Chapter 1568: Coming-of-Age Ceremony 1 (14)
The next day, the sky was clear, and Yang Ruxin awaited her fifteenth coming-of-age ceremony.
The Xiaohong Building was bustling early in the morning; not only was the courtyard cleaned spotlessly, but even the road leading to the village was swept.
Everyone donned new clothes, their faces adorned with happy smiles.
Those familiar with the Yang Family naturally attended, and even those who weren’t close wanted to take this opportunity to increase their rapport. After all, the main branch of the Yang Family was at the forefront, making envy impossible.
Never mind that it wasn’t the harvesting season yet; even during busy times, a day or half wouldn’t matter much. Thus, if not the entire village, then close to it, was present.
Du Chengfeng had arranged for people to handle the reception early in the morning, ensuring everything was organized and orderly.
When guests arrived, they all brought thoughtful gifts. Those skilled in embroidery brought insoles or handkerchiefs, and those who weren’t, brought home-raised chickens or eggs.
The value didn’t matter, only the sentiment.
Yang Ruxin knew it would be impossible to stop people from bringing gifts, so she prepared a return gift for each family, a bag of brown sugar.
In this ancient time, sugar was a luxury, costing dozens of coins per pound.
Regarding these return gifts, some people were happy, naturally, while others felt a pang of jealousy, but as long as they didn’t show it, no one cared.
