In a blink of an eye, the day of Tang Wan'er's hairpin ceremony came.
The Tang Mansion was very lively, with lights and colorful decorations indoors, and the old lady was even more overjoyed. The girl officially became an adult after giving her hairpin ceremony. This was also a good time to curry favor with Tang Jie. Therefore, starting from the early morning, people in the Tang Mansion came one after another.
Someone is visiting.
Tang Wan'er was dressing up surrounded by maids.
Her dress today is more grand than usual, more feminine and less shy. She has bright red lipstick on her mouth, and a lot of rouge and gouache on her face.
When Tang Wan'er looked into the bronze mirror, she didn't even recognize herself.
She was used to looking at this beautiful face. Unexpectedly, today, when she was wearing makeup, Tang Wan'er suddenly felt that the person in the mirror had nothing to do with her.
She sighed.
The Tang Dynasty has also made preparations for the hairpin ceremony. The more grand a person's hairpin ceremony is, the more important the woman is in the family.
There is a washroom in the main hall, and an incense table is set up in front of the washroom. The curtain-enclosed room is placed in the northeast of the hall, which just separates the side halls.
Seats for guests to sit on their knees have also been set up.
When the lady presiding over the haircut ceremony waved her hand, the haircut ceremony officially began.
The invited band officials began to play music.
Because Tang Jie was a bachelor, he invited Butler Lefang to join in the fun. However, Mr. Lezheng Wang Dewang was not present. It seemed that he did not want to have a deeper relationship with Tang Jie.
At this time, Mother Xu, the nanny beside the old lady, led Tang Wan'er into the east room.
After waiting for all the guests to sit down, Xu's mother led Tang Wan'er to the main hall, followed naturally by a group of maids.
Tang Wan'er entered with unsteady steps, then saluted everyone, and knelt down in front of the high hall.
At this time, the person responsible for combing Tang Wan'er's hair was the fifth lady, who was the "one plus" of Hairstyle.
"Today is an auspicious day, and Yuanfu will be added. Abandon young ambitions, and become virtuous. Cultivating virtue will increase longevity, and it will be auspicious and prosperous. Groom the youth, be respectful and modest. Virtue and gentleness, happiness and fortune will last forever."
After reading this blessing, the fifth lady symbolically combed Tang Wan'er's hair and tied it up.
Then, the fifth lady took a bun from the plate of the maid holding a hairpin behind her and put it into Tang Wan'er's hair.
Then, Tang Wan'er bowed and knelt before her elders.
Next, Mother Xu led her back to the east room and put on dark clothes.
With the addition of blessings, the second stage is completed.
At this time, the musicians in the band started playing again. The guests were also eager to complete the ceremony as soon as possible.
Chen Zenli also attended Tang Wan'er's coming-of-age ceremony as a guest.
It's a pity that Tang Wan'er didn't look in his direction.
In fact, Tang Wan'er didn't like this kind of ceremony.
What disappointed her was that she didn't see Qi Ying. She had promised that she would come to watch the ceremony, but he didn't show up at all!
Perhaps the Tang family is snobbish and feels that Qi Ying is just a businessman and not qualified to be a guest. However, Qi Ying is so powerful that it is not difficult to achieve her wish! Just follow Princess Heshuo!
Tang Wan'er thought angrily and tightened her grip on her clothes.
However, Princess Heshuo and King Yan have not yet appeared in the Tang Mansion.
Either they won't come, or the big shots only show up last.
However, Tang Wan'er doesn't feel that she has any friendship with her eldest sister Tang Ning.
Tang Waner still felt a little disappointed. However, the third item of the ceremony was about to continue. The reality brought her thoughts back.
