Chapter 180: The Weak and Sick Beauty Has Strong Martial Arts Skills 2
The little girl looked a little shy, but suddenly she felt like she was actually quite useful. She patted her chest proudly and said, "Don't worry, sister. I've already injected a bit of merit into your body. From now on, under the nourishment of this merit, your health will get better and better!"
"However, this is an ancient plane with many restrictions. Just like the modern world before, you need to seal your mana, and you also need to abide by the original owner's settings and the basic rules of ancient times."
"Tsk, trouble."
"Also, Master, today is the original owner's coming-of-age day."
Seeing it looking for praise, Le Di couldn't help laughing, "Okay, it's time to get down to business."
"Uh, what is this coming-of-age ceremony?" Le Di was unusually confused.
Little Dumpling cleared his throat. It finally had a place to use it! "Sister, this Jigui ceremony was held in ancient times when a girl turned fifteen. After that, she could talk about marriage. Most wealthy families would have this ceremony."
"Since today is the original owner's coming-of-age ceremony, there will definitely be many people there. My cheap fiancé should also be there. Let's go meet him."
It was also Le Di's first time to come to such an ancient setting and she was curious about everything... It was also the first time she heard of the coming-of-age ceremony.
……
"Xi'er, are you ready?" The Prime Minister's wife is thirty-two years old this year. Her face is a little pale, but she still has her charm and beauty. At this time, she walked into her daughter's room with a happy look on her face.
Gu Xi was the original owner's maiden name.
"Mother." Le Di stood up and called sweetly.
The lady's face showed relief and reluctance, but she suppressed her emotions and asked, "How are you feeling lately?"
"Mother, my daughter is fine."
"Okay, okay." Mother Gu said okay again and again.
"Your complexion looks a lot rosier. So, mother can rest assured." Mother Gu took the hair comb and pinned her daughter's hair with a kind face.
……
The coming-of-age ceremony began. At the banquet, the heroine had not yet appeared, but An Fengmo, who was sitting below, could no longer sit still.
"Tsk." He looked impatient.
The friend next to him teased, "Why? The Prime Minister and his wife treasure the only daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion so much, and you're already impatient to be married to her?"
An Fengmo grabbed his hair with his hands, his expression softened slightly, but he said nonchalantly, "We haven't even met that woman, and she came here because my mother forced her to."
"Oh, I heard that the woman is a famous beauty with both beauty and talent. Even though she is a little weak, it doesn't matter."
An Fengmo didn't comment, and his bony fingers tapped lightly on the rim of the wine glass from time to time.
After a while, Gu Xi finally appeared.
She wore a long golden crabapple-tail skirt with a wide-sleeved shirt with a green gauze pattern, and a gold-threaded hairpin with beads on her head. She had a delicate and small face, cherry lips and a beautiful nose. The most beautiful thing about her was her eyes that were always watery. Perhaps because she had been taking medicine all year round, the girl was surrounded by a faint medicinal fragrance.
An Fengmo raised his head casually, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and after this look, he could no longer look away.
A breeze blew in from the window, lifting the hem of her skirt. The girl happened to be bathed in the sunlight, and the gold threads on her skirt sparkled.
Everyone watching this scene admired the girl's beauty.
Gu Xuanzhi, as her elder brother, was naturally present as well. He spoke first, his lips curled up slightly with a subtle tenderness, "My younger sister is coming of age today, and as her elder brother, I would like to present a gift to her first."
The servant next to him called out, "Master Gu, give my sister a set of silk woven cotton screens, a pair of exquisite jade hairpins, a pair of red jade earrings, a pair of magpie pearl flowers, and a pair of twisted wire bracelets!"
When Le Di saw these exquisite jewels, her eyes lit up and she smiled, "Thank you, brother!"
Gu Xuanzhi chuckled softly, his eyes doting.
The others finally came to their senses, and gifts and treasures were given out one after another, including Anjia.
An Fengmo stood up and walked forward, "Miss Gu is now fifteen years old, and the marriage can be held as scheduled. I would like to give this jade pendant to you." He smiled happily, and a blush appeared on his handsome face.
Le Di blinked and looked at the boy. The boy was only seventeen years old this year. He was wearing a red dress with a black belt, and his long hair was tied up high. He looked handsome and elegant.
Le Di looked at the jade pendant. It was a mandarin duck heart-shaped pendant. The jade pendants originally came in pairs, and now one had been presented. The other...
The other jade pendant, made of white and fine quality, was hanging on the young man's waist...
Le Di smiled and looked into the boy's dark eyes, which contained tiny glimmers of light.
