Chapter 153: The Family in the Array
Sun and Moon escorted Rai on his way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The two of them drove in a carriage for several days to reach the border of the Fire Country, which is an endless sea, and then continue east into the border of the Water Country. They began to sail the seas in a boat to the continent in the middle of the sea, the land of water.
The boat sails in the sea, the sea is blue and the sea is calm. A few seabirds flew by in the sky, and several ships were encountered on the way, and everyone honked their horns to greet each other, and it seemed that the route was very busy.
The only time they saw a ship in the distance seemed to be on fire, and the ship was sinking at a great speed, and by the time they had rushed over, there was no sign of the ship on the sea, and no survivors were found.
The rest of the trip, everything was so uneventful. A week later, the vast land reappeared in their field of vision, and the land of water was almost there!
"It's a safe journey, and nothing is dangerous. Alas, why should I hire a ninja!, it's all about paying for a trip with a child!" Rai, who was sitting on the boat, complained depressedly, she regretted it a little, and felt sorry for the money she paid to Konoha.
"......" Sun and Moon buried their heads and continued to sleep, and did not talk.
Along the way, he killed a total of 1 group of robbers, 1 group of pirates, and sent 2 groups of gangsters. The most frustrating is also 3 enemy ninja attacks!
How much trouble did this young female president get into when she got into trouble? She was a broom star! Sun and Moon helped her deal with her troubles every day, secretly dealing with these enemies who were close to her, so that she could travel in peace. Several shadow clones were busy running up and down, and the body of the sun and moon was also tired enough, and now he could only sleep when he was fine, and replenish his strength......
They landed on land again, entered the territory of the Water Country, and then took a horse-drawn carriage to reach the capital of the Daimyo of the Water Country in one day.
"Whew, it's finally here!" "Alas, it's finally the land of water!"
Sun Moon and Lai both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time......
The capital of the land of water is quite prosperous, and there are many people on the streets. However, it is still a big gap compared to the cities of the Fire Country, after all, the Water Country is the most closed of the five major countries.
The houses are low and old, there are few shops on the streets, and there are not many goods. The common people were dressed in a relatively old and simple manner, and their clothes were mainly made of linen cloth, and the thin people on the streets accounted for a small half. They are also not very friendly to outsiders, and are especially hostile to well-dressed merchants. These details all illustrate the backwardness of the water country.
Riyue and Lai rode through the city in a carriage and came to the wealthy area of the capital. Suddenly I changed my style, as if I had arrived in another place. There are all big mansions here, and the houses are exquisite and tidy, which is very different from the urban area just now.
The carriage finally stopped outside the door of a large mansion with a large courtyard built like a small Japanese castle. The delicate door plate is vertically engraved with the word "in the array".
This is a large family in the Land of Water, the mansion of the Jinnai family.
The ancestors of the Jinuchi family were originally retainers of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, and the family served the Daimyo for generations, and over time, the Jinnai family also gained some power. The Land of Water is a closed country, and the family in the country of water can do business prosperously, all because of the privileges given by the name of the country of water, and other businessmen can't do it even if they want to, and the family monopolizes several industries in the country of water because of this relationship.
Sun and Moon got out of the car and explained the intention to the guard guarding the door, and the guard immediately went to report to the owner of the house. After a while, a man with glasses and a crisp suit walked out to receive them.
"Welcome, President Lai. I'm the housekeeper here, Mr. Wabisuke. My master was very happy to know that you were coming!" The man smiled as he shook Lai's hand, smiling brightly.
This glasses man is the butler here, the cronies of the head of the family in the array.
"Thank you. Wabi assistant housekeeper. Miss Lai smiled politely.
The housekeeper turned his head to look at Sun and Moon beside Lai, his face was expressionless, his eyes were a little cold, and he didn't mean to say hello to Sun and Moon.
Riyue also sensed his gaze and looked up at him squarely. He immediately withdrew his gaze, turned back to Lai, and said, "Miss Lai, please come in." The host is waiting for you inside!"
"That's a disturbance!" said Lay, politely to the butler. Rai turned to look at Sun and Moon: "Give me my bag." ”
As she spoke, she had already taken her handbag from Sun Yue's hand. Then Lay followed the butler into the door. Sun and Moon were about to follow, but were stopped by the guards.
"Kid, there's nothing to do with you when you get here, don't you want to travel somewhere else?" I'll return to the Fire Nation in 3 days, and I'll let you know when the time comes!" Miss Rai shook her hand impatiently at Sun and Moon, the destination has arrived, why do you want this useless Konoha ninja?
Rai turned his head and strode in, leaving Sun Moon alone in the doorway......
……
After entering the house, the housekeeper led Lai around and around and walked towards the master's study.
"Miss Lai, who is the child with you?" asked the butler with glasses as he walked.
"Oh, Konoha ninja, it's useless, I'll let him go......" Rai replied casually.
"Hmm......" The glasses butler didn't continue to ask, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
When she came to the study, Miss Lai met her father's friend and long-term partner of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Jinnai. Mr. Jinuchi is over the age of sixteen and is a kind old man.
"Uncle Jinnei, long time no see. Are you all right?" said Lay greeted cordially.
"Hehe, niece, don't be polite to me, I'm fine. What about you, are you still used to living alone?" Mr. Jinuchi asked with concern.
"I'm fine. It's just that I've had some trouble in business...... "Lai looked embarrassed.
"Haha, don't worry. Your father is an old friend of mine, his chamber of commerce, and I will never let it collapse......" Mr. Jinuchi gave her a clear reply.
They had a good conversation, and Mr. Jinuchi had decided to divide his market share of the Water Country with the Northern Chamber of Commerce of the Fire Country, and the two would cooperate to help Rai's Chamber of Commerce tide over the difficulties. Lai's Chamber of Commerce has obtained the "big cake" of the Water Country, and it will definitely be able to come back to life. The two quickly reached various cooperation intentions, and the next step was to discuss the details and draw up the contract.
"Father's Chamber of Commerce, I can protect it!" Lai was very happy, no matter how tired he was along the way, it was worth it, and a big stone in his heart was finally put down.
At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open heavily, and a voice came: "Master, do you have to give up the business of the water country to this woman?"
