The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

The smile on Zheng Yan'er's face had already frozen when Jiang Suining walked out, and now when she heard Yu's envious tone, it completely disappeared without a trace.

Although Zheng had known for a long time that Jiang Suining was good-looking, she was really amazed just now. After hearing what Yu said, she was extremely happy.

"It was given to me by the immortals, you can't envy it."

"Look at how happy you are. Speaking of which, neither you nor I have a daughter. When will I be so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter?"

Having said that, Yu couldn't help but look at Jiang Suining again.

The latter smiled lightly, "Aunt, you are too kind. Sui Ning feels ashamed to accept it."

"Don't call me aunt, just call me Aunt Yu, it sounds more intimate." Yu couldn't help but look at Jiang Suining carefully again while speaking. She felt satisfied no matter how she looked at him. "Child, why don't you recognize me as your godmother? I will definitely prepare a lot of gifts for you!"

"Go away, don't even think about snatching my daughter from me here." Zheng said with a smile.

"You're so stingy." Yu looked at Zheng with pretended dissatisfaction, then said, "It's okay if you don't want to be my goddaughter, but how about being my daughter-in-law? I gave birth to two monkeys. The older one is seventeen this year, and the younger one is thirteen. They both look pretty good. You can choose whichever one you want, as long as..."

"You are getting more and more ridiculous. How can you say that about marriage?" Zheng interrupted Yu, "Don't scare my daughter."

Yu came to her senses and realized that she was a little too anxious and it was inappropriate to speak rashly. She was afraid that Jiang Suining would misunderstand her, so she hurried to explain.

"I was too impatient, dear child, please don't misunderstand me. We in the Zhou family also know how to behave. We have no intention of neglecting anyone. If you are unhappy, just treat what I said just now as a joke and don't blame Aunt Yu."

"Aunt Yu, you are too serious. You are my mother's good friend, and we are in this backyard. It's okay to joke around. You don't have to take it seriously."

Although Jiang Suining attributed Yu's words to a joke, he still gave her enough room and face. Yu felt even more pleased and only regretted that she did not bring her two sons with her today.

Zheng Yan'er stood aside, listening to what they said in silence. She felt extremely unhappy and could only comfort herself in her heart. Fortunately, Xi'er had found an excuse to slip out of Jiang's house and went to Ningxiu Restaurant.

She came to Jiang Suining's yard, firstly to make sure Jiang Suining had no suspicions, and secondly to keep an eye on him personally in case Jiang Suining suddenly thought of Xier and something unexpected happened.

Soon, all the guests invited by the Jiang family had arrived, and the auspicious time was almost here.

Yu and Zheng returned to the viewing area, everyone took their seats, and Jiang Zhitong announced the official start of the coming-of-age ceremony.

Under the gaze of everyone, Biyun walked out first, and then Jiang Suining appeared. He walked slowly into the crowd and bowed to the guests.

"Miss Jiang is really beautiful!"

Among the guests, someone exclaimed in praise, which immediately triggered a wave of echoes.

Lin Ziqing also came today. He was sitting with Jiang Mushi watching the ceremony and spoke to Jiang Mushi in a low voice.

"If you ask me, your sister should dress up more often. Once she gets dressed up, even the royal ladies can't compare to her."

She looks so noble, she doesn't look like a merchant girl at all.

"My sister can outperform them even without dressing up!" Jiang Mushi's tone was full of pride.

Lin Ziqing glanced at the smug Jiang Mushi and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Yes, your sister is the prettiest. I think people proposing marriage will come knocking on the door soon."

The smile on Jiang Mushi's face froze, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Your family held such a grand ceremony today. Everyone will know how much the Jiang family values ​​your sister. Plus, with her beautiful appearance seen with their own eyes, there will definitely be many people proposing marriage to her."

Although Jiang Suining had met many people before because of her business, the people who came today were different. Since they were invited, even if they were not close friends, they were at least business contacts. It was a good thing to have a close relationship.

Jiang Mushi's excited heart was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water because of Lin Ziqing's words.

"No, getting married is a big deal. Not just anyone can marry my sister. Even if someone wants to marry you, they have to pass my test first."

"Your brother-in-law is nosy." Lin Ziqing joked with a smile.

Jiang Mushi suddenly turned his head and looked at him again, his eyes wary, "You don't want to marry my sister too, do you?"

Lin Ziqing's expression froze. "Don't talk nonsense. Your sister is my financial sponsor. I am planning to open a branch recently. If she misunderstands this and stops sponsoring me, you have to compensate for the loss."

"Is it necessary to divide your shabby building that spreads rumors every day into different sections? It might be closed down by the government someday."

"Stop being such a jinx. Your sister still owns the shares. If you curse me, you are cursing her."

Jiang Mushi choked and said, "I don't want to bother with you. Let's just watch the ceremony!"

Although he didn't care, Jiang Mushi still secretly touched the wooden chair with his right hand.

Bah, bah, bah, what he just said is nonsense and doesn’t count!

For today's coming-of-age ceremony, Zheng and Jiang Zhitong specially invited an elder from the Jiang family's side branch who was over 70 years old, in good health, and had both sons and daughters to be the main guest to comb Jiang Suining's hair and put on the coming-of-age ceremony.

According to seniority, Jiang Zhitong had to call the other party his cousin grandmother. The other party did not live in the imperial city. When Jiang Zhitong asked someone to visit with generous gifts, he originally just wanted to give it a try, but he did not expect that the other party would really agree.

While Jiang Mushi and Lin Ziqing were talking, the cousin grandmother had already washed her hands and started to re-comb Jiang Suining's hair.

Although she is over seventy years old, her complexion is ruddy, her eyesight is not blurry and her ears are not deaf, and her movements when combing her hair are steady and fast.

The coming-of-age ceremony for girls in Beiyang State only consisted of one plus one bow.

"Jia" means combing the hair and putting on a hairpin, and "bai" refers to the woman's thanks to her parents and guests after the hairpin is put on.

Jiang Suining felt her hair being tied into a bun little by little, and the next step was to put on a hairpin.

There are no special requirements for the hairpins used in the coming-of-age ceremony. The one Jiang Suining wore was personally selected for her by Zheng.

A set of hollow gold hairpins with filigree cloud and phoenix patterns, exquisitely crafted and inlaid with expensive rubies. There are two hairpins, one long and one short, in addition to matching pomegranate-shaped earrings.

As the hairpin was inserted into the bun, an old and kind voice sounded softly.

"My child, I can see that your parents love you very much. They hope that you will have peace, wealth, happiness and success in your life."

Jiang Suining's originally calm heart suddenly seemed to be hit by a small stone, causing ripples to spread out.

She looked at Zheng and Jiang Zhitong who were sitting diagonally opposite her. Both of their faces were full of kindness.

Especially Zheng, her eyes were full of joy when she saw the hairpin she had personally chosen worn on Jiang Suining's head.

Although Jiang Mushi was sitting a little further away, he could still clearly see the joy and blessings on his face.

Jiang Suining looked at it, and his heart suddenly softened...
