Chapter 60 4. Qian Huizi sang "Shangxie" lightly, and Yang Du's internal organs were all tumbling when he sang it straight

After breakfast on the morning of the 18th, everyone surrounded the Yang brothers and came to the pier.The three-storey Tazaki Maru is anchored firmly on the coast, and the crew are busy carrying food, tidying up the rooms, cleaning the aisles, and preparing to welcome 200 passengers to China.The pier was crowded with people and their voices were loud.While talking to everyone, Yang Du looked around. He knew that Qian Huizi would not come because she didn't know the date of departure.But emotion still drove him to search among the crowd, hoping for a miracle. He was disappointed, there was no sign of Chieko on the Yokohama pier!

Yang Jun has already stepped on the boarding board with the wooden box.Liang Qichao held Yang Du's hand tightly, and reminded again: "Xi Zi, take care, remember to write to me often!" Yang Du also held Liang Qichao's hand tightly: "I hope you will return to China as soon as possible!" The two comrades-in-arms who were fighting for the future of the motherland in a foreign country looked at each other, and it was difficult to separate for a long time.Suddenly, Yang Du remembered a big event. "Zhuo Ru, I entrust you with something." "What's the matter?" Liang Qichao let go.

Yang Du opened the Japanese-style rattan box at his feet, and took out "Hunan Youth Song". "Please go to Teng Yuan's house in the afternoon and hand it over to Qian Huizi, and ask her to forgive me for not saying goodbye to her." "Why, you didn't say goodbye to Qian Huizi?" Liang Qichao, who was also affectionate, opened his eyes wide and blamed out of incomprehension, "Xizi, you have gone too far, how can you ask me to explain it for you!" Yang Du smiled wryly and said: "There is no way to do this, it's just my innate fragility, and I can't pass the face-to-face separation of life and death."

Liang Qichao was about to take "Songs of Hunan Youth" from Yang Du, but unexpectedly a man came to them, bent down to Yang Du, and said, "Mr. Yang, my lady, please go over and say a few words." The man raised his head, and when Yang Du looked at it, he was surprised and delighted.It turned out that this person was the servant in Teng Yuan's family who was in charge of greeting him a few days earlier. "Qian Huizi, is it Qian Huizi? Where is she? Take me there!" It was like a breach in the embankment was pierced, and the long-stored flood rushed out of the breach, and quickly washed away the entire embankment. Yang Du could no longer control his emotions, and he held "Hunan Youth Song" tightly, ignoring his surroundings. Liang Qichao and the rattan box under his feet grabbed the hands of the servants of Teng Yuan's family and ran and shouted.

Not far away, under a tall and luxuriant cherry tree, there are a few pieces of milky white tatami mats, and a beautiful girl is kneeling on the tatami mats. Isn't that Chieko? "Qianhuizi!" Yang Du shouted, and ran over in three steps at a time.It was her, it was Qian Huizi who was surrounded by her whole heart! She was wearing a satin kimono with lavender and yellow flowers.Yang Du clearly remembered that when they met for the first time more than three years ago, Qian Huizi was wearing exactly this dress, but today's Qian Huizi has no modification on her head and face, her two eyes are swollen, and she was glamorous in the past His look was completely gone.

"Qianhuizi!" Yang Du bowed deeply to the girl under the cherry blossom tree with extreme excitement and apology, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. "Mr. Xizi!" Qian Huizi stood up and smiled sadly. "Fortunately, fortunately there is no boat, we can meet again." "Qian Huizi, please forgive me..." Yang Du swallowed hard, he had to pause for a while before continuing, "Please forgive me for not saying goodbye to you, because I am afraid that neither you nor I can bear it..." "Mr. Xizi, please sit down!" Qian Huizi pursed her lips tightly, and it took a long time before she could say a word.

Yang Du knelt and sat opposite Qian Huizi, staring intently at the lover in his heart.Only a few days without seeing her, she was much haggard; his heart was pierced like a knife.Qian Huizi also stared blankly at Yang Du, the literary and elegant Prince Charming lost weight and lost his mind; her heart was broken.The ways of expressing affection and love between men and women in the world are strangely and strikingly similar in both ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.The scene described in "Yu Linling" by Liu Yong, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty: "At the place where Fang is nostalgic, Lan Zhou urged him to hold his hands and looked at his tears, and he was speechless!" Today, it reappeared at the pier in Yokohama, Japan.Yang Du and Qian Huizi looked at each other, as if they had forgotten the reality that Hai Tianzaki Maru was urging.

The servant brought out a pot of tea and two teacups from a nearby teahouse, and poured a cup for each of the guest and his lady. After taking a sip of tea, Yang Du's mood calmed down.He spoke first: "I have been in Japan for more than four years, and I have met hundreds of Japanese friends. Only you will remain in my memory with the most beautiful image throughout my life, and I am haunted by it. I love you the most. I miss you the most, that's why I don't tell you the date of departure, I plan to write down my thoughts of you on board and write you a long letter. Chieko, I beg you to understand me."

Qian Huizi was originally a cheerful and strong girl, after a few days of painful and calm thinking, she has completely understood Yang Du, and the complicated emotions when meeting her are much calmer now. "Mr. Xizi, I fell in love with you secretly on the day I enjoyed the cherry blossoms with you in Hakone more than three years ago. When our Tengyuan family lost a thousand-year-old sword, it magically came back through your hands. At that time, I believed that you were specially given to me by God; even if I knew that you had a wife in China, I firmly believed that we would be married. But then I slowly felt that my thoughts would come to nothing because of you My heart is always thinking about China, and the interests of the Tengyuan family do not allow me to go with you to China. That day, when I saw the kimono I carefully selected for you, and you took it off after just trying it on, this kind of The feeling of loss is even stronger, but I still want to go to Tokyo when I have time and spend a day and a half with you. I respect you as a teacher, and the love for you deep in my heart will never fade away. I hope for a miracle. Of course, My hopes were completely dashed."

Like the iron that has been tempered, Qian Huizi is stronger than before after experiencing the great emotional pain test. She narrates the secrets in her heart so calmly and so frankly that Yang Du is very surprised. "Grandfather enlightened me, saying that our ancestor Kazuo Tengyuan went to study in the Tang Dynasty, and Ren Chang'an City was full of rich and beautiful women. He was not tempted by the old man, he only cared about the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and only missed his motherland and relatives. Therefore, his old man has been respected by the Tengyuan family from generation to generation. According to his grandfather, Yang Jun is also a man like Tengyuan. Beauty, wealth, status, and the pursuit of these secular people cannot shake his desire to return to China to serve , this is Yang Jun's excellence and value, you should be happy and proud of it. What my grandfather said is very reasonable, I figured it out, and I will happily send you back to China. One hour I received a letter from my grandfather a while ago, knowing that you were leaving Yokohama this morning, so I rushed here in a hurry. God bless, I finally saw you!"

Qian Huizi's words stirred up Yang Du's mood that had just calmed down.He really wanted to rush over, hold her in his arms, kiss her, and tell her his love for her and his motherland. He even hoped to be reborn in Japan in the next life, to be a beautiful boy of the Yamato nation, and to be with her again. The woman's Chieko held a grand wedding in the season of blooming cherry blossoms, loving each other and growing old together!But Yang Du's body didn't move, his mouth was trembling, and it took a long time before he said a word: "Qian Huizi, I sincerely thank you!" Qian Huizi picked up a strip bag wrapped in brocade beside her, opened the brocade, and inside was a resplendent and resplendent carp-shaped box.She handed the box over with both hands and said, "This is a small gift from my grandfather on behalf of the Tengyuan family." In Japan, carp is a symbol of auspiciousness.On festive days, many families hang carp-shaped cloth or paper cages high above the door. The wind blows in and fills up the cages, swinging from side to side, just like a real carp playing in the air.Gifts for others, such as cakes, toys, etc., are also like to be made in the shape of a carp, which contains the gift giver's blessing.Knowing what Mr. Teng Yuan wanted, Yang Du took it with both hands respectfully. "Please press the eyes of the fish and open the box." According to what Qian Huizi said, Yang Du pressed the two golden eyeballs of the carp with his hands, and the box opened from the belly of the fish, and there was a waist knife lying flat inside.The sun shone on the waist knife, the blade shone with a blinding white light, and the handle shone with a faint blue light.Yang Du immediately remembered the waist knife he gave back to Teng Yuan's family, startled, and said: "This waist knife belongs to your family, how can you return it to me?" "No." Qian Huizi shook her head lightly, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Yang Du could see that the smile was still Qi Qi's, not the colorful one in the past. "Grandfather said that although Yang Jun was a literati, he was born in the general family. When he came to Japan to study, he still did not forget to carry his waist knife with him, which shows that he did not forget the true nature of his family tradition. Now that the waist knife has been returned to us, we must not let him go back to see his family empty-handed. So my grandfather asked someone to make another one exactly like the original waist knife, and put seven gems on the handle." Yang Du looked down at the handle of the knife, and sure enough, seven gemstones were placed on it according to the pattern of the Big Dipper. "These seven sapphires were brought back by my grandfather in Mumbai, India when he was young. My grandfather had been doing business in Mumbai for three years and accumulated ten gold bars. When he returned to China, he considered that ten gold bars would attract attention, so he replaced them with twelve. The sapphires were hidden in the cotton-padded clothes and brought back to Japan safely. My grandfather said that these twelve sapphires can be exchanged for at least fifty gold bars now, and I picked seven of them to be embedded in the handle of the knife and gave them to Yang Jun. Can come in handy." In an instant, the waist knife became extremely heavy in Yang Du's hand.He felt ashamed of receiving such an expensive gift, so he raised the box above his head with both hands, and then moved towards Qian Huizi, saying: "I only accept the Tengyuan family's wishes, but I cannot accept this gift." Qian Huizi stared at the box, sighed and said, "If you don't accept this waist knife because the seven sapphires are worth twenty or thirty gold bars, don't you think money is too important? Even the property of the Yuan family can't shake your heart, so what is this mere twenty or thirty gold bars? It's just a way for my grandfather to show his heart!" After hearing this sentence, Yang Du felt very ashamed, and lowered his raised hands unconsciously: "You are right, I shouldn't have betrayed the old man's heart. Well, I accept it." At this time, Yang Du remembered the gift he was going to give, quickly picked up the paper tube beside him, and handed it over with both hands: "This is the "Song of Hunan Youth" that usually hangs in the apartment in Tokyo, you like it. Before I met you just now, I was planning to ask Mr. Liang Qichao to forward it to you, and now I will give it to you with my own hands. From now on, I hope you see it as you see me." Qian Huizi pursed her slightly loosened lips tightly again, took "Song of Hunan Youth" without a word, picked up the brocade that had originally wrapped the carp box, and slowly wrapped it up.She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "The waist knife was given to you by my grandfather just now. I didn't prepare a gift for you in a hurry. I accompanied Mr. Sun Yat-sen to visit you that day, and you sang it to me." An ancient Chinese Yuefu, I will keep it in my heart. Now I will sing it to you again, I don’t know if I can sing it accurately, so let me express my heart!" After Chieko finished speaking, she hummed softly: This ancient Chinese Yuefu, at this moment, this scene and this situation, is sung from the mouth of a delicate woman in Japan. Although the tone is not accurate, the melody is extremely sad, just like the thunder in winter, the snow in summer, and the snow The sky is shaking, the soul is soul-stirring.Qian Huizi sang it over and over again, like the three folds of Yangguan, like the ninefold sorrow of autumn, Yang Du's internal organs were tumbling, and the tears could no longer be controlled, and the clothes and the tatami around his knees were wet.In the blurred eyes of tears, the beautiful Chieko and the beautiful cherry tree gradually overlapped, and it was no longer clear which was Chieko and which was the cherry tree...
