Naaru told me what he knew.
But because he was just a housekeeper before he came out with Liushi, so he didn't know much—
The Yoshihirata family is a very large family of blacksmiths. According to the distance of blood relationship, there are also differences between the main family and the branch family.
Naru's identity is an ordinary butler of the branch of the Yoshihirata family, but he is not the kind who serves the big shots, but a relatively marginal butler. He didn't have any special skills, he wasn't valued very much, and he couldn't get into the inner circle of the family. However, he would also occasionally hear some gossip from people in the house, among which the most talked about was the eldest daughter of the Yoshihirata family branch, Carissa.
Carissa can be said to be one of the women with the highest status in the family. Ji Hirata is a very large family of blacksmiths. They are well-known in the entire blacksmithing industry. Their influence is really not comparable to that of ordinary small families. . Although Carissa is only the eldest lady of the separated family, suitors have long queued up early.
Especially for those "self-employed" blacksmiths, being able to join the Yoshihira family means that they can obtain resources that ordinary people can't imagine in one go. Not to mention all kinds of rare materials, what is more important is the forging technology that is closely guarded in the big family, which is enough to make people reach the sky in one step.
But in Naru's view, it is not so easy for Miss Carissa to find a good family.
Because according to various rumors, Carissa is a bit skittish woman. She dresses quite boldly, and occasionally makes some out-of-bounds jokes with the servants. He will maintain a close relationship with some young and talented blacksmiths, and occasionally sneak out to spend the night. All kinds of romantic legends about Carissa are no secret in the Yoshihirata family, and many young and good-looking servants will also dream of having a chance to kiss Fangze with the eldest lady.
Even within the Yoshihirata family, Carissa is a deliberately marginalized existence. When celebrities gather, well-dressed and elegant ladies sit around the table and enjoy afternoon tea in a leisurely manner. Carissa is always the butt of their jokes.
When mentioning Carissa, they never stingy with the cynicism and sarcasm, equating her with those women who sell singing in brothels, and even think that she is inferior to those women in brothels.
"Those women who come out to sell are doing it for a living anyway, what is she (Carissa) if she isn't pure scum?"
This was the most famous comment about Carissa at the time.
In fact, apart from a boy in the main family who grew up with Carissa, she has almost no friends in the Yoshihirata family. Her status in the family is real, but because of her bad reputation, no one wants to get close to her, just maintaining a false respect.
Naru is a gentleman, and has never paid attention to these rumors that have no evidence.
But he also thought about what kind of husband the lady would choose in the end.
The reason why the well-matched big family was unwilling to find her was obvious. Once before, Carissa's father arranged a marriage for her, and the man was the son of another big family. As a result, the other party came over to inquire a little bit, and simply canceled the marriage, saying that he was afraid that after marrying Carissa, he would meet seven or eight men who had slept with her when he went shopping.
And those ordinary people... Naru didn't think any of them could control Carissa's character. There are quite a few people chasing her, but those people just want to use her identity to enter the family of Ji Hirata. They can't control Carissa's character, and Carissa probably won't get happiness from them, and Carissa may not even regard the person who married into her as her home, and still carry on her own affairs outside story.
Most likely, it's just a different dream in the same bed.
Naru is a gentleman, so he will worry about the happiness of the young people, and worry about the eldest lady with whom he has not spoken a few times.
It's just that no one expected that on an ordinary day, the eldest lady suddenly brought a ragged young man back home, and announced calmly that she was going to marry him. This news was like a huge bomb that exploded in the Yoshihirata family. There were countless people watching the excitement. Carissa's parents picked up weapons and sticks and planned to drive this young man out of the house. .
But Carissa just touched her belly and said:
"Are you going to let the child be born without a father?"
This sentence can be rated as the best in the audience. The audience was silent for a while, Carissa's biological father pointed to her nose, his fingers trembled violently twice, and he fainted suddenly.
At that time, Naru, who was in the crowd, silently looked at the young man.
His hair was long and unkempt, covering his head like a weed. The clothes on his body have been worn for a long time, and they have faded. Some places are patched, and some places have holes that have not been repaired. It can be seen that life is difficult. Thin body, especially the joints of the ten fingers are very obvious. His looks are passable, but there is a certain gap compared to those male favorites who rely on their looks for food.
The only thing that impressed Naru was the eyes.
There was no calm confidence in his eyes, but he looked a little inferior. When Carissa held his hand and announced the marriage publicly, he didn't dare to look at Carissa's parents, nor did he dare to look at anyone in the house. Facing the gazes coming from all directions, he lowered his head deeply, staring at the toe of his shoe with holes.
If that was the case, it wouldn't be able to impress Naru.
But Naru clearly remembers that when Carissa's mother asked her why she chose this young man, Carissa replied:
"Because he is the most talented blacksmith in the whole world, and he will become a guy who is better than anyone in the future."
There was a burst of suppressed laughter all around.
Indeed, it would be too conceited to say such a thing in the world's top blacksmith family.
But at this moment, the young man raised his head, and he stared at Carissa's mother without any evasion in his gaze.
His expression is still not confident, but there is an inexplicable persistence and firmness, and he said in a low and hoarse voice:
"I don't know if I can become the number one blacksmith in the world, but I will try my best to become someone worthy of Carissa. So... I implore you to marry your daughter to me."
At that time, Nalu suddenly realized that the blushing young lady who had always been careless and often teased others lowered her head shyly.
So as a gentleman, Nalu finally let go of his long-term worries, and felt sincere joy for this young lady who was out of tune with the world, to be able to reap her own happiness.
