Chapter 16: Legends

With the sound of banging, leaning against the wall of the bath, Li Xu immersed his whole body in the hot water, leaving only his head outside. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feeling the steaming water, his limbs and bones became comfortable, and he couldn't help but moan with his eyes half-closed.

He had told Teresa Teng before that although the old mansion here is generally a little gloomy, there are also some places that are very good, such as having dinner in the garden wooden pavilion at night, such as taking a bath in this bathroom.

The area is about 100 square meters, and the bath occupies two-thirds, steaming, overflowing, and decorated in a very ordinary way, but all the wood products are of the best wood, and the stone floor and marble bath are also selected as much as possible with similar colored materials, except for the faucet, the color is consistent but layered, which can be described as low-key luxury.

Li Xu didn't know or want to know where the people brought the water from, what spices were put in it, he only knew that taking a bath in it would have a much more obvious effect on relieving fatigue than elsewhere.

However, Deng Lijun was not here, and after dinner and chatting for a while, she said that she wanted to find a room to rest and be quiet alone.

Li Xu understands that after hearing so much impactful news, she needs time to adjust herself.

The door opened, and Yamaguchi Baihui, who was wearing a kimono and carrying a wooden basin, walked in meekly with his head bowed, and then bowed to Li Xu in the bath: "Young master." ”

"Hmm. Li Xu nodded, revealing a little of his body in the water.

Then, in the hazy vapor, the beautiful woman next to the bath gently untied the belt of the kimono, and the wide clothes fell to the ground one by one, and finally walked into the bath naked with a wooden basin.

Li Xuan just watched her come in, watching her pour water for herself, rubbing her back, massaging and wiping her body for herself. Although the faint sorrow between the eyebrows has never dissipated, the skillful and careful movements, the serious and meticulous eyes, all tell one thing: obedience.

This is RB women, even if the affirmative action movement is vigorous internationally, even if Americans try their best to transform RB society, but the inertia of history is still huge.

The more this is the case, the more I can feel the legend of this mother in this life.

However, even Michiko Kujo, if she hadn't been born in a high-ranking family, and it was at a time of drastic social change, there was room for a circle, and she had enough skills and support from her American father, it would have been basically impossible to start from the bottom and achieve her current career.

When I talked to Deng Lijun about Michiko before, it sounded very simple, but in fact, it was enough to write a business war novel.

Although Kujo is one of the five regents, he was also crowned a duke after the Meiji Restoration, and he is a descendant of the Fujiwara clan among the four major surnames, and he is a relative of the emperor. In fact, they don't have much real power, and they don't have much influence in terms of politics or economy.

However, in terms of culture, they are quite powerful, and the Shinto sacrifices of the royal family have always been in charge of the Kujo family, and after the establishment of Heian Jingu and Meiji Jingu, it was also the Kujo family who served as the palace secretary.

At present, the head of the family, Kujo Michihiro, is the palace secretary of Heian Shrine, Li Xu thought it was the Yasukuni Shrine when he first heard about it, and he pondered how to use the identity of the bear child as a cover to go in and set a fire.

Still, it allowed the Kujou family to be largely unliquidated after the war, and to have a complete foundation to do many things, such as sending their daughter to Harvard University, as Americans demanded.

Michiko has been a bit rebellious since she was a child, and after going to the United States to open her eyes, she was even more out of control, and after returning from graduation, she raised funds to show her skills in the mall.

I don't know what reason she used to persuade her brother and head of the family, Michihiro Kujo, in short, the family has limited support.

But this is not enough, although there are many opportunities for RB in the reconstruction, it is still not for women to dominate, not to mention that the major chaebols have not broken their bones.

So the second brother Kujo Michiyuki, who had little ability, was pushed to the forefront, and Michiko was hidden behind the scenes, controlling everything, which solved the identity problem, but also buried hidden dangers.

As a top student who graduated from Harvard Business School, Michiko has a thorough understanding of the rules of the game in both RB and the United States, and has a keen eye, and despite missing the Korean War, she still shared a large piece of the cake in the subsequent reconstruction process.

However, when the 60s came, and the Ping An Co., Ltd. built by her could go further, it was irrepressibly civil strife.

In the Kujo family, no matter whether the clan is divided, there are many people who are keen on this wealth, and there are also many who are short-sighted. They think that Michiko can do this as a woman, and it doesn't make sense that she can't do it?

Anyway, the nominal president is Michiyuki Kujo, and once Michiko gets married, as long as she communicates smoothly with her husband's family, it will not be too easy to take away the equity in her hands.

After all, the noble daughters of the RB high-ranking lords have always been used to marry in small circles, and after marrying, they naturally must obey their husbands' words - at least in the eyes of these people.

Few people speak for Michiko, and even Michihiro Kujo feels that his sister should be married. As for the partners, whether it is the Eagle family or the Mitsui family, they are all watching from the wall.

It's Kujo Michiyuki, who is the nominal president, who is unswervingly on Michiko's side, although he doesn't have much ability, but he still has a little vision. At the same time, the Tokugawa family also extended a helping hand to some extent, supporting Michiko to a certain extent.

Despite this, the comparison of the strengths of the two sides still seems to be very different, but Michiko is an outlier among RB women after all, and it seems that there is nothing to be done on the surface, but at the showdown, a pair of Wang Bang blew up the gang to the ground.

She had secretly gone to the United States before this, and found the senior she met at the alumni reunion at Harvard, the second son of Andrew Charles Lee, the head of Hayes Holdings, and Edward Pierpont Lee, who is currently in charge of the operation of Far East Investment, and married him privately.

Even if Hayes Holdings is not on the West Coast, it can be regarded as a behemoth, not to mention its pivotal position in the California consortium, and the marriage between the Kujou family and them can be regarded as a good match or even a high climb.

However, RB shattered his glasses here, as mentioned above, the nobles of the high-ranking lords are all internally digested, how can they marry the ghost beast of the United States?!

It's a pity that they can't turn the sky, if they might still be able to force people with rules before World War II, but now in this era when the father of the rice country has to press RB to the ground from time to time to rub, it is useless.

What's more, Michiko also introduced the capital of the Li family, and Andrew Li was originally developed from the Far East and was very influential in East Asia. With such a two-pronged approach, Michiko, who has the support of her American husband, not only drove away those ill-intentioned guys, deterred half-hearted partners, but also reorganized Ping An Co., Ltd. into the Kujo Chamber of Commerce, which has nothing to do with the name and the Chamber of Commerce, and firmly grasped it in his hands!

This is the process that Li Xu roughly understands, although many details are not clear, but it is enough for him to admire his mother's skill and determination.

So, in comparison, Yamaguchi Momoe's silent struggle is completely child's play. Although in her previous life, she had labels such as smart, strong, independent and autonomous, and was described by fans by the media with countless beautiful words, she was always a traditional RB woman.

Taking a deep breath in the steaming water, Li Xu looked at Yamaguchi Momoe, who had just pinched his shoulder, she was quite negative when she first came to Kujo's house.

Not to mention anything else, except for the first day when I warmed his bed, I did my best, and the rest of the time...... It's probably only slightly better than dead pork.

However, after telling Yamaguchi Momoe about the planning of the legendary curtain call, and giving Miura Tomokazu enough compensation, and letting him fake marriage with her, Yamaguchi Momoe took the initiative a lot.

Obviously, the speculation of some netizens in the previous life was correct, Miura Yuwa did cultivate Yamaguchi Baihe, and Yamaguchi Baihui also had deep roots in Miura Yuhe.

Although after Li Xu made a request, Miura was very courteous, and even a little flattering, which disappointed Yamaguchi Momoe, but her eyes were always full of friendship when she looked at him.

Great...... Although my body is not with you, my heart is always with you.

In this regard, Li Xu could only shrug his shoulders, if he wanted to blame his mother, it had nothing to do with him.

Of course, you can let her go, but ...... Where did his face go? His mother was looking at him. As soon as he thought that this could become a topic of teasing in the future, he didn't want to care so much.

Besides, he also said euphemistically that she could leave if she didn't like it, but every time Yamaguchi Momoe's face changed drastically and he knelt down and begged not to drive her away

"Please let me stay by your side, young master, I am willing to serve by your side for the rest of my life. "She's really pleading, even when it's a passive confrontation.

There is no doubt that her mother-sama or the Kujo family gave her quite a terrible pressure, so forget it, as for the physical and mental problems...... Is this still a problem?

Maybe Li Xu looked at it for too long, and Yamaguchi Baihui in the water seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, so he immediately stopped what he was doing, lowered his eyelids and waited, waiting for him to sit on the edge of the bath or pick her up.

"No, no, no, don't stop. Li Xuan, who realized this, hurriedly said.

"Right...... I'm sorry, young master......" Yamaguchi Momoe immediately apologized and wiped his body again, cautiously, for fear that he had done something wrong.

In fact, she is already good, at least she still has the idea of resisting, on her 17th birthday last year, her mother teased him with this and asked him if he wanted to add another maid this year, so Li Xu said very simply, I want to double fly Sayuri Yoshinaga and Kurihara Shomaki.

This wish was fulfilled without difficulty, and the two long-established RB actresses, not only very proactive, but also served with all their hearts, basically meeting all his requirements.

Thinking of this, Li Xu couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, now it seems that Deng Lijun will not be much better than Yamaguchi Baihui, when he was helping to solve the fake passport turmoil because of this matter, he said that he would keep Deng Lijun for ten years, but he didn't want to see her reaction, as for the result...... Ha ha......
