Although so far, Matsumoto Keiko's parents have not had the opportunity to exchange too much private information with Jiang Nianyun.
Apart from the fact that they only know that she is an "aunt" who is not related to Ning Weimin by blood, she is also the manager of Yunyuan.
Still don't know anything else about her.
But Keiko Matsumoto’s parents are not stupid after all.
With their own life experience and rich knowledge, they have already seen from various signs something that does not need to be stated clearly.
At least they can infer that this trip to the capital will never be as simple as they imagined when they were in Japan.
If you don’t come here, just casually peruse it and go through the entire wedding process.
In fact, they no longer dare to relax at all.
Now it seems that these elders, relatives and friends of Ning Weimin are just like him, they all like to hide things and keep things secret.
So if they don't really cheer up and deal with the situation in front of them, it will definitely be their women's side who will be embarrassed in the end.
They don't want people to misunderstand that as parents, they don't pay attention to their daughter's marriage, because they have made their daughter unable to hold her head up.
Not to mention anything else, Jiang Nianyun arranged such a place for them, such a pomp, and such a way of treating guests, which is not what the nouveau riche can do.
This place is not just grand on the outside, but the words "fine" and "elegant" are everywhere.
Needless to say, what behind these two words actually represents more money.
The calligraphy and paintings hanging in this room look a bit old.
Although Han Yingming and his wife did not understand Chinese calligraphy and painting, they had seen some Japanese paintings by famous artists.
Judging from the artist's level, age and judgment, we know that the things in this house are obviously not high-end goods and cannot be cheap.
Those porcelains also look extraordinary and must have been made by famous artists.
In particular, the pair of peony bonsais with pots look crystal clear, smooth and smooth like gems. There is no such thing in Japan.
Speaking of which, Ning Weimin actually gave Han Yingming a grape container when he was in Japan.
So the couple also knew that this thing was called a feeder, and it was made of glass.
But even though the rack of grapes placed in the study room by Han Yingming has two bunches, one purple and one green, it is much smaller than the pair of half-meter-high peony bonsais. How can it be compared with them?
Therefore, it can naturally be concluded that these two pots of peonies are also valuable.
Even the tatami inside is made of fine rushes and feels like a wool carpet when you step on it.
Matsumoto Keiko's parents were really surprised. They had no idea how they got it in the capital, and whose idea was it to have such a level of decoration.
Such things are considered high-end in Japan, and people who don't know Japan will never know that there are differences in tatami.
How can anyone dare to look down upon such an in-laws?
This was nothing. When they later saw the Japanese-style bathroom and the clean and modern bathroom in the yard where you can easily take a bath, Han Yingming and his wife felt even more at ease with the conditions here, and were almost speechless with surprise.
Come.
To be honest, before they came, even the best idea was to stay in a star hotel in the capital.
Considering the backwardness of the capital in all aspects, as well as the widely circulated reputation that "going to the toilet is like going to hell".
They feel that as long as the health and service level of the place where they live can match that of ordinary hotels in Japan, they will be satisfied.
I never thought that the place I could settle down in the capital would be such a place that looks like a royal courtyard.
And living here, they can take a bath just like they would at home in Japan, and have access to such clean, bright, well-ventilated, and well-equipped bathrooms.
All this is just like a dream.
But then again, because of this, it doesn't make sense logically.
This is what they can't figure out the most. This is obviously a Chinese-style house, so why are there such high-end and traditional Japanese-style rooms?
And the specifications are so high.
Estimating based on the quality and quantity of these projects, the cost to achieve this may be far beyond imagination, and the cost is indeed not low.
In particular, we have to let people who know Japanese life very well carry out the design and planning to achieve such a result.
Did the son-in-law prepare it specifically to please his daughter or to receive them?
It seems unlikely.
After all, this house does not belong to him, so how could he carry out such large-scale construction and go to war?
But since this is a hotel, it makes sense if you think about it carefully. Is it possible that this will be a place to receive Japanese dignitaries in the future?
For this reason, Han Yingming could not bear to be curious, so he asked.
Unexpectedly, this time Jiang Nianyun didn't have to ask, and his daughter Matsumoto Keiko gave them the answer.
"Dad, I forgot to tell you that this room was the former residence of Uncle Amin's teacher. That gentleman married a Japanese wife, and she was also a lady named Hitotsubashi. It is said that this gentleman loved him very much.
He was worried that his wife would not be accustomed to living in the capital, so he specially renovated the east and west rooms of the house in the north into a Japanese style, fully taking into account his wife’s living habits. For this reason, Amin’s uncle was also acquainted with living in the capital.
The house was restored almost as it was in 2006, and we were simply allowed to live here. Now that mom and dad are here, it’s even better. There shouldn’t be anything unfamiliar in life. As for letting outsiders live here, that’s
Impossible. This is my uncle’s private residence, and it has a special meaning. He will never let anyone other than relatives and friends live here..."
Only then did Han Yingming realize that the actual answer was completely different from what he had guessed.
In particular, the original owner of this room was actually Kang Shude's teacher and mistress, and his mistress was the daughter of a famous Chinese family in Japan, the Hitotsubashi family.
This was another piece of news that left them stunned and in disbelief.
One bridge!
That is a branch of the Tokugawa family, much more noble than the ordinary Chinese!
In the Edo period, the shogunate was more powerful than the royal family, and it was the real master of Japan.
For a time, not only Han Changzi felt very honored, he praised Jiang Nianyun again with a radiant face and bowed to thank Jiang Nianyun.
Han Yingming, who asked this question, looked at the yard with beads of sweat on his nose.
He now felt that he had completely missed the mark.
Who said that his son-in-law was a helpless and poor boy with no foundation?
Who said that his teacher and unrelated uncle were just ordinary lonely old men?
Look, this is his real background. He even blames his daughter a little.
Why didn't you tell me these important things in advance?
Is this child too naive? Why doesn't she know how to think about these things? She just thinks what others tell her?
And there are some things that she clearly knows, but she still has to wait until I ask her in person.
This cheating girl, isn’t this a joke?
Therefore, because of this matter, Han Yingming's confidence was invisibly weakened.
Because now he discovered that Ning Weimin's relatives and friends are no longer rich.
He really has family heritage and cultural heritage, and his foundation is stronger than that of a fussy and fastidious person like him.
He wouldn't believe this until he got here.
But now that he has seen it and come into contact with it personally, he can no longer ignore it. He can only feel shocked and ashamed of his past words and deeds.
And even though Kang Shude had not yet met him, he did not dare to underestimate this lonely old man whom he had never met yet.
Thinking of this, he even felt that he didn't dare to take out the gift he originally prepared. He felt a little guilty and felt that the gift was too little.
So in order to buy some time to prepare again, he couldn't help but ask. "Excuse me, where is Amin's uncle now? Is it possible for us to meet today?"
Little did he know that asking this question aroused even more surprises.
Although Jiang Nianyun's answer was an understatement, it was like rolling thunder, almost numbing him.
"Ah, ask him, he is over at the theater in the east courtyard now. This is not for the wedding of our two children. We are planning to have a good time. So we invited the troupe of Fenglei Peking Opera Troupe to sing in the hall.
, I don’t need to rehearse much, but at least I have to come over and have a look to get familiar with the venue. Lao Kang is now leading the Peking Opera Troupe over there in the theater to decide on the script and make arrangements for the performance. Don’t worry, we’ll wait there
He's done with his work on the side, and he'll be back soon. He knows there are distinguished guests coming today, and he's looking forward to meeting you two, so he won't waste any time."
"What? Theater? Is there a theater that performs traditional dramas here?"
Through Matsumoto Keiko's translation, they were informed that there was a large theater building to the east of the garden owned by Kang Shude where one could watch plays indoors.
The scale is quite large, almost equivalent to a private Kabuki theater.
Han Yingming and Han Changzi looked at each other, and this time they really couldn't hide their excitement and looked horrified.
If nothing else, they finally discovered the difference between the wealthy Chinese and the wealthy Japanese.
You know, in Japan, even in the emperor's home, there is no such private theater where individuals can watch traditional performances.
There is an Imperial Theater opposite the Imperial Palace, but it is still open to the public.
It's amazing how extravagant and extravagant it is.
And they never thought that their daughter's wedding could be celebrated with a special performance of traditional arts.
Even the married daughter of the Japanese royal family would not have such pomp and circumstance.
Now Han Yingming felt that this garden could really be compared with the Emperor's Imperial Palace. It was really a wealthy family that he had never seen before.
He really didn't expect that his silly daughter, who risked her life for love, would be so lucky.
A Chinese son-in-law who obviously seemed to be a nymphomaniac and got dizzy before getting married turned out to be a very talented and invisible rich man.
Enthusiasm: Even his group of relatives and friends who seem to have no blood relationship and seem to be insignificant are actually hidden giant rich people.
Oops, my daughter unexpectedly married into a truly wealthy family. What kind of luck is this!
Speaking of which, this son-in-law is really good. It seems to be no worse than marrying into a Japanese chaebol family.
And if you say this, everything in the future will belong to your son-in-law.
Not only will his daughter enjoy the blessing, but his grandson and granddaughter will also be destined to benefit from it.
No wonder Amin has always been obsessed with this place. I bet this is the real reason.
Also, if he were to be in another position, he would not be able to leave this place if he were his son-in-law.
Even if he is allowed to live here for a long time, he is willing to live here, which is a hundred times better than the so-called luxury houses in developed countries.
So excited! So excited! I can’t restrain myself at all!
I really should have come this time, I should have come a long time ago!
Yes, now he must make up his mind to have a good relationship with Ning Weimin's relatives!
We cannot allow them to be dissatisfied, drag their son-in-law and daughter back, and then let such a large amount of family property fly away.
He decided to start pleasing them now!
Gosh, honestly, this place would be great if it were in Tokyo, Japan.
This is such a beautiful big garden, but it has been completely leveled. This land is worth a lot of money.
I guess I can buy an American city.
While he was thinking about this, Han Yingming heard a quiet but gentle cough in the courtyard.
At this time, he turned and looked out the window, and saw an old man in his sixties with a long beard running straight towards the north room.
This person is not very particular about his clothes. He only wears a white thick shirt on his upper body, light-colored trousers on his lower body, and a pair of Chinese-style cloth shoes.
Even because he was holding a cattail fan and a teapot in his hand, in the eyes of Han Yingming, who was wearing formal clothes, it was even a symbol of vulgarity and a very impolite image.
But he immediately realized that this person was probably Ning Weimin's uncle, the real owner of this garden.
So not only was he not angry, he turned to look at the expressions of Jiang Nianyun and his daughter.
Sure enough, just as he expected, people cannot be judged by their appearance.
He couldn't help but quickly tidy up his clothes, and called his wife to take the initiative to go to the main room to greet the guests.
So when Kang Shude entered the room, before he could even put down his hand on the curtain, he was surprised to see that the main room was full of people. In addition to Jiang Nianyun and Matsumoto Keiko, there was a man and a woman who were almost the same age as him.
People were looking at him with smiles on their faces.
Especially the man, who smiled so much that his teeth were exposed.
"This is our first meeting, please take care of us. We are Qingzi's parents. Thank you very much for your hospitality..."
Han Yingming didn't care whether Kang Shude could react or not, so he bowed and expressed his respect.
However, things that surprised him on this day were destined to keep coming.
While he was waiting for his daughter to translate for him, he was struck by an accident.
Because he actually heard Kang Shude speak Japanese.
"You're welcome. We are all our own people, and our two children have been a family for a long time. On behalf of myself and the people, I would like to welcome you and your wife to the capital. I am very happy to see you. You have worked hard on the road. Please sit down.
Please take a seat and let's talk slowly..."
"Oh, awesome, Mr. Kang, can you speak Japanese? Your Japanese is really proficient."
"Haha, thank you very much. I'm already unfamiliar and haven't spoken for a while. In fact, I can speak a few words in Korean."
"Ah, you also speak Korean..."
"But the level is even worse. It's limited to bargaining..."
"Okay, Lao Kang, it's dinner time, so let's take care of the guests first."
"Hey, yes, let's go to the east room..."
In the end, Jiang Nianyun summed up the conversation in one sentence, opening up a new scene of entertaining guests.
