Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart Chapter 432 - 431: Coming-of-Age Ceremony
Last night’s heavy snow wrapped the sprawling mansion in silver, with several crystal-clear icicles hanging under the eaves.
Shen Qingping and Shen Qing’an were making big snowballs in the courtyard early in the morning.
Today is Shen Qinglan’s coming-of-age ceremony, and the maids and old servants in the mansion are all bustling about.
"Young masters, stop playing in the snow!" Lian Qiu held two cloaks and draped them over the two of them, "Let’s go indoors by the fire, don’t catch a cold."
The two, hearing this, hurriedly brushed off the remaining snow from their hands, held hands, and went back inside.
The guests today include those from Yongning Manor and the dicine Sect, as well as people from Le Mansion and Yan Mansion, and the Pri Minister’s wife.
Seeing carriages bearing various family emblems parked at the gates of Shen Mansion, the neighboring families were filled with curiosity about this new neighbor.
Generally, individuals of status reside in Wealth Street, while those in Welco Street are mostly second-rate rchants. Hence, although Wealth Street and Welco Street differ by just one word, their statuses are worlds apart.
Originally, there wasn’t much curiosity about this new neighbor until today, which demanded attention.
Neighbors began to inquire, and so even went to ask the gatekeeper of Shen Mansion.
Upon learning that the distinguished guests today were attending the coming-of-age ceremony of Shen Mansion’s third daughter, everyone beca intrigued by this unseen young lady.
The person who went to gather information returned and told the neighbors, "I’ve heard that the Pri Minister’s wife ca today to bestow the ceremonial hairpin on Shen Mansion’s third daughter."
"The Pri Minister’s wife herself ca to bestow the hairpin? What is this girl’s identity to receive such an honor?"
"Not only did the Pri Minister’s wife co, but also people from Le Mansion and Yan Mansion," the person said, "All are here because of the girl having her ceremony today."
"Did you find out what Shen Mansion does?" soone asked.
"I did inquire, they claim to be ordinary rchants," the person replied, "Moreover, they’re not from the Capital."
"Could they be nobility from sowhere?" soone suggested, "I just saw the young lord from Bright Moon City go in too."
"People from the dicine Sect are also here!" an old man noted, "I was fortunate enough to et a few Jianghu friends and once saw Sect Leader Song at a friend’s house. Just now, I think I saw him too."
"What’s the big deal?" soone pointed at the carriage from Yongning Manor and said, "See the emblem? It’s from Yongning Manor."
Everyone looked and indeed saw the emblem present on both Yongning Manor’s carriages and shops, feeling quite astonished.
"Are these people sure they’re here for the girl and not because of her family?"
Soone doubted how a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl could know so many distinguished people.
The person affird, "I’ve checked, it’s definitely said they’re here for the girl."
Soone exclaid, "What kind of background does this young girl have to wield such influence?"
Soone suggested, "Why don’t we also go over and join the festivities?"
Everyone inwardly contemplated this, but most found the idea of going without invitation difficult to execute.
Ultimately, they all rejected the suggestion.
After all, Shen Mansion has moved here, and there’ll be plenty of opportunities to connect later. There’s no need to go now and risk losing face or causing resentnt.
anwhile, inside Shen Mansion, Shen Qinglan, now having received her ceremonial hairpin, is sitting with everyone at the table enjoying a hot pot, unaware that the neighbors are already curious about her.
