After reading the oath, Qingto suddenly understood why Boss Kiryu wrote this oath in ancient Japanese.
Compared with the simple and direct vernacular, the elegant ancient Chinese proverbs are undoubtedly more elegant and solemn.
"Three-three-nine degrees" and "reading oaths" are the most important rituals in Japanese weddings.
Its status is similar to the exchange of rings in Western weddings and the couple's worship in Chinese weddings.
With the end of these two rituals, the next part is basically coming to an end.
When Qingden put away the oath in his hand, the shrine maidens waiting nearby immediately rushed forward to prepare for the "Kindship Cup".
Under the guidance of the witch, the bride and groom, as well as their relatives and friends, stood up together and raised their wine glasses.
The witch poured the sacred wine and everyone drank it - this was a ceremony to deepen the bond between the two families.
The next step is called "Salaaming".
The witch held a very precious piece of silk in both hands, walked slowly, and handed it to Qingden respectfully.
The bride and groom who receive this silk get up and go to the temple to place the silk, and then perform "two salutes, two claps and one salute".
Two bows, two claps and one bow - a very classic Shinto worship etiquette.
As the name suggests, this ritual consists of three parts:
The second ceremony: face God and bow deeply twice.
Second clap: Clap your hands twice, then put your hands together, make a wish to the gods, and then put your hands down.
Yili: A deep bow is performed at the end to complete the entire worship process.
The matchmaker, the relatives and friends of both men and women must also "worship" to God.
After the ceremony, everyone returned to the table and took their seats.
Then comes the final ceremony: "The Lord's Speech."
The wedding is about to end, but the bride and groom cannot relax at this time - once they relax, this rare sacred atmosphere will be wasted.
Although weddings in front of gods are very complicated and full of all kinds of bells and whistles.
But one thing is for sure, these various ceremonies and projects sublimated the atmosphere of the scene invisibly.
The clergy of Inari Taisha Shrine are very dedicated, so dedicated that Aoto wants to give them more money.
Whether it is the master who is responsible for presiding over all the rituals, the master who is responsible for the purification, or the witch who steps forward to perform the dance, they always have tight facial lines and a solemn expression, doing every movement meticulously and perfecting every detail.
At first glance, it looked more like a serious godly ceremony than a wedding.
Thanks to these numerous rituals and the hard work of the clergy, the scene is always filled with a sense of sanctity that makes people subconsciously hold their breath.
Under the influence of this atmosphere, the timidity and nervousness of the three women gradually faded away.
They unconsciously straightened their backs, raised their necks, and crossed their hands in front of their abdomens.
Almost at the same time, the solemn look on Qingdeng's face became a little more intense.
He stood upright, his hands hanging down naturally, not angry but proud.
It's a coincidence that they all have the same idea at the moment - to spend the last second of this wedding in the best possible condition!
The so-called "blessing by the host", simply put, is the "host"...that is, the host who is responsible for hosting the entire wedding offers blessings to the bride and groom, saying "I wish you happiness forever" and "a happy marriage for a hundred years".
New Year's greetings to "give birth to a precious son soon".
After the master finished speaking and retired... At this point, today's unprecedented grand wedding of "one groom and three brides" has officially come to an end!
This pair... er, no, these four newlyweds, under the witness of gods, move towards a new life!
From this moment on, the three girls are no longer Chiba Sanako, Kinoshita Mai, and Okita Tsukasa, but Tachibana Sanako, Tachibana Mai, and Tachibana Tsukasa.
Such a brief description of the wedding process makes it seem like time passed very quickly and the wedding was over in a short while.
But in fact, from the time of entering the shrine to the final "congratulations from the owner", a total of nearly 2 hours have passed!
"Repair", "Dance Presentation"... these are all large and extremely time-consuming projects.
Because the bride and groom and their "group of relatives and friends" have to stand up and stand frequently instead of sitting still, their situation is slightly better.
On the other hand, looking at the guests watching the ceremony from the outside, these people were in a miserable state.
This is a Kami-style wedding, and it is also the Kami-style wedding of "Nioh" Tachibana Aoden. Naturally, you are not allowed to make rude actions such as "crossing your legs" or "squatting on the ground".
If you sit without a posture and show no humility, then this is not only disrespectful to the gods, but also disrespectful to Qingdeng.
No one wants Qingdeng to leave a bad impression on him.
As a result, the guests could only respectfully put their knees together and sit upright.
Even if you sit until your legs are numb and you lose consciousness, you don't dare to move. It will torture you as much as you want.
Fortunately, the weather today is very good, with clear skies.
Although there were occasional cold winds, there was no snowfall.
Otherwise, I am afraid that several people will freeze to death in the wind and snow.
…
…
As we all know, eating a banquet is an essential part of a wedding, both at home and abroad.
Dinner party, start!
Today, the place is really full of guests and distinguished guests.
Under such circumstances, if the soup is served with little water, it will undoubtedly make people laugh, and it will invisibly lower the style of Qingto, Qinsjin clan and Shinsengumi.
Although "frugality" is a noble virtue, there are times when you absolutely cannot hold on to your money bag - this is a truth that Qingdeng realized after many years of hard work in the officialdom.
Therefore, Qingdeng, who had never been fond of extravagance and waste, gritted his teeth this time and made a big deal after a long absence.
Rice, sea bream, stock, matsutake mushrooms...all are arranged!
Under Qingdeng's "big money scattering", the guests' dinner plates were luxurious and filled with rare delicacies.
The so-called "dazzling array" is nothing more than that.
Although most of the guests present were either rich or noble, such luxurious cuisine really surprised many of them.
A few people even gasped and looked in disbelief.
For example, the envoy of the Yonezawa clan, "the poorest clan in the world" - after seeing the sumptuous dishes in front of him, he quickly experienced the process of "beginning to be mad, then mad and finally mad".
He hurriedly picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and started to eat the rice with great force, like a starving ghost who had just been reincarnated.
According to custom, during a banquet, guests who are familiar with the bride and groom can come forward one by one to toast and bless them.
Qingdeng put on his clothes and put on his face, and was ready to "drink heavily".
The three girls continued to sit side by side with him in the order of "Kinoshita Mai, Souji, and Sanako".
It is worth mentioning that they are all wearing brand new clothes now.
White Wugou is the wedding dress.
Now that the wedding is over, it is naturally inappropriate to wear it anymore.
So, as soon as the wedding was over, the three girls temporarily retreated to the inner court and put on colored gowns with the husband's family crest - that is, the gentian leaf - to show that they were infected by the husband's family tradition and that in the new family
Rebirth.
[Note·Colored gown: Colored gowns are usually used for wedding attire. Colored gowns symbolize joy and auspiciousness, so the accessories are often colorful. There are many colors to choose from, such as red, gold, and black, and the patterns are also auspicious.
Rich variations such as phoenix, crane, plum blossom, pine, bamboo and plum.】
Generally speaking, the colored katana is one of the most gorgeous styles in kimono, comparable to the furisode.
It is no longer a uniform white, you can freely choose your favorite colors and patterns...
It is no exaggeration to say that as early as 2 months ago, the three girls were gearing up!
Even Sanako, who usually presents an image of being "unconventional", also has a strong interest in beautiful clothes.
While they carefully prepared their own erotic gowns, they also sold it to Qingdeng.
They didn't let Qingdeng know the color and style of his gown, saying they wanted to save the surprise until the end.
Having said that... Even if Qingdeng was thinking with his buttocks, he could roughly guess what the three women's erotic clothes would look like.
He knows their preferences very well.
As expected - Sanako is wearing blue, Mai Kinoshita is wearing red, and Souji is wearing purple...
However, the colored gown is indeed a first-rate and gorgeous piece of clothing.
For example, Sanako's blue dress is dotted with many lines of green, white, blue and other colors, making it look particularly gorgeous.
Viewed from a distance, the three women with different colors and patterns on their clothes have a sense of beauty that makes people forget to leave.
Qingdeng felt the jealous gaze falling on him becoming heavier and heavier...
In this way, the three women and Qingdeng sat side by side and accepted the blessings of those who came up to offer the toast.
…
"Tangerine-kun! Congratulations!"
Hideyuki Arima held up his wine glass with a smile and offered his sincere blessings to Aonto.
Next to him, Inoya Hanjirō and Ushiyama Masaji immediately picked up their wine glasses.
The three of them drank it all in one go.
At the same time, Qingdeng also raised his glass and drank freely, until water lines dripped from the corners of his mouth.
After putting down the wine glass, Arima Hideyuki murmured with mixed feelings:
"Longzhi would be very happy if he saw you getting married..."
Takayuki—that is, Ayoto’s deceased father, Tachibana Takayuki.
When Qingdeng heard this, he chuckled a few times.
About a month ago, even though he knew that the invitation would not receive any response, Aomori asked someone to deliver his wedding invitation to Tachibana Takayuki's grave.
Inoya Hanjiro, who had drunk a lot of wine and was already a little unconscious, burped and stammered:
"Tachibana, Mr. Tachibana...hiccup...! You must have a son soon!"
As soon as these words came out, the three women's faces turned slightly red.
Qingdeng laughed dumbly and brought up this topic half-jokingly:
"Well, I'll try my best."
…
Since the opening banquet started, there has been an endless stream of people coming to toast the bride and groom.
The generals of the Shinsengumi, the feudal lords headed by Matsudaira Yoshiho, old acquaintances headed by Arima Hideyuki... one after another. There are so many that even Ayono can't remember the specific ones.
Anyway, as long as someone comes over,
Faced with the toasts from the guests, the woman can use the method of "sipping the wine lightly" to get over it.
The same cannot be said for men.
As long as someone came to toast, he would toast quickly and simply... and so on.
Unknowingly, a large number of empty wine bottles had accumulated beside his legs.
After drinking so much, even with the blessing of "Bacchus + 3", he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
Finally, the flow of people coming up to toast finally subsided.
Qingdeng waited for a while, but no one came forward.
Most of the familiar relatives and friends have already toasted.
It's quite boring to sit like this all the time.
As a result, Qingdeng stood up and took away a bottle of wine - he was going to walk directly among the guests to see if there were any relatives or friends who had not yet drank with each other.
The current shrine has lost its previous solemnity.
Looking up, there are shouts and laughter everywhere.
Under the influence of alcohol, everyone gradually shed their "disguise" and showed their true side.
Some drunk people even performed funny dances in public.
Thanks to this noisy and chaotic environment, Qingdeng was able to cleverly hide himself and prevent too many people from discovering him.
Just when Qingdeng was scanning his eyes, looking for acquaintances——
"Ju-kun, congratulations! I wish you a happy wedding!"
Qingdeng was stunned for a moment, then excitedly followed the sound - what caught his eye was a middle-aged couple holding each other's arms.
"Mr. Gumu! Miss Gumu!"
Qingdeng said hello and stepped forward to meet him.
This middle-aged couple is none other than Goro Komaki and Machi Komaki.
"Mr. Gu Mu, I knew you would come!"
Komu Goro smiled slightly:
"There's no way we won't come, right? After all, this is your wedding to Kinoshita Mai."
As soon as he finished speaking, A-Machi followed closely:
"I like attending other people's weddings the most. Whenever I see a beautiful woman wearing white clothes, I feel happy."
Looking at the couple in front of him, Qingdeng couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, his time with them was far from long.
It's hard to say whether they are friends or not.
However, the strange thing is that Goro Komaki always gives Qingden an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Under the influence of this strange emotion, Qingdeng had a high impression of this couple.
Seeing that they also came to attend his wedding, Qingdeng was sincerely happy.
At this time, out of the blue, Goro Komaki suddenly changed into a meaningful tone and said quietly:
"Tachibana-kun, I'll tell you the truth - I've heard many times before that you have a very ambiguous relationship with Chiba Sanako and Okita Souji."
"I once thought about it: Who will you choose to be your first wife in the end?"
"I never thought... you would actually choose 'I want them all'."
"I can be considered a well-informed person."
"However, this wedding of 'three brides at the same time'... is really the first time I have seen it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingdeng, the hind leg, said in a joking tone:
"Then, from today on, your and my life experiences will become richer!"
Qingdeng originally wanted to chat a few more words with Gu Mu and his wife.
But at this moment, his sharp eyes suddenly spotted a particularly familiar petite figure.
This figure was wandering not far away, quite conspicuous.
He looked intently and quickly confirmed the other party's identity.
Petite body, cute appearance, and arrogant expression - there is no doubt that this is Aoto's senior in Shin Omachi Ban: Yae.
It seems that Yae deliberately let Qingto discover her.
She stood not far from Qingdeng with her hands on her hips, staring straight at Qingdeng.
After Qingdeng found her, she immediately waved to Qingdeng, then turned and left.
Yae and her sister Saege are close confidants and bodyguards of Tianzhangin.
Now that Yae appeared here... Qingto instantly understood something.
"Sorry, Mr. Gu Mu, I'll excuse you now!"
After leaving these words, Aoden walked around Komaki Goro's side and chased Yae with rapid strides.
Goro Komaki turned his head and glanced at Qingden's quickly retreating back.
Suddenly, as if he sensed something, he raised his eyebrows suddenly, and then slowly said with a strange expression:
"Kuroro, long time no see."
A second ago, there was no one beside Komaki Goro.
But at this second, Boss Kiryu suddenly appeared beside him! Standing side by side with him!
"Well, long time no see. Are you okay?"
*******

The next chapter is the wedding night, so next..."Xing Love Chapter" is officially launched! (Baohan.jpg)
Well, there is no way there will be content in this area... (Leopard's head in tears.jpg)
