Miura's family's Miuraya is well-known in Osaka's business circle and is one of Osaka's well-known silk merchants.

The silk of Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly a luxury product. As long as it is managed properly, it is easy to become rich.

The Miura family has a history of more than a hundred years. Miura's great-grandfather built the Miura House from scratch. After more than a hundred years of development, the Miura family finally became one of the wealthy businessmen and successfully recruited a samurai as his son-in-law 20 years ago.

method to obtain the status of a samurai.

Taro Miura is the eldest son of the Miura family.

In order to avoid the outbreak of family turmoil, the Edo shogunate has stipulated that since its establishment, the family business should be inherited by the eldest son, regardless of whether it is a samurai or a commoner.

At the same time, the family cannot be divided, and the family property cannot be divided into several pieces for each son to inherit. The remaining heirs can only find another way out.

As the eldest son of the family, Taro Miura, if nothing unexpected happens, their family's huge property will be in his pocket.

In order to enable his son to successfully manage this huge family business in the future, Miura's father had asked Miura to help take care of some of the family business in the past few years.

I have to say that Miura still has a bit of business acumen.

After helping to take care of the family business, he successfully achieved a lot.

Half a month ago, Miura successfully negotiated a business deal with a certain big name in the Western Kingdom on his own. This business directly brought an income of 1,000 taels to the Miura family.

1,000 taels is not a small sum for their Miura house.

He accomplished such a great feat, which naturally made Miura want to look up to the sky and laugh for half an hour.

In order to celebrate his new achievements for the family, Miura held a banquet tonight for all his friends.

All his friends were at the banquet except Kitahara from the All Military Hall.

Unlike Miura and others who "appear to be samurai but are actually businessmen", Kitahara is an out-and-out samurai, and he is also a star figure in a swordsmanship hall that is famous in Osaka, such as the Kenhokan.

The two are not in the same circle, but they met unexpectedly a few years ago. They have very similar personalities and quickly became good friends.

Kitahara is now extremely obsessed with that Isshikika. When Miura invited him to the banquet yesterday, even though the Xutianya where the banquet was held was a very serious teahouse, in order to maintain his image of "never going to Shinmachi", he flatly rejected Miura.

invitation.

Since Kitahara didn't come, Miura didn't force him.

Tonight's banquet, almost all of his friends will come. In order not to make this banquet to celebrate his great contribution to the family seem too shameful, and in order to show off in front of his friends, Miura paid a large sum of money to make a reservation a few days ago.

The performance of today's star figure Chu Guang.

Hatsuko is no stranger to Miura.

Two months ago, Miura met Hatsumi for the first time at a friend's banquet, where he came to perform at the banquet.

Miura likes girls who are "swelling". Miura is not the type Miura likes because of her slightly thin figure. However, Miura likes Hatsuko's piano sound very much.

Music is one of Miura's few hobbies. After hearing the sound of Hatsumi's piano for the first time, he was immediately captivated by Hatsumi's talent.

A small part of the reason why Miura invited Miura here was to hear Hatsuko's beautiful piano sound again.

At this moment, seeing the long-awaited first light finally coming, Miura immediately beamed with joy.

Then, after smiling happily, the expression on his face froze.

Because he saw two acquaintances behind Chu Guang.

Miura recognized at a glance that these two people were not the woman he fell in love with yesterday, and that woman's husband?

Miura also knew that Hatsumi had one assistant and two guards. After all, "assistant + bodyguard" was like a business card to Hatsumi.

In an instant, countless questions passed through Miura's mind.

Why are these two people here? Aren’t these two people selling tooth powder on the street? Why did they suddenly change and become Miss Chuguang’s assistant and bodyguard? When I first met Miss Chuguang 2 months ago, Miss Chuguang

The guards and assistants are obviously not these two people...

Although there were many questions, Miura quickly came up with explanations for them one by one:

Chuguang's original assistants and guards had probably resigned, so the couple applied to fill the vacancies of assistants and guards. When they had nothing to do, they went to the streets to sell tooth powder to supplement their family income.

There was no loophole or unreasonableness in the reason he had made up in his mind, which made Miura smile out of self-satisfaction.

"I'm sorry." When Miura's expression just returned to normal from being stunned, Hatsumi folded his hands in front of him, then bowed to Miura and others, and whispered, "I kept you waiting for so long."

"Ah hahaha." Miura withdrew his eyes from Ogata and Omachi and waved his hands towards Hatsumi, "Ms. Hatsumi, you came just in time! You didn't keep us waiting for a long time! Come in quickly! Come in quickly

Bar!"

…

…

After seeing Miura, Ogata felt very surprised.

I was surprised that Osaka is so small...

The guy who struck up a conversation with Atachi yesterday had such a low chance of appearing in front of him again today that Ogata actually happened upon him.

However, he was surprised, and Ogata quickly put away the surprise in his heart.

All he wanted to do tonight was to peacefully complete the tasks assigned to him by Udaemon.

So he just hoped that Miura wouldn't do anything to disappoint his expectations.

After following Chu Guang into the room, Chu Guang knelt down in a corner of the room, with a smile that reminded people of the wind in spring, and said something to everyone at the banquet, "Thank you for inviting me to the banquet."

Class opening remarks, polite words.

After talking about these messy things, Chuguang's performance officially began.

Omachi, who was kneeling neatly behind Hatsuko, handed her the shamisen he had been holding in his arms very conspicuously after Hatsuko announced loudly that he was going to start the performance.

Also holding shamisen, some people's movements are like gorillas playing with toys, while some people's appearance is reminiscent of fairies in the sky.

Chuguang falls into the latter category.

After picking up the shamisen handed over by Omachi in a very elegant manner, Hatsuko pressed the strings with her left hand, held the pick in her right hand, and began to slowly strum the strings.

The sound of the piano at first light is like crystal-clear and round beads swimming around and bumping against each other.

Another example is clear streams, bursts of warm wind, and fallen leaves dancing in the wind...

Ogata didn't understand music, but he could instinctively tell that Hatsuko's playing skills were very high.

Even Ogata, who knew nothing about music and lacked interest, could not help but be fascinated by the sound of Hatsuko's piano.

The originally noisy banquet had already quieted down, and everyone was listening intently to Chu Guang's performance.

The first piece of music played by Chu Guang was not long, so it only took a blink of an eye to finish the piece.

"Okay!" Miura was the first to applaud vigorously, "As expected of Miss Hatsumi! This skill is truly breathtaking!"

After Miura took the lead in applauding, the rest of the people at the banquet followed suit, applauding and applauding.

Ogata, who was sitting behind Hatsuko with Shibata, almost clapped subconsciously, but as soon as he raised his hands, he suddenly remembered that he was now Hatsuko's guard, so he quickly put his hands back up again.

to the legs.

"Oh! It's all thanks to Miura-kun that I can feast my ears today!" At this time, a fat man sitting closer to Miura clapped his hands and laughed, "Miura-kun is indeed a role model for us! Chuguang

Not everyone can invite Miss to perform now, but Miura-kun can easily invite Miss Hatsumi!"

"Yes, yes!" Someone followed closely, flattering Miura, "And you can also hold a banquet in a place like Xutianya! It's really amazing!"

Listening to the flattery from his friends, Miura felt extremely happy.

In fact, the flattery that fat man just flattered was a bit exaggerated.

Although Miuraya is a slightly famous person in Osaka's business circle, it is only slightly famous.

The business circle in Osaka is a real land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. Compared with the real big guys in Osaka, their Miuraya is still far behind.

No matter how capable Miura was, he couldn't just invite Chu Guang here casually. However, he spent a lot of effort and even asked his father to help him to successfully invite Chu Guang to the banquet.

However, Miura, who was feeling extremely happy right now, would not go out of his way to point out the fat man's exaggeration just now.

Not only did he not point it out, he also pretended to smile: "They are just trivial things that are not worth mentioning."

"Miura-kun." At this time, someone suddenly asked Miura, "Speaking of this Xutaya... I heard that your Miura-san has recently cooperated with that Yukimura-sama. Is this true?"

"Oh, about this matter." Miura took a sip of wine, "It's not considered cooperation, it's just mutual benefit with Mr. Yukimura."

"You also know that since last year, our Miuraya has been trying to engage in the beverage business."

"After a year of development, although the wine business is booming, we have to take care of the two major businesses of silk and wine, and our energy can't keep up."

"So after serious discussion with my father, I decided to slightly reduce the scale of our silk industry."

“After hearing that Mr. Yukimura recently planned to get involved in the silk business, we took the initiative to contact Mr. Yukimura and expressed our willingness to sell our several shops in Nara to Mr. Yukimura and provide corresponding purchase channels.

"

"Yukimura-sama is also a cheerful person and agreed immediately."

Miura smiled proudly and raised three fingers.

"He directly gave us a large judgment of 3,000 yuan, and also gave us a izakaya in a pretty good location under his command for free."

As soon as Miura said this, everyone at the banquet gasped.
