Open meadows, straight avenues, rows of plane trees, workers sweeping leaves and snow......

The scenery is spotlessly clear and crystal clear under the white and early snow at the end of November, and the quiet atmosphere in the vicinity of Chiyoda Ward is really meaningful.

Stepping out of the car and standing in front of the gate to the Tianhai villa, Kamihara followed Suzu's voice and looked into the iron gate.

There are no trees inside the door.

Or rather, there are no tall trees, but only bushes dotted with a large lawn, and if you look along the straight road behind the iron gate, you can see an exaggerated mansion that can only be seen in a river drama.

Kamihara looked up, and although he didn't know what style of building it belonged to, he could see that the owner of this manor liked the empty space just by tasting the large area of vacant grass in the front garden.

It's just a simple emphasis on the word "magnificence" that doesn't need too much external foil.

The iron door opened, and from the moment she officially stepped into the manor, Suzu Kamihara kept looking around with curiosity.

It is also covered in snow, and the plain green grass is covered in snow.

"It's the first time for the young master and the young lady to come here, right?" The old housekeeper Sakura said with a smile, his smile had an old man's affinity, which made people feel kind.

"Yes." Kamihara replied.

"Then the young master doesn't need to be too nervous, just treat this place as his home, and you can visit it at will. This side is the front garden, the back garden has a garden and a pond, and there is also an open-air rest area, and there is a pavilion there, so you can enjoy the flowers and drink tea there if you are usually bored. Of course, because the weather has been so cold lately, no one will come out and sit here anymore."

"Is there anyone living in the manor?"

"The master often lives here, Miss Zhixue is also there, and the other ladies are basically already working outside, but there are two young ladies who are still in graduate school who often come back to live here."

Shigerunori Amami looked at the mansion in front of Kamihara's right side, and said in a tone of a little boredom, "I don't like this place, it's too big."

Kamihara didn't understand the reason why his uncle didn't like it, and Sakura took the initiative to help him explain to Kamihara:

"The young master thinks that this place is too big, and there are only a few people, and there is no human touch to live in, and it is too deserted."

Of course, Uncle Ying was also taking care of his young master's face and lowered his voice.

This will have a sense of fun to listen to in Kamiharaku. I think Sakura is also a very interesting person.

However, Uncle Tianhai is not a person with his ears behind, he heard these words of Uncle Sakura, and sighed:

"The old man always knew to go about his own business."

These words were heard by Tianhai Jiuliuli and Tianhai Qimingyue again, although they didn't say anything. But to the ears of Shen Yuanle, isn't this the words of the sisters?

Every day, I only know that I am busy with work, and I don't take care of my family.

Sakura was obviously aware of this matter, and it turned into a tone of persuasion:

"The young master is also married now, so he can more or less understand the master, right? The old man actually feels guilty about you."

"I know," Uncle Tianhai said without emotion, "but that doesn't mean I can forgive him, and he still wants to restrain him to this day, which is something that hasn't changed."

….

During the time he entered the mansion, Kamihara had been listening to the conversation between Sakura and Uncle Amami.

To sum it up, it actually is:

Uncle Tianhai and the old man are the same type of people, and the old man has lacked care for him as a family since he was a child, which causes Uncle Tianhai to dislike this family very much... But after Uncle Tianhai grew up and left this family, he stumbled back to his father's old path.

They are all the same, and Uncle Tianhai has also lived as the kind of person he hates.

If you have to say the difference, that is, the old man is not very dead, and Uncle Tianhai has tried his best not to let others interfere in the lives of his two daughters.

This is a matter for the elders, and Shen Yuan Le is not qualified to interject, Tianhai Qimingyue and Tianhai

Jiu Liuli didn't have any opinions, so he naturally kept quiet, and walked all the way into the mansion in the snow.

Sakura led the group into an empty rectangular room and interior in a modern Japanese style.

At the top hung a calligraphy calligraphy with a "heart", and several swords were neatly placed under the calligraphy.

Sakura had to go and prepare breakfast for everyone, and took his leave for the time being, so that everyone waited here for a while, and the old man would be here soon.

"Knives?" At a glance, Suzu Kamihara saw what was being presented under the letter.

"That's Grandpa's collection," Tianhai Jiu Liuli also glanced at and explained, "Grandpa likes these ancient knives a lot, and he collects them all if he can." Because he liked it so much, he put it in the eating place so that he could see it at any time."

Suzu Kamihara really wanted to see it, but I didn't know if I could touch it.

"Feel free to do it." Tianhai Maodian saw her thoughts, "According to the old man's meaning, he is happy when someone appreciates his collection, but my younger sisters have played too much and are not interested in his knife, but he is a little sullen."

"Oooh." Suzu Kamihara nodded repeatedly, ran over, and picked it up carefully.

The closest one she took, pinched the hilt of the knife and pulled it out, revealing the cold light.

Kamihara asked the little encyclopedia standing beside him, "What kind of knife is in Ah Ling's hand?"

"Seshu Kuwana lives Captain Fujiwara Muramasa." Tianhai Qimingyue replied.

"Demon Knife Muramasa?"

"That's it. But don't get me wrong, Muramasa is a swordsmith's name, and the knife he forged is called Muramasa, so there is more than one. It's the same with other famous knives."

"And what about the other knives? Are they all famous knives?"

The Seven Bright Moons of the Heavenly Sea said in turn: "Mikatsuki Sokon, Toshi Kiritsuna, Nagaso Yatoru Toru, Izumi Mamoru Kaneda, Taro Taito, and Muramasa - Grandpa has collected a total of seven."

"Two national treasure-level famous swords? It's so powerful."

How can a man not love knives, and Kamihara Le couldn't help but be curious, so he approached and took out the boy to see.

The knife is quite long, with a blade length of 80 centimeters and a curved handle.

The total length of the handle is estimated to be around 110 cm.

The sand flow of gold ribs on the blade is clearly visible, and it has been preserved from ancient times to the present day, and it looks as sharp as in the past.

......

Kamihara saw his own reflection in the sharp blade.

"Pickaxe making, Andong, waist is high, stepping on the posture, raw stems, stems are reversed, chestnut jiri, eye nail holes, eye cutting, gold tendon sand flow densely...... This is the boy Che Angang. How's it going, isn't it a good knife?"

….

Kamihara Le held Tong Zi Che in his hand, and before he could try to wave it twice, the energetic voice attracted his attention.

At the door stood an old man in a gray and black kimono.

Grandfather...

The current head of the Amami family named Soichiro Amami.

He has his hands behind his back, with a quaint temperament on his body, and just looking at those eyes gives people an invisible pressure.

"You're Kamiharaku, aren't you?"

"Yes, first meeting." Kamihara bowed his head and saluted.

"It's good." Soichiro Amami looked at Suzu Kamihara again, and unlike the somewhat serious expression he had on Leku, he smiled kindly, "Then you are Suzu Kamihara?"

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

Suzu Kamihara.

It was that he had never discussed his son's marriage, and it was strange that he did not show displeasure in the face of the new daughter-in-law who came to visit for the third time, and the two children of the new daughter-in-law who came to visit for the first time.

Perhaps the old man was afraid that this sentence of watching his son say would frighten Kamihara Suzu, so he turned back to her and smiled at her and said:

"Can I call you bell?"

"Uh-huh." Suzu Kamihara nodded.

"There is a birthday tea party specially held for you this afternoon, the main purpose is to announce to the outside world the fact of Maodian's remarriage, as well as the existence of you and your brother...... Haha, you know what that means, right?"

"It means that in the future, we will officially have a relationship with the Tianhai family?"

The old man nodded with satisfaction, and folded his hands into his cuffs, "This also means that you will be affected by the 'Tianhai' behind you when you travel, and there are pros and cons to this. However, our family's credibility has always been shining brightly, so there is no need to worry about anything."

"Uh-huh." Suzu Kamihara just nodded, in her opinion, this is a very kind grandfather.

After chatting for a while, Sakura and a few servants placed the prepared breakfast in front of everyone at the long table.

Meals are served first, followed by seven snacks, each with a different plate.

Kamihara only saw that the presentation was extremely exquisite, but he couldn't see any doorway.

So, Tianhai Jiu Liuli lowered his voice and explained: "In order from left to right, they are Sumu (clear soup), Gaiwu (steamed tea bowl), Boiled (stewed vegetables, fish, tofu, etc.), Ba Cun (seasonal ingredients), Yakumi (fish barbecue), Sorrel (pickled side dishes), and Oil (fried products).

"This is Kyoto cuisine, that is, kaiseki cuisine, and it is not placed in a regular order."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue explained on the other side of Kamiharaku: "Grandpa has a good face, he knows that he can't just cook some side dishes to entertain you, and he thinks that kaiseki cuisine is too stingy, so he simply serves it all at once, and you can just eat happily."

….

It's a casual old man.

Because the old man was at the top of the long table, he could still communicate privately if he lowered his voice, so Kamihara asked her again:

"Does the old man only prefer women?"

"Oh? Do you see that?"

"I feel like he doesn't look at me and Ah Ling at all. The attitude towards my uncle is also a little strange......

"My sister sauce is the protagonist of today, plus you guy's identity is sensitive, grandpa puts pressure on you is what he should do."

After chatting for a while, the meal had not yet begun, and everyone was sitting around the long table, obviously waiting for someone.

Soichiro Amami stretched out his hand to Sakurabo, who was standing at the side of the table, and ordered, "Guizhong, you go and shout the snow. Don't be late for breakfast."

"Miss Zhixue should just get up now."

"Then call the maid to call her out, everyone is waiting."

Sakura bowed and nodded, he was about to leave this Japanese room, but as soon as he walked out of the door, he froze.

Sakura said to the old man who was looking at him, "Miss Zhixue is here."

As soon as the words fell, a slender and slender girl appeared in everyone's sight, she had long black hair and a waist drop, and she was still in blue woolen pajamas, and her goose-egg-shaped face was delicate and small against the backdrop of a pair of delicate eyebrows, very well-proportioned. A pair of barefoot feet on the ground, coupled with the sleepy-eyed appearance, is really beautiful, very much like a portrait of a girl only in it.

It was originally a snowy winter, and the way she stepped barefoot on the floor was like stepping on the snow, giving people a cold and cold feeling.

If you look closely, you can still find that she is somewhat similar to Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli. Just by looking at her appearance, you can judge that she and the two sisters Tianhai are related by blood.

"What are you looking at?"

Kamihara looked at it, and the flesh on his waist was twisted.

He looked painfully in the direction of the source of the pain. Although the seven bright moons in the sky and sea have no surface

Love, but the light in the depths of his eyes was obviously telling him that she was not satisfied with his performance.

"What are you doing..."Kamihara Le whispered to Qi Mingyue, and he was also intentionally guarding against being discovered by Jiu Liuli.

"Just ask someone to take away his lustful eyes, and he can't walk when he sees a beautiful girl?"

「...... I'm looking at it normally." Kamihara is really wronged.

The girl looked at the few people who had suddenly appeared in the dining room, and the appearance she had never seen before made her tilt her head in confusion, like a lost cat.

「... Who is she?" Kamihara Le covered his sore waist and decided not to ask Qi Mingyue, but to ask Jiu Liuli.

"It's Auntie." Tianhai Jiu Liuli smiled and replied in a gentle voice.

「...？！ Uncle's sister of the same age as you?"

"Well, her name is Snow of the Sky Sea, and she's about the same age as us, only a month apart."

Snow in the sky and sea.

What a unique name.

"You... Who is it?" The voice of the snow of the sky and sea was very ethereal and small, and his eyes were full of doubts.

Soichiro Amami looked a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that he specially told this little daughter yesterday, but she still forgot about it.

"Miss, miss."

Fortunately, Sakura reacted quickly, he quickly said a few words to the girl, and after getting her nod, he took her away for a while.

….

When she reappeared, the girl had already changed into her pajamas and changed to a plain white dress worn in winter, and wore slippers on her feet.

It's just that the dumb look hasn't changed much.

She looked at Uncle Sakura, and under the embarrassed smile of the old butler, the girl remembered something, folded her hands in front of her, bowed her head, and began to introduce herself to the people she had not seen at the long table:

"When we first met, my name was Tianhai Zhixue, and I was the youngest daughter of the head of the family, 16 years old this year."

The old man is at least in his sixties.

Kamihara Raku and Kamihara Suzu are the first time in reality that they have seen a father and daughter with so much age difference.

Although surprised, it is not enough to forget the etiquette.

Anyway, this is an elder, do you have to use honorifics?

Kamihara Raku and Kamihara Suzu also introduced themselves politely afterwards.

Kamihara Le noticed one point, that is, the Tianhai family has a very high appearance.

Needless to say, the two sisters, Uncle Tianhai is an absolute, very handsome man.

Even if Soichiro Amami is in old age, he still has a full temperament, and his handsomeness when he was young can be vaguely seen on his face.

Snow in the sky and sea.

The first time Kamihara looked at her, he felt that she was as pure and white as snow floating in the air, just like her name.

"When Zhixue was born, her mother died of childbirth, and she didn't like to see outsiders, so she always asked a private school teacher to teach her at home, and she didn't see much of the outside world." Old Man Tianhai explained, and he could see that he cared unusually much about this little daughter.

Tianhai Zhixue walked quietly and came to the vacant seat where she usually sits, as if she had not heard what the old man said, like a sloth, she pulled out the chair and sat down in the usual order of movements.

Tianhai Shigeruni was also paying attention to his younger sister, and he said to the old man, "It's not okay to go on like this, why didn't you make a choice earlier?"

"I know, I've been planning to do this lately."

"Are you ready to eat?" The snow of the sky sea asked the old man of the sky sea directly above.

"Yes, yes."

After getting his father's response, Tianhai Zhixue picked up the fast child and began to chew and eat it slowly.

The head of the family also started to move, and Kamihara saw that everyone was moving quickly, so he naturally began to eat breakfast.

The breakfast of the rich family has a rather unique taste.

This breakfast was very comfortable.

This is thanks to the old man's active concern for Ah Ling.

The old man asked about Ah Ling's work and Ah Ling's work

The daily routine, understanding what she is usually doing, and how her daily life is is is clear.

He also said that if Ah Ling wanted to invest something, he could tell him that it would be no problem for him to come up with some money.

The atmosphere is very set off, and there is a daily warmth of a family having breakfast together.

These words of concern for Ah Ling made Kamihara Le feel that the old man was more like an ordinary grandfather than an extremely stern old man.

For a while, I still didn't understand, why did Uncle Tianhai hate the old man so much?

This question is something that Kamihara Le only found out after asking Uncle Tianhai about it.

Before the old man was born, he was the kind of person who was very serious about his children and lacked love, and after the birth of Tianhai Zhixue, the old man began to slowly produce some changes.

I also know how to care about my children and younger generations.

This is also one of the reasons why Uncle Tianhai is willing to return to Tianhai's house and ease the relationship with the old man.

As for Kamiharaku.

... The old man really didn't ask him any questions.

This kind of invisible discrimination creates an inexplicable pressure.

But after being reminded by Qi Mingyue, Shen Yuan Le also knew that this was the old man testing himself.

He didn't care at all, and if he felt uncomfortable or angry just because of it, that would be the most unsuccessful of all.

......

Towards the end of the meal, Soichiro Amami deliberately avoided Shigeru Amami and asked directly to Suzu Kamihara:

"Suzu, I heard that your brother is dating one of my granddaughters, well, who is it?"

「......」

After a long period of silence, Suzu Kamihara replied in hesitation:

"Seven Bright Moons."

As soon as these words came out, the table was separated from the seven bright moons of the heavenly sea and the snow of the heavenly sea who continued to eat.

Tianhai Maodian, Tianhai Meihe, Tianhai Nine Glass, Shenyuan Le... The expressions or movements of their faces and hands are stunned.

His eyes were full of astonishment.

.....。

I don't like to be lazy
