In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

But when I think about how so many people are just borrowing high-interest loans and still have to pay interest, and yet they all call me "Papa Ma", I feel a lot more comfortable when I think about how at least I don't have to be exploited and I'm even getting benefits.

As long as you can make money, there is no shame in eating shit!

What’s the point of calling someone dad!

In the past, if someone gave me 100 yuan and asked me to call him daddy, I would call him daddy until he went bankrupt!

"Your Highness, you are back!"

"..."

Chapter 248 The Collapse Begins

A large complex of buildings is right in front of us.

It is large in scale, simple in color, neat but not dull, gorgeous but not delicate, relaxed but not ostentatious, simple but full of vitality.

The upper and lower eaves are all covered with green tiles, matched with huge brackets, and the two ends of the roof ridge are thick, crescent-shaped gargoyles. The overall architectural momentum looks extremely extraordinary.

The huge size of the bracket sets and their outward extension reveal a majestic aura, creating a solemn and profound angular beauty.

The high eaves give people a sense of vitality and power, highlighting the calmness and grandeur while highlighting the dynamic factors in the building.

The entire building complex is connected together. Looking around, the angular roofs and walls, and the style with ridges and beams make people feel very pleasing to the eye and simple and elegant.

It is the Tang Dynasty wooden architectural style common in Japan.

Most of the single-family houses that you can see commonly are mini versions of this style.

However, the house in front of us covers a vast area, and the courtyard wall has mottled traces of time. The main courtyard is so large that it is not comparable to an ordinary single-family house.

Under the eaves of the gate.

There are two huge lanterns hanging.

Two lush green pine and cypress trees represent longevity, happiness, and exorcism.

Nao Nagano stopped here for a moment, looking at the rockery courtyard, pavilions and withered flowers inside. He felt a sense of absurdity as if he was standing at the doorstep of a Tang Dynasty official's house.

The butler greeted him and waited respectfully on the side.

Nagano Nao adjusted his clothes and sighed inwardly before stepping into the courtyard.

The entire mansion is a samurai residence of the Edo-era noble master Pan, built in the style of Shoin-zukuri. It is composed of several buildings, with the main house as the main building. The interior of the building is covered with tatami mats on the floor, the ceiling is paneled, and the rooms are separated by paper sliding doors and sliding windows for lighting.

The public areas for entertaining guests are completely separated from the internal areas for daily life, and the Nakamura family's residence is very large and is even arranged in separate buildings.

The public place is the gathering center for the family. Passing through the eaves facing the garden planted with flowers and trees, you will arrive at the main hall with the highest eaves.

Your Highness, this thing means how many palaces you can inherit after settling into the clan.

Nagano Nao had no idea how many times he had complained behind the scenes about the feudal dregs that existed in this world's largest economy.

Ordinary people are fine.

There won't be any obvious or oppressive differences in rank.

However, the hierarchy within each of the major Chinese clans is strict, and a royal heir represents supreme authority, which is no different from living in ancient times.

Along the way, there were many women in kimonos preparing for the evening family dinner.

After the old housekeeper introduced them, the woman hurriedly bowed and greeted them. For a modern person, her humble attitude gave her a taste of what a feudal cancer is.

It feels great, of course it feels great.

But after having fun, you have to pretend to be a son.

Arriving at the main room, Nagano Nao straightened his clothes again, then stopped outside the threshold and knelt down.

The main interior is large.

It is about forty meters square.

The front wall is divided into two niches. On one side is a niche with several scrolls hanging on the wall, and on the other side is a sandalwood treasure rack with many antiques on it.

Attached to the academy, facing the window, there are piles of books from various periods stacked on wooden shelves.

Nakamura was kneeling on the ground, burning incense and praying to God. He looked extremely respectful and pious, and there was a sense of solemnity.

However, when Nagano Nao looked at the statue enshrined there, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily and he inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Buddhism is very prosperous in Japan, and Nakamura Masa is a believer in Buddhism. However, the Buddha he was kneeling in was not Tathagata, but a portrait in a very Tang Dynasty style.

Bodhisattva——Yang Guifei!

As a fake Japanese soldier, I really felt ridiculous when seeing this scene.

"Nao is back! Come and burn some incense for the Buddha." After the ceremony, Nakamura Masaru casually greeted Nagano Nao.

Suddenly, the urge to laugh disappeared.

The Tang Dynasty is our ancestor, and we won’t suffer any loss by bowing to it.

With this thought in mind, Nagano Nao stood up obediently, walked into the main room, lit incense, and kowtowed several times obediently.

The collateral descendants around him were secretly jealous.

This bow would mean that the position of heir was completely secured.

Knowing that he would have to cling to this big brother in the future, when the ceremony of Nagano Nao was over, many people greeted him, and Nagano Nao responded one by one, and finally his eyes stopped on the nominal big brother Kenta Nakamura.

"Ouni, Azhi wishes you a happy new year in advance!"

"Thank you! It's been a while since we last met. How have you been?"

"Just so-so!"

"..."

There was no tension.

Although there were some personal grudges in the past, this is the family system. Now everyone has their own responsibilities, and they still need to cooperate and make use of each other in the future.

After chatting casually about life, Nakamura Masaru presided over the family dinner, where everyone was seated one by one according to their status.

The entire family dinner was no different from the dinners between the emperor and his ministers in the Tang Dynasty.

Each person has a table and sits at a different seat.

Highest position.

Naturally, it is the head of the family, Nakamura Masaru.

Following them are the contemporary mainstays such as Fumio Nakamura, Mitsuo Nakamura, and Asaichirō Nakamura.

The next naturally come the heirs headed by Kenta Nakamura and Naoio Nakamura. After them are the young leaders of the Nakamura family in various industries.

Although these people are older, they have to take inferior positions in front of the two heirs.

They toasted each other and exchanged cups.

The atmosphere is getting more intense.

They chatted about trivial matters in life and pressure at work, and then praised each other's business and had three rounds of drinks.

The servant brought the soba noodles.

After eating the rice cake, they would stay up all night together waiting for the New Year’s bell.

Nakamura retired early because of his old age.

Nagano Nao greeted the middle-aged and young generation and then got together with the younger generation.

Seriously speaking, the atmosphere of the New Year in Japan is very strong, and people care a lot about this special day. In particular, the children who were not allowed to sit at the table came around one after another, and there were happy laughter everywhere.

"Unnie, don't you have a girlfriend yet? The girl you were with last time was pretty good!"

"You mean Lixiang? But it's embarrassing to confess. What if I get rejected?"

"While you are still hesitating, others may have already come and gone freely. Why not find time to meet up? You can save paper and she can save fingers too."

"Nani?"

No one present could react when they heard such words.

Nagano Nao had a lewd smile on his face, but he said nothing.

Human expressions can sometimes express more clearly than words. Such a vulgar smile immediately gives people more associations.

It’s like I heard some divine book!

He looked confused for a moment, then gradually opened his eyes wide.

Someone slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "So that's it! Straight man, you are really excellent."

"Oh! Why didn't I think of that!"

"Shikoku-yi! Can it be explained this way?"

"It's been a long time since we last met. I'm impressed by you, a straight man, for saying something like this."

"So Xiaoye, please work hard, otherwise it will be too late for the tree-lined path you long for to be covered with white frost every morning and evening."

"..."

Witty words.

The group of people immediately looked at Nagano Nao with new eyes.

After the children were driven away, bursts of obscene laughter were heard.

unconsciously.

The bell rang 108 times.

The little brat who had gone away and returned was like a praying mantis, kowtowing to everyone he saw, and all the red envelopes prepared by Nagano Nao were snatched away.

Fortunately.

It’s not a loss.

I wished the elders a happy new year and received another 10 million in red envelopes.

It's bright.

The annual family dinner has come to an end.
