The capping ceremony, commonly known as the coming-of-age ceremony or the ceremony of adulthood, was a symbol of a man’s adulthood in ancient times.
First, the day and the guest are divined to show respect for the coming-of-age ceremony; second, three additions are made to express his aspirations; and finally, a name is chosen for the person who is to be crowned.
These procedures are necessary for aristocratic families, scholarly families, and official families.
But there is no need to make it so complicated in the homes of merchants, and farmers and ordinary people don’t care about these things at all.
Su Shien just wanted to go through the motions, burn incense to his ancestors, and go through the process.
But Su Wanli, who had never cared about him before, became excited and insisted on making a grand celebration.
His thoughts were obvious, he just wanted to show off the name that the old dean had given to Su Shien.
The key point is that he also realized that the eldest son was gradually getting out of the family's control after the separation, and he seemed to be quite favored by his teacher, which inevitably made him want to restore family ties.
It's a pity that Su Shien refused to cooperate. He wished to have as little involvement with his family as possible. His life now was simply too good to be true.
You said you wanted a grand celebration, why should I let you have your wish?
He earned the name "Ming Ran" through his increasingly sophisticated acting skills and his husband's eloquence. What does it have to do with you? Why are you showing off?
Originally, Su Shien didn't have much affection for his father, and after reading his mother's essay, the little affection he had for his father disappeared completely.
But as a reserve hypocrite, I still have to put on a show.
Su Shien sighed and said, "The ceremony of coming of age requires specific attire. The clothes and the crown are a complete set. They all need to be custom-made in advance, and an auspicious date must be chosen early."
Simple and straightforward, it hits the point. This is not something you can do just by saying it with a simple gesture.
I didn't even know my eldest son's birthday, and I wasn't present at his wedding. Now it's too late to cram.
"The workload is tight, and the college only approved three days of leave for me, so time doesn't allow for that."
As the student with the most leave in Luoqi Academy, Su Shien was given three days of leave as a special favor by the dean.
Su Wanli was a little embarrassed. He had never performed a coming-of-age ceremony for his child and didn't know there were so many details involved.
Previously, Su Shinian and Su Yunzhu's coming-of-age ceremonies were arranged by Su Wangshi. He only needed to dress up and play the role of the head of the family.
Now, Mrs. Su Wang can just stand by and watch the fun, but there is no need to ask her to intervene.
Seeing that Master Su was pretending to be strong, his breathable cotton-padded jacket full of holes immediately came online.
Han Zeyu thoughtfully paved the way for his father-in-law: "Shi En has already felt your sincere heart and deep affection. I know that you are busy with your business and have many brothers and sisters at home. The livelihood of this whole family rests on your shoulders alone."
It was rare for Su Wanli to look Han Zeyu in the eye. Seeing his understanding side for the first time, he actually felt somewhat comforted.
"If Shi En delays for one day, he will absorb one day less knowledge. If you delay for one day, what huge financial losses will you cause!"
Su Wangshi suddenly realized, and she wondered how Han Zeyu's poisonous mouth could be as sweet as honey. It turned out that he was waiting here.
"Although my business can't be compared to yours, I know making money isn't easy. We'll stay for a while longer, each doing our own thing."
Su Wanli withdrew his previous feeling of being moved. This country bumpkin was still vicious.
I'm kind enough to hold a coronation ceremony for my son, but I have to pay him for the appearance fee?
They even brought Qiao and acted like famous actors and actresses and came here to tour?
In the past, at such times, Su Wangshi would have spent money to avoid disaster, but now that their relationship is neither good nor bad, Su Wangshi will not spend a penny!
As expected, Su Wangshi turned her head away, curled her lips, and thought to herself, "You raise your own son, what does it have to do with me?"
Su Wanli was held here, unable to go up or down.
If he doesn't pay, it seems like he only cares about profit and doesn't care about his son. Although this is generally true, it's not easy to say.
But if he had to pay, it would be too absurd. He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. Looking at the poor man beside him, Su Wanli took out a silver note with a face value of one hundred taels with a heavy heart.
Pay it! Pay it! If he doesn't pay, Han Zeyu, with his chatterbox, will definitely tell others what he wants to say about him!
What a sin!
Han Zeyu perfectly interprets the four words "money-sighted".
First, she spoke kind words without asking for anything in return, and then she claimed that the day after tomorrow was an auspicious day, and that she would allow him to buy clothes for her husband tomorrow, and that she would definitely not delay the ceremony.
Su Wanli flipped through the almanac and saw four big words clearly written on it: "Everything is unfavorable."
Damn it... He almost blurted out the swear words he had never said in his life, and his half-life reputation was almost ruined.
He reminded himself to stay calm. He was the richest businessman in Qingshan County. Even if it was an ordinary family, it would definitely not be a good thing if the news of a father-in-law insulting his daughter-in-law came out.
I really want to slap myself, let you be so vain! Let you be so rude!
Vanity costs money, being rude makes you angry, and even in the end people may not appreciate your kindness.
Su Wanli has been in the business world for more than 20 years and has rarely suffered such humiliation. For a while, he found it difficult to accept it.
Seeing someone suffer a loss in silence, Su Wangshi could hardly suppress the smile on her lips. If she had known that watching a show was so enjoyable, she would have given up the title of mistress of the house long ago.
Mrs. Su Wang even thought with glee that if Han Zeyu came to extort money from her every month, his income would definitely be more substantial than that of Aunt Bai.
Han Zeyu: What are you thinking about? I'm your daughter-in-law, not your aunt. Even if I were your aunt, I can't guarantee that my period will come every month.
"Madam, I know you're not feeling well. I guess you haven't recovered from your physical weakness yet. I won't bother you with such a trivial matter."
Mrs. Su Wang was not very moved because she firmly believed that a dog could not spit out ivory.
Otherwise, it must be that Su Wangshi understood Han Zeyu. When you show courtesy to others, there must be ulterior motives, let alone a profit-seeking guy like Han Zeyu.
"I think it's best to keep the wealth within the family. We have ready-made cloth in our house, and if we borrow two embroiderers, I believe they can make the wedding dress in a day and a half."
Su Wangshi clenched her fists tightly, thinking that what was coming had finally come, and she made a final struggle without giving up.
"In fact, the cloth shops in the county are all owned by the prefecture, so their quality is absolutely trustworthy."
The implication is very clear. You can buy ready-made clothes with your own money. They are all the property of the mansion. You have separated them for almost two years. Don't talk about us all the time. Have some sense of boundaries.
Blinking innocently, Han Zeyu said that he had never been to school, he had no culture, he was clear-headed and ignorant, and he could not understand the implied meaning.
How can I let you stay out of this, little guy? When it comes to fleecing the sheep, his main principle is to treat everyone equally and all beings are equal.
As long as he can get the girl, there is no limit on species. Does he care whether you are a man or a woman?
Gender is not a problem, age is not a distance, and it doesn’t matter how much money you have, just give it all to you!
