Even Kanzaki Teru himself was almost mesmerized by it; it was an absolutely perfect appearance, one in a million.
Having just dressed herself, Princess Gaoyue walked in, bathed in the soft sunlight.
Today, she has shed the glitz and glamour of yesterday, and gained a touch of gentleness and purity.
A simple bun is adorned with one or two ribbons, and the unassuming velvet flowers are just the right touch.
Her light pink dress concealed her usual slight mischievousness, making her look like a fairy descending to earth to greet the light.
Princess Gaoyue parted her lips slightly: "Hui, let's go, Father and Mother have invited us to have breakfast together!"
"Come here."
For some reason, Princess Takazuki thought Kanzaki Teru was much more handsome than usual. Although the young master of the Kanzaki family was known far and wide for his good looks, she just couldn't quite put her finger on why he looked better.
Kanzaki Teru approached and gently tapped Princess Takatsuki's head. "What are you daydreaming about!"
This finally pulled Princess Gaoyue out of her reverie.
The two walked side by side; the man was tall and slender, while the woman was delicate and graceful. They were the envy of everyone around them, a perfect match indeed.
Once outside, Kanzaki Teru was even more amazed by the immense wealth his family possessed.
Outside his room was a villa with pavilions, terraces, towers, flowing water, and the road was paved with fine jade.
The roadside railings were made of high-quality willow wood, and there was even a clear stream with huge koi carp in it. Copper coins were laid out on the ground underneath, all proclaiming the wealth.
Kanzaki Teru secretly feared: Is it really okay to be so high-profile?
Isn't the king of Yan enjoying happiness with his people, and the people living in peace and prosperity?
No matter how you look at it, it seems like my family is too unapproachable!
This can only be described as extravagant, brother!
Regardless of the dynasty, such extravagance is definitely a bad trend. (Zhao Liaohao) Looking at history, you can't find another family under the emperor's nose that dares to flaunt their wealth so ostentatiously.
The scenery outside the villa left Kanzaki Teru speechless.
He thought the scenery in his villa was already outrageous enough, but compared to the courtyard where he was now, it was nothing.
His own villa is surrounded by mountains and flowing water; the central courtyard can only be described as a mountain of gold and silver.
Kanzaki Teru couldn't imagine how incredibly wealthy someone must be to design something so astonishing.
Chapter 163: I almost said the wrong thing again!
Having come this far, Kanzaki Teru was overwhelmed with challenges. He simply couldn't imagine what it must have been like to live in such an environment year after year.
You could say they've truly reached the point where they see money as dirt; they no longer feel that anything of value has any significant worth.
Growing up in such an environment, he probably doesn't know what money really means.
It felt like something that could be picked up casually, just like mud on the ground.
Princess Takazuki simply assumed that Kanzaki Teru, who was still ill, did not want to overexert himself by talking.
So she didn't chatter on and on as usual.
They were very considerate of Kanzaki Teru's feelings, supporting him as he walked slowly forward.
After passing through the courtyard, we finally arrived at the main house after a long and arduous journey through this luxurious area.
Kanzaki Teru searched through the fragmented memories in his mind, as if after marriage, he should have been living independently. 723
However, judging from the current layout, it seems that they live together.
However, Kanzaki Teru's idea was quickly and completely overturned.
It took a long time to walk from my own villa to this tree, and the area it occupies is also visibly large.
So this is the main house, but it's just a small place for family gatherings.
Kanzaki Teru could also see that his parents had come from elsewhere and hadn't been waiting there all along.
It seems that to understand things clearly, those on the outside need to understand those on the inside first.
As the saying goes, "If you can't sweep your own house, how can you sweep the world?" You can only explore the doubts you want to express by going out and understand the inside of the house first.
The two elders had kind faces and were dressed modestly, but their noble status was still undeniable.
Under such a strong aura of wealth, the ages of the two elderly people were completely hidden (cdfb), and no flaws could be found.
Upon seeing this, Princess Gaoyue quickly said sweetly, "Greetings to Father and Mother!"
Princess Takahara bowed very politely, and Kanzaki Teru's body involuntarily bowed to the two of them as well.
This feeling was quite magical. Although he didn't know what was controlling him, it saved him a lot of trouble.
The two elderly people looked at the young man in front of them, their faces beaming with undisguised smiles and happiness.
"Come on, come on, the food is ready!"
"Haha, I heard that Hui'er fell ill, but she seems to be in good health now. I need to go and give those servants who spread rumors a good talking-to."
"This made me worry all night."
The lady patted her heart with relief, as if a heart that had been hanging in suspense had finally settled down.
The master immediately asked, "Hui'er, has your health truly recovered?"
Kanzaki Teru smiled and said, "Thanks to Chitaki's care, I'm almost fully recovered. It was a small matter, and it bothered my parents. I'm really unfilial."
Princess Gaoyue blushed slightly upon hearing this.
"It should."
Seeing this, the two elders laughed even more heartily.
"Seeing how well you two get along, we feel relieved."
Kanzaki Teru observed the harmonious family atmosphere, the loving mother and filial son, and was somewhat captivated by it.
Is it really true that harmony in the family brings prosperity? Shouldn't such wealthy and powerful families usually be rife with intrigue and turmoil?
Everything before my eyes, though beautiful, feels almost too unreal.
Kanzaki Teru still couldn't quite believe what he was seeing.
The food at the table was also incredibly expensive, and Kanzaki Teru tried his best to suppress his curiosity as a country bumpkin visiting the city, eating in a calm manner.
The other three people at the table, on the other hand, were already used to what was happening.
Fortunately, there were no other rules about eating here, so Kanzaki Teru wouldn't be put in a difficult position.
And now he needs to seize the opportunity to ask some questions.
He had already learned some of the facts from Princess Gaoyue.
Now we need to start with her parents, since they are adults and definitely know more.
However, Kanzaki Teru was not very familiar with anything in this house and didn't know how to start the conversation for a while.
After thinking it over carefully, they started chatting in a roundabout way.
"Dad, how's business at home lately? Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've checked on it."
Kanzaki Teru and the others thought it was just a normal question from a son asking about the family business, but he never expected it to cause such a commotion in the family.
The old man, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly froze.
He stared in disbelief at Kanzaki Teru, who had just spoken.
"Hui'er, what...what did you say?"
The lady next to him was also very excited. She quickly put down her chopsticks and stared intently at Kanzaki Teru.
This has left Kanzaki Teru completely bewildered once again.
"Father...Mother...what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Kanzaki Teru was also forced to stop eating.
His mind went blank, turning to Princess Gaoyue beside him.
His eyes were filled with pleading.
Fortunately, Princess Gaoyue reacted quickly and tried to smooth things over.
Chapter 164: An excited father and a gratified mother!
"Father, Mother, you don't know yet, do you?"
Upon hearing Princess Takazuki's words, Kanzaki Teru immediately felt much more at ease.
He could tell from their interaction yesterday that Princess Gaoyue was very much on his side, so he didn't need to worry about anything.
Then, Hide and his wife gradually shifted their attention from what Kanzaki Teru had just said to what Princess Takatsuki was saying.
Princess Yue, seeing that everyone's attention had been drawn to him, began to explain the whole story.
"Hui fell ill this time because he was too tired from reading."
After saying this, the two elderly people's eyes were filled with heartache.
But Princess Gaoyue did not stop.
“But yesterday Hui told me that he has learned a lot from ancient books, and now his thinking is completely different from before.”
"I think the reason he was unusually eager to learn about family matters today is because he learned something better from the book!"
Only after hearing this did Kanzaki Teru finally understand why his parents had looked at him with such surprise.
It turns out this guy had a huge family before, but he didn't want to take on any of the family affairs.
This is just like some books, where rich young masters treat money and power as dirt.
Kanzaki Teru shook his head helplessly, cursing their stupidity in his heart.
Then, by echoing Princess Gaoyue's words, he managed to smooth things over.
"Chitaki is right. I've been reading books lately and reflecting on myself quite a bit."
"I was too young and immature before."
"There are so many things to do at home, I don't want to eat today, I want to share some of the burden."
Kanzaki Teru feigned guilt, and his words sounded quite righteous.
