Seeing Jun Yexuan's leaving figure, Mu Jingheng stroked his chin and smiled mischievously.
Qin Yongmei looked at the scene under her control and smiled proudly.
He turned to look at Qiao Zhizhuo and said, "Dad, isn't it time for each family to send marriage beads?"
Qiao Zhizhuo nodded and said with a smile, "Just do whatever you want."
Sending marriage beads is a ritual that is as important as combing hair in the coming-of-age ceremony for girls in Liangcheng.
Combing your hair symbolizes your future, and the beads of fortune represent your marriage.
On this day, all families with unmarried men can give their adult girls a marriage blessing bead.
The intention of seeking marriage is also a wish for the girl to have a good marriage in the future, which is the request of hundreds of families in ancient times when a family has a girl.
The more blessing beads a girl receives, and the better off the family that sends the beads is, the more favorable it will be for the girl's future marriage.
The girl who receives the lucky beads can choose the person she likes and make a marriage contract on the same day. If she doesn't like anyone, she can ignore them all.
On the other hand, on this day, even if the boy's family is not selected, they cannot be angry.
And since the marriage blessing beads represent the intention of seeking marriage, it is impossible to give them to two girls at the same time.
And because the marriage beads are from Liangcheng people and are made of gold and jade jewelry, each one costs almost ten thousand yuan.
Although everyone who can be invited here can come up with this money, they will not invest too much in something that will most likely lead to no return.
So it is obvious that if you give it to Qiao Qing, you cannot give it to Qiao Nian, and vice versa.
As soon as they received the invitation saying that two girls would hold coming-of-age ceremonies at the same time, everyone knew that the person who came up with the idea was up to something.
But even though they knew they were causing trouble, they had to make a choice.
Speaking of which, when Qi Yusen attended to comb Qiao Qing's hair just now, everyone was still a little shaken.
After learning that the two had no friendship at all and thinking about Qiao Nian's college entrance examination scores, no one hesitated.
Jiang Huai took the lead in handing the blessing beads to Jiang Yi and pushed him forward, "Hurry and give it to Nian Nian! Try to decide on this daughter-in-law for me today!"
Jiang Yi staggered as he was pushed, and stepped forward with an embarrassed face. Although he was walking towards Qiao Nian's brocade box, his eyes remained glued to Qiao Qing.
To be precise, since Qiao Qing appeared on the scene, he has never taken his eyes away from her.
Seeing Jiang Yi staring at Qiao Qing distractedly, Jiang Huai put his lips to his lips and coughed lightly, "Jiang Yi!"
When Jiang Yi heard this, he immediately came to his senses. As if he was afraid that he would regret it, he quickly put the marriage beads into the brocade box next to Qiao Nian.
His father was right, Qiao Niancai should be the best choice.
Jiang Huai was relieved when he saw this.
Seeing someone taking the lead, Qi Rui's parents followed suit and handed the marriage blessing beads to Qi Rui.
"You should also give it to Niannian. You have better grades than that boy from the Jiang family and are more handsome than him. Our family's lintel is also higher than that of the Jiang family. Niannian is more likely to choose you!"
Qi Rui pushed away the marriage blessing bead that was handed to him, and his eyes fell on Lin Xiyan, who was not far from Qiao Qing.
"I have a girl I like, and I'm still young! Don't worry about my marriage!"
"Hey, you brat! The best girl in Liangcheng is Nian Nian. Who else do you want to like?! Forget it, if you don't want to go, I will!"
So Qi Rui's mother personally gave the marriage beads to Qiao Nian.
After that, adult boys and parents came forward one after another to give marriage blessing beads, and without exception they were all given to Qiao Nian.
Qin Yongmei looked at the increasing number of lucky beads in her daughter's brocade box and the empty brocade box next to Qiao Qing, and she felt extremely proud.
