Shuchiin Academy, Chairman’s Office.

Shinomiya Huangguang was sitting on the office chair, looking like he was taking care of school affairs seriously.

In fact, as a prestigious school inherited from the shogunate period, Shuchiin Academy has a very complete management system. Not only are there dedicated principals for the elementary school, junior high school, high school and university, but there are also corresponding boards of directors and other management The organization usually does not have so many affairs that require him, the chairman, to handle it personally.

Not to mention that as Shinomiya Yanan’s physical condition deteriorated, Shinomiya Huangguang almost became the actual leader of the Shinomiya Group, and there was no need to deign to come here to handle school affairs.

But that’s not how the accounts work out.

Shuchiin Academy was founded in the past as an institution to educate nobles and samurai families. Even now that the aristocracy has been abolished, it is still the top private aristocratic school in Japan. Most of the students in the school are either rich or noble, and have excellent academic performance. Generally excellent, with a deviation value of 77 in the high school section.

It can be said that students who graduate from Shuchiin Academy, even mixed-school students from ordinary families, will inevitably become elite leaders in various industries in Japan in the future.

(PS: The actual prototype of Shuchiin Academy is Gakushuin. During the old Japanese Empire, it recruited royals and Chinese people based on their family background, specializing in cultivating ruling talents. It is still the top private aristocratic school in Japan, and Japan’s political, Many elites in business, law, and literature came from Gakushuin University, such as Taro Aso, Hayao Miyazaki, etc.)

In the eyes of ordinary people, Shuchiin Academy is just a prestigious school with a long history. However, in the eyes of the powerful, this is not just a school, but a network of relationships spanning all walks of life in Japan!

The students inside are Japan’s future ruling class.

Therefore, when the Shinomiya Foundation became prosperous, they did not hesitate to spend their money to gain control of Shuchiin Academy in order to control this terrorist network covering the entire Japan and further strengthen Shinomiya through Shuchiin Academy. The influence of the consortium!

After taking control of Shuchiin Academy, Shinomiya Enan even appointed his eldest son Shinomiya Huangguang as the chairman of the school, and let his children Shinomiya Kumoya and Shinomiya Kaguya enter school one after another to show their The Shinomiya Foundation attaches great importance to and supports Shuchiin Academy.

It is also because of this that although Shinomiya Huangguang has almost become the actual leader of the Shinomiya Group, he still takes two days a week to come to the school to understand the development of the school and at the same time pretend to handle school affairs.

Naturally, Sigong Huangguang will also use this opportunity to win over the talents he likes and admires in order to expand his power.

But this time, he fell in love with Higashino Makoto

……

“Boom, boom, boom.”

Higashino Makoto knocked on the door of the chairman’s office. After getting permission, he opened the door and walked in.

The first thing that caught his eye was a big bald head.

Unlike Shinomiya Kaguya who was still in high school, as Shinomiya Anan The eldest son, Shinomiya Huangguang, is fifty years old this year. He has an old face with a big bald head, like an old monk who has shaved his head to become a monk. He is wearing a simple-looking but exquisitely made kimono. This also demonstrates his conservative character.

In fact, as a person who was born in the Showa era and grew up under the patriarchal system, Shinomiya Huangguang can indeed be called a feudal stubborn, with extremely feudal and conservative thoughts, so much so that Shinomiya was Kaguya ridiculed him as ‘a feudal remnant of the Showa era’.

But on the other hand, precisely because of his feudal and conservative thinking, he also inherited the ideas of the past Showa era and had great respect for cultural people.

So when Higashino Makoto walked in, he saw Sigong Huangguang suddenly showed a warm smile and said:

“See you again, Mr. Higashino”

“Good morning, Mr. Chairman.”

Higashino Makoto and Shinomiya Huangguang naturally know each other.

As the eldest son of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Huangguang often holds social banquets. He also respects and admires cultural people, and Higashino Makoto was a nationally famous genius before. The child prodigy writer also had business cooperation with the Shinomiya Foundation, so he was naturally invited to the banquet by Shinomiya Huangguang, and they became acquaintances.

Then he saw Shinomiya Huangguang and laughed and said:

“Haha~~Don’t be so outspoken, Mr. Higashino. Since you are my roommate’s classmate and friend, you can just call me brother.”

“In this case…Brother Huang Guang?”

“…Eh~~”

Higashino Makoto was obedient and called Shinomiya Huangguang by his first name. This familiar behavior made Shinomiya Huangguang unable to deal with it.

However, it can be said that he has been trained by Shinomiya Yanan for so many years. Needless to say, Shinomiya Huangguang’s ability and character soon took advantage of the situation and showed a more intimate attitude. He asked Higashino Makoto to sit down on the sofa in the office. Had tea.

After a classic Japanese tea ceremony performance, Shinomiya Huangguang poured a cup of hot tea for Higashino Makoto

“Wuyi rock tea from China is the best oolong tea. Teacher Higashino was also invited to taste it.”

“Then I would be disrespectful.”

Higashino Makoto respectfully picked up the tea cup and took a sip first. The fragrant orchid-like aroma was refreshing. Then he took a sip of tea. The long aroma was mixed with refreshing bitterness, which was endless aftertaste.

“good tea~~”

“The tea has a rich, leisurely and elegant aroma, leaving a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth after drinking, which is evocative.”

After that, Higashino Makoto recited a poem and said lyrically:

“Sit and drink the cool water, watch the dust frying”

“Wuyou holds a bowl and sends it to tea lovers.”

Such a pretentious young man’s behavior is exactly what Shinomiya Huangguang likes.

At that moment, he poured another cup of tea for Higashino Makoto, and then laughed and said:

“Is this”Shanquan Sencha You Huai” written by Bai Letenjin? Mr. Higashino is so poetic.~~”

Bai Letian God is Bai Juyi, a poet from the Tang Dynasty.

Bai Juyi is the most popular Chinese poet in Japan for more than a thousand years.

His 70-volume”Collected Works of Bai” is called”full of gold” by Japanese sinologists and has been sought after for thousands of years.

“Song of Everlasting Sorrow” also directly influenced Japanese women.

The writer Murasaki Shikibu wrote”The Tale of Genji”, so that Bai Juyi was called the”benefactor of literature” by the Japanese.

The Japanese who fanatically admired Bai Juyi even worshiped him as Manjushri Bodhisattva and established Bailetian Shrine to worship him.

So when Higashino Cheng recited the ancient poems written by Bai Juyi, Sigong Huangguang suddenly became even more happy, and now the scholars started talking about it

“Speaking of which, Bai Letian is a poet from the Tang Dynasty in China, and the Japanese tea ceremony originated from the tea ceremony in the Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Yuanmei sent Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty to bathe in the Tang Dynasty and learn about the Tang Dynasty culture, and brought back tea from the Tang Dynasty.

Later, the eminent monk Saicho who returned from studying abroad in the Tang Dynasty brought back tea seeds and planted them next to Hiyoshi Shrine, becoming the oldest tea garden in Japan….

As he spoke, Shinomiya Huangguang showed a sigh of relief. He seemed to have returned to the Nara era in a trance. In order to receive the baptism of civilization, the ancient Japanese people who had just emerged from barbarism spared no effort to cross the sea by boat and go to the great island on the other side of the sea. The Tang Empire studied and eventually brought back various advanced cultures, allowing Japan to gradually embark on the road to civilization.

However, Huang Guang, the Shinomiya who was enjoying the tea, was lamenting, but Higashino Makoto had no sympathy.

After all, he is a traveler from China and is not very interested in Japanese history.

However, in order to cater to the arty Huang Guang of the fourth house, he had no choice but to continue the topic and said:

“Although it originated from the tea ceremony of the Tang Dynasty, the modern Japanese tea ceremony was more influenced by the tea ceremony of the Song Dynasty, and thus blazed its own path.”

“yes~~”

Hearing Higashino Makoto’s words, Shinomiya Huangguang smiled and nodded, then suddenly changed the subject and said meaningfully to Higashino Makoto:

“Although the Japanese tea ceremony originated from the tea ceremony of the Tang and Song Dynasties in China, with the development of hundreds of years, it has finally found its own path.”

“I just don’t know if Mr. Higashino and his roommate Kaguya can also find their own path like this Japanese tea ceremony?”

PS: Emperor Genmei, the fourth female emperor of Japan, started the Nara era of Japan. She reigned for seven years and achieved many achievements. She was a relatively accomplished female ruler.
