Energetic???

‘Can the house be described as energetic?’

Gu Yundong exhaled and led them through the door.

The Gu family was very lively. Everyone took Gu Yundong’s coming-of-age ceremony very seriously. Not only did Chen Liang’s family come to help, but the Shi couple and Lan Hua’er also came. Dong Xiulan also brought the children.

Gu Yundong had not thought of inviting Madam Dai and Nie Shuang. After all, she had almost forgotten that she was about to become an adult. Moreover, the coming-of-age ceremony was held in Yongfu Village. Madam Dai and the rest were in the prefectural city. It would take an entire day to get to the county city by carriage. Not only was it a waste of time, but it was also tiring.

But who would have thought that they would still come, and even bring along Bao Lingyue, a lady whom they had only met once.

Gu Yundong had guessed that Bao Lingyue had a good relationship with Nie Shuang. After all, she could hear the familiarity in her tone when she spoke of Nie Shuang.

However, Gu Yundong did not expect their relationship to be so good. According to Nie Shuang, she happened to bump into her when she and Madam Dai were about to set off. When she heard that they were coming to Yongfu Village, she got into the carriage without a word and sent someone home to tell them that she was playing with Nie Shuang.

It was said that she often went to the Nie family to look for Nie Shuang. The Bao family was already used to her.

But of course, Gu Yundong was happy that they could come. She warmly welcomed them.

Madam Dai arrived at the Gu house first and only had time to tell Gu Yundong about Nie Shuang and Bao Lingyue. Gu Yundong let Aunt Ke lead her into the house to rest while she went out to look for them.

Now that the three of them had arrived, Gu Yundong introduced them to others.

She did not mention Madam Dai’s identity and only introduced the three of them as seniors and friends from the prefectural city.

Nie Shuang immediately hugged her arm and added, “We’re especially close friends.”

Although Chen Liang and the others did not know who they were, they could tell that the three of them were young ladies and madams of wealthy families. Their statuses in the prefecture capital were probably not low.

Especially Madam Dai. Chen Liang had seen the county magistrate’s wife from afar in the county city before, but this Madam Dai looked even more imposing than the county magistrate’s wife.

He was a little restrained for a moment, and the others were even more so.

Hence, after dinner, Mrs. Zhou secretly came to look for Gu Yundong. She was a little embarrassed to say that she would no longer be the main guest.

Gu Yundong was stunned. Women’s coming-of-age ceremony was usually attended by the witness, the host, the main guest, the director, the praiser, and so on.

The host was her parents.

Gu Yundong’s first choice for the main guest, who was supposed to be a female senior with virtue, was Aunt Ke, but Aunt Ke rejected her as a widow.

Gu Yundong had no choice but to look for Chen Liang’s wife. The village chief’s wife had the highest status in Yongfu Village. Coupled with Gu Yundong’s relationship with the Chen family, it was reasonable to invite Madam Zhou as an official guest.

Madam Zhou was also very happy at that time, and she patted her chest excitedly and promised that there was no problem.

The director was Dong Xiulan.

The praiser was Lan Hua’er.

The few of them were already prepared. Why did she suddenly quit?

Madam Zhou had no choice. “Yundong, I didn’t do it on purpose. I just feel that it’s more appropriate for you to let Madam Dai replace me. I-I’m especially nervous now. I just feel that I’ll mess it up.”

At the thought of being the main guest in front of a noblewoman like Madam Dai, she felt that she could not comb Gu Yundong’s hair during the ceremony. She felt that she would make a mistake.

What if she couldn’t even speak and Yundong’s hair wasn’t combed well? What if she embarrassed Yundong? Would Madam Dai laugh at Yundong? Would she look down on Yundong?
