Chapter 257 Wanting and Hairpin

If time flies by, it will be July [-]th of the same year again in a blink of an eye.

On this day in previous years, the triplets were all birthday girls and protagonists, but today, Mimi is the real protagonist.

The haircut ceremony, a woman's coming-of-age ceremony, is one of the most important ceremonies in a woman's life.

Early that morning, after Wanting took a bath, she changed into clothes and shoes, and then she waited quietly in the east room.

The guest of honor was a highly respected old lady surnamed Mo who was in her sixties, and the congratulator was Princess Xiaoyao, the grandmother.

After the guests were seated, Ouyang Yiyun, the father, opened the ceremony. After the princess washed her hands, Wanting came on the stage and saluted the guests, and then the princess combed her hair.

Next, there is a complicated process.

First add, start Canadian dollar service. After the guest of honor combs his hair and adds a hairpin, and the person who praises does it, he goes back to the east room and changes into the corresponding plain clothes and skirt. He comes out of the room to display, and then bows to his parents to express his gratitude for their upbringing.

Two plus, it's Shen'erfu. The person who praised the ceremony went to get a hairpin, and the person who praised it received a hairpin. The person who praised the ceremony went back to the east room to change into the corresponding dark clothes with deep skirts and deep skirts. They left the room to show them. Then they bowed twice and bowed to the guest to show respect for their teachers and seniors.

Three plus, salt plus take. The person who likes it gets his hairpin worn, the guest of honor gets a hairpin crown, the person who likes it wears his crown, he goes back to the east room to change into a corresponding long-sleeved dress, goes out of the room to show off, and then bows three times, bowing to the heaven and earth, to show his integrity.

After a set of procedures, Li Xiaoguang felt tired as he watched them. He was secretly glad that he was on the road when he was born, so he could only keep things simple, otherwise he would have been very tired.

And this is not the end. After three plus three bows, the ceremony is followed by placing the wine, offering the wine, writing the hairpin, listening to the instructions, and bowing to the person holding the hairpin, and finally the ceremony is completed.

Every link is not just a sentence or two, or an action or two. Every link is a well-behaved and upright etiquette. It really allows Li Xiao, a soul from another world, to see ancient etiquette. of complexity.

Fortunately, at the end of Shenshi, after seeing off the last guest, the busy day could finally come to an end.

In the evening, the family still gathered together to celebrate the triplets' birthdays. During the day, Ziheng and Zisheng deliberately lowered their presence, just to give all the attention to their sister.

Now in the evening, only their own family members are present, and the two of them are no longer low-key. They have a lively meal together, eat cakes together, talk, laugh, and play together after the meal, and happily act like birthday girls.

Although Wanting was extremely tired this day, she was also satisfied.

Growing up in a wealthy palace, with such a family that loved and cared for her elders, and growing up healthily and smoothly, what could she be dissatisfied about?

Until she fell asleep in bed, the corners of Wanting's mouth were still slightly raised, and she had a good night's sleep.

After Wanting got married, starting in August, more and more ladies asked the princess or Li Xiao about Wanting's marriage. Wanting, the person involved, had no idea about this.

Before, she asked her father to help her look out for small courtyards for sale in the south and west of the city. Now, after a few months, she finally found two suitable places.

On this day, she planned to go to the scene to see it in person.

Li Xiao naturally did not stop his daughter from going out, but he also arranged for two guards to follow her closely. There are two small courtyards, one in the west of the city and one in the south of the city.

When they arrived at the place, Wanting discovered that the courtyard in the west of the city was only two streets away from her grandfather's house, but it was on the edge of the west of the city.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances, but it is neat, clean, and well-furnished. It is small and exquisite, and the surrounding environment is quiet and quiet. It is suitable for students preparing for exams.

However, Wanting did not make an immediate decision, but asked the people from Yaxing to take her to see the courtyard in the south of the city.

The population in the south of the city is densely populated. Although there are some merchants or official households with poorer families here, most of them are ordinary people. Therefore, the courtyards in the south of the city are mostly small courtyards, and they are really small courtyards.

The courtyard that Ya Xing took Wanting to see was a small courtyard once entered. In addition to the main hall and kitchen, there are four rooms, but they are extremely small. Luo Yun's family of three could fit in, but if there were more people, it would be crowded.

However, the price of this small courtyard is not high, only one hundred taels. This is also because the owner is eager to return to his hometown and resell, otherwise he would have to pay around twenty taels more in the past.

Wanting didn't have much idea about money. Twenty taels was just her monthly allowance for a month. What she needed to consider was the situation of Luo Yun's family.

Luo Yun mentioned in his previous letter that his family currently has less than [-] taels of savings, which is sufficient for living in the capital, and the yard can accept a price of less than [-] taels at most.

This small courtyard is more suitable for his needs, but Wanting secretly prefers the second courtyard in the west of the city.

Although the second-entry courtyard is a second-entry courtyard, it is not large in area and is located on the edge of the west of the city. The asking price is not expensive. The owner of the house offers three hundred taels. If we negotiate, it is not impossible to lower it.

Wanting thought about it for a long time, and finally settled on the courtyard in the west of the city for two hundred and eighty taels. In addition to tables, chairs, benches, etc., the original owner also left a set of mattresses and quilts in each wing. Regarding this, Wanting still Quite satisfactory.

After paying the money, Wanting was ready to return to the palace. The next matter could be left to the people below to handle it.

In the days that followed, Wanting still went to class every day, and then studied housekeeping with her grandmother. Her life was very fulfilling.

At the same time, in Northern Xinjiang, Luo Yun was busy in the fields from time to time in addition to his daily classes.

Li Xiao and his wife sent [-] potato seeds to northern Xinjiang. After a winter of hiding in the sand, when spring turned warm, [-]% of the selected high-quality seeds were sent to several places suitable for planting potato seeds, and large-scale planting began. , General Zhenbei was unwilling to waste the remaining [-]% of the seeds, and actually distributed them to several other cities for them to try planting.

August is the harvest season for potato seeds in northern Xinjiang. Luo Yun works in the Zhenbei General's Mansion on weekdays. He is naturally busy with the harvest of potato seeds.

As Li Xiao and his wife guessed, the yield of potato seeds in northern Xinjiang is far less than that in southern Xinjiang, but on average, the yield per mu is nearly [-] kilograms, and the yield for better harvests is already [-] kilograms.

Even in the cities that are not suitable for planting, there is a harvest of [-] to [-] kilograms per acre. After removing the seeds, it is still a net profit of [-] to [-] kilograms!

Such a harvest made everyone in Northern Xinjiang extremely excited.

When the news of the great harvest of potato seeds in Northern Xinjiang came to the capital, the emperor was also very happy. He even said a lot of praises for Ouyang Yiyun and his wife during the morning court. The reward was also moved into the palace as soon as possible after the morning court. Yunxiao courtyard.
