Chapter 621 Acting
In the blink of an eye, almost a month has passed, and during this time, only two things have changed on the surface, one is that this year's heavy snow has become a disaster, the summer is not hot, the winter is not cold, but this summer has become a drought, causing the earth to crack, and almost no rain falls, which is extremely rare in the history of Saikaido.
Perhaps it was the heavens that were too stingy in the summer, but in the winter they became generous, and from the first snow of the winter, the snow hardly stopped, even in the warm greenhouse of the Crystal House, when it was thought that the sun had not been exposed for a long time and that it was necessary to burn a brazier to keep warm.
The inside and outside of the greenhouse seem to be like two worlds, and it is difficult to see a figure outside the white expanse outside. And the house is full of green, because the light smoke likes the undefeated flowers of the four seasons, and the flowers of the four seasons are planted in wooden pots, as if they are like a sea of flowers, Zhen Qian, who saw all this, could only sigh.
According to Light Smoke, the flowers in this greenhouse are worth more than the vegetables in the other three greenhouses.
During this time, Smoke has become the real hostess of the Leased Area, and there is no one. Because one of her favorite things to do was to invite the women who stayed in the rental area from time to time to admire her flowers and taste the fresh vegetables freshly picked from the greenhouse, and for a while the reputation of light smoke reached its peak.
The second thing is that the Wa State has officially notified Zhen Qian to leave the Wa Kingdom, and sent Zhen Qian a letter written by the emperor himself, asking Zhen Qian to bring it back to the Tang Dynasty, expressing his heartfelt thanks to the Tang envoys for their treatment in the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time once again reiterating the deep friendship between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom for thousands of years, of course, he did not forget to say a few words of greeting, such as the Wa Kingdom is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, is located in a remote area, lacks property, and there are not many gifts in return, and for example, the prince Shangyou is weak and inconvenient to cross the sea and run around, etc., which can be regarded as giving Zhen Qian enough face. But no matter how Zhen Qian looks at it, he feels that he wants to get out of here!
Maybe others can't see it, but Zhen Qian tasted a taste of urgency from the national letter.
As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, and the Wa Kingdom hurried to leave by itself at this time, obviously lacking in etiquette, but some people couldn't wait any longer, and even sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to Feiqian Country to supervise Zhen Qian's departure.
"Do you really want to leave the country at this time?"
Zhen Qian walked to the window silently, and looked into the courtyard, where a group of gorgeously dressed ladies pretended to be delicate and walked through the snow to enjoy the flowers.
The final time to leave the country has been finalized, and since it is impossible to determine when the snow will stop, it is tentatively scheduled for a certain day within half a month.
Wang Tianxing stood behind Zhen Qian, his eyes also fell on the noblewomen in the courtyard, and he said reluctantly: "Zhen Lang, are you really not going to go to Osumi Country?" The Shao Er Yi Zhen faction has invited several times, hoping that Zhen Lang can go to Osumi Province to live for a while, and even the reason for going this time has been found. ”
"It's not that I want to go, it's that you want to go!"
Zhen Qian sighed and said, "This is indeed not the time to leave the Wa Kingdom, and the good show has not yet been staged?" Anyway, it's not a thing to always hide and not see, but it will make Shao Er Dongshang feel guilty, and go to inform Shao Er Yizhen, just say that I have agreed to go to Osumi Province and let him prepare! ”
Seven days later, the sky cleared, and there were countless crowds of people standing on the dock to see them off, including Japanese officials, Japanese merchants, and Tang people who did not leave the leased area, and some merchants from Silla and Balhae.
At the same time as returning to China this time, he also brought back to Datang the entourage who came to the Wa Kingdom together, and these people have been staying in Songpu City after arriving in the Wa Kingdom, counting the days, it has been more than eight months since they left Datang, and it should have been ten months since they returned to Datang, as if they had a dream.
When he saw Ito, the judge of Matsuura Castle, in the crowd, this Japanese official who had dealt with Zhen Qian for a while, showed hesitation on his face, and his body was hidden behind everyone, as if he was afraid of being discovered by Zhen Qian.
Zhen Qian's gaze only swept through the crowd, and stayed on Ito for a breath, but did not speak, which made Ito feel relieved.
For Zhen Qian, Ito felt guilty in his heart, when someone wanted to blame him, he pretended not to know, and later when they rescued the disaster together, when the victims settled down and had sufficient supplies, he actually snatched the credit of the other party, and the other party did not have any complaints.
This time, Zhen Qian left the Wa Kingdom, and Fujiwara Shuxiong, the guardian of Hizen Country, should have sent him off in person, which was etiquette, regardless of emotion, status and disagreement, but Fujiwara Shuxiong hid and disappeared, which made Ito's identity even more embarrassing.
Fortunately, it was a minor official of the Ministry of Rites of the Wa Kingdom who saw him off this time, and he barely counted the etiquette, and Zhen Qian did not mean to be embarrassed, which made Ito feel even more guilty.
Most of the people who saw him off didn't understand why Zhen Qian left the Wa Kingdom at this time, in the era of relying on monsoon sailing, this was not the best time to return to Datang, but this was related to the political exchanges between the two countries, and ordinary people didn't dare to talk too much at this time.
Of course, Zhen Qian's departure at this time also made many people nervous, especially many businessmen in the lease area, I don't know if there will be a recurrence in the lease area once Zhen Qian leaves.
To be honest, Zhen Qian was not sure in his heart, but he had already prepared for the worst, after all, the leased area had not been officially recognized by the Wa State, even if Fujiwara Shuxiong had promised it personally, it could not be reassuring at all, especially the Tang people who stayed here, and they were even more uneasy in their hearts, and they had the idea of giving up.
Zhen Qian boarded the big ship returning home, stood on the bow of the ship and left with his fists clenched at the people on the dock in countless complicated eyes.
This time Zhen Qian's envoy to the Wa State returned in vain, from this time the Tang envoy refused Li Longji to send a Taoist priest to the Wa State, there was a rift between the two sides, and then there was a storm at sea, the two Tang Zheng and deputy envoys disappeared one after another, and the Tang Dynasty who was preparing to return together sent the envoy Abe Zhongmaru did not return to the Wa State, although in the end Ji Bei Zhenbei returned to the Wa State, but only a few people returned.
Because of the disappearance of Abe Nakamaro, the letters of state and gifts to the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom were also lost, which made Zhen Qian's situation even more difficult.
If it weren't for Fujiwara Shuxiong to prove Zhen Qian's identity, Zhen Qian's identity would have been questioned by others.
The Japanese side welcomed the arrival of the Tang Dynasty envoy on the surface, but in fact they were reluctant to receive it, and also sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to test Zhen Qian by giving wine and banquets.
Speaking of Zhen Qian's envoy to the Wa Kingdom this time, not to mention the matter of the prince's study, he didn't even see the face of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom, which was a complete failure.
