Chapter 190 Meeting the Parents
Yuan Zhi's anger comes from his courage.
I asked you to help me take care of my sister. Is this how you take care of me?
He could see clearly from outside, Eryi was pulling Lu Mingfei's clothes, her eyes were filled with tears, she was clearly being bullied.
This kid doesn't know what's wrong. Other little girls are like this, and he still stands up and touches other people's heads!
Isn't this teasing?
Yuan Zhisheng held Eli Yi behind him and looked at Lu Mingfei up and down with angry eyes.
Lu Mingfei's right hand held the black ballpoint pen that Hui Liyi often used.
The cause and effect of the incident were constructed in Yuan Zhisheng's mind.
When Lu Mingfei saw how good-looking Eli Yi was, he became lustful and snatched the pen away from her when she wasn't paying attention.
Eriyi asked him for it, but he refused to give it with a playful smile.
Hence the episode just now.
Yuan Zhisheng really didn't expect that a man who could wield such powerful swordsmanship would be so frivolous!
He almost caused trouble. If it had been just a few seconds at night, the entire mourning hall might have been razed to the ground.
"It's okay. I'll help you teach him a lesson. Calm down, Eliyi, don't be anxious, take a deep breath and relax." Yuan Zhisheng comforted him.
Although he is from the headquarters, this guy is frivolous towards his sister first.
At this time, she couldn't care so much. If Eryi didn't vent her inner anger, no one knew what the consequences would be.
In short, he punched first, and he was very measured in his attack. At most, he gave Lu Mingfei two panda eyes. He might look embarrassed on the outside, but the injuries were minor at most.
However, before he could punch, his wrist was held by a delicate hand.
Eriyi shook her head at Yuan Zhisheng.
Lu Mingfei knew that Yuan Zhisheng had misunderstood. The scene was really like a bad uncle cornering an ignorant girl.
He didn't know where to start, so he stammered out a few words: "Senior, you misunderstood. It's not what you thought."
But Yuan's childish eyes were getting more and more strange. It was okay if he didn't explain, but after explaining, the misunderstanding seemed to have become deeper.
At this time, Inuyama Ga also walked in from the door.
An old monk, holding a cane, crossed the threshold and walked to the door step by step.
"Master Kukai, please take a short rest and prepare for the ceremony." Inuyama said.
The old monk nodded, walked inside under the guidance of the maid, and came to the coffin.
Inuyama Ga looked at Minamoto Chisheng, who was making a lot of noise, with a straight face.
Eriyi bowed deeply, and when Yuan Zhisheng saw that her mood had stabilized, she sighed slightly and also bowed.
"Sorry, Master Inuyama, I was rude." Yuan Zhisheng said apologetically.
After this behavior, Inuyama Ga's score in his heart may have dropped below the passing line.
After the rituals are completed, they will probably discuss the follow-up with him and send the two of them back.
I don't know if there is any chance of recovery.
"Master Minamoto, please sit down for a while. Let's recite sutras for Yuka and Ryo first." Inuyama He's face showed no emotion or anger. He glanced at Eri, who was bowing deeply, walked into the house, and said as the head of the family Name, officiating at the funeral.
Chu Zihang and Caesar also came back.
The atmosphere in the venue was solemn and solemn, everyone was silent and did not dare to whisper.
Master Kukai holds Buddhist beads and stands in front of the coffin, preparing to chant sutras.
Everyone else was asked to sit in their seats, pick up prayer beads, open Buddhist scriptures and mourn together.
Chu Zihang and Caesar sat back down.
Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Lu Mingfei with a frown, and pulled Eryi to sit on the chair three empty seats away from Lu Mingfei.
However, as soon as his butt touched the cold bench, Eriki stood up again, ran to the chair next to Lu Mingfei, and sat down next to him.
He became the only one alone at this round table. The other four were sitting side by side, making him seem to be excluded.
Before he could figure it out, Master Kukai started chanting.
Yuan Zhisheng had no choice but to sit in his original position, holding Buddhist sutras and beads, and started chanting together.
After the chanting, the flute plays mournful music.
Next, family members and friends will place the folded paper cranes and flowers into the coffin.
The maids uncovered the black cloth, revealing the body that had been made up by the mortician. Inuyama Yuka's body had no head, but an old plush dress was placed to cover the area above the neck, which seemed to have been worn by her when she was a child. clothing.
She had her hands folded on her belly and was wearing a white kimono with pale skin and wooden geta and white socks on her feet.
Compared with her, Inuyama Ryo only had a completely closed black box with a black and white photo of him on it, which was quite sad.
Chu Zihang, Caesar, and Lu Mingfei picked up the folded paper cranes and lined up at the back of the team, and Eliyi followed.
Yuan Zhisheng sat where he was. He didn't have an origami crane and couldn't participate in this session.
In the team, Chu Zihang patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and then Lu Mingfei felt something hard stuffed into the palm of his hand.
Picking it up and taking a closer look, it was two iron spoons.
The team moved forward slowly and silently. Hui Liyi followed behind Lu Mingfei, holding a paper crane she had folded by herself.
It's their turn.
Lu Mingfei moved his fingers, and two spoons flew out from the wide sleeves of the kimono, sticking horizontally to the shoulders and soles of the body.
Chu Zihang and Caesar stood in these two positions respectively, blocking their vision completely.
Lu Mingfei and Eryi stood in the center.
Seeing Lu Mingfei knocking down the paper crane, Eriyi slowly leaned down and gently placed the "Eriyi's Bird" on the body's crossed palms.
A few seconds later, Caesar gave Lu Mingfei a look. Lu Mingfei understood, moved his finger again, and the spoon quietly flew back into his sleeve.
The four of them stepped off the stage, and Eri Yi would look back every few steps, as if she was reluctant to leave.
Returning to the table, the four of them sat back down, with Yuan Zhisheng sitting opposite them with a rather subtle expression.
Eriyi took another piece of white paper and folded a paper crane.
But she seemed unable to remember all the steps. After folding until there were star-shaped creases on the paper, she raised her head and looked at Lu Mingfei.
With one look, Lu Mingfei understood what she meant.
It's like the math teacher said: "Who, go over there and get that."
Then the math class representative stood up from his seat with understanding and went to the office to bring a set of papers.
The two played the origami crane game again.
Yuan Zhisheng's eyebrows were about to twist into a knot. He put his hands on the table and looked at Lu Mingfei's face carefully, but he couldn't see any flowers at all.
Is this face handsome?
It's just average, no special features can be seen.
On weekdays, Eryi would pester him when going out to eat, so why didn't she ignore him today?
It shouldn't be
In front of the coffin, the team gradually dispersed.
Everyone has seen the body for the last time.
The coffin was carried away and sent for cremation, accompanied by close relatives and family members. The maids brought individual plates of vegetarian rice and sake for everyone.
Intermittent conversations finally appeared in the venue.
At this time, Eriyi had already folded the second thousand paper cranes.
She named the two paper cranes, one was called "Eriyi's Bird 2" and the other was called "Eriyi's Bird 3".
Two paper cranes were placed on her left and right sides, facing each other.
Yuan Zhisheng finally couldn't help it and sat over.
"What happened just now?" he asked.
"Um, senior Yuan Zhisheng, it's like this." Lu Mingfei raised his hand and said weakly: "I only found out today that your sister and I are Internet friends."
"Netizen?" Yuan Zhisheng raised his eyebrows and asked seriously: "What is your online name?"
"SSakura" Lu Mingfei felt a little guilty after being stared at.
"Are you the Sakura who tells Eriki strange stories and jokes every day?"
"I am"
The two started a question-and-answer mode.
Yuan Zhisheng asked, and Lu Mingfei answered.
"Do you think this is the same as meeting your parents?" Caesar whispered to Chu Zihang.
"A bit." Chu Zihang nodded.
"As expected of the ace of the headquarters, we only went out for a few minutes and we won it." Caesar said, "I am ashamed of myself."
After a conversation, Yuan Zhisheng finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Caesar and Chu Zihang also understood the relationship between Lu Mingfei and the distinguished head of the Uesugi family.
Yuan Zhisheng patted his thigh and sighed.
He looked at the vegetarian meal in front of him, picked up the chopsticks, and took a few big bites of the white rice into his mouth.
Lu Mingfei also held a bowl with some side dishes and gave him a few mouthfuls of rice.
Everyone started eating. It was already noon and they were really hungry.
After the meal, the maid will take away the tableware. After the body is cremated, the last ritual ceremony will be held. Relatives need to return to the venue with photos, tablets and ashes, and recite sutras once.
Everyone present needs to twist the incense. At this point, the entire funeral is considered over.
Inuyama Ga followed him to the crematorium. This time, the two people died under his jurisdiction. As the head of the family, he had to accompany the funeral to the end and personally enshrine the souls in the family shrine.
The Sheqi Eight Family is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years and is very particular about customs and etiquette.
"This is really a trick of fate." Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Eriyi who was having a great time and shook his head.
Lu Mingfei is teaching how to draw pear clothes and fold small stars.
"The head of the Uesugi family and our team leader are really destined to be together." Caesar came over and said.
"I've also played games with this kid." Yuan Zhisheng said, "But I never thought Sakura would be him."
"Is the senior's ID called Tortoise?" Lu Mingfei raised his head and asked.
They were speaking in Chinese, which Eri couldn't understand.
"You have a pretty good memory." Yuan Zhisheng said calmly: "What about the 'Violent bear'? Which one of the three of you is it?"
"That's my roommate. He's in Chicago and hasn't come to Japan." Lu Mingfei said without stopping.
He folded a small star and placed it in the palm of his hand. Eriyi also put the folded one in her hand.
"Master Eliyi, does she have any illness? She seems to know nothing about the outside world and has very little social experience." Lu Mingfei poured the two small stars in his hand into the girl's palm.
The girl smiled brightly, took the note again, and folded off a small star.
"Isn't she the head of the Uesugi family? How come she has no social experience." Caesar also asked.
"This" Minamoto paused for a moment: "Eri is the only one in the Uesugi family, and I am the only one in the Minamoto family."
"Aren't you from three families? How come there is only one?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"I am an orphan. I was adopted with my younger brother when I was a child. It was not until I grew up that I was confirmed to have the blood of the Minamoto family. The same is true for Eri." Minamoto said: "Just like Lonely George, you know the lonely one George?"
"I've heard of it," Chu Zihang said, "The last Pinta Island tortoise in the world. Some people say it is the loneliest creature in the world."
"George has no clansmen, and all his companions are extinct. The same goes for Eriki and I. The Uesugi family and the Minamoto family are both ancient families. Since the Edo period, there have been fewer and fewer clansmen in these two families. At one time, the family The elders thought we were extinct.
But they found my brother and I in the mountains, and found Eri from another place. After confirming our lineage, our seats were restored. So although we are called the head of the family, there is actually only one in the entire family. people. "Yuan Zhisheng said: "It's like Lonely George. "
"But you said you have a younger brother." Caesar then asked: "Isn't the head of the Uesugi family a girl?"
"Eri Yi and I are not biological siblings. As for my brother, he is probably dead."
"I didn't expect that the life experience of senior and Master Eri was so bumpy." Lu Mingfei said with emotion: "In November, Master Eri often told me that her blood was drawn again because of the inheritance of the Uesugi family. Are you sick? Is this disease causing your tribe to become fewer and fewer?"
"Absolutely." Yuan Zhisheng nodded: "I am not sick, but Eri is. She needs to have check-ups and take medicine every week, and she is very sensitive to changes in the external environment. If there is no one she trusts, Accompanying her, she can’t go out at all, that’s why she lacks social experience.”
"Is it a disease brought by dragon blood?" Chu Zihang asked.
"I don't know much about this. Anyway, it's a very troublesome disease." Yuan Zhisheng did not answer directly.
"Then you are here just to attend the funeral today? Isn't it bad to let the patients go out?" Chu Zihang continued to ask.
"No, it's because Eriki wants to go to school recently. Mr. Sakura should know about this." Yuan Zhisheng looked at Lu Mingfei.
"I know." Lu Mingfei replied: "Master told me on QQ before that she wanted to study in school."
"I came here today actually to make it convenient for the head of the Inuyama family. He has a lot of equity in private high schools, but he thinks that Eri is the last member of the Uesugi family and needs to be protected. He gave us a test and asked Eri to Stay at Inuyama’s house for a day, and if Eri doesn’t show any discomfort today, we will pass this proposal and let Eri go to a school under his name.”
"Then the head of the Inuyama family just now" Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that something was wrong with him.
"Maybe the head of the Inuyama family will think it's unacceptable." Gen Zhisheng touched Eri's head.
The girl looked at him, handed over a small star, and smiled lightly.
At Tokyo Airport in Japan, a luxurious Global Express private business jet landed under wind pressure.
The cabin door opened, and a tall woman wearing sunglasses appeared with a child.
"Wow, is this like flying on a plane! It feels so great!"
"Stop making a fuss and go eat first. I'm already hungry."
