443. Triple Den Ke
There are four happy events in life - a long drought and nectar, and a foreign country. The cave room spends candle night, when the gold list is inscribed.
According to my understanding, the importance of the four joyous events in life increases in order, and the lower the text, the more important it is to a person.
There is only one exception to this, and that is the third thing referred to – marriage.
Marriage is also known as the life of the little Dengke, as the so-called "newlyweds are better than small Dengke, wearing red and flowers, like the champion Lang"! To put it simply, marriage is a simplified version of the title of the gold list, and its importance is self-evident.
For any country, any era, and any group in the world, marriage is a major event that cannot be ignored. Some people say that they marry once and work for 20 years, and some people say that a good marriage is the beginning and foundation of success in life.
Although the perspectives and values are different, the degree of importance implied is equally important.
Now, I have reached this important point in my life, but the situation I am facing is a little special and a little more complicated......
During the feudal dynasties, including the Ming Dynasty, formal marriages required Ming media to marry. This is the basic requirement of feudal etiquette and religion, and it is also the most basic demand of parents.
It stands to reason that Hua Mei and I originally belonged to the Ming Media and were married, if we hadn't been forced to leave at the beginning, I am afraid that now we have been married for many years and our children can play soy sauce.
But the thing in this world is that there is no coincidence that there is no book, and I will get married after the end of the war, but before the war ends, my backer has fallen, and I am always facing the danger of liquidation, so I have to leave Daming as soon as possible and drift overseas.
Since then, there have been a lot of things, because of all kinds of misunderstandings and encounters, I had to add the names of Kite and Lan to my marriage list, and this is not surprising in feudal law, and Hua Mei also accepted it.
But when it comes to the steps of marriage, there are three biggest problems that we really face:
First, the Li family is famous and famous. The daughter marries the descendants of the former Shoufu can be said to be a good match, if she marries with the other two, it seems that her status is low, and her father-in-law Li Zaixing is not good-looking here, so you must not blow and blow, lively and lively work, you must quietly enter the village, do not shoot.
Second, since ancient times, intermarriage has not been allowed, which is not an explicit rule. It is precisely because of this that the special classic stories of Yang Zongbao and Mu Guiying have been sung for thousands of years. But I'm not Yang Zongbao, and Hua Mei is not Mu Guiying. If we follow the routine, I am afraid that there will be far more people behind the cannon than blessings, and the unfortunate suffering is only for now!
Third, the quasi-father-in-law Li Zaixing has little time, and it is still unknown when this war will end, if I blindly delay, I am afraid that when I am successful and retired, the old man of the father-in-law is gone, let him regret the end, Hua Mei is afraid that he will complain about me for the rest of his life.
After thinking about it comprehensively, after thinking about it, I had no choice but to have a plan to secretly get married first according to Western etiquette.
Li Zaixing's father-in-law had allowed the situation that there were other people besides Hua Mei before, he was a reasonable person, and he also knew the indescribable grievances and entanglements between me and Hua Mei over the years, and he also knew what a huge sacrifice Kite and Lan had paid for me!
So what surprised me was that after learning that Kite and Lan had no father or mother, Li Zaixing was willing to accept the second daughter as his righteous daughter first, and then marry all three daughters to me by marrying a daughter, which can be regarded as giving Kite and Lan a maiden home.
This change made the two guys Kite and Lan excited, tears in their eyes, and kneeling beside Li Zaixing's lap was a big cry.
Since they were children, they have grown up in the team of Iga ninjas, where there is no family, no love, no feelings, everyone, whether male or female, is the instrument of the Lord, let them live and let them die, how can they have such a warm experience?
For ninjas, affection is the most unattainable thing, and some ninjas spend their entire lives unable to carve a single weak symbol in the hearts of others. All they have is the cold numerical records of "how many people died in battle", "how many people were wounded and retired", or "how many committed suicide after being captured" in the war report, and nothing else is too far away to be hoped for.
Now, Kite and Lan not only have a husband's family, but also a mother's family, sisters, and fathers, this is simply a happy serial crit! No wonder the two of them knelt down at Li Zaixing's knees in a gaffe and bowed to their father-in-law with the courtesy of their father.
The wedding took place in secret, in the Li family's courtyard.
The people who participated in the wedding were extremely simple, except for Li Zaixing and two close relatives, the rest were the core backbone of our fleet, and the purity of the personnel group was extremely high, so I didn't worry about the risk of leaking secrets.
As the officiating pastor, Yokoyama Ikuhashi is obviously extremely excited, this is not the first time he has officiated at a wedding, but it is the first time he has officiated a wedding for a big person. As a Chinese-American, he knows very well what it means to have a secret wedding at this level.
So before the wedding, he swore allegiance to me, so that after the wedding, we would not choose the option of cutting the grass for fear of leaks......
The wedding is simple and sacred, Li Zaixing, as a military and political official, naturally knows the basic situation of the Catholic Church that is widely circulated overseas, in his opinion, although these are foreigners' things, but they also belong to the orthodox family, according to this etiquette, the hasty wedding can indeed be regarded as an emergency measure when it is a last resort.
Yokoyama had apparently done his homework before, because even though it was in the 16th century, before the civilized world, it was not common to marry three people at once. Moreover, in the doctrine of the Catholic Church, polygamy is not allowed, although it is a reality, and such marriages are contrary to God's original intention of "therefore leaving his father and mother to be united to his wife, and the two become one flesh", so there is no priestly vow to administer multiple marriages.
So at his suggestion, the wedding was divided into three sessions – one for one girl, to put it simply. So in just one morning, I became a groom three times, and Li Zaixing also became a father-in-law three times.
The procedure for a wedding is the same, but what happens is different. As a wife, everything seems dignified and sacred, elegant and harmonious.
When it was time for Kite, she offered to say that she couldn't be my wife, and she was willing to accept the fact that Hua Mei was my wife. This surprised me, Li Zaixing, and Yokoyama Shengqiao, after all, it is really rare to surrender one's identity.
But Li Zaixing and I tacitly agreed, this is the kite's feedback to his father-in-law's kindness - a father, how can there be a reason not to feel sorry for his daughter, although he accepted the two as daughters, but he essentially hopes that his biological daughter can be more smooth and harmonious after marriage, don't we still understand his mind?
After hearing the kite's request, he was stunned for a moment, and seeing that Li Zaixing and I did not object, he added a sentence to the standard oath, "God will approve your virtues", and then turned the page away, as if nothing had happened......
Arashi cried, she laughed and cried. Perhaps in her opinion, when she left with the kite, there was no possibility of going back. But who knew that everything happened like this, as if in a dream, so she cried and made a statement, and made the same choice as the kite.
As the central figure of the incident, my heart is also a hundred feelings transaction, if life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind sad fan. Everything in front of us seems to be accidental, but in fact, how much inevitability is implied in it, who can say clearly?
It stands to reason that today is a day of great joy, but for some reason I feel sighing and melancholy from the bottom of my heart. What is it for? I don't know, I can't see clearly, I can't guess, I can't figure it out.
Maybe marrying the three of them wasn't my original intention.
In my heart, I still prefer the life of "I wish to have one heart and no one else" mentioned in the poem, but the reality is like this, these mistakes make me unable to live up to any of them.
The only thing to be thankful for is that in the current etiquette, such a form of marriage is not out of line, which is also the fundamental reason why Li Zaixing can agree.
The wedding is over, who would have thought, but then I encountered the most difficult problem in my life - Sanlian Xiao Dengke is certainly the envy of everyone, but how to carry out this cave room candle night?
It's a bit unclear, especially in this era, but in what form is the most appropriate?
Standing at the door of the independent courtyard, I was in trouble for a while.
Walk left, go right, go forward, it's like a multiple-choice question, but I think it's a true/false question, and behind each option there is a strong murderous atmosphere!
Just when I was in trouble, several maids came out of the courtyard, walked up to me in confusion, saluted separately, and said words that left me speechless!
"Auntie, the lady said, the second mother and the third mother have been adrift for many years, and they should accompany them more on the night of candles in this cave room. The lady has already rested, so let you rest early! This is Hua Mei's personal maid words, after saying a blessing, she went straight to the money.
I was sluggish, but the female shinobu who was a maid on the side of Kite and Lan said one after another, Kite and Lan both said that the cave room spent candle nights, and they naturally wanted to find a wife, and they all rested, wishing me a good night......
I'm going to rub it! I've been around for a long time, and I'm nowhere to go, or what? Do you dislike me or what? Is this a rebellion or something?
Seeing a few people go away, I was so angry!
I was angry for a while alone in the wind, and it was really okay to think about it, wouldn't it be more embarrassing to run in and be kicked out? Forget it, sir, I'll go back to the front hall and sleep! Who made me three times a little Dengke and what others couldn't do?
Compared to others, we're still happy, aren't we?
Compared to others, we're still, aren't we?
Compared to others, we're still outstanding, aren't we?
In this way, comforting myself, I walked back to the study of the other courtyard, ready to read books, practice martial arts and go to sleep.
Who knew that at this moment, the Nine Ghosts Masataka suddenly came to the study and found me, saying that the Ministry of War had sent a document, and I immediately went to the Ministry to discuss the major matter of entering the army!
Okay, do you know that my cave room has a candle night or something? Go and go, you should know that you will come, and you can't hide from it. What's more, I came back thousands of miles just for this matter, and when the matter comes, how can I retreat?
Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate, walked to the wall and took off the boy who hung on the wall, changed into a wedding dress, put on a second-grade court dress, walked out of the courtyard quickly, boarded the horse, and went away in the dust surrounded by the nine ghosts, Zhengxiao and others!
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Hua Mei, Kite and Lan all walked out of the house, looking at the smoke and dust that was gradually moving away outside the main gate, and they all had a faint premonition in their hearts......
