Chapter 25 second quarter

I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, Shengzhisuke didn't meet Ajin face to face for several days. No, to be precise, even though the two met, they pretended not to see it.They all live in this small Fukan longhouse, and no matter how reluctant they are, they still meet each other.But when he saw Shengzhisuke's figure, Ajin ran away as if he had seen a ghost. Shengzhisuke had no reason to catch up when he saw Ajin running away, he just wondered. Still, the unnaturalness was uncomfortable—did I do something that pissed Jin off? Driven by this timid thought, he secretly asked Tai Yi about it.

"Why is Ah Jin angry with me?" Tai Yi showed a very strange expression after hearing the words.If he really wanted to describe it, he seemed to have eaten something he had never eaten before, and he didn't know how to describe the taste in words. "I said Mr. Sheng." "Ok." "You shouldn't be asking me this kind of thing." "why?" "Because she is my older sister." Tai Yi scratched his temples. "Although she is stupid, she is my own sister after all." "Ah Jin is not stupid at all." "No wonder, she's so stupid." She was so stupid about it—Muttered Tai One.

"Mr. Sheng, has anyone ever told you who you are and what your heart is?" Shengzhisuke was confused. "Are you saying that you put your heart in your heart?" He wrote the character "仁" toward the sky and explained that this is a Chinese character used to express the right way and etiquette of a person. Tai is very nerve-wracking. "I don't understand this. Can you give me a day? I'll ask Mr. Wubu for advice." Taichi brought a piece of paper the next day, and the ink stains on Mr. Takebe's words were still wet. "That's it. This is what I want to say. Mr. Wubu said, you should know what it means when you look at it."

It says "Heart of Wooden Man and Stone".Of course Shengzhisuke understood, this time he could only scratch the bridge of his nose. Ah Jin is a good girl.She has a good temperament and is hardworking, but to Shengzhisuke, she is just that; Ajin seems to have no reason to fall in love with Shengzhisuke.At this moment, Sheng Zhisuke was thinking about the reasons one by one. He didn't know whether he should be said to be young or hard-hearted, but he himself had never thought about this level.On the other hand, why Ajin is crying, it should be because Shengzhisuke has been running to Wada house frequently recently.Ah Jin thought that he and He Xiang were in love, and felt awkward.

It was purely a misunderstanding—Shonosuke wanted to say that, but he wasn't sure it was a pure misunderstanding.Although half of it was a misunderstanding, the other half didn't know what was going on - that's all he could say, he still couldn't figure out what He Xiang was thinking. Sheng Zhisuke was taught by the teacher of the feudal kingdom.Don't be impatient when faced with things you can't see through. Try to understand what you don't understand. It's like cutting a fish open with a knife suddenly. Things you don't understand will disappear without a trace.Therefore, when you encounter something you don't understand, let it swim freely like keeping a fish in a fish pond, and then observe carefully. This is the correct way to understand.When Sheng Zhisuke is learning anything: the teacher's teachings often appear in his heart.

Having said that, the teacher's remarks cannot be applied to mundane matters such as love between men and women.Of course, the teacher did not expect this level at all.However, Shengzhisuke can only scratch the bridge of his nose right now, he has no other choice, he decided to faithfully follow the teacher's teaching this time, and temporarily put this troublesome matter in the pond for observation.He did not explain to Ah Jin at all, or persuade her to stop frowning and continue to live as before; since Ah Jin avoided meeting each other, it was not as difficult as he imagined.Axiu was very worried about him, and her face was radiant with curiosity, and she gave him advice from time to time, so nothing happened; only a little sorry for Taiyi, Taiyi solemnly asked the teacher of the military department "a wooden man has a stone heart" He asked the teacher to write the words on the paper, which shows that he understands the world better than Sheng Zhisuke-the sentence he said most often is "don't ask me".

Taiyi doesn't like to talk about big things like Shengzhisuke, he sees the conclusion directly.Taiyi said, respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them, and disasters will never come to you. In other words, no matter what my sister does, just ignore her.Although Shengzhisuke felt a little guilty, he was not forced to use words or actions to appease Taiyi. If the situation is the opposite, Taiyi suddenly said angrily "Mr. Sheng, you made my sister cry", or yelled "My sister is too pitiful, you should think of a way", without any consideration for Sheng Zhisuke Thinking, the situation must be more difficult.

Therefore, Shengzhisuke should really appreciate Taiyi's kindness.The benefit of this child's wit to him will be felt more deeply when Shengzhisuke encounters a major event in the future, and this matter will be mentioned later.Right now, thanks to Taiyi, he has prepared a fish pond and done him a big favor. —Besides, I don't have time to worry about such things right now. He had to strain his nerves about other things.In fact, Shengzhisuke has been walking around Edo City frequently recently, looking for clues on behalf of the script. The old Mr. Igaki he found was a samurai, and most of the people who carried out this business with the signboard of acting as a proxy were of the same status.Many of them are retired samurai or ronin, and some members of the royal family are away on part-time business.They live in the city, but they retain the reserve of samurai—it’s better to say that they have been looking forward to the opportunity to show their feelings as samurai in a suitable way, so when Sheng Zhisuke was looking for someone, he proposed that "to imitate others, is it Don't you want to cooperate with the other party to change your heart and eyes?" The weird questions and answers, in short, are beyond the mundane and worth discussing, and they all seem to be in high spirits.Thanks to this, Sheng Zhisuke did not grasp any important clues at all, because it would take a lot of time just to visit a proxy.This happens over and over again.

Needless to say, I know that looking for a proxy can't make half a dime, so the work of Murata House can't be lazy.If the oil lamp is lit after the sun goes down, the oil cost is quite considerable, so he works at dawn in summer, and goes to the street after lunch. As summer goes and autumn comes, and the days are short and the nights are long, this method will not work.He'd spent the summer poking around and finding nothing, and it was time to find another way.However, compared to living in a daze all day, Sheng Zhisuke's life is much more exciting now. The words of the people in the scribal business are not far from those of Jihei.Being in the business, most people have a way of imitating someone else's handwriting if someone asks for it.Among them, veterans can write wonderful and vivid handwriting like Sheng Zhisuke said, and even the parties can hardly distinguish the authenticity.

However, the reason for imitating so finely is very dubious.They all want to ask the reason in detail. If the customer can explain the reason frankly and let people accept it, that would be fine; if the customer is difficult to explain the reason and make people feel that the matter is not simple, then they will not accept the commission unless the customer offers an astonishingly high price .No, even if a high price is offered, it will not be accepted.Compared with bearers and peddlers, acting as a secretary is much more stylish. At first glance, this business is very suitable for samurai who have lost their salary, but their daily life is no different from that of bearers and hawkers who earn money every day. A weak person with no status and reputation, and no official position to back him up.It is human nature for these people not to want to cause trouble, let alone those who also work as contemporary books.In order to earn a few small money and lose the position, the loss outweighs the gain.

On the other hand, there is a saying on behalf of the scriptures that is similar to Hexiang. "Seeing a document with exactly the same handwriting as my own, but insisting that it is not the man I wrote, isn't it a lie?" "This is related to the reputation of the samurai." "Because of my reputation, I can't admit that I wrote it." A scribe also said: "You said that the handwriting was imitated so lifelike that even the person who saw the document couldn't tell the authenticity from the fake. There should be some problems in the first part of this matter." The person who said this was a ronin who was older than Shengzhisuke, but considered quite young for a person who was engaged in the book agency business. "You said the previous paragraph was..." "Maybe the handwriting isn't that similar." Because the two are close in age, they speak informally. "Mr. Guqiao, have you seen that document with your own eyes?" Sheng Zhisuke has never seen it.The ironclad evidence, which claims to be written by his father Furuhashi Sozaemon, pointing at him for taking bribes, has been kept secretly by Mutsuke in the feudal domain. "No, I haven't seen it." "That's even more suspicious." "But that's what the person involved said." "Maybe I was too excited for a while, or because of some difficulties, the handwriting that is obviously not much alike speaks exactly the same." Sheng Zhisuke heard this explanation for the first time.Speaking of bribery, there is no doubt that his mother, Lijiang, blatantly sought officials for his eldest brother, and his father was responsible for this, but his father was really surprised by the forged document and kept claiming that it was not written by him. ——Is there a problem with this? However, if this is the case, wouldn't it be easier for the father to admit that he wrote it from the beginning?What good would it do a father to keep insisting that the documents were not in his handwriting?As haggard as he was then, he knew it would only mess things up and not help. Seeing that Sheng Zhisuke was silent, the young generation secretary looked at him tenderly and said: "People's hearts change, and sometimes they change their minds because of a little thing. At dawn, I firmly believe that this is the right way, but in the evening, it fades. This kind of thing is not very good. common?" That's right-Shengzhisuke agreed and said goodbye. He never asked about the origin of the young acting secretary.But I always felt that it was not because he failed to inherit the family business and had no way of making ends meet that he lived in the streets.Like Sheng Zhisuke, he may have suffered similarly to the Furuhashi family, so he lost his family business, left his hometown, and wandered to Edo. Another acting secretary used other methods to let Sheng Zhisuke hear opinions he had never thought of.Like old Mr. Igaki, he is an old man, with a childlike appearance, wearing an expensive ten virtues, and speaking in samurai language.And when the two of them talked, he frequently used a long pipe to puff clouds and mist. "I believe that there must be other reasons besides money's sake for a scribe with such extraordinary abilities to be willing to accept such a suspicious entrustment." "You mean he can't be induced by money alone?" "That's right." The old man nodded heavily, and tapped the pipe on the edge of the ashtray. "Of course, if the acting secretary has a long history of friendship with the guest, it's a different matter if he still can't refuse a suspicious request." Sheng Zhisuke nodded in agreement. "One situation is that the two sides are congenial. Like that kind of forged document... Can I bluntly say that it is a forgery?" "Okay, you can just say it." "The secretary deeply agreed with the client's purpose of producing such documents, and decided to help him. However, it would be an exaggeration to say that the purpose of producing forged documents is to help others or to reform the current situation." The old man stared at Shengzhisuke with his small eyes. "You mean to see the positive meaning from the use of forged documents?" "That's right. But although it has a positive meaning, it only has a positive meaning for the entrusted guests." As for the other situation - this time the old man narrowed his eyes. "The acting secretary didn't have this kind of enthusiasm at all, and he knew very well that if he made a mistake, he would get into trouble, but he found it interesting." "Fun?" "Even if it's just a love letter, as long as it is forged and used properly, it may cause an uproar, and the ensuing turmoil is not difficult to foresee. Even so, the other party deliberately got involved in this matter, which shows that he is a weirdo." In other words, just because it's fun. "It's just a surrogate who took over the job. The customer probably wouldn't report the consequences of the forged documents one by one. The scribe should not know what happened, but he just guessed that the forged documents he created with his own hands later How he was used by others made him secretly happy. He must be a vicious and cynical person, and there are such people in the world." Shengzhisuke thought about these words carefully, "On the other hand, although the guest has repeatedly told me that this document is of great importance and must not be leaked, if the agreement is violated, Baozhun's life will be lost, but the acting secretary thinks Interesting, is there such a person?" The corner of the old secretary wearing ten virtues raised his mouth slightly. "There should be. It's more interesting to play a part in such a big event." Because this kind of life is really boring - the old secretary said. "Don't look at me like this, I used to be an imperial doctor of a certain clan. Now I don't see my talents, I live in Edo, I work as a secretary, and I barely make ends meet. Most people who are engaged in this business have the same experience as me. Eat, sleep, and get enough sleep Eating, living the same life every day, in the days when life is wasted bit by bit, suddenly someone threatens to say, 'If you dare to betray, I will kill you', what a joyful thing it is." He should be overjoyed to accept this commission—the old man has bright eyes and a toothy grin, as if he finds it very interesting. This clue has nothing to do with the secretary Sheng Zhisuke is looking for.However, hearing the old man's words is not without help.He recalled the matter of his father and Guqiao's family, which gave him a chance to rethink this matter. —Everyone seems to be underappreciated. The young acting secretary and the old acting secretary who served as an imperial doctor, from the point of view of eating enough, sleeping and eating, the current life is still satisfying, but their hearts are empty.It was as if a crack had appeared in the soul, seeping in the cold wind. The townspeople who were born without a family name feel lucky just to have a skill. For them, the idea of ​​acting as a secretary is really absurd.However, for Sheng Zhisuke, who once had a "family name", had a lord to serve, had people who needed protection, and was once protected by them, he could vaguely see the cracks in their hearts.He seemed to feel the same cold wind. Today's Shengzhisuke is not expelled from Daogenfan, but it's just not in form.He has no place to stay when he returns to the feudal kingdom, and his mother and elder brother probably won't be happy to welcome him.Mother Rie fell in love with Shigehide Sakazaki's rhetoric when Shengzhisuke left the domain, and encouraged Shengzhisuke to go to Edo and work hard to revitalize the Furuhashi family. I don't know what she thinks now.After the Chinese New Year, Lijiang didn't send any more letters, and he also accepted the gift from the gangster who framed his father—Hanochi, and lived a good life. Sheng Zhisuke's major mission is to find out the agent who forged the document.This is related to the safety and peace of the next generation of Dao Genfan, and at the same time, he can avenge his father and wash away his stigma.But Lie, who is content with his current life, knows nothing about this matter, and the eldest brother Katsunosuke, who is moving towards the goal of success and fame, may have long forgotten his useless younger brother. If there are cliques and factions in the Taogen clan to check each other, then Katsunosuke, who has always hoped to make a fortune, will have to choose sides sooner or later.He may now join one of the parties.Katsunosuke was completely unaware of the inside story that Shengnosuke knew, and the party he joined might be the party that framed his father.On the surface, the punishment for his eldest brother in the domain is quite loose. Once he joins the party he believes in, he should give his allegiance to him with his upright personality. Shengzhisuke made a promise that he would be a regular guide before Hexiang finished the painting of Wadaya, so he continued to report to Hetianya, but his heart was no longer here, and his thoughts drifted to other places at every turn, and sometimes he was not listening to talking with Xiang .Although he tried to cover it up so as not to make He Xiang suspicious, he still felt very ashamed. Finally finished the field survey and sketches, they started to draw the design drawings. Just like the one who made Sichuan fans before, he decided which season to choose, what decorations to put in the alcove, and whose paper dolls to place where. Think again.On this day, he borrowed a long ruler from Axiu to draw a brand-new design drawing, and went to Hetian House to have a look. Shengzhisuke felt a chill in his heart.Chang Hexiang cried after Ah Jin, and he suspected that it was him again.This kind of thinking may be a bit of a slap in the face, but since Ajin has the opportunity to know about the Wada house through the longhouse resident Axiu, causing a commotion, it is nothing to be surprised if someone says something to Hexiang or Jindo . Seeing Shinosuke's timid face, Kazuka didn't hide her swollen eyes from crying, and said directly: "My mother and I had a fight." Sheng Zhisuke was really relieved. "What are you arguing about?" Hexiang pouted. "I can't tell." "Yes, I really shouldn't ask that question." "No, it's because of your relationship that I can't say it." It was hard to breathe a sigh of relief, and now there was no chance to take a breath. "What does it have to do with me?" Hexiang said "I can't say" again. "If I say it casually, it will disturb your mind." It's clearly a mess now. "Miss Hexiang, what you are doing is tantalizing. I can't calm down." "Mr. Guqiao." Hexiang rubbed her fingers uncomfortably. "Didn't you mention the scribes who are good at imitating other people's handwriting?" Sheng Zhisuke widened his eyes. "Look, you've got that look on your face right away. It must be something important. You've been thinking about it a lot since you mentioned it." She found out early.He Xiang leaned forward on the desk and whispered: "I'm not a big mouther. I didn't tell my mother exactly what Mr. Guqiao said. I swear everything is true." According to her deliberate emphasis on this point, Sheng Zhisuke accidentally blurted out about his father, and Hexiang always kept it in mind. "Then what?" "My mother..." He Xiang's eyes were extremely serious. Recently, the red spots on her face have faded a lot, but today the color has deepened a little. Could it be because of a quarrel and crying? "As for Mr. Guqiao, the scribe who has imitation skills, my mother seems to know it well." Sheng Zhisuke was speechless after hearing the words, and Kazuka bowed to him as if apologizing. "When I asked for more details, she refused to say anything, and her mouth was as tight as a dead clam. I was so angry and annoyed that I couldn't help but have a big fight with her." how so.Shengzhisuke felt dizzy. He Xiang's mother, the proprietress of Wada House, was named Ding.It is said that it is taken from the word tripod in "Ask for the Worth".The name is very dignified.Shinosuke hurriedly requests an interview with Kanae through Jinta.Kanae readily agreed, and accompanied by Jinda to Kazuka's room, she looked at Shengzhisuke and said: "My little girl is so talkative, it really spread into your ears, Mr. Guqiao." Although there was reproach in the speech, there was no malice in the voice and no displeasure in the expression.Sheng Zhisuke breathed a sigh of relief. As for the daughter facing her mother, her mouth is pursed even higher. "How could I be silent." Ding glanced at her daughter's bulging cheeks, and sighed while resting her hands on her chest tightly wrapped with dark-colored belts. "Because it's not about our family, it's hard for mother to speak. Don't you understand?" "Whether I understand it or not, you won't tell me the details, will you?" "Because you get angry easily and talk so loudly that you can't hear me." Take a closer look at the rash on the right side of the boss's nose today.While she's not angry, she may be distressed by something.The entanglement in her heart was immediately shown on her face. In this alone, the mother and daughter's personalities can be said to be straightforward. "I'm really sorry for bothering the two of you." Sheng Zhisuke apologized very respectfully, and Kainge was ashamed. "Teacher, please get up quickly. I made you laugh." Call me teacher, right? "Our mother and daughter have always been at odds." Ding said calmly. "I believe you have heard that Hexiang is very harsh to me. She was originally a competitive girl, and she treated me harshly. As her mother, I feel the deepest." "That's not what I said. Mom, I'm not targeting you all the time." "Just like it is now." Ding smiled and bowed to Shengzhisuke. "In the face of such a hard-to-serve daughter, teacher, you are still willing to serve as her instructor. We are very grateful. The gratitude is beyond words. Therefore, as long as we can help the teacher, we will never refuse .” But—— Kanae lowered her voice. "First, this happened a long time ago. Second, this matter is related to other stores, so I really don't want to disclose it." She said before that this is not a matter of our family, so this is what she meant. "As far as the other party is concerned, this matter is detrimental to the reputation. If I stand in the position of the other party, if someone publicizes it to the outside world, I must be quite troubled." Kanae, who looked similar to Kazuka, had a worried look on her face.Sheng Zhisuke saluted heavily from the upper body. "I understand your situation. It is my duty to apologize to you for having brought this trouble." Jindo, who was also sitting with his back to the paper door today, watched with relish, his eyes shining brightly. "I'm looking for such a suspicious person everywhere. Actually, I have difficulties that I can't explain. Although I'm a rogue, I'm still a samurai. If you say it's for the reputation of my Guqiao family, can you understand?" Ding's expression was shaken.Jindo's eyes also changed.He Xiang pouted. "Everything I've heard from you will never be disclosed to outsiders. I swear by the reputation of the Guqiao family that I will absolutely keep my mouth shut. Can you please trust me and tell me this matter." Ding put his hands together on his knees again, pursed his lips tightly, and nodded slightly. "I see." She squinted at Hexiang. "When I first heard about the secretariat from my daughter, I suspected that Hexiang had heard about it from somewhere, and used the name of Teacher Guqiao to talk to me. Because the secretariat you are looking for, teacher, is the same as A scrivener who performed stunts in events I know of fits perfectly." What a horrible coincidence. "I wouldn't play a prank like that." He Xiang still had an awkward tone. "Speaking of which, where would I hear the news? I'll be locked at home all day." "Exactly." At this time, Kanae's face was neither the expression of the proprietress of Wadaya, nor the expression of his mother, but a little girl who shared a secret with others, and smiled at Hexiang.Shengzhisuke speculated that she should have had the same pain as Hexiang when she was a girl, and she often hid at home alone.The reason why He Xiang is clearly contradicting her, getting angry with her, and losing her temper is partly because of being angry and depressed, but no matter how awkward she is, she knows that the person who understands her feelings best is her mother who has the same pain as her. "It happened about twenty years ago." Ding said. "My hometown is a grocery store, and there is a ceramics store nearby. The owner's daughter is the same age as me, and we have always been together since childhood." Later, there was a dispute over the heir to that ceramic shop. "The girl with whom I have a good relationship is named Ah Fu, and Ah Fu has two older brothers. The two brothers are one year apart. I used to play with them when I was young. The two brothers have a bad relationship, and they grow up to be like fire and water." Because the eldest man is fond of having fun, especially gambling, and is addicted to it. "In my memory, Ah Fu's father once scolded the eldest son loudly. At that time, my parents said that if they could quit playing after a few words of scolding, they would not have to work so hard." The father and son quarreled constantly, and finally severed the father-son relationship. The eldest son ran away from home and lost his whereabouts, like a kite with a broken string.Years later, the second son inherited the family business. "About two years later, the owner of the ceramics shop, who had a successful business, suddenly fainted and died within half a day." Like a stroke. "There was chaos up and down the store." Fortunately, the second son who inherited the family business was very calm and finished the funeral smoothly. Just when everyone thought the matter was over, the eldest son suddenly returned home.Everyone in the pottery shop was surprised by the unexpected return of the young master.It would be a good thing for the prodigal son to change his mind because of his father's death.After all, they are his flesh and blood relatives.But this is not the good talk that everyone expected.The eldest son who had been severed not only did not repent, but even worsened. He was completely reduced to a villain. "Someone got hold of him." The tall man who owed a whole lot of debts for wanton play put two or three ropes around his neck, and was tightly strangled by other people, namely a gambler and a rascal, and a dissolute woman who claimed to be the master of the new insider. Ren is the wine and meat friend of the young master.They surrounded him, seeing that there was no money to fish, they looked at the property in the shop and encouraged the eldest son to go back to the pottery shop to inherit the family business. "Hasn't he been severed from his father-son relationship?" He Xiang interjected, and Ding slowly shook his head. "The old shopkeeper verbally said 'I will sever the father-son relationship with you'." "The other party must have grasped this point." Sheng Zhisuke said. "Although the relationship between father and son has been severed, there is no evidence. If he says, 'I met Dad privately, and he agrees to restore our father-son relationship', everything will be over." "That's right, teacher, that's it." Kanae referred to Shengzhisuke as "teacher". "The rogue is particularly clever in this regard. Sometimes he threatens and sometimes coaxes. The proprietress of the pottery shop thinks that the eldest son is still his precious son after all. They hope that the proprietress will miss this old love and deliberately infiltrate the pottery shop." At that time, Kanae and Wadaya discussed the marriage.Ding's parents are deeply disturbed when they see the pottery store being taken over by thugs. If anything happens to their precious daughter, it is absolutely impossible, so they strictly forbid Ding to approach the pottery shop. The pottery shop was a headache, and the second boy consulted the local policeman, who was smart and reliable, and came up with a plan for him. ——To deal with that kind of person, if you don't tell a reason, it will be endless. If we just talk about each other blindly, they are so brazen, we can only be beaten. "What's the point?" He Xiang asked.Sheng Zhisuke guessed a bit, and there was a commotion in his heart. "Just take out the suicide note of the old shopkeeper." I guess so. "It is clearly written in the suicide note that severed the father-son relationship with the eldest son and handed over the family business to the second son. They have to take out this suicide note and explain everything clearly." Even if he didn't sue the government, he should bring the suicide note to the town master for a review, and those scoundrels should be cured.As long as there is such a suicide note, I can handle this matter for you.The policeman said, take the job. "But there is no such suicide note at all, right?" He Xiang suddenly understood after finishing speaking. "Oh, so that's what happened." "That's right. Creation out of nothing." Kanae looked into Shengzhisuke's eyes, Shengzhisuke also nodded in response. "So ask the secretary for help?" "Yes, that's what happened." Fortunately, many documents can be used as a model of the old owner's handwriting.According to these templates, a suicide note that is difficult to distinguish between true and false can be written.If it is sloppy imitation, it will only find an excuse for those scoundrels and make use of it.The most important thing about this drama is the suicide note. "Finally the turmoil subsided, and the scoundrels left the pottery shop, and they quarreled for about a month." Kanae narrowed her eyes as if thinking about the past and said. "Did it work in the end?" "Everything went very well." Kanae heard the ins and outs from Ah Fu, who finally regained his cheerfulness. "Ah Fu read the forged suicide note and thought it was written by his father himself. The suicide note was submitted to the town name lord for his judgment." The owner of the town knew about this beforehand, but he still took the suicide note and compared it with many documents and the account books of the ceramics shop. After completing the necessary steps, it was confirmed that it was indeed the suicide note of the old shop owner and the second son heir Industry. "Because I didn't report to the government, this alone is enough to drive away those scoundrels. I heard that I even invited the arresting boss to take care of this matter and pay a large sum of money." Everyone therefore came to an agreement.The eldest son really severed his relationship with his family this time, and the money was used as alimony. "It's far better than having all his property taken away by him. If the ceramic shop and the girl, Ah Fu, are taken over by those people, I don't know how miserable the end will be." The suicide note is like the tokuwa in sumo wrestling. It is the last key for the ceramics store to hold on to the storefront and hold on with all its strength.Although it is a fake, if it is not, the ceramic shop may be swallowed up by rogues and completely occupied.But then again, is this also related to the suicide note?What a horrible coincidence. "Master, you must have guessed it." Ding, the acting secretary at that time, lowered his voice slightly. "I heard that the pottery shop took a lot of effort to find him. Once he was entrusted to deal with it, it was discovered that the general surrogate could not imitate the suicide note that was almost authentic." There are not such people everywhere who change their hearts according to the object they want to imitate. "I didn't hear from Ah Fu who was the scribe who wrote the suicide note for the pottery shop." "What, so mother doesn't know?" Hexiang said, Jinta narrowed his eyes and put on a reproachful expression.As long as he is with his mother, Hexiang will become impatient and childish. "However, Ah Fu said..." ——We were worried about this at the time, and we discussed this matter with our family. The people in our family said, I will find a solution for you, and it turned out that I really figured out a solution for us. Shengzhisuke slowly repeated Kanae's words. "Did you mention my family just now?" Ding shrank slightly. "yes." "Ma'am, do you know that the ceramic shop is a branch of a certain shop?" "That's right. They are relatives. Their family is a large-scale old store...the business is quite prosperous." Her voice became smaller and smaller. "I have a good relationship with Ah Fu, and I have been in contact with their family for a long time. They often invite me to visit their house...and now they often keep in touch." She spoke very quickly as if she was evading. "My family has a wide range of businesses and a wide range of people. If you ask them for help when you are in trouble, it is not surprising that they will give full play to their connections and help." Indeed. "Teacher, although ceramics shops are not yet like antique shops, they will sometimes use the descriptions attached to ceramics or lacquerware to help buy and sell, so cultivate the eyesight to identify handwriting and documents, and often communicate with people who have identification skills." Incidentally, they associate with people who know how to forge documents. "Teacher, Ah Fu's family is a decently run big store." Kanae spoke as if she had something in her teeth, probably because she couldn't say the name of the "Honya" shop.Since they are now in contact, it is only natural to be afraid. That's how it turned out—Sheng Zhisuke suddenly realized, and slapped his knee hard.When Hexiang went to the flower viewing party held by Kanoya in the spring of this year, he always thought it was an invitation from Jihei, but it turned out that it was not, and Hexiang was invited to be there because of his relationship with the pottery shop. "Ma'am," Sheng Zhisuke turned to face Kanae. "Since it's a business relationship, I naturally have your concerns. I won't ask you what my treasure number is." But—Shonosuke stared at the proprietress of Wadaya. "Next, I will tell you the name of a certain store. If the name of the store is correct... If this store is the ceramics store that introduced your friend to your friend and helped them through their difficulties, can you please remain silent? ? On the contrary, if the name of the store I mentioned is wrong, please let me know." He asked again, "Is that okay?" Ding responded in a low voice, "Okay." "Mother," He Xiang called out involuntarily. "Don't worry, I will keep this secret." Kanae frowned slightly, she rubbed her fingers uneasily, and looked at Shengzhisuke. Shengzhisuke said, "Kanoya in Ise Town, Kanda." Ding silent. Jinda was also silent, and Kazuka looked at Shengzhisuke. "thank you." Hearing Shinosuke's brief thank you, Kanae turned his head to look at Jinta, and suddenly changed his tone. "Hey, you don't have to be so restrained. Jinda, quickly serve tea to the teacher." Kanae said with soft eyes. "My little girl is so self-willed, teacher, you are still willing to teach her, it is really different, this is my little thank you." This is actually a great reward.
