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 and living room. It is now Ashikaga Erika's residence.
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. It was because he admired the strong.
But 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 a staff member of the Strategic Analysis Department of Montenegro Investment Company, a job randomly found by Lu Ming. Although he majored in finance at university 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, "Okay, 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" getting along with concern. At this time, there was a look of relief on her face. She probably felt that although she did not choose her "son-in-law", even her husband, Erika, and herself had no choice at all. Quan, it can only be like this, but it seems that the "son-in-law" still loves Erika very much. At least Erika will not suffer in life. As a mother, she couldn't protect her daughter, so she felt a little comforted by seeing that her daughter was living a good life.
…
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, and she would always accompany Erika when she went out. In order to protect Erika, she once executed a young master of the Japanese Ogotsu Michikawa family.
Lu Ming drank a cup of tea and left, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu chased him out again.
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 Commissioner Zhang would still call him "uncle" even without Erika around. He was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Commissioner-sama, 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.
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 wasteland 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.
The "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. 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 hands repeatedly.
Lu Ming smiled: "I know uncle, you have a lot of drinking capacity, 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 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 nothing more than those 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 we were 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 memories. What are you talking about? "Also, personally, although I have no prejudice against any ethnic group, I always feel that the people on 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 glass and clinked it gently 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 many differences between ethnic groups. , there is always a competitive relationship. Originally, the Empire 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, put in half a glass of wine, and sighed: "You are right, I am on the run, my father is under house arrest, and most of my relatives are in prison. Some of them are afraid that they would have... Oh, 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 it..."
However, it was Lu Ming who started to talk nonsense, which made him suddenly have the urge to talk nonsense.
I saw some classmates saying that my reading record of a single chapter should be messed up again when I post it. I can’t help it. I have to post it. If something happens and I don’t update it without notifying me, it will definitely not work. As for the messy reading record, in fact, just read a single chapter and click back to the previous chapter. Because if the reading record stays at a single chapter, it will be messed up as soon as I delete the single chapter. Don’t stop the reading record at the single chapter where I will delete it. Just one chapter is enough, or you can just read the title of a single chapter, and there is no need to click in to read it. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone...
