Chapter 1570: Coming-of-Age Ceremony 3 (16)
The ceremony was held in the courtyard of the Yang Family’s small building. At this moment, a red carpet was already laid out in the courtyard, with chairs placed in the center. Dong Wenxiu and Dong Wenming were already seated there, with Yuan Mengzhu and Lin Xiaoling sitting on two chairs beside them.
Kneeling cushions were placed in front of them.
As soon as Yang Ruxin walked out, everyone’s eyes brightened. Everyone knew that Yang Ruxin was pretty, but since she usually dressed in the simplest of clothes and rarely wore skirts, with her hair casually tied in a braid behind her, she was more plain than any girl in the village. So, unless people constantly stared at her face, they wouldn’t be particularly dazzled.
But today was different. The flowing long dress, the exquisite brow and eye makeup, the transcendent temperament... each was breathtaking.
At this moment, many people truly realized that Yang Dani was indeed a pearl, which, even if it fell among fish eyes, would eventually shine.
Watching her outstanding daughter slowly walk out, Dong Wenxiu’s eyes were moist, and she couldn’t help but recall all the events of the past years, flashing scene by scene in her mind, her heart filled with myriad emotions.
"Xiuxiu, it’s starting." Dong Wenming hurriedly reminded Dong Wenxiu in a low voice.
Dong Wenxiu returned to her senses, suppressing her emotions, stood up, and nodded slightly to the surrounding villagers and guests: "Today my daughter Ruxin is holding her coming-of-age ceremony. Thank you all for attending! Now, the coming-of-age ceremony of my daughter Yang Ruxin officially begins. Please welcome Xinxin to meet the guests."
Yang Ruxin walked to the middle of the red carpet, bowed to everyone, and then knelt down on the kneeling cushion.
Yu Qingge took a deep breath and hurriedly went up to comb Yang Ruxin’s hair. After symbolically combing it a few times, she set the comb down. Lin Xiaoling and Yuan Mengzhu stood up together at this moment, with Lin Xiaoling carrying a tray covered with red silk. Yuan Mengzhu walked up to Yang Ruxin and recited the ceremonial blessing in a loud voice: "On this blessed day, you don your adult attire. Abandon your childish dreams and embrace your virtuous composure. May you live a long and peaceful life, blessed with great fortune."
