Of course, even if you really want to run - you can't.
At about 1140, Jiang Shang sent someone to invite Lin Chou and Sikong to the east room.
Two hundred years after the Great Cataclysm, Mingguang has passed down and evolved many ancient rituals and systems.
The east room refers to the room east of the main hall, which is mostly used as a room for the children. For a large family like the Jiang family, the east room where the Jiang daughter lives is simply a whole connected villa built based on the main building of the Jiang family. It is only smaller than the Jiang family.
The main building where the main hall is located is slightly shorter.
The entire East Room villa is built with pure white marble, and the shape is grand yet gentle and delicate. It can be seen that this East Room was built specifically for the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. The shape of this villa is not for men at all.
Lin Chou thought to himself, if he remembers correctly, the Jiang family has an eldest son. It is clear that there is an east bedroom, but there is no such thing as a west bedroom. Is Jiang Zi'i doing this, not afraid of his own son being jealous?
When you get closer, you can see that each piece of marble is carved with complicated patterns. Above the main entrance, the pattern is vaguely coiled into the word Xi'e.
Sikong pointed to the two beautiful cursive characters on the door, "Ahem, cough, cough... maybe today will not be in vain."
"What do you mean?"
"illiteracy."
Sikong walked in first.
After entering the door, there is a bright hall, which is extremely wide, and hundreds of people can enter it without feeling crowded at all.
Twelve marble columns hold up the dome, and a set of huge crystal ceilings hangs down from the dome. Facing the door is an extremely wide curved staircase that almost wraps around the four walls of the villa.
In the hall, there are several sofas, flowers and ornaments, and the decoration is unexpectedly simple. Guests from all walks of life are chatting and laughing in it, their eyes drifting towards the stairs from time to time, full of expectation.
"It really is..."
Lin Chou couldn't help but chirp, is Jiang Nu living alone in this villa?
It’s enough for hundreds of people to live here!
"Everyone!"
Jiang Ziyi stood on the highest platform of the stairs, tapping the goblet with the silver spoon, making a crisp sound.
His face glowed brightly and he said loudly, "Today, my little daughter Jiang Mingzhu is having her haircut ceremony. I am honored to have all of my relatives, friends and guests here. It is a great honor. Now, let me invite my little daughter Jiang Mingzhu to enter."
A dazzling figure walked out from behind Jiang Ziyi.
Lin Chou couldn't help but open his mouth, "This is... too exaggerated!!"
It's really dazzling and makes people's eyes sore.
Jiang Mingzhu is wearing a white evening dress. Every texture and fluffy fold is inlaid with sparkling diamonds. Against the backdrop of the crystal lamp, countless facets shine with dazzling brilliance. The ginger girl with skin as white as snow stands out against it, like an ice sculpture.
Snow carving.
Jiang Zitao gently held Nv Jiang's shoulders and helped her walk down the curved stairs step by step. The four maids behind him gathered the tail of her skirt that was trailing on the ground.
"Wow."
Applause suddenly exploded from all directions.
"This girl from the Jiang family deserves to be called a pearl!"
"So beautiful...."
Suddenly, the ethereal sound of the guzheng sounded, rising from low to high, as if it was about to pierce the clouds, and then turned into a gurgling stream at a very high place, with a silvery white line falling straight down.
Lin Chou turned around and saw that a group of maids had laid out a large straw mat. There were three sets of clothes placed on the straw mat, which were obviously needed for the hairpin ceremony.
Next to the straw mat, an ivory-white guzheng was placed. Bai Suren, wearing a plain white ceremonial robe, was slightly bowing in Lin Chou's direction.
When he raised his head, his brows were bright, his bright eyes were captivating, his crimson lips were about to speak, and his hands kept moving, and strings of beautiful musical notes were swayed.
Lin Chou felt like she was struck by lightning and couldn't help but scream, "Fuck, fuck!"
Fortunately, he was quickly drowned in applause.
Jiang Nu and Jiang Ziyi have already arrived on top of the straw mat. Jiang Shang is holding a square plate in his hand, containing ribbons and other accessories, as well as three essential things for women's hairpin ceremony. They are arranged in order: hairpin, hairpin
, hairpin.
The more powerful the family, the more particular they are about adult hairpin etiquette. The more basic ones include picking clothes and adding hairpins three times, corresponding to hairpins, hairpins, hairpins and three sets of clothes respectively.
Clothing with haircuts added three times has different meanings, symbolizing the growth process of girls:
Picking clothes, the pure color of the clothes symbolizes the innocence of girls, which is what Jiang Nu is wearing now.
Chujia, hairpins and ropa, as well as a light and elegant undershirt, symbolize the innocence of cardamom girls.
In addition, hairpins and dignified dark clothes with curved trains symbolize the beauty of young girls in the blooming season.
Three additions, and finally the ceremonious hairpin crown, ribbon and other accessories as well as the long-sleeved ceremonial dress are graceful, elegant and elegant.
Three combs and three changes in the midfield are supplemented by one bow and two additions, two bows and three additions, three bows and a wine ceremony, listening to the instructions and bowing, and finally the ceremony is completed.
According to Mingguang legend, if a woman is not a strong-bodied woman or simply an evolved person, the child will basically be useless after this method, and the child will be weak if he cannot get out of bed for three days.
It's interesting to watch at the beginning, at least you can look forward to the time when the eldest lady changes clothes... Ahem, who knew there was a set of airtight little clothes inside? At this moment, all the men in the room were heartbroken.
Click sound.
Lin Chou was sure that he heard Zheng Mingshuang's curses not far away, and he kept mumbling.
By the time Jiang Shang announced the completion of the ceremony without changing his expression, six hours had passed, and everyone present let out a long breath—it was finally over.
Lin Chou looked at Jiang Shang with eyes full of admiration. He stood meticulously for six hours, his hair not messed up, not a drop of sweat, awesome!
Sikong greeted Lin Chou on the large sofa. With his half-disabled physique, who would dare to let him stand for six hours?
The servants had already moved in the comfortable sofa and the coffee table filled with hearts - this boy was the most comfortable among everyone present.
"Lin Chou, was Butler Jiang Shang here to invite you?"
"right."
Sikong suddenly realized, "Hey, no wonder you fell into trouble. Do you know that this old housekeeper is an awakened person?"
"kindness?"
Lin Chou was stunned. He had checked it that day and found that Jiang Shang did not have the unique aura of an evolved person at all. He was not even a warrior. His physique was very weak. This was the reason why he admired the old butler.
Sikong pointed and said, "Jiang Shang, a fifth-level awakened person. His physique is about the same as that of a first-level evolved person. His awakening talent is affinity."
Affinity??
"Hehe, Butler Jiang is very powerful. Just throw him and a group of fifth-level evolved people into a pile of high-level alien beasts. I can guarantee that the last person to survive will definitely be him."
When Sikong said this, he was friendly...pro...fuck!!
No wonder I am handsome...
Is this old fella the kind of bug who is born with full affection towards all NPCs?
Sikong chuckled and said, "Hmm, doesn't it feel weird? There is nothing in this world that cannot be done in business that Butler Jiang cannot negotiate."
"Why don't you send him to the pile of living corpses and beasts, and in one sentence, let them all kill themselves, tsk tsk."
Sikong's eyes were strange, "Old housekeeper is friendly, not manipulative...Boss Lin, you are thinking too much."
