My new wife discovered my past

Chapter 118 116. Gentlemen, war is coming!

It was almost 17:30 when she finished skin care in Miss Saotome's Japanese-style room. Kiko put aside all distractions, accepted the makeup of the maids wholeheartedly, and focused on choosing a kimono for the dinner.

Before she got married, Noriko Shimizu from Tokyo would wear furisode embroidered with the Shimizu family crest whenever she attended banquets with her mother. After she married Tetsuya Watanabe, she usually wore colored shirts without the family pattern.

Watanabe was an orphan and was not adopted by any noble family, so naturally he had no family crest.

But a hidden pattern is still a pattern. Without the family crest, Kiko could embroider her favorite gentian flowers on the plain background of the dress she was wearing. It was not something to be ashamed of.

Looking at the woman who happily chose the Irokutome, and touching the furisode with the Saotome family crest, Hazuki sighed in her heart. She didn't know if she would have the chance to wear the black tomesode or the colored tomesode that represented married women...

"What colors do you like, Ms. Noriko? I like purple and green."

"Color?" Noriko didn't know why she asked this, but she answered truthfully: "Orange and blue."

Saotome recalled the fresh scent of oranges that hit her face when she woke up after a nap, and the colorless dress that Noriko was wearing, embroidered with blue gentian flowers.

"Because of blue lisianthus and the love of eating them...?"

Saotome Hazuki asked with a smile, but her smile suddenly stopped.

Wait, she remembered, there seemed to be someone who particularly liked to eat...

It was as if a breath of air blocked her trachea, and Saotome coughed violently.

"What's wrong Miss Saotome!?"

"It's okay, I just suddenly can't breathe." Saotome pointed at the orange and blue colored ground in a trance, her movements and tone were natural and smooth: "You can try this one, I think it suits Miss Kiko very well."

"Ooooh! Then why does Miss Saotome like purple and green?"

"For me... because I like wisteria and Midori from Norwegian Wood."

"Midori? The one with the protagonist named Toru Watanabe in the book 'Norwegian Wood'?"

Toru Watanabe's name is much more famous than her husband Toru Watanabe. When Noriko Shimizu first learned about Watanabe's name, she heard the complaints between her roommates Horiguchi Rika and Momozawa Mitsu'e in the student dormitory.

"Yes~~" Saotome smiled and said, "Miss Noriko, don't you think that Midori is cute because she tells lies all the time, even fabricates and makes up a non-existent boyfriend, and then boldly and passionately pursues Toru Watanabe?"

When talking about Toru Watanabe, Noriko Shimizu always hallucinates that he is her new husband Toru Watanabe, which makes her feel uncomfortable.

It feels like the intelligent and cold beautiful mature woman in front of me has some desire for her husband, Tetsuya-kun...

If it were someone else, Noriko Shimizu would have completely blocked the other person with a cold face.

However, after spending more than half a month with Saotome Hazuki, Shimizu Noriko felt that she could get along well with her.

After much difficulty, she made a female friend who admired each other. After thinking about it, it was not too much, and they only talked about the characters Watanabe Toru and Midori in "Norwegian Wood"...

Just bear with it for now!

After putting on the orange and blue kimono with the help of two maids, Noriko ignored Saotome's question and changed the subject: "Which kimono are you going to wear, Miss Saotome?"

Faced with the other party's avoidance of the question, the woman did not feel embarrassed and pointed to the eye-catching bright green middle furisode, which was embroidered with the Saotome family crest and a wisteria flower pattern.

"Let's take this one," said Saotome.

After the two girls finished dressing up and dressing neatly, they got in the car together and went to [Fubuki Cottage], arriving on time before 18:30.

The courtyard was even more luxurious and larger than the Japanese-style room that looked like a country villa where Saotome was temporarily staying, which made Noriko dazzled.

The maids who came and went carrying all kinds of utensils, dishes and ingredients lowered their heads and walked quickly in small steps. Each of them performed their duties and did their work in an orderly manner, but it was dazzling to watch.

The inside of the courtyard is an even more extraordinary world, with a small bridge, flowing water, and flourishing cherry trees. Pink and white cherry blossoms flutter down, covering the sky-like blue flowers all over the ground, while others float downstream along the slow flow of the creek.

In late April and early May, you can still see fields of cherry blossoms in Tokyo. There is nowhere else to see them except here, right?
No wonder it is called [Blizzard Cottage].

But in fact, Jiko's attention was more attracted by the patches of dark blue flowers on the ground. It was the first time she saw such breathtakingly beautiful, gorgeous and quiet flowers, as deep as blue gentian flowers.

what is this flower?

Following Saotome, they passed through the outer circle and inner circle of the guards formed by the maids, and the two girls, Noriko, were guided by the sound of the shamisen and came to the trees and flowers.

As the evening breeze blew, cherry blossoms danced in the sky. Lights hung high from the cherry, pear and willow trees, making the woods as bright as day.

The widest space between the cherry and pear trees was covered with layers of tablecloths, stepping on the corpses of pink and white petals.

Wine, snacks, exquisite dishes, wine vessels, tables, food racks, beauties, beautiful girls, beautiful mature women...

The soft music of the shamisen never stopped. It might be because Jiugong Sakura took into consideration that Shimizu Noriko would attend the dinner, or it might be because Jiugong Feng was present beside her, so there was no beauty painting on the tablecloth, which made it less interesting.

Saotome Hazuki noticed at a glance that Yanagihara Nao was not there, and Watanabe Toru was not there either.

Her fox eyes immediately turned cold.

Where did such a slutty woman come from? She has no self-control at all. Sooner or later, she will die on Watanabe's belly!

Saotome cursed fiercely in her heart, but then she remembered the existence of the physical strength medicine, and her luck immediately collapsed.

No wonder, no wonder she could hold on until now, she forgot about it!

Swallowing all the pain, Saotome forced a smile and introduced Noriko to the two people from the Kunomiya family.

Jiugong Feng, this beautiful mature woman, doesn't care about household affairs, political affairs and state affairs. She just enjoys the extraordinary treatment brought to her by her identity and status. She has suffered enough verbal abuse on a normal day. Can't she enjoy herself?

Since she was a guest invited by Sakura, she would greet her with a smile, hold Noriko's hand and start chatting with her, and her enthusiasm was so enthusiastic that Noriko could only resist with all her strength.

"The pink butterfly flowers are so beautiful..." Looking at the blue flowers blooming all over the ground and extending into the distance, Jiugongying took a sip of wine and sighed:

"It's a pity that such beautiful butterfly flowers have been around for so many years...but Yu Ji has never been willing to come to my [Fubuki Cottage] to appreciate the flowers.

"It seems that her dislike for me far exceeds her love for the butterfly flower!"

"Yu Ji is too stubborn... Well, I hope she can be more open-minded! We already have a life that ordinary people can't afford, what else does she want? Drink, drink!" Mrs. Feng poured herself a full glass of wine and snorted happily.

This shattered the filter of Jiko standing by.

Princess... Princess Sakuraba?
Saotome Hazuki had heard of the fame of the girls in the Sakuraba family. Each of them was a top beauty with great talent and beauty.

Except for Princess Sakuraba.

It seems that Jiugong Sakura has some feelings for Sakuraba Miki?

That doesn't make sense. Doesn't she love beautiful women the most?
After taking a sip of wine, Saotome asked Kujo Sakura, "Where is Yanagihara?"

"Her? She's very tired today. She's probably still taking a nap now."

"...Okay. Then wake her up. You should be able to manage the time."

"Are you teaching me how to do things, Saotome-sensei?"

"Ms. Ying should know better than me where I am referring to. Now is not the right time. Don't alert the enemy."

Why do you become hostile as soon as you start talking, and speak in a confusing way that no one can understand?

Ji Zi and Jiu Gong Feng couldn't help but look at them.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it, as long as we are happy." Jiugong Ying said to Jiugong Yukiyo: "Go and see if Yanagihara has woken up."

Miss Yukiyo bowed and withdrew.

Jiugongying raised her hand to signal the beauty playing the shamisen: "Continue playing the music, and let's drink some wine first."

Hearing this, Noriko was horrified. She grabbed Saotome's kimono sleeve, covered her face with her hands, and whispered.

Saotome relayed her words to Kujo Sakura and the others, saying that she had a very poor alcohol tolerance and drinking would only ruin the atmosphere of the dinner party.

"Is Mrs. Watanabe's alcohol tolerance really that poor?" Jiugong Feng, who couldn't enjoy life without alcohol, found it unbelievable. How boring such a life would be.

The person involved had to come out to explain: "Yes, I'm sorry that I might have spoiled everyone's fun, but I can only drink two glasses of beer..."

"It's too exaggerated!"

The beautiful mature woman screamed, and her flesh, which could not be covered by the loose kimono, trembled.

It is worth mentioning that even though she is already a wife, Jiugong Feng still wears the furisode that represents an unmarried woman.

Jiugongying said: "Mrs. Watanabe, please use tea instead of wine for the time being."

"When did Sakura become so easy to talk to?" After complaining, Jiugong Feng turned around and reminded Noriko: "Mrs. Watanabe, don't think that Sakura is a gentle and beautiful girl just because of this simple sentence~

“She is usually very fierce, and everyone is afraid of her!
"When the dinner comes and everyone is drunk, you'd better have a few drinks as well!" They sang in unison, and it was more like a warning to Jiko than a reminder.

Noriko Shimizu thought of her husband Watanabe's job in the shogunate and the fact that they were living under someone else's roof. She also thought of the noble status of the man in front of her and that even the hospital where she worked was just a small business under the other family...

Knowing well that reality was helpless and cruel, she smiled the professional smile she would use to treat patients and agreed.

It's just a couple of sips of wine. With Tetsuya-kun here, I'll be fine. I'll get drunk happily in his arms...

The dinner is about to begin, and all the equipment and ingredients are placed on the table one by one. To prevent petals from falling, transparent umbrellas are temporarily propped up overhead, and the umbrellas are covered with cherry blossoms.

Miss Yukiyo came back and brought Watanabe Tetsuya to the courtyard, letting him enter the area among the cherry trees first.

"Tetsuya-kun~!" Having not seen her husband for the entire day, Kiko stood up to greet Watanabe the first time she saw him.

Watanabe smiled faintly: "I'm here, Noriko..."

The man followed his newlywed wife to the table in silence. Apart from greeting Saotome, Kunomiya Sakura and others at the beginning, he just sat silently beside Noriko, occasionally chatting with her.

Mrs. Feng, who was drunk and had a flushed face, saw a man at the table and looked at Miss Ying blankly.

No, what’s going on?
After patting her face to sober herself up, the beautiful mature woman glanced at the man sitting near her from the corner of her eyes. His appearance was also ordinary...

But why does it look familiar? And the taste is so familiar... as familiar as wine...

Mrs. Feng became more and more confused. Has she smelled anything recently?
Her personal maid was warned by Jiugong Sakura, and Jiugong Feng was unaware that Watanabe had picked her up that night.

Without making any inappropriate sound, the beautiful mature woman suppressed her doubts in her heart and drank glass after glass of wine.

The dinner began without waiting for Nao Yanagihara who arrived late.

Perhaps because Watanabe was the only man present, the beautiful mature woman sat at her desk drinking sullenly and did not leave the table to urge other beauties to drink.

However, the atmosphere was completely ignited by Nao Yanagihara who arrived shortly afterwards. Although her eyes had lost their luster, her complexion and skin were unexpectedly radiant, which made Saotome's eyes sore and tears flowed.

"I haven't seen you for two days. How come Nao has become so beautiful? She looks like a completely different person!"

Feeling slightly drunk, Jiugong Feng left the table and came to the side of the beautiful girl... the newly-promoted beautiful woman, wanting to get her to drink.

"Because I am different from Sister Feng and a real woman?"

"…Huh!? What do you mean by that, Nao-chan?"

Only Sakura Jiumiya glanced at Nao Yanagihara. She was not targeting her for showing off, but was annoyed by Yanagihara's habit of taking advantage of her.

In terms of seniority, Jiugong Feng is Jiugong Sakura's aunt. What does Nao Yanagihara want to do by calling her sister?
Nao Yanagihara walked quickly to Kiko with a victorious attitude and toasted her.

The dinner was already in full swing, and Kiko had no choice but to go down and drink, no longer having any reason to refuse Yanagihara.

How could one drink with only Yanagihara? After one round, Noriko couldn't even stand steadily and fell into Watanabe's arms, drunkenness floating on her cheeks, and the scent of oranges became stronger.

The transparent umbrella canopy on the roof had been removed, and the pink and white cherry and pear blossoms were blown down by the wind. Watanabe, holding his newlywed wife who was drunk in his arms, sat on the tablecloth in the middle of the table and looked up at the petals covering the sky.

Moving your eyes downward, you will see jackals, tigers and leopards all around, each with its own charm.

Only the little person in his arms was left, weakly clutching the sleeves of his haori.

They are the prey on the field.

For a moment, Jiugong Feng felt that something was not right. His trembling body stopped shaking, but he continued to drink.

Saotome left the table first, walked to the Watanabe couple with a wine glass, and raised her hand to feed Watanabe with wine.

"Have you given her the medicine?" The woman's voice was very soft.

“I didn’t find the opportunity.”

"...Leave it to me. Tonight, under the cherry trees, it's perfect for a carnival party...

"Hey, Tetsu-kun, have you remembered the night of revelry in Kyoto?"

With her back to the women, Saotome lowered her head over Watanabe's body, used her tongue to flexibly take out two pills from his pocket, and swallowed one in front of him.

She had her own way to mix the remaining pill into Nao Yanagihara's wine.

As expected, man proposes, God disposes. The medicine was mixed into the wine, and Nao Yanagihara went off to play in the game.

Mrs. Feng stared blankly!

What is going on! What is going on! What is going on!
Suddenly, I felt very dry in my mouth. I reached out to grab some wine, but the glass was empty.

There was also a full glass of wine on Nao Yanagihara's desk, which was very conspicuous.

The beautiful mature woman didn't dare to look at the man in the field who was being commanded by the girl in a tough manner. He was forced to leave his newlywed wife behind, which was really pitiful.

Jiugong Feng didn't even dare to watch them having an affair.

I just took a detour to grab the wine, to suppress the throbbing in my heart that was piercing my body.

She wants to drink! As long as she gets drunk... everything will be fine!
The hands were opened, it was Jiugongying's action.

"Drink less. You're so heavy. If you get drunk you'll have to stay here and sleep with me." The beautiful girl snatched the wine vessel from the beautiful mature woman.

Saotome Hazuki watched their actions and wanted to stop them but it was too late.

Jiugongying drank the wine in one gulp.

Madam Feng wailed and fell on the tablecloth covered with cherry blossoms. She covered her head with her kimono, unwilling to see or hear...

Miss Ying held up her hands and went to watch the big movie. She had seen it several times in the past two days, but she still didn't get enough.

Interesting, so interesting!

But if she were to take action personally, Jiugong Ying had not yet decided to do so.

She does not reject physical contact with Tetsuya Watanabe, but that does not mean she can completely and thoroughly accept him now.

It was her first time, so she couldn't be too casual.

The beautiful girl looked around at the sea of ​​cherry blossoms. The fluttering petals seemed like the lust that was bursting out of her body. They lingered there for a long time, but could not be dispersed. They just fell on the dark blue butterfly flowers like snow.

If it was in such an atmosphere, it was not impossible for her to hand over her most precious thing...

Looking down at the field again, I saw that Saotome Hazuki had also left the field. Jiugong Sakura's face flushed and she became even more excited!

But...why is my body getting hotter and hotter?
"Don't grab it! I'll give it to you later. It's not your turn yet!"

Saotome didn't care about Nao Yanagihara who was talking to herself and pushed her away. She also didn't care about Noriko Shimizu who was drunk and dead on the ground.

She just leaned over Watanabe's ear, seduce the man with her fox eyes and said, "There's some trouble. Jiugongying drank the medicinal wine."

"Ah!? It should be... nothing, right?"

"It's a big problem... Every pill can make a woman aroused, especially the first one. If you don't take it in time... you might die."

"What!? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Jiugongying cannot die, otherwise we will be in big trouble."

"Then what do you mean?"

After being pushed to the ground, Nao Yanagihara stood up unsteadily. She drank as much as Mrs. Feng and didn't hear the conversation between the two clearly: "What are you talking about?"

“It doesn’t make any sense, Tetsu-kun.

"She... came by herself."

The bright red furisode sleeves embroidered with the Kujo family crest created circles of cherry blossom ripples. Kujo Sakura, lying on her back and wandering in the sea of ​​cherry blossoms, felt her body stretched greatly, as if she was being lifted up to dance with the cherry blossoms, or like snow falling to the ground.

The pale blue butterfly flowers on the ground were irrigated by the drops of blood and were all dyed red, instantly filling the entire [Blizzard Cottage] with fragrance.

　Originally, the journey to the shogun's palace was to end with the shogun saying, "Gentlemen, war is coming!"

　　It is not only the general background, but also reveals that the battle between the Tokyo faction and the Kyoto faction for Watanabe has begun. But after thinking about it, I didn’t write it, and I didn’t dare to write it, so I’ll just mention it here.

　　Thank you for your support, good night everyone!
