Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 211

Previously, all the men of the tribe went to the Bureau of Investigation and Punishment to serve as firemen.

Although the daily allowance was not much, it was still better than when life was difficult.

Men who should have married later in life tend to become less impulsive and more serious about their work after marriage.

There are many instances where people in plain clothes have begun to understand the contents of the books they once read.

Start a family, establish a career.

So that's what it meant.

Her husband, Kyosuke Kousaka, must have felt the same way.

He is happy when he is at home, and he is also happy when he goes out to work.

"Winter fruit".

"...Yes, Lord Suyi."

Irusu Fuyumi, who was recording personnel information, was almost startled.

But she had a strong mental fortitude and reacted quickly.

She first stood up, bowed her head, and showed a respectful expression.

Su Yi felt a little apologetic upon hearing the rapid beating of her heart.

She usually doesn't pay attention to her surroundings when she's thinking about walking.

Can you write Chinese characters?

“I learned some things from my father when I was a child.”

“That’s good. You’ll follow me today.” A friendly smile appeared on Su Yi’s face.

This woman is intelligent, talented, and pragmatic.

Su Chang felt very happy.

She decided to give Iruka Fuyumi a second chance.

She had already inspected it yesterday.

Fuyumi Irisu and her maid Chitanda are friends.

My father was still working as a clerk in the household office, but he was quite capable.

No wonder she has such a wonderful daughter.

Su Chang thought that if Kousaka Kyosuke were to take a liking to Irisu Fuyumi in the future...

That's a good thing too.

The fact that both father and daughter are so capable certainly contributes greatly to the stability of the mansion.

Naturally, Su Yi wouldn't make any decisions for Kousaka Kyosuke.

If things don't work out in the future, she will help consider Izumi Fuyumi's marriage.

Then he took complete control of her.

"Yes, Lord Suyi."

Despite not knowing the situation, Irisu Fuyumi agreed without hesitation.

The treatment they currently enjoy can be considered to be among the highest levels of ordinary people in this era.

Being too tactless will only make those in power feel disgusted.

This is an absolutely inviolable principle.

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Kousaka Kyosuke, along with Su Chang, Yaodao Ji, and about a hundred Qin clan members, headed to the Arakawa territory.

The Qin family members all knew how to travel quickly, so they were not slow along the way.

"Lord Kyosuke, where is the location chosen for the official residence?"

"Let's choose a location on the north side of the village."

"If we go closer to Seven Horns Mountain, we might be able to see the white wolf every day."

Su Chang, who was hurrying along, couldn't help but chuckle softly.

She really liked the little white wolf.

She also really likes the nine-lives cat.

It's just that the nine-lives cat only sleeps and eats all day long, which is a bit too boring.

Su Chang had observed it.

The nine-lived cat, who only knows how to eat and sleep, hasn't grown a belly, but its chest and buttocks have grown quite a bit.

The husband wasn't interested.

But he's interested in a white wolf that hasn't even taken human form yet... How strange.

Kousaka Kyosuke had no idea that Su Chang was thinking such bizarre things.

He was just wondering whether the newly appointed Bie Dang and Jian Feiwei Shi Zuo could hold their own.

By the way.

Kousaka Kyosuke learned the names of the new Beptotoshi and Kenbi-shisa from a member of the resigning Qin family.

— Fujiwara no Kanetaka served as the only "chief" of the Kenbishi-tei (a special office), holding the rank of Junior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade.

—Nobuyoshi Takashira, one of the four "vice ministers" of the Bureau of Investigation and Punishment, Assistant Inspector of Investigation and Punishment, Rank 5.

The former is known to Kousaka Kyosuke.

He was the head of Fujiwara no Yasuke, whose body had been exiled outside Kyoto and whose fate was unknown.

Previously, when he was a vassal, Fujiwara no Yasuke had reprimanded him in front of everyone.

Unfortunately, Kyosuke Kosaka, who was dismissed, did not have a second chance to be reprimanded by him.

Kyosuke Kousaka was truly disappointed.

Kyosuke Kosaka did not know the latter.

He was very clear about the most famous high-ranking family in the court, namely the maternal clan of Yi and Zhou.

Previously, when Kousaka Kyosuke attended court, he saw several high-ranking members of noble families surrounding him.

In short, it can be inferred that she was from Yizhou's maternal family.

then.

The eldest son of a former Kanpaku family, plus a member of the maternal clan of a former Kanpaku's son who failed to become Kanpaku.

Kyosuke Kosaka always felt that they must have some common topics to talk about.

For example, let's chat?

"If my deceased father were still serving as a regent today..."

"If I, Lord Yizhou, were to become the Kanpaku in the future..."

These are indeed very interesting topics.

Skipping over these subtle thoughts, Kousaka Kyosuke glanced at the Arakawa River, which seemed rather fierce today.

He was thinking that if he couldn't find well water, he would divert the river water to irrigate the farmland.

Well, let's build the government office first.

It was noon.

I had already spoken with the village chief next to me, who was named "Nomura".

Kyosuke Kosaka then began gathering people to cut down trees and obtain wood from the distant Seven Corners Mountain.

He himself started building the house using a yin-yang technique, a chaotic mix of Eastern magic and Western alchemy...

"what."

Su Chang, who was protecting Kousaka Kyosuke's safety, was slightly surprised.

What came into view—

The surrounding land gradually became much lower.

Then many stones mixed with the steel bars placed on the ground and began to change.

Su Chang, who was still wondering how long it would take to build the house, widened her eyes.

Could it have been built in just one day?!

An hour later.

Kyosuke Kosaka is resting in a stone house.

He is also thinking.

In front of him was the Demon Blade Princess, who was still dressed in her usual attire.
