The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 468 and the wedding ceremony

As soon as it was dawn on the day of Jiji Li, the Su's Ancestral Hall, Erfang Main Courtyard and Xiulou began to move.

At the Su Clan's Ancestral Hall, Su Chenghao, the head of the clan, led his clansmen to assist Su Chengzhi in making various arrangements.

The main courtyard naturally needs some arrangements in order to receive the distinguished guests who are watching the ceremony. Although Ning Shi has been trying to make up for it these few days, Shi Shi still went from the big room to the second room early to help Ning Shi.

Su Miao didn't forget what she promised Su Yunduo earlier, she came here with Shi Shi early.

At this time, the Xiulou side was also brightly lit, Zi Su and Bai Zhi and other maids were still tiptoeing lightly for fear of disturbing the eldest princess, but the eldest princess woke up early in the morning.

When Su Miao came over, the eldest princess had finished her grooming and was having breakfast served by Aunt Bai.

Su Yunduo was being bathed by Nanny Shui personally.

The Eldest Princess already knew that her praiser was "robbed" from Su Miao. She already knew Su Miao, and when she heard that Su Miao was coming, she would invite Su Miao into the house.

Seeing that Su Miao wanted to salute with her, the eldest princess quickly stopped her mouth and said angrily: "Sister Miao doesn't need to be too polite, come and have dinner with me."

It is true that Su Miao hadn't eaten yet. Before the eldest princess came to Dongmingfang, she also ate with the eldest princess, and now she is eating with the eldest princess, and she can't go wrong with the etiquette.

After the eldest princess finished her meal, Su Yunduo just came out of the bathroom. Looking at Su Yunduo's ruddy and tender face, the eldest princess was full of envy, and whispered to Su Miao: "Sister Duo's skin is really good!"

Su Miao nodded again and again, but the appearance of Su Yunduo when she first entered Beijing flashed in her mind, she couldn't help pursing her lips and whispering back to the eldest princess: "Sister Duo has been raising really well these few months, you don't know that she just entered Beijing When I was in Beijing, although my skin was not bad, it was very dark!"

The princess looked at Su Yunduo in disbelief, who was sitting in front of the dressing table by Zisu and twisted her hair. She really couldn't compare Su Yunduo with fair, rosy and tender skin in front of her with the "tight black" Su Yunduo in Su Miao's mouth. Cloud connects.

After Zisu wrung out Su Yunduo's hair, Su Yunduo's black hair became the envy of the eldest princess and Su Miao. Su Yunduo spared no effort to share her skin care experience with them, and at the same time, she did not forget to do her best for herself. Advertise the workshop that is about to be built, although the two were originally insiders.

Soon Su Lin also came, and four girls of similar age were chatting and laughing in Xiulou to pass the time.

The maids such as Bai Zhi sent them news from the main courtyard almost every cup of tea. When they heard that Mrs. An, Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Xu, the eldest son, had arrived, Su Miao quickly stood up and said, "Let's go." , we should go to the main courtyard."

Those two are Su Yunduo's future grandma and stepmother, and also the grandmother and aunt of the eldest princess. The eldest princess is nothing more than that, but Su Yunduo has to go there to socialize.

When the four girls came to the main courtyard, even though it was still some time before the Jiji ceremony, the main courtyard was already bustling, even Mrs. Lu was already talking with the guests in the flower hall.

There are not many guests coming this time, only Zhen Guogong's mansion and Ning's family are here.

The people from Zhen Guogong's mansion were An's, Xiao Xu's and several girls of similar ages, while the whole Ning's family came to support Su Yunduo.

At this moment, Ning Shi was naturally also talking with An Shi, Xiao Xu Shi and their natal relatives in the flower hall. Hearing the voices of the girls, she hurried to let people in.

After a ceremony, the girls went to the east room of the main courtyard to wait.

Shi followed her in and took a look, seeing that Su Yunduo's face was calm and not nervous, she nodded in satisfaction, and gave the girls some advice before going out to get busy. When they arrived, she was worried about letting Ning Shi receive these distinguished guests alone.

As the guests who watched the ceremony arrived one after another, the main courtyard of Su's second bedroom became more and more lively.

The Ning family was led by the Shi family to welcome the guests into the flower hall respectfully first, and they would take them to the Su family's ancestral hall when the time was about to arrive.

That's right, Su Yunduo's Jiji Ceremony is located in the Su Clan's Ancestral Hall.

The eldest princess came not too late as the official guest, but it was not too early. After entering the flower hall, it was almost time for a cup of tea, and it was time to go to the ancestral hall.

At this time, Su Yunduo and his party had already gone to the ancestral hall first, where a room was specially set up for Su Yunduo to change clothes and rest.

As the direct branch, Erfang is naturally very close to the ancestral hall, and the group arrived at the ancestral hall within a short walk.

Soothing music echoed in the ancestral hall, and Ning and Su Chengzhi were standing on the east steps waiting for the arrival of the guests.

Su Lin tray, who is the secretary, stood under the west steps, and the guests first stood outside the venue and waited.

As soon as Grand Duke arrived, Ning Shi and Su Chengzhi stepped forward to greet each other, bowed to each other formally and entered the arena.

After all the guests were seated, Ning and the others sat at the master's seat.

When the auspicious time arrived, the music suddenly changed. Su Chengzhi got up and bowed deeply to the guests with an excited expression, "Today is my little girl Su's Yunduo's gift ceremony. Thank you all guests and friends for coming! My little girl Su's Yunduo's gift ceremony is officially start!"

After a short pause, Su Chengzhi turned to the east room where Su Yunduo was located, and said, "Please invite Su Yunduo to come in and meet all the guests and friends!"

The eldest princess came out of the east room first, and took her seat on the west steps after washing her hands.

Su Yunduo slowly walked out from the east room, walked to the center of the venue, faced south and bowed to the guests, and then knelt down on the seat facing west.

The eldest princess stepped forward to comb Su Yunduo's hair. Of course, this was just a formality. After a few combs, she put the comb on the south side of the mat.

At the same time, the Eldest Princess, who was the guest of honor, was getting ready. Ning followed the Eldest Princess and accompanied the Eldest Princess to wash and dry her hands on the east steps. The two bowed to each other and returned to their seats.

When the eldest princess put down the comb, Su Yunduo turned to sit in the east, and Su Lin presented the ropa and hairpin. The eldest princess walked up to Su Yunduo, chanted congratulations loudly, knelt down to comb Su Yunduo's hair, and then got up. Go back to your original position and sit down.

After the eldest princess gave Su Yunduo a symbolic straightening, Su Yunduo got up, and the guests stood up to congratulate Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo returned to the east room, and changed into the plain clothes and skirts that matched her head.

At this point and the beginning of the Ji ceremony, the addition is completed.

After the three prostrations are over, the decorations for the ceremony are removed, and a feast of wine and wine is set up on the west steps.

The eldest princess saluted and invited Su Yunduo to the table. Su Yunduo faced south and stood on the west side of the wine banquet, waiting for the next "Jiaozi" ceremony.

After the ceremony of "Jiaozi" was completed, Su Yunduo stood up and left the table, facing south and standing on the east side of the west steps, waiting for the words given by the princess.

Su Yunduo's words were not taken by the Eldest Princess, but bestowed by the Holy Majesty. At this moment, it is only announced by the Eldest Princess.

The character bestowed on Su Yunduo by the Holy One is "Yu", which comes from "Zhong Ling Yuxiu", implicitly praising Su Yunduo as an outstanding figure who condenses the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Princess Dachang bestowed the letter, and Su Yunduo thanked her, and then Su Yunduo knelt in front of her parents to listen to their teachings.

After quietly listening to his parents' teachings, Su Yunduo replied: "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not only accept it!", and then bowed to her parents, until the end of the ceremony, Su Yunduo bowed to all the participants A gift of thanks.

Su Yunduo stood side by side with his parents, and all stood up. Su Chengzhi bowed deeply again to all the participants, and announced loudly: "The little girl Su's Yunduo ceremony has been completed. Thank you for your kind participation!"
