In ancient times, men's crown rites and women's ceremonies were extremely formal and had many requirements. There are many requirements such as venues, uniforms, ritual instruments, and music.

In modern times, although the coming-of-age ceremony still has to pay attention to some traditions, it has also undergone new changes.

Just the venue, it does not have to be carried out in the family temple as in ancient times. Now, it can even be held in the open air.

Leng Mei's coming-of-age ceremony this time, because there were a lot of participants invited, was held in the Leng family compound. After all, the Leng family compound has more than 1,000 square meters, and the place is extremely empty.

The venue for the coming-of-age ceremony is located in the very center of the courtyard, where a small stage is one meter high.

Leng Mei's father Leng Feng and mother Zheng Hongmei stood on the east steps of the stage waiting for the guests, and a master of ceremonies dressed in ancient bachelor's clothes stood at the bottom of the west steps of the stage. With their appearance, the classical music "High Mountain", "Flowing Water" began to sound.

Seeing Leng Mei's coming-of-age ceremony, the guests began to gather in the direction of the stage. However, everyone stopped more than a dozen meters away from the stage.

At this time, the three guests invited by Leng Feng and Zheng Hongmei also rushed over. The three Zhengbin are all respected female elders. Of these three people, Lu Chong knows one person, and she is Zhao Yuanyan's wife Xiao Yujie. The other two Lu Chong didn't know each other, but they both had a kind of demeanor. It shouldn't be a simple character.

These three guests appeared, Leng Feng and Zheng Hongmei hurriedly stepped forward to greet and salute, and after the guests sat in the main guest seat, and the other guests also sat in the viewing table under the leadership of the Leng family. After everyone was in place, Leng Mei's father began to walk on the stage......

Leng Feng is a very handsome and elegant middle-aged. He was dressed in a crisp suit, looking very energetic and refreshing. After scanning the surroundings with his eyes, he picked up the microphone and gave a brief speech: "Today is the eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony of the little girl Leng Mei, thank you for coming! Next, the coming-of-age ceremony of the little girl Leng Mei officially begin......s!

Then the gaze turned to a red-carpeted path behind the stage.

The cold eyebrows in a pink dress, wrapped in the coldness and indifference of a winter, walked on the stage step by step.

Leng Mei to the venue, facing south, bowed to the guests. Then sit in your seat facing west. Dongfang Linglong's cousin helped him comb his hair. Then, after a series of rituals such as three additions and three bows, he was placed alongside his father Leng Feng and his mother Zheng Hongmei, and announced the ceremony to all the participants by Leng Feng.

As soon as the coming-of-age ceremony was completed, the banquet officially began, and as the protagonist of tonight's banquet, Leng Mei was quickly surrounded by a group of guests. First of all, the elders will give cold eyebrows red envelopes or birthday gifts.

After that, it was the turn of the officials and wealthy people who came to attend the ceremony to give gifts. However, because the people who came to the ceremony had been warned by the cold seal before, they did not dare to take out the more valuable things that were taboo. Besides, with Zheng Hongmei, the head of the Hongmei Group, how could the Leng family look down on the bribes and gifts you sent?

Therefore, these gift-giving officials and tycoons are very conscious.

As for the peers and friends who participated in the ceremony, they wanted to give birthday gifts to Leng Mei, and they were arranged to be at the bottom.

"Sister Lengmei, I wish you a happy birthday, this is my birthday gift to you, I hope you will always be beautiful. ”

Zhou Xiongfeng finally waited for the adults in front of him to leave, and then rushed to Leng Mei, first shouted Leng Feng, Zheng Hongmei called Uncle Leng and Aunt Zheng, and handed Leng Mei a fist-sized brocade box.

"Thank you. ”

Hearing that Zhou Xiongfeng actually called himself Leng Mei's sister, Leng Mei frowned slightly, nodded lightly to Zhou Xiongfeng, and asked the servant next to him who was responsible for receiving gifts to accept the gift box. ...,

"Sister Leng Mei, open it and take a look, this is a gift that I spent all my time getting for you. Seeing that Leng Mei didn't even look at the gift he gave, Zhou Xiongfeng said in a hurry.

Although the cold seal on the side is not in harmony with Zhou Kaiyuan, he will not worry about the juniors, seeing that Zhou Xiongfeng is in a hurry, he can't help but smile and say to Leng Mei: "Girl, open it and take a look, see what gift this kid Xiongfeng gives you." ”

"Okay!" Although Leng Mei didn't like it, he didn't want to be rude on this day, so he answered, and picked up the brocade from the side and started fighting.

saw the purple light flashing in the brocade box, and an amethyst bracelet appeared in Leng Mei's eyes.

Seeing Leng Mei open the box, Zhou Xiongfeng hurriedly said: "Sister Leng Mei, this amethyst bracelet was customized by me from a jewelry store." It's not expensive, but it's very beautiful, and I chose it with my heart. There is also your name on it, and there is even a plum blossom poem by Wang Anshi embedded in the bracelet. ”

Leng Mei glanced at Zhou Xiongfeng noncommittally, closed the brocade box by the way, said a word of thanks, and stopped talking.

"Hehe, Xiongfeng, this kid is not bad, and he actually knows how to choose things carefully. Leng Feng glanced at the amethyst bracelet, and also knew that the price of this thing was not expensive, and it was a plaything, and he was also a little happy.

After accompanying his daughter to see the gifts of those high-ranking officials and rich people, Leng Feng didn't find anything too valuable, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said sorry to the guests who were the size of the cold eyebrows, and left his daughter and went to entertain others with his wife Zheng Hongmei.

It's just that Zheng Hongmei glanced at Lu Chong with some suspicion when she left, which made Lu Chong a little confused.

However, Lu Chong didn't take it seriously, and when everyone was almost done giving gifts, Lu Chong also handed it to Leng Mei with his own gift, and said, "Well, congratulations on your adult and happy birthday." ”

"Xie Lu Xie!" Leng Mei nodded, although her words were very calm, but a strange light flashed in her eyes, she glanced at Lu Chong deeply, and Leng Mei asked curiously: "Lu Chong, can I take a look at the gift you gave?"

Taking the box handed over by Lu Chong, Leng Mei suddenly became a little curious for some reason, and took the initiative to ask.

"This thing has been given to you, you need to open it without my consent. Lu Zhong smiled and said.

"Xie Lu Xie ......" said thank you coldly, and began to carefully remove the packaging of this gift box.

...... "Mom, uncle, aunt, and sister-in-law, Lu Chong is also here today, you still don't know what to do." Ah, where is he? It seems to be giving a gift to Leng Mei. Zhao Ziyu said and stretched out his hand to point to the crowd where Lu Chong was.

Lu Chong?

Xiao Yujie, Zhao Yuanyi, Ji Ying, and Liu Wanqiong were all hot in their hearts, and hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by Zhao Ziyu. After discovering that it was really Lu Chong, the four of them hurriedly said "unaccompanied" to the people around them, and walked in the direction where Lu Chong was.

Dongfang Linglong also looked at Lu Chong, after what happened last time, coupled with the importance of the Zhao family to Lu Chong, now she doesn't know that Lu Chong has unpredictable medical skills.

Seeing the people of the Zhao family walking towards Lu Chong, she was a little hesitant and very embarrassed to rush over. What happened a few days ago made her embarrassed to face this Lu Chong who had seen her whole body.

"Shall I go over and thank him? After all, he did save my life. After thinking about it, Dongfang Linglong also strongly suppressed the shyness in her heart and walked in the direction of Lu Chong, she was not an ungrateful person.

And Dongfang Baoyu and Ao Yuling, who were next to Dongfang Linglong, looked at Dongfang Linglong, Zhao Ziyu and the beautiful woman - Liu Wanqiong suspiciously. I followed......

The other side.

Zheng Qiuli also saw Lu Chong, and hurriedly pulled his father's clothes, and said in surprise: "Hey, Dad, do you see it? Lu Chong's little brother appeared and was giving a gift to Xiao Lengmei." ”...,

Zheng Tianle nodded violently when he heard this: "Ha Luha, yes, it's a little heavy." He bought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in my store yesterday, and I think there is a calligraphy work for the eyebrows, hehe, I have to go and see how Xiaozhong's calligraphy and painting level is......"

Before the words fell, Zheng Tianle rushed over in the direction of Lu Chong and Leng Mei.

"Grandpa, wait for me. I'm also going to see Uncle Lu Chong......" Seeing his grandfather running away, little Situ Weiqi also screamed.

Listening to Situ Weiqi's child's call, Zheng Qiuli hurriedly picked up his son and hurried in the direction where Lu Zhong was.

found Zhao Yuanyi's family, Zheng Tianle and Zheng Qiuli's father and daughter actually rushed to the direction where Leng Mei was again, and many people were surprised. His gaze also moved with the centaurs.

And Leng Feng, Zheng Hongmei and others also discovered this situation, and couldn't help but follow Leng Mei curiously.

Even Leng Feng, Zhao Yuanyi, Zheng Tianle and others rushed to the cold eyebrows again, and many people also had the idea of joining in the fun and walked over.

As a result, the eyes of the people in the entire Leng family compound began to spontaneously gather in the direction where Leng Mei was again.

Everyone was a little curious, they didn't understand why Zhao Yuanyi, Zheng Tianle, Leng Feng and others rushed to the side of the girl with cold eyebrows. The girl's coming-of-age ceremony is over.

...... Leng Mei opened the gift box, and when he saw that it was a picture scroll, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and slowly opened the picture scroll.

Post stations, ancient roads, howling north winds, withered branches, carriages, plum blossoms that are proud of snow and frost......

A kind of ancient charm rushed towards him, and even the cold eyebrows could feel an extreme coldness from the painting scroll.

Then Lu You's song "Fortune Operator Yongmei" also fell in Leng Mei's eyes.

Outside the post by the broken bridge, lonely and ownerless, it is already dusk alone and sad......

Linmo is Dong Qichang's calligraphy!

And the essence of Dong Qichang's calligraphy, that kind of elegant atmosphere can make you feel it at the first time.

What's more important is that there is also the author's signature on this painting and calligraphy: Lu Zhong made it on February 13 of the last year of B for Leng Mei's eighteenth birthday......

Astound!

Joy from the bottom of my heart!

Leng Mei felt that this was the most precious gift he had received today.

"Meimei, let my grandfather take a look, let me see Xiaozhong's calligraphy and paintings......" At this time, Zheng Tianle rushed over excitedly, and almost reached out to grab it from Leng Mei's hand.

Zheng Tianle's achievements in Chinese culture are quite high, not to mention the antique calligraphy and painting that he has played all his life, and his appreciation ability is second to none in the entire Yancheng City.

When I saw the general situation of the calligraphy and painting in Leng Mei's hand, I could feel that the skill of this calligraphy and painting was extremely weak. Yes, I was very excited.

Leng Mei could understand his grandfather, and of course he also wanted to see his grandfather's evaluation of this painting and calligraphy, so he hurriedly handed the painting and calligraphy in his hand to Tou Tianle.
