Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"There is no fried chicken either." Fuma Kotaro thought for a moment, "There is a whole chicken, but it is roasted. I don't know if the kitchen has ketchup and black pepper, but we have prepared Japanese soy sauce and wasabi."

"Isn't that stuff just dipped in sashimi and live octopus? You Japanese really have a strong taste for it." Deputy Minister Karl showed an expression of unabashed disgust.

"There are also sushi and nigiri." Fuma Kotaro added, "Don't worry, the chefs we hired have rich experience in state banquets and can satisfy all the tastes you want."

"Then I want sushi stuffed with French fries and dipped in sweet and spicy sauce!" A researcher raised his hand to express his unique eating habits.

"I want Angus steak flavor, medium rare. It would be better if there are pickle slices!" Another researcher made a more demanding request.

"Sucker's finger original chicken, I want finger suck's original chicken flavored sushi. Any flavor you want can satisfy you. My request shouldn't be too much, right?" A researcher who is a loyal fan of KFC expressed his persistence in sucking finger's original chicken.

These researchers took advantage of the Snake Qiba family's respect and indulgence to make all kinds of unsatisfactory and rude demands. They seemed not to understand what emotional intelligence was at all, exposing the nature of their neurosis at a glance.

The demands became more and more outrageous, until a researcher shouted with a voice that covered the entire audience: "It doesn't matter the taste. If the chef's skills are really good enough, just help me shape the sushi into the shape of Hatsune Miku. I want a long white tube with twin tails." Socks look!”

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent, and all the researchers' eyes fell on him invariably. After a long dead silence, these guys suddenly broke out into a uniform, all-encompassing shout.

"Hatsune Miku, twin tails, white stockings! Hatsune Miku, twin tails, white stockings!" The psychos raised their hands and shouted, just like an ancient tribe meeting a mysterious code, properly large The scene of atavism.

Even the vice-principal raised his arms and shouted: "Hatsune Miku, twin ponytails, white stockings, V-neck!"

He also secretly added a request. It is unimaginable that an old guy at this age actually knows what Hatsune Miku is.

Both uncle and aunt were frightened by this battle, while Angers was full of black lines. He really wanted to say that he didn't know these guys and had nothing to do with Kassel College, but his authority was not enough To expel so many important cadres from the college... why not activate "Time Zero" and silence them all?

"Fortunately, no one invited me to this school at that time." Lu Mingze also felt deeply.

"Be good, even if they offer a scholarship of 100,000 yuan a year, we won't go." Auntie was afraid that Lu Mingze would be scared, so she protected her son behind her. She was fortunate that Professor Guderian came to pick up Lu Mingfei two years ago. , I didn’t take Lu Mingze with me.

Chapter 887 Wedding Qualifications

Crazy, uncle and aunt were very sure at this moment, those men with ill-fitting suits, messy hair, dark circles under their eyes, and "I am a dead nerd" written all over their faces, are all out-and-out crazy!

If there are no normal people, there will be no normal people in Kassel College! From top to bottom, inside and out, it is a complete concentration camp for lunatics!

Recalling that my nephew and his classmates all became cowherds after coming to Japan, would a normal school allow students to be cowherds? He also dealt with the underworld. If it were any other university, such a rebellious child would have been expelled long ago, right?

That principal... Now my uncle, aunt, and even Principal Angers can't tell whether he is a normal person. Maybe he is pretending?

Probably!

After all, who in a normal school would cooperate with the underworld? The principal seems to be so familiar with the heads of the Sheqiba family. Even the respected old head of the family, Fuma Kotaro, treats him with respect. He may be a ruthless old guy in nature. ? The more perfect a person looks on the outside, the more likely there is a devil living inside! This is what the book says, and it is also how it is played in the movie. Many high-ranking and seemingly amiable old people turn out to be villains who are extremely perverted to the core!

Thinking like this, their uncle and aunt unconsciously pulled Lu Mingze and Principal Anger away from each other.

Angers certainly noticed the change in his uncle and aunt's mood. He touched the folding knife in his cuffs, and seemed to be thinking that if these black sheep of the academy were dealt with as quickly as possible, would his expensive custom-made suit be able to be replaced? Got blood on it.

"Um, Mr. Feng Mo, when will Mingfei's wedding officially start?" Auntie seized an opportunity and asked Feng Mo Kotaro.

"All the important guests have arrived. We just need to wait for the bride and groom to get ready before the wedding ceremony can begin." Fuma Kotaro patiently explained to his aunt.

"Mingfei and Eriki are already making preparations, right?" said the aunt. She looked at the vast crowd of thousands of people, and said worriedly, "With so many people getting married, are they pretending to be here?" What’s next? If there are too many people there, won’t the scene be a bit chaotic?”

"Don't worry about this." Fuma Kotaro comforted, "Most of them are just offering their blessings for the wedding. Of course, the Snake Qihachi family will entertain them with the highest-level banquet, but not everyone will participate in witnessing the wedding. ceremony."

"Not everyone will participate in the ceremony? What do you mean?" Auntie was stunned, "Is it possible that some people are still blocked outside?"

"These things..." Before Fuma Kotaro could finish his words, he was interrupted by other movements.

The old man in white robes walked out of the main entrance of the main hall. He stood in the torii gate, glanced at everyone silently, and then said slowly: "The bride and groom are ready. Please gather your family, relatives and friends here. Press Admission in order.”

In order? As expected, Japanese weddings have a lot of rules. It’s just about entering the venue, but it’s time to start arranging the order.

"You mean we're about to enter, right? Mr. Fuma, can you go first?" Uncle asked Fuma Kotaro tentatively.

"Well, the wine priest came to inform me that it is indeed time to enter." Fuma Kotaro nodded and said to his uncle and aunt, "I can't stand at the front of the line, so I need you two to enter first."

"The rules here are so strict. Just entering the door requires a pat on the back." Auntie thought for a while, and it seemed that there was almost a hierarchy of seniority in China. She said hello, "Then I'll go talk to Chen Chu. Let's talk to them and we'll go in first, and we'll meet inside later?"

"I don't think you need to make a special trip to tell me." Fuma Kotaro suddenly spoke, and he stopped his aunt, "Because during the wedding ceremony, your friends are not allowed to enter the temple."

"Ah?" Auntie was stunned, looking at Fuma Kotaro's serious face, "You mean, Director Chen and his wife can't get in, and there's no way to see Mingfei and the others getting married, and Jia Jia can't get in either? "

"Yes, generally speaking, this is a traditional wedding in front of a god. The number of people entering the main hall during the wedding time is limited, otherwise the parents would not deliberately clear the Meiji Shrine in advance." Fuma Kotaro said in a serious tone, "In other words, the number of people eligible to visit this wedding is very limited."

"So strict?" Auntie was shocked by the complicated rules.

She turned her head and glanced at the crowd behind her. Fuma Kotaro meant that most of the people here were not qualified to witness the wedding? I just heard that a large group of people here came from all over Japan just to attend this wedding. But when the real wedding ceremony began, they were all turned away and were not even qualified to watch?

This is too...inhumane!

What do they do during the wedding ceremony? Just stand dryly at the door and wait? Isn’t it true that there are many big shots here, such as the president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the governor of Tokyo, and gang presidents here and there... These big shots are not qualified, either? Are you willing to take the time to stand at the door? Then wouldn’t these big shots feel uncomfortable?

My aunt put herself in her shoes and thought about it. If she was invited to a wedding, but at the end of the wedding ceremony, they just arranged for you to stand at the door, and the bride and groom could not see each other. She felt that she would either go crazy on the spot, or directly Turn around and leave...

"Don't worry, your family was invited to the wedding by the Snake Qihachi family. You should be the guests." Fuma Kotaro seemed to see his aunt's worry, so he took the initiative to explain, "Everyone in the family who takes the initiative to invite will Being allowed to enter the main hall during the wedding ceremony is something the Snake Qihachi family understands."

"Mr. Feng Mo, what you mean is that those people who are not allowed to visit the wedding were not invited by you?" Auntie understood.

"Yes, everyone said that a formal wedding needs to be solemn, but the scale does not need to be large, so the number of people officially invited by the Sheqi Eighth Family is not very large, and there are even fewer people like you who are personally invited by the parents." Fuma Kotaro Nodding, "As for the others, they all came to the wedding on their own initiative. They are all locals and understand the rules of a god-style wedding, so what the Snake Qiba family did was both reasonable and reasonable."

"Oh oh oh, you mean, before these people came, they knew that they wouldn't be able to see the wedding ceremony, right?" Aunt thought again, and it was true that the Eight Sheqi Families only invited her family, and as for Director Chen's family, she just invited them along.

If those Japanese dignitaries weren't eligible to attend the wedding, what made Director Chen's family so special? They weren't relatives or close friends of Lu Mingfei and Eri, so why should they suddenly take up three precious spots?

"Yes, these rules are customary, and everyone who attends the wedding knows them well." Fuma Kotaro said, "From the perspective of Mr. Lu Mingfei and the head of the Uesugi family, they probably don't want their wedding to be chaotic and noisy. The so-called love is enough to be witnessed by the people you care about."

"It makes sense, Mr. Fuma has experience." Uncle agreed with Kotaro Fuma's statement.

"Ahem." The wine priest behind the torii coughed twice and raised his voice to remind everyone, "The bride and groom are ready. Guests attending the wedding ceremony, please line up to enter."

"Please come in." Fuma Kotaro nodded again to his uncle and aunt.

The uncle and aunt looked at each other and walked towards the torii gate with some heavy steps. Men in black suits were still standing in front of the torii gate, lined up along the way.

Then came the principal and vice-principal of Kassel College, followed by the heads of the Sheqihachi family, and then followed by Professor Guderian, the elders of the Sheqihachi family, Humpback Whale and Noda Hisashi. of non-staff were at the end of the queue.

Everyone found their position very accurately and did not need to be reminded. They formed a long column. Only the uncle, aunt and Lu Mingze at the front felt a little scared. There were thousands of people in front of them and thousands of people behind them. , where have they ever added such a grand display?

Moreover, the thousands of men in black clothes in front of them all looked fierce and sinister, and their expressions were stern. Where had I seen such characters in that small coastal town? The people behind are even more terrifying. They are all well-known big shots in Japan. They are not even qualified to enter this torii gate.

When the uncle and aunt at the front of the queue passed in front of the men in black, the men suddenly made a sudden movement, which shocked the uncle and aunt, and Lu Mingze also let out a strange scream like a killing pig.

But just bending down, a standard deep bow, each person's body and legs are at a precise ninety degrees. In the center of Japan's traditional culture, this is a high respect. No wonder uncles and aunts feel that these people look like well-trained people. The army, because their bowing movements are so standard and uniform, you can definitely feel the momentum when standing in front of them. They bowed in the same way, like two turbulent waves suddenly rolling in, one of those fierce heads He kept his head low and walked through the two-meter-wide path formed between these men in black. It was difficult for anyone to feel the solemn and solemn aura.

"The child's father...is this, is he saluting us?" the aunt asked the uncle in a low voice.

But it was so quiet in front of the torii gate. Even if there were thousands of people gathered here, there was almost no sound except the footsteps and the chirping of birds in the forest. So even if my aunt's voice was very low, she could still hear it. The volume of the sudden words still shocked her.

"Damn it, please keep your voice down." The uncle lowered his voice and said to the aunt, "This is not necessarily a salute to us. Aren't there many people behind us, the principal, the head of the family, etc. Yes, maybe it’s because they have more rules here, and the Japanese have more rules.”

"But I just think they are bowing to us. Aren't we at the front of this line?" Walking in the aisle of men in black, my aunt whispered, "I'm a little curious. What's behind us?" What is it like now?”

"Don't look back, don't look back!" Uncle reminded, "That's too rude!"

In fact, the uncle also wanted to look back, because he felt that the scene behind him must be spectacular. The uncle had never seen such a big scene in his life. He could be at the front of thousands of people. Looking back, wouldn't it be a sea of ​​people... But the uncle couldn't help but say something in his heart. He was even more afraid that when he turned around, he would see thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him. His legs would probably be weak because he didn't know who to look at.

So behind them, there were thousands of pairs of eyes staring at their backs. The more they thought about it, the more uncle and aunt couldn't control their curiosity. It was like there were thousands of ants crawling behind them, and they felt itchy in their hearts.

When they passed the torii gate of the main shrine, their uncle and aunt finally couldn't restrain their inner curiosity and looked back. This sight was something they would never forget.

In front of the huge torii gate, thousands of men in black kept their bows and said nothing. The scene was solemn like a religious ceremony, because the men on the hillside were all bent over. You can see people in formal attire stretching one kilometer down the hillside along the south shrine, like a dense flock of crows. Their eyes are silently directed towards the torii gate on the top of the slope and the shrine behind it, like devout believers. They were worshiping something noble. The uncle and aunt felt numb when they saw this scene, and something called "majesty" exploded in their hearts.

Director Chen, Mrs. Chen and Jiajia could no longer be seen. They were like inconspicuous ants, completely submerged in the sea of ​​​​people. In the crowd, uncle and aunt caught a glimpse of a few big shots that Fuma Kotaro had just mentioned emphatically. The top lawyer of Nishimura Law Firm, the president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the governor of Tokyo... These people who are famous, wealthy or have status gather in the crowd, looking at this place from a distance, regardless of their fame at this moment Neither wealth nor status allowed them to climb this hillside, which was only a few dozen meters away. Seeing this scene in the afternoon, uncle and aunt felt a strange mood at the same time.

This feeling is called honor.

Now that things have happened, they finally understand what an amazing being their nephew has become. With just a little bit of his peripheral vision, they can leave these usually aloof big shots far behind.

Is this really just a wedding ceremony? It looks more like a change of authority in this country.

……

Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi, wearing different clothes, stood in front of the main hall door, and a long queue came into their sight.

"Let's go." Lu Mingfei took Eli Yi's hand. To be honest, he was a little nervous, but the strength from Eli Yi's palm made him feel at ease.

"Before the toasting ceremony, the bride and groom are not allowed to hold hands." The young priest on the side reminded in a low voice.

Chapter 888 The most beautiful thing in the world

"Ah, I'm sorry, I don't understand this very well." Lu Mingfei replied apologetically, reluctant to let go of Eli Yi's hand.

But to Lu Mingfei's surprise, Hui Liyi used her backhand to tighten her grip on Lu Mingfei's hand. She looked at the young priest and said lightly: "I will hold him."

The young priest showed a surprised expression. He didn't know why a girl who looked so well-behaved suddenly became willful.

According to the rules of the wedding in front of the gods, the groom and the bride cannot have physical contact at all before asking the gods to bless them. When the wine priest just walked out of the main hall, the wedding ceremony officially started. The wedding in the front of the gods should follow strict rules. Harsh steps...but the other party's identity was the head of the Uesugi family, and the young priest did not dare to reprimand her in a harsh tone. He could not afford to offend her.

"But...but..." The young priest was in a dilemma.

"It doesn't matter, whatever Eriki wants to do, just do it according to her ideas." A young voice came from the main hall, coming to the rescue of the young priest, "Brother set the wedding venue at Meiji Shrine, but did not explicitly say this It’s a wedding in the style of God, so we don’t have to ask the bride and groom to follow the standards of God.”

"Yes, yes, I understand." The young priest said respectfully.

In the distance, you can see a long queue coming from the torii gate to the main hall. The two people at the head of the queue have already crossed the gate of the main hall wall. Lu Mingfei holds Eri Yi's hand and welcomes them.

"Uncle, aunt." Lu Mingfei smiled and greeted his uncle and aunt. He was quite happy. Although he had never had a wedding like a god, Lu Mingfei at least knew what it meant to be at the head of the queue on such an occasion.

Principal Ange, the heads of the Sheqiba family and the elders all lined up behind the uncle and aunt. This arrangement of the Sheqiba family really gave them face.

"Mingfei, Hui Liyi, what you are wearing looks great!" Aunt looked at the clothes on Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi, her eyes full of novelty.

Lu Mingfei was wearing dark-colored haori clothing with a white kimono underneath. This was the most popular kami-style ceremonial attire among the families of military attachés in the Muromachi period of Japan, and Eri was also wearing the "white kimono" commonly worn by brides at kami-style weddings underneath. Immaculate” dress.

But the "Shiro no Ku" suit worn by Eri is different. The hem of this dress is sewn with red silk thread. The overall look is just like the red and white suit that Eri often wears. Miko clothes, Eryi just saw this dress, and she was very happy when she knew she was going to wear this to marry Lu Mingfei, because it was Eryi's favorite color.

Eli Yi and Lu Mingfei also dressed like this when they first met. The crimson red and clean white are really suitable for this innocent girl. However, their uncle and aunt have never seen Eli Yi dressed like this. I feel that this girl is really old-fashioned when she dresses like this, like a real witch who came out of the mountains.

Needless to say, this must be Yuan Zhisheng's design. No one knows Eli Yi's preferences better than him except Lu Mingfei. I have to say that this brother really did everything for his sister's wedding, from the entire wedding process From the color design of the dress, he paid no attention to every detail.

In fact, in addition to catering to Eriyi's preferences, Minamoto's design should also have her own selfish motives.

In Shinto belief, white symbolizes the purity of the bride, and the pure white dress means that the bride's personality is like a blank sheet of paper. All the bad habits and interpersonal relationships developed in her natal family will be erased, and she is waiting to learn from her husband's family. All family traditions and customs are like a piece of white paper waiting to be dyed again, so the wedding in front of the gods is a symbol of the beginning of a new life, and also represents the end of the original old life... For ancient Japanese women, getting married means leaving the past. A complete farewell, starting from the wedding, a new life will begin.

And the "white dirt" on Eriyi's body is stained with other variegated colors, which means that Minamoto Zhisheng does not want Eriyi to become a piece of white paper. He does not want this girl to deny her life of the past twenty years... ...Even a lonely life, a life spent in a small, isolated room like a grid, is evidence of Eriki's existence.

Lu Mingfei had no objection to this at all, and even felt that he wanted to be closer to Yuan Zhisheng... Eryi has such a caring brother, as her future husband, how can I compare you to him!

Eri wears a pure white brocade hat on her head. This hat looks really cute on her head. According to the god-like belief, this hat can protect the bride from the devil. In fact, its actual function is to prevent the cold. The clothing used metaphorically is like the veil of a Western wedding dress. It is used to slightly cover the bride's face from the beginning to the end of the wedding ceremony, so that only the groom can see it.

Before Lu Mingfei could say a few words to his aunt, a figure slowly walked over from the side hall. He walked delicately towards Hui Liyi and put a colorful and exquisite little coat on Hui Liyi's body.

"It was just finished over there. Your brother asked me to deliver it for you." Uesugoshi showed a fatherly smile that he had never seen before towards Eriko.

"Thank you, dad." Eriyi also smiled.

Uesugoshi froze for a moment and turned his head away. The corners of his mouth were grinning almost to the base of his ears. The nails in his sleeves were pinching his flesh hard. The words "Dad" from Erashi almost made him faint.

"I'll ask you to deliver the clothes in person, please." Lu Mingfei rushed to Shangyue and bowed slightly.

Uesugoshi's eyes fell on Lu Mingfei. He originally wanted to say something bad about this kid, but when he thought that his uncle, aunt, teacher and principal were all behind him, and today was such an important day, Uesugoshi said a few bad words. He suppressed his anger and said with a straight face: "Well, not bad, I finally look like a man."

"Thank you, your way of complimenting others is quite unusual." Lu Mingfei also held back his bad words and did not dare to say them.

In the end, Yue Uesugi patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder a few times in an affirmative manner, and this tactful conversation ended. As for the force of Yue Uesugi's pats, you can tell by looking at the pain in Lu Mingfei's expression when he coughed.

When their uncle and aunt saw Uesugi Koshi coming, they immediately made way for him in the queue. After all, they were just Lu Mingfei's elders, not his parents. They had met Uesugi Koshi and knew that he was Eriki's biological father. Knowing that this was a super important person who could donate a large piece of land worth more than one billion U.S. dollars with just a wave of his hand, the uncle and aunt thought that they must maintain respect for this old gentleman... In fact, both of them were a little frightened.

But Uesugi Yue shook his head, walked around to the other side of his uncle and aunt, stood in a row with his uncle and aunt, and stood directly behind Eri.

"Why don't you stand in the front?" the uncle asked Uesugi Yue in a low voice.

"That's good. The elders of the two children can be with them." Uesugi shook his head and his voice floated to the front.

Lu Mingfei's heart moved, and his eyes were a little sore. He felt the force coming from his hand, and Eriyi's emotions were also a little unstable, because Uesugoshi's words were too lethal to the two lonely children. Big.

In a person's life, many major events may be able to be overcome by oneself, such as going to and from school alone, going to the hospital alone, or even attending a wedding or funeral alone, but if you can occasionally find someone to accompany or rely on, even just once or twice , a child's lonely life can also be cast with a light layer of happiness.

"Eri's clothes look pretty good in this dress." The socialite uncle was afraid that the atmosphere would be too dry, so he took the initiative to find a topic to praise Eri's clothes, "It's very exquisite. Is it purely hand-sewn?"

"This dress is called 'Color Uchikake'. It originated from the Muromachi period and was a popular dress during the Ooku period. The piece on Erashi's body was handmade by twelve craftsmen. This was my idea." Uesugoshi explained, "Only If it's 'White', the color is still too monotonous. On festive days, you should wear more festive colors."

"Oh oh oh, it turns out there is such a far-reaching background. You have such a good taste." The uncle nodded, not because he was trying to flatter Sugoshi, but mainly because the "Shiro Uchikake" on Eri's body was too exquisite. , almost like a work of art stolen from a museum stand.

"This dress is certainly not cheap!" Auntie thought this jacket would cost at least thousands of dollars.

"Fortunately, it's not expensive." Uesugoshi said lightly, but did not mention the specific number.

If you tell me, you will probably scare your aunt to death!

The origin of "Uchikake" dates back to the Muromachi period. At that time, wealthy samurai women would wear coats on the kimonos with small sleeves underneath from autumn to spring. Because of the thick material, they had a thermal effect. Until the Edo period, Ookuzhong shen Women with higher status, superior female officials and public women will also wear "daqi" to highlight their status.

Until the late Edo period, some women from wealthy families also used "Ukake" as wedding clothes. It seems that "Ukake" is a special dress for women with high status, but this is not entirely true, except for women with high status. It was a group of otakus and courtesans in Yoshiwara and Kyoshimahara in Edo who really started to wear "Ukake" among the people. The "Ukake" was modified and became their orthodox dress. Their gorgeous appearance made Edo people Commoner women are fascinated by it, but a piece of "double hanging" is worth a lot of money and is definitely not something ordinary families can afford. Therefore, it has become an exclusive garment for women in upper-class society, so that they can be as dazzling, gorgeous and seductive as court ladies. people.
