Chapter 32 Lord of 1 Country and 1 City

Anna's Honmaru is really big, and it's completely Japanese-style.Standing outside is very imposing - this is related to the fact that traditional Japanese architecture imitates the Tang style. The buildings of the Tang Dynasty do not have the carved beams and painted buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but the atmosphere is reflected in another way.

That is the method of making the eaves. The existence of 'dougong' makes the eaves of Tang-style buildings extremely heavy, which creates a visual impact.However, this kind of impact is not generated for no reason. Dougong looks ordinary, but in fact it costs a lot of materials, so the eaves of Dougong are not necessarily cheaper than those of carved beams and painted buildings.

Entrance is always indispensable in Japanese-style architecture, and this kind of entrance does not only refer to the position in front of the shoe cabinet in the apartment.In such a large building, the entrance is no longer that small space.

Open the front door like a wooden grid, and then you can see the first ground made of stones. This is "Doma". Things get done without getting any closer.

If it is a fee and post office transaction that requires a stamp and signature, the clerk will go further and resolve it on the 'upper box'.The upper frame is the higher place behind the 'Doma', where general outdoor shoes can be placed temporarily.This pill also has an 'upper frame', which is made of a whole piece of stone.

The "upper frame" made of strips of stone is the entrance door. The entrance door of Anna Honmaru is a sliding door woven with bamboo slices. Various bamboo slices of different colors are cleverly used to form a simple and delicate pattern. .Candlestick gently opened the door, and then came the porch.

The tatami floor has been transformed into the entrance, and the tatami mats in Honmaru here are light-colored, and the 'folding edge' is a simple and plain black.Anna was careful to avoid this kind of fringe called 'folding edge' behind the slippers in the entrance.

After the entrance is another gate, but this time the gate has become a more Japanese-style shoji gate.There are two kinds of paper doors in Japan, one is the jacket, and the other is the shoji door.Ao words are generally used for the partition between rooms and do not require lighting, so there is no restriction on the patterns and colors on it.In the case of the shoji gate, it refers to the white washi paper pasted on the wooden frame.For example, the door between the house and the garden will use a shoji door, which is convenient for lighting.

Anna has gone through three doors so far, because these doors are relatively tall, which immediately raised the style of Honmaru - just like the kind of place where people with high status would live.

The first place you enter is a spacious Dahiro room, completely decorated in Japanese style, with light-colored tatami mats and black borders.Two scroll paintings were hung on the wall, and the furniture on the floor was only a low table and a seat made of seedlings. Anna sat on it and felt that the square cushion was cool.

The only place that can be called decoration in the entire Daguang room is a corner on the inside, which is called the place between the beds.The top is arranged like a shed for gods. The only problem is that there is nothing on the place where the image of the god is placed.

Except for this large room, almost all the first and second floors of the "kou" office building are compartments separated by "coats".Apparently this is a preparation for future swords and swords. These 'jacket' decorations are mainly simple and elegant. If you want to come to a sword of your age, you should not be too fancy-even if you have it, it doesn't matter, because it can be changed, as long as you wear it Just replace the paper on the wooden frame.

As for each house, only basic decoration was done, such as closets, shelves, and small tables.What exactly to do, also need to decide after the sword Fusangshen came.

"The government has given a renovation fund of 1000 million yuan, and half of the basic decoration has been used." Candlestick Che frowned, obviously hating such things as overspending.

500 million renovation?It is enough to buy a small apartment in Tokyo, and this kind of decoration fee is definitely high.But considering the scale of the pill and the quality requirements, this is a normal expense.

Anna didn't care too much: "Let's talk about a little use first, and every time a partner comes, we will decorate one room—by the way, how much is the room decoration cost for you and Xiaoye? You must determine a number, and then you will give them to the decoration fund. Arrange it yourself."

There are more requirements for candlestick cutting. His room decoration cost is about 20 yuan, and Xiaoye's is 16 yuan, which is a little less.This is still under the premise that the government of the time provides basic furniture, such as tatami mats, etc. are also ready.

"Then it's 20, and we can still welcome 25 partners. As for the future, let's spend it from the salary." Anna didn't care about this matter, but she felt a little strange, and there was not much change to the original Honmaru. If so, where did the 500 million renovation funds go?

Regarding this question, she found the answer on the third floor!

Compared with the simplicity and simplicity of the lower two floors, the third floor should be gorgeous and classic!

"This is your space." Zhu Keqie lowered his head slightly, very calmly, as if what he said was completely irrelevant.

However...【Smile can't.jpg

"It's too exaggerated. I use such a large space by myself?" Anna couldn't complain.

"In theory, yes, but the place of work is also here."

Following Candlestick Cutting and opening the first shoji door next to the stairs, what caught Anna’s eyes was the Daihiro Room, which was slightly smaller than the Daihiro Room on the first floor. Generally speaking, the decoration here is very similar to that downstairs, with tatami mats and black There are wooden shelves, elegant terracotta vases and some simple green plants.On the tatami, there are desks around the wall, and at the top is a taller desk with some stationery already placed on it.

Don't know what a lot of paperwork they'll have, but it looks like a good deal.

The only thing that shows that this large room is different from the downstairs is probably the ceiling, which is completely a replica of the Sansong Pavilion in Eihei Temple.The square ceiling is divided into different small spaces, and each small space is a circle with old and elegant patio paintings in various background colors.

The Japanese call the ceiling a patio, and the decorative paintings on the patio are called patio paintings.

In this large room, which is used as a workshop, the themes of Tianjinghui's paintings are completely Chinese, that is, all kinds of flowers, birds, insects and fish, which are very elegant and delicate.Anna has been with the Taoist priest of his master for many years, and Kaoru has also learned some things. Seeing this, she also feels that the taste and style are very high.

In addition to the Daguang Room, there is also a special chess room, a special tea room, an independent library, a small private living room, and her room, which occupies the largest area, on the third floor.By the way, connected to her room, there is also a close room, which is for the sword Fusangshen who protects her at night.

Open her room, this is the essence of this floor - it has been divided into compartments with different purposes by ukiyo-e style jackets.If you look carefully, you will know that the patterns on these coats are not printed, but completely hand-painted.It is also luxurious enough for this kind of consumables that need to be replaced after a long time.

The overlapping edges of the tatami mats have been replaced with fabrics mixed with gold and silver threads, presumably for comfort in summer, and the zashiki balls are still made of rice seedlings, but gorgeous decorations are carefully added to the corners.Small wooden furniture like low couches are basically the Makie kind.

Gold powder and silver powder are mixed into the paint liquid, and then polished after drying, so as to have the color of gold and silver.Then use mother-of-pearl and silver thread to inlay various patterns, which are luxurious and elegant.

As for the corners and corners, they are either covered with gold or covered with silver, which is completely the ancient decoration style of Kanazawa—there is rich in gold, and the common saying is called "a place surrounded by golden and shining small judges".

"Is the renovation cost of 500 million yuan enough?" This was the only question Anna had when she visited here.

Candlestick Qie laughed: "No, the basic decoration here is already very close to the current appearance. This is the decision of the government of the time, after all, other god judges are also treated in this way."

Anna breathed a sigh of relief, looked around the house again, and sighed: "Living in this kind of house, after a long time, it's easy to regard yourself as a monarch, right?"

Speaking of this, Anna laughed: "I remember when I rented the apartment, the husband of the intermediary company said that in Japan, the owner of the house would be called the 'lord of one country and one city'."

"At that time, I still thought that Dongying had its own understanding of the size of a country and a city-in China, let alone the king, it was called the city master, and the area was also very large. But the king and the city master on the Dongpu side It’s too casual, a place like a small village can be the owner of the city by building a two- or three-story city wall. As for the owner of the country, it may not be as good as a county in Huaxia..."

Anna paused at this point: "It's even more exaggerated now. One house can be said to be the lord of a country and a city—but if it's here, it's really easy for people to have this illusion."

"You are much nobler than the lord of the city and the lord of the country." Candlestick cut looked at Anna who was getting more and more white light.

But Anna only thinks that this is candlestick Qie Guangzhong's daily bragging to herself, anyway, this is not once or twice.

The decoration on Honmaru's side seems to be almost done, and in fact it is. In less than half a month, Anna received a notice from the Government of Time that she was going to take over the house.

Foxnosuke knelt and sat opposite Anna, holding a teacup rather leisurely: "The Government of Time has solved most of the things for you, all you have to do is get your guardian to sign, after all, from the present world, You are still a minor who cannot decide this matter."

When Anna saw these documents, she was stunned【Who am I?where am i

She hadn't thought about the fact that she had an extra Honmaru inexplicably.At that time, it was almost the busiest time for her, and she was overwhelmed with all kinds of troubles.It's just that I instinctively feel that this is a good thing-suddenly there is an extra piece of land and a house, no matter how you think about it, it is a good thing.

But now that I think about it, what a crap this is!How would she tell grandpa about this?It is not impossible to directly tell the whole story to the Government of Time, and the Government of Time has not prohibited her from telling others in a small area.However, Anna herself will consciously not publicize it. After all, she has a life she yearns for more, and it is not her original wish to attract too much attention in other aspects.

As long as she thinks about needing to confess to others what she is doing now, Anna has a feeling that is difficult to explain. She probably wants her family to treat her as an ordinary girl.

It's just that this matter seems unlikely now - she should have realized it long ago, after taking over the appointment of the Government of Time.

"Ana, is this... is it true? That child of Anna inherited a shrine?" Mrs. Liu really couldn't imagine such a thing happening.

The government of the time did find an excuse for Anna, probably because the owner of the shrine, who had no children, was Liu Yingji's best friend.Before he died, he knew that Liu Yingji's daughter had arrived in Japan, so he gave Anna the shrine under his name.There is even money for inheritance tax, which is unbelievable.

"At that time, Yingji really liked to hang out with the shrine masters, witches, and onmyojis. Some of them had strange ideas-this is not impossible." Uncle Liu recalled more than ten years In the past, I still have some impressions of this kind of thing.

"Even so, Anna shouldn't be required to live in the shrine. Anna is still so young, and living in an apartment alone is already worrying. If she inherits the shrine now..." Mrs. Liu considered this from the perspective of her elders. question.

On the contrary, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu were calmer. They knew a lot more about Liu Yingsi than their eldest son. They had really seen some 'extraordinary' things.

"Anna, come in with me. I have something to ask you." Grandpa Liu got up and waved to Anna.

The two of them entered Grandpa Liu's tea room together. There was a window in the tea room, and the window happened to capture a corner of the courtyard behind. It was a kind of pursuit of natural tranquility.

The two of them sat down under the window, and Grandpa Liu thought of many things as he looked out of the window at the exuberant vitality that was getting closer and closer to summer.The most common thing is about the younger son Liu Yingsi. He once brought countless joys to the family, but he could go to a foreign country without saying anything, and never came back in the end.

He really knew why Liu Yingsi wanted to go to China in the first place, and it was precisely because he knew that the opposition was so strong.At that time, Liu Yingsi knew the power of Chinese warlocks through some channels, so he made up his mind to go to China.The risk of this business is not small, not to mention going to China in the 80s, no matter how you think about it, it is not an easy matter.

"Anna, let me ask you, have you learned those things like your father?" Grandpa Liu's voice came clearly, and there was weakness and helplessness in his voice. At this time, you will find that he is really an old man. old man.

Anna pursed her lips. Grandpa Liu didn't tell the truth, but there was no need to explain the matter. She nodded: "Dad learned the real skills in China back then, and the master is a very powerful person. I also learned from the master when I was young. It’s just that at the time I thought these things couldn’t be told whether they were true or not. It wasn’t until recently... recently that I discovered that there really is another world that I didn’t know about.”

Grandpa Liu didn't speak, just looked out of the window.The scenery in the corner outside the window was still the same, when suddenly a grasshopper landed on the blade of grass.The little thing that should be a wild cat was waiting for an opportunity, and suddenly jumped on it.

"I don't want your child to be exposed to those things, because that world is too dangerous. You are Takashi's child, and you are still a girl. I originally hoped that you would take it easy... After this life, just like an ordinary girl Same." Grandpa Liu sighed deeply, that's why he said that things in this world always backfired.

Is that world so easy to advance into?Once you're part of that world, it's hard to disengage.When he persuaded Yingji to return to the normal world, that child Yingji told him so.Whether it's because he can't return to normal life, or that world doesn't let him return, in short, he really hasn't cut off contact with that world.

Anna lowered her head slightly: "On my side, maybe my father already knew that I would have this kind of life, otherwise why would he leave me in a country where there is only a master but no relatives? I grew up by my master's side, even if it is so long All the time I thought I was an ordinary person, but once the opportunity arises, I will always step into this world."

Grandpa Liu also understood this truth, so he was even more powerless.

In the end, as if there was a tacit understanding, they avoided talking about this topic.Instead, he asked, "The shrine you inherited, your father's friend? It shouldn't be that simple, why did you agree?"

Anna's obsession with Go is not fake. In Grandpa Liu's view, even if she set foot in this world, she should not be the kind to devote herself wholeheartedly.So why bother taking over a shrine?This is really incomprehensible.

"Because my master didn't know why, and asked me to do this." Anna became a god judge, and she saw her responsibility, and her master's persuasion was just a supplement.Then it was Master's order to agree to the government of the time to solve problems for ordinary people.

If there is no need to do this, Anna needs to inherit a house at most, and there will never be such a strange existence as a shrine.

Although I don’t understand what Anna’s master meant by doing this, since the person who raised Anna for 13 years thinks that Anna should get involved in this world more deeply, Grandpa Liu can’t say anything—after all, Anna is willing to listen to his opinion, this One point is very important.

Grandpa Liu handled a lot of related documents for the underage Anna, until the shrine and the back house were all under Anna's name.Of course, the Liu family also went to the shrine during the period. The shrine itself has nothing to do with it, but the old Japanese-style house behind it completely frightened them.

The Liu family runs an accounting firm, so they can be considered a well-to-do family.But in Tokyo's Shinjuku District, it is still unprecedented to have a house with such a large area.As for the vegetable garden behind the courtyard of the house, they can only attribute it to the taste of the rich.

On the other hand, Grandpa Liu was thoughtful after seeing that the zigzag-shaped main building seemed to have many rooms: "Are there many friends living here?"

Anna would hide some things because of her special situation, but she couldn't do a lie.So I can only nod in embarrassment: "It's the same thing as Shikigami and Fusangshin."

From now on, Anna will live here. When signing the last document, the staff congratulated her: "Congratulations, Ms. Liu, from now on you will be the lord of a country and a city."

He didn't know the cause and effect of this inheritance, but the location and size of the mansion were obvious.Even if this girl relies on this mansion in her life, she will be a rich man.

Anna nodded, her expression seemed to be incomprehensible to the staff—it was probably from this moment that Anna realized that she had taken over the work of the Government of Time.I have been living in the apartment before, and the way of life is no different from before, so it is difficult to realize this matter.

The moving company moved Anna's few things from the apartment to the mansion on the Shinjuku side. People who saw the mansion moving company here were also speechless.I guess in my heart, before living in a high-end apartment, it was only for the eldest lady of a rich family to experience civilian life, and now she is probably returning to her family.

After everything was cleaned up, Anna, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, Sayo Samoji, and Foxanosuke sat around the table, studying the next thing.

Foxnosuke suggested: "In your case, one is to open the shrine as soon as possible. This is also part of Takamahara's plan to create a 'new god', which helps to collect beliefs. Then there is a lot of summoning of the sword to pay the mourning god. This is the government of the time. Urgent needs."

Anna now has no reason to refuse these things, so she quickly agreed.It's just that after I agreed, I felt troubled: "Although the shrine has been completed, it has not yet decided what the shrine believes in. Is this okay?"

"That's why it's up to you to decide. What kind of god do you think you should appear as?" Foxnosuke looked forward to it, looking at Anna with bright eyes.

Anna stroked the hair on her cheek, only to realize that this shrine actually enshrines 'myself'.Offer yourself in a shrine?He shook his head crazily, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't accept it.

"Then, what kind of shrine was originally enshrined in this shrine?" Anna couldn't figure it out, and asked Foxnosuke wrinkledly.

Foxnosuke took out the information and pointed to some photos: "The old shrine was originally called Xiaoniao Shrine, and it enshrined a divine bird. It is said that the divine bird has the effect of dispelling evil spirits. If you want to keep safe, you can pray to this god. help."

"Then let's do this, it looks very suitable for the effect-why change it?"
