Chapter 825: Everything is Moving
During dinner in the evening, Zhu Qinghua suddenly said softly, "There have been a lot of things going on recently!"

Ok?
Zhou You was holding his son on his knees, feeding him peeled prawns, and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing serious. Isn't the Eighth Gentleman going to marry a woman from overseas? I have to help out a little bit here!"

"Before leaving home, my father specifically told me not to seek merit but to avoid mistakes."

Zhu Zhu Qinghua paused and advised tactfully, "Recently, both families in the two mansions have made moves. This is no small matter."

This is the truth!

The matter of the Eight Gentlemen marrying Hai Shuer affected the major families in the left and right mansions.

As for the feudal lords, except the great gentleman who went on an expedition to the three northwestern states, the three gentlemen and the five gentlemen were all paying attention to this matter.

The Zhou Dongzong has been very restless recently, allocating manpower and resources to plan something.

As for Zhou You’s good friend Lian Feihong, his Lian family also supported the Eight Gentlemen and visited them several times to maintain relations.

Every company has made big moves!

This marriage is of great significance!

When the Eight Gentlemen married Hai Shuer, they not only obtained the second Grandmaster Seal, but were also able to win over the huge group of warriors at sea, and their strength increased by leaps and bounds.

The other gentlemen all felt threatened that this young brother had come from behind and his momentum had been too rapid in recent years.

The unanimous opinion is that it is time to suppress the growing power!

Although Zhu Qinghua was at home, she could feel the tense atmosphere from many details. She was a kind-hearted woman, familiar with the rules of the aristocratic family, and knew that all parties were in a precarious situation this time.

The South is different from the North. The Beixuan Zhu family is the only dominant one, and the major families are like the ebb and flow of the tide, with birth and death being impermanent.

Many once-powerful families once surpassed Bei Xuan Zhu in size, but have long since withdrawn from the stage of history.

This battle involves the fight for the succession to the feudal lord, and it is extremely dangerous. Zhou Nanwang, the pillar of the Western Sect, is not at home. She is afraid that Zhou You will not be able to cope with it and will become a victim in this fierce fight.

"It's fine!"

Zhou You held Zhu Qinghua's soft yellow hair with one hand and gently placed it on her knees, while covering her lower abdomen with his palm, "For the sake of the child, I will also be careful in everything."

Zhu Qinghua breathed a sigh of relief, "How about letting Yufu'er go with the guards? She is also strong and can be of some use."

There is no need to worry about Xi Zong. After all, it is an old family house that has been in business for a long time, and there is an old master who is usually not seen guarding it.

It’s okay to travel at home, but you always have to go out to do things, and it’s hard to say what will happen once you step out of the house.

Zhu Qinghua was afraid that he would encounter danger, just like the trip to Bukong City.

Zhou You glanced at Yu Fu'er and shook his head, "No need, let her accompany Pan'er!"

The atmosphere of the meal was not relaxed. The women in the family all knew that a storm was about to come, and their expressions were solemn.

The next day, Lian Feihong came again, "Are you ready?"

Zhou You nodded, and after arranging matters at home, he went out with Lian Feihong, of course bringing all his personal guards with him.

Including Mao Lang, Cao Mo'ang and Jian Xiaocao

A few days ago, Hai Shuer and her daughter arrived at the pavilion outside the city and sent an envoy to the capital to report. They waited for the Eight Gentlemen to receive them according to etiquette. The Eight Gentlemen sent people to offer sacrifices and divine, and chose an auspicious day, which was this morning, and went out with a group of people to welcome them.

According to understanding, the Eight Gentlemen invited an elder, Uncle Wang, to accompany them.

Zhou You and Lian Feihong went together as companions, symbolizing the centripetal force of this political alliance. It was a warm and sunny day, and everything was normal, but it always made people feel that something was about to happen.

On the way, Lian Feihong chatted with Zhou You, and the topic they talked about was the relationship between Uncle Wang and the Eight Gentlemen.

It turns out that according to the rules, when the sons of a feudal lord come of age, they must appoint a junior teacher to teach them etiquette and impart knowledge. The junior teacher of each gentleman is either a learned scholar or a famous master.

For example, the great gentleman has two junior masters, one civil and one martial. They are the master of seal script, who is second only to Lord Chongyang, and Ming Wangqiu, the master of the first family of the left palace, the 'Ming family'.

The Three Gentlemen and the Five Gentlemen also have Junior Masters, but the Eight Gentlemen do not...

Well, there are historical reasons for this, and it’s not convenient to discuss it in detail on the way.

In short, there are not many cases where the young master actually teaches, and his main purpose is to increase the political bargaining chips for the gentlemen.

For example, the junior master of the Five Gentlemen is the master of the Zuofu Mu family, so this top family comparable to the Zhou family is firmly tied to the camp of the Five Gentlemen.

Of course, Zhou You had also heard a rumor.

Isn't the Zhou clan's Eastern Sect affiliated with the Three Gentlemen? An old-time master of the Eastern Sect, who is said to be the elder of Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou Feixing, once competed for the position of the Three Gentlemen's Junior Master but failed.

The Shao Shi is closely tied to the Gentleman. Once the Gentleman registers, the Shao Shi is automatically upgraded to the Grand Shi, the National Shi, or the Imperial Shi.

But if a gentleman fails in seizing the throne, not only will he be in danger himself, but his family will also suffer a blow, either being destroyed or never able to recover.

Zhou You was just wondering why Lord Feng had not yet appointed a junior tutor to the Eight Gentlemen.
There are only two explanations. The first is that he didn't care and even forgot about it for a while. The second is that he thought too much of him and wanted to find a very important young master to back him up.

Since Zhou You had never met Feng Jun and didn't know his feelings, he had no way of judging which possibility it was.

Therefore, in order to marry Hai Shuer, the Eight Gentlemen went to meet her in person and even mobilized the political power they held.

From the outside, it seems that he is willing to do anything to increase his power.

Zhou You didn't think so. He also knew that Hai Shu'er had the mark of a master, which was a shield used by the Eight Gentlemen.

Well, even Hai Shuer’s background as a demon soldier might be something that the Eight Gentlemen could take advantage of.

Pavilions and corridors are the only way to travel by land outside the capital city.

In ancient times, princes from all directions gathered in the city that symbolized the country to pay homage to the king. They had to stay outside the city to wash off the dust and tidy up their appearance, so the building of "pavilion" came into being.

Pavilion means to stay, and corridor is the passage for the emperor to pass through.

"Sir, if we show off like this, will those people be fooled?"

Zhou You looked around. The Eight Gentlemen were traveling in a very grand procession. Uncle Wang was sitting in the car and laughing. People kept stopping to watch on both sides of the road. It must be easy for a spy to hide among them.

The travel procedures of this team are open to the public, Uncle Wang.

Zhou You and Lian Feihong were both there, but the main character, the Eight Gentlemen, were not there.

Alas, the most important task today is to maintain the appearance of this team so that many spies cannot notice that the Eight Gentlemen had already rushed to the pavilion the day before to meet with Hai Shuer and her daughter.

This was truly tantamount to walking into a tiger's den alone. Knowing full well that the father and daughter had ill intentions, the Eight Gentlemen actually left behind their many followers and met them alone, which made people sweat.

Lian Feihong whispered, "It's something that everyone knows, so you and I have to go on with it, don't worry about anything else."

This is also a smart person. He knows what job he should do in his position and he never talks too much!
