National Tide 1980

Although up to this point, Matsumoto Keiko's parents have not had the opportunity to communicate too much private information with Jiang Nianyun.

They only know that she is an "aunt" who has no blood relationship with Ning Weimin and is also the manager of Yunyuan.

They still know nothing about her other things.

But Matsumoto Keiko's parents are not stupid after all.

With their own life experience and rich knowledge, they have seen some things that do not need to be said from various signs at this time.

At least they can infer that this trip to the capital will never be as simple as they imagined in Japan.

It will not come here just to perfunctorily go through the entire wedding process.

In fact, they dare not relax any more.

Now it seems that these elders and relatives of Ning Weimin are actually like him, who likes to hide their talents and hide their depths.

So if they don't really cheer up and deal with the situation in front of them, then the shame will definitely be on their side of the woman in the end.

They didn't want people to think that they, as parents, didn't value their daughter's marriage, because they made their daughter lose face.

Let's not talk about anything else, just say that Jiang Nianyun arranged such a place for them to live, such a pomp, and such a way of entertaining guests are not something that nouveau riche can do.

This is not just about superficial luxury, but the words "refined" and "elegant" are everywhere.

Needless to say, these two words actually represent more money.

The calligraphy and paintings hanging in this room look a bit old.

Although Han Yingming and his wife don't understand Chinese calligraphy and painting, they have seen some Japanese paintings by famous artists.

Judging from the level, age and judgment of the painters, it is clear that the things in this room are obviously not common goods and are not cheap.

Those porcelains also look extraordinary, and I think they are also made by famous artists.

Especially the pair of peony bonsai in the material vessel looks crystal clear, smooth and smooth, like a gem, there is no such thing in Japan.

Speaking of which, Ning Weimin did give Han Yingming a glass grape rack when he was in Japan.

So the couple also knew that this thing was called glassware and was made of glass.

But although the glass grape rack Han Yingming placed in the study had two bunches, one purple and one green, it was much smaller than the half-meter-high glass peony bonsai, so how could it be compared with them?

So it can be concluded that these two pots of glass peonies are also worth a lot of money.

Even the tatami in the inner room is woven with fine rush, and it feels like a wool carpet when you step on it.

Matsumoto Keiko's parents were really surprised. They had no idea how they got it in Beijing, and who came up with this level of decoration.

Such things are considered high-end in Japan, and people who don't know Japan don't know that there are differences in tatami.

For such in-laws, how can people dare to underestimate them?

This is nothing. After seeing the Japanese-style bathroom and clean and modern toilet in the yard, Han Yingming and his wife felt more at ease about the conditions here, and were almost speechless with surprise.

To be honest, before they came, even the best idea was to stay in a star-rated hotel in Beijing.

Considering the backwardness of Beijing in all aspects and the widespread notoriety of "going to the toilet is like going to hell".

They felt that as long as the hygiene and service level of the place where they lived could catch up with ordinary hotels in Japan, they would be satisfied.

I never thought that the place where they could stay in Beijing would be such a place like a royal courtyard.

And living here, they can take a bath like in their home in Japan, and use such a clean, bright, well-ventilated and well-equipped bathroom.

All this is so good that it seems like a dream.

But then again, because of this, it doesn't make sense logically.

This is also what they can't understand the most. This is obviously a Chinese-style house, why is there such a high-end and traditional Japanese-style room?

And the specifications are so high.

According to the quality and quantity of these projects, the cost of achieving this may be far beyond imagination, and the cost is really not low.

In particular, it is necessary to let people who know Japanese life very well to design and plan, in order to come up with such a result.

Did the son-in-law prepare it specifically to please his daughter or to receive them?

It seems unlikely.

After all, this house is not his, how could he build such a big house and make a big fuss?

But since this is a hotel, it makes sense if you think about it carefully. Could it be that this place will be used to receive Japanese dignitaries in the future?

For this reason, Han Yingming couldn't help his curiosity and asked.

Unexpectedly, this time Jiang Nianyun didn't have to speak, and his daughter Matsumoto Keiko gave them the answer.

"Dad, I forgot to tell you that this room was where Uncle Amin's teacher used to live. That gentleman married a Japanese wife, and she was a lady from a noble family named Yiqiao. It is said that this gentleman loved his wife very much, so he was worried that his wife would not be able to get used to living in the capital, so he specially transformed the east and west rooms of this house in the north into Japanese style, fully taking into account his wife's living habits. That is why Uncle Amin restored the house almost as it was a few years ago, and later simply let us live here. Now that Mom and Dad are here, it's even better, and there shouldn't be anything unfamiliar in life. As for letting outsiders live here, that's impossible. This is Uncle's private residence, and it has special meaning. He will never let anyone other than relatives and friends live here..."

Han Yingming only then realized that the actual answer was completely different from what he had guessed.

Especially the original owner of this room was Kang Shude's teacher and his wife, and his wife was the daughter of the famous Japanese Chinese family - Yiqiao family.

It was another piece of news that made them stunned and unbelievable.

Yibashi!

That is a branch of the Tokugawa family, much more noble than ordinary nobles!

In the Edo period, the shogunate was more powerful than the royal family, and that was the real master of Japan.

For a moment, not only did Han Changzi feel very honored, he praised again with a radiant face, and bowed to Jiang Nianyun to thank him.

Han Yingming, who asked this question, looked at the yard, and there were some beads of sweat on his nose.

He now felt that he was completely wrong.

Who said that his son-in-law was a poor boy with no one to rely on and no foundation?

Who said that his teacher, that uncle who was not related by blood, was just an ordinary widowed old man?

Look, this is the real background of others, he even blamed his daughter a little.

Why didn't you tell me these important things in advance.

Is this child too simple, why doesn't she know how to think about these things, what others tell her, she thinks it?

And there are some things she clearly knows, but she has to wait for me to ask it in person before telling it.

This daughter who cheated her father, isn't this a joke?

So for this matter, Han Yingming's confidence was weakened a little bit.

Because now he found out that Ning Weimin's relatives and friends are not ordinary rich.

They really have family heritage and cultural heritage, and their foundation is stronger than him who is picky.

He would not believe this before he came here.

But now that he has seen it and touched it in person, he can no longer ignore it. He can only be shocked in his heart and ashamed of his past words and deeds.

And even though Kang Shude has not met him yet, he dare not underestimate this lonely old man who has not met him yet.

Thinking of this, he even felt that he didn't dare to take out the gift he had prepared. He felt a little guilty and felt that the gift was too little.

So in order to buy some time to prepare again, he couldn't help asking. "Excuse me, where is Amin's uncle now? Are we lucky enough to meet today?"

But he didn't know that asking this question would cause more surprises.

Although Jiang Nianyun's answer was light, it was like thunder that almost struck him numb.

"Ah, ask him. He is now in the East Courtyard Theater. This is for the wedding of our two children. We plan to have a good time. We invited the Fenglei Peking Opera Troupe to perform. They don't need to rehearse much, but at least they have to come and see and get familiar with the venue. Old Kang is now taking those Peking Opera Troupe people to the theater to decide the play and make performance arrangements. Don't worry, he will definitely come back after the work over there is done. He knows that there are distinguished guests coming today, and he is also looking forward to meeting you two, and will never delay."

"What? Theater? Is there a theater that performs traditional dramas here!"

Through the translation of Matsumoto Keiko, they were told that to the east of the garden owned by Kang Shude, there is a large theater where you can watch plays indoors.

It is not small in scale, almost equivalent to a private Kabuki theater.

Han Yingming and Han Changzi looked at each other, and this time they really couldn't hide their excitement, revealing a look of shock.

For no other reason, they finally discovered the difference between the rich in China and the local tycoons in Japan.

You know, in Japan, even in the emperor's home, there is no such private theater for private individuals to watch traditional arts.

There is an Imperial Theater opposite the Imperial Palace, but it is still open to the public.

It's so extravagant and luxurious, it's amazing.

And they never thought that their daughter's wedding could be celebrated with a special performance of traditional arts.

Even the Japanese royal family would not have such a grand ceremony when marrying their daughters.

Now Han Yingming feels that this garden may really be comparable to the emperor's palace. It is really a wealthy family he has never seen.

He really didn't expect that his silly daughter who was desperate for love would have such a blessing.

The Chinese son-in-law who obviously seemed to be crazy and dizzy to marry was actually a talented invisible rich man.

Enthusiasm Even his relatives and friends who seemed to have no blood relationship and seemed insignificant were actually hidden giant local tycoons.

Oh my, my daughter actually married into a real rich family without realizing it, what kind of luck is this!

Speaking of which, this son-in-law is really good. It seems that this is not much worse than marrying into a Japanese chaebol family.

And if that's the case, all of this will belong to his son-in-law in the future.

Not only will his daughter enjoy the good fortune, but even his grandson and granddaughter will be destined to benefit from it.

No wonder Ah Min is obsessed with this place. This is the real reason.

Yes, if he were a son-in-law in another place, he would not want to leave here.

Even if he was allowed to live here for a long time, he would be willing to do so. It is a hundred times better than those so-called luxury houses in developed countries.

So excited! So excited! I can't control myself at all!

This time, I really should come. I should have come a long time ago!

Yes, now he must make up his mind to have a good relationship with Ning Weimin's relatives!

He can't let them be dissatisfied, hold back his son-in-law and daughter, and let such a large fortune fly away.

He decided to start pleasing them now!

Oh my God, to be honest, it would be great if this place was in Tokyo, Japan.

This beautiful garden, even if it is completely flattened, is worth a lot of money.

It can probably buy a city in the United States.

While thinking about this, Han Yingming heard a not-so-loud but crisp cough in the yard.

He turned his head and looked out the window, and saw an old man in his sixties with a long beard running straight to the north room.

This man's clothes were not very particular, just a white thick shirt on the upper body, light-colored pants on the lower body, and a pair of Chinese cloth shoes.

Even because he was holding a palm leaf fan and a teacup in his hands, this was even a symbol of vulgarity and a very impolite image in the eyes of Han Yingming, who was dressed in formal clothes.

But he immediately realized that this man might be Ning Weimin's uncle, the real owner of this garden.

So he was not angry, but turned to look at the expressions of Jiang Nianyun and his daughter.

Sure enough, as he expected, you can't judge a person by his appearance.

He could not help but tidy up his clothes quickly, and asked his wife to go to the main hall to greet people.

So when Kang Shude entered the room, he was surprised to see that the main hall was full of people before he even had time to put down his hand that was pulling the curtain. In addition to Jiang Nianyun and Matsumoto Keiko, there was a man and a woman who were almost the same age as him, looking at him with a smile on their faces.

Especially the man, who smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed.

"It's our first meeting, please take care of us. We are Keiko's parents. Thank you very much for your hospitality..."

Han Yingming didn't care whether Kang Shude could react or not, and bowed to express his respect.

However, the things that surprised him that day were destined to be endless.

Just as he was waiting for his daughter to translate for him, he was accidentally sprained again.

Because he actually heard Kang Shude speaking Japanese.

"Don't be polite, we are all family, and the two children have been a family for a long time. On behalf of myself and Weimin, I welcome you and your wife to the capital. It's great to see you. You've worked hard on the road. Please sit down, please sit down, let's talk slowly..."

"Oh, great, Mr. Kang, can you speak Japanese? You are really fluent in Japanese."

"Haha, you are flattered. I have not spoken Japanese for many years. In fact, I can speak a few words in Korean."

"Ah, you also speak Korean..."

"But my level is even worse, limited to bargaining..."

"Okay, Lao Kang, it's time for dinner, so let's welcome the guests first."

"Oh, yes, let's go to the east room..."

In the end, it was Jiang Nianyun who summed up the conversation in one sentence, opening a new scene of setting up a banquet for guests.
