Chapter 18: Déjà vu

"The conditions in the military school are not as good as giving up, if there is anything wrong, Mr. can tell me, and I will arrange it for Mr." Chiho Kirino bowed to Lin Yiqing and said softly.

"That's already good, thank you, Chiho-san." Lin Yiqing looked at his neat and elegant room and said gratefully.

"You're welcome, sir." Chiho Kirino hung her head, bowed slightly, and said softly.

"Don't always call me sir, Chiho-sama." Lin Yiqing bowed and returned the salute, he hesitated, but still said, "If you can, just call me Lin Jun or Hanpeng." ”

Although he knew the etiquette of Japan in this era, somehow, he still wanted the beautiful girl in front of him to call his name, although he couldn't say why.

Chiho Kirino raised her head, looked at Lin Yiqing, and nodded softly.

"Okay, Lin Jun."

"By the way, there is one thing, I want to trouble Miss Chiho, I don't know if it's inconvenient." Lin Yiqing suddenly remembered something and said to Chiho Kirino.

"Lin Jun, please speak." Chiho Kirino looked directly at Lin Yiqing's face, and Lin Yiqing noticed that her gaze at her seemed to be a little different from the day before, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"I ...... I want to read the newspapers, the most recent newspapers and the previous ones, any newspaper, Japanese, foreign, can Chiho-san help me get some? Lin Yiqing asked.

"Absolutely." Chiho Kirino nodded.

"Thank you so much, Miss Chiho." Lin Yiqing said happily.

Seeing Lin Yiqing's happy appearance, Kirino Chiho's eyes flashed with doubt, of course she didn't know that the reason why Lin Yiqing wanted to read the newspapers of this era so strongly was to understand the information of this era as soon as possible.

Lin Yiqing noticed Chiho Kirino's gaze, realized his gaffe, and quickly straightened his face, but at this time, Chiho Kirino looked at him, and his face suddenly turned slightly red.

"There is one thing, I have always wanted to ask Lin Jun, I don't know if Lin Jun will be surprised." Chiho Kirino said, her voice was as soft and pleasant as usual, but Lin Yiqing could still hear the rare excitement and uneasiness hidden in her voice.

"Miss Chiho, please ask, as long as I know, I will tell you." Lin Yiqing noticed her abnormality and immediately replied.

Chiho Kirino gently took out a small paper roll from her arms and solemnly held it in front of Lin Yiqing.

Lin Yiqing took the scroll of paper and opened it a little strangely, this is a copper engraving of a character cut out of an old newspaper, a portrait of a young man.

The young man in the portrait is dressed in a dress similar to a Western naval dress, wearing a warm hat with dragon patterns on the cuffs and neckline of the dress, and is clearly a high-ranking general of the Qianguo country, with a handsome face, but slightly thin, and his eyes, although sharp and deep, seem to have a deep melancholy.

Although the photographic technology of this era was not yet developed, and copper engravings were mostly used to express human figures, this portrait was painted very expressively. Lin Yiqing looked at it for a while, and suddenly realized that this young man was so similar to himself!

He hurriedly looked at the text under the portrait and saw that it was written in Japanese "Lin Yizhe, Minister of the Navy of the Qianguo".

Who is this Lin Yizhe? Or the Minister of the Admiralty? Isn't this Admiralty too young?

Thinking that this might be Chiho Kirino's temptation, Lin Yiqing's heart suddenly hung in the air.

"Lin Jun knows this person, right?" Chiho Kirino asked, "Your country's Minister of the Navy, Yoshizhe Hayashi." ”

"Acquaintance." Lin Yiqing only replied to this one word, and he didn't dare to say anything.

"This minister Lin Yizhe, whose name is Kunyu, is the descendant of Lin Wenzhong, a famous minister of the Qianguo. I heard Lin Jun say in person that day, Lin Jun is also the descendant of Lin Wenzhong, and Lin Jun's cousin Hanpeng, I want to know, are you brothers? Chiho Kirino looked at Lin Yiqing, and her eyes suddenly radiated an eager light.

"It's not." Lin Yiqing shook his head and replied in a hoarse voice, "We'...... It's a distant relative, but I've never met each other, because I was ...... since I was a child The imperial court selected, received training, and carried out a special mission, so that he had cut off contact with his hometown very early, even if he became a big official later, I could not contact him, let alone accept his help, otherwise it would not be beneficial to him or me. ”

After Lin Yiqing finished saying this completely nonsense lie, he couldn't help but secretly admire his quick wit.

"Oh, that's ......" The girl's gaze in front of her suddenly darkened.

"I'm sorry, it's rude to take the liberty of asking such a question." Chiho Kirino said with her head down.

Lin Yiqing returned the portrait of Lin Yizhe in his hand to Chiho Kirino, who carefully rolled up the paper roll and solemnly put it into his arms.

"Lin Jun is tired after a day's work, please rest! I'll arrange for someone to deliver the newspaper. Kirino Chiho bowed to Lin Yiqing again, Lin Yiqing bowed back, Kirino Chiho slowly withdrew, and gently closed the door.

Lin Yiqing listened to Chiho Kirino's footsteps gradually disappearing, until it disappeared completely, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The tension of the day has only been completely relaxed now, Lin Yiqing lay down on the bed, did not take off his clothes, and fell asleep after a while.

In his sleep, he came to a strange place, where it seemed that a wedding banquet was being held.

"Kunyu! Congratulations! ”

"Congratulations! Congratulations! ”

Kunyu? Lin Yiqing somehow felt unusually familiar with this name.

Accompanied by bursts of congratulatory sounds, on the lively wedding banquet, the young groom, dressed in a splendid dress and hat with saffron, was clinking glasses with relatives and friends who came to toast and bless.

"Kunyu! Come! I wish you an early birth to a precious son! A young scribe dressed in official uniform stepped forward, raised the sprinkling cup in his hand, and brought it to the bridegroom with joy.

At this time, the groom had just drunk several cups of toasts from relatives and friends, his cheeks were slightly red, he looked at the empty wine cup, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, while the maid on the side hurriedly stepped forward and filled the wine cup with the wine jug in her hand.

Lin Yiqing saw that it should be to prevent the groom from being overwhelmed, and the wine glasses prepared at the wedding banquet were all small wine cups, but after a toast, the groom could already say a lot.

Not far away, the bride who toasted at the women's table threw a concerned glance at the groom.

Lin Yiqing could tell from her gaze that she was married as she wished, although she may never have really been in love with her husband. She married him, it was the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker. He may love her, she may know. She will also love him after marriage, but in this kind of love, there is no dream haunting the soul, but it is just such a natural situation that normal young men and women in this era promise each other, respect each other, and be partners in their future lives. As long as both parties are healthy and healthy, the rest is just a matter of nature.
