NOVEL NEXT Chapter 102:
In the next few days, Wei Hanzhang resisted the idea of going to the next door. He either stayed in his room to read and practice calligraphy, or went to Jiang's place to chat with his mother.
Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of hairdressing arrived.
The weather was very good. Wei Hanzhang was woken up by Grandma Sun early in the morning. After packing, he went to the Jiang Family Courtyard under the sun. The mother and daughter talked about the things to pay attention to when performing hairpin ceremony.
As the sun gradually rose, guests also came intermittently.
The guest of honor at the wedding ceremony was Mrs. Li, the mother of Wei Heng's long-time friend and colleague. She was a blessed elder with both parents and descendants. She was also the fourth-grade imperial concubine of the dynasty.
If the hairpin ceremony was held in the name of the Marquis's family, the status of the guest of honor would naturally be more valuable. However, the second wife planned it for her daughter and could only rely on the connections of Wei Heng and Jiang.
Li is already the most suitable elder among the elders Wei Heng can find.
As Jiang expected, there were not many guests here today. Not only were there few outsiders, but also the girls who got married in the Wei Mansion. Except for the two first cousins, Wei Hanshuang and Wei Hanye, who came specially to watch the ceremony, the remaining Not one of my cousins, as well as the daughters of the Wei family from the previous generation and Wei Hanzhang's direct aunts, made a special trip.
There may be some who really can't leave, but most of them think that such a sister/niece whose engagement has been broken off and who is destined to have difficulty finding a good match is not worthy of their special trip.
Wei Hanzhang held the hands of his two cousins who had come back early to watch the ceremony, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of Wei Hanyu.
Before marrying to Yuezhou, Wei Hanyu said that if she married so poorly, her sisters in the family might become estranged from her.
At that time, she said that Wei Hanyu was unreasonable and too pessimistic...
Sure enough, the eighth girl who grew up in the Hou Mansion still sees things more clearly than she does. She would rather complain to her, a cousin who has just returned to the house for the first time, and hold the jade gift from her as if it is a life-saving straw.
Wei Heng, who is a biological father, looked at the guests in the venue, his expression darkened.
It's okay for others to praise others and put them down, but even his daughter's biological grandmother and mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, only sent someone a golden hairpin. She didn't even show her face, let alone his grandfather. Dad didn't take leave today, and he hasn't returned home yet.
Wei Heng had known that his parents had complained about his little daughter's annullation, but this was no wonder Ran Ran... As an elder, it would be fine if he didn't be more loving and protective. Unexpectedly, even the most important hairpin gift in the girl's family was treated like this. Not heard.
Jiang didn't realize at all that the person next to her was extremely disappointed with her close relatives. The mother and daughter didn't care at all who didn't come today. Instead, they remembered the people who were coming one by one.
Welcome guests with a smile.
The haircut ceremony went smoothly. After Wei Heng solemnly announced the ceremony, the guests sat down safely. Wei Hanzhang slowly walked into the decorated venue and saluted the guests.
Those who praised her combed her hair, and the guests of honor came forward to recite congratulations. Everything went on in a step-by-step manner.
Over at the Changji Hall, Xiao Junzhan was extremely nervous all morning. He had no intention of dealing with the government affairs in his hands. He was only thinking about what his little girl would look like at her coming-of-age ceremony today.
Just as Ning Hai came in with a plate of fresh fruit, he raised his eyes and said, "Ran Ran, what's going on?"
Ning Hai had already been prepared. Hearing this, he whispered: "Zhangmenhou sent someone to deliver the news. Calculating the time, the hairpin ceremony should have been completed."
Xiao Junzhan paused and said, "Have you ever given me my congratulatory gift?"
The word "Xian" made Ning Hai stunned when he heard it.
Even if he had known how deeply his Royal Highness felt for the girl from the Wei family, he still would not have been able to understand the dignity of the prince and call the gift he gave him a 'offer'. Ning Hai was slightly startled, but he quickly recovered and replied: "The chief minister has received an errand. He is always careful in his work, so His Highness can rest assured."
…………
Just as Xiao Junzhan had calculated, Wei Hanzhang wore a hairpin-length dress, with a hairpin that represented adulthood on his head. He knelt in front of Wei Heng and Jiang and listened to the teachings. After the hairpin ceremony was officially completed, a burst of noise suddenly sounded in the distance of the venue. the sound of.
It seemed that someone was coming this way. While everyone was wondering, a young man wearing the uniform of a servant of the Wei Mansion trotted over from the other side of the path.
Out of breath, he said: "The chief minister came to the house to give the gift of hairpins to the ninth **** the prince's orders. He will be arriving soon. The old lady asked the servants to remind the second master, the second wife and the guests to dress up and welcome them."
Hearing this, all the guests in the court fell silent.
Jiang was not surprised, he just glanced sideways at the young girl beside him, with an obvious smile.
Wei Hanzhang was embarrassed by his mother's smile, but he didn't expect the man to be so impatient. He sent her a congratulatory gift right after her haircut ceremony, for fear that others wouldn't be able to see his thoughts.
There were not many guests here today, no more than twenty in total. They were still bringing their families with them. They were led by Wei Heng and Jiang, and they knelt on the blue bricks in the courtyard to receive the order.
Just as Wei Hanzhang was about to kneel down, he was stopped by Changmen Hou Xie Li who had already come closer. He bowed slightly and saluted, and said in a respectful tone: "His Highness said, Miss Wei, please just stand and listen." Can."
Beside Xie Li was the Crown Prince Wei Huan who was leading the way for him. Hearing this, he was shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked at his little niece who had just grown up.
Kiss Heng Heng is not better than his elder brother. He really never thought that the princes will be involved in the young girls in the same family today.
The only intersection was a casual support a few days ago...
Regardless of the fact that his words caused the whole courtyard to drop their jaws in shock, Xie Li stood up straight and said warmly: "Miss Wei, you have hairpins today. Your Highness knows that you are proficient in piano skills, so I have specially sent a minister to offer you a gift."
He raised his hand back, and two chamberlains came with him, holding a piano and moving forward.
There were several rapid breathing sounds all around, and Wei Hanzhang was also slightly startled.
Her knowledge of the guqin is actually not that proficient, but she is able to tell that this vermillion-red guqin seems to be the legendary "Ancient Heritage" qin.
When I was learning the piano, I heard from my teacher that this piano was kept in the treasury of the royal family. I didn’t expect that it would fall into her hands today...
Wei Hanzhang expressed his deep blessing and gratitude, and asked Luzhu and Lulan to accept the qin.
Xie Liyou wanted to do well in front of the future empress, so he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Miss Wei. Your Highness asked me to ask you, can we arrange the appointment with you tomorrow?"
He said he was happy, whether he was talking about the joy of reaching adulthood, or something else... everyone in the room kept guessing.
Not to mention the following sentence...'Can you do it tomorrow?'
Can it be anything?
What your Highness wants to do tomorrow, you need to ask the advice of Jiu Niang of the Wei family.
I have never heard that His Highness has been close to any girl. Could it be that this time... something good is about to happen? (End of chapter)
