Yuanfu ceremony is a sign of a man's adulthood.
According to the Japanese etiquette at this time, when a man reaches adulthood at the age of fifteen, he must perform the Yuanfu ceremony. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Kyogoku Takamasa was served at the age of 12. Of course, strictly speaking, Kyogoku Takamasa was 13 years old at this time (virtual age).
In the Yuanfu ceremony of the Wu family, the samurai who wears hats for the Yuanfu warriors and the Yuanfu warriors will automatically become black-hatted relatives, and this black-hatted marriage is similar to the relationship between adopted father and son.
In other words, Hatakeyama Masakuni is equivalent to Kyogoku Takamasa's adoptive father at this time. Of course, it is not something deeper like an adopted father and son. It just plays a role in deepening the relationship between the two. Similarly, the relationship between Hatakeyama Masakuni's son and Kyogoku Takamasa is that of sworn brothers, which deepens the relationship between the Kyogoku family and the Hatakeyama family.
This is also the reason why Kyogoku Takahiro invited someone from the Hatakeyama family to be the bride's bride. He was more or less interested in hugging his thighs, even though the Hatakeyama family's thighs were not very thick.
In fact, Kyogoku Takahiro originally wanted to find the Hosokawa family, but with the strength and reputation of the Hosokawa family at this time, Kyogoku Takahiro was not confident that he could board the Hosokawa family's warship, so he retreated. The second choice was the Hatakeyama family.
But even so, the head of the Hatakeyama family, Ue-Naga Hatakeyama, did not come in person, but sent his younger brother, Masakuni Hatakeyama. This shows how far the Kyogoku family has gotten.
"From today on, I will call you Kyogoku Sakyoujin!" Kyogoku Takahiro also walked to Kyogoku Takamasa's side and said with a look of relief, "My son has finally grown up and can be on his own!"
"Congratulations, lord!"
"Congratulations to Sakyo on entering the palace!"
The Kyogoku family retainers in the palace quickly echoed loudly.
Kyogoku Takamasa was also very excited. He finally accepted Yuanfu and was no longer the timid kid he was before in everything he did! I finally took the first step!
"Thank you, my foster father! Thank you, my father!" Kyogoku Takamasa took a step back, and then saluted Kyogoku Takahiro and Hatakeyama Masakuni with a serious face.
Afterwards, Kyogoku Gaomasa stood up and bowed to the retainers around him, "I am the retainer of my family at the beginning of my life. Please give me your advice in the future!"
"Ha!" The retainers in the palace also responded quickly.
The Yuanfu ceremony was over, Kyogoku Takahiro took Hatakeyama Masakuni and several other guests to the back hall to play nb, while Kyogoku Takamasa was surrounded by Mitsui Gensuke and others.
"Master Saburo's palace has finally become a warrior, so I can finally dream of becoming a real samurai!" As the nickname of Kyogoku Takamasa, Mitsui Gensuke has always wanted to become a true samurai.
But Mitsui Gensuke is about the same age as Kyogoku Takamasa, so he has never received Mitsui Setsuna's permission. And now that Kyogoku Takamasa has passed the Yuanfu ceremony, Mitsui Gensuke should also hold the Yuanfu ceremony, and then either become a retainer of the Kyogoku family, or continue to serve as Kyogoku Takamasa's valet.
Hearing Mitsui Gensuke's words, Kyogoku Takamasa smiled and said, "Gensuke, don't be anxious. I believe Youemon-den has been prepared for this, just wait patiently!"
"By the way, why don't we see Umasuke and Uheebeisa today?" Kyogoku Takamasa scanned around and found that Kyogoku Takakatsu and Kyogoku Uheebeisa were not among the crowd, so he asked curiously.
"Uhei Sao has not yet entered the Yuanfu and cannot attend the Yuanfu ceremony in Kyogoku-den. As for Umasuke, he should follow Sosuke-den on his mission to the Mino Toki family!" Akao Kiyozuna replied.
"As an envoy to the Toki family?" Kyogoku Takamasa was stunned. He really couldn't think of anything easy to communicate between the Kyogoku family and the Toki family.
Seeing Kyogoku Takamasa's confused look, Akao Kiyosuna and Endo Kyouyo looked at each other and smiled, and then showed a strange smile on their faces, "Your Highness, this is a good thing!"
"Yes! If we can marry with the Toki family, then my family's situation in Omi will definitely be much better!" Endo Kyouyo also covered his mouth and said with a smile.
"Marriage? Marriage to whom? Me?"
Kyogoku Takamasa has a black question mark on his face, mmp, he has arranged his life-long affairs without saying a word, what the hell!
Although he had known that there would be no free love in this era, Kyogoku Takamasa had always longed to meet the one he loved. However, judging from what Akao Kiyosuna and others said just now, it seems that there is no such opportunity.
However, as the overlord of Mino, the Toki family is very powerful. If they can marry with the Toki family, it will indeed be a good thing for the Kyogoku family.
But Kyogoku Takamasa couldn't help but be very curious. Although the Kyogoku family and the Toki family have similar family status, and even the Kyogoku family is slightly higher, their strength is too different. Can the Toki family agree?
"Could it be that you want me to marry the daughter of a retainer of the Toki family?" Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly had a bad premonition, thinking that he was going to follow the old path of Asai Nagamasa in history.
Hearing Kyogoku Takamasa's concerns, Akao Kiyozuna quickly explained, "Your Highness is worrying too much. Although our family is in decline, it is not comparable to that of the general public."
"It is said that the person my lord is proposing to marry is the adopted daughter of Toqi, the head of the Toqi family. She is roughly the same age as your highness, and her reputation has spread far and wide in Nongzhou. She is also a perfect match for your highness!"
Hearing this, Kyogoku Takamasa breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter whether he adopted a daughter or not, as long as she was the daughter of the head of the Toki family. In this way, the Kyogoku family can be regarded as a big support. After all, the Mino Toki clan is considered a powerful force near Omi.
Historically, Saito Dozo conquered the upper class in 1542, which means that the Toki family can still survive for more than 10 years, which is enough for the Kyogoku family.
etc!
Saito Michi Santoki Lai Yun I rub!
Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly thought of a very serious question, and his expression immediately changed, "Sunsaburo, whose daughter did you just say that my father asked me to marry?"
"Is Toki, the head of the Toki family, repairing the doctor's palace?" Akao Kiyozuna replied without knowing why.
A trace of tears flashed across Kyogoku Takamasa's eyes, with a look that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. mmp Oh, I didn’t expect that after things like this, I would be tricked by Kyogoku Takahiro. Do you want to do this to me?
After coming to this world for so many years, combined with the memories before time travel, Kyogoku Takamasa has long been aware of all the current situations.
It is true that he wants to marry the daughter of the head of the Toki family, but what Kyogoku Takamasa wants is not the Toki repair doctor! The Toki repair doctor mentioned by Akao Kiyosuna is Toki Yoritake, and Kyogoku Takamasa, who is familiar with the history of the Warring States Period, knows that the next head of the Toki family is Toki Yoriun, the terrifying man who put the hat of forgiveness on Dosan!
In other words, Toki Yoritake was about to be defeated by Toki Yoriun and Saito Douzan (Dosan was still called Nishimura Kankuro Masatoshi at this time). Not only did he lose the territory of Mino, but he also fled to Echizen and defected to his nephew Asakura Takakage.
Isn’t this tricking me?
If you marry Toki Yoritake's daughter, when Toki Yoriun comes to power, you will have Asai Ryomasa to the north, Rokkaku Sadayori over there, and Toki Yoriun, the enemy of your father-in-law, to the east.
To the west, to the west, is Lake Biwa. I might as well go to the lake and beg for it!
