513 Rites
It was not easy to produce all the medicines, and it was late autumn.
Seeing that Shen Wangxin and Qi Changan's birthdays were coming, Zhou Yanchang and Jia Shi personally came to Jiangzhou City to celebrate their birthdays. This year, Qi Changan doesn't have to make a big deal, the age of the men's crown ceremony is much later than that of the women.
Therefore, this birthday is mainly a ceremony for Shen Wangxin.
At the beginning of autumn, Jia discussed this matter with Shen Wangxin. She knew that Shen Wangxin was busy, so she took the matter of the ceremony on herself. After she and Zhou Yanchang arrived in Jiangzhou City, they lived for many days in a hurry, and originally planned to invite acquaintances to come over for a small event, but they didn't expect that in the end, more and more people were invited. Fortunately, Shen Wangxin and Qi Changan's house was big enough, and they barely settled all the people, and finally ushered in this day.
On the day of the ceremony, Shen Wangxin received some things from the capital. Most of them were sent by the Su family, and it was difficult for them to remember their birthdays, so Shen Wangxin was naturally happy in his heart.
After letting the maids under her hand finish cleaning up, she found that there was a small box in the middle of this thing that was not from the Su family. This box contains a set of chic jade heads, which seem to be of great value, and there is a letter on it, which was actually sent by Qi Wenzao.
She also read the letter, and her salute was written on it, and Qi Wenzao couldn't spare time.
So he specially sent such a gift, even if he did his father's duty.
As soon as Shen Wangxin thought of the faces of the three members of the Qi family, he closed the box in disgust. It just so happened that the convoy that sent the medicine to the capital had not left yet, so she could let people send the things back to the Qi Mansion and return them to their original owners.
The Qi family doesn't want to recognize her as a daughter, so why bother to do this? Think you can buy her with this little thing? Qi Wenzao will do his spring and autumn dreams!
"Take it." When Jia Shi learned of this, he deliberately took the time to come to the courtyard of Shen Wangxin, glanced at the head in the box, and finally nodded with satisfaction, "With the financial resources of the Qi family, it is difficult to take out jewelry of this kind for your biological father." ”
When Shen Wangxin thought of Qi Wenzao, he was angry.
When Qi Wenzao came to Sanhuai Hall, he kept saying that he wanted to recognize her. She admitted that she did have a small expectation in her heart, but what he did later was simply disgusting to her. Since the adopted daughter is more important than the biological daughter, let's raise that adopted daughter for the rest of your life, and now that she has sent something over to behave, don't blame her for being ruthless!
"Mother, I don't want the things he sent." Shen Wangxin glanced at the box in disgust, and felt that it was not containing any jewelry, but a nest of snakes, rats, insects and ants.
Jia Shi said: "This is what their Qi family owes you, you are not allowed to pay it back!" Now Lord Qi is not the original Hubu Shangshu, and now that he is in the Honglu Temple, how much oil and water can he have? You returned this jewelry, but now it's not in Qi Changle's hands? ”
Shen Wangxin was stunned, and then remembered that Qi Changle, like her, was also born with Qi Changan.
Today she has to do a salute, and Qi Changle also has to salute. Why did Qi Changle get the Qi family's things, but she really didn't have anything?
Shen Wangxin persuaded himself and instructed the next person: "You send this box of things to the library." ”
Since it is not pleasing to the eye to see the things sent by Qi Wenzao, then it is better not to put it away, how much is a sum of money, why should I have trouble with the silver money?
As soon as the servants had moved the boxes out, they heard the people outside urging: "Madame, girl, hurry up, the guests outside have arrived!" ”
Seeing that Shen Wangxin listened to her words, Jia Shi responded with a smile, walked up to Shen Wangxin and took her hand, and the two of them went out of the courtyard door together and walked to the main hall in the front yard.
As soon as she arrived in the main hall, Shen Wangxin found that there were many people crowded in the entire hall, leaving only a vacant seat in the middle for her to perform the ceremony.
Dr. Hu, who stayed in Sanhuai Hall in Xitou Village, came, and Lizheng's family also came. Yan Jiaoxi, who had spoken for him from Hanshan Academy, also came, but Lord Liu from the county government failed to come, but sent Master Kong.
When everyone saw Shen Wangxin come out, they all congratulated her with joy.
Shen Wangxin couldn't respond one by one, so he saluted the crowd and knelt on a futon in the center of the hall. The officiant of her ceremony was, of course, Jia's family, and Jia's family chose Aunt Shen for her to add to Shen Wangxin.
Everyone has no opinion on this, although she and Aunt Shen are not related by blood, they are like grandchildren, and no one else can afford to add to Shen Wangxin except her.
It stands to reason that the ritual should be performed in the family temple. But Shen Forgetxin: This is a special case, and it is okay to make an exception.
Shen Wangxin looked at a group of people in the crowd, but still didn't find Jiang Xian's figure. Jiang Xian didn't know where he had gone in the past few days, and it was late at night when he came back occasionally, and he had already greeted him in advance about the matter of Shen Xinlu's courtesy, but by this time, he still hadn't come yet.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
This little look fell into the eyes of Aunt Shen who was standing aside, she was holding a hairpin, ready to be inserted into Shen Wangxin's combed bun. Then, announce to everyone that this little girl is an adult.
