Chapter 282: Cloud Sky Palace, Family Changes
"Sakura, Motowa, my sister was going to be your witness, but yesterday I received a call from your father, saying that the Emperor of Japan offered to be your witness.
By the way, when you get married, my sister and I will go to participate. β
Leilani personally sent the two to the cruise ship, and said goodbye to Sakura.
"Sakura-sensei, goodbye, we'll see you in Japan. "This is a group of female disciples of Sakura Kobayashi who came to see them off.
Of course, there are many male disciples who come to see them off, and the English gentlemen are still very particular about this, and everyone takes off their hats and salutes politely, but no one shouts and expresses their emotions like girls.
"Hey, Yagyu Juggernaut, when this child grows up in the future, will he be able to recognize you as his godfather and godmother?" Elche and von Maria, who met in the botanical garden, also came with a stroller to see him off.
"Well, we're not believers in the Holy Bishop! Is that okay?" Yanagi Motokazu was a little surprised, the godfather and godmother always have to be religious, right?
"Ha, the Lord is the most beautiful emotion in everyone's heart, not idolatry, I am not a member of the Holy Bishop, Maria and I are both Protestants. β
"Well, when he reaches the age of ten, you can bring him to me when you have time. Yanagi Motowa and Sakura glanced at each other, looking at the eager light in Sakura's eyes, Yanagi Motowa turned around and agreed.
It is of course beneficial and harmless to be able to have an open relationship with one's own clone.
But after he agreed, Yanagi Motokazu suddenly remembered a big and small problem - when the time came, the Elche couple brought this child to Japan to recognize their godfather, and when they met with their family, the family found that this child looked exactly like him when he was a child, so how should he explain it?
Liu Shengyuan has a bit of a headache, but there are still ten years to think that he needs to face this problem, and the so-called car must have a road before the mountain, maybe there will be a natural solution at that time?
Let's put this question aside for a moment.
ββββββββββββ
The huge cruise ship carries thousands of passengers at a time, and Yanagi Yuan, who is not short of money, and Sakura Kobayashi are also first-class distinguished passengers, and there are many people who want to get to know them, but there is no one who can get close to them under the noses of professional bodyguards.
A few days have passed, and there are rumors on the cruise ship that there are suspected to be two super bigwigs haunting this cruise ship, but this is not about Liu Shengyuan and anything, he is at most enjoying the scenery of the blue sky and blue sea on the top deck.
Anyway, there are professional security guards from the Japanese government and the British government to keep any strangers who try to get close to him, and Yanagi Motokazu is also happy to be at ease - these people's salaries are even borne by the governments of the two countries, but Yanagi Motokazu doesn't know this.
Now Yanagi Yuan and when he travels, the level of security is about to catch up with the Japanese royal family, this is not to protect his safety, but to protect the safety of others-
"Woo-" The cruise ship docked, and Tokyo arrived.
ββββββββββ
"Yagyu-sama and Sakura-chan, please come with me. "As the top VIP guests, Yanagi and Nature have priority to disembark and do not have to crowd on the disembarkation ramp with other passengers.
As soon as I got off the boat, I saw Nakano Daishige wearing a black tuxedo and white gloves standing straight at the end of the red carpet.
It's a sight to behold, and many people are holding up their cameras to capture it.
"Nakano, what is this for?" asked Yanagi Yuanhe, frowning.
"Lord Yanagiyu, according to the edict issued by the Emperor of Japan last week, you have been named the Cloud Sky Palace, and you are a person from heaven!" Nakano Daishige replied solemnly, "You deserve such courtesy." β
"What kind of mess? Hurry up. Looking at the flashing camera flashes outside the red line, Liu Shengyuan was a little angry, and he didn't want people to travel well?
"Hey, please come with me. Although Nakano Daishige was reprimanded by the master, the relief in his heart was indescribable.
On this day, he originally thought that he might not be able to see it in his lifetime, but now, in just a few years, the Yagyu family has taken off and become a real upstart in Japan!
You know, the circle at the top of Japan has always been just a legend in the housekeeping world.
The housekeepers who can enter this circle are all strictly secretive, their mouths are tight, as if they are locked, only some clues and huge connections occasionally exposed on their bodies, which make Nakano Daishige believe that there is a behemoth in Japan that surpasses business giants and political families.
But now, he is also accepted by this circleβor rather, his own master family is accepted by this circle.
The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, this proverb of the Celestial Empire is not a joke - the closer you get to the core of power, the more you can appreciate the greatness of power, in just a few days, people who have never seen you before, but now they will take the initiative to ask to see themselves, just to accept the benefits for themselves!
The benefits are secondaryβcertainly not less, at least enough for the Nakano family to become wealthy in the general senseβbut this rise in social status is what Nakano Daishige values most.
Don't be impressed for three days.
When Yanagi returned home, he found that the home had already changed.
Originally, the Yagyu family lived in the heart of Tokyo, the best part of Chiyoda's district, and was a high-end apartment with one staircase and one household, which was already the highest level of accommodation that ordinary Japanese people could dream of.
But now, the limousine took him to a place he had never been before.
If Motokazu Yagyu's suburban estate is located on the edge of Tokyo's metropolitan area, then it is a little better than the edge, and it is estimated that it is fifty or sixty kilometers from the center of Tokyo, and you can even see the lush mountains and forests behind it.
"Motowa, Sakura, are you back? Come over quickly, Mom will take you on a good tour of our new home!" Out of the antique Japanese-style courtyard came out of the mother Masako Nanda, who was wearing a kimono.
The changes that have taken place in these days are like a dream for Masako Minamida, even if she has an accounting certificate and is no stranger to the knowledge of the financial field, but a series of business operations still dazzle her.
Everything is moving in a good direction. Not to mention anything else, just the emperor's biological daughter, His Royal Highness Li, now seeing her, is screaming as a sister of Masako, which makes Masako Nanda very flattered.
Two weeks ago, this garden building, which was originally a royal annex, was sold for 17.5 billion yen, and became the property of the Yanagi family.
And this 17.5 billion didn't have to pay a penny from the Yanagi couple, and it was directly offset with the shares of the company that I didn't know it was - before signing, Masako Nanda had never even heard of owning the shares of this company.
And His Royal Highness Li said it even more bluntly, directly explaining that the Yanagi family has inevitably become a top family in Japan because of Yanagi Yuanhe, and these assets increased for the Yanagi family through dazzling financial operations are actually just a little bit of welcome in this circle.
The ruling class of any country welcomes the strong to join!
From ancient times to modern times, perhaps the definition of the strong is constantly changing. However, the ruling class, which does not welcome the strong to join and does not leave any avenue for upward mobility, has long been overthrown by various revolutions.
Countless lessons are recorded in the annals of history, and how can society progress to modern times, how can it be possible to make such a mistake again?
Yanagi Yuanhe has already proved himself with the blood of the Cui family, regardless of whether his definition of a strong man conforms to the general laws of modern society, but a strong man is a strong man, and as the highest circle that really rules Japan, of course he will reach out and pull him into the ruling class.
Of course, Liu Shengyuan and that stunned young man really don't fit the rules of the game in modern society, but it doesn't matter, as long as there are his parents in this circle as his representatives and can ensure that everyone is on the same side, it will be enough.
Therefore, the current Masako Minamida is also a busy person, if she didn't know that her son and Sakura were home today, she would have to go out to socialize everywhere and participate in all kinds of board meetings for unknown reasons - even if she went to attend as a puppet, it was also a declaration of existence.
For example, her husband Yanagi and Shima haven't been home for three days. The Yanagi family suddenly has so many shares in different companies, as long as Yanagi Kazushima doesn't want to become a salted fish who will only sit and wait for dividends, these relationships must be straightened out.
With such a huge financial asset, just to straighten out the context, it is necessary to first set up an efficient team of lawyers, and the preliminary work is enough for Yagyu and Shima to be busy.
ββββββββββββ
Omit the various contents of visiting the new home, anyway, it is the style of the Japanese imperial garden, which is equivalent to giving it directly to the Yanagi family, covering an area of about 5 hectares, and the Yanagi family has not been in a hurry to make any changes according to their own preferences, completely maintaining the original style.
As for why they want to add so many assets to the Yanagi family? First, they want to give benefits to the Yanagi family and draw them into their circle; second, if they don't have so many assets, according to the original income of the Yanagi family, they can't even afford to maintain this garden, which would be a loss of dignity in this circle.
ββββββββββββ
"Yuanhe, Sakura, this courtyard is your new home, I know that Yuanhe often likes to stay in the suburban manor to practice and do some research projects, but as long as you are not in retreat, you have to come back at least once every week and weekend!"
Masako Nanda deliberately emphasized this point, this son is all right, but he is too indifferent in terms of interpersonal relationships, Masako Nanda is very worried that if it continues like this, this son will become a super otaku at all.
"Hey, Mother, follow your orders!" Seeing that his mother's interest was high, Yanagi Yuanhe would not have swept away his mother's interest at this time.
Masako Nanda looked at her son, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it - the emperor personally issued an edict and was awarded the Yunkong Palace, which means that the Yanagi family has become a real nobleman in Japan, and it is the kind of nobleman who can be crowned a god at the top!
Although for modern people, a title of nobility seems to have no practical meaning, but for a country like Japan, which attaches great importance to tradition, there are countless invisible benefits, not to mention anything else, at least with this title, no one will say that the Yanagi family is an explosive family.
On the day that Masako Minamida eloped with her husband Yagyu Kazushima, she would never have imagined that one day she would be among the top ladies in Japan!
On the day when her husband received the emperor's edict on behalf of his absent son and was given the title of Yunkong Temple, Masako Minamida's father, mother, and sister were the spectators, and their eyes were shining, and they were tears of excitement.
This feeling, even if Masako Nanda's children have grown up, they feel a little fluttering. It's not vanity, it's real glory.
"Your wedding is scheduled for mid-October, and there are only a few days left, Yuanhe, especially you, you are not allowed to go to retreat during this time, you know? β
Speaking of the wedding between her son and Sakura, Masako Minamida smiled, after so many years, Sakura has already become an indispensable member of this family, at least much more intimate than this son who retreats at every turn.
ββββββββββββ
"The teacher is getting married!"
"Nonsense, didn't everyone already know?"
"The teacher was named 'Cloud Sky Palace' by the emperor, and this wedding is not ordinary, it is said that the emperor will personally preside over the wedding!"
"What?"
"Nani?"
"How can a teacher be named a 'temple'? That's the title of a god, right?"
"That's right, that's right, didn't you hear it wrong, although the teacher is a sword saint, this kind of title is given to the dead!"
There weren't many opportunities for Yanagi's disciples to come face-to-face with their teacher, Yanagi Yuanhe, but under the organization of Aoki Ryoji, the elder brother, they got together every day to hone their swordsmanship and supervise each other's learning.
Especially in the past year or so, among these more than 30 senior brothers/sisters, including the Aoki Ryoji brother and sister, there have been six swordsmen! This proportion of talents can simply blind the eyes of any senior swordsman in the Japanese kendo world!
Therefore, not only the signboard of Yanagi and the Sword Master, but also Aoki Ryoji, as the elder brother who organized these disciples to practice together and taught the art on behalf of the teacher in many cases, he is the most outstanding representative of the younger generation of Japanese swordsmen, and now Aoki Ryoji's reputation in the Japanese kendo world has far surpassed that of his father.
If it weren't for the fact that the teacher Yanagi Yuanhe hadn't allowed him to officially leave the school, Yanagi Yuanhe had long forgotten that his apprentices still had the formalities of leaving the school, and the swordsmen who wanted to worship under Aoki Ryoji as apprentices could go ten miles away.
"Quiet, what does this look like!" Aoki Ryoji scolded loudly, and under the majesty of the senior brother, the room suddenly fell silent.
ββββββββββ
However, the noise in this kendo room just now had already attracted the attention of many first-class inner disciples.
Although the heart is first-class, there are only six people who can really join Liu Shengyuan and his disciples, including the Aoki brothers and sisters and Chang Yuanming, and these six disciples who joined Liu Shengyuan and his disciples at the earliest, there are already four people who have achieved swordsmanship!
These four people are the first to achieve the sword master of the Changyuan name teaching, Aoki brother and sister, and Toyohara Xiaoyezi, they are now known as the heart of the first-class four masters, and the other two are also stuck on the threshold of the sword hero, I don't know when I suddenly wake up, I can step into the realm of the sword hero.
The other two swordsmen who became swordsmen, but were not first-class in heart, were Oshima Chaoyun, the niece of Oshima Hui, the chief of the Swordsman Association, and Yanagi Weide, who later tried his best to worship Yanagi Yuan and his disciples, this Yanagi Weide had fought with Yanagi Yuanhe in the martial soul duel four years ago.
Although the others have not yet become swordsmen, at least two-thirds of them have already stepped on the threshold of swordsmanship, that is to say, among the thirty-three disciples of Yanagi Yuanhe, the alternate swordsman accounts for as many as twenty!
Yanagi Motokazu's personal swordsmanship has been recognized by the kendo world as Japan's No. 1 kendo secret!
Therefore, any sound coming from this kendo room will attract everyone's attention, in case you hear something secret, wouldn't it be your own chance?
