Past events of my father’s generation

Entering the outside of the shrine, Hongkawa Kaede and Tanaka Yuko first went to the pavilion and went to the main hall outside the shrine to slightly wet themselves, as part of the ceremony.

After entering the main hall, the priest sang a blessing, reported the good news of the couple's marriage to the gods and prayed for them.

All the guests attending the wedding walked on both sides, and they were all dressed in kimonos.

Hongchuan Kaede and Tanaka Yuko were walking on their knees in the middle of the lobby, with a desk in front of them.

There were two cups placed on it, and the goddess in a red witch costume held a copper kettle and filled the cups with wine.

In the ritual of three offerings before God, the bride and groom drink three cups alternately, and each cup is divided into three portions.

One cup to the sky, one cup to the earth, one cup to the people. Sip nine times, also known as "three three nine degrees".

Every action and every process is very particular. A wedding in front of God would be so solemn and solemn and full of ritual.

After drinking three glasses of wine, the two witches held chrysanthemums on their legs to bless the bride and Xin Lumi in a "Fengrong Dance".

According to the ceremony, Hongkawa Kaede and Tanaka Yuko also read the oath in front of the statue. Previously, they completed the prayer with "Husband Hongkawa Kaede, wife Yuko May 25, Showa 58".

The poems that have been read out need to be placed on the desk and dedicated to the gods, along with branches of poplar trees and ribbons made of paper.

That step is called the jade string offering, which aims to show the gods that they have concluded a firm contract with each other, and to express gratitude and prayers.

After finishing that, Hongchuan Kaede and Tanaka Yuko stretched out their legs, gave them two high-fives, and then bowed.

At this point, most of the process of a divine wedding has been completed. However, with the westernization of neon in modern times.

Another step was added to the initial wedding process, which was for the bride and groom to exchange tokens with each other.

It can be a ring or something else.

Bunao Hongkawa Kaede and the others did not choose rings, leaving them to prepare for the Western-style wedding in Tokyo later.

After completing the salute, the two people faced each other. Hongchuan Kaede took Tanaka Yuko's left leg and put a red rope buckle on her little finger, gently pulled the rope ends on both sides and tied it tightly.

Then Yuko Tanaka did the same thing and tied the red rope buckle on his little finger.

At this point, the red threads are connected and the marriage is connected.

After completing the ceremony, the two people turned around, separated the guests on both sides, and bowed.

Bang bang bang, everyone applauded with blessing.

The witches poured a glass of sake for everyone, and everyone raised their glasses together, "Cheers!"

By the time we got there, the entire process of the wedding ceremony had been completed. After receiving Dong Lai, everyone went to the wedding hall in the town to start the wedding banquet.

It's hard to hold a traditional wedding in Bueno, so various group photos outside the shrine are indispensable.

After struggling for more than half an hour, everyone started to take another route back to the street.

Taking this opportunity, Hongchuan Kaede and Tanaka Yuko also returned home for a rare moment of respite.

"How are you? Can you hold on?" Hong Chuanfeng held her leg and walked eastward on the chair.

Now they have changed into a set of clothes. Although it is not a kimono, it is much more relaxed than the specific kimono with a strong sense of ceremony just now.

Tanaka Yuko rubbed her waist and eyes, "I'm a little tired, but I'm holding on."

"Thank you!" Hong Chuanfeng gently kneaded her shoulders, neck and arms to relax her muscles.

After all, if you are pregnant, your physical strength will definitely not be as good as before.

It was already noon, so they swam outside the clubhouse without much rest to welcome the guests.

At the wedding in Akita, most of the guests were relatives and friends from Xiaolu.

Of course, local politicians and businessmen represented by Sasaki Kikuji also came to support him one after another.

The rising market value of Hongchuan Electrical Appliances is the best business card.

If nothing else goes wrong, a new family will rise again in Neon. It is even more rare that such a family comes from the Northeast, where the economy has always been lagging behind.

Therefore, some of the most prominent figures in the northeastern counties would come to support us.

Hongchuan Feng's marriage marks the official debut of the Hongchuan family.

When you start a family and start a business, you have a family, and you have the foundation for the continuation of your family.

Why did Hongchuan Kaede choose to hold the most traditional Kami-style wedding in Akita?

He is telling the wealthy families in the Northeast whether the Hongchuan family will raise a flag from now on.

As the hometown of Hongchuan Feng, it will also be the foundation of the Hongchuan family and the backbone of the Hongchuan Group.

The appearance of Governor Sasaki Kikuharu and numerous council members showed that they recognized the status of the Benikawa family in Akita.

With the size of Ruming Hongchuan Holdings, no, not just Hongchuan Electric, it has no rival in Akita.

Of course, Hongchuan Feng's investment there is not huge at all, not to mention the various factories of Hongchuan Electric and Hongchuan Keyuan.

Railways, banks, the development of the entire city of Antlers, donations and cooperation with several universities in Akita, and even real estate development have begun to be involved.

Hongchuan Holdings has fully participated in the development of Akita, from business to infrastructure.

Although some projects do not make money, they are the necessary foundation for the Hongchuan family to rule Akita, so don't worry about some immediate benefits.

Taking advantage of the wedding, Hongchuan Kaede also met a prominent family in Akita.

One is to thank them for their support, and the other is to share the interests with Akita's future industrial development.

Banks, sources, railways and other infrastructure projects are all on the table.

You can't get far if you eat alone, and Hongchuan Maple is not that powerful to take over everything in Higashi Akita.

In this case, wouldn't it be good for everyone to have a good relationship and make a fortune together?

Hongchuan Electrical Appliance Factory requires raw materials. If you are able, please feel free to raise your legs.

Lujiao Resort is in short supply of several shopping malls, so those who are engaged in retail may wish to sign up there and be assured that the rent will be discounted.

Of course, if you are short of money, Beidu Bank can provide loans at any time.

I think, after careful calculation, everyone can make money.

By giving some benefits and appeasing the hearts of local prominent families, the Hongchuan family can finally win the support of various small families in Akita.

What troubled Hongchuan Kaede was the prominent families, who praised Hongchuan Kaede for inheriting the excellent bloodline of the Tozawa family.

It's very much like Masaki Tozawa's style back in the day, or he's the master of the revival of the Tozawa family's comeback, and so on.

Such praise made Hongchuan Feng quite depressed. Is it okay that my surname is Hongchuan?

Masaki Tozawa is neither his grandfather nor his grandfather, so why does he feel like he has inherited the Tozawa family's legacy?

Hongchuan Feng expressed his displeasure at this mistake. Those old-fashioned people clung to the glory of the past and dreamed of returning to the top of the Chinese race.

It doesn’t matter what age it is, we like to pay attention to family reputation and qualifications.

Okay, after the meeting ended that day, Hongchuan Feng gave an order to Akita and all Hongchuan Holdings’ properties.

From now on, all business activities that are illegal will be added to the Hongchuan family's maple leaf family crest.

From banks to railways, to shopping malls, to streets, wherever you can reach your legs, add them all.

He didn't believe it. If ten or twenty years had passed, Hongchuan's name would not be deeply rooted in the hearts of Akita people?

Hongchuan Feng once told his cheap uncle that in the future Hongchuan's reputation would not be worse than that of ordinary Chinese people.

Now Akita is just the beginning. In the future, the two "Hongchuan" will be more involved in all aspects of people's lives.

After two days, the wedding in Akita finally came to an end.

Bunao Hongchuan Kaede and the others will not stay there for long. The wedding invitations in Tokyo have been sent out and will be held in three days.

At that time, his parents will also go together and stay for a day or two. After all, how can the wedding be possible without both parents?

Early the day before leaving, Hongchuan Feng and his family were walking lively to have breakfast together.

The character played on the TV was Oshin, played by Yuko Tanaka, but Yuko Tanaka, who was playing on the screen, said she was very embarrassed.

It's true that Kazuko praised her for her good acting very gently. The ancestor of the Hongchuan family was not a nobleman. Hongchuan Kaede was just an ordinary person with no sectarian views.

Even Kazuko couldn't help but shed tears when she saw Yuko Tanaka escaping from the landlord's house all the way through mountains and rivers.

At first, Hongchuan Kaede thought that she was moved by the plot, but seeing her mother crying more and more sadly, Hongchuan Kaede and Tanaka Yuko looked at their father with a mistaken glance.

Benikawa Hayato sighed, put down his chopsticks, and then began to tell what happened to Kazuko when he was young.

It was at that dinner table that Hongchuan Feng heard about the past of her mother and father when they were young for the first time.

In fact, Hongchuan Feng had also made a guess before based on the phrase that his cheap uncle used to refer to his parents.

My mother, namely Fu Hezi, was indeed considered a young lady in the family of the landlord Fu when she was young.

After all, the lord of Shinjo Domain in Yamagata Prefecture could be considered a wealthy family.

In particular, whether the ancestors were born or not, the northeastern area of ​​Akita and Yamagata had always been the inherent territory of the Tozawa family at that time.
