It has been more than a month since Maori Satoshi arrived in Kyoto, and he has achieved almost nothing except attending banquets at the Ministry of Rites and delivering tribute gifts.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty court used the etiquette of foreign envoys to receive Maoli, but there was no sign of settlement with him. He probably didn't have to worry anymore, and he would become one of the scapegoats for Qian Xili's death. I guess that the people in the Kyoto Shou Office would be in trouble.

The life of the Ming Dynasty was very stable and prosperous. It is said that some kings and leaders who came to pay tribute to small southern countries lived here, and had food and drink, so they were reluctant to go back.

But Sadara Mori could no longer sit still, and he wanted to return to Japan as soon as possible. After the Battle of Hakata Bay, the situation of all the famous forces in Japan and the Damen family changed. Maori no longer worried about his life, so he thought that he could win his due status in the Damen family.

Maori wrote the memorial for his farewell remarks, of course, in Chinese classical Chinese. He showed the memorial to Qiu Yuezhi, hoping that she would check whether there were any taboo words in it and modify them. Qiu Yue grew up in a temple and received better cultural education than Maori.

Qiu Yuezhi read the memorial and made some modifications. Maori sat back on the chair and copied it. He couldn't kneel in the room of Huitong Hall because the floor was covered with bricks and stones and there was no mat.

"Do I want to go back together?" Qiu Yuezhi asked in Japanese.

Maori said: "Of course I have to go back. It's been so long, if the Ming Dynasty Palace would have given you a title, I would have given it long ago."

Qiu Yuezhi asked again: "Will I go back to the ancient mountain city?"

While copying, Maori replied: "First follow me to the Yamaguchi Castle in Zhoufangguo, and then send someone to the Ancient Mountain City to meet Qiuyue as the master. The marriage between our two families can continue."

Qiu Yue nodded and agreed. She had never seen Sadara Mori's son, but her marriage was a matter of two families; no matter what kind of people the Mori family's children were, she could only obey.

After Maori finished copying, he checked it and waited until the ink was dry before it was placed on the cover of the memorial. He asked, "Where did the memorial be sent?"

Qiu Yuezhi shook her head and said, "I don't know. I have handed over the previous memorial to the officials who welcomed us?"

Maori thought for a while and said, "Officials of the Ministry of Rites. Let's send them to the Ministry of Rites."

Qiu Yuezhi suddenly said, "Wait for me."

Maori said: "You don't have to go."

Qiu Yuezhi repeated another sound and quickly walked towards the wing where she lived. Because she was in a hurry, the sound of clogs was very loud.

She took out the embroidered belt from a cloth bag and looked smoothly for a while. She was stunned for a moment, then she no longer hesitated, folded it quickly, and placed it in a wooden box. Then she wrapped it with a cloth and a rope.

She walked back to the living room with her things in her arms and said to Maori: "Mr. Wang Shan has helped me, and I should thank him. If I don't have a chance in the future, I will give him some gifts as reward."

"What?" Maori asked.

Qiu Yuezhi said: "A paperweight, a pen, and an inkstone."

Maori glanced at the thing in her arms and nodded, "Give it to me."

Qiu Yuezhi held her and said, "I'll go with you."

Maori's little eyes looked at Qiu Yuezhi's face. Qiu Yuezhi faced his gaze, and a calm and polite smile appeared on his simple and beautiful face.

"Then let's go." Maori said.

The two walked into the yard, greeted two followers, and walked out of the Huitong Hall. The door sent by the Ming government did not make things difficult for them, but just greeted them. They walked across the Huitong Bridge in the south, then followed Chang'an Street to the right gate of Chang'an, and after showing the official documents and sealing letters, the defenders let them in.

After walking a while, a few people saw the wide Qianbulang. The simple and elegant large houses on both sides of the street are the locations of many central government offices in the Ming Dynasty.

Maori turned around and said in Japanese: "Wang Shan's identity may be fake, he seems to be a warrior. I guess he is probably a military general or a relative of the powerful and powerful Ming Dynasty. In short, there are people who know him in the government, otherwise those things will not be done. Ask the government to investigate thieves and let the eunuchs in the palace take you into the palace to wander."

Qiu Yuezhi said: "Why did he lie to us?"

"I don't know very well, maybe I don't want to show up as a real person." Maori said.

Qiu Yuezhi said, "Let's go to the Ministry of Rites to ask, won't you know?"

Maori nodded and said yes.

When he arrived at the ritual office, the Minister of Rites Hu Yi was sitting in the hall, so he invited envoys and Qiu Yuezhi to go through the hall to drink tea in the living room behind. The official who presided over the banquet was not the Secretary of Rites.

Several people talked in the living room for a while, Maori explained his purpose and sent the memorial. At this time, Qiuyue and others realized that the memorial was sent and received by Tongzheng and the Ministry of Rites, and it was not related to the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. However, Hu Yi still left the memorial and agreed to submit it to them.

Qiu Yuezhi asked, "Is Mr. Wang Shan, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, here?"

Hu Yi said: "It's really a coincidence that Wang Shan sent him out."

Qiu Yuezhi and Maori looked at each other, as if saying: Listen, Wang Shan wasn't lying, right?

She put down the thing and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Hu, and I'll hand this thing over to Wang Shan's doctor. This is our thank you."

Hu Yi said: "But not only jewelry, gold and silver, officials in our dynasty are not allowed to accept bribes."

Qiu Yuezhi shook her head and smiled.

After talking for a while, Maori wanted to say goodbye. The Minister of Shangshu didn't try to keep him, but just kindly reminded them: after the court approved the memorial, there would be a "dismounted banquet" and only after the banquet would someone be arranged to send them back to China.

...There is really an official from the Ministry of Rites named Wang Shan, and his official position is a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, who is in charge of the Jingshen Qingli. However, he is a veritable middle-aged literati with a thin face and a high cheekbones.

After Wang Shan returned to the yamen, his colleagues gave him the things and said it was a thank-you gift from Japanese woman Qiu Yuezhi. Of course, his colleagues also consciously did not ask much, and usually asked behind the scenes of inquiries and find out if there was any topic of conversation after dinner.

With this thing, Wang Shan was very confused because he didn't know the Japanese at all. The person who was responsible for receiving Maori and Qiuyue was an official arranged by the Qing Lishu Department of the Master and Guest Office, and there was also a nobleman from the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

Wang Shan looked at the package on the table, thought for a while, and then opened it to take a look. There was a silk fabric inside the wooden box, and there was nothing else, and no note was found.

Wang Shan put it back and asked an official to pay attention to when Hu Butang would go to the signing room. When it was almost noon, Wang Shan took the things to the signing room and explained the strange situation.

"Hubutang can allow the officials to send people to the Huitong Hall and go back?" Wang Shan asked.

Hu Yi looked at it and said, "Since it has been sent, it's really a matter of asking you to see them on purpose? The things are given to the North Office of the Guardian Department."

Wang Shan bowed and said, "The emperor obeys the order."

The Guardian Department had already received news from Hakata Bay, and confirmed that the two Japanese were fine, and they couldn't figure out what was going on. The officials felt that Qiu Yuezhi should be the show girl given to the emperor, so they handed the things directly to Cao Fu, the young supervisor of the Sili Superintendent.

So the embroidered belt was moved several times and finally reached the hands of the real "Wang Shan".

Zhu Gaoxu took out the thing and recognized what it was at a glance. He looked at the silk belt in front of him and felt very strange. He didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

But thinking about it, Qiu Yuezhi's entry into the palace was just a "responsibility" similar to the alliance; and she had some affection for the "Wang Shan" she had seen with her own eyes, which was personal emotions. He really didn't realize that getting close to a beauty was so simple. However, before, he did not have the fine silk scarf robe like Armani's clothing, and could not help women solve problems. Without the confidence of that identity, the temperament might be very different.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled, took out his belt and stuffed it into his arms, and the wooden box was thrown on the edge of the table. He thought to himself: What should I do with the light yellow silk belt? The emperor's uniforms of various styles have special belt specifications. If he wears a sacred robe, who will wrap a yellow-color belt?

He thought about it and could only wrap it in his clothes.
