Come against the wind, exchange your glory

Chapter 1013 Succession Ceremony

On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, he was granted the title of Prime Minister and changed his feathers. He was the first son of Wuling.

The Han family's manor in the Western Capital is one ten thousandth less than the Han family's ancestral home in the Eastern Capital. Logically, the inheritance ceremony of the new head of the Han family should be held in the ancestral home. However, in fact, Mr. Han also had his own considerations before agreeing to Han Wu's appointment in the Western Capital. The absurd decision to hold a succession ceremony at the Duhan Manor.

Starting from dawn, guests arrived one after another. Following the guidance of the servant, they stepped into the flat courtyard paved with bluestones. As they walked around, they saw branches, leaves and flowers.

Stepping onto the small bridge, you will see pavilions and pavilions at both ends of the wooden bridge. The water flows under the bridge and winds around the rocks.

When they see acquaintances, they exchange a few words, or invite them to go with them to enjoy the flowers in the garden, drink tea and play with fish.

The people who came today are all leaders of aristocratic families, the holders of the future power center of country Z.

Early in the morning, Han Wu was forced to wake up and put on a calm and restrained black Tang suit under the gaze of countless people.

His hair has also been specially trimmed, which is completely different from the innocent school boy before. Now, he has a hint of sharpness and depth of a superior person.

Mrs. Han and the other sisters-in-law smiled and helped him straighten the creases in his clothes and comb his hair. They had to find something to do anyway, just hang around him.

Han Wudu had been tortured so much that he collapsed. He looked helplessly at Bingci sitting by the bed and asked for help with his eyes.

The women in the room all mixed their different styles of laughter together. At this moment, he looked like Tang Sanzang who accidentally entered the Pansi Cave, and he felt extremely horrified!

"Xiaowu becomes more and more beautiful as he grows older!"

"Our Xiaowu has been good-looking since he was a child. I remember that when he was a child, he was always followed by a group of little boys and girls, all of whom wanted to play with him. However, our Xiaowu has been aloof since he was a child and ignored them."

Upon hearing this, Han Wu immediately looked at Bing Ci in a panic, his eyes innocent, as if to say: It's not me, I don't have it.

Bingci laughed it off and mouthed to him, "It's okay."

Finally, someone noticed their secret interaction. Han Ke couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering. His eyes looked back and forth between the two of them. After a long while, he asked Han Wu in a voice that only two people could hear: "What a great nephew. Is it because of Qiu Yang that you held the succession ceremony in Xidu?"

It’s no wonder that she would ask this question. According to the family’s practice, the succession ceremony of the family head will be held at the ancestral home in Dongdu. It has the meaning of submitting heaven’s mandate to the ancestors and reporting to the ancestors. Only those who complete the succession ceremony in the ancestral home are considered the legitimate family heads and can be accepted. The children of the aristocratic family recognized it. Those who can witness this ceremony are the future heirs or current heirs of each family.

Obviously, as long as Bingci is still Qiu Yang, she won't even be able to take a step forward into the territory of a prominent family in Dongdu. If she forces her way in, she will definitely cause some trouble and even attract the attention of the man in Dongdu.

But if it is held in the Western Capital, there will be no such restrictions

This was the first time someone failed to follow this routine.

"Yeah", Han Wu didn't even hesitate and nodded directly to admit.

"Everyone in the family knows about your story. Tell me the truth. Did you ask the old man for the ring that symbolizes the wife of the Han family last night? Do you want to publicly admit that Qiu Yang is the Han family in front of all the young masters and ladies of the Han family today? The perfect choice for the housekeeper’s wife?”

Subconsciously, Han Wu put his right hand into his pocket and held the ring box firmly. Without admitting or denying, he silently stared in the direction of Bing Ci, his eyes dark and unclear.

He could feel that someone had been absent-minded since the morning. For example, right now, he was lying on the window sill with his hands, resting his chin on his head while looking at the scenery outside, not knowing what he was planning in his mind.

Bingci was indeed absent-minded. Late last night, when she couldn't sleep, she simply went to the balcony to look at the stars. In order not to disturb Han Wu who lived next door to her, she moved very lightly and made no sound.

After standing on the balcony, he saw that Han Wu was still awake, sitting on a stool and looking at the things in his hands intently.

The moon was very bright last night, and she could see clearly that it was made by the same person as the custom-made ring that symbolized the identity of the head of the Han family that Han Wu had shown her, but the model was smaller and the sapphire was inlaid. It emits a faint blue glow under the moonlight.

Already guessing what he was trying to do, she spent the entire night wondering how to resolve the matter.

Seeing that Han Wu's mood suddenly dropped and he looked preoccupied, Han Ke seemed to smell the subtle atmosphere between the two, and was very confused in his heart. Aren't these two people in love with each other?

I really don't understand.

Just when she was puzzled, something happened in the front yard.
