Chapter 387: Divine Preface Style
In the office, Shirakawa Kaede leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, staring blankly at the bustling Tokyo outside the window.
An old floor clock in the corner was ticking unsteadily.
After an unknown amount of time, a sigh echoed in the office.
It seems that there is still no news. Baichuan Feng raised his wrist to check the time.
Almost time to go.
Ding-a-ling~
The crisp sound of the phone ringing made him pause. After calming his breathing slightly, Baichuan Feng answered the phone.
"Moshimoshi?"
"Shirakawa-san, I found out."
His heartbeat quickened slightly, but Baichuan Feng's voice still sounded calm .
"How is it going?"
"It's in a manor in Hirao-cho, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka. But it's heavily guarded and our people can't get in."
"Are you sure?"
"Although I haven't seen her in person, based on the information I've heard, she should be Miss Kobayashi."
Baichuan Feng's throat rolled twice, and finally he calmly uttered, "Got it."
I don't know why, but at this moment, only when I hear the exact news about her, Baichuan Feng's heart seems to be at peace.
"Leave one or two people there in the future, and notify me immediately if anything goes wrong."
"Hayi"
In that case, I'm sorry, Xiaolin.
"By the way, Mr. Shirakawa, according to the information we inquired about, it seems that the Kobayashi family has added two new males."
"Huh?" Baichuan Feng's hand trembled as he was about to hang up the phone.
"Two boys? When did it happen?" His tone was hurried, no longer as calm as before.
"It should have been around September or October last year. I heard it was a pair of twins."
twin?
There was a smile of relief on Baichuan Feng's face at first, and then a greater feeling of guilt surged in his heart.
Xiaolin, Xiaolin, I owe you more.
Trying hard to calm himself, Baichuan Feng once again explained the matter solemnly.
"Add more people... No! Just set up a branch there, and protect the twins in the future.
But remember not to disrupt their lives or identify yourself.”
"Hai!"
"Thanks for your hard work"
After hanging up the phone, Baichuan Feng's expression was extremely complicated.
Sometimes I feel relieved, sometimes I feel guilty, sometimes I feel happy, and sometimes I sigh.
"Mr. Shirakawa, your plane has arrived at the airport." The assistant's reminder sounded outside the office door.
"Got it," Baichuan Feng agreed, then stood up from the chair.
Rubbing his cheeks hard, looking out the window at the bustling Tokyo again, Shirakawa Feng turned and walked out.
…
"careful"
"Hayi"
At Tokyo's Haneda Airport, Shirakawa Kaede held Tanaka Yuko's hand and carefully boarded the plane's gangway.
The passengers on today's flight were only him, Yuko Tanaka, and their accompanying personnel.
Taking her special circumstances into consideration, Baichuan Feng directly chose to charter a plane.
There may not be many people in Neon who own private jets, but chartering a plane is not a difficult thing for rich people.
However, the rich people in Japan are too low-key. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most low-key wealthy group in the world.
Influenced by traditional culture, their style of hiding wealth inside made Baichuan Feng feel a little restrained.
I don't have any yachts or private jets now. I don't even dare to drive the luxury cars I bought in Tokyo.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to enjoy life, but that the traditions of the old money are too old-fashioned.
If he lets himself go, it's no wonder that his nouveau riche style of doing things will soon spread among the upper circles.
In the future, when you discuss business in Japan, people will even secretly look down on you.
Shirakawa Electric's market value is only ranked 15th, and it has not yet reached the peak of wealth. It still has a lot of work to do.
Tsk, being a rich man in Japan is so boring.
But can a living person be killed by holding his urine?
A large piece of land in Shonan has been booked by Shirakawa Kaede, and construction of several runways has begun under the direction of design experts.
You can't be too ostentatious in Tokyo
Even abroad, Baichuan Feng has acquired many properties for himself.
At worst, I can go abroad to enjoy myself in the future. The cultural atmosphere of a simple life is too depressing.
"Have all the invitations in Tokyo been sent out?"
"Hayi, there is someone in charge of this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."
Baichuan Feng patted her hands, signaling her to be at ease.
The baby in Yuko Tanaka's belly has been several months old, and Shirakawa Kaede is ready to give her a formal status.
She was the first woman Shirakawa Feng met in Neon, and of course the one he remembered most deeply.
From the first day he met her, Shirakawa Kaede was captivated by the charm of the Showa beauty.
Between every frown and smile, emotions are swaying.
And it is different from Keiko Matsuzaka's occasional literary youth and the little tiger teeth's scheming.
Yuko Tanaka has a gentle personality, and her fragility is accompanied by a hint of resilience.
Baichuan Feng enjoyed her care very much. He could completely relax himself with her without having to worry about the disturbances in the outside world.
Home is a harbor, a calm harbor.
Since a status is required, it is certainly not as simple as submitting a naturalization application at the Tokyo City Hall.
Since ancient times, a wedding has been a ceremony for couples to signify their eternal union.
As for the wedding, Shirakawa Kaede and Tanaka Yuko discussed it and finally decided to hold it in two places, one after the other.
In Akita, we only invited friends and relatives from our hometown. Then we returned to Tokyo and invited some people from the business community.
Now the two of them are preparing to fly back to Akita for a traditional hometown wedding.
…
One day in late May, Xiaolu, a quiet village at the foot of the mountains, suddenly became extremely lively.
The quaint streets were swept cleanly from the beginning to the end of the village.
Especially in the newly built shrine in the town, there are bluestone, floors, bamboo and water; Daruma, ancient bells, and red torii.
Everything is simple and natural, with a hint of Zen.
On the uphill side of the street, there is a courtyard with a historical charm.
Shirakawa Kaede was standing in the middle of a Japanese-style room, letting his mother and the aunties from the neighborhood busy themselves with him.
"Montsuke haori hakama, this is what the groom wears~"
After Kazuko put on the hakama, the outermost layer of the kimono, for her son, she nodded with satisfaction.
"Xiao Feng, you're so handsome." Aunt Miki looked at the imposing Shirakawa Feng with admiration and praised him again and again.
"And this family crest is the same as Xiaofeng's name, which makes people happy just by looking at it." The neighbor's great god Watanabe's eyes were full of envy and blessings.
Monzuke haori hakama is a type of kimono worn by the groom at traditional Japanese weddings. Its colors are mostly dark, usually black.
The family crest is embroidered with white woolen thread in five places: below the neck on the back of the groom's kimono, on the left and right sides of the chest in front, and on the edges of both sleeves.
As for the Shirakawa family crest, there was none before, but there is one now.
Inside a white circle, a simple sketch is drawn based on a maple leaf.
This is the Shirakawa family crest, and it has been submitted to the city government for naturalization registration.
The black kimono that Shirakawa Kaede was wearing at the moment had this family crest embroidered on it.
In addition, there is a string of white feathers hanging on the chest and lower abdomen. It has another common name, the master knot.
It seemed simple, but with this outfit, Baichuan Feng had been standing here for more than an hour, letting them do whatever they wanted.
Kimonos, especially those worn for formal occasions, are too cumbersome to wear.
Shirakawa Kaede's situation is okay, but the one who is really suffering is Tanaka Yuko.
…
Inside a small house in Xiaolu Town, Yuko Tanaka was sitting on the tatami, quietly looking at the busy figure in the mirror.
The one who was putting makeup on her was her mother Mieko. Mieko was busy with everything from the kimono to the headdress.
According to tradition, the woman should complete her white wedding dress at home at this time.
However, because Yuko Tanaka's home is in Hokkaido, they can only use the unused courtyard in Xiaolu Town as a temporary residence for her.
She put on the last piece of head ornament and painted her lipstick red.
Mieko straightened up, took a closer look at her daughter, and a smile appeared on her face.
"It's so beautiful."
Yuko Tanaka stared blankly at the figure in the mirror, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
She slowly stood up and turned to her mother. Seeing this, Mirongzi quickly reached out to help her.
"Mother..." Yuko Tanaka wanted to say something of thanks, but the words were interrupted by tears.
"Don't cry, your makeup will be ruined." She said this, but Mirongko's tears were rolling in her eyes.
After wiping the moisture from the corners of her eyes, Mirongzi looked at her daughter again, smiled and nodded.
"Well, the guests are waiting outside, it's time to go to the shrine."
The wedding of Shirakawa Kaede and Tanaka Yuko held here in Akita was a traditional Shinto-style wedding.
Xiaolu doesn't have the conditions for a Western -style church wedding, and the uncles and aunts in the village may not be used to it either.
So after they discussed it, they finally decided to follow the ancient rituals and complete the wedding in front of the gods.
In front of the small courtyard where Tanaka Yuko temporarily lived, Shirakawa Kaede and the guests behind him were waiting here lively.
After both of them put on kimonos, the next step is for the man to pick up the woman and go to the shrine together.
Creak~ The wooden door of the courtyard was opened, and the people who were talking in front of the door stopped talking at the same time.
A white figure appeared in front of everyone inside the door, holding the middle-aged lady's hand.
White and spotless, clean and flawless, pure white and spotless.
The warm wind of May blew by, and the long white kimono and the white brocade hat on the head swayed slightly in the wind.
Under the kimono, Yuko Tanaka seemed to be dyed with a layer of pure white beauty, with black eyelashes and red lips, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Pa pa pa" the guests outside the door applauded spontaneously.
Two figures inside the door smiled and bowed slightly to everyone.
After greeting each other, Shirakawa Feng walked up to her and took her left hand. After greeting the crowd again, the two walked together towards the shrine at the other end of the street.
On the wide bluestone street, a pair of priestesses dressed in white led the way, followed closely by the priests.
Shirakawa Kaede, wearing a black hakama with a pattern, led Tanaka Yuko, who was wrapped in a white wedding gown, and followed them slowly.
Next to the bride, there was a divine servant holding a red oil-paper umbrella, blocking her figure.
Behind them is a long list of family members, relatives and friends from both sides.
Woohoo~, approaching the shrine, the priest blew the short flute in his hand to comfort the gods that the newlyweds are coming.
With a crisp sound, the witch goddess Le Ling forced the evildoers to retreat.
As we got closer to the shrine, more and more musical instruments joined in.
As soon as you step into the shrine, the sound of music echoes throughout the streets all day long.
