Chapter 461 The Fastest Makeup Addition in History
Chapter 461 The Fastest Makeup Addition in History
Ye Xue Ning looked at her daughter's frivolous appearance like a man, and rarely lost her composure: "What...what is this?"
"Oh, that... the bottom of the box... yes, it should be called the bottom of the box! It's the thing you sent me to get last night. You can wait until dad comes back to see it."
Ye Xuening:............
What kind of thing is this, daughter? Is it something she and her daughter should discuss? When she gave it to her daughter yesterday, she felt embarrassed, but now her daughter gave her something even more powerful.
She shouldn't have accepted it. Holding the small cloth bag in her hand, she really didn't know what expression to make. In her heart, she felt a little sorry for her future son-in-law.
After all, when her daughter said that she was with Master Yun, she investigated the situation of the women around Master Yun. She heard that since he came of age, he had been served by servants. Not to mention a concubine, he didn't even have a personal maid. There was no one around him at all, not to mention the brothel. The number of times he went there was probably not even a fraction of what her daughter had done.
Then, looking at his own daughter, who seemed to be a dandy and experienced person who was always wandering around in the streets, he felt really guilty. It was all the third brother's fault. He couldn't even take care of his own sister. What was the use of him? He didn't even stop his sister from going to the brothel.
Ye Xuening was irrationally angry.
Seeing her mother's embarrassed look, Shu Xiaoxiao shouted directly at the door: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, both of you come in."
Looking at the people coming in one after another, Ye Xue Ning took the thing her daughter gave her... well, it was at the bottom of the box and felt a little hot.
Seeing the two daughters-in-law coming in, he suddenly gave the things to them for some reason: "Your sister gave it to you, take it yourself!"
The two sisters-in-law who suddenly came in:..............
They came in to add makeup. As a young lady from the general's mansion, Shu Xiaoxiao didn't have many friends, so they not only came themselves, but also brought their younger sisters from her natal family. Weddings are all about happiness, and more people make it lively. Besides, doesn't Shu Xiaoxiao need happiness in her situation?
That's why they brought their younger sister, cousin and others with them so that their younger sister could chat with them. But they didn't expect that they received gifts from their younger sister before they even took out their things as soon as they entered the house.
Shu Xiaoxiao didn't expect there would be so many people. Seeing that her second sister-in-law was about to open the door, Shu Xiaoxiao quickly stopped her: "Second sister-in-law, why did you come so early? Sit down and have a rest."
As she said this, in front of everyone, she helped her second sister-in-law sit on the embroidery stool next to her.
At the same time, he whispered to his second sister-in-law, "Put the things away, go back and look at them, look at them in private!"
The three words "view in private" were spoken slowly and clearly. If this thing was to be opened in front of so many people, then they in the general's mansion would never have to go out and see anyone again.
The main thing is that she didn't expect that my mother was so fierce. She gave it to me as soon as I said it would be given. My sister-in-law also came with her younger sister.
After seeing her daughter's reaction, Ye Xue Ning realized that she had given it too early. No, she should not have accepted it. She wanted to return it to her daughter, but then she thought, there are many people here today, and if someone saw this kind of thing in her daughter's room, it would be difficult to explain.
He quickly handed the small cloth bag in his hand to the maid beside him and whispered, "Send it to my room when no one is paying attention and put it under my pillow first." Then he began to greet everyone.
But Zhao Yiyi did not sit down. After all, she came here to add makeup and brought people with her. There were not enough embroidered stools in the room for her to sit on. Besides, her sister's meaning was obviously that she could not watch it now.
Although she didn't know what was inside, she decided not to look at it. She handed the thing to the maid beside her. Zhou Wenxiu, who was about to open it, also silently handed the thing to the maid beside her to put it away. Well, she would go back and take a look.
Fortunately, all the people coming in now are our own people. If there were outsiders coming in and asking a few more questions, it would be difficult for them to explain.
The few little girls who came in were all staring at Shu Xiaoxiao. It was said that this young lady from the general's mansion had been raised in the countryside since her childhood because of her weak health. After returning to Kyoto, she hardly went out because of her weak health.
Now she is getting married suddenly. They are no longer surprised that she is marrying Prince Yun. What surprises them is that they heard that this young lady has been in a coma for the past few days. She is getting married now. On the surface, it is a marriage, but in fact it is a wedding for good fortune. The high and mighty Prince Yun is giving this young lady good fortune.
I just want to ask you who would dare to believe it. So when their elder sister invited them to come over to add to the makeup, they agreed without hesitation. They just wanted to come and see what this young lady looked like and how she could have made Prince Yun agree to marry her.
They came here to add makeup as a supplement, and their main purpose was to broaden their horizons. Now they couldn't help but be surprised to see that this young lady who often stayed at home was actually very beautiful. I don't know if it was because of her clothes or something else, but it was really hard to take their eyes off her and they wanted to take a second look.
Even the little girls who originally envied Shu Xiaoxiao, after seeing such a Shu Xiaoxiao, began to envy Yun Qinghan a little, and they also wanted to be close to such a beauty.
This face is just because she doesn't go out very often, otherwise how can there be two beauties in Kyoto? The first beauty has appeared.
After a closer look, there was no sign of illness on her face. She looked healthier than the others. Could it be a wedding for the auspicious occasion? But if it wasn't for the auspicious occasion, why was the wedding held in such a hurry?
You know, let alone the noble ladies in Kyoto, even ordinary families don't rush to get married. It will take at least half a year from the engagement to the wedding. And this marriage took less than seven days from the time they heard the news to today.
It was because of the urgency of the time, and the fact that the young lady from the general's mansion was weak, and everyone was so sure about it, that they believed it was a wedding for the auspicious occasion, wasn't it? It was because of these considerations that they reluctantly admitted that Prince Yun was really going to have a wedding for the auspicious occasion.
Now watching, isn't it a wedding? They said, how could a person like Yun Shizi be a wedding for others?
Although they were full of curiosity, they came here to put on makeup today, so no matter how curious they were, they could not ask these questions. They could only take a few curious glances, put on makeup obediently, and then get close to the beauties to chat.
Looking closer, you can see that the beauties have enviable skin, as delicate as jade and as smooth as a baby's. Their eyes are very sharp. No matter how good a person's skin is, there will be some blemishes, especially after putting on makeup, there will always be some differences between the face and neck, but this beauty does not have that problem.
Even the unpowdered part of her neck is more delicate than that of her face. In comparison, the powder on her face becomes a flaw. Only the rouge on her lips really adds a bit of complexion to the beauty. The rest is really redundant on the face of the future Crown Prince's Consort.
What a perfect skin color! The girls who noticed it stared at her more and more, and they couldn’t wait to ask her if she had any skin care tips.
Her skin care is simply perfect, but I know it is not appropriate to talk about this now. However, I have made up my mind that I must visit this little sister in the future. After all, my sister's sister is also her sister, and I must communicate more in the future.
They were all real relatives, and about the same age, so after a while they were chatting animatedly, and it felt like a wedding.
It was gradually getting brighter. Weddings usually take place at dusk, but Chinese people prefer to get ready early rather than late. They wanted to prepare everything yesterday. Shu Xiaoxiao prepared so early, not only because she was afraid of delays, but also for another reason, which was to add makeup.
As the sky brightened, the makeup process began. Although Shu Xiaoxiao did not have many friends, she had some in the General's Mansion. The ones in front were relatively close to her, and those who had friendships with the General's Mansion also came over one after another in the back.
Shu Xiaoxiao just sat there smiling, her face a little stiff. There were so many people coming that they had collected two boxes of various things, and people were still coming in an endless stream. It felt like everyone in Kyoto had come here.
In fact, generally speaking, the dowry from relatives and friends is completed a few days before the wedding, and will be put into Shu Xiaoxiao's dowry in advance, but Shu Xiaoxiao's wedding was so quick, so quick that they couldn't believe it, and they couldn't react in time, because according to them, Shu Xiaoxiao was still unconscious when they arrived at the hall yesterday!
Why did they add their makeup in advance? They said today that they just realized it, but in fact they are still confused. Although they are getting married, the wedding invitations were sent yesterday. I also heard that because Marquis Dingbei and Princess Anyang are far away at the border, the emperor and empress will come in person to preside over the wedding. How can they not be anxious?
Whether it was a good omen or not was none of their business, but the emperor and empress were attending in person, so how could they be absent? How could they not even put on makeup?
Besides, I have never heard of adding makeup after the wedding. There was not enough time yesterday, so everyone had to come to add makeup early in the morning. Because time was tight, they came to add makeup and just said hello and left, for fear that saying a few more words would delay the people behind and delay the wedding process. Then they would not be here to add makeup but to cause trouble. So they came quickly and left quickly.
Later on, they even saw that the Queen Mother had sent someone to deliver gifts for the make-up, and they breathed a sigh of relief. They finally made it in time. The make-up adding was like a competition, and they were afraid that they would be too late.
This scene can be described as the fastest makeup-adding process in history. Shu Xiaoxiao was able to smile at the beginning, but later she could only pretend that she needed to fix her makeup and could not move, so she let her mother and two sisters-in-law entertain her.
By the time the people who came to add makeup had finished, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law had not only lost their voices, but their legs were stiff from standing. They drank three cups of tea and sat on the bed to rest before they recovered.
At this time, the wedding procession also arrived at the general's mansion.
The room became busy again. Shu Xiaoxiao sat obediently beside the bed, letting her mother check her makeup. Then she put on the exquisite and beautiful phoenix crown that looked like a work of art.
As soon as the phoenix crown was placed on her head, Shu Xiaoxiao felt a weight on her head, and her neck lowered three points. This phoenix crown was really beautiful, but it was also very heavy!
It turns out that beauty comes at a price.
Shu Xiaoxiao tried hard to raise her head, took a deep breath, and covered her head with the veil.
Next, he has to wait for his bride. I hope he can be quick!
