I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

The oath is generally very short, but because this oath is written in complex ancient Japanese, Ogata took nearly half a minute to finish this short oath.

After Ogata and A-Machi read the oath, the wedding came to an end.

From the entrance of Ogata and Atachi to the completion of the wedding, it took less than 0 minutes before and after. The pre-personal wedding is so short.

Some poorer families may omit the "three offering ceremonies" when holding a pre-personal wedding. If the "three offering ceremonies" are omitted, the time can be shortened, and it is enough to read the oath. If you are fast enough, you can hold a wedding in just 2 minutes.

The wedding is over, and then, of course, comes the banquet.

A-Ming stepped back for the time being, and changed out of Bai Wugou's body, and put on a color jacket with red and yellow as the main colors.

The so-called "playing gown" is actually a dress for women, which is only worn on various formal occasions.

Bai Wugou is also known as "white coat".

And "se da gua" is a colorful da gua.

According to the rules, when the bride finishes her wedding ceremony and starts the banquet, she has to change Bai Wugou and put on a colored gown.

And the seda jacket must have the family crest of the husband's family, which means that it has been infected by the family style of the husband's family and will be reborn in the new family.

The red-and-yellow colored gown that A-Machi is wearing now is embroidered with the family crest of the Ogata family: Kikyo.

A-machi's colored jacket is naturally a new one, and the people in the clothing store embroidered Ogata's bellflower pattern on it.

After A-Machi changed his clothes, the banquet could be officially announced, and the originally solemn room gradually became lively.

"Speaking of which, I didn't know that brother Ogata's family crest is platycodon flower until a few days ago when brother Ogata went to order a hakama for Monfu." Mucun poured wine into his mouth while sitting still. Ogata on the main seat said so.

Mucun has the kind of physique that heals quickly from wounds. Although he is still far away from being fully recovered, he can barely move around and drink heavily.

"After all, I've never said it before." Ogata continued while sipping the wine in his glass, "To be honest, I personally forgot the last time I wore clothes embroidered with family crests, or used clothes engraved with What is the time for Iamon's utensils?"

In Ogata's impression, this was the first time he wore clothes embroidered with the bellflower pattern of their Ogata family after traveling to the Edo period.

On weekdays, there are very few opportunities to wear clothes with your own family crest or use utensils engraved with your own family crest.

"Is it a bellflower?" Mamiya said in a half-joking tone, "I didn't expect Ogata-kun that your family uses the flower-shaped family crest that is famous for its beauty."

"Is the platycodon flower the family crest given by your ancestors, or the family crest chosen by your ancestors?"

As soon as Jian Gong's words fell, Xu Fang smiled wryly and shrugged, saying:

"I don't know. I think my ancestors thought the platycodon pattern was very handsome, so they took the platycodon pattern as the family crest."

Indiscriminate use of family crests was actually very common in the Edo period.Many samurai and civilians see what kind of family crest looks good, so they use it as their own family crest.

Because of the abuse of family crests, according to the statistics of later generations of Japan, there were more than 2000 family crests in Japan in the Edo period.

"The platycodon pattern is pretty pretty." Mucun carefully looked at the platycodon pattern that would be embroidered on Ogata's haori, and said with a grin, "It looks very elegant. After Ogata put on the clothes with the platycodon pattern, the whole body People have become more refined."

"I think so too." A-cho, who was sitting next to Ogata, echoed with a smile.

Ogata still agrees with what Mucun said just now, and he himself thinks that the platycodon pattern is pretty.

It would be better to say that there is nothing ugly about the "flower-shaped family pattern".

Each "flower-shaped family pattern" has a very high appearance.

Both Makimura and Kondo are that kind of live treasure type characters.

Especially Kondo.

In this wedding, in addition to Uncle Qing, Huluya and his party, Ogata also invited Kondo and Guasheng.

Guasheng is not bad, he and Uncle Qing worked together to save the "stain" in Shiranui before, so he is very familiar with Uncle Qing.I also had a brief relationship with the Huluwu group before.

As for Kondo, he doesn't know anyone except Ogata and Acho.

If it were someone else who wasn't very good at communicating with people, participating in this kind of wedding where they basically didn't know anyone would definitely be embarrassing, and they wouldn't know who to talk to.

But that doesn't happen with Kondo.

Kondo, who is familiar with himself, is familiar with everyone present at an astonishingly fast speed

While getting acquainted with everyone present, he didn't forget to promote the North Wind House where he is working now.

It was also thanks to Kondo, who was acquainted with Kondo, and Mucun, who was also acquainted with Kondo, that the banquet with a small number of people gradually became lively.

At first, everyone was still sitting properly.

After the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively, everyone gradually stopped sitting in their original positions.

Ogata and A-Ming stepped down from the main seat, and sat with Lin and the others to drink and chat.

Lin and the others no longer sat neatly in two rows, and everyone sat where they wanted to sit.

The wedding of Ogata and A-Machi started at about 5 o'clock.

It is autumn now, and it gets dark quickly, so before you know it, the sky is slowly getting dark.

Ogata couldn't remember how much wine he had drunk.

Today is my happy event, the happiest day since this year, and my injury has healed by nearly 7%, so it doesn't matter if I drink a little more, so Ogata indulged himself a little.

For the toasts of Genichi, Makimura, and Kondo, Ogata never refused.

And Yuanyi, Mucun and the others were also very rude, pouring wine on Ogata round after round.

Although Ogata's capacity for drinking is not bad, but such a drinking method is really a bit overwhelming.

When night fell, Ogata already felt his head start to ache.

On the other hand, Yuanyi and Mucun are still very energetic.

They are all the kind of alcoholics, especially Yuan Yi, Yuan Yi is usually the kind of fierce person who drinks wine like water and can drink for a whole day.

To them, such a small amount of wine is just enough to make them slightly drunk.

In order to cheer himself up a bit, Ogata temporarily left the table in the name of going to the toilet, intending to go outside to blow some air to boost his spirits.

There happened to be a window in one of the corridors of the house.

Ogata, who left the table temporarily, walked quickly to this corridor, opened the window of this corridor, and then stuck his head out of the window.

The cold night wind blows in.

Because he had drunk a lot of wine, Ogata's face was now slightly blush, and felt a little hot to the touch.

The slightly hot face was indescribably comfortable when it touched the cold night wind.

It made Ogata recall the feeling of returning to the air-conditioned room from the hot outdoors in the summer of the previous life.

Under the blowing of the cold night wind, the pain in the head also slightly eased.

Just as Ogata was quietly enjoying the blowing of the night wind and silently recovering his spirits, a female voice with a bit of surprise in his tone sounded beside Ogata:

"Master Ogata, are you also here to blow the air?"

It was Gua Sheng's voice.

Ogata turned his head to look, and saw Gua Sheng, who was also flushed, walking slowly towards him.

Gua Sheng brought his life back on track some time ago.

Continue to work in Yoshihara as always, and continue to defend Yoshihara under the title of "Yoshihara Concentric" given to her by the girls.

In order to attend Ogata's wedding, Guasheng took a day off today.

"Yeah." Ogata smiled wryly, "Master Gen and the others can drink too much, so I'll come out to take a break."

"I also came out to rest." Gua Sheng also smiled wryly, "I don't drink very well. I drank a little more just now, so I don't feel very comfortable now, so I want to come out to get some air."

Ogata will stand aside to give up some space to Guasheng.

Guasheng walked slowly to the part of the seat that Ogata had just vacated, and stood side by side with Ogata by the open window.

After blowing the night breeze together in silence, a smile slowly appeared on Gua Sheng's face.

After this smile appeared, Gua Sheng broke the silence between the two of them:

"This time feels like a dream."

"Yitao Zhai, whom I have always respected and admired, suddenly appeared in front of me."

"Worked in Yoshiwara for a while with the admired Ittosai."

"Then Yidao Zhai avenged me and destroyed that hateful place in Shiranui."

Speaking of this, Gua Sheng paused.

Then he turned his head and cast serious eyes on Ogata.

"There is so much to thank you for. Thank you very much."

"I want to thank you too." As soon as Guasheng finished speaking, Xufang smiled, "Thanks to you, I also had a very happy time working in Yoshiwara."

"I just did what a senior should do." Gua Sheng smiled and responded in a joking tone.

After being silent for a while, Gua Sheng continued to ask:

"Now that the wedding with Ms. Atachi is over, are you planning to leave for Ezo too?"

"Yeah." Ogata's expression became a little more serious, "We're going to leave in a few days."

Gua Sheng's expression became a little more serious: "Although I don't know much about Ezo, I have heard that Ezo is a dangerous place."

"It is said that last year, there was just a riot among the Ezos."

"So you must pay attention to safety."

"Well. Of course." Speaking of this, Ogata's serious expression gradually disappeared, and then he joked, "I went to Ezo with the intention of going to Longtan and Tiger's Den."

"When will you finish handling your own affairs, and you are welcome to return to Edo at any time."

The serious look on Gua Sheng's face also faded.

"When you come back, you can come to me at any time. I will do my best to treat you to a delicious meal."

"At that time, you can also tell me what you have seen and heard in Ezodi."

On Gua Sheng's cheeks, a smile grew stronger.

"Unless something happens, I will definitely be in Yoshiwara."

"Are you planning to continue working with Yoshihara?" Ogata asked.

"Of course." Guasheng replied without thinking, "Yoshihara is my home to me now."

"And, just like Ogata-sama, you have something you should do now."

"I also have things I should accomplish."

Gua Sheng cast his eyes out of the window, looking into the distance.

"Although my strength is quite weak."

"Although my help to the Yoshihara girls is only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure."

"But I still want to do my best to help these disadvantaged girls."

"After all, someone just told me that a while ago."

Guasheng cast his smiling eyes back on Ogata.

"Send a light if you can. Even if the light is like a firefly, it can bring some light to the darkness. There is no need to wait for a torch to illuminate the darkness."

Guasheng softly recited the words Ogata told her earlier.

"I decided to stay in Yoshiwara."

"Live as much light as I can."

Ogata looked at Gua Sheng beside him, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

This sentence was said to Guasheng when he and Guasheng were sent to support a certain tea house.

That night, I also encountered Takikawa who was making trouble at the teahouse, but that's a story for later.

At that time, Guasheng met a certain "Yuan Younv" whom he had known before, and he was touched by the situation. He had doubts about the work he had been doing all along.

At that time, looking at the confused Guasheng, Ogata took advantage of the opportunity to say this famous quote from a great writer in his previous life.

The eyes of Gua Sheng now are completely different from those of Gua Sheng at that time.

Now Gua Sheng's eyes are full of firmness, without a trace of confusion.

Looking at Guasheng, who was completely different from before, a smile uncontrollably emerged from the depths of Ogata's pupils.
