Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 345

There wasn't much for anyone in the sleeping quarters to do.

Komachi too.

She was thinking of serving Kousaka Kyosuke, or some other lady.

But no matter who it is, there's no need to serve them anymore.

Like Kousaka Kyosuke?

Once you help him with his clothes and appearance, there's almost nothing else you need to do.

Or what about the other ladies?

Even Fuji Shikibu, who used to love wearing elaborate and diverse clothing, is now able to easily get things done.

Komachi has been discovered.

As long as the ladies don't wear very heavy clothes, everyone can move around easily.

She or anyone else doesn't need to serve her at all.

I don't know when it happened, but everyone changed into light, single-layer clothing with an outer garment.

Or perhaps she is wearing a simple evening gown or skirt.

Komachi finds it very interesting just to see everyone's outfits every day~

She is also studying.

"...Go see your mother."

After thinking for a while, Komachi decided to visit her mother.

My mother would also handle some chores at the mansion, but most of the time she seemed to be chatting with a few of the aunties.

Komachi thought it was a bit boring and that she should spend more time with her mother.

She heard that many people were introducing concubines to her father.

It's impossible for my mother not to be angry.

But lately, Komachi hasn't seen her mother get angry, and she's even been much gentler with her father than before.

It seems that Father must have done a great job!

Speaking of which, the other uncles were also frequently introduced to concubines.

But my father still has relatively few matchmakers around him.

Komachi was initially curious, and even started thinking about it when she was bored.

Xiangzi seemed to have noticed the situation and gently inquired. Komachi hesitated for a moment before telling her.

The response she received surprised her a little.

"Because your father already has an heir, even if other concubines give birth to sons for your father, they will only be second sons."

"Once an outstanding eldest son emerges, the practice of deposing the eldest son in favor of a younger one will almost never occur."

"But you know, your brother is clearly more outstanding. Do you know what that means?"

"Perhaps those who think more deeply will consider the matter of dividing the family property, so your father is still very attractive~"

I heard the explanation then.

Komachi wasn't surprised by the overly realistic content.

Even after suddenly discovering that "her brother is more outstanding than her father," she still didn't fully realize it?

Komachi has to apologize to her brother!

Ah, apologizing because I'm embarrassed should really touch my brother's heart.

This will allow Komachi to gain a lot of points.

I'm just hesitant about whether my brother's score needs to be increased further.

It would be better to add the husband's score right now, wouldn't it?

Thinking while walking.

Komachi went to the East House.

I didn't run into my mother, but I ran into my father first.

"dad?"

"Ah, Komachi!" Hiroto exclaimed excitedly.

He was also thinking about whether he could find an opportunity to see his daughter.

After all, my daughter doesn't go out at night.

He went to work during the day.

It wasn't the government office that forced him to go every day.

The two liters of millet for daily attendance tracking were just too tempting.

This made Hao Ren grit his teeth and persevere even in wind and rain!

The rice is millet.

But for many people, it is a very precious food.

It could even be considered an asset.

When you go to the Seven Roads, you can still buy a lot of things with two liters of millet.

Despite the widespread circulation of currency in this era, barter trade was still prevalent.

Even shops readily support the practice of exchanging food for goods.

In general, Haoren works very hard to make money!

"...Hey, why didn't Dad go to the government office?"

Komachi's face turned suspicious, and she even took a small step back.

A footstep was heard with a "thump".

Hao Ren felt as if his heart had been struck a heavy blow.

Seeing Komachi's face suddenly turn disgusted, Hiroto quickly waved his hand to explain.

"No, no, I am still a member of the household, and I still have to participate in household affairs from time to time."

"Oh, I see—Go Dad!"

Komachi happily encouraged her father.

Hao was so moved that he almost shed tears.

His hard work paid off.

Seeing my daughter's happy smile makes it all worthwhile.

"By the way, how have you been lately?"

"..."

"--Huh?"

Hao Ren was startled.

Komachi stared at him with an expression of utter disdain, speechless.

This is how the same thing?

"Dad, this is a secret, I'm doing great."

"……Yes."

Haoren nodded obediently, as if he had learned his lesson, feeling frustrated and disappointed.

"Anyway, Daddy, good luck! I'm off to see Mommy!"

"it is good!"

Seeing Komachi smile again, Hiroto's mood improved.

Especially after hearing the encouragement from the world's cutest daughter.

He was full of ambition!

Komachi continued on her way to her mother's house with light steps.

He soon met his mother.

They also met Yukinoshita's mother and sister, who were visiting, and chatted happily with each other.

Noon time.

Following Su Yi's instructions, Yang Nai organized people to inspect and sort the old grain and hemp cloth in the warehouse.

Her main task today was to organize food and clothing for a hundred people.

Preparing for the arrival of some newly acquired villagers.
