Chapter 40 Life in Tokyo
In the face of this person's inquiry, Qin Wei calmly replied, "We are relatives of his distant wife."
"Ha ha, this is also strange. Why haven't I heard that Lin Tuan has so many relatives?" It turned out that the speaker was Wang Tuanlian, and it was also the situation he told Lin Tuanlian, the messenger in Shanzhai a few days ago. Today, I happened to come to the hotel alone for a drink and met Linger and Qin Wei, who came to inquire about the news.
Qin Wei also reacted quickly. Now he hugged his fist and saluted, "Isn't you Wang Tuan Lian?"
Wang Tuan was stunned, but then smiled and said, "Please sit down."
After Qin Wei and Linger sat down, Wang Tuanlian said to them, "A few days ago, I also came to inquire about Lin Tuan's practice. Do you two know?"
"Group training, we know. That was my brother's servant. Because of the long journey, he wanted to send someone to deliver letters and report his safety first. Unexpectedly, Lin Tuanlian's family moved out of Jiangning Mansion.
"Yes, I don't know what happened at that time. Mrs. Lin was seriously ill. Lin Tuan was straightforward and offended the powerful. The family was disturbed all day long, and several friends with her were also affected. Although I was not implicated on business, I was also punished for salary when I came back. Hey! It's also a good thing to leave here! But since then, I have never seen it again. Lin Tuanlian may be afraid of involving us, so he didn't even send a letter! By the way, after the servant left, I remembered that Lin Tuanlian had mentioned to me that he had a close friend in Bianliang before, but I didn't ask who it was. Go and look for it. Maybe you will go to the capital. After all, no one dares to be too presumptuous at the feet of the emperor!" This speech ignited Linger's hope, and Qin Wei repeatedly thanked Wang Tuan for his guidance.
Wang Tuanlian looked at Xiao Manxiu again and sighed, saying, "Yuqing is also four years old. When she left, Mrs. Lin was pregnant again. The serious illness and the bumps on the road, but she didn't know whether the mother and son were safe, and she was very worried about it. If you can find Lin Tuanlian in the capital, I hope you can convey your greetings!"
"I'm sure, thank you for practicing!"
"Hey, it's really a mess! I didn't expect a good family to be forced to such a point.
Linger listened to this, if she hadn't endured it, her tears would have hardly fallen! The days of Mrs. Lin's serious illness should have been before and after learning about the tragic changes of Jinhua Su's family. How sad and heartbroken Mrs. Lin should have lost her only sister-in-law and little nephew in the world in an instant, and her family was restless because she offended the powerful. Hey, what a 'making man'!"
After thanking Wang Tuanlian, the two returned to their residence. The next morning, he rode on his way, passed Yingtianfu and arrived at Kaifengfu, Tokyo. It is really at the foot of the emperor, full of prosperity. Qin Wei and Linger casually chose a family to live in the many restaurants. Although the long-awaited Tokyo City had arrived, they were at a loss as to find out how to find people.
The first thing Qin Wei did was to write a letter to find someone to bring to the brothers in Danyang, telling them that they had arrived in Kaifeng safely. Don't miss it.
The next thing is to entrust someone to set up a two-story cottage with a single courtyard on Mahang Street, because the residential shops here are mixed and it is easy to hide their identity. Qin Wei and Linger both know that what the person they are looking for does is not something that can be found in a day or two. Living in a hotel is far from a long-term plan. They simply get down the house and live the life of ordinary people.
Qin Wei knew that Hu Yong was a native of the capital and originally served in the capital. Since he could not find himself, he expected that he would go to the capital in the end, so he had to arrange eyeliner. In order to prevent it, Qin Wei still found an identity for himself, pretended to be a grocery man, and shuttled through the market all day. He not only came and went freely, but also met many people every day, so it was easy to find out the news.
In recent years, although Qin Wei has fled, he is very careful about the war between the court and Xixia. Although the Song army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Zhidingchuan, it was both happy and sighed when Xixia's dream was shattered. Knowing that Emperor Renzong was willing to accept the peace, Pang Taishi's representative was very worried when negotiating.
The year Qin Wei arrived in the capital was in the fourth year of Renzong's Qing calendar. Through the notice, it was learned that the court had reached an agreement with Xixia: Xixia became a minister, and the Song Dynasty took coins. This result made Qin Wei, and it should be said that many people in the Song Dynasty could not laugh or cry. Xixia asked for peace, and Xixia surrendered. Why did he pay money in the Song Dynasty? It was also known as a reward! But after all, there will be no war and peace, which is good after all.
Qin Wei remembered Ma Haiqing's letter to Hu Yong, "As long as the adult can mix this jade pendant into the gifts of the court, he will be very happy to rise." But at that time, it was said that someone in the court wanted to make peace with Xixia, but now Xixia took the initiative to seek peace. Xixia lost all the losses in the Battle of Dingchuan and should not be able to recover, but has Xixia's ambition really stopped? If it is really peaceful, wouldn't this letter and the distribution map of soldiers and horses become hot potatoes? The result is nothing more than destroying the letter and pictures, and seriously looking for some other reasons to kill Hu Yong and Ma Haiqing. If they don't do these, the only thing the court will do is to kill itself and make this matter a secret forever. In the eyes of politicians, nothing is more important than peace.
Thinking of this, Qin Wei couldn't help but have a cold war. Unexpectedly, he had been in exile for many years, and Hua Yun died because of this, and the exchange for it turned out to be a meaningless result.
Life is so vicissitudes that no one knows what will happen the next moment. Maybe today's misfortune will immediately turn into tomorrow's happiness. Maybe someone has struggled all his life and found that what he is trying to do is nothing. And luck and misfortune are only the meaning given to it by people, right? How can people cherish happiness more without misfortune? Life is like a mystery without a mystery, which makes people unable to guess and wonder, and feel that those who think about life are either real wise or completely confused. This may be the reason why people always feel afraid and don't know what their fate will be. In fact, sometimes people are really stupid. The ending is all death. It's all dust and dust. It's hard to say where to be afraid of the ending!
However, since you have come to the world passively and survived passively, you will eventually die passively. You must always take the initiative to do something meaningful to prove your value when you are conscious and capable of domination. Just as businessmen will use a lot of money to prove their success, and politicians will use their rising status to prove their power, they have to do something.
But Qin Wei is indeed a little confused now. It turns out that he has made it his goal to resist the invasion of the Western Xia people and defend the land of the Song Dynasty, but it has all changed because of a letter, a jade pendant and a woman. In recent years, he has taken direct access to Tianting as his goal, but it was shattered by the peace between the court and Xixia. Fortunately, there are still things that can be done to take care of Linger and Man Xiu, and help them find their relatives. However, Tokyo has a large population and is mixed, so it is not easy to ask about a former group training. What's more, today I don't know if Lin Tuanlian's family lives in Tokyo. But you have to try. If you try, there will be hope. If you don't try, there will never be hope. This almost became a sentence that Qin Wei had been talking about all day, and he comforted Linger like this.
Qin Wei put the golden hairpin, which is more important than his life all day long, in Linger's dressing box. Since then, he has focused on living the life of ordinary people and inquired about Lin Tuan's family as soon as he had the opportunity.
