Chapter 117 Don't Test Human Nature
"What's so happy?" When Yu Sumo brought Ji Zong dinner, the corners of her mouth were still slightly raised, which was already a very happy expression for Ji Zong.San Langzuo was very happy to accompany Ji Zong in the tea room all afternoon, and he was also happy to see Ji Zong happy.When Yu Xumo came, he realized that he hadn't done anything serious all afternoon, and his will was so weakened.
"I'm backing out." Ji Zong nodded, and San Langzuo bowed slightly to Yu Xumo again, and backed out.
Yu Xumo returned the salute slightly, and placed the dinner in front of Jizong.
"Eat with me." Ji Zong pointed to the place beside her. She is happy today, and there is nothing special for her to deal with.She just wanted someone to accompany her to share this happiness.Yu Xuma nodded with a smile, and Yohei Kazuki brought another meal for his master with good eyesight.
Ji Zong took a spoonful of mashed potatoes with a wooden spoon, and suddenly smiled, "Wait until the Satsuma taro is planted, steam it and eat it, it will be sweet and soft, it will be delicious."
Seeing Ji Zong's happy look, Yu Xumo was also happy, "Well, it must be delicious."
For Suma's unconditional trust, Yoshimune blushed a little, but it was still very useful.
"This is a trial planting of new crops. If it is produced on a large scale in the future, it is best to talk to the general." Yu Xumo pursed his lips, as if reminding him unintentionally.
When Ji Zong heard this, he paused.She only thought about how to fight this headless lawsuit with the Satsuma clan, and she also relied on the lack of awareness of property rights in this era.I really forgot about the general. Throughout the dynasties, food crops seem to be not a casual thing.My heart, which had been jumping for joy, sank slightly.
Seeing Ji Zong put the spoon down, Yu Xumo slightly raised his eyes, and flashed a flash of panic, "I blame me for talking too much, I haven't done this yet, and it won't be too late to talk about it when it succeeds."
Ji Zong shook his head, "It's not bad for you, it's a good thing you mentioned it in advance." She smiled at Yu Xumo, and started eating again, but the corners of her mouth didn't rise again.Ji Zong kept thinking about things until after the meal, and when Yu Xumo saw her like this, he didn't say anything, just ate.Yohei watched anxiously from the side, and after finishing the meal, Yu Suma asked Yohei and Kazuki to pack up and take it away, and he didn't stay long, so he withdrew.Ren Yangping gave him a wink, but he didn't stay behind.
On the other side of the Jiyi Hall, Mamiya heard that Yu Suma had eaten with Yoshinori again, and seeing the exquisite dishes in front of her, she felt that her stomach was already full.
"Master, you should go to Oku more often to see the Lord of the Imperial Palace." Kinoshita saw that he was not eating enough and his appetite was not good, so he offered his advice in distress.
"You didn't go with me last time, Yudaisuo choked so much that Yu Xumo's face changed. I can't get into the eyes of that person. It's a mistake to do anything. It's better not to do anything, so as not to be annoying. " After saying this, Mamiya was disgusted by himself, put down the chopsticks, completely lost the mood to eat.
There was another person who also felt sick to his stomach after eating. Ji Zong usually didn't drink tea at night because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep, so he didn't drink alcohol before going to bed.Today, she held a wine cup and sipped one after another.After a long time, she called a hidden guard out and asked
"Who did Young Master Mei meet recently?"
The dark guard lowered his head, and just as he was about to report back, Ji Zong raised his hand again to stop him, "Forget it, don't talk, go down." The dark guard didn't say anything, and disappeared like when he came.
Ji Zong finished drinking the wine in the wine cup and sat facing the completely dark yard for a long time.She got up and went to Yu Xumo's room, Yu Xumo was about to go to sleep, and was very pleasantly surprised to see Ji Zong. "Why are your hands so cold? It's only spring, and it's very cold at night. I know you're not afraid of the cold, but you still have to be careful." Yu Xumo grabbed Ji Zong's icy hands and clasped them together.
The warm feeling came little by little, and the coldness slowly faded away.Ji Zong looked at Yu Xumo's eyebrows, and he didn't know when he had grown to be almost as tall as him.She pressed her forehead to Yu Suma's, and said in a low voice, "Mei, after we've been busy for a while, how about we go see the cherry blossoms?"
Yu Xumo paused, raised his head and said with a smile, "It's a deal!"
Ji Zong looked at him and smiled, feeling happy in his heart, and nodded, "It's a deal."
Yu Xumo and Ji Zong stood next to each other, and after coming here for a long time, he said, "A few days ago, I went back to see Mrs. Mother once."
"Oh, is that so?" Ji Zong stroked Yu Suma's hand, and for some reason, he felt much more relaxed in his heart, with a feeling of relief. "I said earlier that you can go back anytime you want. Our stay in Edo is short, so go back and walk around more."
Seeing that Ji Zong was not unhappy, Yu Xumo said softly, "I went back without telling you, and I was always a little uneasy. But," he thought for a while, and he should speak out. He promised Ji Zong to trust her.
"When I entered the University before, I had some conversations with Yutai. I had some mistakes. I wanted to hear my mother's opinion first. My mother said that this kind of thing is not just about the back house. It will involve you. Let me go with you. Tell me, I haven't thought about how to say it." He was talking about the last time he entered the Grand Olympic Games, and the matter that he choked on with the imperial platform.
Ji Zong looked at him encouragingly, and Yu Xumo said the matter slowly.Ji Zong listened and listened, and then looked at Yu Xumo in a daze. She couldn't imagine that Yu Xumo was still so down-to-earth.In Ji Zong's impression, except for the first time he saw him, he was a little embarrassed.The rest of the time, he is graceful and gentle.
Yu Xuma looked at Ji Zong's expression while talking, and when he finished speaking, Ji Zong laughed happily.She hugged him and whispered in his ear, "I should really thank Jin Weixi, otherwise I wouldn't know Mei is so cute."
Yu Xumo felt that she was getting nervous for nothing, and she was teased by Ji Zong, so she stretched out his hand to push her, but Ji Zong hugged her even tighter. She hugged Yu Xumo tightly with both hands, and buried her head on the side of his neck, "Well done, Mei, that's it." In this way, thank you, thank you. When I am not around, you have to protect yourself, thank you for doing it. And, thank you for protecting me so much."
Yu Xumo's hand that pushed Ji Zong stopped, paused for a while, then slowly reached behind her, and hugged her back. "It was agreed before that we don't say 'sorry' between us. From now on, we don't say 'thank you', okay?"
"En." Ji Zong nodded, and Yu Xumo smiled contentedly. The two of them were like two newborn animals, grinding each other.
The next day, Ji Zong asked A Yuan to invite Aoki Kunyang, and with San Langzuo present, he made a proposal, "I want to meet Mitsui Jun in private, and ask her to help promote the Samoyeon thing." The matter of Jin is a favor of Ji Zong, and it is a matter of mutual benefit.
"Your Excellency seems to be very sure of the value of the Samoyeon?" Aoki Kunyang said the doubts he had been having all along, only to see that Ji Zong took great pains to find himself and offered such good conditions to keep him, just for the Samoyam.
Ji Zong was taken aback by the words. She couldn't say that she knew that this crop would definitely be able to be cultivated successfully, and would definitely gain a place in the island country's catering industry, right? "Well, I have read some outside books before and know the main crops in many overseas countries It’s all it, and there must be a reason for it.”
Aoki Kunyang thought for a while, nodded, and then looked at Ji Zong with hope, Ji Zong was slightly embarrassed, "I also forgot which book said it, but when I returned to Ji Yi, there were many books in the study, you all You can read it."
Aoki Kunyang gave another big gift excitedly, the transmission of knowledge in this era mainly depends on books, but books are very expensive.Ji Zong's words are like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey, which is exciting.
"This is a good way. Let the Mitsui family promote this matter from below. The more patriarchs she finds, the more people will know about this matter. Even if Ji Yi produces Samoyed yams, no one will think about it." Yuan thought Think, feel feasible.
Ji Zong looked at A Yuan, this guy is busy with dating recently, it's very rare to see her, and it's rare that his mind is still there.
"It's just that it may arouse the dissatisfaction of the Satsuma clan and the general's suspicion." A Yuan pointed out the disadvantages.
"When the news of the donation from the general came out, the Satsuma clan was involved. The Mitsui family and the Liangzi of the Satsuma clan have long been married. Didn't the Mitsui family establish a relationship with the general? This time is the time to show the benefits No. Maybe, the Mitsui family can get some benefits from it in the end." Ji Zong had thought about it a long time ago. Although the Mitsui family owed her a favor, she would not think that the other party would do everything for her. Only there are benefits in it. This relationship can last longer, and she doesn't want to throw it away when it's used up.
Aoki Kunyang caught a lot of information in surprise from Ji Zong's words.The way the Mitsui family loaned a huge amount of money to the shogunate sounds like the master knows the ins and outs, and maybe it was the master who proposed it.Thinking about it, she became excited and looked forward to Ji Yi's trip more and more.As for Ji Zong, she also began to feel that it was wise to choose this person.
After Mitsui Hayao and Yoshimune met in secret, they readily agreed to the matter without much thought.Ji Zong didn't expect that, Mitsui Jun smiled slightly, "For the Mitsui family, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Besides, I owed my lord a great favor, but I can repay it so easily and get benefits from it. I can't think of any reason to say no."
Ji Zong nodded slightly, it would save trouble to talk to smart people.Moreover, Mitsui Hayao is not a coward, he simply exposed the favor he owed.It's so clear and clear, and we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future, but, when the time comes, it will be one size for one size.Ji Zong pointed out several people to Mitsui Hayao, one was to protect her safety, and the other was to supervise.Mitsui Jun is also a sensible person, and happily accepted it.
Who said that an appointment without supervision is indulgence, and something will happen sooner or later.Therefore, Ji Zong chose not to give others the opportunity to make mistakes, and tried his best to test human nature as little as possible.
