Chapter 50: A Journey to Kyoto (2)

The car drove to the front of a mansion full of ancient buildings, and saw that the tallest building in the mansion was quite a miniature version of the "castle tower", and even compared in size, it was no worse than the Maruoka Castle castle tower, which is said to be the oldest surviving wooden castle tower in Japan.

On both sides of the gate nearly ten meters wide, there are several bald heads in suits and leather shoes, and it seems that they are not good at stubble.

On the wall of the side of the door, there is a "Uzuki" plaque with the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, showing the status of the Uki family.

The black Lexus didn't stop here, and when they passed the doorway, several bald men bowed and saluted, and only slowly stopped before driving into a garage, and Umu Kui grabbed a bunch of figurines that Madoka had bought from Akihabara from his seat and got out of the car.

Unlike the guests who need to go to the front yard, although Uki Kui does not come back for a long time, this is also his home, and he can go directly into the backyard with Madoka.

The design is a traditional Japanese garden, centered on planting, using masonry, granite, gravel, moss, etc., to set off the atmosphere, with stones as mountains, water features with Tingbu, and use the height difference to form gurgling water and create a landscape situation.

The dry landscape uses gravel and plants to create natural scenery such as mountains, islands, and seas, and miniature the natural landscape in a small courtyard.

With every step he takes, he can feel the scenery changing.

Whether it is in memory or in the field, Uki Kui feels that the Uki family is no worse than another famous garden in Kyoto, "Gui Rigu Palace".

This large mansion covers an area of more than 80 acres and consists of six or seven single-family annexes, and the main mansion that resembles a castle tower and is called "Usu Pavilion".

The head of the family and his wife live and work in the main house, and most of the annexes are sideways, and the family lives in one building.

Sending Madoka back to her annex first, Uki Kui walked towards the annex where she once lived.

The distance between the two annexes is not too far, only about 30 meters, but the road in the middle is a little winding, and it is a little long to cross a small bridge.

The wooden bridge painted with red paint, across a pond, said that the pond is actually a little small, said that the lake is a little too big, this water area covers an area of about 10 acres, because of the upright late autumn, the maple leaves in the courtyard are not falling on the water, if it is accompanied by the melodious flute, what a beautiful picture?

While sighing that the Umu family is worthy of being a big family, Umu Kui peeked at the slender maids who were squatting next to Tingbu and pruning the branches and leaves, most of them had good figures and faces.

Seeing a handsome strange boy strolling in the backyard, two young maids who were trimming the branches and leaves gathered together and whispered:

"Where did that handsome guy come from, why haven't I seen it before!"

"I haven't seen it either, I heard that the head of the family met with an important guest today, did he come with that important guest?"

"Look at him in sportswear, they are all ordinary brands, how can he go to a guest's house to visit him like this, it is estimated that the little young master who has been out for a long time over there is coming home."

After saying that, the maid abandoned the maid who was chatting with her on the side, trotted over, and said to Uki Kui:

"Hello, where are you going?"

Umu Kui glanced at the maid up and down, and felt that all aspects of her appearance and figure were still in the past, at least better than ordinary people, and replied politely:

"It's nothing, I'll walk around."

The maid was about to say something when an old man in a suit approached.

"Young Master Kui! You're really back! ”

The man looked to be in his sixties, his hair was already half white, and his face was already visibly wrinkled.

When the maid next to her saw someone coming, she hurriedly pushed it aside and bowed:

"Butler Anze."

I was full of curiosity about this young master in the housekeeper's mouth, you must know that I had never heard of a young master in this house before.

Butler Anze grew up in the Pelican family since he was a child, and was the childhood playmate of the deceased old family owner, and his status in the Umagi family was higher than some side branches that were not well mixed.

Therefore, even if An Ze meets a man from the side branch, he doesn't need to be called a young master.

When the maid was curious about what kind of fairy Umu Kui was, Umu Kui was reminiscing about this Anze housekeeper, remembering that when he was a child, it was often Anze Housekeeper who took him to play, but when he was older, he went to fool around with his uncle Umu Takugui.

"Steward Anze, long time no see."

Seeing that Umu Kui in front of him recognized himself, Steward Anze's eyes glowed.

"Tuogui Dan is meeting guests in the Japanese room of the Pelican Pavilion, do you want to go over and have a look?"

The housekeeper of Anzawa calls Uki Takushi "Danna", "Danna" in Japanese, which means master, but it is lower than the master's level, probably similar to "master" or something like that.

Umukui remembers that he used to call his grandfather, and he was always called "the head of the family", but after his uncle took over, he changed his name to "Danna", I don't know if it was because of his uncle's disapproval.

"No need, Steward Anze, I'll go back to my annex and have a look." Umu Kui refused, Uncle Takugui is already the governor of Kyoto Prefecture, and it is better not to mix with him as a guest of his level.

"It's okay, Young Master Kui, your annex has always been cleaned by someone, you don't mind living in it whenever you want to live, the layout hasn't changed." As he spoke, Butler Anze stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

Umukui nodded, and followed Butler Anze to his annex.

"Young Master Kui, I won't bother you, if you have anything, you can find me."

When he came to the annex, Butler Anze hunched over and retreated, and he didn't want to disturb him too much when Umu Kui returned to his former residence.

Umukui nodded and said to him:

"Butler Anze, please, don't be so restrained, I'm not the young master of the Umagi family anymore."

"No, the young master will always be the young master, and there will never be anyone in this house who can replace the young master."

Umu Kui shook his head with a wry smile, watching the old man who had accompanied him in his childhood slowly retreat.

Pulling open the Mugela door, it can be seen that the house is really as Anze housekeeper said, clean and tidy, and the ceiling light is also very bright, and it can be judged from the intensity of the light that it has just been replaced.

This annex of Umukui, from the house construction to the interior, is uniformly made of pine, and when you walk into the house, even if you don't burn incense, you can ask for a pine fragrance, which is naturally light and does not feel pungent, so it is named "Rosin Xiang Zhai".

Sneer~snort~sneer~

Hearing movement on the second floor, Umu Kui slowly walked up the stairs, and as soon as he popped his head out of the second floor, he saw a hip facing him.
