Chapter 493: Rite of Passage
Open your eyes and look at the familiar ceiling.
Mu Yaoxi lifted the quilt, sat up, sat on the bed for about thirty seconds, adjusted the state to the day, she walked on the floor barefoot, feeling cold, and left a faint white footprint mark on the ground she stepped on.
Walked into the bathroom in the room, after a simple wash, picked up the comb and began to arrange her hair, she habitually subconsciously wanted to pick up her favorite black butterfly hairpin to clip her hair, but found that the hairpin had already been put away, and looked down to see a brand-new black jade hairpin placed in front of the dresser.
From today onwards, she has to say goodbye to the hairstyles of the past, and she has to learn to comb her hair like an adult.
Because, today is her coming of age day.
In Great Bactria, adulthood is an important thing for everyone, and reaching the age of eighteen is of great significance not only in the legal sense, but also in social reality.
Qualifications and age are always a threshold, and only adult teenagers and girls can be recognized by the older generation, retreat from youth, and gradually grow into adults.
And in the circle of the capital, if a woman is an adult, it also means another important thing.
She can get married.
Mu Yaoxi's family background is excellent.
It is indispensable that the phoenix man will have some ideas, and it is indispensable that everyone who is in the right place will have relevant ideas.
Men should get married, women should get married, and this has been the case since ancient times.
Mu Yaoxi is not unaccustomed to this, but the action of curling her hair is still relatively rusty, and she still needs to practice slowly in the future.
It's okay to just coil up her hair, but she doesn't cut it off directly, in that case, she can't bear it.
This beautiful black hair is the result of more than ten years of careful care.
Mu Yaoxi coiled her hair up, her movements were a little weird and funny, and at this time the door was pushed open, and a good-looking figure appeared behind her, grabbed her wrist, and said gently: "It should be done like this." ”
Su Ruoli simply taught her, and Mu Yaoxi quickly subdued her disobedient hair.
"You're even going to do that?"
"Well, I've practiced secretly for a long time, and coiling my hair is a compulsory course for long-haired women."
"Is there anything else you say?"
"When you reach my age, you'll understand." Su Ruoli raised her lips and smiled.
“……”
"You are only eighteen years old now, it doesn't mean that you have grown up, and when you want to get married, you will naturally understand."
"Married?" Mu Yaoxi rolled her eyes: "When did you come up with this idea?" ”
"The summer of thirteen."
"You're too precocious, aren't you?"
"It's not precocious, I watched a love movie that year, although it was very bloody, but I still feel very envious." Su Ruoli hummed softly: "I remember the theme song clearly until now." ”
Mu Yaoxi said sullenly: "I don't plan to be someone else's wife yet, and my family situation, nine times out of ten, I want to recruit a son-in-law, hurry up and finish the matter here, and hide in Penglai Academy for a few years." ”
During the small talk, they walked downstairs holding hands, and as soon as they went downstairs, they saw Ruan Qingxue scattering a handful of flower petals on the ceiling.
"Happy birthday."
"I'm not necessarily happy, but you're certainly happy." Mu Yaoxi blew a mouthful of floating petals, looked at the unrecognizable home that was dressed, and couldn't help but look subtle: "Is it necessary to be so solemn?" ”
"There will be a lot of guests here today." Wu Qing walked up and rubbed his granddaughter's side face affectionately: "I really hope your father and mother can also see this scene." ”
Mu Yaoxi: "......"
Don't say they're as if they're dead, okay?
It's just that you can't come back from guarding the frontier, and it's not that the people are gone.
Today's Mu family is very lively.
On the last day of the end of November, Mu Yaoxi's coming-of-age ceremony arrived, and gifts from all over the world came in one after another.
Half of the capital knows the news that the daughter of the Mu family is going to become an adult, because her family is full of loyalty, and because she is a noble heroic bloodline, the honor of the Mu family can be maintained for at least another hundred years in the future, if you are lucky, maybe there will be another heroic family.
In the past, she didn't have to show up for visitors and handed them over to her grandparents, but this time she had to dress up as an adult and keep a decent smile to receive guests.
In the face of compliments from all sides, she also has to accept it calmly with a smile, and deal with it with a 'I know' smile.
Even if you meet an acquaintance, you can't relax, and you have to show a very sense of distance, so as to avoid other people from seeing superfluous ideas.
It's a punishment.
In the past, Mu Yaoxi saw the process of receiving foreign guests once in the capital when he was a child, and the foreign guest seemed to be a visitor from a small country nearby, and he came by plane, but after he actually arrived, he would find out that he was ...... It's not the same as the tall scene you see on TV.
The imaginary scene is that the foreign guests are stepping on the red carpet, reviewing the guard of honor, smiling confidently, with a decent attitude, and with the narrator's broadcast tone, which is called style.
In fact, foreign guests walked on the red carpet, to take into account the standing posture, the wind is very strong, and they can't cover their hair with their hands to mess up the hairstyle, so they have to wear a hat, stand on the open flat ground, and a circle of people around you carry cameras around you, flashing from time to time with a blind dog's eyes, as if they are carrying a bazooka on their shoulders, not to mention the guard of honor, this group of soldiers who are almost the same height and look like clones who are not stunned, even so you have to maintain a confident smile and walk over, The more I look at it, the more I think this group of people looks like a group of terminators, damn it, you won't suddenly start the self-destruct mode and smash me, right?
After Mu Yaoxi got lost that year, she followed the team of foreign guests, the same way, almost didn't scare her to cry directly, the six-year-old girl left a deep psychological trauma, and so far she has retained a strong discomfort with the honor guard, and she can hide.
Now it is simply a second reproduction of that scene, except that the honor guard has been replaced by Mu Yaoxi herself.
This reception lasts from 7 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock in the afternoon, after the end of the morning gift-giving, the afternoon will be much more relaxed, are relatives and friends, you can sit on the sofa around the coffee table to play tea around the melon seeds.
Mu Yaoxi still has her own childhood playmates, although she has become increasingly distant since she grew up.
She thought that she had no lunch to eat, but she didn't expect Su Ruoli to make her a lunch in advance, which moved Miss Mu and wanted to make a promise on the spot.
Wu Qing and Mu Zongbao also didn't have time to have lunch, and after learning that Su Ruoli was not only responsible for entertaining the guests at home, but also made a cameo appearance as a cook, they praised her even more.
"It would be nice if it were my granddaughter." Old man Mu sighed: "What a worry-free! ”
Mu Yaoxi kicked over the small stool under his grandfather's buttocks.
It is no secret that a considerable number of the guests who came knew Su Ruoli's identity.
Now the innate heroic spirit bloodline in the entire Great Xia is less than ten fingers, and the heroic spirit bloodline that has not yet entered the adult stage is only Mu Yaoxi, Su Ruoli and a Daomen Holy Son of Xuantian Division.
The friendship between them means that the importance of the Mu family has increased again, and the combination of the two innate heroic spirits means that there is a huge potential ability, and the influence of the two women who will definitely be canonized in the future on Great Xia will definitely not lose to any saint family.
Investment is a philosophy, and many people today saw Su Ruoli helping out in the Mu family, as if he was not an outsider, and his mind suddenly became active, and he had secretly given birth to many ideas, and some of them even began to feel that the gifts they gave were a little light.
Even fewer people are curious...... Why didn't the rumored 'third person' show up?
The gifts alone filled a room, and the list of givers was more than thirty pages long.
Most of the capital came to send congratulatory gifts, and those who came were either rich or expensive.
"Is the process over?" Ruan Qingxue kneaded her calves and asked.
"Where is this?" Mu Yaoxi lay on Su Ruoli's lap and sighed lazily: "There are still at night." ”
"And?"
"The human relations of the people of Daxia are to receive gifts and give gifts, and invite guests to dinner."
Mu Yaoxi said quietly: "Don't look at the lot of things in that room, in fact, if the situation of the Mu family is bad in the future, they will have to be sent back." ”
"Where is it at night?"
"What's a big hotel, right? Grandma ordered, you ask her to go. ”
Mu Yaoxi responded casually, and immediately heard the sound of the mobile phone vibrating, opened his eyes, and caught a glimpse of who Su Ruoli was chatting with.
She didn't have to guess who it was, and asked, "Is he in time?" ”
Immediately, he turned his head away and said sulkingly: "It's too late." ”
Su Ruoli poked Mu Yaoxi's cheek and turned the phone sideways to show her.
The dialogue is concise.
11.29;20:00
Never give up: Where is it now?
Born to Have: On the Road.
11.30;8:30
Never give up: Where is it now?
Nothing in the sky: it's coming, it's almost there!
11.30;16:21
Never give up: What now?
What is in the sky: I'm ready to go down!
Mu Yaoxi turned over and stood up: "This is too pigeon!" ”
With a day's notice, it took a day and a half to leave!
Su Ruoli watched Mu Yaoxi leave helplessly and continued to type.
There is nothing in the sky: there was some delay, but it was not a big problem, I could be back in three hours, and I will start the table when I arrive...... If not, you eat first!
Don't give up: don't be in a hurry, be careful on the road, there are thousands of roads, safety first.
What is in the sky: In order to prepare the birthday present, it took a little more time.
Never leave: I'm looking forward to it.
What is in the sky: Don't worry, by the way, help me ask Mu Yaoxi.
Never give up: What?
What is in the sky: Is his family allergic to suona?
Never give up: Will you teach people to play suona on the Phoenix stage?
What is in Heaven:...... Suona is a backup, and isn't it quite festive for a hundred birds and a phoenix?
Don't give up: Could it be that Huangqixia taught you to blow a hundred birds and a phoenix? How did she teach you, can you tell me about it? Smile. JPG
What is in the sky: the signal is not very good, the wind is very strong on the road, I didn't see what you sent, the word was blown away!
Don't give up: Baby wood, don't come tonight, I'm afraid you'll be killed.
