The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 117 Brother Yucai
After greeting Bai Xiuzhu, Minister Wu didn't say much with her. After all, she is Bai Xiongqi's younger sister, so there is still a layer of estrangement. The embassy, ​​he will help solve it.

Bai Xiuzhu thanked her a few times, then sat on the sofa and waited.

There is also a maid from the embassy next to him.

"Brother Chuchu, during my stay in Dongying these days, I also want to make some friends. I wonder if Brother Chuchu can introduce one or two for me."

Bai Xiongqi put down the newspaper and pondered.

After returning to China, everything will be constrained, and it is a bit too obvious to walk around the relationship.

But in Dongpu, the scruples in this regard are not so deep.

Nowadays, there are many celebrities who are in Japan, and they are all inextricably linked with the country...

The circle of scholars is very small!
Especially high society!
Making friends with one or two is also good for his official career!

The embassy in Japan has the information, addresses, etc. of these celebrities.

It couldn't be more convenient.

"It just so happens that the embassy will hold a ball two days later and invite celebrities. If Brother Boyan is interested, I will write an invitation to Brother Boyan later."

"I hope Brother Boyan will show you his face..."

Minister Wu smiled when he heard the words, he knew what Bai Xiongqi was planning, but he didn't mind selling Bai Xiongqi's face, anyway, the embassy would hold regular gatherings to connect with each other, which would be of great benefit matter.

Serving as a minister abroad can not only increase your resume, but also get through many relationships.

Bai Xiongqi needs qualifications, qualifications, contacts and contacts, so it looks like he has a bright future.

"Where is it!"

"I want to thank you..."

Bai Xiong nodded his head, then got up, called Bai Xiuzhu, and prepared to leave together.

When he put the newspaper in its place, he also paid attention to the "Bai Meihe" mentioned repeatedly in the headlines of these newspapers, and said it silently several times in his mind, remembering the name.

It's just that he didn't ask Minister Wu about some specific things.

If you have time in Japan, you will definitely get to know each other.

……

After two days,
Embassy in Japan, dance party.

Bai Gui got out of the carriage, and after tipping the coachman as usual, he handed over the invitation to the waiter, who took him to the ballroom.

He is in the limelight now, and he has a certain reputation in Dongpu, so the invitation was sent to Yigao two days ago.

"Meihe, you are here, hurry up and take your seat."

"This time you praised our country, there was a telegram from Yanjing, and a reward was also given. I think you have studied hard and never forgotten your mother country. I will give you a great service and reward you with [-] yen. After a few days, the bonus It will be here..."

"And the allowance that stopped you a few days ago will also be issued."

As soon as he entered the ballroom, Minister Wu greeted him, shook hands and said.

"It is still thanks to the teaching and support of the Minister to Meihe that I can achieve today's achievements..."

See people talking, see ghosts talking.

Bai Gui has already practiced it.

"Now there are many loyal readers of Meihe in Yanjing. I don't know if Meihe brought the unpublished manuscript before coming to the embassy, ​​so I can have a quick look at it..."

Minister Wu had some estrangement with Bai Gui because of the braid cutting a few days ago, so he tried to say something nice.

This sentence is false, just flattery.

When he read the Great Qin Empire novel written by Bai Gui, he just read it briefly.

Not a loyal reader.

After speaking a few more words with Minister Wu, Bai Gui had already entered the ballroom.

He was led to the rest area by the waiter.

This time, only some celebrities who travel to Japan in Tokyo are invited.

Basically, Bai Gui didn't know each other, and he didn't have the time or opportunity to do so. He came this time to take this opportunity to get to know more.

It's just that after he turned around, he was a little disappointed.

There are no characters in his memory.

Most of the famous celebrities in Japan in later generations were forced to flee to Dongying because of the reform, such as Liang Rengong, President Cai, Mr. Taiyan, etc. They may have some connections with the embassy in Japan, but obviously in this It is impossible to appear at the banquet...

However, some unknown figures in history do not mean that their social status at that time was lower than that of famous figures in later generations!
If you can make friends, try to make friends.

Who knows when this connection will come in handy.

Be prepared!

After a few face-to-face meetings and exchanging business cards, Bai Gui retreated to where he was sitting just now and started to eat some snacks.

Although the embassy is short of funds, it is for a country.

Compared with the life of ordinary people at the bottom, it is undoubtedly much more luxurious.For example, some Western-style snacks on the dining table are worth more than ten yen, which is enough for the entire expenditure of an ordinary family in Japan for several months.

He had just taken a few bites when he saw a short, round-faced young man in long gown walking towards him with a book under his ribs.

Taking a closer look, the young man's complexion is unhealthy, but his eyes are bright and energetic.

It seems a bit out of place with the celebrities of the ballroom.

Quite shabby.

"Is it Mr. Bai in the newspaper?"

The man greeted him.

Bai Gui nodded, stood up, and shook hands with this person. His appearance was somewhat familiar in his memory, but he couldn't remember it.

"Bai Guibai Meihe, may I ask who you are?"

He communicates in Chinese.

Whether you are from Dongying or not, you will have some judgments after living in Dongying for a long time, and your living habits and behaviors are very different.For example, Dongying people are used to sitting on their knees, and their leg shape is somewhat different from that of Chinese people.

Besides, the person in front of him is a long gown, so it is easier to identify it, and he can tell it at a glance.

"My surname is Lu, and my name is Yucai."

Seeing Bai Gui being so polite to him, Brother Xun was slightly taken aback.After he dropped out of Sendai Medical College, he came to Tokyo and stopped studying. He has been engaged in literary translation work, and his life is difficult.

But after many years, he has gained a certain reputation, so the embassy invited him to the banquet.

This time, I saw Bai Gui, Bai Meihe, who was on the headlines of major news newspapers, "Raising the country's prestige", so I developed a friendship, so I planned to go up to get to know him, but I didn't expect that Bai Gui was so polite to him. Courtesy...

Whether it is courtesy or not is easy to see!

"Yucai?"

Bai Gui was surprised, unexpectedly, at today's ball, he finally made friends with a famous big shot in later generations.

He took a closer look, um, it looked similar to the one in the book, except that he didn't have the beard on his lips, and he was younger. He was only 25 or six years old now, with a rounder face, and he looked quite cute.

The two sat down and chatted.

At first Brother Xun saw that Bai Gui was quite enthusiastic towards him, and he was a little awkward. After all, he admired Bai Gui a little bit. The influence is huge, and many people regard Bai Gui as a role model...

But after talking a few words, Brother Xun also let go of his guard.

"Mr. Fujino?"

Brother Xun made a sound in surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Fujino, my Japanese teacher Fujino Hachiroji asked me to entrust the letter. He has a younger brother named Fujino Yankuro..."

Bai Gui mentioned this on purpose, because he knew that it was Brother Xun's lifelong regret that he never saw Mr. Fujino again.
