Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth
Chapter 506: Coming of Age Ceremony (1)
After all, in this prosperous and flourishing Tang Dynasty, people as blessed as Aunt Zeng are rare.
However, when people saw Aunt Zeng actually appearing on the side of the bride, doubts in their hearts suddenly surged like a tide.
So everyone started whispering to each other, curiously asking around to find out who the real Zhengbin was.
The main guest of honor at the coming-of-age banquet is usually a female elder who is of noble status and has both moral integrity and talent.
Because the main guest plays a vital role in the entire coming-of-age ceremony.
She not only needs to have noble moral cultivation, but also needs to accumulate rich life experience.
More importantly, the main guest must be able to recite beautiful and pleasant blessings with rich emotion, personally put on the hairpin symbolizing adulthood for the person coming of age, and give sincere blessings.
Generally speaking, the specific duties of the main guest cover multiple aspects.
First of all, she has to assist the host in carefully selecting all parties involved in the coming-of-age ceremony, including the host himself, the girl who is about to have the coming-of-age ceremony (the coming-of-age recipient), the sponsor who will assist in the ceremony, and the many guests who come to watch the ceremony.
Secondly, the main guest needs to recite corresponding blessings at each stage of the coming-of-age ceremony according to the established etiquette process.
These greetings are full of profound meaning and beautiful words, and are intended to convey the best wishes and expectations to those who are about to reach the age of 15.
The last moment is the most solemn one - the host personally puts an exquisite hairpin on the bride's head, completing this ritual act with special significance.
At each stage of the coming-of-age ceremony, there are extremely sophisticated and detailed process arrangements.
One of the most crucial steps is for the host to personally comb the hair of the bride and carefully add exquisite hairpins or hairpins.
Every action and every embellishment contains deep blessings and expectations.
This series undoubtedly fully demonstrates the important position and indispensable role of the main guest in such solemn ceremonies.
It seems that in a complete coming-of-age ceremony, the role played by Zhengbin is truly extraordinary!
So, one can't help but be curious, which respected person did Gu Yan invite to take on this important task?
It was not until two days before the coming-of-age day that the Gu family suddenly realized what was going on - it turned out that Gu Yan had successfully invited Master Cheng's sister to come out and serve as the main guest!
But who exactly is this mysterious woman?
After some investigation, it was discovered that she was the first female teacher famous in Da Qi - Cheng Qingmeng!
Not only that, her other identity is even more amazing: she is the wife of the Duke of Wei.
Who could have thought that the guest invited by Gu Yan this time would have such a respected status and weight.
Faced with such a sudden surprise, the Gu family seemed a little at a loss for a moment.
You know, for a relatively less prosperous place like the Tang Dynasty, isn't a guest of honor of this standard a bit too grand?
Fortunately, Gu Cheng is knowledgeable and experienced after all, and he can always remain calm and composed after going through many hardships.
He smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Yunniang. Since Yan Ge'er has successfully invited the guests, we just need to do our best to entertain them."
These words were like a stabilizing force, making the Gu family members present feel a little relieved.
Indeed, as Gu Cheng said, this not only reflects that Yan'er, as an elder brother, attaches great importance to his sister's coming-of-age ceremony, but also shows the dignity and grandeur of the Gu family.
As long as everyone performs their duties, strictly follows the etiquette standards, and ensures that the entire process is detailed and appropriate, that will be enough.
Thinking in this way, Wang's originally nervous mood gradually calmed down, and she regained her former calmness, elegance and generosity.
Yes, it is a great blessing to have such a capable guest of honor to help my daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony!
This also means that the marriage of my daughter will definitely not be too bad.
After all, for a girl, who doesn't hope for a good marriage?
On this day, the wife of the Duke of Wei came with her younger brother, Master Cheng.
On the Gu family's side, Gu Cheng and his wife brought Gu Yan to the front hall to welcome the guests early in the morning for the coming-of-age ceremony.
When most of the guests had arrived, Gu Cheng, the father, slowly stood up, smiled, clasped his fists and saluted the guests, and began to speak: "Thank you all for taking the time to come and attend my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. I would like to express my deepest gratitude!"
Upon hearing this, all the guests stood up to return the greeting, saying some polite words.
After these formalities, Gu Cheng cleared his throat and said loudly: "Now, I declare that the coming-of-age ceremony has officially begun. Please invite today's coming-of-age winner, my daughter Qing Zhi, to come in and greet all the guests!"
As Gu Cheng finished speaking, the sponsor Gu Manxiu walked out gracefully, went to the west steps to wash her hands, and then stood in a dignified manner.
Then, today's protagonist, the bridegroom Gu Qingzhi, dressed in simple and elegant clothes, walked out slowly with graceful posture and light steps.
Her pretty face was lightly made up, making her look even more radiant and charming; her beautiful eyes were as clear as water, and her gaze was full of radiance, showing the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
She walked to the center of the venue with great grace, bowed gracefully to the guests watching the ceremony from the south, then turned around, faced the west, and knelt solemnly on the seat for the bride.
At this time, Gu Manxiu stepped forward and gently combed Gu Qingzhi's long hair that was like a waterfall.
Soon, her hair was combed neatly, and Gu Manxiu gently placed the comb in her hand on the south side of the mat.
At this moment, Gu Qingzhi's heart was beating like a deer, nervously.
She couldn't help but lift her eyes and secretly glance towards the table, and she saw her parents and brother at a glance. They all had smiles on their faces and looked at her tenderly.
Feeling the warm gazes of her family, Gu Qingzhi's originally flustered mood gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath, lowered her eyes slightly, and waited quietly for the upcoming hairpin ceremony.
At this moment, the wife of Duke Wei, who was sitting nearby, stood up first. Seeing this, Gu Cheng and his wife also stood up hurriedly and walked towards the bottom of the east steps together.
The three of them washed their hands first, then wiped them carefully with a silk handkerchief.
All of these were done to make full preparations for Gu Qingzhi's upcoming coming-of-age ceremony, and the atmosphere on the scene was solemn and dignified.
After everyone bowed to each other according to etiquette, the wife of Duke Wei and Mr. and Mrs. Gu Cheng returned to their seats and sat down, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
