Chapter 483: Giving Away
June 12.
On the fourth watch, there was a light rain, sweeping away the stuffiness of the days, and so on the fifth watch, pushing open the window, the faint lotus fragrance and the clear morning breeze came to the face, only to feel refreshed, comfortable and pleasant.
"The county lord is so blessed." The grooming aunt sent by the palace smiled and said hello to Nianfu when she entered the door, "Even the heavenly prince is so beautiful, this must be a good marriage." β
Although he knew that there was a lot of flattery in his words, Nianfu still smiled and nodded to the side.
Sydney hurriedly handed over the purse, and when the aunt checked it, she knew that the reward was rich, and she smiled brighter and brighter. Carrying the dressing box, he stepped forward and began to serve Nianfu to bathe and freshen up.
As early as after Cuirong came, she began to strictly follow the beauty secrets of the court nobles to carry out the maintenance of Nianfu. It is because she has long faded from the tips of her hair to the nails that she used to live in the countryside, and her skin is smooth and crystal clear.
The only regret is that Nianfu can't keep long nails or dye his nails because he has to cook, but this can't be difficult for the masters in the palace.
Cui Rong had already prepared a set of polished round and beautiful crystal nails for Nianfu, which was not only dyed with bright red Kodan, but also ingeniously inlaid with fine gemstones, which was extremely beautiful.
Even the aunt in the palace was amazed, "The county lord's nails are so beautiful, which master did you ask to do this?" β
Nianfu smiled, but did not speak.
It should be said that the beauty masters of this era are too powerful, and they have long known the concept of making fake nails, and have developed a set of quite complete methods and methods. It can be put on at any time and can be easily removed. It's a pity that in addition to dyeing all kinds of red. Not much has changed.
Nianfu just borrowed the concept of nail art from later generations, and drew a few grass patterns for Cui Rong, and she looked for someone to polish such a beautiful set of nails.
Today, she will open a show first, and when she turns around, Cui Rong plans to use this set of techniques in the idle garden. As long as the customer spends more than how much money on a meal, they can get a free manicure.
I have to say that since Nianfu deliberately pulled the girl to Xianyuan to take over the position of shopkeeper, she has slowly learned to be "bad".
It's a pity that because she "killed" her fiancΓ© before, neither she nor Liu Er, who is a criminal minister, can serve her today, and can only work as an errand outside.
But when you get married today, there are more things outside the house than things in the house. There's Cui Rong here. Nianfu is more assured. That's just the chance to give you a chance. Observe whether the other girls are up to the task.
Seeing that Nianfu didn't answer where the nails were made, the grooming aunt was also very interested and didn't ask more. Only carefully wash and bathe Nianfu with incense, smear balm, and then change into bridal clothes layer by layer. Comb your hair and apply makeup.
The custom of small families in the capital is that the man sends head jewelry and bridal clothes. But a big family is not married into the royal family. Otherwise, it is generally not done like this, and the woman prepares the wedding dress and head face by herself.
Rao is aunt has seen a lot of the world, but when the maid held out the bride's head. Still taken aback.
The phoenix crown that King Ping prepared for his daughter was not too heavy, on the contrary, it looked very light.
The crown features a pair of phoenixes, holding a round of ruby-encrusted sunrises. At the bottom is a peony with entwined branches, and then there are auspicious things such as pomegranates, bats, gourds, vases, etc. Fei doesn't have a lot of gold, but the whole craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, and this is where the admiration lies.
That aunt is a discerning person, and she naturally knows that whether it is a pattern carved by yin or yang. But the phoenix crown of Nianfu is all made of a small piece of gold, inlaid with gems to make feather petals, and then a little bit to spell out the phoenix flowers, to make a three-dimensional shape, such a process, to be honest, more valuable than the gold.
When Nianfu was combed with makeup and put on the phoenix crown, the phoenix wings on the crown automatically trembled lightly without wind.
Nian Fu just looked left and right in the mirror, and the gems on the wings emitted a dazzling brilliance in the swaying of light and shadow, as if several small spotlights caught people's eyes.
If ordinary people may not be able to afford such a phoenix crown, a pair of phoenix eyes that are partial to the blessing are extremely beautiful, and against the backdrop of this phoenix crown, they are even more looking forward to Shenfei, which is beautiful.
The grooming aunt unconsciously admired, "The old slave has lived for most of his life, and this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful phoenix crown and such a beautiful bride." β
Of course, Nianfu also felt that he was beautiful today.
However, the main hero is not the aunt who dressed her, but the father who made this phoenix crown for her.
In the days when Mu Shaoqin parted with Hui Niang, he used his thoughts over and over again to overcome all kinds of misfortunes. In his mind, he carefully traced the appearance of his wife, and then thought about what kind of clothes and what kind of headdress to make for her. And this phoenix crown is the compensation that Mu Shaoqin wants to give his wife the most. It's just that Hui Niang didn't use it, and her daughter was cheaper.
As soon as they cleaned up, the woman's guests began to come to the door.
There are not many people invited by the Pingwang Mansion, except for his own relatives, there are no outsiders. Therefore, it can basically be said to be a big gathering of the emperor's relatives and relatives.
Anyway, those friends will invite them when they break the garden, and their family will not repeat it. Moreover, summoning the relatives of the imperial family here can also make the guests over there have more fun.
This is also the thoughtfulness of the Pingwang Mansion.
Even if the woman's family is more noble than the man, but when a woman marries her husband, she still has to be a man as a banquet guest.
Among the woman's family, Yong'an and Zhenshun, who were good friends with Nianfu, were the first to come, and they also brought Xiao Shouning with them.
Seeing the well-dressed bride in the new house, Shou Ning's small mouth suddenly couldn't close. Standing at the door and watching, he didn't dare to approach for a long time.
Yongning quipped, "Look at your little aunt, are you dressed like a fairy today?" β
Shou Ning nodded vigorously, and then asked with envy and admiration, "When I was a bride, could I be so beautiful?" β
A room full of people were all talking, chanting blessings, "If you are a bride, you will be more beautiful than me." β
Shou Ning said without hesitation, "Then I want to marry now." β
Everyone laughed heartily again, but diluted some of the sorrow and parting from the wedding dress.
When Changle came over, he saw that there were very few guests invited by King Ping's Mansion, and he couldn't help but feel a headache. deliberately said sourly, "As an only daughter, my little aunt is of course an exclusive parent, but in the end, the kinship is too thin, and there is no one who carries you on the sedan chair, right?" Do you want my colt to do it for you? β
Zhenshun was annoyed when she heard this, and immediately attacked, "If the little aunt is weak, then what are we?" There is no one in my aunt's family to carry it, and it is not your turn to be a junior like your colt. Even if you want a wheel, there is Princess Yongning and my colt in front of you, so you don't have to worry about it! β
Changle only felt that his face was gloomy, and he wanted to say something to redeem it, but suddenly heard a noise outside the courtyard, like the hearty laughter of many young people.
Nianfu also wondered, could it be that the greeting came so soon?
But after a while, I heard Cui Rong say loudly outside the window, "Back to the county lord, many people such as Uncle Hui have sent their children over to say goodbye." Many of them are your cousins. Right now, I am in front of the prince and princess, vying to carry you out, and it is very lively! β
She had heard Changle's words outside the door just now, and she deliberately didn't enter the door angrily, so she replied outside the door and gagged her mouth fiercely.
Ha! Zhenshun is a straight temper, and immediately smiled, and looked at Changle again, "I'll just say it?" No matter how the little aunt looks at it, she is not a blessed person, if she wants to carry her on the sedan chair, she must have this blessing to be able to do it! β
But Nianfu was a little busy, and hurriedly asked Sydney to go out and say to Cui Rong, "Suddenly these relatives came, is there enough banquet at home?" Do you want to go out and book in a hurry? β
Cui Rong pursed her lips and smiled, "Go in and tell the county lord to put one hundred and twenty hearts." The prince has already prepared the kitchen in advance, and today is to accommodate more guests! β
It turns out that Daddy still has a hand? Nian Fu was surprised and delighted.
But what surprised her even more was that it was still to come, those relatives did not come in vain, and everyone was generously courteous.
Originally, Changle thought that there was only one Huichangbo's house to support the faΓ§ade, but when she saw the pile of antique jewelry sent in, she was dumbfounded.
Who are these people, and how can they give away such good things? This is simply more than what she received when she got married, and it is even more beautiful!
Yongning sneered in his heart, there are still three catties of iron on the broken ship, not to mention that the Mu family used to be a famous family that had been prominent for hundreds of years. Although the clan has perished and withered, people's relatives are always there.
can marry with the Mu family back then, how can they be some unknown juniors? It's just that the Mu family doesn't go to them right now, but when something really happens, who doesn't come to cheer them up?
At this time, Nian Fu admired his father's wisdom in deciding to pay the dowry in advance. Because the makeup she received today alone is enough to make a very decent dowry for her!
This has to be lifted out, which is the hatred of the red fruit. But how can you not lift it out? The rules of the newlyweds should have spread out the gifts and dowries given by the guests for everyone to see.
Therefore, the big red boxes that had just given the dowry for Nianfu were moved out of the treasury again, put these gifts on hold, and went out with her wedding sedan chair for a while.
Seeing that the dowry was being raised more and more, Changle was so jealous that he wanted to crush the handkerchief in his hand. Even Zhuo Ge, who was in the outer courtyard, looked a little uneasy.
With such a large fortune, if you give it to him, how much can you do?
But these things are either dowries or congratulatory gifts, all of them have been spread out across the Ming Road, even if Ouyang Kang is his subordinate, he is embarrassed to exchange these congratulatory gifts for money.
At this moment, Zhuo Ge had some regrets.
When he married Changle, he wanted to be related to Da Liang, but he didn't expect Changle's popularity to be so poor. Not only can't he please the emperor, but even the brothers and sisters don't have any power.
Knowing today, how good would he have calculated that day?
was annoyed, when suddenly a burst of firecrackers crackled and exploded.
Noon was approaching, and the bridegroom was coming.
The news blew into the inner courtyard like a gust of wind, and Nianfu, who was still talking and laughing with Yongning, suddenly stopped laughing, and Zhen Shun quickly picked up the hijab and covered her with a quick hand, and solemnly admonished,
"From now on, until the bridegroom is revealed, don't fall off."
Nianfu's heart was pounding fast, and her hands and feet were instantly cold, she ...... Is this really going to get married? (To be continued......)
