Liu Yingying said to everyone with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yueli, Su Ziqing and others also smiled and replied: "Okay."
It was on this day that Liu Yingying seemed to finally break into the Shen family's team. Unfortunately, it was her last day here.
"Okay, it's not time to say goodbye yet. Look, everyone is feeling sad. Today is a happy day for everyone. Don't let anyone droop their faces. Everyone is here for me today. laugh it out."
In the end, it was Shen Yuechan who came out to preside over the overall situation, reignited the atmosphere, and began to walk through the process of her banquet: "Now that the auspicious time has arrived, and the protagonists are all here, then Then go and invite Grandma and Mrs. Wu to come and watch the ceremony."
As he was talking, he thought of something and suddenly said: "By the way, my eldest brother's birthday is tomorrow. My eldest brother never holds birthday banquets. In order to invite him to come over and have a fun time, I said that his birthday banquet will be held tomorrow." It’s all set today, I wonder if big brother will come today?”
Shen Yuechan suddenly muttered softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yingying lowered her eyes and pretended that she had not heard anything.
Mi Ya'er glanced in Liu Yingying's direction but said nothing.
Soon Shen Yuechan dropped the topic and was about to send someone to Shou'an Hall to invite Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Wu.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Wu arrived at the other end, accompanied by the second wife, Mrs. Su, the third wife, Mrs. Mu, and the sixth wife, Mrs. .
Then, Shen Ye led all the brothers from the Shen family to come over.
The so-called haircut ceremony is a woman's coming-of-age ceremony.
If in this family, if the woman is of high status, a more grand ceremony will be held in the ancestral hall, and a group of guests will be invited to watch the ceremony. This ceremony can be said to be the most important day for a woman besides the wedding.
However, Liu Yingying is now a Hakka, so she has omitted a lot of red tape and simplified it to combing her hair and adding hairpins to those who have hairpins.
I saw guests from the Shen family sitting down at the banquet. Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Wu each sat on top of the seats. An old mother carried a washbasin. After Liu Yingying washed her hands, a nanny placed a futon in the high hall. Next, Liu Yingying slowly knelt down under the futon in front of everyone. Then, a palace nun personally invited by the old lady came forward and was about to add hairdos to Liu Yingying's hair. At this time, she suddenly... I heard a burst of noise from all around.
Immediately afterwards, someone announced in the distance: "The eldest son has arrived."
Everyone rushed to look at the voice, and saw that Shen eldest son Shen Lang, who had always rarely appeared, had made a rare appearance.
Seeing Shen Lang's appearance, there was a moment of silence on the originally bustling table.
Even the nanny who was about to give Liu Yingying hair extensions was slightly interrupted by his sudden visit.
Shen Yuechan was still the happiest. He immediately stood up and said to the maid: "Hurry and set up a seat for eldest brother."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Lang walking slowly with his hands behind his back without stopping. He glanced directly at the hands of the teacher, and then said lightly: "Don't stop, continue."
At this time, the maid set a seat for Shen Lang in the most distinguished position below Mrs. Shen.
Shen Lang did not refuse, and walked towards the seat with his hands behind his back. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, he suddenly heard someone in the distance continuing to preach: "Ms. Zheng is here——"
Chapter 153
Everyone looked again, and saw a maid in the distance leading an elegant and dignified figure walking towards her. When they got closer and saw the face clearly, they saw that it was Zheng Xueyun, the daughter of the Duke of Guo.
The Shen family did not invite outsiders to watch the ceremony today, and due to the strange situation in the court recently, the Shen family suffered an unprecedented assassination at Hanshan Temple a few months ago. Many incidents happened simultaneously. Now the entire Qingyuan City is undergoing great changes, and the Shen family is even more... It was closing the door to thank guests, so everyone was a little surprised to see Zheng Xueyun's visit this time.
However, the Shen and Zheng families are quite close, and Zheng Xueyun has a good relationship with several girls from the Shen family. Therefore, when she saw Zheng Xueyun visiting this time, Shen Yuechan quickly greeted her and said, " Why are you here? I don't want anyone to inform you in advance, so I can go ahead and greet you personally."
The banquet organized by Shen Yuechan himself became more and more prosperous the more people came to support it.
She instantly transformed into a little hostess, welcoming guests warmly and politely.
Then Zheng Xueyun said with a smile: "I heard that today is a big gift from Sister Liu. After all, we have met each other. How could I not come to congratulate you in person? So I couldn't help but invite myself."
As he spoke, he was about to step forward to congratulate Liu Yingying on her birthday and to greet several senior Shen parents in the distance, but at this moment, Shen Yuechan was attracted by the charming figure behind Zheng Xueyun and said: "Hey, Xueyun Sister, this distinguished guest is——"
When Shen Yuechan raised his eyes, the figure behind Zheng Xueyun slowly raised his eyes and looked over. When their eyes met, Shen Yuechan's words were stuck in his throat, and his eyes suddenly widened, as if... I saw something unbelievable and was stunned for a moment.
You must know that Shen Yuechan is the legitimate daughter of the eldest son of the Shen family. She is used to seeing the world and is rarely rude like this. However, with her charming appearance, she took the lead in blessing her body and greeted her with a smile. : "Nishang has met Miss Shen."
The voice is soft and affectionate, and it is particularly pleasant to hear.
Shen Yue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses, but she immediately turned her head and looked in the direction of the worshiping figure in the center of the ceremony.
His eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, with surprises on their faces.
Liu Yingying realized something, and the figure kneeling on the futon could not help but slowly turned around.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but rush to look, and then saw a woman following Zheng Xueyun. The woman was wearing a veil, her face could not be seen, and she was wearing a smoky green skirt. The robe is added to the body, and the figure is graceful and graceful. Both in body shape and appearance, she is somewhat similar to Liu Yingying, who has always been simple and elegant and likes green skirts and robes.
And when his eyes fell on the man's eyebrows and eyes, which were the only ones exposed outside the veil, it was even more jaw-dropping and shocking.
I saw those clear eyes with longing, spring water in them, shining with hope, especially when they raised their eyes slightly to scan the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, I actually felt the gurgling spring water, enchanting, and suddenly Look, I actually thought it was Liu Yingying's clone appearing in the world.
They are almost identical to Liu Yingying, just like twin sisters.
Everyone was shocked.
Following Shen Yuechan's eyes, they all looked back and forth at Liu Yingying and that person, and then started talking and whispering to each other.
Even Mrs. Shen and others in the distance couldn't help but look at each other.
In the distance, Wu was also slightly surprised, and even couldn't help but cover her mouth for a while.
Even Shen Rong, Shen Ye and others on the seats were looking at him with their eyes narrowed or their eyebrows raised.
On the seats on both sides, Su Ziqing subconsciously looked at Liu Yingying's face, then turned his eyes and subconsciously looked at Yao Yulan on the side. This face was the one they used to see in Hanshan Temple. Saw it.
But she saw that Yao Yulan's mouth was slightly raised at the moment, with an expression on her face as if she was waiting for a good show to come on and watch the big show.
Su Ziqing rolled his eyes, and then frowned slightly.
"This is a guest that my second uncle specially invited back from Jiangnan. His name is Miss Nishang. She has been bored in the house these days. When my second uncle saw that I was going out today, he asked me to take Miss Nishang out for more walks. Move around——"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Yun Nishang, Zheng Xueyun introduced her to Shen Yuechang with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned and looked directly at the face of Liu Yingying, the only protagonist today on the futon. He smiled and congratulated her on her birthday: "I'm late. Fortunately, I caught up with my sister's gift. Congratulations to my sister."
Zheng Xueyun looked at Liu Yingying with a smile and said this. When he said this, his eyes were sharp for a moment, but it passed in the blink of an eye. Then he remembered something and suddenly leaned in front of Yun Nishang and whispered softly. After a while, he pointed at Liu Yingying and said: "This is Miss Liu I mentioned to you -"
After Shen Yuechan finished speaking, she saw Yun Nishang, who was wearing a veil, also bowed to Liu Yingying from afar, and smiled half-heartedly at Liu Yingying and said, "Miss Liu, I have long admired your name——"
Yun Nishang looked straight at Liu Yingying, her eyes curved as if she had something to say.
Liu Yingying and Yun Nishang looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths slowly froze on their faces. When their eyes glanced at Zheng Xueyun, whose smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, the hands on his waist and abdomen tugged hard, and his long nails sank into Into the skin and flesh.
Outside the verandah, the sun was rising high.
I don't know if the sun is too big, but Liu Yingying felt that there was a halo in front of her eyes for a moment.
Time was quiet at this moment.
Until I don't know how much time passed, I suddenly heard several deep and loud knocking sounds of "dong dong dong" sounding in the distance.
Only then did everyone suddenly react and all looked in the direction of the sound. Only then did they see Mr. Shen Lang, who was dressed in black clothes, slowly sitting down on the seat next to Mrs. Shen. At this moment, He was sitting in a high position with an indifferent expression, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, and his face was always majestic and cold. At this moment, his slender fingers were tapping low on the desk, and there was a faint hint of something on his majestic face. A look of impatience.
When Mrs. Shen saw this, she immediately coughed slightly, and then said with a smile: "Girl Yun, please take a seat quickly."
Then he said to Aunt Xi, "Let's accept the gift first, don't miss the opportunity."
Seeing Shen Lang's expression, everyone restrained themselves and did not dare to be presumptuous.
After hearing the old lady's instructions, everyone sat down and began to watch Liu Yingying's hairpin ceremony seriously.
"On the auspicious day of the month, you will start to add Yuanfu. Abandon your young aspirations, follow you and become virtuous. The test of longevity is only Qi, and you will be blessed."
By the way, under the high hall, Liu Yingying was kneeling on the futon.
The teacher took off the bun from Liu Yingying's head, and in an instant, three thousand green hairs poured down, scattering on her back like a thick black waterfall.
The warm sun poured in and hit Liu Yingying's face and eyebrows.
I saw that she was naked, with black hair and snow-skinned skin, but she was still stunningly beautiful.
Especially, at this moment, the breeze passed by, blowing up her black hair, and her hair and skirt were flying together. In an instant, everyone forgot about the mistake just now. At this moment, everyone's eyes were all focused. Staring at her face.
While the teacher was singing the lyrics, she raised the horn comb and combed it on her black hair.
Sitting on the front seat a few steps away, Shen Lang's cold phoenix eyes also fell motionless on her snow-like fat, staring at her intently.
I haven't shied away from it at all.
Mi Yaer on the side glanced at his face subconsciously.
When he raised his eyes again, he saw Yao Yulan staring at the majestic figure beside her on the table again, looking at it with a slightly dazed look. When he blinked again, he saw her again. His eyes fell on Liu Yingying who was receiving the gift. The corner of his mouth was slightly bitten for a while, and a hint of cruelty appeared in his eyes. Then, his eyes turned, and he suddenly looked at Zheng Xueyun across the crowd and smiled at each other.
Mi Ya'er felt that the expressions of these two people were a little strange, and when she was about to look again, she heard the teacher's nanny singing loudly: "The right crown, the crown and hairpin."
He was momentarily interrupted by the ceremony, and had no choice but to look in the direction of Liu Yingying, who was currently receiving the ceremony.
Hairpins and hairpins are all given by elders.
As soon as the teacher said this, Mrs. Wu immediately handed the phoenix hairpin that had been prepared to her maid Shutong. Shutong presented the phoenix hairpin on a tray. Mammy took the phoenix hairpin and put it on Liu Yingying's head. Preached to Liu Yingying: "Bye——"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yingying slowly stood up from the futon, put her hands on her chest, and bowed to Wu from afar.
When Wu saw this, her eyes immediately turned red, and she cried and laughed again and again: "Okay, okay, okay -"
Liu Yingying also had slightly red eyes, and she looked at Wu, and then smiled at each other. Unexpectedly, when she raised her eyes, her eyes unexpectedly collided with a certain line of sight from a high position.
I saw the other party's eyes were gentle, looking at Liu Yingying with deep and strong eyes, but there was a faint sense of satisfaction similar to that of a girl who has grown up.
When she met that gaze, Liu Yingying suddenly regained consciousness from her dazed expression.
The faint smile on her face faded and she looked away instantly.
Shen Lang looked at the other party's indifferent expression, recalled the scene where the two had a falling out that night, and immediately pursed his lips.
At this time, grandma sang again: "Added crown and hairpin."
This time, it was Mrs. Shen who personally gave the hairpin, and then the third wife gave it to her as well.
After three consecutive bows, the nanny sang again: "On the auspicious day of the month, I will start to add Yuanfu. Abandon your young aspirations, follow you and become virtuous. The test of longevity is only for Qi, and you will be blessed by Jingfu."
Then, he sang: "Get up——"
Finally, he sang loudly: "The ceremony is completed."
As soon as he finished speaking, he personally helped Liu Yingying to stand up, smiled and said to Liu Yingying: "Okay, congratulations to Miss Liu."
Liu Yingying saluted her grandma. After standing up, she put her hands in front of her belly. She saw her hair tied high on her temples and three red gold phoenix hairpins on her head. She was indescribably rich. She was also seen wearing a magenta dress and robe. Surrounded by gold hairpins, the whole person is bright and enchanting, and the light is so stunning that even the bright sun outside the verandah seems to be dimmed a bit.
However, compared to her previous flamboyant and seductive temperament, I don’t know if it’s because of everyone’s misunderstanding, but today’s Liu Yingying seems to have become a bit softer overnight. Her whole body is quiet and indifferent, exuding a touch of gentleness and softness. Weird temperament.
"She's a big girl now."
