Chapter 214: A Heavenly Match

And Lin Yiqing's outfit is actually from the hands of Chiho Kirino.

Although He Yunqing is a beautiful woman, she is still not very familiar with Japanese clothing, so when preparing a wedding dress for Lin Yiqing, it was mainly purchased by Chiho Kirino, and He Yunqing gave her a hand.

And the family coat of arms on Lin Yiqing's dress was designed for him by Takamori Saigo.

The Japanese aristocracy paid great attention to the family coat of arms, and in Japan, the family coat of arms was a family symbol. It first came out in the life of the nobles and ministers, and then it was introduced to the homes of ordinary people. As early as the Heian period in Japan, when poetry and music and other arts were popular, the nobles often went out to participate in social activities, and often went by ox cart, and many people's cars were painted with black paint, making it difficult to distinguish the chariot between the other and me, and some people inlaid gold wire patterns on a certain part of the car, which was the origin of the family crest. With the diversification of people's lives, the scope of application of family crests is becoming more and more extensive. Some families simply weave the family pattern on the clothing when weaving, and this family pattern is also called the ground pattern. Wearing it on the body not only has the family logo, but also adds a beautiful color to the clothing. As a result, this practice has been passed down to this day. There are still many beautiful legends about the family crest, such as the wing pattern, which is the overlap of the family crest of the two lovers, indicating that the wings are flying and congratulating the eternal marriage. Trying to put a family crest on durable items became a fashion at the time. In particular, the dowry of the married girl is marked with family crests, such as dressers, cosmetics, etc.

The family crest designed by Saigo Takamori for Lin Yiqing is based on Lin Yiqing's table word "Hanpeng", the family crest is round, the main body is a seawater ripple pattern, and above the seawater is a Dapeng bird with wings spreading, which is not only beautiful and generous, but also very imposing. After this family crest was designed, not only Lin Yiqing liked it very much, but also samurai such as Toshiaki Kirino and Kunigan Shinohara were also amazed.

And seeing Lin Yiqing, who looked handsome in a kimono sewn by himself, Chiho Kirino's heart was full of happiness.

The marriage ceremony is officially held at 12 noon, according to the order of the marriage ceremony before the gods, from the entrance, sitting, worshipping the lord, the ceremony of repair, the dedication of the memorial, the blessing, the ceremony of the three offerings, the exchange of tokens, vows, the jade string of memorials, until the exit, the whole marriage ceremony takes about an hour to complete.

The bride and groom first worship before the gods with the lord of fasting. Next is the ritual of purification—the divine act of removing bad luck and removing the dirt of the body and mind. The ritual of three offerings - also known as the cup of "three three nine degrees". The bride and groom drink each other's cup of divine wine in small, medium and large order. Its meaning is the same as that of a glass of wine in a Chinese wedding. Next is the bride and groom jade string to lay - the so-called jade string is a kind of worship supplies strung with Yang Tong branches and slender paper, the bride and groom hold the jade string, step by step, the jade string is placed on the jade string in front of the god, in this way to convey their prayers to the gods. Then there is the family cup ceremony - the family members of the bride and groom toast together to celebrate the two families becoming one family. Then the Lord of the fast gave a congratulatory speech, wishing a couple of lovers to be married forever, and announcing the end of the wedding. After the audience stands and bows, they leave the venue in order.

After the wedding ceremony before the gods, the next step is the wedding feast. Before the wedding reception, all the guests quietly greet the bride and groom.

At the beginning of the wedding banquet, Chiho Kirino, who took off the "white and innocent" bridal dress, changed into a red kimono, led by his father Kirino Toshiaki, first circled the venue, showed the guests, and then returned to the groom Lin Yiqing - this is the signal of the beginning of the wedding banquet, unlike the Chinese wedding banquet, the Japanese bride and groom are the two of them sit alone in a place similar to the rostrum, and drink with the guests.

The menu is sumptuous and at this traditional Japanese wedding feast, each food on the table represents a good wish, happiness, wealth, longevity, and many children. For example, the head and tail of the fish are rolled upwards and the whole fish forms a circle, symbolizing that the husband and wife will never be separated. Lobsters are also common at wedding receptions because the crimson color of lobsters represents good luck. As for the dessert used after the meal, it is a sticky rice ball made by the bride herself with sweet sticky rice, which is very delicious.

Ito Hirobumi, who was sitting at the banquet, never left Lin Yiqing and Chiho Kirino.

Because he didn't dare to imagine that in this world, there was a person who was almost exactly the same as Lin Yizhe.

And after seeing Chiho Kirino, he suddenly felt that whether it was Akura, Chiyoko, or even the emperor's favorite servant Yanagihara Aiko, who was famous for her beauty, all overshadowed!

"Mr. Chunmu, what do you think of the bride and groom?" Saigo Takamori seemed to be aware of what Ito Hirobumi was thinking, and asked with a smile on the side.

"A match made in heaven, the most perfect couple I've ever met." Hirofumi Ito was heartily amazed.

"The bridegroom now looks like a complete Japanese, not a Qianguo." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang's eyes stayed on the family crest of Lin Yiqing's kimono, "His family crest is also very special, with the characteristics of both Qianguo and Japan, this is the first time I have seen such a family crest." ”

When Saigo Takamori heard Xiyuan Temple Gongwang praise Lin Yiqing's family crest pattern, he couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart, but he didn't show it at all.

"I heard that Lin Jun was born into a big family in Fujian Province," Ito Hirobumi said, "Lin Jun's appearance is very similar to the late Navy Minister Lin Yizhe of Qianguo, I wonder if he is from the same family?" ”

"It's not easy to say, there are many people in the world who look similar, and there are even more people with the same surname." Saigo Takamori smiled, "Speaking of which, Lin Jun and Mr. Chunmu also have the same surname, hehe." ”

Hearing Saigo Takamori's ridicule, Hirobumi Ito also laughed.

Ito Hirofumi young fame and fortune help, the word Junfu, the owner of Chunmu and Canglang Pavilion, his surname is Lin. Born in the descendants of Emperor Korei, the 7th monarch of Japan, Hirobumi Ito was born in Shinojiri, Shuhe-mura, Kumamo-gun, Zhoufangzhou, Japan, and was the son of a poor farmer in a mountain village. Her mother is the eldest daughter of Akiyama Nagazaemon, named Kotoko. His father, Hayashi Juzo, was adopted as an adopted son by Mizui Mubei, the middle of the Choshu Domain (between samurai and peasants). Mizui Bubeibei was adopted as an adopted son by Ashigaru (lower-ranking samurai) Ito Yaemon of the Choshu Domain, and was renamed Naoemon Ito. As the son-in-law of Mizui Juzo, Hayashi Risuke succeeded Ito's surname and inherited the status of Ashigaru's lower-ranking samurai family.

Saigo Takamori knew Ito Hirobumi's background because he deliberately ridiculed his background when he heard that Ito Hirobumi intended to link Lin Yiqing with Hayashi Yoshizhe, the "great enemy of Japan that has not been seen in a century". ———— Dividing Line————
