Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Even if he doesn't meet Chika, he still has to meet his nominal father-in-law, Fujiwara Daichi.

In the past two days, while pondering the official appointments for the Water Department, he suddenly thought of Fujiwara Kaori's relatives.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that Fujiwara Kaori was Fujiwara Daichi's adopted daughter!

Then... he even thought of turning all the officials of the Water Department into the Qin family.

I doubt this would look good on Fujiwara no Taira.

When it comes to closeness, Fujiwara Kaori's uncle has to be set aside, and Fujiwara Daichi's situation must be considered first.

The fact that they still messed things up like this is truly embarrassing.

After careful consideration, Kyosuke Kosaka decided to come anyway.

I had asked about it before I came.

Therefore, Kousaka Kyosuke should meet Fujiwara Daichi when he goes to visit.

Although it was noon.

However, there is a tradition throughout the country of slacking off and taking long leave.

Officials who didn't want to go to work would use "avoiding certain days" as an excuse.

Like seeing the corpses of cats and dogs or filthy things.

Even a falling piece of wood can be used as a reason to ask for leave!

And then, I still received my salary.

In contrast, Kyosuke Kosaka felt that he really was an industry benchmark.

"Kyosuke-sama!"

"What a coincidence, you've finished your business?"

"Yes."

Fujiwara Masataka, who had met with Kosaka Kyosuke that morning, quickly and respectfully said...

He didn't have many tasks.

Coupled with being ostracized by superiors and colleagues, sometimes not going actually reduces trouble.

Now he relies more on his older brother, who is about to be promoted to major general.

"Lord Kyosuke, please forgive me for not greeting you sooner." At this moment, Fujiwara Daichi also arrived.

Kyosuke Kousaka stepped forward with a smile: "You're too kind."

Fujiwara Masataka secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the harmonious atmosphere.

It seems that Qianhua's side has indeed done a very good job.

It's a terrible idea to use one's niece to gain political capital.

But once he truly realized that Kyosuke Kousaka's personality was actually quite good, he was completely relieved.

Youshi.

It rained heavily.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who wanted to go back and comfort Fujishibu, made an excuse and left.

After all, he really didn't want to chat all night again.

The thought of the women in his bedchamber made him feel much happier.

Perhaps it's because of the room.

Even the rather reserved Yukinoshita began to subtly hint at it in private.

Shizuko also had that intention.

As expected, I was just too shy before.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but smile when he thought about the party he had in the master bedroom before.

Such a thing is highly unlikely in the future.

The only ones without any scruples are Fujiwara Kaori and Susa.

“…” As Mansui watched Kousaka Kyosuke leave in an oxcart, she began to realize that something was wrong.

When her second uncle asked her about her daughter and Kyosuke Kosaka, she finally told the truth.

As a result, my second uncle's face turned pale.

For a moment, she seemed to be convulsing and couldn't say anything, even her husband was so embarrassed that he kept touching his nose.

It's fortunate that my other uncles and cousins ​​didn't come, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing.

Let's return to the area where the meeting was being held in the hall.

At this moment, Fujiwara Daichi and Fujiwara Masataka sat facing each other.

Fujiwara Masataka was completely shut down after hearing what his sister-in-law said.

Especially after hearing that Kyosuke Kosaka planned to have them recommend some people to the newly established government office, the Water Department...

At the time, he was still thinking that "in this era, marriage is still the most reliable relationship."

As a result, his sister-in-law's words, which conveyed a complex attitude, left him completely blank.

To be honest, Fujiwara Masataka, who is so old, has encountered some incredible things in his life.

It's only when such matters involve the interests of one's own niece, as well as oneself, one's own son, and other relatives such as brothers.

He still couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

Given how sensitive the topic was, he ultimately didn't say it.

"Changlong, I'm sorry, I've caused you and others a lot of trouble," Fujiwara Daichi said sheepishly.

Actually.

Just now, when I heard Kyosuke Kosaka say that he wanted them to recommend some people to the Water Department.

He was in a very awkward situation.

Fujiwara Daichi, who had a general understanding of the situation, immediately grasped the meaning.

He understood that Kyosuke Kosaka had invited him to recommend someone because of Kaori Fujiwara.

“It’s…nothing,” Fujiwara Masataka said dryly.

Kyosuke Kosaka asked them to recommend people.

He now needs to consider how many people to recommend.

My two sons came over, and my younger brother Chang and his three sons came over as well.

This doesn't even include the number of other cousins...

One Water Department is not enough to handle it all.

Moreover, Kyosuke Kosaka said that his wife's relatives, who came from the Hata clan, were skilled in martial arts and military strategy.

It's basically an implication that they shouldn't be too greedy and should only recommend those who are capable.

He didn't understand before, but now he understands everything.

"I'll have Xiangzi help with this. Please give me some time, Uncle."

Wan Sui bowed apologetically as she reached the door.

Fujiwara Masataka tried his best to keep his smile from becoming forced, and lowered his head as well: "Please, Manho."

There is still a chance to remedy the situation.

He knew it a long time ago.

Kyosuke Kosaka's achievements in the extermination have not yet been fully announced.

It will soon become another office of the Prosecutor's Office for Illegal Activities.

There will definitely be a shortage of manpower at that time.

At this time, Kyosuke Kousaka had four wives.

Xiangzi and Chika made up half of them, while the family of the unknown Fujishibu did not have any extra relatives.

On the contrary, the Qin family, a family with almost no reputation in Kyoto, is a great threat.

If what Kousaka Kyosuke said is true, that they are all skilled in martial arts and also knowledgeable in military strategy, then...

Therefore, both the Bureau of Investigation and Inspection and the newly established Department of Water Resources can play a significant role.

In contrast.

Xiangzi is just a distant niece.

According to my sister-in-law, Wan Sui, she is very wary of Chika, who likes to play around, because of what happened with Fujishibu.

Chika herself, due to their previous relationship, chatted with Kousaka Kyosuke for two consecutive nights.

They chatted for two nights in a row?!
