Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Um, Sister Xiangzi, you..."

"Welcome! Absolutely welcome! It's just that you sisters standing together give me a lot of pressure."

"Oh! Yes! We sisters are naturally beautiful!"

Su Chang, who was still hesitant about whether Fujiwara Kaori was unwelcoming, didn't think much of it and immediately became happy.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but take a picture of the place he was most proud of, the place that Kousaka Kyosuke also liked the most.

Plain clothes: "..."

Under the snow that had just passed: "..."

84. Fujiwara Daichi's Brothers / Treating Hachiman / Marrying Fumino / Poverty Alleviation Project

They arrived at Fujiwara Daichi's residence.

Kyosuke Kosaka discovered that the people were more complete than he had imagined.

Apart from Fujiwara Daichi.

Fujiwara Masataka and his youngest brother, Fujiwara Masakazu, also came.

"Kyosuke-sama."

Upon hearing the servant announce that the visitor was Kyosuke Kosaka, the three brothers hurriedly went out to greet him.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and waved his hand: "You're too kind. Let's go inside and talk."

I vaguely noticed that even Fujiwara Daichi and Fujiwara Masakazu's expressions were off this time.

Kyosuke Kosaka believes he really should have come this time.

Since they are related by marriage, they should be closer than ordinary people.

Furthermore.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt that these people from the modern world did have some advantages.

That means they weren't ruthless enough.

In his view, this was a rather kind act.

Even Ayanokoji, whom Kousaka Kyosuke thought would be extremely cold.

He gradually discovered that Ayanokouji was basically very honest.

They only become extremely aggressive when their own safety and interests are involved.

This may be due to the profound influence of modern worldviews and values.

It's not something that can be easily changed.

Kyosuke Kousaka quite likes this.

After all, he didn't really like people who were too ruthless and decisive.

"Since everyone is here now, I'd like to talk to you about matters concerning the Ministry of Water Resources."

"Lord Kyosuke, you can make the decisions on these matters yourself!"

As soon as he sat down, he heard Kousaka Kyosuke's usual kind words, which only made Fujiwara Masataka feel uneasy.

At this point, niece Chika and Kousaka Kyosuke had not even shared a bed.

He currently only hopes that Kyosuke Kousaka can be as magnanimous as he imagines.

I really don't ask for anything else.

For example, the official position of the Water Department that we will mention now.

Even a nominal title is not something that outsiders like them can covet too much.

It's better to honestly try to reduce the negative feelings.

"Don't worry," Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile. "I'm still a little short-handed. I would be happy to have any talented people join me, whoever they are."

Fujiwara Masakazu, the youngest brother who had always maintained a cautious and respectful demeanor, felt a slight stirring in his heart.

Does Kyosuke-sama mean that as long as you have the ability, it's fine?

Fujiwara Masakazu felt a slight sense of relief when he realized that Kosaka Kyosuke hadn't brought up marriage or other pretexts to increase their intimacy.

By this time, he had already figured out his niece Qianhua's shady tactics.

He had long ago killed the idea in his heart that he had once wanted to send his sons there after hearing about the Water Department.

I think that no matter how extraordinary Kousaka Kyosuke's demeanor is, it's all good.

Even the cautious Fujiwara Masakazu found it hard to trust Kousaka Kyosuke, who hadn't brought his niece Chika to his home.

He had already heard about it.

That is, Kyosuke Kosaka has already brought several of his wives to his luxurious new house.

This is how Masakazu Fujiwara sees it.

Kyosuke Kosaka clearly treated his wives as his personal possessions.

Because the custom of visiting one's wife was still popular in this era.

Some amorous nobles might also use various means to break into the bedroom of a noblewoman.

This kind of plot appears in the most famous work, "The Tale of Genji".

Genji, the protagonist, uses his status and position to secretly look at women's faces.

Or perhaps it was General Black Beard who bribed a maid to get ahead and possess the jade garland.

All of the above illustrate the many helplessness and hardships faced by noblewomen.

Kyosuke Kousaka's behavior, on the other hand, was very direct and straightforward.

He brought his wives into his mansion.

In this way, even if a noble prince wanted to cause trouble, it would be nothing more than wishful thinking.

Furthermore, this analysis should also consider events such as the conflict between Kousaka Kyosuke and the deceased Tango no Kami Fujiwara Yasumasa from a long time ago...

It is almost certain that Masakazu Fujiwara is the one.

—Kousaka Kyosuke is a man with a very strong possessive nature.

However, Fujiwara Masakazu's refusal to accept his niece Chika after their marriage made him think twice.

"Lord Kyosuke, the talents we recommend may be flawed in your opinion."

Fujiwara Daichi then spoke up, looking quite embarrassed.

Everyone knows about my daughter, Chika.

Even though he knew that his brothers and cousins ​​didn't complain, it was only for the sake of harmony.

He himself needs to be more sensible.

"As long as I can read and write, have some courage, and am fearless, I will still go and take care of the person in charge."

Kyosuke Kosaka spoke sincerely, his tone becoming increasingly gentle.

We still need to win over the Fujiwara Daichi family.

Whether it was to gain the Taoist priest's trust or due to a lack of manpower.

Now that the marriage relationship has been confirmed, it's absolutely essential to maintain a proper facade!

Besides, that was indeed his thought.

Compared to outsiders who know nothing about you, the recommendations from these people are definitely not too bad.

"Then, Lord Kyosuke... we won't stand on ceremony," Fujiwara Masataka said, still conflicted.

Kousaka Kyosuke was surprised, and suddenly sensed Fujiwara Daichi's condition.

Upon discovering that he had absolutely no objections, he immediately understood.

—Has the younger brother become the dominant one?

"Okay! I'll meet with the others on a certain day in a few days, and then we'll call it a day."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

The three brothers, Fujiwara Daichi, Fujiwara Masataka, and Fujiwara Masakazu, all respectfully echoed his sentiments.

Then, Kyosuke Kosaka took out a live carp from his magical space, and then... needless to say.

They drank together and ate sashimi together.

Kyoto is quite far from Arakawa, so fresh fish are still very valuable.

Cutting fish into pieces and then eating the sashimi is definitely a very entertaining program.
