The days passed one by one, and soon it was Song Qian's coming-of-age day.
Xu Sanniang started preparing for Song Qian's coming-of-age ceremony half a month ago. Although the Song family was not a wealthy family, it was a well-known family in Xinghua Village after all, so it had to be held in a grand manner.
After reaching the age of 15, Song Qian can start looking for marriage.
After she came of age, suitors would keep coming to her house. Although some ignorant people in the village had spread rumors about Song Qian learning the piano, fortunately the rumors were suppressed in time and would not have much impact, nor would they delay Song Qian's marriage. Otherwise, Xu Sanniang would never be so easy to talk to!
Xu Sanniang got up early in the morning. She asked Song Tingzhi to pick up Song Qian and invite Mrs. Tang to visit as well.
Xu Sanniang wanted to ask Madam Tang to be a witness for Song Qian, and let those who were talking nonsense take a good look!
Song Tingzhi took the note given by Xu Sanniang and went to buy the things first, and then went to Mingyue Lane to pick up Song Qian and Tang Niangzi.
Song Tingzhi had greeted Madam Tang before, so Madam Tang packed up early and waited with Song Qian.
In addition to Madam Tang, Song Tingzhi also talked to Qi Yu and asked Qi Yu to go to Xinghua Village to attend Song Qian's coming-of-age ceremony when he is free.
Qi Yu was very happy when he knew this. He said that Song Tingzhi's sister was his sister and he wanted to prepare a big gift for her. Song Tingzhi couldn't resist him and just let him do it.
Qi Yu's half-brother Qi Lin also knew that Song Qian was about to reach the age of marriage, and cried and begged Qi Yu to take him with him.
Although Qi Yu has several sisters, he only has this little brother who has always been very kind to him, so Qi Lin is not afraid of him. Qi Yu knew that Qi Lin and Song Qian knew each other, so he took him with him.
In addition to them, Song Tingzhi also called a few people who were on good terms with him to go back together.
Song Tingyi went out alone, but came back with a group of people. The onlookers looked at these strangers and said that Song Tingzhi was capable and knew so many people in the town!
Xu Sanniang was also surprised to see Song Tingzhi bringing so many people back. She had heard Song Tingzhi say before that he had invited a lot of people. Xu Sanniang thought there would be only three or four people, but it turned out that quite a few came.
Xu Sanniang was a little worried whether the food prepared at home was enough!
Even with this in mind, Xu Sanniang still warmly welcomed everyone in.
When Song Qian saw her mother, she felt anxious and walked quickly to her side, holding Xu Sanniang's hand.
Since Song Qian came from Madam Tang's place early in the morning, Madam Tang had already taken care of her makeup and hair, so she just needed to come back and tidy up a little bit.
Xu Sanniang took Mrs. Tang and Song Qian to her room. Mrs. Tang greeted Jiang Cheng when she saw him, but Song Qian's coming-of-age ceremony was more important, so the two did not talk much.
When everything was almost cleaned up, it was time. Xu Sanniang and Song Tao sat in the first seat, waiting for Song Qian to come over.
There was a special person giving the blessing speech nearby. Song Qian listened to the speech word by word and walked to her parents, then knelt down and waited for Xu Sanniang to do her hair.
Xu Sanniang looked at her daughter kneeling in front of her, and suddenly remembered what she looked like when she was just born, pink and tender, so adorable.
Xu Sanniang walked up to Song Qian step by step, and began to do her hair with tears in her eyes.
Xu Sanniang moved quickly and had tied Song Qian's hair in a short while. She then helped Song Qian stand up and face everyone.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, there was a banquet.
Xu Sanniang specially invited a banquet maker from the village to prepare a banquet for Song Qian's coming-of-age ceremony. She prepared many tables, and each table was full.
Xu Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw so many people. She almost thought there wouldn’t be enough seats!
He Xiaomi and Jiang Cheng sat together, not with He's father and mother.
"Who is that person next to your Song Tingzhi? He is dressed differently from the others!" The person He Xiaomi was talking about was Qi Yu, who was drinking with Song Tingzhi.
"That's Qi Yu, the young master of Yunshang Casino!" Jiang Cheng followed his gaze and found that it was Qi Yu, then whispered in his ear.
"He is Qi Yu!" He Xiaomi was a little surprised.
He Xiaomi originally thought that the young master of Yunshang Casino was at least 30 years old, but it turned out that he was not much older than Song Tingzhi.
He Xiaomi expressed her thoughts in a low voice.
"Yes! He is one year younger than Tingzhi! It's just that his family let him take over earlier." Jiang Cheng explained for Qi Yu, "How about this, this young master is doing quite well!"
Jiang Cheng touched He Xiaomi's shoulder and said with a smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" He Xiaomi shyly patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder. "I'm just curious about what he looks like. Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing that He Xiaomi was too shy, Jiang Cheng stopped teasing him, picked up some dishes for him, and then ate.
When Qi Yu and Song Tingzhi were drinking, they noticed He Xiaomi next to Jiang Cheng.
Because most of the people who come here are married or unmarried young men, boys are particularly conspicuous.
Qi Yu had noticed this fair-skinned boy a long time ago. Seeing that he was familiar with Jiang Cheng, he put his hand on Song Tingzhi's shoulder and asked him who he was.
Song Tingzhi took a look and told him.
"Why are you asking these questions?" Song Tingzhi asked curiously.
"Nothing! Just asking!" Qi Yu waved his hand without saying anything, and pulled Song Tingzhi to continue drinking.
Mrs. Tang was surrounded by other ladies in the village at the dinner table, especially those with daughters and sons. Seeing that Song Qian looked different from before, they all asked Mrs. Tang about it, hoping to let their own children learn from her.
Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. Everyone noticed the changes in Song Qian and ignored the rumors in the village. They were all very enthusiastic!
Song Qian's coming-of-age ceremony was held with great fanfare, and Xu Sanniang felt particularly proud.
After the meal, Xu Sanniang politely sent everyone away, and Qi Yu took Qi Lin away in the family car.
As for Madam Tang, Xu Sanniang asked Song Tingzhi to send her back.
Today, when Mrs. Tang came, she not only broke the rumors that had been circulating in the village, but also promoted herself.
Even though the villagers are not as wealthy as those in the town, who doesn't want their daughter to learn something and have the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family in the future? Thinking about this, the money spent seems to be a small amount!
Jiang Cheng was cleaning up the garbage in the yard. There were a lot of people here today, and there were a lot of things left behind. Song Qian also helped.
Song Qian bought a piglet at home during her break. She went over to take a look out of curiosity, but was sprayed by the piglet, which scared her so much that she quickly took several steps back.
"This little piglet has a really bad temper!" Song Qian said.
"Yeah, maybe it's because Xiao Hui always teases it when he has nothing to do, which makes it unhappy!" Jiang Cheng told Song Qian about the interesting things at home.
After listening to this, Song Qian touched Xiao Hui at her feet and smiled happily!
