He and these people were "tourists", and Ningzi was the only daughter of the abbot of the temple. It was not unusual for them to attract attention when they were mixed together. However, Qianhara Rinto felt that the eyes of those people were somewhat hostile for some reason, but those people just looked at them from a distance and did not come over.
, Qianhara Rinto didn’t take it to heart. He glanced at it and pretended he didn’t see it, and turned his attention to Michiko again.
She was young and at the age where she loved to play. She looked very excited and helped Hitomi Konoe carry a bucket of steamed glutinous rice back. Ningzi also started to help, and started scooping a large wooden spoon into the stone mortar. She felt that it was just the right amount.
Then he raised his head and said with a smile: "Qianyuan-kun, that's it. Let's start making rice cakes!"
Making rice cakes requires the cooperation of two people. One person hits it hard with a mallet, and the other person keeps turning the glutinous rice in the mortar. Ningzi obviously wants to partner with Chihara Rinto, but at this time Aiko shouted: "Ningzi
Sister, come here and teach us, we seem to be overdoing it."
Ningzi turned around and looked, and Miqianzi was trotting over from the other side, and said diligently: "Sister Ningzi, go over there quickly, I will help the master."
Ningzi raised his head and smiled at Qianyuan Rinto. He didn't object. He got up and walked over there. At the same time, he laughed softly: "I'll go over and take a look. Be careful not to hurt yourself."
Qianhara Rinto also smiled helplessly and said: "I know, I will talk to her when I get the chance later." He didn't pay attention before, but now he can see clearly that Miqianzi is really a brat, and she doesn't know what to do with Ning.
What are you arguing about? They are just instigating Aizi and the others always take up Ningzi's time.
Miqianzi didn't realize anything, ran back and started to turn over the cooked glutinous rice cubes in the stone mortar. She raised her little face and said with a smile: "Master, let's get started!"
If an adult were to play tricks with Chihara Rinto like this, Chihara Rinto would probably have put her on the blacklist, and he would have to let her know how powerful she is later. But Michiko is his unlucky disciple, and her behavior is not right, but why?
What do you mean? I can understand it to some extent...
Even if he gets married, he won't ignore Michiko. He will just treat her as having an extra daughter. He will really have to talk to Michiko in a tactful manner later!
He smiled, took the gavel handed over by Konoe Hitomi, pretended not to know anything, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's get started!"
"Master, come on!" The two disciples cheered for the master together. Hitomi Konoe was born in the countryside and had experience. He also gave some guidance to Rinto Chihara by the way. "Master, the key is to maintain a good rhythm, rise and fall quickly, but don't smash it."
In the hands of Michiko."
"clear!"
Chihara Rinto responded and got ready to start work. He felt that making rice cakes was not difficult, it was just mechanical labor.
The glutinous rice was first soaked in water for a long time and then steamed overnight. Now it only needs to be smashed into mud and kneaded into a good shape. It is done. No matter how you think about it, it doesn’t feel difficult. Even a pig should be able to do it, but Chihara Rinto raised the gavel.
I frowned, feeling that it was difficult to control the front and back weight, and it was quite heavy. I quickly added a little more force and hit it accurately in the stone mortar. However, it was slightly skewed. Fortunately, it was very sticky and sticky cooked glutinous rice. If
The raw beans would probably fly sideways on the spot and kill the eldest disciple.
As soon as the gavel fell, Chihara Rinto quickly raised it again, and Michiko happily turned it over with a big wooden spoon, shouting happily: "Master is so awesome!" Her task was to turn the rice, first using a wooden spoon, and then waiting for the glutinous rice.
After it forms a ball, dip your hands in water and knead it until it becomes a very elastic rice ball.
Qianyuan Rinto didn't bother to talk, he focused all his energy on the gavel. This gavel was very strange. The rod was thin and elastic, and the head of the hammer was a very long cylinder, which looked like a cross without a head.
In short, unlike the tool hammers on ordinary construction sites, it is particularly difficult for inexperienced people to use.
He felt a little troubled here, but Michiko was having a good time, and Hitomi Konoe was also directing him next to her, "Master, if you go faster, the drawing has already begun. Please stretch the silk a little longer!"
When hitting rice cakes, the longer the "thread" stuck to the head of the mallet, the more prosperous the fortune will be in the next year, which is a good omen, but Chihara Rinto has already been unable to care about it.
This job is real physical work and requires a lot of muscles. He smashed awkwardly for six or seven minutes. His arm went weak and the mallet he had just lifted fell back halfway. If Miqianzi hadn't been quick to react and retracted her hand enough,
Quickly, there is a high probability that you will suffer for a while and your strength will be insufficient. It may not hurt your muscles and bones, but it will definitely hurt.
Hitomi Konoe quickly asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong? Did you hurt your arm?"
Chihara Rinto was fine, but he had never done it before, and his muscles were not used to this kind of work. After a while of mechanical exercise, lactic acid accumulated seriously, and his arms were a little weak and trembling. In fact, he would be fine after just a minute or two, but he stopped immediately.
, anyway, he is not very interested in this kind of activity.
He smiled apologetically at Michiko and said to Hitomi Konoe: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired. Come on, Hitomi, I'll take a rest."
He wanted to avoid laziness. There was no sense of accomplishment in mechanical work like making rice cakes. He didn't like it. If he had the final say, he would have gotten a machine to do it. But as soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from beside him.
He turned around and saw that the young men he had noticed before had walked over at some point. Looking closer, he saw that they were all wearing black hakama and white hakama, but they were not wearing loincloths or five strips.
Although he is wearing a monk's uniform, he still can't tell whether he is a handyman or a disciple in the temple.
Michiko also stood up, with a somewhat angry expression on her face. The master didn't do a good job and looked clumsy. But the master is not a rice cake maker, and this is not his specialty. What's so funny?
So disrespectful!
Those few people also noticed that they were caught peeping, but they didn't hide. They walked over directly. The young man leading them was very handsome and strong. He was more than half a head taller than Chihara Rinto. He rushed over.
Qianyuan Rinto lowered his head and said with a smile: "This guest, I'm rude."
Qianyuan Rinto felt a little unhappy when others laughed at him, but his palace was relatively heavy and he did not get angry. He smiled and said: "It's nothing, but you guys are here..."
"Are you Miss Ningzi's guest? This is Miss Ningzi's first time bringing a guest back. We couldn't help but be a little curious and came over to take a look. Please don't be offended." The handsome man smiled charmingly and said:
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Saburo Shinsou who grew up with Miss Ningzi. Please give me your advice in the future."
Qianyuan Rinto suddenly realized that Ningzi's childhood sweetheart seemed to be coming with bad intentions.
He smiled and said politely: "It turns out he is Ning Zi's senior brother. Sorry, I haven't heard Ning Zi talk about it. Otherwise, I should say hello first. I'm really sorry. My surname is Qianyuan, and I am Ning Zi's boyfriend. From now on
Please also take care of me, Senior Brother Zhenzong."
He smiled when he spoke, with the demeanor of a gentleman as gentle as jade, but Shinsou Saburo's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
It’s not that the name of “Teacher Qianyuan” is so famous. These disciples in practice don’t have many opportunities to watch TV, and they don’t pay much attention to social news. Even if they occasionally read it on TV and newspapers, they don’t bother to come for a while and just listen.
The title of "Ningzi's boyfriend" caused great physical discomfort. Hakuba Ningzi was the only apple of their master's eye. He had not returned from traveling for a long time, but when he came back, he brought a rare friend with him.
It's okay to bring friends back, but there is a man among them, and they seem to have a relatively close relationship with this man. They feel a little uncomfortable, but they are just unhappy. I didn't expect that he turned out to be Ningzi's boyfriend.
Why!
Saburo Shinsou didn't believe it, and he suddenly took a step forward, condescendingly, and asked with a dark face: "Boyfriend?"
Qianyuan Rinto was not afraid, smiled and nodded: "Yes, if it's fake, it's real gold!"
He is not an honest person by nature. Behind his smiling face is his aggressive nature. He won't care if someone plans to compete with him for Ningzi. Maybe he will be even more excited and try to rape Ningzi. He feels a little uneasy about his conscience.
But he won't even blink when he screws up his competitors.
He would smash the head of anyone who dared to sabotage his plan. This was his usual style! So Hakuba Munamasa and Mizueda didn't object to Ningzi's marriage, otherwise he wouldn't mind having a fierce fight with his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
So "childhood sweetheart" doesn't even count in his eyes.
The scene looked like it was going to be a conflict for a moment, and the smell of gunpowder suddenly became stronger. Michiko immediately moved closer to Chihara Rinto, and glared at Shinsou Saburo. She disliked Ningzi so much that she wished she could launch Ningzi to Mars, getting closer and closer to Chihara Rinto.
The farther away, the better, but she can tell the difference between internal strife and external strife, so this is obviously the time to unite with the outside world.
Hitomi Konoe was even more wild. She flicked her ponytail and stood directly next to Chihara Rinto, holding a mallet and eager to try. She probably had many fights in the village when she was a child, and she was not afraid of a group of grown men.
At this time, Bai Ma Ningzi had already noticed something was wrong and came over. He smiled and asked, "Brother Zhenzong, what are you doing here? Is there something wrong?"
Shinsou Saburo immediately turned to Ningzi and asked angrily: "Ningzi, is this your boyfriend?"
Ning Zi shook her head and said with a smile: "No!"
Shinsou Saburo's face instantly turned pale again, he breathed a big sigh of relief, and smiled happily. It turned out that he was another wishful thinking guy, and he was almost deceived by this kid!
But before his smile bloomed on his handsome face, Ning Zi had already walked to Qian Yuan Rin Ren, took Qian Yuan Rin Ren's arm, put her head on his shoulder, and smiled happily: "This is me
fiancé!"
In an instant, Shinsou Saburo and Michiko's faces turned dark at the same time. Michiko only felt that the word "danger" on her little head became redder and bigger, while Shinsou Saburo almost spat out a mouthful of blood. You bastard, it was more than a relationship, why did you do this?
get married?
The followers behind him were in an uproar, and one of them even lost his voice: "He... will he inherit the Baima family?"
Ning Zi had her usual gentle smile on her face, her eyes narrowed, and there were stars in them: "Yes, please continue to help and support us in the future."
"How is this possible?"
"That's right, I've never seen this person before!"
"Inappropriate..."
The discussion became louder, but Hakuba Ningzi tilted his head slightly, the smile on his face did not change, and stopped Qianhara Rinto who wanted to speak, started to look around, and said softly: "I like Qianhara-kun, Qianhara-kun also
If he likes me, he will be suitable if I think he is suitable! He is the person I have chosen to spend my life with. If anyone wants to object, just tell me loudly!"
Although the words were spoken softly, they were loud and domineering. There was a moment of silence in the place. Even Chihara Rinto looked at you with some suspicion. Isn't this the case for you in Tokyo? Are you different at home and outside?
Women are indeed born to be actors, without exception, and all of them have multiple faces?
All the followers of Shinsou Saburo were silent, but Shinsou Saburo regained his breath, but he seemed to be very afraid of Ningzi and did not dare to confront her directly. He turned to Qianhara Rinto and asked seriously: "Who are you?
Someone from the temple gate?”
Ningzi opened her mouth to speak, but Chihara Rinto stopped her with his hand and smiled at her. Ningzi understood instantly and kept silent. Chihara Rinto didn't need her to come forward, he could handle this kind of thing by himself.
She knew very well how to deal with people, so she smiled and retreated behind Rinto Chihara, who understood what Saburo Shinsou was asking.
The industry barriers in Japan are quite serious. Intermarriage within the same industry is often an unspoken rule. Japanese temples are divided into thirteen major sects and hundreds of sects, which belong to 80,000 large and medium-sized temples. In the case of the Hakuba family, most of them are
If a certain monastery of the same sect has an extra heir, it will send one to be an adopted son-in-law, Shinsou Saburo. This may be the case. The extra boy in the family was sent to the Hakuba family early to become a disciple of the Hakuba sect. Most likely, he misses Ningzi.
long time.
At least, I must have dreamed of taking control of the White Horse family!
Although Chihara Rinto is not a monk by profession, he has carefully studied the TV series "9 to 5: The Monk Falls in Love with Me" and has some understanding of this. In it, the male protagonist's planned blind date is the daughter of another temple, and the second daughter is also
The three girls can’t remember clearly, but they are similar in nature to Saburo Shinsou, and they also practiced bridal training in the temple of the male protagonist’s family.
He answered directly: "No one in my family is a monk, not your peers, but what's the problem with that?"
"Then why do you think you are qualified to marry Ningzi? Do you think running a temple is easy?" Shinsou Saburo looked very serious. He relied on his superiority to Qianhara Rinto and wanted to overpower him. "Ningzi's marriage is not
This is not her personal matter, it involves the inheritance of a temple with a long history, can you bear this responsibility?"
Qianhara Rinto smiled and said: "I can, but you must say that you have nothing to prove, and you want to compare with me... We are all men, tell me honestly, what do you want to compare?"
Shinsou Saburo looked at Ningzi and saw that she was smiling and did not object. He became more courageous. He thought for a while and said: "For example, if you are doing things and chanting sutras, you don't know how to do it, so let me see your perseverance and
Our comparison of courage is simpler, it’s like fighting rice cakes, but I won’t bully you, as long as you can fight one-tenth of my strength, even if you win, I will never say no to you when you inherit the White Horse family!"
Michiko looked at Chihara Rinto's thin figure, and then looked at the muscles under Shinsou Saburo's straight body. This guy's breasts were bigger than those of ordinary women, and she immediately said angrily: "This is not fair at all. You are used to it. My master used to do it."
I’ve never done it before, let’s try another one and compare it to others!”
Shingo Saburo glanced at her and sneered: "He only needs one-tenth of my strength. How is that unfair? I just want to see if he has the perseverance to insist on wielding the gavel..." He said to Michiko
After saying this, he ignored her and turned to Qianhara Rinto and said: "Do you dare? It doesn't matter if you don't dare!"
He didn't think his objection was useful, but he felt very unhappy because he just wanted to make a fool of himself. It was disgusting and disgusting. He didn't even ask Chihara Rinto to get out if he lost!
Qianhara Rinto thought for a while and asked with a smile: "It's possible to compete, but you have nothing to do with Ningzi and I, so there's no point in saying no. This bet is a bit unfair."
Shingo Saburo didn't expect that Chihara Rinto would dare to say such a thing. He had personally seen Chihara Rinto's poor performance just now, and laughed and said: "Then what do you want?"
"If you lose, you are not allowed to say a word to Ningzi in the future... Don't look at me like that, I'm just so stingy, and I don't need you to let me, let's play fair!" Qianhara Rinto took off his coat and said with a smile.
: "If you are willing, let's start!"
This is a completely useless thing, just a matter of idle talk, but he doesn't mind at all!
Boy, I want to make my current girlfriend look embarrassed, let’s see who gets embarrassed!
