Dressed as a big boss Bai Yueguang, God does not allow salted fish to lie down

The Qi family held an engagement ceremony for their eldest daughter Qi Wanying and invited many guests to witness the ceremony. They also invited Su Yuejian. The two families had met because of the last Spring Banquet, so the invitation was a natural thing to do.

Now Su Yuejian has to be extremely careful when going out to attend any banquet or meeting, for fear of being tricked by others.

Before going out, necessary preparations still need to be done.

For example, when she went to Nanny Qin for tutoring, she knew nothing about the Qi family's background or the etiquette of betrothal.

Nanny Qin looked at Su Yuejian lovingly and said patiently, "The Qi family's biggest supporter is Concubine Qi Hui in the palace. She is less than 30 years old and has a daughter named Yaer, who is a favored little princess.

Qi Huifei's family had no official status. The head of the Qi family, Qi Qianyuan, ran the largest liquor brewing business in the country. It was no exaggeration to say that he made a fortune every day.

The Qi family has only one legitimate daughter, Qi Wanying. I heard that she has been engaged, which is considered a high-class marriage. Her husband is the legitimate son of the Wenchang Earl's family.

The Qi family also has a bastard son, Qi Zhao, who is the one who runs Zui Linglong in the capital."

Hearing the last sentence, Su Yuejian's eyes lit up. This was just like someone giving you a pillow when you were sleepy.

"Can men watch the betrothal ceremony?" Su Yuejian thought that maybe she could meet Qi Zhao tomorrow.

Nanny Qin smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? The ceremony of coming of age is a relatively private and solemn ceremony. The participants are generally female guests, and only direct male elders can watch the ceremony."

So that’s how it is. I didn’t expect that a coming-of-age ceremony has so many details to pay attention to.

Nanny Qin paused for a moment and continued, "This ceremony of getting married is to put a hairpin in the bun, changing the hairstyle of childhood, indicating that the girl has reached adulthood and is ready to get married.

After the engagement, the ceremony of the girl's hairpin is called the engagement hairpin, and she is given a courtesy name. If a girl is over 15 years old and has not yet been engaged, she can also have the hairpin ceremony, which is called the unmarried hairpin. After the unmarried hairpin ceremony, she does not take a courtesy name, so the girl at this time is also called "waiting for a courtesy name in the boudoir", which means she has not yet been married.

It turns out that aristocratic families attach so much importance to girls’ coming-of-age ceremony.

Su Yuejian thought, no matter what, she had to find a way to find Qi Wanying to help with the alcohol matter tomorrow.

A good night's sleep.

She got up early in the morning, dressed up, and attended someone else's coming-of-age ceremony. It would be extremely rude to attend without makeup, but she could never accept the popular makeup in Jingguo.

She followed her own aesthetic and stubbornly painted the way she liked, but her makeup was a little more formal.

Today, Su Yuejian put on the kingfisher hairpin awarded by the palace and wore a jade bracelet, which immediately enhanced her elegance and dignity.

Fifteen-year-old Qi Wanying was the protagonist today. She was woken up early in the morning and had her maid dress up before she went to pay her respects to Madam Qi.

Seeing her daughter, whom she holds in her arms, reach the age of 15 and will soon get married, the mother feels both happy and reluctant.

Mrs. Qi was filled with emotion. "How come you have grown up so fast? I remember you were so small back then. I really hope you will never grow up and stay by my side forever."

Madam Qi raised her head and collected the tears in her eyes. "Mother asked your aunt to be your main guest. Are you satisfied?"

"Everything is arranged by my mother."

When Concubine Hui of Qi arrived, Qi Qianyuan and Madam Qi came forward to greet her. After exchanging greetings, they entered the venue with music playing.

The ceremony of getting married officially began. Su Yuejian watched from behind. The whole process: first adding, second adding, third adding, the one who got married, listening to the instructions, and finally thanking the ceremony.

After that, everyone talked, and then there was a banquet. After the ceremony, Qi Wanying found Su Yuejian. It was true that wherever she went, she had a conspicuous bag. The more she tried to be low-key, the more conspicuous she was.

"Sister Su, I should have come to your house in person to express my gratitude last time, but my family was busy arranging a marriage for me, and I haven't had a good talk with you yet! You won't blame me, will you? Ping'er has always said that she would find a chance to repay you."

"I, the servant Ping'er, thank Miss Su for saving my life! I will never forget your kindness! In the future, if Miss Su needs me to do anything, Ping'er will definitely repay her for her kindness!"

Having said that, Ping'er knelt down and bowed to Su Yuejian.

Su Yuejian still couldn't stand the habit of kneeling at every turn, so she hurried to help him up.

"Sister Qi is too polite. Under the circumstances that day, no one would stand by and watch someone die. It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning.

Ping'er, you may have suffered an unprovoked disaster. The bad guys have been punished. You should live your life well and stop thinking about repaying others all day long."

The matter of repaying the debt was not mentioned at this point, and Qi Wanying introduced Su Yuejian:

"This is my close friend Mei Xiuqing, the daughter of the head of the Hanlin Academy. She is also my supporter today."

"Hello, Sister Mei!" Su Yuejian greeted her obediently.

"Xiuqing, this is my new friend Su Yuejian, the daughter of the Imperial Censor Su Yuzheng. I'm sure you've heard that her medical skills are exquisite."

"Hello, sister Su. We often talk about you. You are the only girl from an aristocratic family in Beijing who lives the most carefree life. We are all very envious of you.

Seeing her today, I can see that my sister’s temperament is indeed pure and elegant, like a banished immortal.

Please post to us often and come play with us in the future."

Su Yue was socializing with these two girls, who looked very innocent and natural. Soon, the three of them became familiar with each other.

Su Yuejian began to guide the topic.

"I heard that your Qi family is very good at brewing wine. I wonder if I can have the honor to visit your brewery. I don't mean to peek, I just want to see the distillation process and try to optimize it to produce a higher purity distilled wine for use in our medical skills."

"What's the big deal? Take this token of mine and go to Linglongfang to find my brother Qi Zhao. I'll let him know in advance and let him take you there.

If you can figure it out, my brother might even beg to buy your technology."

"In that case, thank you very much, Sister Qi, for bringing us together!"

……

Two days later, Su Yuejian brought Shaoyao and Qi Wanying's token to Linglongfang and had smooth sailing. She was led by servants into Qi Zhao's meeting hall.

Qi Zhao had heard his sister talk about Su Yuejian at home. He was not very willing to let outsiders visit their workshop, as businessmen have a strong sense of protecting their formulas.

But my younger sister, please, Su Yuejian has done the Qi family a favor before, and there are rumors outside that Su Yuejian is obsessed with medicine. I think such a woman should not come for their family's secret recipe.

Su Yuejian met Qi Zhao for the first time.

The person in front of me was a man in his twenties, wearing a silk gown and jacket, and he looked neat and tidy and energetic.

He was tall and slender, calm and composed, with a warm smile on his face, and bowed with both hands, "Hello, Miss Su. I have heard of your great name for a long time. I often hear you mentioned by my younger sister!"

The first impression of this person is that he is a qualified businessman. On second glance, his smile is always just right, warm and measured, making people feel very comfortable.

"My humble self, Su Yuejian, greets Master Qi."

"Okay, okay. I heard from my sister that you want to visit the winery? Can you tell me why?"
