"The etiquette is ready, the moon is auspicious, and the word is announced. The word Kong Jia, the fashionable person is suitable. It is advisable to be fake, and it will always be insured. Said Xian Jingfu. As the eldest princess of Qingping, who served as the main guest, solemnly finished the last prayer.
As the protagonist, Ning Yazhi immediately saluted him, "Although she is not sensitive, she dares not to come at night." β
After the eldest princess of Qingping returned to the throne, Ning Yazhi knelt in front of her parents and listened to the teachings.
Zhenguo Gong Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Demure and well-behaved, my father is very comforting." May my son be blessed with peace, joy, carefreeness, and a smooth life. β
After listening to her husband's words, Yao couldn't help but glance at him. This is like a teaching, and there is not a word of truth.
Yao didn't care about this unreliable husband, and said solemnly: "Today is the end of the day, and the son is an adult." To take the word demure for the child, I hope that the child can be demure and elegant in the future, abide by the harem discipline, think twice about everything, and do not act rashly. β
After her mother finished speaking, Ning Yazhi replied: "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not accept it." After answering, she solemnly bowed to her parents.
Next, Ning Yazhi stood in the center of the venue and successively bowed to all the guests, guests, musicians, priests, praisers, parents and so on.
While saluting Chi Fei, one of the guests, she also winked mischievously.
In the end, Ning Yazhi and her parents were side by side, and Ning Zhiyuan, the prince of Zhenguo, announced to all the participants with great confidence: "The little girl's graceful ceremony has been completed, thank you for your gracious participation." Then together with Ning Yazhi, he bowed to the audience again to express his gratitude.
At this point, the entire ceremony officially ended, which also opened the eyes of Chi Fei, a modern person.
Although he had seen the ceremony when he had watched it before, it was written in a relatively brief manner, which was really different from what he saw today.
In ancient times, women's rituals were actually very complicated, especially for young ladies from large families, who had to be carried out according to the ancient rites.
In addition to the guests who watched the ceremony, there were four official participants, namely the host, usually the parents of the deceitful; Zhengbin, a virtuous and talented female elder; There is a division, a person who is a tray for the retainer; The praiser, who assists the guest in the salute, is generally a friend or sister of the person.
The Duchess of Zhenguo, Yao, specially invited the eldest daughter Ning Yashan's future mother-in-law, Princess Qingping, to serve as the main guest.
First, the eldest princess of Qingping is the elder sister of Jinshang after all, and her identity is enough, and secondly, she can also take the opportunity to get closer to the relationship between the two families.
There is a division served by Yao's sister-in-law, Qiao, the wife of the criminal department.
The praiser is Ning Yazhi's sister Ning Yashan.
During the ceremony, the devotees perform three plus three prostrations.
The so-called three plus means that different clothes and ornaments are put on in turn, and then the corresponding prayer is recited by the guest, and the person who is on the guard then bows in turn. Every time it's a plus a worship, and there's no mess at all.
The costumes of the three Jialu have different meanings, symbolizing the process of the girl's growth.
At first, the dishman wore a pure color of clothes, symbolizing the innocent girl.
After the first addition, it is necessary to change into a light-colored and elegant skirt to symbolize the innocence of the cardamom girl. After the second addition, he changed into a dignified curly deep coat, symbolizing the bright flower girl; After three pluses, she changed into a grand long-sleeved dress to symbolize a dignified adult girl.
It took more than an hour just to change three sets of clothes and then pray one by one. Not to mention the time and effort spent on various preparations in the early stage.
The whole ceremony is very complicated, but there is a sense of solemn tradition.
After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Zhenguo were treated separately as male and female guests. Male guests go to the outer courtyard, female guests go to the inner courtyard, and there are many small servants, maids, and mothers-in-law who are responsible for leading the way and greeting them, which is very lively.
This time, Ning Yazhi's courtesy, Zhen Guogong and his wife did not make a big deal, and only invited familiar relatives and friends. But even so, there are still a lot of visitors.
As the fiancΓ© of today's protagonist Ning Yazhi, Chi Fei is naturally very eye-catching.
Ning Zhiyuan also intended to introduce him to everyone, so he took him to communicate with various male guests.
Although Chi Fei is essentially an otaku who doesn't like to socialize, he can't let his father-in-law lose face as a son-in-law-to-be, so he greets the guests with a decent smile along the way.
The attitude is calm and generous, without the slightest stage fright, which makes people have a good impression of him.
Many people can see that Ning Zhiyuan is very interested in this civilian son-in-law, not only took the initiative to introduce him to everyone, but also did not feel ashamed of his civilian status at all, and he was smiling all the time, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
After the banquet in the evening, Ning Zhiyuan left Chi Fei behind to discuss the marriage.
"Now that Xiao Zhi has reached the end of the marriage, when do you want to get married?" Ning Zhiyuan asked straight to the point.
"Although Ah Zhi has reached the end of her life, she is still too young, and her son-in-law thinks it is not too late to wait for another two years."
Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile: "A woman can get married when she is married, and she is already an adult."
When your mother-in-law married me, she was only that age.
I'm not afraid to tell you honestly that there may be war in the northwest in the next two years. I'm afraid that I will have to put on armor and go into battle again, and I won't have time to handle your marriage at that time, so it's better for you to get married as soon as possible. β
Since his father-in-law had already said this, of course Chi Fei couldn't refuse, so he had to compromise: "Then thank you father-in-law for making it happen." It's just that the son-in-law thinks that after Ah Zhi is over the age of sixteen, it is better for us to have a round house. β
"Okay, I'm very happy that you can cherish Xiaozhi. That's it. β
"Yes, father-in-law."
After coming out of Ning Zhiyuan's study, Chi Fei really saw Ning Yazhi standing outside waiting for him as usual.
This stupid girl obviously told her not to wait any longer.
Chi Fei walked over a little helplessly, and then took her little hand and walked to the garden with ease.
Along the way, Ning Yazhi didn't make a sound, just followed him obediently with a red face.
"Tired, aren't you? It's been a busy day today. After coming to the garden, Chi Fei asked.
"Fortunately, I used to ride horses to practice martial arts, and I was able to hold on.
My sister was so tired that she rested for two days before she recovered.
Those two days were the quietest two days I lived, and no one said that I was wrong or bad. Ning Yazhi stuck out her little tongue a little proudly.
"Silly girl." Chi Fei lightly scratched her nose, then took out a small bag from her body and pulled out the objects inside.
"It's a gift from you, though it's not a good thing." Chi Fei put that thing on Ning Yazhi's left ring finger, and it was just the right size.
Ning Yazhi looked at it and saw that on the ring finger of her left hand, there was a round gold ring, and the outward end of the ring was inlaid with a crystal clear sapphire.
"It's ...... Ring? Ning Yazhi looked at the ring on her hand very curiously.
Although some people use rings as jewelry, not many people use them. Generally, common women's jewelry is mainly hairpins, bracelets, necklaces, and jade pendants.
"Yes, it's also called a ring. I put it on your hand to show that I have lassoed you, and you will be my person from now on. β
When Ning Yazhi heard this, her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, but the corners of her mouth showed a smile that she couldn't contain.
Chi Fei hugged her body and said, "I discussed it with my father-in-law just now, and when your sister gets married, we will follow suit, okay?" β
Ning Yazhi grabbed his clothes a little softly and nodded slightly.
Chi Fei stroked the hair on the back of her head and said, "Ah Zhi, don't worry, I will treat you well in the future, don't be afraid." β
"I'm not afraid...... Not afraid at all...... I just feel happy...... I'm really happy......" Ning Yazhi hugged him very excitedly, tears flowed down unconsciously, and her heart was so soft that it seemed to turn into a puddle of water.
She dreamed of marrying him and officially becoming his wife.
