There are no green plants.
As we all know, although this kind of stone scenery is called stone scenery, for the sake of ornamental value, some green plants such as water plants and branches will be appropriately added.
But Miss Kamisato did the exact opposite.
Not to mention aquatic plants, even seaweed cannot exist in the water used.
It is extremely strict.
Maybe... ... this is the so-called persistence of a lady from a noble family
"Miss, there is a stranger outside the door asking to see you."
He had just picked up a stone and had not yet put it into the water when he heard a servant's report from outside.
"Are you looking for your brother?"
In the Kamisato family, his elder brother Kamisato Ayato serves as the head of the family and is in charge of government affairs.
Kamisato Ayaka is in charge of the family's internal and external affairs, which means she is the spokesperson who appears in public.
However, those who usually come to my house are those who have important government matters to discuss with my brother.
Few people take the initiative to come to Kamisato House to find her.
"That man called himself Bai Luo, and said that if you heard his name, you would definitely meet him."
The messenger said.
On normal days... ... there are similar playboys who use this as an excuse to want to meet Princess Bai Lu.
However, they were all sent away by the guards at the door.
But the man today is different from those in the past.
The other person's warm smile and decent attire showed that he didn't look like an ordinary person.
So for some unknown reason he did not send him away, but temporarily handed over the task of guarding to his colleagues, and then took the initiative to report the matter to his eldest daughter.
"Bai... Bai Luo?"
With a click, the stone in Kamisato Ayaka's hand fell.
Others may not know what this name means, but she knows it very well.
There is only one person in this world named Bai Luo whom she knows—the Twelfth Executioner of the Fatui: Anatoly.
But didn’t he leave Inazuma a long time ago
Although Inazuma is currently in a state of isolation, this so-called isolation only applies to ordinary people.
For one of the three magistrates, the shrine magistrate has more than enough information to find out about things other than Inazuma.
A few days ago, I heard that the instructor was doing something big in Liyue.
Why did you return to Inazuma so soon
"Miss, do you need me to chase him away?"
The messenger also heard the panic in Kamisato Ayaka's exclamation. It was the first time he saw the calm young lady react like this.
"No, please invite him in. I'll be there after I change my clothes."
After taking a deep breath and maintaining her dignified image, Kamisato Ayaka said.
Should we say that she is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family
The mentality is adjusted quickly.
It was only a moment, and the panic in her tone disappeared.
But it's just the tone.
Her restless hands and nervous eyes showed that she was not as calm as she looked.
In the quiet traditional Japanese garden, besides the sound of water and some insects chirping, there is the crisp sound of green bamboo hitting rocks.
When Bai Luo, led by the guard of Kamisato Yashiki, arrived at the guest reception area in the courtyard, Kamisato Ayaka had been waiting there for a long time.
As the night progresses, even in the quiet pavilion, candles are used instead of the lamps commonly used in big cities.
"Long time no see, Miss Kamisato."
After seeing Kamisato Ayaka, Bai Luo took the initiative to interrupt what the other party was about to say.
Otherwise... ... the lady's speech was very long.
"My apologies. My elder brother is out on government business. I am sorry for not being able to entertain him well. I hope the executive officer will forgive me."
Leaning forward slightly, Kamisato Ayaka bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly, and apologized.
If possible, she really didn't dare to deal with this special existence.
after all
No... can't think about it anymore.
"No problem. I didn't come here for government affairs. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here alone."
Sitting cross-legged opposite Kamisato Ayaka, Bai Luo explained.
He could never get used to Inazuma's kneeling style.
"Then I wonder why the executive officer is here this time?"
Kamisato Ayato was fully responsible for government affairs, and Kamisato Ayaka did not interfere too much.
However, from the conversation with her brother, she more or less understood some of the situation.
For example, the confrontation with the Fatui.
She originally thought that the other party came here because of these things.
"After all, we are good friends with a common secret, right? I can't just come to see you?"
Bai Luo said while blinking quietly at Kamisato Ayaka.
The so-called secret he mentioned actually referred to the time when they ate rice soaked in tea together in the kitchen.
But when it fell into the ears of Kamisato Ayaka, it was different.
The first thing she thought of was her pot of flowers.
At that time, she didn't have many real friends around her, and Thomas, who was able to talk a little, was arranged by his brother to go to an outlying island. So what she did most often was to confide some of her little secrets to the pot of flowers at night.
"that... ... "
He opened the folding fan in his hand and covered half of his face.
This action, which was most common among nobles, perfectly concealed the shyness and embarrassment on her face.
Because she didn't know how to respond to the other person's question.
"Speaking of which, your yard has changed a lot, hasn't it?"
Bai Luo was a little confused by Kamisato Ayaka's shy look.
Perhaps in order to ease the awkward situation, Bai Luo began to shift the topic to other areas.
For example... ... the changes in Kamisato House.
Chapter 864 Uninvited Guests
The beauty of the Inazuma Garden lies in its smallness and exquisiteness.
Desolate and mysterious, abstract and profound.
Although the area is not large, there are beautiful scenery everywhere.
A pavilion and several stone lamps.
Coupled with some green bamboos and cherry blossoms, as well as a vermilion shrine in the corner, the profound and far-reaching oriental Zen spirit is perfectly displayed in this small courtyard.
Just being in this courtyard gives people a feeling of tranquility and peace.
But
Compared to the last time I came here, Kamisato House has changed a lot.
The overall structure of the courtyard has not changed much, but the landscape inside has changed a lot.
Although it was late at night, with the help of the jade-like round moon in the sky, one could see that the original green plants in the courtyard had basically disappeared, replaced by rocky rockery and an inconspicuous stream.
Even the original stone road was replaced with cobblestones.
Even if it was recently renovated, there couldn't be any vegetation left, right
"Well... it's just my brother's new hobby."
After noticing that Bai Luo was looking at the surrounding scenery, Kamisato Ayaka's heart skipped a beat.
She probably knew why Bai Luo came to Kamisato Yashiki.
He must have noticed that all the plants in her house had disappeared and wanted to come over to get some information.
"What he said... it seems like this is really possible."
Kamisato Ayato's words... ... Bai Luo didn't know him very well, and it was difficult to figure out this person's thoughts.
It's not surprising that he would make such a strange decision.
But when these words reached Kamisato Ayaka's ears, they took on a different meaning.
It was as if Bai Luo was praising Kamisato Ayato for being smart and actually seeing through his plan.
"My brother, your actions are also helpless. I hope the executive officer will forgive you."
There was a hint of bitterness in Kamisato Ayaka's voice when she said this.
They were being monitored by Bai Luo and were clearly the victims.
But after eliminating the other party's surveillance methods, I, as the victim, actually have to apologize to the other party.
Those who have not experienced that deep feeling of powerlessness will never understand.
"After all, this is your own home. It's your business how you decorate it. You don't have to apologize to me."
Bai Luo waved his hand nonchalantly and said.
But it is this attitude that makes Kamisato Ayaka look even more helpless.
Because no matter how you look at it, the other party seems to be stating the same thing.
Do whatever you want to do, I don't care no matter how you do it.
The tiger pays no attention to the lamb's pitiful resistance.
"By the way, is the room I stayed in before still there?"
After finishing the topic about the yard, Bai Luo went straight to the point.
"Yes, that room has been cleaned up. Are you going to stay overnight, sir?"
As one of the three magistrates of Inazuma, the guest rooms in his house would naturally be cleaned by servants at all times.
However, Kamisato Ayaka also used a little trick here, making it sound like this room has always been reserved for Bai Luo.
"Well, this is why I came here tonight. Otherwise, I would have to go to Yingxiang Mountain to bother Yae Gongsi."
Bai Luo joked with his signature smile on his face.
Little did he know that his words once again caused a storm in Kamisato Ayaka's heart.
Go to the mountain to disturb the eight-fold palace officials
If she remembered correctly, her brother Kamisato Ayato was late because the shrine maiden from Narugami Taisha Shrine came to visit in the afternoon.
It was said that it involved the expropriation of some areas of the outlying islands, which was very important, so he was specially invited to the Narugami Shrine on Kagemukaiyama.
This means... ... Bai Luo already knows that his brother is in Ying Xiangshan
Is he threatening me with these words
"You're welcome. The servant will take you to your room to rest. If you need anything, just ask him."
"Okay, then I won't bother Miss Kamisato anymore. See you tomorrow."
