Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Gift of Peace (1)
Liu Dairuo's ceremony arrived soon, and Lin Tian got up early in the morning to get busy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Bingjingcheng naturally followed suit, and when he saw that the breakfast on the table hadn't moved at all, he grabbed her: "Come over and have breakfast first." ”
Lin Tian put down the box in his hand and responded, "I'm not hungry, you eat first." "You have to eat even if you're not hungry," Bing Jingcheng hugged her on his lap and looked at the breakfast on the table and said, "Look at what you want to eat?" ”
"Well, let's have a bowl of porridge then!" Lin sat aside and served himself porridge. Bing Jingcheng also drank the porridge, but before he could take two sips, he saw Lin Tian grunt a few big mouthfuls, then put down the empty bowl and ran to tidy up his things again.
"Tilt," Bing Jingcheng was a little angry, but only sighed, "You don't have to be so nervous, just go and have fun." Lin Tian opened the box, checked them one by one, and replied casually: "That can't be sloppy, people are the right daughter, I don't want to have some unnecessary trouble." ”
After some tossing, Lin Tian took his sister into the carriage. Bing Jingcheng was embarrassed to drive Lin Yun down, so he had to sit in a carriage by himself. About half an hour later, that is, two quarters of an hour later, I arrived in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Bing Jingcheng handed the post to the doorkeeper, and the group entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. There was a special maid and maid to introduce the female dependents into the inner courtyard, and Bing Jingcheng followed the family to the flower hall.
"Mrs. Bing, Miss Lin, my young lady is preparing to wait for the next ceremony, you two can visit the garden first, and then we will send someone to find you."
The maid who led the way stopped in front of the door of the weeping flower and said, "These two are the maids in the house, Chunlan and Chuntao, and then the slaves and maids will leave, and they will continue to serve the two." ”
Lin Tian politely replied: "Thank you for this sister for leading the way, there are two sisters of Lao." "Two maids, one leading the way, the other behind. The manners and manners they show are very much in the style of everyone.
I followed the maid for more than a quarter of an hour, during which I passed through five verandahs, jumped over three rainbow bridges, passed through the last moon gate, and finally came to the back garden. This garden is finely arranged, which is not comparable to the ice garden.
I don't know if it's to cater to today's gifts, the flowers in this garden are deliberately placed in different shapes. Even the most common flowers, when carefully arranged, can be eye-catching.
The garden was scattered with several gazebos, some of which already housed two or three people. Lin Tian didn't know them, so he took his sister to the vacant pavilion and sat down. A cool breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers fills the nose. The lotus flowers in the pond are blooming brightly, and they are dancing in the wind.
Chun Tao was originally following behind, but after entering the Moon Gate, she left alone along the verandah. After a while, several items were served. A small copper stove with exquisite workmanship, a slender holding pot, and a set of tea sets.
Place everything on the table, then place the pot on a small copper stove to heat. Soon, the water was boiling. The maid picked up the teacup, poured some boiling water into it, and shook it vigorously. After that, the boiling water was poured out and the cup was set aside.
Immediately after, she picked up a flat wooden spoon, took out some tea leaves from the small box, put it in the cup, and added a little water to make a paste. Boiling water is poured into the cup, while a bamboo whisk is stirred in the cup.
After a while, the delicate foam floated on the tea water, resembling a blooming peony. The maid gave the tea to the Lin Tian sisters, and then respectfully stepped aside and waited. Lin Tian picked up the teacup in front of him and looked at it, but he didn't expect that here, even making a tea has so many skills to pay attention to.
This teacup is also very distinctive, with uniform and fine veins in the black glaze, which looks as slender and soft as the hairs on a rabbit's body. Lin poured a sip of tea, the taste of this tea is a little thick, and the lips and teeth are fragrant after entering the mouth, without the slightest residue.
Lin Yun also tasted it carefully, for fear that her misbehavior would make people see the joke. After drinking a cup of tea, there were suddenly several footsteps behind him. Chunlan looked at the moon gate and said, "The big ceremony is about to begin, and the two young ladies are invited to the middle hall." ”
Lin Tian took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and replied, "Okay, please let the two sisters lead the way." At this time, the ladies who were originally playing in the garden all left for the middle hall. Along the way, I suddenly met a lot of young ladies, but I didn't know them.
Outside the middle hall, Lin Tian saw familiar faces. Qingping was surrounded by several young ladies at the moment, and happened to run into Lin Tian. "Kiyohei!" Lin Tian called happily. Qingping turned his head and found that Lin Tian was also here, and came to talk to her in surprise: "Ah Tian, why are you here too?" ”
"It was Miss Liu who invited me here," Lin Qian replied, and then introduced her sister to her, "This is my sister, Lin Yun, you can just call her Yun'er." Qingping looked at Lin Yun and said, "Since it's Ah Ting's sister, then call me Sister Qingping." ”
Lin Yun responded obediently: "Sister Qingping is good." Qingping smiled: "Yun'er is good." Lin Tian looked inside, and someone was already seated. So he took his sister with his left hand, held Qingping with his right hand, and said, "Let's go in!" ”
Several young ladies led by Cai Xinluan, the daughter of Cai Shangshu, originally planned to take the opportunity to curry favor with Qingping. But seeing that Qingping suddenly left them and went to talk to a woman he had never seen, and they talked happily, he couldn't help but guess which royal lady the two of them would be.
Either way, let's get on the good relationship first. Cai Xinluan stepped forward to greet and said, "Yo, these two young ladies look at Miansheng, Xinluan is so polite." The women who followed also saluted: "I've seen a few sisters." ”
Lin Tian was a little flattered, did they salute without saying a word? Qingping smiled and said, "Don't block the door, let's go in together!" Everyone was busy and went into the hall together.
There are chairs in the hall, but not everyone can sit on them. The women in this, except for Qingping, who can sit down as the county lord, only Lin Tian, the bride, can also sit down.
The rest of the women were not identious enough when they came, and they didn't come out of the cabinet, so they could only stand behind their chairs and watch. Lin Yun naturally stood behind Lin Lean, and Cai Xinluan stood behind Qingping.
As for the male guests, they are not allowed to come in and watch unless they are related relatives. So Bing Jingcheng didn't appear here, but stayed in the flower hall. At this moment, I must be talking to a big person!
There was a pile of jewelry on the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall, and a maid carried a tray covered with a red veil, which should be used for the crown ceremony. Everyone entered the hall, and then Liu Dairuo appeared in full costume.
Liu Dairuo's parents sat on the throne and looked at their daughter expectantly. I saw her looking straight ahead, walking steadily to the front of the hall step by step. It wasn't until he was in front of the elders that he stopped.
Then Liu Dairuo's mother, Liu Chen, stood up, and the maid stepped forward and handed over an incense burner. After Liu Chen took it, he took it and smoked it beside his daughter for a while. Then put the censer down and sit back in its place.
Immediately afterwards, a woman who sat up and stood up came to Liu Dairuo's side and said a warm message. After the congratulatory speech, the maid with the plate stepped forward. At the same time, Liu Dairuo knelt on the cushion and kowtowed to her parents.
The woman waited for Liu Dairuo to finish saluting, then removed the veil, took out the crown and flute inside, and solemnly helped Liu Dairuo put it on. After wearing the crown ceremony, Liu Dairuo went to the next room and changed into another dress.
After coming out again, Liu's father named his daughter the "word", called "Ruoshui". Liu Ruoshui got the "word", so he gave the elders a gift in return. After that, the coming-of-age ceremony is complete.
In the future, this "Ruoshui" will be what everyone calls her. And her original name will be sealed in her boudoir, and the world will not easily find out.
After the ceremony, the prime minister's wife set up a luncheon in the garden. The view from the garden is good, open and airy. Under the flowers, the atmosphere of the luncheon will be more lively than that of the dining room.
Lin Tian was able to see Bing Jingcheng at this time, and the two sat at the same table. Lin Yun occupied a table by herself instead, and Qingping saw that she was alone, so he invited her to sit with her. Lin Yun naturally wouldn't refuse, but it wasn't easy to really sit down.
