Chapter 480: The Gift of Wonderful Words (Part II)
The rest of the guests who came to watch the ceremony were seated at the viewing table.
In the center of the venue, there is a small table with a meal and a glass of wine on it. Next to the small table is an empty mat.
Smoke rises from the delicate incense burner in the corner, and on the east side are two other mats, on which are neatly placed three new women's dresses. On the north side of the dress is a bowl with lukewarm water and a fresh towel.
Several female musicians with the best zhengqin skills in Chu sat in the corner, playing elegant pieces such as "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water" slowly and methodically.
There was silence in the hall.
Xiahou Bangwan sat beside Shen Feng, his face full of envy and jealousy.
When she arrived, the ceremony was not so grand!
In the silence, Jun Tianlan got up, and his voice was indifferent and a little solemn: "Today, the righteous sister of this seat performed an adult ceremony, thank you for coming to watch the ceremony." ”
Chu Yun held the teacup, half-lowered his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his elegant handsome face, which made it impossible to see through his thoughts.
Jun Tianlan looked at the door of the hall and paused for a long time before lowering his voice: "Miaomiao, enter to meet all the guests." ”
Everyone looked towards the gate, and saw four maids hugging a little girl dressed in a snow-white scarlet-rimmed virgin dress, slowly stepping into the threshold.
The little girl wore neat buns, and her white and tender face still looked childish.
She stood still in the center of the scene, and Wen Ge Lao, who was watching the ceremony, bowed slightly to his wife beside her, and the old lady stood up, accompanied by Jun Tianlan, walked to the east step, and washed her hands in the cup.
A guest of honour is required for the ceremony, which is generally served by a female elder with outstanding moral integrity.
Everyone was stunned, and the national teacher actually invited Mrs. Ge to serve as the guest of honor......
In the solemn music, the clothes were reminded in a small voice: "Miss, turn to the east direction." ”
Shen Miaoyan hurriedly did so, Hua Rongzhan as a division, smiled and came over to offer Luo Pa and the hair flute, the old lady walked up to Shen Miaoyan, and chanted loudly: "The auspicious day of the moon, the first plus yuan." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. ”
Shen Miaoyan didn't quite understand what she was saying, she gently pushed her back with her clothes, and she quickly knelt down on the mat upright.
Old Madam Ge untied Shen Miaoyan's bun, took the hairpipe from the tray held by Hua Rongzhan in her hand, and re-tied her hair.
After combing her hair, the old lady returned to her seat, Xie Tao was the praiser of today's ceremony, she cautiously approached Shen Miaoyan, and symbolically helped her straighten her upright.
Hua Rongzhan brought a set of plain clothes and skirts, Xie Tao took it, and went to the east room with Shen Miaoyan.
The two entered the east room, Xie Tao closed the door, and Shen Miaoyan sat on the big chair, "What a courtesy, it's really boring!" I'm starving! ”
As he spoke, he took the food from the snack plate on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xie Tao unfolded the skirt, "Don't eat it, those people are still waiting for you!" Let's change your clothes! ”
Shen Miaoyan swallowed the snack in two bites and put the plain white skirt on her body.
This skirt is pure in color, without any ornamentation, and only a muslin belt is tied around the waist, which is very simple.
She and Xie Tao returned to the hall with their faces strained, knelt on the mat facing Dongzhengfang, and the old lady washed her hands again, took the hairpin handed by Hua Rongzhan, and chanted: "Jiyue Lingchen, Nashen Erfu." Respect for the majesty, the grace of the soot. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. ”
After reading the greetings, she took off the hairpin from Shen Miaoyan's bun and put on the brand-new hairpin for her.
Xie Tao straightened her hairpin again, and took a set of curved deep clothes that matched the hairpin from Hua Rongzhan's hand, and after bowing to the guests, he went to the east room.
Shen Miaoyan put on a curved deep coat, this dress is pale gold, and the dark patterns of camellia flowers are picked out with dark gold silk threads, which is very dignified and luxurious.
Xie Tao helped her tie the palm-wide gold silk belt, and said with a smile: "Such a luxurious color, only Miaomiao can line it." ”
Shen Miaoyan lowered his head and touched this set of curved deep clothes, such valuable clothes and special decorations must have been specially ordered by the fourth brother.
Her heart was warm, she held Xie Tao's hand, and said with a smile: "Ah Tao, wait for you, I will also be your praiser!" ”
and the praisers of the ceremony, which are generally the best sisters of the people.
"Okay!" Xie Tao's eyebrows were crooked.
The two returned to the hall together, and Shen Miaoyan bowed to the guests in a serious manner to show respect.
She knelt down on the mat, and the old lady washed her hands for the third time, and walked behind her to stand still.
Hua Rongzhan brought a set of dark gold hairpin crowns made of pure gold this time, the workmanship is very delicate and exquisite, and the hairpin head is carved into a small camellia.
Jun Tianlan quietly watched as the old lady put on the hairpin crown for Shen Miaoyan, and there was a faint smile in her phoenix eyes.
He knew that the set of hairpin crowns he designed by himself was a perfect match for the little girl.
Chu Yunjian next to him watched silently, if his marriage contract with her was still there, then after the ceremony, she should have become his queen......
Xie Tao symbolically straightened the crown for Shen Miaoyan, took the tray with the big-sleeved dress from Hua Rongzhan's hand, and accompanied her to the east room.
Shen Miaoyan couldn't wait to eat snacks to replenish his strength, Xie Tao unfolded the big-sleeved dress, and both of them were a little dazed.
This large-sleeved dress is very gorgeous and precious, the background color is red, intricate camellia embroidered with gold thread, and the neckline, cuffs and skirt are meticulously trimmed with dark gold thread.
"It's so pretty." Xie Tao praised from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Miaoyan knew that these were Jun Tianlan's intentions, so he put down his snacks and walked over to put on this set of clothes seriously.
Xie Tao helped Shen Miaoyan walk into the hall again, and everyone looked up and couldn't help but widen their eyes.
I saw that the little girl's hands were folded in front of her chest, the wide crimson sleeves hung down to the instep of her feet, and the golden collar and the pure gold hairpin crown on her head reflected each other, which made the girl's skin more and more condensed and beautiful.
The warm red and gold on her body have always been difficult for ordinary women to control.
Maybe an elderly concubine or princess can barely suppress such a big red and gold, but although Shen Miaoyan is young, she seems to be in harmony with this set of clothes, and her temperament is extraordinarily noble, as if she was born to wear such a set of gorgeous clothes.
The surrounding guests were impressed by her momentum, and felt for no reason that they were not facing an ordinary lady, but a princess in the deep palace.
The musicians who played the music were stunned for a moment, and when they came back to their senses, they hurriedly played a more brilliant and dignified instrument again.
Xie Tao presented the liquor, and the old lady took it, and said to Shen Miaoyan: "Ganli 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. ”
Shen Miaoyan took the liquor, knelt on the mat, sprinkled some liquor on the ground as sacrificial wine, and held the liquor in front of him, symbolically dipping it on his lips.
