The man rescued from Kabukicho

Hearing this, Yijiyuan responded normally: "Really?"

Ci Lang looked at him: "Why do I feel that you already know?"

"I am the head of the family. The bodyguards will report the abnormal situation where the eldest daughter of the next generation plays truant from school."

Ijuin explained it this way.

It turned out to be the case.

However, since abnormal situations such as truancy will be reported directly to Yijiyuan, in this way, Yijiyuan still pays more attention to the niece?Is it because of her status as the eldest daughter of the next generation?So, what does Ijuin think of her current situation?Yesterday, Yijiyuan acted as if something had nothing to do with it.

Ci Lang thought about it for a while, and asked for confirmation first: "Will the bodyguard report to you every time she plays truant from school?"

"No," Ijuin picked up a piece of thin and transparent sashimi and lightly tapped it in the soy sauce dish, "Yesterday was the first time she skipped school."

the first time?

Cirou was very surprised.

The girl in the daytime acted like she was used to skipping school no matter how she looked at it, and she couldn't tell that this was the first time skipping class.There was another contrast, and Cilang didn't know what to say for a while.

"Is everyone in your family good at acting?" Finally Cilang couldn't help complaining.

Yijiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and he couldn't tell if he was joking in his indifferent voice: "Smart ones will."

Is this kind of statement that can't be refuted?

Ci Lang asked, "What about the ones who are not smart?"

"Yes." Yijiyuan continued to answer in a flat tone, "it's just that the acting is not good."

It sounds like it's true.

Ci Lang thought for a moment, but still couldn't tell the difference, and asked hesitantly, "Are you joking or are you serious?"

Yijiyuan asked indifferently: "So I seem to be joking?"

Completely led away by Yijiyuan, Cilang, who forgot all the confusion and grief and indignation just now, complained with some distress: "It doesn't look like it, so I don't understand!"

Looking at Cilang who was thinking hard, Yijuin deliberately prolonged his voice and said, "Saza, is it right?"

At the end, Yijiyuan seemed to chuckle.

But when Cilang raised his eyes to look, the man had lost his expressionless expression again.

And when he met Shangjirou's gaze, the man's eyes seemed to have no idea why Cirou looked up.

This wicked cat!

Sure enough, it is very good at acting, no matter whether other Yijiyuan can do it or not, this Yijuyuan definitely can.

Oh, and the little one too.

Cilang looked at Yijiyuan unwillingly, his whole body was a little listless.He maintained the posture of supporting his head with his hands, and thought for a long time. When Yijiyuan put down his chopsticks, he made a sound to attract Yijiyuan's attention: "I said, that evil Mr. Cat over there."

Yijiyuan looked at him, raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not refute the title.

So Cilang couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he asked: "Yesterday your niece said, 'People who get entangled with our Yijiyuan will not end well'. In this sentence, she said during the day that she still has trouble with your grandparents." The dean's matter is related... Isn't this a momentary remark of hers? What does she mean?"

After all, he doesn't trust Yijuin Gongxian very much, and wants to hear an explanation from Yijuin.

In fact, if it wasn't for the girl who came to the dessert shop during the day and reminded him of this sentence, he didn't even plan to explore it.

After all, there is only Yijuin Kazumi who is related to Jirou, and it just so happens that Yijuin Kazumi is the person Mochizuki Jirou trusts the most in this world.

So there is no need to investigate.

The only thing Cirou was unsure about was whether Yijiin would think this question was stupid, and then tease himself, deliberately not giving an answer like before.

But unexpectedly, Yijuin seemed to be serious, and said solemnly: "If you want to know, it's better to start from the beginning, the story will be very long."

story?He likes to listen to stories.

"I have time," Cirou responded enthusiastically.

As if seeing a golden retriever, Yijuin pricked up his ears, stuck out his tongue, panting urgently.

cute.

Yijiyuan said solemnly again in that indifferent voice: "Because it is a family affair of the surname Yijiyuan, so if you want to hear it, you must first write a confidentiality agreement on the blank page of the notebook that will not be disclosed, and sign it. Get your name and leave it to me."

real or fake?

Jiro, who had been deceived, looked at Yijuin suspiciously and studied Yijuin's expression.

According to common sense, it seems a bit ridiculous, but maybe the secrets of wealthy families are so unrevealed?

"You, aren't you lying to me?" Cilang opened the notebook, thought for a while, and asked Yijiyuan defensively.

"How come?" Yijuin's denial was quite indifferent.

"Well, how do you write the non-disclosure agreement?"

"Just properly write 'I, Mochizuki Jirou, will never tell a third person about the Ijuin family affairs I heard from Ijuin Kazumi'. Remember to sign."

Write it according to the style that Yijuin said, sign it, Jiro took off the loose leaf, and handed it to Yijuin with some hesitation, but Yijuin still looked very serious, not only took it, but also folded it a few times and put it in the shirt in the pocket.

Seems to be true.

Cilang has a new understanding of the secrets of wealthy families. So the exaggeration in the TV series is not exaggerated enough?

"So, let's start tonight with the story of my great-grandparents."

As soon as Yijiyuan opened his mouth, Cilang listened attentively, and was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Isn't it the story of grandparents and Granny Fengzao? Do you want to go further?"

"Didn't you say to 'start from the beginning'?"

"Oh, you go on."

Cirou stuck out his tongue.

"My great-grandmother was British. When she came to Tokyo, she claimed to be the daughter of a minor nobleman, and said that her father was Baron Howerton, and her name was Lily. Because her parents liked oriental culture very much, she was too orphaned after she became an orphan. In the memory of her parents, she decided to come to Japan with a merchant ship. This kind of rhetoric made her warmly welcomed and sought after.

"She met my great-grandfather at a Western dance.

"My great-grandfather was of mixed race, and his grandmother was Spanish, but because she was a slave bought from a foreign merchant ship anchored in Nagasaki Port, her beauty was not respected, and his grandfather's behavior of marrying a beautiful slave girl was punished. The reputation of the Yijiyuan family was damaged by the widespread criticism of the upper class, and it did not improve much until the great-grandfather became an adult.

"Perhaps because of growing up in such a public opinion environment, my great-grandfather is said to be a serious and traditional man who attaches great importance to reputation.

"I don't know the specific process, but in short, they quickly fell in love and got married."

Yijuin's cold voice, when telling a story, has a kind of magic that attracts people to keep listening.

Moreover, the story of great-grandparents is a romantic tale with exotic flavors no matter how you hear it.

Cilang listened with gusto.

"According to the records, when my great-grandmother married into the Yijiyuan family, although she brought only one servant, she had a lot of wealth. step up.

"My great-grandmother liked parties, loves to be lively, and was very charming. According to people at the time, even though she was a married woman and her son was old enough to go to school, there were still many people who secretly admired her. She treated these admirations The latter is quite ruthless and only cares about her husband, but this devotion makes her even more popular.

"Because she likes cats very much, cats also like to be close to her, and because her green eyes are like cats, she was nicknamed 'Mrs. Cat' by children, and it was widely spread in the upper class. It is said that When she accompanied the female official into the imperial residence to meet the queen, she sat idle under the imperial concubine's palace next to her, and she even took the initiative to mention her nickname."

Hearing this, Cilang couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, my ancestors are cat lovers. The nickname 'Mrs. Cat' is too cute. She must be a very gentle and kind lady."

"Really?" As if he didn't want to hear Cilang praise other Yijuin, Yijuin raised his voice indifferently, "Didn't it mean that cats will only take the initiative to get close to indifferent people?"

Ci Lang didn't believe this kind of nonsense, and asked instead: "How can you believe this kind of nonsense?"

Yijuin was noncommittal and continued to tell the story of the cat lady.

"Then one day, a new missionary saw her at a banquet for the first time, and immediately turned pale with fright, and shouted that she was a well-known wanted criminal in Britain, Miss Elizabeth Bolton, who brutally killed her father and stepmother, Not some Lily Howerton.

"Seeing that the reputation of the Yijiyuan family was going to suffer again, my great-grandfather naturally interrogated my great-grandmother's servant strictly. My grandfather, at the request of my great-grandfather, listened at the scene of the interrogation. My grandfather told me that the servant at that time admitted that he It was the slave she bought when she left the English port, not the domestic manservant, that is to say, the manservant had no idea where this Miss Lily Howerton lived before she bought him.

"But this valet knew one thing. He said that Miss Lily Howerton had let him choose a route at random, and she didn't come to Japan on purpose. That is to say, what she said was 'because of reminiscing about her parents who liked oriental culture. So the 'reason for coming to Japan' is a lie."

Unexpectedly, the romantic story turned into suspense, Ci Lang was stunned, and urged: "And then?"

"My grandfather was only 13 years old at the time, and he didn't know the content of the conversation between his parents in the study alone. He only knew that the missionary later changed his words and said that he had admitted the wrong person. The manservant, soon Then he fell into the water and died. Whispers are still circulating in private, at least on the surface, this incident is over. But his parents, after that, the relationship is no longer the same, and his mother seems to be unable to bear this blow, Three years later, he died of illness in the Kyoto Annex."

"Before she died, she grabbed the hand of her 16-year-old son and asked him to swear that after he won the position of head of the family, he must drive away every woman who tried to get his mother's position. She wanted her husband to live alone."

The ending of the story was so tragic, Cilang was defenseless and was too shocked to speak.

What is the truth about a couple who ended up in such a fate?If Ijuin's grandfather didn't know, maybe no one ever will.

Yijiyuan hadn't finished the story yet, and concluded by saying, "In the end, my grandfather agreed to her and made an oath as my mother asked."

?

Cirou couldn't believe it.

Although I can understand the lady's mood, no matter what, there is no reason for the mother to let the son take care of the father's bedroom?And the son agreed?

But how could this be managed?Does the son want to restrict the father's personal freedom?

Yes, it should be to comfort the dying mother and let her rest in peace.

"Is it out of comfort?" Ci Lang, who had figured it out, asked with a sigh.

"No," Ijuin said quietly, "he did."

what?

At this time, Yijiyuan's cell phone rang.

Jirou's mind was in a mess, Yijuin didn't avoid him, but he didn't pay attention to what was being said on the phone.

After a short conversation, Yijiyuan put the phone back on the table and asked coldly: "Yijiyuan Gongxian is in the hospital now, do you want to see her?"

What's the matter? !

Because of the meeting during the day, Yijiin Gongxian was still in a good mood when he returned to the mansion after school.

Until her father, Shinichiro Ijuin came home from get off work and walked into her room.

"Keep away from school to meet that man? What do you want to do? Huh? Get Ijuin Kazumi's attention?" Ijuin Shinichiro asked angrily.

Yijiyuan Gongxian said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with you, trash."

Hearing that word, Shinichiro Ijuin's veins twitched and he lost control: "I wish I had nothing to do with you! You cold-blooded monsters!"

Hearing this, Yijiyuan Gongxian's eyes turned gray, and after a while, he suddenly laughed.
