I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"This is the home of a banner warrior with a salary of 7000 shi."

"The eldest son of this family married the eldest daughter of another Banner warrior."

"Today is the day when these two families hold their wedding."

"The bride is sitting in the cage."

After listening to the uncle's explanation, Machi's face showed a strong interest.

He hastily turned his eyes away, focused his eyes on the sedan chair, and waited for the bride to come out of the sedan chair together with the people around her.

A faint look of curiosity appeared on Ogata's face at this time.

It has been more than a year since he came to the Edo period, but he has never seen a wedding in this era.

There are three main types of weddings in ancient Japan: weddings in front of gods, weddings in front of Buddhas, and weddings in front of people.

There are many differences between these 3 types of weddings.

The biggest difference is that the wedding in front of the god is held in a shrine, the wedding in front of the Buddha is held in front of a Buddha statue, and the wedding in front of a person is held at the groom's home.

Compared with the pre-god wedding and the pre-Buddhist wedding, the process of the pre-human wedding is much simpler.

The sedan chair on which the bride is riding stops in front of the groom's house, which is a pre-personal wedding.

Under the expectation of everyone, a warrior standing next to the sedan chair finally opened the door of the sedan chair.

A young woman dressed in immaculate white and Wugou slowly walked out of the sedan chair along the opened sedan door.

Bai Wugou is the wedding dress worn by ancient Japanese women.

Japan has believed that white is the color of sunlight and sacred since ancient times.

The white color of Baiwugou means cleanliness and cleanliness, and it also means that it can be dyed into various colors after entering the husband's house, which means it is easy to integrate into the husband's house.

The bride's face was lightly made up, and with Bai Wugou on her body, she looked extremely glamorous.

Immediately after the bride came out of the sedan chair, there were exclamations one after another from the crowd watching.

And when A-Machi saw the bride who finally appeared from the sedan chair, complex and weird lights flashed in his eyes.

Although Ogata's attention was also on the bride who finally emerged from the sedan chair.

But from the corner of his eye, he still keenly caught the change in the gaze of Ah-Ming beside him.

"A-Machi." Ogata lowered his voice and said to A-Machi beside him, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." The strange, weird light still remained in A-Ming's eyes, "This is the first time I've seen Bai Wugou, I just think it's a bit novel, and I think Bai Wugou is very good-looking."

Hearing Ah-Machi's thoughts, Ogata nodded:

"Well, it's really pretty."

Although he was on modern Earth, Ogata had seen a few photos of Bai Wugou through the Internet.

But it was the first time for Ogata to witness a woman wearing Shiro Wugou.

Although the immaculate white clothes were worn behind him, it did make the wearer seem to be covered with a sacred breath.

After the bride walked out of the sedan chair, she was taken into the groom's home by the groom's people.

It is naturally impossible for them, the crowd of onlookers, to enter someone's home to watch someone hold a wedding.

Therefore, after the bride walked out of the sedan chair and was taken into the groom's home, the crowd watching the excitement dispersed automatically.

"I feel a little thirsty." As the surrounding crowd left from the gate of the groom's house, A-Machi said to Ogata beside him, "Let's go find a tea house and have some tea."

Ogata happened to be a little thirsty too, seeing that Machi offered to find a tea house for some tea, Ogata nodded without any hesitation in agreement.

When he was looking for the tea house, Ogata looked up at the position of the sun.

Today is a bright and sunny day, and the position of the sun can be clearly seen.

After being in the Edo period for so long, Ogata has already been able to judge the current time proficiently by the position of the sun and the moon.

According to Ogata's visual estimation, it is about 16 o'clock in the afternoon.

The two found a small tea house without much effort.

Immediately after Ogata and Atachi entered the tea house, a cute girl who was only about 12 or 3 years old walked quickly to greet her.

"welcome!"

Because of her young age, the little girl's voice was quite childish.

When Ogata and Atachi visited this tea house, there happened to be no other customers in this tea house, and every table was empty.

Advertise, [ \Mi\Mi\Reading\app \mimiread\ ] It’s really good, it’s worth pretending, after all, there are many sources of books, all books, fast!

After the two randomly picked an empty table, they began to light the tea they wanted.

"Two guest officers! Would you like to try our store's special steamed buns?"

After Ogata and A-Machi each ordered a cup of oolong tea, the little girl took the initiative to sell their special food to them.

Although Japanese steamed buns and Chinese steamed buns are both called steamed buns, there is still a big difference.

Japanese steamed buns are more like Chinese red bean paste buns, which are filled with red bean paste.

Ogata is free to eat steamed buns or not.

So Obi conveniently handed over the choice to Ah Ding.

After turning his questioning gaze to A-Ming, and A-Ming thought for a while, he said to the little girl:

"Then let's have two copies of this special steamed bun from your store! I just happened to be a little hungry too."

"it is good!"

Seeing that she had successfully launched the special delicacies in her store, the little girl seemed very happy, and walked into the kitchen of their store with a happy smile on her face.

After a while, the little girl returned to the field of vision of Ogata and Atachi with a large tea tray.

The oolong tea and steamed buns ordered by Ogata and Atachi were neatly placed on the tea tray.

Ogata was not in a hurry to drink tea, but first picked up the special steamed buns in their store that the girl said.

The same is true for A-Machi. He was not in a hurry to drink tea, but planned to try the special steamed buns of this shop first.

After taking a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, Ogata's face flashed with surprise.

He found that what the little girl said was true, the steamed buns were indeed quite different from the ones he had eaten before.

The biggest difference is that the steamed buns in this store have a softer skin, and the red bean filling inside is also more waxy and sweeter, which is very suitable for Ogata's taste.

And after taking a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, A-Ming's face also flashed a bit of surprise, it seems that this steamed bun also suits A-Ming's appetite.

The little girl on the side has been paying attention to the expressions of Ogata and Acho.

After seeing the surprise expressions on the faces of Ogata and A-Machi, the little girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a proud tone:

"This steamed bun is my mother's family secret recipe, how about it? Is it delicious?"

"Yeah." Ogata nodded and said sincerely, "It's really delicious."

Because there are no guests other than Ogata and Machi, the little girl is very idle now.

After serving tea and steamed buns to Ogata and Atachi, she didn't leave directly, but stayed beside them, chatting with them.

And Ogata and A-cho, who are also very idle, are also happy to chat with this little girl.

Through chatting, Ogata learned that the little girl was named Ajiu and was 12 years old this year.

Currently running this small tea house with her parents.

Their tea house is considered a very common residential and commercial integrated shop in this era.

For this type of shop, the first or second floor is often used as a shop, and the upper floors are used for living.

According to what Ajiu said—her mother had a very serious cold these days, and her father was very unfortunate to be hurt by someone yesterday. Although it was not a serious injury, he had to rest in bed for a few days before he could get out of bed normally. to work.

One of her parents was sick and the other was injured, and both of them are resting upstairs, so she, Ajiu, is currently in charge of looking after the store.

"Ajiu, you are really amazing." After listening to Ajiu's description of the current situation of their store, Ogata exclaimed, "You are still so young, and you can manage the store by yourself."

"It's nothing." Ajiu said modestly, "I usually help my parents in the store, so how to steam steamed buns and how to make tea, these things I have long been familiar with."

Just when Ogata, A-Machi, and Aku were having a lively conversation——

Crack, crack, crack...

Suddenly, there was a "squeak, creak" sound of stepping on the wooden boards from the stairs not far away.

This voice instantly attracted the attention of the three of Ogata.

Turning his gaze to the stairs, Ogata saw a young man about 30 years old holding his waist and walking down the stairs with difficulty... Ah, no, it should be moving down.

After seeing the young man who was struggling to go downstairs, Ajiu yelled "Father" and ran towards the young man quickly.

Early marriage and early childbearing can be regarded as one of the characteristics of the feudal era.

So Ajiu, who is only 12 years old this year, is not surprised at all to call this young man who should not even be 30 years old as his father.

"Father." Ajiu asked his father after helping him walk the last few steps, "Why did you come down? Go back to your room and continue to lie down and rest!"

"No way..." Ajiu's father showed a bitter smile, "There is an important thing to do."

"What's the matter?" Ajiu asked suspiciously.

"I just remembered that someone ordered 30 steamed buns for our family. I have already made an appointment with them to deliver the steamed buns tonight."

"I've been so busy recovering from my injuries these past few days that I almost forgot about it..."

"Okay, Ajiu, let me go, I'll deliver the steamed buns, and I'll be back soon."

"No!" Ajiu hugged his father tightly, "You can't even stand up! How could you deliver the steamed buns! Father, who ordered our steamed buns? I'll deliver them for you!"

Hearing Ajiu's initiative to invite Ying, Ajiu's father showed a strange look on his face.

"No." He shook his head without hesitation, "A girl of your age should not go to that kind of place."

"It can only be delivered by me."

"It's not the first time I've helped deliver steamed buns!" Ajiu said unconvinced, "Which time have I not delivered steamed buns perfectly? Why don't you let me deliver them?"

"Besides, what is so dangerous, only you can go, but I can't go."

Seeing that Ajiu didn't listen to persuasion, Ajiu's father could only say to Ajiu in a helpless tone:

"The one who ordered the steamed buns this time is Yukaku, a famous restaurant in Yoshiwara, 'Sakuramonya'."

"Can a girl of your age go to Yoshiwara?"

From the look on Ajiu's face, it's not hard to tell—she knows where Yoshihara is.

After hearing the word "Yoshihara" from his father's mouth, Ajiu's expression froze.

But after hesitating for a while, she still stiffened her neck and said:

"Ji, what's wrong with Yoshihara? Can't I go to Yoshihara?"

"Yoshihara has no restrictions on the age and gender of the entrants, why can't I go?"

"Of course you can't go!" Ajiu's father said angrily, "Where is that place in Yoshihara? There are all kinds of messy people in Yoshihara!"

"Those traffickers like girls your age the most."

"You go to Yoshihara alone, be careful of being abducted by those traffickers, and then sell you to Yoshihara or other places!"

Ajiu seemed to want to say something more.

But before she could say anything, a male voice from behind her took the conversation away:

"Ajiu, your father is right. A place like Yoshihara is indeed not a place for a girl your age to go."

The master of this male voice is none other than Ogata.

When Ajiu and his father cast curious eyes on Ogata, Ogata was pouring the cup of oolong tea he just ordered into his mouth.

After drinking the tea in the cup, Ogata smiled at Ajiu's father and said:

"Your steamed buns, we will deliver them for you."

"Huh?" Ajiu's father was taken aback, "May I ask who you two are?"

"It's just the two guests who happen to be drinking tea here at this moment." Ogata said, "You look like you have difficulty even going down the stairs, so it's impossible to get a steamed bun?"
