Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Entering the shrine, Shirakawa Feng and Tanaka Yuko first bowed slightly to the main hall of the shrine at the gazebo, which is a ritual of participation.

After entering the main hall, the priests sing congratulations, report the good news of the couple's marriage to the gods and pray for them.

All the guests attending the wedding sit on both sides, and they all dress up in kimono.

Bai Chuanfeng and Tanaka Yuko sat kneeling in the center of the lobby, with a desk in front of them.

There are two cups on it, and a goddess in a white priestess costume is holding a copper pot to fill the cups with wine.

This is the ritual of three offerings in front of the gods. The bride and groom drink three cups alternately, and drink each cup three times.

A toast to heaven, a toast to earth, and a toast to people. Sip nine times, also known as "339 degrees".

Every action, every process is very particular, the wedding before the gods is so solemn and full of sense of ceremony.

After drinking three glasses of wine, the two maidens held chrysanthemums and performed a "prosperity dance" to bless the bride and groom.

According to the ceremony, Shirakawa Kaede and Tanaka Yuko also read an oath to the statue, and finally completed the prayer with "husband Shirakawa Kaede, wife Hiroko May 25, Showa 58".

The read poems need to be put on the case table and dedicated to the gods, along with the branches of poplar trees and ribbons woven from paper strips.

This step is called jade string offering, which aims to express to the gods that they have concluded a strong contract with each other, and express thanks and prayers.

After finishing this, Bai Chuanfeng and Tanaka Yuko stretched out their hands, clapped their hands twice, and then bowed in salute.

So far, most of the process of the pre-shrine wedding has been completed, but with the westernization of modern neon lights.

Another step is added to the wedding process before the last god, that is, the bride and groom exchange tokens with each other.

It could be a ring, or something else.

But Bai Chuanfeng and the others didn't choose a ring, it was reserved for the Western-style wedding in Tokyo.

After the salute, the two faced each other. Bai Chuanfeng took Yuko Tanaka's left hand and put a red rope buckle into her little finger, and gently pulled the ends of the rope on both sides to tighten it.

Then Yuko Tanaka did the same thing, tying a red rope buckle on his little finger.

So far, the red thread is connected, and the marriage is connected.

After completing the ceremony, the two turned around and bowed to the guests sitting on both sides.

Clap, clap, everyone gave with applause of blessings.

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

At this point, the pre-sacred wedding has gone through all the procedures, and then everyone will go to the town hall to start the wedding banquet.

However, it is rare to hold a traditional wedding, and various group photos outside the shrine are naturally indispensable.

After more than half an hour of tossing, everyone began to turn back to the street.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Chuanfeng and Tanaka Yuko also returned home for a rare moment of respite.

"How about it, can you still hold on?" Bai Chuanfeng took her hand and sat down on the chair.

Now they have changed into a set of clothes. Although they are still kimonos, they are much more relaxed than the specific kimonos with a strong sense of ceremony just now.

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

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

After all, if she is pregnant, her physical strength must not be as good as before.

However, it was already noon, and they returned to the guild hall after a short break to welcome the guests.

Most of the weddings here in Akita are relatives and friends from Xiaolu.

Of course, local politicians and businessmen represented by Kikuji Sasaki also came to join in.

The rising market value of Baichuan Electric is the best business card.

If there is no accident, a new family will rise in Neon again. What is even more rare is that such a family comes from the Northeast, which has always been lagging behind economically.

Therefore, if there are prominent figures in several counties in the Northeast, they will more or less come to support them.

The marriage of Bai Chuanfeng marks the official appearance of the Bai Chuan family.

Get married and start a business, and with a family, there is a foundation for family continuity.

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

He was telling the powerful clan here in the Northeast that the Bai Chuan family will be regarded as setting up a flag in the future.

As Bai Chuan Feng's hometown, here will also be the foundation of the Bai Chuan family in the future, and it will be the rear of the Bai Chuan Group.

The appearance of the governor Sasaki Kikuji and many congressmen shows that they recognize the status of the Shirakawa family in Akita.

With the current size of Shirakawa Holdings, no, just Shirakawa Electric, it has no comparable existence in Akita.

Of course, Bai Chuan Feng invested a lot here, not to mention the various factories of Bai Chuan Electric and Bai Chuan Energy.

Railways, banks, the development of the entire Kazuno city, the donation and cooperation of several universities in Akita, and even real estate development have all begun to be involved.

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

Although some projects do not make money, this is the necessary foundation for the Shirakawa family to rule Akita, so don't worry about some immediate interests.

With the pretext of the wedding, Bai Chuanfeng also met with the prominent family here in Akita.

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

Infrastructure projects such as banking, energy, and railways have all been put on the table.

It's not far to go alone, and Bai Chuanfeng doesn't have that much ability to take care of everything in Akita.

That being the case, wouldn't it be good for everyone to build a good relationship and make a fortune together?

For the raw materials needed by Baichuan Electric Factory, all those present here who are capable can raise their hands.

The Antlers Resort still lacks a few shopping malls to stay in. Those who are engaged in retail business may as well come to my place to sign up, and rest assured that there will be discounts on the rent.

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

You see, after careful calculation, everyone has something to earn.

Give some benefits and appease the hearts of the local prominent families, and the Baichuan family can be regarded as getting the support of all the small families here in Akita.

However, it was these prominent families who troubled Bai Chuanfeng, who praised Bai Chuanfeng for inheriting the excellent blood of the Tozawa family.

Why is Masaki Tozawa's elegant demeanor back then, he is the master of the revival of the Tozawa family's comeback, and so on.

This kind of praise made Bai Chuanfeng quite depressed, I am clearly surnamed Bai Chuan, okay?

Tozawa Masaki is my grandfather, not my grandfather, why does it feel like he has inherited Tozawa's legacy.

Bai Chuanfeng expressed his displeasure at this. These old-fashioned people are still holding on to their former glory and dreaming of returning to the pinnacle of the Chinese race.

Don't even look at the age, you like to pay attention to family reputation and qualifications, don't you?

Okay, after the meeting ended that day, Bai Chuanfeng gave an order to Akita and all the industries under Bai Chuan Holdings.

In the future, all external business activities will be accompanied by the Maple Leaf family crest of the Bai Chuan family.

From banks to railways, to shopping malls and streets, as long as the tentacles can touch them, add them all.

He didn't believe it anymore, ten or twenty years later, the name of Bai Chuan still won't be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Akita?

Bai Chuanfeng once said to his cheap uncle that in the future, Bai Chuan's reputation will not be worse than that of ordinary Chinese.

Now here in Akita is just the beginning, and the word "Shirakawa" will be more involved in all aspects of people's lives in the future.

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

But Bai Chuanfeng and the others won't stay here for a long time, the wedding in Tokyo, the invitations have already been sent out and will be held in three days.

At that time, his parents will also go to stay together for a day or two. After all, how can the wedding be done without the parents of both parties.

The morning before his departure, Bai Chuanfeng's family was sitting together having breakfast lively.

It was Ashin played by Yuko Tanaka who was playing on the TV, and he was very embarrassed about Yuko Tanaka on the screen.

On the contrary, Kazuko praised her for her good performance very gently, the ancestors of the Bai Chuan family were not nobles. Bai Chuanfeng is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't have any sect views.

Even when Kazuko saw the scene where Yuko Tanaka ran away from the landlord's house through mountains and rivers, he couldn't help but shed tears.

At first, Bai Chuanfeng thought she was moved by the plot, but seeing her mother crying more and more sad, Bai Chuanfeng and Tanaka Yuko looked at each other and looked at their father.

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

It was also at this dinner table that Bai Chuanfeng heard for the first time about his mother and father when they were young.

In fact, Bai Chuanfeng had also guessed from the words of his cheap uncle and his parents.

My own mother, that is, Hezi, was indeed considered to be the lady of the landlord's family when she was young.

After all, the feudal lord of Xinzhuang in Yamagata Prefecture can be regarded as a wealthy family.

In particular, the ancestor was famous. At that time, the northeast area of ​​Akita and Yamagata had always been the inherent territory of the Tozawa clan.

However, with the Meiji Restoration and subsequent reforms, the local fan owners lost their power and the Chinese gradually weakened.

Masaki Tozawa is also Bai Chuanfeng's grandfather, and he is considered to be the last head of the Tozawa family with political talents.

After his hard work, although the Tozawa family has suffered losses, at least the foundation is still there.

Compared to many Chinese who disappeared without a trace or even disappeared from generation to generation, what he has done is already good enough.

However, individual talents cannot resist the general trend, and decline is inevitable.

But this is not what worries him the most. What really bothers him is his own idiot son.

With the increase of age, Tozawa Masaki's worries became more and more intense.

Since the son is not good enough, he can only find a way to use his daughter to ensure the continuation of the Tozawa family.

It just so happened that the contemporary patriarch of the Sakai family in the Shonai Domain needed to marry a wife and renew his family, so he happened to fall in love with Kazuko.

Tozawa Masaki was very excited when he first heard the request from the Sakai family.

The Shonai domain of the Sakai family and the Shinjo domain of the Tozawa family belong to Yamagata Prefecture, and they are considered neighbors.

But the Sakai family is not limited to this. The families that have continued from the Kaito family include 3 earl families, 4 viscount families, and 2 baron families.

There is no doubt that the family line is huge and the roots are deep.

If Tozawa has Sakai's support, then no matter how stupid his son is, it should be no problem to support the next generation.

But looking at Kazuko who is charming and innocent, Tozawa Masaki hesitated in his heart.

Originally, it was normal for women to marry for the continuation of the family, but the current head of the Sakai family is the continuation, and he himself is over sixty years old.

Tozawa Masaki couldn't bear to marry his precious daughter of seventeen or eighteen to a bad old man in his sixties.

At this time, Tozawa Masaki, whose body was getting weaker and weaker, was bedridden all day, worried, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

And Masao Tozawa is Bai Chuanfeng's cheap uncle, and he did not know where he got the news.

Although he doesn't have political talent, he also knows what the Sakai family represents.

So without Tozawa Masaki's permission, he imprisoned his older sister, namely Kazuko.

When Masao Tozawa was about to wait for the Sakai family to come again, he offered the heavily tied Kazuki with both hands.

Thanks to Hezi's servants, they risked their lives to untie the rope buckle on Hezi's body at night, and quietly led her out of the back door.

Before he had time to say goodbye to his father, Kazuko fled Tokyo overnight with a few sets of clothes prepared for him by his servants.

But as the lady of a rich family, she has never gone out alone.

After much deliberation, she decided to go to Akita's Antlers. Grandpa took her there when she was a child, and Antler was still the territory of the Tozawa family at that time.

She just remembered that the people there were friendly and polite to her. So after stumbling, the Chinese lady arrived at Xiaolu in Akita after going through untold hardships.

It was there that she met Hayato Shirakawa who went hunting in the mountains, the dirty and charming lady and the honest and loyal mountain people. This was their first encounter.

The following things are the same as in the story. The young lady married the mountain people and gave birth to the protagonist Bai Chuanfeng.

And in the second year, Tozawa Masaoji found Xiaolu after asking around.

But when he saw that his sister had married a mountain man, he was furious, and without even thinking about it, he prepared to teach Hayato Shirakawa an unforgettable lesson.

However, the young and strong Hayato Shirakawa was not a vegetarian either. He raised his hunting bow and shot three consecutive shots directly at Tozawa Masasu's feet, which frightened the opponent so that he did not dare to take a step forward.

After saying a few harsh words, Masao Tozawa could only return to Tokyo in despair with his hands.

My sister is already married and has a child, and the raw rice is already cooked, so what's the use of tying her back?

And their father also passed away that year, and when Hezi fled, he had already fallen into a state of insanity, but he kept chanting his daughter's name until his death.

Later, the past and the past were broken like this, and Hezi lived in this small village at the foot of the mountain for more than 20 years.

But what happened to Ashin on TV now reminded her of the time when she fled from a refugee when she was young.

On the thousands of miles from Tokyo to Xiaolu, she suffered no less than Ashin.

Touching the scene and feeling in love, he was overjoyed when his son got married. Sorrow and joy intertwined, and Hezi couldn't restrain himself, so the tears flowed more and more.
