Chapter 42
Eight years have passed in a flash.
The four countries of the world began to quarrel with each other, and the border armies were all ready to move.
A big war seems to be ready to break out at any moment.
*
Jinling City, spring in March, the third daughter's day of the new year.
Today's Fengqi Pavilion is particularly lively, but it is not dignified at all.
In the past eight years, a group of sisters scattered all over the world have rushed back to Jinling City.
Because today, for Fengqi Pavilion, it is a particularly important day. That's their young lord's coming-of-age ceremony. No matter where they are, they must come back to witness this momentous occasion.
Li Wanwan, who is exactly sixteen years old this year, has passed her era of girlish innocence.
In the main hall of Fengqi Pavilion, the decoration is very luxurious, and it looks very solemn. On the high desk, there are two spirit tablets in the center, the sandalwood in the incense burner in front of it, and the candles on the candlestick next to it.

"Young master."
"After today, you will be a real adult."
Beside Wanwan, Cherry looked at Wanwan who was like jade skin in front of her and spoke.
"yes, yes."
"Before you know it, time flies."
Hearing this, Wan Wan let out a sigh of emotion. Eight years seem to have passed quietly in the blink of an eye. The past is like a picture unfolding in front of her eyes.
"Young master, do you want to soak for a while?"
Looking at the grace of soaking in the barrel, a little comfortable, Cherry asked.
"No, we can't afford to delay the hour."
As she spoke, Wanwan got up and walked out of the barrel, and she also picked up the clothes and shoes on the hanger next to her.
"Yes, young master."
"You're so beautiful."
Looking at the graceful appearance at this time, Cherry said to her. In the whole world, I am afraid that she is the only one who has seen Wanwan's appearance at this time.
"Just your poor mouth."
Wanwan gently stretched out her fingers, tapped her forehead, and said with a slight smile.
After a few moments, her clothes were neatly dressed, and Wanwan led Cherry out of the bathroom and towards the east room next to the main hall where the bar mitzvah was held.
The coming-of-age ceremony has a fixed process, and she needs to wait a little in advance.
*
In the main hall, Wu Ma and a group of women have already competed to sit down. Mother Wu sat at the top of the seat, and down in turn were peonies, lotus hearts, iris, peonies, roses, and hibiscus. After that, there are the other sisters.
Mother Wu slowly stood up and looked at the group of warblers and warblers in the main hall, her somewhat old face was full of relief. In eight years, Fengqi Pavilion not only did not fall lonely, but branched all over the world. The number of sisters in Fengqi Pavilion is also increasing, and now there are many fresh faces in the lobby.
The lord is in the spirit of the sky, and he can finally rest assured.
"Today, the young master Li Wanwan held an adult ceremony."
"When the master dies early, the old man will be in charge and preside over the lord on his behalf."
"Now, it's officially begin."
"Please young master."
Wu's mother suddenly shouted, and all the sisters raised their eyes to look at the door. At this time, their faces were full of anticipation and excitement.
Cherry walked out first, and after cleaning her hands, she stood on the west steps and waited quietly. After that, Wanwan walked out of the east room and came to the main hall. She first squatted down and bowed to the aunts. Then she knelt on the mat with her face facing west. Eventually, Cherry walked over and began to comb her hair seriously.
"On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian dollar is served."
"Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous."
"Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu."
Wanwan turned to the east to sit down, and Wu's mother stepped forward, helped Wanwan comb her hair and add to her, and when she was done, she returned to her original position.
Wanwan got up slowly, and in the main hall, all the sisters squatted down to bless her.
After the salute, Wanwan returned to the east room, changed into a plain dress that matched the hairpin on her head, and returned to the main hall again.
Wan Wanlian stepped forward, came to her parents' spirit tablet, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully three times.
"Father, mother."
"Did you see that?"
"Wanwan has grown up, really grown up."
Tears were already in her eyes.
On this day, how much she wished that her father and mother could see it with her own eyes!
But......
"Ji Yue Lingchen, Nashen Erfu."
"Respectfully, Lady Virtue."
"Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and you will always be blessed by Hu."
Cherry stepped forward and gently removed the hairpin from Wanwan's head. Mother Wu stepped forward again, put a hairpin on Wanwan's head, and then returned to her original position. Wanwan returned to the east room and changed into a curly robe that matched the hairpin on her head. Again, back to the main hall.
Wanwan moved to the middle, squatted down gently, and bowed seriously. This second bow is to thank Mother Wu and a group of aunts for raising her.
"With the right of the year, with the order of the month, the salty gar is served."
Cherry removed the hairpin from Wanwan's head again, and Wu's mother stepped forward again and put a hairpin crown on Wanwan's head. After that, Wanwan returned to the east room and changed into a long-sleeved dress that matched the hairpin crown on her head.
Mother Wu stepped forward solemnly, holding a delicate tray in her hand with a glittering token on it.
It is carved with the phoenix logo of Fengqi Pavilion, and there are two sharp swords that cross each other, and the three large characters of Lishu are a little eye-catching.
"Cabinet Lord's Order."
Wanwan reached out and slowly picked up the token in the tray, then held it high.
"I've seen the Pavilion Master."
A group of sisters, kneeling down in unison, after today, there is no young master in Fengqi Pavilion, only the pavilion master.
"Gan Li is only thick, and I recommend Ling Fang."
"Worship and accept sacrifices, in order to determine the auspiciousness."
"The rest of the heavens, the longevity test will not be forgotten."
Mother Wu held the liquor in her hand, came to Wanwan's side and handed it to her, and Wanwan reached out to take it. She fell to her knees and sprinkled some of the wine on the ground little by little. After that, he took a sip of the liquor in his hand.
Putting down the liquor in her hand, Wanwan came to her father and mother's spirit card and knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times again.
"Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not admit it!"
Although her father and mother could no longer speak to her, she still knew in her heart what her parents would say to her at this moment.
Seeing this scene, Wu's mother didn't come forward to disturb, just stood aside and waited quietly, at this time, let Wanwan and her parents talk more.
In the main hall, it seemed very quiet, no one whispered, and everyone was silent.
It wasn't until a long time later that Wanwan slowly stood up, her eyes sweeping over all the aunts sitting in the main hall.
"Today, Wanwan has finally grown up."
"Thank you Grandma Wu and all the aunts for their ten years of nurturing grace to Wanwan."
"Wanwan can't be repaid."
She squatted down slightly, bowed to them, and said from the bottom of her heart.
Tears in the corners of his eyes fell little by little.
"Pavilion Master."
Looking at the perfect woman in the world in front of them, the sisters were also a little emotional. When she was six years old, Wanwan came to Fengqi Pavilion, and now it has been ten years, and they have watched her grow from a child to adulthood bit by bit.
At this moment, their faces are also crying one after another, but what is falling are tears of happiness and relief.
"Pavilion Master."
Peony and Iris stepped forward together, came to Wanwan and said.
"Peony Yinuo, return the handsome order."
I saw that a golden phoenix handsome seal appeared in her hand, held high in front of Wanwan.
"The Fengling Women's Army has now become an army."
"The Lord will have one, and the centurion will be nine."
"Fengling Women's Army, a total of nine hundred and ten people."
"Fengling's ambition is to die and not to live."
Peony raised the handsome seal in his hand and suddenly shouted.
"Fengling's ambition is to die and not to live."
In the main hall, Iris beside her fell to one knee, as did nine other women.
They all followed the peony and shouted, and the thick murderous aura instantly diffused, as if they were about to lift the roof of the main hall.
The Fengling Women's Army finally showed their fangs today.
Wanwan nodded lightly and took the Fengling Female Army Marshal Seal in Peony's hand.
"Cabinet Lord's Order."
"Feng Ling Shuai Yin."
This is a gift for adults that belongs to Wanwan.
From today......
Began to officially compete in the world.
