But Xia Yi looked at the four-faced tea ceremony, and couldn't help asking: "You should know the origin of the tea ceremony in He Kingdom?"

The girl paused while making tea, looked at Xia Yi and nodded: "I know, it originated from the Celestial Dynasty."

"Then if you know, forget it, it's fine."

"It's okay, student Xia Yi, if you have anything to say, just say it.

It’s okay to drink tea and chat anyway.”

""

Listening to the girl's words, Xia Yi looked at her meticulous movements as she said, "I don't intend to insult the tea ceremony in your country, but don't you think this kind of tea ceremony looks contrived? People in our country drink tea as a taste It is the five flavors in tea, cleansing the six roots of the mundane world, leaving only the aftertaste of the lips and teeth.

But with all due respect to your matcha tea, your movements are good-looking, but you don’t drink tea at the end, it’s about your mood, but your meticulous tea ceremony lacks a sense of freedom and invisibility. Putting a layer of shackles on the guests, can you really taste the tea?" What Xia Yi said is actually a bit heavy, but he really thinks so. The inventor of the Japanese tea ceremony had obsessive-compulsive disorder back then. It's awkward. When Erika heard what he said, a smile appeared on her face again: "Sure enough, it is the country of the former suzerain. I am afraid that only you who have been nurtured in this kind of cultural heritage since childhood can have such a casual mind." There will be.

Student Xia Yi, do you know that Heguo also produces tea?"

"Well, then what?"

"But our land is too barren, and there are not many places suitable for growing tea. The best environment in our country is not even comparable to an ordinary hill in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

What's ridiculous is that precisely because of the preciousness of these local teas, the royal family abandoned the mellow tea of ​​the Celestial Dynasty and chose their own tea.

Rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

The reason is...the face of the country.

And this is a modern thing.

In the past, we, who were called Ryukyu Wa people, worked even harder to get your tea.

But because it is too rare, we can only start localized planting.

But because the tea leaves are too bitter, there is no comparison with your country, so this matcha came into being.

Student Xia Yi, do you think we did something wrong?"

""

As soon as this question came out, Xia Yi's expression was stunned for a moment, and then slowly became: dignified.

This question is a little tricky.

This question seems to be talking about tea, but Xia Yi feels that, in fact, Eliyi is telling the essence of Heguo.

This question is hard to answer, if one is not done properly, if not done, it will become a Chinese investigator talking nonsense to the second daughter of the Tokugawa family and insulting the country.

So, Xia Yi thought about it and shook his head.

"Sorry, I don't know the answer to this question."

"I don't know, or I don't want to answer"

Eriyi personally offered Xia Yi this cup of matcha with all her heart in it, and then gracefully opened the box of snacks, from which she chose a red bean Daifuku, which is the most suitable for the first taste of matcha, and held it with her hands. Respecting the guest, he held it in front of Xia Yi.

"thanks."

After receiving Daifuku, he took a sip of matcha tea first.

Mouth full of bitterness.

After taking a bite of Daifuku, the sweetness replaces the mild aftertaste, and the sweetness spreads in the mouth.

Erika, on the other hand, picked up her teacup and chose a relatively elegant cherry blossom cake. After a sip of tea and a sip of snacks, she continued: "After the ancestors of my family made fortunes, they became the first generation of Zheng Yi Da General.

Xia Yijun, do you know that Mount Fuji does not belong to the emperor?"

"Uh"

It was the first time Xia Yi heard of it, and he showed a surprised look.

Erika smiled and said: "Mt. Fuji and the surrounding forests are said to be the residence of the gods.

But in fact, it is my family's territory.

The royal family will pay my family a large amount of rent every year to ensure that this historical attraction representing the country becomes an international symbol.

Doesn’t that sound amazing”

"A little bit.

But considering your country’s system, it’s understandable.”

"Yeah, in fact, maybe Xia Yijun doesn't know, one of the current international academic disputes in the He Kingdom is...whether it is a country with a constitutional monarchy or a republic.

It's still being discussed to this day.

There is a clear difference between the two, but Heguo has made common reservations.

So there has never been a definitive conclusion internationally.

But for our family, Heguo has always maintained its former essence."

"Nature"

Xia Yi couldn't help asking.

"Fifty-four years ago, the Tokugawa family discovered a historic site, which was a residence of Queen Yamatai Himiko.

In the archaeological discoveries, we found that as early as the Himiko era, Heguo and Guiguo had had contacts.

And Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms Weishu Dongyi Biography" also has a record of Queen Himiko.

And according to the clues of that historic site, we tracked down a historic site in Kyushu Island 45 years ago, and discovered the record that Xu Fu led [-] virgins and boys to the Kingdom of He in the Qin and Han Dynasties."

Xia Yi didn't understand why he mentioned history, but he still asked along the way: "And then?"

"This first lets us know that your country is actually correct about the so-called origin of the war that the academic circles have debated with China and your country.

According to the carbon element survey, Xu Fu's place is 26 years earlier than the earliest primitive cultural records found in our country.

In other words, when our ancestors were still ignorant, it was possible that you enlightened us."

"Uh"

Seeing the surprised Xia Yi, Erika smiled: "Of course, because of this history subversion, the Tokugawa family chose to hide it.

Xia Yijun, you are the first person from the Celestial Dynasty to know about this. "So what do you want to express?"

Faced with Xia Yi's questioning again, Hu Liyi was still unhurried: "Then, in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", Emperor Liu Xiu once bestowed a golden seal on the envoy of the Japanese country, and taught the law on behalf of the heavens, giving us the legal status of neighboring countries.

Then Jianzhen went east to your prosperous Tang Dynasty and became a paradise in our eyes, and we finally got our wish and became your vassal state.

We learn your culture, feel your greatness, reflect our inferiority complex, and stimulate us to move forward, until the western powers pry open our country and force us to start that war while your dragon veins are in turmoil .”

"Forcing is the wrong word, isn't it?"

Xia Yi's tone suddenly changed: sarcastic.

"Although there are some things that the world of awakened people and ordinary people say differently, you and I should know what the essence of that... war is. Tokugawa-san, what you said is just to excuse you who used to be."

"That's right."

Erika admitted without hesitation.

Then he said: "I know that the people of the Celestial Dynasty will never change their views on us, and I have no intention of refuting it. The reason why I mentioned this is actually to say another thing."

"say"

"For example, whether it's tea or other things, in fact, Xia Yijun, haven't you noticed that our country has been ruled for thousands of years."

"So you want to seek change"

"change"

"Well, change with ownership"

"No, you are wrong."

Erika shook her head.

"That's not what I came for."

"Then what is your purpose?"

Hearing Xia Yi's question, the girl fixed Xia Yi's eyes.

Her gaze finally lost the slight smile, but was full of seriousness.

"I'm indeed pursuing change, but it's not for Heguo, nor for the... Tokugawa family that should have been dusted in history long ago.

Xia Yi, what I pursue is me.

It's my own transformation."

"Sorry, I didn't understand."

Xia Yi vaguely felt that something was not right.

But the girl was not surprised, she just said: "I want to drive America out of my hometown, I want to drive out the decadent royal family and the Tokugawa family together, and I want the country to return to the embrace of the suzerain country! Let He The people of the country can get a stable home! Xia Yijun, this is the change I am pursuing."

"Are you kidding me"

When Xia Yi heard the girl's words, he instinctively used the wind to cover the surroundings of the gazebo, using the mania of the wind to cover up the words that Erika would be beheaded if someone heard it.

The fingers gathered the hair that fell on the cheek, and in the wind blowing, the girl showed a slight smile again.

"No, Xia Yi-jun, I'm serious.

Because if you don’t do this, He Guo will sink in the sea.”

Boom! The sky exploded with thunder.

heavily clouded.

Terrible raindrops fell down.

I am trying to maintain positive updates today, but we have just returned home, and my wife is pregnant, so I have to do all the work, I hope you understand, thank you

""

Xia Yi stared at Eri Yi.

Eyes do not blink.

As if in: watching a madman.

Yes, that's... madman.

A lunatic hiding under a gentle and graceful coat.

Who can believe that this... the second lady of the Tokugawa family is a perfect existence in the eyes of outsiders, but the real thought in her heart is to subvert her own country? , Kee Rika's thought was pierced into the main artery by Shiquan Sword, and Erika was holding a teacup, and there was still a beautiful tooth mark wound on the cherry blossom cake in front of her.

The raindrops in the sky are splashing.

The teapot on the charcoal fire was gurgling and steaming.

Tasting tea in the rain is a romantic and elegant thing.

But Xia Yi didn't know why, but his hands felt a little cold.

What he said just now completely overturned his impression of Erika.

"you"

Xia Yi wanted to say something, maybe he wanted to verify the other party's words, or he was a little distracted because he was thinking about how to tell the school about this matter.

Anyway, he's a bit stuck.

And as if seeing through his predicament, the corners of Erika's mouth were curved, and she smiled beautifully.

"Xia Yijun, do you know what was the biggest reason for the collapse of the Sui Dynasty?"

"The Guanlong family."

"That's right, it's not about the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, nor is it about conquering Korea.

The biggest failure of Emperor Sui Yang was that he was too eager for success, improved the imperial examinations, and took the talent selection mechanism away from the aristocratic family.

Therefore, he touched the core interests of the aristocratic family, coupled with the failure of the Eastern Expedition and the people's grievances, this is the biggest reason."

Xia Yi knew that she must be using this history to imply something.
