Chapter 215 Amami Yuki and Sakakibara Suzu’s amazing speeches (Birthday Party 2)
Open grassland, straight avenues, rows of sycamore trees, workers cleaning fallen leaves and snow...
The scenery is spotless and crystal clear under the pure white and early snowfall at the end of November. Coupled with the quiet atmosphere around Chiyoda District, it is really artistic.
After getting out of the car and standing in front of the gate to Tianhai's villa, Kanhara followed A Ling's voice and looked into the iron gate.
There is no tree inside the door.
Or should I say, there are no tall trees, there are just bushes that set off the large lawns. Looking inward along the straight road behind the iron gate, you can see something that can only be seen in the Dahe drama.
An exaggerated mansion.
Kanbaru looked up at the past. Although he didn't know what style of building it was, he could tell from the large area of vacant grass in the front garden that the owner of this manor liked space.
I just pay attention to the word "style" that does not need too many external objects to set off.
The iron gate opened, and from the moment she officially stepped into the manor, Kanbaru Suzu couldn't stop looking around with curious eyes.
It is also covered with white snow, and the plain green grass becomes covered with silver.
"Is this the first time for the young master and the young lady to come here?" Old Butler Yingbo said with a smile. His smile had the affinity of an old man, which made people feel cordial.
"Yes." Kanbaru replied.
"Then young master, don't be too nervous. Just treat this place as your own home. You can visit it at will. This is the front garden, and there are gardens and ponds in the back garden. There is also an open-air rest area. There is a pavilion over there. If you are bored at ordinary times,
You can enjoy the flowers and drink tea there. Of course, because the weather has been too cold recently, no one will come out and sit here now."
"Does anyone live in the manor permanently?"
"The master often lives here, and Miss Zhixue is also here. Most of the other ladies are working outside, but there are two ladies who are still studying in graduate schools who often come back to live here."
Amami Shigenori looked at the mansion from the right front of Kambaraku, and said with a bit of boredom: "I don't like this place, it's too big."
Kanbaru couldn't understand the reason why his uncle didn't like it, so Sakura took the initiative to help him explain to Kanbaru:
"The young master feels that this place is too big, and there are only a few people there. It is impersonal and too deserted."
Of course, Uncle Ying was also taking care of his young master's face and spoke in a lower voice.
This sounds interesting to Kanbaru music. I think Sakura is also a very interesting person.
But Uncle Tianhai is not a deaf person. Hearing Uncle Ying’s words, he sighed:
"The old man has always known to be busy with his own business."
These words were heard by Tianhai Jiuliuli and Tianhai Qimingyue. Although they didn't express anything, it sounded to Kanhara Le that this was not what the two sisters were saying.
Every day I only know how to be busy with work, and I don’t take care of my family.
Uncle Ying obviously knew about this matter and turned into a comforting tone:
"Young master is married now, can you understand me more or less? I actually feel guilty for you."
"I know," Uncle Tianhai said without emotion, "but that doesn't mean I can forgive him. He still wants to restrain him to this day. This is something that has never changed."
….
During the period of entering the mansion, Kanhara Raku kept listening to the conversation between Sakura and Uncle Tianhai.
To sum up, it is actually:
Uncle Tianhai and the old man are the same type of people. The old man lacked care for him as a family member since he was a child, which made Uncle Tianhai dislike this family very much... But after Uncle Tianhai grew up and left this family, he stumbled back to his father's family.
Old road.
They are all the same, and Uncle Tianhai has become the kind of person he hates.
If there is a difference, it is that the old man has not given up yet, while Uncle Tianhai has done his best to prevent others from interfering in the lives of his two daughters.
This is a matter for the elders, Kambara is not qualified to intervene, Tianhai Qimingyue and Tianhai
Jiu Liuli didn't have any objections, so she naturally kept quiet and walked into the mansion through the snow.
Uncle Ying led several people into an empty rectangular room with a modern Japanese style.
A calligraphy copybook with the word "Heart" hangs at the top, and several sabers are neatly placed under the calligraphy copybook.
Uncle Ying had to prepare breakfast for everyone, so he took his leave for now and asked everyone to wait here for a while. The old man will be here soon.
"Knife?" Kanbaru Suzu saw what was placed under the copybook at a glance.
"That's Grandpa's collection," Tianhai Jiuliuli also took a look and explained, "Grandpa likes these ancient knives very much. He collected them all if he could. Because he liked them very much, he put them in the dining area.
You can see it anytime."
Kanbaru Suzu really wants to see it, but I don’t know if I can touch it.
"Just do whatever you want." Amami Madenori saw her thoughts, "According to the old man's intention, he is only happy when someone appreciates his collection. My sisters have played too much and are no longer interested in his knives. Instead, he is a bit depressed.
."
"Oh." Kanbaru Suzu nodded repeatedly, ran over, and picked it up carefully.
She took the one closest to her, grasped the handle and pulled it out, revealing its cold light.
Kanbaru asked Encyclopedia standing next to him: "What kind of sword is Suzu holding?"
"That's it. But don't get me wrong, Muramasa is the name of a swordsmith, and the sword he forges is called Muramasa, so there is more than one. The same goes for other famous swords."
"What about the other knives? Are they all famous knives?"
Tenkai Nanamiyue said in turn: "Mikazuki Munechika, Doji Kiri Yasutsuna, Nagasoya Kotetsu, Izumi Mamoru Kanesada, Taro Taishou, Muramasa - grandpa collected seven in total."
"Two national treasure-level swords? So powerful."
There is no man who doesn't love knives. Kanbaru couldn't help but be curious. He got closer and took out a boy to cut it out.
This knife is quite long, the blade length alone is 80 centimeters, and the handle is curved.
The total length of the knife handle is estimated to be about 110 cm.
The sand flow of the golden ribs on the blade is clearly visible. It has been preserved since ancient times and looks as sharp as ever.
......
Kanbaru saw his own reflection in the sharp blade.
"It's built with a pickaxe, the edifice has a high waist, an open posture, a stem, a reverse stem, chestnut ribs, a nail hole for the eye, a sharp eye, and a dense flow of golden tendons and sand... This is the boy Kiri Yasuna.
.How about it, is it a good knife?"
….
Kanbaru held Doji Kiri in his hand, and before he could try to wave it twice, his energetic voice attracted his attention.
Standing at the door was an old man wearing a gray and black kimono.
Grandpa...
The current head of the Tenkai family is named Soichiro Tenkai.
He has his hands behind his back and has an elegant temperament. Just looking at him with his eyes gives people an invisible pressure.
"You are Kanbaru Raku, right?"
"Yes, it's the first time we meet." Kanbaru bowed his head and saluted.
"You look pretty good." Amkai Soichiro looked at Kanbaru Suzu again. Different from the serious expression when he faced Kanbaru Raku, he smiled kindly, "So you are Kanbaru Suzu?"
[A book-chasing book recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, @
Kanbaru Suzu.
But the matter of his son's marriage had never been discussed with him. Facing the new daughter-in-law who came to visit for the third time, and the two children of the new daughter-in-law who came to visit for the first time, it was strange that he did not show any displeasure. Perhaps the old man was afraid that what he said to his son would frighten Kanbaru Suzu, so he turned back to her and smiled and said:
"Can I call you Ling?"
"Yeah." Kanbaru Suzu nodded.
"There is a birthday tea party specially organized for you this afternoon. The main purpose is to announce to the outside world the fact that Maodian remarried, as well as the existence of you and your brother... Haha, do you understand what this means?" p>
"Does this mean that we will officially have a relationship with the Tianhai family from now on?"
The old man nodded with satisfaction and put his hands into his cuffs, "This also means that when you go out, you will be affected by the sky and sea behind you. There are pros and cons. However, our family's reputation with the outside world has always been shining, so there is no need to worry about too much.
Something."
"Yeah." Kanbaru Suzu just nodded. In her opinion, he was a very kind grandfather.
After chatting for a while, Uncle Ying and several servants placed the prepared breakfasts one by one in front of everyone sitting at the long table.
The rice was served first, followed closely by seven snacks, each on a different plate.
Kagura Raku could only see that the arrangement of the dishes was extremely exquisite, but he couldn’t see any clues.
So Tianhai Jiuliuli lowered his voice and explained to him: "In order from left to right, they are sucking things (clear soup), covering things (chawanmushi), cooking things (stewed vegetables, fish, tofu, etc.), eight inches
"This is Kyoto cuisine, which is Kaiseki cuisine. It is not arranged in a formal order."
Amami Nanamiyue explained on the other side of Kanbaru: "Grandpa is so proud that he knows that he can't just cook some side dishes to entertain you, but he also feels that the kaiseki cuisine is too stingy, so he just serves it all at once, so that you can enjoy it."
”
….
He is quite a casual old man.
Because the old man was at the top of the long table, he could still communicate privately by lowering his voice, so Kambara asked her again:
"Does the old man only prefer women?"
"Oh? Did you see it?"
"I feel like the way he looks at me and the way he looks at A-Ling are not the same at all. His attitude towards my uncle is also a bit weird..."
"Sister-chan is today's protagonist, and since you have a sensitive identity, grandpa putting pressure on you is what he should do."
After chatting for a while, the meal has not yet started. Everyone is sitting around the long table, obviously waiting for someone.
Soichiro Amkai stretched out his hand to Sakura who was standing at the dining table and ordered: "Takataka, go and shout out the snow. Don't always be late for breakfast."
"Miss Zhixue should just get up now."
"Then ask the maid to call her out. Everyone is waiting."
Uncle Ying saluted and nodded. He was about to leave the Japanese room, but as soon as he walked out of the door, he froze.
Uncle Ying said to Mr. Tianhai who looked up: "Miss Zhixue is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender girl appeared in everyone's sight. She had long black hair that fell to her waist. She was wearing blue woolen pajamas. Her oval-shaped face was set off by a pair of delicate eyebrows.
The lower body is exquisite and small, very well-proportioned. A pair of bare feet on the ground, coupled with the sleepy appearance, is really beautiful, and it looks very much like the portrait of a girl found in the novel.
It was already snowing in winter, but the way her bare feet stepped on the floor looked like she was stepping on snow, giving people an icy and cool feeling.
If you look carefully, you can also find that she is somewhat similar to Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli. Just by looking at her appearance, you can tell that she is related to the two sisters Tianhai.
"What are you looking at?"
As Kanbaraku looked at it, the flesh on his waist was twisted.
He looked painfully in the direction of the source of the pain. Although Tianhai Qimingyue had no expression on his face
However, the light in her eyes was obviously telling him that she was very dissatisfied with his performance.
"What are you doing..." Shen Yuanle whispered to Qi Mingyue, deliberately guarding against being discovered by Jiu Liuli.
"Just asking someone to stop his lustful eyes and make him unable to walk when he sees a beautiful girl?"
"...I'm looking at it normally." Kanbaru Raku is really wronged.
The girl looked at the few people who suddenly appeared in the Japanese-style restaurant. Their unfamiliar faces made her tilt her head in confusion, like a lost cat.
"...Who is she?" Shen Yuanle covered her aching waist and decided not to ask Qi Mingyue, but to ask Jiu Liuli.
"It's little aunt." Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled and answered in a gentle voice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"...?! Is this your uncle's sister who is the same age as you?"
"Well, her name is Tianhai Zhixue, she is about the same age as us, only one month apart."
Snow in the sky and sea.
What a unique name.
"Who are you...?" Tianhai Zhixue's voice was very ethereal and small, and her eyes were full of doubts.
Amkai Soichiro looked a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he had specially warned this little daughter yesterday, but she still forgot.
"Miss, Miss."
Fortunately, Uncle Ying reacted quickly. He quickly said a few words to the girl, and after getting her nod, he took her away for a while.
….
When she reappeared, the girl had changed out of her pajamas into a plain white dress for winter, with slippers on her feet.
Just that dull look hasn’t changed much.
She looked at Uncle Ying, and under the embarrassed smile of the old housekeeper, the girl remembered something, put her hands together in front of her, lowered her head to salute, and began to introduce herself to the people she had never seen before on the long table:
"This is the first time we meet. My name is Tianhai Zhixue. I am the youngest daughter of the family head. I am 16 years old this year."
The old man must be over sixty at least.
This is the first time for Kanbaru Raku and Kanbaru Suzu to meet a father and daughter with such a big age difference in real life.
Although I was surprised, I didn’t forget the etiquette.
I guess this is an elder. Do I need to use honorifics?
Kanbaru Raku and Kanbaru Suzu also introduced themselves politely afterwards.
One thing that Kanbaru Raku noticed is that the Tianhai family are all very good-looking.
Needless to say about the two sisters, Uncle Tianhai is absolutely a very handsome man.
Even though Soichiro Amkai has entered old age, he still has a full temperament, and his youthful handsomeness can be vaguely seen on his face.
Snow in the sky and sea.
The first time Kanbaru laid eyes on her, he felt that she was just like her name, as pure and white as the snow floating in the air.
"When Zhixue was born, her mother passed away due to dystocia. She didn't like to see outsiders, so she had been attending private school at home and had never seen the outside world." Mr. Tianhai explained.
, it can be seen that he cares unusually for this little daughter.
Tianhai Zhixue walked quietly to the empty seat where she usually sat. She seemed not to have heard what the old man said. Like a sloth, she pulled out the chair and took a seat in the usual sequence of actions.
Amami Maodori was also paying attention to his sister. He said to the old man: "It won't work if this continues. Why didn't you make a choice earlier?"
"I know, I have been planning this recently."
"Is it ready to eat?" Tianhai Zhixue asked Mr. Tianhai who was directly above him.
"Yeah, okay."
After Tianhai Zhixue received her father's response, she picked up the kuaizi and began to chew it slowly.
The head of the house also started to move. Kanbaru saw that everyone was getting excited, so he naturally started to eat breakfast.
The breakfast of rich people tastes quite unique.
This breakfast was quite enjoyable.
This is due to the old man’s active concern for Ah Ling.
The old man asked about A Ling’s job, A Ling’s job
Learn about her daily life, what she usually does, and the trivial things like how her daily life is.
He also said that if A Ling wanted to invest in something, she could just tell him and it would be no problem for him to come up with some money.
The atmosphere is enhanced by the daily warmth of a family having breakfast together.
These words of concern for A Ling made Kamigahara feel that the old man was more like an ordinary grandpa, rather than an extremely stern old man.
For a moment, I still didn’t understand why Uncle Tianhai hated the old man so much?
This question was something Kanbaru didn’t know until he asked Uncle Tianhai later.
Before Zhixue was born, the old man was the kind of person who was very serious about his children and lacked care. After Tianhai Zhixue was born, the old man began to slowly undergo some changes.
I also know how to care about my children and future generations.
This is also one of the reasons why Uncle Tianhai is willing to return to Tianhai's house and ease the relationship with the old man.
As for Kambaraku.
...The old man really never asked him any questions.
Being treated invisibly differently will create an inexplicable pressure.
But after Qi Mingyue's reminder, Kambara also knew that this was the old man testing himself.
He doesn't care at all. If he feels uncomfortable or angry just because of this, that would be the worst sign of failure.
......
When the meal was about to end, Soichiro Amkai deliberately avoided Shigenori Amami and asked directly to Suzu Kambara:
"Ling, I heard that your brother is dating one of my granddaughters. Well, who is it specifically?"
"..."
After a long period of silence, Kanhara Suzucai hesitated and replied:
"Seven Bright Moons."
As soon as these words came out, the only exceptions at the dining table were Tianhai Qimingyue, who continued to eat calmly, and Tianhai Zhixue, who was unaware.
Amami Modenori, Amami Miwa, Amami Kuruuri, Kanbaru Raku...the expressions or movements on their faces and hands were all stunned.
