Chapter 69: The Sixteenth and the Sixteenth
Yuan Gongzi is talking about Yuan Weiyue, and Yuan Gongzi is his nickname.
Murasaki Shikibu's "The Tale of Genji" opened the era of Japan's "Mourning" aesthetic, and the protagonist of the first half of "The Tale of Genji" is Genji Childe, if what Murasaki Shikibu wrote is true, then this Genji Childe is probably the ancestor of Gen Weiyue thousands of years ago.
The same surname Yuan, the same noble family, and the same handsome appearance won the nickname of "Yuan Gongzi" for Wei Yue. It's just that Duanmu Ci knows that the generations of Gen Clan children recorded in the Gen Clan genealogy, as long as they are not particularly frustrated in appearance, are basically called like this when they are young.
For example, Yuan Weiyue's father
"Genji is a prince in Japan for generations, and the genealogical origin can be traced back to Emperor Saga, which was the 52nd emperor of Japan, and the one who lives in the imperial palace now is 125 generations, with a full 100 generations in between, and Genji's fame and status in Japan can be imagined." ”
"So you want Gen Weiyue to accompany you to Japan, and then use Genji's power to deter the Yamahi group? Forcing them to bow their heads and let go? ”
"After World War II, Japan implemented constitutional government at the request of the United States, and the imperial system was disorganized, and even the imperial family lost power, not to mention the aristocracy. Genji has not been a prime minister over the years, but the surnames Abe, Fukuda, Aso, and Hatoyama have gradually risen, so Genji has been a little weakened, and I am afraid that their names will not be able to deter the Yamahi group. ”
"And even if they agree verbally, but they still secretly do it, and then refuse to admit it, what can we do?"
"Then what are you doing with Yuan Gongzi?" Bu Tong was puzzled.
"It's better than nothing." Duanmu Ci said irresponsibly, "Although Genji has never been a prime minister, he has at least a few cabinet ministers and has a lot of influence in the Diet. The name Genji may not be enough to make the Yamahi group stop, but at least it can make them throw a rat trap and not dare to go too far. Otherwise, it really off Genji, and drafting an anti-black bill in the Diet is enough for the Yamahi group to drink a pot. ”
Bu Tongxun is still very worried, "After all, the Shanri Group is a violent society, if they are really forced to be anxious, it is normal to make any moves to cross the line." If something goes wrong in Japan with an adult or a young man, what should it be? No one can afford this consequence, and if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, adults should think about it again. ”
Duanmu Ci groaned, "You don't think that I went to Japan just to relax and solve the problem of the Yamanichi group, right?" ”
"Huh?" Bu Tongxuan's eyes widened, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Absolutely!" Duanmu Ci said seemingly seriously, "Japan's economic situation is stormy, and it hasn't come back to its senses since the financial crisis, plus their prime minister is promoting "Abenomics", which makes it even worse. At this time, wouldn't it be better for me to go to Japan to investigate the environment and make some investments? ”
Ordinary people may think that Japan's economic environment is not suitable for investment, but Tanmushi tends to do the opposite, and he likes to invest in countries with strong foundations but a somewhat dilapidated superstructure. For example, in the United States during the Great Depression, and in Japan after the Plaza Accord, Duanmu bought a lot of land in Tokyo during that period.
Bu Tong said, "You can also send others to inspect investment, where is the need for adults to go out in person?" That's a bit of a fuss. ”
Duanmu Ci didn't want to continue the topic, he had already made up his mind, so he picked up his chopsticks and whispered, "The dish is cold, eat it quickly." ”
……
……
"Accompany you back to Japan? No, I'm not going! Wei Yue's rare expression and tone were serious.
"Why not?" Duanmu Ci sat down at his desk, "Japan is your motherland, don't you miss the cherry blossoms there if you haven't gone back for so long?" ”
Wei Yue smiled coldly, "It's April now, and the cherry blossoms in Tokyo have long since withered, and now when I go to enjoy the cherry blossoms, I'm afraid I can't even see the falling cherry blossoms all over the ground." If Duanmu-kun really wants to enjoy the cherry blossoms, then there will be a chance in the spring of next year, but don't think about it this year. ”
Duanmu Ci got up, leaned over the desk, and made a coercive gesture, "Do you want to go?" ”
"Don't go!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
Duanmu Ci sat back again, "Such a resolute attitude? ”
To say that Wei Yue's character is also very well understood, that is the same character as "water", the so-called "water-like character" means to go with the flow, and be at peace with the encounter, although there are occasional turbulent times, but most of the time it is still very calm. Therefore, Duanmu Ci was also a little surprised by Wei Yue's current rare posture of "refusing to resolutely refuse to cooperate".
"Duanmu-kun, have you forgotten why I came to China?" Wei Yue's expression suddenly became a little sad.
"Oh, yes." Duanmu Ci suddenly realized, he almost forgot about this stubble!
Why did Wei Yue come to China?
It's to escape from marriage!
As the future head of the Genji family, Wei Yue is destined to inherit the family's thousand-year-old family lineage and glory, and his status is so valuable that he can have lunch with the emperor without the approval of the Imperial Household Agency, and even make a statement to the emperor, which even the prime minister cannot do.
This is the glory that Genji's family gave to the moon, so the elders of the Genji naturally felt that the moon should do his duty to the family, such as marriage. The bride chosen by the elders for the dangerous moon is Princess Yoshiko, who is under the crown prince's knees, and before the birth of the imperial grandson, Prince Yuhito, this princess may even inherit the throne of Japan and become the female emperor, and the preciousness of her status can be imagined.
However, this does not mean that Wei Yue is willing to accept this family business, he chose to resist, he is unwilling to marry his cousin, although it is a cousin of a long lineage.
So he ran away from marriage as a matter of course.
If he agrees to accompany Duanmu back to Japan today, what is the difference between it and a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth and throwing himself into the net? Wei Yue dared to swear by her family's surname, and after she escaped from marriage, those elders in the family definitely covered their eyes and said countless hellos in places like international airports. As long as you dare to pass through the arrival hall of a Japanese airport, the name and photo on your passport will be displayed in front of your retainers as soon as possible.
And then he himself was "arrested".
Therefore, Wei Yue actually rejected Duanmuci's statement of "let's go to Tokyo to enjoy the cherry blossoms together", and her attitude was resolute, her answer was swift, and her tone was firm.
Duanmu Ci came from the feudal era, so he is still a little uncomfortable with such things as "free marriage and free love", after all, it is difficult for the idea of the new trend to blow away this immortal who has been "immovable mortal" for many years, so he is a little puzzled by Wei Yue's practice of preferring to escape marriage rather than get engaged.
"If you are willing to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess, then I guarantee you will have a grand wedding. The Imperial Household Agency will allocate at least one-third of this year's budget for you, NHK and FNN will broadcast the whole process live, hundreds of millions of people around the world will watch your wedding, your marriage will be blessed by all the people, and the kissing photos of the two of you will make headlines around the world under the sunset of Meiji Jingu! You have no reason to refuse. ”
Duanmu Ci "seduces" with "ill intentions", and the scene depicted is like the most beautiful oil painting, painted with gorgeous colors, such a grand wedding is the dream of every young man and woman. A marriage that can be noticed by the whole world and blessed by all the people, no one has a reason to refuse.
Wei Yue shook her head and said very succinctly, "I don't know her well, and I don't want to be with a stranger. This is actually the reason why he ran away from marriage.
"Then you can go on a date, it's very romantic to go on a date before marriage, for example, go on a cherry blossom trip to Mt. Fuji, take a train to Nagoya to participate in all kinds of fun festivals, and then take her to Ginza for shopping, girls love this the most! Isn't it good that you finally made a lifelong vow under the Sky Tree in Tokyo? ”
Wei Yue sneered, "Duanmu-kun thinks too much, the Japanese imperial family is the most uninhabited in the world. The nobles of power, their every move is monitored by the Imperial Household Agency, and for those old stubborns, the maximum date they can accept is nothing more than the planting of trees and bird watching in the ancient shrine by both men and women, and nothing else! I dare to take Princess Yoshiko to Nagoya to Ginza today, and tomorrow the Metropolitan Police Department's wanted warrant will appear in the news headlines of FNN! ”
"What's more, I don't need to chase her at all, if I want, I can wear a dress and hold a wedding with her directly in the Meiji Shrine at any time, and even the prime minister and cabinet ministers have to attend the wedding in person and give the gift money, and I still need to go on a date?"
Duanmu Ci patted his forehead gently, he forgot about this stubble, the Japanese royal family is in captivity, and there is no freedom at all. The crown prince doesn't even have the right to say in front of the media that he likes to eat oranges, because someone grows apples. In this case, it is indeed difficult to have any "free love" situation, and it is no wonder that Wei Yue does not like it.
"How did you react to the royal family this time? I'm afraid it's a lot of rage. Duanmu Ci suddenly remembered, "As a family that has been called a god for generations, I don't believe that your royal family can allow this kind of thing to humiliate them, they should be the first to repent of their marriage, why is there no news until now?" ”
"Because my family is withholding the news." Wei Yue said helplessly, "I also recently learned from a loyal retainer that my escape was interpreted by the family as a tour, and they told His Majesty the Emperor that I had come to enjoy the last single time, and by the way, I would like to inspect the place of my honeymoon after marriage. Those old guys are very cunning! ”
"This is a bully." Duanmu Ci said in surprise, "According to the old law, this kind of behavior is to be punished by the clan, your parents are obviously bullying the emperor and have no power in his hands." ”
"No one dares to criticize my Gen clan, not even Emperor Meiji." Wei Yue leaned back in her chair, "Anyway, no matter what you say, I won't go back to Japan." The tone was resolute, as if a samurai was going to die.
"Sixteenth." Duanmu Ci said suddenly.
"What?" Wei Yue asked, "Is it the ticket for the sixteenth?" No, no! Even if you book me a ticket, I won't go! ”
"Sixteenth, Liu Gongquan." Duanmu Ci added a note.
Wei Yue stopped talking, and after a while, he said sadly, "You tempted me?!" ”
"Sixteen Days" is the work of the famous calligrapher Liu Gongquan in the Tang Dynasty, it is a piece of grass, Wei Yue once saw it in the hands of Duanmu Ci, and I like it very much. Now that Duanmu Ci is paying him for this calligraphy to go to Japan, he feels very sad and indignant.
However, what made him feel even more sad and angry was that he was actually moved without a fight
"Okay, I'll go!" Wei Yue lowered her head, her hands trembling slightly.
Duanmu Ci knew what mood he was in now, it was a dislike for his lack of anger
"I'll book a ticket for you, on the sixteenth." Duanmu Ci said with a smile.
