Chapter 204 and the gift

The second day was Jiang Ting's ceremony. Last night, she couldn't sleep for a long time. She only slept for about an hour in the second half of the night, and was called up by Mother Zheng and Mother Wang.

Last night, because of Jiang Yong's sudden return, she hadn't finished learning what she should do on the ceremony. Therefore, the two M Mothers woke her up early in the morning and retrained her while there was still time in the morning.

But Jiang Ting didn't sleep well and was woken up again, and her mental state was naturally extremely poor. She had thick dark circles under her eyes and listened to the two empresses whispering in her ear. She often forgot the previous one after listening to it. Five mistakes were made after rehearsing a set of itineraries.

Well, there were not many procedures to go with the ceremony. Her task was summarized in only a few steps: first, she walked into the auditorium under the attention of many spectators and met the elders and heaven and earth under the guidance of others; then knelt down and listened to the famous and blessed elders singing, and asked the Quanfu people to help her cut her hairpin; finally, after inserting the hairpin, she put on what adults could wear. Pretend and accept the blessing of the audience, and it's over.

But that's all she did, but she did it, which made the two M Mothers very helpless.

"Girl, why don't you go back to sleep for a while?" Mother Wang couldn't stand it anymore and said.

Jiang Ting paused and shook her head and said, "No, I'll fall asleep later. I'm afraid you can't wake me up. If the time passes, it's not good. In this way, Chuntao, you go and ask someone to prepare a basin of ice water.

Chuntao subconsciously bent her knees, but she was stunned again in a blink of an eye: "Girl, what do you want people to prepare for ice water?"

"I use it to wash my face and refresh myself. Today is very important. I can't make mistakes. Jiang Ting rubbed her eyebrows and waved her hand and said, "Go quickly, remember to get clean water and ice."

"Girl, the weather hasn't turned warm yet, how can you wash your face with ice water?" Mother Zheng shook her head at Chuntao first, signaling that she didn't have to go, and then persuaded Jiang Ting: "If the girl wants to refresh herself, there are many ways. I think it's better to let someone make a cup of strong tea to refresh the girl.

Jiang Ting said with a wry smile helplessly, "Mary, I have drunk a bellyful of strong tea, but it's useless at all. Let's use ice water to stimulate the nerves and wake up.

M Mother Wang also shook her head and said against it: "No, if the girl catches a cold after using ice water, she will get cold. Isn't it different and humiliating to sneeze in the auditorium? Let's do it another way."

When Jiang Ting thought about it, she couldn't help sneezing. She fell crookedly on the couch, looked at the two M Mothers with trouble, and asked, "This method is the fastest and most effective. If it doesn't work, what should I do?"

M Mother Zheng and Mother Wang looked at each other and looked at Jiang Ting hesitantly and said, "Why don't Aunt Su make a bowl of slightly spicy hot and sour noodles for you? I remember that every time the girl finished eating that, she was very energetic.

Jiang Ting's eyes lit up, jumped up and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this method is good. Chuntao, go and ask Aunt Su to make a bowl of hot and sour noodles and send it to her. This time, it should be spicy and put more!"

Chuntao responded and hurried to the kitchen to talk to Aunt Su. When Aunt Su heard that the girl wanted to eat hot and sour noodles in order to wake up, she couldn't help crying and laughing. She looked at Chuntao and replied, "Go and talk back to the girl. The hot and sour noodles will be fine in a moment. However, if she really wants to refresh herself, why don't she just lick this Chaotian pepper?

Aunt Su said and handed Chuntao a slender and red dried pepper. Although this thing is always available in the kitchen, Jiang Ting rarely eats spicy food, so there is a lot of stock. Chuntao was stunned after taking the pepper. She thought that it seemed to be quite refreshing to lick the pepper directly, so she took it back. Fortunately, she saved her girl in the middle of the journey. Aunt Su was mostly joking with her, so she was not really stupid enough to give Jiang Ting the pepper to refresh herself.

After eating a large bowl of hot and sour noodles, Jiang Ting was indeed more energetic. The impact of the sour and spicy taste makes her feel that her whole pores are relaxed and hot, which is really refreshing. With the spirit, it will naturally be much faster to learn things. Originally, she also learned the rules well, but she should remember not to make mistakes in key places. Basically, there is nothing to worry about.

When the time came, Wen asked someone to call, and Jiang Ting took the two M Mothers to the main courtyard together. However, she entered through the back door of the main courtyard and went to the ancestral hall to worship her biological mother Li Yuer and the ancestors before turning to the front to the auditorium.

Before entering the auditorium, you should remove your coat and go in to salute. Nowadays, the weather is still cold, so Jiang Ting can't really wear a thin coat to salute. It's just courtesy, and she can't wear a thick coat to go to the hairpin.

For good reason, it is not difficult for the two M Mothers. They prepared a wide middle coat for Jiang Ting early, and inside the middle coat was a well-made close-fitting jacket and thin cotton trousers. When Jiang Ting first put it on, she couldn't help sighing: It's the ancient version of thermal underwear!

Therefore, when Jiang Ting walked into the auditorium in a plain white dress, although she looked a little thin, her face was normal and her lips were ruddy, and her posture was straight and her steps were calm, and she looked very good-looking.

However, what others don't know, when she just looked up and stepped into the door, she almost ran away. Because there are too many people. This is the main hall of the main courtyard of Houfu. If you withdraw the tables, chairs, benches and screens in the hall, it will be four serious rooms, which are about 200 square meters in size. But such a hall room is actually full of people!

Although most of those people are the girls who came with their wives. But even so, it must be roughly estimated that there are 20 or 30 wives and daughters-in-law present. Jiang Ting was very suspicious. Didn't she say that she only invited a few familiar people to watch the ceremony? Why are there so many people all of a sudden?

However, at this time, she doesn't have time to care about these strange things. Therefore, Jiang Ting pressed her doubts and followed the girl who acted as the master of ceremonies into the auditorium.

The auditorium is decorated in the main hall. Although there is no gorgeous decoration, the incense platform kneeling mat and other things are arranged in strict accordance with etiquette, which looks very solemn. After Jiang Ting followed in, she first worshipped heaven and earth, and then met the elders. Because Jiang Yong was not here, she only worshipped Wen.

Then, as soon as the elders who presided over the ceremony stood up, Jiang Ting was directly stunned. Originally, the candidate she agreed with Wen was Mrs. Wen, and the Quanfu person in charge of helping her hairpin was Wen's eldest sister. But now, the elder who came out to sing the ceremony is the old lady of the Duke of Xinguo Mansion; the blessed person who wants to help her hairpin is Princess Qing; and the one who is eager to try to help her hair is Princess Pingning!
