"The reason I asked about Mr. Fujii's previous school was that I wanted to confirm in person that Mr. Fujii's identity matched my requirements, which means that Mr. Fujii's level can fully meet the requirements of the lady. After all, there is only one week, and the time is relatively tight. Please forgive me, Mr. Fujii."
"nothing."
Fujii Itsuki expressed his regret for what happened to his daughter, and after a moment of silence, he grasped a detail:
"But, Mr. Yongshan, did you confirm that it was half a year ago?"
"That's it."
"The accident happened half a year ago. Does that mean your daughter missed half a year of classes, and I need to make up for it for her within a week?!"
"What's the problem, Mr. Fujii?"
This is a big problem. Very big.
Fujii Itsuki added, "I personally don't have any problems, because I have the tutoring materials left by the previous school. As long as the goal is clear, I can finish the lessons and knowledge points to learn in one day. But the main question is, can your daughter finish the six-month course in this week?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Fujii."
"rest assured?"
Yongshan Ying nodded, looked ahead while driving, squinted her eyes and smiled:
"Mr. Fujii's concerns are not unreasonable, but please don't worry, the young lady will definitely be able to complete these courses."
"."
Fujii Itsuki remained silent.
The content of half a year or a semester can be completed in one week.
Even the most talented students he had ever seen did not have such learning efficiency.
This is no longer a student, this is a learning immortal.
He just didn't believe that someone could have such a high learning efficiency. If someone was really that amazing, could he go straight to a Ph.D. in his teens?
Isn't this a fake job, designed to cheat people?!
Not sure.
After all, Maybach is not fake, and Sakura Nagayama's behavior and words are not fake either.
Let's take it one step at a time. If the car goes to a place that's not right, he'll just get out.
Cross the national highway, drive through the small town, and arrive at the city area.
Not long after, Fujii Itsuki got out of the car.
In fact, he was worrying too much.
Only then did he understand what a rich person was.
The entire Japanese-style courtyard is located on the plain at the foot of Mt. Teine. It is surrounded by an artificial moat that is three meters wide. The high walls of the courtyard extend to the left and right, hidden by evergreen trees, so he can't see the edge at all.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard and looking up, you can also see torii and shrines on the hill in the courtyard.
This is not called a courtyard, it should be called a city.
He wouldn't think it was absurd to put a castle tower in this large Japanese courtyard.
"This whole city belongs to you?"
"It belongs to the master. This place can't even be called a city, it's just a small courtyard."
“You are so humble.”
"Mr. Fujii is joking."
Fujii Itsuki stood in front of the wooden door of the Japanese-style courtyard and saw a family crest composed of four rhombuses.
Wait, isn’t this a Four-cut Diamond Pill?
It is the family crest of the former Hokkaido governor, the Matsumae clan.
Fujii Itsuki's pupils shrank immediately:
"Your young lady's surname is Matsumae?!"
"Yes."
"The Matsumae of Hokkaido Matsumae clan?"
"If there is no second Matsumae in the history of Hokkaido, then the master is the Matsumae mentioned by Mr. Fujii."
"Isn't the Matsumae clan in Matsumae County?"
Nagayama Sakura explained, "The current economic center of Hokkaido is Sapporo. Naturally, the Matsumae family also has property here. In fact, since the 8th year of the Meiji era, the head of the Matsumae family has basically lived here."
In 1875, the eighth year of the Meiji era, railways began to be laid in Hokkaido, industrial and commercial industries began to develop, and an urban area radiating throughout Hokkaido was established with Sapporo as its center.
If everything the butler said is true, this place is most likely the territory of the Matsumae family.
Seeing that he had not yet recovered from his shock, Nagayama Sakura said to Fujii Itsuki with a smile:
"Don't think too much, Mr. Fujii. This is the modern age, the 21st century. Guests of the Matsumae family don't need to follow so many complicated etiquette. Just relax."
"."
The more I say this, the more incredible it seems.
Not only the Jiuhua family, but he also encountered a family recorded in history books.
Seeing such a luxurious courtyard in the snow, an ordinary person like him would more or less feel dreamy.
Very uneasy.
"Mr. Fujii, please go in first."
"Row."
On the way, Nagayama Sakura talked a lot with Fujii Itsuki about the Matsumae family.
Including how the Matsumae clan continued to consolidate its strength after the Meiji Restoration, how it chose its development direction during the Industrial Revolution, and how it fled abroad during the war.
Nagayama said that compared to the chaebols that have always had strength and financial heritage, their Matsumae family is more like an emerging family with a rich history but has developed relying on the trends of the new era.
Simply put, the Matsumae family experienced a rebirth. They declined in the past, and then returned to their past status in modern times in recent decades.
Fujii Itsuki was quite interested in what he heard, because these were contents that were not often recorded in historical documents.
Entering the courtyard, Fujii Itsuki saw a huge straight approach in the middle of the courtyard, with cherry trees planted on both sides.
Cherry blossom trees covered in snow stretch out into the distance on both sides, ending in a bright red torii gate that leads directly to the shrine on the top of the mountain.
If it were spring, it would be even more beautiful here.
It’s a pity that it’s the wrong season now. The cherry trees have all lost their leaves and the trunks are bare.
When he got closer, he realized that the shrine was outside the courtyard, separated from the residential area.
This cherry blossom approach leads directly to the shrine, with a gate blocking the middle.
The shrine was separated from the residential area probably because the surrounding residents had to worship at the shrine.
Fujii Itsuki looked up at the snowy shrine on the hill, which was half hidden by the shadows of the trees.
There is an observation deck behind the shrine. If you stand there and look down, you can probably see the entire garden and half of the Teine area.
It must be beautiful.
"Then this shrine must be Matsumae Shrine."
"Yes."
"Is Matsumae Shrine also moving here?"
"Yes."
"Are the Raikuni Toshitachi and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's bronze seal also placed here?"
After hearing this, Nagayama Sakura couldn't help but admire, "Mr. Fujii is really knowledgeable. That's right. Because the head of the Matsumae family is here, the three famous trees, the Phoenix Dance Pine, the Wolong Plum, and the Xiangyun Pine, are also placed here for worship at the shrine. The ones displayed in Matsumae County are replicas for tourists to visit, and they will only be handed over when necessary for celebrations."
Matsumae Shrine enshrines the first head of the family, Takeda Nobuhiro, and the pioneers who built Hokkaido, that is, the ancestors of the Matsumae family.
At that time, the Matsumae clan was not called the Matsumae clan, but the Uyizaki clan.
Hokkaido is not called Hokkaido, but Ezo.
This group of people, namely the Matsumae family, were the first group of people who came from Japan to open up Ezo. They are a genuine aristocratic family that has been passed down to this day.
Fujii Itsuki followed Nagayama Sakura into the reception room.
When drinking tea here, you can turn your head and see the shrine and the shrine observation deck on the hill through the quaint eaves.
The snow and the scenery complement each other in a very elegant way.
Butler Yongshan personally made a pot of tea for him.
"I have other things to take care of. Please wait here for a moment, Mr. Fujii. The young lady should still be practicing at the moment. I will bring her here soon."
"learn."
"Then I will leave first. Mr. Fujii just wait here for a while."
"Ah."
Butler Nagayama opened the door and left. While drinking hot tea, Fujii Itsuki began to observe the interior of the Japanese-style courtyard.
The overall interior is very simple, whether it is the cushions, the small tea table, or the Chinese calligraphy hanging on the wall.
There are two samurai swords, one long and one short, enshrined in the center. I wonder if they are famous swords passed down from ancient times.
There is a corridor outside the door, with two floors in front and back, and a sliding glass door on the outside to keep out the cold.
The beams extending out from under the eaves are made of old cypress wood, wrapped in copper and decorated with carvings.
Fujii Itsuki didn't expect to end up in such a place.
How did that guy Nonaka get the commission from the Matsumae family?
However, these are not things that Fujii Itsuki needs to consider now. He just needs to do his job well and help the eldest daughter of the Matsumae family to finish the lessons she has missed in the past six months.
He was patient and drank his tea quietly.
After waiting for about an hour, Butler Yongshan did not show up.
Logically speaking, the other party should be very punctual.
