Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 2 Son-in-law
  Kyoto Prefecture·Ooka House
  Oka House is located in a beautiful Feng Shui land, and the surrounding area is filled with many ornamental plants.

Tonight, the mansion that was supposed to be resting was extremely lively, and the garden was brightly lit. Today was the ninety-ninth birthday of the mother of the current head of the family, so the head of the family held a grand birthday banquet to celebrate.

A large group of grandchildren and sons-in-law are presenting birthday gifts to the old lady.

Since the old lady collected many paintings with names, they agreed to bring calligraphy and paintings from all over the world to the old lady, hoping to please her.

"Grandma, this is a famous painting I specially prepared for you. I hope grandma will like it."

"Thank you, leave it alone."

Obviously the old lady didn't like the painting very much, so she continued to accept the gift after a few perfunctory words.

"Grandma, this is the silver cup I specially selected."

"Well, it's good. Finally, there's something I like."

The old lady saw that these children would never come to talk to her on weekdays. I only think of myself when holidays come, and I feel so helpless about it. Why do some people always think that they will be particularly happy if they find a special day to celebrate? When you can come over and chat with her on weekdays, it is better to choose a special day to express filial piety. much better.

When people reach a certain age, they will fall into panic, fearing that the people around them will alienate themselves, and the feeling of gradually losing vitality is really scary...

"Where's Little Hongye?" the old lady asked.

Now the only person in the family that satisfies her is her granddaughter, Ooka Momiji, who has inherited her legacy. She has now joined the Nagoro-kai under Nagoro Shikako, whom she once taught, and is working hard to become a new generation of Kabai queen.

"Miss Hongye should be here soon. I just saw her coming with Fujiwara."

"Grandma~"

Hongye, who was wearing a black-sewn maple leaf kimono, walked in in small steps carrying a gift prepared for the other party, followed by a man, but as he came in, the face of the happy family suddenly changed.

"This is Gyokuro tea prepared by my teacher for you. I hope you like it."

"Where is the other person? I remember I sent him a special invitation letter, right?"

"Teacher, he was temporarily busy and couldn't come, so he asked me to express my apology to you."

"Forget it, I don't want to see him either. That old boy was beaten by me several times when he was a child. I'm afraid he doesn't dare to come and see me. That's all. Little Hongye can just come over."

"Happy birthday grandma, may you live a long life."

While speaking, the old lady suddenly turned aside Fujiwara Hoshikai. After seeing his hands, she shook her head in vain and said nothing.

Hongye wanted to explain, but thought that he had no time to prepare gifts because of the beating, so he followed her grandma and left silently.

The old lady liked the excitement, so the owner specially customized a long wooden table that was twenty meters long.

"Little Hongye, come next to me. I'll sit closer to you."

Everyone took their seats one after another. Fujiwara wanted to sit down with his fiancée, but he didn't expect that as soon as he got close, he was squeezed out by his cousin Hongye next to him.

"Red leaves and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Fujiwara-kun probably won't mind us sisters sitting together and chatting."

This eldest cousin had insinuated it more than once before that Fujiwara's marriage to the Ooka family was the greatest luck in his life.

"Well, I don't mind."

How could he say he didn't mind, so he left the main seat with a smile.

Hongye didn't say anything when she saw this, but seeing her cousin's behavior still made her slightly unhappy.

Even though he didn't want to admit it, after all, that person was the person who was about to become her husband. The yin and yang words that others say to him are also said to himself.

So she avoided her cousin's arm and let herself sit alone.

…   “Fujiwara-kun, just be casual and don’t be formal. After all, since you are planning to marry into our family, we are all one family.” One of the people made a ‘well-intentioned’ suggestion to Fujiwara, who couldn’t find a seat.

"It seems that there is no place for me here. Is there one missing during the arrangement?"

"There is no place for Fujiwara-kun? Second uncle, he has no place."

Everyone around them looked at Fujiwara Xinghai, and they all looked at the young man-in-law appointed by the late family head with a theatrical attitude.

Momiji's second uncle, Ooka Jujiro, who planned the banquet, slowly raised his head, squinted his eyes and smiled: "There should be no shortage of seats. Mr. Xinghai, why don't you help me see who wants to occupy our Ooka family's seat."

At this time, someone else said: "It must be my second uncle. He thinks that Mr. Fujiwara is not yet a member of our Ooka family."

It is necessary to change the surname when marrying into the family.

"It's better to change the name so that it sounds smoother."

In the end, the old lady stepped forward to stop the booing people and got him a small table next to her.

As soon as we sat down, someone started to find fault again, guessing what gift Fujiwara had given the old lady.

"It must be a very heavy gift, after all, we are also marrying Momiji to Fujiwara-kun."

"I guess he walked in empty-handed. He probably didn't bring anything."

"Well, it's enough for Fujiwara-kun to come and attend the birthday party of an old lady like me."

This kind of slightly exaggerated and very seductive words sounded particularly harsh to Fujiwara.

It's not because he's sensitive, because this family is all intersex, and this has been going on for three years.

Every time there was a family gathering, Fujiwara would be pulled out to go solo.

No, as soon as we got here, the people who were obviously drinking began to talk to Fujiwara again.

"Fujiwara-kun is so lucky to be favored by our old man."

"Yes," Fujiwara replied, imitating their tone while sipping his wine, "If it weren't for him, how would I have the honor to drink with you big shots?"

Although Fujiwara has not yet come into contact with the Ooka family business, he can guess the overall influence of this family through speculation from the outside world.

To put it bluntly, if the Ooka family in this world is compared to the urban Long Aotian novel he read in his previous life, then the Ooka family is the kind of existence similar to the Binhai Wang family.

Powerful and rich.

So every time he thought about it, he was very distressed, why did other people have prominent family backgrounds, beautiful aunts, and either the King of Soldiers or the King of Dragons.

No matter how bad things are, he still has a golden finger that can put him above everyone else. But he has nothing, and he still follows a group of people all day long and is mischievous. It is not easy for him to do good things and be misunderstood by others.

In fact, he was also a Dragon King in person, and he was a rare genius player in the shogi world. At the age of 15, he became the youngest Dragon King in the neon shogi world.

But later, because he lost the Dragon King title defense and gave the title to others, he committed suicide and was inherited by the time-traveled Ye Fan.

He was just too difficult.

For three years, he comforted himself with the mentality of waiting, but the problem was that if Goldfinger didn't come again, he would really become a son-in-law.

At this time, someone drank and complained:

"It's hard to find someone luckier than Fujiwara-kun in the world. Grandpa's love for Fujiwara-kun during his lifetime makes us grandchildren very jealous."
