In the next few days, Wei Hanzhang resisted the idea of going to the next door. He either stayed in his room reading and practicing calligraphy, or went to Jiang's place to chat with his mother. Time passed quickly, and the day came in the blink of an eye. The weather was very good. Wei Hanzhang was woken up by Grandma Sun early in the morning. After packing, he went to Jiang's courtyard under the sun. The mother and daughter talked about the things to pay attention to when performing hairpin ceremony. As the sun gradually rose, guests also came intermittently. The guest of honor at the hairpin ceremony was Mrs. Li, the mother of Wei Heng's friend and colleague for many years. She was a blessed elder with both parents and descendants. She was also the fourth-ranking wife of the imperial court. If the wedding ceremony was held in the name of the Marquis Mansion, the status of the guest of honor would naturally be more valuable. However, the second wife planned it for her daughter and could only rely on the connections of Wei Heng and the Jiang family. Li is already the most suitable elder among the elders Wei Heng can find. As Jiang expected, there were not many guests here today. Not only were there few outsiders, but also the girls who got married in the Wei Mansion. Except for the two first cousins, Wei Hanshuang and Wei Hanye, who came specially to watch the ceremony, the remaining None of my cousins, as well as the Wei family daughters from the previous generation and Wei Hanzhang's direct aunts, made a special trip. There may be some who really can't leave, but the vast majority of them probably think that such a sister/niece whose engagement has been broken off and who is destined to have a hard time finding a good match is not worthy of their special trip. Wei Hanzhang held the hands of his two cousins who had come back early to watch the ceremony, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of Wei Hanyu.
Before marrying to Yuezhou, Wei Hanyu said that if she married so poorly, her sisters in the family might become estranged from her. At that time, she said that Wei Hanyu was too pessimistic... Sure enough, the eighth girl who grew up in the Hou Mansion still sees things more clearly than she does. She would rather complain to her, a cousin who has just returned to the house for the first time, and hold the jade gift from her like a life-saving straw. Wei Heng, who is a biological father, looked at the guests in the venue in groups of twos and threes, his face darkened slightly. It's okay for others to praise others and put them down, but even his daughter's direct grandmother and mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, only sent someone a golden hairpin. She didn't even show her face, let alone his grandfather. Dad didn't take leave today, and he hasn't returned home yet. Wei Heng had long known that his parents were quite critical of his youngest daughter's annulment, but this was no wonder Ran Ran... As an elder, it would be fine if he didn't be more loving and protective. Unexpectedly, even the most important hairpin gift in the girl's family was not given to her. As if unheard. Jiang didn't notice at all that the person next to her was extremely disappointed with her relatives. The mother and daughter didn't care at all who didn't come today. On the contrary, they remembered the people who came one by one. Welcome guests with a smile on your face. The ceremony went smoothly. After Wei Heng solemnly announced the ceremony, the guests sat down safely. Wei Hanzhang slowly walked into the decorated venue and saluted the guests. Some of the admirers combed her hair, and the guests of honor came forward to recite congratulations. Everything went according to plan. Over at Changji Hall, Xiao Junzhan was extremely nervous all morning. He had no intention of dealing with the government affairs in his hands. He was only thinking about what his little girl would look like at her coming-of-age ceremony today. Just as Ning Hai came in with a plate of fresh fruit, he raised his eyes and said, "Ran Ran, what's going on?" Ning Hai had been prepared for it. Hearing this, he whispered: "Zhangmenhou sent someone to send the news. Calculating the time, the hairpin ceremony should have been completed." Xiao Junzhan paused and said, "Have you ever given me my congratulatory gift?" The word "Xian" made Ning Hai stunned when he heard it. Even if he had known how deeply his Royal Highness felt for the girl of the Wei family, he still would not have been able to understand the dignity of the prince calling the gift he had given her a 'offer'. Ning Hai was slightly startled, but he quickly recovered and replied: "The chief minister has received an errand. He is always careful in his work, so His Highness can rest assured." ……………… Just as Xiao Junzhan had calculated, Wei Hanzhang was wearing a hairpin-length dress with a hairpin that represented adulthood on his head. He knelt in front of Wei Heng and Jiang and listened to the teachings. After the hairpin ceremony was officially completed, a burst of noise suddenly sounded in the distance of the venue. the sound of. It seemed that someone was coming this way. While everyone was wondering, a young man wearing the uniform of a servant of the Wei Mansion trotted over from the other side of the path.
Breathlessly, he said, "The chief minister came to the house on the prince's orders to deliver hairpin gifts to the ninth girl. He will be arriving soon. The old lady asked the servants to remind the second master, the second wife and the guests to dress up and welcome them." Hearing this, all the guests in the court fell silent. Jiang was not surprised, but glanced sideways at the young girl beside her, with an obvious smile. Wei Hanzhang was embarrassed by his mother's smile, but he didn't expect that man to be so impatient. He sent her a congratulatory gift right after her haircut ceremony, for fear that others wouldn't be able to see his thoughts. There were not many guests here today, no more than 20 people in total. They were still bringing their families with them, so they were led by Wei Heng and Jiang, who knelt on the blue bricks in the courtyard to receive the order. Just as Wei Hanzhang was about to kneel down, he was stopped by Changmen Hou Xie Li who had already come closer. He bowed slightly and saluted, and said in a respectful tone: "His Highness said, Miss Wei, please just stand and listen." Can." Next to Xie Li was the Crown Prince Wei Huan who was leading the way for him. Hearing this, he was shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked at his little niece who had just grown up. His biological father, Wei Heng, was not much better than his elder brother. He really never thought that the current prince would be involved with the youngest daughter in the family. The only intersection was a casual support a few days ago... Regardless of the fact that his words caused the whole courtyard to drop their jaws in shock, Xie Li stood up straight and said warmly: "Miss Wei, you have a hairpin today. His Highness knows that you are proficient in piano skills, so he has specially sent a minister to offer you a gift." He raised his hand back, and two chamberlains came with him, holding a piano in their hands. There were several rapid breathing sounds all around, and Wei Hanzhang was also slightly startled. Her knowledge of the guqin was not that proficient, but she was able to tell that this vermilion-red guqin seemed to be the legendary 'Ancient Heritage' qin. When I was learning the piano, I heard from my teacher that this piano was kept in the treasury by the royal family. I didn't expect that it would fall into her hands today... Wei Hanzhang deeply expressed his gratitude and asked Luzhu and Lulan to accept the piano. Xie Liyou wanted to do well in front of the future empress, so he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Miss Wei. His Highness asked me to ask you, can we set the date for tomorrow?" He said he was happy, whether he was talking about the happiness of reaching adulthood, or something else... everyone in the room kept guessing. Not to mention the sentence at the end...'Can you do it tomorrow?' Can anything?
What His Highness wants to do tomorrow, he needs to ask the advice of Jiuniang of the Wei family. I have never heard that His Highness has been close to any girl. Could it be that this time... something good is about to happen? (End of chapter)
