Adult (5)
The ceremony was held in the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion --- Hongyi Hall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the old lady and her party arrived, the hall was already full of people, and the coming-of-age ceremony was generally divided into separate ceremonies, with men in the outer courtyard and women in the inner hall.
However, considering that Mu Yi and Mu Nuo are twin sisters and brothers, and the ceremony should be held at an auspicious time, they are not separated, and they are held together in this main hall, so it is rare to see such a lively main hall.
Several good adults who were officials in the same dynasty as Marquis Shen brought their families over, including the pioneers of the Rongma Frontier, the students who had just entered the court, and naturally the young lady of the boudoir who had not yet decided to marry.
You must know that generally speaking, the coming-of-age ceremony is actually a blind date in disguise.
Everyone is trying to see how the young lady of this family is, how the young master of that family is, if they are of the same age, and their appearance is okay, then they are candidates for marriage.
Therefore, when Mu Yi and Mu Nuo appeared in front of everyone, it caused a lot of turmoil.
The old lady of the Shen family is as tough as she was back then.
is already more than half a hundred years old, and he walks without the posture of an old man, with his back straight and his eyes like torches.
And Mu Nuo on the left-hand side has a good skin, handsome eyebrows, a tall figure, so calm at a young age, revealing a killing atmosphere, but he is well hidden.
But Cheng Si, who had been on the battlefield, could see at a glance that he was different, he was a young son of the Shen family, and he turned out to be such a talent.
Speaking of Cheng Hei, he just turned 20 years old this year and is the second son of Cheng Fu.
After many years of training on the battlefield, he is not like the son of the powerful of the Houmen in Beijing, and his tough facial features and body, dark skin and energetic appearance make him the most special one among the many people who come to watch the ceremony.
The Cheng family is a loyal martyr, and it is also a general to protect the family and defend the country, Cheng Laoguan worships a general and is stationed on the northern border all the year round, and Qucheng is one of the border cities under his jurisdiction.
And Cheng Si's elder brother fought in the Beimu Kingdom in his early years, sacrificed his life for the country, and his sister-in-law died after great sorrow, leaving only a 6-year-old nephew, who was taken care of by Cheng's mother.
The Cheng family didn't plan to let Cheng Si also join the army, but how could there be a bloodless man after the gate, he quietly signed up to join the army at the age of sixteen, and he has been fighting bloodily to become the vanguard of the Chinese army from an unknown soldier, and when General Cheng found him, it was too late.
However, I am still moved and proud in my heart, and the blood of the Cheng family can only shine in the field after all.
Standing next to Cheng Si was Cheng Mu, who looked at Mu Yi's appearance, and said softly to Cheng Si, "Hei'er, this eldest lady of the Hou Mansion looks like a person who can match you, what do you think?" ”
"Mother, don't forget that I will return to Qucheng in early April, then there is time to spend time in Kyoto, the girl is a good girl, don't hurt others."
Cheng Si said the truth, after seeing his brother die in battle and his sister-in-law passed away, he no longer has much nostalgia for his life's events.
Cheng's mother felt uncomfortable when she heard this.
is already twenty people, and there is no one around him who can take care of him, most of the men in Beijing who are the same age as him are married, and some even have the eldest son, and he is the only one, who is stationed on the frontier all day long, and is unwilling to return to Beijing to talk about lifelong events.
"You." Cheng's mother didn't know what to say about him, there was nothing wrong with protecting the family and defending the country, but it was not wrong for her to want her children to live a normal and happy life, but there was always no way to do both.
"Mother, my son was born to defend the territory of my Eastern Enlightenment Kingdom, so don't worry about me."
Cheng Si's smile was particularly eye-catching, and several young ladies who had not yet discussed kissing blushed when they saw him, including Mu Nuo.
People are like that, they are always attracted to similar people.
When Mu Nuo looked at Cheng Si, Cheng Si also looked at Mu Nuo.
After a glance, you know that this person can be delivered.
It is rare to see that Mu Nuo will be distracted from looking at others, Mu Yi is a little curious, and looks at him with his eyes, Cheng Si.
At first sight, Mu Yi was a little shocked, wasn't he his boss in his previous life, Luo Jiaqi?
Could it be that he wore it too?
No, what's going on.
Feeling a beam of hot eyes looking at him, Cheng Si sensitively looked away from Mu Nuo, and instead stared at Mu Yi.
It is undeniable that Mu Yi is indeed beautiful after dressing up, and she is also top-notch among these boudoir ladies she has seen in the capital, but Cheng Si is indeed interested in her eyes.
Clever and intelligent, but very defensive and curious about him, what is the situation?
The old lady is a shrewd person, looking at the appearance of the two, you know that there is a play, Cheng Si, this child is really good, and his character and family background are good.
But the burden on his body is too heavy, and he is really not suitable for Mu Yi, and he is not a candidate who can be trusted.
So he gently pulled Mu Yi's hand, "Child, go and see your father." ”
Mu Yi was pulled out of his memories all of a sudden, no, I'm going to find a chance to test him later, if he really came through, then he is the only connection between Mu Yi and his previous life.
"Well, Grandma knows." After speaking, he withdrew his gaze from Cheng Si and looked at the people standing in front of the hall.
If it weren't for the fact that his face was five points similar to Arnold's, Mu Yi would definitely not give him a good look.
It turns out that this is the legendary father.
Dressed in an ink-colored robe with a red belt, his face was cold, and there was no warmth in his eyes when he looked at Mu Yi and Mu Nuo.
Mu Yi is okay, he has no feelings for him, he just hugs his mother for the whole fourteen years, why is he locked up for his mother for fourteen years.
Muno hated him even more.
Boys should mature later than women, but Muno is not ordinary from being cautious, and he has always kept the matter of not having a father in his heart, and he has long been very complaining after years of accumulation.
Coupled with his ruthlessness towards his mother, Aunt Luyi, and the entire wooden courtyard, Mu Nuo also saw them all.
Such a father, if he wants to make Mu Nuo recognize each other, don't even think about it, if he didn't want to correct his mother's name, he wouldn't be standing here today, and he wants to bow down to a "father" who has never raised and never cared about them.
Different from the piety of bowing to the old lady, Mu Nuo and Mu Yi stood up after saluting Marquis Shen according to the rules, with the same expressionless faces.
The people who watched the ceremony looked at each other, what is the situation?
A concubine who is not favored?
If that's the case, then a lot of things have to be reconsidered.
The old lady knew what they were thinking when she saw everyone's appearance, since the children were adults, they should pave the way, if Shen Yi didn't pave the road today, then she came.
"Yi'er, today is a big day for the two children to become adults, what about your father's gift? I heard from the housekeeper that your gift was prepared half a year ago, so take it and give it to Ah Yu and Arnold in person. The old lady's personal word was very heavy.
Shen Yi naturally understood what she meant, the way the two children blamed him, he naturally knew, he didn't want to have a cold face, but after many years of being an official in the court, he had become accustomed to the way of having no waves, and under the reminder of the old lady, he relaxed a little.
After his face was soothed a little, he asked the butler to present the gift.
