Chapter 186: The Ritual of Jiji
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Wang and his younger brothers to come here in person, please invite them inside! Zhuo Jing greeted him in the backyard, so brothers and sisters can go find her!"
"The Ji family has a daughter who has grown up for the first time. My brother's daughter has grown up from today. I have to repair the threshold of the family. If it is broken by the matchmakers who come to propose marriage, it would be a shame for everyone!"
The old man couldn't help but quips as he looked at Ge He who was standing outside the mansion to greet the guests. The two of them were familiar with each other and they didn't speak so well.
"That's right, don't look at whose daughter it is!"
Ji Hu had a stinky face and was full of pride! The people who saw him shook their heads and looked at his body and strong muscles that were higher than ordinary people. The people who were familiar with it were a little lucky. Fortunately, his daughter was not like him. Otherwise, let alone the threshold was broken, it would be a problem whether there was a matchmaker coming to the door!
This is definitely not a joke!
The autumn is bright and cool, and it is a good time of the year. The sun shines everywhere, reflecting people's smiling faces, adding a touch of vitality to this autumn day.
Ji Hu's back garden is surrounded by many well-dressed ladies and ladies. Although Ji's mansion is a little lonely because of Ji Qing's dismissal, he has been in the court for many years and has some connections. At this time, the back garden is full of joy and people are waiting.
Today is the day for the daughter of the Ji family and the thirteenth family. In ancient times, women who were fifteenth and thirst were adults, so they could start talking about marriage. Of course, some people were anxious to wait for the fruit to mature, so they only picked green apples and waited for the thirst to quench their hunger and thirst. The typical representative was Li Shimin, who was in the throne at this time, dragged the person into the bridal chamber when Empress Changsun was still a thirteen-year-old child.
Now, the daughter of the Ji family is fifteen years old, but she has not gotten married. Of course, well-informed people still know that this daughter used to have a marriage, but the man suddenly changed his mind and became a monk. This has to make people wonder if it is a problem with the daughter of this family. Now, they will certainly not miss this woman if they can see her with their own eyes. The gossip fire in their hearts is burning, and they are eager to wait for the time to pass quickly so that the daughter of the Ji family can come forward and they can tell the truth.
"The auspicious time has come!"
The woman who acted as a collector shouted, and everyone calmed down. Inside her sight, the girl slowly walked out of her eyes wrapped in a light pink dress, wearing a white gauze, revealing her beautiful neck and clearly visible collarbone. The pleats on the skirt were like snow and moonlight flowing on the ground, and she was more than three feet away, making her gait more graceful and gentle. Three thousand black hairs were tied up with a hairband, and a butterfly hair was inserted into her head. A strand of black hair was hanging on her chest, applying a thin pink, only adding color. The red door sensation on her cheeks created a delicate and cuteness with pure skin like petals. She looked like a butterfly flying in the wind, and also like a clear and transparent ice and snow.
The girl walked into the court, stood in the center, facing south, bowed to the guests watching the ceremony, with a faint smile on her face. Today is her home court! She is the well-deserved protagonist! No one can be stronger than her limelight. The figure of that young man appeared in his mind, bringing my long hair to his waist. How good is the boy marrying me? Now that her long hair is over, what are you, boy?
There were many thoughts in my heart, but they did not show any of them. Today is one of the most important experiences in her life. After the ceremony, she became an adult and could no longer express the fragile girl's sweet and silly girl's thoughts were like flowing water. Who can listen now?
Looking at the people around him faintly, the girl smiled, with a faint joy, mixed with a hint of melancholy and confusion that she could not say.
This woman is Ji Yanran. Today, it is her ritual and ritual.
“令月吉日,始加元服.弃尔幼志,顺尔承德.寿考惟祺,介尔景福.”
The person who acted as the guest was Ji Qing's former colleague and friend, a woman who was almost sixty years old, was kind enough to combed Ji Yanran's hair, put on a hairpin for her, touched her head, and turned around to ride. At this time, the praise symbolically tidied up the hairpin just inserted on Ji Yanran's head. Ji Yanran lowered her eyelids, and her eyes were inexplicably sore.
Today I am going to be an adult, today I am going to grow up, and today I am going to be carried to a position to marry. However, in her heart, there is no trace of her future husband.
I still remember many years ago, but it was not too long. Ji Yanran clearly remembered that she had just learned that she had a future husband. With a hint of curiosity and a little nervousness, she secretly asked the little maid Keer around her to inquire about the boy who was about to marry her when she became an adult.
The poems are talented and elegant, with handsome appearance, and have no bad habits. Although they are a little bit noble and a little bit uninhibited by the fireworks of the world, the girl still delivers her heart. For the girl who is in a ignorant emotional state, the characteristics of the boy absorb her heart like a magnet. From then on, the girl's memory is always indispensable for the boy's images.
However, just as she was waiting for the hairpin and waiting to get into the sedan chair to be his bride, the boy gave her a heavy blow and actually chose to become a monk! That's right, she would rather give up on herself than become a monk!
For her, this is definitely a great harm. How should she tell the world that a woman is being guided by others and is suspected by others. All this is not her fault. In fact, she is the biggest harm? However, her voice is too low and weak, and no one will listen to her explanation. In their hearts, she is just a broom star and an ominous person!
Thinking of this, Ji Yanran smiled bitterly. On this day, he did not come when he once looked forward to the most and yearned for the most!
Yes, in her heart, her feelings for Zhang Yang were very complicated. She didn't know how to face Zhang Yang, facing this tired boy who had hurt herself all over the body!
When she rescued the young man injured in the rain, she was actually a little resentment and unwilling to accept it! She wanted him to see that even if he abandoned her, he had not lived a good life. On the contrary, she still needed her help. In fact, her heart might not be so kind!
However, the boy in the situation told himself that he didn't remember him. Ji Yanran wondered whether it would be an excuse for him at that time. Did the boy regret what he did? And these things happened to the boy again confessing to himself and pursuing him, she could see!
After all, she knew him. In his eyes, she might have sympathy, gratitude, or favors, but that was not what she wanted, because there was no love there!
Ji Yanran calmed down her thoughts, bowed to everyone, returned to the east room, and changed into a plain skirt that matched the hairpin.
"With the correctness of the year and the order of the month, all of them will be given to you. Brothers are there to achieve their virtues. The yellow leaves are boundless and will be blessed by the heavens."
The hairpin was taken off, and the hairpin was worn on, Ji Yanran pursed her lips, and finally she didn't have to enjoy the touch of the old lady Zhengbin's hair. This situation made her remember that she accidentally saw Zhang Yang rubbing the hair of the little girl next to her, and bit her teeth lightly. Ji Yanran shook her head. It's time, and she is still in the mood to think about this. Do she have any extravagant expectations for Zhang Yang?
"The sweet and sweet wine is thick, and I recommend the charity to the charity. I will pay my respects to you to ensure your good fortune. I will continue to live a long life."
Ji Yanran bowed and took the wine. The old lady bowed back. At this time, there was a very thick cushion in front of Ji Yanran, which reminded her of the little monk kneeling on it when he recited the scriptures, with his legs bent. Ji Yanran knelt on her and spread some wine on the ground as a sacrifice. Then she held the wine symbolically and then placed the wine on a table.
Then, Ji Yanran knelt down at her father Ji Hu. Listening to his nagging words, Ji Yanran was very helpless. Usually, her father was not good at speaking in her heart, and she communicated with her more often with orders. But today, listening to Ji Hu's nagging, she understood that her father was also a chattering man. But on this occasion, she still listened carefully in the place where everyone was watching.
Ji Hu couldn't say anything. He knew that he was just a martial artist, not as thoughts as scholars, and not as much words. But now, looking at his daughter kneeling in front of him, he had a lot to say and a lot to express his feelings, but he couldn't say it.
Yes, he really couldn't say it, and it was very uncomfortable to hold it in his heart, but he only said a few words, and he always owe this daughter.
In his heart, there was inevitably a bad habit of people in this era, and they favored boys over girls. Especially in the Ji family, a family with thin offspring, the first child was a girl, which really hit him a big blow. Therefore, he was negligent about Ji Yanran and sometimes he didn't care about it.
For example, for her marriage and her situation after she was forced to break off the engagement, as a father, he did not protect his daughter. When he heard other people's talk, he just wanted to send his daughter out to avoid the limelight. But how could he ever think that it was what she needed most, and it was actually the company of her family?
Ji Hu's eyes were a little wet. This was her daughter, his only daughter. In the future, he will be a father seriously and become the most powerful and strongest support for his daughter!
"Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not accept it!"
The bitter smile on the corner of Ji Yanran's mouth finally disappeared. It doesn't matter, he still has his father and family!
Seeing her father looking at her, she knew that from then on, she would no longer be alone and buried all her sorrow in her heart.
"Congratulations!"
Li Cheng, everyone congratulated Ji Hu one after another, and looked at him with envy. Many people saw Ji Yanran for the first time, and were amazed at her appearance. Is this woman really the kind of reckless man Ji Hu?
Such a girl makes it difficult for them to put the circulating messages on her. It seems that the message is a message after all, and I cannot completely believe it! I feel a little bit like a person with little fortune.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were hot. Can such a beautiful woman match the bad boy at home?
