Chapter Twenty-Nine: New Year's Chances

The New Year of 2113 came as scheduled, and the streets were lit up with red curtains, and the New Year was abundant. The orderly and solemn Sakurai family mansion also took off some seriousness, and in the golden and glorious hall, the red ropes of the zenith were intertwined in an orderly manner. Under the rope, lanterns, runes, and many other auspicious and festive objects fill the originally slightly empty space with joy. The servants were in the same red Tang costume, and after being temporarily allowed to stand by and rest, they could laugh and play in the house at will.

Sakurai Daichi has been poor for half his life, and after middle age, he pursues the ultimate pursuit of quality of life and spiritual wealth accumulated by details, and does not hesitate to waste extravagance and does not want to neglect this annual festival. He was originally a lively person, even if he is now in a high position and often suspicious, but he also hopes to relieve loneliness in the festivities, so he has given people a privilege since this year.

Those servants and bodyguards, except for a few who insisted on going home for the New Year, most of them chose to bring their families to live in the Sakurai family, so that the family could experience the pleasure of castle life. The Sakurai family was big enough to clean out the unused rooms in the northwest corner of the house, and each person could get at least two bedrooms.

Sakurai Daichi also invited five generals and one auxiliary minister to stay, they are all heavyweight veterans of the blue-faced ghost, and they are one of the few henchmen of Daichi.

In this way, the Sakurai family mansion was no longer empty, and more than 200 people filled it with laughter.

Sakurai didn't hate the atmosphere, but she still locked herself in the house most of the time. In the corridors and halls, within a few steps, people were chatting in groups, mostly maids introducing each other's families, and children of the same age chasing and playing with each other from time to time. Sakurai Yue didn't dare to walk around the house at will, and the servants would definitely bow and salute with the family when they saw her, and it would be too cumbersome to do too much, and she was too embarrassed to ignore it. There are also young children who don't know how to count the etiquette, and after being forced to bow by their parents, their faces are full of reluctance, and even make a secret face at Sakurai Tsuki, if they are found by their parents, they will definitely be severely punished afterwards. Therefore, Sakurai simply avoided contact with them, not wanting to spoil the harmonious and relaxed atmosphere.

The exclusive little maid Sengoku Fumiko accompanies Sakurai Tsuki all day long, almost constantly thinking about chatting with Yuepai to relieve boredom, telling some small stories heard from private school, or improvised a dance. When both of them are tired, sleeping in each other's arms can also pass the long time.

However, it is not appropriate to avoid guests on such days, and soon Lady Sakurai takes Sakurai Moon to meet the former subordinates of the blue-faced ghosts.

At the newly placed conference round table on the fifth floor, several heavyweights in the Liyuan District were dressed in festive, red satin and red robes, which was funny and friendly. Everyone was noisy, and even the always serious Sakurai Daichi sat casually, nodding his head and talking. The melons and fruits are messy, the cups and plates are arbitrary, where is this gathering of big people, it is more like a tea party between old friends.

One of the younger, yellow-eyed and narrow-eyed, slim-fitting red dresses first noticed Sakurai Yue, who was dressed extraordinarily, smiled at Sakurai Daichi, raised his hand and asked, "Who is this dignified and virtuous young lady?" ”

Sakurai Daichi didn't need honorifics, and there was joy on the tips of his eyebrows, "This is my eldest daughter, Shan Mingyue." You can get acquainted. Come, Yue'er, and say hello to everyone. ”

Sakurai Yue was a little nervous, and hurriedly said, "Uh, hello everyone...... Well, hello guys. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was slightly strange. Sakurai Daichi's face froze, but he quickly calmed down again, "Yue'er, be happy during the New Year, these uncles are my old friends, aren't you interested in magic or the like, you can ask them more during this time." ”

Sakurai Yue knew that what she said just now was a bit embarrassing to the Sakurai family, but she didn't dare to speak casually, after all, she came from an ordinary family, and it was difficult to naturally say her words decently. So she just nodded her head and admitted her mistake.

The generals and ministers also laughed to ease the embarrassment, and one of them, a dark-skinned man with a leopard head and ringed eyes, said, "Oh, master, we are not comparable to the big families, most of us are from poor backgrounds, there is no need to let the eldest lady treat us like those dignitaries." ”

A white-headed uncle with extremely deep nasolabial folds also responded, "Yes, yes, yes." When the eldest lady spoke like this, we felt cordial. To be honest, I was upset when I learned the cumbersome manners of those nobles. ”

The yellow-eyebrow man was even more excited, "The eldest lady doesn't have to treat us politely, we all swear to be loyal to the master to the death and serve the master's family for life, how dare we ask for a status that requires courtesy." He knelt down on one knee in front of Sakurai Tsuki, "The subordinate is called Himekawa Kei, and the eldest lady just treats us as servants." As he spoke, he took Yue's left hand and slowly lowered his head to leave a kiss.

Sakurai Tsuki, who had never seen such an intimate courtesy, withdrew her hand tremblingly, and her dangerous instinct made her slap Himekawa Kai's face.

The crowd was shocked again.

Sakurai Dazhi hurriedly stood up and said with concern, "Xiao Kai, are you okay?" When Ji Chuan shook his head and waved his hand, his face was critical, and he glared at Sakurai Yue, "Yue'er, so that the temperament also depends on the occasion, if you don't like it, you refuse, is it necessary to do it?" ”

"Master, it's okay."

"Please bear with me, the little girl has been spoiled by me since she was a child, she always has a little temper, and she doesn't like to be touched." Sakurai Daichi used honorifics in a rare way.

The white-headed uncle laughed, "Master, you don't need to be too harsh on the eldest lady. She is the eldest daughter of the Sakurai family, so she should be loved by thousands of people, not to mention a slap, even if I am stabbed, I am willing and proud of it. ”

Sakurai Yue listened to everyone's conversation, and suddenly felt a kind of nausea in her heart, which seemed to be a tea party where old friends met, because of the sloppy slapping of the horse's rhetoric, it became strange and uncomfortable.

"That's why I haven't let you see her for a long time. This child is usually knowledgeable and generous, but it is not easy to control his emotions, and he treats people coldly when he is in a bad mood. "Sakurai's words are more like a face-saving rhetoric." Madam, take Yue'er out and let her reflect well. ”

Mrs. Sakurai led Sakurai Yue back, but she was not angry with the moon at all, and said with a smile, "The companions who used to call brothers and sisters are now respectful of each other, which is really a bit emotional." Madame glanced back at Qianshi Fumiko, who was silently following behind, then raised her hand and touched Yue's neck, and comforted, "There is no need to care about your father's words, I brought you to meet those characters this time, I didn't think about it well, I didn't expect that the relationship between them was no longer what it used to be, and it was full of extremely cheesy words." ”

"I'm sorry...... That, I'm also at fault, I shouldn't have a little temper, my father is right. Sakurai replied.

Madame was stunned, "It's better if you think like this." ”

When she returned to the room, there were only two left, Sengoku and Sakurai Tsuki, and Fumiko asked, "Miss, did you just get angry?" I also wonder why you say that, it turns out on purpose. "The New Year of 2113 came as scheduled, and the streets were lit up with red curtains, and the New Year was abundant.
