Of course, there were also people who didn't welcome him.

For example, Yeyue Zhiping!

Tanaka Nobuo had wanted to talk to Yeyue Zhiping at least three times, but Yeyue Zhiping had always ignored him. Therefore, Tanaka Nobuo could only walk away tactfully. From the looks of it, this person was not someone he could afford to offend.

At this time, Tanaka Nobuo saw the messenger on the pool. He immediately walked forward enthusiastically, "Heh, Big Brother Xin, why have you just arrived? Is there anything more important than your own sister's coming of age ceremony? "

There were two more people who had grown up with the letter on the pond, so he could only choose Qing Nian and Ikegami Jingzi to meet his two children.

Don't just look at how long the letters on the pool were and how Ikegami Tingxiao was already fifty years old, they were of the same generation as Ikegami Youjia, who was several tens of years younger than them. Therefore, although Ikegami Jingzi and Qing Nian were also older than Ikegami Youjia, they couldn't help but call him 'Aunt' in front of her.

Seeing Tanaka Nobuo, the letter on the pond became passionate, "Aiya, Tian Zhong Jun has already arrived! Ah, I have no choice. Today is the day of the management meeting of the consortium. "Well, I was just done with the meeting, so I rushed over here in a hurry. Fortunately, it's not too late."

Tanaka Nobuo seemed to have just thought of something, "Aiya, I really should call. How could I forget that today is Golden Obsidian, the monthly manager meeting of the Twin Ling Financial Group? How about it? Is everything all right? "

Chi Shangzhu replied: "It's alright, I'm worried about you."

The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, a few other important guests had also arrived one after another, such as the rest of the guests who were listed as the Patriarchs of the eight great clans along with Yeyue Family and Ikegami Family. Towards these guests, Ikegami Tingxiao alone was not able to welcome them, if Ikegami Masaaki personally went out to receive them.

Only Yeyue Zhiping, who came rather early, might be one of the eight great clans as well, but due to his special relationship with the Ikegami Family, he could still be considered half a master here, so Ikegami Masaaki didn't need to personally welcome him.

However, Yeyue Zhiping had to laugh and scold him, "You old thing, come out and welcome them. When I come, you will not come out! "You are deliberately making things difficult for me!" The clan heads looked at each other and laughed. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Towards this family head of a large family, although the other guests could be considered celebrities, they all knew their own limitations and didn't go up to greet him.

Even if they were all in Tokyo, they might not be able to make it in the next few years if the heads of the eight clans were to be brought together. Therefore, compared to them, the coming of age ceremony was just a chance for them to get together and have a good time. After all, when a person reached their position, there were very few who could stand on equal footing. The people around them were all trembling with fear when they spoke to them. They were afraid that they would mispronounce a single word. Although this kind of feeling would give them a sense of dignity and accomplishment, it would be unavoidable that it would become boring after a long time.

Just then, the guests reported loudly, "Jichuan is here from your husband and wife, Kawamoto Giiti and his wife!"

When Yeyue Zhiping heard this, he immediately said, "Alright then, all eight Patriarchs of the eight families have arrived. Hey, old fellows, let's go and meet this former number one beauty of Japan! We are all old and decrepit, but I am still a tender and beautiful flower! "

The few patriarchs heard this and laughed, scolding Yeyue Zhiping for being shameless and disrespectful.

Quan Chuan walked in gracefully while holding Kawamoto Giiti's arm, only to see that there were actually seven clan leaders waiting there. For a moment, they were overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, and could not help but laugh tenderly, while claiming that they did not dare.

Speaking of which, even though her Yuchuan Family was the youngest among the eight great families, she was also the youngest among the eight Patriarchs, and also the only female. The other clan leaders were already old, so they had no choice but to give a headache as to who would be their successor. However, for the time being, they did not have this problem.

As the question of succession was practically the biggest and most troublesome problem for a family. If one was not careful, there would be endless troubles in the future, so, every clan leader had to properly settle the relationship with the youngest Clan Chief of Yuchuan Family, because for the period of time before or after her successor ascended to the position, she, who could already be considered a clan leader, would need the support of a clan leader that could be considered a senior.

It was for this reason that the noble clans were able to gain benefits from the eight great clans. Although the seven Patriarchs welcoming him seemed like a joke, the deeper meaning was not something outsiders could understand.

After the eight Patriarchs were all present, they went to their own private areas, while generally speaking, the guests continued with their activities.

At this time, Tanaka Nobuo finally found the Dragon Body. The two of them held a glass of red wine in each of their hands, and after they touched their cups, Tanaka Nobuo asked: "Hey, Brother Villa, why is it that I can't see your son anywhere?"

"Oh, he probably went to look for the Miss Youjia to play!"

Tanaka Nobuo said: "Hehe, your son Honzyou Yosuke and Miss Youjia are childhood sweethearts, you can say that you are born to be together! Right, Brother Zhuang, according to the rules of the Ikegami Family, after Miss Youjia organizes the coming of age ceremony, it means that they can get married. I see that Miss Youjia and your son are a perfect couple, I wonder if Brother Zhuang would like to propose marriage to the Clan Leader after the coming of age ceremony in Miss Youjia? If it's a success, don't forget to buy me a cup of wedding wine! "

Dragon Fang forced out a smile, raised his glass, and said, "Definitely!" Then, he drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Tanaka Nobuo's eyes flashed, and asked: "Does Brother Zhuang not look too interested? "What, have you met with trouble?" Just as he finished speaking, before Honeysuckle Dragon could say anything, he hurriedly smacked himself on the forehead, "Aiya, I should have hit you. How could I have forgotten why Brother Honghu is so troubled!?" I'm really sorry, I'm sorry! "

Dragon Zhizhong quickly said, "Brother Tian need not blame yourself. This matter was originally not Brother Tian's fault. It was just that this matter was too sudden and I did not expect it."

Tanaka Nobuo lowered his voice and said: "That's right, Brother Villa, the Vermillion Bird has already swallowed the White Tiger, the Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird have a very harmonious relationship, and it seems that they are on the same side. Furthermore, Mr. Zinguu Wanzao from your guild suddenly switched to the Vermillion Bird, so the situation now is not good for Brother Zhuang. I wonder what Honorable Zhuang is planning to do now? "

Honorable Qu Long sighed and said: "How can I not know that the situation is bad? Unfortunately, right now, we don't have any good ideas. "

Tanaka Nobuo also sighed, "That's right. Furthermore, I have long since heard that your son is on very good terms with the Miss Youjia, so I have always believed that this Big Brother Zhuang's marriage with Ikegami Family is only a matter of time. Now that all of these things have happened, that old man Ikegami Masaaki seems to be cold to me, Brother Zhuang. It seems that this situation is not looking good! "

This villa's Long Zhizhu bitterly smiled, "That's right!" I am also worrying about this. " As he said that, Long Zhaofeng seemed to have thought of something, and he lowered his voice: "I believe Brother Tian Zhong must have also heard, that the His Highness the Azure Dragon from back then appeared again? There seems to be a shadow of him behind all of these things that happened with Profound Martial Society. I wonder what Brother Tian Zhong thinks about this matter? "

Tanaka Nobuo obviously disapproved of His Highness the Azure Dragon, and even scoffed at him, "Hmph! What His Highness the Azure Dragon? "In my opinion, he's a fake!"

"Fake?" "But according to reliable information, the His Highness the Azure Dragon really did produce a dragon. As the elders of the family, you and I naturally know that this thing cannot be fake. "

Tanaka Nobuo sneered: "Hmph, have you forgotten what I said? The last time His Highness the Azure Dragon appeared, he created a sun. Why did he have to create a dragon this time? Don't forget, dragons are Chinese totems, not Japanese. "

"Then, what does Tian Zhongjun mean by that?"

Tanaka Nobuo said: "If my guess is correct, then the fellow who went to the Black Tortoise Headquarters to cause trouble that night was most likely someone who pretended to be Your Highness."

That night, Tanaka Mingtai understood the situation the best. After Tanaka Mingtai returned, he told Tanaka Nobuo about this matter, and with his intelligence, he immediately understood the relationship between the two of them, which was why he dared to speak in such a manner. He had fought with Lingyun in China, so he naturally knew Lingyun's capabilities. Thus, if it was Ling Yun who caused all of this, it could completely explain everything.

Hearing what Tanaka Nobuo said, Long Zhi Jie could not help but be shocked: "Ah? Do you know that person, Brother Tian? "

Tanaka Nobuo said: "I am not only acquainted with him, I have also fought with him before. My failure in China might have something to do with him."

As Long Zhijie wanted to continue speaking, he heard another voice from outside, "Your Highness, Prince Bohun has arrived!"

Tanaka Nobuo and Long Zhijie immediately stopped talking, and the other guests in the hall did the same. They immediately stood in two neat rows, with a path set up in the middle.

The Patriarchs of the eight great clans also rushed out to receive him. In an instant, Prince Bohun had become the absolute star.

Amongst all the guests who were respectful to Prince Bohun, not one of them could guess his intentions for coming here.

This Prince Bohun was the younger brother of the Crown Prince. However, the Crown Princess didn't give birth to a male heir. As he grew older and older, the probability of his giving birth to a male heir became smaller and smaller. This made it extremely possible for a female emperor to appear in the future.

And just at this time, the Princess of Bohun gave birth to a man. As a result, Prince Bohun's status became more and more subtle.

What was originally an impossible task had suddenly become possible. No one would be able to resist such temptation. As a result, the initially calm Prince Bohun also became restless. Thus, he began to secretly recruit soldiers and build up his own power. Everyone was well aware of this, so naturally no one was willing to take the risk of offending the future emperor.

Not long ago, specifically a week ago, Prince Bohun's princess consort suddenly passed away.

At this time, Prince Bohun had come to participate in a young miss' coming of age ceremony, and he had even heard that Ikegami Masaaki had not invited any members of the imperial family to this kind of gathering at all.

Because Ikegami Masaaki was the master of this place, it was naturally him who took the lead. Because of the special relationship Yeyue Zhiping had with Ikegami Family, he took Yeyue Zhiping as his successor, and as the only female clan leader of the eight great clans, on the basis of fully respecting females, everyone stood at the same position as Yeyue Zhiping, followed by the clan heads of the other five great clans.

"Welcome, your Highness Prince Bohun!" The eight powerful Patriarchs all bowed towards Prince Bohun.

Seeing that, the other guests followed suit and spoke out too: "Welcome, Your Highness, Prince Bohun!"

"Everyone, no need to stand on ceremony, no need to stand on ceremony. I just heard that today's Ikegami Family is going to hold a grand coming of age ceremony to join in on the fun, and that's all I will stir up the interest of everyone, haha …" Prince Bohun laughed heartily.

After that, Ikegami Masaaki led the Patriarchs of the other great clans and led Prince Bohun to their own domain.

Not long after, it was time for Miss Ikegami Youjia's Coming of Age Ceremony.

All the guests were invited to sit in another hall.

Sitting in the VIP seats were naturally the Patriarchs of the eight great clans, as well as Prince Bohun.

When the guests had finished seated, Ikegami Masaaki stood at the front desk and thanked the crowd of guests. After thanking him, he announced the official start of the coming of age ceremony for his last daughter, Ikegami Youjia.

And then, Ikegami Youjia, who was the main character today, was invited to the stage.

The current Ikegami Youjia was dressed in a gorgeous kimono, paired with her impeccable appearance, it couldn't help but give off a breathtaking feeling. The guests in the audience gasped in admiration.

Prince Bohun, who was sitting in the VIP seats, also nodded his head slightly while smiling. His manner only further confirmed people's earlier speculation.

According to tradition, the first step of a young girl's coming of age ceremony was to thank her parents for raising her.

Ikegami Youjia who had been receiving education from a noble since childhood was familiar with this point, so she quickly completed the process.

The second step was for the parents to choose an elder to give the young girl her hair.

The so-called hair knot, to put it bluntly is to put up the hair. This tradition was in fact introduced into Japan by China in the Tang Dynasty. In ancient China, males were 20 years old and females 15 years old were considered as adults. If they were adults, it meant that they could get married.

A man at the age of twenty was called a weakling. If he wanted to perform a coronation ceremony, he could wear a hat that an adult could wear.

The young girl, fifteen years old, was known to be able to tie up her hair the way a grown woman would.
