DAY 109 NEW HOUSE

I lived in Japan for a year and found a very interesting and strange taunting shouting. (The fastest update - this street is completely different from the street in the meaning of Chinese people.

Generally speaking, in China, no matter whether a certain street in the city is wide or not, it will always be able to pass through as long as you walk on it. However, in Japan, this is not the case: in many cases, a big road that looks very spacious, goes deeper and narrower along the road. In the end, a huge door appears in front of you but is a dead end! Pedestrians have to go around again in unhappy. Ai Fei made such a mistake back then.

Only "This place was originally a manor-style residence called Tokugawa at the end of the Shogunate Period. Keiki prepared for his son's marriage." After the "Royal Masayo Retro" coup in the Year of the Snake, the shogunate system was abolished. The descendants of the Tokugawa family also used this apartment as their residence until a few years after the war, because the population was reduced more and more severely and economic reasons could not afford such a large manor, they sold it."

"So, we bought it?"

"In fact, it's not us, you Mr. President." Tanaka Rui turned around in the passenger seat, lowered his head humbly, and explained to him and Ai Shiko: "Before you went abroad for the last time, you mentioned your needs for manor-style residences to Fuji-kun, so after he searched and inquired, it was for you.

"I understand." The young man nodded and turned to look at Ai Shizuko on the side: "Mom, after we arrive, if we have any requirements for the residence, you can directly tell me or tell Tanaka-kun. After all, this may be the place we will live in a long time in the future, and the most important thing is to make it to suit our own wishes."

"Thank you, Xiao Aijun, mom will."

“Is the renovation work over?”

"Wait! It's all over." Tanaka Rui smiled: "In fact, in this decoration, the main thing is to put forward some new requirements for the lighting and lighting of the room according to your requirements. In other aspects, the real changes are not very big. Oh, sir, madam, we are here."

The car drove into the narrower and narrower path, and when it reached the end, a huge black-held door flashed: "We have noticed this door, which is now extinct, produced from the mountains of Koga. The biggest feature of this wood is that it will never be eaten by insects, and its heaviness is far greater than that of ordinary wood. It is said to sink into water. Unfortunately, because only this door is of this material, we have not done a formal experiment yet."

Ai Fei smiled: "The material of a door is so expensive, so you can imagine how to use the material in other places, right?"

Throat! I'll give you and your wife a detailed explanation later. Please wait." Tanaka Rui pushed the door and got out of the car, walked in through a smaller door next to the door. After a while, the door was slowly opened and he sat in again: "Let's go in."

Hideo Watanabe started the car again and slowly drove into the door! Infei turned his head and looked at it. Two men in black suits were standing on both sides of the door and bowing to the car that was driving over: "Who are they?"

"This is left by the owner of the original manor. Not only does it include such a guard, but there are also gardeners and managers. There are more than a dozen people in total. And it also does not include the dogs used to patrol the night."

"There are dogs?" Ai Fei was really surprised: "There are so many people? Are they all here?"

"There is a lot of space here. If it's just your family, it's a big deal. I'm afraid it's hard to take care of it. Moreover, this is also the request made by the previous owner when he left."

"Okay, I'll talk about this later. What else do I don't know about?"

"It's just that." Tanaka Rui looked at him with some concern: I agree with the other party's opinions and make a decision for him. I wonder if it will make him dissatisfied? However, these things were done before he was dismissed. Now, it's a bit too late.

Ai Fei stopped talking. He turned his eyes toward the window. The car was driving on a bluestone road. Such a road surface could not drive very quickly, which gave him the leisure to appreciate: towering trees were planted on both sides of the road. Under the large green shade, the sun shone on the road, quiet and elegant. I have to admit that it was just this first impression that gave him great favor.

Through the gaps of the trees, you can see that the roadside is covered with green grass. The growth of the grass is gratifying, and it seems to be a little too pleasing. The crazy green grass is knee-deep. Has it been cleared for a long time? There are some pine trees not far from the grass. I think that when the wind blows at night, the scene here will definitely become very gloomy, right? A few wild flowers flashing in the eyes exist in this green field. You can also smell a faint fragrance in your nose.

The car turned a gentle slope, so Ai Fei and Ai Shiko could see the main structure of the house that appeared at the end of the road: this is a three-story brick and wood building with a total structure of a slightly black like the gate, and the shiny large glass reflects the sunlight, but it is not harmonious when combined with the quaint style of the main building.

Frowning slightly, the mother and son walked out of the car, and the difference between his son's attention was different from his son's glass. Ai Shiko fell in love with the environment here at the first time: "Xiao Aijun, have you seen it? The area here is so large!"

"Um." Ai Fei agreed in a random manner, and walked up the steps: "Is it this?"

"Yes, sir. Looking from the outside, it's just a building. In fact, there are many connected buildings behind it. Please allow me to take you and your wife for a browsing."

Three. When people walked into the building, they were covered with floors of the same color. The long floor was made up of one neat and one piece of wood after another. The Japanese personality traits that pay attention to details were fully demonstrated in this regard: although they had not been measured with a ruler, but based on visual inspection, there was no difference between the length and width of all floors. I really don’t know where they found them?

Yishui flooring is not chosen now, but has always maintained its original form when it was built back then." Noting his admiring eyes, Tanaka Rui took the initiative to explain: "The piano room specially requested by the president is here, will I take you there?"

"No hurry for this." Ai Fei stood in the middle of the husband's hall and looked at both sides: they were very deep corridors, and they were a little terrible: "What are the two sides of the corridors used for?"

"Part of it is for the people to use and live in, and part of it is used as a guest room. Of course, there are also rooms on the second floor."

"Should you wait a moment, call the people who stayed here. I want to meet them."

"Hi Wei! I'll make arrangements right away."

Tanaka Rui was cursing the world, and there were only mother and son left in the hall! "Mom. You like the whole family.

"Of course, my mother likes it very much. She likes it so much." Ai Xiko looked very excited as if she was younger: "Do we really want to live here? And Xiao Ai Jun, have you heard it? There are still servants! Actually, "Oh, they are here!"

Ai Fei looked back and saw that from the entrance of the gate, Tanaka Rui took the lead, followed by an old person, the man was wearing the same black tuxedo, looking very sturdy; the woman was in the traditional kimono, with his head down and his feet light.

Everyone stood in front of the mother and son: "This is Ai Feijun, this is Ai Feijun's mother, Mrs. Ai Xiko"

"Ai Feijun, Madam Yukiko. Good morning!" Under the leadership of a leading man, everyone bowed and bowed.

Tanaka Rui introduced them: "Sir, this is the butler of the original owner of the manor, Zhongtai Jun, who is responsible for the life and management of all the servants in the manor. This is his wife. He is also the Lord of the Hokluri Riman, who is responsible for the owner's daily life and needs of the women. This is Waseda Majun, who is responsible for the night guard and safety of the manor."

After the introduction, Ai Fei shook hands with everyone one by one: "For the first time we met, please take care of me."

"Ladies and gentlemen, if it goes well, after about a month, my family and I will start a new life in this vast manor-style residence under the care and love of you. This is a very novel experience for you, for me and my family. After all, leaving everything that was originally familiar to you, and facing a completely new environment, facing a new person is as nervous and curious as finding a new job. But in my opinion, you are all people with deep and rich experience in this area. You will give more constructive and practical opinions than me about the management of the manor and the arrangement of daily life. What I can assure you is that in this regard, I will not randomly put forward my own opinions to interfere with your work. On the contrary, I will respect your work as much as possible."

Next, there are some personal requirements for me that I want to explain in advance. My personal requirements for life are not very high, and the requirements for the people around me are the same. As long as each does his own job, I think it is a responsible behavior. Of course, if someone is willing or able to help others complete the work that does not belong to him, I will not object. The thing that I personally dislike most is that there is excessive attention everywhere in life, just like now."

"Although it was our first time meeting, I could feel the deep-rooted concept of superiors and subordinates cultivated in the original living environment. I am not saying that there is no need to maintain minimum politeness between each other, but in such a peaceful, peaceful and pleasant living environment, I don't want to see someone maintain a nearly cold politeness every time I meet me. So, if possible, I hope everyone can remain as relaxed as possible in work and life. Is that OK?"

"Sorry, sir." The Henglu Zotye, as a butler, stepped out of the crowd and bowed in an extremely well-educated manner: "For the next step, being a butler for the gentleman and his family is to meet the needs in all aspects. In this process, maintaining the distance between us, whether in our service or in our daily conversations, is extremely necessary. Therefore, I cannot agree with what Ai Jun said. Life can be said more casually and more relaxedly.

Ai Fei blinked in confusion: "You mean? You would rather keep a close distance from me than be a friend than be a friend. I mean? Are you not willing or everyone else?"

"Sorry, first step, this is the opinion of all of us."

Ai Fei was really confused, he thought for a moment: "Your previous master is

"Kisanjun Tokugawa died of cancer last year.

"What does he do?"

Er, sir, he doesn't do anything. He just lived in this world as the clan leader of the last generation of the Tokugawa family. It was only because of his departure that you had the opportunity to become the owner of this manor."

"But empty words cannot be compensated after all, and good words have been sent to my heart?" I don't know what I remembered, but Ai Fei suddenly recited a few words like he was muttering a few words: "Have you heard this sentence?"

"The first act of "Othello" and the third scene. Mr."

"Well, it's not bad. Have you seen it?" Ai Fei nodded with satisfaction: "It's such a poetic language."

"Hi Ka! Sir, I feel the same way." Henglu Zotye nodded: "I once enjoyed this drama with Xi Sanjun."

"Okay, if you have the chance, I would like to discuss Shakespeare's drama with you. Now, let's continue our topic, Henglu Jun. I don't know what kind of working state you were in when your original master was alive. But if you want to continue living and working in this manor, you have to do what I said. At least, on the surface, you have to do what I asked. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Henglu nodded: "Please allow you to accept your request with a very reluctant mood."

"There is not much time for you to lament the injustice of fate. Now, Henglujun, please lead my mother and I around the manor. If I guess correctly, you should be more familiar with the environment here than Tanaka, right?"

,”

Standing on the balcony of the bedroom east of the third floor, looking into the distance of the manor. A corner of the lush and lush building looms: "Where is there?"

"Where?" Heng Lu curled his lips strangely: "A very interesting place."

"Wait?"

"There is, specifically, the place where the original owner carries out secret activities."

Ai Fei turned around and looked at his side face: "Secret activity?"

"Uh" Ai Shiko, who was standing aside, lowered her voice: "With a woman."

"Ah, I understand." Ai Fei's heart moved: As a man, he was naturally full of curiosity about such a place in the manor. But now he is with his mother. The situation does not allow him to go over and see him, so he can only say whatever he wants: "Okay, if you have a chance, I really want to go over and see him. Are you willing to serve as a pre-guidance for me?"

"Yes, sir, your request is an order."
