Chapter 37 Section Fourteen

In addition to Ade's lunch box, there are all kinds of seafood on the table.Heishiro was stunned to see shellfish that he had never seen before in Edo, fish heads with wide-open gills on the sashimi plate, etc. Because of gluttony, he only focused on the food—naturally not, but it was difficult for Heishirou to judge how to face Soichiro Minaya who was sitting in front of him. Since he is a small official and is naturally lazy and informal, the ordinary Heishiro will not feel uncomfortable in front of anyone.However, this time is slightly different, and if anyone is to blame, he can blame the passage that Jiubei told him earlier.

Soichiro is not like Minaya Soemon, he is so different in appearance and body shape that it is hard to tell that they are father and son. Although Soemon was not tall, he had strong bones and a solid figure at first glance, but he didn't have the thick and thick branches that men of this kind of physique often had.His facial features are delicate, his nose is hanging like a bridge, and the corners of his slender Danfeng eyes are full of intelligence and enlightenment, showing a talent. Soichiro also has a handsome face, but the feeling is different.People in the world often say that it is obvious that a man has a woman's face, or a woman has a man's face.Father Soemon has the face of a man among men, but Soichiro has the face of a woman.

And it's the cute and pitiful type.Big eyes, soft lips, plump cheeks, and a small nose like a doll. If you really say it, it's more like Gong Zhisuke who has nothing to do with it.Although it is not as beautiful as the bow, but if it is classified, it should be classified on the same side. Soichiro was tall and fragile, and easily reminiscent of a woman.It is too much to describe it as a willow waist, but it still looks like a dance master, and the fingers that are glimpsed by chance are long and beautiful. Does it look like Ateng? When Heishiro thought of this, he felt that the corners of his eyes and brows seemed familiar.The boy was like his mother when he was a child, and maybe he looked exactly the same before.Now that he is a grown man, it is hard to say that he resembles his mother.

It can only be said that it is still like Gongzhisuke. Kyubei read out the menu attached by Hikoichi one by one as if nothing had happened, and explained the contents of the lunch box to Soichiro as if boasting of his own achievements.Soichiro either squinted or marveled in admiration, and agreed one by one.During the conversation, Soichiro inadvertently called Jiubei "Grandfather Jiu", and Heishiro said "Oh" in his heart. The wine was brought to the table.Under the auspices of Jiubei, the maids serve dishes attentively. "Come on, Mr. Izutsu, please don't be polite."

Sitting at the same table were Heishiro, Soichiro, and Kyubei.For the second time, Xiaohei received the hospitality he deserved among the attendants of the lord in a more relaxed small room.It seemed more pleasant over there, and Heishiro couldn't help but envy him. "In addition to enjoying the big meal this time, I also want to ask the servants here. It's best to talk to Sun Ba again." Heishiro arrogantly said words like a spy or Okahito, but Ade’s lunch box was allotted to him, and there was such a luxurious seafood in front of him. It is difficult to guarantee. "I know very well that it is rude to be presumptuous."

Soichiro touched his lips with the wine glass to make a gesture, then put the wine glass aside, and straightened his sitting posture. "I just came to visit my younger brother, Soujiro. Since my father and Jiubei often mentioned that Master Izutsu has always taken good care of Minato, and when he learned of this good opportunity, he begged Jiubei to let me see Master Izutsu." It was a great honor to be interviewed.What he said was extremely respectful and polite. Even so, that's all for Kyubei, Heishiro was quite surprised to hear that Minaya Soemon had mentioned himself to his son.What did he say?Just thinking about it gave me a slight chill.Heishiro smiled smugly, picked up his wine glass and Choshi signaled that the blunt polite words would stop here, and Soichiro held up his wine glass to respond cautiously.

No, I just have distracting thoughts in my mind.Unlike his father, Soichiro had nothing in common, either in voice or in the way he spoke. It's not a good thing after all. Besides, what does Minaya mean by "care"?How much did Soemon reveal to his eldest son?It's impossible to tell him everything about Lian Kui and the riots in Tie Ping Courtyard that resulted from it.Soichiro is Atou's man. Thinking of this, how old is Soichiro?Younger than Sakichi, maybe in his early twenties, or in his twenties, right?Even so, he is still a little too young. To be called a small boss, he is still immature and unreliable.

Looking at those beautiful hands, it is inevitable to think that he is a playboy, but he has never heard such rumors.His second generation was originally unable to compare with Soemon, the capable man who built a small house with his bare hands, but when he was mentioned, they were all evaluations of "studying the way of business seriously". Heishiro was thinking about these trivial matters in his head, while listening to Soichiro and Kyubei talking about the places of interest here.The atmosphere during the banquet was harmonious, and the food and drink were delicious. Taking advantage of the gap in the conversation, Heishiro suddenly asked:

"By the way, I just mentioned that the second young master Soujiro's condition is not ideal, so young master Soichiro must be very worried." Taking advantage of moving his chopsticks, Soichiro glanced at Jiubei.Jiubei also noticed his gaze, but didn't give any hint. "Thank you for your concern, sir." Soichiro once again thanked him respectfully. "It is said that it is not good for people around you to worry too much about a disease like qi depression. Half of the time I came down to visit Soujiro was an excuse. In fact, I wanted to come here to eat delicious fish, forget about business, and sneak away for a night or two. "

Heishiro smiled. "Why do you say that! You brothers have such a good relationship." "Mei Ling is getting married too, so there are only two left, Shimo and Soujiro." "Don't you marry a wife?" Soichiro looked at Jiubei with a shy smile, and Jiubei picked up Ade's marinated egg with the tip of his chopsticks and did not respond. "I'm afraid no one is willing to marry a young person like me." "Will it? I think it's not a problem for you to be the leader alone? It's time for your father to retire and let you take charge of the overall situation."

"Where is it? Only with my father can I have a house. I can't even replace my father's shadow." Don't say replace, now you are the shadow of your father!Heishiro thought to himself—he would be stepped on by his father at any time. At this time Heishiro suddenly remembered: I know another person who looks exactly like Soichiro.It's not about looks, but about this polite and modest attitude, always somewhat fearful of the world. That's Zoji.And it was Sakichi who was in Tie Ping Zayuan before marrying Ah Hui and walking out of his own way. What kind of supernatural power does Minaya Soemon have to train the men next to him to look like this? In contrast, women are much stronger. Aoi accepted Soemon's love and protection, but she didn't lose herself because of him.Soemon's life is actually partly controlled by Aoi.On the other hand, Atou's life is actually a history of war with a man named Soemon. Although he has been defeated almost repeatedly, Soemon has never won a happy game, and the war is still going on.Although Ateng's heart has left the secular world and drifted to a misty foreign country, her fate more or less made Soemon feel guilty. Because of Soichiro's son, he had to bear that guilt. Heishiro thinks of Minato's only daughter, Misuzu.She once ran to Tie Ping Za Yuan and said she would be Saji's wife.At that time, the girl had the cheerfulness of "not caring about her parents". Now she has married to a strange land according to her father's arrangement.I don't know if her vivaciousness is still the same? "How is Meiling doing recently?" Heishiro put down his glass and asked Soichiro. "Have you arrived in the West Country?" "No, it's been delayed a little bit, and I'm still living in Edo with my adoptive parents." Soichiro replied immediately. "Because the other party is still in Edo." "Is it a famous person?" Most of them were daimyos who raised money from Minaya. "Yes. When I return to China next spring, I will take Meiling back with me. Master Izutsu also knows Meiling, right?" "Well, it's just that I'm not familiar with you." "Sister Sister is lively and mischievous. She really isn't a very suitable concubine for a daimyo. She is currently being strictly disciplined by her adoptive parents." Soichiro's words were harsh, but his expression was quite gentle.It's useless for Mei Ling to dislike her brothers, but at least Soichiro doesn't seem to hate Mei Ling. "This is a marriage decided by your father. I don't know what she wants?" Soichiro seemed to recall the past, showing emotion in his eyes. "In the beginning, I was reluctant in every possible way, arguing to run away from home." That young lady is indeed very likely to do so. "It's just that, although sister She is a wild girl, she's not stupid. It's a bragging for my brother to say this." "No, I also think Mei Ling is a smart girl." "Thank you for the compliment." Soichiro saluted. "Sister She yelled not to marry according to her father's wishes, and she kept contradicting her. I couldn't help but feel worried when I saw it, so I called Meiling to my side and persuaded her as an elder brother." However, Mei Ling said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I know how important I am." "She said, even if she ran away from home, she was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, so how could she live on her own? Since no matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape the huge shadow of the house, it's better to leave here and live a happy life in a place where your father can't control. Don't Don't worry, I will marry far away." These words somewhat smack of self-defeating.Not being able to marry Saoji, but making Saoji shy away, is the only setback in this young lady's life. After all, she must be a little hurt. "However, the adoptive parents seem to like her very much." Soichiro smiled. "Mei Ling is very short-sighted." Without glasses, walking three steps will bump into the water bottle in front of you. "At first, the adoptive mother severely reprimanded her, saying that it was worthless for a thousand-dollar daughter to wear glasses, but now she laughs and says that they are also considered pretty. As the saying goes, women are most beautiful when viewed from a distance, at night, and under a straw hat, and myopia is also counted among beauties. List it." Heishiro couldn't help laughing. "As the saying goes, if you want to be attractive, a man must have a cold and a woman must hurt her eyes!" It doesn't matter to Meiling, no matter where she is, she can find her own world.Now that Ateng has become like that, it would be happier to simply walk away.Heishiro breathed a sigh of relief. At the beginning, although Jiubei was extremely polite, he still ate the dishes in Ade's lunch box with one chopstick after another. At this moment, he suddenly looked around the banquet, as if he felt something was wrong, he got up and left the room.Heishiro watched him leave indifferently. As soon as Kyubei left the table, Soichiro sat down again. "Uncle Izutsu." Here we come—Heishiro thought to himself, this is really a grand banquet, what is Soichiro going to say? "Please use more." Soichiro greeted him courteously, but he put his hands on his knees. "Earlier, Jiuhei seemed to have told Uncle Izutsu about all the housework in the house, it's really insulting..." Then I said, I am very sorry.Heishiro put the sashimi in his mouth, chewed and tasted it carefully, and swallowed it. "I'm really ignorant," Heishiro smiled, "Such a good sashimi, there is actually too much soy sauce, too much green onion and ginger." Soichiro still looked serious. "Well, I heard that and was surprised." Heishiro said. "You might not be Soemon's kind." Heishiro deliberately said it vulgarly.But Soichiro was unmoved and just nodded silently. "'Maybe' is purely whitewashing words. I am not the flesh and blood of Minaya Soemon. I am afraid there is no such different father and son in the world." "There are fathers and sons who don't look like each other in the world." Soichiro smiled silently.Heishiro avoided his eyes, and thought to himself that "it's really not like, it's really not good", and he seemed to see through it. "It was the first lunar month five years ago, Mrs. Ateng told you, right?" "yes." "Why bother, don't you think?" Soichiro didn't answer, and turned his head slightly to look at the paper door where Jiubei left.The movements are elegant and refined. "Kyubei is an honest man." He lowered his voice even lower than before, and said: "In front of my father and my younger brother, I can't hide anything. It seems that the same is true for Mr. Izutsu, so that he will hear these family scandals. After that, he still can't hide this matter. Just look at his gloomy expression to understand." Even Jiubei, the nagging manager, has nothing to hide from this dry little boss. "To be honest, although this is the first time I have met you like this, I have heard about the name of Master Izutsu from Jiubei many years ago. When Jiubei was the manager of Tieping Zayuan, he often mentioned the matter of Master Izutsu." "I must have heard a lot of bad things about me, saying that I am a fool." Soichiro didn't add Heishiro's joke, and continued calmly: "The land and the rented house are both valuable assets of Minato, and it is best to have a thorough understanding of them. For this reason, a few years ago—yes, before my mother revealed that incident, I have learned from Jiubei. However, five years ago, I found out about my own life experience. Since this is the case... I began to feel that caring about managing the family property of the house seems to be a covetous act." Heishiro stared straight at Soichiro, but Soichiro stared somewhere at the banquet, and continued: "On the other hand, I am also a person with a temper and desires. I have been learning to do business in the house for a long time. Although I am not intelligent enough, I still let my subordinates decide some things. Now that things are up to now, it is too serious to suddenly drop everything and leave. Divided. What's more, my mother still hopes to inherit the family business." "Wait a minute," Heishiro interjected, "According to what I heard from Jiubei, although Madam Atou told you the truth, she didn't tell you what to do, she just asked you to keep this matter in mind." Heishiro believes that this kind of non-compliance is cruel. "That's because," Soichiro stammered, "this is what I told Jiubei. Jiubei is my father's confidant, and he didn't like my mother very much. Although I am young and inexperienced, I still don't want to deepen his dislike for my mother. So, although it is not a lie, it was vague. In fact, my mother said so to me—because I am not the master's own flesh and blood, I hope you will take over the property of the house." Heishiro was not surprised at all, on the contrary, he felt much more refreshed.In terms of Ateng's personality and the results of her past battle with Minato Soemon under the counter, this statement is more reasonable. "I see." Heishiro felt thirsty, but there was only wine during the dinner.I really wanted to drink tea, but I didn't want to interrupt Soichiro, so I had to hold back. "My mother held the hand next to me, and begged: Don't tell anyone about this. Needless to say, the master, don't even let him know that you know about it." Just thinking about it feels painful, Soichiro's expression changed. "My mother would tell this story in the first month of five years ago because she talked about her marriage. After asking for a marriage, getting married and having children, and then becoming the owner of the house—that's the time to lay the foundation for the future , In other words, this is...my mother's plan." "Well, I understand." "However, my father hated this marriage very much, and almost flatly refused it. I mentioned it several times before, but my father always refused it on the grounds that it was 'too early'." "Five years ago, you were eighteen or nine years old, right?" "Yes. Although I am not as good as my father in terms of business, I generally understand it." "So, this time, you can't use the excuse of 'too early' to object, but you still refuse to agree for no reason?" Soichiro said, that's why he felt strange. "And whenever the marriage talks fail, my mother's anger is unusual, and she often speaks ill of my father, and finally..." Call Soichiro and tell him: Your biological father is actually... "My mother said, looking back, the master has been very indifferent to you since he was a child, isn't he? He loves Zoji so much, but his care for you is not even half of his." Indeed.At the beginning, Minato even heard that the family business would be inherited by Sakichi in the future. "And you think that's true?" "My father is indeed very strict with my subordinate. My father is very busy and has less time to take care of the children. Even so, he still has the care and warmth of a father for his younger brother and sister, but he does not even have this for my subordinate." Soichiro's voice was a little hoarse, and the monologue made his throat very hard. "It's just that I think that no matter which business, this is the way to educate the heir. The heir is responsible for the reputation and property of the business. If he blindly pampers him and develops a lazy character, it will shake the foundation of the business. Therefore, my father's discipline is more strict than Soujiro's." It’s much stricter with Meiling——I’m so convinced. I’m young, and I’ve only seen the world under the signboard of the house.” However, reminded by Ateng, while surprised, Soichiro also thought about it, and couldn't help but suddenly realized. "Especially Sakichi—yes, even though I was a child at the time, I was once jealous because my father loved Sakichi too much." Even though he is the son of his niece, Sakichi and Soemon are still connected by blood.Soichiro is different, not only the child of an outsider, but also the son of a hated lover in Soemon's eyes. "I feel that everything is suddenly clear and reasonable." Soichiro continued. "My body seems to be divided into two halves. One half persuades myself that you are no longer qualified to stay in the small house, and you should leave immediately when you know the truth. The other half shouts, ah, how hateful, and wants to take revenge on the father who abused him , the family property of the house is mine.” "It's just..." Swallowing the saliva in his thirsty throat, he continued in a low voice: "My father has been merciful for many years, giving birth to an illegitimate child, and causing my mother to suffer. Although I am disgusted by this, I still comfort myself. This is the way of a wealthy businessman to have fun, and it is also a man's talent. As a son , both sympathized with my mother and felt ashamed of my father's lust. However, after hearing my mother's words, I learned that my father's profligate behavior stemmed from my mother's infidelity—that is, after understanding this..." Soichiro suddenly grabbed the wine glass in his hand and drank it down with his eyes closed.A small glass of wine must not be enough to moisten the throat. He put down his wine glass and opened his eyes, the sockets of which were flushed. "After that, for a while, I spent my days in a ridiculous way." "Huh? Is this really the case?" This time Heishiro was really surprised.When the accident happened in Tie Ping Zayuan, Heishiro entrusted his friend who was secretly returning to Tongxin and nicknamed "Black Bean" to actively inquire about the news of Minato's house, but there were no rumors about Soichiro's behavior at that time. Zong Yilang smiled weakly and said: "Zai Yuan is a cowardly person, and he can't do anything famous. Besides, if I go too far, I'm afraid it will make my mother's situation even more difficult." Heishiro felt a sense of collapse from the bottom of his heart. "You are really in a lot of trouble, just like Zoji." This sentence was blurted out inadvertently, but Soichiro's eyes flashed. "Yes, it's Zoji." As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly. "About two years ago, Jiubing Wei suddenly resigned as the manager of Tieping Zayuan, and he didn't return to Katsumoto. When he came to this villa to look after the house, Sakichi took up the vacancy. This was the arrangement of my father, and he specially asked Sakichi to resign as a flower carpenter .I really can’t calm down in my heart.” Soichiro believes that Minaya Soemon's use of such a tough method is probably to force him to retreat so that Sakichi can inherit the layout. No wonder, Heishiro sighed secretly.Heishiro also thought about it at the time, the manager of the courtyard and rented houses is a very well-paid job. If you don't add suspicion and just look at the facts, it can indeed be regarded as giving him part of the family property through the management of the iron bottle courtyard. Sit back and enjoy the benefits of this estate. "At that time, although Soujiro was not as serious as he is now, his body also began to feel unwell, and he often took leave and couldn't deal with business... This made me even more suspicious." Heishiro propped his hands on his knees, and exhaled heavily through his nose.Soichiro bowed his head quietly. "Zoji will be the manager of Tie Ping Zayuan. Well, there are many difficulties." After saying these words slowly, Heishiro scratched his head immediately realizing that he didn't know how much he could reveal. "It seems so." When he regained consciousness, Soichiro was looking at Heishiro.Although he is young, his eyes are extremely clear.Rather, it is like two mirrors, in order not to reveal the sincerity, carefully polished to a smooth surface without a speck of dust.Those who look into these eyes can only see their own face reflected in them. "Zoji didn't serve as the manager for long, and the Tieping Courtyard was demolished, and the mansion where my mother lived was built. I can't help being suspicious of this series of events, and I always feel that there must be something strange in it. My father and mother are hiding something from me. , Jiubei's behavior is also unusual. So I investigated alone, but I didn't get anything." Of course, how can Soichiro, who has no soldiers under his command, compete with the father who drives Jiubei and the shadow shopkeeper. But—heishiro looked at Ade's half-empty lunch box and thought, when the accident happened in Tieping Zayuan, he was too busy with the affairs here, and he had no spare time to care about how the people in the house thought about this series of troubles , or if anyone would be surprised. "I'm so indecisive, and I've been greedy to join the house so far." He actually said "greedy", as if he had entered a restaurant and brothel, and the house was clearly Soichiro's home. "I can't make any decisions, I can't let go of it but I can't bring it up. I can't abandon my mother, and I can't resist my father. I can't do anything. It's really useless." This kind of self-deprecation is exactly the same as that of Sakichi at that time. "It's just that this year, my mood has changed a bit. I think this can't go on like this, and I have to make a stop to the matter." "What happened to make you think so?" "That new house—what should I say after my mother moved to the place called Fuji House by the lower classes, seems to be suffering from qi depression, which is more serious than Soujiro. Even if I go to visit, I don't mention Minato House anymore. Things like property and inheritance, and not even a bad word about my father." Looking at such a mother, Soichiro couldn't help feeling sad. "I can't help but feel that although I and my mother are living under the signboard of the house, they have never had any happiness. What about the property of the house, what inheritance, it is better to throw everything away and start over. I have to find another way to make a living , do whatever you want, and come to welcome your mother when you can support yourself. This is how I thought about it.” But it is very difficult to make a living by hiding from Soemon and the people in the store, and avoiding the shopping malls where the house is spread all over the place.Zong Yilang believes that at this time, he should not be impatient and act cautiously.However, a decision was made—— "My mother hanged herself." These words escaped from the corner of his mouth and fell quietly.Heishiro nodded slowly, indicating that he knew about it. "Do you know? I really can't bear it. Moreover, my mother's accident happened not long ago, about the middle of this autumn, and my father's appearance became very strange. Not only did he appear in a hurry, he sent Kubei to go out and contacted by letter, and he didn't tell where he was going. Then I left the store for a long time." It was not to go to and from Kui's residence, or to help drive Sun Ba away.If it was such a trivial matter, Minaya Soemon would have been able to hide it from the whole world.It was Aoi's murder that changed his behavior drastically. "One time, I was really scared." Soichiro said with a distant look. "My father was crying in the room. Although he hid his tears, the corners of his eyes were indeed wet." It turns out that Minatoya Soemon is also a human being. Heishiro was greatly moved.When we met at the mansion in Yuxipo, even when Aoi's name was mentioned and memories about her were mentioned, the face that didn't even move her eyebrows turned out to be a mask. "It's ridiculous to say, but I feel very uneasy. Could it be that my father is crying for my mother?" "So, have you confirmed it?" Since it had been a while since Heishiro asked the question last time, Soichiro froze for a moment. "Have you confirmed it with your father?" Heishiro asked again. "No. Up to now, the more I think about it, the more I think it's impossible." "yes?" "Yes." Soichiro shrunk his chin forcefully, nodded, and laughed coldly for some reason. "My father is crying for others, it can't be wrong." Really sharp - Heishiro thought to himself.But is it so?Could it be that in the tears shed quietly by the general right yamen, there really wasn't even a sliver of affection for A Teng? "So, I didn't see my father's tears. I pretended I didn't see it. But this made me make up my mind that I don't want to stay in this kind of house anymore. Enough is enough." For the first time in his life, Soichiro took the initiative to approach his father and asked him to talk to him alone. During the conversation, Soichiro expressed his determination: Thank his father for his care all the time, but Soichiro will leave Minato.The reason should be clear to you.The child will find another way to make a living, and then come to pick up his mother. Heishiro's heart ached for him, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes. "How did your father answer?" "My father said 'whatever you want'." "that's it?" "Yes, but I'm told not to leave without permission until Soujiro recovers from his illness." It's also so selfish. "That's why you came here..." "Yes, let's take a look at Soujiro's situation. Having said that, Soujiro is already suffering from depression, and we can't let him know the reason for this. I will explain to Jiubei that if Soujiro's condition improves, there is hope for recovery. Omen, I am going to leave the house, because... ah, but," he shook his head hastily, and explained: "I didn't follow my father's order to do this, but I just didn't want to add to Soujiro's troubles." Yeah?Heishiro thought again.This is a preposterous statement, an excuse Soichiro used to comfort himself.In fact, even though he has made up his mind, he still can't muster up the courage to leave in a huff, right?That's why he observes the reactions around him like this, surprises Jiubei with his words, and gets some comfort from it.isn't it? Soichiro still secretly hoped that someone would come out to stop him, like hearing Jiubei say "Master, please reconsider", and secretly hoped that Soemon's "whatever you want" didn't come from the heart. Is it too bad to think so? "Jiubi doesn't know your background at all." "It seems so. In the next thought, he must know." Silence fell.Unknowingly, autumn is short, the setting sun is slanting, and the room is full of twilight sunlight.Heishiro thought blankly: I have to go home at night. "This time, I arrived the day before yesterday." Soichiro said. "After seeing Jiubei, I felt that he seemed to have discussed my background with others. So I... different from the past, forcefully questioned Jiubei, and only then did I find out the name of Mr. Izutsu." He must be very puzzled. "Your Majesty reprimands Jiubingwei, why did this matter spread to the ears of the official of the execution office. Although Jiubingwei fell to the ground and apologized, he still insisted that he had a reason to do so." "It's weird, isn't it?" Heishiro said first. "It's really strange." Soichiro also admitted. "If it were me, I would be suspicious." However, there are reasons why it must be done. "Uncle Izutsu." Soichiro begged with half of his face facing the twilight setting sun and half of his face covered with shadows: "Can you tell me the reason? Jiubei said that if Izutsu-san would definitely tell me. So I will wait here. Is there really something that makes Jiubei so persistent..." "How about it?" "It must be related to my father's unusual behavior, my father's tears, or my mother's hanging. Is this just speculation and wild thinking?" "Do you want to know? Are you leaving the small house? Why don't you know?" Soichiro said nothing.This is not giving in, but insisting silently. At this moment, the paper door suddenly opened. "The little one also begs the old man." It was Kubei, with his hands on the ground in front of the threshold. "Master Izutsu, please explain to the young master." Heishiro gasped, staring at Kyubei.Soichiro's body also froze. "You're too cunning, Kubei." Heishiro said with a smile, trying his best to make a mocking laugh. "You tell it yourself! Why, as a confidant, Jiubingwei, he let the word out and apologized to the master, and he must apologize?" Naturally, the experienced Jiubei would not back down because of such a little ridicule. "It's the young one who suggested that the young master should ask Master Izutsu to tell you. The young one firmly believes that it is appropriate." "But..." "From the young ones, it will become an excuse. The young ones will want to hide their shame and sins." "So I implore, sir..." Jiubei said, bowing to the ground. "The master also agreed." Soichiro was so surprised that he almost fell backwards. "Dad agreed?" "Yes, the master ordered to be handed over to Master Izutsu. The master said that this is the most..." Jiubei was still facing downwards, a little speechless. "Most correct." Heishiro couldn't help sighing.Hey, I'm not a storyteller for the small house! However, Soemon would say such a thing, so to me—how should I put it, look at me differently?And that's the "correct" way! No, no, I can't laugh at Ade honestly when I am happy. "If I knew it earlier, I should have brought a big forehead." This sentence blurted out without thinking, which surprised Soichiro. "Leave me alone, I'm talking to myself." Heishiro waved his hand and stared at Jiubei. "Pour tea." "Yes, little one, let's go." "Also," Heishiro looked around the room deliberately exaggeratedly, "Xiao Heiji and I stayed overnight, isn't it inconvenient? You have a lot of vacant rooms here, right?" "Yes, of course." His forehead was still pressed against the tatami mat.Heishiro looked into Ade's lunch box, the delicious omelet was not finished yet. Then don't be shy, let's eat!The following words cannot be finished in a short time.
