I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan(

"Ah, that's right." Guasheng, who was leading the way, said suddenly to Ogata behind him, "Majima-kun, before arriving at the residence, there is one thing that I need to remind you in advance."

"Huh?" Ogata asked. "What's the matter."

"A while ago, we recruited a new teacher in the Shiro Bingbei Club."

A faint look of disgust slowly appeared on Gua Sheng's face.

"This new teacher is called Heiichiro Takikawa. He is a very annoying guy. To be honest, I really hope he can leave the room."

"Oh?" Ogata raised his eyebrows. "Does he teach badly?"

"Do not."

Guasheng shook his head.

"In terms of academic cultivation, he is considered to be a very good kind of person."

"Takikawa is the eldest son of the Kimoto-Takikawa family."

"Although the annual salary of the Takikawa family is only 3,000 shi, he is not considered the top family among the flags, but he is barely behind the famous family."

"He studied under Xiangsheng Chunshui, a famous sinologist in Edo. It is said that he is extremely talented and accomplished in Sinology and is often praised by Xiangsheng Chunshui."

"At the same time, he was also studying Swordsmanship of No Exodus at the An Yun Sword Museum in Edo. He just received the certificate of No Exodus and No Exemption Last year."

"I am a person with both civil and military skills, and he can also teach others. After I came to the room to teach, many wandering girls told me that he was okay."

After listening to Guasheng's introduction to this Takikawa, Ogata stunned to himself.

Not only he was born in Qimoto, but he also has a certificate of exemption of swordsmanship. At the same time, he has learned from well-known scholars. He has considerable attainments in the most mainstream disciplines of this era. According to Gusheng’s description of this Takikawa, this Taki Chuan is the tall, rich and handsome man of the Edo period.

In the Edo era, when the hierarchical system was strict, the samurai class was also divided into three or six classes.

Banner, also known as Banner Warrior, was a warrior who belonged directly to the supreme ruler of the shogunate-General Zhengyi.

He is a direct minister of the shogunate and has the power to meet directly with the shogun.

In the Edo period, apart from the shogun and daimyo, he was the highest samurai.

Among the banners, they are still divided into three, six, nine levels.

Some Kimoto's lives are not lenient, and the annual salary is less than 500 shi.

But there are also some Qiben's life rich and rich, with an annual salary of thousands.

The Takikawa family who was born in Takikawa, whom I just mentioned, has a 3000-stone annual salary, and is probably in the middle of the flag.

Neither is it considered the top giants in the flag book, nor is it considered the last in the flag book.

Thinking of this, Ogata suddenly recalled—Samada Katsurokuro seemed to be from Edo's Keimoto family.

Ogata remembered that Shimada had said that his family had an annual salary of 9,000 shi.

Salaries of this level can already support small-scale private armed forces.

The annual salary of the Kachimoto samurai will not exceed the ten thousand stone, so the family of Shimada should be regarded as the top category in Kachimoto.

It's just that Ogata doesn't know Edo so well, and he doesn't know anything about the power ranking among these giants in Edo.

Therefore, Ogata does not know the status of the Shimada family, from which Shimada was born, in Edo.

"Listening to your description, this Takikawa seems to be a qualified teacher. He is capable and can teach at the same time." Ogata said, "He has a bad personality. Does it annoy you?"

"Yes." Guasheng nodded, "Takikawa's character...I am very uncomfortable."

"I don't know how to describe Takikawa's character."

"I have a question." Ogata asked at this time, "Since that Takikawa comes from a Kachimoto family with a 3000-stone annual salary, he shouldn't be short of money? Then why did he come here to teach? ?"

"That's one of the reasons why I hate this person Takikawa." The corner of Gusheng's mouth curled up and a sneer appeared. "The purpose of that fellow staying in the house is not simple at all."

"He's here entirely for someone."

"Someone? Who?" Ogata wondered.

"Who else can it be?" Gua Sheng sneered again, "Of course it's for the wind chimes."

"The wind chime master?"

"I told you just now? Tai Fu Feng Chime is very easy to learn, every day she stays in the room to read and practice calligraphy."

"That Takikawa probably learned from nowhere that Mr. Wind chime would stay in the house every day. In order to get close to Mr. Wind chime, he accepted the recruitment of staying house and came to stay here as a lecturer."

"Does he want to pursue Oiran? Isn't he a little ambitious." Ogata couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Oiran is like a superstar of this era, only those who are rich or expensive have the opportunity to contact Oiran.

There must be countless nobles and nobles whom Mr. Wind Chime has seen and known.

The Kakimoto family in Takikawa-and it's still not a top-level Kakimoto family, may not really be able to get into the eyes of the wind chime.

As soon as Ogata's voice fell, Gusheng immediately responded:

"In my eyes, Takikawa just doesn't know good or bad. Kazutsuta doesn't seem to like Takikawa very much, but Takikawa still keeps coming forward to curry favor with Kazuta."

Speaking of this, Gua Sheng sneered again.

He cleared his throat, and after looking forward a few times, Guasheng stretched out his finger and pointed forward.

"Okay, let's end the chat. Mashima-kun, look at the front. The room in front is just staying."

Ogata looked to the front-there was an ordinary private house in front of him. A lantern was hung on each side of the door of the room, and the two vigorous Chinese characters "Liuwu" were written on the lanterns.

After removing Osakuten from his waist and holding it with his right hand, Ogata followed Guasheng through the door of the house without staying.

After Guasheng led Ogata to take off his shoes in the dirt room and walked through a short corridor, he stopped in front of a large paper sliding door.

Before entering the room, Xu could hear the voice of a woman talking in this room.

Hearing this voice, Guasheng smiled and mumbled:

"It seems that we have come at the right time. They should have finished class by now and are taking a break."

"If they are in class, we can't go in and drink tea, it will disturb them in class."

Gusheng heard the chattering laughter in the room and showed a faint smile.

But after hearing the sound in the room, Ogata showed a strange expression.

Because besides the chattering girl's laughter, Ogata also heard some... sounds that were quite familiar to him.

Gua Sheng slowly opened the wooden door in front of him.

After the door was opened, the first thing that caught Ogata's eyes was a fairly spacious room.

There are about 30 short black desks neatly arranged in the room.

There are pens, inks, papers and inkstones on all the desks.

The most conspicuous view in this room is naturally the more than 30 wandering girls who are taking classes in this room.

It should be the break time just after class.

Some wandering girls are still sitting behind the desk, reading or practicing handwriting.

Some wandering girls gathered together and chatted.

Some wandering girls hang their heads, head little by little, as if they are napping.

However, nearly half of the wandering girls are surrounded by the only young man in the house.

This young man sits at the northernmost end of the room, with a desk similar to a lecture table in front of him. His desk is more spacious than the desk where the girls put pens, inks, papers and inkstones. some.

According to visual observation, this young man should be about the same age as Ogata, and should be around 20 years old.

Shaving a clean and neat moon generation head.

In this era, being able to keep the moon on behalf of the head is a status symbol.

Ronin basically doesn't keep the moon generation, because they often wander around, have a meal without a meal, and basically don't have the idle time to take care of their hair.

Therefore, the samurai who can keep the head of the moon basically means that he is not a ronin, but a person with free time to shave his head.

The clothes on the youth are as clean and tidy as his hair.

He was handsome, with a scroll-like air between his brows and eyes.

From the outside, this young man is impeccable, he belongs to the type that should have many girls admire him.

Even without the introduction of others, Ogata knew that this young man should be the one that Guasheng and Heiichiro Takigawa said.

At this moment, Takikawa is holding a thread-bound book, and the two Chinese characters "The Analects" are written on the cover of the thread-bound book.

Takikawa was reading the Analects of Confucius there.

"Zi said: ‘Guan Zhong’s tool is small!’ Or: ‘Guan Zhongjian is really good?’ He said: ‘The Guan family has three guilds, and the official affairs are not taken care of. How can you be thrifty?"

Takikawa knelt behind the "podium" and read "The Analects".

More than a dozen female travellers were sitting around, looking at Takikawa with admiration and surprise.

It is not a big deal to be able to read "The Analects".

The educated children of the Wu family can basically read the Four Books and Five Classics without barriers.

In the Sakura Sword Museum where Ogata used to practice swordsmanship, many of the brothers came from the same family background as Ogata once did. Because of their low status, they are not wealthy, but they can basically read the four books and five classics.

They can't afford to go to the school set up by Hirose Clan to serve the children of the samurai family, but they can afford to go to the temple house opened by the temple.

Before Ogata crossed to the Edo period, "Ogata Hara" also completed basic education in a temple house opened by a temple in the Hirose clan.

If Takikawa chanted "The Analects" in Japanese, it would be nothing unusual, and it would not be possible to attract so many wandering girls to gather around him to listen to his studies.

The reason why Takikawa attracted so many wandering girls to surround him and listen to him studying is entirely because - he is now reciting the chapters in the "Analects" in Chinese.

Before the fall of the Edo Shogunate and the Meiji Restoration and full Westernization of Japan, Sinology, headed by the Four Books and Five Classics, had always occupied the most mainstream position in Japanese academia.

If you can have deep attainments in Sinology, you will be highly regarded.

Therefore-if you can speak Chinese fluently, it is also a thing to be proud of.

The familiar voice that Ogata heard outside the door just now was the Chinese spoken by Takikawa.

After coming to the Edo period for nearly a year and a half, I heard Chinese that I hadn't heard for a long time, and Ogata couldn't help but feel cordial.

Takikawa speaks Chinese fairly fluently.

But the accent is not flattering.

There is no r sound in Chinese in Japanese.

Therefore, when Japanese people speak Chinese, they always do not distinguish between r and l.

The most typical example-when Japanese people speak Chinese, they will always pronounce "Japan" as "立本".

Takikawa’s accent when he reads Chinese is quite a typical "Japanese accent."

Therefore, the only evaluation Ogata can give to the Chinese spoken by Takikawa is "fairly fluent".

As for the accent... Ogata can't compliment it.

However, Takikawa's fluent Chinese is enough to fool some people who don't understand Chinese at all.

After Ogata and Guasheng opened the door, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Takikawa's reading abruptly stopped.

After raising his eyes and taking a look at who is the person behind the sliding door, Takikawa immediately put down the "Analects" in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, and said:

"Miss Guasheng, good morning."

"Yeah." Guasheng nodded his head expressionlessly, "Good morning."

Takikawa seemed to have no intention of greeting me with such a cordial greeting. After a simple greeting, Takikawa ignored the melon, and the melon did not bother Takigawa again.

"Miss Guasheng." At this time, a Yuu girl who was sitting closest to Guasheng and Ogata asked aloud, "This samurai-sama?"

"This is Goro-kun Mashima who has just joined our Shirobei club today."

Guasheng turned sideways slightly, revealing Ogata standing behind her.

While Guasheng was introducing Ogata, Ogata bowed and greeted everyone in the room.

"I'm taking Majima-kun to familiarize myself with the layout of Yoshihara, and when I walked near the residence, I felt a little thirsty, so I just came here for some tea."

Regarding the behavior of melons coming here to drink tea, everyone in the room seems to be quite familiar.

Hearing these words of Guasheng, a wandering girl who seemed to have a good relationship with Guasheng covered her mouth and smiled, and said to Guasheng in an intimate tone:

"Xiaoxiu, since you like the tea we stayed so much, why don't you buy some and soak it for yourself?"

"Because it costs money to buy tea, but it doesn't cost money to drink tea here." After responding in a half-joking tone, Guasheng led Ogata to a corner of the room.

In the corner of this room is a small table with a large teapot and a large number of teacups.

Guasheng unceremoniously picked up the big teapot, then took out two clean cups, and filled the two cups with a full cup.

While pouring the tea, Guasheng Chao Ogata introduced:

"The tea in this room is specially for the thirsty girls who are in class here. You can drink it whatever you want."

The temperature of this tea is right, not too cold or too hot.

Holding the teacup, after taking a sip, Ogata tasted the tea as scented tea.

Compared to scented tea, Ogata prefers some bitter strong teas.

But for the floral fragrance of this tea, Ogata really likes it.

After Guasheng and Ogata slipped to the corner to drink tea, everyone in the room went back to doing their own things.

Takikawa continued to demonstrate "The Analects of Confucius in Chinese" to the more than ten traveling girls in front of him.

The wandering girls also continued to read and practice calligraphy.

I would like to continue listening to Takikawa's "The Analects of Confucius in Chinese".

Ogata sipped the tea in his hand, while looking at the wandering girls in the room.

After turning his eyes around the room for a few times, Ogata lowered the volume, and whispered to Guasheng at a volume that only he and Guasheng could hear:

"Miss Guasheng, the number of you girls who came to study here is much less than I expected...Are there other girls who study in other rooms?"

Yoshihara claims that there are three thousand young women-these three thousand young women should be exaggerated, but there should still be 1,000 young women.

The number of wanderers studying in the residence was much less than Ogata imagined, which made Ogata feel a little surprised.

"Some wandering girls come to stay in the house to study in the afternoon."

Guasheng replied in a low voice with the same volume that only she and Ogata could hear.

"However, there are not many wandering girls who come here to study."

"After all, not all wandering girls have the willingness and spare energy to come here to learn to read and write."

"Many wandering girls don't have enough energy to do other things during the day after finishing work at night."

"There are still many wandering girls who are not interested in reading or writing at all, and don't want to waste too much time here."

Just when Guasheng had just explained to Ogata the reason why the number of people staying in the house to study is so small, a nice female voice suddenly came from the two of them:

"Samurai-sama, meet again. Xiaoguasheng, can you pour a cup of tea for me too?"

Ogata and Guasheng both turned their heads.

The speaker is a very beautiful woman.

She did not comb her hair into a bun, letting her black hair dangle casually.

Although she hadn't combed her hair bun, she was wearing light makeup.

Clear and handsome eyebrows, soft eyelash lines, rounded front end, lovely bridge of the nose, and full lips.

The black hair and black-and-white eyes that fluttered with the occasional breeze blowing into the room made people feel dazzling.

Ogata and Guao have different expressions now.

Gua Sheng is a reassuring look at seeing old friends.

Ogata looked confused.

The last half of the sentence the woman said just now was to Guasheng, while the first half was obviously to Ogata.

Ogata carefully looked at the woman's face several times-he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this woman.

"That..." Ogata wondered, "May I ask you who?"

"Did you forget me so soon?" The woman gave a faint wry smile, "You came to see me last night, did you forget?"

--last night……?

Memories and thoughts are connected at once.

As soon as Ogata remembered who the woman in front of him was, Guasheng on the side said to Ogata in a helpless tone:

"This is the wind chime you just saw last night in the "Oiran Road". The wind chime changed her makeup and hairstyle. Can you not recognize it?"

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Ogata had to admit it-after Mr. Wind Chime changed his hairstyle and makeup, he really couldn't recognize it...

The wind chime Taifu I saw last night, with white make-up, neatly dressed in a bun, and dressed in armor-like clothes.

And now the wind chime wife wore long hair casually and only light makeup.

In Ogata's eyes-the difference between the two is so great that he can't recognize it for a while.

"I saw you when I was walking to Yang's room yesterday." Feng Chime said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come to work at Shiro Bingbei Club."

In Ogata’s impression, when Mr. Windchime passed by him last night, because Ogata was yelling at the time with a "crazy fan", it attracted the attention of Mr. Windchime.

Because of this, Ogata was caught a glimpse of Kainchitao—just one glance.

Ogata remembered that he was only glanced at by Mr. Windchime.

"Teifu, your memory is so good..." Ogata said with emotion in a stunned tone.

Ogata didn't expect Kazutofu to remember him who only glanced at him.

"My memory is very good."

After the tea cup that Gua Sheng handed over to the wind chime master was filled with a cup of tea, Gu Shengchao was still sitting behind the podium, and Takikawa who was showing the "Analects of Confucius in Chinese" to the tour girls stubbornly.

"Teifu, what is Takikawa doing? Why do you speak Chinese there for no reason?"

"There is no special reason." The wind chime said with a smile while drinking tea with graceful movements. "After finishing the first class and starting to rest, Takikawa was chatting with a few wandering girls, somehow, Takikawa didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and suddenly mentioned that he could speak Chinese."

"Those wandering girls felt very curious, and then asked Takikawa to read Chinese to them."

"That Takikawa can even speak Chinese," Guasheng muttered.

"After all, he was born in Chunshui under the tutelage of a great Sinologist."

"The husband." Gusheng smiled slyly. "Aren't you going to listen to Takikawa speak Chinese together?"

"Xiaoguasheng." Tai Fu Feng Chime smiled helplessly, "I seem to have told you before? I am insensitive to Takikawa, who is too arrogant...Huh? Lord Majima, what's the matter? It's my lips. Is there something strange?"

As the wind chime said, he raised his hand and gently covered his mouth. .

Because she suddenly discovered that Ogata had been staring at her lips since just now.

"You don't have anything on your lips." Ogata said seriously, "I'm just a little curious about the lipstick you use."

Lip fat-that is, the ancient lipstick.

The lipstick that Mr. Windchime puts on his lips is not an ordinary red color.

The lower lip, which became ruddy after applying lipstick, has a faint gleam and looks very beautiful.

"Oh, this." The wind chime said with a smile, "The lipstick I use is called ‘Sasa Red’."

"'Sasa color red'..." Ogata muttered softly the name of the lip fat that Tai Fu Feng Chime just said.

"Mashima-sama, are you interested in lipstick?"

"No, no interest, no research."

Whether it was the modern earth before it or the Edo period now, Ogata didn't pay much attention to women's cosmetics.

"I just... just now when I saw the lipstick of your husband, I suddenly felt that after a girl who is of great significance to me also put on the same lipstick as you, it might look good."

"Oh?" Taio Feng Chime cast his gaze on Ogata, showing a strong interest, "It turned out to be like this. The'Sasa color red' I used is quite expensive, so a small box costs 1 Two golds."

After all, the wind chime master put the thumb and index finger of his right hand together, and circled a small circle.

"One tael?" Ogata couldn't help but raised his eyebrows abruptly.

"Of course-that's because the'Sasa Red' I used is the top grade. The ordinary'Sasa Red' is also very expensive, but it is not as exaggerated as the price of the one I use. "

"Majima-sama, if you want to buy'Sasairo Red' as a gift, I can recommend a shop. The lip cream sold in that shop can be said to be the best in Edo."

"However, although the price of the ordinary'Sasa Red' is cheaper, the quality is naturally not as good as the one I am using."

——Sure enough, no matter what time it is in, cosmetics are luxury items... Only a small box of lip gloss can be bought for 1 tael of gold... The entire Yoshihara is probably the only person who can afford this type of lip gloss...

While Ogata still secretly sighed about the law that "cosmetics are luxury items no matter what era," the wooden door of the room was suddenly reopened.

As soon as the wooden door was opened, an old voice rang from the door:

"Huh? Guasheng, have you come to stay here again for tea?"

The man who suddenly opened the door and spoke to Gua Sheng in a very familiar tone was an old man who looked very majestic.

The old man just appeared in front of everyone, and Gua Sheng immediately uttered a small exclamation, and then hurriedly bowed to the old man:

"Shiro Biebe-sama, why are you here?"

"It's just going out and relaxing. When I passed by the stay house just now, I stopped by to have a look at the stay house. Huh? Gua Sheng, who is the samurai next to you?"

"Shiro Hebei-sama, don't you know him? He is Guro Majima who has just passed the examinations of Kawajiro-sama and Keiemon early this morning and joined our Shirohei club."

"Oh! That's the case, no wonder I haven't seen him. I went to work outside Yoshihara early this morning, and I was not in the clubhouse. Haha, yes, it seems that Keiemon and the others recruited one that looks pretty reliable. Samurai."

"So you haven't seen the two of you..." After Guasheng murmured, he leaned over and introduced to Ogata, "Mashima-kun, this is the current head of our Shirobei club-the sixth generation of Meshiro soldier. guard."

As soon as Guasheng's words came to an end, Xu Jian immediately bowed to Shiro Bingbei and said loudly:

"Shiro Biebe-sama, I'm here next to Yunranan, Goro Mashima."

While saying hello to Shiro Biebe, Ogata silently looked at Shiro Biebe's appearance.

Shiro Biebe... he looked like an official.

There seems to be power hidden in the thin body, and it doesn't look angry and pretentious.

"Shiro Biebe-sama. Long time no see."

Takikawa, who had been showing "The Analects of Confucius in Chinese" to the tour girls just now, put down the "Analects" he had been holding in his hand just now, and walked quickly to Shiro Biebe.

While saluting Shiro Biebei, he also politely said hello.

"Takikawa-kun, it's been a long time since I saw you." Shiro Biebe returned with a smile, "It's really hard for you to stay in the room for teaching during this time."

"I feel very happy to come here to teach in the room." Takikawa smiled, but he only smiles with his lips, but there is no smile in his eyes. "While teaching everyone knowledge, I can also review these Chinese books by the way. "

"Shiro Bingbei, you came just right, and I happen to have something to discuss with you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Shiro Biebe asked.

"In the next period of time, I want to devote my whole body and mind to preparing for the next'Private Examination', so in the next period of time I want to take leave of absence and not stay in the room to teach."

"Oh!" Shiro Biebei showed a clear look, "Yeah, I remember, Takigawa-kun, you participated in the "Prime Trial" right?"

"I understand. Then you will prepare for the'Queen Examination' afterwards. You won't need to report to our club until the end of the'Queen Examination'."

"I am grateful." Takikawa bowed deeply.

"Teacher." At this moment, a wandering girl suddenly asked with a puzzled expression, "What is the "Prince Test Combination"?"

Ogata is not surprised that this wandering girl does not know what the "Imperial Examination" is.

After all, even many ordinary people in Edo don't know what the "Gozen Test Combination" is all about.

"Yeah..." Takikawa said after hesitating for a while, "In a nutshell, "Gozen Test Combination" means..."

Takikawa briefly introduced to the wandering girl what the "Gozen Test Combination" is.

As soon as Takikawa's introduction was finished, Shiro Biebe said to Ryukko in a half-joking tone:

"Takikawa-kun, get ready, and strive to get a good place in both the literary and martial arts tests of the'Imperial Examination'.

"Shiro Biebe-sama!" Takikawa smiled confidently, "I can't guarantee that I can get the first name in the martial arts test, but the first name in the literary test of the "Prince Test Combination"-I am determined to win it!"

"I want to win the first name in the literary examination of the'Imperial Examination Combination' in one fell swoop, to attract the attention and appreciation of the old and middle-aged! I will strive to become the old and middle-aged staff in the future!

"The staff?" Shiro Biebe raised his eyebrows abruptly.

Ogata, who had been listening, also showed a hint of curiosity at this time.

"Everyone." Takikawa turned sideways slightly, scanned the surrounding circle with his gaze, and slowly said, "I believe you should have heard of it more or less---sama Masahiro Matsuba as a new and old junior , Has been actively pursuing government reforms in order to rejuvenate the national power!"

To Takikawa's words, some Yunyu nodded, and some Yunyu looked blank.

The old and new Nakamatsu Hiranobu has been carrying out the reform of the shogunate over the past few years-Ogata still knows this.

Putting his hands around his chest and leaning his back against the wall behind him, Ogata continued to listen to Takikawa's words in silence.

"Xia Xia has received definite news-in order to complete the reform of the government, the old man is recruiting talents!"

Takikawa's eloquence is not bad, and his impassioned speech also successfully attracted the attention of everyone present.

Takikawa seemed to enjoy this feeling of being noticed by many people. After a strong excitement appeared on his face, he said in a more passionate tone:

"Today, my Tokugawa shogunate has two hundred years of foundation, and my benevolence is widely used. Although there are occasional natural disasters, I have not been able to shake the shogunate. The generals and the old shoguns are now trying their best to manage and eat. Now it is me and others When our lives are exhausted!"

"My classmates and I have made up their minds-vowed to show off our talents in the'Imperial Test Combination' and show off our talents to the generals and seniors!"

After listening to Takikawa's speech quietly, Ogata said in his heart:

——It seems that some of the people who participated in this "Private Examination" also came for fame and fortune...

I have to say-Takikawa's speech just now was quite contagious.

Many of the wandering girls present looked at Takikawa, who was now awe-inspiring with respect and excitement.

Of course, there are also some wanderers who have a plain face. For example-Wind Chime Taifu.

After showing a smile that made people unable to understand the specific emotions, Mr. Wind Chime said:

"Takikawa-kun, are you going to be an assistant to the old man?"

Seeing Tai Fu Feng Chime taking the initiative to talk to him, Takikawa's eyes immediately showed an imperceptible ecstasy.

"That's right!" Takikawa said in a firm tone, "Old Master is very courageous! This time recruiting staff, I don’t see myself! I only look at talent! So I want to show my skills in the "Prince Test Combination"! The appreciation of CUHK, afterwards..."

Before Takikawa's words were finished, Tai Fu Feng Chin interrupted him with new questions:

"Takikawa-kun, do you have the ability to show off your skills in the "Prince Test Combination"-leave it alone~www.wuxiahere.com~If you really become an assistant to the old man in the future, you have a way to assist the elderly Do CUHK people revitalize the national power of this country?"

"With all due respect-I think you are still too young, and you may not have the ability to take on the important task of ‘the old man’s staff’."

"Rather than setting the goal so high, it is better to be down-to-earth and start with ordinary officials."

Tai Fu Feng Chin used a direct tone to persuade Takigawa to keep his feet on the ground and not to go too far.

However, Takikawa looked disapproving of this euphemistic persuasion by Mr. Wind Chime.

"Hahaha!" Takikawa, who was still smiling confidently, laughed a few times, "Fu Chime, please don't worry about me!"

"I'm the son of Takigawa's patriarch, and the fellow of the Chinese scholars who have come together in the spring water! Under the influence of ears and eyes, I have quite a bit of experience on how to govern the country!"

After all, Takikawa waved his hand and said in a more passionate tone:

"In the future, if I become an assistant to the old master, I will suggest to the old master to vigorously revitalize Zhu Xi's'Zhu Zixue'!"

After hearing the word "Zhuzixue" from Takikawa's mouth, Ogata couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Japan's Zhu Zixue——After Zhu Xi's Confucianism was spread to Japan, it was transformed by Japanese rulers to suit the Japanese people according to local conditions.

This is what the "Sasairo Red" lipstick looks like→→

In the Edo period, not everyone could afford to use lipstick, and not everyone could afford to use "Sasara Red".

Personally, I think this "Sasa Red" is very beautiful.

Regarding the story of "Teakoya", you can read the "Japanese History Classroom" I wrote in the "Writer's Words" at the end of the previous chapter.
