Great Elder Princess was Jingwan's foster mother. Her status was very noble and she was talented. Naturally, she was the best candidate for Jingwan's Hairpin Ceremony. If someone else was chosen instead of her, Great Elder Princess would probably be unhappy, so there was no need to worry that she would disagree.
Madam Luo nodded in agreement and looked sideways at Jingwan, who was sitting beside her. "Remember to pay respects to Great Elder Princess."
Jingwan nodded with a smile and said, "I'll pay respects to my foster mother when the date is chosen." Although she would officially send her resignation three days before the Hairpin Ceremony, it was necessary to inform her in advance.
"The secretary and the counselor can make the decision by Wan Wan."
Jingwan was very clear about the agenda of the Hairpin Ceremony. She had seen a lot of it when she was in Qi 'an Mansion and also participated in it as a counselor. "Grandma, will the secretary choose one or three people?"
Madam Luo laughed and said, "How can Wan Wan ask such a silly question?"
Jingwan silently closed her mouth. She was indeed silly. If one's status was not high enough, it would be pretentious. But if one's status was high enough, it was natural for him to do it. If he didn't do it, others would think that he was unworthy and looked down upon. Jingwan was now in the state of "frugality".
However, it was quite difficult to choose. It was not that there were few people. On the contrary, among the many noble ladies in the capital city, Jingwan was definitely the first one. Many people would rush to attend her Hairpin Ceremony as the main person. After all, there would be many important guests present. It would be of great benefit if they could show their faces and be known by more nobles.
The princesses of Qi Yuan were still worried about marriage. Their husbands were basically invisible. If they were favored, they would be fine. If they were not, they would probably disappear in a corner after marriage. However, it would be different if they had a good friend with a powerful background. Even if they were married, they could show their existence from time to time. Among other things, if they could get Great Elder Princess's approval, they would definitely feel much better. Therefore, if Jingwan wanted to be extravagant, she could easily set up a group of princesses.
Of course, Jingwan would not do such a thing. She was not familiar with those princesses.
Praises were usually sisters or good friends and were usually unmarried. Jing Wan already had an idea of who to choose. Zhou Ying Shuang and Yuan Qiao Qiao would choose one. As for Si, Jing Wan did not know about other places, but in Qi Yuan, they would usually choose a young married woman who had not been married for long. In reality, this should be chosen by Jing Wan's mother, Zhang-shi, or else Old Madame Luo could also choose.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang's heart was actually very sad. Her daughter was celebrating such an important day, but she had nothing to do. She also knew that she didn't have much ability, and if she wasn't careful, things might go wrong. However, she didn't receive any news about this matter before. Originally, she should have been the first to know, but she made her daughter sad. Not only could she not help her, but she also wanted her to protect her. In this way, even if she was ignored, she couldn't blame her for anything. Mrs. Zhang felt that something was wrong with the corners of her eyes, so she hurriedly touched her temples to cover it up. She put on a smile. At this time, she couldn't cry. It was okay that she couldn't help her daughter, but she couldn't embarrass her and be a hindrance.
Coming of age was indeed very important for a girl. Other people also joined in, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
However, several people of the Gu Family had a strange light in their eyes. When they were calculating something, they couldn't help but feel scared.
Although they had been in the Luo Family for a few days and inquired about some things, they didn't know that the Third Miss was so amazing. Not only was she doted on by the two elders of the Luo Family, but she even had the foster mother of Great Elder Princess and was the future Princess. They didn't even dare to imagine that she was so glorious and illustrious. Before they came to the capital city, the most senior official's wife they could meet was just a fourth-level official.
At that time, Mrs. Zhang showed off a lot with the excuse that her sister's father-in-law was a first-level official. Because of this, she squeezed into the circle that she couldn't enter before, and others still flattered her. If her father-in-law was a first-level official … in fact, she would be more powerful than before. She stopped breathing for a moment, and her heart seemed to be gnawed by thousands of insects …
She didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but she met Jingwan's eyes. Jingwan also said that the girl of the Lord Protector's Manor was just … If you offended her, you probably wouldn't have a good end.
Her heart couldn't stop beating wildly. Fortunately, there was still the relationship of relatives.
But with such a confusing identity, as long as she leaked something through her fingers, it would be enough …
After about an hour, they dispersed. As for the other side, Luo Shangshu had left for more than two months, so he naturally had a lot to "talk" with his descendants. Originally, they had nothing to do with the children under the age of 16, but this time, all the children who had been enlightened stayed. It could be seen that Luo Shangshu really didn't mean to let them go at all.
Two days later, the Coming of Age Ceremony was held.
Jingwan didn't know that they were so serious just to choose the date of the Coming of Age Ceremony.
But they were busy for her sake, so Jingwan was grateful.
It should be known that many unfavored girls had their Coming of Age Ceremony in a hurry, and even some people didn't have such a solemn ceremony at all. For girls at present, the Coming of Age Ceremony played an important role in motivating and encouraging them. Therefore, whether the family cared about it or not, it would have an immeasurable impact on them.
The final date was September 6, which was suitable for everything.
The next day, Jingwan visited Great Elder Princess's Manor and told her at once, which was also a show of respect to Great Elder Princess.
For Jingwan, she could visit Great Elder Princess's Mansion at any time, and there was no need to pay a formal visit.
Every time Jingwan visited, Jingwan was the happiest one. As they got along for a long time, Jingwan liked this little girl more and more.
"What are you here for today?" Great Elder Princess asked with a smile, drinking the flower tea sent by Jingwan.
"What are you talking about, mother? Can't I come for no reason?"
"I don't know. I just met you a day or two before I left the Summer Palace of Chengde. If there is nothing, you won't come so soon." Great Elder Princess was not complaining, nor did she blame Jingwan.
Great Elder Princess's Manor was not involved in the affairs of the imperial court, but Luo Peishan had real power. Even though Jingwan was Great Elder Princess's adopted daughter, she couldn't visit often because of this relationship. Otherwise, it would definitely arouse suspicion, which was not good for both families.
"Well, my family is going to hold the Coming of Age Ceremony for me on September 6, and we want to invite you to be the guest of honor. I wonder if you …"
Before Jingwan finished her words, Great Elder Princess waved her hand to interrupt her. "You are going to hold the Coming of Age Ceremony, so of course I will be the guest of honor. Do you want to invite someone else?" Great Elder Princess looked at Jingwan as if she would drive her out if she had such an idea.
"Of course I thought of you first. Didn't I set the date yesterday and come today?"
Great Elder Princess gave her a look of "you know what you are doing". She didn't ask her how she could hold the Coming of Age Ceremony in advance.
Jingwan spent more than half a day in Great Elder Princess's Manor. When she left, she agreed to worship the moon with Wengzhu Yuyao on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the afternoon, Jingwan went to the Yuan family. They hadn't seen each other for more than two months. Yuan Qiaoqiao pounced on Jingwan like a crazy girl and hugged her directly. She really didn't have any manners at all. However, it didn't matter since they were at home. No one would criticize her. But it was enough to show that her legs and feet were completely healed without any sequelae.
Jingwan had no choice but to let go of her and go to pay respects to her aunt and Madam Dowager of the Yuan Family.
No matter what the reason was, the old madam was always kind and amiable towards Jingwan and seemed to like her a lot.
Then she went to Yuan Qiaoqiao's courtyard. When she learned that Jingwan was going to hold the Coming of Age Ceremony and needed a compliment, she directly waved her hand and gave it to Zhou Yingshuang. "In order to make friends with my grandfather, many people have stepped on the threshold of my family. There are so many people who want to marry me. According to my mother and grandmother, there are many people who we didn't dare to dream of in the past. Now they are waiting for us to choose. I don't need to add to the limelight." When it came to her marriage, she was also careless. "Although Yingshuang has been engaged, it's good to give her some confidence. You are the future wife of the Prince. If her husband sees that you are on good terms with her, he will definitely be proud in the future."
Well, it felt very good to be able to support others one day, although in essence, she was relying on others.
"Are you still going to Yingshuang's place? Let's go, let's go now. I want to take this opportunity to go out. My mother is very strict with me. Usually, she won't let me go out. If you are there, she will definitely agree. "
Yuan Qiaoqiao's temperament was relatively more outgoing. She would definitely feel uncomfortable being locked up at home.
After asking for his aunt's opinion, Luo Ronghui agreed without hesitation.
After leaving the door, Yuan Qiaoqiao "complained" to Jingwan, "You are my mother's daughter. I begged her for half a day, but it was not as effective as a word from you."
"Sorry, Qi 'an Prefecture is very far from the capital. Even if my mother took me from someone else, it would not be your family." Jingwan said with a smile.
Yuan Qiaoqiao directly rolled her eyes at Jingwan.
When they arrived at the Zhou Residence, they found that Zhou Yingshuang was embroidering her dowry.
"Has the wedding date been set? Before the New Year? "Jingwan asked.
Zhou Yingshuang had a shy and sweet expression as she nodded, "10th of October."
This speed seemed a bit fast. Jingwan thought that they would have to wait until next year.
When she understood the purpose of Jingwan's visit and knew that Yuan Qiaoqiao did not hesitate to let her have him, she was grateful and naturally agreed. Thus, they spent another half a day at the Zhou Residence.
Two days later, it was the 15th of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Le Chengdi gave another long holiday. Other than those who had to stay in their positions, everyone else went home. He also said that there would only be a family banquet in the palace tonight. The officials would quickly go back to their own homes to reunite.
The reunion banquet was held in the courtyard. When there was still more than two hours before nightfall, all kinds of lanterns were hung up. They were tied to bamboo poles with ropes, erected high on the roof eaves or balconies, or built into various shapes with small lanterns. The trees in the courtyard and the rockery were also decorated.
