19. The gift of the curtain is now strange and the crowd rejoices and marvels

Since meeting strangers, Mulan has become accustomed to his style of seeing the head and not seeing the end, and Mulan does not argue, but still meets according to the appointment, practicing martial arts, playing chess, tasting tea, filling in poems, and practicing internal strength.

"Miss Lan—Miss Lan—" A burst of calls came, and Mulan was interrupted from her thoughts, so she opened her eyes and looked at the comer.

"Nurse, please be seated." Hurriedly let people into the house.

Since coming to ancient times, the closest person is this Aunt Rong, I saw Aunt Rong patting Mulan's hand and saying: "It's really fast, when I first saw you, I was still a little girl, crying all day long, in a blink of an eye, the little little girl in my arms has become an adult, and has become a slim and generous lady, watching you grow up day by day, and winning the poem, Aunt Rong doesn't know how happy." ”

This Aunt Rong, who was originally the palace of Gong E, had waited for the mother, because of the age, she was released to marry and live, and then because Mrs. Hua gave birth to two daughters in a row, the flower family was overjoyed, and the young lady like the powder ball was rare, so she invited Rong Mo to teach and take care of it. There is such a nurse who has seen the world, no wonder Hua Muxiang can dance that gonghou sound, and the audience is amazing.

Mulan gently lay on Aunt Rong's neck and said, "Aunt Rong, Mulan wants to hug you." Somehow she burst into tears, the nurse realized, patted Mulan and said: "Child, it's really hard for you, how good it would be if you remembered the past, hey-by the way, today is the grand event of your ceremony, Aunt Rong almost forgot about this important event when she saw you, come on, let Aunt Rong check the outfits and accessories...... After today, my Mulan will be an adult. ”

Then, Mulan came to the main hall with the nurse, since the crossing came, several months, only today to see the appearance of the main hall, a jubilant scene, more spacious and bright than imagined, there is a horizontal plaque, there is a couplet under the plaque of "modesty and forbearance" in the book, a group of harmonious and clear affairs, two sleeves of the breeze and the sun and the moon.

"Lan'er—come to my mother." "Yes—" Mulan gave a slight salute and followed her mother into the next room.

Seeing that Aunt Rong was directing in the front hall, there was no chaos at all, and there were two Taishi chairs on the side of the gable at the opposite side in the house, and there was a table of eight immortals in the middle, with melon seeds and fruits on the case, and a furnace of incense in the middle, the air was curling, and after a while, the house was quiet.

"Mother, what kind of incense is this?"

"My son, isn't this your favorite 'bamboo glass incense' have you forgotten? Your dad deliberately lit it to show the guests how cute and delightful my Lan'er is. Mrs. Hua paused, and then said, "After a while, you just need to follow Aunt Rong's arrangement, son, don't lose your proportion." ”

Words like this are said in a word, Mulan has not been loved by her mother since she was a child, although she has a master, she is not a mother after all, she spread her arms and hugged her, "Mother, let me hold it for a while." Mrs. Hua didn't say anything, patted Mulan lightly, and her eyes drifted to the main hall.

Everything is ready outside the hall, Mulan raised her eyes, there are three mats on the east and west sides of the hall, three on the east side and three on the west side, there are three small ones in front, there are four small dishes on it, it should be the main seat of the guests, the secretary, the praiser, etc., and there is a mat in the middle of the hall, which should be my seat.

"Ma'am, it's time to go out and greet you." 、

"Yes, sir." Mrs. Hua went out quietly, and after a while, the room was full of people, and the wives of all families were invited, and the atmosphere was lively for a while, and there was no sense of disobedience to laughter, and everyone was looking forward to seeing the daughter of the flower family, Mulan.

A flute sounded, the surroundings gradually quieted, and then a piece of piano sound came out in harmony, Mulan patrolled, it turned out that in the west chamber of the ear room, actually arranged the accompaniment of the pianist, the music was crisp and elegant, listen carefully, there is some meaning of the moonlit night in the spring river, and it seems to be aura to nourish the body-

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the gift of the little girl Mulan and Lu, everyone comes to the humble house, full of brilliance, overjoyed, this is the daughter of sixteen years of cherished red, with respect for heaven and earth, thank you for giving my daughter, so that I cry-" said earnestly, only to hear Aunt Rong shout: "Please miss." Mulan slowly walked out of the ear room, came to the main hall, faced the room full of guests, arrived at a thousand blessings, walked to the middle mat and sat upright, and was about to bow -

"Old duck, Mrs. Hu Shilang has arrived-"

"Oh?" Who doesn't know that Madame Squire is the eldest princess of the day? Master Hua was very surprised, and hurriedly greeted him, but he knew that Mrs. Hu had already arrived in the main hall, and said loudly: "I'm late, and I specially participated in Miss Hua's ceremony today." "Anyway, the maid unfolded the red cloth covered on the gift, everyone followed the eyes, the lotus pink light clothes were like clouds, and everyone was secretly envious, a pink peach blossom hairpin was shining, the pink crystal was extraordinarily moist and translucent, the three peach blossoms were delicate, the stamen was a lotus crystal bead, plus five tassel pendants, and it increased, the crystal beauty and elegance of the hosta. Then I saw that the shoes and jade combs were all available, and they were all ready.

Showing these is undoubtedly to explain to you, today is to be a guest, Master Hua looked at Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Wen made a gesture of invitation, and they understood each other, and Aunt Rong read aloud:

"Joyful, delicate, spend 2,000 gold, happy and happy, look forward to God's help, extravagant, talented, benefit this woman, please guests, blessings and ......"

I saw Mrs. Hu stepped forward dignifiedly, Mulan gave a salute, she nodded slightly, and said:

"On the auspicious day of the month, the first plus yuan service, abandon the 4 Er Youzhi, Shun Er Chengde, Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu."

Then Yousi offered a tray, a glass of wine, a plate of rice, a pair of chopsticks, Mulan slowly poured out her hands to respect the heavens and the earth, then served the rice, picked up the chopsticks, and after taking a bite, she bowed down to her parents and thanked her for the grace of nurturing.

When Mrs. Hu saw that the ceremony had been completed, she said aloud:

"The auspicious moon and the auspicious month, and the Shen Erfu, the respect for the prestige, the Shushen Erde, and the longevity of the eyebrows, are all blessed by the Hong."

After that, Aunt Rong had already helped Mulan into the ear room, changed into the clothes brought by Mrs. Hu, came out from the inside out, and returned to the mat to sit upright.

Mrs. Hu took the jade comb, and there were words in her mouth every year:

A comb is reasonable, but I hope that people have an idea

The second comb combs through filial piety, and I hope that loyal and filial parents will last for a long time

Three combs and sparse notices, but I hope that only talent and virtue are affectionate

After a while, the adult woman's hair bun was curled, and two pink crystal flowers were gently pinned, and the step was inserted, and everyone was stunned for a while, but fortunately, the flute sounded for a while, and everyone applauded.

Mulan got up and said a blessing to Zhengbin, Aunt Rong had already led her to the small kitchen, about a tea time, a few little maids came out of the tray, and then looked carefully at the table is a fish, a vegetarian, a soup with a pot of sake.

Mulan bowed to her parents three times again, and respectfully invited the three (guests, priests, and spectators) to enjoy, which can really be described as:

The beautiful scenery is all in the city, and the three dishes are delicious

If you talk about today's ceremony, Mulan's daughter is clear

The princesses of the high hall congratulated each other, and the noble ladies came to the door to marry each other,

If you talk about the princess, please witness the aftermath.
