Chapter 431: Coming of Age Ceremony

The last time Song Jinxiu got married, time was tight and only a few representatives from Songjia Village came.

For this coming-of-age ceremony, the old patriarch of Songjia Village had made preparations early on, and he and a group of clan representatives, dozens of carriages, and more than 200 people came in a large crowd.

Although there is only one scholar, Song Fusheng, in Songjia Village today, there are sixteen students.

Sixteen! The old patriarch is so happy!

I brought them all this time.

Let them show their faces in front of the Crown Princess and let them know who gave them happiness?

The sixteen students are all good prospects. Perhaps in a few years, they will become sixteen scholars and sixteen juren.

They couldn't even dream of becoming the top two in the imperial examination, but even if they did, with Song Jinxiu around, it would be easy for these kids to get a government job.

Furthermore, the younger children were sent to school from the age of five or six. The school even had a new martial arts department, so the children could cultivate both literature and martial arts.

Treat boys and girls equally.

Children are taught from a young age: "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness", with the goal of "cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world".

If this continues generation after generation, the Song family will become more and more prosperous.

All of this was brought by Song Jinxiu.

Therefore, with Song Jinxiu's coming-of-age day in mind, the old patriarch brought his clansmen to Beijing early.

The grandfather and grandson have not seen each other since Song Jinxiu left Songjia Village, and he misses the child.

On the day the old patriarch came to Beijing, the Song Chunsheng brothers and the younger people of the Jin generation went to the city gate to welcome him.

Song Jinxiu also took time out to have a meal with the old patriarch.

Looking at the graceful young girl in dragon robe, the old patriarch was so excited that he was speechless.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

The only word he could say was "good" to express his feelings.

After dinner, the grandfather and grandson closed the door and talked in private for a while.

Song Jinxiu's status is different now and she has a heavy burden on her shoulders, so the position of the patriarch of the Song family was given to Zhang Zihan.

At first, the old patriarch had his eyes on Song Chunsheng.

But her brother was busy preparing for the military academy and had no time for anything else. Besides, her brother was still young, and Song Jinxiu didn't want him to be distracted. The preparations for the military academy were the top priority. So, it wouldn't be too late to gain a few more years of experience.

Zhang Zihan is a prudent person. Since he has recognized his second grandfather as his own, he is a member of the Song family. He has no choice but to work for the development of the clan.

Moreover, the Zhang family is too selfish. Even though Song Jinxiu has placed Zhang Zihan in the position of patriarch of the Song family, he can still be so cruel as to completely abandon the Zhang family.

Of course, if the Zhang family has a good seedling and he wants to support it, Song Jinxiu can also give preferential treatment.

A good seedling, no matter whether your surname is Zhang or Song, is a pillar of Cangwu.

Song Jinxiu said, "Now that he's the patriarch, his sense of responsibility towards the Song family clan has become even greater."

The old patriarch stroked his beard and said, "Well, I understand what Your Highness means. Zhang Zihan is a good boy. He is the patriarch of our Songjia Village. When he is old, it won't be too late for Chunsheng to take over."

She's still thinking about her brother! Song Jinxiu smiled.

Song Jinxiu checked the old patriarch's health again and found that he was in very good physical condition.

The old patriarch's body seems to have rejuvenated, and his physical functions are quite good.

He smiled and said, "After eating the pills you gave me, I can now eat and sleep well. Every day at noon, I can even take a stroll around Songjia Village."

This is daily exercise.

Song Jinxiu was very pleased. The old patriarch could be said to be a wise and upright old man, and Song Jinxiu sincerely hoped that he would live a long life.

The Crown Princess's coming-of-age banquet was grand and celebrated throughout the country.

Of course, the happiest person was Su Mo.

The twenty-year-old young man was full of vigor and vitality. After his marriage, he went in and out with the little girl and slept in the same bed with her every day.

For such a long time, he only dared to touch the little hand, and occasionally took advantage of the girl's sleep to steal her sweet lips, and he had to take a few cold showers.

Now, after much anticipation, the little girl has finally reached the age of marriage.

Jigui means that a maid has grown up and can become someone's wife.

Song Jinxiu fasted in the Eastern Palace three days in advance, abstained from meat and fish, bathed and changed clothes to show her piety.

Early in the morning, Yingchun helped Song Jinxiu change her clothes and dress up.

Today is her coming-of-age day, and she needs to change into three sets of clothes.

Su Mo sat aside, holding a dressing box in his hand, looking at Song Jinxiu with a silly smile.

Song Jinxiu's face flushed with laughter. She glared at him shyly, "What are you laughing at?"

Why is this guy acting like an idiot?

Su Mo quickly sat up straight, but he still wanted to laugh out loud.

After he comes of age, he will be able to eat her up tonight.

Well, we also have to prepare the wedding wine, and sprinkle walnuts and peanuts on the bed.

Also, take a peach blossom bath yourself, the little girl likes the fragrance.

……

Because she is the crown princess, Song Jinxiu has to go to the royal ancestral temple to pay homage first.

The royal ancestral hall is majestic and solemn, and its shape is like an eight-diagram furnace.

This was not the first time Song Jinxiu had entered the royal ancestral hall, but this time, she felt vaguely uncomfortable.

Is it because the body of a person at the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage is more sensitive to the cold and yin energy?

Song Jinxiu glanced at the bright sky and followed Liu Renxiu into the ancestral hall.

Because the doors and windows of the ancestral hall are closed all year round and there is no sunlight, as soon as you enter, it seems as if the temperature is three or five degrees lower.

There was no wind, but the air was filled with a heavy chill.

Liu Renxiu washed his hands, burned incense, and prayed.

The smoke curls up, impatiently rushing straight into the sky.

Song Jinxiu washed her hands and burned incense.

The smoke curls up into the sky.

Liu Renxiu nodded with satisfaction, but Song Jinxiu noticed something strange in the smoke.

It was as if the cigarette was being smoked by someone.

Song Jinxiu pinched her fingers, because her body, which had long been unafraid of cold or heat, suddenly felt a chill.

She frowned and looked around. There were six dragon pillars in the ancestral hall. The dragons on the pillars had heads high and spit out dragon balls from their mouths, as if they were paying homage and offering sacrifices.

Song Jinxiu couldn't help but narrow her eyes and contacted the treasure-hunting rat Junjun: "Come and take a look, is there anything wrong with these dragon balls? By the way, bring Xiaobai in as well. Be quiet and don't alarm anyone."

According to the information Junjun sent her last time, Song Jinxiu also had some basic knowledge of some formations.

But I only have a superficial understanding of it.

But she could still tell there was something wrong with Panlong holding the pearl and Panlong spitting out the pearl.

What is Dragon Ball?

"Dragon Ball" is the inner elixir formed by the dragon's cultivation, and it is also the source of the dragon's magical power. With the "Dragon Ball", the dragon can change infinitely and be full of magical power.

The dragon is the symbol of the royal family.

The dragon holds the pearl in its mouth, which means piety, trust, and worship without losing one's self.

However, the meaning of dragon's saliva is quite different.

The spitted-out dragon ball represents a sacrifice.

If a dragon loses the dragon ball, it will lose its power. Sacrificing the dragon ball is like sacrificing its life.

Because she suspected that the Holy Maiden of the Cui family had stolen the fortune, Song Jinxiu didn't dare to be naive and think that this was caused by a mistake.

In the royal ancestral hall, there are actually dragon beads on top of the coiled dragon pillars. This is not an accidental mistake!

This must have been done on purpose!
