In ancient times, men's crown ceremonies and women's jiu ceremonies were very formal and had many requirements. There are many requirements for venues, uniforms, ritual utensils, and music.
In modern times, although the coming-of-age ceremony still needs to pay attention to some traditions, it has also undergone new changes.
Just for the venue, it doesn't have to be done in the family temple like in ancient times. Now, it is even possible to hold it in the open air.
Leng Mei's coming-of-age ceremony this time was held in the courtyard of Leng's family because there were so many attendees. After all, the Leng family compound has more than 1,000 square meters, and the place is extremely empty.
The venue for the coming-of-age ceremony was arranged in the very center of the courtyard, where a small one-meter-high stage had been arranged.
Leng Mei's father, Leng Feng, and mother, Zheng Hongmei, stood on the east steps of the stage and waited for the guests, while a master of ceremonies dressed in ancient bachelor's uniform stood under the west steps of the stage. With their appearance, the classical music "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water" began to play.
The coming-of-age ceremony for seeing Lengmei has already begun, and the guests began to gather in the direction of the stage. However, everyone stopped a dozen meters away from the stage.
At this time, the three guests invited by Leng Feng and Zheng Hongmei rushed over. The three guests are all respected female elders. Among the three, Lu Zhong knew only one person, and she was Zhao Yuanyan's wife Xiao Yujie. The other two Lu Zhong didn't know each other well, but both of them had a kind of family demeanor. It shouldn't be a simple character.
?The three honored guests appeared, and Leng Feng and Zheng Hongmei rushed forward to greet them and salute, then the honored guests sat in the honored guest seats, and the other guests also sat in the viewing seats under the leadership of the Leng family. When everyone was in their positions, Leng Mei's father began to walk onto the stage. .
Leng Feng is a very handsome and elegant middle-aged man. He was dressed in a neat suit, looking very energetic and refreshed. After scanning the surrounding area with both eyes, he picked up the microphone and gave a short speech: "Today is the 18th coming-of-age ceremony for my little girl Lengmei, thank you all the guests and friends for coming! Next, the coming-of-age ceremony of my little girl Lengmei will officially start! Mei enters the venue to meet all the guests and friends"
Then the gaze of the people turned to a path paved with red carpet behind the stage.
The cold eyebrows in a long pink dress, wrapped in the coldness and indifference of a winter, walked onto the stage step by step.
?Leng Mei went to the venue, faced south, and bowed to the guests. Then sit on your seat facing west. The cousin Dongfang Linglong combed her hair. Then, after a series of etiquettes such as three additions and three bows, he will be juxtaposed with his father Leng Feng and his mother Zheng Hongmei, and Leng Feng will announce the completion of the ceremony to all the participants.
After the coming-of-age ceremony was completed, the banquet officially began. As the protagonist of tonight's banquet, Leng Mei was quickly surrounded by a group of guests. First, the elders give Lengmei red envelopes or birthday gifts.
After that, it was the turn of some wealthy people who came to the ceremony to give gifts. However, because those who came to participate in the ceremony had been warned by cold seals before, they did not dare to take out the more expensive things that violated the taboo. Besides, with Zheng Hongmei, the head of the Hongmei Group, how could the Leng family value the gift money you gave?
Therefore, these rich people and officials who give gifts are very conscious.
?As for friends of the same generation who participated in the ceremony to give Leng Mei a birthday gift, it was arranged at the end.
"Sister Lengmei, I wish you a happy birthday. This is my birthday present to you. I hope you will always be beautiful."
Zhou Xiongfeng finally waited for the adults in front to leave before rushing in front of Leng Mei. He first called Leng Feng, Zheng Hongmei, Uncle Leng, and Aunt Zheng, then handed Leng Mei a box the size of a fist.
"Thanks."
Hearing that Zhou Xiongfeng actually called himself Sister Lengmei, Lengmei frowned slightly, nodded slightly to Zhou Xiongfeng, and asked the servant in charge of receiving gifts to accept the gift box.
"Sister Lengmei, open it and have a look, this is a gift that I put all my heart into making for you." Seeing that Lengmei didn't even look at the gift he gave, Zhou Xiongfeng said anxiously.
Although Leng Feng on the side doesn't like this kid's character, he doesn't care about it with the younger generation, and this little guy's father is the richest man in Yancheng, so Leng Feng is also very face-saving. Seeing that Zhou Xiongfeng was in a hurry, he couldn't help smiling, and said to Leng Mei: "Girl, open it and have a look, and see what gift this boy Xiongfeng gave you."
"Okay!" Leng Mei didn't like it, but he didn't want to be rude on this day, so he answered, picked up the brocade from the side and started to fight.
But seeing the purple light flickering in the brocade box, an amethyst bracelet appeared in Leng Mei's eyes.
Seeing Leng Mei open the box, Zhou Xiongfeng said quickly: "Sister Leng Mei, I ordered this amethyst bracelet from a jewelry store. The price is not expensive, but it is very beautiful.?? The memory is over
Leng Mei opened the gift box, saw it was a picture scroll, couldn't help but move in his heart, and slowly opened the picture scroll.
Post stations, ancient roads, howling north wind, fallen dead branches, carriages, plum blossoms that are proud of snow and frost
A kind of ancient charm rushed forward, and even the cold eyebrows could feel an extreme coldness coming from the scroll.
Then Lu You's "Bu Suanzi && Yongmei" also fell into Leng Mei's eyes.
?Beside the broken bridge outside the station, lonely and uninhabited, it is already dusk to worry alone
What impresses is Dong Qichang's calligraphy!
And it is the essence of Dong Qichang's calligraphy, the elegant atmosphere can let you feel it at the first time.
What's more important is that this pair of calligraphy and painting still has the signature of the author: Lu Zhong wrote it for Leng Mei's 18th birthday on February 13th, Yimo
Shock!
Heartfelt joy!
Leng Mei felt that this was the most precious gift he received today.
"Sister, let grandpa take a look, let me take a look at Xiaozhong's calligraphy and painting" At this time, Zheng Tianle rushed over with an excited face, almost reaching out to snatch it from Leng Mei's hand.
Zheng Tianle's achievements in Chinese studies are quite high, not to mention the antique calligraphy and painting that he has played with all his life, and his appreciation ability is second to none in the entire Yancheng City.
After seeing the general situation of the painting and calligraphy in Leng Mei's hands, one can feel that the painting and calligraphy skills are extremely strong. Yes, very excited.
Leng Mei could understand his grandfather, and of course he wanted to see his grandfather's evaluation of this painting and calligraphy, so he quickly handed the painting and calligraphy in his hand to Zheng Tianle. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
