So later on, Kousaka Kyosuke simply talked about the Daijifu (Great Temple).

"Look, I also brought incense, porcelain, Tang brocade, and Tang ink..."

Kyosuke Kosaka magically produced one item after another.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's payment had already been made.

Incidentally, Kousaka Kyosuke also traded a stack of talismans with Minamoto no Yorimitsu for 300,000 sen.

The reward is two hundred thousand coins.

He received a total of 500,000 sen from Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

Of the 500,000 coins, 20,000 were given to his subordinates.

Of the remaining 480,000, 200,000 were used to buy the various items that were being offered at a low price.

There's another 280,000 yuan that I plan to give to Suyi to manage later.

"By the way, Shizuko, Eru, I've already spoken with Bepto, the head of the Daiji Prefecture. He'll keep a close eye out for any crop seeds."

"Thank you for your trouble, I am very grateful."

"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!"

Chitanda and Shizuko answered quickly.

Shizuko was almost kneeling on her knees in a gesture of supplication.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and waved his hand, thinking to himself that he should turn away.

"The spices from the Tang Dynasty seem to have a particularly pleasant scent..."

"Because it contains a lot of spiritual energy."

Seeing Xiangzi muttering to herself, Kousaka Kyosuke explained to her.

Xiangzi's hobbies are literature and incense.

She studies incense every day.

They also like to offer advice to others.

Fujishikibu was often willing to discuss this topic with her.

At this moment, Fujishibu, who was next to Xiangzi, was also holding fragrant herbs from Tang.

I sniffed it gently.

So, this is what it means to say you won't trade with the Tang Kingdom?

To be honest, Kyosuke Kosaka thinks he was too naive.

They were willing to rely on hearsay rather than conduct on-site observation.

"...Speaking of which, there are quite a few things from the Tang Dynasty here."

Xiangzi suddenly realized what Kousaka Kyosuke was thinking.

Kyosuke Kosaka's lips twitched slightly. He had also talked to Xiangzi about the Tang Dynasty before.

"It appears to be a deal with a vassal state that split from the Tang state."

"Oh I got it."

Seeing Kousaka Kyosuke's appearance, Kaori found it somewhat amusing.

She had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"The ink blocks, emitting a bluish-purple light, are of very high quality. There are so many of them... They must be very expensive."

"It wasn't expensive; it was all bought at import prices. I helped them with some things."

Kyosuke Kousaka said to Miku, whose cheeks were flushed with excitement.

Miku was carefully examining the different types of ink blocks.

She likes collecting and appreciating antiques and cultural artifacts.

Kyosuke Kosaka would often buy him writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

"How come they even have ham..." May held a piece of animal leg meat wrapped in oil paper, looking on with a look of surprise.

Fumino was also watching from the side.

Kyosuke Kosaka could clearly see that both of their white throats were trembling subtly.

Gurgle?

Kousaka Kyosuke joked in his mind.

He said, "That's roasted pork. It's made from pork but can be preserved for several years. It was specially sent to me by the Da Zi Mansion."

“I feel that there are many wonderful things about the Tang Kingdom,” Su Chang couldn’t help but say.

Incense, medicine, and food are all rich in spiritual energy.

It's impossible not to understand the fact that "the Tang Dynasty was vast and rich in resources" from this.

"Yes, otherwise their imported goods wouldn't be so popular."

Kyosuke Kosaka did not offer much comment.

What he was certain of was that the Tang Dynasty was still in the midst of war.

Therefore, I don't want to join in the fun.

Upon seeing the imported goods from the Tang Dynasty, he concluded that protecting the capital was the more practical priority.

"The brocade really does feel as light as a feather," Nino remarked, admiring the unfolded piece of cloth.

Ichika also enjoyed the view.

Yotsuba looked around, as if searching for a suitable toy.

She looks a lot like Chika.

The two of them do get along very well.

Under the snow, the Kirisu sisters were quietly tidying up the slightly messy things one by one.

It's become more like an exhibition.

In reality, they are almost the same.

Su Yi silently examined each item, occasionally picking one up to observe it.

"Kyosuke-sama really enjoys shopping."

"It's for us, isn't it..."

Su Yi, who has recently started cutting back on some unnecessary expenses at the mansion, hasn't said anything.

Ever since she married into the family, she had noticed that Kyosuke Kosaka really enjoyed shopping.

However, Kyosuke Kosaka never spent any extra money.

The official salary, seasonal stipend, and merit-based rewards that came with official positions were sufficient to cover most of the expenses.

Kyosuke Kousaka has always had his goods delivered directly to the warehouse.

Furthermore, he would occasionally trade with the Genji and Kamo clans to obtain money, which he would then hand over to her.

Therefore, life was still quite comfortable at this time.

She didn't need to offer any advice.

It's better to look happy when picking out things you like.

Before she knew it, Su Yi picked up a piece of cloth embroidered with cloud patterns.

She likes this.

"Ah! Wow!" Komachi chattered away like a mood-creating machine.

Here, a cry of surprise was heard; there, an exclamation of amazement was heard.

Kyosuke Kousaka found it amusing.

He suddenly noticed that the sisters, Hongmei and Hui, were looking at a porcelain tray with a lid on, and his heart skipped a beat.

Oops!

He bought it simply because he thought it was interesting.

I never expected them to actually take it out!

Kyosuke Kousaka wanted to call out, but in the end, he didn't make a sound.

"—?!" Hui's cheeks flushed instantly as she curiously opened the lid.

The two tiny figures reflected in the dark pupils were intertwined...

boom.

Hui gently closed the door.

She also saw Hiromi chuckle and smile at her.
