I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 216 Dong Yejun, Not Bad
The box was not small. Nobuyoshi Jinguji opened it like a drawer. Inside were several scrolls, a few keys and a very thick white envelope.

Xiuji stretched his neck to take a look. He couldn't see anything from this angle, but he could smell the scent of money, a lot of money!

You are worthy of being my lord. If things continue like this, it won’t be long before the Tono Shogunate will be able to rule the world!

Thinking of this, Xiujina's small black eyes suddenly sparkled, and she shook her wings, a little excited.

But then he noticed the two little girls who were about to do something rude just now, and found that they were secretly looking at him. The pair of bird eyes that showed signs of intelligent life suddenly degenerated into the dull look of a stupid bird, and he squatted obediently beside Dong Ye Yu.

If I bring shame to my lord, I will probably have to commit suicide to repay the emperor's kindness. Xiuji considered himself a veteran of the Tono shogunate and attached great importance to etiquette.

Nobuyoshi Jinguji pushed the box towards Higashino Yu.

"Higashino-kun's shikigami saved Kagami Hiiragi, Kaori, and Shiori from danger many times in Momogo. My brother and sister-in-law were also saved by Higashino-kun. The whole Jinguji family is grateful for this. I came here with my wife and children this time to thank Higashino-kun."

"I heard from Hiiragi Jing that Higano-kun was interested in magic, so I discussed it with the elders in my family and selected these magic copies to give to Higano-kun. They can be used as family heirlooms in the Higano family in the future."

"If Dong Ye-kun wants to learn other magic, he can also come to Jinguji's house. There are instructors who will teach him personally, but those magic cannot be passed on to others."

Jinguji Nobuyoshi said this with an embarrassed look on his face: "Some of the secret techniques passed down in our family are the foundation of our lives. I hope that Dongye-kun can understand."

Dong Ye Yu himself also has his own Taoist skills that cannot be passed on to others, so he naturally understands that it is very generous of others to agree to let him learn the secret skills casually. One should not be greedy.

So he nodded: "This is as it should be."

Not greedy, very good. Jinguji Nobuyoshi smiled, then looked at the other items in the box.

"Mr. Higashino has come all the way from Kyoto to study in Tokyo. He should have understood that it is not easy to live in Tokyo. Mr. Higashino is a potential dragon, but the day of his rise is still a little far away. There is an old saying in China that a penny can make a hero fail. A hero like Mr. Higashino should not be bound by money. My family owns an apartment, a single-family house, and some houses in the suburbs, which can help Mr. Higashino study in Tokyo."

"Here is the key. The address of the house is written on it. You can move directly to the house you choose and stay there as long as you want."

"Finally, it's some money. It's not much, but just a token of my appreciation." He pushed the box towards Dong Yeyu and bowed deeply: "Please accept this humble gift of thanks."

Jinguji Akiko, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, as well as Kaori and Shiori, who were sitting behind him, also followed him and bowed.

Bro, is this shabby?
Dong Yeyu swallowed his saliva and his eyes fell on the stack of money. The thickness of it should be at least one million, right?

"How can I say this? We are all classmates. It is my duty to help a classmate who is in trouble. You are so polite, senior."

He clearly wanted it, but insisted on refusing. This guy must have been with those extremely pedantic and old-fashioned people in Kyoto for too long and was infected with the hypocrisy of Kansai.

Jinguji Nobuyoshi snorted in his heart, but his expression was still sincere: "Please accept it, Higashino-kun!"

Dong Ye Yu was naturally just being polite. After hearing what he said, his hand immediately touched the box and a cheerful smile appeared on his lips.

"I dare not refuse the gift from the elders. I accept your kindness."

Seeing him accept it, Jinguji Nobuyoshi said, "Thank you again for saving my life, Higashino-kun. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask. My Jinguji family still has some prestige in the Kanto area."

After saying this, he stood up.

Dong Yeyu politely replied: "I've made a note of this. If I have any difficulties, I will definitely visit you."

After finishing his business, Jinguji Nobuyoshi chatted with Higashino Yu for a while and then prepared to say goodbye and leave. Just as he was about to stand up, he was poked by his wife beside him.

I turned around and found her kneeling behind me, looking at me with a gentle smile.

Jinguji Nobuyoshi then showed an expression as if he suddenly remembered something, pondered for two seconds, and felt a little embarrassed.

After all, I had just met Dongye-kun, so it was not appropriate to ask any overly presumptuous questions.

He thought for a moment, and then said with emotion as if he was chatting casually: "With a rare talent like Higashino-kun inheriting the Iori family, I believe that the Iori couple can rest in peace in the underworld."

Higashino Yu smiled and explained: "You misunderstood, I have no intention of inheriting the Iori family."

Jinguji Nobuyoshi asked curiously, "But I heard from Kagami Hiiragi that Higashino-kun even inherited the famous sword of the Iori family, right?"

"Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu?" Higashino Yu shook his head: "Grandpa Iori gave it to me because he was worried that I would not have a weapon to fight monsters outside."

"I see."

This is a smart move to retreat as far as possible. Although Jinguji Nobuyoshi has never met the Iori priest, he can already imagine how cunning he is.

Young and promising prodigies like Higashino Yu have always been arrogant, and tempting them to marry into the family with inheritance, famous swords, etc. may backfire.

This kind of giving without asking for anything in return is the wisest thing to do. Even if he is unable to marry into the family in the end, he will still remember the favor.

Of course, this method is only useful for those who know how to repay kindness. If you meet an ungrateful person, it will be like throwing a meat bun at a dog.

He sighed in his heart, looked at his wife, said nothing more, glanced at his watch, and showed an apologetic expression to Dong Yeyu.

"It's getting late, and I have many things to deal with at home. I'll take my leave now and visit you again another day."

Seeing this, Xiuji didn't bother to see how much money was in the box, and quickly fell on the tatami: "Farewell, gentlemen."

"I'll see you off." Higashino Yu sent a few people downstairs. Kaori and Shiori, who had pretended to be noble ladies from the aristocratic family for a while, became anxious when they saw that they were about to go back.

On the way, the two tried several times to find an opportunity to get close to Higashino Yu and say something to him, but were stopped by Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami with a cold face, grabbing their collars.

When he arrived at the car, he directly drove Kaori and Shiori into the car like sheep, looked back at Higashino Yu, nodded to him, and sat in the back seat.

After greeting and saying goodbye to Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's parents, Higashino Yu was about to see them off when he saw Kaori Shiori lying on the inside of the car window with her little face pressed against the glass. Two pairs of eyes were staring at him, as desperate as a lamb about to be led to slaughter.

After hesitating for two seconds, he still couldn't bear it, so he walked up and knocked on the car window: "You two, something has been wrong just now, is there something wrong?"

Kaori and Shiori, who were sitting in the car, looked back at the same time. Seeing that Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami ignored them, they showed expressions as if they were saved, and quickly opened the car window, poked their little heads out of the window and spoke in unison.

"Tono Nissan, we have encountered many difficult problems in our practice. Can you come to our house more often?"

Want to ask questions about cultivation? Dong Yeyu was a little surprised: "Doesn't the Jinguji family have a teacher?"

Shiori complained, "Grandma Tamae doesn't speak well, we can't understand her."

"Your cousin doesn't know either?"

Kaori leaned out of the car window a little and whispered in a soft, sweet voice, "Cousin always beats us. We want the gentle Higashino Nissan teaching."

Dong Ye Yu looked at the two of them suspiciously. These two little guys were never honest, so there might be a trap.

After thinking about it, he neither refused nor agreed: "Let's talk about it when we have time."

"Tono Nissan, please!"

"Tono Nissan, please!"

Kaori Shiori requested, but Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami in the car ignored them and called to the driver softly, "Drive."

Hearing this, Kaori Shiori looked at Higashino Yu with misty eyes, as if she was about to cry: "Higashino Nissan."

The car started and quickly drove away, but the two of them still stretched their little heads to look at Dong Ye Yu.

In the car, Jinguji Xizi looked at her husband and asked, "Ayi, what do you think of Dongye-kun?"

"Well, not bad." Jinguji Nobuyoshi said casually.

Jinguji Xizi frowned her gentle willow-shaped eyebrows, "Just not bad?"

"My previous impression of him was mostly from what I heard from Kaori, Shiori, and Kagami Hiiragi. Higashino-kun is handsome and tall, and he saved them, so he might be biased because of his affection for them. I don't believe it."

At this point, he shook his head and said, "From what we've seen just now, I think he's a bit glib and doesn't seem very reliable. He doesn't have the down-to-earth vibe that I do."

"Down to earth? You?"

Jinguji Xizi sneered, "You haven't forgotten how shamelessly you pursued me in college, have you?"

"That's called being brave and resourceful. How can there be a gentleman who is humble and yielding when it comes to important matters in life?"

Jinguji Xinyi's expression was serious: "Not to mention that with a beauty like Xizi who is as beautiful as the goddess of Luo River, who can keep calm?"

"You haven't read Luoshenfu, have you?"

"Do we still need to study the scriptures and classics in an emergency?"

Jinguji Xizi curled the corner of her mouth, did not comment, and frowned.

"But I think Higashino-kun is pretty good. He has a lively personality and a quick mind, which complements Hiiragi Jing's personality perfectly. That girl is like a piece of wood, with a cold personality. I don't know who she is like. Don't delay Hiiragi Jing's lifelong event."

"Alas, Xizi, you are blinded by one thing, let me put it this way." Jinguji Nobuyoshi analyzed everything with his wife.

"When in Taoxiang, Higashino-kun's performance can be considered excellent. He is smart, has good character, and is also blessed enough - after all, he was able to survive in such a disaster without his shikigami."

"But what if we leave the white fox behind?"

"He's a complete one-stroke champion. He insisted on telling people what he did in Taoxiang. It seems that apart from sending out the Shikigami White Fox to help in the battle and finding Hishizawa Shrine to rescue Nobuaki and the others, he didn't do anything."

"Of course, he's not just like everyone else. But in the end, it seems like he relies too much on the white fox shikigami, and he's not so good that people would be shocked and give up everything to make friends with him."

"And the Iori family has already taken action."

"Didn't Dong Ye-kun say it was just a gift?"

"But from the outside, that's the betrothal gift. She's already accepted it. If my Jinguji family intervenes, people will say we're bullying a small family."

Jinguji Nobuyoshi said this and shook his head: "And is the daughter of my Jinguji family going to pay for it?"
