Bai Yanqing is fifteen this year and has reached the age of hair extensions. Therefore, in addition to the ordinary birthday gifts, her birthday this year also includes the gift of hair extensions. And because of her current special situation, she was unable to return to the Bai Mansion. Therefore, under Bai Jingxuan's instructions, Bai Yanqing's hairpin ceremony was kept simple this year.
"Miss, it's almost time, it's time for you to change your clothes."
At some point, Mo Ran came over and called Bai Yanqing softly, reminding her that the auspicious time was coming.
Bai Yanqing agreed, and then followed Mo Ran back to the house.
On the bed in the inner room, there is a set of neatly folded clothes.
Bai Yanqing stepped forward and slowly sat in front of the dressing table. Looking at her thin and slightly frail face in the bronze mirror, Bai Yanqing didn't care at all.
Apply a thin layer of makeup and lightly tap on the red lips, and a face that was originally lifeless and slightly pale instantly becomes rosy and shiny!
There were loud gongs and drums outside, and inside, Mo Ran was dressing up with Bai Yanqing.
So many years have passed, and everywhere Bai Yanqing looked, he was filled with memories and familiarity.
Cai Xing's hands are very skillful. In the past, she was like this when she accompanied Bai Yanqing. Of the two of them, one was sitting and the other was standing, one was combing her hair carefully, and the other was lazily looking at the bronze mirror in a daze.
Now, although the appearance of the people around me has changed, their skills... have not lost at all!
Mo Ran's braided bun is very beautiful, and Mo Ran's hands are also very skillful.
Bai Yanqing sighed silently, stood up slowly, straightened her clothes, and then walked toward the main hall with Mo Ran. Before Bai Yanqing reached the main hall, she heard Bai Jingxuan's words coming from inside the house.
"Today's gift from Yan Qing, thank you to all your relatives and friends for coming!"
Bai Jingxuan's hearty voice was sonorous and powerful, and Bai Yanqing felt a little comforted in her heart. The steps under her feet also became steadier.
"The lady is here!"
Mo Ran shouted loudly, his voice startling everyone in the room.
For a moment, everyone stood up and looked towards the door.
Bai Yanqing came curling up, dressed in a dazzling dress. Her face, lightly painted with powder, was stunning.
Seeing Bai Yanqing coming, Bai Jingxuan hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. He stretched out his hand, took Bai Yanqing's fair and slender hand, and walked towards the house.
After Bai Yanqing entered the room, she first saluted everyone in the room one by one, and then she felt embarrassed and stood beside Bai Jingxuan again.
The complicated process of haircut ceremony made Bai Yanqing, who was already weak, somewhat overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility.
"Miss, how about you sit down and have a rest first?"
Sensing that Bai Yanqing's face seemed to be uncomfortable, Mo Ran asked quietly.
Bai Yanqing endured the discomfort and shook her head at Mo Ran. People all over the courtyard came here for her haircut gift, how could she ruin everyone's fun at this time?
I pay homage to my parents and express my gratitude for their kindness in giving birth to children. Because Ji Jinchu died young, Bai Yanqing only had to kneel down and worship Bai Jingxuan.
At this time, Yusi raised the tray with both hands and presented the ropa and hairpins.
Bai Furong slowly stepped forward, took the ropa and hairpins with both hands, and then carefully combed Bai Yanqing's hair and added hairpins. After getting her hair done, Bai Yanqing bowed and thanked her.
Second, pay homage to the elders to show respect and gratitude. Bai Yanqing was dressed in Cai Yi, facing the elders of the Bai family, straightening her body and bowing.
At this time, Yuji once again raised the tray with both hands and offered the hairpin.
Bai Furong also stepped forward again, took the hairpin, and then took off the hairpin for Bai Yanqing. Afterwards, Bai Yanqing knelt down respectfully. After Bai Furong put the hairpin on her hair again, Bai Yanqing thanked her and stood up!
Visit guests, relatives and friends three times to express your gratitude. The guests are mainly of the same generation, so Bai Yanqing only needs to perform common courtesy!
At that time, Yusi raised the tray with both hands for the last time and presented the hairpin crown.
Bai Jingxuan took the hairpin from the tray and walked to Bai Yanqing. He recited the congratulatory message loudly: "On the auspicious day of the month, it is the beginning of the Yuanfu. Abandoning your young aspirations, obeying you and becoming virtuous. The longevity test is only for Qi, and it is the blessing of Jingyou. The auspicious month and the day are for Shen'erfu. Respect you. Majesty, Shushende
. The eyebrows will live for thousands of years and will be blessed forever. The year is right and the month is the order. Xian Jiafu, brothers are here. To achieve great virtue, Huang Zang has no boundaries. Blessed by heaven! "
After all, this time, it was Yunqi who stepped forward! He took the hairpin from Bai Jingxuan, took off Bai Yanqing's hairpin with his own hands, and added a hairpin to Bai Yanqing!
Originally, it was the sisters or brothers in the family who should personally crown Bai Yanqing, but Bai Yanqing was an only daughter, so Yunqi volunteered to crown Bai Yanqing in the name of her prospective husband-in-law!
"My wife, you look so beautiful today!"
Yunqi looked at Bai Yanqing with deep eyes.
The eyes are wandering, the eyes are wandering, and the beauty is fairy-like. This Bai Yanqing looks nothing like her usual simple and elegant appearance!
Behind everyone's back, Bai Yanqing secretly glared at Yun Qi. At that glance, in Yunqi's eyes, he only felt that he was coquettish and endearing.
After three bows, Bai Yanqing's body was obviously overwhelmed, and her steps became more and more frivolous.
Mo Ran stepped forward, supported Bai Yanqing, and then whispered in Bai Yanqing's ear: "Miss, if you are tired, just lean against the slave and rest for a while. This dress is wide. If you lean against the slave, others won't be able to tell."
Bai Yanqing glanced at Mo Ran gratefully, then leaned slightly, leaning against Mo Ran, and breathed quietly.
"Wine!"
Bai Jingxuan's voice sounded again.
At this moment, a priest served the wine and raised his hands above his head. Bai Jingxuan took the wine and walked to Bai Yanqing.
"The sweet and sweet wine is thick, and it is recommended and fragrant. Worship and sacrifice it to determine your good fortune. I will bear the end of heaven and never forget the test of longevity."
After the congratulations, Bai Yanqing bent down to salute, and respectfully took the wine with both hands. Then, Bai Yanqing turned around, faced the guests, picked up the wine glass, touched it to her lips, took a symbolic sip, and then placed the wine glass on the table.
At this time, Yousi served rice again, and Bai Yanqing took the bowl, opened his mouth again, and took a symbolic bite. Then, Bai Yanqing stood up and sat down at the table to eat with everyone.
After the meal, Bai Yanqing bowed to thank all the guests, and the ceremony was considered complete.
The long and complicated haircut ceremony exhausted Bai Yanqing's energy. After everyone dispersed, she, accompanied by Mo Ran, took off her hairpin, took off her gorgeous clothes, and put on light clothes.
"Yan Qing!"
At that time, all the guests had dispersed, but Bai Jingxuan was not in a hurry to leave.
"Father!"
Bai Yanqing stepped forward and saluted Bai Jingxuan respectfully.
"Sit down and rest! You must be tired today!"
Seeing that Bai Yanqing's expression was not good, Bai Jingxuan felt a little distressed, so he quickly asked Mo Ran to help her sit down.
"Today is your birthday. As a father, I have nothing to give you. These... were the things your mother gave you during her lifetime. She always told me that she would leave these to you! Now that you have grown up, these , it’s time to give it to you!”
Bai Jingxuan asked the boy who was following behind him to bring a wooden box.
The wooden box looked like it was old, and it had been polished to a shiny surface. Come to think of it... Bai Jingxuan rubbed it frequently on weekdays!
Bai Yanqing took the wooden box and opened it carefully.
Inside the ordinary wooden box, there was a complete set of jewelry neatly placed! Every piece of jewelry is priceless!
"this……"
Bai Yanqing was a little stunned. There were so many jewelry, any one of them was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away!
"This is the dowry your mother left for you."
Bai Jingxuan explained again.
dowry?
That's right, Bai Yanqing is also a married woman now, so she should have prepared her dowry as early as possible!
"Yan Qing!"
There was another call, and Bai Yanqing immediately raised her head and greeted him with a smile.
"Aunt! Aunt!"
Bai Furong and Li Qinru came together.
"We don't have any other good things to give you. These are the wishes of my aunt and uncle."
Bai Furong and Li Qinru took out a package one after another. Seeing this posture, Bai Yanqing was shocked!
Under the signal from Bai Furong's eyes, Bai Yanqing reached out to take the bundle, put it on the table, and asked Mo Ran to open it. Inside the bundle were two brand new dresses. Inside a baggage are some exquisite jewelry!
Cut from the finest brocade, even the skirt is hemmed with gold and silver threads! Ordinary people, even if they save their whole life's money, can't afford such a set of clothes!
These jewelry are well made, and even one pearl inlaid on them can last an ordinary person half a lifetime!
"Aunt, aunt, you gave Yan Qing such an expensive gift! Yan Qing deserves it!"
Bai Yanqing said a little embarrassedly. She asked Mo Ran to tie the package again and prepare to hand it back to Bai Furong and Li Qinru!
"We think such a gift is too light! If you don't accept it, we won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Li Qinru shook Bai Yanqing's hand and joked with a smile. She really likes Bai Yanqing. She heard her son say that the dagger Bai Yanqing gave to Bai Junzhi before could not be found in the entire Chen Kingdom!
Bai Yanqing was willing to give such a rare treasure to Bai Junzhi. Now, Li Qinru just gave Bai Yanqing some personal belongings! What is there to be reluctant to part with?
"That's all, then Yan Qing will accept it shamelessly!"
Bai Yanqing waved her hand and asked Mo Ran to collect the things.
What Bai Yanqing was thinking was that when Lai Bizhi got married in the future, she would just give Lai Bizhi more dowry! As for Bai Junzhi, all Bai Yanqing can think of is to pave the way for him so that he can realize his great ambitions!
"It's getting late, let's go back home first. Take care of yourself, Yan Qing! We'll see you again in a few days!"
Bai Furong patted the back of Bai Yanqing's hand, then turned around and left with Li Qinru.
When Bai Jingxuan saw this, he also stood up. After exchanging a few words with Bai Yanqing, he also left!
"Moran, help me up, I'm going to see my father and aunt off!"
Hearing this, Mo Ran quickly stretched out his hand and helped Bai Yanqing up. After being tired all day, Bai Yanqing's legs were already sore and weak, and it was difficult to get up on her own!
When Bai Yanqing walked to the gate of the courtyard, Bai Furong and the others had just gotten on the carriage.
"Sister Qing!"
Bai Junzhi lifted the car curtain and waved excitedly to Bai Yanqing. Bai Yanqing also happily raised her arms and waved to Bai Junzhi.
"Sister, my business..."
Lai Bizhi lay down by the window of the carriage and glanced shyly. Yuan Ziyue was in the distance and spoke with an expression of embarrassment. qδ
"Don't worry, sister, if he doesn't obey, I will tie him back and throw him to you!"
Bai Yanqing replied with a smile.
"Then...it's not necessary. If he really doesn't want to, my sister shouldn't force him!"
Lai Bizhi frowned at this moment, looking like she was reluctant to leave.
"Yuan Li, call your brother over!"
Bai Yanqing tilted her head and shouted to Yuan Li. Yuan Li got the order and hurriedly ran to call Yuan Ziyue over!
"Ziyue, you see clearly, this is my sister! If you misjudge someone and enter the wrong bridal chamber in the future, I will not forgive you!"
Yuan Ziyue was pulled over by Yuan Li and was still a little confused. When he heard Bai Yanqing say this, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back! When he figured out the situation before him, he looked up and saw Lai Bizhi's sad eyes!
Yuan Ziyue's thoughts moved slightly, but there was no emotion on his face!
"Miss Bai, please don't make fun of me!"
Yuan Ziyue had no expression on his face and spoke coldly.
Seeing this, Bai Yanqing no longer forced him, and just said lightly: "Since Ziyue has no interest in my sister, then... I will find a good husband for my sister later! We don't want such a cold-hearted person. Let him die!"
After that, Bai Yanqing raised her foot and kicked the horse's leg. The horse roared in pain, and then galloped away with the carriage!
