Warring States Eagle

Chapter 125 The Big Wedding

The news of the lord's upcoming wedding spread across the entire Luo family's territory in an instant like wings. All the retainers and citizens took to the streets to celebrate as if it was a festival.The laws of the Luo family have been implemented for several months, and these citizens have benefited to varying degrees. Coupled with the deliberate exaggeration of the detective who is in charge of monitoring the situation in the territory, in the eyes of all the citizens, Zheng Liang has become a young, brave but A wise and benevolent lord, the loyalty of the people to the Luo family is quite high, which can be seen from the prestige rate of 95 in Zhengliang's skill system.

July 1540th, the ninth year of Tianwen (28), was the day of Zhengliang's wedding.All the retainers and warriors of the Luo family came to the newly built Zhongxiao Temple in Yegao Village to attend the Lord Lord's wedding.Considering the safety issue, Zhengliang did not notify the Sashi family and the Bota family, the tycoons who had good friends, the only exception was the Kamiya family who was in cooperation, mainly because the other party's younger sister was about to marry into the Akizuki family and invited Zheng Liang to the wedding. It seems that the Kamiya family intends to introduce Luo's family to befriend Qiuyue's family. The so-called reciprocity of courtesy, Zheng Liang also invited him to his wedding.After learning of Masara's wedding, the Kamiya family sent the second batch of materials purchased by the Luo family (50 simple sets, the last 100 bows and tire bows) and a large amount of free sake, as well as a pair of Jingmei porcelain bowls as a congratulatory gift.

Originally, Zhengliang planned to simplify everything about the wedding, but Togo Heiji strongly opposed it. He proposed that the wedding be held more grandly, so that all the citizens would know that the lord has a wife. Experience the majesty of the Patriarch.But Zhengliang 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 he intends to demonstrate to Kosuke.In desperation, Zheng Liang finally agreed with Togo Heiji's proposal.

Monk Xuanru presided over the wedding.This young monk is well-known for his medical skills, and he usually treats people for free (it's a pity that Zheng Liang, the head of the family, needs to pay for the doctor of the Luo family). He has already been recognized by the people, and his prestige is quite high.But Zheng Liang felt very strange, why did the monk also become a priest?Moreover, weddings are usually held in the shrine. Now that there is no shrine in the territory, Zhongxiao Temple is used as a temporary shrine. Monk Xuanru has no objection to this, and even enthusiastically prepares the lord's wedding with Togo Heiji Come.This made Zhengliang secretly confident in his own charm.

"Newcomers enter!" Monk Xuan Ru shouted loudly.

The people standing outside the temple immediately divided into two rows, leaving a passage in the middle for the newcomers.Zhengliang settled down, and walked towards the temple, holding Dongxiangju's little hand.Today, the bride wears a white silk kimono that symbolizes innocence. Her hair is pulled up and tied tightly with a tortoise shell comb. She wears a hat called "Kakuin" to cover her bun. Covering the edges and corners” means that before marriage, the temper may be sharp and angular, but after marriage, it must be restrained, to be a docile wife and mother, and the face is painted white with powder. Wearing a white hijab and veil, it looks very different. The appearance is beautiful and moving.Zheng Liang wore a black kimono with a striped skirt underneath.

The first ceremony of the wedding is "the rite of worship".The bride and groom, their parents and the rest enter.After entering the shrine, everyone washes their hands in a clean water tray. This is the second ceremony, "The Ritual of Hands and Water".After everyone stood still, monk Xuanru, the temporary priest, chanted words.Then, Monk Xuanru prayed to the statue again. This is the "rite of congratulations". The priest notified the marriage of the two to the gods and prayed for blessings.After praying, a few maids offered three cups of wine. Zheng Liang and Ju Ji drank from three cups alternately to form a marriage contract. Because they had to drink three cups of wine three times, it was called "three three nine degrees". This is the "Three Offerings".

After drinking the three-three-nine-degree cup of wine, Zheng Liang and Ju Ji began to read the oath in front of the gods after receiving the oath from Monk Xuanru.Afterwards, he took the jade string handed over by the maid and worshiped before the god. It is said that this jade string played a role in connecting the hearts of gods and people.After the worship, drums sounded in the arena, and several little girls performed a dance. Looking at the movements, it was obviously a temporary rehearsal. I don't know who in the territory can dance like these witches.

After the Kagura ended, the wedding banquet finally began.Zheng Liang and Ju Ji changed into ordinary clothes and entertained everyone in the temporary venue of the temple.

"Hehe, Ju Ji, you have to take good care of the head of the family in the future, and give birth to a son-in-law as soon as possible." After Dongxiang Heiji and Masaragi had drank each other a few times and were toasted, their faces were already a little red.He is very satisfied with this marriage.

During the Warring States Period, the son's marriage was to marry the enemy and get the opportunity to join hands.Although the daughter's marriage is also for both parties to obtain an alliance opportunity, but the daughter is going to marry into the other's family far away, so the married daughter becomes the hostage of the other family.If the two parties break the covenant, the first one to be killed will be the daughter in his hands.Sometimes, the son also needs to be sent as a hostage to the other party for custody. As long as the other party feels that there is still potential for cooperation between the two parties, they will give their daughter to the hostage son to be his wife.Of course, this does not mean the end of being a hostage. If necessary, people will not hesitate to kill their son-in-law.At the same time, whether it is marrying a wife or a daughter, the most important point is to be of the same family.In this era, the requirements for bloodlines are very high, and "lowly" bloodlines must not contaminate "noble" bloodlines, and people with low status are not eligible to marry people with high status.The public ministers value bloodlines most, so they will never allow any problems with the bloodlines of the imperial family. The emperor's queen must be selected from the daughters of several noble families.After Tokugawa Hidetada became a general, under the instruction of his father Tokugawa Ieyasu, he married his daughter Kazuko to the emperor as the queen.It stands to reason that the Tokugawa family is a member of the world, and their actual status is far above the emperor who has no title, so it is all right to let their daughter be the queen.But with such an identity, the emperor also complained. Later, the son born to the queen died for no reason. It is said that the ministers poisoned him to prevent the prince of the Tokugawa family's low blood from ascending to the throne.

Togo Heiji is from the Togo family of Satsuma, and he can barely be called a noble blood. In fact, before being exiled, Togo Heiji planned to marry Kikuhime to the Shimadzu family, and now he married Masara by accident.And Zhengliang is a descendant of Genji (this is a rumor, Zhengliang has never admitted it, and of course he has not tried to refute the rumor. It is much more convenient to have a good background in this era), and is the head of the Luo family, fully worthy of his daughter, So Togo Heiji was very satisfied.

Dong Xiangju blushed immediately when she heard her father talking about having a child in public.

"Hahaha, Heiji-sama, you're drunk." At this time, Tsuda Hiromune, who was drinking happily, suddenly turned his head around, and laughed when he saw Togo Heiji's appearance, "Come on, come on, Let's have a few more drinks." After speaking, before Dongxiang Heiji could answer, he drank a full glass.This guy, knowing that Dongxiang Heiji was drunk, tried to persuade people to drink. It seemed that he was the one who was really drunk.

"Lord Hiromune, please pay attention to etiquette in front of the head of the family." Sasuke Gunmefuroshi appeared in time and saluted Masara respectfully, "Your Highness, congratulations on your wedding."As Masara's surname, Sasuke is respectful and loyal to Masara from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe, the leg injury is almost healed?" Zheng Liang asked.

"Yes, thanks to Your Highness for inviting Master Xuanru to settle in our home, during this period of time with the care of the master, the injury has recovered a lot," Sasuke said.His Royal Highness is able to invite such a highly respected master, he really deserves to be 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 for a day finally came to an end.Fortunately, the vassals were also very good at it, so they didn't deliberately get Zheng Liang drunk. Although the degree of sake was not high, if the vassals deliberately got drunk, Zheng Liang would sometimes get drunk with the lowest alcohol.

After taking a mandarin duck bath, the two had another passionate session on the tatami mat. When the passion was over, Ju Ji leaned softly in Zheng Liang's arms, and murmured, "Your Highness, this concubine feels very happy."

"Well, what did you call me just now?" Zheng Liang asked, scratching Ju Ji's chin lightly.

"Husband...husband" Ju Ji called out shyly.

"What did you just say? I can't hear you." Zheng Liang started to walk around Ju Ji again with his hands.

"Huh? Husband, don't make trouble." Although she has had sex with Zhengliang several times recently, Ju Ji's body is still very sensitive to Zhengliang's touch. Is there sister Miko?"

"Yeah." Zheng Liang pretended to ponder, then suddenly turned over and pressed Ju Ji under him, kissed her earlobe lightly and said in a low voice, "Then the Luo family must have an heir first, now we have to work hard."

"Ah? No... um", Ju Ji wanted to continue talking, but was quickly kissed by Zheng Liang, and then fell into Zheng Liang's fierce offensive again.
