It's too difficult to fall in love with rewards

Chapter 72 72. So Kiryu killed Atsushi Tachibana at his best, right?
The waiter brought the food, and the conversation was momentarily interrupted.

While Fuzen Sakurako was drinking the soup, she couldn't help but look at Tachibana Kiyoyuki.

Gorgeous long black hair, a straight upper body, bulging breasts, a beautiful face, cold and resolute eyes... Such a woman, unexpectedly, unexpectedly... likes men!
What a pity.

Noticing the gaze from the other side, Ju Qingxue frowned slightly.

"What is the conflict between Ms. Kiryu and her family?" She asked calmly.

Talking about this, Sakurako Fuzen put down the spoon and wiped her lips with a napkin: "About this, let's start with their family affairs. The previous generations of Kiryu's family were Edo feudal vassals, their family..."

"Wait a minute!" Ju Qingxue interrupted her, "It's not the previous generation, it should be the previous generation, right?"

Fanshi is the name of the samurai who served the various clans in the Edo period of Japan. It has been almost 180 years ago, and at least four generations have passed—Xiaoxue thought so in his heart.

Tomien Sakurako glanced at her with a look of "why are you so serious".

Ju Qingxian took small sips of borscht.

He cherishes every opportunity not to eat the dishes cooked by his sister.

Ju Qingxue looked at the opposite side, and continued the topic just now: "But even if you are a vassal, it is nothing special. Why do you want to emphasize this? How many years have you been calling for the equality of the four peoples? Don't say anything about being noble before. It's a solo thing."

Tomi Sakurako looked at her and changed to "You are so cute".

Tachibana nodded silently.

In some ways, Xiaoxue is really cute.

"How should I put it, um..." Fuqian Sakura pondered for a while, "Before the Meiji Restoration, the Kiryu family were all vassals under the command of the gods, and their status was very noble. But during the Meiji Restoration, they were not very active. In the process of the disintegration of the shogunate system, without any credit, naturally they did not enjoy a series of preferential treatment later."

"Why do you say this?" Ju Qingxue opened her eyes wide, as if she was confused.

"There is no credit, only an old man with extremely high self-esteem..." Fuqian Yingzi complained, and couldn't help laughing, "After the Meiji Restoration, the Kiryu family can be regarded as a businessman family with some political connections. They rely on opening a dojo to maintain He lived a better life. During the war, he turned to shopping malls, relied on his connections to gain profits, and made a fortune by reselling military supplies. After the war, he took part in the rebuilding of Tokyo and made a lot of money in the civil engineering industry. Yuriko’s father, He's a civil construction businessman."

"Her family is indeed quite rich." Tachibana Qingxue thought of the large courtyard of Kiryu's family.

"Yes, from outsiders' perspective, Baihezi's family is rich, and her father loves her very much, so she should be very happy."

"Father has a good relationship with her?"

"It's more than good, as the only daughter of the entire Kiryu family, it's like holding her in the palm of my hand and loving her."

Ju Qingxue asked strangely: "Then why is she unhappy?"

Tachibana Qingxian also quietly pricked up his ears.

"It's her grandfather." Fuqian Yingzi said with a sigh.

"Uh……"

Ju Qingxue felt that the relationship between their family was a little messed up.

"Grandpa's attitude towards her has been very subtle from the very beginning."

"Subtle? What do you mean?"

"After all, Yuriko is his granddaughter, so it doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt. But in short, after the family has a son-in-law, the meaning of the girl's existence is to make the family develop further." Fuqian Yingzi said helplessly.

"This is too old-fashioned." Ju Qingxue raised her tone subconsciously, and her expression became filled with righteous indignation, "No matter what you inherit, I think it doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, as long as you have enough ability. Why do you have to separate men and women?"

That's because you don't have any family business at all... Sakurako Fuzen is embarrassed to say this.

"I really hope your idea is the common idea in society." She sighed and said, "However, it is a deeply rooted thought to be inherited by a legitimate son or a son. Even if there is no son in the family, you will find ways to adopt an adopted son..."

"Obviously he can recruit a son-in-law..." Ju Qingxue said angrily.

"Times have changed a long time ago, but those ancient families have not changed along with it." Fuqian Yingzi said as if concluding, "Especially those old patriarchs, who keep their mouths and mouths to inherit, sons and so on, it's disgusting." Even if you become a businessman, a woman can inherit the family property..."

"Yup!"

Ju Qingxue clenched her fist and knocked on the table.

"It's not incomprehensible to want male offspring to inherit everything, not just property, but also power and status to sons... But it also depends on the situation. The son obviously doesn't want it, so why do you have to force it on the offspring? On my head..." The more Sakurako Fuzen said, the more incomprehensible her expression became.

At this moment, Ju Qingxian, who was silently drinking the soup, raised his head and said:
"Sticking to blood-related male descendants is the bottom line of samurai rules, or the wreckage."

"But this is not good, Ah Qing, do you think so?" Ju Qingxue looked sideways at her younger brother, and said with a serious expression: "Even if the power and status are inherited, wouldn't that become a hereditary system? But the son of a councilor , does not necessarily have the ability to be a member of parliament; the son of a criminal policeman may also be a criminal; it does not mean that as long as he is a biological son, he can be as outstanding as his father or ancestors!"

"That's right, that's right!" Fuqian Yingzi nodded desperately, "People say 'dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, the son of a mouse can make holes', but there are all kinds of mice, regardless of whether they are male or female. A mouse or a female mouse can make a good hole. I really don't understand where the 'male is good' mentality comes from."

Ju Qing glared at the two women.

...I didn't bring it up, so what do you mean by the expressions you are eager to persuade me!

"Xiaoxue!" He gently tugged at his sister's sleeve, and whispered to her: "When investigating a case, if you intervene in the wrong way with preconceived notions or assuming the identity of the party involved—maybe you will be farther away from the truth. farther and farther."

Ju Qingxue was startled, and suddenly felt cold sweat bursting out of her forehead.

In terms of criminal investigation, she is really just a rookie. Without the help of her younger brother, she would not be able to make it this far... But it doesn't matter what food is, Xiaoxue has a strong ability to learn and correct.

When her brother mentioned it, her mood immediately returned to calm.

"Patriarch Tongyu only recognizes the father, right?" Tachibana Qingxue continued to ask the other side.

"Yeah, a very troublesome old man." Fuqian Yingzi said with disgust, "I think his head is really rotting all the time, with shortcomings such as old-fashioned, stubborn, strict, dead-headed, arrogant, domineering, etc. He took it all by himself.”

Tachibana Qingxue pondered in her mind, and asked, "He made the marriage between Miss Kiryu and Tachibana Jun?"

"That's right." Tomi Sakurako nodded.

"Does her father agree?"

"Yuriko's father disagrees."

"Did he...disobey the Patriarch?"

"It seemed to be true at the beginning, but soon after, under the pressure of the clan, they agreed to the marriage. The conflict between their families was very serious, and the three generations of the old, middle and young were arguing...It's disgusting to say, from Lily Since the age of six, the old guy has been looking for a suitable grandson-in-law all over the world."

"Six years old?"

Ju Qingxue couldn't help scolding the bastard.

Even if the parents talk smoothly, it is a hegemonic behavior that ignores the wishes of the parties, which is really unacceptable.

"Yuriko's misfortune lies in having such a grandpa..." Fuqian Yingzi said, and suddenly looked at Tachibana Qingxian, "Do you want more?"

"what?"

Ju Qingxian didn't understand what she asked.

"I see that you enjoyed your meal, the corners of your mouth are covered with steak sauce." Fuqian Yingzi pushed her share of steak to him, "You can eat this too, my sister is so angry that she can't eat when she thinks of the old man. Well, sister treats you."

As she spoke, she picked up the napkin and stretched her hand towards the opposite side.

Seeing this, Ju Qingxue quickly picked up the napkin and reached out first: "I'll do it."

Uh……

this gesture...

How should I put it, in the eyes of Fuqian Sakurako, she looks like a lioness protecting food.It's a pity, she sighed secretly in her heart, one likes men, and the other is a child, neither of which has anything to do with her... She laughed and continued what she said just now.

"After the marriage is confirmed, Yuriko loses her freedom."

"Prisoned?"

"It's not that exaggerated, but the daily activity time is greatly reduced. She is forced to stay at home most of the time, learning tea ceremony, flower arrangement, tailoring and other so-called 'bride training'. I don't understand, to study Can you become a bride? You don’t want to be the object of worship by some eminent monk!”

"This is really unfair. After all, I have never heard of 'groom training'." Ju Qingxue said.

"I think that women can also participate in more and more social activities, and men can also take on more housework." Tomien Sakura looked at Tachibana again, "Am I right?"

What's the point of you talking about this with my child... Tachibana Qingxian gnawed on the second steak, and answered her vaguely: "The samurai family is not so easy to adapt. Generally speaking, unless they are all bankrupt, otherwise what you said That's not going to happen."

There is nothing wrong with that statement.

The low status of Japanese women is recognized, and the status of women in big families is even lower than that of women in ordinary families.

"That's right, it really won't happen, after all, they can ignore the law." Fuqian Sakura sighed, shaking the spoon in her hand boredly, "After getting engaged, Yuriko found I found someone I really liked. That person happened to like her too, so the two got close..."

When she said this, she glanced at Ju Qingxue.

"What's wrong?" Ju Qingxue asked suspiciously.

"I'm choosing my words. How to put it, the two are strongly attracted to each other physically and mentally."

"I can understand what this means, so I don't need to explain in detail."

"That's great."

Fuqian Sakura smiled.

"Yurizi has been secretly dating someone she likes for more than a year. While the relationship between the two is heating up, the wedding ceremony between her and Tachibana Jun has also been put on the agenda. Of course Yuriko doesn't want to get married so soon, but the old man is in front of the whole family. Said that she is in her 20s, and she is already a middle-aged woman, so it is better to get married as soon as possible."

The corners of Ju Qingxue's eyes twitched: "In her 20s, a half-mature lady... In the Edo period, when she was married at the age of twelve or thirteen, it was pretty much the same thing. Now I'm saying it, I'm afraid it's not an old antique from time travel. .”

"Yeah, it's hard to understand!" Fuqian Yingzi echoed, "Yuriko's father is still protective of his daughter, and he said that if he really likes someone, he can take it home, and he can help to intercede with grandpa... In the end... Yuriko After bringing people home, everything is irreversible."

"Bringing the same person home?" Ju Qingxian asked with blinking black eyes.

"Yeah, you guys know this too..." Fuqian Yingzi was taken aback, but after thinking about it, at this point, there was nothing to hide, so she sighed helplessly, "Oh, Even ordinary families find it hard to accept this, let alone old-fashioned samurai families."

Ju Qingxue poked the palm of her hand with the cap of her pen, and said calmly: "But in ordinary people's homes, after being surprised and confused, everyone can sit down and have a good talk. Even if you don't accept it, if you have a big fight, the consequence will be to sever the relationship at most... What about the Kiryu family?"

In fact, Xiaoxue can still look at this matter from a normal perspective, and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, but this group of people...how should I put it...I always feel that people in this group tend to overreact.But although I think so in my heart, I think it is understandable to put myself in the other party's place and think about the pressure on the other party. He is a little more sensitive than ordinary people.

"That's right...this evil seed must be killed." Fuqian Yingzi said with a sigh.

"Beheaded?"

Ju Qingxue frowned.

——This is even more extreme!

"literal meaning."

"Are you going to kill Ms. Kiryu?"

"That's right, in front of the whole family, chasing and killing my own granddaughter with a Japanese sword..."

"Could it be a threat?"

"Absolutely serious, if Zuo Zhijin hadn't risked his life to stop him, Yuriko would have died..."

"How can there be such a person..."

Ju Qingxue was full of disbelief.

To kill the other party just because he thought differently from his own...it was simply absurd.It's fine if it's an outsider, but it's my own granddaughter. It's hard to imagine how hurt Ms. Kiryu would be as the person involved.

If my mother treats me like this...

Just thinking about it makes my heart break.

"What happened later?" Ju Qingxue asked with her pen cap on her chin.

"What else can I do..." Fuqian Yingzi's face was full of sympathetic sadness, her eyes were slightly red, "Being rejected by relatives, being labeled as 'tainting the reputation of the family', besides losing the one you love, marrying obediently What else can you do?"

"Ah, are you obediently married?" Ju Qingxue asked foolishly.

The two temperaments of dazed and glamorous can be so perfectly mixed on the same face, Ju Qingxian is amazed.

"That's right……"

Fuzen Sakura shook her head helplessly.

At this time, Tachibana Qingxian finished the last bite of steak, wiped his mouth slowly, and looked up to the opposite side.

"So Kiryu killed Tachibana Jun at the end of his work, right?"
