As a traditional Korean ceremony, the coming-of-age ceremony is developed from the traditional coming-of-age ceremony of the Chinese Han family, the crown ceremony and the flute ceremony. Before the Goryeo period in ancient Korea, the coming-of-age ceremony was highly valued, and on this important festival, all men and women who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony were required to wear traditional costumes, with boys wearing hats and girls combing their children, indicating that they would be adults from now on and would need to assume family and social responsibilities. The first customary "crown" in the so-called "crown wedding and funeral offering" in Korea refers to this coming-of-age ceremony.

But with the passage of time and the influence of Western culture, the traditional Korean rite of passage is gradually disappearing, and is replaced by a relatively Westernized way of celebrating the rite of passage, which is popular among the majority of young people, such as roses, perfume and kiss, which have become the most common gifts received by Korean youth on the day of coming of age.

According to reason, Cui Zhenlong, who was born in 88, could have participated in the coming-of-age ceremony last year, but at that time he was still studying in the United States, and he couldn't find time to return to China to celebrate this festival, and he was very unfortunate to miss the Korean legal "coming-of-age day" in May this year, so the Cui couple planned to hold a separate coming-of-age ceremony for him on the 20th birthday of their own son.

And on such a special day, it is of great significance to Cui Zhenlong himself, and even the entire Cui family, it must not be so hasty, and the ceremony that is too Westernized does not seem to be appropriate, so today's coming-of-age ceremony still follows many traditions and ancient rituals.

To this end, the Cui couple also specially hired a team of professionals to operate the entire process of this ceremony, in which the staffing and various steps in the process of the coming-of-age ceremony follow the opinions of these professionals, and each detail has very strict requirements, and there is no room for sloppiness.

Among the important people who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony, in addition to the protagonist Cui Zhenlong, they were divided into "master", "Zhengbin", "praiser", and "Youji".

The so-called "master", as the name suggests, refers to the head of the family, according to the ancient clan system, it must be served by the male clan elders, so for Choi Jinlong's coming-of-age ceremony, grandfather Choi Jong Kook and uncle Choi Geng Ho also specially rushed over from Busan.

As for the "Zhengbin", it refers to the person who crowns the crown, and it is generally held by a respected elder. Originally, the most suitable object was Professor Smith, Cui Zhenlong's tutor at New York University, but unfortunately the other party was a foreigner, and he may not fully understand such an oriental-style ancient ceremony, and the two countries were far apart and inconvenient to come and go, so he retreated to the second best place, and Choi Jong Kook invited Principal Yoo of Busan Namsung Elementary School to play this important role.

The remaining "Praiser" and "Yousi" are actually the assistants of "Zhengbin" when they are crowned, and the former assists the crowner in combing his hair and changing clothes; The latter is a tray for the crowner, with the necessary items for crowning on the plate, and it just so happens that Cui Zhenlong's three younger siblings are capable of these two errands.

In order to ensure that there were no mistakes in the whole ceremony, Choi Zhenlong and his family came to the venue of the ceremony early, the North Korean Hotel, and everyone rehearsed and rehearsed the entire ceremony many times under the guidance of a professional team. As the saying goes, you can't lose face if you lose anything, and you can't be negligent on such a serious occasion.

As for the number of guests invited to watch the ceremony this time, it is also huge, at least more than 400 people, in addition to their own familiar relatives and friends, there are also familiar government officials, senior personnel of Ningyuan Group and its subordinate branches, as well as Cui Gengyou's partners in the business field and other elites from all walks of life.

However, Cui Zhenlong himself read another implicit meaning from it, and put it more bluntly, this time his coming-of-age ceremony is actually a large-scale social event!

With such fanfare, on the one hand, it is indeed to celebrate Cui Zhenlong's official adulthood, but the main purpose is that Cui Gengyou wants to officially introduce his eldest son to the important people in his network. Whether this is in officialdom, in the business world, or in other fields, such examples are not uncommon.

Although the purpose of holding a coming-of-age ceremony is not so simple, Cui Zhenlong is not disgusted, he himself runs several companies, and it is essential to be well versed in human contacts, and it is a good thing for him to be able to expand his contacts through his father's matchmaking.

"Prosecutor Park, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the dog's coming-of-age ceremony!"

"President Kim, welcome! Inside please! If there is any inconsiderate greeting, please understand! ”

"Yingzhi Oni, welcome~~"

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Cui couple stood at the door of the hotel in full costume and with a smile on their faces to greet the guests who came to watch the ceremony.

"Brother~ You're here!" Choi Gengyou smiled and greeted a family of four led by a sturdy man, who was none other than Sister Jung so-yeon and their parents. And Dad Zheng and Cui Gengyou are old acquaintances, and the latter's ability to maintain such a good figure in middle age is directly related to the fact that he often goes to Dad Zheng's boxing club to exercise.

"Xiuyan and Xiujing, the two children haven't seen each other for a long time, and they're really getting more and more beautiful! Wait for those boys in our family to be a little older, brother~ Do you say it's okay..."I don't know what kind of wind Cui Gengyou smoked today, but in front of the two girls, he pulled up the red line, does it mean that middle-aged men also have a heart that is old when they are old?

Fortunately, Park Xiuhui stabbed him in the waist with her elbow in time, so that the latter suddenly realized that he had lost his words, his own stinky boy had indeed dated his friend's daughter for a while, although the parents of both sides did not make a clear statement because the children were still young, but they were happy to see it, but I don't know why the two broke up suddenly, and their own kid ran to the United States because of this bad anger, and it was really unproductive!!

"Brother, taking advantage of today's rare opportunity, I'll introduce a few friends to you later, and everyone can go for a drink together after the ceremony!" Cui Gengyou hurriedly started haha and diverted the topic, and Park Xiuhui also pulled the other mother's daughter and the three of them to shush and ask for warmth, which made the embarrassing atmosphere between the two sides dissipate a lot immediately.

After welcoming the family, the Cui couple continued to work today, although they were physically tired, but they did not dare to slack off mentally, but what they didn't expect was that there would be guests uninvited!

"Choi Geng-woo xi, Park so-hui senior, I take the liberty to visit today, please Haehan!"

The Cui couple looked at the young woman who bowed to them with a shocked face, and the couple couldn't help but glance at each other, although the time of eye contact between the two sides was very short, but the good tacit understanding formed by living together for many years made them understand the meaning of the other party in an instant, and the young woman in front of them was not invited by either of them.

"Li Yunxinxi, it is the supreme honor of our family that you can personally participate in the children's coming-of-age ceremony!" Fortunately, Park Xiuhui reacted quickly and did not make any rude moves.

"Senior, you're so polite! Speaking of which, the relationship between the two of us is quite close, Hyunjun oppa is your sister-in-law, you are my senior sister, Zhenlong and I met each other when we were studying in the United States, and we lived together for a while. ”

Li Yunxin's words seemed to have made the Cui couple a little misunderstood, especially the word "living together", which completely touched Park Xiuhui's sensitive nerves as a woman, "What has the stinky boy done in the past few years when he went to the United States?" It seems that there are still many things he is hiding from us! ”

The couple has already made up their minds in their hearts, and after today's coming-of-age ceremony is over, they must "torture Cui Zhenlong to extract a confession", in addition to the relationship between him and Li Yunxin, all the previous entanglements between him and Zheng Xiuyan must be explained one by one! It's unforgivable that many things are kept in the dark by these parents!
