CHAPTER XXXIII
The Abe Zhongmaro mentioned by Jin Da Luoya was one of the envoys sent by Japan to the Tang Dynasty during the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the most famous envoy to the Tang Dynasty so far.
After he entered the Tang Dynasty, he changed his Chinese name to Chao Heng, and later participated in the imperial examination, entered high school, and served as the Tang Zuo Scattered Cavalry Attendant Annan Duhu. It can be regarded as an outstanding envoy of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges.
"Let's put aside the matter of this Abe Zongchun for a while, I want to listen to the story of this porcelain vase now." I said to Kim Big Bucktooth.
Kevenster stopped: "Don't worry, I'm still a little interested in this Abe Zongchun." Especially his name: Zong Chun. It reminds me of a person. ”
I looked at Venster, "I know what you mean, but it's just a name." ”
"What are you two talking about? This Abe Zongchun is just a businessman who comes to China and likes antiques in his spare time. Kim looked at us with a confused expression, completely unaware of what we were talking about.
"I'm curious about his name, I remember that the Japanese are very particular about naming names, and they don't come up blindly, if he is really a descendant of that person, then the purpose of his coming here is not ordinary."
"For what purpose?" Now I realized that Venster and I seemed to be thinking about the same thing, but in fact we weren't at all.
"Do you also guess that he is the descendant of the Ikyu Zongjun?" Venster asked me rhetorically, "Because of the word Zongchun in his name." ”
I nodded, indeed, just now I thought of the famous monk of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in Japan. This is where we come to the Japanese name culture.
I forget how many years it was, in short, from that year on, Japanese civilians had their own surnames. In the past, those who had surnames in Japan were all aristocratic families who were either rich or noble. And in that year, the emperor decreed that "every citizen must have a surname." After that, Japanese civilians officially had their own surnames.
But here, take the surname and take the surname. At that time, the aristocracy felt that commoners would cause chaos if they took their family names. Therefore, the big families in various places stipulate that they are not allowed to take the surname of their own family.
In the end, this evolved into the fact that ordinary people, even with their surnames and names, needed to avoid those big families.
Abe Zongchun, Abe doesn't have to explain, he is a member of Abe's family, and he is Zongchun. Since the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan, after the prince monk "Yixiu Zongchun", this name has been rare, except for the relatives of the Yixiu brother's family, ordinary people do not dare to take it, even if it is other families, they will avoid the word "Zongchun" because of face problems.
That means that this Abe Zongchun is a member of the Abe family on one side, and a member of the Abe family on the other side.
After Venster analyzed this passage to me, to be honest, my mind was messed up. Because I didn't know that there was such an unwritten rule for Japanese people to choose names.
On the other hand, I suddenly thought of one thing, that is, Ikkyu Sojun's father is Emperor Go-Komatsu, and his mother is from the Fujiwara family. Meaning, this Abe Sochun is still a member of the royal family??
"It's possible, but that's not the point. Rather, have you ever heard a rumor about Ikyu Sojun?" Venster said, pulling out his phone, "I'll show you, and you'll understand." ”
"That's it......," Venster excitedly handed me his phone.
I took it and took a look, and on my phone was the silhouette of an old newspaper that had been yellowed and could no longer be yellowed, and the time on it was the first year of the Yuan Dynasty!
"The first year of Genji! In 1865, the newspaper was an antique. I was excited.
"Don't pay attention to this, you look at the content." Venster pointed to his phone.
I continued to scroll down, and the headline of the newspaper read, literally translated: The treasure box that was mysteriously found in the tomb of Grand Master Ikkyu was stolen.
I have some difficulty reading the following text, but I can probably guess one thing: in the first year of Genji, at the order of the emperor, the tomb of the great master Ikkyu was moved to a certain temple, and the treasure box requested by the shogunate (probably Ashikaga Yoshimitsu) was found in the tomb. The next day, the treasure box was stolen, and all the staff involved disappeared......
"Venster, I don't understand, does this treasure box mean......" I didn't say any more.
"It is indeed an kyanite glass box, the two that have not been recorded too much since ancient times. My initial judgment is orange or green. Venster nodded, took his phone back, and looked at the old newspaper as well.
"Wait, I'm a little messed up right now." I haven't reacted yet,
"Me too...... Still, I'm going to say one thing. It was when Emperor Komatsu was seized power by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu that the treasure box appeared for a while. What happened next......" Venster suddenly covered his head.
"Don't worry, think slowly......" I walked over and patted him.
At this time, Jin Da Bucktooth, who was forgotten by us, said weakly: "You have been talking, I seem to have heard that Abe Zongchun say...... However, you still don't listen to the porcelain vase, I feel that there is a connection. ”
"Shut up, don't you see your Uncle Wen has a headache, what will you say." I drank him away, and then looked outside, and found that the sun was already setting in the west.
I quickly looked at the time, and it was already six o'clock.
"Venster, it's six o'clock. It takes an estimated two hours to get to the Beijing Hotel. Let's go now, shall we?" I asked softly.
Venster looked up, his eyes hollow, as if he was about to die. This startled me, and I hurriedly shook him: "Are you alright?" ”
It took a while for Venster to come to his senses. He looked at me, then outside, and said, "Did you just see a string of dark shadows?"
I listened with a confused expression: "What black shadow?" It's always just me and Big Bucktooth?"
"Oh, it looks like my problem, you just said six o'clock? It's not too early, let's go and see that Abe Sojun. ”
As he spoke, Venster called the men on standby outside and asked them to drive the car in.
At this time, the golden bucktooth that we have been forgotten all along, was finally recalled by Venster.
He turned to look at Jin Da Buck Ya, and suddenly showed a suddenly realized expression, as he said, he walked over and had to shake hands with Jin Da Buck Ya: "I remember that Abe Zongchun also invited you, no, you can take my car, just talk to me on the way, about these three porcelain vases." ”
When Jin Da Bucktooth heard this, he smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that you, the old man, won't let me say it." ”
The actual result was exactly as Kim Da Bucktooth said, and Venster didn't give him a chance to speak at all. After getting into the car, Venster directly took out a notebook and entered a web page to browse.
I wanted to see what he was up to, but I was persuaded by the pages full of Greek. And when I looked at Jin Da bucktooth in the back, I found that he had already closed his eyes.
Well, I don't have a chance to listen to the story of the vase now......
By the time we arrived at the Beijing Hotel, located next to Bauhinia City, it was exactly 7:50.
As I was about to get out of the car, Venster suddenly asked me if I felt anything wrong. I shook my head suspiciously.
Just as I was wondering, I had already walked into the hotel.
"Jinsang, and this gentleman." Nabe Sojun has been waiting for us in the hall for a long time.
When he saw me, he showed a puzzled expression for some reason: "Sir, is this your buddy?" ”
"No, it's a friend, don't mind?" Venster looked at me and smiled awkwardly.
"Don't mind, don't mind, my husband's friend is my friend." Abe Sojun said and welcomed us into the private room on the top floor.
In the elevator, Venster suddenly poked me: "Your clothes, hey." ”
My clothes, I looked at my beach pants and short sleeves......
……
In the private room, in addition to me and Venster, Jin Da Bucktooth and Abe Sojun, there were also Abe Sojun and Venster's buddies standing on both sides.
Abe Zongchun looked at us and smiled inexplicably: "I know that everyone is one of the best masters in the capital to identify antiques. Especially this gentleman. He looked at Venster, "I don't know what to call him?"
"Dragon, Venster Dragon." Venster said lightly.
"Wensang, look up for a long time. It turned out to be a big family in Greece, the Venster family. Abe Sojun smiled, "Here is a descendant of Abe Nakamaro of the Abe family, and he is also a descendant of the archmage Ichishu Sojun." ”
I didn't expect Abe Sojun to declare his identity so quickly. Unexpectedly, he is really a descendant of Yixiu Zongchun.
I wanted to knock on the side to see if he knew anything about the box. But tonight's home game is obviously not mine......
"I didn't expect Abejun's family background to be so prominent, I am a person who sighs to himself, disrespectful and disrespectful."
"Where, don't hide it from Wen Sang, Wen Sang and I were originally all the way."
"I wonder what Abe-kun means by that?"
Abe Zongchun laughed: "There is a thing in despicable people, Wen Sang will know it at a glance." ”
With that, Abe Sojun clapped his hands, and one of his men next to him walked up with a suitcase in his hand.
Abe took the box, put it on the table and opened it, and in addition to the tortoise shell, there was also something that I was familiar with.
"It's ...... Expatriate token, this should be ......" Venster was excited for a moment, and muttered, "Judge of the Western Regions?"
"Yes, that's right, my ancestor Abe Nakamaro, who dealt with you. He has also been canonized as one of you. Abe looked at Venster with a smug expression.
"Can this guy still be a judge of the Western Regions?" I whispered next to Venster and asked.
"It should be ......," Venster was speechless for a moment.
"I don't know who this little brother is?"
Hearing this, I glanced over and saw that Abe Sojun was looking at me.
I laughed, "Oh, I'm just a rough man." I'm not a big person, my name is Wang Hao. ”
"Wang Sang, have we met somewhere, the contemptible people think you are very familiar." Abe Sojun looked at me with an impenetrable look......
"Yes, then dare to ask Abe-kun where he has seen me?"
