Ning Zhiheng came to the Nanwu Bookstore very early, and was about to start work, when he saw Fukui Yuzhen, who was resting in the bookstore last night, coming over, so he asked with a smile: "Fukui-kun, how was your rest last night?" ”

Yujin Fukui yawned, rubbed his eyes, shook his head and said: "I couldn't sleep at all in the first half of the night, I was always thinking about things, and I was not as comfortable as my own home, but after this shift, I can sleep for a few days!" ”

After speaking, Yuma Fukui smiled, cheered up, and went to work again, Ning Zhiheng also began to clean, organize books, and do what he was doing.

When he was working until ten o'clock in the morning, there were not many people in the library, and Ning Zhiheng was looking through a book of Japanese poems from the Edo period when he heard the voice of Kuroki Yueichi from the second floor.

"Fujiwara-kun, please come up!" Kuroki Takeichi called out loudly.

"Hey, I'll be right away!" Ning Zhiheng hurriedly replied.

He put down the book in his hand and walked briskly up to the second floor to Kurokichi's office.

"Mr. Kuroki, what do you command?" Ning Zhiheng bowed and asked.

Kuroki Yueyi looked at Ning Zhiheng and said with a smile: "Fujiwara-kun, go to the garrison headquarters with me in a while, General Junpei Uehara of the military department is my good friend, some books he has always wanted, I finally found them for him, I can't take them alone, you can accompany me on a trip!" ”

Speaking of this, Kuroki Yueichi smiled again and said, "General Uehara is also a calligraphy enthusiast, so you can just have a discussion." ”

Kuroki Yueichi himself is a relatively famous scholar in Japan, and he has many friends in the Japanese high-level, because of Japan's high level of education and popularity, even the cultural level of the upper echelons of the army is also very high, and this General Uehara Junpei is one of Kuroki Yueichi's friends.

Kuroki Yueyi attaches great importance to Ning Zhiheng, of course, because of Ning Zhiheng's aristocratic status, and more importantly, his excellent calligraphy makes Kuroki Yueyi appreciate it very much, this time he needs to find a person with outstanding calligraphy, so he chose Ning Zhiheng without much thought.

And the Japanese attach great importance to traditional culture, especially for the aristocracy, although they do not attach as much importance to identity as before, Kuroki Yueichi still puts Ning Zhiheng on an equal footing, and he is very polite when he speaks.

Hearing that Kuroki Yueyi was going to take him to the Japanese garrison headquarters, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, he smiled slightly, and immediately agreed: "Of course I am willing to serve!" ”

Kuroki Yue bowed slightly, pointed to the thick dozen books on the table next to him, and said, "I'll leave it to you, we'll leave immediately!" ”

Ning Zhiheng hurriedly stepped forward, took a packing rope, skillfully tied up the dozen or so books, tied a live ring, and carried it in his hand, it was really heavy, no wonder Kuroki Yueyi wanted to find a helper to go with him.

The two of them walked out of the Nanwu Library together, got into Kuroki Yueichi's car, and rushed all the way to the garrison headquarters.

After a short time, they came to the gate of the garrison headquarters, Kuroki Yueyi and Ning Zhiheng got out of the car, Kuroki Yueyi said a word to the guard sergeant at the gate, the sergeant picked up the phone, and after asking, he immediately bowed to Kuroki Yueyi and said: "Mr. Kuroki, General Uehara, please come in!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at Ning Zhiheng behind Hei Muyue with his eyes, but he didn't say much.

Kuroki Yueichi didn't bother to explain to such an ordinary sergeant, but took the lead in walking into the gate of the headquarters, Ning Zhiheng held a book in his hand, and walked behind Kuroki Yueichi with a calm expression.

The headquarters building is a very tall fortress-like building, made of concrete and steel throughout, like an impregnable fortress.

It was surrounded by dense military bunkers, many well-trained soldiers patrolling back and forth, and two lieutenant-level officers with red armbands on their arms were on duty at the entrance to the building.

They obviously knew Kuroki Yueichi, and when they watched Kuroki Yueichi walk over, one of the captain officers greeted with a smile: "Mr. Kuroki!" ”

Kuroki Yueichi also smiled and nodded: "Good work, Ishikawa-kun!" ”

After the two of them greeted each other, Ishikawa Takeshi looked at Ning Zhiheng behind Kuroki Yue, and couldn't help asking, "Who is this?" ”

Kuroki Yue smiled slightly, gestured back to Ning Zhiheng, and introduced: "Fujiwara Tomohito, a child of the Fujiwara family in Kyoto, has just come to Shanghai from China, he is a very talented young man, and he can get closer and closer in the future!" ”

Speaking of this, he turned to Ning Zhiheng and introduced: "This is Ishikawa Takeshi, a son of the Ishikawa family, like you, he is also a family scholar, and he especially likes poetry. ”

The Ishikawa family? This is an aristocratic family in Osaka Prefecture in the Kansai region, but it is lower than the Fujiwara family in terms of social status, but it also depends on the difference between the concubines and the concubines, if it is the son of the head of the Ishikawa family, of course, it is higher than the status of the side branch of the Fujiwara family of Ning Zhiheng, who is an impostor, if they are all the children of the side branch, then the Fujiwara family is higher.

As soon as he heard that he was a child of the Fujiwara family, Ishikawa Takeshi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately glanced at Ning Zhihenggao, because he himself was only a side branch of the Ishikawa family.

He hurriedly greeted with a smile: "Fujiwara-kun, please take care of me in the future!" ”

Ning Zhiheng also hurriedly bowed down and said in an extremely standard Kansai accent: "I just came to Shanghai, and I also ask Ishikawa-kun to give me a lot of advice!" ”

Kuroki Yueichi said with a smile: "You have a chance to chat in the future, General Uehara is still waiting for me, Ishikawa-kun, let's go first!" ”

"Okay, Mr. Kuroki, Fujiwara-kun, I would like to have a drink when I have time!" Ishikawa Takeshi hurriedly nodded and made a gesture of please at the same time.

Kuroki Yueyi took Ning Zhiheng up the stairs, and at this time, several officers walked down from the big staircase of the turntable, and they looked at the two people who came up and nodded one after another, Kuroki Yueyi and Ning Zhiheng also bowed in return, and then staggered.

At this time, Kuroki Yue turned around and said to Ning Zhiheng: "I don't know why, the Shanghai garrison has increased a lot during this time, and many of the officers here are fresh faces. ”

Ning Zhiheng's heart moved, knowing that this was the Japanese side that had begun to prepare, he didn't answer, but just asked, "Is this Ishikawa Takeshi a child of the main family?" ”

Hearing Ning Zhiheng's question, Kuroki Yueyi said with a smile: "You don't have to care too much, he, like you, is a child of the side branch, this is the best, everyone doesn't have to be too restrained, Ishikawa also likes literature very much, but later he still entered the army, after all, the status of domestic soldiers is getting higher and higher, and there are not many people who really do learning." ”

Ning Zhiheng also said in a very approving tone: "Yes, I have liked to read and write since I was a child, I am not interested in the military, and my peers around me are not willing to get along with me, in fact, I feel that I can relax and enjoy myself more by reading alone!" ”

Hearing this, Kuroki Yueyi looked at Ning Zhiheng and said meaningfully: "Fujiwara-kun, we are people who have been abandoned by the times, and we will be the world of these soldiers in the future, you are still young, I hope you don't join the army, you can keep your heart!" ”

"Hi Yi, got it! Thank you, Mr. Kuroki, for your teaching! Ning Zhiheng hurriedly replied.

As soon as Hei Muyue heard Ning Zhiheng's answer, he just smiled reluctantly, he knew that almost all the young generation in Japan were proud to join the army, and the children of nobles like Ning Zhiheng had many connections and privileges in the army, it was difficult to say that Ning Zhiheng would not embark on this path in the future.

Junpei Uehara's office is on the east side of the third floor, and the entire office on the east side is the intelligence department of the military department, and Junpei Uehara is the major general of the intelligence department in charge.

His secretary saw that it was Kuroki Takeshi who arrived, and quickly invited the two of them in.

And Junpei Uehara had already made tea in his office and sat and waited for Kuroki Yueichi's arrival.

"Uehara-kun, this headquarters is at all levels, it's really not easy for me to meet you!" As soon as Kuroki Yue met, he didn't say angrily.

Junpei Uehara laughed, raised his hand and motioned for Kuroki Yueichi to sit down, but Kuroki Yueichi looked back and introduced Ning Zhiheng: "This is my little friend, a child of the Fujiwara family in Kyoto, aren't you looking for someone with superb calligraphy attainments?" I'll bring it to you! ”

When Ning Zhiheng heard this, he realized that Kuroki Yueichi was not simply accompanying himself, but that this Junpei Uehara wanted to find a good calligrapher, and he was chosen.

"It turned out to be a child of the Fujiwara family," Junpei Uehara looked at Ning Zhiheng in surprise, "That's really good, I've been really anxious these days, I didn't expect you to really help me find it." ”

Ning Zhiheng also bowed respectfully at this time, and said, "Your Excellency General, Fujiwara Tomohito, please take care of me!" ”

"Please sit down, Teng Yuanjun, let's drink tea first, and then let me appreciate your pen style!" Junpei Uehara stretched out his hand and motioned for Ning Zhiheng to sit down as well.

Ning Zhiheng put the books in his hand on the table, and Kuroki Yueyi said with a smile: "These are all books on your list, I spent a lot of effort to find them." ”

Junpei Uehara said in surprise: "You found it all?" It's so good that I stay in this office, and I don't usually have any pastime, so I count on these books to survive! ”

He quickly stood up, came to the table, untied the rope, looked through them one by one, nodded and admired from time to time, and his joy was overflowing!

Kuroki Yueichi smiled and said to Ning Zhiheng: "Uehara-kun is the most favorite of Mr. Natsume Soseki's collection of works, and I especially like the italic printing version, I spent a lot of effort collecting these. ”

It turns out that this Junpei Uehara is still a fan of literature, and he is a loyal admirer of Natsume Soseki.

At this time, Junpei Uehara, who was happy, returned to the side of the tea house and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Kuroki-kun, I will toast you with tea instead of wine." ”

After speaking, he sat down upright, skillfully poured a cup of tea, and saluted in front of Kuroki Yueichi!
