head of the family, Yu Mingxue did not have too much obsession.
After Yu Mingxue's grandfather passed away, the Yu Ming family actually did not have a "head of the family", not even an "acting head of the family".
In fact, there was still a certain degree of decency between Yu Mingxue and Yu Mingshi.
