"Miss won't go, I'll go." Nomura Hanami spoke, and the matter was decided.

"Excellent." Lord Hamilton said happily; Mr. Heishi Matsui also invited Mr. Nomura. Then, at seven o'clock, the flower gin sake house. ”

"Good, I know that place." Nomura Hanami seems to have become the spokesperson of Zhu Tong.

"Tell Mrs. Wilson that I have to visit another friend, poor Carl, who is not accustomed to the humidity of Kyoto. I had to go to the hospital and listen to them. Dear Lee, you can call me Locke, and my friends call me that. Locke, remember? ”

"I'm honored." Zhu Tong accepted Lord Hamilton's kindness.

It must be acknowledged that he is well suited for the role of mediator. However, it would seem strange if all mediators did this.

Seeing Lord Hamilton's convoy leave Jiutsu, Nomura Hanami said abruptly: "Tonight, we won't go there either." ”

"Why?" Ichi Yukimi is still in Fenglu, and there are only two janitors in front of the gate of Jiujin, and there are only two of them.

"Because you've been injured in Kyoto, it's important for you to avoid going to a place like that."

Zhu Tong pondered the true meaning of Nomura Hanami, and said slowly: "Does anyone want to kill me?" ”

"Maybe it's you, maybe it's me. Anyway, we can't leave Jiujin until the matter is done. ”

Zhu Tong understood a little, Nomura Hanami's worries were not unreasonable. Matsui Heishi and Smith both knew that Zhu Tong was a difficult negotiator to deal with. If something happens in Kyoto, such as a car accident. There will certainly be another person at the negotiating table, but certainly not so difficult to deal with.

Nomura Hanami is also in danger, he has already drawn Matsui Heishi's hole cards, and without the support of the Ichi family, the Orton Corporation and the Fukui Research Institute are equivalent to empty shells. If Yukimi Iike wanted to, she could have set up two more similar organizations within a month, consisting entirely of Orton employees and fellow students at the Fukui Research Institute.

After the formal signing of Fuhua Shipbuilding, Orton Company will move to Shanghai as a whole with the shipyard; The original equipment and plant have depreciated sharply, and only this group of people and technology have appreciated.

And the safety of Nomura Hanami is a prerequisite for all this, people are in human affection, if something happens to him, things will be very variable.

"It's not good to break the promise that you promised. Mr. Nomura, I believe that Ping Zhijun will not put down the Hongmen banquet. Tonight, I'm going. ”

"Okay, if Mr. Li insists, I will have to accompany him."

Nomura Hanami said helplessly, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

Zhu Tong smiled ambiguously back, and everything Nomura Hanami just said had a tentative meaning. According to the agreement, Zhu Tong appeared as Miss Iike's personal assistant within a year of getting engaged. He had to familiarize himself with the environment during this time and try to get the approval of his family members.

A year later, on Yukimi Iike's twentieth birthday, a huge wedding will take place as scheduled.

At that time, Zhu Tong will be appointed as the president of the Ichi Foundation.

A stupid and unresponsible little white face is unlikely to be recognized by family members.

Matsui is not alone.

More than a hundred years ago, the Matsui family had a super explosion of reproduction ability for several generations, and it became a big force within the Ichi family, so it has the current status of the Matsui family.

In the Kyoto Hanado Gin Sake House, there are two members of the Matsui family who accompany Matsui Hirashi to receive guests. The old gentleman who was short and fat was named Matsui Kinhito, and he was Matsui's distant uncle.

Because of the special rules of the Iike family, only the immediate family members of the Matsui family can stay within the family. Matsui has been away from the Iike consortium for some years, and they run a sizable department store chain called Hongmei Department Store.

Tokagawa Gin Sake House is next door to Kaihongmi Department Store, and it also belongs to the property of Matsui Kinhito. It is said to be a 500-year-old sake brewery with a small scale and a slightly simple environment, so you can really enjoy the atmosphere of old Kyoto when you sit inside.

When Mr. Matsui was alive, he took care of Matsui and took care of him, and it was only in ten years that Hongmei Department Store could grow from Kyoto to all of Japan. In fact, Matsui Shikiki takes great care of all the descendants of the Matsui family. Now, it's their turn to give back to Matsui.

Nomura Hanami and Matsui Konhito know each other, and they only know each other, and people like him don't have a relationship with anyone outside the Iike family.

On the contrary, Matsui Jinren felt a little timid when he saw Nomura Hanami, and Zhu Tong suddenly realized that this was a street away from the place where he was assassinated; No wonder Nomura Hanami has a strange expression, and Miss Yukimi Iike is resolutely against him coming.

Before Zhu Tong came out, he said to Yukimi Inoike: "Kyoto is the birthplace of the Ikeke family, and if this is my future life, I should go to this banquet even more." Miss Yukimi, if you like an obedient puppet, I don't want to. ”

Ichi Yukimi's face was red when she was choked, and her inner feelings were complicated and inexplicable. Li Xiang has changed, he no longer looks like a gentleman, and suddenly shows a sharp edge.

Nomura Hanami assures Yukimi Iike that she will definitely protect Zhu Tong's safety.

So, a convoy of three RVs was driven from Jiujin. There were three well-trained waiters in each of the two cars in front and rear, and they had only one mission, to protect Mr. Li Xiang's personal safety.

Tokagawa Gin Sake House is very elaborate from the decoration to the tableware, the wooden walls are decorated with valuable Japanese calligraphy, and Matsui Heishi even changes into a solemn kimono and kneels in front of the door to greet guests.

There are only four guests today, all of whom are men, and the boss has invited four geisha dressed in flamboyant clothes. The half-aged next to Nomura Hanami are called Takako, who is the owner of the most famous Takako Geisha House in Kyoto, and the young geisha who sits next to Zhu Tong is called Haruko, and is the top brand of Takako Geisha House.

Maybe it's because of the thick fat powder, Zhu Tong can't see anything special about Haruko, her actions are so contrived, not quite Zhu Tong's appetite.

However, this shows Matsui's painstaking efforts. The tone of the meal is just for the sake of connecting feelings, and there won't be many sensitive topics involved.

Nomura Hanami does not drink alcohol, only tea. It seems to be his habit. Matsui Heishi used to be a disciple of Nomura Hanami, and he didn't dare to drink much. Zhu Tong's alcohol addiction has risen sharply recently, but he can still control himself, and only drank two small pots of light sake.

The geisha began to perform, and the yin and yang sang with great devotion. Because of the cultural barrier, Zhu Tong was dizzy, but Nomura Hanahai listened very devotedly, shaking his head and beating the beat.

"Sir, please be sure not to leave Kyoto until after ten o'clock." Haruko returned to Zhu Tong after singing a song, covered her mouth with a fan and whispered in Zhu Tong's ear. And it is pure Chinese.

Zhu Tong glanced at Matsui Heizhi, who was sitting opposite, he didn't seem to be able to appreciate the performance of the geisha, and was making tea for Nomura Hanami with his heart.

"Why?" Zhu Tong hugged Haruko and made a very ambiguous pose.

"I don't know, but I told you anyway. Before ten o'clock, there was danger on the streets of Kyoto. Haruko chuckled, and Zhu Tong's hand was pinching near the laughing hole on her waist.

"Who's the one who asked you to speak?"

"It's a young lady, and she says her name is Shanshan."

"Oh ha." Zhu Tong picked up his wine glass, poured it into Haruko's mouth, and took the opportunity to look at the watch on his wrist.

At 8:50, the meal had been eaten for an hour and a half, and it seemed that it was going to end soon.

Shanshan! At this time last year, Zhu Tong also met Shanshan when he was stabbed in Kyoto, and there was a mysterious Lady Lan that time. Could it be that Shanshan has been studying in Japan? No, Zhu Tong knew that Liu Yilan applied for Shanshan a study visa to France.

"Shanshan is Haruko's sister?" Zhu Tong said tentatively, he was a little uneasy. If one of the geisha at Takako's geisha house is also called Shanshan, the joke will be big.

"Yes, Sister Shanshan calls me sister." Haruko said half-truthfully, rolled up her sleeves and picked up the wine jug, poured wine into the wine glass, picked it up and sent it to Zhu Tong's lips.

Matsui Hirashi exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Haruko can speak Chinese? ”

"Haruko is originally Chinese, she is a graduate student, came to Japan to study geisha culture, I didn't expect to make a fake become our top brand." Mrs. Takako explained with a grin.

Haruko embarrassedly unfolded the paper fan to cover her face, revealing only a pair of soul-hooking eyes. The gesture was so charming that Matsui was stunned for a moment. Only then did Zhu Tong recognize that Chunzi was an orchid sister, the seventh of the eight-grade orchid, Liu Chunlan.

If it weren't for the thick fat powder, he would have recognized Haruko a long time ago. Although they only had a brief long-distance encounter in Shanghai.

It seems that the orchid sisters paid great attention to absorbing the essence of other countries' leisure culture, and sent Liu Chunlan to Japan to study geisha, could it be that they were planning to develop something similar in China?

Now is not the time to make associations, Zhu Tong is more concerned about what dangers he will encounter. However, because of Haruko, the atmosphere in Watana Koto became hot, and Matsui Heishi wanted to punish Haruko for drinking, saying that she should not hide her identity.

"You can't blame me, Mr. Matsui knows. If too many people knew my identity, it would be inconvenient to be in Kyoto. Ping Zhijun's wine Haruko has been drunk, please keep it secret for Haruko with everyone who sits down again. ”

Haruko smiled and was charming. This time, even Zhu Tong was stunned.

Matsui asked Haruko to sing a Chinese song, and Haruko got up and walked outside the banquet to pick up the pipa and play and sing a Yangzhou tune.

Zhu Tong took the opportunity to whisper to Nomura Hanami, "I was warned that I couldn't leave Kyoto before ten o'clock. Otherwise, you will encounter danger. ”

Nomura Hanami frowned and glanced lightly at Matsui Konhito.

Zhu Tong then smiled slightly, it turned out that it was not Matsui Heishi who reassured Nomura Hanami, but this respectful and polite Matsui Jinren; Presumably Yukimi Iike also knows something, but why don't you explain it to yourself?

When Haruko finished singing, Matsui Heishi and Matsui Kinhito applauded.

Zhu Tong picked up the wine jug and filled Matsui Jinren's wine glass, poured a glass himself, stood up and said, "I like the atmosphere of Wakukakoto very much, here, I can think of many strange things." Thank you for your hospitality, and I may be staying in Kyoto often in the future, so I don't have to bother you. This glass of wine, even if I respect you, please take care of it. ”

Zhu Tong does not speak Japanese, and Matsui does not understand Chinese or English; Before, the two only said hello with the help of Matsui Heishi's translator. Now, Haruko naturally replaced Matsui Heishi as a translator and relayed Zhu Tong's words in Japanese.

Matsui listened carefully, grinned happily, picked up his glass and said a series of Japanese.

Haruko leaned into Zhu Tong's ear and said, "Mr. Matsui tells you that he welcomes a friend like you, and hopes that you will make this place your home and come and go often. Also, what I'm going to tell you is that Shanshan doesn't like this person very much. ”

"Is there any liquor? Mr. Matsui seems to be a bold man, and men should drink spirits. Zhu Tong smiled, raised his head and drank, and then raised his glass and said.

"Watanakoto is the best sake brewery in Kyoto, and most people can only drink sake here. But Mr. Li is a distinguished guest, and your wishes should be fulfilled. Matsui said politely, turning around and yelling at the waiter outside the door. At this moment, the arrogance is fully revealed.

Soon, a bottle of Moutai was sent in.
