Hidden golden branches

Chen Rong didn't know that Mrs. An Guogong was coming. She was a little surprised when she saw Ji Yuxian in the crowd.

Seeing that he was dressed formally today, he was wearing a purple dark silver robe with Ruyi moire pattern, a dark green jade crown on his head, and a lotus jade hairpin of the same color, which made his face look like a crown jade, making him look elegant and elegant. But it is not the frailty of a scholar, but a lot more heroic, upright, and majestic. Qiu Ri lingered on him like a woman's gentle gaze, and he couldn't bear to leave. Chen Rong had to admit that Prince An Guo was really well born.

The main door of the main hall was wide open. Ji Yuxian saw Chen Rong sitting in the inner room and looking towards him. He nodded to her and smiled warmly, and walked over to Yun Man to salute as a junior: "I have met Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen. .”

Yun Man was startled, and he quickly helped the person up in a daze, with a hint of fear in his voice: "Hey, Lord Ji, Sir, if you don't say anything, you can break my body!"

Yun Man took a closer look at Ji Yuxian who was right in front of her. Before Ji Yuxian went to the frontier for training, she often followed her son Chen Zhao to the house to play. She hadn't seen him for several years, and the prince's temperament and appearance were better than before, and he was more handsome and handsome.

As soon as the auspicious time comes, the haircut ceremony begins.

This time, Yun Man's sister-in-law Wen was invited to be Chen Rong's guest of honor.

The Yun family was a scholarly family for a century. When Yun Man's father was still alive, officials went to the Imperial Academy to offer wine.

The eldest brother Yun Yanyun was appointed as the inspector of Yangzhou by the emperor three years ago. It is expected that he will return to Beijing soon to report on his duties. By then, his position as a second-rank official will not be lost.

The guests sat or stood according to the rules. Chen Rong sat facing east and was presented with ropa and hairpins. Yue Wanshu stood behind Chen Rong holding a carved mahogany tray with an ebony inlaid with turquoise comb placed on it. Standing with Yue Wanshu was Yun Shutong.

At this time, Mrs. Yun, who was wearing a dignified dress, walked up to Chen Rong and smiled gently at her: "Rong'er."

"Auntie." Chen Rong called in a low voice.

Mrs. Yun nodded her jaw slightly and recited the congratulatory message loudly, "On the auspicious day of the month, I will start to add Yuan clothes. Give up your young ambitions, follow them and become virtuous. Your longevity will be good, and you will be blessed."

After Mrs. Yun finished reading, she took off the hair accessories on Chen Rong's head, spread her satin-like black hair down, and took a toothpick to gently comb her hair.

Chen Rongguai lowered her head. This ceremony was both solemn and tender. As she combed her hair again and again, she slowly accepted the fact that she was an adult.

The guests on the side either smiled or looked seriously at this orderly ceremony. Everyone's eyes were attracted to the girl kneeling at the table.

The little girl is sitting elegantly, her long and lush hair is naturally spread, with a hazy golden arc, her fair skin, dark eyebrows, and full red lips, she is breathtakingly beautiful.

As her hair was slowly combed up, a section of her white and delicate neck was exposed from behind. Her quiet and bowed posture made the slender lines become more soft and soft, yet appeared so fragile.

Beautiful things are always fragile and vulnerable.

Ji Yuxian stood not far away, his appreciative and loving eyes seemed to be looking at his lifelong lover.

When will I be able to stand beside her with dignity and peace of mind?

Everything was arranged very compactly, and the maids quickly changed her into a second set of plain clothes and skirt, and took her out of the east room.

In the main hall of the front yard, under the attention of all the guests, Chen Rong finished changing and entered the banquet for the second time. He bowed to his parents in ceremony and expressed his gratitude for their upbringing.

After adding hairdos for the second time, she was seduced by Aunt Zhong.

Aunt Zhong brought a cup of warm rock sugar snow swallow and asked her to drink it. After that, Cuizhu helped her put on a dark dress with phoenix flowers and thick skirts, and her thin cloud sleeves were gathered up. She walked heavily Was taken out again.

Next, we bowed to the guest of honor twice to show our respect for our teachers and seniors.

After adding hairpins three times, a minister presented him with a hairpin crown. Mrs. Yun, Mrs. Wen, took it and once again sang a congratulatory message, "With the blessing of the year and the order of the month, Xianjia will serve. Brothers are all here to achieve great virtue. Huang Zang has no boundaries. Celebrated by Heaven.”

After saying this, Mrs. Wen removed her hairpin and added a hairpin crown for her again. A "Ceremony" called her attention back.

The banquet ceremony for hair extensions was complicated. After adding hair extensions three times, she went back to the house to change into her third dress.

Wearing this last long-sleeved dress signifies that she has transformed from a young girl into a woman who can be a wife.

It took a long time to add haircut three times, and Chen Rong was a little tired.

I thought to myself, it's almost over, it's almost over, hold on a little longer.

When she came to the main hall wearing a long-sleeved dress with blooming flowers and an impressive look of nobility, she was numb to the astonishing looks around her, but this wave was really fierce, and she had to lower her eyes and hide away. Open everyone's eyes.

The two brothers Chen Zhao and Chen An looked at each other and then looked at their sister at the table. They saw the fair-skinned girl standing up with the help of two maids. She had her hair pulled into a bun, using only a water head. Excellent jade hairpin. A gorgeous three-layer dress made her look dignified and gentle.

She bowed and thanked the guests, with a soft smile on her cheeks, which made people feel soft and open in their heart.

Chen Zhao had mixed feelings and realized once again that his little sister had grown up and turned into a graceful lady. And be snatched away from him at any time and become someone else's wife

No matter how the brothers lamented, the hairpin banquet has reached the final stage, when Chen Rong, the girl from the Chen family, expressed her gratitude to all the guests present.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Rong.

Chen Rong performed the formal etiquette that he had practiced several times before. Unexpectedly, his eyes briefly met Ji Yuxian not far away. Ji Yuxian looked at her and smiled.

His smile was so bright that it immediately eclipsed all the handsome men and women beside him.

Chen Rong couldn't help but grit his teeth: Humph! What a monster!

This small interaction between the two was inconspicuous, but it was difficult for Yue Aoting, who was sitting next to Ji Yuxian, not to notice.

Yue Aoting originally wanted to pursue Chen Rong, but since the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, he knew that he had lost the chance to pursue Chen Rong.

Good brothers are not here to steal women. Since his cousin likes her, he can only hide his thoughts and pretend to be nothing. He puts up his long sleeves to cover the jewelry box in his hands. He cannot give it to Chen in public. The only thing I can do is give it to her quietly.

Next, the haircut ceremony came to an end. After Chen Rong drank the adult ceremony wine, the ceremony officially ended.

It is said that except for those who are interested in their own son-in-law, most of the people who participate in the wedding banquet are doing it for business relationships and taking advantage of the opportunity.

After the ceremony was completed, it was time for the guests to send congratulatory gifts. Everyone came forward to congratulate Chen Rong and send them congratulatory gifts.

Chen Zhao and Chen An's congratulatory gifts were given to their sister Chen Rong when they visited the East Market a few months ago. The brothers knew that there were many people giving gifts to their sister today, so they did not join in the fun.

Chen Rong: It’s really tiring to hold hair extensions, but I’m still very happy now that I’m an adult and no longer a little girl.

Chen Zhao: I am happy - my sister has finally grown up and become a big girl.

Uncomfortable: When he grows up, his sister will be snatched away from him at any time and become someone else’s wife.

Chen An: Yes, I’m not happy.

Xiao Zi: Whether it’s your sister or your daughter, one day she will grow up and leave you. Marry and have children.
