Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 410: There are no good people in the Kujo family! 1
Located right next to the meandering water garden, it feels very cool even in the hot summer.

The atmosphere in the tea room was a bit strange. The young lady and her mother were exchanging questions and answers, but there was no warmth in it; instead, it was very formulaic.

"Does my mother think I shouldn't get married?"

The girl picked up the tea she had brewed and blew on it, the steam rising onto her face.

She has delicate features and a gentle, graceful air about her hometown in the Jiangnan water towns.

Nijo Maki smiled as she looked at her beautiful daughter.

"Of course, Mom wants you to think it through carefully, after all, it's a major life event for you."

The woman tried to touch the other person's head, but the young lady dodged her.

The girl gave her mother a mischievous look.

"Mother."

While Nijo Maki occasionally showed maternal affection, the young lady maintained a completely businesslike attitude.

"You sent me to our clan's residence, wasn't it all for this day?"

Surprise, dissatisfaction, disgust.

A range of expressions that shouldn't appear on a mother's face appeared on Maki Nijo's face, and then the woman said to her daughter, who couldn't hide anything from her.

"The old man is dead."

The woman got up and walked around the Japanese-style room, which was more symbolic than practical.

Many people know that the Kujo family is very powerful, but they don't know exactly how powerful.

"The voices in Congress are mostly those of old men, and many large corporations have to rely on them to survive."

The woman looked into the distance, where there were two study buildings, one black and one white, in the courtyard of the Kujo family.

The white-clad academy received merchants, while the black-clad academy received politicians.

An old man used this method to become the shadow emperor of the country, and his influence was far greater than Long Chuanche could have imagined.

“Although we can move in, I want to make sure that the other members of the family can’t find fault with us.”

Japan is an Eastern country influenced by Confucian literature.

Some people place particular importance on the concept of blood ties.

Although Longchuan Che now bears the surname Longchuan, and although he has been gone for more than ten years.

"The heads of the chambers of commerce under the old man, and the heads of the political parties."

Nijo Maki curled her lips.

"They only recognize their branch."

The branch family in Nagoya controls the largest industrial line, while the main family in Kanto has an incredibly powerful political faction.

Nijo Maki moved closer to the young lady, giving her a look that said, "My good daughter, please help your mother."

"It's just a temporary marriage anyway."

The woman smiled, pursing her lips.

"Once I've sorted out the resources on our side, you can just pick someone you like."

Finding someone you like here could mean getting a divorce or having an extramarital affair.

Natsuko Imamura glanced at her mother and sighed.

What if he doesn't want to?

"Don't want to?"

The woman had a mindset of manipulating Long Chuanche and wanting to exploit him, and she glanced at her daughter's beautiful eyes.

"Then I can only apologize to my sister."

What kind of apology is it? How should I apologize?

Natsuko Imamura glanced at her mother and could only say that power blinds people.

I advise you not to do that.

The girl seemed to be discussing something with her mother, or perhaps making a request to the other party.

“If something happens to him, those people in the Japan Writers Association will go crazy.”

The Japan Writers Association, a literary circle that Taro Ono described as twisted and insane.

It possesses the lofty ideal of "protecting the country and safeguarding life," as well as the most terrifying centripetal force in over a century.

The Japanese government has been led by the nose by those people for half a century. Hearing her daughter's words, Maki Nijo instinctively shuddered.

"So it would be best if he were willing to marry you."

The woman waved her hand, no longer showing the concern she had for her daughter's wishes.

Domineering, indifferent.

Compared to her mother, the other party seemed more like a businessman at this moment.

Ryukawa Tetsu was unaware of what was happening inside the tea room. He was being led by a servant toward what was supposed to be his room. Everywhere there were paintings and calligraphy of the Kano school, with plum blossoms and chrysanthemums being the most numerous.

A plum blossom painting depicts a touch of winter plum blossoms, while a chrysanthemum painting exudes elegance and nobility

"Can I bring my girlfriend in?"

Led by the servants, Long Chuanche said somewhat boredly.

He's been in here for a while now, and the other person will have to take him to shower and change his clothes later.

"It's just a family dinner, why is the process so complicated?"

Long Chuanche was getting impatient; the day before the funeral was a family dinner.

You need to take a bath, burn incense, and most importantly, wear a luxurious kimono that looks like it will last for quite some time.

Longchuan Che missed his number 24 jersey very much at this moment, and more importantly, he didn't want Muzi to wait for him for too long.

The girl was arrogant, but unaware that the old man had faked his death, she felt she needed to keep her two friends company during this sad time.

Yes, my friend, it turns out that Ms. Muzi said she could only be friends with Tatsukawa Toru at most.

His friend, Tatsukawa Tsutomu, sighed again.

"I'm sorry, young master."

Longchuan Che's request made the servant in front of him smile awkwardly.

She seemed to be trying her best to maintain politeness, but also appeared to be in a difficult position.

"Outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard."

The Kujo family home was very large, much larger than Tatsukawa Tetsu had imagined.

The inner quarters alone are as big as three or four football fields, Longchuan Che raised an eyebrow.

"She is my wife, not an outsider."

He shamelessly called Miss Mu Zi his wife, but the servants didn't seem to appreciate it.

A girl in her early twenties gave off an expression that said, "Please don't make things difficult for me."

"You can ask Miss Nijo."

So, whether he could bring people in depended on that difficult woman? Long Chuanche laughed in exasperation.

"Tell me about what has happened in the last two days."

Long Chuanche crossed his arms, curious to know what the old man was up to.

He faked his death to gather his family together, and tomorrow he'll be holding some kind of funeral service.

Do you want to suddenly do it and scare everyone?
Longchuan Che felt that the other party was not so boring.

"Miss Nijo arrived first, followed by the people from the Kyushu branch family..."

It seems that only members of the Kujo family are allowed to enter the inner quarters, but tonight's family dinner is being held at the Shiro-shoin outside.

That was where the old man usually received merchants.

Will anyone else come?

The thought of having many Kujo family members who disliked him made Tatsuki Tatsuya feel extremely uncomfortable.

I was hoping to hear some familiar names, and to my surprise, I did.

"The Takatsukasa family from Kyoto, and the Hojo Trading Company from Kanagawa will also be there."

He didn't care about the Hojo Trading Company or Tatsukawa Tetsu, but he did know the Takatsukasa family.

"Eagle Master or Ruriko?"

These were the only two members of the Takatsukasa family that Tatsukawa Tetsu knew, the guide thought for a moment.

"all come."

The servant's words relieved Long Chuanche; he had heard that family banquets in large families were quite boring.

With the idea of ​​taking Miss Muzi to find some acquaintances to fill a table later, Long Che went into his room.

At this moment, Mr. Longchuan, who was taking a bath, was unaware of this.

More than just two acquaintances came from the Takatsukasa family.

Concubine Takeda, Takako Takeda.

The two members of the Takeda family also wanted to come and see the old man's funeral.

And at this time.

Before the banquet at the Kujo family began.

The Takeda sisters and Ms. Muzi have already run into each other.

Muko and Takeda Maki looked embarrassed.

The woman smiled and waved to the girl.
