Chapter 45 The Style of the Tang people (Part 2)

The woman also had white powder on her face, but there were two pieces of swallow branches on her cheeks (the Han Dynasty saying of rouge). Her whole image looked like a modern Japanese geisha. This outfit was the makeup method of Chinese ladies in the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin people called it "red makeup decoration".

The lady came to the tea pavilion and the person in the first seat gave up the seat. The Fujian monk introduced the lady to Zhao Xing, but Zhao Xing was like a passing cloud and mist, and he didn't remember the other party's name at all. It was vague. This person seemed to be a woman named "A certain palace". With this title, it means that the other party was a person in the Japanese palace.

The noble lady said a few words in a chirping voice. The Japanese called this way of speaking "Heyin", which was the way the royal family spoke. The man who was originally sitting in the first seat quickly translated: "I heard that you are a disciple of Mr. Su, and brought the new work of the bachelor. Please submit it."

Zhao Xing pretended not to understand the other party's words, and he grabbed the monk and asked in a low voice: "Is this the princess or the queen?"

The Japanese senior officials changed their expressions towards Zhao Xing's arrogance, but the noble lady nodded with admiring eyes and said a few more times. The monk hurriedly said in a low voice: "Don't be arrogant, this is the Akiharu Palace on the side of the Guanbai Fujiwara family. She just said: A bachelor is so arrogant, so he should have a arrogant disciple... She forgives your offense, and she would not apologize to the other party."

Zhao Xing grinned - it turned out that he was not from the palace, but Guan Bai's concubine, and the most powerful person in Japan now is the founder of the Kamakura Shogunate, the Genyoshi family!

Although the Japanese Emperor called himself emperor behind closed doors, he was very respectful to the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the Japanese were a firm vassal state of the Song people, at least even stronger than the Goryeo people.

Things in the world are impermanent, who would have thought that the once cruel Japanese were so obediently crawling at the feet of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Xing is now in it, feeling like he is like a dream.

At this time, a Song Dynasty person did not need to bow to the Japanese emperor. The noble lady just explained Zhao Xing's behavior, which was actually a way to find a way out. If she came from the palace, then as a Song Dynasty citizen, she would salute to the king and princess of her friendly country, which was in line with the national foreign policy... However, she was just the side room of the shogunate general, so whether Zhao Xing would salute him depends entirely on his own consciousness.

Zhao Xing didn't know that the Fujiwara clan had been in charge of the government for 200 years and was now the most powerful person in Japan. Sending such a side room to greet him was given... Su Shi behind him was very proud of his face. But... even if Zhao Xing knew, he only cared about the thickness of his wallet to the other party.

And he didn't know that no one in China remembers Su Dongpo's birthday, but the Japanese remember it very clearly. Every year, every year, they hold a "Shousu Meeting" to celebrate Su Dongpo's birthday, and this custom has been maintained until modern times.

Zhao Xing waved to Cheng Shuang to deliver his package, and carefully took out a few plates from it - plates printed with Su Shi's poems.

"I have brought the new words of the teacher, but this time it's a bit special. The new words of the teacher are not written on paper, but now, they are written on the plate. This is called the 'poetry and painting plate', which is a decoration..."

The lady picked up the plate with poems printed on it. A palace servant beside her dragged a long speech and read the poem on the plate with a simplicity: "The world is a big dream, and life is a new cooler..."

There was a sigh of tsk in the house, and the noble lady also sighed: "The thoughts of the people of the Celestial Empire are really admirable. The poems of the scholars are printed on the plate... Oh, every day when you wake up, you can get up by reading such beautiful poems. It is really the best enjoyment in the world!"

"The world's number one! The world's number one!" The room was full of congratulations.

The lady tasted it for a long time and asked, "How much do you plan to sell this thing?"

When the monk was translating, Zhao Xing stared at the noble lady's skirt. The skirt was covered with birds and trees, and the colors were very bright. Zhao Xing wondered in his mind: What ink did the painter use to color the silk?

"Not selling!" Zhao Xing replied proudly: "Only give it to those who know how to appreciate it! How much it is worth is up to the recipient to decide."

Why not sell it? Cultural supplies, spiritual chicken soup, saying that it is sold, vulgar! Gifting, so elegant! Whoever gets the poem in the plate feels glorious...

Wait, it is called "recitation" with come and go. I will give you something, your "return gift". The value of the return gift represents your measurement of the value of this elegant object. If you don't think about it, look, a person who is not elegant! Who dares to snatch such a reputation?!

In this way, its value is more valuable than simply selling! Because it has got rid of its commodity identity...

Before the lady could answer, a samurai dressed in quickly and reported in panic: "The fight started, the fight started, and the Kiyohara clan of Muo's Kiyohara coaxed..."

On this day, Japan, which had just ended shortly after the "First Nine Years War", fell into the "First Three Years War". The continuous war greatly boosted the power of the Genji Samurai Sect. Then, the Kamakura Shogunate of the Genji Samurai opened, and Japan entered the "Bushido" world from then on.

The lady put down the plate in her hand and lamented: "It's war again... the world is a big dream, life has been a few new coolies - war is coming again!"

Lord Sugawara, who was originally sitting in the first seat, spoke out and suggested: "At this time, the court should send an envoy to the Genji Yoshikaya for help from the envoy of the Prosecutor. If possible, please ask the court to appoint the Yoshikaya as Murooshi to quell the war."

The lady turned her eyes to the plate: "As long as the war, can you still walk through the road of Kanto?...Oh...Oh!"

Seeing the plate, the lady's eyes lit up and turned her eyes to Zhao Xing: "If a student from China comes to our country alone, there must be a way to escort our envoy to Kanto?"

Zhao Xing's expression did not change at all - no, he seemed to be a little disapproving, and he replied briefly: "Give me a map, I can do it!"

It was a trivial matter to escort the envoy to Kanto. It was indeed dangerous to walk by land, but Zhao Xing had a boat. He took this opportunity to get the map of Japan. From then on, Japan was an unguarded country for him - an island country with a long coastline, and could not stop him from communicating.

Besides, who is Genji? Genji will soon become the most powerful person in Japan. After he rises, the high-ranking officials here are just a group of dead bones in a tomb. Using the identity of an envoy to protect him, he will have a good relationship with this powerful person. This is a great gift given to him by the Japanese in an ignorant state!

Do it, why not do it!

The lady smiled, as if she was asking "What else is needed".

Zhao Xing was shameless enough, and he answered meaningfully: "The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!"

If you spend money, I will build relationships - I will bully you, Japanese people don’t understand modern public relations, and you must thank me deeply! How happy!
