Zhao Hanzhang's coming-of-age ceremony was held in the backyard of the county government. All the County Magistrates from the various counties arrived early at Xiping County. To their surprise, the person presiding over her ceremony was not a woman, but Zhao Song.
Zhao Song was hosting a coming-of-age ceremony for the first time. As the auspicious hour approached, he was still asking Zhao Hanzhang, "Are you sure you want me to perform the ceremony for you? Actually, there are quite a few female elders in the family with good fortune."
Zhao Hanzhang said seriously, "But none of them are Fifth Uncle. When Grandfather was alive, you had the best relationship with him. If he can't witness my ceremony, having you perform it would make him very happy."
Zhao Song's lips curled slightly, and he felt pleased.
