Rebirth: Phoenix Riding the Ninth Heaven

In the days after her father passed away, Li Ruoyue went to the shop and sat for a few days. During this time, she came into contact with many women who came to see a doctor. They all had various problems. These problems were so embarrassing for them that they could not confide in male doctors. However, as a woman, Li Ruoyue brought great convenience to them. Although these women did not have much money, Li Ruoyue still felt very happy because she helped these people relieve their pain and made them feel cared for and warm.

Li Ruoyue thought about it and decided that she should let Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng help Doctor Chen. So she said to them, "You should continue to follow Doctor Chen for the time being. It's always good to learn more."

Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng exchanged a glance, a flicker of gratitude in their eyes. They knew that Li Ruoyue was thinking about them and wanted them to learn more knowledge and skills.

"Thank you, Miss! We will definitely study hard!" the two said in unison.

In the days that followed, Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng began to learn from Dr. Chen. They not only helped with tasks like picking and decocting herbs and bandaging wounds, but also carefully observed Zhang Jingsheng and Dr. Chen's diagnostic and treatment methods, and asked them various questions.

Doctor Chen was also very happy to teach them. After all, they were all people who truly loved studying medicine. They would patiently answer Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng's questions and teach them some basic medical knowledge and techniques.

During this process, Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng discovered that they were increasingly interested in studying medicine. They began to actively read medical books, research various diseases and treatments, and try to use what they learned to solve practical problems.

Doctor Chen also gradually discovered the potential of Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng. They began to hand over some more complicated cases to them and gave them more guidance and advice.

After a period of hard work, Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng's medical skills have improved significantly. They are now able to independently treat some common diseases and have received recognition and praise from patients.

Li Ruoyue was also very pleased to see their progress. She knew that as long as Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng persisted in their studies, they would become outstanding doctors in the future.

During this process, Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng were also filled with gratitude towards Li Ruoyue. They knew that without Li Ruoyue's help and support, they would not have achieved what they have today. Therefore, they decided to repay Li Ruoyue's trust and care with better performance. This is all in the future. From the perspective of the body now, they are both studying and working hard.

It was a sunny, warm day. Ruoyue was lounging on a recliner in the courtyard, enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet. Suddenly, a maid arrived and told her that Madam Hua had asked her to go to the front yard for an important matter. Ruoyue felt a flicker of doubt at this news, but she got up and followed the maid to the front yard.

Upon entering the front courtyard, Ruoyue saw Madam Hua sitting upright in the main seat, looking relaxed and neatly dressed. Seeing Ruoyue enter, Madam Hua smiled and extended her hand, beckoning her, "Yue'er, come and sit down!" Then, Madam Hua said to Ruoyue, "Yue'er, in two days, the Second Prince's mother will be returning to her parents' home to celebrate her daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. There will be a banquet there. I plan to take you and Ruoliu to the event so you can see the world and get to know the young ladies from the various mansions. See if you can make some friends your own age."

After hearing this, Ruoyue nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. Although she was not familiar with this kind of social occasion, since Mrs. Hua arranged it this way, she must have a purpose. So, Ruoyue decided to obey Mrs. Hua's wishes.

She had also attended this banquet in her previous life, and the scene was still vivid in her mind. Back then, she had just returned from abroad and wasn't familiar with the complexities of the aristocratic families. Li Ruoliu took advantage of the situation and used gossip to sow discord among the guests, leading them to mistakenly believe she was a willful and capricious young lady who bullied her younger sisters.

Li Ruoyue didn't care what others said or how bad his reputation was, but he didn't like Li Ruoliu using his reputation to infiltrate the social circles of the daughters of the aristocratic families. At this banquet, Li Ruoliu made friends with several of the wealthy daughters he admired, who were weak in front of others but vicious behind their backs.

Madam Hua personally brought the best tailors and the finest cloths from Liulifang to the mansion for Li Ruoyue and Li Ruoliu to choose from. When Li Ruoliu arrived, she pretended to be well-behaved and sensible and said, "Sister, you choose first! I'll choose after you finish choosing." Her tone was full of false kindness, but she hid deep malice in her heart. This was the case last time. She acted gentle and considerate in front of everyone, making everyone mistakenly believe that she took the initiative to let Li Ruoyue choose clothes first. However, once outside, she began to confuse right and wrong, claiming that she was the one who was given priority, and Li Ruoyue snatched away all the beautiful colors, leaving her with only those fabrics that were not beautiful enough. This resulted in her having to wear plain clothes to attend the banquet and becoming the object of ridicule from others.

But in this life, Li Ruoyue decided not to be polite anymore. Now that she had been given the opportunity to choose clothes, she would choose the best without hesitation. She no longer had any sympathy for a hypocritical sister like Li Ruoliu. She wanted to wear the most beautiful clothes and show her true style. At the same time, she would not leave any beautiful fabrics for Li Ruoliu, so that she would taste the bitterness of losing more than she gained.

Li Ruoyue spoke with difficulty, but her sister respectfully obeyed her order. Li Ruoyue looked at the bright and precious materials on the table, picked them all up, turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Let's take these batches!"

Li Ruoliu watched him pick out all the best fabrics, a surge of rage welling up in her. She gritted her teeth, but quickly changed her mind. She thought, "When he gets to the banquet, I can use this as a topic of conversation to show everyone how jealous my sister is." The corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously, revealing a hint of smugness.

He said hypocritically, "Sister, you have good taste. These are all made of solid Jinduo fabrics and the most fashionable fabrics and patterns in Kyoto. If you wear them like this, you will definitely be the most beautiful woman in the capital."

Li Ruoyue pretended to be hypocritical with them for a while, then returned to her room to rest. She felt that this was meaningless and boring.

A few days later, Madam Hua's carriage slowly pulled into the bustling streets of the capital. Inside, she, Li Ruoyue, and Li Ruoliu were all dressed in exquisite attire, smiling with anticipation in their eyes. Today, they were to attend an important ceremony—the coming-of-age ceremony for the Second Prince's mother's niece. This was not only a celebration of a young woman's growth, but also a major event in the capital's aristocratic social circles.

Madam Hua gently adjusted her clothes, turned to Li Ruoyue and Li Ruoliu, and said gently, "Today is an important day, not only for my niece, but also for our Marquis' Mansion. You must remember that the Jigui Ceremony symbolizes that a girl has reached adulthood. From this moment on, she will shoulder more responsibilities, and it also means that she is about to enter the stage of marriage.

Li Ruoliu also echoed: "Yes, mother, we will. I will follow you obediently and will not run around. I am afraid of such occasions and will not do well. She said softly and lay in Mrs. Hua's arms, "Mother, you must teach me how to do it, otherwise I will make a fool of myself."

Madam Hua nodded in satisfaction. She knew full well that such an occasion was not only a social event, but also a stage for showcasing the upbringing and status of the Marquisate. She gently warned, "Remember, your words and actions represent the reputation of our Marquisate. Be humble and polite, but also confident and generous, so that others can see the elegance of our Marquisate."

The carriage finally stopped in front of a richly decorated mansion, the venue for the coming-of-age ceremony. Madam Hua, accompanied by Li Ruoyue and Li Ruoliu, entered the mansion, their presence immediately drawing the attention of the guests.

Li Ruoyue wore an elegant, pale lotus-colored dress, delicately embroidered with lotus patterns along the hem, seeming to embody the freshness and purity of summer. Her long hair was gently pulled back and secured with a silver hairpin studded with pearls, a few light strands cascading through her hair, adding a touch of gentleness and softness. A slender jade necklace graced her neck, complementing her refined demeanor. She appeared both dignified and youthful.

Madam Hua wore a regal violet brocade gown intricately embroidered with gold thread, showcasing her elegant grace. Her long hair was tied into an elegant bun, adorned with sparkling gemstones, emitting a subtle shimmer. A pair of jade bracelets adorned her wrists, complementing her gown and adding a touch of aristocratic grace. Her makeup was subtle, with a touch of vermilion on her lips, further enhancing her mature, feminine charm.

Li Ruoliu's outfit was even more refreshing and refined. She chose a pale pink dress, its hem flowing like an early summer breeze through blossoms. Her long hair was gently tied back with a pearl-studded headband, and a few strands cascaded softly around her ears, adding a touch of girlish charm. A pearl necklace adorned her neck, each pearl sleek and round, complementing her complexion and giving her an appearance of purity and elegance. Li Ruoliu had secretly asked her mother to make a dress from her treasured fabric in the temple, so she wouldn't wear dull, gray materials.

The three of them moved gracefully among the guests, and when they talked with them, they not only demonstrated the nobility of the Marquis' Mansion, but also conveyed their best wishes to the girl who had just reached the age of 15.

Before the ceremony began, Madam Hua, along with Li Ruoyue and Li Ruoliu, found the girl who was about to enter the jubilee year. She was dressed in a gorgeous jubilee gown, appearing both nervous and excited. Madam Hua smiled as she approached, placed an exquisite jade pendant around the girl's neck, and whispered, "May this jade pendant bring you peace and happiness. May your future be as pure and beautiful as this jade pendant."

Li Ruoyue and Li Ruoliu also offered their blessings, their words filled with sincerity and warmth, deeply moving the young woman. The coming-of-age ceremony took place in a solemn and warm atmosphere. The participation of Madam Hua, Li Ruoyue, and Li Ruoliu not only added luster to the ceremony but also demonstrated the style and upbringing of the Marquisate.

This Jiji Ceremony is more than just a simple coming-of-age ceremony for a young girl; it is a grand occasion that attracts attention and expectations from all sides. For wives, it is a great opportunity to observe potential daughters-in-law or sons-in-law. Here, they can carefully observe the behavior, talents, and appearance of the younger generation and find suitable partners for their children. For young men who are about to become adults, this Jiji Ceremony is a stage for them to show themselves and attract the attention of their future partners. Therefore, this Jiji Ceremony has become the focus of everyone's attention, and everyone participates with their own expectations and goals.
