Chapter 87 (2)
After solving the matter of QMG and Ji Xinghe, Shen Qingmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
During this time, she has been on a continuous axis, in addition to her studies, as well as her coming-of-age ceremony.
In previous years, Shen Qingmeng's birthday was celebrated with the winter solstice solar term, and the four old people on both sides were lively enough to eat dumplings and celebrate their birthdays.
But this year is different, this year is Shen Qingmeng's eighteenth birthday. A few months ago, Old Man Qin was preparing for her coming-of-age ceremony.
In November, Shen Qingmeng's homework burden was a lot heavier. Although she doesn't need to prepare anything for the coming-of-age ceremony, some key things, such as the process of trying on dresses, always need her to appear.
Ji Xinghe had such a thing on his side again, and Shen Qingmeng looked at both sides, a little headache.
The coming-of-age ceremony on the 29th, the process was designed by Professor Zhang, and it was not complicated. Not only Shen Qingmeng, but Qi Min, as a praiser, was tossed enough.
A few people made an appointment to celebrate again on New Year's Day, in the manner of their youth.
Led Fu Mingxu to the club, and when he went out, Shen Qingmeng had to go straight to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow's ceremony.
The hotel was originally owned by the Qin family, and is now merged into the Zhou family. Old Man Qin directly chartered the entire hotel, and all the auditoriums were vacated for standby.
Shen Qingmeng needs to hold a ceremony according to the ancient rites first, and then a wine banquet, combining ancient and modern.
The layout of the auditorium is very Chinese, with Professor Zhang as the guest of honor, Yousi as her student, and Qi Min as the praiser, each performing their duties.
However, the main lord of the ceremony does not see anyone all day long, and the itinerary of the praiser is quite full, and these two people are busier than the main guests.
On the twenty-eighth, Professor Zhang gave an ultimatum that if she didn't show up, she would ask Lao Shen to catch her back, and Shen Qingmeng arrived in a hurry.
After saying a lot of the process, Shen Qingmeng basically had a blank face for half the way, and the angry old Professor Zhang yelled at Lao Shen to beat her. Youji hurriedly smiled and played a round game, letting Shen Qingmeng look at his eyes and act.
On the 29th, Shen Qingmeng was dug up from the bed early, took a shower, and sat aside to wait for the makeup artist to apply makeup simply.
While drowsy, he was smeared on his face and then changed his clothes.
Originally, she was going to comb a double bun, but Shen Qingmeng was already eighteen years old, and this kind of cute and cute hairstyle for children looked very middle on her head, so she could only give up and let her wear her hair loose.
For convenience, Shen Qingmeng's family opened a room in the hotel, and when she finished cleaning up and went to wait in the lounge of the auditorium, Old Shen and Ms. Qin went downstairs to greet the guests.
Liang Han went to pick up Professor Zhang to the hotel, and after Lao Shen and Ms. Qin welcomed her in, the guests gradually sat down.
The guests of the ceremony were all familiar relatives and friends, and then at the banquet, some unfamiliar partners and some friends were invited.
Lao Shen is a professor and scholar on his side, and Ms. Qin is a world friend.
After Gu Hanqing and several people entered, they complained in the group.
"I'm feeling so panicked, it's like you're the only one taking the final exam, but there are seven or eight teachers invigilating it."
"There are so many big professors, I have only seen them in books and papers, and I am trembling."
Shen Qingmeng invited three roommates and Yang Li, Zhu Wei, Meng Luan, plus Zhou Mao and Meng Cen, and Ji Xinghe. Except for the three mixed entertainment circles and e-sports circles, the rest of the students are in awe of the professors in the room.
Silly music in front of the mobile phone, Professor Shen sneaked in and gave her a small slap on the back of the head: "If you don't pay attention at this time, your grandmother will beat you in a while." ”
Shen Qingmeng covered the back of his head and pretended to mourn and cry out in pain: "Grandpa! Obviously, you beat me, and you still have to rely on grandma, and I want to sue you. ”
Old Man Shen touched the top of her hair again, and said with some emotion: "My Dandans have also grown up." ”
A sentence of emotion made Shen Qingmeng's heart a little sour for no reason.
hugged Old Man Shen's waist for a while, and then heard Old Shen's speech.
The opening speech was very official and formal, thank you all for coming to my daughter Shen Qingmeng's ceremony.
After the official speech, Lao Shen added drama to himself under the gaze of Professor Zhang.
"When I was young, I was studying abroad, and at that time, the country was getting rid of the feudal dross and these cumbersome ceremonies. So this is the first time I've seen this kind of coming-of-age ceremony. Here, thank you very much to my mother for doing so much for this and the ceremony. ”
Old Shen and Ms. Qin stood up together and bowed to Old Professor Zhang.
Shen Qingmeng looked over from the lounge, and the old lady's eyes were a little red.
Lao Shen added this paragraph, and then Shen Qingmeng appeared.
First, Qi Min walked out and stood aside after washing his hands. Then Shen Qingmeng also walked out, bowed to the guests, and then knelt on the mat, and Qi Min combed her hair.
Shen Qingmeng wore her hair loose, and she combed it symbolically a few times, no more. But she doesn't need to do more, and the old lady will take care of the rest.
Accompanied by Lao Shen and Ms. Qin, Professor Zhang washed his hands and walked to Shen Qingmeng, standing aside with a tray.
The old lady's eyes were moist, she looked at Shen Qingmeng, and chanted a greeting loudly.
"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. ”
It's not a difficult ancient text, Shen Qingmeng understood it, and also saw the ardent expectation in the old lady's eyes.
Pick up the hairpin from the tray and kneel behind her and comb her hair.
The old lady's hands were very steady and gentle, like a summer morning when she was a child, and the old lady combed her hair and washed her face while reading to her.
Time overlapped, that little Shen Qingmeng picked up a handful of water in the enamel basin of her grandmother's house, the water droplets fell back into the basin, splashed on the red basin stand, and she was in the crisp laughter, and in a blink of an eye she became a girl-like Shen Qingmeng.
The old lady combed her hair and got up to get back to her place. Qi Min gave her a false help on her hair, which was considered a righteous flute. Then he took the clothes from Yuji and went to the locker room with her to change clothes.
It was not troublesome to wear plain clothes and skirts, Shen Qingmeng and Qi Min practiced many times, changed their clothes familiarly, and went out to salute.
In this way, he bowed three times and added three times, and took wine and rice, and arrived at the part of the training.
In the ancient ceremony, Shen Qingmeng knelt down and listened to his parents' teachings, and the old lady changed it to bow down and listen to the training.
It was still Lao Shen who spoke first.
"Mengmeng, your mother and I often teach you to do what you want to do, take responsibility for your own actions, you have always done well, I hope you can always do well in the future."
Concise and to the point, it is obvious that Lao Shen's personal style.
Ms. Qin also spoke: "Mengmeng, your father and I hope that you can live as you like and live happily." ”
Shen Qingmeng said goodbye.
Then bow to all the participants, and at this point, it is considered a ceremony.
