Farmer's happy event

Chapter 250
On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sun shines all over, and the golden light shines down, casting a layer of warm color on everything in the world.

In the small courtyard of Liu's family, it was indescribably lively at this moment.

I saw that in the main room of Lianzi's house, a roomful of people were crowded, either standing or sitting.

At the entrance of the hall, on the east side stood Liu Jingren and Yang's couple, warmly greeting the guests who were still coming.These guests are actually the elders and nephews of the Liu family.Lianzi and Ji, as members of the same family, are bound to come to watch the ceremony.

On the west side of the door of the hall, Mrs. Li stands, holding a red lacquered tray in his hand, which contains hairpins and clothes.

Even if Lianzi doesn't like her anymore, she can't erase the fact that she is an aunt. Today and Jiji, she originally wanted the third aunt to act as the secretary, but Naihe said that after all, Mrs. Li is the elder sister-in-law. If she passes her, I'm afraid It will look bad.

At this time, Lianzi was sitting in the east room, accompanied by Lizi.Last year when the chestnuts reached the ji, the lotus seeds were the praisers. When the lotus seeds reach the ji this year, the praises will naturally be the chestnuts.

Lianzi is wearing an apricot-colored homemade half-worn skirt with flowers today, on top of which is a waist-length short skirt with pink embroidery, and a pink cross-collar jacket over it.As usual, with a double bun on her head, and a light powder on her face, she looks like a willow newly bloomed in March, bright and moving
After a while, Mrs. Shen also arrived.She is today's official guest, and after she arrives, the Jiji ceremony can begin.

Liu Jingren and Yang Shi first bowed to each other with Shen Shi, and then led Shen Shi to sit on a big boxwood carved chair in the middle of the main room.

After the principal guest sat down, the other guests also sat down. Finally, Liu Jingren and Yang Shi took the host seats.

Seeing so many people sitting in the room, Liu Jingren felt a little uncomfortable, but he had presided over the wedding ceremony of the first three daughters in his head, and this was the last one. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little sad.

The room was silent, waiting for him to speak.

"Today, the little girl Lianzi is going to come of age, thank all the elders and brothers for coming." He said this, and then said to Xing'er who was standing at the door, "Let Lianzi come in to meet the elders and friends."

Xing'er heard this and hurried to Dongjian to inform Lianzi.

Lianzi walked out of the east room, followed by Xing'er, and Lizi walked in front.After entering the main room, Li Zi came out first, washed his hands in the basin by the door, and stood with Xing'er on the west side of the main room door.After Lianzi came in, she stood facing south, bowed to all the people sitting in the room, and then knelt and sat on the seat facing west.At this moment, Chestnut came forward to comb her hair, and then put the comb on the south side of the mat.

After everything was ready, Shen got up and washed her hands in the basin, accompanied by Liu Jingren and Yang.After washing and drying their hands, Shen Shi, Liu Jingren and Yang Shi exchanged salutes, and then returned to their seats.

Although the Jiji ceremony of the three older sisters above was also like this, she still felt that it was too cumbersome.

This ceremony is equivalent to the modern coming-of-age ceremony, but the coming-of-age ceremony is much simpler.

Lianzi turned to sit eastward, and saw Mrs. Li coming over with a tray, offering ropas and hairpins.

Mrs. Shen got up, walked to Lianzi, and chanted her congratulations loudly: "On the auspicious day of the lunar month, I will start to add yuan clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, follow your success and become a virtue. Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu."

In fact, she herself didn't understand the meaning of these words, but she just followed what was passed down from generation to generation.She can also guess roughly, it should be admonishing Jiji's girl, telling her that she is no longer a child, and that she must be virtuous from now on.

After reading the scriptures, Shen knelt down on the mat where Lianzi was kneeling, combed Lianzi's hair, picked up a hairpin from the tray Li Shi was holding, and put it on her head.Then stand up and return to the original position.

Lizi stared at Lianzi with a smile, then looked at the hairpin on her head that Shen had just added, stretched out her hand to help her up, and symbolically straightened the hairpin.

Lianzi just got up, and after listening to Mr. Liu, the most senior person in the room, admonishing her on behalf of all the spectators, she went back to the east room.

Li Zi took the clothes from the tray in Yang's hand, accompanied Lian Zi back to Dongjian, and helped her change.

This is a set of plain clothes and skirts, which Lizi specially made for Lianzi a few days ago.The pure white embroidered skirt and a wide light purple belt trimmed the waist, outlining Lianzi's slim figure.It was covered with a purple wide-sleeved beige, and only complicated cloud patterns were embroidered on the cuffs.The whole dress looks elegant yet luxurious.

"Is this okay?" Lianzi looked at Lizi and asked.

She is used to being plain and clean on weekdays, and this is really the first time she wears such ostentatious clothes.

"Okay, okay, you don't even believe in my craftsmanship?" Li Zi laughed.

Lianzi snickered and said no more.

After leaving the east room wearing a skirt, Lianzi, accompanied by Lizi, went back to the main room.

She faced Liu Jingren and Yang Shi, and performed formal salutes, expressing her gratitude to her parents for their upbringing.

Afterwards, Lianzi sat facing Dongzheng again, and Shen washed her hands again and reset herself.Mrs. Li presented the hairpin, Mrs. Yang took it, walked up to Lianzi, and chanted a congratulatory speech loudly: "The auspicious moon and the day, it is Shen Erfu. Respect Er's majesty, Shu Shende. My eyebrows live forever, and I will receive them forever." Hu Fu."

At this time, the chestnuts removed the sticks that had just been added for the lotus seeds.

Shen Shi also knelt down on the mat, put hairpins on the lotus seed hairpin, and got up to reset herself.

Lizi then helped Lianzi get her hair straightened in a symbolic way. Afterwards, Lianzi went back to the east room. Lizi still took the clothes from the tray that Mrs. Li was holding and helped her put them on.

This time, it was a set of deep clothes with a curved train.

Although Qufu Shenyi is not worn much now, it has been passed down to this day as a dress.

This set of clothes is not made of chestnuts, because this kind of clothes cannot be worn in daily life, so they are all borrowed from others.

After changing her clothes, Lianzi went back to the main room.Then she faced Shen's and performed a formal salute.This is the second worship, showing respect to teachers and elders.

Lianzi had seen the wedding ceremony of her three sisters before, although she felt that it was very cumbersome now, she knew that the ceremony was only halfway through.

She sighed in her heart, and sat facing Dongzheng again.

Shen repeated the previous process, and this time sang: "With the righteousness of the year, with the order of the month, Xianjiaer obeys. Brothers exist, so that Juede can be achieved. The yellow scorpion has no boundaries, and it is celebrated by the sky."

Afterwards, Li Zi took off the hairpin on Lianzi's head, and Mrs. Shen added a hairpin crown for her, and got up to reset herself.After Lizi symbolically helped Lianzi crown her crown, she took the clothes from Mrs. Li, went back to the east room, and changed into a dress with long sleeves and long skirts that matched the Futou on her head.

After returning to the main room, Mrs. Li had already removed the decorations for the ceremony, and set up a wine and wine banquet on the west side of the main room door.Lianzi entered the banquet with Mrs. Shen, and stood on the west side of the banquet, facing south.

Shen Shi faced the west, Li Zi served the wine, Lian Zi followed the instructions in advance, and turned to the north.

Shen took the wine from the chestnut, walked to the table, faced the lotus seeds, and recited the congratulatory speech: "Sweet and sweet wine are thick, and I recommend you to make them fragrant. Worship and sacrifice to determine your auspiciousness. The rest of the sky, the test of longevity forget."

Afterwards, Lianzi saluted, took the wine, knelt down and sprinkled some wine on the ground as sacrificial wine.Then hold the wine to symbolically touch your lips, and then put the wine on the table.After all these were done, Li Zi served the rice, Lian Zi took it and ate a little symbolically.

Then, thank you to Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Shen replied.

After doing all this, Lianzi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was almost done.

Kneeling in front of her parents, Lianzi listened to Liu Jingren and Yang's teachings.Listening to it today, Liu Jingren's usual honest and honest voice was a little nervous and excited.It's just an ordinary teaching, but at this moment Lianzi heard it, but she felt very touched in her heart.

"I remember it." Lianzi bowed down after Liu Jingren finished speaking.

Lianzi got up again, and saluted all the participants present to express her gratitude.

After packing the luggage, Lianzi went to stand beside her parents.

Liu Jingren said again: "Little girl Lianzi Lianzi ceremony has been completed, thank you elders and brothers for your kind participation."

After saying this, he, together with Lianzi, bowed to the audience to express his gratitude.

In this way, Lianzi's Jiji ceremony is considered complete.

After sending the relatives of the family out, Lianzi returned to the main room with her family.

She was still wearing a gown, which was so heavy that it was uncomfortable, Lianzi's first feeling was to take off the gown quickly.

"It's time for Ji this time, our child is so good, the second sister-in-law will just wait for someone who proposes marriage to step on the threshold of your family." Xing'er joked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang said with a smile: "I don't want her to marry someone from a rich family, I just want to find someone who knows how to live in peace and happiness, and that's enough."

When Mrs. Li on the side heard what Mrs. Yang said, she began to feel a little offended.

At the beginning, she thought her daughter was good-looking, so she forced her to be a concubine in those rich families. At first, she had a good life, but gradually, she didn't feel that way in her heart.

The gifts sent by the Ning family during the festivals are getting thinner and more shameful every year.

Mrs. Li knew that although the Ning family had changed their head, not only did it not affect the family's business, but it was getting better and better. Then, if the New Year's ceremony was made like this, she would understand that it must have been negligent.As for how the girl is doing there, one can imagine.

Now Mrs. Li is thinking about it, and she hopes that Maizi can live up to her expectations and be favored again, so that her life will be better, and she won't have to hide it anymore, for fear of being seen as a joke.

After the Jiji ceremony was over, it was almost noon, Yang Shi and Xing'er went directly to the kitchen to prepare lunch, leaving the whole family to eat together.

Now it was almost the end of the year, after Lianzi and Lizi came back with Yang, they planned to wait here until the end of the year before leaving.

Li Zi knew that he had to come back early, so he deliberately arranged a time and rushed out the order on hand, so he came back with peace of mind.

Lianzi has the habit of sleeping during breaks, so after lunch, she talked to her parents for a while, yawned a few times, and then went back to the Westinghouse to take a nap.

She held an ebony lotus hairpin in her hand, staring intently with her eyes, with a smile on her face that she didn't even notice.

This hairpin was given to her by Su Keyan when she came back from the south. Over the years, she often took it out to look at it, and now it is finally in use.

Lianzi took off the hairpin crown on her head, broke up her bun, and tied it again with a hairpin.
