The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

The words fell.

Mori Ogai's hand holding the pen froze slightly.

He raised his head and saw Bai Gui rushing into the crowd. His eyes were slightly probing and doubtful. He suddenly recalled the short, urgent voice that had just entered his ears, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

Is this the author of this novel?

When I saw this name, I thought she was a Yamato Nadeshiko-style woman, quiet, reserved, gentle and considerate, but why is this person in front of me... a strong and powerful young man? !

Bai Gui's well-proportioned muscles were slightly bulging, and his fit-fitting black pleated uniform was a little tight. Standing there, he looked quite imposing, with bright eyes.

He is also taller among his peers, which is not noticeable in Qin Province, but when he squeezes in, compared with the crowd of people watching, he suddenly stands out.

Mori Ogai and Futeye Ting Shishu looked at each other.

"You...are you Bai Meihe?"

"Is it really Bai Meihe?"

Both of them spoke with a somewhat unconfident voice, with some vibrato.

Ryuko Tanabe's appearance is also wonderful. The pink light from the crystal pendant chandelier reflects on her face, which should make her blush. After all, it was a big joke, so I'm sorry.

"My surname is Bai Minggui, and my courtesy name is Meihe. Meihe is the name my husband chose for me. It comes from the Analects of Confucius..."

Bai Gui handed over his hand.

What was spoken at this time was Chinese.

The great writers and literary giants in front of him have all studied Zhu Xi's studies, so they understand Chinese, and he doesn't have to worry about how many people can't understand.

Although he could retreat silently this time and wait for today's literary club friendship review to be published in the newspaper before revealing his identity, doing so would make him appear to be too calculating.

Another thing worth worrying about is that there are many students from the first grade of high school in this literary club gathering, and someone must know his name Bai Meihe. Now a few literary giants are commenting, so most people are confused and don't know who they are talking about. Even if they hear a name, they are not sure, but in the next part of everyone reading..., it is definitely will be exposed.

Rather than being passive, it is better to step forward yourself!

"When it comes to etiquette, harmony is the most precious thing. The way of the ancient kings is the most beautiful thing."

"This is a good name."

Mori Ogai frowned slightly, not expecting that this was a joke caused by Chinese and Japanese customs. However, with this explanation, he soon understood and smiled at Bai Gui, "You are a Japanese student sent from the Qing Dynasty, right? The article is well written and highly recommended.”

He erased part of the review he just wrote, but still gave it a high evaluation.

Since it has been decided that this is the most recommended novel in the field, changing it will inevitably affect their reputation...

Some things can be agreed upon secretly, but once they are made public, there can be no regrets.

Besides, this novel is also above the standard.

Highly recommended!

It’s not a big deal!

However, if it hadn’t been for this wonderful misunderstanding, the pearl might have fallen into the dust. Although the work is good, sometimes the quality of the work is not necessarily the only thing that determines the work...

"Yes, I am an official student this year, and I am in Class 1A of No.1 High School. I am from Chang'an. I once studied at the academy in Wangchuan, Zishui County, and then came to Japan..."

Bai Gui replied.

"Wangchuan? That's where layman Mojie lives in seclusion."

Mori Ogai nodded,

The layman Mojie was Wang Wei. Wang Wei was a poet and Buddha, and his influence in Japan was very great. Although not as influential as Bai Juyi, anyone who has studied Tang poetry will know Wang Wei's reputation, especially in some monasteries, where Wang Wei wrote many poems.

"I would recommend this novel to Asahi Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun..."

Mori Ogai is keen on writing Chinese poetry, which is well known in the industry. Bai Gui mentioned Wang Wei, which also made him feel much better. Although this is not a novel written by Japanese people, and it is a bit disappointing, a few words and a few recommendations can also show his open-mindedness and generosity.

"I will also recommend it to the newspaper."

Eryeting Sishu also replied.

"Sorry, I misunderstood Mr. Bai as a woman. It was my fault."

Tanabe Ryuko bowed to Bai Gui and apologized.

Logically speaking, a fledgling author like Bai Gui would not be too apologetic even if he misunderstood. But Ryuko Tanabe is a female writer. Under the remaining feudal system, if she does not apologize, it will have a certain impact on her reputation.

Furthermore, although Bai Gui is unknown in Japan, he still has the fame of the Qing Dynasty, so he cannot be compared with ordinary people.

"I would also like to thank Tanabe-senpai for recommending me."

Bai Gui also returned the greeting.

The female student in sailor uniform who just recommended Tanabe Ryuko Hakuki's novel also came over and apologized to Hakuki.

Open-minded people will laugh it off if they recognize a dignified man as a woman, but some people will also consider it a great shame and humiliation. Otherwise, Prime Minister Zhuge wouldn't have to give Sima Yi women's clothes. However, he who does not know is not guilty. This is not a big deal, it can rise to the level of an apology, but it is not to the point of offending anyone...

For a while, it was enjoyable.

This incident is also regarded as an anecdote of countless people returning from tea.

Just a small misunderstanding.

"Mr. Bai, can you dance with me..."

Tanabe Ryuko invited.

At this time in the evening, social dancing also began.

The Westernization of Japan was more advanced than that of the Qing Dynasty. In the cultural salon of the Wu Mansion, men and women did not dare to dance together in the end. But here, there are a lot of taboos missing.

It's just that Bai Gui is basically unfamiliar with the female students present, so he didn't invite him to dance with him at first. Maybe after waiting for a while, a girl with courage and courage will come to him.

"If Tanabe-senpai is willing, I will naturally accompany you."

Bai Gui, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and put down his wine glass, looking a little surprised.

What was waiting was not a female student, but a young woman.

"How are the customs and customs in Chang'an?"

"I also want to know more about it."

Tanabe Ryuko hugged Bai Gui's waist and breathed like a blue. She pressed closer to her slightly, talking and laughing.

"If there is a chance, I can be your host in Chang'an to keep you company. Then you won't mind my poor hospitality."

Bai Gui calmly distanced himself some distance. Ryuko Tanabe is still single and unmarried. Most of the famous female writers of this era had unhappy marriages.

He really doesn't like women who behave loosely.

Yamaga Moyuki, an ancient scholar in the Edo period, believed that the foundation of Japanese ethics was the "sincerity" of Shintoism, not the "respect" of Confucianism. Therefore, Japanese people do not impose restrictions on their true inner emotions and desires, but allow them to develop naturally. For example, Shanlu Suxing said: "Sincerity is what people in the world have to do in ancient and modern times."

Therefore, in "The Tale of Genji", the protagonist Gong Genji's first extramarital affair was his father's favorite concubine. This is understandable in Japan, just like the law of sending envoys to visit the Tang Dynasty. They copied it exactly, but deleted the law that people with the same surname should not marry.

Therefore, it is extremely normal for Japanese women to behave like this, sincerely.
