【Gojo Family Housewife's Daily Life】Comics

My name is Gojo Yoshihime, and I am the fourth daughter of Gojo Ren, the head of the Kobe branch of the Gojo family.

My father, Gojo Ren, was committed to having a male heir. But unfortunately, he married five wives and concubines, and these five wives and concubines still only gave birth to four daughters for him.

I was born when my father was forty-five years old and was his last child.

It is said that my father had high hopes for my mother when she was pregnant with me. However, after five or six months, the test results showed that it was also a girl.

My father was greatly disappointed, and all his hopes were dashed. He hated me as a girl, and also hated my mother.

In a large family, it is hard for outsiders to imagine how miserable and difficult the lives of concubines and daughters who are not favored by the master would be.

So, I have tasted the bitterness of the fickleness of human nature long ago.

I rarely saw my eldest and second oldest sisters, as they had married before I was born. One married into the Gojo family's Kyoto branch, and the other married into the Kamo family's Osaka branch.

Neither of them comes back often, and they have enough to worry about with all the gossip and chaos in their husband's family.

My mother has been bedridden since she gave birth to me... I know that childbirth not only damaged her body... but my father's indifferent behavior also broke her heart.

My father ignored me and my mother was unable to take care of me.

So I grew up living with my third sister Ryoko (Gojo Ryoko~here I’ll add some information about Ryoko’s life).

I thought that I was born with no magical powers, and since I was a girl, it was natural that my father would not like me.

But sister Ryoko is different from me.

When she was five or six years old, her elder sister showed extraordinary talent. She possessed the ancestral technique of the Gojo family (an incomplete version of the unlimited technique without the six eyes). The "unlimited technique" requires extremely high strength and precision of the cursed power, and it is difficult to perform without the six eyes.

It can even be said that for a sorcerer with average mana, having "no lower limit" is a burden rather than an advantage, because not having six eyes means that you cannot operate precisely, and it also means that you are prone to over-burning mana (in other words, consuming mana).

But sister Ryoko is really talented, her cursed power is strong, she even successfully used "Ao" when she was 15 years old (it can't be compared with Gojo Satoru's "Ao", no limits means combining with the six eyes, there is a qualitative difference between "no limits" with the six eyes and without the six eyes).

I envy my half-sister Ryoko.

Because she represents a completely different destiny from mine, who is also a concubine's daughter of a branch family.

In a family like the Gojo family, the strength of one's talent can really determine a person's fate, and my sister Ryoko is one of them.

Even as a woman, she was able to become a representative of the Kobe branch family and work in the "Kuku" of the Gojo family's main family.

Yes, at the age of 20, she was successfully selected and admitted by the "hidden organization" of her family, and was admitted as an exception.

Being selected into the "hidden organization" means standing out from the numerous branch families and entering the elite ranks of the main family, and even means being eligible to compete for the position of family elder in the future.

The day my sister was chosen, I saw my father smile, a rare moment.

My father drank a lot of wine that day. He was in high spirits, as if he had finally been able to hold his head high after all these years.

It was also on that day that I accidentally kicked the ball into my father's backyard. When I went to pick up the ball, I saw my father pressing his fat body against the fair and slender body of a woman... the maid who poured him wine today.

I heard the woman crying...

Their white bodies entangled together, filling my eyes.

I saw that my father looked very happy, as if he was doing something wonderful.

But I don't feel any beauty...

I just feel disgusting, dirty...and want to vomit.

A feeling of physical discomfort surged from my stomach straight to my brain.

My father’s big belly and his endless desire for women... were my first impression of men when I was 14 years old.

------------------

Sister Ryoko is going to Tokyo.

I was very happy for Sister Ryoko, I was happy that she had escaped the cursed fate of being a concubine's daughter of a branch family. But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel sad for myself.

I am...sad...and lost. After Sister Ryoko left, I was truly alone.

But...I didn't expect that three months later, I would also leave Kobe and go to Tokyo.

Two months after Sister Ryoko left, my father suddenly talked about the family's affairs at a family dinner. He said that the head of the family was preparing to abdicate early, and would prepare for Master Wu to take the position of head of the family after he got married.

what?

....Lord Kiyoshi (head of the family Gojo Kiyoshi) wants to abdicate?

I have never heard of it... But this is normal. After all, these major events of the Gojo family are too far away from my life.

After all, this was what my father said, and I thought it must be true.

I then called my sister who was far away in Tokyo to check on her.

Sister Ryoko said it was true. She said that Master Wu would be getting married in more than a month, and they had been so busy in Tokyo these days that they were almost exhausted.

And so, in November of 14, at the age of 13, I embarked on the journey to Tokyo for the first time.

This is also the first time I have left Kobe since I was born and the first time I have traveled so far away.

It was exciting to be away from home.

Even...I have a hidden expectation in my heart.

I'm looking forward to meeting Sister Ryoko in Tokyo...and also looking forward to meeting Lady Kamiko of our Gojo family.

Master Wu, the son of God of our Gojo family, the only son of the head of the family, Lord Qing, possesses the six eyes that appear once every hundred years in the Gojo family.

I really want to meet him...

I want to meet Lady Kamiko of our Gojo family.

In fact, with my status, I have no right to meet Master Wu under normal circumstances...

But... it's different for a wedding...

As a guest, I could see the groom at the wedding.

---------------

Only by coming to Tokyo can you experience the immense wealth and prosperity of the Gojo family.

The main family's inn is so luxurious that it is better than many branch family's mansions.

At this time, the inn was entertaining the young ladies from various branch families who came to attend the wedding of the young master, Lord Wu.

There were some young ladies who felt very disappointed about Master Wu's wedding.

For example, Miss Keiko from the Kyoto branch.

Because Miss Jingzi's grandfather is the half-brother of Master Wu's grandfather (the old man who appeared in Chapter 41, he is also the half-brother of Gojo Masa). Originally, with her family background, even if she couldn't become Master Wu's legal wife, being a concubine would always be enough.

But now...the young lady from the Lu family is here. The Lu family is a famous family in China with a history of thousands of years, not a small family that the Gojo family can control. Miss Jingzi's wish...is likely to be dashed.

At 14, I certainly couldn't empathize with these girls who were already of marriageable age. They were secretly sad, but I was eating cakes all the time.

Seeing that I was always cheerful, Jingzi said sarcastically, "I was wondering who was so careless. It turned out to be you, Shuji."

As she spoke, she looked me up and down, then said with a mocking smile: "Based on your qualifications and status, it is a blessing for you to be allowed to enter our family. You, just wait for your good father to pack you up and give you away, and wait for you to be someone's maid or concubine."

The ladies around all laughed along.

"And that woman from the Lu family, does she really think it's so easy to be the mistress of the Gojo family? Young Master Wu has already run away from the wedding before it even starts! Ha, I wonder if she will still have the face to save her then!"

Another young lady echoed, "He must have gone back to China in disgrace!"

After hearing this, Jingzi covered her face with her folding fan and laughed: "Based on my understanding of Master Wu, he will definitely not accept such a stupid thing as a marriage. Sisters, let's all wait and see Miss Lu's joke."

After hearing this, everyone covered their faces and laughed again.

As the object of ridicule, when I heard this, the smile on my face froze instantly.

I am already fourteen years old, and I know very well that although what Miss Jingzi said is unpleasant, it is not entirely false.

The fate that awaits me is nothing more than an alliance with another family or becoming a concubine of a powerful man in the Gojo family.

After all, my talent almost determines my fate.

But when I saw Miss Jingzi's mocking expression, I also wanted to ask her: If Master Wu is unwilling to accept the young lady from the Lu family who came to propose marriage, will he accept you, Jingzi?

---------------

A week later, the wedding took place as scheduled.

Weddings have been held at dusk since ancient times.

In the evening, the setting sun cast its last rays of light, dyeing the sky a light golden color. The brightly lit courtyard was like a starry sky, shining with warm light.

I squeezed into the crowd, stood on tiptoe and stretched my neck to see... and then...

I finally met the Son of God they were talking about—Master Wu.

He was wearing a black winter belt, the highest standard of official dress, standing tall and graceful, holding a ruyi in his hand. His long silver hair was hidden under his ceremonial hat, and his black belt fluttered in the wind.

He turned his head, and at just one glance, I saw that handsome face and those miraculous eyes.

I can't describe what I saw, it was as if the vast sky and the vast ocean were merged into one.

I felt as if my soul was about to drown in those intoxicating eyes.

At this moment, I finally understood why those young ladies were so upset about Master Wu getting married...

It is perfectly normal for them to admire Master Wu. After all, our Master Shenzi...he is really...too handsome...

It's so good to see... He really seems to be the son of God...

I saw that he was clearly not far away from her, but it was as if there were thousands of layers of mirror flowers and water moons between us...

But I know that he is not someone I can desire.

I also know that this is not love, it is just a 14-year-old girl's concrete perception and imagination of all her longings for an adult man.

The light is as bright as day...

The lights of the Gojo family also made me unable to see clearly. Everything was too beautiful and too dreamy...

At this moment, booming ceremonial music suddenly sounded.

I saw a handsome brown-haired boy leading the bride out of the wedding car with an expressionless face.

Everyone was eager to see the bride.

But the four maids held up their fans to block the bride's face.

"Who is that?" I asked the person next to me curiously.

"It's the eldest son of the Lu family - Master Gong." After saying that, he whispered in my ear: "He is very likely to be the next head of the Lu family."

I see... However, China does seem to have a tradition of brothers sending off their brides.

"Is he the bride's biological brother?" I asked.

"No, they are cousins. However, Miss Lu, oh no, she is now the young lady. Although the young lady and Master Gong are not biological siblings, she is the only great-granddaughter of the head of the Lu family, Old Master Lu Ci. So the status of the young lady is noble. Isn't the Gojo family marrying a woman of this status?"

I listened and said "oh" twice, not quite understanding what he meant.

At this time, I saw Master Wu bowed to the bride first.
