Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Unlike Hayato Shirakawa and Kazuko whose faces changed drastically, the middle-aged man who got off the car showed a smile when he saw them.

"Sister, it's been a long time, don't come here without any problems."

Hezi's complexion changed again and again, but the frown remained the same.

"How did you come?"

Hezi really wanted to turn around and leave, but after all, so many years have passed, everything has changed.

Most of the things from the past have disappeared, and for the sake of the other party coming from afar, Hezi is still a little soft-hearted after all.

"Zhengxiu, this is Xiaolu. It's no longer the old Mutsu, let alone your Xinzhuang, and there are no Chinese in the world."

Hayato Shirakawa, who had always been sullen, saw the person coming, but he reminded him honestly.

The middle-aged man smiled indifferently, "Brother-in-law, of course I know what era it is now.

I came here today just to visit my sister, nothing else.

After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years, so it's not too much to just pay a door-to-door visit. "

Hearing the other party call "brother-in-law", Hayato Shirakawa frowned.

This was the first time I heard him call her brother-in-law, and it was hard for him to call him so smoothly.

However, although the attitude of the other party has changed from the past, it has become extremely polite.

But Hayato Shirakawa still didn't give him a good face, and at the same time reminded himself secretly.

The other party came to visit suddenly after so many years, and his attitude was completely different from the first time, very different.

Then there must be something coming to the door, but no matter what, I just refuse it.

This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing. The hunting bow at home can still be drawn, and the knife for chopping wood is still sharp.

Hayato Shirakawa remained firm in his heart just as he was more than twenty years ago.

However, as an elder sister, Hezi still had a trace of blood in her heart after all, with a hesitant expression on her face.

"Why do my sister and brother-in-law still care about what happened back then?

Although I was a little rude at the beginning, but for the sake of family affection, I finally fulfilled you, didn't I? "

Seeing the hesitation on Hezi's face, the middle-aged man named Zhengxiu took the opportunity to excuse himself.

Kazuko and Hayato Shirakawa looked at each other, and they were both a little silent. But soon Shirakawa Hayato made a decision.

He nodded to the unexpected visitor, "For the sake of the original, let's talk about it first."

Some people in the village have already noticed this, and Hayato Shirakawa didn't want to get entangled with him, and he also didn't want everyone in Xiaolu to talk about it.

Seeing her husband nodding his head, Hezi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, he was always thinking of himself so much.

But the middle-aged man who agreed, that is, Hezi's younger brother Zhengxiu, immediately nodded with a smile on his face.

"What brother-in-law said is that things have passed for so many years, so don't worry about it anymore."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go in and fast forward." Hayato Shirakawa, who was standing in front of the courtyard, interrupted his courtesy very bluntly.

"Hay, Hay" Zhengxiu wasn't angry at all because of Shirakawa Hayato's attitude.

Instead, he hurriedly nodded in agreement, and finally showed an extremely friendly smile to his sister.

Alas, Hezi sighed, shook his head and turned to enter the courtyard.

Standing at the door, Zhengxiu looked up at the exquisite and unique courtyard in front of him, and nodded with emotion.

Sure enough, developed.

This kind of courtyard is now only preserved by that kind of ancient family.

Although the courtyard in front of me has been renovated, its style is not a poor imitation of ordinary people.

Rather, the essence of the real clan heritage is in it, and it must have come from everyone's hands.

It was unbelievable that my simple-minded brother-in-law could give birth to such excellent offspring.

No, it might not be his fault.

This is entirely because the child inherited his sister's blood, and only our Tozawa family can give birth to such excellent offspring.

Zhengxiu once again looked at the courtyard in front of him with nostalgic eyes, then adjusted his clothes and walked into the courtyard proudly.

Only the neighbors on the bluestone road outside were left, pointing at this place with surprised eyes.

Entering the courtyard, Zhengxiu first took a look at the layout of the garden, and then nodded in satisfaction.

It has the artistic conception of the beauty of Japanese forest gardens. Red maples, cherry trees, streams, and bluestones are unfolded sequentially in the continuous courtyard.

Not bad, really good, Zhengxiu looked at it frequently in the corridor with emotion.

The three major styles of Japanese gardens are also the three major aesthetics of Japan, monosorrow, seclusion, and wabi-sabi.

This is the beauty of mourning.

The so-called "sorrow of things" means that the momentary reality comes from the sigh in the heart.

"Sorrow" is not sad, but a sincere sigh, which means the mentality of looking at a certain link of things.

The reason why a person's life is precious is that it is limited, and it lies in unconsciously and belatedly feeling indifference, enthusiasm and sorrow with an objective heart, especially the sorrow of beautiful things.

"Sadness of things, beauty of waka" has been fully demonstrated in Murasaki Shikibu's "The Tale of Genji".

However, the reason why Bai Chuanfeng built his own courtyard in the Wusai style is not because of his deep understanding of this philosophy.

It's purely because my mother likes maple trees, and he himself prefers the bright colors of maple and cherry trees.

As for the ambiguity and the so-called ineffable beauty that "Youxuan" pursues under cover, he really can't understand it.

"The setting sun must be black, and the flickering lights should have a dark yellow aftertaste."

Because of this pursuit, the color of the courtyard is basically black and secluded.

The color was too depressing, and he couldn't taste the dark and obscure resonance in it.

As for the last style of garden design, "wabi-sabi".

Wabi is the integration of simple beauty in simplicity and tranquility, and sabi is the luster of time.

Returning to the original and implementing simplicity, this charm of pursuing Zen is somewhat inconsistent with his experience at this age.

And in the final analysis, most of these images and artistic conceptions, as well as the Japanese philosophy that values ​​aesthetic refinement, are also born out of the oriental thought of the Celestial Dynasty.

As a rationalist, after much deliberation, Bai Chuanfeng decided that "things" are the most suitable for him.

It's just that he doesn't know that the courtyard style he chooses at will is everyone's pursuit in the eyes of this Zhengxiu.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the blood of the Toze family, and their aesthetics are more than a step higher than others.

It's a pity that most of the former gardens of the Tozawa family have become other people's private residences, and everything that used to be has become a thing of the past.

However, the grand scene in front of him at this moment caused Zhengxiu to have a glimmer of fantasy.

As long as the operation is good this time, the Tozawa family may not be unable to regain its former glory.

Seeing that Hezi's back was about to disappear into the long corridor, Zhengxiu quickly withdrew his scrutiny and quickly followed the figure in front of him.

In the main hall of the courtyard, Hayato Shirakawa sat opposite Zhengxiu.

After serving a cup of tea for his cheap younger brother, Hezi also sat silently beside her husband.

Zhengxiu looked at Hayato Shirakawa eagerly, waiting for him to say hello first, and then took the opportunity to spy on the situation.

However, what disappointed him was that Shirakawa Hayato kept looking at him coldly, as if he didn't even have any interest in talking to him.

On the other hand, seeing that the atmosphere was dull, Hezi hesitated for a few seconds before speaking softly.

"At home...how is the situation at home?"

After all, she is a woman, emotionally much more emotional than her husband.

Besides, it was the place where I had grown up for nearly twenty years, after all, it was a long time. At this time, when I suddenly saw my old friend again, I couldn't help feeling a little emotional in my heart.

Seeing his sister speak, Zhengxiu immediately showed a warm smile on his face.

“Everything is fine at home, but there have been big changes.

Yoshiko and I are married and have a daughter named Keiko.

Oh, by the way, according to seniority, she still wants to call you aunt.

As for the family cemetery where my father lives, it is also cleaned from time to time and has never withered.

My sister hasn't come back for many years, so she must be thinking too hard, right?

Rest assured, the past is long gone. If my sister wants to, it’s okay to go back and have a look. "

Hezi's heart was a little moved by these words, after all these years, any grievances had been resolved.

It is said that the homeland is hard to leave, this sentence is not false at all, and Hezi feels deeply at this moment.

She turned her head and looked at her husband hesitantly.

However, Hayato Shirakawa was very sober and didn't care about his wife's gaze.

He said directly and coldly, "Zhengxiu, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't say it deliberately.

What you did back then didn't care about your loved ones at all, isn't it too late to say these things now? "

Hearing her husband's questioning, Kazuko also came to her senses.

My younger brother has a previous criminal record, so he must not believe what he says easily.

Zhengxiu, who was sitting opposite, looked a little embarrassed. He carefully glanced at his sister who had become silent again, and bowed to salute.

"The previous thing was that I was too stupid, if I hurt my sister because of this, please forgive me!"

After finishing speaking, Zhengxiu was not vague, and directly touched his forehead to the ground with his hands on his knees. He knelt neatly on the ground and took a seat facing Kazuko.

this…

Hezi was a little surprised, but also a little at a loss.

She didn't expect her proud younger brother to do such a big gift to her.

Even Hayato Shirakawa, who had been looking at him coldly, softened a lot.

For the sake of the other party's sincerity, he didn't pursue it any further.

And after so many years, Hezi, who finally got his official apology, instantly had watery eyes.

What happened many years ago, and the ups and downs along the way. Every time she thinks about those miserable days, it makes her heart palpitate.

Now looking at the person leaning over in front of him, the depression that had been hidden in his heart for a long time was finally relieved.

"Please get up." Wiping away tears, Hezi signaled the person in front of him to stand up.

With her personal approval, Zhengxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, my sister hasn't changed at all, and her heart is still so kind.

With the apology just now, the previously dull atmosphere became much more relaxed.

I have been carefully recuperating, trying to relax. Pretending to be nonchalant, he asked in an ordinary tone.

"By the way, sister and brother-in-law, why didn't you see Xiaofeng? I think I saw him when he was born."

Hearing him asking about his son, Hayato Shirakawa, who had been silent all this time, narrowed his eyes instantly.

This look is exactly the same as the look in his eyes when he saw the prey in the mountains.

But Kazuko, who was still immersed in the memory, didn't think much, she explained it very naturally.

"Xiaofeng and her classmates are on a long trip, they just left just before you came."

"Yeah, that's a pity~"

It's really a pity that Zhengxiu is so short.
