Chapter 285: The melons at the coming-of-age ceremony

Everyone suppressed their excitement and slowly entered the arranged seats.

They didn't forget that today was the coming-of-age ceremony of Princess Ningping, so they couldn't just eat melons, they still had to do the business!

Old Lady Qin and Lady Lu brought Qin Yue and followed the crowd into the Jinyang Princess's Mansion.

It was Qin Yue's first time to see the Princess's Mansion, so she naturally felt very novel. She looked around and sighed in her heart along the way.

[Sister, this Princess's Mansion is different! It's grand! It's low-key! It's also noble in its low-keyness! It's also very big!]

The system echoed: [After all, it's the Princess's Mansion, it must be big and good!]

Everyone chattered all the way.

Flowers and plants, rockeries and lakes, pavilions and corridors, all became the objects of everyone's praise.

In short, everything about the Princess's Mansion is great!

The ladies and young ladies who followed the Qin family smiled all the way...

I didn't expect that the little official and the old sister were so cute when they were not eating melons. It was so fun!

After everyone was seated, the coming-of-age ceremony officially began soon.

Princess Jinyang was wearing a solemn and gorgeous dress, which was more solemn than her usual dress.

She held a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing in her hand, which was densely written with words of blessing. Her red lips slightly opened, and her cold voice slowly reached the ears of everyone present.

The usually cold voice seemed to have a burning temperature at this moment, containing her emotions and expectations for Princess Ningping, which almost made Princess Ningping, who was waiting on the side, cry.

If she was not afraid of ruining her makeup, she would definitely cry in her aunt's arms.

Next, the sponsor combed Princess Ningping

's hair and put on a hairpin. Everyone saw a kind-looking old woman, supported by a nanny, slowly walking up to the stage.

After everyone recognized the person, they were all shocked!

Princess Ningping's sponsor turned out to be Mrs. Zhou from the Chengen Marquis's Mansion!

You know, this Mrs. Zhou is not a simple person!

Back then, a big event happened in the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion, and it was Madam Zhou who stood up and supported the entire mansion. After that, she gradually faded out of the sight of the people in the capital.

But even if Madam Zhou did not have the background of the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion, she was also an extremely outstanding legendary woman. Madam

Zhou was born in a scholarly family. She had been reading poetry and books since she was a child. She was a famous talented woman in Jiangnan.

Why is she legendary?

Because she founded the first girls' school in the Southern Dynasty! It

was the first of its kind in the Southern Dynasty!

Now that girls' school is still operating normally. After graduating from the school, many women either stayed in the school as apprentices and taught to pass on the torch, or returned to their families, or walked out of the backyard to do many things that only men did in the past, such as accounting or doing business on their own.

It can be said that everyone in the girls' school has walked out of their own path, no longer trapped in the back house, and used their own strength to liberate their own lives, and also contributed their own women's power to the Southern Dynasty!

And Madam Zhou, who founded the girls' school, was naturally admired by all the women in the Southern Dynasty!

It was not until Madam Zhou married into the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion that she gradually faded out of everyone's sight.

After that incident, Madam Zhou once again stepped forward and carried the banner of the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion alone, once again reminding everyone of the independent, courageous and talented Jiangnan talent! The

great woman who founded the first girls' school!

But after that, the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion became low-key, and rarely participated in banquets in the capital.

However, in the hearts of the women in the capital who knew about Madam Zhou's deeds, Madam Zhou's heroic appearance in those days is still unsurpassed!

So the older ladies present were very surprised to see Madam Zhou.

Unexpectedly, Princess Jinyang actually invited Madam Zhou, who had not appeared for a long time, to give the Ningping Princess a hairpin.

It is really enviable to have such a wonderful woman give a hairpin!

The ladies forgot to eat melons for a moment, and looked at Madam Zhou on the stage with shining eyes.

Seeing this, Madam Zhou smiled and responded one by one.

Just when everyone was sighing with infinite emotion, Qin Yue was also sighing.

[Ah! Sister, this old lady looks so kind! ]

Madam Zhou on the stage was about to pick up the jade hairpin that had been prepared on the side, and suddenly heard a child's voice, and subconsciously looked down the stage.

Without much effort to find, Madam Zhou easily found the different child from the crowd.

Looking at her with sparkling eyes, very smart and cute.

Presumably, this is the little lucky official in the legend.

Unexpectedly, the legend is true. She could actually hear the little lucky official's voice, so soft and sticky, which directly touched Mrs. Zhou's heart, making her want to hug this little lucky official who is as cute as a glutinous rice dumpling.

Then, Mrs. Zhou heard a slightly stiff voice ringing in her ears.

System: [Host, the old lady on the stage is Mrs. Zhou from the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion! ]

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou probably understood that this voice should be made by the old sister in the legend.

Alas, she really hasn't been out for too long. She only heard the rumors. Now she can really hear and feel the truth of the rumors. She can't help but feel a little moved in her heart. Maybe today she can also be a badger in the melon field.

Shaking her head, she tried not to care. Old Madam Zhou inserted the jade hairpin accurately into the hair of Princess Ningping.

As soon as she let go of the jade hairpin, the system's voice rang again.

[Host, this old Madam Zhou is about to die.]

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Old Madam Zhou shook her head bitterly. At her age, she didn't have much time to live, but if she passed away, what would Yang'er do?

That incident was a huge blow to him. More than a decade later, Yang'er still couldn't get over it.

She has been in control of the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion these years, closing the door to visitors and keeping a low profile, so that Yang'er would be isolated from the gossip of the outside world as much as possible. If not, Yang'er would have been shattered by the sound of spitting long ago.

What's more, there is such a worrying mother who doesn't care about her son and tries every means to attack and blame Yang'er all day long.

In order for Yang'er to live well, she also issued a death order, not allowing the irresponsible mother to have any chance to contact Yang'er.

But now, my sister said that she was going to die...

If she died, how would her Yang'er survive...

The ladies around were even more shocked when they heard what my sister said.

Especially the ladies who knew about Madam Zhou's deeds, they couldn't accept it from the bottom of their hearts! Although

Madam Zhou looked like she had a head full of silver hair, she was actually less than 50 years old. How could she die?

Qin Yue was also very surprised, [Sister, this old lady looks so kind and amiable, how could she die? ]

Everyone: Yes! How could she die?
