Chapter 129: The Gift (1)

"Oops~~ This is His Excellency Tsunazaburo Kato......"

As soon as he heard Fan Zhenglong's translation, Kishimaru was anxious, and hurriedly explained, as soon as he was halfway through his words, he was glared at by Tsunasaburo Kato, and immediately became half a cut shorter, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Don't dare to ask, this is the famous Chu Fan Chu Gongzi? Brother Yixian, look up for a long time! "Tsunazaburo Kato learned the etiquette of the Ming people, and although the pronunciation was a little strange, he spoke the Ming dialect - the Japanese people of this era were still proud to be able to speak the words of the Ming Dynasty, just as it was a truth that later countries were desperately trying to learn English.

Chu Fan was embarrassed to admit the wrong person, and when he heard him call out his own words, he was shocked - it seems that the Kato family has put a lot of effort into winning this monopoly, and even inquired about his own words.

"In Shimokato Tsunazaburo, Tadaharu Kato is an uncle." Tsunazaburo Kato said with a smile. Before his words fell, the auspicious pill was busy interjecting again, "Your Excellency Prince Chu, Your Excellency Kato is the president of the three major industries of Nagasaki silk shop, porcelain shop, and paper shop, and his old man stomped his foot, and this Nagasaki city will be shaken three times." ”

This time, Tsunazaburo Kato didn't interrupt him again, but waited with great interest for Fan Zhenglong to finish turning it over before respectfully arching his hand, "I can't be the head of the three lines, it's really the sages in the same industry who take care of my Kato's face...... How can San Lang himself be virtuous, how dare he override all the sages? …… Compared with Brother Yixian, San Lang is ashamed of himself...... This fairy grass cigarette is just tobacco, and Brother Yixian can turn decay into magic, which is really a stroke of genius! …… Saburo admires! Admire! ”

His words were quite informative, and Chu Fan pondered while perfunctory.

First of all, this Tsunazaburo introduced the Kato clan's status in the business world through Kichijomaru, and was able to win the presidents of the three most profitable guilds in one fell swoop, which is enough to show how rich and powerful the Kato clan is;

Secondly, Tsunazaburo put a high hat on Chu Fan without a trace, what kind of decay turned into magic, what a stroke of genius; In addition to wearing a hat, there is also a faint meaning of inquiring about the secret recipe.

In the end, it is Tsunasaburo's self-humility, what do people give face so that he can become the chairman of the three associations, Chu Fan knows that the bigger the family, the more he fights for such an important position as the head of Nagasaki, without three or two brushes, how can it be so easy to sit firmly?

So Chu Fan immediately sounded the alarm in his heart - this Kato Tsunazaburo seems to be just a front station for Kato Tadaji, his status is so high, and his words and actions are so clean and leaky, so what should the main owner Kato Tadaji look like?

While speaking, several people had already passed through the front yard and came to the flower hall in the small side courtyard.

Kichimaru, who has been following behind, hesitated to enter after arriving at the door of the flower hall, staring at Tsunazaburo Kato with pitiful eyes, which means that the other party does not speak, he only dares to stay at the door.

"Come in! This is your pavilion," Kato Tsunazaburo scolded with a smile when he saw this, but he still used the Ming dialect, obviously deliberately saying it to Chu Fan, "Why are you doing such a pitiful look?" Is it disgusting? ”

Although Kichimaru didn't understand, he could see what Tsunazaburo meant, and his face suddenly smiled, and he came in to help Zhang Luo with tea and snacks.

Everyone sat down, the greetings were over, and Tsunazaburo arched his hand and said, "Brother Yixian is here in Nagasaki, I, the Kato clan, as a landlord, should have been swept away and the friendship of the landlord should have been exhausted...... However, family affairs have always been decided by the elders, and this ushered in the matter of sending it, without the nod of the uncle, San Lang would never dare to specialize...... In addition, Brother Yixian is a member of the kingdom and has a valuable status, so Kato does not dare to treat it as ordinary...... The preparation of the gift alone took some time...... Until yesterday, everything was rough and complete, and at the order of the uncle, San Lang dared to visit, and asked Brother Yixian to move his jade toes lightly and come to the cold house...... Brother Yixian is the uncle of the family, which is no less than the prince of Wenwang, and I hope that Brother Yixian will understand. ”

Chu Fan heard him compare himself to Jiang Taigong and Kato Tadashi to King Wen of Zhou, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart: in the end, it is a barbarian, this metaphor is so nondescript.

Tadaji Kato wanted to invite him to dinner, and it was clearly written on the post, but as soon as Tsunazaburo said this, Chu Fan suddenly became interested in the words "a little courtesy" on the post.

According to his thoughts, this kind of entertainment is nothing more than giving some souvenirs when he leaves, but Tsunasaburo said that it has taken a lot of time just to prepare gifts.

What kind of gift is it, such a big deal?

"Thanks to Uncle Ling's wrong love, I dare not be ashamed," the gift matter flashed in Chu Fan's heart, and he had to be reserved in front of him, don't let these people look down on him, "Anyone who is just a lifelong member of the school district of Penglai County, Dengzhou, is driven by his livelihood and crosses the ocean to do the trivial things that will seek profit, although he does not violate the way of the saint, he has fallen behind...... Even if he has won a little fame in this business road, it is not as high as living in a temple, or a herdsman in the wilderness, walking the way of helping the country through the world, strengthening the country and enriching the people, it is the right way for men. ”

As soon as he said this, Tsunasaburo was a little embarrassed - Tsunazaburo said it, but it was just to show the importance of the Kato family in the business world, how could it be like Chu Fan, as soon as he opened his mouth, he stood at the height of the world.

"And the fairy grass cigarette is not the work of one person," Chu Fan continued to talk eloquently, "This Chen Shangren Chen Keji is the guest of my Daming Dengzhou Bingbei Dao Wang Tingqi Wang; And this Liu Zhongwen and Liu Gongzi are the second sons of Liu Zhiyang, a guerrilla general in Dengzhou, Daming...... Without the concerted efforts of many colleagues of our Daming East India Company, how could we make fairy grass cigarettes drift across the ocean and benefit the East. ”

Tsunazaburo Kato chuckled in his heart when he heard this.

After Tadaji Kato came, he naturally had a clear understanding of Chu Fan's small caravan, up and down, inside and out, but what they could observe and hear was only superficial. Although he knew that the core of Chu Fan's team was Chu, Chen, Liu, Ge and others, he couldn't understand everyone's background.

Now Chu Fan took the initiative to bring out the background, which made Kato Tsunasaburo even more anxious: these people really have the official background of the Ming Dynasty.

After you came and I tried each other, Chu Fan acted in a full set, pretended to be unable to do it again and again, took Chen Shangren, Liu Zhongwen, Ge Bi, and of course Yan Ruxue Yan's master and servant, as well as the gifts that had been prepared for Kato Tadaharu a long time ago, got into the carriage prepared by Tsunazaburo, and the group headed towards the south of Nagasaki City.

After walking for more than half an hour, I finally came to the foot of Mt. Hoshitori, which is more than a mile from the southernmost city of Nagasaki.

After getting out of the carriage, Chu Fan looked up and saw that Xingtori Mountain was surrounded by two small mountains.

White walls and black tiles, vermilion lacquer gates, what a new and beautiful mansion!
