After giving everyone gifts, General Duan inquired about the schedule for Ji Jiu and Butler Kang's beading ceremony as well as the New Year's event in the evening.
Butler Kang reported everything to the old man who was considered his young lady's elder in detail. The morning event involves a pin-making ceremony and lunch with the villagers. Then in the evening, the family celebrates the New Year. They prepare firecrackers and fireworks earlier for the New Year's Eve.
General Tuan nodded and listened. He saw that this butler was not doing a bad job. This time, he also prepared quite a few red envelopes for everyone. Waiting for New Year's Day to pass before he would distribute it to everyone who helped take care of Ji Jiu. As for the grandson who had sent the news two weeks ago, he said that he had finished organizing the rebellion. and was returning to the border city to celebrate the New Year with him. Only he had already sent word that he would come to see Ji Jiu here. He didn't know what his grandson would decide. Fortunately, his eldest grandson had prepared someone to take care of the northern border for him in advance. Otherwise, an old man like him would probably have to return to the northern border again.
Today, Ji Jiu's house was very lively because of General Duan's men. She also had Aunt Qiao and Aunt Li prepare several of his favorite foods. Ah Yu refused to go anywhere far from the old man. She sat and chatted with him, causing everyone to look on with affection. Ji Jiu also kept talking to Uncle Yu if there was something she couldn't think of. General Duan inquired about the outfit for Ji Jiu's pin-pinning ceremony. It turned out that it was Aunt Li and Gui Hua who had sewed it for her last week. General Duan himself had also prepared a dress for her. The cloth he used belonged to his eldest grandson who had given it to him a long time ago. He sent word to the butler at the general's quarters to arrange it for him and send it to him at the border before leaving. not long
Ji Jiu saw that it was something that Grandpa had prepared for her. So she promised to wear his clothes as well. This made the old man smile. He had forced his eldest grandson to have the royal technician sew it for him. If the jewelry is not worn He must feel quite bad.
Tonight was another night that Ji Jiu was very happy. She didn't think that he would endure the torture of traveling to see her despite his old age. Since he was truly merciful to her, Ji Jiu would also repay him as much as she could. She would not regret later that she had not done something good for these people who loved her.
Early the next morning the sky was not yet clear. Aunt Li and Gui Hua also came to help Ji Jiu take a shower and get dressed before the pin-pinning ceremony began. The ceremony is divided into two parts. At first, she would wear the clothes that Aunt Li and Gui Hua embroidered for her. During the pin-pin ceremony She would then wear the clothes and robes that General Tuan had brought.
Villagers also came to help Aunt Qiao cook food early in the morning. After the ceremony was over, they would eat together. Today, General Duan dressed in full uniform to honor Ji Jiu, who he saw as his granddaughter. Tomorrow, no one would dare to bully her again. Little did the old man know that his good grandson would soon steal his favor.
Ji Jiu, who had been woken up early in the morning, was still sleepy. The cold weather made her more sleepy than usual. But with Aunt Li and Gui Hua constantly encouraging her, she agreed to eat the pork porridge that Aunt Qiao had brought. Come to support your stomach before starting the first ceremony.
The village headman and his wife came to help out early in the morning. They had the villagers bring tables and chairs to facilitate eating together. The villagers also borrowed carts from Jijiu's house to carry things diligently. They wanted Ji Jiu's work to be the best, as she had helped them so much before.
Prince Jun who has arrived in Haitang City. He didn't know where Ji Jiu's house was so he approached the city lord to take him to Hunhe Village. The city lord who knew that Prince Jun had arrived was completely shocked. He did not dare to ask anything of the young man in front of him. So he could only arrange a military convoy to take Prince Jun and his ten bodyguards to Hun He Village as Prince Jun had ordered.
Ji Jiu's ceremony began according to the schedule that Butler Kang had arranged. The first phase was to receive a blessing from an elder. The first person to wish her a blessing would definitely be General Duan. He also whispered, asking her not to think of him as someone else. To think that he really was her grandfather, Ji Jiu was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded and accepted the old man's words wholeheartedly. After she came here alone She really didn't dare to rely on anyone. With this old man here, Ji Jiu was grateful that there was someone who could give her some advice. She had no idea how to behave in this era. If he were there to teach her some things, she might be able to stay here in peace for the rest of her life. Of course, she would dedicate her life to helping those in need, just as she had planned since awakening in this body.
It took almost an hour and a half before everyone in the village finished blessing Ji Jiu. Because people in the village wanted to join in wishing blessings. So she didn't want to disobey their good wishes. She smiled and received every blessing with the utmost joy.
Until everyone had finished blessing her. Before starting the pin-pin ceremony Ji Jiu had to go back in and change into the clothes that General Duan had brought. The first time she saw this outfit Ji Jiu was stunned by the beauty she saw in front of her. The fabric was as white as a pearl, and the intricate patterns embroidered with silver and gold tinsel. She had never seen it before in her life. Ji Jiu was touched by the old man's ability to find good things. Come give it to her like this.
Aunt Li and Gui Hua saw the dress for the first time and knew that this type of cloth was not ordinary. They didn't dare say much except that they gently put on their clothes. They were also afraid that the good cloth would be crumpled if they used too much force.
After Ji Jiu put on her clothes and finished combing her hair and getting ready to pin it. Just as she was about to leave the room and go to the reception hall, Ji Jiu heard a voice outside loudly saluting Prince Jun.
He was shocked how this Prince of Jun came to be. Since she had never known him before. Ji Jiu could only look at the mother and daughter in confusion. But she still needed to go outside to check on the situation first. She was worried that the villagers who by now would definitely be afraid of this big man.
