The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

As for Minister Wu, ever since Bai Gui met him, he has been saying "the country's affairs are difficult". This is also true. Therefore, when he saw the pleading look on Minister Wu's face, Bai Gui couldn't help but feel a little agitated. Relented.

And he was also hesitating whether it would be cruel to reject Mitsuko Yamada so directly now.

As soon as he finished helping, he left behind.

There is something wrong.

One Yamada Mitsuko is okay, but if there are more in the future, this is how he should deal with it.

These need to be considered carefully and cannot be handled too roughly.

"This is funding!"

"Although I know that Meihe has money, please be sure to accept it..."

Before Bai Gui could react and speak, Minister Wu quickly took out his wallet from his pocket and took out some banknotes. Without counting them carefully, he immediately stuffed them into Bai Gui's hands and hurried away slowly, for fear of being ignored by Bai Gui. Gui catches up.

After collecting the money, we have to do something!

The gap between having and not having them is quite big.

Received the money,

Return to the school gate.

"What did Minister Wu whisper to you just now?"

Mitsuko Yamada glanced at Minister Wu who was walking quickly, feeling a little puzzled.

No matter how busy the embassy is, it won't be so urgent.

"I didn't say anything. I just wanted to thank me for helping Chen Zhen solve a troublesome matter this time, which made him feel a lot more relaxed. So in order to thank me, I gave him... well, 17 days of yen to let me have a nice walk around Kyoto. , assuming he will come to Yigao to help me find it."

Bai Gui looked at the bills in his hand and counted them. There were seven one-yen bills and one ten-yen bill.

Quite a lot.

His monthly rice, silver and allowances totaled almost this amount.

"I didn't expect that Minister Wu could be so considerate when he looked at such an upright person. It's your first time in Kyoto, how could you leave in such a hurry and not play for a few days..."

Yamada Mitsuko felt much happier.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat some delicious food in Kyoto. You've never tasted Mitarai dumplings in Kyoto..."

She said and hailed two rickshaws nearby.

I took him to a restaurant.

The decoration of this restaurant is very high-end and magnificent.

There are high-class people coming and going, and just looking at the materials of their clothes, some common people can't afford them with a few years' salary.

"Two Mitarai Dango."

"And two orders of herring soba..."

Yamada Mitsuko said to the waiter who was recording the menu.

"please wait for a moment."

The attendant nodded.

After a while, freshly prepared meals were served.

Mitarashi dango are actually small mochi dumplings shaped like glutinous rice balls that are strung together, three to five in a skewer, and topped with sweet soy sauce. Some shops will also add black molasses.

The source is the Mitarai Festival.

When visiting a shrine in Japan, there is a special place for worshipers to wash their hands. This place is called Mitarai. I happened to see one big bubble and four small bubbles when I was washing my hands, so I invented this thing.

In many Japanese animations of later generations, many people like this stuff.

"tasty."

Bai Gui picked up a small bunch and tasted it. It was really rich in taste when paired with sweet soy sauce.

There are three skewers in total for one serving, five per skewer.

"Yeah, I've been eating in this shop since I was a kid. It tastes really delicious..."

Mitsuko Yamada took a small bite of the dumpling.

While she was eating, she was chattering about interesting things about Kyoto, which was a popular science.

"You must go to Gion in Kyoto, but my family has always been very strict with me and won't let me go there..."

"I heard there are all kinds of fun things there..." Gu

Gion is the most prosperous place, not only geisha, but also various shops.

But as a lady, she is obviously not allowed to go there.

"I'll go shopping if I have time. I'm also very curious about it!"

Bai Gui dealt with it casually.

"Yeah!"

Yamada Mitsuko nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I'm not too embarrassed to go alone. If you accompany me, there should be nothing to worry about..."

Bai Gui was absent-minded and continued to nod.

Along the way, Mitsuko Yamada said there were many places she wanted to take him to, and she mentioned Gion a few times.

For this kind of thing, all you need is a nod.

When we left the restaurant, it was dark.

Yamada Mitsuko plans to take Bai Gui back to the Kyoto mansion.

See this.

Bai Gui quickly refused.

"You can go home by yourself. I'll just go to the hotel for one night. Going to your house will inevitably be too embarrassing. I'm not used to living there either..."

Mitsuko Yamada's mind is still a little simple, but he has experienced people for a long time and knows what will happen when he returns to her house with Mitsuko Yamada.

It’s good to keep the relationship private!

Yamada Mitsuko blushed slightly when he saw this, and thought of something.

So after sending Bai Gui to a hotel, he hurried away in a rickshaw.

…

The next day, early morning.

Nonomiya Shrine.

The torii of Nonomiya Shrine is very special. Generally, the torii of shrines are vermilion, but the torii of Nomiya Shrine is brown and black.

The shape of the torii gate is similar to the Chinese archway, but it does not have as many decorations and inlay patterns as the archway, and the meaning it represents is also different. The torii gate is the entrance to the divine realm in Japanese culture.

According to Shinto mythology, Amaterasu secretly hid in a cave because she hated her brothers. Since then, there has been no sun in the world, so some gods thought of some way to create a high stand and place all the roosters on it. Above, the roosters crowed together, and Amaterasu walked out.

This bracket is the prototype of the torii gate.

In Japan, the sun represents yin.

"Nonomiya Shrine was built for the purpose of fasting and bathing by the imperial daughter who was once sent to serve in the Ise Shrine. There are three shrines in total, worshiping the gods Amaterasu, Atago and Matsuo..."

"Going to this shrine can bless your academic progress..."

There is a bamboo forest in front of Nonomiya Shrine.

The breeze ruffles the bamboo leaves.

Yamada Mitsuko walked slowly, panting, and introduced to Bai Gui beside him.

She likes sweets, has some baby fat, and doesn't like to exercise much, so she was a little tired when she walked to Nonomiya Shrine.

Go through the torii gate.

Sure enough, there are small wooden signs for prayer hanging under the beam trees of the shrine.

Tie with red thread.

When the wind blows, there is a rustling sound.

"Don't look at it. If you look at other people's wishes, it won't work. This is the rule of the shrine. You can't look at other people's wishes randomly..."

Bai Gui wanted to take a look at the wishes made by others before leaving, but after just a few steps, she was pulled away by Yamada Mitsuko. She had a fierce look on her face, as if she would never be done with him after just one glance.

"Okay, okay, I won't watch."

As a native, Bai Gui doesn't understand the rules of a shrine, and each shrine also has its own rules. If others' wishes don't work, you will still receive a little inner condemnation.

The two went to the shrine maiden and begged for two wooden cards.

One piece is yen per day.

Bai Gui secretly thought that this money is really easy to make, but this is probably because the Nonomiya Shrine shrine maiden sees people serving food. When she sees rich people, she will naturally charge a high price, and the poor people will pay lower prices, and the rich people will not be just because of one thing. Why do you care about so many yen?
