These people are "tourists", and Ningzi is the only daughter of the abbot of the temple, and it is not uncommon for them to be eye-catching when they are mixed together, but Chihara Rin inexplicably feels that those people are a little hostile, but those people just watched from a distance and didn't come, and Chihara Rin didn't take it to heart, and he didn't see it after a glance, and his attention was on Michiko again.

She was young, just the age of fun, and she looked excited, helping Konoe carry a bucket of steamed glutinous rice back. Ning Zi also began to help, and began to scoop a large wooden spoon into the stone mortar, and after feeling the appropriate amount, he looked up and smiled: "Qianyuan-kun, it's okay, let's start beating rice cakes!"

It takes two people to fight rice cakes, one person smashes it hard with a mallet, and the other person keeps turning the glutinous rice in the mortar, Ningzi obviously wants to partner with Chihara Rinto, and at this time Aiko over there shouted: "Sister Ningzi, you come and teach us, we seem to have put too much." ”

Ning Zi turned his head to look, and Mei Qianzi was trotting over from there, and said attentively: "Sister Ning Zi, go over there, I'll give the master a hand." ”

Ning Zi raised his head and smiled at Chihara Rinto, didn't object, got up and walked over there, and laughed in a low voice: "I'll go over and take a look, you guys be careful not to hurt yourself." ”

Rin Chihara also smiled helplessly: "I know, if I have a chance to go back, I will talk to her." He didn't pay attention before, but now he understands that Mei Qianzi is really a big ghost, she doesn't know what to fight with Ning Zi, but she just instigates Ai Zi and a few people to always occupy Ning Zi's time.

Mei Qianzi didn't notice anything, ran back and began to rummage through the cooked glutinous rice pieces in the stone mortar, and smiled with a small face: "Master, let's start!"

If an adult was playing tricks on Rin Chihara like this, Rin Chihara would probably have blacklisted her, and she would have to let her know something powerful when she turned around, but Michiko was his unlucky disciple, and her behavior was not quite right, but how to say it......?

Even if he gets married, he won't ignore Michiko, just be an extra daughter, and he really has to talk to Michiko when he goes back - talk about it tactfully!

He smiled, took the gavel handed over by Hitomi Konoe, and pretended not to know anything, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's start!"

"Come on, Master!" The two disciples cheered for the master together, and Konoe Hitomi was born in the countryside and had experience, and he also instructed Chihara Rin by the way, "Master, the key is to keep a good rhythm and rise and fall quickly, but don't hit Michiko's hand." ”

"Understood!"

Rin Chihara answered and was ready to start work, feeling that there was nothing difficult about making rice cakes, it was just mechanical labor.

The glutinous rice was first soaked in water for a long time, and then steamed overnight, and now as long as it is smashed into mud and kneaded into shape, it is completed, no matter how you think about it, it feels not difficult, and the pigs should be able to, but Chihara Rin raised the mallet and frowned, feeling that the front and back are not easy to control, and it is quite heavy, so he quickly added a lot of strength to accurately smash it in the stone mortar, but it is slightly skewed - fortunately, it is very sticky and sticky cooked glutinous rice, if it is estimated that raw beans and the like will fly diagonally on the spot, and the big apprentice will be killed by collapse.

As soon as the mallet fell, Chihara Rin quickly raised it again, and Michiko happily took a big wooden spoon and flipped it, and shouted happily: "Master is so powerful!" Her task is to turn the rice, first with a wooden spoon, and after the glutinous rice has become a ball, she will dip her hand in water to knead it, until it becomes a very elastic rice dumpling.

Rin Chihara didn't bother to speak, and put all his mental head on the mallet - this mallet was strange, the pole was thin and elastic, and the mallet head was a long cylinder that looked like a cross without a head.

In short, unlike the tool hammer on the general construction site, it is particularly difficult for inexperienced people to use.

He felt a little troublesome here, but Michiko was having a good time, and Hitomi Konoe was also next to him and commanded him, "Master, hurry up, it's already started to draw the wire, you stretch the wire a little longer!"

When beating rice cakes, the longer the "silk" sticking to the head of the mallet, it means that next year's wealth will be more prosperous, which is a good omen, but Chihara Rin people are already a little careless.

This job is a real physical work, the muscles are quite demanding, he was awkward and smashed for six or seven minutes, his arm was weak, and the gavel that had just been lifted fell back halfway, if it weren't for Michiko's quick reaction and fast enough to shrink her hand, there was a chance that she would have to be hit at once - lack of strength, not necessarily hurting muscles and bones, but it must be very painful.

Konoe Hitomi hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong, did you hurt your arm?"

Rin Chihara didn't have a big deal, but he had never done it before, his muscles were not used to this kind of work, and after a while of mechanical movement, lactic acid accumulated seriously, and his arms were a little soft and trembling - in fact, as long as he took this minute or two, he would be fine, but he stopped directly, and he was not very interested in this kind of activity anyway.

He smiled apologetically at Michiko and said to Hitomi Konoe, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Come on, Hitomi, I'll take a break. ”

He wanted to be lazy, there was no sense of accomplishment in the mechanical work of making rice cakes, he didn't like it, he wanted him to have the final say, and he would have already got a machine to do it, but as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sneer next to him.

He turned his head to look and saw that it was the young men who had noticed before, and he didn't know when he had come over. When I looked closer, I was wearing black straight and white hakama, but I didn't wear monk's clothes like Luozi or Gojo, so I still couldn't tell whether they were miscellaneous servants or disciples in the temple.

Michiko also stood up, and the expression on her little face was a little angry - the master didn't do a good job and looked clumsy, but the master is not a rice cake maker, and this is not his specialty, what's so ridiculous?

It's so disrespectful!

Those few people also noticed that their voyeurism was discovered, but they didn't hide it, and walked over directly, one of the young people led by them was very handsome, and his body was also very strong, and his height was more than half a head taller than Chihara Rinto, and he bowed his head and smiled at Chihara Rinto: "This guest, it's rude." ”

Rin Chihara was ridiculed, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but his city was heavier, and he didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, but you are here to ......"

"You are Miss Ningzi's guest, right? Miss Ningzi is bringing a guest back for the first time, we couldn't help but be a little curious and came over to take a look, please don't be surprised. The handsome man smiled charmingly, and said with a smile: "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I am Zhenzong Saburo who grew up with Miss Ningzi, please advise me more in the future." ”

Chihara Rin suddenly realized that Ningzi's childhood sweetheart seemed to be not good.

He smiled and said very reservedly: "It turned out to be Ningzi's senior brother, I'm sorry, I haven't heard Ningzi talk about it, otherwise I should say hello first, I'm really embarrassed - my surname is Qianyuan, and I am Ningzi's boyfriend, and I will ask Senior Brother Zhenzong to take care of me in the future." ”

When he spoke, he smiled and groaned, with a gentleman's style as warm as jade, but from Zhenzong Saburo's face was immediately as black as the bottom of a pot.

It's not that the name of "Teacher Qianyuan" is so loud, these disciples in the practice don't have many opportunities to watch TV, and they don't pay much attention to social news, even if they occasionally look at it in TV and newspapers, they can't get it right for a while, but hearing the title of "Ningzi's boyfriend" caused great physical discomfort - Baima Ningzi is the only pearl in their master's palm, and he has not returned from traveling for a long time, but he has come back with a rare friend.

It's nothing to bring friends back, but there is a man among them, and he seems to have a close relationship with this man, and their group of people feel a little unhappy, but it's just unhappy, I really didn't expect it to be Ningzi's boyfriend - why is this!

Shinshozaburo was a little unconvinced, and suddenly took a step forward, condescendingly, and asked with a dark face, "Boyfriend?"

Rin Chihara was not afraid, smiled and nodded again and again: "Yes, if it is fake, it is full of real gold!"

He is not an honest person by nature, behind the smiling face is an aggressive nature, if someone wants to rob him of Ningzi, he won't care, maybe he will be even more excited - he feels a little uneasy in his conscience when he twists Ningzi's melon, but he won't blink his eyes when he twists his competitors into twists.

Whoever dares to sabotage his plan, he will smash his dog's head, this is his consistent style! It is also that Hakuba Zongzheng and Mizue did not object to Ningzi's marriage, otherwise he would not mind a vicious fight with his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, so the "childhood sweetheart" is not even a fart in his eyes.

The scene seemed to be about to clash, and the smell of gunpowder suddenly became stronger. Michiko immediately moved closer to Chihara Rin and glared angrily at Shinsho Saburo - she didn't like Ningzi super much, and she hated to launch Ningzi to Mars, the farther away from Chihara Rinto, the better, but she could tell the difference between internal strife and external fighting, and this should obviously be the moment of unanimity with the outside world.

Konoe Hitomi was even more wild, and with a flick of his ponytail, he stood directly beside Chihara Rinto, holding a mallet and eagerly trying, it is estimated that there were many fights in the village when he was a child, and he was not afraid of facing a group of adult men.

At this time, Bai Ma Ningzi had already noticed that something was wrong, and asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhenzong, what are you doing here?"

Zhenzong Saburo immediately turned to Ningzi and asked angrily, "Ningzi, is this your boyfriend?"

Ning Zi shook his head and said with a smile: "No!"

Zhenzong Saburo's face turned white again in an instant, and he breathed a big sigh of relief and smiled happily - it turned out to be another delusional guy, and he was almost deceived by this kid!

But before his smile bloomed on his handsome face, Ningzi had already walked up to Chihara Rinto, grabbed Chihara Rinto's arm, leaned his head on his shoulder, and smiled happily: "This is my fiancé!"

In an instant, the faces of Zhenzong Saburo and Michiko darkened at the same time, Michiko only felt that the word "danger" on her little head was redder and bigger, and Zhenzong Saburo almost vomited out a mouthful of blood - bastard, more than dating, why is this going to get married?

The attendants behind him were in an uproar, and one of them even lost his voice and said, "It's up to him...... Will he inherit the White Horse family?"

Ning Zi showed his usual gentle smile on his face, his eyes narrowed, and there was a little starlight in it: "Yes, please continue to assist and support us in the future." ”

"How can this be?"

"That's right, I've never seen this person before!"

"Inappropriate ......"

The discussion became louder, and Bai Ma Ningzi tilted his head slightly, the smile on his face did not change, and stopped Chihara Rin who wanted to speak, began to look around, and said softly: "I like Chihara-kun, Chihara-kun also likes me, I think it is suitable!

Although the voice was soft, it was loud and domineering, and there was an instant silence in the field, and even Rin Chihara had some sideways glances - you are not like this in Tokyo, are you different at home and outside?

Women are really born to be actors, there are no exceptions, and they all have several faces?

Zhenzong Saburo's followers all kept their mouths, but Zhenzong Saburo relieved himself, but he seemed to be very jealous of Ningzi, so he didn't dare to directly fight her, and turned his head to Chihara Rin and asked seriously: "Which temple are you from?"

Ningzi opened her mouth to speak, but Chihara Rin reached out to stop her and smiled at her, and Ningzi instantly understood and kept silent - Chihara Rin didn't need her to come out, he could handle this kind of thing himself.

She understands the proportions of getting along with people, and retreats behind Rin Chihara with a smile, and Rin Chihara understands what Saburo Shin is asking.

The industry barriers are quite serious, and intermarriage in the same industry is an unspoken rule in many cases, and the temple is divided into hundreds of schools of thirteen major sects, belonging to 80,000 large and medium-sized temples, like the White Horse family, most of them are the same sect and the same faction of a temple has a surplus heir, and will send one over as an adopted son-in-law - Zhenzong Saburo may be the case, belonging to the extra boy in the family, was sent to the White Horse family early to worship under the main gate of the White Horse Sect, and eighty percent of them have been thinking about Ningzi for a long time.

At the very least, I must have dreamed of controlling the White Horse family!

Although Rin Chihara is not a monk professional, he has carefully studied the TV series "9 to 5: A Monk Falls in Love with Me", and he probably knows a little about these - the blind date object booked by the male protagonist's family is the daughter of another temple, and the second daughter or the third daughter can't remember clearly, but the nature is similar to that of Zhenzong Saburo, and he has also done bridal practice in the temple of the male protagonist's house.

He replied directly: "No one in my family is a monk, not your peers, but what's the problem?"

"Then why do you think you are qualified to marry Ningzi? Do you think it is easy to run a temple?" Zhenzong Saburo's expression was very serious, relying on himself to be taller than Chihara Rinto, wanting to overwhelm him from the momentum, "Ningzi's marriage is not her personal private matter, it involves the inheritance of a long-established temple, can you take this responsibility?"

Chihara Rin smiled: "I can, but you must say that there is no evidence, and you want to compare with me...... It's all men, let's talk about it, what do you want to compare?"

Zhenzong Saburo looked at Ning Zi, saw that she smiled and didn't object, she was a little more courageous, thought about it and said: "Compared to doing things and chanting, I don't think you can come, then let me see your perseverance and courage - we are a little simpler, just like beating rice cakes, but I don't bully you, as long as you can beat one-tenth of my amount, even if you win, I will never say half a word after you inherit the White Horse family!"

Michiko looked at the thin body of Rin Chihara, and then looked at the muscles directly under Saburo Shinsho - this guy's breasts are bigger than ordinary women, and she suddenly said angrily: "This is not fair at all, you are used to it, my master has never done it before, change one, compared to others!"

Shingo Saburo glanced at her and sneered: "He only needs to have one-tenth of my amount, what's unfair?" I just want to see if he has the perseverance to insist on wielding the gavel...... "He said this to Michiko and ignored her, turned to Chihara Rin and said, "Do you dare?"

He didn't feel that his opposition was useful, but he was very unhappy in his heart, he just wanted to make Rin Chihara make a fool of himself, disgusting and disgusting him - he didn't even ask Rin Chihara to get out if he lost!

Chihara Rin thought for a while, and asked with a smile: "The comparison can be compared, but you can't control the affairs of me and Ningzi, and it's useless to say no, this bet is a bit unfair." ”

Shingo Saburo didn't expect Chihara Rin to dare to say such a thing, but he had seen Chihara Rinto's clumsy performance just now, and laughed: "Then what do you want?"

"If you lose, you are not allowed to say a word to Ning Zi in the future...... Don't look at me like that, I'm just so stingy, and I don't need you to let me, let's play fair!" Rin Chihara took off his coat and smiled: "If you want, let's start!"

It's a completely unhelpful thing, it's just arguing, but he doesn't mind at all!

Boy, if you want to make a fool of my current girlfriend, let's see who is disgraced!
