Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 508: Named Huizhen, the Ceremony of Coming of Age is Over

Then, Gu Qingzhi faced the ancestral tablet and solemnly performed a standard bow.

This is her third time to pay homage. This ceremony is of great significance, representing her firm determination to pass on civilization and inherit the legacy of her ancestors.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu Cheng, who were standing not far away, looked at their outstanding daughter with gratified smiles on their faces, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Our daughter has grown up!

However, there was another person in the crowd—Gu Qingzhi's nominal brother Gu Yan. His deep eyes seemed even deeper at this moment, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.

Gu Qingzhi in front of him was so breathtakingly beautiful that he couldn't help but have the urge to hide her and not let anyone see her.

His love has grown up...

At this time, the officials in charge of etiquette began to systematically remove the items displayed for the previous coming-of-age ceremony, and quickly set up a banquet of sweet wine on the west steps.

Lady Wei smiled and bowed to Gu Qingzhi, inviting her to take her seat.

Gu Qingzhi nodded slightly, then walked lightly to the west side of the seat and stood facing south.

Then, the wife of Duke Wei moved to the west and prepared to hold a ceremony for Gu Qingzhi.

The whole scene was solemn and festive, filled with a strong cultural atmosphere.

At this time, Gu Manxiu stepped forward, holding the wine in both hands, and slowly handed it to Gu Qingzhi.

Gu Qingzhi turned slightly and stood facing north, her posture dignified and elegant.

At this time, the wife of Duke Wei walked over gracefully, took the sweet wine with a mellow aroma from Gu Manxiu's hand, and then moved to Gu Qingzhi's seat.

With a smile on her face, she turned to Gu Qingzhi and softly recited the blessing: "The sweet wine is rich, and the recommendation is beautiful. I bow and accept the sacrifice, and it will bring you good luck. I will receive the blessing from heaven and live a long and healthy life."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingzhi hurriedly bowed respectfully, her movements light yet solemn.

After the ceremony, she stretched out her delicate hand and carefully took the sweet wine that symbolized blessing and beauty.

Upon seeing this, the wife of the Duke of Wei also bowed in return.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Qingzhi walked lightly and took her seat.

She knelt on her knees and gently sprinkled some of the sweet wine on the ground as a libation.

Then, she held the wine glass, lightly touched her lips, took a sip, and placed the remaining wine on the table.

At this moment, the waiter on the side quickly served the exquisite meal.

Gu Qingzhi nodded slightly to express her gratitude, then reached out to take the food and symbolically took a small bite.

Afterwards, she bowed to the wife of the Duke of Wei again, and the wife of the Duke of Wei also responded with a smile.

After completing this series of rituals, Gu Qingzhi stood up and left the table, standing gracefully on the east side of the west steps, facing south.

At this moment, the whole scene was solemn and everyone held their breath, because the next important moment was to choose a "character" for Gu Qingzhi.

The wife of Duke Wei also stood up from her seat, walked down the steps calmly, and stood facing the east.

At the same time, Gu Cheng and his wife, as well as Gu Yan, also stood up, walked down the steps together, and lined up neatly facing the west.

For a moment, the atmosphere became increasingly solemn.

Finally, the wife of Duke Wei opened her red lips and began to choose a name for Gu Qingzhi.

She recited in a rhythmic voice: "Now that the rituals are ready, on an auspicious day in the month of the month, I will announce your name. Your name is Kong Jia, which is suitable for a gentleman. It is suitable for you to take a leave of absence, and I will protect you forever. I will name you Hui Zhenfu."

When Gu Qingzhi heard the words she had obtained, she showed joy on her face, but she remained humble and replied softly, "Although Huizhen is not smart, I dare not fail to serve you day and night."

After he finished speaking, there was a slight sound of admiration in the audience, and many people praised the word for being well chosen. "Hui" means a virtuous woman, and "Zhen" means a treasure. For a woman, it is a beautiful blessing.

The praises from the crowd seemed to bring this solemn and heartwarming ceremony to a perfect end.

Gu Qingzhi stepped forward lightly and respectfully performed a standard and elegant bow to the wife of Duke Wei, thanking her for choosing a name for her.

The wife of the Duke of Wei smiled and politely returned the greeting. Then she slowly turned around and gracefully returned to her original seat.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Qingzhi.

Gu Qingzhi knelt gently in front of Gu Cheng and his wife. At this moment, the whole scene seemed solemn and dignified.

Gu Cheng gazed at his beautiful daughter, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with tenderness in his eyes, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, his daughter has grown up to this age, and it won't be long before she gets married and leaves home. Gu Cheng's heart is filled with reluctance to let her go...

He cleared his throat slightly and spoke in a gentle and low voice:

"My son, today is your coming-of-age ceremony, which means you have grown up.

Seeing you so graceful and elegant, your father is very happy in his heart..."

Gu Qingzhi knelt quietly, listening attentively to her father's teachings.

Her pretty face revealed a serious and well-behaved expression, as if she had taken every word deeply to heart.

After Gu Cheng finished speaking, Gu Qingzhi responded softly: "Although I am not smart, I will definitely follow my father's teachings and will not slack off in the slightest!"

After saying this, she bowed respectfully to Gu Cheng and his wife.

Next comes the worship ceremony.

Gu Qingzhi stood up and walked to the center of the venue with a dignified pace.

She first bowed to Lady Yingying, the wife of Duke of Wei, and then bowed to the other guests present in turn to express her gratitude.

Whether they were distinguished guests, skilled musicians, or officials in charge of various affairs, or even Gu Manxiu who was watching the ceremony and the many onlookers, she bowed to them one by one to express her sincere gratitude.

Every time Gu Qingzhi performed a gift, the recipient would slightly nod his head to express his return gift and blessing.

In this way, Gu Qingzhi completed rounds of bows in an orderly manner, demonstrating good upbringing and manners.

Finally, all the ceremonies were successfully completed.

Gu Qingzhi, who had been on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and her anxious heart was finally able to relax temporarily.

She walked slowly towards where her parents and brother were and stood shoulder to shoulder with them.

At the same time, all the guests present stood up one after another, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

With a smile on his face, Gu Cheng turned around and faced all the participants, and announced loudly: "Dear friends and relatives, my daughter Huizhen's coming-of-age ceremony has now been completed.

On behalf of the whole family, Gu would like to express sincere gratitude to all the guests for their participation, which made this special day full of joy and warmth! "

Moreover, Gu Qingzhi and her brother bowed to the audience again to express their sincere gratitude...

At this point, this grand and solemn coming-of-age ceremony came to a successful conclusion.
