Located in Shimokyo District, Kyoto, in the Shoucheng Garden.
This pond-like courtyard is located not far from Higashi Honganji Temple. It has few tourists and is unusually clean.
There are scattered Japanese gardens inside.
In the center of Shecheng Garden, the rocks are as steep and smooth as a screen, surrounded by a small river, surrounded by pear trees with tender white petals, and surrounded by stone benches, enclosing the middle like a grandstand.
The Holy Son of Kamiya coiled his hair, put his hands together in front of his lower abdomen, and looked not far away with a dignified manner.
Compared with the previous dress, she wore a much more conservative dress. The thick beige cotton dress not only had a dark tone that was not flattering, but also reflected the whiteness of her gooseneck.
In the middle of the gravel ground not far away, there were two swordsmen in armor facing each other, holding Su Zhen in their hands. They looked at each other eagerly, pacing slightly, as if looking for an instant flaw.
The Holy Son of Kamiya sat quietly on the stone bench and watched the battle.
The midday wind was warm, blowing the hair around her temples and also blowing the new vines on the ground.
"It's been five minutes and I still haven't done anything. Even if I yearn for ancient times, I still don't understand what this means."
Sitting next to the stone bench was Mizusawa Natsuye. Her eyes gradually showed impatience, and she fanned the fan in her hand with some frustration. She couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
She was still wearing an aqua blue kimono, with clogs and socks on her feet. It seemed that this outfit was her standard outfit.
In response to her impatience, Seiko Kamiya, who was sitting on the stool, did not make any move. He just looked into the distance with his eyes intently and explained casually.
"They are waiting for each other to show their flaws."
"What's the flaw?" Mizusawa Natsuye pointed at the masked swordsman in the front right: "This kid from your branch looks very powerful, even more powerful than that one."
"Before the victory or defeat is decided, let alone strength or weakness."
What Seiko Kamiya said was somewhat ambiguous.
Mizusawa Xiaye narrowed her peach blossom eyes and said softly with a smile: "I just think he is quite handsome."
"Graduated from Dongda University, my conduct is acceptable."
Speaking of this, Shengzi Shengzi paused, glanced at her, narrowed his slender eyes and asked: "If it's interesting, do you need me to introduce it to you?"
"Am I such a woman who doesn't refuse anyone who comes?"
Mizusawa Natsuye's laughter was still the same as before.
"I didn't say that." Shengzi Shengzi withdrew his gaze and looked at the two people who were already moving.
It seems that the momentum has been built up to its peak.
Or maybe there is really no flaw.
The man on the right takes the lead in doing a forward split with his hips.
"What aspects are you going to let him take over?"
Mizusawa Natsuye asked listlessly.
Seiko Kamiya thought for a while and then gave the answer directly: "Finance, this kid has a wolfish nature and is quite ambitious. Although finance is currently in decline, if you put it in his hands, it might be able to improve."
The current financial industry is very difficult to do.
In other words, finance has been in decline since the bubble economy was burst. After all, the most inflated industries at that time were the stock market and the real estate market.
However, the financial industry also includes banks.
The swordsman on the right is a very outstanding young man in the Kamiya family branch. He also majored in finance at Tokyo University, and his father is also a senior executive of the Kamiya family's Mitsubishi branch in Kyoto, so he is worthy of training.
"This kid is only in his early twenties. It will take at least ten years for him to sit in a certain position."
Mizusawa Natsuye chuckled and made a casual comment. In fact, it's almost the same. The social trend is to rank based on seniority. What's more, the financial industry is deteriorating now. If you want to move up in the banking industry, you can't just skyrocket to the top if you have the ability like in the 1980s and 1990s.
.
But in terms of ability, if he can be recognized by the Holy Son of Kamiya, he should be outstanding.
However, when he heard the word wolf nature, Mizusawa Natsuye's hand holding the fan paused, then returned to normal, leisurely crossing his legs, with a light shining in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
"Maybe." Shengzi Shengzi responded casually.
Mizusawa Natsuye looked at the two people fighting fiercely in the gravel field. In fact, she didn't pay attention to it at all. She just shook her fan as if unintentionally and spoke slowly.
"Father once said that your Kamiya family is very courageous in handing over power to the branch. It is because of this courage that we have gathered so many people and have never gone downhill for so many years."
"I think what my father said is right, but I'm just a little woman. I don't have such courage and courage. I think it's better to keep some things in my own hands."
"Furthermore, I feel that people's hearts are unpredictable, and I have never felt that I am the smartest person. I have tried before, but the wolf cubs are always unfamiliar, so I reluctantly cleaned up the house before there was any hidden danger."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Shengzi Shengzi interrupted her, and his maroon pupils turned sideways.
Mizusawa Natsuye laughed, still looking at the two swordsmen who were still confronting each other, and covered her mouth with a fan embroidered with flowers, birds and mountains: "I just care about you."
"Holy Son, you are not in good health, my beloved son has little experience, and your younger brother doesn't seem to be very ambitious."
As if she noticed that the eyes of Shengzi Shengzi were getting worse and worse, she did not continue to speak. Then she changed the topic and said the words hidden under the scroll:
"If someone with big ambitions takes a liking to Nuo Da's family fortune, it might be a huge trouble. After all, who will be there after you leave?"
Mizusawa Xiaye seemed to be tired of shaking, and put the fan lightly on the stone table next to him, and said with a smile: "Don't mention other people, even this child, when you really leave, who can suppress you?"
Where is he?"
Seiko Kamiya fell into silence.
This time she did not refute Mizusawa Natsuye.
As she said, before the Kamiya family was passed down to her or even her father's generation, the main line had always been sparsely populated, often only having two or three children.
But how can a behemoth like the Kamiya family, which radiates across various industries, be controlled by just two or three people?
Compared to outsiders, the branch of the family is not only prosperous, but also has many talented people. It probably also has the traditional concept of a samurai family. Since her great-grandfather's generation, power has been divided among several branches.
The children of the branch are also very competitive. There is always no shortage of capable people, and they can basically secure their positions.
The advantage is that the Kamiya family has never fallen into a trough in so many years. Even when the bubble economy was burst, it was the least damaged among the famous local families in Kyoto, which shows its advantages.
But if there are advantages, there will naturally be disadvantages.
Even if all kinds of control rights and other core rights and shares are in the hands of the owner, it may not be able to hold on, depending on the ability and courage of the people in the owner's family.
Her grandfather and father both did it, and as a woman, she has firmly secured this position.
But as Mizusawa Natsuye said, neither Aiko nor her unambitious and timid brother obviously have the ability to take over this position. Even if she has confidants staying in the club, she can't guarantee that they will be able to sit securely.
After all, the branch's power has become too great in recent years.
This can be seen from the fact that Qiuting Lianzi instigated several branch clan elders to dare to come to her door to beg for mercy.
If my father was still alive, those old people would probably not come at all, nor would they dare to come. I didn't dare to move while they were there, but what would happen after I left.
Kamiya Seiko's fingers touched his lower abdomen.
The tight strings in my heart could not help but slowly loosen.
However, Mizusawa Xiaye only saw the solemnity and silence on her face. He knew that his words had touched her pain point, and the corners of his lips rose slightly for a moment.
She didn't know why, but she felt particularly unhappy ever since she found out that Kamiya Seiko was going to marry Minamoto Yorimitsu.
This level of revenge is actually nothing, but seeing Seiko Kamiya deflated, she felt a bit like a child, probably happy because others were unhappy.
However, before she could be proud for a while, Shengzi Shengzi suddenly said: "Of course there will be someone by then."
"Don't be so harsh." Mizusawa Xiaye couldn't help but roll his eyes at her when he heard this and said, "You want to say that you want to say Commissioner Yuan? If you want to say that you like him, I still believe it, but if you want to say that you are willing to hand over the Kamiya family, you can kill him.
I don’t believe it either.”
Even if they were a wealthy family, they would still be bound by social rules. If they had no heirs, her move would undoubtedly be handing over the family property to others, and she would never believe it.
"I believe in our child." Shengzi Shengzi removed his hands from his belly and said in a neutral tone.
"Child." Shuizawa Xiaye's brows jumped slightly when he heard the word, and his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "Can you get pregnant?"
"I'm in good health," Seiko Kamiya said.
Mizusawa Xiaye looked at her in surprise, but in the end he forced a smile twice and said as if to comfort himself: "Haha, even if you plan to get cured, you won't get pregnant soon. You can't have a child just by saying you have it."
.”
Shengzi Shengya slowly turned his head, looked at her, and rarely called her name: "Xia Ye."
"What's wrong?" Mizusawa Xiaye looked at those solemn chestnut eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
"You're going to be an aunt."
When these words came out of Kamiya Seiko's mouth, she saw Mizusawa Natsuye, who was only thirty centimeters away from her. Several expressions appeared on her charming face, ranging from astonishment to shock, and then from shock.
He was suspicious, and there was even a trace of anger hidden in his eyes.
As the recipient of such shocking words, Mizusawa Natsuye naturally had to pass through the nerve center before reacting, and it took a few seconds for her to react.
No matter what the situation is, whenever you hear something like a friend being pregnant, you will feel a little unreal. But after returning to normal, Mizusawa Natsuya started asking questions continuously like a normal person.
"What!?"
"So fast!?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Faced with such a question, Seiko Kamiya did not explain, but rummaged through the satchel at his side, took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to her.
Mizusawa Natsuye opened her lips slightly, her beautiful peach blossom eyes widened, and took the paper in disbelief.
She had just opened it, and when a series of numerical values and medical vocabulary came into view, Shengzi Shengzi opened her mouth and said with a normal expression.
"Nothing is impossible. Although I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, what you see is the fact."
Mizusawa Xiaye looked at the report sheet, her fingers couldn't help but tremble, she subconsciously increased her strength, and said through gritted teeth: "How could he be so accurate!?"
If you want to have a child normally, even without any safety measures, you won't be able to have a child so quickly.
I remember that the last time I went to Kamiya's house to look for her, Minamoto Yorimitsu was also there. Judging from the condition of the two of them at that time, it was probably just the beginning.
Calculating the time, it has only been ten days. How could it be possible so soon? The probability is extremely small.
But looking at the report in her hand, she knew that Seiko Kamiya’s character would not make fun of her, so she couldn’t help but ask: “Are you really planning to marry her?”
"Otherwise." Shengzi Shengzi looked at the two people in the field again and said: "I can live for another twenty years for this child and personally train him to grow up. The first thing to bear the brunt of is that he cannot live without his father."
Mizusawa Natsuye took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down, but her high chest still kept rising and falling.
She gritted her white teeth and couldn't help but sneered on her charming face: "How sure are you that it's a boy?"
"Girls can do it too, I am an example."
Seiko Kamiya seemed to have expected this, and just raised his finger to express that he had no prejudice against men and women.
Mizusawa Xia Ye was choked, but then she remembered something and sneered: "Is this child unwilling?"
"If you don't want to, I've tried my best. At least I have the dignity to tell myself to my father."
Kamiya Seiko hesitated this time, but this hesitation did not last long, and his eyes turned into determination. Now that she had decided, she would not regret it. After working hard, she would be clear of guilt.
Shuizawa Xiaye's eyes widened: "You"
"aunt!"
At this moment, a respectful voice came from a distance. I don't know when the fight was over, and the swordsman on the right trotted over.
Taking off his sweaty helmet, the young man lowered his head slightly with a respectful look on his face, and first said hello to her.
In contrast to the young man's respect, Seiko Kamiya, whose conversation was interrupted, had a calm expression on his face. He just nodded slightly, hummed, and then asked directly.
"Planning to stay in Kyoto?" She raised her eyes slightly.
"Yes, my parents are at home. I don't want to be too far away from home in Tokyo. I have also asked my father about his intentions. I plan to come back and start from the grassroots level of Mitsubishi."
The young man lowered his head slightly so that people could not clearly see what was in his eyes, but his voice was full of respect and humility.
"Your father is retiring next year, right?"
Holy Son Kamiya asked after a moment of silence.
"That's right, we basically no longer deal with affairs now."
The young man couldn't help but replied quickly after hearing this.
She nodded, as if she had already made up her mind, and said in a calm voice: "Mitsubishi will launch a new young talent plan this year. In addition to Upper, Middle and Lower Sankyo District, you can choose a branch to work there, and I will arrange financial classes for you.
Department chief, you should know how to do it."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then he clenched his fist and felt a little happy, but he forced himself to calm down and said, "Thank you, aunt!"
Holy Son Kamiya then waved his hand.
This young man was also very sensible. He bowed respectfully at ninety degrees again and then slowly left the place.
Wait until it's completely quiet here.
Mizusawa Xiaye didn't care about the arrangements she had made just now, she just called out with a gloomy face: "Holy Son."
"Call me Mrs. Gen." Seiko Kamiya interrupted her, his voice more decisive and stern than before.
