043 There is always a big mess in life
Masahito Nanjo's face immediately changed.
Honami Nanjo continued, "The Western-style hand kiss doesn't match my kimono. And my grandfather was a very traditional person, and he didn't like the Western way of etiquette. ”
It's true, so Honami is right.
At this time, even Nanjo Masahito couldn't say anything more on this issue, he could only forcibly skip this link: "Eh, it's raining outside, please inside, my father has been waiting in the main hall for a long time." ”
Honami also cooperated with her father and invited the two distinguished guests into the house.
The group entered the house and were soon led to the hall where Hiroshi Nanjo was waiting.
As soon as he saw Councilor Asakura, Nanjo Hiroshi got up and said, "The old man's legs and feet are not very bright, and he is not welcomed. ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Councilor Asakura immediately became polite.
While the adults were greeting, Honami guided Yasumi Asakura to his place.
Then Honami sat down next to Yasumi Asakura, completely ignoring her father's instructions, and kept a distance between a man and a woman.
The maid served the tea, but Honami still took on her own duty and was responsible for placing the tea in front of Yasumi Asakura.
Then she began to drink tea on her own.
Asakura Yasumi glanced at the adults who were still greeting politely, squinted at the beauty beside him, and said, "Miss Nanjo, you ...... What do you usually like? ”
"Loved the quiet." Honami replied without hesitation.
She does like to be quiet - of course, when the kendo club is active, it is common to shout loudly as a sports club, but this does not conflict with Honami's preference for quiet.
Yasumi Asakura looked embarrassed.
It may be that this refusal is too obvious and does not conform to the policy of "saving the country by curve" agreed with Suzuki, and Honami took the initiative to add: "Just kidding." I love kendo. ”
"Well, I like kendo too, and I practiced it for a year in high school......
Just as Yasujun Asakura was about to start his story, the adults seemed to have finished their greetings, and the next step was to continue the engagement process.
Masahito Nanjo turned back and beckoned to Honami and motioned for the two young men to come over.
Honami put down the tea she had only taken two sips of and stood up and walked over with her head held high.
Yasumi Asakura hurriedly stood up and caught up with her.
**
The engagement ceremony is actually very simple and takes place very quickly.
Although it was only an engagement, it also showed that the Nanjo Foundation and Senator Asakura had formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and they would advance and retreat together on many issues in the future.
After finishing the business, it is naturally the banquet.
Rather, the banquet is the main thing, and both sides hope to get to know their new allies better.
Japanese banquets are not like in China, where everyone sits around a large table with a glass turntable and eats together.
They all use small tables that can only be used by one or two people, and each person has such a table in front of them, and they keep serving food while eating.
Naturally, Honami Nanjo and Yasumi Asakura were assigned a table for two.
Before entering the table, Masahito Nanjo once again seized the opportunity to tell his daughter: Come closer!
Not only that, but during the process of entering the table, Honami could always feel that her father was watching this side.
She could only reluctantly close the distance with Asakura Yasumi a little.
Yasumi Asakura looked very happy, and took the initiative to move closer to Honami.
Honami's body unconsciously tilted to the side to avoid his shoulder touching Yasumi Asakura.
"Miss Honami," Yasumi Asakura asked politely, "Is it my delusion, I always feel like you're avoiding me." ”
"It's your delusion." Honami replied immediately.
At this time, Masahito Nanjo raised his glass: "Let's tie the knot for the Nanjo family and the Asakura family, cheers!" ”
Honami wanted to jump out and remind her dad that she hadn't tied the knot yet, but was just engaged.
But in the end, she controlled her impulses.
Somehow, she felt that the desire in her heart to make a big fuss regardless of it was getting stronger and stronger.
Honami Nanjo glanced at the Suzuki butler who was silently standing behind her grandfather, suppressed the impulse in her heart, picked up the wine glass with the juice, and toasted with everyone.
After the toast, Masahito Nanjo continued, "Next, I would like to invite my daughter to play a piano piece to cheer everyone up!" ”
In this way, the flow of the banquet went back one after another, and soon everyone was a little drunk.
"Honami!" Yasumi Asakura was drunk and grabbed Honami's hand that was cutting the steak, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!" ”
Honami was about to respond, and Asakura Yasujun fell in her direction-
Honami's eyes quickly blocked and held him up, not letting others fall on him.
"It's so good, this kind of woman who can support men, I like it the most." Asakura Yasumi said with a smile.
The smell of alcohol that came out of Yasujun Asakura's mouth was mixed with the smell of swill—he must have vomited once when he just went to the bathroom.
This made Honami feel the urge to vomit.
She had to push Yasumi Asakura's face aside to prevent the smell of alcohol from continuing to spray her face.
"Don't be so ruthless, you're my fiancée!" Yasumi Asakura shouted loudly, and then reached out his right hand to Honami's knee-
Honami slapped his hand away.
"It's too much, Honami-chan!" Asakura Yasujun wants to repeat the old trick again.
This time, Honami aimed at his face and slapped him.
The snap was very loud, after all, Honami practiced kendo, and her basic strength was very strong.
Yasumi Asakura's upper body was directly pumped and twisted almost 180 degrees.
For a moment, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
Everybody is looking at this side.
Masahito Nanjo was furious and shouted, "Honami! Apologize! ”
Honami glanced at her father and stood up—
It gave her plenty of room to round her arms and use the strength of her upper waist — and slap Kura in the face.
The second son of the councillor was directly slapped on the table, and his face was planted directly into the plate of vegetable salad.
After the fight, Honami looked around the room and said loudly: "With such a good look, someone actually told me that he has a good character?" If he can harass me by being drunk, he will definitely harass his subordinates at his place of work, the female college classmates he met in his friendship! ”
"Shut up!" Masahito Nanjo slapped the table hard and stood up as well, "That's because you're her fiancée!" How could the son-in-law of Senator Asakura harass harass other women? You get on my knees! Apologize to Senator Asakura, and Kang Chun-kun! ”
For the first time since she was born, Honami Nanjo glared at her father.
She felt a powerful force rolling in her chest, and she was about to burst out of her chest.
Forbearance and forbearance, just in order not to make a big plan, you have to be taken advantage of by a man you don't like?
It's not that I, Honami Nanjo, thinks too highly of myself, just like this man, he deserves it?
After so many years, I gave up so many things I loved, made so many compromises, and got this stuff like this?
I've sweated so much, learned so many things, cultivated my self-cultivation, and finally waited for this thing?
I can't say a word about romance, I can't do a handsome gentleman's behavior, I only have a face - this face is not my cup of tea!
That's it? That's it?
All the dissatisfaction, all the regrets, surging from the depths of the sea of memory, converged into strong emotions.
With such emotion, Honami Nanjo walked out from behind the table and came to the middle of the banquet hall.
Then she knelt in the direction of her father, Masahito Nanjo, and her mother, Ai Nanjo, with her fingers together and her forehead touching the ground.
"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, thank you for your nurturing grace. Today, my daughter is going to be unfilial! ”
Nanjo Masahito's whole person was not good, and he was about to say something, when he saw his daughter stand up like a spring.
Honami Nanjo flicked her arm and expertly pulled the collar of the kimono in half, exposing her right shoulder and right arm – making it easier to move.
Then she lunged at the servant with the ceremonial sword for the performance—it was planned that it would soon be time to perform the sword dance.
With a crisp sound, the sword unsheathed, its blade reflecting the light of the chandelier on the ceiling.
Honami Nanjo slashes at the desk in front of Senator Asakura, and the unedged blade directly smashes the sake Fluttershy in half.
In Japan, this means tearing up the covenant.
Looking at the dish, Honami smiled, because she had never been so happy since she was born.
"This marriage," she declared loudly, "is not engaged!" ”
