In the early morning of Jiujiang, the wind blows gently from Poyang Lake, making people who have suffered from heat and dryness feel a long-lost coolness. At about half past eight, a ship slowly left the Jiujiang wharf, the whistle whined, imagining the expression of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl after falling out of love, the people on the wharf waved their hands, and said goodbye but couldn't stop the kite drifting farther and farther, if the husband and wife in this life were destined in their previous lives, this shallow rope would make the infatuated men and women at both ends meet sooner or later and get what they wanted.

On the bluestone avenue, the carriage galloped unscrupulously, and the deafening sound of the horsewhip beat the horse pulling the cart, but it couldn't stop the person who drove the boat. Chang Zhenbang jumped down from the carriage that was about to fall into Poyang Lake, but he couldn't pull back the ship that was gradually moving away, the huge ship has now become a distant mountain, and vaguely people and people started to signal to him towards the dock, as if it was a farewell, but also like a farewell.

Chang Zhenbang looked at the boat in the distance, and the ups and downs in his heart stirred up waves like the water of the Yangtze River pouring into Poyang Lake, this time he chose to pass by, a sour breath gushed from his nose to his eye sockets, and cool tears slowly fell, moistening his haggard face.

"Your Majesty, you're crying." Zhang Xiaoliu asked curiously, he has been with adults for so long, he has never seen adults cry, even when he didn't see Zhao Pan, he didn't feel so sad, and he didn't see adults cry when he was almost captured in the battle of De'an.

Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "There is a sea in the east, the wind comes out of the sea, hangs across the Yangtze River, and brings it into Poyang Lake, which actually fascinates my eyes, it's really interesting, haha." ”

Zhang Xiaoliu didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but for him, standing aside silently and protecting the safety of adults was also a matter of duty.

"How old are you, and how long have you been with me?" Chang Zhenbang looked at the ship that had almost become a fallen leaf in the distance, and said lightly.

Zhang Xiaoliu said: "My subordinates are sixteen this year, and they have been following adults from the Wenxian military camp. ”

Chang Zhenbang nodded, and said lightly: "Sixteen is really a good age, when I was sixteen years old, I was really high-spirited and arrogant, and I felt that I had read almost all the books in China, so I asked my father to send me to Dongying, and I also made Haifeng squint that day." ”

Zhang Xiaoliu said: "My lord, you are a noble person who is valued by God, so you have this opportunity to learn from the Orient, just like that Tang Sanzang went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties to become a Buddha grandfather." ”

"Perhaps!" Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "Tang Sanzang became a Buddha after a catastrophe, but he did not have a catastrophe in the country, Sakyamuni arranged for him to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, and if he did not die, he would become a Buddha, and if he died, he would die. But I'm not Tang Sanzang, and I don't go to Dongying to learn from the scriptures, and I don't dare to guarantee what I can become after returning to China, but to be honest, the time in Dongying did change my life, but I am not grateful at all, because changes are always painful inadvertently. ”

Chang Zhenbang's words, but Zhang Xiaoliu didn't understand them at all, so he didn't know where to talk. After a while, Chang Zhenbang just smiled faintly, he stretched his body and arms slightly, and said, "The wind here is so good, it makes people very comfortable when it blows." ”

Zhang Xiaoliu smiled innocently, he was called to the dock by Chang Zhenbang early in the morning to blow the wind, he really didn't know what these officials were thinking.

"This is not like the Zhenbang-kun I know, you get up late every day, and every time I look for you to go to Tokyo Bay to blow the sea breeze, I have to pull in front, and Yukio pushes you in the back."

How many times did the voice appear in the dream suddenly appeared in his ears, Chang Zhenbang slowly turned his head, and saw her smiling like a flower, and he was stunned.

"Come with me!" The other party said softly. Chang Zhenbang nodded subconsciously, turned to Zhang Xiaoliu and said, "Xiaoliu, go back first, if someone asks about me, they will say that I am busy with official business." Zhang Xiaoliu was not stupid, when he saw that these two dog men and women were about to hang their arms, he hurriedly saluted, turned around and quietly left, but he parked the carriage aside, believing that Chang Zhenbang should be able to use it whether he returned to the town to guard the yamen or went to the hotel.

Chang Zhenbang looked at that person blankly, and said for a long time: "It's good to meet you." ”

The other party smiled slightly, came to Chang Zhenbang's side, and said: "The wind here is really fresh, if Zhenbangjun flies a kite, he will definitely fly very high." ”

Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "Sakurako, don't make fun of me, the stupid thing you said when you went to the beach to play for the first time, I can't imagine that you still remember!" ”

Sakurako said: "Because it was Zhen Bangjun who said it, I will remember every sentence!" ”

Chang Zhenbang's nose was a little sour when he heard this, and he hurriedly turned his head, watching the lake roll away with a lot of debris in the river, and said, "Are you still used to living in China?" ”

Sakurako said: "Life outside the concession has not been lifted, and life in the concession is similar to Tokyo, and the food is also Japanese-style food, how can there be anything not used to it, how can you eat like you are not appetizing, so I fell on the bed for more than a week, so tired that I will give you great blessings every day." ”

"The great fortune you made is delicious." Chang Zhenbang licked his mouth unconsciously.

Sakurako listened to it and chuckled, "Does Zhenbang-kun remember the first time you ate strawberry Daifuku?" ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "How can I not remember, I actually ate the fruit, and I really jumped a lot." I thought Yukio was naughty. ”

Sakurako smiled: "You carefully squeezed out the strawberries, and then put them in a box and gave them to Yukio, and as a result, Yukio ate them with relish after school, and the look of regret was really cute." ”

"Huh." Chang Zhenbang said: "After I knew that you did it, I also grabbed three or four of them!" ”

"You, you're really like a big child, for this, Yukio fought with you with a bamboo knife." Sakurako smiled happily. "But since then, you've become very good friends."

Changzhen said with a smile: "According to the ancient saying of my country, this is called not fighting, not knowing each other!" But at that time, I was beaten badly by him, who would have thought that the children of eleven or twelve would be so powerful. But thank him! ”

"Thank him for what!" Sakurako said softly.

Chang Zhenbang said: "The body that was about to be good was injured by him again, and it is inevitable that you will have to lie down for a few more days, so scared that you still think it is your fault, and make zongzi for me to eat according to a Chinese cuisine, I will never forget that taste for the rest of my life, so I want to thank him." ”

"It's a pity that it tastes weird!" Sakurako said ashamedly.

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said: "Of course it's weird, you didn't find dates, so you used strawberries, can this taste not be weird?" But I had a great time, thank you, Sakurako. ”

Sakurako's white and tender face flushed slightly, and said, "Thank you for remembering my taste." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Thank you for staying." ”

Sakurako was stunned for a moment, her face was even more red, and she said, "Actually, I was on the ship, and I looked at the people on the dock and thought you weren't coming." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "I will definitely come, just like when you escaped from home to see me off and return to China." I will definitely come. ”

Sakurako said very sadly: "I was a fool at that time! I thought I could go to China with you. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Providence makes people." ”

Sakurako said sadly: "I didn't expect to be able to meet Zhenbangjun in Jiujiang, and I am still very grateful to God for giving me this opportunity." So I stayed. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Sakura, thank you, it's just that if you let your father know about this matter, I'm afraid it will be another trouble." ”

As soon as Sakura heard Chang Zhenbang's words, her eyes as bright as stars suddenly dimmed, and she said very politely: "I'm sorry, Zhenbangjun, if I cause trouble to you because of my stubbornness and willfulness, please forgive the little girl's ignorance, tomorrow the little girl will catch the earliest voyage back to Shanghai!" Then your father won't blame you. ”

Chang Zhenbang knew that she had misunderstood, took her hand, and said emotionally: "When I was a student, I wasn't afraid of your father, not to mention that I am now a dignified guard, and I am not afraid of him, but I am a little worried about you." ”

Sakurako took advantage of the situation to hide in Chang Zhenbang's arms and said, "I was able to escape and go with you without hesitation, and now I can leave everything behind." Please don't leave me anymore. ”

Chang Zhenbang stretched out his hand and gently stopped her and said, "I don't want to be separated from you either, but I'm married now, will you still follow me?" ”

Sakurako raised her head and looked at her, delicate but firm said: "Providence is like this, I can do anything!" Heaven made me miss your ship and let you get married before we reunited, but you and I are reunited, it is Amaterasu who gives me the best chance, let's be together, don't care so much, as long as you like me. ”

Chang Zhenbang said emotionally but ashamedly: "Thank you Sakura, I love you, but I can't do such a bad behavior for you." That's too wronged for you. ”

Sakurako smiled faintly, smiled very happily, and Chang Zhenbang, who was also smiling, was very distressed, and only listened to her: "With you, what else is there to be wronged or not, after waiting for so many years, Amaterasu finally made me wait, only gratitude, how can there be grievances." The countries of East Asia are polygamous, and as long as you love me, as long as you can keep me by your side, I am willing to be a concubine. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Sakura, don't worry, I will ask your father to agree to this marriage." Until then, stay with me! ”

Sakurako said: "Thank you Zhenbangjun!" ”

Chang Zhenbang looked at her gently and said emotionally: "Thank you Sakurako, I have suffered you for so many years." I'll make it up to you! ”

Sakurako shook her head and said gently: "There is love without bitterness, every day with you, Sakurako is very happy." If there is no Zhenbangjun's memories, Sakura may be ignorant and confused, and this will be very boring! ”

"It's really hard for you all these years! Can you tell us how you've spent your years? Chang Zhenbang said distressedly. Thinking about what it feels like to be the person who can't get it in the middle of the night, he has a deep understanding that this kind of suffering is unbearable for him as a big man, let alone a woman like Sakurako.

Sakurako said: "It's not hard, but after Zhen Bangjun returned to Japan, I went after graduating from the University of Tokyo School of Medicine, and I interned and worked at the Takekawa Group Hospital, helping more people in despair to get healthy, and watching those smiles bloom again, my life became wonderful." If I can, I hope to open a private clinic in Jiujiang to help more people. It is a pity that the imperial court of your country does not allow foreigners to open clinics. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Sakura, don't worry, after Jiujiang has set up a Western hospital, where will you take up your post." In this way, you can not only stay by my side, but also apply what you have learned so as not to fail your ability. ”

Sakurako shook her head and said, "Zhenbang-kun must not be like this!" Listen to Sakura's words, don't move the idea of the imperial court's rules, although your country is declining, but there is no shortage of clever people, these little cleverness you brush, you can't hide from them, and you will be doomed to the foreigners to betray the country and seek glory. So don't take any chances, and don't do it for Sakurako. ”

What a good woman!

Just now, a thought flashed in his head, thinking of Dongying Jiujiang Business Club through his relationship with Sakurako to obtain the target of the establishment of the Western Hospital, but he didn't expect Sakurako to not let him do this, and he didn't expect that the safety of his own life would exceed the interests of the family, which couldn't help but move Chang Zhenbang.

"If Zhenbangjun thinks that Sakura is useful and can help, he can ask Sakurako to help you treat those disabled soldiers in the military camp, they have paid so much for the country, and they deserve good treatment!" Sakurako said softly.

Chang Zhenbang couldn't help frowning and shaking his head when he thought of the atmosphere in the barracks and the temper of those old bachelors, and said: "The barracks are messy, it's not good if something happens, if you like to treat diseases and save people, why don't I open a medical clinic for you, this is also a good thing for the people of Jiujiang." ”

Sakurako shook her head and said, "Zhenbang-kun, this is not in accordance with the rules, I am from Dongying!" ”

Chang Zhenbang lovingly stretched out his hand to hook her nose and said: "On the ground of Jiujiang, I said that you are a Dongying person is a Dongying person, and I said that you are a Chinese or a Chinese, what are you afraid of!" ”

"Don't!" Sakurako insisted and said: "If someone comes up with this matter, it will be terrible to attack Zhenbangjun, Sakurako will never do anything to hurt Zhenbangjun!" ”

Seeing him so stubborn, Chang Zhenbang couldn't help but sigh and said, "You look at this way, I'll open a pharmacy in the name of Xiaozhu, are you in charge of it well?" No one will say anything! ”

Sakurako thought for a moment and said, "Will Mrs. Kotake agree?" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Xiaozhu is a kind-hearted child, and she is still happy to help people." Okay, Sakurako, you promise me! ”

Sakurako thought about it, and finally nodded with a red face, and agreed, Chang Zhenbang was also very happy to see her agree, and immediately stretched out his hand and hugged her into the carriage, and happily rode away.
