Her deep purple eyes held a calm yet tender expression.
She believed her husband would make up his mind soon.
Fifteen minutes later, Kousaka Kyosuke bid farewell to Fuji Shikibu.
Fujishikibu, who had seen them off to the door, patiently straightened his disheveled clothes.
I glanced casually at the ink painting hanging on the wall.
The Arakawa River in the painting is fierce yet seems remarkably calm.
It was drawn with great care.
Fujishikibu suddenly thought of the "veiled garment" that the maids had shyly mentioned.
It seems that Kyosuke-sama likes...
At Chen Shi (7-9 AM), the sun rises in the east.
The sky grew brighter.
After exchanging ideas with May, Kirisu Mafuyu, and Yukinoshita, I finished my conversations.
Kousaka Kyosuke then left the mansion with Su Chang.
He believes that procrastination is the reason why things cannot continue.
Since there's nothing going on in Kyoto for the time being, let's get things sorted out at the Water Department first.
At least don't just wait around. If you think there's a good way, do it first and then think about other things!
"Lord Kyosuke, you're very spirited today," Su Chang couldn't help but say.
She didn't think Kousaka Kyosuke was "in high spirits after a happy event".
It's more like he's grasped some principle, like a sudden enlightenment.
"It's alright, but I'm not going to just drift along every day. I need to work harder!"
"...Isn't that enough effort?"
Su Chang blinked.
She felt that ever since she started following Kyosuke Kosaka, he had hardly ever been idle.
The most relaxing moments are probably spent with someone.
The busiest times were running around Ukyo, working in the government offices, and exorcising demons...
The schedule looks very tight.
"No, I spend a lot of time daydreaming throughout the day, and I need to make use of that time!"
"Then keep trying. I'll be there to support you. If you're feeling down, I'll give you a few bites of food, no problem."
Seeing that Kousaka Kyosuke was working harder and harder, Su Chang also said that she would do her best to help.
Kousaka Kyosuke looked at Su Chang, whose magnanimity was not much less than that of Fuji Shikibu, and nodded earnestly.
For you... For the future!
The two went to the Qin family.
Kousaka Kyosuke then spoke to the clan chief about the Water Department.
I hadn't spoken up before because of various considerations.
Now I'm not hesitating anymore.
The initiative is in his hands.
Even if no one can bypass him, it's better to communicate in an orderly manner.
Su Chang, who came with Kousaka Kyosuke, naturally chose to avoid the situation.
When I arrived at my sister's place, I started chatting with her.
"Sister, why don't you come to my place?"
"...I still need to make the divine wine."
"The divine wine was made for the revival of the Qin family, but do you think it's still needed now?"
Su Chang was somewhat dissatisfied.
She didn't want to learn more about her husband's cooperation with the Qin family.
Despite frequent contact, she knew that her husband would arrange for many members of his clan to live in his official residence.
Whether it was the Bureau of Investigation and Inspection or the Department of Water Resources.
Even though the husband will likely bring in other relatives from his wife's side in the future to balance things out.
The Qin family is unlikely to be too bad off.
“…I’ll think about it,” Su Yi said softly.
Her flawless face had lowered eyebrows and eyes, and her curved eyelashes trembled.
In fact, she was well aware that compared to offering up the divine wine...
It would be more in line with future development for the Qin family to once again become a true official family.
Originally, the Qin clan was responsible for presiding over sacrificial rites.
As time goes by.
The Minamoto and Fujiwara clans began to encroach on their religious power, leaving them increasingly powerless.
In recent years, they have begun to focus their attention on manors...
The next step will probably be to drive them out of Kyoto.
In such a critical situation, there is no other way but for a miracle to occur.
Regrettably.
One of the main deities they worshipped, Mikoto, no longer responded to them.
Everything is going in a bad direction.
Until her younger sister "wildly" believed that Kousaka Kyosuke liked her, she eventually brought him to her wedding.
Things only started to change for the better.
At least, things have calmed down for the Qin family.
Meanwhile, at this very moment, it seems that the streets and alleys of Ukyo are filled with their clansmen.
Just as all places belonged to the Qin clan.
But those cold, familiar corpses showed others that this was not the case.
On the contrary.
In the past, the tribal lands were filled with pregnant women.
People from other places who received the news came to the clan's territory one after another.
Some widows who lost their husbands also found suitable husbands again with the help of clan elders...
Many things that are supposed to remain unchanged are constantly changing.
Su Yi was bewildered.
She has stopped making divine wine and has recently been assigned to make healing medicine.
The drastic changes in her residence left her momentarily at a loss.
Su Yi grew up in the clan's territory from childhood to adulthood.
The others were almost the same.
Whether male or female, their experiences are quite similar.
If there's any difference, it's that men have more opportunities to go out.
For women going out, it is better to take an oxcart.
The outside world always feels unfamiliar.
But recently, Su Yi felt something was familiar.
The men of the tribe went out more often as they had work opportunities.
I began to learn about many things in Kyoto.
He even passed on many strange and unusual rules to others.
Women who are usually so idle that they can only gossip about others often discuss this topic.
Conflicts sometimes come more often than they do.
The commotion was much, much louder than before.
"Then, sister, you can consider staying at my house for now."
"...Su Chang, are you implying that I should consider this?"
