Before noon, Zhu Gaoxu had already taken a car from the outer city and entered Taiping Gate.
He went to Ma Enhui's Yàn Que Lake residence in the morning.Ma Enhui lives there and may feel deserted during the festival; Zhu Gaoxu went to visit her in person today, and she was indeed very surprised and relieved.
The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the most atmosphere, but Zhu Gaoxu has a banquet at night and can only leave the palace during the day.
At both ends of Taiping Bridge on the Xiang River, candles and lanterns have been hung in the attic, and they are only lit at night, which is called "Tree Mid-Autumn Festival".
Without the lights to cheer up, there was still something missing on the bustling streets at this time.
At this moment, Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was riding slowly on the side of the carriage, left the team, bent down on the side of the road, and talked to a man in a commoner.
Zhu Gaoxu was watching the scenery, so he ignored them.
After a while, Zhang Sheng returned to the carriage and said in a deep voice: Master, three Japanese are wandering around, among which Qiu Yuezhi.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately remembered the Japanese woman.I thought it was a bit difficult before, so I ignored it, but almost forgot it.
Today he was in a very relaxed mood and could be happy even if he went out of the palace occasionally.After Zhang Sheng reminded him, Zhu Gaoxu was in a hurry and said: Stop after crossing the bridge.
Zhang Sheng received the order.
A group of civilians guarded the carriage and stopped by a wall at the bridge. Zhu Gaoxu walked down and pointed at Zhang Sheng and a military general of the Jinyiwei beside him and said: You two follow me, others will go back first.
The eunuch Wang Gui stepped forward and was about to speak. Zhu Gaoxu said straight: If you follow me, no matter how stupid a person is, he can guess what I am.
yes.Wang Gui said hurriedly.
The three of them walked away from a cross street, and Zhang Sheng led the way to find him.
There are many people on the street today, but the Japanese dresses are different. As long as they see them, they will definitely be able to recognize them.They walked around for a while, and Zhang Sheng suddenly said in a deep voice: It's them.
Zhu Gaoxu looked around and found the Japanese.
They were walking across the street in the direction of Zhu Gaoxu.
Many passers-by were watching the three foreigners in a strange outfit.
Zhu Gaoxu's expression was slightly strange, and his eyes were attracted for a moment.Unexpectedly, the woman offered by Ouchi is so beautiful, so she must not be the one she is looking for.
The woman was petite, but had a beautiful side.
Under the tied hair, the round face is fair and watery, and the eyes are shining.
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't appreciate this little girl with any face shape, eyes, or shape and color, because she had a special feeling.
She was wearing a pink narrow-sleeved robe, and she didn't carry that kind of pillow-like thing on the back of her waist. It seemed that the kimono was also changing.
There are very few ornaments on his body, and at first glance there is only one hairpin, and there is a symbolic pattern on his robe that looks like a family emblem: five-petal flower.
He was also carrying a cloth bag in his hand.
The people walked diagonally across the street. Zhu Gaoxu did not look back and continued to walk forward across the street.After a while, he turned around and continued to wander the streets.
Zhang Sheng and the other two followed, without saying much.
Zhu Gaoxu did not act rashly, after all, it was embarrassing to pick up a conversation suddenly.He followed several streets slowly and gradually felt a little bored, so he prepared to go back.
At this moment, a man suddenly ran into a Japanese man.
The Japanese reacted very quickly and actually avoided it. He turned around and cursed.
In a blink of an eye, the half-year-old man who was squatting on the road suddenly jumped up and grabbed the cloth bag in Qiu Yuezhi's hand.
The boy grabbed the cloth bag and pulled it, but it didn't take it away. Qiu Yuezhi let out a pain, her wrist seemed to be entangled by the cloth bag belt, and the person was pulled back and turned around.
Her face was pale and she looked at a loss, and she didn't react at all.
The boy immediately grabbed it hard again, Qiu Yuezhi exclaimed in surprise, staggering and almost falling down, watching the boy running towards the crowd in the middle of the street.
The two Japanese near her were a little far apart, but when they saw the situation, they did not catch the boy; one of them chased him out, and the other protected Qiu Yuezhi behind him.
Zhang Sheng turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu.But Zhu Gaoxu did not indicate anything, so Zhang Sheng continued to stand and didn't move.
Qiu Yuezhi stood there blankly, her face frightened, and she showed a look of regret and heartache. She bit her lips and showed a little obvious white tiger teeth, but she didn't cry.
Zhu Gaoxu observed her and suddenly felt that Qiu Yuezhi could not be an assassin at all.
After all, people can easily reveal their true colors in emergencies; unless the two thieves have arranged in advance, they will know as long as they catch them.
Zhu Gaoxu walked towards them at this time, and then he heard a man and a woman saying something that he couldn't understand.
The short middle-aged man should be a martial artist, and turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu and others who walked up to him.
Miss Qiuyue, are you not injured?Zhu Gaoxu pointed at her wrist and said.
Both of them showed surprise expressions.Qiu Yuezhi could speak Chinese slowly, and she bowed to Zhu Gaoxu and said: It’s nothing serious, it’s just that the things were stolen.Who is you?
Zhu Gaoxu bowed and said: I am Wang Shan, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites.Is this the Japanese envoy General Maori?
The middle-aged man also understood Chinese and bowed and said: That's right.
In a crowded place, it is inevitable that the fish and dragons will be mixed together, and the two of them are frightened.Zhu Gaoxu said, can the lost things be valuable?
Qiuyue said: In addition to a little bit of gold, silver and copper coins, there is also a belt embroidered by himself. It was a pity that he was going to give to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.I just finished the work and forgot to take it out. It would be fine if I put it in the Huitong Pavilion room early in the morning.
Zhu Gaoxu said: I know my colleagues from Yingtian Mansion and ask someone to investigate immediately, and it should be possible to find them back.You know, everyone is in the officialdom and has many acquaintances.
Qiuyue bowed and said: I'm sorry, Lord Wang.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites should be responsible for taking care of you, but today everyone is on holiday.Zhu Gaoxu said, and after he said that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng immediately bowed his fists and left silently.
Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the teahouse next to him and said: I'll treat you, let's find a table above, drink a cup of tea and use some snacks, and maybe you can wait for the search results.
Qiu Yuezhi hurriedly said: We should repay Lord Wang.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: There is always a distinction between a host and a guest.
At this time, Maori spoke: Are the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty separated?
Go upstairs and explain in detail.Zhu Gaoxu took the lead.
This place is a bustling city with people coming and going, and restaurants are also public places, so Zhu Gaoxu doesn't need to explain.Sure enough, Maori and Qiu Yuezhi followed.
The three of them sat down by the window, and the generals of the Jinyiwei, beside Zhu Gaoxu, sat down at another table.Zhu Gaoxu said: I have to find the Shangguan of the Ministry of Rites to reimburse him, which is considered to be a treat of the Gentile envoys.
Qiu Yuezhi smiled, and Sadashi Mori's expression was not so serious.
Zhu Gaoxu continued: My father gave birth to two sons and half-mother. I have been strong since I was a child, but my elder brother is thinner. My father arranged for my elder brother to study the literature and imperial examinations and asked me to practice the martial arts and martial arts. Unexpectedly, I loved studying since I was a child, but my elder brother loved to dance with swords and guns. Later, neither of us fulfilled our father's wish. What a person looks like depends on what kind of heart he has.
The gross profit will be doubtful.Qiu Yuezhi found it very interesting, and it could be seen from her eyes.
After the speech stopped, Qiu Yuezhi came to her senses, hurriedly showed a polite smile, and lowered her head gently.At this time, the waiter brought the tea and two dishes of dried dessert fruits.
Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a while. After the waiter finished speaking, he asked: Since it was a gift to the emperor, why not put it in the tribute?
Qiu Yuezhi said: That turned into an ordinary silk satin.It took me a long time to embroider.
It makes sense.Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
Qiu Yuezhi asked: Have you ever met the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Gaoxu said: You can often see it during the morning court.
Qiu Yuezhi looked at Maori carefully and said softly: What does the emperor look like?
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered some of the things he had talked to Guo Wei when he was newly married.
He looked embarrassed: This... the minister doesn't want to discuss the appearance of the emperor.The emperor is very majestic, with a beautiful face, which makes people afraid, respect and fear.An official like me dare not say anything.
His words are very subtle, but Qiuyue should understand the meaning of being full of beard and being scared when she looks at it.Sure enough, she showed a complicated expression, a little dazzled.
When she came to her senses, she smiled politely again, but it was a bit like a bitter smile.
Zhu Gaoxu saw it and whispered: The emperor can carry a tripod at the age of ten. The emperor has personally fought for Mongolia in the north and Annan in the south, and is invincible, which is different from ordinary people.
Qiu Yuezhi murmured: It doesn’t matter what, I should go back to Japan.We have been in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and the emperor should not be interested in me.
Zhu Gaoxu said: What if the emperor remembered it one day?
Qiu Yuezhi smiled bitterly and said: That is also my duty.My responsibility is to serve the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and strive to be favored; so that when Qiu Yuezhi and Ouchi need help, the emperor can provide help for my dedicated service.The Emperor of Ming Dynasty needed the Danei clan and Qiu Yue clan as alliances, and could also contact me.
Cough cough... Maori coughed twice.Qiuyue immediately glanced at Maori, and saw that Maori's face was not facing her side, she quietly rolled her eyes at Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Miss Qiuyue is beautiful and wise, and her mind is very clear. There is nothing wrong with thinking like this. Maybe I can find an opportunity to ask the eunuchs in the palace to recommend Miss Qiuyue’s beauty to the emperor.
Maori seemed to be interested and asked: I am so rude, what level is the doctor of the Ministry of Rites?
Zhu Gaoxu said: He is a civil servant who is not big or small, but I know Cao Fu, the young supervisor of the Sili Supervisor, who is white and fat, with a round face.
I seem to have seen it.Qiu Yuezhi said in surprise.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: It’s better to see it, and I will recommend it to you then.
He went to Ma Enhui's Yàn Que Lake residence in the morning.Ma Enhui lives there and may feel deserted during the festival; Zhu Gaoxu went to visit her in person today, and she was indeed very surprised and relieved.
