You marry my sister - Kanazawa Chusuke's words were like an electric current, starting from the ear piercing, and instantly spread throughout Qingto's body.

Affected by this "current", Qingdeng's body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and goosebumps appeared on his skin.

Qingdeng felt his neck was stiff and subconsciously thought that he had heard wrongly.

He turned his head and cast a shocked look at Kanazawa Chusuke - are you kidding? Qingto asked with his eyes.

Kanazawa Chusuke felt Aoto's gaze.

He smiled and responded to Qingdeng with firm eyes - yes, you heard it right, I just told you: You marry my sister.

"Uh, haha...Kanazawa-kun."

Qingden swallowed and moistened his inexplicably dry throat. He tightened his cheeks and forced out a faint smile. He tried his best to say in a half-joking tone:

"What's wrong? Why did you recruit me to be your brother-in-law so suddenly?"

"What other reasons could there be? I think you are a very good person! You are handsome, tall, talented, and have a bright future. What's more, you haven't married yet! You don't have a fiancée! You are a perfect match for Xiaoqin! And Xiaoqin is just the right person.

like you very much!"

Kanazawa Chusuke put his hands on his hips and spoke in a serious tone.

"Ji Jun, I don't know if you've noticed that Xiaoqin has a good impression of you."

"I'm ashamed to say that, as Xiaoqin's brother, I was only recently surprised to realize that my sister is attracted to you."

Kanazawa Chusuke stretched out his right index finger and wiped his upper lip horizontally, grinning slightly with a look of shame on his face.

"Lately, Xiaoqin always talks about you at home."

"Remember me?"

Qingdeng asked back.

"Oh, yes."

Kanazawa Chusuke nodded.

"What did Miss Kanazawa mention about me?"

"Ha...just those few words over and over again."

Kanazawa Chusuke shrugged, and the smile on his face turned into a bitter smile. At the same time, there was an extra layer of complex emotions in the eyes he cast towards Qingden.

"What's the matter of 'Mr. Tachibana comes to Chiba Sword Hall again today'?"

"What about 'Mr. Tachibana's swordsmanship is really amazing'."

"What about 'brother, you have to be like Mr. Tachibana'."

When he said this last sentence, the complex emotions contained in Kanazawa Chusuke's eyes were no longer vague, but condensed into a real existence.

"I've been there too, so I know what it means to always have the name of another person of the opposite sex on my lips."

"But at first, I was not sure whether my sister really liked you."

"Although it is not appropriate for me as an elder brother to say this...but my sister's fierce temperament does not seem like she would fall in love with a man like an ordinary woman."

"As of recently, I am finally convinced that Xiaoqin does have unusual feelings for you."

"Mr. Ju, I think you are more or less aware of it, right? Xiaoqin has obviously taken a liking to you during the few days she has been living in the military camp. She comes to greet you every once in a while."

"No, I just came to give you cotton-padded clothes in person."

"I have never enjoyed this kind of treatment! That stinky girl has never taken the initiative to give me cotton-padded clothes! I really envy you...ah, no...forget it, just pretend that I didn't say what I just said..."

"..." Qingden ignored Kanazawa Chusuke who suddenly felt sorry for himself, pursed his lips and said nothing.

After delivering a long speech, Kanazawa Chusuke stretched out his hand to open the lapel of his shirt as if he felt hot - in fact, he did feel very hot at that moment.

It was the first time for Kanazawa Chusuke to do such things as a matchmaker for his sister, and to personally ask a certain man if he wanted to be his brother-in-law.

The mood was much more tense than expected.

It was obviously the beginning of winter, and there were countless snowflakes flying above his head, but at this time, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Kanazawa Tadatsuki's forehead.

Kanazawa Chusuke opened his chest and continued to talk while using his hands as a fan:

"Ji Jun, I'm not bragging, Xiaoqin is indeed a good girl."

Kanazawa Chusuke raised the first finger.

"First of all - there is nothing to say about his appearance. He is twenty-nine years old, the same age as you. He is slim and graceful. His eyes are bright, his teeth are white, and his eyebrows are slender."

"Except for being too tall, there is nothing wrong with your appearance - and this only problem is not a problem for you, Mr. Ju, because you are taller than Xiaoqin, standing next to Xiaoqin

When we are together, we won’t be gossiped by those long-tongued people.”

Kanazawa Chusuke raised his second finger.

"Secondly, my family background is very good."

"My Kanazawa family is the flagship of the family with a salary of 1,000 shi. My family background is so pure that even the snowflakes above our heads would make us feel ashamed! Although we are not a famous family, we have never produced villains!"

When saying this, Kanazawa Chusuke puffed up his chest and his face was full of pride.

"at last--"

Kanazawa Tadatsuki raised his third finger.

"Xiaoqin is a kind-hearted Nadeshiko, not a shrew who is beautiful on the outside but corrupted on the inside."

"Not only is she superb in swordsmanship, she will be able to take care of the family well when she gets married, but she is also good at all the skills that a daughter of the martial arts family should know: embroidery, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, incense ceremony..."

"In general, Xiaoqin doesn't have any intolerable shortcomings, except for her temperament that is occasionally too impatient and impulsive."

Having said this, Kanazawa Chusuke slowly lowered the three raised fingers.

As if he was recalling something sad, the remaining air in his lungs turned into a long sigh that was frozen into white mist by the cold winter wind.

"Ah, I almost forgot... Xiaoqin has another shortcoming: she has too high standards."

"As early as three years ago, my father, mother and I introduced many outstanding men to Xiaoqin."

"But for the talents we introduce... Xiaoqin always doesn't like two things - she doesn't like this, and she doesn't like that either."

"So, I was really happy when I found out that Xiaoqin fell in love with you - this stinky girl has finally come to her senses."

"Ju Jun, if I miss you, I don't know how long it will take for Xiaoqin to meet an outstanding person who can make her have a strong affection for her again. That's why I can't wait to ask you now if you are interested in dating Xiaoqin.

marriage."

"So...Tachibana-kun, what do you think?"

The smile on Kanazawa Chusuke's face disappeared little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his expression gradually became serious.

"What do you think of Xiaoqin?"

"do you like her?"

"Do you intend to marry her?"

"If you also like Xiaoqin, then when I return to Edo in the future, I can help you two get married right away! In 2 months at the latest, you and I can get married!"

Kanazawa Tadatsuki asked questions in succession like a machine gun, hitting Qingdeng's head until he was dizzy.

"..."

Qingdeng lowered his head in silence, staring straight at the snow in front of his toes.

The reason why Qingto lowered his head suddenly was of course not because there was anything on the ground that caught his eye. It was simply because lowering his head and not looking at Kanazawa Chusuke made him feel inexplicably relieved.

However, even if he lowered his head, Aomori could still feel Kanazawa Chusuke's gaze that contained strong will, and his scalp had a burning sensation that came and went.

Thinking back to what Kanazawa Chusuke said just now - he was absolutely right. No matter how you look at it, Kanazawa Qin is a very outstanding woman.

She must be good-looking, talented and talented, and have a good family background. She is fully worthy of the nickname given to her by the busybodies at Little Chiba Sword Hall: "Osanako".

Being able to be dubbed the "degraded version of Sanako Chiba"... In a sense, this is an incredible achievement.

I don’t know how many women are not even qualified to compare with Sanako.

Although in terms of appearance and figure, Kanazawa Qin can't compare with monsters like Kinoshita Mai, Sanako, Souji, and Tenzouin who score over 90 or 100 points, but their scores are at least 80 points.

Aoto's family had just been promoted to the banner of Sengoku a while ago, and they are the same family as the Kanazawa family, with the same family income. If Aoto can marry Kanazawa Qin, it will definitely be considered a good match.

but……

but……

As early as when Kanazawa Chusuke said to him, "Tachibana-kun, please marry my sister," Qingto already had the answer in his heart.

The answer came so quickly, without even a moment's hesitation. Even so, it was not out of spite or whim, it was just based on the truest feelings.

The content of this answer was so cruel... It made Qingto feel inexplicably guilty, and he hesitated to speak. He didn't know how to speak, and he didn't know how to explain to Kanazawa Chusuke...

"Um...Kanazawa-kun, I'm sorry, I..."

Qingdeng quietly hid this feeling of guilt deep in his heart and responded softly while carefully choosing his words.

He had just raised his head and only said "Sorry". Before he could even think of a euphemism, he was interrupted by Kanazawa Chusuke:

"Ah, okay, no need to say more."
