The lady's room on the top floor of the Red Rose Hotel was renovated in Japanese style and turned into a Japanese suite with a bedroom, living room and other combinations. It is now Ashikaga Erika's residence.
In the living room.
Lu Ming and the extremely peaceful Ashikaga Erika sat on their knees on the tatami.
Opposite the tea table are Erika's parents, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Ashikaga Yoko.
However, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu changed his surname to Riku Yoshimitsu.
Because the surname Ashikaga is so eye-catching, it can easily arouse people's associations. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's identity in the Montenegro household registration is called Riku Yoshimitsu, and he has lived in Montenegro since he was a child.
He wanted to change his name to Zhongzhou, so he used the biggest one in Montenegro as his surname. This was because he admired the strong.
However, now that he has arrived in Shengjing, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has adopted a new Japanese identity and is known as Odawara Yoshimitsu to the outside world.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was talking about his various contacts with new immigrants from Japan.
In fact, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's current identity is an employee of the Strategic Analysis Department of Montenegro Investment Company, a job that Lu Ming randomly found. Although he majored in finance in college and was a top student at Kyoto University, one of the best in Japan, he has been away from this industry for a long time after all.
Having a job saves him from thinking about the affairs of the Ashikaga family all day long.
But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was very concerned about the situation of Japanese immigrants and often visited there.
Lu Ming was quite interested, so Ashikaga Yoshimitsu kept talking.
Next to her, Erika yawned a little and covered her mouth with her hands. Lu Ming looked at her and smiled: "Are you sleepy?"
"No..." Erika shook her little head.
"Ah, Mr. Commissioner, we also say goodbye! Thank you for your hospitality!" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was kneeling on his knees, bowed deeply, and Ashikaga Yoko behind him also bowed.
"Okay, I'll see you off!" Lu Ming looked at Erika, "Just go to sleep, you don't have to wait for me."
"Hmm..." Erika nodded obediently.
However, Lu Ming saw that she looked a little reluctant to give up. It was obvious that although she was sleepy, she was still willing to spend more time with her parents and said, "How about this? How many days will you go back to your parents' house?"
Erika's little face immediately showed a look of joy and said: "Okay!"
Ashikaga Yoko had been watching her daughter and her "son-in-law" get along with each other with concern. At this time, there was a look of reassurance on her face. She probably felt that although she did not choose her "son-in-law", neither her husband nor Erika had any choice at all.
Quan, it can only be like this, but it seems that the "son-in-law" still loves Erica very much. At least Erica will not suffer in life. As a mother, she cannot protect her daughter. It can be seen that her daughter's life is not bad, so she feels a little bit.
comfort.
…
The Ashikaga couple live in the Akihito Apartment in the Montenegro Concession. It is a seven-story high-end apartment complex, so there is no problem with security.
Qing'e 19 stayed behind. Whenever Erika went out, she would accompany her. In order to protect Erika, she once executed a young master of the Japanese Ogotsu Michikawamoto family.
Lu Ming drank a cup of tea and left, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu followed him out.
Next to the car in front of the apartment building, Lu Ming smiled and said: "Uncle Ashikaga, you don't have to send me off. I won't be able to leave if you send me back and forth like this."
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu probably didn't expect that even without Erika, Commissioner Zhang would still call him "uncle". He was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Commissioner-sama, you can just call me Yoshimitsu."
Lu Ming nodded: "Do I have to call you Yoshimitsu? Does that mean that Uncle Ashikaga still has deep regrets about Erika's fate and does not recognize me as his son-in-law at all? So, it's not you who is polite to me.
It's because you subconsciously don't want to admit the existence of my son-in-law. I know psychology, am I right?"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face paled slightly, and he wanted to say something. Lu Ming waved his hand, "Uncle Ashikaga, let's go have a drink, just the two of us men, not their women, come on, get in the car!" After speaking, he came to save Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
As Manzhu got on the bus, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't dare to refuse too much, so he had to follow him and get on the bus.
What Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't expect was that the black car drove out of the Montenegro Concession area, passed through several blocks of the bustling Chuo District, and finally entered the Japanese Concession area.
The Japanese people have been operating in Shengjing for a long time, and the concession area is like entering Kyoto. Various Japanese-style shops are hung with red lanterns, and the cherry trees are illuminated by colorful lights. The environment is extremely elegant.
This place is different from the "Rizhao New District" being built by the land reclamation group. Most of the new immigrants are poor Japanese people.
The black car stopped in front of an extremely quiet izakaya. Lu Ming smiled and said, "It may not look like this place, but I heard it's real Kyoto cuisine. Uncle Ashikaga, it should be your favorite taste."
"Come here? Commissioner, is it convenient for you?" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was extremely surprised.
After all, the "son-in-law" is the biggest one in Montenegro, but he is far away from his own territory and comes to the Japanese concession area, so don't let anything happen.
Although he was far away from the upper-level news, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also knew that Montenegrins and Japanese people were somewhat incompatible.
That "son-in-law" simply went into the tiger's den alone.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you like it!" The guy in the peaked hat outside had already opened the car door, and Lu Ming got out of the car. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had no choice but to follow him.
The black car had the license plate of the Montenegro Concession. Not far away, a few drunken samurai who were performing a show of peeling apples with samurai swords in front of the fruit shop noticed it and staggered over.
There were also people with good intentions surrounding me.
Lu Ming ignored them and went into the izakaya by himself. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu shook his head and sighed, but he had no choice but to follow behind.
The izakaya is not big, but it is very clean and elegant. The proprietress with a gentle smile on her face guided Lu Ming and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu into a private room.
Lu Ming gestured at the menu and ordered all the famous Kyoto delicacies, such as "saury fish sashimi" and "hatai yaki". He also ordered two bottles of sake.
"Drink less..." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu waved his hand repeatedly.
Lu Ming smiled: "I know uncle, you are quite capable of drinking, but you haven't drank much in these years, right? It's just you and me today, let's all drink more."
When the landlady brought the wine, Lu Ming personally poured a full glass for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
"Mr. Commissioner, I toast you to this drink..." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu just picked up the wine glass, Lu Ming waved his hand, "Don't toast anyone, let's just do whatever we want. I want to toast you, thank you uncle for having a good daughter, why?
They all feel that I am a bit shameless, and the way you respect me is just a few words, thanking me for rescuing you and your wife, and thanking me for taking care of Erika, which is meaningless."
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu put the wine glass back in embarrassment.
Lu Ming fiddled with the wine glass, "Actually, Erica is at the age when she is innocent and brilliant, and I treat her like a little sister and I have never done anything."
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was startled, extremely surprised, but this topic was a bit embarrassing, and he didn't know how to continue.
"As for me, I don't actually have a good impression of Japan. When I was in the East China Sea, General Lu and I had our first sensational lawsuit, which was about sending a devil from Japan to the gallows..." Lu Ming looked like he was recalling
What are you talking about? "Also, personally, although I have no prejudice against any ethnic group, I always feel that the people of small islands often have a strong sense of crisis, are too aggressive, and tend to go to extremes. Of course, it also depends on history.
It has formed a cultural tradition. In fact, the people of Central China are also very aggressive, but in another way."
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu lowered his head and said nothing.
Lu Ming raised his wine glass and clinked it with him, "The topic is a bit far away. My uncle's family is suffering. Hearing me criticize the motherland must make you feel complicated. But in fact, sometimes, it is a good thing for people to look beyond the ethnic group to see problems. Unfortunately, there are differences between ethnic groups.
, there is always a competitive relationship. Originally, the imperial federation was not necessarily the way for ethnic groups to live in harmony, but unfortunately, it is now gradually coming to an end."
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu raised his neck, took half a glass of wine in, and sighed: "You are right, I am on the run, my father is under house arrest, and most of my relatives are in prison, and some of them are afraid that they would have..." Alas, I
What can I think about, and what can I do? I’m like a walking zombie. Sometimes I can’t sleep in the middle of the night, so I can only try not to think about these things..."
However, it was Lu Ming who started to talk nonsense, which made him suddenly have the urge to talk nonsense.
