Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1271

Xiangzi gave a brief reminder.

Kyosuke Kousaka responded with an "Oh".

"It was my fault for being careless. Let me explain the situation. Some former noble residences around Luocheng Gate that have been completely abandoned and reduced to ruins are going to be rebuilt..."

Narrate in an orderly manner.

Kyosuke Kosaka also subtly hinted to his wives' families, "Don't be shy."

After all, he had no relatives in this world.

Of course, the one who benefits is his wife's relatives.

Isn't this normal?

After Kousaka Kyosuke finished speaking, Sei Shonagon couldn't help but speak up.

"Lord Kyosuke, do you also have some fellow clansmen on your side?"

Same flow.

That is, the "streams" that branch out from within a clan.

In this era, political success led to the expansion of the family.

One by one, large families spread out and multiplied.

Apart from the main family that has stood the test of time, the countless branch families are all specifically divided.

The most typical example is none other than Fujiwara no Fujiwara.

The internal bloodline is divided into four branches: the Southern Family, the Northern Family, the Shi Family, and the Jing Family.

Currently, the Northern Family stands out as the only prominent family, and all the families of the imperial court and government officials are descended from the Northern Family.

Even within the Fujiwara Northern Family, they can be further divided into different "lineages" based on their respective ancestors.

Examples of frequently appearing terms in modern history textbooks include the Shejia School, the Xianyuan School, and the Huashan School…

"Some of the people staying here this time are them, along with some other tributaries from the affiliated Daoist sects, but they have all been expelled from the list."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled at Sei Shonagon.

Xiangzi was somewhat surprised when she heard the word "removed from the list".

"Is that area going to become a completely civilian district?"

"Yes, these people all voluntarily gave up their family names."

"It turned out to be like this..."

"Don't act like you know everything."

"Alright, I understand what you mean. So, who will show off their skills? Hmm... Miku?"

Xiangzi smiled and looked at Miku, who looked thoughtful.

Miku wasn't nervous when she was called upon.

She simply bowed her head and then naturally looked at Kyosuke Kousaka.

"This has a lot to do with face. Since you have your own surname and family name, you are basically still a member of the nobility, so you absolutely cannot be stingy in weddings, funerals and other celebrations, otherwise your reputation will be very bad."

"That's right, that's the main reason."

Kyosuke Kousaka gave Miku a reassuring smile.

Miku pursed her lips, but couldn't hide her joy.

That faint smile was beautiful.

Kyosuke Kosaka almost wanted to go over and hug and kiss... cough, get intimate with her.

“Yes,” Su Chang suddenly spoke up, looking deeply moved. “Everyone lives a frugal life, and then uses the money they have worked so hard to save for important moments, to show behavior befitting nobles.”

Kousaka Kyosuke nodded.

"I feel like you've pretty much described the situation of most nobles."

Sei Shonagon looked at her strangely and said, "Kyosuke-sama, that's not the case."

Of course, she couldn't possibly say something that would spoil the mood.

I just always feel like our lives are too good?

It's not that Sei Shonagon liked to suffer.

Or.

No one would willingly choose to suffer.

Just thinking about how I live a life of luxury while others live a life of hardship...

She inevitably felt somewhat apologetic.

Suddenly, Sei Shonagon thought of the phrase Kousaka Kyosuke often used when commenting on others: "He ate too much."

I immediately realized that this was describing my current self.

"Pfft..."

"What's wrong, Nuozi? Did you think of something funny? Why don't you tell everyone?"

"I'm too full..."

puff!

Puff!

—Two people couldn't help but laugh after hearing Sei Shonagon's words.

This also includes Fujishikibu, who is usually very quiet.

The other person is Xiangzi.

It seems that the two of them share the same sense of humor.

Most of the other people in the bedchamber looked completely bewildered.

There were people who didn't understand the riddle Sei Shonagon was trying to solve, but none of them showed any emotion.

Oh, there's one person whose sense of helplessness is quite obvious.

It was plain clothing.

"It seems that Su Yi isn't very good at handling a girl like Nuozi."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

Upon closer examination, it does make some sense.

Even he couldn't handle Su Yi, let alone Sei Shonagon, who would occasionally act mischievously.

Some of the more puzzled people began to whisper among themselves.

Kinnara: "I'm very curious about what kind of riddle this is?"

Under the ceiling: "Does this require solving a mystery?"

Yamausagi: "I don't really know much about this..."

Yingcao: "I don't understand either."

Yaodao-hime remained silent.

The eyes observe the nose, and the nose observes the heart.

White Wolf looks exactly like Demon Blade Princess.

These two often interacted with Kyosuke Kousaka and frequently heard him say strange things.

Naturally, she quickly guessed the meaning the moment Sei Shonagon spoke.

Then, by inferring Sei Shonagon's thoughts from this, I roughly understand what's going on.

"Demon Blade Princess ~White Wolf~"

Kinnara, with his keen curiosity, immediately turned his attention to his two companions.

After they finished speaking, Tenjō, Yama-tsuru, and Yōka all watched them with a mixture of amusement and disbelief.

Such things also happened in the various small groups within the sleeping quarters.

And so the atmosphere became even more cheerful and lively.

Kyosuke Kosaka almost forgot to get back to the main topic.

Hey……

It's become even more lively since Lady Noko arrived.

Shizuko muttered to herself.

"Although I really want to go to the manor to do research, it's nice to experience this kind of atmosphere occasionally."

"Wait a minute, isn't this how it is every day now?"

"It's so lively..."
