Chapter 17 Chapter two

I wanted to go out immediately, but my mother-in-law refused to let me go. She insisted that Ms. Yingzi must change her clothes before going out, so I waited for a whole hour.Before my mother goes out, she is always in a hurry. I can understand that it takes some time for a woman to go out, but I have always been curious, what exactly do women do in the room? After eating the homemade pudding, the ice cubes in the iced black tea had all melted into water, and my smartphone had only one battery left, so my mother-in-law finally let Miss Yingzi out. "Hmph, my mother-in-law is always exaggerating, isn't she just going to get some flowers?"

Miss Sakurako said angrily.She put on light makeup on her face, and put on a one-piece white dress. The style is a one-piece dress that is popular nowadays. The color is not pure white, but a touch of off-white—that is, the color of bones. This is Miss Yingzi's favorite. Love.She wears a denim short jacket, a white lace-trimmed straw hat, and sandals. This outfit looks like an out-and-out young lady. "What are you looking at?" Seeing that I was fascinated by watching, Miss Yingzi gave me an unhappy look. "It's okay..." I replied an octave higher. Realizing again that Ms. Sakurako is a great beauty makes me inexplicably nervous.

"Then let's go." Ms. Sakurako got into the car, and her favorite heavy metal band "Sacred Ghost Mk-II" was still playing in the car. The lead singer, Lord Diabel, yelled "Infringement! Rip!", which disappointed me completely.It seems that Miss Yingzi is still Miss Yingzi in Beijing. The car was driving in the dark sky, I thought we were going directly to the rose garden, but Ms. Sakurako's Kangoo was driving to the quiet mansion area of ​​Kaguracho, which made me a little at a loss. "Go to Mrs. Qiangzi's house first." Before I asked a question, Ms. Sakurako gave the answer, and then kept turning the steering wheel in a familiar way.I was worried that it might rain if I went too late, so I checked the weather with my smartphone first. I didn’t expect the sky to be so dark, but the weather said it was cloudy to sunny, with a 30% chance of rain, so it will clear up soon?I turned to watch the video website, watched and watched, the car passed through a gate, and the decoration was so gorgeous that I was surprised, it seemed that this was Mrs. Qiangzi's home.

"It's really impossible for the house to be built next to the rose garden." "The couple who live next door to the rose garden are the gardeners hired by Mrs. Qiangzi. They are very good at growing roses and can fill the entire yard. Mrs. Huozi knows a little bit about gardening, but she is an operator after all, and she won't take care of the flowers all by herself. " "Oh, yes, it's too hard for one person to take care of such a big garden." Roses in particular need to be taken care of. I heard that foreign nobles like to grow roses in their gardens. As long as the roses bloom beautifully, it means that the mansion has hired a capable gardener, which is also a symbol of status.

I came to the mansion of Mrs. Chiyoda Kyoko, the proprietress of the rose garden, and the maid in front of the main entrance said, "Madam is in the yard." Miss Sakurako strode into the yard without thinking, and I followed closely behind.The yard is full of sweet floral fragrance, with red, white, yellow and other colorful roses blooming.We passed through the arch of white roses, and in front of a rose tree with small red flowers stood a woman in gloves and scissors. Women should be forty-five or six years old, right?Wearing a plastic apron and a large farm hat that covers the entire face, her slender body is wearing an elegant brown one-piece dress; when she spotted us, she blinked and then showed a dignified and steady smile.Ms. Yingzi stepped forward to pay her respects, and I followed suit.This should be Mrs. Qiangzi.

Ms. Yingzi's smile is invincible and lovely, and Mrs. Qiangzi's smile is also very beautiful. There are charming dimples at the corners of her mouth, and she seems to be several years younger when she smiles. "Yingying!" Mrs. Qiangzi shouted, put the scissors on the ground, and walked towards us quickly. "Hey, you kid always comes here without making a sound!" Mrs. Qiangzi said, holding a few roses in one hand, and gently hugging Miss Yingzi with the other, her lady-like demeanor was quite different from Miss Yingzi. On the other hand, although Ms. Yingzi temporarily abandoned her usual jeans and men's shirts and put on the lady's clothes her mother-in-law took care of, she still looked relatively unrestrained and unrestrained.

When Ms. Sakurako visits relatives and friends, she doesn't seem to contact her in advance.She looked at me in a daze, and told Mrs. Qiangzi indifferently: "Tomorrow I want to see my uncle." Mrs. Qiangzi likes Miss Yingzi very much, and she doesn't mind her uneducated attitude at all (probably because she is too good-natured), she doesn't even say a word of correction, and gently combs her long black hair with her fingers. "I see." Mrs. Qiangzi nodded amiably, but then frowned and said with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, there just happened to be a guest today."

"It's okay, we'll leave as soon as we finish taking the flowers we need." Miss Yingzi went on to say, "Just help me contact Mr. and Mrs. Xidao." The Nishijima couple should be the gardener couple who manage the rose garden.I glanced at them, and then saw the little purple flowers planted next to the roses, or rather, bumble bees working hard around the little flowers. "It's rare for you to come, but I can't personally choose flowers for you. I'm sorry." No, no, it was the fault of Ms. Yingzi who came here without notice——I murmured in my heart, but I didn't say it, because this is really not something that I, an outsider, should intervene in.After the two started to leave, I hurried to catch up, and Madam Qiangzi found me.

"You are 'Master' Luo?" "what?" "Aze often mentions you." I hurriedly bowed and saluted, Madam Qiangzi laughed when she saw it.I didn't know who Aze was at all, so I could only laugh dryly, but she didn't care, and went straight to the mansion. "Who is Ze?" "Mother-in-law." We followed Mrs. Qiangzi, and I secretly asked Miss Yingzi who was "Aze".Thinking about it carefully, only my mother-in-law would call me "Master".Is this the lady circle?In short, the relationship between Mrs. Qiangzi and Miss Yingzi seems to be really good.

Mrs. Qiangzi said to the maid at the door: "Call Mr. Nishijima." Then she took off the gloves with some difficulty. The gloves were made of beautiful floral cloth from the wrist to the elbow, and leather below the wrist. "A rose has thorns." Ms. Sakurako said to me in a low voice, but isn't this a matter of course?On second thought, she was probably explaining gloves to me.Roses have thorns, so use thick leather gloves. Mrs. Qiangzi told the maid first, and then started talking on the phone. I just took the opportunity to appreciate the decoration of the mansion.Ms. Sakurako’s house is more like a bungalow built by the Japanese, while Mrs. Qiangzi’s house is a complete bungalow. The walls and floors are made of bright wood, which lives up to the title of Asahikawa’s “Tree City”. There is a grand staircase in the main entrance hall, which is worthy of a mansion .

The home is full of paintings and statues by local artists such as Teijiro Nakahara, Sazawa Beach, etc., which makes me feel happy, as if the spirit of the owner of the mansion is always by his side, and other small places besides the decoration are also integrated into his personal preferences . "This is my husband's preference." I was fascinated by the delicate geometric figures unique to the statue of Sand Zebiqi, but I didn't notice Mrs. Qiangzi standing behind me. "He said that these works buried indomitable perseverance and enthusiasm, which can motivate himself not to admit defeat." "Well, I agree, these works seem to have a life force, or a primordial force in the human body..." The lady smiled happily when she heard this, and then she had an idea, and said to Ms. Yingzi: "Yes! Yingying, you should join us too!" "Participating in what?" Miss Yingzi raised her eyebrows in surprise, while Mrs. Qiangzi covered her mouth and smiled narrowly. "Tonight, there will be a psychic meeting in the living room at home." "A psychic meeting?" "You know Mizuki City Councilor, right? He said before that he knew a friend who can be psychic, so I asked him to do it once. Rose, I will ask Mr. Nishijima to send it to your house, how about it?" Mrs. Qiangzi said this to Ms. Yingzi first, and then patted me on the back. "You come too, only Yingying is alone, maybe Aze will be worried." "Oh……" Want to hold a psychic meeting?The way the ladies pass the time is also very special.I was suddenly invited to participate in a confusing ceremony, and I didn't know how to respond. "I'm not interested." Miss Yingzi was the same, straight to the point. "Don't say that, the opportunity is rare, you must participate!" "I reject." "Don't bully people like this!" Mrs. Qiangzi took off her hat and pouted angrily. She couldn't tell her age once she took off her hat. I think she is more cute than beautiful?She can't be said to be a peerless beauty, but she is a cheerful and kind heartthrob. "The thing is like this. There was a friend from the tea party who was going to attend today's event, but her husband suddenly felt unwell last night, so it is inconvenient to participate. There is another lady who is going to come, but I am not too hot , I always feel uneasy..." "Can't we simply cancel the event?" "Don't say that, Mr. Mizuki has a good relationship with Akito, and I also have some friendship with me. Not all people in society are as free and easy as Sakura." I couldn't help but nod my head. "Okay, come to Su?" "Sorry, I have an appointment with Naoe to have dinner tonight." "Oh, I'm here to call, as long as I say no, the kid won't dare to talk back." In the end, Mrs. Qiangzi insisted, and told the maid: "Call Zhizhi." Unexpectedly, I kindly refused to be a light bulb, and brother Zaiyuan was still doomed not to have dinner with Miss Yingzi. "So... she also knows Zai Yuangeluo?" I asked in a low voice. "That's right, Mrs. Qiangzi is quite different in age from Naoe, but Madam has no children, and she likes to take care of Naoe, and Naoe often comes here for summer vacation." "Ah, so it turns out." I finally understand, I have heard about the childhood memories of Miss Yingzi and Brother Jaehara. If Brother Zaiyuan would come here for the summer vacation, it wouldn't be a surprise that Ms. Yingzi would come to play.With years of friendship, even if Ms. Yingzi behaves badly, she can be regarded as a "naughty child" at best. "It's my cousin..." I suddenly noticed that Mrs. Qiangzi looked a bit like Brother Zaiyuan, but I couldn't describe where she looked.Ms. Yingzi said that only one-eighth of the genes between the cousins ​​are the same, so they will not look exactly the same, but they are relatives after all, and indeed Xiao can tell that they are somewhat similar. "Really, psychic sessions are boring." But we had no choice, the maid had already called Brother Jaehara, and Miss Yingzi sighed helplessly while complaining. "No way, you can come too." "What, I want to participate too?" "Next time, I will reward you by treating you to sushi from 'Xianyuan'." "Huh... ah, okay." Oops, I was hooked by food again!In the face of high-end sushi, how can I refuse? Brother Zayuan took me to eat "Zen Yuan" once. It is located on the edge of Sanliu Street in the downtown area of ​​Asahikawa City. It is a famous sushi restaurant. All the customers who come to the door are wearing high-end suits. It was reported on TV programs. There is no menu in the store, and Zaiyuan brother paid more than 30,000 yen for only two servings (almost all of which I eat), which scared me so much that I almost passed out. However, that is really the best sushi I have ever eaten in my life, tears are about to fall, no wonder some customers come to Hokkaido from far away to eat, no wonder it will be listed in a world-renowned food information magazine, I It is natural to be unable to resist its temptation. "Then it's decided." Mrs. Qiangzi looked at me and Miss Yingzi, and said with a smile. Alas, I was fooled by food again, so stupid.
