A familiar voice sounded, and Princess Shijo appeared in sight when Hayasaka turned her head.

She obviously changed into a simple but delicate dress, her hair was obviously taken care of before going out, and she also put on a light makeup, which showed that she was very prepared.

"I just arrived a while ago, you are very punctual." Izayoi raised his watch.

There are still 5 minutes before the agreed time of [-]:[-], obviously everyone has arrived early.

"Hmm..." Concubine Zhen nodded, and she also saw Hayasaka, "I didn't expect Ai to be there, didn't you say that no one would accompany you to shop together, so I kindly came here?"

"It was all arranged by Wanlihua, and she didn't tell me." Shiliuye replied truthfully.

Concubine Zhen couldn't help feeling, "You are too passive..."

"For the rest of the way, let's go."

Under the reminder of Izayoi, Zhenfei and Hayasaka followed him to the street.

Reward announcement

Let's talk about the rewards that were issued at the end of the chapter before in the official chapter.

Reward 1W plus an update, blade 100 plus an update.

The monthly ticket is 100 plus once, and the recommendation ticket is 1000 plus once.

On weekdays, because I have to go to work during the day, I fix one change, and the second is to add a change.

On weekends and weekends, on the basis of double updates, changes will be added depending on the reward situation.

Although I know there may not be any, but if there is a gold treasure box, I owe 20 more.

Chapter 25 Intimacy

"But having said that, you seem to be quite free."

Walking on the street, Concubine Zhen glanced sideways at Izayoi's side face, he was reading the Japanese dessert note that Wan Lihua helped prepare.

"Is there?" Sixteen nights smiled.

"Otherwise? Shouldn't you go to meet various dignitaries on this kind of weekend, or hold some small banquet at home to entertain those distinguished guests?" Zhenfei said.

Shizayoi shook his head, "Yesterday was a typhoon, so all the appointments for this week have been cancelled. Besides, the Tachibana House is not a guest house, anyone who comes can visit."

"Oh?" Concubine Zhen didn't believe it.

"Anyway, there are female relatives in the family. If the guests are not selected properly, conflicts and misunderstandings will arise, and it will be very troublesome." Sixteen nights continued to explain.

Concubine Zhen is too lazy to continue listening to his answers, and Izayoi's reason is simply untenable. If he says that he doesn't want to meet guests, Concubine Zhen feels more credible...

Huh?

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhen couldn't help being surprised.

Obviously Tachibana Izayoi is the type who is very keen on family affairs, why does she have the impression of being lazy?

"What's wrong?" Sixteen Nights asked.

Concubine Zhen quickly shook her head, "It's nothing... I was thinking about the content of the note you read—"

"What else is there, it's the note written by Wan Lihua." Izayoi handed over the note generously.

Concubine Zhen was a little surprised by this attitude of not hiding anything, she took it over suspiciously, and it was true.

It's just that because he had been watching just now, not only Concubine Zhen, but also Hayasaka who was on her left couldn't help but glance at it.

"Wanlihua knows Japanese desserts very well..." Concubine Zhen was thoughtful.

On the note were the names of some shops. Concubine Zhen had heard of each shop, indicating that it was a kind of well-known pastry shop, but besides that, Wan Lihua also wrote her evaluation and opinions on each shop in not-so-pretty handwriting under each shop.

It seems that I have eaten it, and I also have considerable experience in making dim sum, so I can write something.

"Yeah, I don't quite understand it, so I can only turn to her for help." Sixteen nights smiled proudly.

Concubine Zhen was also amused by his attitude, "Such an obvious show off, a fool can't see it..."

"I didn't expect Young Master Orange to have something he didn't know."

After the rendezvous, Hayasaka, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again on the road together.

"I don't know much about cooking, let alone Japanese and Western-style dim sum." Izayoi smiled and closed his eyes, as if he was very happy. "To be honest, the most suitable people to go shopping together today should be Wanlihua and Miss Shinomiya."

Hayasaka was taken aback, "Miss Hui Ye?"

"That's right, Miss Shinomiya is an out-and-out connoisseur of Japanese sweets, and like Wan Lihua, she has a professional tea ceremony certificate." Izayoyo continued naturally, "Am I wrong?"

"..." Hayasaka couldn't help but give out a helpless but meaningful smile, "Master Tachibana really knows everything."

"It's not that I know everything, I just know what I know." Shiliuye suddenly changed his tone, it sounded modest, but at the same time revealed some confidence.

Concubine Zhen couldn't help but folded her arms, tilted her head and began to think, "I always feel like I've heard such a line somewhere before...it's definitely not original by you, right?"

"Then before arriving at the first wagashi shop, if you can remember the source, I will promise you a request." Izayoi raised two fingers.

"Isn't that what 'two' means?"

"No, I put up two fingers, which means that we are two streets away from the first store. This is your spare time." Sixteen nights said, blinking.

Concubine Zhen snorted, "Who needs your promise?"

"It's a pity. I originally thought that this kind of impromptu puzzle would make Concubine Zhen not feel bored." Izayoi flicked his fingers resentfully, "Forget it, anyway—"

"I didn't say I wouldn't play with you." Concubine Zhen closed her eyes alone, as if she was hiding something.

"what?"

"After all, we are also friends. We have known each other for more than five years, so there is no need to ignore you." Concubine Zhen continued to explain as if holding her breath, but her tone sounded strange.

"Hahaha, good." Izayoi laughed quite happily, "You have the final say."

"How funny!"

Concubine Zhen wanted to kick him at first, but thinking that this was the street and Hayasaka was beside her, she could only put down the foot she was about to lift, and bumped him very rudely instead.

Of course it didn't move.

Hayasaka on the side watched this scene silently, she was a little surprised.

Not only the overly friendly attitude of Concubine Shijo, but also Izayoi's smile just now.

Compared with the moment when he smiled at Hayasaka a moment ago, it was more like a sincere smile after discovering Zhenfei's awkward attitude.

What is this, it's as if he and Concubine Zhen have known each other since childhood and understand her temper very well.

Hayasaka remained expressionless.

She didn't even know why she continued to stay here. Since Tachibana Izayo was not without someone to accompany her, she, who was entrusted by Wan Lihua, could turn back here.

Although Kaguya gave the verbal order in the end, there was no sense of an ordinary order at all, and it was more a matter of following Wanlihua's suggestion.

The two people next to her were chatting and joking, but Hayasaka turned a deaf ear and walked her way alone.

"Hey, be careful."

Almost before she realized it, Izayoi stretched out her hand from the right back and gently stopped the advancing Hayasaka Ai. She raised her head and found that the green light of the zebra crossing was less than five seconds away, and five seconds was too short to cross this street intersection.

"Thank you." Hayasaka thanked in a low voice.

She was distracted.

"You are a little absent-minded, love." Zhenfei asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Izayoyo pointed out as if nothing had happened, "Maybe I haven't slept well every day... The Shinomiya family has always not treated people as human beings."

"Hey..." Concubine Zhen frowned.

She didn't think Izayoi was wrong, but it was inappropriate to say it on this occasion.

Hayasaka was silent, noncommittal.

She didn't make any excuses, and looked at Izayoi who slightly dodged Zhenfei's slapping movement with subtle eyes.

Tachibana Izayoi is indeed completely right, her sleep time is extremely short, it is not born, but the biological clock caused by the heavy work the day after tomorrow.

But why is he so clear, just like he knows Kaguya's accomplishments in the tea ceremony.Obviously the latter is an open fact, while the former... is more secretive.

It sounds like he has a lot of dissatisfaction with the Shinomiya family.

It seems... Although the Tachibana family maintains a relatively friendly relationship with the Shinomiya family, he does not want to maintain the status quo.

Just like many people who secretly hate the Shinomiya family, right?

Hayasaka found what he thought was a logical explanation.

Chapter 26 Too Much Too Much

In fact, the dim sum shops recommended by Wan Lihua in the notes are quite far apart from each other. Except for the first one near Tokyu Department Store in Shibuya, you need to take a car to go to other shops.

So before leaving the first store, Izayoi asked the driver to wait outside the designated location.

But even so, even if there is a car to pick up and drop off, it is really troublesome to go to and from various stores to choose and decide the type of dim sum to purchase, and to determine whether it can be delivered to Xiuzhiyuan on time before the event.

Except for Tachibana Izayo who is used to being busy, no matter whether it is Shijo Makoto or Hayasaka Ai, even after eating and resting for a while, and continuing to go shopping in the afternoon, they are gradually feeling tired.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

After coming out of the last store, Concubine Zhen stretched her arms and relaxed her body.

"It was unexpectedly hard enough." Hayasaka also felt the same way.

"Yeah, it's a good thing that guy can keep up his spirits." Concubine Zhen said, looking around, "Eh? Where's that guy?"

"Still in the store." Hayasaka said, looking back into the store.

I saw Shiliuye push open the shop door and come out, he was still carrying Master Li from Chai Zhou.

This is the signature product of a famous store in Kanazawa. In addition to ordering for the school, Izayoi also bought a copy for himself.

"Speaking of which, you seem to have bought it in every store." Concubine Zhen pointed out the fact she had discovered a long time ago, "Take it home to try it? Or is it that you are really good at this one?"

"All of them." Shizaya handed the things to the driver and put them in the trunk before continuing to explain to Concubine Zhen, "Sawamura was invited by Wan Lihua to stay here temporarily. He is a guest, so of course I have to do my best to treat guests."

Concubine Zhen understood it, and complained speechlessly, "There is nothing to be courteous..."

"You're right." Izayo did not refute, but admitted naturally, "I heard Mrs. Sawamura loves her only daughter the most. If you can make a good impression on Sawamura-san during this period, it will certainly not be a bad thing for the Tachibana family."

"..." Concubine Zhen was speechless for a moment.

She recalled the incident that the emperor complained to her at home two days ago. At that time, the siblings were already wondering whether Tachibana Shiliuye had changed his mind or something.

If it wasn't a change of mind, but like what Izayoi said, he was trying to please Sawamura Eriri with a very utilitarian purpose, so that she would feel that the Tachibana family was very good, so that she could help speak with her parents and give the Tachibana family bring benefits.

It's really like Izayoi's style.

Concubine Zhen had to think so.

When they met in Kyushu for the first time, Izayoi showed an unprecedented friendly attitude, and expressed undoubted sincerity to her and Tei of the Shijo family.

At least Izayoi has the cunning and courage.

And he did.

"But as far as I know, Ms. Sawamura doesn't really interfere with family affairs. Even if Master Tachibana had this intention, she must—" Hayasaka retorted subconsciously.

"Things depend on man's efforts, and success depends on God. Even if there is such a meaning, but before that, Sawamura-san was Wan Lihua's friend and a distinguished guest of the Tachibana family." Izayo shook his head and softly denied, "If you decide your attitude based entirely on whether it is 'useful', sooner or later you will be abandoned by everyone because you are 'useless'."

Hayasaka was slightly taken aback, she lowered her head, "I was careless, please forgive my impoliteness, Master Tachibana."

"It's not called by name." Shizaiye said suddenly.

"Huh?" Hayasaka was puzzled, she didn't feel that she and Izayoi were familiar enough to call each other by name.

Is this person so frivolous?

"Hey, hey..." Concubine Zhen showed a strange smile.

Izayo did not change his words, "I am referring to Sawamura-san. Obviously Hayasaka-san and her are good friends since childhood, and they will call her by their first names when they are in the club, but when they refer to her outside, they always refer to her with respect."

"...It has nothing to do with you, does it?" Hayasaka denied bluntly.

"I just think that Hayasaka-san seems to be rejecting this fact subconsciously." Izayoi sighed, "I didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose."

Hayasaka slightly tightened the strap of the bag on his shoulders, "Then what does Young Master Tachibana know about me and Ying Lili? Even with good intentions, don't you think it's too much for you to pry into other people's hearts with dirty feet?"
