Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 279 What is the requirement (8000 words)

Konoe Tsushima led Higashinoji into a Japanese-style reception room, then walked to the other side to take down the tea leaves from the shelf and poured him tea himself.

After Higashino Si sat down and drank the tea, he asked: "This is high-grade Gyokuro tea. It can be called a delicacy. How do you feel about it?"

Higashino put down the tea bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "It's very good."

It was indeed quite good, but Higashino didn't taste anything and thought it was quite fragrant, no different from a regular big bowl of tea.

However, Konoe Tsushima was obviously very satisfied with being praised by Higashinoji. He sat down face to face with Higashinoji, and after taking a sip of tea, he asked: "How did Higashino-kun know Lianghua?"

Finally got to the point.

Higashinoji cheered up and began to talk about the process of meeting and dating Konoe Ryoka.

There are no deletions in this process, but some additional artistic processing.

When he heard that it was Konoe Ryoka who took the initiative to confess his love for Higashinoji, Konoe Tsuima was a little surprised.

Will my daughter, who is as thin as paper, take the initiative to confess her feelings?

However, considering that Higashinoji had no need to lie to him, Konoe Tsushima just nodded and took another sip of tea.

The atmosphere was a bit dull at this time. Higashinoji also noticed that Konoe Tsushima was probably thinking about something, so he didn't take the initiative to talk to him.

About a minute later, Konoe Tsushima, who had been silent for the whole time, finally spoke: "There's something I still can't figure out. Speaking of which, why does Higashino-kun like Ryoka?"

He did not shut up after raising this question and continued to speak:

"Let me put it bluntly. With your background, Mr. Dongye, you will basically not be short of a girlfriend. Lianghua has a very weak character and has no independent opinions. To be honest, I have been thinking about her future." I’m worried about life, so I’m a little confused as to why Higashino-kun likes Lianghua.”

Konoe had a purpose in asking Tsuima this question.

There is no shortage of money, and the looks are good. And after meeting, Konoe Tsushima also vaguely found that Higashinoji had a certain degree of advance and retreat, and was a good person. Even if he was talking to him alone in a room, Higashinoji didn't seem to be very nervous.

He is talented and has good psychological quality. Konoe Tsushima was very worried about Konoe Ryoka and devoted a lot to Higashinoji. In the end, Higashinoji patted his butt and left directly.

Isn’t it often reported on TV news? A certain girl is looking for life and death because of a heartless boy.

Konoe Tsushima didn't want his daughter to become like that, so of course he had to ask Higashinoji this question.

He took a sip of tea and looked up at Touyesi calmly.

I originally thought that Higashinoji would hesitate on this issue.

But Konoe Tsuima didn't expect that Higashinoji didn't hesitate at all and answered simply:

"I like Lianghua's appearance."

Be straightforward, without beating around the bush at all.

And most importantly it's simple.

too easy!

I simply like the appearance of Konoe Ryoka.

Konoe Tsushima obviously didn't expect Higashinoji to answer like this. He had already imagined in his mind how Higashinoji would tell him how much he liked Konoe Ryoka, but it turned out that he just liked his looks?

"What about other than that?" Konoe asked Ma, giving Higashinoji a step down.

"No more." Higashino replied straightforwardly.

This was a bit too upright. Konoe Tsuimadu also deliberately gave Higashino a step to step down. But he didn't expect that the opponent would not take the step at all.

"In other words, Higashino-kun just likes Ryoka's appearance?" Konoe asked again, frowning at the horse.

"It was like this at the beginning." Higashinoji smiled: "Many people claim to only look at the soul and not looks. But in reality, only with a good-looking skin can you really attract the attention of others. I think this is what my father-in-law said. I won’t deny it.”

Higashinoji said that Konoe still recognized horses. To understand a person, you must at least be interested in that person.

And when two people don't know each other, the only thing that can affect both parties is their appearance.

This is actually how Konoe Tsushima and Konoe Ryoka's mother met. Later, Konoe Ryoka's mother followed Konoe Tsushima to Tokyo and then returned to Aomori Prefecture. Those were days worth remembering.

Just thinking about it made Konoe Tsushima's tense face relax a little.

Apparently aware of Konoe's expression on the horse, Higashinoji relaxed slightly.

Asking Konoe Ryoka about her father along the way finally came in handy.

Otherwise, how could he be so upright? Just say you are greedy for Konoe Ryoka's body?

Honesty is indeed a good quality sometimes, but it also depends on the situation.

He no longer hesitated and continued: "As I said, I really only liked Lianghua's appearance at first. This is what attracted me to her. In addition to this, she also has many excellent points."

Higashinoji began to enumerate the advantages of Konoe Ryoka.

For example, she is kind, demure, and a good girl who can be trusted with her whole life. Another example is that she is much more honest than some girls in Tokyo. Even her shortcomings of being weak and unassertive have become, in Higashinoji's words, "making people protective." ', being particularly edible is a plus point for its charm.

I have to say that there is indeed an art to speaking.

After a series of consecutive blows, Konoe Tsuima nodded repeatedly, and at the same time he was a little surprised - does his little pig have so many advantages? Why does it sound like there is only one in the world?

He expressed surprise over there, but Higashinoji here was unhurried. He knew that he had to be thick-skinned at this time. As long as it wasn't too outrageous, a little bit of 'artistic processing' was fine.

Besides, she was Higashinoji's girlfriend. She was going to be his wife in the future, so it was normal for her to blow her top off.

Although Konoe Ryoka is not like the heroines of some time-travelling brothers in Qidian novels, such as the Nine Heavens Goddess, such-and-such saint, gods and ghosts, but she is still very good.

"Stop. I probably know Lianghua's advantages." Konoe Tsushima finally couldn't help but stretched out his hand to stop Higashinoji.

After listening to a large section, he finally understood. Higashinoji really liked Konoe Ryoka.

Although I don't know how long his love will last - this still needs to be observed.

In other words, Higashinoji has passed the first level and has officially entered the inspection period for his father-in-law to see his son-in-law.

Konoe is not that easy to fool around with horses. He still needs to be investigated carefully. After all, he is such a precious daughter.

With this in mind, Konoe asked Ma again: "There is something I want to ask Higashino-kun."

"Excuse me." Higashikata did not hesitate.

It is a good sign that my father-in-law asks himself questions.

At least it shows that you are still interested in yourself.

If it was really like that without even looking at him, and just being ignored, then Higashinoji would feel a little confused.

"Ryoto must have some conflicts with you, right?" Konoe asked Tsuima, stroking the edge of the tea bowl.

Liangren

Higashinoji was stunned when he heard this name, and then he found the specific information about this person from the deep corners of his memory - isn't this Konoe Ryoka's brother?

To be honest, if it weren't for the Roman pinyin of the Japanese word "cool", Higashinoji wouldn't be able to recall it right away.

Back then, Konoe Ryoka, the cheap guy, slapped Konoe Ryoka directly. Higashinoji couldn't hold back and kicked him over, leaving him lying on the ground unable to move.

In my memory, this was the first time that Higashinoji came here.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Konoe's old score suddenly turned over again.

So what’s next?

Negative? No matter what, you don't admit that this happened?

Or definitely? Admit it directly?

Higashikata thought.

About five or six seconds later, he nodded simply and replied: "There was indeed a conflict, and I beat him up."

There is no negative meaning.

He seemed very calm.

Higashinoji is not an idiot, and similarly, he will not really regard Konoe Tsushima as an idiot.

The other party must have some tricks up their sleeves if they can bring their business to this level. At most, they are a little irrational regarding the issue with Konoe Ryoka.

If you really treat this father-in-law as a fool and tell a lot of lies, it will actually affect his impression of yourself.

Thinking of this, Higashinoji added: "To be honest, I regretted a little after beating him."

"A bit regretful...?" Konoe became interested in the horse: "What do you regret, Higashino-kun?"

I saw Higashikata sighing slightly, and then said in a calm tone: "I regret why I didn't strike harder."

This is what he really thinks.

If he had known that Konoe Ryouka would be his girlfriend, he would have dealt with her more harshly, at least making Konoe Ryoto lie in bed for a month without being able to get out of bed.

He has always been a cultured person and rarely uses his hands, but when he does, he will hold the opponent down and hit him until the opponent is afraid of him and trembles when he sees him. This is Higashinoji's style.

Obviously, Higashinoji's answer surprised Konoe Tsushima, but he soon laughed: "Indeed. This is indeed a regrettable thing."

My father-in-law didn't object to Higashinoji's idea, and he even vaguely wanted to applaud him.

This sudden turn of events surprised Tonoji a little bit.

He could accept Konoe's attitude of being silent, blaming, or indifferent to the matter, but he didn't expect that he would actually look like he was doing well.

What is this situation?

Is it possible that Konoe Ryoto is not Konoe Tsushima's biological child?

Higashikata thought so.

Then

His thoughts were confirmed by Konoe Tsushima.

Konoe Ryoto is indeed not Konoe Tsushima's biological son. He is the son of that woman's ex-husband after Konoe Tsushima married another woman. He just changed his name to Konoe.

"So that's how it is," Higashikata groaned.

No wonder Konoe Ryoto was so heavy-handed in the beginning. It turned out that he and Konoe Ryoka were not biological siblings.

As for the rest, Higashikata didn't have much idea. He just nodded and stopped asking any more questions.

"Don't you wonder, Higashino-kun, why I indulge Ryoto so much?"

"My father-in-law must have his own reasons for not telling me." Higashinoji looked very calm and had no intention of getting to the bottom of things: "Besides, Konoe Ryoto hasn't appeared in front of me and Ryoka recently. I can't find a reason to beat him up." Him?"

If you don’t tell me, I won’t ask.

These words were so true that Konoe Tsushima couldn't help but nod.

It seems that my son-in-law is quite reasonable and indeed behaves like a gentleman.

But Konoe Tsushima also remembered that Konoe Ryoto had practiced karate for several years, so why couldn't he beat Higashinoji? Being knocked down and unable to move?

He was a little confused, but he still explained: "It doesn't matter if I tell you this."

Konoe Tsushima began to talk about what happened between him and Konoe Ryoto's mother.

Konoe Ryoto's mother is a very virtuous woman who doesn't fight or fight, and is almost never angry.

But it was her overly tolerant attitude that led to Konoe Ryoto not being educated well since he was a child. By the time he married Konoe Tsushima, Konoe Ryoto was completely crooked, and Konoe Tsushima also tried to educate him. It passed, but in the end it was basically nothing.

The most important thing is that Konoe Ryoto's mother also passed away. This makes Konoe feel more or less guilty about Tsuima.

Then it dragged on until now, and the other party is suppressing Konoe Ryoka openly and covertly.

"So, Higashino-kun, I'm actually quite happy that you can discipline this brat on my behalf." Konoe Tsushima looked at Higashinoji.

The reason why Konoe Ryoto didn't trouble Higashinoji in the front was because Konoe Tsushima was warning him from behind. In fact, he had already reached the limit of his patience with Konoe Ryoto.

Higashikata couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

He didn't expect Konoe Tsuima to tell him so many things. Something was obviously wrong.

After all, this situation is already a family scandal. No matter how close you are to Higashinoji, these things should not be told to Higashinoji, an outsider.

Konoe Tsuima was keenly aware of Higashinoji's thoughts. He took another sip of tea and said with a smile: "Actually, I have already made a will before, which is considered insurance."

"Will?" Higashino raised his eyebrows.

"Well, the division of property behind the Konoe family. I will assign the core property of the Konoe family to Lianghua, leaving Liangren with a few externally innocuous companies, so that he can have no worries about food and clothing in the future. This can be regarded as my wish to his mother. Explain."

".Why are you telling me this?" Toyesi narrowed his eyes, but he did not feel the joy of suddenly picking up a large amount of money.

He just felt a little weird.

It is actually a very strange thing to hand over the core industry to the eldest daughter.

Generally speaking, a family with a long history like the Konoe family is more or less patriarchal. It is not surprising that it was assigned to Konoe Ryoto.

"Higashino. No, Si-kun, you have to understand one thing. Ryoto only has a father-son relationship with me in my name." Konoe smiled at the horse and pointed out the most crucial point.

Yes.

Konoe Ryoto was his son both legally and emotionally, but in the final analysis, he still had someone else's blood flowing through him.

"He is not a blood relative of the Konoe family like Lianghua. Of course I cannot leave the core industry to him. Therefore, I have one last small request for Sijun."

Konoe Tsushima looked at Higashinoji.

A small request?

Higashino straightened his back and said curiously, "Please speak."

What is the requirement?
