Chapter 154: Etiquette
Bai Yanqing is fifteen this year, and she has reached the year of the ceremony, so this year's birthday, in addition to the ordinary birthday ceremony, has also added the item of the ceremony. And because of her special situation, she can't go back to Baifu, so under Bai Jingxuan's instructions, Bai Yanqing's ceremony this year will be simple.
"Miss, it's almost time, it's time for you to change your clothes."
I don't know when, Mo Ran came over, and she called Bai Yanqing softly, reminding her that the auspicious time was coming.
Bai Yanqing responded, and then followed the ink back to the house.
On the bed in the inner room, there are neat stacks of clothes.
Bai Yanqing stepped forward, slowly sat down in front of the dressing table, and looked at his thin and slightly thin face in the bronze mirror, Bai Yanqing didn't care at all.
Applying a thin layer of fat powder and tapping his lips, a face that was originally lifeless and slightly pale instantly became rosy and shiny!
Outside the gongs and drums were noisy, and in the house, Mo Dye was accompanying Bai Yanqing to make up.
After so many years, Bai Yanqing's eyes are full of memories and familiarity everywhere he looks.
Caixing's hand is very coincidental, in the past, she was also like this, accompanying Bai Yanqing. The two of them, one sitting, one standing, one carefully combing his hair, and the other lazily staring at the bronze mirror in a daze.
Now, although the appearance of the people around me has changed, this craftsmanship ...... But I didn't lose at all!
The ink-dyed bun is very beautiful, and the ink-dyed hands are also very skillful.
Bai Yanqing sighed silently, got up slowly, straightened his clothes, and then walked towards the main hall with ink dyeing. Before Bai Yanqing reached the main hall, he heard Bai Jingxuan's words, coming from inside the house.
"Today's Yan Qing's ceremony, thank you relatives and friends for coming!"
Bai Jingxuan's hearty voice was sonorous and powerful, and Bai Yanqing's heart who listened to it also got a little comfort. Her steps were more steady.
"Miss is here!"
Ink Dye shouted loudly, the sound alarming everyone in the room.
For a while, everyone got up and looked towards the door.
Bai Yanqing came in a curling, dressed in a dress, radiant. A little powdery face, stunning four.
Seeing Bai Yanqing coming, Bai Jingxuan hurriedly stepped up to greet him, he stretched out his hand, took Bai Yanqing's white and slender hand, and walked towards the house.
After Bai Yanqing entered the house, he first saluted everyone in the house one by one, and then stood back beside Bai Jingxuan.
The cumbersome etiquette process made Bai Yanqing, who was already weak, a little overwhelmed.
"Miss, why don't you sit down and rest first?"
Noticing that Bai Yanqing's face seemed to be uncomfortable, Mo Ran asked quietly.
Bai Yanqing forcibly held on to the discomfort and shook her head at Mo Ran. This courtyard is full of people, all of whom are here for their own courtesy, how can she sweep everyone's interest at this time?
Worship your parents and thank them for their kindness. Because of Ji Jinchu's early death, Bai Yanqing only had to kneel down to worship Bai Jingxuan.
At this time, Ariji held the tray high with both hands and offered the ropa and the hairpipe.
Bai Furong slowly stepped forward, took Luo Pa and the hairflute with both hands, and then carefully combed Bai Yanqing's hair. After the ceremony, Bai Yanqing bowed and thanked him.
Second, worship the elders of the clan to show respect and gratitude. Bai Yanqing was dressed in clothes, facing the elders of the Bai family, straightening up, and bowing.
At this time, Ariji once again raised the tray with both hands and offered the hairpin.
Bai Furong also stepped forward again, took the hairpin, and then faded the hairpin for Bai Yanqing. Then, Bai Yanqing knelt down respectfully, and after Bai Furong put on her hairpin again, Bai Yanqing got up after thanking her!
Three visits to the guests, relatives and friends to express their gratitude. The guests are mainly peers, so Bai Yanqing only needs to do the usual courtesy!
At that time, Ariji held the tray high with both hands and presented the hairpin crown for the last time.
Bai Jingxuan took the hairpin crown in the tray and walked to Bai Yanqing. The greeting was chanted aloud: "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. auspicious moon 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. With the right of the year, with the order of the month. Salty garfu, brother Gu in. In order to become a virtue, the abrupt is boundless. Blessed by heaven!"
In other words, this time, it was Yun Qi who stepped forward! He took the hairpin crown in Bai Jingxuan's hand, personally faded Bai Yanqing's hairpin, and added a hairpin crown for Bai Yanqing!
Originally, it was supposed to be the sister or brother in the family who would have added a hairpin crown for Bai Yanqing by herself, but Bai Yanqing was an only daughter, so Yun Qi volunteered to add a hairpin crown for Bai Yanqing in the name of a quasi-husband!
"Lady, today, it's so beautiful!"
Yun Qi looked at Bai Yanqing stupidly, his eyes deep.
The eye waves are flowing, curling and graceful, and the fairy posture is jade. Such a white Yanqing is not at all like the plain and elegant appearance on weekdays!
With everyone on his back, Bai Yanqing secretly glared at Yun Qi. At that glance, in Yun Qi's eyes, he only felt that he was coquettish and cute.
After three bows, Bai Yanqing's body was obviously a little unbearable, and her steps became more and more vain.
Mo Ran stepped forward, hugged Bai Yanqing, and then whispered in Bai Yanqing's ear, "Miss, you are tired, just rest on the slave for a while. This dress is wide, and you are leaning on the slave and maid, and no one else can see it."
Bai Yanqing glanced at the ink dye gratefully, and then leaned slightly, leaning on the ink dye and quietly gasped.
"Serve wine!"
Bai Jingxuan's voice sounded again.
At this moment, Yousi served the liquor, raised his hands above his head, and after Bai Jingxuan took the liquor, he walked to Bai Yanqing.
"Sweet and generous, I recommend Lingfang. Worship and accept sacrifices, in order to determine the auspiciousness. Inherit the rest of the heavens, and never forget the life test."
After the greetings, Bai Yanqing bent down and saluted, and respectfully accepted the liquor with both hands. Then, Bai Yanqing turned around, faced the guests, picked up the wine glass, dipped it lightly to his lips, took a symbolic sip, and then placed the wine glass on the table.
At this time, Youji served rice again, Bai Yanqing took the bowl, opened his mouth again, and took a symbolic bite. Then, Bai Yanqing got up and sat down and dined with everyone.
After the meal, Bai Yanqing thanked the guests, and it was considered a courtesy.
The long and cumbersome ritual exhausted Bai Yanqing's strength. After everyone dispersed, she took off the hairpin crown, took off her gorgeous clothes, and changed into a light dress, accompanied by ink dye.
"Yan Qing!"
At that time, the guests were scattered, but Bai Jingxuan was not in a hurry to leave.
"Father!"
Bai Yanqing stepped forward and saluted Bai Jingxuan respectfully.
"Sit down and rest! You must be tired today!"
Seeing that Bai Yanqing's face was not very good, Bai Jingxuan was a little distressed, so he hurriedly asked Mo Ran to help her sit down.
"Today is your birthday, and the Father has nothing to give you, these ...... It was your mother's belongings, and she used to tell me from time to time that she would leave them to you! Now that you have grown, it is time for you to give you these!"
Bai Jingxuan asked the little guy who followed behind him to bring a wooden box.
The wooden box looked at it, it was some years, and it was polished and shiny, and I wanted to come...... On weekdays, Bai Jingxuan rubs it a lot!
Bai Yanqing took the wooden box, and then opened it carefully.
In the ordinary wooden box, a whole set of jewelry is neatly placed! Every piece of jewelry is priceless!
"This ......"
Bai Yanqing was a little stunned, so many jewelry, any one of them, is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off!
"This is your mother's dowry."
Bai Jingxuan opened his mouth again to explain.
Trousseau?
That's right, Bai Yanqing is also a woman who has agreed to marry now, and she should have prepared her own dowry early!
"Yan Qing!"
There was another call, and Bai Yanqing immediately raised his head and greeted him with a smile.
"Auntie! Auntie!"
Bai Furong and Li Qinru came hand in hand.
"We don't have any good things to give you, these are the thoughts of my aunt and aunt."
Bai Furong and Li Qinru took out a package one after another. Looking at this posture, Bai Yanqing was shocked!
Under the signal of Bai Furong's eyes, Bai Yanqing reached out and took the burden, and after putting it on the table, he let the ink dye open, only to see that inside a baggage, there were two sets of brand-new dresses. Inside a baggage, are some delicate jewelry!
The finest brocade is cut with gold and silver threads, even the skirts! Such a set of dresses, ordinary people, are desperately saving a lifetime of silver, and they can't afford it!
These jewelry, well-made, with pearls inlaid on them, is afraid that just one can make ordinary people eat for half a lifetime!
"Auntie, auntie, you gave Yan Qing such a valuable gift! Yan Qing deserves it!"
Bai Yanqing said a little embarrassed, she asked Mo Dye to re-tie the package, and was about to hand it back to Bai Furong and Li Qinru!
"We can't afford to give such a gift! If you don't take it, we won't be able to sleep tonight."
Li Qinru shook Bai Yanqing's hand and joked with a smile. She really likes Bai Yanqing, she heard what her son said, Bai Yanqing gave Bai Junzhi the dagger before, and the whole Chenguo couldn't find a second one!
Such a rare treasure, Bai Yanqing was willing to give it to Bai Junzhi, and now, Li Qinru just gave some things outside of his body to Bai Yanqing! What's there to be reluctant to?
"That's it, then Yan Qing will accept it cheekily!"
Bai Yanqing waved his hand and asked Mo Dye to accept the things.
What Bai Yanqing thought in her heart was that when Lai Bizhi got married in the future, she would give Lai Bizhi more dowry! As for Bai Junzhi, all Bai Yanqing can think of is to pave the way for him and let him show his ambitions!
"It's not early, let's go home first, Yan Qing, take care of your life! We'll see you again in a few days!"
Bai Furong patted the back of Bai Yanqing's hand, then turned around and left with Li Qinru.
Seeing this, Bai Jingxuan also got up, and after explaining a few words to Bai Yanqing, he also left!
"Mo Dye, help me up, I'm going to send my father and aunt!"
When Mo Ran heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and helped Bai Yanqing up. After being tired all day, Bai Yanqing's legs were already sore, and it was difficult for him to get up on his own!
When Bai Yanqing walked to the gate of the courtyard, Bai Furong and the others had just gotten into the carriage.
"Sister Qing!"
Bai Junzhi lifted the curtain and waved with Bai Yanqing excitedly, Bai Yanqing also raised his arm happily and waved at Bai Junzhi.
"Sister, my business ......"
Lai Bizhi leaned on the side of the carriage window, glanced at Yuan Ziyue in the distance, and spoke with an embarrassed face. qδ
"Sister, don't worry, if he doesn't comply, I will tie him up and throw him back to you!"
Bai Yanqing replied with a smile.
"That...... Not necessarily, if he really doesn't want to, his sister won't force him!"
Lai Bizhi frowned at the moment, looking like she was reluctant to leave.
"Yuan Quinoa, call your brother over!"
Bai Yanqing turned his head and shouted at Yuan Quinoa, Yuan Quinoa got the order, and hurriedly ran to call Yuan Ziyue over!
"Ziyue, you can see clearly, this is my sister! In the future, if you see someone wrong and enter the wrong cave, I will not spare you!"
Yuan Ziyue was pulled over by Yuan Quinoa, and he was still a little stunned, and when he heard Bai Yanqing say this, he was even more frightened and took a few steps back! When he figured out the situation in front of him, he raised his eyes and saw Lai Bizhi's sad eyes!
Yuan Ziyue's heart moved slightly, but he couldn't see any emotion on his face!
"White girl, don't make fun of your subordinates!"
Yuan Ziyue was expressionless and spoke coldly.
Seeing this, Bai Yanqing no longer forced him, and only said lightly: "Since Ziyue has no intention of being with my sister, then ...... I'll go back and find a good husband for my sister! Such a cold-hearted person, let's not want him!"
After that, Bai Yanqing raised his foot and kicked towards the horse's leg, the horse was in pain, neighed, and then carried the carriage and galloped away!
