Ning Zhiheng was specially brought by Junpei Uehara, and Hirofumi Fujiwara came to Shanghai this time with a mission, and he didn't want to let people who didn't want to do it know, so Junpei Uehara controlled the news and only notified the senior generals of the military to come to greet him.

As for Ning Zhiheng, of course, he was going to be introduced to Fujiwara Hirofumi, after all, his own son and nephew came to visit, and it was reasonable to say, and Fujiwara Hirofumi would not blame more.

A warship slowly sailed into the customs and docked at the dock, which immediately made everyone cheer up, cheer up, and straighten up, waiting for Fujiwara Hirofumi's arrival.

After a short time, a group of guards disembarked first, and then several men in suits stepped off the boat.

The leader is a middle-aged man, about forty years old, medium build, good looks, two long eyebrows on his thin face, slightly sharp eyes, and a slightly upturned beard, which makes people feel a calm majesty at any time, and it is one of the representatives of the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Hirofumi, a member of the House of Nobles.

Behind him was a middle-aged man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, as well as two young men, both of whom were supposed to be Fujiwara Hirofumi's entourage.

Junpei Uehara hurriedly led everyone at this time, walked a few steps to meet him, walked closer, bowed and bowed.

"Mr. Fujiwara, Junpei Uehara and his Shanghai garrison are here to welcome Your Excellency."

Fujiwara Hirofumi's gaze surveyed everyone, and when his eyes swept over Ning Zhiheng, he paused slightly, because all the people who greeted him were soldiers, but Ning Zhiheng was wearing a suit, obviously not a military person.

"Uehara-kun, hard work! We've been waiting for a long time! Fujiwara Hirofumi nodded slightly.

"This is Lieutenant General Naoya Tada, commander of the Shanghai garrison.

This is Masakazu Yoshioka......"

Junpei Uehara introduced several generals behind him one by one, and when he finally introduced Ning Zhiheng, he deliberately accentuated his tone.

"This is my nephew and a child of your clan, Fujiwara Tomohito!" Junpei Uehara stretched out his hand and signaled, "This time I heard that you came to Shanghai, as a junior, I specially brought him to visit, and if you are presumptuous, please Haihan!" ”

Hearing Junpei Uehara's introduction, Fujiwara Hirofumi's eyes couldn't help but light up, he didn't expect that Shanghai, which was far overseas, could meet the children of his family.

Obviously, this is a side branch child, because there are not many descendants of the lineage, there are only a few, and those who are a little more related also know some, but this one has no impression at all.

However, Fujiwara Hirofumi saw that the young man in front of him was tall and handsome, he was really a talent, and he immediately had a good impression!

Ning Zhiheng stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said softly: "Fujiwara Tomohito, meet your lord!" ”

Fujiwara Hirofumi showed a smile on his face and asked kindly, "Are you a child of the Fujiwara family?" Where is home? ”

"The younger generation is a native of Kune-cho, Kameoka County, Kyoto Prefecture.,Grew up in the countryside.,I didn't have the opportunity to meet my family.,It's a pity.,Later immigrated to Shanghai.,It's so kind to see you here.,It's rude.,Please forgive me!" Ning Zhiheng said in a low voice, and bowed again.

"Oh! So that's it! Fujiwara Hirofumi nodded, the terrain of Kyoto Prefecture is long and narrow from north to south, Kameoka and Kyoto both belong to the southern region of Kyoto Prefecture, and the accent is exactly the same.

It seems that his guess is not wrong, he is indeed a son of a side branch, but the so-called people meet old acquaintances in other places, after leaving Japan, they can meet their own sons and nephews of the same clan and country, even if they are distant relatives, it also makes Fujiwara Hirofumi feel very cordial, and Ning Zhiheng has an outstanding appearance, which gives Fujiwara Hirofumi a good impression, and he is still the righteous nephew of Uehara Junpei, and he has to be treated a little more favorably for the sake of Uehara Junpei's face.

Fujiwara Hongwen stepped forward and patted Ning Zhiheng on the shoulder, and said kindly: "How should you call me according to my seniority?" ”

The Japanese aristocracy is very hierarchical, and the side lines should be called adults, and the status is very different, and Fujiwara Hirofumi asked to be called by seniority, which showed his goodwill.

"Uncle!" Ning Zhiheng hurriedly nodded and said.

"Okay, Zhiren, it's nice to see you in Shanghai, let's go together!" Fujiwara Hirofumi said with a smile.

Ning Zhiheng looked flattered, he quickly nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle!" ”

Uehara Junpei saw that Ning Zhiheng left an excellent impression on Fujiwara Hirofumi in just a few words, and he was also overjoyed, it seems that he has taken the right step in this step, and Fujiwara Tomohito's talent makes Fujiwara Hirofumi very satisfied.

Several other high-ranking generals also nodded secretly when they saw this, President Fujiwara is a side line of the Fujiwara family, they are clear, but they don't dare to despise the Fujiwara family, and with the addition of Fujiwara Tomohito as the righteous nephew of Junpei Uehara, with this relationship, it is also worth everyone's admiration.

Now that I'm in the eyes of Fujiwara Hirofumi, I'm afraid I'll have to pay more attention to it in the future.

Everyone left the dock together, got on the convoy to greet them, and hurried all the way to the mansion that had been prepared long ago, a top villa in the east of the city, large enough to house Fujiwara Hirofumi's guards and entourage.

When everything was settled, Fujiwara Hirofumi beckoned Junpei Uehara to the study and asked directly, "Uehara-kun, has the representative of the other party arrived in Shanghai?" ”

Junpei Uehara hurriedly said: "I have come to Shanghai three days ago, and they are also very urgent, hoping that we can give them a promise. ”

Fujiwara Hirofumi said lightly: "This time, I am only supervising this negotiation as the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, but, Uehara-kun, please arrange the itinerary, I want to talk to this envoy as soon as possible." ”

"Hey, I'll arrange it right away, and I can let him come to see you tomorrow!" Junpei Uehara replied.

"Alright, so be it!" Fujiwara nodded.

Junpei Uehara continued: "Sir, tonight we have prepared a reception banquet at the Wujiang Hotel..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fujiwara Hirofumi waving his hand: "Uehara-kun, I don't want to be too ostentatious when I come to Shanghai this time, just forget about the reception banquet." ”

When Junpei Uehara heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate, Fujiwara Tomohito had already arranged everything at the Wujiang Hotel, but he didn't expect Fujiwara Hirofumi to go at all.

"Sir, it's just a small welcome banquet, and Jiren has been preparing for this for a long time, but you're still..."Junpei Uehara persuaded again.

But Fujiwara Hirofumi still shook his head and said: "Uehara-kun, your kindness is understood, I just got off the boat, and I am indeed a little tired, so I won't bother everyone!" ”

Junpei Uehara had no choice but to nod his head helplessly when he heard it, and just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Fujiwara Hirofumi suddenly asked: "Zhiren is your nephew, have you known each other in China?" ”

Junpei Uehara heard Fujiwara Hirofumi's inquiry, and his heart was happy, which showed that Fujiwara Hirofumi was still somewhat interested in Fujiwara Tomohito. He quickly cheered up and replied: "It was not long after Zhiren came to Shanghai from China, by chance, my friend introduced us to each other, although Zhiren is young, but he has a calm temperament and is talented. ”

Fujiwara Hirofumi saw Junpei Uehara praising Fujiwara Tomohito, so he said with a smile: "Uehara-kun is also a person who loves talents, and it is not easy for Tomohito to get your favor, so if you call him in, I just want to talk to him." ”

Junpei Uehara hurriedly nodded in agreement, exited the study, came to the living room, and said to the other generals: "Tonight's banquet has been canceled, Mr. Fujiwara has a tired journey, and he doesn't want to do anything more. ”

Several generals couldn't help but glance at each other with some disappointment, so they had to nod their heads in agreement.

Junpei Uehara looked at Ning Zhiheng on the side again and said, "Zhiren! Sir called you in, he wants to talk to you! ”

"Yes, uncle!" Ning Zhiheng hurriedly nodded in agreement, picked up the gift that had been prepared a long time ago, and followed Junpei Uehara to the door of the study.

"Zhiren, be careful, seize this opportunity!" Junpei Uehara told him that his business had been done, and the rest was up to Ning Zhiheng himself.

Ning Zhiheng nodded in agreement, then knocked on the door and entered, and bowed in front of Fujiwara Hirofumi: "Uncle!" ”

"Jiren, come, sit down and talk!"

Fujiwara Hirofumi said kindly, motioning for Ning Zhiheng to sit down on the seat next to him.

"How long have you been in Shanghai?"

"It's been nearly three years, Showa came to Shanghai at the beginning of the twelfth year, then went to Hong Kong for a year, and then returned to Shanghai, and has been until now." Ning Zhiheng replied cautiously.

"How old is this year? Is there anyone else in the family? Fujiwara Hirofumi then asked, as if his family was narrating family affairs, very easy-going.

"I am 21 years old this year, I have no relatives at home, my parents died one after another in the fifth year of Showa, the epidemic in Kyoto Prefecture, my sister married far away, I have been living alone, and then after graduation, I responded to the emperor's call and immigrated to China."

In the fifth year of Showa, there was a large-scale epidemic in the Kyoto Prefecture and Osaka Prefecture area, and many people died at that time, Fujiwara Hirofumi knew it clearly, and when he heard Ning Zhiheng say this, he couldn't help but turn dark.

He looked at Ning Zhiheng's gaze more and more softly, his parents died early, and he lived alone at a young age, what a poor child!

"How is life in Shanghai? Are there any difficulties? Fujiwara Hirofumi asked kindly, and then suddenly realized that since he can become Uehara Junpei's nephew, he must have no worries in life.

Sure enough, Ning Zhiheng waved his hand again and again, and replied with a smile: "Thank you uncle for your concern, after all, I am a child of the Fujiwara family, and I have the protection of Uncle Uehara, so there are no difficulties in life, and now I have opened a Fujiwara club in Shanghai, mainly engaged in some import and export trade, and the current business situation is also very good, and I am very satisfied with my current life."

It's just that people are far away, uprooted from home, missing their relatives, this time I heard that you are coming to Shanghai, I specially asked Uncle Uehara to introduce me, to be able to get the uncle's view, Zhiren is very grateful! ”
