Chapter 1259 Fuso Flower Marriage
In this life, there will be many contradictions.
Ning Weimin, for example, clearly knows that Japan’s current speculative market still has a lot to offer.
If you devote all your resources and continue to concentrate on this market, you may soon become the richest man in the world.
However, in order to prevent the tragic fate of "you have a life to make money but not a life to spend", when all the stocks held under his name are still rising across the board, Ning Weimin, who has just reached the top of the personal customer rankings, also I can only accept it as soon as possible.
Several months before "Black Monday", I had to reluctantly order my stockbroker Kenichi Sagawa to reduce most of his stock holdings on the grounds of business needs and overseas mergers and acquisitions.
And he tried every means to transfer part of the proceeds from Japan to overseas, together with the 5 billion yen re-mortgaged loan from Ebuntang Bookstore.
Ning Weimin, for example, clearly hates people pretending to be Japanese.
If it is not necessary...for example, after bathing in a hot spring, he will never wear a kimono if he can only change into the kimono provided by the store.
And the last thing he wanted to do was leave such traces of clothing.
But nothing is absolute. This time it happened that he got married and held a wedding in front of a god in Japan.
But he had to endure his hatred, go against his personal preferences, hold a wedding in kimono and take photos to satisfy Matsumoto Keiko's wish.
There is no way, no matter how great the grievance is, it is covered up by the word "love".
Speaking of which, at the beginning of his rebirth, Ning Weimin still dreamed of living a life of three wives and four concubines after becoming successful. How could he have a threesome, how could he spend money like water and waste money.
At that time, he never expected any love, he only expected to have a pair of twins with good looks and figures.
However, people's fate is so mysterious, and plans often fail to keep up with changes. Who allowed God to let him know Qingzi?
Once he really met the right person, his soul, a vulgar and dirty person, was actually purified. From then on, he decided to be a human being and no longer cared about any evil things.
It's amazing to say that seeing Qingzi's face, hearing Qingzi's voice, her every move, her joys and sorrows all made him feel happy.
With her, not only does the world become endlessly joyful and colorful, he even eats deliciously.
Then having said that, since all those depraved and dazzling desires, he was willing to give up for such a woman.
Why would he not want to take a picture of Keiko in kimono?
And thinking about it on the other hand, since Qingzi has sacrificed so much for himself, it is natural for him to sacrifice a little.
Love cannot be given unilaterally. Anyway, Sun Dapao, Zhou Dawei and Jianhu Heroine have all worn it, so they probably won’t be regarded as traitors.
Forget it, let’s leave it at that...
That’s it, on Saturday, May 2, 1987, Ning Weimin cooperated unconditionally and held the ceremony with Qingzi Japanese wedding before God.
It should be said that this wedding is very different from the Western-style wedding they will hold at the Okura Hotel in Tokyo the next day.
The wedding on May 3rd is not only a grand and extravagant wedding banquet, but it is also public and will entertain thousands of guests and media reporters.
However, this wedding is limited to family members and the couple’s closest friends. It is an extremely private and solemn wedding ceremony.
The only relatives of Matsumoto Keiko’s participants are her parents and uncle.
The elders who are not related by blood include the homeroom teacher in middle school, and the career fathers-President Okimoto of Shochiku Pictures and director Nomura Yoshitaro of "Li Xianglan".
There is also the "Oshima Shigeru" that the Chinese are familiar with, Yamaguchi Momoe's emotional father-Utsui Takeru.
Because she was Matsumoto Keiko’s senior at Daiei Company, this old actor with reliable character used to take good care of her. Although the two did not cooperate much, they had a good personal relationship, so This time Ken Utsui was also invited to watch the ceremony.
In addition, Matsumoto Keiko also invited several friends in the industry to attend the wedding.
There are Atsumi Kiyo, Baisho Chieko, who works under Shochiku, and the actress Ryoko Ishida, who just won the Academy Award for Best Actress.
As for Ning Weimin, because it was not his home court, even fewer people attended.
He has only one relative, his cheap cousin Shen Cun who flew all the way from the capital for him.
There are only three friends, one is Teresa Teng, the Asian singer who has a bad temper with him, and Minoru Funaki, the president of Taurus Palace, and the other is Yao Peifang, who was temporarily captured by him to make up for his losses.
Of course, this does not mean that Ning Weimin is really so unpopular. He has no friends who are closer than these people in Japan to invite.
It doesn’t mean that he doesn’t regard Axia, Maria, the Kagawa sisters, and the Taniguchi family as friends in his heart.
In fact, the key is that the location where they held the Japanese wedding ceremony is also very special.
Because it is not in Tokyo, but at Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island in Hiroshima Prefecture, more than 300 kilometers away from Tokyo.
According to Keiko, after she came here on her high school graduation trip, she thought that one day her wedding would be held here.
Now that she finally met the person she entrusted her life to, she naturally wanted to come to Itsukushima Shrine to fulfill her wish.
In this way, not only does this wedding have a more necessary meaning, but the objective conditions also allow only a few people to participate in this wedding.
After all, if you want to attend the wedding, all the guests have to fly from Tokyo to Hiroshima, which is really troublesome.
Among all the guests, Yao Peifang was slightly closer from Osaka.
Ning Weimin thought about it from another perspective. He was really embarrassed to disturb everyone and disrupt the normal life and work arrangements of so many people.
So for everyone else, it would be best to go back to Tokyo the next day and meet at the Western-style wedding at Hotel Okura.
Anyway, the wedding held at Itsukushima Shrine was low-key and quiet, but it was successfully held.
First of all, the place is far away, but it’s really nice.
Miyajima is a small place, rich in oysters and deer. Apart from a shrine, it is a commercial street.
But the shrine here has a long history. It was founded in 593 AD, which has a history of 1,400 years. It is the headquarters of the other 500 Itsukushima shrines in Japan.
Here are mainly dedicated to the three goddesses of Munakata - Tianxin Hime, Ichikishima Hime, and Tsutsumi Hime.
Therefore, this place has been considered as a spiritual island where the goddess lives since ancient times, and has gradually become the center of Japanese Shinto belief.
And Itsukushima Shrine is also built on the beach of the Seto Inland Sea.
At high tide, the blue water rises under the shrine bridge, and the entire shrine miraculously becomes a "building in the lake."
In addition to the large torii gate standing in the sea in front of the shrine, "Miyajima's beautiful scenery" is called "Japan's three most beautiful scenery" together with Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture and Amanohashidate in Kyoto Prefecture. To be honest, Ning Weimin didn't have much expectations.
But when he arrived here, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
I wonder if my wife is really good at choosing places and would choose such a wonderful place as her wedding venue.
Among the several guests, whether it was Ryoko Ishida who was having trouble with her marriage or Teresa Teng who hated getting married, they were even more excited by the scenery here from the bottom of their hearts.
Before the guests spoke, the two people expressed their blessings with envy as soon as they met.
One said, "You are so lucky to come to such a shrine to get married. The goddesses will definitely protect your marriage and the beautiful Keiko..."
The other said, "Where can there be such people? They call people all the way here just to show off their happiness. The key is... Hey, why did you choose to get married here? You are so happy. Please, please consider other people's feelings. Okay? I envy you so much..."
Secondly, it is worth mentioning that Japan’s wedding industry is also quite mature and developed.
Because these days, wedding services in Japan are a very profitable business.
A reporter from NHK TV station revealed after investigation that the current average cost of a complete wedding ceremony in Japan is about 6 million yen.
So even places like Itsukushima Shrine have dedicated The wedding company we cooperated with will organize the wedding.
On today's wedding, Ning Weimin and the others must have spent enough money, so they just had to follow the arrangements when they got here, and everything was arranged properly.
To be specific, the wedding company not only invited the shrine priest to personally host the wedding ceremony for the couple, arranged a makeup artist, but also prepared a waiting space for relatives to rest.
Considering that it was inconvenient for the newcomers to change their clothes, several people were specially arranged to help them change their clothes.
The photographers and assistants in the photo studio are even more ready, waiting for the newlyweds to change into their wedding attire and take some photos of the two of them in beautiful places as "wedding commemorative photos".
But speaking of it, although Japanese photographers are superb, the photos they take have extremely exquisite combinations of light, shadow, and objects, which are breathtaking.
But it seems that Japanese photographers and my country’s infamous “art photos” in the future are actually nothing new.
To put it bluntly, it’s all a routine.
What kind of umbrella should be lifted and which hand should be lifted have long been standardized, and it is easy to shoot with ease.
If there is any difference, the Japanese do take photos at the wedding scene, and they are indeed photos of real weddings, and the prices are more expensive.
Usually, the starting price for a package of seven or eight photos is 100,000 yen.
Every time you choose a photo, the price will change by more than 20,000 yen. If you want to take a decent photo, it is 300,000 yen, it is 500,000 yen, and it is one million yen. Photos can also be taken for you.
Of course there are cheaper ones. The price is 25,000 yen, which is the lowest price. After all, it only costs over 1,000 yuan.
But hey, hey, there is only one photo...
In short, the thoughtful service of the wedding company is quite impressive, at least it improves the efficiency of the work.
Especially the traditional bridal makeup and dressing process is time-consuming and laborious, which can take several hours. Removing makeup takes even longer, and the burden is by no means easy.
You must know that the best time for weddings held at Itsukushima Shrine is at high tide, which symbolizes the consummation of the couple's love and climax.
If you miss it, it will be as disgusting as the Chinese people who were delayed by an accident on the way to get married and did not catch up with the auspicious time of the zodiac.
If it weren't for the group of old ladies at the shrine who are good at this, no matter whether you are square or round, you can tidy things up for the bride with just a few clicks.
Depending on their own ability, it is impossible for a newlywed couple to catch the auspicious moment of the high tide in time.
And unlike Ning Weimin, who was wearing a black kimono called a "monori haori", he looked like a fish seller, so there was really nothing to praise.
If you want to get another fan, it’s like you’re about to have your head shaved.
The bride's outfit is indeed quite eye-catching, very special and very beautiful.
Japanese brides wear a two-color kimono with red edges and a white background, and a white hat. Under the tall hat, only a beautiful face is exposed, looking very dignified and holy.
To be honest, the white hood on the bride’s head looks a bit like a wedding dress.
Especially during the process of entering the shrine, when someone holds a red umbrella behind the couple, it seems to bring ancient romance.
If the surrounding environment hadn't reminded Ning Weimin that this was a real ceremony, he would have thought it was filming a movie.
Qingzi’s style is worthy of being called “Fuso Flower Marriage”, a name that makes people imagine.
Later, Ning Weimin asked Qingzi specifically and found out that as a bride, she was very particular about her appearance today, and there were many secrets in it.
The white cloak on the head, called the horns, reminds the bride not to lose her temper when she arrives at her new home, and to hide her "horns" even if she has them.
It turns out that Japanese tradition does not use the allusion of the lion's roar in the east of the river to describe a wild woman, but the white wedding hat that the woman has "horns on her head".
No matter how unruly she is at ordinary times, the bride must tuck her fox tail between her legs during the wedding, look docile and dignified, and cover her horns, hence the name Kakugakure.
This kind of headdress is traditionally made of white silk, sometimes with red silk lining, giving it a more festive feel.
This kind of clothing comes from the Edo period. It is said that the custom was different at that time. It was a child running behind the bride and shouting "hide your horns".
Later I felt it was really indecent, so I changed my habit of simply using this kind of hat to hide my "horns" before getting married.
The white clothes on Qingzi's body are called "Bai Wugu", which sounds like a quite poetic name.
However, completely different from what Ning Weimin understood, this does not mean that the bride is pure and pure.
It means that when the bride arrives at her new home, she is just a blank piece of paper.
It means that from now on, everything about the bride will have to start from scratch, so that "Bai Wugu" can be "dyed with the same color as her husband's family style."
To put it bluntly, as our Chinese people often say, only by starting from scratch can you draw the most beautiful and best picture on a blank sheet of paper.
Think about it, Japanese brides actually wear horns. How is this similar to the story of "Liao Zhai"?
Isn’t this just treating the bride as a fairy?
Give me back my family tradition... including Master, isn't our background the color of money?
Could it be that such an elegant and beautiful Qingzi would turn into a money-spending, penny-pinching person?
This... is completely unimaginable... Could it be that the common topic of the couple in the future is to take stock together?
This, this, forget it...
