It's too difficult to fall in love with rewards

Chapter 137 137. The majesty of the mistress,
When Ju Qingxian returned to the banquet hall, Xiao Wei just came back.

She was holding the hem of the kimono in her hand, and the evening wind was playing with her golden hair, which was very cute.After seeing Ju Qingxian, like a little queen, she glared at him with haughty eyes, then ran up and down to hold Madam Yue's arm.

"Aunt Yue, Xiaowei is going to sleep in your room tonight..."

"OK……"

Madam Yue gently led the girl into the house.

Ju Qingxian followed behind and went in together.

The family banquet is about to begin. At this time, in the banquet hall, the maids are busy serving wine and food; there is a small stage in the corner of the banquet hall, and a small symphony orchestra just came on stage to perform, and the lingering music flows like water.

As soon as he returned to the banquet hall, a slender beauty in kimono saw him first, and immediately called him.

"Master Qing, you're back..." She covered her smile with her cuffs and blinked at him, "We're all talking about you, how could you leave our group of sisters and go out alone? Why, aren't we enough for you to see..."

As soon as these words came out, several women laughed coquettishly, their bloated bodies trembling non-stop.

Mrs. Sakura is also beside this group of people.

She looked at the orange clear eyes, very cunning.

But amidst this cunning, there seemed to be some indifference; just now she was chatting and laughing happily with her sisters, but now she was seriously preparing to watch a play, those eyes were definitely not kind.

You demon girl must have played a trick... Ju Qingxian stared at her intently.

Madam Ying simply covered half of her face with a fan, leaving a pair of eyes for him to guess.

Before Ju Qingxian started guessing, someone stood up immediately, confirming his guess.

"According to me, Master Qing doesn't like us..." Kana Matsudaira, who had teased Tachibana Qingxian earlier, stood up, and said to the sisters with a smile: "He is the son of the wife, ask yourself, can you compare to a toe of the wife?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere froze slightly.

Those women who were casual and enthusiastic towards Ju Qingxian just now suddenly became reserved.

Tachibana Qingxian looked at Matsudaira Kana to analyze her motives at the moment.

"Haha~"

Matsudaira Kana suddenly laughed cheerfully.

Everyone looked at her.

"Everyone don't need to be so nervous, things haven't really been settled yet." Matsudaira Kana joked with everyone with a look of wanting to ease the atmosphere: "Let's not say whether the young master is the wife's illegitimate son, even if he is, he is still the son of the Ju family..."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became even more dull.

This Matsudaira Kana is usually not such a silent person, how could she be so stupid today, what should I do if this thing touches a minefield... The rest of the female family members remained calm, and everyone maintained a smiling expression.

"You don't know. On the Internet, everyone says that Young Master Qing is the key person to make the Ju family rise again. It would be a good thing to lead a declining family to rise again. But I think..." Songping Kana continued to speak her own words, looking around the people in the banquet hall, "Instead of staying in the Ju family and appearing at the Songping family banquet with a name that is not right, why not simply change the surname and return to Songping?"

After her words fell, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was very delicate.

All these beauties who looked like flowers and jade looked at Ju Qing's face, waiting to see how he would face this problem.

Xiao Wei looked at Ah Qing worriedly.

She felt that no matter how Ah Qing answered this question, it was inappropriate.

If he chooses to stay in the Ju family, he will never be able to return to the Songping family in a legitimate way;
If he chooses to change his surname and return to Songping, then his "Master Qingxian" personality will collapse, and he will become a vulgar person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich only for profit.

This guy is horrible!
Xiao Wei glared at Matsudaira Kanai angrily, and then quietly tugged on Madam Yue's arm: "Aunt Yue, help Ah Qing..."

"Don't worry, let Ah Qing deal with it first." Mrs. Yue rubbed the girl's hair, then glanced at Ju Qingxian, who was the focus, and finally glanced at her sister.

As her elder sister, she is very clear-Matsudaira Kana maintains a certain distance from anyone in the clan on the surface, and is a complete neutral figure, but in private, she is obedient and obedient to her younger sister.

What the hell is Ying Ji doing... Mrs. Yue looked at her sister with a slightly reproachful gaze.

Ms. Ying stuck out her tongue at her sister, smiled, and then ignored her.

Tachibana Qingxian, who was at the focus of his sight, calmly sorted out his thoughts.

This question, he directly fooled it, or avoided answering it, no one dared to force him; but he was arrogant by nature, he would never choose to avoid it when things happened, and sooner or later he would face the question of his surname, there was no need to avoid it.

Ever since, a clean and dazzling smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The candles were dimly lit, and the draft swayed the flames, and the shadows of everything danced soundlessly.

It was pitch black outside the banquet hall, and the clouds covered the entire mansion, and the stars and the moon were not visible.The young man's smile appeared at this moment, and it suddenly became the center of the place. Even in the face of the most terrifying things, his eyes had a certainty that could rival everything—this was the feeling that his pair of pitch-black eyes gave people.

Unknowingly, the band stopped playing.

The resplendent banquet hall was completely silent, only the sound of the wind blowing in my ears.

"Actually, what I'm thinking about now is a question I've been thinking about since I was a child." Ju Qingxian said slowly.He changed into the tone he used when he was doing business, with clear words, neither fast nor slow, and a voice that cut everything to its advantage, "Every quiet summer afternoon every year, when I was about to take a nap, the cicadas outside the window were making endless noises, making it impossible to sleep. I was thinking at the time, if someone could catch them all and stuff them into a small black room surrounded by sound insulation boards, it would be cool!"

A voice that is hard to forget after hearing it once echoed in everyone's ears.

"But later I found out that it seems unrealistic to capture all Zen." Tachibana Qingxian continued with a smile, "In any Japanese literary carrier, any summer scene will inevitably have cicadas singing. Why is this so? After thinking for a long time, I found the answer from Matsuo Basho's haiku, 'There is no sound, and the cicadas are singing when they sink into the rocks'. Illusion and impermanence probably fit very well with the spirit of the Japanese... If we want to catch all the cicadas, wouldn't it mean that the spirit of Japan should be wiped out? This is impossible..."

Everyone looked at him inexplicably.

Including Mrs. Sakura, no one knew why he said such irrelevant things.

Although your voice is nice, your logic is very clear, and your speech is great, but you are off topic, young man...

"But no matter how the Japanese beautify it, the nature of the cicadas is still noisy. In the eyes of people with different cultures, the cicadas are just noises..." Ju Qingxian's expression is quite old-fashioned, and he feels that he is not surprised by the situation. "It's like how to treat the old Chinese. Different people have different opinions. For example, I am completely negative..."

Madam Sakura's eyes moved slightly.

... This kid made a detour, and finally got to the point.

"In the traditional sense of the old Chinese, everyone is polite and not talk casually. This is not because of pride, but that they don't need to be close to each other. All faces are only one expression, no matter how beautiful they are, they don't care about everything other than their own interests. The hands wearing diamond rings and white gloves have always been used to rational collar, cut beef, and wine ... Since I was a child, I felt that sitting with these old Chinese people, as if I had made a mistake, I was forced to sit next to them. I heard it in my ears, all of them cicada ... "

The boy who will be 13 next month has a sonorous voice and sharp eyes.

All eyes were on him.

"To put it bluntly, I still hate cicadas singing." Ju Qingxian said with a smile.

At this time, some smart people finally came to their senses: the young man obliquely compared the women in this hall to noisy cicadas.

"Having said that, I'm a relatively lazy person." Ju Qingxian continued, "It's not in line with my personality to ask me to hold a net bag all summer and catch cicadas sweating profusely under a tree. After all, it's not elegant enough."

This means that he will not deal with them with his own hands.

"A French female minister once said that the Japanese live like ants, which has attracted a lot of criticism. I think the rigid collective life of ants is very similar to Japanese society. Especially the old Chinese families that still practice the 'patriarchal system'." Ju Qingxian said with a chuckle, "It's not too late to say it, let me declare: I am an individualist."

These words caused a slight uproar in the banquet hall.

The boy's meaning is very clear: he hates the feudal and decadent big families.

Xiao Wei who looked at Ah Qing had bright eyes.

Just like a child, looking at Ah Qing, she is a little girl who can't hide her inner joy.

Growing up in Songping's family, she was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she didn't learn too much politeness and hypocrisy among nobles; the outlook on life she established is very simple: if you consider it from the perspective of gain and loss, then any friendship will be lost in the end.

But if I like that guy why should I worry about losing it.

I know he's in trouble and I'm going to help him.

If you get angry, roll up your sleeves and fight.

If you like each other, why don't you hold hands?

It is precisely because of such a simple thought that Xiao Wei quickly fell in love with Ah Qing after a fight with him.Seeing that Ah Qing was about to finish his words, Xiao Wei snorted coldly, as if helping him out, and looked at Matsudaira Kana contemptuously: "If you want to achieve something, if you don't work hard, don't take action, but hold on to the other party's background, this is called jealousy. Compared with working hard day after day, it is easier to be jealous."

Being ridiculed by Ms. Wei, Matsudaira Kana's face turned red and turned pale, feeling ashamed.

This kind of scene, I can handle it easily... Ju Qingxian glanced at Xiao Wei.

Hehe ~
Xiao Wei smiled cutely.

Realizing that she was about to be exposed like this, she immediately turned cold, and looked away as if she was not familiar with him: "Ms. Ben just doesn't like it, so she doesn't want to help you..."

Madam Yue couldn't help rubbing her cheeks.

...Xiao Wei said it really cutely.

Tachibana Qingxian slowly withdrew his gaze, and looked at the vacant space in the middle of the top: "The surname Tachibana or Matsudaira may be the most important thing in your eyes, but in my eyes, it is the most insignificant issue. The soul of my whole person is not Tokugawa, Matsudaira, or Tachibana, but 'Mr. Qingxian'. This may be a bit arrogant, but for me, blood relationship is just the icing on the cake."

"Only by changing your surname can you justify your name as this young master..." Matsudaira Kana said with some difficulty.

"Perhaps, the matter of changing my surname will be decided by me in the future!" Ju Qingxian said without any hesitation, "I am very smart, I am smarter than anyone else; I can learn everything quickly, I am also very handsome, and I will definitely become a great man in the future. If I really become a young master, it will not be because I am the illegitimate child of any wife, but because I am better than any boy in the world!"

These powerful words made all the women present breathe faster.

A child who dared to speak such wild words under the watchful eyes of so many strange elders was truly a young child.More importantly, he didn't speak wildly without any reason. According to his performance in the Tokugawa family, he has enough talent to support his arrogance...

"Da~"

A burst of crisp wooden clogs sounded suddenly.

Mrs. Sakura glanced outside the door, then shrugged rather bored.

From her eyes, Ju Qingxian saw a bright figure - it was Mrs. Yu.

"well said."

A dignified voice came from behind.

Everyone in the banquet hall immediately greeted respectfully: "Madam."

Madam Yu's thoughts were not on them.

The face that looked less than thirty, full of spring breeze, walked in with graceful steps.

Feeling her gaze staring at her back, Ju Qingxian struggled for a moment, then turned around and said, "You are late."

"..."

Everyone's heart trembled.

Young man, you are too brave.

"Tonight is your first time attending a family banquet. Mom took a little longer to prepare." Mrs. Yu stepped forward.

Noble and indifferent cheeks, supercilious eyes, and slender white fingers protruding from the cuffs of the purple kimono, Tachibana Qingxian can vaguely see her snow-white wrist.

"As a man of the Songping family, one must have such boldness!" Standing in front of Ju Qingxian, she concluded what he just said.

Madam supports the young master... Everyone knows now.

Madam Yu's gaze swept over everyone calmly.

The majesty and majesty of the mistress can be seen at a glance.

She picked up the teacup on the table.

"Please!"

The person below immediately picked up the cup.

She said that the family banquet started, and then her lips touched the teacup, and the people below drank the tea into their mouths.
