Chapter 321: Sakura-gumi
Ever since Yagyu Kazushima moved into the Garden Palace, he couldn't put it down - the style here is exactly the thousand-year-old family architecture that Yagyu Kazushima dreamed of (Japan only), otherwise he wouldn't have been in a hurry to announce that this is the ancestral home of the Yagyu family.
(It's no wonder that others say that the Yanagi family is an explosive household, after all, this kind of behavior of taking a residence that has lived in less than three years is claimed to be an ancestral home passed down from generation to generation by the family, and ordinary people really can't do it.) Of course, Yagyu and Shima are salesmen, and the thickness of their faces has been tested by the market, and they can never be compared with other people. )
However, even if it is not from ancient times, it can be carried forward and the future, and the glory of the Yagyu family is still to come!
With this mentality, after three years of preparation, Yanagi and Shima believed that the Yanagi family, whether it was connections or wealth, could match this Japanese-style classical manor, and finally took the opportunity of his wife's 40th birthday to announce to the whole of Japan - the Yanagi family has risen completely and finally become a first-class family in Japan!
Although Yagyu and Shima are a rare loving couple in Japanese high society, since they have come to this point, their every move is still inevitably contaminated with utilitarian colors, and this birthday party not only celebrates the 40th birthday of Masako Minamida, but also plays a role in announcing the rise of the Yagyu family.
"Mom, you don't have to be so nervous, you are as young and beautiful as a girl in your twenties, almost like my sister, I am a little jealous of you, I need to be as beautiful as you at the age of forty. Sakura Kobayashi slapped her ass.
"Woo woo, Sakura, you are really good at talking, mom loves you!" Masako Nanda happily hugged Sakura Kobayashi in her arms and rubbed it, so that Qing Shui Ling, who was standing on the side and helped her choose clothes, was a little surprised.
However, as the time gradually approached, Masako Nanda was still choosing clothes later.
It's not that Masako Minamida doesn't have any suitable clothes, but she has too many people to choose from, which is also a cruel test for women.
Today, there are four of the world's most famous designers, including one Japanese designer, the other three from Italy and France, and the last one is simply the British Royal Designer.
If it weren't for today's theme of announcing the rise of the Yanagi family in Japan, even Queen Janet would have rushed over, let alone sent a designer over.
This kind of luxurious lineup is really not something that the average rich can enjoy.
These designers are considered to be the world's top celebrities in their own right, and if they serve as individuals, as long as one of them is present, the others will generally not accept the invitation.
The so-called 'king does not see the king', everyone is a famous person, willing to give you a design is to give you face, and I want to put my work and other people's works together to pick and choose? I'm sorry, Lao Tzu/Lao Niang is no longer serving.
However, it is precisely because these are world-class celebrities that they understand the horror of the Yanagi family.
In particular, the family structure of the Yanagi family is not a secret to those who have a heart.
It is not so much that Yagyu Kazushima is the head of the Yagyu family, but that Masako Minamida is the head of the Yagyu family!
"Okay, let's wear our traditional Japanese costume first, and don't choose any more. Yanagi and Shima couldn't wait, so they had to break in and urge their wives on their own.
"Eh, okay, okay, right away. "Nantian Masako is also a little embarrassed - from the beginning to now, it took me more than forty minutes just to pick out clothes, but fortunately, now I have ice muscles and jade bones, and it is very convenient for makeup artists to put on makeup, otherwise it would be too late.

In the Japanese-style garden, flowers and plants are shaded, and the long strips and cushions are scattered among the flowers.
It's already close to the end of November, and even the Tokyo area is starting to get colder, but here, spring seems to have stopped, and the garden is so warm that guests even have to take off their heavy coats.
The traditional high-end banquets in Japan are not a large round table like the Red Flag, but a shared meal system that was passed down from the Song Dynasty scholars of the Celestial Dynasty.
When Masako Minamida, the protagonist of today, walked out of the courtyard, the people I knew were fine, and some people who had never seen her had the first thought, 'Isn't this going to the wrong place?'
The white kimono is emblazoned with pink cherry blossom petals, and a phoenix-shaped hairpin is worn in a high bun, with five phoenix tails fluttering in the wind.
The style of this white kimono is slightly different from that of traditional Japanese kimonos, with a wider skirt at the lower end, rather than a straight vertical skirt, and at the bottom, it swells up slightly and unobtrusively.
I don't know what material this kimono is woven from, it's as light as clouds in the sky, and every time Masako Minamida takes a step, the edge of the kimono under her feet is like a wave, showing that the hem of this kimono is far more than one layer.
Like a skirt walking in the clouds, with the fluttering and swaying phoenix tail above her head, Masako Minamida does not look like a forty-year-old middle-aged woman with two adult sons at all, but like an ageless fairy walking out of the clouds.
"—Dad, is this Ms. Masako Minamita?" asked Rimiko Asakura, whispering into her father's ear.
"That's right, she's really Ms. Masako Minamida. ”
"Oh my God, she's really forty?"
"Yes. ”
"Ah, if I could be half as young as her when I was forty years old, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!"
"Do you see the lady next to her?" Asakura Masa whispered to his daughter.
"See, is that the daughter-in-law of the Yanagi family?"
"What a stupid thing to say, that's Ms. Shimizu Rei, a lady who is about the same age as Mrs. Nantian. ”
"Ahh
Rimiko Asakura seems to have discovered a new world, and seeing a woman who is young and immortal may be her personal talent,
But if she saw two forty-year-old women who were not related by blood, both of them looked unusually young and beautiful, her first thought was - what brand of cosmetics do you use?
"Mrs. Shimizu is the director of the Youth Forever Beauty Club. Asakura pointed in a low voice.
"Is it that mysterious beauty club where no one buys it, and only one member quits, and only new members join?"
She just returned from studying in France in July, and she still doesn't know much about what has happened in Japan over the years, but of course, this unclear mainly refers to the fashion industry, which is changing too fast.
But even so, she had heard of the name of the 'Youth Forever Beauty Club', and now this mysterious club has long since ceased to admit members, and the business premises are not in the same place.
"How could she accompany Mrs. Nantian out of it?"
"Lady Shimizu is Sakuraden's biological mother. ”
"Sakuraden! Is Sakuraden here? I like Sakuraden the most!"
——————————
In the past few years, if the rise of the Yagyu family is a legend in the Japanese business world, a story that belongs to Yagyu and the island, then Sakura Kobayashi is the idol of the younger generation of Japan, and her limelight has even overshadowed Yagyu Yuan and the Japanese mythological sword master.
(The trip to Yanagi and Goguryeo, and the later war with Leilani in Europe and the explosion of the hydrogen bomb are not for ordinary people to see.) )
Sakura Kobayashi became famous in Japan about three years ago, when she single-handedly founded a chain of Japanese civilian clinics, which greatly alleviated the problem of medical treatment in the Tokyo area.
In the following three years, Japanese civilian clinics have sprung up one after another in major cities, similar to the significance of the subway to urban transportation, and Japanese civilian clinics are now synonymous with the necessities of Japanese life.
(Yanagi's analysis of the human body structure was completed during these three years.) )
Of course, the quality of civilian clinics is not very high, the medical equipment is not advanced, and some complex diseases still have to be transferred to higher-level hospitals according to the usual practice, but even so, for the average Japanese people, it is a great improvement to be able to enjoy medical services without waiting in line for several hours.
However, this is not the reason why Rimiko Asakura worships Sakura Kobayashi.
When Rimiko Asakura was studying in France, she had the privilege of seeing Sakura Kobayashi visiting the University of Paris.
Known as the capital of knights, Paris is a knightly mecca on the European continent, competing with London's Temple of the Round Table, the main base of the knights of the Holy Bishop, who, unlike those who follow the Eight Virtues of the Knights of Artoria, follow the knightly creed of fighting for the Lord.
Of course, in modern society, what to fight for the Lord is nonsense, everyone is just playing a brand, France, as one of the four powers of the European Union, has always been at odds with the United Kingdom.
(If it weren't for Britain's hindrance, France would have been able to unify Europe twice in history, not to mention the old grudge of the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, and if it weren't for the Holy Bishop's power in France, there would have been no stupid thing about burning Joan of Arc.) )
At that time, Sakura Kobayashi was visiting France as an entourage of Queen Janet, and was challenged by members of the Knights Society at the University of Paris.
Young people don't know the sky, and some people think that since Leilani Artoria didn't come, she can take the opportunity to make a name for herself - no matter who wins, as long as she wins the guard of Artoria's contemporary head of the family, then she will become famous overnight!
Janet herself can fight, but as the Queen of England, it is inconvenient to bully children, and there are really no martial arts masters around her for a while.
It was this Kobayashi Sakura who stepped forward and looked soft and weak, but when she stood in the ring, the long knife was in the direction, and there was no enemy in front of her!
That kind of knife to chop, sword to sword, and flail heavy axe, are all terrifying knife techniques that cut in two, which made the audience lose their voice.
In the end, some people questioned that Kobayashi Sakura was completely relying on the advantages of the weapons in her hands and could not be regarded as a real skill, the girl came out with a wooden knife and cut off the knight's iron armor placed on the edge of the ring as a decoration, shocking the audience!
Only then did everyone know that this girl cut off everyone's weapons in front of her, just because she wanted her subordinates to show mercy.
The wooden knife is still on display in the stadium of the University of Paris as a testament to the friendship between Britain and France.
The customs of Europe and the United States are very different from those of the East, they don't pay attention to any subtle and low-key, of course, Asakura Miko has no capital to be subtle and low-key, originally she was a little transparent in school, although she was not bullied, but there was nothing to be happy about in her academic career.
Kobayashi Sakura used a Japanese sword to make a name for herself in the University of Paris, as a similar age to Sakura Kobayashi, Rimiko Asakura is not less polished, to be honest, or someone because the Yagyu family is Kobayashi Sakura's husband's family, Asakura Rimiko may not be willing to come today.
Anyway, she has always felt that what kind of mythical sword saint Yanagi Yuanhe is afraid that he has been boasted too much by the countrymen, and he may not be worthy of her idol Kobayashi Sakura - can you use a wooden knife to break the iron armor?

"Sakuraden is probably in that courtyard. Asakura Masato pointed to the moon gate next to him.
There are a lot of distinguished guests from all walks of life who came today, and it is impossible for one courtyard to accommodate them all, the courtyard where they are located is the main courtyard, and it is the main courtyard where some people with particularly noble status and older people will be here, and the Yagyu and Shima couples are in charge of entertaining, and of course, there are some other courtyards that entertain other guests.
"Daddy, uncle, I'm going there. ”
"Go ahead, you'll have a little more of your peers there - be careful not to talk nonsense!" Asakura said.
A little girl found this scene boring, and happily ran to other yards, naturally not attracting any attention in the circles of these giants.
"Sakuraden, Sakuraden, do you remember me? I'm Rimiko Asakura, the girl who asked for your autograph in Paris. ”
This yard is not like the one just now, which is full of boring old men.
The layout here is more like an open-air cafeteria, where you can pick up whatever you want.
If it is a food that needs to be processed such as barbecue, and the guest does not want to grill it himself, he can also ask the waiter to prepare it and bring it over.
Rimiko Asakura saw Sakura Kobayashi at first sight.
In the middle of the crowd, she was standing there. It's like a red-crowned crane standing in a bunch of hens, so beautiful and upright, outstanding. (Valentine's eyes out of Xi Shi)
"Ha, another admirer, Sakura, you're about to become a female saint. Hen No. 1 opened her mouth to laugh, causing Asakura to glare at Miko angrily.
"Well, it's Your Highness Li, I'm sorry to be rude-" I looked over and realized that I couldn't afford to mess with this person-Ikura Rimiko Asakura quickly put a smile on her face.
The Asakura family is a first-class aristocratic family in Japan and a first-class consortium in Japan, but she is still self-aware of Her Royal Highness Li, who is likely to be the first female emperor of Japan.
"Hey, Limiko, didn't you see us?" the other hens cried.
"——————, you're all here!"
Looking closely, Rimiko Asakura felt a little swollen. She knows most of these people, and most of the real ladies in the top circle of Tokyo, Japan are standing here.
"Hmph, for the sake of you being an admirer of Sister Sakura, we won't pursue your faux pas!"
"Sister Sakura?"
"We just set up the Sakura Group, and Sakura is the eldest sister!" said one girl proudly.
For them, the eldest ladies who are not deeply involved in the world, they don't care about any wealth and power, but a peer girl like Sakura Kobayashi, who can run a Japanese civilian chain on her own and has appalling force herself, is the object of their admiration.
"Ah, count me in!" Rimiko Asakura did not hesitate at all, and immediately applied to join.
A new generation of Japanese female underworld forces was established in this courtyard.
