Bathing and changing clothes, carefully tying his hair, Lin Hai draped a feather weave on his body and walked out of the locker room.

Kyoko shouted from the women's locker room next door.

Lin Hai waited in the corridor for a while, and Kyoko Fukada walked out of the women's locker room.

Kyoko was dressed in a blue background with flowers and small sleeves, her hair was carefully tied up, and she was paired with a flower whose name she didn't know what it was, and her face was re-put on light makeup, looking beautiful and bright.

"How's that, is it pretty?" Kyoko asked Lin Hai with a red face.

Lin Hai was in a trance for a moment, and waited until Kyoko asked for the second time, then nodded and replied, "It's good-looking." ”

"Isn't it for me?"

"No, it's perfect for you. ”

What else can be said?

At this point, there is only one option to praise.

In all fairness, although she was amazed by Kyoko's kimono appearance, Lin Hai still felt that the kimono was not suitable for her.

No way, her breasts are too big.

Lin Hai squinted at Kyoko's chest, thinking that it was really an impossible task to press the steamed buns into dead dough cakes.

The waitress next to her carefully concealed the envy, jealousy and hatred in her eyes, and said softly, "Please come with me, two of you." ”

Following the waitress to a tearoom, the waitress knocked on the door, made a sound, and knelt on the ground to open the door.

Lin Hai and Kyoko nodded to the tearoom, and then entered it, and after the formal salute, they knelt down and sat down.

There were originally three people in the house, and all but one of the hostesses were men.

In the center is a middle-aged man of some age, and next to him is Ichikawa Somegoro, whom he has seen before.

Ichikawa Somegoro introduced: "This is my father, Koshiro Matsumoto. ”

……

Doesn't that sound strange?

How did Ichikawa's father come to have the surname Matsumoto?

Let's explain it in a way that is not very accurate but easy enough to understand.

To put it simply, Kabuki in Japan is a "family workshop" with its own "brand". For example, the two in front of me are from the "Matsumoto-ryu family", and the brand name is "Koryoya". Kabuki actors, on the other hand, are equivalent to several products in the workshop, whether it is Koshiro Matsumoto or Somegoro Ichikawa, they are actually trade names, which can be understood as "Ichikawa small manju" or "Matsumoto big bun".

Of course, the name is not given casually, but is inherited from the elders, which is the so-called "name".

At the same time, the name of a kabuki actor is not set in stone, and a kabuki actor may change several names in his life, such as Koshiro Matsumoto, who evolved from "small steamed buns" to "big buns", and his exact title should be Koshiro Matsumoto Koshiro Kudaimu.

And his son is the seventh generation of Ichikawa Somegoro.

……

For Chinese people, whether it is a small steamed bun or a big bun (just for ease of understanding, not disrespectful), it sounds strange, but the daughter of the big bun, anyone who has watched Japanese dramas should know it.

Her stage name is Takako Matsu.

Takako Matsu is one of the hottest actresses in Japan at the moment, and she co-starred with Takuya Kimura in "Love Century" last year, which broke the Japanese ratings record in one fell swoop, becoming another love classic after "East Love" and "Long Vacation". Takako Matsu and Takuya Kimura have also become the most classic on-screen couple in the history of Japanese dramas.

And this year, "April Story", supervised by the famous director Shunji Iwai and starring Takako Matsu, was released nationwide in Japan, and this film, which is known as a prose poem, shows the pure and beautiful side of Matsuko to the fullest, and Matsuko is also named the "National Jade Girl".

It is worth mentioning that it is the two in front of you who play Takako Matsu's father and brother in "April Story".

……

After the name was called, the big buns and small steamed buns were not in a hurry to speak, and the atmosphere in the tea room was a little dignified.

The tattooed feather hakama worn by the two of them added to this atmosphere.

Kyoko Fukada felt restless, hung her head and waited for a while, she couldn't help it, so she looked up and said, "May I ask ......?"

"Not bad. ”

Big Bun suddenly spoke.

He nodded in satisfaction and said to Kyoko, "I'll just say it straight." I invite you here today to find out if you have any plans to get married?"

"Knot, get married?!"

Kyoko Fukada was stunned.

Da Baozi said blindly: "That's right." The son of a good friend of mine has never been married, and if you don't object, I'd like to arrange for you to meet. ”

"Wait!" Kyoko Fukada hurriedly said, "I'm only sixteen years old this year, it's too exaggerated to get married or something, and I don't even know who the other party is......"

"You must have heard of the other party, his name is Ichikawa Hai Laozo. ”

It's him!

Kyoko and Lin Hai were stunned.

The eleventh generation of Ichikawa Ebizo (hereinafter referred to as Ebizo) is the heir of the Ichikawa clan "Naritaya" and the number one genius of the younger generation in the kabuki world. For the past 200 years, the head of Naritaya has long occupied the "throne of the alliance" in the Kabuki world.

In other words, Ebizo is the next "Dancing Forest Alliance".

The words of the big bun continue.

"As for age, sixteen is already the legal age for marriage, and of course, considering that you still need to undergo bridal practice, the wedding will be set for next year......" (the minimum age for marriage for women at that time was 16, which was later changed to 18 in 2018). ）

Big Bunzi said to herself, seemingly not worried that Kyoko would refuse.

He does have such confidence.

In Japan, there is hardly a woman who does not marry a Kabuki actor if she asks to marry.

This is a veritable step to the top.

……

The Japanese Kabuki family, known as the "cultural wealthy", not only has a good income, but also a high status.

Here's an example.

In the original history, when Ebizo got married, more than 1,000 people, including former Prime Minister Koizumi, from the entertainment industry and financial circles came to congratulate him, and the wedding cost was as high as 500 million yen, and the carpet in the center of the venue alone was 70 meters long......

The wealth and connections of the Kabuki family can be seen from this.

Da Baozi didn't think that Kyoko would refuse, and was still talking about the precautions of being a "wife of the pear garden", and at this moment, Kyoko spoke.

Kyoko saluted the big bun, then straightened her waist, shook her head and said: "Thank you for your attention, the little girl is really honored, but I have no intention of marrying into a wealthy family, so I can only say sorry, and please bear with me......."

After Kyoko's words were spoken, the three men in the room were stunned.

The big buns and small steamed buns couldn't believe that anyone would refuse such a pie-in-the-sky good thing, but Lin Hai couldn't imagine that Kyoko could say it so dignified and decent.

……

"It's unbelievable that you could say something like that?"

Coming out of the teahouse, Lin Hai asked Kyoko with a glare.

"Huh?" Kyoko turned back into a goofy state.

Lin Hai learned what she just said, but unfortunately he didn't learn it like that.

Kyoko smiled and said, "What's so strange about this, isn't it all like this in period dramas?"

Well, I almost forgot that she was still an actress.

Lin Hai jokingly asked, "Don't you regret it?"

Kyoko asked rhetorically, "Why regret it?"

"Wife of Liyuan. How many women dream of a job, you refuse without even thinking about it. ”

"I've thought about it. Kyoko said, "You also said that it was 'work', but I heard that marrying a Kabuki actor is very hard. ”

"That's right. Lin Hai nodded in agreement.

……

Being a wife in a pear orchard is not as good as imagined.

Rien, which is often used in Japan to refer to the Kabuki world, is the wife of a Kabuki actor.

Liyuan's wife is not a full-time wife, but more like a life assistant and private secretary, the kind who is on call 24 hours a day. As a wife in Rishien, you have to learn the curriculum and various rules, you need to learn calligraphy, etiquette, tea ceremony, tea ceremony, kado, flower arrangement, cooking, etc., you need to learn about the history, traditions, and large number of works of Kabuki, you need to help your husband prepare clothes, arrange the itinerary, organize materials, and so on.

In addition, as the wife of Liyuan, you can't be too high-profile, and you should try to avoid showing up in public. And when the husband makes a mistake or even cheats, he needs to take the initiative to help his husband resolve the crisis and take the initiative to apologize to the outside world.

For example, Ebizo's wife, after her husband had a fight, even when she was about to give birth, she still had to embark on a journey of apology with her mother-in-law, and apologized to her husband's supporters from door to door.

Of course, none of the above is the most important.

It is important to have sons, give birth to sons, give birth to sons!

As mentioned earlier, Kabuki is a family inheritance (and it is passed on to men and not women), so in order to ensure that the inheritance continues, the first task of Riyuan's wife is to have a son.

What if you say you can't give birth?

If you encounter a reliable person, you will choose to adopt it - if an outsider wants to become a kabuki actor, there is only one way to choose to be a son, and if you encounter an unreliable person, you will have to turn a blind eye to her husband's unruly behavior.

You can't make trouble, don't think about divorce, is it really so easy to get into the pear orchard?

……

"I don't understand why they're looking for me?"

Kyoko Fukada was confused.

"I know why. Lin Hai smiled: "I secretly asked Mr. Ichikawa just now, guess what he said?"

"What did he say?" Kyoko's curiosity was piqued.

"He said, his father has watched your TV series and thinks you're 'good at parenting', so he plans to introduce you to Ebizo. ”

Kyoko's face turned red.

Lin Hai admired the girl's shyness, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Naritaya and Koryaya are relatives, and if you have to say it, the former is a clan family, and the latter is a separate family. Perhaps it is precisely because of this relationship that the big bun will shave his head and pick a hot draft girl for the younger generation.

Fortunately, this is just the wishful thinking of the big buns, if it is the intention of Ebizo himself, I am afraid that this matter will not end well.

The man...... It's not easy to get along.

Kyoko didn't know that she had just swayed from the edge of the cliff, she threw her shyness behind her in a blink of an eye, pulled Lin Hai with one hand, pointed to a barbecue stall not far away with the other, and asked expectantly: "Hai, shall we go and eat charcoal grilled Hamasaki Ayuki?"
