0029 Etiquette

When Cen Mu was still struggling in the wilderness, in a luxury villa in a large city, it was a different scene.

Ling Ding straightened Lijin's bow tie, took a few steps back, looked up and down, and nodded: "Hmm~ When you wear it like this, it looks much better." ”

Sitting in front of the mirror, Jin is wearing a tailor-made black suit, a pale pink dress shirt will not set off the golden dark skin too much, smearing hairspray, repairing eyebrows, puffing some powder, and then stepping on a pair of shiny leather shoes, standing in front of the mirror, it is simply a wealthy young master!

Looking at himself in the mirror, Jin didn't believe his eyes, and couldn't help but show a trace of nervousness and discomfort.

Jin still seems to be floating in a dream, and the changes in the past two days feel so unreal, he can't imagine how the "steel dragon" shuttling in mid-air can be suspended in the air, he can't understand how the heavy flying car soars freely like a bird, and he has never seen a skyscraper rising from the ground to cover the sky, let alone experienced such a luxurious and spectacular night banquet of a wealthy family, too many new things hit his head at one time, making this boy who is less than ten years old completely overwhelmed, as if sleepwalking.

A person, for an environment that exceeds his usual standard of living, will involuntarily maintain an inexplicable awe, and thus behave abnormally, especially when this environment once exceeds the most luxurious in his dreams.

Ling Ding leaned down, held Jin's shoulder, and said, "Jin? You okay? Don't look stupid, I'm going to see grandpa and a bunch of guests later! Also, you haven't forgotten what I told you, have you?! Grandpa asked you, do you want to do what I taught you, you won't disgrace Brother Cen, right? You're representing him this time! ”

Cen Mu's name finally woke up the young man a little, aroused the arrogance in his heart, his eyes lit up, and he regained some agility, Jin nodded and said, "Well, I remember it." ”

Ling Ding said with satisfaction: "Very good, that's the expression!" Don't pay too much attention to these things you see, those are all false, as long as you have the corresponding strength, sooner or later you will have them! ”

It is true that as long as there is strength, the material will be possessed, Jin followed Cen Mu to experience the battle between the overlord of the eastern area and the waterway area, and also saw the resources that the overlord of a wilderness force can have, although the butcher's mansion is not so luxurious, but it has made Jin see the way to obtain materials through ability, so thinking about it, this extravagant material is not so "terrifying"!

Untie the knot of fear, Jin is a lot more comfortable, he understands a little, the attitude towards the surrounding environment should be like this, the more you care, the easier it is to lose, just keep your heart, these few months with Cen Mu mixed up, Jin's experience has far surpassed that of wilderness boys of the same age, and he is much more accepting of new things.

With the crisp sound of the wall clock, Ling Ding stood up and said, "Okay, the banquet has begun, come with me!" ”

Tonight, Ling Ding wore a light green evening dress, and then draped in a layer of silk shoulders, the advantages of enlarged breasts and long legs were vividly reflected, and her delicate face slightly emitted a little light at this moment.

Jin raised his hand to put his arm around Ling Ding's arm, the top of his head was as high as Ling Ding's waist, he quietly puffed up his chest, holding his breath, waiting for the moment to appear.

At this time, the door of the side hall opened silently, the main hall next door was silent in an instant, the band tacitly stopped playing, and a light hit the door of the side hall, everything was waiting for a protagonist......

Jin secretly clenched his fists and made a nameless oath in his heart.

When Ling Ding appeared in the light with gold, at this moment, the music was surging, the applause followed, the focus of the lights and eyes converged on one point, and the banquet hall reached ** in an instant.

admiration, appreciation, admiration, amazement, obsession, jealousy......

I don't know how many strange thoughts and how many strange emotions are hidden under the smiling expressions.

Many people come to appreciate this girl who is about to enter adulthood with a purpose, aside from her hidden value, this pure and refined beauty alone makes many beauty collectors speculate, itching, of course, can only be obscene, her identity is here, not casually can be collected, "Ling Laohu" is a person who dares to even brush the face of the prince!

Tonight is Ling Ding's coming-of-age ceremony, and the guests present are wealthy families from the imperial capital, and giants from the military, not to mention representatives of families from all walks of life in the Federation, most of them are young people, and some lower-level families need the patriarch to attend.

As an indispensable value figure of the new generation of the Ling family, Ling Ding deserves such pomp, and the major families are expressing their expectations and admiration for Ling Ding in their own ways, especially the lower-level families, if their children can be lucky enough to win the heart, attach to her pomegranate skirt, and thus climb the stout tree of the Ling family, it will be a major event for the whole family to celebrate!

The coming-of-age ceremony, that is, the "Lu ceremony", the Chinese people have their own set of etiquette processes.

In the new era, there have been some changes in the ceremony, the date has become more casual, any birthday from fifteen to eighteen years old, or some other important commemorative days, the "Zhu Zhi" has many relatives of Ling Ding, the sister-in-law is "Yousi", and a cousin of Ling Ding is the "praiser", and the clothing system still follows the tradition of the old era.

The color of the clothes is pure, symbolizing the innocence of the girl; The first skirt is light and elegant, symbolizing the innocence of the cardamom girl; The added deep clothes are elegant and dignified, symbolizing the brightness of the flower girl; Sanjia's large-sleeved dress highlights the graceful atmosphere of Chinese women, elegant and beautiful.

A set of etiquette processes is sacred and complicated, no less than seventeen steps, with profound meanings, and the biggest meaning is that this girl has really grown up, she will be exposed to the major families, unless she has made up her mind, otherwise, the Ling family must not refuse the family's relatives for other reasons, nor can she refuse her suitors for no reason.

In fact, it is not appropriate to invite too many guests, however, the Ling family can't stand the enthusiasm of other families, old friends, old comrades-in-arms, old classmates, side relatives, royal family, etc., those who hear the news, uninvited, must be invited, embarrassed not to invite, there are more and more guests, and before you know it, it has become a big banquet.

In order not to destroy the sacredness of the ceremony, the ceremony was arranged after the banquet and held in the ancestral hall of the Ling family, and only representatives of the royal family and a very small number of families were invited as guests of honor to observe the ceremony.

At this moment, there were several plainly dressed old men sitting at the main table, and one of them was an old man with soft eyes looking at Ling Ding, and his eyes did not let go for a moment.

The old man sitting next to him said: "I said Lao Ling, is this your granddaughter or someone else's granddaughter, how do you feel like you've never seen it?!" ”

Ling Lao waved his hand and sighed: "You don't know, the moment Fang Xiaoding came out, I was all stupefied, back then, your sister Yining was like this, exactly the same, I was stunned, hey......"

This exclamation can only be heard by his old friends who are full of emotions here, Ling Lao's main room Yining left early, gave birth to a son for Ling Hua, and soon after, Xiang Xiaoyu died, but he couldn't see his son start a family, let alone see his grandchildren, after more than 20 years, Ling Hua has not married a wife, and only reluctantly continued in middle age, accepted a concubine, and now, has become his wife, and she is Ling Tian's mother.

Another old man bowed his head and said, "That's not it, Lao Ling, since Xiao Ding is also an adult, can the affairs of our two families be put on the agenda?" ”

Suddenly, the old man next to him was anxious and said: "Old Dong, everything is particular about coming first and then coming, I will mention this matter first, you stay behind and go cool!" ”

Dong Lao smiled: "Hehe! You have to pay attention to the matter of pleasing a wife, so wait for someone to snatch it away! Besides, Lao Hao, when you married your younger brother and sister, you didn't do that, you kid has a black heart! Say one thing, do another, compete fairly on the surface, and work hard behind the scenes. ”

Hao Lao saw that he was drawn to hatred, and quickly waved his hand and said, "De~ Today's protagonist is not me, don't talk about those past things!" ”

"Lao Ling, my little grandson is not bad! I'm not old, my ability is not low, my official position is not low, my appearance is not bad, I don't engage in specialization, I compete fairly with Lao Hao, okay? ”

Ling Lao said: "This is better left to the children to choose!" My old Ling family, Xiao Ding was the most unfortunate when she was young, and she owes this child a lot, but she has a marriage, I don't interfere, and the other heirs, you are the second elder at will. ”

Everyone here looked at each other and smiled, not to mention appearance and talent, just political value, other children are not so attractive, Ling Ding is the daughter of Ling Nantian, the old sister-in-law, and this sister-in-law is generally considered to be the successor of Lao Ling, and Ling Zhan, as the eldest grandson, Ling Ding's elder brother, has also become the leader of the new generation of the Ling family, the inheritance of these three generations is extremely smooth, of course, there is no conspiracy and instability of other families to usurp power and seize the throne, so look at it, the Ling family will inevitably be the world of the father and brother in the future, I privately heard that this father and brother doted on Ling Ding, this Ling Ding is also a well-behaved baby, there is no one in the family who doesn't like her, it is no exaggeration to say that Ling Ding is a collection of thousands of favors.

"Grandpa~" Ling Ding walked to the table, Luo Quan, and said, "Hello grandfathers, uncles, and uncles~"

A chubby middle-aged man smiled and said, "Ding, you greet everyone, just put your grandfather in front, why do you put your uncle behind your uncle?" Uncle was slighted and very unhappy. ”

Ling Ding stuck out her tongue at him and ignored him.

Everyone smiled, and when they saw the young man beside Ling Ding, someone asked curiously, "Who is this?" ”

Others were intrigued.

Ling Lao explained, "This is Ding's life-saving benefactor in the wilderness, so he brought him back. ”

I heard that it was a wilderness person, and everyone had different expressions.

Someone asked: "Look at this baby's age, can you save Tinker?!" What special abilities do you have? ”

In these years, bringing a wilderness man into the city is nothing new, but it is a bit unusual to let the Ling family bring this level of banquet and serve it to the main table, unless this kid is a genius, and he is a "peerless genius"!

Ling Ding glanced at Jin and said with a smile: "He's lucky!" I was bitten by a snake, and he and my brother escorted me back to town, and it was as simple as that, I saw that he was so well-behaved, and it just so happened that I didn't have a brother, so I brought him back! Jin just nodded shyly, supporting Ling Ding's words.

This explanation is reasonable, but everyone here is mixed with human essence, and there are some reservations about the acceptance of this explanation, maybe this kid really has extraordinary strength?! Otherwise, how could Ling Ding be so maintained! You must know that showing his face at a banquet of this level announced that Jin has officially entered the eyes of the major families, Mu talked about his past background, from now on he is no longer so-and-so, no longer a passerby, his name King is afraid that more and more families will be known, and some anxious little families are probably already thinking, whether to start investing in this kid, in order to return in the future.

It's just that they can't think of it even if they want to break their brains, Ling Ding spares no effort to bring Jin and accepts him into the Ling family with all his heart, just because he is Cen Mu's younger brother, and he stammers with the little uncle and pulls Cen Mu over to the Ling family a little more.
