Chapter 665 Sisters’ Gifts
While urging, Liang brought other clothes to help Shen Qingqian change.
She was very well prepared: the hairpin and robe for the first step, a crescent-white skirt, and a fine cloth belt; the hairpin and long gown with curved hem for the second step; the hairpin and formal long-sleeved dress for the third step, top and skirt, all neatly stacked.
Shen Qingqian didn't feel impatient at all. She tried all the clothes and finally put on the clothes she had just worn.
"My dear Qian has grown up," Liang said with satisfaction as she combed a double bun for Shen Qingqian.
When meeting guests before the first marriage, you need to wear your hair in two buns.
Shen Qingqian heard the nasal tone in her words, and shook her hand with her backhand, smiling slightly with curved eyebrows, "No matter how old I am, I will always be my mother's daughter."
Upon hearing this, Liang raised the corners of her lips, her expression full of pride, "Of course."
After the mother and daughter finished, Shen Qingning came over with a bowl of Yuanxiao and said with a chuckle, "Sixth sister, don't go out in the morning. Eat in the house."
"I want to go out but my mother won't let me!" Shen Qingqian pretended to be distressed and looked at Liang.
Liang tapped her lightly on the head and said, "You have so many ideas. Today is not the time to let you do as you please."
After saying that, she went out.
Today is Shen Qingqian's coming-of-age ceremony, and the Shen family held a grand celebration within their means. All the items were prepared by Wu and her friends. Liang was afraid of neglecting the guests, so she went to check everywhere in person before she felt at ease.
Inside the room, Shen Qingning looked at Shen Qingqian with a smile, "You know what, I haven't seen you dressed like this in a long time. I kind of miss my childhood."
Girls from the Shen family would only wear such clothes before they were ten years old. When they grew up, they would wear all kinds of beautiful skirts. After all, when they went out to visit friends in Beijing, they couldn't dress too casually.
Shen Qingqian looked down at her own attire, pursed her lips and chuckled, "Yes, when I was little I often wore clothes like this and ran after my grandfather. Once I even wanted to go to court with him!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I remember that day when I woke up, I heard my mother say that you were punished by your third aunt to kneel in the ancestral hall. I couldn't believe it at the time. Obviously, you are usually the best behaved one in the family, but..." Shen Qingning also covered his mouth and laughed.
When the two mentioned Master Shen, they both tacitly agreed not to think of anything bad.
However, what Shen Qingqian said was particularly clear in the original body's memory. It was also at that time that the Shen family learned that this usually well-behaved little girl could also be naughty and mischievous sometimes.
Of course, these are all very accidental events.
Shen Qingning waited until Shen Qingqian finished eating before taking the bowl out. She was the head chef today and had to go to the kitchen to busy herself.
Not long after, Shen Qingman and the others came over.
"Congratulations, Sixth Sister. After today you will be a real adult." Shen Qingman teased.
Shen Qingxiao handed over a purse with both hands and said, "Happy birthday, Sixth Sister. This is the purse I made. There is a brocade handkerchief inside. You can use it."
"Sixth sister, this is a belt I gave you. Please don't despise that my needlework skills are not as good as Third Aunt's." Shen Qingyu said shyly.
Shen Qingman's mouth drooped in dissatisfaction. "Well, you all secretly prepared birthday gifts for Sixth Sister, but didn't even inform me. Are you still good sisters?"
Shen Qingyu covered her face and laughed softly, but said nothing. She didn't believe that her second sister didn't prepare a gift.
Shen Qingxiao mercilessly exposed her, "Second sister, a few days ago, you got up in the middle of the night to weave something. You didn't think I didn't see it, did you?"
The two of them lived in the same room, so how could Shen Qingman hide the things he prepared from her?
