Chapter 125: The Big Wedding
The news of the lord's upcoming wedding spread like wings throughout the Luo family's territory, and all the retainers and lords took to the streets to celebrate as if they were celebrating a festival. The law of the Luo family has been implemented for several months, and these lords have been benefited to varying degrees, coupled with the deliberate rendering of the detective who is responsible for monitoring the situation in the territory, in the eyes of all the lords, Zhengliang has become a young and brave but wise and benevolent lord, so the loyalty of the lords to the Luo family is quite high, which can be seen from the prestige rate of 95 in Zhengliang's skill system.
On the 28th day of the seventh month of the ninth year of astronomy (1540), this day was the day of Zhengliang's wedding. All the retainers and samurai of the Luo family came to the Chungxiao Temple, which had just been built in Notaka Village, to attend the wedding of the lord. Considering the safety issue, Masara did not notify the Sashi family and the Hasaka family, the only exception was to notify the Kamiya family in the cooperation, mainly because the other party's sister was about to marry into the Qiuyue family and invited Masara to attend the wedding, it seems that the Kamiya family is interested in introducing the Luo family to the Qiuyue family, the so-called courtesy exchange, and Masato also invited him to participate in his wedding. After learning of Masayo's wedding, the Kamiya family sent the second batch of supplies purchased by the Luo family (50 sets of simple and sufficient, the last 100 bows and bows) and a large amount of free sake, and a pair of exquisite porcelain bowls as a congratulatory gift.
Originally, Masato planned to keep everything simple for the wedding, but Togo Heiji strongly objected, and he proposed to hold the wedding more solemnly, so that all the lords could know that the lord of the road had a wife, so that the lords could settle down with peace of mind, and the retainers could also experience the majesty of the head of the family. But Masara felt that no matter how you look at it, this guy who is the father of the bride doesn't want to treat his daughter badly, and intends to help the demonstration. In desperation, Masarashi finally agreed to Togo Heiji's suggestion.
The wedding was presided over by the monk Xuanru. This little monk is famous for his medical skills, and usually treats people for free (unfortunately as the head of the family, Zhengliang needs to pay for the doctor of this Luo family), and has been recognized by the people, and his prestige is also quite high. But Masato thought it was strange, how could a monk become a priest? And weddings are generally held in the shrine.,Now because there is no shrine in the territory.,The temple will be used as a temporary shrine.,Monk Xuanru didn't even object to this.,Even enthusiastically and Togo Heiji prepared for the lord's wedding.。 This makes Masarashi secretly confident in his charm.
"Newcomers are in!" Monk Xuanru shouted.
The crowd standing outside the temple immediately split into two columns and gave way to a passage in the middle for the newcomers. Masato settled down, took Togo Ju's small hand, and walked towards the temple. Today, the bride wears a white silk kimono that symbolizes purity and flawlessness, her hair is tied up and tied tightly with a turtle shell comb, and she wears a hat called "Kakuin" on her head to cover her hair in a bun, which means "to cover the edges and corners", because the temper may be angular before marriage, but after marriage, she must be restrained and be a docile and good wife and mother, and her face is also painted snow white with fat powder, and she wears a white hijab and veil on her head, which looks extremely beautiful and moving. Masara wore a black kimono with a striped folded skirt underneath.
The first ceremony of the wedding is the "Ritual of Worship". Admission of the bride and groom, both parents, and the rest. After entering the shrine, everyone washed their hands in a dish of clear water, which was the second ritual "The Ritual of Hand Water". After everyone stands still, the temporary priest Xuanru monk recites the words, which is the "ritual of repair", mainly to drive away evil spirits and purify the heart, and the priest recites the words of cultivation to pray for the bride and groom and their relatives on both sides. Then, the monk Xuanru prayed to the statue again, which was the "ritual of congratulations", and the priest notified the two of them to the god of their marriage and prayed for blessings. After the prayer is completed, several little maids serve three glasses of wine, and Masayo and Kikuhime alternately drink with three cups of wine, forming a marriage contract between husband and wife, because they have to drink three glasses of wine in three times, so it is called "three three nine degrees", which is the "ritual of three offerings". …,
After drinking the 339 degrees of wine, after taking the oath handed over by the monk Xuanru, Masahiro and Ju Ji began to read the oath in front of the gods, which is the "oath to be played". Later, he took the jade string handed over by the maid and offered it to the gods, and this jade string (a leafy twig of the populace tree with a white cloth wrapped around it) is said to have played a role in connecting the hearts of gods and people. After the worship, drums sounded in the field, and several little girls performed a dance, looking at the movement, it was obvious that it was a temporary rehearsal, and I don't know who in the territory of the road can dance with these witches.
After Kagura ended, the wedding feast finally began. Masarashi and Kikuhime change into ordinary clothes and entertain everyone in the makeshift grounds of the temple.
"Hehe, Ju Ji, you have to serve the head of the family well in the future and give birth to a son-in-law as soon as possible" Togo Heiji and Masato drank a few toasts to each other, and their faces were already a little red. He was very satisfied with the marriage.
During the Warring States period, the marriage of sons was to marry the enemy and gain the opportunity to join forces. Although the daughter's marriage is also for both parties to get the opportunity to form an alliance, the daughter is going to marry far away to the other party's family, so the daughter who marries out of Lu has become a hostage mortgage for other people's families. If the two sides tore up the covenant, the first person to be killed was the daughter who was in the hands of someone else. Sometimes, the son also needs to be sent to the other party as a hostage for storage, as long as the other party feels that the cooperation between the two parties still has potential, he will give his daughter to the hostage son as a wife. Of course, this does not mean that the status as a hostage is over, and if necessary, people will not be merciful in killing their sons-in-law. At the same time, whether you are marrying a wife or a daughter, the most important point is that you still have to be the right person. In this era, the requirements for bloodline are very high, and the "low" bloodline must not stain the "noble" bloodline, and those with low status are not qualified to marry those with noble status. The ministers attached the most importance to blood, so they were determined not to allow any problems with the blood of the Emperor, whose empress had to be chosen from among the daughters of several noble families. After Tokugawa Hidetada became a shogun, at the behest of his father, Tokugawa Ieyasu, he married his daughter and son to the emperor as empress. It stands to reason that the Tokugawa family is a member of the world, and their actual status is far above that of the emperor with an empty name, so it is not impossible to let their daughter be the empress. But with such an identity, the emperor also complained, and later the son born to Empress Wako died for no reason, and it is said that the ministers poisoned him in order to prevent the prince of the lowly blood of the Tokugawa family from ascending to the throne.
Toshiheiji is Satsuma's Togo family, barely called noble, in fact, before being exiled, Togo Heiji was ready to marry Kikuhime to the Shimazu family, and now he is married to Masayo by mistake. And Masayo is a descendant of the Genji clan (this is a rumor, Masara has not admitted it, and of course he has not refuted the rumors, it is much more convenient to have a good background in this era), and he is the head of the Luo family, and he is completely worthy of his daughter, so Togo Heiji is very satisfied.
Dongxiang Ju heard his father talk about giving birth in public, and his face immediately turned red.
"Hahaha, Lord Heiji, you're drunk" At this time, Tsuda Guangzong, who was drinking happily on the side, suddenly turned his head, and when he saw Dongxiang Heiji's appearance, he suddenly laughed, "Come on, let's have a few more drinks." After speaking, without waiting for Togo Heiji to answer, he drank a full cup. This guy, knowing that Dongxiang Heiji is drunk, still wants to persuade people to drink, it seems that he is the one who is really drunk.
"Lord Guangzong, please pay attention to etiquette in front of the head of the family" The military eye Fu Luo Sasuke appeared in time and saluted respectfully to Masahiro, "Your Highness, congratulations on your wedding." Sasuke, who was born as a small surname of Masara, is respectful and loyal to Masarashi from the bottom of his heart.
"Hehe, the leg injury is almost better, right?" Masara asked. …,
"Yes, thanks to His Highness for inviting Master Xuanru to settle in his family, and with the master's care during this time, his injuries have been much better," Sasuke said. His Royal Highness the Master of such a high moral rank can be invited, and he is indeed worthy of being the head of the Luo family.
In this way, the retainers came one by one to toast and bless, and in the evening, the wedding that lasted all day finally ended. Fortunately, the retainers are also very good at doing it.,Didn't deliberately get drunk Masahiro.,Although the degree of sake is not high.,But if the retainers deliberately pour alcohol.,The lowest degree Masara will also be drunk.。
After taking a mandarin duck bath, the two had a passion on the tatami mats, and when the passion was over, Ju Ji leaned softly in Zhengliang's arms and murmured, "Your Highness, the concubine feels very happy." ”
"Well, what did you just call me?" Masarashi asked as he scratched Kikuhime's chin lightly.
"Husband... "Husband," Kikuhime called shyly.
"What did you just say? I can't hear it", Masarashi began to roam over Kikuhime's body again.
"Huh? Husband, don't make trouble" Although she has been in sex with Masayo several times recently, Ju Ji's body is still very sensitive to Masayo's touch, "Husband... Husband, you... When are you going to marry Sister Crane and Sister Butterfly, um... And Sister Miko? ”
"Hmm" Zhengliang pretended to groan, then suddenly turned over and pressed Ju Ji under him, kissed her earlobe lightly and whispered, "Then the Luo family must have an heir first, now we have to work hard." ”
"Huh? No... Hmm", Kikuhime wanted to continue talking, but was soon kissed by Masara, and then fell into Masara's fierce attack again.
