Chapter 153: Li Xiao's wedding

Li Xiao and Yumi Kohata's wedding was held in Koiwatake Castle on a sunny day when the snow had stopped.

Yumi Kohata said that she was wearing a pure white silk Wu suit, which was very moving, and white symbolized pure whiteness in this book.

According to tradition, the bride wears a cotton hat called "Jiaoyin" to cover her hair in a bun, which means "to cover the edges and corners", because the temper may be angular before marriage, and after marriage, she must be restrained and become a docile and good wife and mother. At the same time, the bride's face must be painted snow-white with fat powder, and she wears a white hijab and veil.

However, Li Xiao didn't think that there should be so much red tape, so he avoided it.

According to the modern view, a wedding is a ceremony to tell someone that two people are together, and the most important thing is who they are with.

The marriage tradition is a perfect match, which is even more serious than in China.

In the Ming Dynasty of the same era, ministers were afraid that their relatives would abuse power, so the queens married by the emperor were not the children of the ministers, and their status was noble.

For example, Emperor Wanli of Mingshenzong and his mother were palace maids. And the crown prince Zhu Changluo is also a girl from Wanli Linxing Palace.

On the other hand, my pursuit of bloodline has reached an ultimate level.

Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogun of the shogunate, married his daughter Kazuko to the emperor as empress. At that time, the Tokugawa family was already a member of the world, and it stands to reason that their actual status was higher than that of the Emperor.

But despite this, the emperor was still complaining, and later the empress gave birth to a son and died for no reason, and there was a theory at the time that the ministers were afraid that the lowly blood of the Tokugawa family would defile the imperial family, and then poisoned the prince to death.

It was not until modern times that the Emperor of the World, known as the first line of the world, lost his fertility due to the marriage of close relatives all the year round, so he made an exception to allow the crown prince to marry a commoner woman.

This concept of blood kinship, from the top to the bottom, the ministers, samurai and commoners each had their own class gap, and it was completely rebellious at the time to want to marry across the class.

And in the samurai class, there are also high and low bloodlines, and the new samurai Kinoshita Toyoshiro of the Oda family married Ning Ning the year before last, which can be called free love across the ages at that time.

The price is that Ning Ning broke off relations with her adoptive father, Asano Nagakatsu.

And the marriage between Li Xiao and Yumi Kohata was not personally appointed by the sovereign Takeda Shingen.

So at that time, people didn't seem to be official, although there were a lot of discussions, but in the end, the two of them were together, and it was also considered free love, in Li Xiao's eyes, it was always better than Takeda Shingen to be a martial arts child who had never met, and then spend his life with him.

This is certainly incomprehensible to modern people.

On the day of Li Xiao's wedding, Li Xiao's retainers' regiment and the samurai in the family all participated.

The samurai under Li Xiao's command all wore formal kimonos and black hats tied with ropes tied in the shape of small sailboats.

Like Kinoshita Koichiro, a retainer from a humble background like Ozo Chang'an, it was the first time to wear such an orthodox samurai costume, and they all looked very cramped and uneasy.

At the wedding ceremony, each retainer presented a congratulatory message to Li Xiao and Kohata Yumi, and the retainers who had no ink in their stomachs had to find someone to do it for them early.

After a simple wedding ceremony, Li Xiao held a banquet in the castle tower to entertain his retainers, which was called the wedding disclosure banquet. And Yumi Kohata changed into a white Wu suit, changed to ordinary clothes, and entertained the retainers in the hall with Li Xiao.

According to the traditional samurai wedding, there are many rituals, such as the wedding where the man and woman have to drink 339 times to exchange a glass of wine to pledge to love each other for the rest of their lives.

Of course, this was also waived by Li Xiao, but it was changed to toast to each other, anyway, the degree of this sake is not high, and you won't get drunk if you drink a few more glasses.

After the toast, Li Xiao only felt that the whole person was slightly smoked, and it was enough to drink to a little dazed, and at this level, the whole person was not only in the highest state, but also not to the extent of being drunk.

Li Xiao didn't want his first wedding banquet in his life to make a mess and fall asleep.

Li Xiao turned his head to look, and saw that Yumi Kohata had drunk a few more glasses, and her face was flushed, but she looked even more beautiful.

Drunk and looking at the beauty, Li Xiao couldn't help but move in his heart.

After the wedding banquet, the retainers got up one after another to leave, and in the end, only Li Xiao and Yumi Kohata were left in the castle tower.

Li Xiao suddenly thought that he was only twenty-two years old this year, and when he was in the Celestial Empire, he had only reached the legal age of marriage. And Li Xiao doesn't know how many years he has to struggle, after having a car and a house, only a woman will be willing to marry you.

And after crossing over to the book, Li Xiao was already married.

Yumi Kohata sat on her knees, divided the hem of the Wu costume on both sides of her thighs, and respectfully sat aside to add wine to Li Xiao, looking particularly gentle under the lights.

From today onwards, the two will be officially husband and wife.

Li Xiao smiled, put down the wine saucer, and reached out to wrap his arms around Yumi Kohata's waist.

Yumi Kohata pillowed her head on Li Xiao's shoulder, revealing a hint of shyness, and said softly: "I will ask my husband to take care of me in the future." ”

Li Xiao smiled and was full of spirits, very hearty, and stretched out his other hand to the sturdy and round thighs under Kohata Yumi's Wu suit.

Yumi Kohata's body twisted slightly, and she didn't say a word, still at the mercy of Li Xiao's hand.

Li Xiao untied the belt around Yumi Kohata's waist, then picked her up with both hands and walked to the bed.

Yumi Kohata wrapped her hands around Li Xiao's head and looked at him in a daze, her eyes like water.

The long hair fell to the pillow like a thrilling waterfall, and the smooth skin was as white as ivory.

Li Xiao stretched out his hand and swept the long hair that Yumi Kohata was covering in front of him, and the eyes of the two met in an instant.

Then Yumi Kohata closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and nodded slightly in acquiescence.

Li Xiao took advantage of the situation and lowered his head and kissed it.

Suddenly, Li Xiao felt a bang in his head, blood surged, and a fragrance lingered in his mouth.

The next day, the light was sprinkled in the castle tower through the window grid, and although the temperature was still slightly cold, it was undoubtedly a good day today.

Li Xiao opened his eyes and saw Yumi Kohata still sleeping peacefully in his arms.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, he knew how tired Yumi Kohata was last night.

Li Xiao carefully pulled his arm out from under Yumi Kohata, then stood up and dressed in a hurry, as the city representative, he still has military affairs to do, and he is about to send troops to Hida, and there are still many things at hand that have not been done.

Li Xiao was in the dressing room, and suddenly felt warm behind him, and a pair of white arms passed under his ribs to hug him.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "You're awake." ”

Yumi Kohata leaned her head on Li Xiao's shoulder and said softly, "You have to get up so early." ”

Li Xiao nodded with a sigh.

Yumi Kohata smiled slightly, and instead of retaining it, she said supportively: "Okay, let me serve my husband and get dressed." ”

After speaking, Yumi Kohata simply draped the overcoat on her body, and then got up to dress Li Xiao. Yumi Kohata's movements were very gentle and serious, and even every wrinkle on Li Xiao's clothes was finely smoothed.

Li Xiao enjoyed the care of Yumi Kohata, and at the same time thought that he was married and had a wife, and he could be regarded as the first relative who came here, and he was not unfettered in Yuben.

Then as a man, you must protect his family and take care of it, which is a responsibility that must be assumed.

A man can start a family first, but he must be able to start a business, and all this forces Li Xiao to work harder and improve his strength, so that he can take care of Yumi Kohata and his family.

Li Xiao looked at the windowsill on the west side of the castle tower, and saw a snow-capped mountain in the distance, and then there was Hida Mountain, which was the starting point where he Li Xiao was going to establish his foundation.
