and the ceremony

In a blink of an eye, five years have passed, and Yeqing is already a fifteen-year-old girl.

And today is the day of her marriage, and it is the most important day for women in this era besides getting married.

Although Ye Lanzhi is now the governor of Tuzhou in the third grade, and he is busy with official business, he still puts aside his official duties on the day of his beloved daughter and Lu Da, and stands on the east steps with his wife Qing in the morning to wait for the guests.

Yelanzhi is an honest official, but he doesn't want to wronged his beloved daughter's courtesy, so early in the morning, there is an endless stream of people who come to watch the ceremony.

At night, Qing had already bathed and changed his clothes, and sat in the east room waiting.

- Ancient coming-of-age ceremonies, really, troublesome to death! However, seeing the joy of "my family has a girl who has just grown up" that Ye Lanzhi and Qing's faces couldn't hide, Ye Qing, who was dug up early in the morning, still felt that it didn't matter if he was tired!

In the past few Chinese New Year's Eve, the reputation of the smart and virtuous lady show is very loud, not that she is really assimilated by this era, but the experience of her previous life makes her act like something, and her perseverance is amazing, so why is it difficult to pretend to be a big girl in front of outsiders? Anyway, in front of the Ye couple, she can show her little daughter to her heart's content, and she has even less to cover up in front of her brother Ye Yangqing, who has always doted on her unconditionally, so she just follows her mother Qing to go out to socialize is to play a well-informed lady, and it is a piece of cake for Ye Qing, so she is naturally willing to do it.

Therefore, although he had been waiting for almost an hour, Yeqing still sat there quietly, causing the old lady who was waiting on the side to nod her head in praise.

The auspicious time finally arrived, the guests and hosts took their seats, and the music began.

The cousin, who was not familiar with the night Qing, walked out first as a praiser, washed his hands and took his seat on the west steps.

In the evening, he went out to the middle of the venue, facing south, and bowed to the guests, and then sat on the table facing west.

The praiser combed his hair for the night with a solemn expression, and then placed the comb on the south side of the mat.

At this time, Zhengbin got up, and the room, which was originally a little whispering, was quiet.

β€”β€”It turned out that Zhengbin was actually a strange woman in Tuzhou, Mrs. Liang.

Mrs. Liang's husband was originally the prefect of Licheng, Tuzhou, but three years after marriage, her husband Liang Chenming died of a serious illness, leaving only Mrs. Liang and her two young sons. Liang Chenming was originally an only son, but after his death, Mrs. Liang honored her in-laws with her own strength, raised her young son, and supported the entire Liang family. And the two sons were admitted to the Jinshi together in Ruikang for three years, and it became a good story. After the Liang brothers entered the Jinshi, one entered the Hanlin Academy, and the other was sent to Muzhou, all of which were outstanding in political performance.

Therefore, Mrs. Liang is regarded as an example of women in Tuzhou, and she easily does not go out to meet guests, and Mrs. Liang is the guest of honor in tonight's Qing Dynasty, which is extremely beneficial to the future marriage of the Qing Dynasty.

Although the reason why Mrs. Liang was able to invite Mrs. Liang was born in the same class as the Liang brothers, Yeqing's personality and conduct were also very important. If the good reputation of the Qing Zhili and virtuous people in the previous night was nothing more than sincere praise from everyone, or deliberate flattery for the sake of Yelan, then after today, it is a fact that no one can doubt.

After washing her hands, Mrs. Liang greeted each other with the Ye couple and began to preside over the first addition.

Yeqing turned to the east and sat down, and the priest presented Luo Pa and the hair flute, and Mrs. Liang walked in front of Yeqing, chanting loudly and saying: "The auspicious day of the moon is the beginning of the Jiayuan service." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. Then sit on your knees and comb your hair for the night, and when you're done, return to your place.

The praiser is symbolically correct for the night clear. After getting up and accepting the congratulations of the guests, and then returning to the east room, the praiser took the clothes from Youji's hand and went to the room to change into a plain skirt that matched the top of the head.

After wearing a plain dress and skirt, Yeqing came out again to show the guests, and then bowed formally to the Yeshi couple to thank them for their nurturing grace. The expression on Yelan's face was still faint, but there were already some tears in Qing's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, three plus three bows have passed, and the night is a little impatient, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the joy on his parents' faces, so he had to continue to bow meticulously.

Finally stayed up to Zuihou, knelt on the mat at night, and listened to his parents' teachings.

Qing's voice trembled excitedly: "...... Filial piety, and kindness. Gentle and upright, frugal and humble. No overflow, no arrogance, no deception. The ancient precept is a formula, and it is observed. ”

Bow again at night, and recite her answer word by word: "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not admit it!" ”

- Finally, Licheng, after today, Yeqing is an adult woman in the eyes of the world, and she can marry someone.
