Chapter 175: Sakura's Wedding Dress
Chapter 175: Sakura's Wedding Dress
Twenty-eight hours before the wedding, at dawn, the morning sun seemed to rise a little earlier than usual, and the sunlight penetrated the first snow under the eaves, sprinkling a rainbow light on Xiao Yi's face.
But Xiao Yi, who was dreaming, did not want to wake up, in that dream, she put on the dream wedding dress studded with Swarovski crystals and stood in front of the solemn priest, father, mother and brother sat below, mother had cried into tears, and father was also old tears dripping in his eyes, only teasing his brother with a look of "you can marry a woman".
The man standing beside him, dressed in a crisp white dress and holding a bouquet of flowers, was not a peacock who hated him, but a smiling Shen Ming.
"Wife, what's wrong? Do I have dirt on my face? Shen Ming touched his face suspiciously.
"No, it's just that you are so handsome today, you make me cry." Xiao Yi couldn't help but be excited, and laughed and cried.
"Don't cry, your makeup is going to be spent, today you are the most beautiful bride." Shen Ming gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiao Yi's eyes.
"Well, don't cry." Xiao Yi tried hard to hold back her tears, smiled at the priest and said, "Ask quickly, no matter how poor, annoying, or funny the man around me is, I am willing, willing to accompany him for the rest of my life until I am old!" ā
"It's a pity that I don't agree with this wedding." The priest's face suddenly distorted, turning into the cold face of a peacock, the clothes on his right arm were burned to ashes by the black flames, and the black unicorn roared like an airplane engine, piercing Shen Ming's chest in front of Xiao Yi, digging out the beating heart.
"Husband!" Xiao Yi screamed from the dream, and instinctively flew up and kicked straight at the peacock in front of him.
But what was supposed to be an illusory blow from a dream, Xiao Yi's instep was grabbed by a rough palm.
Xiao Yi, who had tears in her eyes, finally came to her senses, and what she saw was the chairman Hattori Musashi in a kimono sitting on the tatami mat beside him.
"The Great Demon King?!" Xiao Yi sat up in fright, she is not Sakuraku's killer, naturally she will not call Musashi Chief, she is not a slave here, and of course she will not call Musashi Lord the same as Peacock. But since we live together and don't look up and see each other, we must have a name, right? So Xiao Yi called him the "Great Demon King", of course, it was okay to call him a villain, a devil, a zombie king, and so on.
Peacock said Xiao Yi many times very tactfully, but she just didn't change, she looked like you killed me, but fortunately, the president was more easy-going, and he didn't mind this.
"Let me guess, your husband must not be calling peacocks, right?" The president grabbed Xiao Yi's instep with one hand and a folding fan with the other, and smiled kindly.
"Sneaky, sneaking into my room, do you want to attack me at night?" Xiao Yi retracted his feet, his vigilant whole body entered a state of readiness, and his right hand naturally touched the short knife hidden under the pillow, "No reason?" Seeing that you are so old, how can you still have such a murderous ability? Pills won't save you, will they? ā
"How can a girl talk so vulgarly, she should be beaten!" Musashi slapped Xiao Yi's head with a folding fan with a straight face, Xiao Yi didn't know why, obviously the old man's movements looked so slow, but when he wanted to attack, he had already finished fighting and sat back in place, feeling like a memory, or time had been stolen.
"Seeing that you have nothing to do, freshen up and accompany me, the big demon king, okay?" Musashi is an invitation, and his deep voice contains a magic that makes it impossible to say "no".
"Great Demon King, tell me to freshen up and go out to your descent? The beautiful woman is going to change her clothes and stay here and not leave, beware of seeing you have a heart attack, then I will take revenge. Xiao Yi said with a look of disdain.
"You, this mouth is invincible in the world, and I don't know who to learn from?" The Great Demon King was defeated, and he got up and left the room with a sigh.
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Yi, wearing pencil jeans, a wide-shouldered white sweater, and a single ponytail, walked out of the room with a stinky face.
"It's too slow!" Hattori Musashi angrily patted Xiao Yi's forehead with a folding fan, don't look at it so lightly, it hurts so much that Xiao Yi's head is about to crack, God knows what perverted martial arts this old guy has learned, or his folding fan is made of titanium alloy.
"Stinky old man! Don't make a head! It's going to get stupid! Xiao Yi scolded with tears in her eyes.
"It's good to be stupid, girls are too smart, and men don't have to mess around. Come with me! Hattori Musashi turned and walked forward proudly.
There is no heating installed in this damn Japanese-style castle, it can be snowing outside, more than 10 degrees below zero, and the corridor inside is only separated by a layer of glass, Xiao Yi is so cold that he stretches his arms.
"Xiao Yi, it's been almost 3 months since you came to the Sakuraku headquarters, how do you feel?" Hattori Musashi, who was walking in front, suddenly asked.
"Big, cold, empty, so rich, but still as old as before the Second Industrial Revolution, sick in the brain? Can you die with heating? Xiao Yi Chiguo Guo said.
"You, you don't know what tradition is, Sakuraku has a history of hundreds of years since it developed to today, and it has been sticking to this tradition for dozens of generations. In this world, there are many people like us who are nostalgic for the past, but the modern era is too impetuous, and the society is mercenary, and the discipline has long been lost. Perhaps only the era of dreams in the past is what we are pursuing. Hattori Musashi taught tirelessly.
"Your dreams are nothing more than guiltless killings, not to mention missionary exaltation. I despise you killers the most, with dirty hands, black hearts, and unpumped mouths. "Xiao Yi is not afraid of heaven and earth, it is estimated that she is the only one who dares to talk to Hattori Musashi like this in the Sakuraku headquarters.
"Stinky girl, no morality, I'm old, did you sleep in the "Thought and Morality" class when you were a child?" When Musashi taught Xiao Yi a lesson, the smile on his face never retracted.
Hattori Musashi is a peerless master who can hide secrets for decades without revealing a single thing, but he can't hide his love for Xiao Yi at all. This is not a lewd sunset love, but more like a kind of family-like warmth.
"Great Demon King, can you not do this? I'm a prisoner, can't you be more professional? For example, hanging or something, I just built yƬ, I didn't want you to really do this, but you are a peacock or a peacock, you are a strong and weak chicken heart against the sky, which is really unbearable! Xiao Yi was so depressed that she was about to vomit blood.
"Actually, you're very similar to my lily." Musashi sighed softly, the lily in his mouth was Shen Wan'er and Shen Ming's mother...... His only beloved daughter, "will always speak to me with a thorny word, no one is afraid, no one is convinced." For this, I once broke her ribs when she was 6 years old, but Xiao Nizi gritted her teeth and cried, and never snorted.
I used to hate her unruly look, but now ...... But I like the arrogance of you and me so much......"
"This is probably the so-called cheapness, right?" Xiao Yi didn't miss any opportunity to hit this old man.
"Probably cheap, right?" This time, Musashi readily admitted it.
While speaking, Musashi took Xiao Yi to a corridor in the backyard that strictly forbade outsiders to step into, the so-called outsiders, not only Xiao Yi, but even the peacocks, and even Sakuraku's general staff were not allowed to enter.
But Musashi beckoned to Xiao Yi and led her into the forbidden corridor, towards the innermost room.
"You're about to get married, I have prepared a gift for you, whether you like it or not, you must accept it, the old man's heart, if you waste it, you will be damned." Musashi deliberately said it scary, and casually opened the lattice door of the room, showing an ancient boudoir of a Japanese woman.
The tidy-up here is exceptionally clean, the knick-knacks on the dresser are spotless, and the folded quilt feels like the owner of the room has just gotten up and left.
"What is this?" Xiao Yi said curiously.
"My daughter, Hattori Yuri's room, remember to take off your shoes, or I'll really kill you." Musashi kindly reminded him, stepped inside, closed his eyes and stirred the air in the room with the folding fan in his hand, as if he could still smell the breath of his daughter's life.
"Why did you bring me here?" Xiao Yi was confused.
"Lily's mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and although I am not a long-term lover, my wife has been kind to me and made me vow not to marry again for the rest of my life, so I have no other children under my knees except Lily's daughter.
Sakura's position as the head of the family, passing on the male but not the female, this is the ancestral teaching, so since Yuri was born, I have always dreamed of marrying her to the best man, taking over the position of my Sakuraku president, and carrying forward the blood of the Hattori family, the legend of Sakuraku.
But just like I was born with eight characters, this daughter never obeyed discipline, was full of disgust for murder, and even called me 'the big devil' like you, the more I suppressed, the more she resisted, and even ran away from home in the end, living alone in the city under the mountain.
I also can't do anything about her, doting makes me feel that she will understand my hard work one day. So I didn't let Sakuraku's killer affect her life, and even found him an ordinary bodyguard in the mortal world to protect her......
Who would have thought...... It will end up like this. Musashi's voice trembled when he briefly narrated, and the pain in the heart of this old man could not be understood by Xiao Yi, who had never given birth to a child.
He slowly walked over to a white curtain, "Okay, don't tell those unpleasant stories, this is the gift I am going to give you!" ā
Musashi lifted the curtain and revealed an extremely gorgeous white kimono full of falling cherry blossom petals drawn with gold wire crochet, which was extremely beautiful!
"So beautiful......" Even Xiao Yi, a girl who naturally hates kimonos, can't help but be impressed by its beauty.
"This was originally the wedding dress I prepared for Lily's wedding, but now I don't think I need it anymore. Thank you for making me feel my daughter coming back to me in the past few months, and this is a gift for you. Musashi smiled with relief.
"I don't understand...... Xiao Yi stepped forward, stroked the kimono and wondered, "If you love her so much, why do you want to kill her?" ā
"Because before I became a father, I was President Sakuraku. It is my duty to protect the dignity of our organization and to preserve our traditions. As Musashi explained, the folding fan in his hand was clenched by him.
"I met an old man who is very similar to you not long ago, he also guards his own tradition, and even harms his children and grandchildren for the sake of the villagers, but in the end, he watched his child commit suicide in front of him, until the end he realized that in fact, what he has been insisting on is just a false thing that he thinks is important, and only the lingering pain in his heart is the most real."
"I'm different from the old man you said...... Because I'm strong enough. Strong enough to overcome even grief. ā
"Really?" Xiao Yi was even more puzzled.
