We didn't stay in Kyoto for many days, seven days in total.
During this period, Funakoshi Fumio heard that Hakuki had come to Kyoto and wanted to have a martial arts competition with him. Hakuki accepted the invitation because of Yamada Mitsuko, but after only two or three moves, Funakoshi Fumio was defeated.
A few years ago, Funakoshi Fumio was no match for Shiro Gui. Shiro Gui has been growing up, but Funakoshi Fumio's physical strength is weakening as he grows older. This victory or defeat did not exceed anyone's expectations.
On the eighth day.
The three of them booked train tickets to Tokyo.
The next day.
Tokyo.
After getting off the train station.
Mitsuko Yamada was the first to leave. She had no reason to stay.
A rickshaw.
On the car.
"Xunzi, she and Chiyo used to live with me..."
"If you don't want to stay, we will go to the hotel together later."
"You are my wife."
Bai Gui pulled Bai Xiuzhu's catkin and said softly.
Bai Xiuzhu knew about him and Xunzi before they got engaged.
"What she said...as long as you don't take it home."
"Anyway, we're going to stay here for a while. You and I are going to Ameiken's country, so we won't be able to stay for long."
Bai Xiuzhu felt a little awkward.
But what Bai Gui said.
On the contrary, it seems that he is weaker.
There is no reason for her, the principal wife, to go to the hotel, while Xunzi, the concubine, lives in the white house.
As for concubines, there are no outstanding men.
Compared with others, Xunzi is from Japan and was born as a geisha. Since ancient times, she has never seen a geisha become a real wife. Besides, Bai Gui promised her not to take her home. There is such a thing as being angry, but this kind of thing
Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved.
"That's fine..."
Bai Gui nodded.
He had even experienced the Shura field of Bai Xiuzhu and Yamada Mitsuko, so he didn't take this little thing to heart.
After a long time of experience, my skin becomes much thicker.
Soon, Bai Zhai.
Got out of the car and walked to the door.
"I'll change the list later."
"Although I don't plan to stay longer, and it's not out of jealousy, but..."
Bai Xiuzhu glanced at Bai Gui and said.
"Yes, I will."
There is nothing wrong with Bai Gui. When he got close to Xunzi, he had already told Xunzi clearly that he could not marry Xunzi. Although it was a bit cruel, it was the fact.
In the past, he and Bai Xiuzhu had not yet consummated their marriage, and the cousin only wrote the names of him, Xunzi, and Xiao Qianyo.
Now that I'm married, I have to calm down.
Since Bai Xiuzhu lives here temporarily, we can't really not write Bai Xiuzhu's name.
Changing the watch strap is the right thing to do.
Press the doorbell.
The two dogs Lucky and Money inside the house started barking.
"They are the two dogs I raise. One is an Akita named Lucky, and the other is a black Shiba Inu named Money."
Bai Gui explained.
The sound of footsteps came from inside the door, very light, and the door was opened.
Two dogs came out.
"Onisan."
Chiyo said in surprise.
When she was in the house, she heard two dogs barking, and guessed that it was Bai Gui who had returned to Japan. Sure enough, when she opened the door and saw that it was Bai Gui.
But she soon saw the girl standing next to Bai Gui, and her face froze.
"Hello! My name is Bai Xiuzhu, and Meihe is my husband."
Bai Xiuzhu was the first to introduce. She bent down and pinched Chiyo-chan's cheek affectionately, "You are Chiyo-chan, right? Miwa mentioned you to me, but I didn't expect you to be so cute."
Talking.
She glanced at Bai Gui calmly.
Although in Bai Gui's letter, he introduced that he had taken in a little Japanese girl.
But...she didn't expect that the little girl she took in looked so cute.
Too!
Few people will feel sympathy for an unlovable little girl.
"It's my sister-in-law."
Xiao Qianyo quickly bowed and gave Bai Xiuzhu a gift.
She knew that Bai Gui would get married immediately after returning to China, and she had already predicted in her heart that a strange sister-in-law would come to the door of her house...
However, she didn't expect that this scene would happen so quickly.
After all, she was just adopted.
It would be too ignorant to covet something more.
"Look at Chiyo-chan, she's quite good at talking."
Bai Xiuzhu smiled.
The two of them walked into the white house together.
"This is my wife, please get to know Xunzi."
Bai Gui walked in and introduced.
"Just call me sister."
Seeing Xunzi's unspeakable expression, Bai Xiuzhu chuckled lightly, walked forward, held Xunzi's bare hand, and said.
She comes from a famous family and has seen this kind of scene many times.
If nothing else, in the Jin Mansion, Mrs. Jin treated her second concubine with the same affection as a sister.
Pretending, everyone knows it’s just pretending!
But they will deliberately act well and maintain superficial harmony.
Besides, Bai Gui has promised her not to take Xunzi home, so she doesn't know what propriety means.
On the fundamental issue, Bai Gui has already given in.
Then... in some small ways, she will also give Bai Gui face and not cause too much embarrassment.
"Yes, sister."
Xunzi gathered her clothes and bowed, and soon returned to normal.
Dinner was sumptuous.
night.
Bai Gui walked towards Xunzi's bedroom skillfully.
But when he got to the door, he paused, hesitated for a while, and came to Bai Xiuzhu's bedroom.
He closed the paper partition and walked in.
"I hope you will recognize me tonight."
Bai Xiuzhu sat quietly on the chair. Seeing Bai Gui come in, she said with satisfaction.
She doesn't mind Bai Gui and Xunzi sharing the same room, but if she goes to Xunzi's room on the first day after arriving at Bai Zhai, she will inevitably be disappointed.
…
Early the next morning.
After eating breakfast made by Xunzi.
Bai Gui was not in a hurry to go out. He was not in a hurry to find Professor Baishi at this moment.
He went to the study, found the letters he had accumulated over the past year, and began to read through them.
These letters are not very important.
If it is an important letter, it will be delivered to the country, or a telegram will be sent. But even if it is not important, it must be opened, looked at and processed in person.
"Well, this is the royalties contract signed by Mitsuko and Yufei Pavilion for "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword"."
"There's some salary inside."
"This is the polishing material for the subsequent publication of "The Great Qin Empire"..."
Bai Gui read through the letters one by one, and soon he had cash income of tens of thousands of yen in his hand, as well as some money deposited in the bank. The checks were given to him and he needed to pick them up in person.
"Hua Yuan invited me to attend a cultural conference, which will be in four days..."
This is a letter written by Ryuko Tanabe to him.
Invite him to attend the cultural gathering.
There are quite a lot of letters like this, more than sixty of them. After all, he is well-known in Japan, and he will be invited to any cultural gatherings. However, most of the banquet dates in such cultural gathering letters have expired, and only recently.
A letter written by Ryuko Tanabe has not expired.
"It's an internal literary gathering of the Asahi Society..."
He looked at the letter again and nodded slightly.
Asahisha is like a big banner, with many famous writers gathered behind it. Even though there is no in-depth cooperation with Asahisha, there are definitely exchanges of interests.
Just like now, even though he has resigned from Asahi Publishing House, the copyrights for his three works of Da Qin Empire are still with Asahi Publishing House, so an invitation letter will definitely be sent to him for the internal banquet.
Ryuko Tanabe had the best relationship with him in the literary world, and she was a columnist for Asahisha. It was normal for her to write the letter herself.
