Su Jingsheng was really happy, running around the yard, showing how excited he was at the moment.
But he was really drunk, and he was crooked and looked so funny.
On the one hand, everyone laughed at his embarrassing appearance, but on the other hand, they also felt that his years of waiting had finally paid off.
At this moment, even Wu Bokai, who had always disliked Su Jingsheng, felt a little emotional.
Although he was extremely reluctant to let his daughter get married, he also saw Su Jingsheng's sincerity.
If my daughter must get married, she should be happy if she marries him.
Thinking of this, he looked at his grown-up daughter, saw the smile between her eyebrows, and gave up his original plan to make things difficult for Su Jingsheng.
Because of this incident, Su Jingsheng, who had originally planned to take his brother back to the capital after attending the birthday party, did not leave.
Instead, he stayed and planned to wait until Wu Tongtong's coming-of-age ceremony and engagement were completed before leaving.
Even Little Bell stayed for more than two months.
The coming-of-age ceremony can be said to be one of the most important ceremonies in a girl’s life, so it is prepared with extra care.
Pei Huan memorized the process several times, fearing that he might say something wrong.
Considering that Su Jingsheng was already quite old, the two families discussed and decided to hold the coming-of-age ceremony and engagement ceremony on the same day.
Wu Tongtong's coming-of-age ceremony was held in the morning. After the ceremony, Su Daocheng brought his son to deliver the betrothal gifts.
The betrothal gifts were all accumulated slowly by Su Jingsheng over the past few years. They included a variety of items, but each one was carefully prepared.
Pei Huan and Su Daocheng also doubled their amount on this basis.
Nowadays, this betrothal gift is unique even in the capital.
This also shows how much importance this family attaches to Wu Tongtong, and this importance makes Wu Bokai very satisfied.
On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, there were many people coming and going.
Such a grand ceremony would be more lively if more people came, so the Wu family sent out a lot of invitations, and basically all the prominent families in Chen'an Prefecture came.
Of course, some came to congratulate, while others had other intentions.
It was exactly what Pei Huan said. Wu Tongtong's background was absolutely top-notch in Chen'an Prefecture. In addition, her appearance and personality were also exceptional, so naturally many people liked her.
Therefore, there are definitely quite a few people who want to find out the Wu family’s intentions today.
Pei Huan glanced at Su Jingsheng standing beside him, "Look, you really should thank me, your mother! If I hadn't tricked you that day, you might not even have the chance to say it.
Look at those young masters who followed, they are so eager to put chicken feathers on their bodies to attract attention, look how proactive they are, and then look at you!"
Su Jingsheng looked embarrassed as he was being scolded, "Oh, mother! Can we not talk about what happened that day? I, I actually have a plan.
Didn't you see I brought all the betrothal gifts this time? I just wanted to come after Tongtong's coming-of-age ceremony was over.
However, you have helped me a lot. At least, I know that Tongtong feels the same as I do. Hehe.
Those people can't threaten me now! I personally take care of the big flowers, how can I let them pick them? "
Su Jingsheng was rarely showing off, which made Pei Huan burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, you're awesome. Go check everything again. There are so many people here, we can't let anything go wrong."
Su Jingsheng didn't stay, nodded and turned to leave.
The process of the coming-of-age ceremony is not too complicated, but it does take time to go back and forth several times to perform formalities and change clothes.
The whole process took more than an hour to complete.
When the coming-of-age ceremony was over, Su Daocheng changed his previous guest demeanor and arrived at the Wu family's door with the ceremonial guard that had been waiting not far from the door, beating drums and gongs.
Wu Bokai and Xia Yan had been waiting here for a long time.
The movement here attracted everyone's attention, and many people didn't understand what was going on for a while.
It wasn't until someone saw the official media behind Su Daocheng that everyone understood what was going on.
For a moment, many people felt very disappointed.
The two families had already discussed this, they just needed the official media to go through the motions, say a few nice words, and exchange the two red envelopes with the birth dates of the two children written on them, which would make it more appropriate.
In addition, Su Jingsheng also handed over the marriage certificate written by himself.
After that, the master of ceremonies read out the betrothal gifts.
The long list of valuable books, calligraphy and paintings, as well as various precious jewelry and silk clothes displayed immediately stunned everyone.
Naturally, people in the backyard could not hear the hustle and bustle in the front yard.
But with the servants constantly passing on messages, it is also possible to imagine it.
Xiao Lingdang sat next to Wu Tongtong with a joking look on her face, "Sister Tong! Congratulations, you are really getting engaged to Senior Brother today.
Maybe I can even attend your wedding by the end of the year, hahahaha, then I will definitely give you and Big Brother a big gift!"
Wu Tongtong's face flushed. "Oh, you are such a bad girl, teasing me at this time!"
"Hahaha, alright alright, I won't laugh at you. But, Sister Tong, my senior brother is really good, you will definitely be very happy in the future.
But don't worry. If my senior brother bullies you one day, just tell me and I will beat him up for you. He definitely can't beat me.
Don't worry, I'm definitely on your side."
Wu Tongtong was moved and grabbed her hand. "Yes! Thank you, Xiao Lingling. I think he won't bully me."
Little Bell smiled and patted her hands without saying anything else.
However, looking at the noise outside, she inexplicably missed someone and felt empty in her heart.
Strange, could it be because I haven’t been to the border for a long time?
She didn't think too deeply about it, just thinking that she missed the scenery of the border, and continued to happily fantasize about the future with Wu Tongtong...
