Chapter 368: Participating in the Coming-of-Age Ceremony
Duke Wei also prepared two boxes of gifts, both for Song Yaoyao.
Song Yaoyao thought about it and accepted them all.
Song Yaoyao gave a few more instructions, and then Duke Wei and the others left.
After the person left, Song Yaoyao counted the silver notes, and found that there were a total of 100,000 taels. This was really a large sum of money.
Song Yaoyao casually gave Madam Song 10,000 taels:
"Mother, because of Wei Wei's matter, the servants in the mansion have been busy for so long, it's time to reward everyone.
In addition, Wei Wei and his friends also spent a lot of money on food and drink during their stay in the mansion.
You can take this ten thousand taels.
In the future, more people will come to seek medical treatment, and mother will have to worry more about their food and drink."
Mrs. Song didn't want it at first, but since her little girl said so, she accepted it.
Before, when the little girl was just able to leave the house, Mrs. Song was afraid that she would want to buy anything new she saw and that she would spend money recklessly, so she took all her money and helped her save it.
Now that the child has grown up, Mrs. Song has discovered that her little girl has her own ideas and has never spent money indiscriminately. There is no need for her to help save money now, she can just keep it for herself.
Mrs. Song was also prepared to return all the money she had saved for her daughter when she had the chance.
Song Yaoyao looked at the banknotes in her hand. She was going to give ten thousand taels each to Li Mingyu, Zhuang Yiran, Pang Fei, and Doctor Li.
Everyone has worked hard during this period, and this is what they deserve.
The remaining 50,000 taels belong to Song Yaoyao.
Song Yaoyao opened the box again and took a look. It was filled with top-quality materials, new models of jewelry, and a few antiques.
Song Yaoyao collected a lot of jewelry, and those antiques were also collected by Song Yaoyao.
By the way, last time, because he discovered the disadvantages of inbreeding, the emperor rewarded Song Yaoyao with a lot of gold and antiques, and those rewards really touched her heart.
Mrs. Song asked Song Yaoyao to put those things away herself.
After Song Yaoyao selected what she needed, Mrs. Song put away the remaining items in the two boxes.
Song Yaoyao was about to leave the front hall when Madam Song called her and said:
"Tomorrow is the coming-of-age ceremony for the daughter of General Shenwu, and we have received the invitation.
Tomorrow is your day off, so go with mom."
"it is good."
It was the first time for Song Yaoyao to attend someone else's coming-of-age ceremony, and she really wanted to go and see it for herself.
It is said that the emperor discovered that the former great general Sikong Ce was a remnant of the previous dynasty. After he was captured, a general named Shen became the new great general.
What Mrs. Song was talking about was the coming-of-age ceremony of the newly promoted daughter of the great and mighty general.
Song Yaoyao sighed:
[Guagua, we can go to the feast again! ]
Guagua: [Host, why are you so obsessed with feasting? ]
Song Yaoyao: [It’s not obsession, it’s because the banquet was really delicious, there were many dishes, all made by famous chefs, and the taste was delicious.
Guagua, you can’t eat it. If you could eat it, you would probably be more enthusiastic than me. 】
Gua Gua: [You know I can’t eat it, but you still talk about having a feast every day.
You did it on purpose!
You can go away now. 】
Song Yaoyao: [Are you jealous and envious? ]
Guagua: [Xiao Songzi, you can go now! ]
Song Yaoyao: [You are Little Songzi, your whole family is Little Songzi.
It made me feel like a eunuch in the palace. 】
Guagua: [My last name isn't Song, how can you call me that? ]
Song Yaoyao: [Then I will call you idiot, idiot.]
Guagua was furious:
[You are the idiot, you are the fool.]
You are not allowed to call me that! 】
Song Yaoyao: [Got it.
I won't call you a idiot, and you are not allowed to call me Xiao Songzi. 】
Guagua: [Deal.]
Song Yaoyao had already walked away. Mrs. Song listened to the conversation between her little girl and Guagua and shook her head.
Over such a trivial matter, the two of them started arguing again.
The next day, Mrs. Song took Song Yaoyao and Song Qingling to the Shenwu General's Mansion.
After Song Yaoyao and the others were brought into the mansion, Mrs. Song started greeting the ladies she was familiar with.
Song Qingling and Song Yaoyao followed closely behind Mrs. Song.
Song Yaoyao discovered that many boys and girls came today:
【There are so many people today! 】
Guagua: [Host, do you know that in Tianfeng Country, there is another way to say the coming of age ceremony? ]
Song Yaoyao asked curiously:
What is the saying?
Guagua: [The coming-of-age ceremony is a blind date in disguise.]
Song Yaoyao: [Ah? There is such a saying? Why haven’t I heard of it? ]
Gua Gua: [Yes, this is what is said about the coming-of-age ceremony for girls in the Tianfeng Kingdom!
Today I will talk to you about the coming-of-age ceremony.
Jigui means that the girl has grown up and can get married.
At the beginning of the Jiji Ceremony, if the person who holds the ceremony does not have a fiancé yet, she can choose her future husband after the ceremony.
If the protagonist has a crush on a man, he can ask someone to find out more about the relationship. If the man is also interested, the two families can sit down together to discuss the engagement.
If the woman is already engaged, this step can be skipped.
Later on, it evolved into that not only the protagonist, but also all the guests attending the coming-of-age ceremony who were not engaged could choose each other. If both parties were interested, they could arrange a time for the two families to sit together and discuss the engagement.
Of course, those who can attend the coming-of-age ceremony are from similar circles and their family backgrounds are not too different, so it is rare for such blind dates to be rejected due to the large difference in family backgrounds. 】
Song Yaoyao: [I see.]
But this is the first time I've heard of a coming-of-age ceremony being equivalent to a blind date. 】
Guagua: [You have been locked up in the mansion, it is strange that you know these things? ]
Song Yaoyao: [No wonder there are so many people here today! ]
Gua Gua: [Today’s protagonist, the legitimate daughter of the mighty general, is said to be still unengaged.
The reason why so many people came today is that they all came to see today's protagonist.
This is the coming-of-age ceremony for the daughter of a second-rank military commander. If she is favored by her master and has such a father-in-law to help her, how many years of hard work will she have to save? 】
Song Yaoyao: [That’s true.]
What Song Yaoyao didn't realize was that there were already people standing around her.
As soon as these onlookers arrived here, they saw Song Yaoyao and they surrounded her one after another.
There are a lot of people coming today. I wonder if they can eat fresh melons with Princess Jiahe today?
They are so looking forward to it!
Song Qingling looked at the extra people around her, her eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything!
Song Yaoyao saw someone walking in at the door and shouted:
[Guagua, did you see that? My man is here! ]
Guagua: [What are you yelling about? I’m not blind, I can see it!!]
Everyone followed Song Yaoyao's gaze towards the door and saw Liu Zheheng who had just entered.
Liu Zheheng also heard Song Yaoyao's thoughts and looked up to look around.
