Chapter 668 Invitation
Sheng Ze came back to his senses and shook his head, "Nothing."
Ling Yun on the other side of him held back his laughter and stared straight ahead.
If the master dares to say now that he is thinking about the Sixth Miss, he might be beaten to death by the Shen brothers.
At this time, Madam Zheng had already inserted a very light but exquisitely crafted gold hairpin into Shen Qingqian's bun.
"May the Sixth Miss be safe and happy, get what she wants, and have a smooth life." Old Madam Zheng gave her most sincere blessings.
Shen Qingqian bowed to her respectfully and said, "Thank you, old lady."
Now she was wearing a long dress with wide sleeves and had solemn makeup on her face. She bowed so solemnly that Madam Zheng was distracted. She turned half of her body to the side and did not accept her full greeting.
"Good boy, there's no need to be like this." Madam Zheng was puzzled. Why did she feel like she had seen the late queen?
Liang smiled and said, "That's as it should be. Old Madam, please don't be polite to her."
Zheng Shicheng is now the second most important person in northern Hubei after Liang Cheng, and Madam Zheng has children and grandchildren around her. Regardless of status or other factors, she is the best candidate that the Liang family can find to tutor Shen Qingqian. She naturally deserves this thank you.
Shen Qingqian thanked him and went back to the house.
After going through the whole process, she still admired the ancients' sense of ritual.
When modern children grow up, most of them will find a restaurant to treat them, and the children will call their friends to join in the fun.
This is something that parents pay attention to. If they don’t, the day of adulthood will be no different from an ordinary birthday.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, the Shen family started calling for the feast to begin.
Qi took Lin Siyu and her sister to sit in the seats arranged by Xiao. As soon as they sat down, she found that Lin Siyu was absent-minded and her eyes were looking everywhere.
"Third girl, what's wrong?" Qi thought for a moment and then moved closer to her and asked.
Lin Siyu came back to her senses and forced a smile, "Nothing."
She was just shocked by Shen Qingqian's appearance when she took the imperial examination for the third time. Also, if she was not mistaken, the jade pendant that Madam Zheng had put on Shen Qingqian should belong to His Highness.
When she and Jian Ningxiang met Sheng Ze together, he was wearing the jade pendant.
Jian Ningxiang said that it was bestowed by the late emperor when Shengze was born. It represented his identity and seemed to have other functions, but Jian Ningxiang did not find out more specific details.
Now the jade pendant appeared on Shen Qingqian, and what it meant was self-evident.
On the male guest's side, Qi Hongjun didn't notice that Sheng Ze was distracted from time to time. His eyes were on Shen Jun.
"Second Master Shen, I wonder if you can teach in my school?" Qi Hongjun asked directly without beating around the bush.
He had been trying to find an opportunity to talk to Shen Jun about this matter these past few days, but Shen Jun went out early and came back late every day, so he hadn't found a chance.
Shen Jun was totally unprepared for this. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Qi. I'm very busy with family matters and really can't spare the time."
The work in the fields was already numerous and complicated, and required physical labor, and he didn't want the women in his family to do the rough work.
"I know this too, but..." Qi Hongjun opened his mouth to persuade him, but before he could say anything, he saw a tall and thin young man tugging at Shen Jun's sleeve.
Shen Shen leaned close to Shen Jun's ear and said, "Second Young Master, don't worry about going to school. I'll take care of the family matters."
In ancient times, the attire worn during the three stages of the hairpin ceremony each held a distinct meaning, symbolizing a girl's growth process. The pure, vibrant color of the caiyi symbolized a girl's innocence; the light, elegant ruqun (skirt) symbolized the purity of a young girl; the dignified shenyi (especially one with a curved hem) was universally recognized as the attire that best embodied a woman's beauty, symbolizing the brightness of a young girl in her prime; and finally, the grand, large-sleeved ceremonial gown reflected a woman's aesthetic orientation—graceful, elegant, and graceful.
If nothing unexpected happens, there will be two more chapters today."
