Chapter 40: Slaughtering that violates the criminal law (Part 2)
The happiness of the Japanese was that simple. Zhao Xing invited them to eat meat several times. The two Japanese were moved, but in the end they only dipped in vegetable soup and ate it intoxicating...
When Zhao Xing picked up the plate, the two Japanese immediately stopped eating. They carefully placed the food in the place, ran to the stove, and quickly cleaned up the remains of the remains left by Zhao Xing.
The two Japanese born to the servant were very professional in cleaning. After a while, the yard was neatly cleaned up, and even the blood-stained soil was carefully shoveled away, poured into the river, and replaced with new soil mats... After their work was over, the yard was clean, leaving only the red-hot stew pot, and reminding Zhao Xing: I had killed the cows here just now and cooked them.
The Japanese were busy, and Zhao Xing’s eyes were much softer when he looked at them. When the Japanese picked up their food again, Zhao Xing also slowly walked up to them with a plate, sat down, and asked curiously: “What are the names of you two?”
As soon as Zhao Xing asked, the two Japanese immediately put the plate aside, knelt on the ground, crawled against the ground, and replied: "Shangguo Gongshi, the untouchables have no surnames or names, and they can be called whatever they want."
After a few conversations, Zhao Xing found that these two Japanese were not simple. They were actually servants sent by the Japanese royal family. The current Japanese emperor is an absolute "fan" of Su Dongpo. He sent several servants to squat in Bianliang City and stay by Su Dongpo's side. Whenever Su Shi's new poems appeared, they might buy manuscripts. If they failed to buy, they would quickly copy them and send them back to China by boat.
At that time, every time when Japan received a new poem about Dongpo, it would hold a grand poetry meeting to read Su Dongpo's new works just like it was obtained during the Cultural Revolution. The original works of Su Dongpo were repeatedly war-torn in China, and most of the preserved works were in Japan (the collection of Lin Lan's family). The only omission was "Huangzhou Cold Food Post".
Even the "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" did not get rid of the Japanese's covetousness. The Japanese thought about this letter for a thousand years, and finally waited until the Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Old Summer Palace, the letter was scattered among the people and was purchased by the Japanese at a high price.
During the Tokyo bombing, a bomb was caught in the home of the person who collected the "Huangzhou Cold Food Post". He rushed into the sea of fire and rescued nothing, so he carried the "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" out. After learning about his behavior, the Japanese praised him very much and believed that his behavior was worth it - "Even if half of Japan was blown up, the "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" still exists, it is worth it."
At this time, most of the Japanese people had no names or surnames. Having a name means that he became a nobleman and was called "daming" - meaning a great man with a name. Zhao Xing didn't know that one of the two Japanese people eventually left a name in history - because the poems written by Su Dongpo were very Zen-like, after returning to China, he thought he had realized the truth, so he became a monk at Tofukuji Temple in Japan and called himself "dao".
Zhao Xing looked at the two humble Japanese and said casually: "Just call me Busan and Busan."
He then assigned to the smart Japanese man, "You are just not three."
This era was when the Japanese respected the Central Plains court the most. They paid tribute and their respectful attitude came from the heart. Among all the Song people, they admired Su Dongpo's talent the most. Zhao Xing is now a disciple of Su Dongpo. Although the name he gave was teasing, the two Japanese were still moved by the act of giving names to the tributes of the country.
"We are the untouchables, and we were given names to famous people in the country... I am moved, sir, please allow us to thank you." The two of them excitedly performed a complete set of greetings, kneeling, kowtowing, and singing promises...
When they were in a state of calmness, Zhao Xing asked inadvertently: "Where did you two go a few days ago?"
Busan lay on the ground and replied: "We were entrusted by Mr. Su to Qiantang and gave the recent manuscripts of the bachelor's poems to Chen Zhubu, Qiantang. After waiting for a few days, Lord Chen Shizhong had compiled and published the manuscripts of the bachelor's poems, and we brought the sample of the book to the bachelor."
Chen Shizhong, the chief clerk of Qiantang, was also implicated in the "Wutai Poetry Case" because of "occasionally related people", but he "did not mind the past" at all. He repeatedly took the initiative to write letters to Su Shi, and enthusiastically collected Su Shi's poems and essays, and compiled his works in Mizhou and Xuzhou into two collections "Chaoran" and "Huanglou". The 1084 printing versions of these two manuscripts were collected by the Japanese. People who study Chinese printing history will go to Japan to see this collection of Su Shi's poems in "Lin Lan's Collection".
"Oh, then, you two will become followers again next?"
"Follower" is a very strange word. The two Japanese people turned their heads several times before they realized the meaning of this sentence. They answered Zhao Xing's words: "No, the bachelor's new book has been released, and the whole country is looking forward to it. We must send this new book back to China as soon as possible, so we are here to say goodbye."
Just leave like this? - I don’t mention the publishing fee and manuscript fee? I just pat my butt and plan to leave. I’m too bullying.
Zhao Xing's eyes were unaware of it, his face was filled with real worries, and he sighed, "Oh, the bachelor's hard work-I had no meal, and there were only two buns of steamed buns left in my pocket... Well, when you returned to China, were you interested in getting the goods?"
Zhao Xing's previous sentence made both Japanese people cry, but Zhao Xing's second half made them lose their feet like a tall building - what? We have just prepared the sorrow, why did he ask about what he didn't want to do?
The two Japanese still answered sincerely: "Some... we went out for more than a year, and the expenses were all based on the owner of the family. When we go back this time, we must bring some gifts and thank the owner for their cultivation."
Two honest people!
After Zhao Xing sighed, he immediately asked: "What I mean is that you two are interested in bringing some private goods to yourself?"
The two Japanese looked at each other, kowtowed together, and replied seriously: "They are all given by the master, and I really dare not have any personal gain."
