The ceremony was held in the Qingzheng Hall next to the family temple, and most of the people present were female dependents.

When the auspicious time comes, the joy of music sounds, and the ceremony begins.

Two plus complete.

In this way, when Wei finishes reciting: with the auspiciousness of the year, with the order of the month, the three gars, the eternal life of Baozi, and the end of the virtue, by the celebration of the sky.

Add hairpin crown, dress with large sleeves and long skirts, three plus completion, all completed by Liu's guidance, the whole process, as smooth as flowing water, Zheng Sui later heard Cai Fu mention, only to know that Liu's is famous in Xingyang, this time the sister-in-law asked Liu's to come forward to preside over the sister's ceremony, and it took a lot of effort.

A servant woman stepped forward to remove the ceremonial furnishings and set up a banquet at the west step.

After Zheng Fan returned the salute, he stood on the west side of the banquet, facing south, Wei turned to the west, Zheng Fan turned to the north, Wei took the liquor from Ruan Qi Niangzi, walked to Zheng Fan, and recited the greetings and said: Gan Li is only thick, recommend Lingfang, worship and accept the sacrifice, to set Erxiang, inherit the rest of the sky, and never forget the longevity test.

After Zheng Feng bowed, he took the liquor and Wei bowed back.

Then, led by the Liu family, Zheng Fan knelt on the table, sprinkled part of the wine on the ground as a sacrificial wine, and then held the wine glass to his lips, and then placed the wine glass on the table.

Later, a servant woman served a meal, Zheng Fan took it, ate a little, and handed it to the servant woman on the side, Zheng Fan bowed to Wei, Wei bowed back, Zheng Fan got up and left the table, and stood on the east side of the west steps, facing south.

Hearing Liu's singing and cheering: "Please give the word." ”

Wei's face east, at this time, Zheng Han, who had been standing unmoved, got up and came over, facing west, Wei took the word for Zheng Fan, and read the greetings and said: The etiquette is ready, the moon is auspicious, the word Zhaoer, the word Kongjia, the woman is appropriate, it is appropriate to be in it, it is always protected, and it is said to be sensitive.

This word was taken by Aya a long time ago.

I only heard Zheng Fan reply: "Although Minzhi is not wise, he dares not to sleep all night." After that, he bowed to Wei, and Weishi returned the salute and returned to the west steps.

After Zheng Fan bowed three times, he heard Liu's singing and cheering: "Please give a lecture to the little lady." ”

Then, Zheng Han's voice sounded, which was clear and audible: filial piety, kindness, gentleness, frugality, frugality, and humility, no overflow, no arrogance, no deception, the ancient precept is the style, and you keep it. ”

Zheng Fan said: "Although the son is not wise, he dares not to accept it." ”

After that, Zheng Fan saluted the guests, and the guests replied, and heard Liu's singing and shouting: Licheng.

This was the end of the ceremony, and it took about an hour.

The sister-in-law wanted to entertain the guests with the eldest aunt, Zheng Sui did not follow, so she went to the east room to visit the fourth sister Zheng Fan, and saw that although the fourth sister Zheng Fan was tired, she was still talking to the little ladies of today's family.

The little lady who came today is the noble daughter of the four families in Xingyang, and Zheng Fan and Zheng Mian have known each other since childhood, only Zheng Sui felt strange, Zheng Sui only sat for a while, and felt bored, so he went back to Wangzheng Garden first.

"Sister Caifu, do you think that there is one less person at the banquet today?" Zheng Sui sat on the couch and read the album, and suddenly looked up at Caifu on the side.

Unexpectedly, before Cai Fu answered, Du Heng preemptively said: "Without Cui Niangzi, Cui Niangzi didn't go today?"

As soon as she heard this, Zheng Sui nodded and hummed, yes, it was missing Cui Niangzi, and she felt that when Aya and Sister received the Wei family who was the guest of honor on the eastern stage, she felt that something was wrong, it turned out that it was out of here, and the parents who usually stood there were not all the parents of the people.

Thinking of this, Zheng Sui couldn't help asking, "Is Cong's mother (Cui Siniangzi) sick today?

"Haven't you heard of this?" Du Heng shook his head.

Not to mention, Zheng Sui asked this, and at night, Zheng Jing returned to Shouqin Garden and asked the Li family the same thing.

Li only shook his head and said: "I don't know, it was ordered by my aunt, and I don't need to participate from my mother (Cui Siniangzi)." "It is said that Cui Siniang has been straightened, and Siniang Zheng Fan is her biological daughter, so she should participate, but after listening to the temporary instructions of the eldest aunt Zhuge Shi, she is not easy to ask.

Zheng Jing naturally thought of this, and couldn't help frowning, although he didn't care much about how much dignity his mother could have at home, but at least for the sake of Siniang Ahe's face, this dignity should be given today, reasoning, how could the aunt not mind this.
