Chapter 147

After entrusting the shipping affairs clearly, Lu Weimang also returned to the idle daily life of the Shangya.

Every day when he gets up early to go to the office, Lu Weimang will bring a few sweet potatoes from home and put them on the red stove, and when he rests at noon, he is almost ready to eat.

At noon today, Lu Weimang and Huo Jing were still on top of the Ming Hall, eating sweet potatoes and pastries by the red stove, with black tea, very comfortable.

"It's time for your ceremony, are you nervous?"

Lu Weimang heard Huo Jing's sudden question, was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, "I don't feel anything, but my father is more nervous, and he has been quite restless these days." The queen mother said that she was in charge of my gifts, and my father didn't know what he was nervous about. ”

Lu Weimang always felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of his father holding his hand this morning, thinking about something, "My son has grown up".

Lu Qingshan has always been very arrogant, and he has been sentimental for the past few days.

"Is it held at home?"

Huo Jing asked again.

"Well, it's at home."

This is also what Lu Weimang won with the queen. The queen's original intention was to hold it in the palace, but Lu Weimang resolutely opposed it.

Her own gifts, her own family is just a little lively, and it makes no sense to find some other people to come over, except for them to follow the fun.

Fortunately, the queen was reasonable and agreed to Lu Weimang's request.

"On that day, I'll come to the door early and help Lord Lu take care of one or two."

Huo Jing said this, Lu Weimang turned his head to look at him, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

"Well, if you come, my father will be happy."

Lu Weimang said stunned.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighteenth day of the lunar month.

Lu Weimang got up early in the morning, and under the tossing of the grandmother given by the queen's mother, he combed all his hair, and in his hair, in addition to the small hairpin and hairpin used in the past, he was also specially put on a small step by the queen by the mother. The bright moon on the ears, the gold bracelet of the double dragon playing with pearls on the wrist, and the pearl ring of the same style on the hand and the ear. The dress also put away all the student robes that Lu Weimang often wore in the past, and replaced them with a vermilion robe full of embroidered pomegranate patterns given by the mother. Fortunately, Lu Weimang has been in the cat winter recently, and his skin is snow-white, so the red does not look dull, but the inverted Lu Weimang is more and more flamboyant and bright. The robe is draped loosely, and when it moves, it is windless and automatic, but it is not restrained as Lu Weimang imagined.

After dressing up, Lu Weimang was pressed on the chair by her grandmother, and began to apply powder on her face again.

"Mama!" Lu Weimang hurriedly pressed Mama's hand, "How do you pick me up, I'm up to you, but just apply the powder, my skin is okay, let's not apply the powder, right?" ”

Lu Weimang discussed with Mama.

The grandmother pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss Lu, don't get me wrong, after the woman and the flute, she doesn't need to dress up with powder every day." The outfit you have seen in the past is just because your face is not good, so you need to cover it with fat powder. Your skin is clear and youthful, and you don't need to apply powder. This pearl powder only serves as a lubrication. I'll give you a twist of noodles later, and use this pearl powder to make you feel less pain. ”

Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his face, and was awe-inspiring, "Then come on!" ”

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Mama took out the red thread from the makeup box on the side, and after a few circles with her two hands, she flicked it on Lu Weimang's face.

It hurts a little bit more than the ant tongs, but it is not unacceptable, Lu Weimang felt the pain on his face, and let his grandmother wring his face.

Half an hour later, the grandmother who had gone through it over and over again finally stopped, swept away the pearl powder on Lu Weimang's face with a soft fox fur brush, and then wet the handkerchief with cold water.

"Miss Lu, this veil is a little cold, bear with me. Apply a cold cloth to it, and the red on your face will fade in a while, without delaying your ritual for a while. ”

"Come on!" Lu Weimang raised his head and motioned for Mama to do it.

The cool handkerchief was applied to his face, and Lu Weimang felt that the red and hot feeling on his face instantly faded.

"Miss, the guests are here, Huo Hou and Niangniang are also here, the master asked you to pack up and come to Mingtang."

Xiao Xia's voice rang out. Lu Weimang got up and was about to go out, but was held down by his grandmother.

"Miss Lu, women should be demure. Especially after you and you, if you move, you must think about it and then move. I'd rather be three points slower than go for the lead. ”

Lu Weimang nodded kindly, got up slowly, and walked in small steps.

This is Mama's job, and she can't bear it this morning.

Mama was on Lu Weimang's side, supporting Lu Weimang.

In the past, he could walk from his courtyard to Mingtang in five minutes, but today he was supported by his grandmother, and Lu Weimangsheng walked for more than ten minutes.

Before Lu Weimang felt that his hands were cold and his feet were cold, he finally arrived at the warm Mingtang.

Lu Weimang finally knew why everyone had to be fully equipped when they went out, because they were slow and really needed.

When they arrived at the Ming Hall, everyone gathered together.

Lu Weimang was born in the country, and there were no female relatives in the Lu Mansion, so today's Jilu is not separated from the male and female guests as usual, but in the same room.

In addition to the queen's mother, the second princess and the queen's lady invited by the queen have no one else.

There are a lot of male customers.

Chengyang, Changfeng, Huo Jing needless to say, Qin Xuan and other classmates of Guozijian, as well as Niu Tianyu, also came. Because the lady Shiquan invited by the queen today is the Duchess of Niu Guo, and the family came neatly.

Lu Weimang saluted first, "I've seen the queen." ”

"Get up, today is your good day, no need to be polite."

Lu Weimang got up slowly, the steps on his head did not move at all, and he faced Mrs. Shiquan again, "I have seen the Duke and Mrs. Niu Guo." ”

Niu Guogong stroked his beard and smiled, Mrs. Niu was also full of kindness, and it could be seen from her round smiling face that her life was very comfortable.

"Good boy, get up."

Mrs. Niu stepped out and helped Lu Weimang to get up.

Lu Weimang thanked him halfway.

He also bowed to the second princess, "Princess." ”

The second princess returned the salute, "Today is your coming-of-age ceremony, you are all your own people, don't give too many courtesies." ”

There are also the people of the country.

"Qin Gongzi."

Lu Weimang deliberately half-bowed.

Qin Xuan shook his shoulders exaggeratedly, "Your appearance makes people panic, don't be like this!" ”

The crowd laughed.

"That's it, Lu Weimang, we have been classmates for many years, what are you like, we know it clearly, we don't have to be polite today."

Lu Weimang rolled his eyes and didn't refute it, saving himself from ruining his hard-working demeanor.

looked at Niu Gongzi again, "Niu Gongzi is polite." ”

Niu Tianyu held back a smile and returned the salute.

Lu Weimang stopped at this time, stood beside Huo Jing, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Alright, the auspicious time is almost over, let's get started!"

The queen gave an order, and Lu Weimang's harmony officially began.

The queen took off the flower on her head, and Mrs. Niu used a comb to comb a strand of hair specially draped behind Lu Weimang.

"On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian dollar is served. Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. ”

reciting the auspicious words that have been passed down since ancient times, while putting Lu Weimang's hair behind his head with the queen's hairpin, he put the hairpin on the other side of Lu Weimang's head.

put on the gorgeous robe that Xiao Xia was holding on to Lu Weimang, and stood beside Lu Weimang to help her sort out her clothes.

The gentle teaching of the female elders made the eyes of the people in the audience gentle, looking at Lu Weimang, who was in the middle of the ceremony.

Lu Weimang felt Mrs. Niu's gentle movements and advice, and her eyes were involuntarily moist.

Soon, Mrs. Niu sorted it out, and Lu Weimang thanked her half-politely.

Lu Qingshan stepped forward at this time.

The excitement in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all.

"In the early years, Daddy never imagined that he would be able to see me grow up with my own eyes on this day."

As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Weimang's hand and held it tightly.

"Daddy is incompetent, so you have been tempered since you were a child, so Daddy doesn't have the face to say anything to teach, my daughter is the best."

The crowd chuckled.

"However, in this world, a hundred kinds of rice raise a thousand kinds of people, I only hope that the people you meet can be reasonable and sincere."

Cheng Yang and Changfeng followed behind their father, and at this time they also stepped forward and held the hands of the two, and the hands of the family were held tightly, smiling at each other.

"Okay, if it's more, you don't need me to say, let's take a seat! Everyone came over today to give a salute to the little girl, Lu someone, thank you. Come on, come on, everybody is seated. ”

Everyone smiled and sat down, and the butler wiped his eyes and busied.

On the table, the queen is at the top, next to the second princess, and the lower left hand is the husband and wife of Niu Guogong.

Huo Jing and Lu Weimang sat side by side on the right side of the queen, and then everyone sat down in turn.

The banquet was an ordinary family banquet, and the wine was also light plum wine, but everyone at the banquet looked relaxed and comfortable.

"Weimang is still the same as before, in the past, we were in the Guozijian, as long as we didn't look for you, you would never come out. Now that we have entered the court, we are in Chunxi Hall with Huo Hou, and there is no official business, so it is difficult for us to even meet once. ”

After a few glasses of wine, Qin Xuan was the first to complain.

Lu Weimang ignored his sour words, and only rolled his eyes, "What are you doing?" Haven't you seen enough in Guozijian? Still going to look for you? When you have something, just talk about it, and when you have nothing to do, don't disturb my leisure. ”

Qin Xuan smiled bitterly, "Huo Hou, Wei Mang is talking to you, is it also so choking?" ”

Huo Jing shook his head, "Choking?" Weimang's weekdays, don't they all talk like this? Could it be that Lord Qin has listened to too many gentle words and is not used to it? ”

The two of them spoke in unison, Qin Xuan smiled bitterly, and picked up a glass of wine, "Willing to bow down." ”

Lu Weimang and Huo Jing also raised their glasses together, touched each other, and drank them all.
