my wife is a consul

Chapter 376
Beside the clear stream at the west end of the town, some children were having fun playing.

There are rubber band jumpers, and Lu Ming has only seen them in old TV dramas. It is two children stretching rubber bands at each end, and a few children in the middle jump.

The height of the rubber band began to hang on the knees, and then gradually increased, and the children who could not jump were gradually eliminated.

Now, the rubber band has been lifted above the head by the children on one side, and the arms are stretched out. The children who were playing could not jump so high.

Of the two little figures who were still dancing with rubber bands hooked, only the big and small fruits were left.

The children next to him looked on adoringly and applauded.

Seeing the big and small fruits, it's like a martial arts movie. Every time he jumps up with his back, the rubber bands are hooked down with the toes, and the feet are quickly staggered and hooked a few times, the rubber bands bounce quickly, and then, another round of repeated movements.

It seems that the two little guys can keep jumping like this.

Although the two of them are clothed in cloth and trousers, the picturesque faces of the two of them have also turned into the usual delicate girls, but their graceful and small figures cannot be concealed. At this time, they are dancing with elastic ropes very neatly, as if they are dancing some kind of graceful dance. , the posture is extremely pleasing to the eye.

The children were all stunned and shouted loudly from time to time.

Lu Ming sat by the creek, and Ashikaga Erika sat beside him. Looking at the children jumping the rubber band rope, Lu Ming noticed that for the first time, Erika had a trace of longing in her brows.

Professor Song was accompanied by a small team leader to deal with the affairs of the town. Of course, he was only there to give suggestions for reference only.

Lu Ming wandered around and came to the west end of the town where the children gathered to play.

Perhaps because of Erika's relationship, the children did not run away. Some stayed behind. They were very curious about this colorful girl who had never seen it from another world. They all looked at it from a distance. The eyes of the children were the purest. , usually like and yearn for beautiful things.

If they used to live in a black and white world, this is the first time they have seen a picture of a color world.

And as Xiaoguo played with them, the number of children gradually increased.

Lu Ming was very comfortable stepping on the clear stream with his feet at this time. Maybe it was because of the environment that he became more childlike. He glanced at Erika and said, "Shall we go down to catch fish?" Then he shook his head, "Little fish How innocent? Don’t disturb them, eat fish and meat, if you want me to say, you have to give them a good time.”

"Yes." Erika turned her head, her eyes turned away from the children skipping rope, and facing Lu Ming, her expression became numb again.

Lu Ming said with a smile: "After walking for a day, my feet should be tired. You see, like me, it's very refreshing. The water is cool, and it flows over your feet. It's very comfortable!"

Erika didn't seem to want to do this very much, but after hearing what Lu Ming said, she went to untie the clogs and snow-white foot bags, and said softly, "Yes, master."

In Yingzhou, the official wife has the word "master" for her husband's respect, let alone a concubine's room.

Although Lu Ming has long been numb to the title of master, but for some reason, this beautiful girl in kimono who is as beautiful as walking out of a manga gently calls "Master", even though her soft singing does not have a trace of emotional fluctuations in it , but there was still a slight tremor in my heart, and there was a strange feeling.

Seeing that Erika folded the snow-white foot bag neatly and placed it beside her together with the wooden clogs, revealing a pair of pure white, delicate and crystal-clear little snow feet, those snow feet without a trace of blemish, just like beautiful curves carved out of meticulous care, At this time, slowly dipping into the clear stream water is simply a beautiful picture.

Lu Ming coughed and turned his eyes away.

Looking at the lush green fields in the distance, Lu Ming asked casually: "Ashikaga, this is a very noble surname in Yingzhou. Not long ago, General Yamamoto staged a coup to overthrow the ruling Guan Bai, who was also Ashikaga, um, called Ashikaga Yoshitaka, right? ?”

But she didn't want to, Ashikaga Erika's body trembled slightly, she was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "Ashikaga Yoshitaka is the grandfather of the slave girl."

Ok?Lu Ming turned his head and looked at her in surprise. This was really unexpected, even Yoshiko Asaba never said it.

But he didn't think that she came from such a prominent family background.

Ashikaga Kanbaro is an out-and-out royalist, extremely loyal to the queen, and dreams of restoring the queen's power.

As a result, the big and small lords of Japan were angered, and the most powerful lord group, the Kansai Group, was led by Yamamoto Yu.

It launched a coup, put Ashikaga Yoshitaka in prison, and all important members of the Ashikaga family were arrested.

On the other hand, Yamamoto took over as the prime minister, learning from the Kingdom of Gryffinny, and governing as prime minister.

Traditionally, the ruling minister of Japan is called Guan Bai.

Of course, the actual official position of Guan Bai has a different meaning in this world, everything is automatically converted by Lu Ming into words that he is more familiar with.

Lu Ming didn't know too much about Dongpu, and only had a superficial understanding. After all, he felt that he was still far away from his own circle.

It never occurred to him that Guan Bai's granddaughter suddenly became his concubine.

That's right, such a bloodline will produce such a beautiful embryo.

Yoshiko Asaba did it on purpose, right?She never told herself her real identity, just because she was afraid that she would get into trouble and stay away?
But having said that, former Guanbai's granddaughter is also stunning, how could she fall into the hands of Asaba Nagamasa and Asaba Yoshiko?And used to win over the warlords in the Northern Territory?

Dongying people recognize blood very much, how could they accept this?Would you rather execute this Erika than do something like this?
Here, I'm afraid there are many twists and turns.

Thinking about it, he said casually: "Oh, in this case, I can't help much. I thought, I heard Mrs. Asahi said that your family is suffering, and see if I can save them! I can only see later!" , said it unconsciously.

After finishing speaking, Lu Ming was startled and shook his head. The news was so weird that he was greatly surprised, that's why he said these words unknowingly.

In the past, I basically did more and said less. Except in court, I seldom talked much, let alone things that could not be done.

Ashikaga Erika was stunned, looking at Lu Ming, her starry eyes changed slightly for the first time.

"During the Luodu incident, the slave girl was playing in the East China Sea... Grandpa and father treated me very well, I, I am very free..." Ashikaga Erika lowered her head sadly.

After a while, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes, "When I heard the news of the Luodu incident, Jingzi..., Jingzi is like my own sister, who has been by my side since childhood."

Lu Ming nodded slightly, just like the personal servant girl of the Central Continent.

"Jingzi took me to change clothes and take refuge in the north. She said that she has trusted relatives in the northern region who can go to her."

"But, when we arrived in Xin'an, we were caught..."

"We were under house arrest together, and no one questioned me, but Jingzi was taken away many times. Later, she said that the person who arrested us was not on the same mind with anyone. She had a way to prevent me from being sent back to Luodu. , Later, I never saw her again... the one who took me away became Sister Fangzi."

"Sister Fangzi brought a letter from Jingzi to persuade me... Sister Fangzi also said that if I can marry a very powerful person from Central Continent and please him, maybe I can help grandpa, father and the others... ..."

Speaking of this, Ashikaga Erika's soft voice stopped abruptly, and her delicate face showed even more panic.

It's been a long time, I haven't talked to anyone, and my mind is agitated, and as I talk, I say all these things that shouldn't be said.

Lu Ming laughed in his heart, but his face was helpless: "This is too bad. I have no power or influence. I am just a spy chief in a small place. I'm afraid I can't help a little bit. Are you very disappointed?"

"No, no..." Ashikaga Erika was on the verge of tears, and she didn't know how to explain it. She suddenly stood up from the water, knelt in front of Lu Ming, and chattered in desperation. Dongying language should be a confession, the tone of Dongying language is very beautiful, and its soft voice has an indescribably sweet meaning, even if it may be saying that a sinner should be cut to pieces.

Looking at her appearance, and thinking about her experience and current mood, Lu Ming sighed and said, "It's okay, I was just joking with you."

After thinking for a while, I said, "I can't help you for the time being, but if your maid, Jingzi, is still in Xin'an, I might be able to find it for you, but you have to be mentally prepared, maybe she betrayed..." No Going on, I can't bear to expose some cruel truths. After all, Erika's life is miserable enough.

"No, no..." Erika shook her head, "I asked Sister Yoshiko, I want to see Kyoko, Sister Yoshiko said, Kyoko, Kyoko is serving a disgusting man for me..." Erika was sad He lowered his head, "That's why, that person reported to Luodu, saying that I had been ruined by many people, and I had, what kind of disease... The people in Luodu stopped paying attention to me..."

"Because of me, Xin'an also executed many people... It was because of me that I was wronged..."

Erika wiped her tearful eyes, "I, I really deserve to die..."

Lu Ming is helpless, what is this little brain thinking about? It's because you were wronged. If you think about it, it's just a dog-eat-dog from Japan's intelligence agents, who took the opportunity to eradicate dissidents. Those who can take the blame for this kind of scapegoat know what kind of virtue they usually have, for sure Most have previous convictions.

Because of you, probably a lot of scum deserved it.

But you can't say that, Lu Ming coughed, "So, you have to work harder, keep alive, so that they won't lose their lives in vain."

Erika lowered her head, "Yes, sister Yoshiko said the same! So, I will work hard!"

Lu Ming smiled: "Then I will work hard and work hard to climb up. I hope that one day, I can rescue your family!"

Erika was stunned, and looked at Lu Ming with bright starry eyes, her beautiful face was touched slightly.

At this moment, Lu Ming looked at the path over there, and then smiled, "Okay, put on your shoes and socks, someone is coming!"

……

The few people who came in a hurry were led by Squire Ma.

Squire Ma is in his 40s, with a gentle and calm demeanor. He went to college in the provincial capital. After returning to his hometown, he changed the tradition of his parents. Instead, he ran a school and did good deeds. department store.

Ten years ago, he even donated money to buy a title of "Village Gentleman".

At that time, Ren Zhonglin, the governor of the province, was keen to sell these names, but except in the provincial capital, these names did not play any protective role anywhere, and they had no privileges, and gradually no one cared about them.

Although Squire Ma's department stores, factories, and fields were all robbed, he still has some prestige after all, and those soldiers didn't make it too difficult for him. The family's life is quite carefree. In addition to savings, he was also given the title of the town's education committee member. head.

He also tried his best to maintain the elementary school he opened in the town, and it has not closed down until now.

Speaking of it, this can really be called a village sage who benefits the neighbors.

At the beginning, the new mayor of this town agreed to return part of his land, which was also because of this, and he admired him very much.

"Commissioner Zhang, I heard you are here!" As he came closer, Squire Ma took off his top hat and bowed slightly. Then he saw Ashikaga Erika who was standing behind Lu Ming, his eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly turned away. open eyes.

Lu Ming smiled: "I should visit, but the scenery here is so beautiful that I forget my form for a while, and it's been a while."

Seeing that the commissioner is so polite, Squire Ma is a little relieved, but the real spy chiefs are mostly smiling tigers, and those vicious ones are usually just little ones at the executive level.

"The food at my villain's house is ready. I don't know if I have the honor to invite the commissioner to condescend to the humble house. There are also guest rooms, small courtyards, and rural places prepared for you. If there is anything you don't like, please tell Commissioner Zhang." Squire Ma Very humble, doing the gesture of please.

Lu Ming smiled, "Okay, sorry to bother you, then, shall we go and have a look?"

There were a few people behind Ma Xiangshen, and some people showed joy. The biggest spy chief in Nanping, if he came to the master's mansion for dinner and overnight, what would be so scary?Those mobs are former local ruffians and idlers who have nothing to do, dare to take the opportunity to bully the master?
Only Squire Ma, with undiminished worry in his eyes, has seen many great things in the world. How can things in the world be so simple?
