Chapter 589 - The Official Commencement of the Coming-Of-Age Ceremony
The guests were ushered into the hall.
The coming-of-age ceremony officially commenced.
Old Mr. Wen and Old Mr. Mo sat at the seats reserved for the hosts. Old Mr. Mo was clad in a green robe which made him appear slim and slender, while Old Mr. Wen donned a dark chestnut brown robe, appearing stern and formal.
Zhou Huiyan then took her seat, dressed in a bright red dress with her hair combed back into a peony-style hairdo, accompanied by a red phoenix hairpin. She walked with a confident gait and exuded a dignified yet gentle aura.
The secretary, Wan Niang, got into position. She was dressed in a red, embroidered dress that had a cloud and peacock pattern, with a vibrant hairpin in her hair. The colorful ensemble brought out her classic grace.
The tribute, Zhou Tianyu, also got into her position, dressed in a honey-colored dress which had a large cluster of brocade flowers embroidered on its fabric. The white jade and red coral beads accessory accentuated her beauty.
All of the guests proceeded to take their seats when the ceremony officially commenced. Some of the important guests were even dressed in retro and vintage outfits so as to fit the theme. Although they were not dressed in ancient clothing, they did not look strange at all. The strict rules and etiquette of the ceremony made everyone put on their best behavior as an austere and somber mood filled the air. All of their smiles vanished as well.
Wen Xinya answered, “Although I’m not sensitive, I will not stay up late!”
Old Mr. Wen looked at Wen Xinya and said sternly, “You ought to act appropriately and remember the virtues you were taught. Stay modest, honest, have a clear conscience and be faithful!”
Wen Xinya answered, “I wouldn’t dare to defy your orders!”
After thanking the honored guest, the secretary, and the tribute, Wen Xinya thanked the guests.
“The ceremony is completed!”
