Chapter 1433 Famine and Natural Disaster 591
Another two years passed. Mingyi returned to Chengjiazhuang once a year, and after the New Year she followed Zhou Ting back to Fucheng. So this year was her coming of age.

In early April, Zhou Ting brought his teacher and Mingyi back to the city.

On the day of June 16, the fiancée of the Crown Prince of Zhou held her coming-of-age ceremony and a banquet was held for the guests. The whole Chengjiazhuang was immersed in a sea of ​​red silk, and red could be seen everywhere. Guests kept coming.

The heads of the wealthy families in Fucheng, Fucheng, and even other towns all came to the coming-of-age banquet.

Cheng Dazhu and other members of the Cheng family were dressed in new clothes today. Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya were dressed in silk and satin. After several years of good life, with the addition of some skin-nourishing ointments sent by Princess Zhou, Chen Daya's rough hands were nourished to be white and delicate, and she was not inferior to other noble ladies when entertaining guests.

The time has come.

"Welcome!"

The coming-of-age ceremony was held in the lobby of the Cheng family's front yard, with the master of ceremonies at the side and the hosts, such as Cheng Dazhui, Luo Cuihua, Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya, sitting on the upper east side. The master of ceremonies stood at the lower west side and sang, while the guests stood outside the venue waiting.

Mingyi took a bath early, changed into her formal clothes and shoes, and waited in the wing room on the east side of the main hall.

When the main guest came, Cheng Yuanxi bowed to him and invited him to the main guest seat; the guests who came later sat in the viewing area. After the guests were seated, Cheng Yuanxi made sure that there was no problem, and then he helped the old man and the old lady to the host seat.

When the ceremony began, it should have been Cheng Yuanxi who stepped forward to speak, but he was a little timid; there were too many people and the status of the guests was too high, and he was afraid of making a fool of himself if he spoke incorrectly, so he discussed it with Fan Qingzhi in advance and let Fan Qingzhi come forward to speak.

There is nothing wrong with this etiquette. A teacher is like a father. As long as Cheng Yuanxi, his biological father, has no objection, Fan Qingzhi can deliver the speech on his behalf.

"I would like to thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here. Today, my disciple Cheng Mingyi is going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony. Please come in if you want to support me!"

Just a few simple words made Cheng Yuanxi break out in a cold sweat. It was not like he had not seen other people's speeches at coming-of-age ceremonies before; they were full of enthusiasm, full of nice words, thanking the relatives and friends who came to the banquet for giving face and being willing to add some joy. However, this old man Fan's few simple words controlled the whole scene, which was more effective than any countless words he could say.

If he stood up, he would probably end up making a fool of himself.

Each class has its own attitude.

He couldn't be as calm and composed as Master Fan, and treat the powerful people with a normal attitude.

The sponsor was invited by Princess Zhou. She was the wife of the general who guarded the country. She had all the necessary qualities and was the one with the highest status among the female members present.

The general was over forty years old, dressed in a decent blue suit, dignified and polite. She washed her hands first and took her seat on the west steps.

At this time, the master of ceremonies sang: "Please come in, the one who has just received the marriage rite!"

Mingyi, who heard the noise in the east wing, entered the room in a colorful dress and stepped into the main hall under the gaze of many guests.

Her face is as delicate as a flower, her figure is graceful and elegant, and she walks slowly like a blooming lotus. The fifteen-year-old girl is at her best age, with elegant features, a smile on her lips, and a bright and confident look. Although her appearance is often criticized, she still gives off a dignified and elegant temperament, which suppresses her coquettish look.

Many guests understood in an instant why the Prince of Zhou looked at a commoner girl differently.

She exudes elegance and calmness, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is stunningly beautiful.

Most girls in their family are inferior to her, not to mention that this person is the closed disciple of Grand Master Fan, the only female disciple. You can imagine how much she is valued. Look at Grand Master Fan, ever since she came out, he has been looking at her with a kind and gentle gaze to the point of doting.

They have some information channels that this Miss Cheng is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has inner beauty.

She was brought up personally by Grand Master Fan. In terms of knowledge, experience, and vision, the girls in their family cannot be compared to hers.

Whenever I think about this, I get angry!

None of the boys and girls in their family caught the eye of Grand Tutor Fan. They came from a prominent family with many talented people; however, they were still no match for a girl from a humble family.

Mingyi walked to the center of the venue, bowed to the guests, and then knelt on the mat facing west. The assistant came forward to comb her hair. From that day on, she entered the ranks of adult women, and her hairstyle naturally changed. After combing her hair, the assistant put the comb on the south side of the mat and left with a smile.

After that the guest will wash.

The main guests wash their hands, wipe them dry, bow to each other and then return to their seats.

Mingyi turned to the east and sat upright. The master of ceremonies presented him with a robe and a hairpin. The main guest stepped forward and chanted a blessing speech loudly, "On this auspicious day of a good month, you are wearing your first clothes. I will abandon your childish ambitions and follow your virtues. I wish you a long life and great happiness."

Initial addition completed.

Zhengbin combed Mingyi's hair and put on a hairpin, then stood up and left.

The praiser came forward and symbolically corrected her hairpin. Mingyi bowed to express her gratitude and turned back to the east wing. The praiser came forward holding the clothes and skirt that had been prepared long ago and helped her change into a new set of clothes, which matched the gold on Mingyi's head.

Bow after coming out.

According to the process, there are two additions, two bows; three additions, three bows; placing wine; offerings; the person who gives the title of marriage tiara; listening to instructions; after going through each process one by one, Mingyi completed it wholeheartedly, and then bowed to express gratitude to the sponsor, the main guest, the guest of honor and the host.

Afterwards, Grand Master Fan came out to express his gratitude again.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

After all the hassle, the coming-of-age ceremony was just completed and noon was approaching; the men took care of the guests and sent those who needed to leave away. Most of those who stayed at home were relatives.

At noon, the palace will come to pick up the bride. The guests who come this time will have to go back to the palace to attend the wedding banquet, and will not be able to attend the coming-of-age ceremony banquet.

With these two things happening at the same time, the Cheng family was very busy.

Chen Daya, Li Lianhua, Feng Juhua and others surrounded Mingyi and took her back to the courtyard, where she changed into her wedding dress and did her makeup again. Chunmei, Madam Zhao, and Madam Rong who came back with them were busy counting and looking after the dowry.

After Mingyi was dressed up, Chen Daya shouted, "Where are the dumplings? Bring them here, eat them before they get old."

"I'm coming!"

Outside the door, an aunt from the Cheng family hurriedly brought in a plate of dumplings.

Chen Daya thanked her and took it, then fed her daughter herself, "Yiyi, eat a bite, don't eat too much."

"Thank you, mother." Mingyi lowered her head and took a bite from her mother's hand. The small bite was completely raw and hard to swallow. "Mother, it's raw."

"Good birth, good birth, may my son give birth to a precious baby soon, may you and your spouse love each other, and may everything go well."

Mingyi pursed her lips, pretended to be shy, and lowered her head with a smile.

Li Lianhua, Feng Juhua and others, as well as the women in the clan, smiled kindly and offered congratulations continuously.

Mingyi sat there under everyone's eyes for more than half an hour until the wedding procession arrived, and she was able to leave the yard smoothly. She had thought that there would be an attempt to stop the bride, but unexpectedly, because Zhou Ting's status and position were too high, no one dared to stop her, and she was smoothly taken into the bridal sedan.

She heaved a sigh of relief after being cut off from all sights from the outside world.

"Sister, eat when you're hungry." Cheng Mingli carried Mingyi to the bridal sedan chair and stuffed a small oil-paper bag into her without leaving any trace.

Mingyi held the oil-paper bag and said softly, "Thank you, brother. I'm really hungry. I didn't eat much this morning."

After the wedding, she got married and didn’t even have time to eat lunch.
