Chapter 142 Cultural Exchange
Dongmenqing met Ji Zhengnan, Li Chengtai and Brapa at the beach, and the three of them were very happy, and they were very grateful to Dongmenqing for giving them such a cool opportunity. Seeing that his subordinates were happy, the east 'gate' smiled and said: "The sage has said, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, and I also follow the teachings of the sage." ”
When the three of them heard this, they all praised the sage named Mencius for being reasonable, and each took out a note, but the merchants showed favor to themselves, two from the Lin family and one from the Huang family. Dong Men' Qing looked at it and thought: "These two families, but some of them have done something. ”
Li Chengtai saw that there was only one person coming to the meeting in the east 'gate' celebration, looked left and right, and said, "Why hasn't the second husband come yet." ”
Dong 'Gate' Qing smiled: "He, he was caught drilling the dog's 'hole'. The three of them were stunned, and the east 'gate' celebrated: "Don't talk about him, I will always think of a way to save him this time." I just hope that he will be tighter in the future. ”
After returning to Hirado, the East Gate Keito immediately revised the book to Matsuura Takashi, saying that he had visited the Matsuura Peninsula last night, and that an entourage had been 'lost' at night, and that he had asked Matsuura Takanobu to help him pay attention, and if he could find the servant, he would be grateful and attached a gift from Jingya.
Matsuura Takanobu replied with a letter on the same day, saying that a suspicious person was indeed caught in the city last night, that person claimed to be 'lost', but he didn't know whether it was a person who celebrated Huaxiang, and if it was convenient for Daodong 'Gate' Qingruo, he could come to the city to gather and recognize people by the way.
The east 'door' was very happy to see the letter, and he replied to the letter on the same day, which shows that he attaches great importance to himself, and secondly, from the content of the letter of the letter, the second husband did not speak 'chaotically', and said in his heart: "I hope that after this incident, he will have a long progress!" He replied that he would come to visit him in three days.
In the evening, more than a dozen subordinates came to him and asked him if he wanted to cross the sea to go to the night. ”
When these subordinates heard this, they made a noise and shouted that they must go, and the east 'gate' celebrated: "How can anyone 'force' people to go here at night?" ”
The subordinates said: "Now the entire village in Kyushu is open at night, waiting for the chief ship master to go here at night!" How can you let them down! ”
Dongmenqing smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about the whole Kyushu, even if there is only the Songpu Peninsula, I can't afford to satisfy them!" After all, I only have one 'stick' mallet, how can I pound thousands of mortars on the other side? ”
Most of the subordinates closed their mouths, but one of them quickly revealed their true intentions: "The chief owner, you don't have enough 'stick' mallets, you can let us help!" ”
Higashi'mon Kei laughed and said, "There are so many 'women' in Hirado, isn't it enough for you to enjoy?" ”
The subordinate said: "The 'flowers' I bought, how can there be the fragrance that comes here at night!" ”
Dongmenqing nodded yes, he was also generous, and even declared that he would still go to the night here tonight, and allowed his subordinates to be happy in his own name, but this time the scope of the night was further expanded, and there were more than a dozen small boats racing across the strait that night, but the east 'gate' Qing himself did not go, only made a covenant with his subordinates: no force, must follow local customs, everyone can only go to one village, so as not to wear too fast latecomers do not have the night. The subordinates went happily, and the news in the villages on the other side of the river that a Ming official was coming for the night spread farther and farther, and the 'female' people heard that a famous official was coming, and every family was happy to open the 'door', which was not entirely due to the encouragement of some merchants.
On the Hirado side, there was no movement in the east 'gate' Qing, and it was not until three days later that he put on Confucian clothes, tied a long sword around his waist, brought a big gift, and led Yang Zhizhong, Cui Guangnan, Anthony, Andrew, and five swordsmen led by Li Rongjiu and five musketeers led by Kavala, and sat on Qinghuaxiang and moved across the Songpu Peninsula to stop.
Matsuura Takanobu personally went to the shore to greet him, and the two met at the pier, and the east 'gate' Qing saw that Matsuura Takanobu was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was quite experienced in handling things, and it was rare to praise it in his heart. It is important to know that Japan was in the Warring States Period, and there were frequent military 'chaos', and people were always easy to grow up under the threat of war, so there were many teenagers who made meritorious contributions. Matsuura Takashi saw that the East 'Gate' celebration was not only luxuriously dressed and beautiful, but also had etiquette and law in every move, and he really deserved to be a romantic figure in the kingdom of the country, and his heart was full of admiration.
The two exchanged names, and a retainer behind Matsuura suddenly screamed, Matsuura reprimanded him for being rude, and the retainer said, "He...... He...... It's the one who suddenly appeared in Honmaru and disappeared that day! ”
Matsuura was quite surprised, and the East Gate Qing smiled: "Is there such a thing? Could it be that my soul is out of my body, and my soul wanders into your city? "Matsuura Takanshin smiled, and repulsed the retainer, and entered the city side by side with the East Gate Qing, first let the second husband bring the second husband to the East Gate Qing to recognize, and the second husband saw the East Gate Qing, just like the death row prisoner saw the amnesty order, and his face 'revealed' ecstasy, but then lowered his head and did not say a word.
Dongmen' Qing smiled: "You have suffered a lot, right? So that you don't 'run around'. ”
The second husband, oh, oh, the east 'gate' Qing said to Matsuura Takashi: "This is indeed my subordinate, but I don't know how to be in your city." ”
At this time, Matsuura intended to make a 'friendship' with Dongmen' Qing, so he didn't want to delve into things that might damage the 'friendship' between the two families, so he only said: "He 'lost' his way at night and was arrested as a 'traitor'!" We don't know that it was the retinue of the king of the East 'Gate', otherwise we wouldn't have treated him like this. Offended. ”
Dongmen' Qing smiled: "It's him who offended." As his master, I should have pleaded guilty to Brother Matsuura on his behalf. ”
The two smiled at each other, wiped this little thing, entered the hall, there were already masters of tea, the east 'door' celebrated a bowl, and said: "This is the Tang Tea Ceremony, although it is good, but it is too cumbersome, I have not been in the Central Plains for hundreds of years." Matsuura Takashi said: "Otherwise, although the tea ceremony originated from the Tang Dynasty, there have been many changes after arriving in Japan, and now the Japanese tea ceremony is not inferior to the Chinese tea ceremony." ”
The east 'gate' smiled and ordered to take Yangxian and Zisha, and said, "Please Brother Songpu try my cup of tea." Takanobu Matsuura took a drink and stopped talking.
The two of them also talked about family studies, talked about the Analects, Taoist Buddhist scriptures, and talked about some cross-religion things. Matsuura Takashi asked: "I heard that the East 'Gate' Jun has won a meritorious name in the Ming Dynasty. The East 'Gate' Qing smiled: "It's just a show, it's not enough to worry about it." When he returned to the Central Plains, when he attacked the industry again, he was inscribed on the gold list to comfort his ancestors. Matsuura Takashin said again: "I heard that Lingzu is an important minister of the Central Plains, I don't know if it's true." "East 'Gate' Qing Dao: "My maternal grandfather Mr. Ciya is a 12-year jinshi of Zhengde, only because of the law enforcement, to be jealous of the powerful, the career is bumpy, several ups and downs, but he old man usually talks about his life, often said that my generation should be loyal and filial piety as the foundation, benevolence and righteousness as the root, this is taught by the sages, because of this ambition, so it is important for the southeast Shilin. As for the promotion of the official career and the ups and downs of the sea, there is no way. ”
Takanobu Matsuura couldn't help but be in awe when he heard this. One of his retainers was not interested and said, "Our Matsuura family has a long history and is very famous in western Japan!" Now my lord is also a prominent position under the sixth position. ”
Dongmenqing smiled and said, "China and Japan are not the same. ”
Although he said this politely, Matsuura still felt looked down upon in his confidence, and his face was a little ugly.
The east 'gate' Qing saw his heart and said: "You can't show off too much." Then he said to Matsuura Takashi: "I came to Hirado and saw that Brother Matsuura treated the people of China and Taixi kindly, and this sincerity is an extraordinary vision!" It is expected that there must be extraordinary ambitions in the 'chest'! ”
Matsuura Takanshin listened to his flattery, and was overjoyed, and said, "The East Gate has won the award!" As the 25th generation governor of the Matsuura family, I should find ways to protect the family business. "The Matsuura family was located in a remote corner of Kyushu, less than a small amount of the Japanese princes, and was often invaded by nearby daimyo such as Ryuzoji Temple, but since Takanobu took the initiative to open up trade and accept the 'smuggling' fleet from the Ming Dynasty, the wealth and strength gradually increased, and this stabilized the position, and Matsuura Takanobu and his retainers were often proud of it. After Takashi Matsuura believed in his words, he asked Higashimen Kei what his ambitions were.
East 'Gate' Qing said with a smile: "I have no ambition, after this study tour, I should go back to 'serve' my parents in order to fulfill the filial piety of the son of man." ”
Matsuura Takashi said: "Otherwise, the East 'Gate' has the courage to cross the ocean, and he must have great ambitions in his heart!" ”
Dong'men' Qing didn't expect him to ask himself in turn, in fact, why his own ambition is really hard to say, saying that he wants to be a big businessman of sea thieves, that is not something that can be put on the table at this time, I don't know how to prevaricate for a while, I suddenly remembered that I was reading when I was a child, and it seems that I had been asked about my ambitions, and a very vague figure shook in my mind, but the answer at that time had come to mind, so I said: "I read "Taishi Gongshu" when I was a child, Mr. explained it to me, and quoted Zhou Shuyun: If you don't come out, you will lack food, if you can't work, you won't have to do anything, and if you can't do business, you will have three treasures. If you don't get out, you will have little money. Mr. also quoted Taishi Gongyun: These four are the origin of food and clothing of the people, so agriculture and industry are all based. The gentleman also said: The world Confucianism does not notice, and the industry and commerce are the end, and the vain discussion is to cause many disasters and disturb the people's livelihood, especially in this dynasty. I then rose up and said, 'When I grow up, I will definitely turn around this 'nonsense' of speech that is harmful to the people!' These are the words I said when I was a child, and I don't know if I want to do it. ”
In fact, his words were slightly embellished, the Dongmen's family had already become rich because of business at that time, and the gentleman said with a smile when he said this: "Our family has also suffered from this kind of nonsense, and it is also bumpy to do some business." When I heard it, Dongmenqing said: "Then when I grow up, I will definitely make a lot of money, and arrest all these nonsense people and beat them!" The gentleman laughed and said, "There are thousands of people who say such things, and among them there are many great officials, even emperors!" Even the Taizu of this dynasty also emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, no matter how much money you earn, it is useless, can you still dig Emperor Hongwu out of the grave and beat him? ”
These memories were buried deep after the Dongmenqing lingered and the dogs and horses, and when they were evoked again, they appeared in a string in his mind, and suddenly remembered: "Yes, it seems that my brother-in-law taught me to read when I was a child. ”
In reality, Matsuura Takanshin showed double respect and said: "Dongmen' Qingjun has great ambitions, and I can't compare. ”
Dongmen' Qing laughed, and immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the room was quite tense, it turned out that although he suppressed the other party in these few grand arguments, but because they were too serious topics, both sides seemed to be a little tense, and Matsuura Takashin was restrained everywhere, and the retainers were all resentful, that is, Takanobu himself, under the surface of respect, there was actually a little unhappiness. Dongmen' Qingjian thought to himself: "I just want to show off myself, but I don't take into account the other party's feelings!" That's not a good thing. Then he approached Matsuura Takanobu and said in a low voice: "Brother Matsuura, I came thousands of miles away just to get rid of the shackles of the elders in my family, and I just want to be happy and happy in Japan." Let's not talk about such a serious topic. ”
Matsuura was stunned and asked, "What do you say?" ”
The east 'gate' celebrated: "What is fun to say." ”
Takanobu Matsuura laughed, and the atmosphere on the scene became more lively, and the retainers let the prepared Noh drama begin.
Although this Noh opera also has its own interest, Dong'men' Qing is the leader of Quanzhou***, and he has a lot of experience in opera arts, otherwise how would he know the water mill tune? But his attention was not here at this time, so he seemed a little absent-minded, and thought, "If you can't lead the topic to Fengyue, how can you ask him about Ayako?" ”
After the play, Takanobu Matsuura saw that the east 'gate' was happy, so he asked: "Is this play bad?" ”
Dongmen' Qing hummed and said, "Okay, good." frowned, and said: "It's just that recently I don't pay much attention to music and dance, and I only focus on Danqing." ”
Matsuura Takashi said: "There are also quite a few danqing in my city. "I sent people to search for the treasures in the library, presented a few masterpieces from the Central Plains, and mixed a few Japanese masterpieces with them, to see how the East 'Gate' Qing tasted it.
Who knew that the east 'gate' Qing sighed: "Is that all there is to Brother Matsuura? You're young, and that's all you see all day, and it's a little sad this day. ”
Matsuura Takanshin only heard his words, and he was ashamed, and said in his heart: "He is from a big family of Chinese scholars, and what he has in his family must be a hundred times better than mine!" "I want to take out a few Western paintings, but I think that the East 'Gate' celebration has a Francois as a servant, but I am afraid that my knowledge of Western paintings is far better than my own, so why use it to make a fool of myself? There was no way to advance or retreat for a while, and the scene was even more embarrassing.
Dongmen' Qingyang beckoned Li Chengtai to approach, asked him to take out two scrolls from his bag, approached Matsuura Takashi and said: "Brother Matsuura, this is made by Tang Bohu, a great talent in my modern Chinese world, Brother Matsupu to see how the penmanship is." ”
Matsuura Takashi confidently thought that this painting must be extraordinary, he was sitting on the front of the house, opened it and looked at it, his eyes almost fell off, and several important ministers of the family such as Tian Anjing saw that their lord was so 'colorful', and they all thought in their hearts: "We have also heard of Tang Bohu's name, but can his paintings really stand alone in the world and make the lord so surprised?" ”
Cage hand Tian Anjing immediately came out of the line, bowed down, and asked this god to take a look, Matsuura Takanbu quickly put away the painting, coughed, and said: "This is the valuable collection of guests, how can you be so abrupt!" ”
The retainers were even more shocked when they heard this, thinking that this painting had surpassed Wu Daozi and Yan Liben? Otherwise, why would the lord be so cautious about a pair of calligraphy and paintings from close to him? Kagete Tian Anjing thought even more: "Could it be that this painting is not actually a simple painting, but is related to the national and military politics of the Ming Dynasty?" Yes! It must be! It must be! I'm afraid that this big official from the East 'Gate' is here, but he actually has a very important plan on his shoulders! And our Matsuura family will be involved, this ...... "Thinking of the blessings and misfortunes that may be involved, I can't help but sweat!
But seeing that Matsuura Takanobu waved his hand and asked everyone to withdraw and discuss with the East 'Gate' Kei, Cage Tian Anjing strengthened his guess, bowed, and retreated with his retainers. The entourage of the East Gate celebration also went out of the 'Gate' together.
After the 'door' was closed, Matsuura Takanobu jumped up and said to the east 'gate': "East 'gate' Jun! Turns out you're good for this! Why not say it sooner! I also have a lot of these masterpieces in my home, so let's enjoy them together! Let's enjoy it! ”
