Chapter 20: Unstoppable
September 9 is the most important day for the younger generation of Gao Laozhuang.
Every year, the men and women of the crown gather on this day to celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony.
In addition to the carnival of men and women, the most important thing in the coming-of-age ceremony is the appearance of new stars.
There will be a fixed number of recommended places for the bookmaker, the Zuo family, the academy and various industries. The three young ladies Xianglan, Magnolia, and Cuilan will also arrange a public appearance on this day when they meet the juniors who can look at them.
At the coming-of-age ceremony, all eyes were on it. According to the ability, talent, and potential shown by the test disciples, it is immediately decided whether to be admitted to the door. Particularly promising disciples will become the objects sought after by men and women at the coming-of-age ceremony.
In previous coming-of-age ceremonies, it was common for a disciple to leave with several women. Giving birth to offspring for the strong is the glory of an ordinary woman's life.
Cheng Yu had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and in the morning, he specially trimmed his hair and chose his best clothes.
As soon as I arrived in the inner courtyard, I was pulled by my aunt and Gao Luoqiqi.
After Gao Luo was willing to lose the gamble yesterday, she followed Cheng Yu back to the hospital. The whole person was obedient and lost the sense of fighting spirit.
"This outfit is so bad, there won't be a few women who like you", the aunt looked disgusted.
Gao Luo also said, "Without makeup, the people in the audience will not even be able to see your face clearly." ”
Cheng Yu said helplessly, "Auntie, I have already put on the best clothes." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her aunt took out a box from behind her, "With this, our fish must be the most dazzling one on the field." ”
After speaking, he pushed Cheng Yu out of the inner courtyard, "Luo'er, you will put on makeup for Xiao Yu'er in a while"
Gao Luo didn't look very interested, and her aunt rubbed her head, "It's a good thing that more people like fish." ”
After a while, Cheng Yu jumped into the inner courtyard again, full of spirit.
Such as falling from the sky, a white general.
I saw that he was seven feet long, with a pair of handsome eyes, and he was clearly indiscriminate.
The face is like a crown of jade, bright and translucent, and the end is full of glory.
The lower forehead is smooth and beardless.
It is lined with soapy robes and covered with blue brocade.
Dressed in white clothes, white armor and white flags, two dragons are engraved with pearls.
The table is embedded with eight treasures, and the snail umbrella covers the flower jar fish intestines.
Foot on cold steel leggings boots, in front of and behind him is a hundred steps of majesty.
Gao Luo was stunned. The aunt was also a little shaken.
Women are not, just because men are not handsome enough.
"How's it going?" Cheng Yu felt like a singer, very awkward.
Gao Luo stepped forward with a red face, pressed Cheng Yu on the chair, and applied incense to his face, so that his entire facial features could look more three-dimensional from a distance.
As a dogwood was inserted on Cheng Yu's head as a hairpin, Gao Luo helped Cheng Yu's face to look up and down left and right before saying with satisfaction, "Okay." ”
This toss, there is not much time left before the opening of the coming-of-age ceremony.
The three of them walked out of the courtyard gate together, and the aunt and Gao Luo had already changed into flowing long skirts, holding Luo umbrellas, and walked beside Cheng Yu left and right.
Cheng Yu looked at Gao Luo in a long skirt, quite a small jasper.
"What was the process of Sister Luo's test qualification last year?"
"Every year is different. Gao Luo thought this question was particularly silly.
Gao Luo has so many admirers, and he is reused by the eldest lady, so he should be extremely good in terms of performance.
The streets of Gao Laozhuang were empty, and everyone went to the large square of the central manor through the four stone bridges in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
Cheng Yu and the three of them hurried to the stone bridge on the west side of the manor. The ceremony inside was about to begin, and no one was in or out of the bridge except for the inner disciples who were on guard, only the gold and jade looked at this side with longing eyes.
Dressed as a scholar, he is quite neutral.
Seeing Cheng Yu and the three of them, Jin Zhuyu trotted all the way, with a faint fragrance on his body.
He bowed deeply to his aunt, and then bowed to Gao Luo, and then calmly said to Cheng Yu, "Cheng Gongzi, the slave family has come to help you." ”
My aunt was saluted, "Why did you suddenly fall in love with my fish?"
"Cheng Gongzi is now my owner, and it is reasonable for the slave family to support. ”
Remembering that he couldn't wait for Gao Luo in the same position before, Cheng Yu deliberately said to Jin Jiyu, "How long have you waited?"
"I've been waiting here early in the morning, for fear of missing my son", Jin Jiyu said and inserted it between Gao Luo and Cheng Yu.
Gao Luo next to him was squeezed out of the way and patted Cheng Yu's shoulder awkwardly, "Come on, I'll go to the eldest lady's side." With that, he ran into the manor.
Cheng Yu didn't say anything, and walked out first, but the beauty behind him was replaced by an aunt and a gold inlaid jade.
On the square, on the high platform facing north and south, there are nine high-ranking and powerful people in Gao Laozhuang, and there are nine squares opposite, which are full of people who come today.
The eldest lady sat in a turquoise chair in the middle, steaming white in the rising sun. Wearing an ice silk robe, he looked cold and noble. Gao Luo stood aside.
"Let's start", this kind of ritual has been done for hundreds of years, and the eldest lady doesn't have any nonsense, "Let them in." ”
There are five round platforms in front of the nine squares, which means that five young people have been recommended this year.
Passionate music was played on the sidelines, and the boys and girls present also joined in the fierce applause and cheers. Especially the boy who had just been weakly crowned was the most excited, as if all the girls' eyes were on him.
An old man on the high platform stepped forward and walked to the middle of the square and preached loudly, "Please be the first spirit seed today."
"His name is ......"
When the music was at its climax, everyone was looking forward to it, and suddenly an abrupt voice came from behind the nine squares, "Where are we sitting?"
The old man was like a mouthful of phlegm blocked in his mouth, his momentum was cut off, and he shouted angrily, "Who? Who is it? The ceremony has already begun, and I will be kicked out!"
Everyone's eyes were on the south entrance.
Cheng Yu didn't expect him to appear like this. This outfit is really a dimensionality reduction blow, and there is no one on the field.
"What a handsome offspring!" said an aunt.
"Wow, just one look at him makes me feel something move in my stomach. The little girl in the craftsman's robe next to the aunt blushed.
"You ate too much this morning," the aunt said angrily.
"If I can get his love, my future children will not be as ugly as my father. Mother, don't you say?"
The aunt glanced at the two women behind Cheng Yu and couldn't bear to hit her daughter.
There were several acquaintances on the high platform.
The eldest lady whispered a few words in Gao Luo's ear, and she was in a good mood.
To the left of the eldest lady is the second lady, who also has a smile on her face. Behind him was Zhuang Mou, with an indignant look, "Showing off, silver-like spear head!"
A woman on the right hand side was shrouded in a rune robe, revealing only a pair of dark eyes. It should be the third lady. Behind her stood a man in a talisman robe, probably the son of the Zuo family, Cheng Yu didn't know before.
Of the other six people on the stage, Cheng Yu recognized Zhuang Qiang, the first year of high school, and the third year of high school. There are also two, who are supposed to be the big guys in charge of the auction house and the brewing workshop, which they have not seen before.
When the old man saw that no one was going to catch up, he became angry and prepared to personally come forward to reprimand the comer.
When I walked up, I saw my aunt holding an umbrella on her left, and a fan on her right, and she couldn't say anything cruel.
"Old man, where do we sit, lead the way"
The audience burst into laughter.
