A few days later, Lu Bu invited a magician to come to the door, measured the auspicious date, and put on the itinerary the gift of the little bell.

Ji Li, which is the coming-of-age ceremony for Han women, has the same nature as the men's crown ceremony, which means growing up.

The auspicious date measured by the sorcerer is the twelfth of July, which is still early, and there is still more than a month to prepare.

The next day, Lu Bu bid farewell to his old mother-in-law, and returned to his hometown in Jiuyuan with his wife and children.

Originally, Little Bell's coming-of-age ceremony was planned to be held in Chang'an, but now that the whole family is in Bingzhou, Lu Bu is too lazy to go back to Chang'an.In these years, he has often led troops to fight outside, and has not returned to his hometown for many years.

Back in Jiuyuan County, Lu Bu's collapsed ancestral house was renovated into a five-entry and three-out Dafu house, with two large stone lions at the entrance, full of momentum.

Lu Bu didn't ask anyone to repair it, but he has been in the officialdom all these years, and he is no longer the stupid boy he was back then.If you think about it with your toes, it is likely that the local county magistrate carried out repairs and expansions without authorization to please him.

What's more, as soon as Lu Bu arrived, the county magistrate of Jiuyuan rushed to pay his respects.

Don't look at the county magistrate who is usually very powerful, but at this moment in front of Lu Bu, he didn't dare to breathe, lowered his head respectfully, and waited for Lu Bu to speak like a good boy.

"My ancestral house was repaired by you without permission?" Lu Bu asked him.

"Back to the general, it's the next official."

"Who told you to do this?"

"The great general is so powerful that he drives out the barbarians and suppresses the rebels. He is not only the mainstay of the Han Dynasty, but also the highest glory of our Jiuyuan County. When the people heard that they wanted to repair the mansion for the general, they all came here voluntarily..."

The county magistrate couldn't hear the joy and anger in Lu Bu's tone, so he flattered him first.

"Have you ever given wages to the people?"

"The people are all voluntary..."

The county magistrate was interrupted by Lu Bu before he finished speaking.

"Then calculate the wages and hand them over to the people from door to door!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Lu Bu seemed to be angry, the county magistrate hastily agreed.

In the next few days, Lu Bu took his family to visit Jiuyuan County.

It has to be said that after so many years of stable development, Jiuyuan County has completely changed compared to the dilapidated and desolate years ago.

There are row upon row of brick and tile houses on the street, shouting and selling in the market place one after another, and pedestrians and vendors passing from north to south can be seen everywhere, a thriving scene.

"Didn't the fourth uncle open a barbarian market in Bingzhou? I heard that there are a lot of barbarians and a lot of interesting and strange things there." Little Bell was full of joy.

Lu Bu shook his head, "Hushi is located in Linrong, and it is at least seven or eight hundred miles away from our Jiuyuan."

Little Bell muttered, very unhappy.

"After your coming-of-age ceremony is completed, Daddy will take you there again, okay?" Lu Bu said to his daughter with a smile.

As for the information about Hu City in Bingzhou, Lu Bu only dabbled occasionally in the reports of the school affairs office and Yan Xin, and never went to the field for inspection.

Since he came back this time, Lu Bu was not short of time, so he decided to go and have a look after a while.

Hearing her father's promise, little Lingdang laughed immediately, with the dimples inherited from her mother on her cheeks: "Daddy is the best!"

The daughter was happy, and the father Lu Bu was naturally happy and laughed too.

This operation made the two younger brothers behind him envious, but it was only envious.If the two of them dared to act like a spoiled child to their father like this, they would not talk about being nasty, and they would probably be kicked far away by their father.

Time passed day by day inadvertently, and soon the twelfth of July was ushered in.

In the first three days before that, little Lingdang bathed and fasted under the guidance of her mother.

On the day of Ji Li, the Lu family's ancestral house was very lively.

Although Lu Bu only invited the old lady of the Yan family and a few aunts, other families and officials from all over the world who had heard about it for a long time also came with gifts to congratulate the little girl of the Lu family on her coming of age.

This also corresponds to the sentence: poor in the busy city, no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives.

Lu Bu and Yan Wei, as Xiao Lingdang's parents, sat in the main hall.

The auspicious time has come, and when the elegant sound of the piano sounded in the hall, the guests immediately fell silent.

Today's protagonist, Little Bell, is full of beauty. She restrains her former vivacity, like a holy and beautiful girl, and slowly walks into the hall wearing her clothes.

Afterwards, Little Bell turned to face the south, bowing to the guests watching the ceremony.Then facing west, he was sitting on the seat of the hairpin.The praiser combs his hair, and then puts the comb on the south side of the mat.

After combing her hair, Little Bell turned to the east and sat.

There was a priest presenting the Luopa and the hairpin, and the master of ceremonies walked up to the little bell and chanted congratulations loudly: "On the auspicious day of the lunar month, I will start to add yuan clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, and follow your success. Shoukao Weiqi, Jieerjing blessing."

After reading, the master of ceremonies knelt down and combed Little Bell's hair, then got up and returned to his original position.The praiser symbolically corrected the little bell, and the little bell got up and went back to the east room.

The praiser took the clothes from Yousi and went to the room to change into a plain dress that matched the hairpin on his head.

Not long after, little bell came out wearing a skirt. Compared with before, the little bell at this moment was slim and tall, and she already had the appearance of a lady.

Under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, Little Bell faced her parents and performed regular salutes.

This is the first time to worship, to express my gratitude to my parents for their upbringing.

Afterwards, Little Bell was sitting facing the east, and his grandmother, Mrs. Yan, stepped forward to wash, and someone offered a hairpin. Erweiyi, Shushende. My sister will live forever and be blessed by Hu Fu forever."

Little Bell kowtowed to her grandmother. This was the second time she paid her respects to her elders.

Afterwards, a secretary presented the hairpin crown, and the mother-in-law Yan Wei took it, walked up to the little bell, and chanted loudly and earnestly: "With the righteousness of the year, with the order of the moon, Xianjiaer obeys. Brothers are here, with Cheng Jue De. Huang Ji has no boundaries, and is celebrated by the heavens."

After reading the congratulatory speech, Yan Wei put the hairpin crown on Little Bell's head, her eyes were full of relief, and she got up and returned to her original seat.

Little Lingdang then got up and went back to the east room. The praiser helped her get clothes, and went to the room to change into the long-sleeved dress that matched the hairpin crown on her head.

When Little Bell returned to the hall, her temperament changed again.If the previous Ruqun looked like a lady, then at this moment, she has undoubtedly become a noble girl with a noble temperament, like the brightest star in the sky, which makes people look sideways.

You Si served the drink, and Little Bell took it with both hands, and presented it to his father.

One can imagine Lu Bu's mood at the moment.

He took the drink respectfully handed over by his daughter, and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, just like looking at the little girl who was galloping around on his neck back then.

Unknowingly, two hot, muddy tears fell from the corners of Lu Bu's eyes, and he said with emotion.

"Lingqi, you have grown up."
