Rebirth in a prosperous world

Chapter 161 Coming of Age Ceremony (3)
How could Gu Yan have an opinion?Just like what Elder Sui said, although he is not close to his grandfather, he is closer than his relatives.It's not that she doesn't have her grandparents, but those two people don't have the slightest affection for her. Many times, they even wish they could live without her as their granddaughter.In comparison, the old man in front of him is really worthy of the title "grandfather".

No matter in the previous life or in this life, the old man's help and support to him is beyond words.

"Grandpa." Gu Yan used actions instead of answers.She raised the corner of her skirt, knelt down in front of Elder Sui, and respectfully kowtowed three times: "Although you are not my own grandfather, you are even closer than my own grandfather and protect me. If you don't mind , you are my grandfather."

Old Man Sui was startled, apparently he did not expect Gu Yan to say such a thing.Don't start after you come to your senses, you don't want others to see the expression on your face, and you are still muttering in a rough voice: "Really, I don't know where I learned it, I just know how to fool you with sweet words. I am an old man. Come on, get up, and take your granddaughter for today's birthday."

Gu Yan was overjoyed, and kowtowed three times respectfully: "Grandpa, I wish you good health and a long life."

After bowing down to parents and elders, thank relatives and friends present.

Gu Yan always had a bright smile on his face, even when he was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears, that smile never disappeared.

The end of the coming-of-age ceremony was presided over by Elder Sui.

He stood in the crowd leaning on a cane, looked at the immature girl in front of him, and said with a sullen face, "Little girl, from today onwards you are an adult. From now on, you are no longer a child. Take on the responsibilities and obligations of an adult. Respect teachers, honor parents and elders, and be kind to friends.”

"Yes, Grandpa, I will." Gu Yan nodded seriously.

"Don't just talk nicely, it mainly depends on how you do it. I will keep an eye on you in the future. Well, for the sake of calling me grandpa today, I will give you my gift. Seriously speaking, This is not a gift from me, it is just kept by me, and it was prepared for you by that old guy, your pro-grandfather."

As Old Master Sui said, he took a stack of documents from his grandson Sui Wenyu, who had been prepared for a long time, stepped forward on crutches and placed them in Gu Yan's hand: "You and An'an are the most important treasures of that old guy. Wen Jian is his life's painstaking effort, starting from today, Wen Jian will be handed over to you. This is something that the old guy gave me to keep before he passed away. It has been more than ten years, and now, it is finally returned to Zhao."

Others may not know what those documents represent, but Gu Yan does.She never doubted that Elder Sui would withhold those things and not give them to her, but she never thought it would be so soon.

The few pages of paper in my hand became extremely heavy.

Is this not just Wenjian 45? ? ?The identity is not only the brotherhood of the two old people for decades, but also a symbol of the sincere character of an old man.

Holding this heavy friendship, Gu Yan couldn't say anything, no amount of thanks would become exaggerated and artificial.She just bowed deeply to the old man in front of her: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your and grandpa's expectations."

After the antique coming-of-age ceremony, everyone went to change the Hanfu on their bodies.The chefs had already prepared delicious food, and a group of people sat at a table and had a happy reunion dinner.

After the meal, the elderly Sui and the weak mother Gu were sent to rest first.Except for Tai Zhong, the rest are all young people.

"Brother Wei, Brother Qin, Brother He, thank you." Among these people, the three good brothers of Lou Zhen surprised Gu Yan the most.If it is said that the other people came out of affection and courtesy, then the friendship between these three people who came all the way here is really serious enough to make Gu Yan flattered.

Seriously speaking, except for Wei Hanrong, she only met Qin Su and He Feng once.The only thing they know about each other is that they are good brothers who grew up together with Lou Zhen.Others, there is really no friendship.

"Xiao Yan, are you being polite? What's the relationship between us? We and Ah Zhen are brothers closer than real brothers. How could we not participate in such an important occasion?" Wei Hanrong first expressed his dissatisfaction, and he laughed. He joked a few times, and did not tell the inside story that he was invited by a certain man intimidating and luring him out of face.

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to come, but he just felt that he didn't know Gu Yan very well, so it would be a bit abrupt and embarrassing to take the liberty to come to this kind of internal gathering of relatives.But fortunately, now it seems that these are all his thoughts, and the people on Gu Yan's side welcome them very much.It is also a warm welcome to see them taking the liberty to participate without being invited.

What he didn't know was that Gu Yan had a cold temper since she was a child, and she didn't have many people close to her, and her friends were almost zero.Coupled with the thinness of the Gu family, Yan Chuandong and the others were worried that there were too few adult ceremonies and deserted.The arrival of Wei Hanrong and the others was simply a matter of resolute urgent need.Being able to come here at this time, regardless of the closeness of the relationship, this matter itself is a very important friendship.So the Gu family would not be angry or object at all, on the contrary, they were even a little ecstatic.

Gu Yan thoughtfully glanced at the silent man next to him, and when she turned her head, her smile was still bright: "No matter what, I'm really happy that you can come, and even a little flattered."

She said, couldn't help laughing: "Actually, I have been flattered since this morning. I never thought that this kind of thing would happen. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I couldn't believe that I have such a A grand coming-of-age ceremony."

Looking at Gu Yan who was so happy, Yan Chuandong felt a little distressed at the side.In fact, they didn't intend to hold Gu Yan's birthday party in this way at first.

As Gu Yan, he should have held a grand banquet that attracted the attention of thousands of people. It should have been a magnificent banquet hall with crystal chandeliers. It should have waiters wearing uniforms. Dressed up like a noble princess, held hands by dearest parents, complete the ceremony in the eyes of everyone.Not like now, in a distant country, in an empty garden, attended by such a few lonely people.

For Gu Yan, this is a rite of passage full of love and care, but in the eyes of those who care about her, it is unqualified.She should have better.

He is obviously not the only one who has Yan Chuandong's mood.Lou Zhen, who had been standing aside in silence with a blank face, immediately held her hand tightly in his palm after hearing her words.

Between Gu Yan and Lou Zhen, there is an unspeakable tacit understanding that outsiders cannot feel.In many cases, they don't even need to speak, and they can guess what the other person is thinking with just a small movement or look.
