SUNNY Group George Furniture has Chinese descent.

The youngest son, Hua Shiyu, grew up in a caring environment, like a "princess" in a boudoir.

Under the order of his grandfather, in order to save the management crisis of the fixed-dining room for the descendants of his ancestors and masters, Hua Shiyu lived in the fixed-dining room in the market to help.

However, he is a "princess" after all, so he always ends up failing in unfamiliar jobs, and even falls in love with the young master Shangyue Yixin...

This is Hua Shiyu's first love, but there is someone (and a man) who he secretly longs for?

The soft chirping of birds made George Flower Shigure look up from the book he was buried in reading.

Birds perched on the lilacs that grew to the window-sills.He closed his eyes and enjoyed the birdsong like a lyrical soprano. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Sorry to bother you. Master Hua Shiyu, Mr. Tai please go over."

"Grandpa? I see."

Hua Shiyu nodded in agreement, and the maid in a classic dark blue one-piece dress bowed and left the room.Hua Shiyu put the bookmark into the book in his hand, stood up, and looked at the antique wall mirror.

Crescent-like eyebrows, big black eyes slightly raised at the corners of the eyes, and thin lips that seem to be less talkative are smiling slightly.The lifeless beauty of a doll immediately transformed into a calm and amiable impression.After confirming that the clothes and grooming were not messy, Hua Shiyu left her room.I don't care at all that it has been 5 minutes since just now.He was unhurried, walking slowly and gracefully.

Hua Shiyu is the third son of George's family of Chinese descent.His father is the president of SUNNY Group, which spans banking, real estate, and heavy industrial products, and his grandfather is the chairman.

Living in a well-protected environment, loved by two older brothers who are very different in age, his mother wanted to have a daughter and raised him as a princess. As a result, Hua Shiyu has a rather unearthly temperament.

He walked slowly down the spiral staircase while enjoying the colorful light streaming down from the stained glass near the ceiling.From the east wing of the main building with a forest-like garden, slowly and calmly walk through the veranda integrated with the atrium, and step into the annex building where my grandfather lived-the Namba building full of Shoin-zukuri (Note 1) residential style.Even the relaxed abode hates fancy names, like a tough grandfather would do.

"Grandpa, I'm Hua Shiyu, excuse me."

After Hua Shiyu greeted him from the sliding door, he entered the room.

Walking up to the front of the grandfather on his knees, silence enveloped the two of them.It is my grandfather's habit not to get to the point immediately, but to deliberately delay and increase the tension.

"Flower time rain."

Grandfather solemnly called his name.

"From today onwards, you are going to serve last month's family."

"...?"

Adding water (Note 2) in the garden makes an elegant sound of "dong".

"Did you say 'serve'?"

Hua Shiyu asked while paying attention to avoid wording similar to objection, and his grandfather nodded.

"As you know, since the Edo period, our Saji family has recognized the feudal lord of the Chinese region (Note 3)—the last month family as the master. During the Meiji Restoration, we traveled all the way to Kyoto with the young master——"

Grandfather's specialty - talking about ancient times has begun again.Hua Shiyu has listened to his grandfather's narration repeatedly since he was a child, and as a result, it can be said that he has even memorized the subsequent development of the story silently.

Beginning in the Edo period, during the Meiji Restoration, the Saji family traveled around with their master, the Yuezuki family, and was responsible for dispatching funds from the Qinhuang faction (Note 4).After the Restoration, last month's family was determined to have made meritorious service, and they were granted the title of Viscount; the George family was also awarded the title of Baron, one level below the master.

The Gongjia Chinese from the orthodox Gongqing family laughed at these emerging Chinese as upstarts who couldn't even sing a song. However, Baron George Doron, who witnessed the changes of the times up close, was very bold.Because when the Chinese government with high self-esteem but no knowledge of the world was in debt, he smelled a business opportunity and joined the financial world.

Although some people secretly ridiculed the lackeys of low-level samurai for always disregarding their image, the Baron, with a look of letting others go, also dabbled in the real estate industry with great success.

But on the other hand, the master last month's family went into decline.When the baron found out, it was too late. Last month, the family returned the viscount title on the grounds of financial poverty.

"The baron felt that he was not loyal enough, so he suffered the pain of heartbreak. Until the end of his life at the age of 78, he kept looking for the whereabouts of the last month's family."

...period, end.Looking at the grandfather who closed his eyes with emotion in front of him, Hua Shiyu thought of his father's words.

"Dad really likes period dramas. 』

On festivals such as the first lunar month and the Double Ninth Festival, it has become customary for Grandpa to tell the ancients, and my father often sighs secretly.My father is currently living a busy life traveling back and forth between Japan and overseas, and only comes home occasionally.Of course, overseas social occasions are based on couples, so mothers also go with them.

"Because of this reason, the generations of the Saji family have inherited the behest and wished to find the whereabouts of the descendants of the last Yue family. You should also know about this matter, right?"

"Yes, I know."

"After such a long time, I almost gave up. But maybe it was the baron's guidance. I finally found out the day before yesterday that the No. 11 generation head of the last month family, the last direct male, last month Yixin, has disappeared."

"Oh, this is really, something worth celebrating."

Hua Shiyu was extremely surprised, but at the same time he lowered his head with a smile on his face.

"It's not something to celebrate."

But the grandfather said with a bitter expression, Hua Shiyu tilted his head in confusion.Last month's No. 11 generation head of the family, last month Yixin is now 26 years old, after the parents of the previous generation passed away due to a traffic accident, he inherited the fixed-dining house in his hometown at the age of only 20.However, given the current situation, it seems that it is very difficult to operate a small restaurant in a town.Grandfather lightly pressed the sleeve of Haori (Note 5) to his nose.

"If we could find it sooner, we wouldn't have to make the young master so hard... Our George family, no matter in the past or in the future, must support the Shangyue family."

Grandfather's determination was natural.Hua Shiyu also nodded vigorously.

However, things are not as smooth as my grandfather imagined.Although the grandfather visited last month's house, hoping that the George family could do something about it, the other party looked at the grandfather suspiciously, with a look of "I don't know what you are talking about".However, the grandfather was deeply introspective, thinking that it was all due to the disappointment of the George family.

"I've already realized that I've been reprimanded, and I visit the last month's house every day. I bring the saber with the last month's family crest that I was rewarded with in the past, which shows that this is the evidence of the master-slave relationship between our two families. However, the young master is still categorical I refused, saying that I can't accept a large amount of aid because of such a long-term relationship. What a noble heart. Although I am in front of the young master, I can't live up to my tears..."

Probably thinking of the situation at that time, my grandfather couldn't help crying.

But now is not the time for leisurely admiration.Afterwards, the grandfather visited several times, but was repeatedly rejected. If this continues, he may only be insulting the master. As a subordinate, this situation should be avoided.The grandfather came up with an idea, since the young master refused to accept the financial assistance from the George family, then let the same No.11 generation head of the George family serve the young master himself.

"Huh? Brother Daozhong?"

Hua Shiyu blinked his eyes.The eldest brother who is scheduled to succeed the No. 11 head of the George family, now holds a central position in the Sunny Group, can he do a good job in both serving the master and working in the company?After Hua Shiyu implicitly asked about this matter, the corners of his grandfather's mouth curved downward into a ㄟ shape.

"Daozhong doesn't know what loyalty is at all. He said 'I'm busy, don't call me over for this stupid thing', and went back angrily."

"..."

The refilling of the garden made an elegant sound again.

From this point of view, the second brother Daozhi, who is also busy with work, should also refuse.Hua Shiyu didn't know whether to comfort or encourage him. Just as he was hesitating what to say, his grandfather sighed: "What a pity..." Hua Shiyu raised his head and met his grandfather who was looking at him.

"It's a pity that you are so beautiful to be a man. Although it is useless to say this now, but if Hua Shiyu is a girl, I will definitely ask the young master to marry you without saying a word."

After the grandfather muttered for a while, he immediately turned 180 degrees and raised his head.

"So, Hua Shiyu, I hope that you will apply for a leave of absence from the university starting tomorrow, live in the "Last Month Food Room" run by the young master, and serve the young master."

Hua Shiyu opened his eyes wide.Although judging from the development of the conversation, he had already guessed that this would happen, but he didn't expect to have to suspend school.In this case, he may have to repeat the grade.As a student, reading is his duty, and this result really embarrassed him.Although he is willing to serve the young master, at least he can continue to study, right?The moment Hua Shiyu wanted to ask -

"This is the last wish of the dead baron, you are not allowed to refuse!"

Grandpa slapped the armrest with his closed fan.

As expected of the former head of the George family and the current chairman of the SUNNY Group, this move is quite bold, and it seems difficult to raise objections.Although Hua Shiyu wanted to discuss it with his father, but he was too busy to disturb him.After thinking for a while, Hua Shiyu lowered his head obediently.

"I see, I will do as you say."

Even if you repeat a grade, you won't die.Just think of it as a valuable experience.

——However, what exactly does serving do?

Hua Shiyu, who grew up in a well-protected environment, didn't understand at all, but perhaps it was due to his natural aristocratic elegance. He thought that the boat would be straight when he reached the bridge, and left the Namba Pavilion optimistically.
