And Professor Yang on the side was also very surprised by Gu Zheng's sudden appearance: "Hey, I haven't asked you yet, but you are a student in school, and you are not good at class, why did you come to the Wa Kingdom?"

"How can it," Gu Zheng, who subconsciously explained: "I just finished the Tokyo Marathon, no, I will return to China with the team in two days." ”

"Professor Yang, do you need any help?"

If Gu Zheng didn't ask, it would be fine, this reminder, Professor Yang remembered Gu Zheng's role.

"Didn't you say I forgot, there won't be anything after your game is over, right?"

Gu Zheng nodded subconsciously.

Then Professor Yang continued: "That's good, report to my hotel tomorrow midnight. ”

"I originally brought your senior Zhang Leng here, but today for the art exchange between China and our countries, colleagues in the local calligraphy and painting circles have also invited several well-known art auction houses and collectors in the country. ”

"I want to recommend the works of young painters from both countries. ”

"But who would have thought that the unproductive seafood would have a stomach trouble after eating too much,"

"In the end, I was sent to the hospital. ”

"If you want to visit tomorrow, he can't get by, everyone has a younger generation, the representative of our calligraphy and painting industry, I can't be ashamed. ”

"You follow me tomorrow, that's it. ”

"Huh?" Before Gu Zheng could refuse, Professor Yang handed the address card of the hotel where he was staying directly to Gu Zheng.

In the back is the contact number of the weekday, and it seems that it is impossible to refuse.

Gu Zheng, who rolled his eyes, returned to his athlete's place of stay, and returned his ticket for tomorrow with distress, as for when he would return to China?

Let's talk about it.

……

The next day, there was a rare light rain in the sky, as if it was like Gu Zheng's mood, and it was not very clear.

In the hotel where I went to report, I didn't see Brother Zhang Leng, and it is said that he is still in the small clinic on the side, hanging a sad hanging bottle.

On the contrary, the painters and calligraphers from all walks of life who were invited to come here with Professor Yang expressed great interest in this inexplicable young man.

On the bus to the calligraphers of the Japanese Kingdom who were invited to visit, those old people with very interesting tempers put aside their own apprentices who had long been tired of seeing crookedness, and began to set Gu Zheng's words.

"Yang Lao's student, was temporarily called to Japan by the teacher?"

Gu Zheng shook his head innocently and returned: "It's the kind of student who is not fake, or the kind of grace that knows, but I met the teacher by chance in the Kabuki venue yesterday." ”

"Oh, why are you here in Tokyo?"

"Participate in the Tokyo Marathon. ”

For this kind of hobby, this group of old people expressed great agreement, and they said: "Yes, we young people who are engaged in art should exercise more." ”

"When we went out, they all said that we were the kind of people who couldn't help but be weak, and we were always given special care. ”

"I think at the beginning, who was not the master who walked the world with a sword, why is he weak now?"

"So, you finished the marathon yesterday, right? It doesn't matter what the results are, it's important to persevere. ”

"If we are engaged in the creation of calligraphy and painting, the staying power must be good. ”

Gu Zheng quietly looked at the old man whose beard was almost down to his navel, and thought to himself, this is not a problem of weakness, this is a problem of longevity.

But Gu Zheng was praised by others, so he had to be humble, so he replied very sincerely.

"Don't worry, teachers, seniors, I won the championship of the Tokyo Marathon yesterday for our artists. ”

"Well, I'm here to compete on behalf of the Capital Sports Commission, hehe. ”

The eyes of a group of old men instantly protruded a centimeter forward, and they were stunned, is there any!

When did such a fierce man come out of the calligraphy and painting world, this cross-line is a bit mysterious.

Professor Yang, who is not a direct professor, was also surprised, and he asked in a low voice on the side: "Gu Zheng, I remember the last time I heard your neighbors say, aren't you a city manager?"

"Why is the chengguan also responsible for running a marathon now?"

"What?"

The group of old men who pricked up their ears and eavesdropped were stunned.

Are you a chengguan?

Could it be that all the descriptions in the news of the Shock Department on the Internet are true?

Can the combat power of a chengguan be worth an army of a class?

Hehehe, the expressions of these old men who were very conscious of looking at Gu Zheng changed.

And the students next to them, who had originally taken away their teacher's attention, also quieted down instantly.

Chengguan, don't provoke, it is said that they will become temporary workers at any time......

The bus of the Chinese delegates was invited to drive towards the destination in a strange atmosphere.

The lowering buildings and the gradual emergence of green lawns indicate that the suburbs outside Tokyo have arrived.

Here, traditional Japanese-style architecture finally has its place.

Behind the rows of small second floors, a large Japanese-style manor house is revealed.

And the end of the bus is at the gate of the outer wall of this manor.

When everyone got out of the car, they saw not the owner, but the official family of the manor.

According to Professor Yang's grapevine, the identity of the chairman of the calligraphy association is the old aristocrat of the original Wa Kingdom.

Thinking about the existence of this Japanese-style manor, as well as the traditional style of housekeepers and servants, it has brought the shadow of the old aristocracy of the Japanese Kingdom.

Originally, everyone didn't care about it, but when they entered the gate of this manor, they found that there was something special in it.

The traditional rockery pavilion corridor is a poetic and picturesque water pavilion garden.

Looking closely at this flying eaves, you can see a lot of post-Tang style since Buddhism was introduced to the Wa Kingdom.

After passing through a tortuous Japanese-style corridor, it is a formal step into the entrance of this huge house.

It is the façade of a Japanese home, and it doesn't matter if the building is old or new.

Here, all the people take off their shoes. Placed underneath a brown lacquered wood floor, the tips of the shoes are facing the outside, showing respect for the rules and etiquette of the country.

Those who have done all this can step on the slab ground one step higher, this piece is counted as the range of Sanhe soil, everyone has gathered, and then the old butler leads them towards the big room opposite Sanhe soil.

There, Fujiwara once, was waiting eagerly there.

The Japanese tea ceremony, which he is best at, is used as a greeting gift for entertaining visitors from afar.

Everyone sat down to greet each other, and the servants on the side also lit incense for Fujiwara very elegantly.

The sliding doors outside the large house are open on all sides for the convenience of guests enjoying the view.

Gu Zheng, who was a little curious, put his eyes on the small but very distinctive garden scenery in the courtyard.

'Da la la'

Not far from the verandah of the house, the bamboo tube used to store water has been filled, and the tip of the bamboo at one end cannot withstand the force, so it falls into the stone water storage groove on the side.

In this open space where the drizzle is continuous and the cicadas are gone, it adds a bit of freehand.

Because of the rain, this sink specially prepared for the tea room is naturally impossible to directly take water to make tea as usual.

Fujiwara, which had already been prepared, used the snow mountains and water in the cellar to entertain the equally elegant guests who came from afar.

A faint aroma of green tea gradually filled the tea room, but a voice that was out of place with the scenery at this time came from the other end of the distant courtyard.

'Bang bang!'

Fujiwara in the house frowned, but the official on the side answered the master's question in a flat and low voice.

The little master took his classmates home to prepare for the next week's National Archery Championship. ”

Hearing this, Fujiwara's brow was a little relieved.

In order not to make the master look too embarrassed, the Japanese calligrapher, who also belonged to the same club, changed the topic for the Fuji principle.

"Fujiwara-kun, it's still early, and archery is also a way of etiquette that has been inherited from the Wa Kingdom, since it is a cultural exchange, you might as well take Chinese artists to visit. ”

Fujiwara on the opposite side showed a very modest smile on his face, but Gu Zheng saw a little insincere pride from it: "Where, Xiao'er's archery is only a little superficial, and on the way forward in archery, there is still something to learn." ”

Since it's not what it looks like, then don't look at it, right?

No, that's not what people mean.

Fujiwara opened his mouth even more, and handed his hand in the direction of the bow range on the opposite side of the courtyard: "If you are interested, please go and watch it together, and I will guide you from the side and explain it to you." ”

If you want to show off your son, just say it, it's too fake.

What else can you do?

No one is worse than politeness.

The Chinese invitees got up one after another, and pretended to be very interested if they were not interested, and came to the back of the courtyard together.

The old butler, who was very discerning, brought the tea tray together, one tea bowl per person, and the green tea was used to quench the thirst of the Chinese visitors who had already drunk a circle of tea.

The old men, who didn't plan to join in the fun, sat cross-legged on the periphery, but the young students were extremely interested in bow shooting.

At the suggestion of the master's family, they came to the cloister of the courtyard and saw a very standard bow and arrow target, as well as a very traditional and serious bow shooting equipment.

These young people of the Japanese kingdom are holding a large bow with a foot of 2.2 meters, and after drawing arrows, they are very serious about shooting arrows at the target.

The bow archery of the Wa people is different from the archery of mounted archery that has evolved in China for many years or the archery of the modern history of the Goryeo Kingdom.

They seem to be paying attention to the highest grades while also taking into account the beauty of a kind of etiquette.

The shooting sport of Goryeo, which was like a roaring Goryeo, was deeply despised by them in their hearts.

Fujiwara, on the other hand, did not forget to bring the friendly relations with the Chinese visitors closer at this time.

He was very enthusiastic about the bow shooting movement in the field, and made his explanation.
