The banquet was held at the old Bamboo Forest Garden, located in Otsu City, Sakyo District, adjacent to the foot of Mount Hiei and just on the southwest side of Lake Biwa.
The surrounding towering old trees are also very peaceful.
But when we drove here, the clouds were so thick that we couldn't see the moonlight, the thick water vapor near the lake also looked like fog, and half of the stars were obscured.
The Maybach drove along the mountain road and did not arrive at the banquet venue until about ten minutes later.
By the lakeside, which is completely silent, only the old bamboo forest courtyard is brightly lit, like a bright light in the quiet forest.
Bentley Mulsanne, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Lexus, Toyota Alphard, high-end commercial vehicles were parked in front of the courtyard pavilion, but there were very few sports cars.
All in all, they look like luxury cars.
Minamoto Yorimitsu stared at the door, walked out of the car with Nagayama Hide opening the door, took in all the magnificent luxury cars in front of him, and stood on the ground.
He still wore a suit today, with a dark suit vest underneath, and a dark blue tie fastened with a tie clip, showing off his waistline perfectly.
There is a ribbon clipped to the left neckline, and her hair is not deliberately styled, but it looks more stylish.
Looking at the courtyard not far away, Seiko Kamiya was talking to the people around him. He seemed to have noticed Minamoto Yorimitsu here, and smiled and waved to him.
"This way."
Minamoto Yorimitsu nodded after hearing the words and walked over.
I also saw clearly how she was dressed today.
Kamiya Seiko seems to prefer black and red. Today, she wore a silky black dress, but it was like a halter top, almost clinging to the exquisite curves of her body.
The black skirt split at the thighs, revealing her skin as white as snow, and her back also showed whiteness, which contrasted with the red high heels under her feet.
There is also a crimson ribbon wrapped around both wrists and wrapped around the back as a foil. The whole person's temperament is like the quiet lotus when they first met.
"The way you are dressed today, I think, is pretty good. Can it catch Yuan-kun's eyes?"
When he approached, Shengzi Shengya lifted some skirts, the gold bracelet on his left wrist swayed, and the ravine on his chest became whiter.
Her gray hair was tilted to the side and was not tied up with a hairband. The golden earrings in the shape of wheat ears swayed, making a low-volume collision sound.
It seemed that she had specially applied eye shadow today, but it was a slightly gray color, which complemented her brown eyes perfectly, and her smile was even more charming than that day.
"Please don't get too close to me." Minamoto Yorimitsu said.
"Why?" Shengzi Shengzi was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Isn't it beautiful enough?"
"I have imagined countless times that if I go on a date one day, my girlfriend will be like Miss Shengzi."
Minamoto Yorimitsu stared at her cheek and said.
"It's a pity that it's not just you and me today."
Shengzi Shengzi pursed his lips, feeling his eyes that had not moved away, and squinted at his penis and said: "But I can do it once if I have time."
"Then where should we go?" Minamoto no Yorimitsu thought for a moment, but followed the words: "Would you like to take a boat ride on the Kamogawa River, or go to the flower path to enjoy the maples?"
These are the holy places for couples to date.
Even if I have never been to Kyoto.
I also know this is a place where couples go.
"These are too luxurious for me. I am usually too busy, so I don't have free time to play."
The person who had just been talking to Seiko Kamiya had already retreated in a sensible manner. When faced with his question, he only showed that he had a slight headache and had no time to go out and play.
"Then I will wait until Miss Shengzi retires."
The expression on Minamoto norimitsu's face was indifferent, and his tone didn't sound like a lie. He just explained calmly:
"No matter how fast the gear turns, it will eventually stop. When you are no longer busy, I can put this gem of yours in my jewelry box."
"This is a good suggestion."
Shengzi Shengya nodded, seemingly satisfied with what he said, but then suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile: "But the jewelry box you mentioned, doesn't it have other gems in it?"
"Of course not." Minamoto Yorimitsu immediately denied it, his face so calm that it didn't look like he was faking it.
Something as precious as a gem.
How is it possible to put it in a box?
Do you think I can't afford the box?
Let the foreigner next door see it and say I can’t afford it?
There certainly won't be any other gems.
Because other gems are placed in other boxes.
However, when Yorimitsu Minamoto came to his senses and was about to flirt with Shuangliu again, the other party took the initiative to come closer and took his arm with the fragrant breeze.
"Mr. Yuan, Deputy Governor Xiaolin is here."
Hearing this, Minamoto Yorimitsu raised his eyebrows, followed her line of sight, and saw a fat middle-aged man in a gray suit walking out of the courtyard.
The middle-aged man is fatter, but he does not look bloated, and he always has a warm smile on his face.
She doesn't look too young anymore, her temples have turned slightly white, but her whole body is in good spirits.
This fat, slightly old face looked familiar, as if I had seen it before, but it seemed to be on the local station in Kyoto.
But when he came closer, he saw Seiko Kamiya holding Minamoto Yorimitsu's arm, his eyes flickered a few times, but the warm smile on his face became stronger.
"Kamiya-san, good evening."
Kobayashi Toyocheng said hello, and then looked at him with a smile: "I guess this is Yuan-san, right?"
Seiko Kamiya smiled and nodded in return, but held his arms tighter, then raised his hand and introduced:
"Let me introduce you to each other. This is Kobayashi Toyocheng, who is also the person in charge of inviting you this time."
"Governor Xiaolin, I've heard of him for a long time."
Minamoto no Yorimitsu kept a smile on his face and stretched out his hand.
The second part of the sentence is not a compliment.
I have indeed heard of the famous name for a long time in the past few days.
Kobayashi Toyosei also extended his hand. The governor was quite happy to hear the first half of his sentence, but the second half asked a little strangely: "Has Yuan-san seen me before?"
"I have met your wife before, and I often saw Governor Kobayashi when watching TV."
Minamoto norimitsu replied with a smile.
This sentence surprised Kobayashi Toyocheng, especially when he suddenly mentioned his wife, the look of confusion on his face became even stronger: "My wife? Tamago?"
Seemingly aware of his doubts, Seiko Kamiya pursed his lips and explained.
"I almost forgot to mention that Yuan-kun also lives in the Heian Shrine now, which is the Juran Pavilion next to your home, so you are still neighbors, and it is normal for you to have met Yuzi."
"Are we still neighbors?" Kobayashi Toyonari was very surprised when he heard this. He squeezed Minamoto Yorimitsu's hand tightly and said with surprise on his face: "It's so rude to say that. I have never visited before."
It's quite a coincidence to say that.
Although there are many upper-class people living in the Heian Jingu Gardens area, it is not the only place in Kyoto, let alone a neighbor.
Then it is indeed normal to meet your wife.
The deputy governor of the Kyoto Prefectural Government was not as domineering as expected. On the contrary, he was particularly easy to talk to and treated Minamoto Yorimitsu as an equal.
You must know that the deputy governor of the government office is already at the top level of Kyoto, not to mention that he has family support behind him, otherwise he would not be able to hold a banquet.
But even though Minamoto no Yorimitsu was very young, the other party did not look down upon him in the slightest. Instead, he entertained him with a smile on his face. He became even more harmonious after mentioning that they were neighbors.
Minamoto Yorimitsu was somewhat impressed by the emotional control of these people, but he did not stop being polite on the surface. He just replied politely: "It's because I haven't had time to visit you yet."
"That's too strong a statement. No wonder I was invited by Kamiya-san to be my dance partner. Yuan-san is really young and promising."
Kobayashi Toyocheng chuckled twice, and looked at their arms holding each other's arms in a meaningful way.
"You are really flattering." Minamoto Yorimitsu said.
New vehicles will arrive soon.
An assistant came up to Kobayashi Toyocheng and whispered a reminder in his ear. Then he nodded to show that he knew, and then nodded slightly to indicate to them:
"Kamiya-san, please take Yuan-kun into the venue for a walk first. I still have guests to receive. I'm sorry."
They exchanged some pleasantries with each other, especially Seiko Kamiya, whose speech was impeccable. Although they both had the temperament of a superior, there was no conflict.
After Kobayashi Toyonari left, the two of them walked towards the old bamboo forest courtyard, but Minamoto Yorimitsu suddenly asked:
"Are Governor Xiaolin and his wife married?"
These words made Seiko Kamiya, who was holding his arm beside him, pause for a moment, and even Minamoto Noraimitsu's body was stopped for a moment, looking at him with some confusion.
"Miss Holy Child?"
"Sorry, I was a little distracted." Kamiya Seiko suppressed the uneasiness in his eyes and answered his question: "The Tamako family is a famous local family in Nara."
Nara was also a former ancient capital. Although there are no financial groups like Kyoto, there are also many families and well-known clubs, and the overall ancient style continues.
Minamoto Yorimitsu noticed the unnaturalness she had just acted, and suddenly remembered the other party's family background, and it was very likely that her previous husband was also married, and he understood something in his heart, but he still pondered for a moment and asked:
"The relationship between marriage shouldn't be too good, right?"
"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Shengzi Seiko opened his lips slightly and turned his beautiful face to ask.
She had been holding Minamoto Yorimitsu's arm tightly.
Even half of her body was nestled in his arms.
Now he turned his face to her side and looked at her again. The fragrance on the tip of his nose was even stronger than before, and his delicate collarbone skin was as white as the snow on the high mountains of Hokkaido.
Especially after Minamoto no Yorimitsu felt it a little bit, and looked at the smile in her eyes, he was even more convinced of the term "double first class", and only Koto could compete with her.
It's thanks to his experience these days.
Otherwise, the scene may be a little overwhelming.
"It's just a little emotional."
Minamoto Yorimitsu glanced back and glanced at her perky buttocks. He quickly gathered his thoughts and thought of Mrs. Kobayashi, and said in a calm voice:
"Although she looks glamorous and possesses things that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, she has lost the qualifications to have true love, which can be regarded as being imprisoned in a different way."
"It should be an exchange of equal value." Shengzi Shengzi's expression did not change, but the smile from before was gone.
"But who doesn't want to be greedy?"
Minamoto Noraimitsu said with a smile: "At least if I were born into a rich family, I would rather give up everything than be coerced by selfish interests."
"What you said is really too simple." Shengzi Shengzi's eyes flashed, and he narrowed his narrow eyes slightly and said: "Some things are not just meant to be thrown away."
"But the risk of marrying someone you don't love is too great. I absolutely cannot accept it anyway."
Minamoto Yorimitsu certainly knows that what kind of family you are born into will have to bear the corresponding price, and those who have wealth that ordinary people do not have will also be subject to corresponding constraints.
But he is very determined about marriage.
Mainly the bloody examples are mentioned above.
If you don't agree with me, I'll put a hat on you!
Who can bear this risk?
Governor Kobayashi’s cuckoldry can no longer be suppressed!
"Is Miss Shengzi too close to me?"
Minamoto no Yorimitsu glanced at his side, thinking of Kobayashi Toyosei's gaze just now, he couldn't help but smile and remind him.
"That's not what you did to me a few days ago."
After hearing this, Seiko Kamiya bit his lower lip, raised his slender fingers, and pointed at Minamoto no Yorimitsu's heart. He sighed faintly and asked with a forced smile:
"If you get it, you won't cherish it. If you have enough fun, you will throw it away. Is it right for my sincerity to be trampled on by you like this?"
Minamoto no Yorimitsu stared at this.
Good tea, good tea!
A sneak attack without saying anything, right?
You can do this!
Much better than your sister!
"Miss Shengzi is not sincere."
Seeing what she said, Minamoto Yorimitsu rudely held Kamiya Seiko's waist, still with a decent smile on his face and asked: "Since you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend, how can you not pay the price?"
Feeling the heat coming from her waist, Shengzi Shengzi's ears turned red and her body tensed unconsciously, but she soon relaxed forcefully.
Without leaving a trace, she took Minamoto Noraimitsu's hand off her waist, not even holding her arm tightly. She said calmly:
"You were obviously responsible for this, right?"
"Why do you say that?"
Minamoto Yorimitsu picked up the tall glass on the waiter's tray and gestured to her: "Would you like some champagne?"
At this time, the two of them had already entered the courtyard.
The outside environment of the old bamboo forest courtyard is dark, but after passing through the ancient corridor and entering the lobby of the villa in front of me, I found that the banquet hall is European-style.
The luxurious crystal chandelier exudes its own brilliant colors. The entire banquet hall is about several hundred square meters, and the orange light is bright and soft.
There was a blur of people in the banquet hall, mostly middle-aged people. The men were in suits and leather shoes, while the women were wearing various formal dresses. Of course, some were wearing kimonos.
Orchestral music was playing here at the same time, melodious but not harsh. Minamoto Yorimitsu looked towards the corner of the banquet hall, and it turned out to be a fully equipped band playing.
Men and women chatted with each other, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and freehand, filled with the atmosphere of an upper-class dance party.
I don't know whether it was because of their charming temperament or other reasons, but many people in the banquet hall paid attention to them at this moment.
"You helped me deal with the problem before. You should have called President Nakamura in Osaka, right?"
The Holy Son of Kamiya asked after being silent for a moment.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu nodded slightly, but did not deny this: "It is indeed my request to Nakamura-san."
He owns 10% of the equity of Kansai International Airport, where he also holds the title of executive director. Naturally, he has to go directly to the chairman if he needs to handle matters.
After all, Yorimitsu Minamoto accepts shares every time.
They have all stated that they will not participate in management, but of course they will get more dividends and benefits than others, and no one is willing to sell this face.
Therefore, Minamoto no Yorimitsu is not so much a master of a sharp sword as he is holding a sharp sword but not using it, just hanging it on his waist, not threatening others while preserving face.
Because he doesn't need to fight for anything.
Of course you won't make enemies if you don't want anything. As for having equity and being envied by others, that's another matter.
Seiko Kamiya looked at him again and asked: "Then did you say something strange to Chairman Nakamura, such as almost becoming the son-in-law of the Kamiya family?"
"That was just a joke."
Minamoto Yorimitsu answered with a slightly raised eyebrow.
He did say this.
It's just a real joke. After all, these topics are always inseparable from men's conversations.
But since Holy Son Kamiya said so.
There is definitely a problem there.
But he didn't think much about it yet.
I feel that the soft body of Seiko Kamiya is leaning closer again, the fragrance is even more fascinating, and even the narrow and beautiful eyes have eye waves:
"You think it's a joke, but it has spread throughout Kyoto circles that I want to elope with you."
