The day after New Year's Day, Qin Beiyang accompanied Mr. Guang and Mr. Akutagawa to visit Yu Garden.

Yesterday, it was nothing to raise the prestige of the horse race hall, make trouble on the Tianchan stage, recover the sweat and blood horses, and save Meng Xiaodong, the most important thing is the reunion with Sagaguang! What's more, there is also a life-saving benefactor Chen Gongzhe, and the two have agreed to reunite soon.

As for the light, he will return to Japan with his father in a few days, and Qin Beiyang still wants to accompany her.

Shanghai Yu Garden, originally a private garden in the Ming Dynasty, adjacent to the City God Temple, was owned by many trade associations in Shanghai in the late Qing Dynasty. The knife will revolt, and he once worked in Dianchun Hall, and he must have been in and out of the "beautiful girl who is good at using a hundred pounds of big knives" Zhou Xiuying.

After passing through the treasure of the town garden, "Jade Linglong", it is a huge Taihu Lake stone. Qin Beiyang, who put on the craftsman's robe again, looks closely, and it is said that it is the pearl left in the south of the Yangtze River by the Song Dynasty's "Huashi Gang", just like the condensed peak of the cliff of Taibai Mountain.

Climb the big rockery stacked by Zhang Nanyang, the master of the stacked mountains in the Ming Dynasty, knowing that it is just a pile of stones, but it gives people the illusion that the peaks and peaks, the ravines and valleys, and the deep forests are deep, just like in the mountains and mountains, and there is the ancient meaning of the sleeves.

Walking across the Jiuqu Bridge to the Lake Center Pavilion, in front of Mr. Akutagawa, there is a Chinese man wearing a light onion cotton coat and dragging a long braid on the back of his head, who is leisurely peeing into the pool......

Qin Beiyang looked ashamed and blindfolded, not letting her see this embarrassing scene.

Sitting down at the Koshin-tei teahouse, Mr. Akutagawa sighed: "Facing the Chinese pavilion standing under the icy sky, a pool of sick green water is not only a landscape painting pursued by a melancholic writer, but also a symbol of the terrible and bitter irony of this old and large country." ”

Qin Beiyang was speechless for a while, and he didn't dare to look at the green water under the Jiuqu Bridge, so it was best to have a cold current and completely freeze the water surface.

"Mr. Qin, I have been traveling in China for a few months, and I am excited to find something, but more than that, I am disappointed! What does modern China have? Isn't politics, learning, economics, and art all degenerate? Speaking of art. Since the Jiaqing and Daoguang dynasties, is there a work that can be proud of? ”

Qin Beiyang secretly listed them in his heart, and only thought of "The Legend of the Sea Flowers", "The Flower of the Sea of Evil", "The Appearance of Officialdom", and "The Travels of the Old Remnant......

Hikari said coquettishly, "Mr. Akutagawa, don't say that! ”

"I'm sorry, how much I love China!" Akutagawa's scholarly spirit is straightforward, but it is a bit like Qin Beiyang, "But now, I don't love China anymore!" Even if you want to love, you can't love it. When witnessing the corruption and degeneration of the whole of China, the people who can still love China are probably either people who are extremely depressed and addicted to the sound of dogs and horses, or shallow people who yearn for China's taste. Alas, even the Chinese themselves, as long as they are not mentally unconscious, must be more disgusting than my tourists. ”

"Mustard ......"

Qin Beiyang felt that he couldn't refute it, as a Chinese, he also loved deeply! Hate it! Even disgusted.

"A few months ago, I visited Mr. Gu Hongming, who is one of China's most famous scholars, in Beijing. When he saw me wearing a tunic and said, 'It's admirable not to wear a suit.' It's a pity that there is still a lack of braids! He talked about Duan Qirui and Wu Peifu for me, and recalled the past and said that he had corresponded with Tolstoy. Mr. Gu said with high spirits, his eyes were like torches, and his face was like a bat! ”

"Vivid! Worthy of everyone. ”

Qin Beiyang remembered that three and a half years ago, in the Jinxian Cave of Shijing Mountain, Fangshan, Beijing, the Manchu widow who dragged his long pigtails and talked eloquently.

"Mr. Qin, have you also seen Mr. Gu?"

"No, no, no, it's just that I've heard about it for a long time."

"I said to Mr. Koo, why do you feel about current affairs and not participate in current affairs? The old gentleman wrote on the rough paper with hatred: 'Old, old, old, old, old, old, ......old,

Akutagawa dipped his fingers in tea quite vividly and wrote a series of "old" characters on the table.

"I love the China I read about in books, I love the China that lives in the paintings of the Bada Shanren in Tang and Song poems, but when I really come to China and see the living China of the 20th century, then there is only 'the vast eternal meaning'!"

Mr. Akutagawa got up, and what should have been a pleasant trip ended hastily.

Leaving Yu Garden and the old city, Qin Beiyang sent Akutagawa and Light to the door of the hotel. The fifteen-year-old girl was reluctant to give up on him, and shed tears on her nine-colored mane. Qin Beiyang made an appointment with her that she could meet again before she returned to Japan.

That night, Hikari wanted to sneak out of the hotel room again, but was firmly guarded by his father. She leaned at the window and looked across the Bund, in the dim Pudong fields, where a point of light took off from the ground......

Little did she know that it was Chanco and Caproni's experiment in controlling the Four-Winged Angel Town Gravemon.

I couldn't sleep all night, and I got up with red eyes. The Marquis of Saga, who was still on official business, went downstairs to the lobby for an English breakfast, hoping to see Mr. Akutagawa, but the literati liked to sleep too lazy to be seen before ten o'clock.

A man sat down in front of her with a coffee and asked her in Japanese, "Princess Hikari!" ”

"You ......"

As soon as he raised his head, he regretted it, his father said that when he went out, he should not easily reveal his identity, and now he has already revealed his stuff.

"I'm a friend of Qin Beiyang."

The other party was dressed in a neat suit, and at first glance he was a decent person of high society, about the same age as Mr. Akutagawa, with hair waxed in the middle and a bloodless face that was a little unnaturally white.

"Are you Chinese?"

"Of course, my surname is Hai." He is quite fluent in Japanese, which makes Hikari feel very kind, "The night before yesterday, I was also there at the Tianchan Stage." He has something important to look for you, but he can't get away for a while, so he entrusts me to pick up the princess. ”

"Mr. Hai, I'll go with you!"

Hikari quickly finished breakfast and followed the stranger out of the restaurant.

"Mr. Hymers" glanced upstairs. A window opened, and Mr. Akutagawa had just gotten up, stretching and yawning, when he saw Guang get into a four-wheeled carriage and head west along Nanking Road.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at the man opposite. He doesn't look like a bad guy, and even has a temperament similar to that of Mr. Akutagawa. "Mr. Hai" said that he is a Go player and an ink painter, and he is best at painting orchids. He often traveled to Japan to sell paintings and competitions, so he learned to speak Japanese fluently.

"Mr. Hai, what is Qin Beiyang looking for me?"

"He didn't tell me, but you know, he always ...... It's mysterious! ”

"That's right! I love all things mysterious! ”

The fawn in the light chest jumped, remembering the wandering adventures with Qin Beiyang in Japan, I don't know what "mysterious" experience there will be?

"Looks like we have a lot of the same hobbies." "Mr. Hymer" sniffed close to the light hair, "The soap scent you use is unique. ”
