Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 674

He also knew that the only suitable woman to be his wife at the moment was a noblewoman.

Even if you want to delay, you can only delay it a little longer.

How about finding a suitable roommate among those from noble families or modern times?

At least suppress the criticism of not getting married despite rising in status!

He could no longer cause trouble for the head of the household, his family, and those around him.

“My sister knows a lot of people, so if you really need anything, you can tell me, and I’ll ask her,” Shijou Tei reminded her.

He himself would never accept a love letter.

He exchanged letters with Fujiwara no Michiyoshi's granddaughter, and after a while, everyone would move over to live here. How could he possibly have contact with other women?

In short, he has completely lost control of his own life.

Right now, I just hope that the people around me can live better lives...

"Thank you." Hachiman, though feeling bitter inside, still managed to say thank you.

As a man, although he felt that political marriages were unavoidable, he still longed for the love and marriage he saw in books and on television.

What about now? His hopes have gradually faded; he only wishes to maintain peace and tranquility for his family.

I ask for nothing more.

"It's almost lunchtime, let's go eat," Ayanokouji said after glancing at the sky.

Hikigaya and Shijou Tei had no objections. The three of them went to a corner of the northeast room and waited quietly. Before long, someone brought them food.

"Master Aba, Master Yumen."

"Miss Shizuko."

Upon seeing the person who brought the food, Shizuko, Hikigaya and Shijo Teito stood up and bowed.

After Shizuko placed the food on the table, she bowed in return.

He completely ignored Ayanokoji.

Ayanokouji scratched his face. What had he done wrong this time?

Then, Shizuko rolled her eyes at her, then raised her chin to signal. Ayanokouji understood, said something to Hikigaya and Shijo Tei, and left the restaurant.

"Is there enough food?"

"Enough."

"Is it really enough? Lord Kyosuke sent me to ask. He told you to eat more these days."

"I feel like I could eat another liter of rice!"

“You…” Shizuko choked, wanting to say “idiot,” but in the end she held back.

The husband must have had his reasons for letting his brother and the others eat more.

At least the older brother's self-esteem should be taken into consideration.

"Ask Lord Hachi and Lord Mikado again."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Ayanokoji was very eager.

These past few days, Kyosuke Kosaka has been feeding them rice given to them by Orochi. Even if their strength only increases slightly after eating it, it is still a very rare occurrence.

Ayanokouji will eat as much as he can without any hesitation!

Watching Ayanokouji's hurried figure, Shizuko's feelings were quite complicated.

For some reason, not long after marrying Kyosuke Kosaka, she grew to dislike her older brother more and more.

Of course, it just means it doesn't look right to me.

There were no other negative emotions.

To be honest, there are specific reasons for this.

"My brother is really something... he's totally imitating Kyosuke-sama, I hate him."

Shizuko complained.

What does it feel like when your husband is imitated by your brother?

It's like I have this urge to smash my brother's head in!

After following Kyosuke Kosaka, she was almost no different from how she was in the modern world.

Kyosuke Kosaka was happy that she was allowed to do what she liked.

Naturally, he liked Kousaka Kyosuke very much.

Even though some of the moves are difficult or embarrassing, it's only for a short time.

Essential oils and the like have also arrived recently.

Just bear with it and keep going; it's actually quite comfortable...

Lost in thought, I suddenly heard a greeting: "Miss Shizuko."

Shizuko was almost scared!

"Um……"

Shizuko forced a smile and responded to the three girls who seemed to be passing by.

The three girls, Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyo, and Ichinose Honami, all bowed silently before leaving.

Horikita Suzune: "What are Shizuko-san's strengths? Is it her skin? Or is it her personality?"

Kikyo Kushida: "She's not as unattractive as everyone says. She has an average appearance. I'm sure everyone's jealous."

Honami Ichinose: "I think I startled Shizuko-san just now..."

The three people have different thoughts.

Among them, Horikita Suzune is full of ambition, hoping to achieve her ideal state in marriage while providing assistance to her brother.

Kikyo Kushida had similar thoughts to Suzune Horikita and had been observing the situation.

Even though she was somewhat annoyed by encountering Horikita Suzune, who knew about her past, she put it aside for the time being.

Honami Ichinose, on the other hand, was more easygoing and content with her lot.

Her mother and sister came over, and the treatment was the same as before, even a little better than before. She was very satisfied.

"Lingyin, is there anything else I should be aware of?"

"Just try to talk less and not do bad things, that should be enough."

“I understand, thank you for reminding me,” Kikyo Kushida said with a smile to Suzune Horikita.

"I understand now..."

Honami Ichinose quickly added.

Horikita Suzune hummed softly, then slowly closed her mouth.

She showed no hostility towards the two new women who were suspected of being "concubine candidates" and were also alumni.

Ultimately, whether she could be called a concubine was the head of the household's subjective decision, and had nothing to do with the two people around her.

If she sees this as having two more competitors, then it only shows that she is too narrow-minded.

This is taboo.

Observing that Kousaka Kyosuke's concubines were relatively tolerant and peaceful, and his wives even more so, Horikita Suzune immediately understood what to do.

As long as she listens to Yang Nai's teachings and behaves well, she can generally achieve her goals!

"There isn't much strife in the mansion, which must be Lord Kyosuke's intention. As long as we maintain a peaceful and unassuming attitude, we can appease him."

"..." While Horikita Suzune was still pondering how to become Kousaka Kyosuke's concubine, Kushida Kikyo felt somewhat conflicted once again.

Seeing that Horikita Suzune's attitude was a bit cold but still friendly, she couldn't describe her feelings.

She will never forgive anyone who harbors hostility towards her, no matter who they are.

Horikita Suzune's friendly attitude made it difficult for her to have any complaints.

To be precise, what is wrong with her?

"I should still think about how to become the head of the family's concubine, otherwise it would be bad if I got older and was assigned to some old man."

Kikyo Kushida muttered to herself.

That's what she thought, but she didn't intend to take any action.

Shouldn't we spend at least six months figuring out everything about the mansion before we start making plans step by step?

Even if she really couldn't become the head of the household's concubine, she should try her best to marry another reliable man.

I inadvertently noticed some men bustling about outside.

Kikyo Kushida felt even more deeply moved.

This is a cruel world where hard work alone cannot achieve dreams.
