On the day she arrived at Beji Village, Lin Yueru had just put away her gifts and was about to go to the kitchen to cook some of his favorite side dishes for her father and have a drink with him.
There was a knock on the door.
Lin Yueru opened the door with Xiaohong. Under the noon sun, a beauty wearing a white kimono was looking at him with a smile.
She is not tall, probably less than five feet tall, which is about 1.6 meters as the master said.
But her face is very attractive, and her personality looks gentle and pleasant. At first glance, she is the type that men like.
Behind her was a female warrior, about 27 or 27 years old. She was wearing a black warrior uniform.
There are two Japanese knives, one long and one short, stuck in the belt. The scabbards are made of pearl fish skin and are inlaid with many turquoises.
Lin Yueru could tell that this was a good knife, and this man was also a good hand with a knife.
At this time, Duke Wei came out, saluted the young woman, and introduced: "Madam, this is my little daughter, Lin Yueru. She just came to visit me from Zunhua."
"It turns out to be Sister Lin. I heard about you in Yang Jun's letter. It turns out that my sister is so beautiful. No wonder Yang Jun was full of complimentary words about her in his letter."
Mrs. Yitian immediately knew that this was Lin Yueru, Yang Fan's second wife. A trace of jealousy, a trace of wariness, and inexplicable envy and other complex emotions flashed through her heart.
Lin Yueru knew that the stall owner of Dongchang was a ruthless person, and she was also the adopted daughter of Governor Wei. She held an important position for Yang Fan and would not leave Yang Fan's side easily.
I don’t know if Yang Fan sent her here when she came to Japan.
"I've met Madam. Last time she came to Zunhua, she was stingy and couldn't get to know Madam. It's a pity. This time, my husband is going to send an envoy to Nagasaki to handle some important things. I just want to come and see my father, so I
I'm here. I've just stayed and haven't had time to meet my wife yet. I'm really rude." Lin Yueru bowed and said.
It must have been today. The white sailboat arrived, and a group of people came down to Duke Wei's residence. All of this was monitored by this woman's men. She was worried, so she came over to learn about the following situation.
This woman is so cautious. She doesn't know if she has some shady secret or some serious plot, so she is so cautious.
Lin Yueru is also a master at reading people, and she immediately noticed something about them.
"My sister is a guest from far away. How can I help my sister to visit me? Although my sister and I have never met, we have been close friends for a long time. How about my sister come to live with me and we spend the night together," Sakurai said.
Tao sent out an invitation to her best friend.
Lin Yueru rolled her eyes, thinking this was a good idea.
The other party attaches great importance to the relationship with the master, and wants to have a good relationship with the people around him, especially the people on his bed. This is something she can see at a glance.
And when I came here this time, I wanted to persuade her to agree to lead troops to the Ming Dynasty to assist the master in cleaning up the Donglin stronghold in Zhangjiawan.
This stronghold is too close to Zunhua, and it is right at the feet of the emperor. It supports a lot of manpower and is Donglin's eyes and ears in the north. It makes the master feel uncomfortable.
People like Dong Lin have repeatedly made trouble for me, and I also feel that it is necessary to repair them and break one of their legs first, so that at least they will not be so smart in doing things in the future.
Lin Yueru looked at Governor Wei. After all, it was not good to run out just after returning home.
"Go, Madam takes great care of me here. Since Madam invites you to be a guest, you can stay there for a few days. Don't worry about me here. You've already come to Nagasaki, so it's not too late for a few days."
Lin Yueru immediately gave a blessing to Sakurai Momo, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Madam, for taking care of my father. Since Madam invites me, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
"What do you mean, we are one family to begin with. Why should we be separated? Mr. Wei, I will take my daughter away." As he said this, he winked at Mr. Wei mischievously, took Lin Yueru's little hand, and talked and laughed affectionately.
Went to her cabin.
The scenery of this village is very beautiful, with green mountains as a barrier and clear and shallow streams meandering.
Small fish and shrimps were playing among the cobblestones. Moss stained the stone steps, and vines covered the rocks.
The cool wind blew by, and flocks of birds flew across the sky. Wooden houses were scattered among them.
At the end of the path is a lake.
There is a two-story Japanese-style attic in the center of the lake. The exterior facade is in the style of sliding doors. The entire exterior wall and roof are covered with gold foil, making it look magnificent.
A small bridge meanders connecting the lake shore. It is the only way in and out of the villa in the middle of the lake. This is where Sakurai Momo lives.
While Lin Yueru was chatting with Sakurai Momo, she secretly explained why she wanted to live in such a place. It was so insecure.
Lin Yueru was wary in her heart. Generally, insecure women tend to be interested in strong men, but her own man happened to be very strong and a pure man.
When they arrived at the Golden Pavilion, Sakurai Momo first asked her servants to arrange lunch, and then took Lin Yueru to the hot springs.
Two beauties were taking a bath to relieve their fatigue in the steamy natural hot spring while floating on the water on a wooden tray. There were fish, sushi, and plum wine on the tray.
A cook was roasting sliced mullet roe on the shore with the flames of strong liquor.
Lin Yueru knew that this was an extremely expensive delicacy. The Japanese called this Tang Mo.
When a woman makes a handkerchief, the progress is fast. One is deliberately making friends, and the other is asking for help. The two quickly became warm and even started making boudoir jokes.
Lin Yueru admired in her heart, Sakurai Momo is also a person who understands elegance. She manages her home so elegantly and is also a woman who enjoys life. The two of them have something in common.
"Sister, try this. This is the best Tang Mo made in Nagasaki. It goes perfectly with this jar of plum wine that I buried under the cherry tree three years ago."
Lin Yueru picked up a piece of mullet roe with a kuai and put it into her mouth, and quickly let out a sound of admiration. It was done well. This is the most authentic mullet roe she has ever tasted.
"My sister's trip east this time is not just to see my father. My sister has a heavy responsibility, and Yang Jun can't leave her every day." Sakurai Momo told jokes with puns, which made Lin Yueru blush.
.
I spat in my heart, this woman has married a husband, given birth to a son, and been a widow, but she doesn't care about anything. She is really letting go. Compared with her, she is still a newbie young woman. Her face is very tender.
"The master is currently using silver and other commodities to collect gold. I wonder if my sister is interested." Lin Yueru said.
"As long as it's business, I'm interested. I don't know what the exchange ratio is." Mrs. Masuda asked slowly.
"One tael of pure gold is exchanged for seven taels of pure silver." Lin Yueru specifically mentioned the fineness as a prerequisite.
Sakurai Momo took a breath of air.
Yang Fan was actually willing to give him 40% of the profit. The key was not about huge profits. It was why Yang Fan gave her such a big benefit.
This matter couldn't be easier. Even the Xinghe Bank opened by Yang Fan in Nagasaki can do this. Why should you give yourself such a huge benefit?
Sakurai Momo would not be so naive as to think that Yang Jun was attracted to her. She would spend a lot of money to win a beautiful woman's smile.
Although when I look in the mirror, I feel quite stinky and proud. But who is Yang Fan? Does he lack this? How hungry must he be to do such a mindless thing?
There is no profit in this world. If you want long-term cooperation, you must pursue equal exchange.
Japan is not as good as Ming Dynasty. It is the origin of gold and silver. The exchange ratio of gold and silver fluctuates between four and five. In the past two years, foreign trade has been booming and the price of gold has risen, which is about one to five.
This money is almost free.
Sakurai Momo's mouth was dry and she stuttered as she asked: "How much gold does Yang Jun plan to exchange for."
"Sister, we will exchange as much as you can get. The time limit is six months."
With a clatter, Sakurai Momo's wine glass dropped into the water, staining the water with amber plum wine.
Sakurai Momo's face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Lin Yueru saw that the skin of the beauty across from her was turning red. She smiled in her heart and said, "Let you hold it like a noble bitch. Now you have broken your skills."
Sakurai Momo closed her eyes and calmed her racing heart.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and asked calmly: "What does Mr. Yang want from me?"
Lin Yueru stroked Sakurai Mobuki's delicate cheek with her hand, and said seriously: "I have admired Madam's charm for a long time, and I want to kiss her. I wonder if my sister is willing to serve as a pillow."
Sakurai Momo rolled her eyes, with an expression that would be weird if I believed you.
For a young guy like Yang Fan, it's so troublesome to recommend a pillow mat by himself. It's really unnecessary.
