CH.036 Adult Rites and the Return of Yi'er
Yi'er gasped for air, her heart racing. She was stunned by the memories and the scenes. But she didn't know that Manna was already standing in front of her.
"Ate it." Namana's hat still covered her face. Only blood-red lips are exposed. Yi'er's frightened ears were like stuffed with donkey hair, and she only saw Manna's mouth open and closed.
Manna pinched her chin, two black pills, and forced them into her mouth. Yi'er suddenly woke up from a dream and struggled desperately. Her arms fluttered, but she inadvertently lifted her hat.
Both of them stopped suddenly. "Your face".
Five years later, on the third day of March
The Zhang family is busy up and down. Today is a special day, which is the traditional ceremony and the birthday of Shi'er. Yaoyao even dressed Shi'er beautifully.
After Yaoyao's dressing up. Shi'er looked at herself in the mirror.
The white face was painted with pink rouge, the willow leaves bent their eyebrows, and the thin lips were dyed festive red for the first time.
The hair is not the same girl's head as before, but is combed by the mother into a flying fairy bun, and a golden hairpin is fixed in the bun. And a pale pink light gauze long skirt highlights his mature body even more.
"I love the girl so beautiful, it's like a fairy descending to earth." Yaoyao said while looking at Shi'er. "Mother, don't say it, I'm embarrassed to say it. By the way, mother, will Yi'er come back today? The poet said slowly, quite like everyone's beautiful girl.
"My will." Yaoyao suddenly sat on the chair like a deflated ball. Looking at the wrinkles in the corners of her mother's eyes, Shi'er couldn't help but sigh.
"Mother, since Yi'er left, there has been no news of Liao. But don't worry, I'm sure Yi'er will come back, so don't worry. Shi'er held her mother's shoulder and persuaded.
Yaoyao put her hand on Shi'er's hand. "Don't worry, my mother is fine. There are so many guests waiting outside, let's go out. Yaoyao said that, and walked towards the garden with Shi'er.
The neighborhood was shocked to see Miss Shi'er come out. Especially Zhang Haoran, looking at his beautiful cousin, couldn't help but straighten his eyes.
"Cousin, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. It's not the little girl of the year. Zhang Haoran walked over and smiled exaggeratedly. Cousin, don't laugh, you are handsome and chic, and the jade tree is in the wind. Shi'er replied to Zhang Haoran.
Zhang Haoran took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Shi'er.
"Cousin, this is my gift to you, you can open it and take a look." Haoran said. Shi'er opened the small box, and a jade pendant came into view.
"Thank you, cousin, I know that my cousin likes rabbits, I like it very much." Shi'er looked at it for a moment, and then put the jade rabbit pendant into the small box.
"Shi'er, come with me. Haoran, take a seat. Yaoyao said, and Haoran entered the table next to her father.
"What are Dad and Grandpa doing?" Shi'er asked her mother. "Your father greeted the guests outside the door. Your grandfather is old and doesn't like to be noisy, so he stays in the room. The banquet will be held in a while, and you can bring some food to your grandfather. Yaoyao explained. Good. Shi'er looked at everyone with a smile on her face, and responded at the same time.
"The guests and friends of the Zhang family, the neighbors. Everyone is welcome to attend the ceremony of Miss Cheung Sze-er. Now I have invited Zhang Shier's father, Jin Chengkai, to give a speech for his beloved daughter. After a male master of ceremonies finished speaking, he saw Jin Chengkai running from the door. Burst into laughter.
"As for me, I'm not a talented person who reads poetry and books, so I don't know how to speak. On weekdays, I will only do some trading. Now that my beloved daughter has grown up, I am very happy. The biggest wish is to hope that my beloved daughter will get married as soon as possible and have a home of her own. After Kaneshiro finished speaking, he bowed to everyone.
"Her father, Shi'er has just come of age, so she wants to marry her?" Yaoyao pinched him beside her. The guests laughed.
Seeing this, the master of ceremonies immediately coughed. "Next, I would like to ask Mrs. Zhang to give a few words of speech." Yaoyao immediately stepped forward. "Thank you very much for coming to this mansion today, today is not only Shi'er's ceremony, but also Shi'er's birthday" Speaking of this, Yaoyao suddenly shed tears.
"Mother, I know you miss your sister, don't cry." Shi'er persuaded his mother, and Kaneshiro Kaiya lowered his head, tears filling his eyes.
The master of ceremonies saw this situation and said. "Next, a few words from Shi'er."
"Friends, relatives and friends, friends from the neighborhood. I Zhang Yi'er is an adult today, my father and grandfather have done too much for me, I will honor them more in the future, and at the same time, I hope that my sister will come back and reunite with us as soon as possible. As soon as the poem came out, the people in the courtyard applauded.
"Please take your seats, and the table will be opened immediately." The master of ceremonies has just finished speaking. A voice comes to the ear.
"Wait." Everyone looked out the door for the sound. I saw a woman wearing a purple silk gauze skirt, her hair combed in a single bun, a pair of charming and moving eyes under the willow leaves' curved eyebrows, and her red lips could drip blood, walking towards Shi'er.
"Yi'er !!" Shi'er blurted out. Jin Cheng Kai and Yaoyao's mouths have become O-shaped. Not only the two of them, but the entire courtyard were amazed by this person's appearance.
"Sister, I'm back." Looking at the three people in a daze, she opened her mouth first. "Don't you know Yi'er?" She spoke softly, so softly. Yaoyao suddenly hugged Yi'er as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"Yi'er, you're back. Mother wants to kill you. Yaoyao howled and cried, Lian Jin Chengkai and Shi'er cried, and the four of them hugged each other.
Zhang Haoran was also moved to cry when she saw it, Sister Yi'er finally came back, and she was so humble and polite.
"Father, mother, sister, shouldn't I be happy to be back? Don't cry. "Yi'er persuaded." Yi'er, you have grown up and become sensible, my mother is so happy. Come and let's sit down and eat. With that, Yaoyao took Yi'er's hand and sat down at the table.
"The table is now open." As soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to his place, and one dish after another was put on the table.
"Yi'er, how have you been doing in the past few years?" Yaoyao looked at Yi'er in front of her excitedly, although Yi'er was a little heavy makeup, her eyes were still full of aura.
"Daddy, sister. I've had a good life in the last few years. Manna was also good to me, she taught me piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and taught me etiquette. I'm not the yellow-haired girl I used to be anymore. Yi'er said as she picked up vegetables for her father and sister.
"I didn't expect that I would be as well-behaved as Shi'er now, I'm so pleased." Yaoyao burst into tears as she spoke. At this time, Shi'er and Yi'er looked at each other and smiled.
Shi'er looked at Yi'er's eyes, and suddenly she found that in Yi'er's eyes, in addition to the joy of getting together, there was also a trace of strangeness, but the strangeness was only a moment, and then disappeared.
