I felt like I was sweating a lot because of Takasugi's stare, which almost tried to see through me.

I actually don't know where Takasugi is looking, but I think of the new wrinkles on my forehead when I looked in the mirror a few days ago. I am 40 years old, and it is impossible not to have wrinkles.I think Takasugi is looking there. Once I feel this idea, I am more sure that it is true.So Takasugi stared at my wrinkles like that and asked me, "It's just that there is one thing I didn't expect when I came to Edo this time."

Sitting cross-legged, Takasugi raised one leg and casually rested his arm on the bent knee of that leg.I also don't know if it's necessary for me to always guess the deep meaning of his every action.

"I read the latest newspaper." Gao Sugi said, "Isn't there any guy who spends a lot of money to pursue your lady in the advertising column recently?"

"This..." I smiled awkwardly, "It may be that there are too many people who have been rejected, and everyone knows that this is useless. Mr. Gao Sugi, how can you make fun of this kind of thing? My lady is not married yet .”

Lips and nose moved, Takasugi clearly sneered with disdain, but didn't make a sound.

In fact, I also know.Because my lady is also getting old, the grand courtship that once caused a sensation in the whole city has become history, just like activities like bungee jumping that my lady liked in the past, now, even people who are fascinated by her Also because of her age, she is worried about her reputation being reserved.But in fact, there was a rich man from Osaka who fell in love with my young lady last month. The momentum of courtship was amazing, and he even threatened to goug out the eyes of other suitors.

"The smell of medicine on your young lady's body is much stronger than before." Gao Shan pointedly mentioned another thing.

I know what he is talking about. In order to maintain a beautiful appearance, the lady has many prescriptions, most of which use some herbs.Some are to make the hair more shiny, some are to make the skin more refined, there are whitening teeth, bright eyes, and even some things that I can't talk about as a man.What Takasugi said is that the smell of the medicine has become stronger, which is to remind the young lady of aging, which is similar to the previous problem.

I showed the attitude of the spokespersons on TV, and gave an official answer to protect my lady's dignity to the greatest extent: "Miss pays more attention to health preservation than before. Isn't this a good thing?"

But after thinking about it carefully in my heart, I suddenly felt a sense of dread.

"Your young lady's younger brother, hasn't he come back yet? It's not too long to travel to other countries." Gao Shan held the teacup with one hand, and took a sip as if to quench his thirst.

"As the legitimate son of a big family, there are some things you can't forget."

His other hand clasped the tabletop backwards, making a muffled sound.

He was reminding me that the current head of the Aozora family is Miss.I know, like Master Jingfeng, who only concentrates on studying his own art and never manages the family, the young master can't support this noble family.Miss, she is already aging, and what is even more frightening is that she is just a woman, not a man who was born as a legitimate son like Master Jingfeng.

"However, there is some good news for your young lady." Gao Shan changed the subject, closed his eyelids, and became even more unpredictable.

"A friend of mine seemed to have met your young master that day. It is said that he is already preparing to return home."

What does this mean?The eyeballs rolled around a few times, but I didn't understand it accurately. It's not so much like that, it's more like Gao Sugi's expression of old god on his face that made me puzzled.

"This is really good news," I acted a little surprised, and squeezed my face like a chrysanthemum's creases. I was both physically and mentally prepared and couldn't wait to say: "Have you told the lady?"

Takasugi didn't even lift his eyelids, which made me feel like I was doing nothing.He said softly, "She already knows."

Takasugi stood up and walked around the room.Because of the minimal furnishings, this tea room always looks a bit empty.Only a pair of landscape paintings left by Master Qingkong in the middle of the lady's collection is still eye-catching.Takasugi seemed to suddenly become interested in a decorative vase in the corner, stopped and bent over to touch it.He even fiddled with and studied the patterns on it there.

Gao Shan suddenly said: "There are very few visitors to this tea room."

I noticed sharply that the tips of his fingers with which he had just touched the vase were dusty.

This is a failure of the steward.

I trembled all over and moved my mouth, but I always felt that the explanation I was about to say was not the best.

"You don't need to be nervous." Takasugi said, "After all, in Edo now, there are very few people who can really drink tea and talk with him."

Gao Shan looked at the landscape painted by the old master in the middle.The open river stretches out, the green mountains on both sides are far away and light, and the lonely starry sky is in the middle.

"Master Qingkong is also very lonely."

As if nothing had happened, Takasugi said something very disrespectful for a junior.Not knowing what to think of, Takasugi suddenly became irritable again.

Since the master passed away, it is true that this tea room is rarely used for receiving guests, and it has been idle all the time.As for the old friends of the old master, they rarely communicate with each other in recent years, let alone visit the door, so naturally they will not take care of this teahouse specially.

Gao Shan said to himself: "Your lady doesn't let people smoke at home, it's really annoying!"

To be honest, it seems to be a family motto that the master Aozora has had since he was alive.But now, in this house, including the young lady herself, they don't take that seriously.There are too many guests visiting this house, how can we restrict them in everything?

Actually you can.

I don't know why my lips trembled, but I still couldn't say this sentence. I looked at Takasugi's young face, and was speechless for a while.

"Okay." Gao Shan sat back at the coffee table a little tiredly.

"Take me to see your lady." He ordered.

Passing through the winding corridors of the courtyard but with exquisite landscapes, we returned to the living room, where the lady was sitting there, not knowing what she was thinking.She looked at the big fish tank at home. There were five swimming fish in the transparent glass cover, either pure black or pure red.

Those fish were newly bought by the young lady after raising all the fish bought by the young master to death. It cannot be said that they were raised to death. In fact, we left home for too long, and the fish that no one took care of starved to death.Now those who spit bubbles leisurely in the tank are all koi carp, which are very fat, and the brightly colored fish scales look like pearls and jade under the light of the cold light tube installed in the tank.

It seems that raising these fish is a hobby. In short, the young lady will never leave the fish to others.

Just as the young lady stretched out her finger to touch the approaching fish through the glass, she suddenly spotted us. She looked at Takasugi and smiled slightly.

"Are you finished talking?" the young lady asked, she was still reclining on the sofa, and her slender and clear finger was still pointing at the fish tank.The slight lavender cold light coming out of the glass jar made her complexion look pale.

"Well," Gao Shan nodded casually, then asked with a casual smile, "Is this not the one your brother left before?"

"What about your brother, your brother's..." The lady complained slowly, her voice was clear and pleasant as if it had an echo effect, and there was no vulgarity in that sentence at all, "Xiaofeng is older than you, obviously It’s a friend I played with when I was young, so it’s fine if you don’t want to be called by name, it sounds like a strange name.”

"Well," Takasugi was noncommittal, and repeated the question from a factual point of view, "Are these fish newly bought?"

The lady didn't bother to ask Gao Sugi what to call her younger brother, she replied generously: "Yes."

"I like raising these things since I was a child... You have been dedicated to it for decades, and you never feel tired." Gao Shan finally cast his eyes on those fish, but he seemed a little pitiful, "This time, how long are you going to keep?" ?”

The young lady puffed up her face uncharacteristically, expressing her dissatisfaction like a child: "It's too much for Jin Zhu to say that, of course..." She said, "The longer the better!"

Then I was sent to help in the kitchen, and Takasugi would stay for dinner, but of course he would leave immediately.I figured he wouldn't stay either, so I was relieved to have just finished our one-on-one conversation with him.

But a decision has already been formed in my heart.

[-]. Be careful of those eyes that spy on you

do you know?Those that I myself do not want to identify with, that was a dark yesterday.Because it was yesterday, it will never be sunny again.

Takasugi's news was indeed accurate.

Half a month later, Young Master Jingfeng really knocked on the door of his own house, which can be regarded as his return from studies.During this period, Takasugi came three times, but they all talked with the young lady alone in the tea room, and I had no possibility of snooping.The young lady is usually tight-lipped and lives as she pleases, as if Takasugi's arrival has no effect on her at all.

But I know that the young lady's mood has changed recently.

If you have to briefly summarize it, it is probably a rush.

In this way, the small turmoil caused by the reunion with Takasugi passed away in a superficially peaceful atmosphere, and the joy of the young master's return quickly made everyone in the Aozora family happy.With the approval of the young lady, Qing Kong's family has been holding banquets in the name of the young master recently. The whole mansion is drowsy during the day, but it is like a busy city at night, which is really strange.

In addition, Master House seems to have made some progress in the research on that map.

That day, the lady called me to her room specially.

"Look, does Xiaofeng have someone he likes?"

As soon as I opened my mouth, the lady asked me directly.Of course I know this, because the young master has grown up, as a
