The room was very quiet, Jiraiya slowly flipped through the manuscript handed in by Ming Jing. Under his guidance, Ming Jing's writing skills had indeed improved a lot, at least to the point where he could read it.
"Although there are still some flaws, what you wrote is not for collection. It is enough to be a bestseller." Jiraiya closed the manuscript and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's good!" Ming Jing breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
"By the way, you kid, you're getting married the day after tomorrow, are you ready?" Jiraiya picked up the tea cup, and it actually contained wolfberry.
"Well, remember to have a drink then." Ming Jing packed up the manuscript and stood up to leave. Jiraiya looked at Ming Jing's leaving figure and couldn't help but laugh.
Time passed quickly. At dawn on Saturday, it was still dark outside. The Kurama clan and Hyuga clan were brightly lit, and everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles.
Hanabi didn't leave Hinata's room at all last night. When the maids came in, she also got up. The maids had a clear division of labor, some were responsible for cleaning, some were responsible for arranging the clothes, and a few were surrounding Hinata.
Beside her, dressing her up.
Pull up Hinata's long hair and tie it tightly with a tortoise shell comb. Wear a hat called "Kakugakure" to cover the bun. This means "covering the edges and corners", because there may be tempers before marriage.
If you are angular, you need to tone it down after marriage and become a docile, good wife and mother.
"Miss, eat some pastries to cushion your stomach. We will go to the temple to pray soon." Mai Hinata held a plate of red bean cake and placed it in front of Hinata.
"Okay." Hinata responded. She didn't dare to move. Several makeup artists were still applying makeup on her. Hanabi came over, picked up a piece of red bean cake and handed it to Hinata's mouth.
"Sister, ah~"
Seeing her sister's funny look, Hinata sighed helplessly, and then took a bite obediently. Hanabi's eyes lit up, and she didn't dare to sigh: "I seem to know why my brother-in-law likes my sister so much!"
"My lady is so beautiful, who wouldn't like it?" Hinata Mai said with a smile.
"You two..." Hinata couldn't move, so she ordered: "Hanabi, give me some water!"
"Drink less!" Hanabi quickly brought a glass of pure water with a straw inserted in the glass.
"I know!" Hinata responded and drank in small sips.
At this time, six maids came in pushing a cart. Hanabi ran over and asked curiously: "What is this?"
"This is the eldest lady's dress today. It was designed by Mr. Ming Jing himself." A maid from the Kurama clan explained with a smile.
"Is this skirt and veil?" Hanabi watched the two maids cooperate and spread the skirt in the room. Only then did she realize that the skirt was tens of meters long. She went up and touched it.
You can tell by its tender touch that it must be valuable.
The other two maids hung up the dress and looked at it from a distance. They thought the dress was simple in design. When they walked in and took a closer look, they found that there were patterns on the dress, and the patterns were outlined in platinum, and the lights were bright.
The illumination is a white light, as if the light is shining on the body.
"It looks so good!" Hanabi touched the lines on the dress with envy, and asked with some confusion: "Is this a phoenix?"
"Yes! This one is called 'dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness', which means love and happiness for hundreds of years." The maid explained with a smile while sorting it out.
"As expected of your brother-in-law, you are so grand!" Hanabi put down her dress and saw that her sister had already put on makeup. She quickly came over to take a closer look and said with satisfaction: "Sister, you are so beautiful! I can't bear to marry you off.
.”
"Miss Hanabi, you can't say that today!" Hinata Mai corrected.
"Who told me that my sister is so beautiful?" Hanabi hugged Hinata and rubbed her head against Hinata's chest a few times. As expected of her, she is indeed magnificent.
"Hanabi is very beautiful now!" Hinata patted Hanabi on the shoulder and said with a smile.
A maid came over holding a tray and reminded softly: "Miss, it's time to change clothes."
"Miss Hanabi, let's go out first!" Hinata Mai pulled Hanabi out of the room, leaving only two maids in the room to help Hinata change clothes.
It took nearly an hour, and it was already seven o'clock in the morning. Hinata was finally dressed up. With the support of two maids, she walked out of the room. The morning sun shone on her body, making her whole body sparkling white.
It's like walking out of a painting.
The two miko held the incense cage in both hands and stood at the door with a slight bow. When Hinata came out, they walked to the left and right to lead the way. The green smoke diffused from the incense cage, like two looming ribbons, escorting
Holding the crowd.
Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi were sitting in the hall. Except for the two of them, all the important figures of the Hyuga clan were present. Everyone had a cup of tea in their hands, and everyone closed their eyes to rest, looking as if the sky was falling.
At this time, Ming Jing was standing in front of a mirror, very satisfied with today's dress. He was not a serious aborigine, so the wedding would not be carried out step by step. So at his request, the wedding was a combination of two people.
The customs of the world. Although it is a bit complicated, this is Ming Jing’s first marriage after all! It’s good to be a little more complicated. The key is that Hinata has no objection, she is really a kind and gentle wife!
"Master, the time has come!" Qing Yan walked outside the room and reminded. "I know!" Ming Jing nodded, opened the door and walked out. Standing outside was today's wedding team, all of whom were members of the Kurama clan.
The elites. If these people are released, it will be more than enough to conquer the Sand Hidden Village.
"Congratulations, young master, happy wedding! May we have a happy marriage, may you have a son soon!" Everyone congratulated him with a smile when they saw the neatly dressed Ming Jing.
"Thank you for your hard work today," Ming Jing said with a smile. If you have a baby early, you still have to wait two years.
"Brother, you are so handsome today!" Yakumo emerged from the crowd, looked at the bright mirror, and couldn't help but admired.
"You are also very beautiful today!" Ming Jing was wearing Hanfu today, with black background and red stripes. He looked solemn and majestic. He touched Yakumo's long hair and praised with a smile.
"Master, the carriage is already at the door. It's time for you to set off." Qing Yan calculated the time and reminded him again.
"Let's go!" Ming Jing nodded and took the lead to walk out. The crowd slowly gathered behind him. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful. Their momentum became so inexplicable! I don't know, I thought these people were here to steal the bride.
Kurama Koji was standing in the family hall waiting. When he saw Ming Jing coming over with a group of rising stars from the family, he smiled so hard that his tooth sockets were exposed. He couldn't help but show off to the people around him: "Look, this is me.
The elite of the Kurama clan!"
"The equipment is majestic, the dragon walks like a tiger, you are worthy of being an elite!" The guests were very considerate, everyone was talking about how to say something nice, which made Kurama Koji even more happy. He stood up and walked to the door, and before Ming Jing could speak,
He waved his hand and shouted: "Go! Bring back the future leader and wife of the Kurama clan!"
"Yes! The mission has definitely been completed!" The people behind Ming Jing shouted excitedly, and now it was more like snatching the bride.
"Let's go!" Kurama Koji roared with full energy.
"Yes!" Everyone roared in unison, then surrounded Ming Jing and rushed out. Fortunately, the priests outside the door were more reliable and controlled the speed of the carriage, slowly driving towards the Hyuga Clan's station. And from the Kurama Clan's station to
The two sides of the road where the Hyuga clan is stationed were connected with red ribbons early on, and flowers were picked every twenty meters. After leaving the bamboo forest in front of the door, pedestrians lined both sides of the road. When they saw the convoy appearing, they
Cheered.
"Spread out the candies and pastries! You're here so early, don't go hungry." Ming Jing sat in the carriage, waved to passers-by, and said to Qing Yan who was walking next to him.
Qingyan nodded and immediately gave the order. The next moment, nearly a hundred teenagers ran out from the back of the team and started throwing candies and pastries at the pedestrians on both sides.
"I grabbed it! It's fructose!"
"I got it too! Marshmallows?"
"Hahaha...it's the mung bean cake from Zhonghua Restaurant, you're making a profit!"
"This is wine candy, take it home and give it to your little girl."
Pedestrians on both sides stretched out their hands to catch the candies and pastries, just like drawing a lottery. If they received the ones they liked or the rare ones, they would happily put them away and continue to pick them up. If they received the ordinary ones, they would eat them immediately, pinning their hopes on the next time.
"How generous! Just the candies and pastries scattered along the way are a huge sum of money!" Some outsiders sighed as they watched the wedding procession passing by, eating and receiving candies.
The villagers around him said with great pride: "After all, both sides are wealthy families! Moreover, this is the first time that two wealthy families have married. This situation can be said to be rare in a century."
"That's true!"
As the team moved forward slowly, they finally arrived at the headquarters of the Hyuga clan within the stipulated time. Surrounded by everyone, Ming Jing met with Hinata and Hinata. After receiving permission, under the leadership of the shrine maiden, one person went to Hinata where Hinata was.
shrine.
The big families in Konoha Village will build a shrine of their own in their residence, such as the Uchiha clan, the Senju clan, and the Hyuga clan. The Kurama clan also had its own shrine before, but it was just that the family was in decline and could not afford to support the shrine, so they abandoned it.
It wasn't until Ming Jing appeared in the sky and led the Kurama clan back to the wealthy family that Kurama Koji reopened the shrine.
In the family shrine, in addition to enshrining a god, it also enshrines the sacrifices of the family. The main function of the shrine is to pray for blessings before going on an expedition, praying for blessings during the New Year and festivals, praying for blessings when major events occur, etc.
Etc. When the eldest daughter gets married, it is natural to pray for blessings. And in order to avoid suspicion, the priests in the shrine have to be taken outside, and all matters are presided over by the shrine maidens. Ming Jing was led by two shrine maidens into the Hyuga Shrine.
This was his first time here, and he found that the environment in the shrine was pretty good. After passing through the torii gate, he saw a lake, and the shrine was on the small island in the center of the lake.
Walking onto the wooden bridge, Ming Jing looked at the big white bird blocking the road in front of him with some surprise. This thing seems to be called a pelican, right?
"By the way, can a pelican grow so big?" Ming Jing looked at the big bird blocking the road and said with some surprise. This was the first time he saw a living pelican!
"Stop talking nonsense! Boy, listen to me!" The big pelican opened its wings, and its wingspan actually exceeded ten meters. When it stood up, it was nearly three meters tall. The shadow of the big bird shrouded the mirror, and it was arrogant.
Said: "This lake is my home, and I built this bridge! If you want to cross from now on, leave the money to cross the bridge!"
"It's so big, how does it taste? I've never eaten a pelican!" Ming Jing looked at the giant bird opposite and said seriously.
"Master Juanyu, please stop joking." The miko quickly explained: "This is Master Mingjing, and he is here to marry Miss Hinata."
"Huh? This guy doesn't have supercilious eyes!" The big pelican named Juan Yu looked at the mirror seriously and said with some doubts.
"Master Mingjing is from the Kurama clan." The shrine maiden continued to explain.
The whole bird of the big pelican was instantly petrified. Then it turned around and scratched the board with one paw on the bridge, making a "sizzling" sound: "The Hyuga girl got married, but no one told me, you really didn't."
You take me seriously..."
"Lord Juan Yu..." the witch sneered, not knowing how to comfort this big bird.
"Hey, silly bird, stop blocking the road. If you delay my good time, you will really be roasted!" Ming Jing said with a smile.
"Master Ming Jing..." The witch glanced at Ming Jing helplessly. Neither of them could be offended by a little person like her!
"Boy! It's not that easy to marry a Hyuga girl!" The curly-feathered pelican suddenly turned around, pointed at the mirror with the tip of its wing and shouted: "Listen clearly, if you want to cross the bridge, the fee will be doubled! Ten times more.
Times...no, fifty times!"
"Okay!" Ming Jing nodded calmly.
"Hey... bargaining is useless... what?!" The curly-feathered pelican paused and looked at the mirror in surprise.
"I said, OK!" Ming Jing repeated with a smile.
"I, I, I, I want a thousand fish!" roared the curly pelican.
"I can stock five thousand fish in this lake." Ming Jing said.
"Please, sir, please walk slowly. This bridge has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are some places where it is not very comfortable to step on." The curly-feathered pelican instantly moved out of the way, with its wings like human hands, making a 'please' gesture. SPIEGEL
When the two shrine maidens around me saw this scene, they all wanted to jump into the lake. They sold the eldest lady with thousands of fish. It is indeed the shrine guardian psychic beast passed down from generation to generation by the Hyuga clan!
Two shrine maidens were waiting outside the shrine. Ming Jing walked in alone and saw Hinata wearing a white dress designed by Ming Jing kneeling in front of a statue.
Hinata looked back at Ming Jing and showed a gentle smile: "Brother Ming Jing, you are here!"
"Well, I'm here to pick you up." Ming Jing walked over, but did not kneel down. In his opinion, no god in this world could withstand his kneeling. "This is Konohana no Sakuya Himai,"
Hinata didn't care about Ming Jing's actions. She explained gently: "Sakuya Himai of Konohana is a god worshiped by the Hyuga clan for generations. It symbolizes the fragility and beauty of life, and is also the god of cherry blossoms."
"I see." Ming Jing nodded. He was really confused about the mythological system of this world. After all, Kaguya is alive, so maybe these gods are some powerful ninjas or something.
Hinata looked at the mirror and summoned up the courage to ask: "If the cherry blossoms fall at a speed of five centimeters per second, how long will it take for two hearts to get closer?"
Ming Jing was stunned. This question sounded a bit familiar! He thought for a while and said seriously: "The love lasts for a long time, day and night."
Hinata stood up, probably because she had been kneeling for a long time, and her movements were a bit staggering. Ming Jing's quick eyesight and quick hands immediately supported Hinata.
Hinata blushed, looked up at Ming Jing and said, "There is a booklet on the altar, and Brother Ming Jing also wants to write it."
Ming Jing let go of Hinata and picked up the book. It was the prayer book of the Hyuga clan. It can also be regarded as a husband's promise to his wife. This thing must be enshrined in front of the gods. Ming Jing thought for a while and wrote: 'No matter what
Between the ends of the sea and the ends of the earth, peace of mind is probably home.'
Hinata looked at Ming Jing tenderly, and when the ink dried, she put the prayer book into her arms. Ming Jing was stunned and asked with some confusion: "Isn't it placed in the shrine?"
Hinata said a little shyly: "I am married to a foreigner! Of course I have to carry it with me."
"That makes sense!" Ming Jing smiled, took Hinata's hand and walked out.
"Boss, go slow, remember my fish!" The curly-feathered pelican was paddling in the lake. When he saw Ming Jing pulling Hinata away, he immediately swam over and shouted.
"Don't worry!" Ming Jing waved his hand, feeling that this psychic beast was quite interesting. Hinata glanced at each other in confusion, wondering when they had such a good relationship.
After walking out of the shrine, the two shrine maidens bowed slightly, then picked up the incense cage and walked in front of them to lead the way. When walking out of the torii gate, Hinata unfolded the folding fan to cover half of her face, leaving only her pure white eyes outside.
The two slowly walked out, bid farewell to Hinata Hizashi and everyone in the Hyuga family, and boarded the carriage heading to the Kurama clan's headquarters.
People around them kept smiling and cheering with all kinds of blessings. The two people boarded the carriage and sat down. The moment the carriage started, layers of colorful rays of light fell from the clear sky.
"This, this is the auspicious light from heaven!" Hinata Hizu said in shock when he saw this scene.
"It's not over yet!" Hinata Hizashi looked down at the ground and saw pale golden translucent lotus flowers emerging from the ground and then slowly blooming.
"Auspicious light descends from the sky, and golden lotuses emerge from the earth!" Qingyan also said in disbelief. Although he knew that his young master was awesome, this was too awesome! "The proud man of heaven" was not enough to describe his young master.
The auspicious light was like rain and dew, falling on everyone. Everyone felt a coolness all over their bodies, as if their fatigue had been eliminated. The golden lotus bloomed, and the faint fragrance spread. When you smell it, you feel refreshed!
"This is a miracle!" Hinata Hizu sighed as he looked at the carriage going away.
"Uncle, father, the scope of this auspicious light coming from the sky and the golden lotus emerging from the ground seems to be unexpectedly wide!" Neji opened his eyes and observed for a while and said: "I can't see the edge."
"Could it be that... the whole world is sharing this benefit?" Hyuga Hizashi guessed.
"I'm afraid it is!" Hinata Hizu smiled. This kind of auspiciousness will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and the Hyuga clan will also be passed down through the ages.
