[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

"Miss Reina, there is your favorite cheesecake today, you can enjoy it with Miss Hashimoto." The old butler reminded at the right time.

"Yeah, look, I'm too busy talking, and it's not good to let the guests hang out in the garden." Grasping Saya's hand, Li Nai happily pulled her towards the mansion, and shouted inside as she walked: "Dad, Seijuro is back with his fiancée, she is 100% from Kyobi.”

fiancée?Has this identity transitioned too quickly?Saya turned around and asked Akashi to help explain, but the latter just looked at her with a smile on his face, and did not intend to clarify. For Akashi, it is a good thing that she can get the favor of the most difficult person in the family.

Being dragged by Reina into the big house of the main family, what greets the eyes is a huge space. As Akashi said before, the first feature of his house is its large size, and the interior decoration and furniture are mainly in Baroque style, white Pale yellow is the main color of the mansion. Exquisite convoluted leaf relief decorations adorn the walls and ceilings. The crystal chandelier in the hall is dazzling even in the daytime. It is elegant and luxurious, low-key and luxurious. Every part of this mansion Each copy is a work of art, which is dazzling.

"Seijuro, you guys are back later than scheduled."

Akashi Shunji who was sitting on the sofa still had that indifferent face, but after seeing his son bring Saya home, that cold and hard expression was replaced by a rare warm smile, which even the presence of Akashi was also taken aback. For the first time in many years, he saw his father have a warm side.

"Sorry, there was a delay at the station, so I came back a little late." Akashi explained the reason for being late to his father.

"It's good to bring Ms. Saya back safely. She will spend this summer vacation at our house. As the host, you must entertain the guests well." Akashi Shunji confessed to his son, and then he looked at Saya, "Miss Hashimoto Don't be too polite, please treat this place as your own home, don't be too restrained."

"Come here to trouble you during the summer vacation. I would like to ask the two elders for your advice in the coming days." Saya greeted the two leaders of the Akashi family politely. Huan, she can never go wrong.

"In this case, let's start with the address. Usually, you don't need to call me President Akashi, you can just call me uncle, and this person who looks like me is Seijuro's uncle and my brother. Akashi Toshigen, the one next to you is his daughter Akashi Reina, from today onwards, you will call him uncle like Seijuro, Reina..."

"Of course it's Sister Nana, right, Dad?" Lina took up her uncle's words and said to her father, "I happen to be short of a younger sister. With Saya here, I won't be bored living here."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Hashimoto, Nana's personality is too cheerful and enthusiastic. She has no sisters to accompany her since she was a child. I hope you can become good friends with her." Unlike Akashi Shunji's indifference, Akashi Toshigen's appearance is very similar to his younger brother , but his tone of voice and face are obviously much gentler, without the toughness and indifference of his younger brother.

"Don't worry, Dad, I will become good friends with her."

"Cousin, please stop, don't say strange things to Saya." Knowing that his cousin's speech is out of control, for the sake of his own future, Akashi warned her in advance.

"I took the initiative to be the commentator because I was afraid that you would miss someone's life." Reina pulled Saya to the sofa on the other side, and said to Akashi Shunji with a smile: "Uncle, I will leave this to me."

Akashi Shunji acquiesced in Reina's next move, and he let her play freely, while he held his son to ask questions, waiting for Saya's reaction.

Sitting on the sofa to rest away from the three men, Reina took a sip of the black tea placed on the low table, and then slowly opened up the topic between her and Saya.

"Your grandfather is really willing to send you to Akashi's house. Doesn't he know that when you come to Akashi's house, it's like a rabbit being thrown into a wild animal cage, and you can't get out for the rest of your life?" Saya's future worries.

"Miss Nana, what are you talking about..."

"Listen, Sister Saya, a woman who is favored by the Akashi family can never escape. Let me, my sister, explain to you the horror of the Akashi family. First, there are three types of men, herbivorous and carnivorous. , omnivorous, and the men of the Akashi family are all carnivorous men."

"Speaking of carnivorous men, Seijuro doesn't feel like me at all..." Saya understood what carnivorous men meant, but Reina interrupted her angrily.

"Too naive, you can't be fooled by their appearance of herbivorous men, under that layer of illusion, they are out-and-out carnivorous men! You are a cute prey in your current condition, and my cousin It is a lion looking for food. He is interested in you. The first thing he does is to hold you down with one paw so that you cannot escape. Then he sniffs left and right and licks right. After he feels the taste is right, he slowly starts to taste it. How about you? Am I right?"

After hearing Reina's words, Saya couldn't help shivering. She secretly turned her head to look at Akashi, then quickly retracted her gaze, and admitted in a low voice: "It seems to have this feeling..."

"Right, and the time for them to taste prey is unlimited, that is to say, they will eat for a lifetime, especially when encountering delicacies, they will be more persistent. You don't need to expect him to be bored one day, so this is also one of their advantages One, devotion. Of course, this is not enough reason for you to marry into the Akashi family." Reina will give the second piece of advice.

"Second, the rules of the Akashi family are as numerous as a cow's hair. Once you marry in, you must be mentally prepared. In the next few years, you will spend time in childbirth. Not only will you be at home with your husband and children, but you will also lose your private time. , without any freedom. For example, you have to walk behind him when you walk, and only he can read the menu when the two eat together. Body to accompany him to the party..."

Faced with Reina's scolding, Akashi, who was sitting not far away, couldn't listen anymore. He had never heard of his father's similar regulations, let alone the restrictions she mentioned. He had to walk behind when walking, It's nonsense for him to look at the menu when he goes to dinner. He suspects that she is here to make trouble, pure heart is not helping.

"Uncle, can you please call my cousin back? I haven't given Saya an explanation for the tea party last time. I don't want to change midway and cause misunderstandings with her."

"Don't be impatient, Seijuro, if Miss Hashimoto is really going to be moved by Nana, then she is not the one you expected. I know you cherish her very much, and you don't want her to leave, but this test is necessary. Yes, you have to be patient." Akashi Toshiyan comforted his nephew, telling him to stay in his seat and watch the show.

"Sister Nana, let's not talk about whether Seijuro and I will have such a day. If it is true, I will try my best to share some work for him, so that he will not be too tired. I will also arrange things at home so that he does not have time. Worry about the future, as for those cumbersome regulations, I will communicate and negotiate with him, and it should be reduced or waived."

"You choose to believe him?"

Saya nodded.

"Well, the next third point, even if there is no former fiancée in the front, the men of the Akashi family are still the hooking objects in the eyes of women. Especially when they enter college, those materialistic girls who want to fly on the branches will definitely not Will let him go, let alone those golden birds and other little sparrows in the league, you have to think about it, is it really up to him?"

"Whether it's a canary or a sparrow, they all end up being killed by snakes."

Such a concise and powerful answer immediately stunned Lina. She found that Saya was not one of those weak women in the past, who would only obey men and would not resist. For the husband's sake, sure enough, her cousin's taste is quite tricky, and he doesn't pick vases, but only looks at the granddaughter of the old belly snake. The man of the Akashi family has a really poisonous vision.

"The last one, you have to listen clearly..."

"That's enough, cousin, if you keep talking nonsense, the men of Akashi's family will be called useless scum by you. Return Saya to me. She is tired and needs to go back to her room to rest." Hearing the answer given by Saya, there is no need for him to stay in the same place as an audience at this time. With the permission of his father and uncle, he can take Saya back to his room to rest.

"Really? Then I'll take her to the room." Without letting Akashi touch Saya's finger, Reina pulled Saya up to the second floor quickly, "Come with me, Saya, I arranged the room, you will definitely like it .”

Akashi, who was left on the sidelines again, could only follow the two up to the second floor with a dark face. He had a hunch that the cousin's spoof was not over yet.

In this way, the three of them stepped up to the second floor and came to the bedroom specially prepared by Lina for Saya. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered it, Saya, who was a resident, immediately stood there dumbfounded. As a guest bedroom, this room It's really too big, the furniture inside is mainly in European classical style, there is no shortage of dressing tables, reclining chairs, desks, and wardrobes. What's more exaggerated is that the bed for guests needs a kingsize?Need a crystal chandelier on the ceiling?Such a gorgeous room should be the owner's bedroom.

"Uh... Excuse me, Miss Nana, this is..."

"This is your and Seijuro's experimental new house. Oh, no, it's the bedroom I specially decorated for you. How about it, do you like it?" Reina showed Saya the results of her hard work for several days.

"Cousin, please don't be too helpful." Akashi felt extremely helpless at what his cousin had done.

"What, you should thank me." Li Nai took Saya to the wall not far from the bed, stretched out her hand and pushed it forward, and a hidden movable door was opened, through which you can see Next door, there seemed to be a bedroom as well.

"Saya, this is designed to imitate the interior design of European imperial palaces. The next door is Seijuro's bedroom. With this small door, it is convenient for him to attack you at night. Ah, no, it is you who came to protect you when you were in danger. You can rest in peace for a month."

"Okay, cousin, if you keep talking nonsense, Saya won't be able to sleep tonight."

Akashi issued an order to evict her cousin with a cold face, and Reina also left wisely, leaving time for the two of them to spend time together. Before leaving, she still did not forget to leave a word to tease her cousin.

"Seijuro, as the next Patriarch, you have to learn to be patient, come on."
