Schroeder was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

Although there are differences between the Eastern and Western thinking patterns, he still understands what Guan Zhuofan means.

I don't understand, but it's Masajiro Omura, an Oriental.

One day, after getting off duty, Isajiro Omura, who had changed into a kimono, was pacing slowly as usual, when Schroeder suddenly appeared: "Omura, let's go together?" ”

Naturally, Masajiro Omura had no objections.

Talk as you go.

Chatting and chatting, it seemed to be very casual, Schroeder threw Guan Zhuofan's question out: "Omura, what are your plans for yourself?" ”

Of course, Schroeder did not say: "This is the question of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Masajiro Omura opened his mouth, not knowing what to say: Is this what I plan to get?

When Schroeder saw him surprised, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, smiled faintly, and stopped.

"Look, Omura, what a beautiful sunset! If I were you, I would look forward to seeing such a beautiful view every day. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Masajiro Omura stayed where he was, stunned.

The tall shadow of Schroeder's back disappeared, and Masajiro Omura stood dumbfounded for a moment, then turned around and raised his head.

The remnant sun in the western sky was like blood, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

Suddenly, like a thunderbolt, Masajiro Omura understood what Schroeder meant.

He shuddered.

The sunset was gilded, but his face was as white as paper.

That night, in his room, Masajiro Omura knelt on the cold ground for a long time. Fold your hands and caress the ground. Head against back of hand. The back is constantly twitching.

He burst into tears, but did not dare to let anyone hear his cry.

The next day, Masajiro Omura submitted a letter to the chief of staff of the Legion, asking the chief of staff to submit the "Military Committee" on his behalf, and the Legion came forward and applied to the imperial court to allow him to naturalize the Celestial Empire.

Meantime. He asked for permission to bring his wife and children from Japan to China.

Omura Masajiro's original name was Murata Liangan, also known as Yongmin, Zangliu, he took the "field" of "Murata", as his Han surname, the name Yongmin, the word Zangliu, and the number Liangan.

On the day of Masajiro Omura's petition for naturalization, after leaving duty, he stayed in his room and did not go out for a walk as usual.

The next day was the same.

Day 3. Masajiro Omura regained the habit of walking. Although, when he walked. He has always chosen a remote place, but more than one person has noticed that the staff officer Omura is not wearing the familiar "kimono", but a robe and a horse coat.

In this way, "Masjiro Omura" became "Tamanaga Toshi".

Guan Zhuofan raised his glass and said with a smile: "I know that Mr. doesn't drink much, I drink a full glass, Mr. is casual." ”

After that, he raised his neck, took a dry mouthful, and then looked at the bottom of the cup to Tian Yongmin.

Although the prince said "casual", Tian Yongmin didn't dare to be really "casual", holding the cup in both hands, he secretly took a breath, and he was also dry. As soon as the liquor poured into his throat, he almost coughed, and he tried to suppress it, but he finally did not lose his temper, but his face was already flushed.

King Xuanjun smiled and raised his hand to signal: "Feel free, feel free!" ”

After a bite or two of food, Guan Zhuofan said: "Qinzi and Youzi have already left Nagasaki, and they will arrive in Tianjin in about two days......"

Tian Yongmin was shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "The prince is saying...... Humble Jing and the little girl? ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled and said, "Of course, where is the second Qinzi?" ”

If Tian Yongmin is an authentic Chinese, Guan Zhuofan certainly cannot call his inner relatives by name, but after all, Tian Yongmin is a Japanese lizi, and Guan Zhuofan is called so, which is not abrupt, but more cordial.

Tian Yongmin is happy and worried, happy is the family reunion, and worried: The wife and children are here, where do they live?

The petition requesting to take his wife and children to China was handed over -- this was a sign of "losing sincerity," but Tian Yongmin was not prepared at all for how to resettle their mother and daughter -- and he never received an answer from the higher authorities on whether or not he would approve it, and he was always worried about it, and it was not his turn to make any preparations.

was thinking about ups and downs, Guan Zhuofan said: "I bought a house for my husband in Balitai......"

Yes?!

"The three-entry house is not big, half-new and not old, but it is still neat and clean! The furniture and other things are roughly fully equipped, and the mother and daughter of the piano have arrived, and they can live in it directly. Oh, tomorrow is Sunday, and my sir will take a moment to take a look at what is missing, just tell me! ”

Tian Yongmin shook his hand again and again, and his face turned even redder: "It's too big, it's too big!" …… Uh, the prince's generous gift, humble duty...... I can't really afford ......."

This house, Guan Zhuofan said that it was "not big", but it was really not small.

Generally speaking, the first entrance of the three-entry house is the entrance hall, the second is the main hall and upper room, and the third entrance is the back cover building, which is the residence of the family members of the boudoir - this pattern is already the most standard "big mansion". When Tian Yongmin was still "Masajiro Omura", not to mention the military that was already in charge of the Choshu Domain, his residence was about one-fifth the size of this house.

Guan Zhuofan said: "Sir, you don't have to be polite, this is not a 'gift', friends have the friendship of wealth, it can be regarded as a small gift I gave to my sister-in-law and niece." ”

Well, between the words, "Kotoko and Yuko" became "sister-in-law and niece".

"Oh, by the way, on the house deed, in the column of the owner, Mr. has been written in the large size."

Tian Yongmin wanted to say something, Guan Zhuofan waved his hand lightly, stopped him with a smile, and then said: "Balitai is not as prosperous as Tianjin City, but the advantage is that it is close to the military camp of Xiaozhan Station!" Mrs. Sister-in-law and niece come to visit Mr. or on holidays, Mr. goes back to enjoy the family, it is very convenient! ”

This is indeed a very thoughtful plan.

Between Tian Yongmin's chest and abdomen, he couldn't help but surge with qi and blood.

He was so excited, of course, not just for a house, Tian Yongmin - who is Masajiro Omura, where can his vision be so shallow? The key is that King Xuanjun personally interrogated and tried his best to solve his "worries", which shows that the suspicion of the "superiors" for himself has gone, and trust has been born.

For half a year, the deep worries that had been hidden in the bottom of his heart and had no motives were released, and once he was released, Tian Yongmin's whole person was fluttering, and he even felt that he had collapsed a little.

He is with unfamiliar people, he is already clumsy in words, and under the ups and downs of love, he doesn't know what to say.

Stagnant and sluggish, he finally whispered: "The prince's good intentions, Yongmin doesn't know how to repay it?" Only before and after the saddle, the effect is death! ”

Guan Zhuofan said with a smile: "Mr. is too polite. However, there is one thing that depends on great talent at the moment. ”

"Please command, Yongmin will do his best, and he will die."

"That's a big deal."

After a pause, Guan Zhuofan said calmly: "I plan to set up an army military academy, and I will ask Mr. to preside over it for me." ”
