Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Who is Ping Qingsheng?That is the protagonist of "The Tale of the Heike", a generation of heroes at the end of the Heian period.Not only that, Taira Kiyomori defeated Genji in the Heiji Rebellion, took control of the Dongying regime, and was the originator of the samurai regime.

As the first samurai in power in Japan, Ping Qingsheng controlled half of the country. It is said that he actively carried out trade with the Song Dynasty in order to accumulate a lot of wealth.

This heroic young man in front of him is Ping Qingsheng's father?

Ximen Qing smiled slightly, looked Ping Zhongsheng up and down, had his own plan ahead, Ping Qingsheng... Hehe, just give me a break.

Next to him, Tokichiro Kinoshita was in a very responsible mood. He himself was no longer the old image, and he became much more confident; but he didn't expect that Hira Tadamori didn't recognize himself!

Flashing out from behind Ximen Qing, Kinoshita Tokichiro coughed lightly, and interpreted Hira Tadamori's words, fulfilling his responsibility as an interpreter.

Then Tokichiro Kinoshita revealed his identity: "The villain is Tokichiro Kinoshita, the interpreter of the Song Dynasty Envoy Corps."

A trace of doubt flashed in Hira Tadamori's eyes. The name Fujikichiro did not attract his deliberate attention, but the thin, monkey-like figure reminded him of something.

On that rainy night two years ago, when Tadamori Hira and his colleagues returned to their residence under umbrellas after drinking, they saw that monkey-like guy lying under the window of his younger sister Yuko, sneaking around, not knowing what he was going to do.

Hira Tadamori, who had already drunk a lot, and his colleagues pulled the monkey-like guy down under the cherry blossom tree in the yard, and with a bit of drunkenness, he drew out his sword to behead the monkey-like guy.

At the last moment, Ping Yuko suddenly opened the window to intercede for this guy.

Ping Zhongsheng still remembered that at that time he felt that he had lost face, so he beat up that monkey-like guy and drove him out.

The monkey-like interpreter in front of him is obviously from Dongying, but could he be the pariah from that night?

Facing Kinoshita Tokichiro, who was neatly dressed and translating in an orderly manner, Hira Tadamori did not dare to confirm.

However, he felt that the name Kinoshita was lacking, as if he had never heard of it before, maybe it was more compatible with monkeys!

"What news does Second Lieutenant Ping want to bring to this envoy?" Ximen Qing threw a question through Kinoshita Tokichiro.

Only then did Ping Zhongsheng get rid of his thoughts, and replied: "The big wedding is coming soon, and His Majesty is very pleased that Lord Ximen can arrive; Master Quan Nayan Fujiwara hopes that Lord Ximen can prepare a suitable gift for today. Congratulations."

"Gift? Appropriate?" Ximen Qing touched Lei Gongshi, and after getting this information from Kinoshita Tokichiro, he pondered for a while, as if he was trying to understand the meaning behind this information.

Hira Tadamori lowered his head slightly, and secretly looked at Tokichiro Kinoshita from the corner of his eye.

This guy is really familiar!There should not be many people who look like monkeys in the world?

"I see." Ximen Qing tapped on the table lightly and said with a smile: "Please go back and tell Mr. Fujiwara, I will present the most suitable gift when the time comes."

Hira Tadamori got the affirmation from Kinoshita Tokichiro, and then saluted: "Then... I will take my leave."

"Wait a minute." Ximen Qing suddenly called Ping Zhongsheng who was about to get up: "Is there a younger sister in your family?"

Hira Tadamori did not understand Ximenqing's question, but he still understood the gestures. He stopped and tilted his head, waiting for Kinoshita Tokichiro to interpret.

Tokichiro Kinoshita was dumbfounded, what does my master mean by this?After all, Ping Zhongsheng didn't recognize him, so why did he insist on reminding him?

"According to the translation." Ximen Qing whispered to the monkey: "If you dare to miss a word, be careful with your head!"

Kinoshita Tokichiro shrank his neck in fright. This situation was very similar to a frightened macaque, and Hira Tadamori who was waiting on the side almost stopped laughing.

"My master asked if you have a younger sister..."

Tokichiro Kinoshita translated helplessly, and it was completely impossible to escape Ximen Qing's detection; all he could do now was to look at Ximen Qing's expression eagerly, waiting for his master to give him a wink, and tell the next step what happens.

But Ximen Qing didn't look at him at all, but put all his attention on Ping Zhongsheng.

Ping Zhongsheng was also very surprised. Why would this Lord Ximen ask such a question? After thinking about it, he still answered honestly: "But there is a younger sister, Yuko, who is a widow at home."

When the name Yuko appeared, Tokichiro Kinoshita felt a hard knock somewhere in his heart, and couldn't help trembling slightly.

I haven't seen you for two years, Yuko, how are you?

After Ximenqing listened to the interpretation, he gave Kinoshita Tokichiro a blank look, this good-for-nothing monkey, why is he shaking!

Immediately afterwards, Ximen Qing asked again: "Yuko is a widow at such a young age...It's a pity, Mr. Second Lieutenant, what do you think of my interpreter Kinoshita Tokichiro?"

This time, Fujikichiro quickly translated the words to Hira Tadamori, and of course made a look of embarrassment, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart.

It turns out that the master meant to propose marriage face to face!

But Fujikichiro's translation turned into a self-recommendation, which made Hira Tadamori look a little dignified.

Ping Yuko has been a widow all along, so there is no way to do it, but how can a marriage be decided so easily?

Ping Zhongsheng felt that he and the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty were strangers, so how could he know the situation in his own home and make such a request?

The interpreter of the Song Dynasty envoy... In the end, he is just a petty official, not even an official. How can he be worthy of his own sister?

If his father, Ping Zhengsheng, heard about it, he might have turned his face and left right now?

But Ping Zhongsheng is not his father after all, he has been working in the Emperor's Imperial Palace, not as reckless as his father.

After careful consideration of the words, Ping Zhongsheng slowly replied: "Thank you, Lord Ximen, for your concern, but my younger sister, Ping Yuzi, is already a widow, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate?"

Kinoshita Tokichiro was a little discouraged, and interpreted the words to Ximen Qing; Ximen Qing smiled slightly: "A man and a woman are about the same age. According to the envoy, it would be perfect...It's better to let these two meet each other. On the one hand, if you don't even agree with this, it's obviously not giving me face."

After hearing this, Hira Tadamori was nervously thinking about how to respond. His father was far away in Tajima and could not give him guidance...

"Lord Ximen, I have to ask my father about this matter." Ping Zhongsheng finally found an excuse: "When my father returns to the capital, I will definitely ask my father."

Kinoshita Tokichiro faithfully performed the job of interpreting. He couldn't intervene in such a conversation, and he couldn't intervene. He knew that he had set a trap for Hira Tadamori in the questions raised by his master, step by step. He lured into a trap that had been prepared long ago.

"Hehe." Ximenqing took this excuse as if he hadn't heard it: "We have a custom in the Song Dynasty: first marry with your parents, and then marry with yourself. It must be the same here in Dongying? Besides, your father is not around, and you, the elder brother, are here. , there is a good saying: elder brother is like father, of course you can call the shots."

This set made Ping Zhongsheng dizzy. Although he knew that what Ximen Qing said was not entirely correct, it sounded so logical that it was impossible to refute it.

The saying that the eldest brother is like a father is actually the same in Dongying. Hira Tadamori has indeed taken care of his younger sister Hirayuko like a father in the past two years.

"Is there no way to refuse?"

Ping Zhongsheng was secretly anxious, and almost pinched his thigh, but if he didn't answer this question, he couldn't just throw up his sleeves and leave.

"Could it be because of Kinoshita Tokichiro's identity that you pushed back and forth?"

Ximen Qing finally threw out the most crucial sentence, Kinoshita Tokichiro also knew that this sentence was very important, and interpreted it word by word to Hira Tadashi, as if he was not talking about himself.

But Ping Zhongsheng was like a drowning man seeing a straw.

"That's right! Identity!" Ping Zhongsheng rejoiced secretly: "This reason is high-sounding, even this Master Ximen cannot avoid it."

"Although my father is only a branch of the Ping family, he is also an aristocrat after all." Ping Zhongsheng secretly thought he had a trick, and replied solemnly: "I don't know what the background of this interpreter is. If it is similar, then I will boldly agree for my father and arrange two If the younger sister is satisfied, I have nothing to say."

"Happy!" Ximen Qing laughed loudly, and then deliberately asked Kinoshita Tokichiro, "Tokichiro, what is your background? Tell this second lieutenant to do it."

Kinoshita Tokichirou was heartbroken. Ximenqing did say that he would be given an identity, a nobleman's status, but right now, although he is the interpreter of the envoy in name, he also bears the surname "Kinoshita", and strictly speaking, he is just a pariah. !

"Tell the truth." Ximen Qing reminded.

Kinoshita Tokichiro gritted his teeth and replied, "Second lieutenant envoy, the villain is a commoner."

When Ping Zhongsheng heard this monkey-like guy say this, it was like drinking iced sour plum soup in Xia Tian's mouth.

What civilians are not pariahs!

"Then, I have nothing to do with you." Ping Zhongsheng made a look of embarrassment: "In Japan, nobles and low...common people cannot intermarry."

"So that's how it is!" After hearing Fujikichiro's interpretation, Ximen Qing didn't get angry, but smiled: "Isn't this solved? As long as Fujikichiro is given a noble status, won't the marriage be settled? Hahahaha!"

Fujikichiro completed the simultaneous interpretation unexpectedly calmly.

Ping Zhongsheng also laughed twice: "Indeed, as long as you have a noble status, my father will not disagree."

"Very good, since that's the case, you and I will swear by high-fiving." Ximen Qing put away his smile, and suddenly made a request: "Believe it or not, within a few months, Fujikichiro will have the status of a nobleman, and the surname Kinoshita will also have the same surname. It will be passed on.”

"it is good!"

Ping Zhongsheng also readily agreed, anyway, it's something that can't be done, so what about high fives?

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

There were three clear high-fives in the living room...
