254 In the blink of an eye, Tanabata, Xiao Ning and Xuan
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and it is the day of Qixi Festival. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zhan Xiaoyan came to the villa early in the morning and began to prepare for Zhan Xiaoning's ceremony. Because no matter how many relatives you have, on the day of Jilu, you have to put up a stone table banquet, and then everyone will testify to this woman who is Jilu this year, which means that she is already a woman who can talk about marriage.
"Sister, the hot water is boiling, what are we going to do next? Do you want to scrape the scales off the fish or pluck the feathers of the chicken? Zhan Xiaoyu walked in and asked. Because today is a smile and a ceremony, so although there are people in the villa, the brothers want to do what they can for this only sister who has been blind since childhood, and later saw the light after his grandfather's diagnosis, even if it is a small thing.
"Of course, the next step is to kill the chickens, that's why I asked you to boil hot water. In this way, one of you is responsible for getting the chicken neck cut, and then when the chicken blood is put in the bowl, put them in the boiling hot water, and when you blanch half a cup of tea, you pick it up, and the hair on your body has been almost burned off. Because it was a ten-table banquet, there were twenty chickens, one in the plate for cold cuts, and one in the middle bowl. Zhan Xiaoyan's movements to decorate the cold dishes on his hands are non-stop, and he is also a natural instruction here.
The time of the banquet is in the afternoon, just after noon, before dusk, and Zhan Xiaoning's and the ceremony is at three o'clock, the person invited to insert the hairpin is Liang Shiyun's mother, because she is the husband and wife love, filial piety of the children, and the friendship of the same generation, Mrs. Quanfu, and she also likes to show a smile Zhan Xiaoning sisters, pity them have lost their parents since childhood, but the four sisters and brothers who are self-reliant survive, so they are also happy to be the elders of Zhan Xiaoning and the hairpin at the ceremony.
"Smiling, I'm here! Because my mother said that you are the only one in the villa to receive guests, and you have to be busy with things in the kitchen, so she asked me to help you receive guests. But even if my mother doesn't tell me, I want to come over and help you early, because the man's words can be received by the regent, but if the lady is concerned, I think you will be busy with the kitchen, and you will not have time to receive it. Liang Shiyun said after walking into the kitchen. As soon as she came to the villa, she came to the kitchen, and she knew that on a day like today, Zhan Xiaoyan would definitely be busy.
"Shiyun, you're here! I guessed you'd come, it's just a matter of time. Well, then you can go out and sit now, or you can go and talk to Xiao Ning, because I'll take care of the kitchen by myself. Even though you're a good friend of mine, you're also a guest at the lodge, so you don't need to be busy with me. ”
Zhan Xiaoyan was making dim sum at this time, because it was already noon, and the hot dishes were already boiling in the pot and on the stove, and when the time came, the guests would come. And at this time, if this is the case, the elders should be allowed to receive the guests, but because they have no other elders except Guan Lao, they are only busy with everything, and they are also responsible for receiving the guests who come to watch the ceremony and use the banquet!
"Okay, then I'll go talk to Xiao Ning, I think you must have talked to her a lot yesterday afternoon, but she must still be nervous. Because the ceremony is the most important day for a woman besides getting married, and you and I have experienced it, so you can understand this feeling. Liang Shiyun said. Because she came over early, in addition to helping Zhan smile to receive the guests who came to the door, she came to talk to Xiao Ning and relieve her nervousness.
"Xiao Ning, I'm here! How are you feeling right now? I thought you would be very nervous, but looking at your appearance, it seems to be very calm, what's wrong? What are you thinking about right now? Liang Shiyun came to the door of Zhan Xiaoning's room, knocked on the door and came in, only to see Zhan Xiaoning standing next to the window, looking out calmly, not at all as nervous and restless as she had thought before.
"Sister Shiyun, you're here! Of course, I was a little nervous, but I was more relaxed and expectant. Because I am in time, I can do more for this family, and my sister will not have to worry as much as before. I know that as long as my sister is done worrying about my marriage, she can only focus on her own and her brother-in-law's affairs, and stop being as busy and hard as before, and I feel a lot more relaxed when I think of this. Zhan Xiaoning still didn't turn around, still looked outside and said.
"You sisters are like this, obviously you care about each other, but you don't always say everything, but you always think about each other. And I think she will always worry about it, until you find the right person for you, and then get married, have children, and become a mother, she will be watching you grow up step by step, learn to be a wife, learn to be a mother. No matter at any time, no matter how many years have passed, you will still be a family, and she has long been used to being a sister and a mother, and you also rely on her and trust her, don't you? Liang Shiyun didn't get too close, just sat down on a chair not far from the door, and said softly.
Zhan Xiaoyan is smart, gentle, considerate, and kind, she is also very clear, not to mention Zhan Xiaoning as a younger sister, even if she is older than her, she also trusts and relies on her, and Xiaoyan always takes care of everyone, I believe that the regent will like her because of this. And Zhan Xiaoyan always arranged and handled everything when they didn't notice it, and when they didn't notice and think about it, everything had already been arranged, and she was such a person.
"yes, I know! But now I've tried my best to do my own thing, and then let my sister see my understanding, believing that I can handle everything by myself, whether it's my sister, wife, mother, any role, I can do it well, so that she doesn't have to worry too much. Zhan Xiaoning looked out the window, thinking about the scenes she had seen since she regained her sight, and when she didn't regain her sight, imagining what it would be like if she could see it, everything appeared clearly in front of her eyes.
"Well, then wait until an hour later, and the ceremony will begin, now Xiaoyan, and your two brothers are busy for you, making all the preparations for today, when I just came over, Xiaoyan was busy in the kitchen, making snacks for entertaining guests, I am afraid that you will be nervous, so let me come and talk to you." When the guests come to the door, I'm going to go out to say hello, and as for you, the protagonist, it's time to start dressing up, whether it's you yourself or let the maid help you. Liang Shiyun finally said.
Although she is now in Zhan Xiaoning's room, of course there are people guarding the door, and then a temporary tea stall was set up a hundred meters away from the villa, and there were people in the village watching there. Because there is only a mountain villa in this vicinity, and there are no other people, Ben Lei sent someone to set up a tea stall a hundred meters away from the mountain villa early in the morning, mainly to see that if a carriage comes, someone will come to inform him.
"Sister Shiyun, then you can dress me up! The clothes were already ready, and the hair was scattered, waiting for the lady who put the hairpin in me to coil it up. But I want my sister to help me paint the makeup, so please Sister Shiyun you put on my clothes, bring a bracelet or something, and then you help me call my sister over, and then I will trouble Sister Shiyun to receive guests. Zhan Xiaoning said as she walked to the front of the wardrobe and took out the plum red dress that her sister had specially made for her today's ceremony.
"Okay, then let me change your clothes, this set of plum red clothes is very beautiful, you can see how much thought was put into making this dress with a smile. She embroidered the patterns on it at once, and it was also embellished with pearls that had been cut in half. Liang Shiyun took the clothes that Zhan Xiaoyan held in her hand, spread them out and laid them flat on the bed, looked at the beautiful dress and said. Usually Xiaoyan is already very careful to make clothes for Xiao Ning, not to mention that on such a day, this whole set of dresses, you can feel her sister's care and love for her sister!
"Yes, because my sister started making this dress a month ago, and it looks very simple, but the fine stitches, and then the pattern I like, and the embellishment of this half pearl on the clothes, all take time and mind. Okay, please Sister Shiyun, you put on one by one for me, because it's such a season, so my sister also made a cloak for me, so that I can keep warm when I wear this dress in the future. ”
Zhan Xiaoning had already taken off her middle coat and outer coat, just waiting to put on new clothes. And in fact, it won't take more than half an hour to change clothes and makeup, so she still has enough time, just waiting for her sister to be busy and come over to put on makeup.
Zhan Xiaoning also wanted to go out to help, but her sister had already told her that she couldn't appear in front of people before the ceremony began, so she had to stay in the room all the time, even if she had to move around, she couldn't go out of the inner courtyard, so she stayed in the room after breakfast. My sister told her that the three men that her brother-in-law had selected for her would also appear at the banquet today, so let her observe for herself, and her brother-in-law would provide her with the opportunity to contact them one by one.
"Xiaoyan, how are you busy? I've already changed Xiao Ning's clothes, and she's waiting for you to put on her makeup! I think she must have told you that you're ready to put on her makeup, right? After Liang Shiyun dressed Zhan Xiaoning, she went out to ask Ben Lei again, but there were no guests coming, so she came to the kitchen again and asked Zhan Xiaoyan, who had already started to plate the dim sum.
"Yes, I know, because I said that I was going to put makeup on Xiao Ning, so now after putting the dim sum on the plate, it will pass, and the guests are almost coming, so I'll trouble you to receive it." Okay, I'm going to Xiao Ning's side, and I won't come out again until the ceremony begins, so I'm really going to trouble you, Shiyun. After Smiling Zhan put the finished orange cake on the plate, the five kinds of dim sum were finished, and the dishes were all cooked, and they were heated on the stove, and they could be served directly after the ceremony.
"Alright, I'll go to the front hall. When I went to look for Ben Lei just now, I had already seen that you divided the banquet into men's and women's seats, the women's table has seven tables, and the men's table only has three tables. Liang Shiyun and Zhan Xiaoyan walked out of the kitchen together, although one of them was going to the inner courtyard and the other was going to the front hall, which were two directions, at least now there was a section of the road that was walked together, and then they separated when they walked around the corner.
"Sister, are you busy? Then come and put on my makeup! I've changed my clothes, my hair is scattered, and I've already combed it, so I'm waiting for you to put on my makeup, and the guests should be coming soon, right? Zhan Xiaoning heard the sound of the door being pushed open, although she didn't look back, but from the footsteps, she could hear that it was her sister who walked in, and then saw that it was her who came over from the mirror, and smiled sweetly.
"Okay, I'll put on your makeup. Actually, if you're very nervous, then I'll be with you all the time, but I don't see that you don't show any nervousness, so you'll be busy in the kitchen all the time, leaving half an hour before the ceremony to put on makeup. Come, wash your face first, this is a potion specially configured by me, which can make your skin whiter, and I will apply rouge and lipstick to you to make it even whiter and redder. Zhan Xiaoyan walked to the basin, poured her specially configured potion into it, and then led Zhan Xiaoning here, holding her hair that would fall down, signaling that she could wash her face.
Zhan Xiaoning picked up a handful of water with both hands, wet her face, and began to wash it seriously and carefully. She knew that her sister would put on her makeup, which must be different from usual, at least it would be more complicated, otherwise, she would not set aside half an hour to put on makeup, and a simple makeup would be enough in half an hour. The dress that my sister made for herself is a red plum pattern, and I believe that the makeup she put on herself must be in line with it, because my sister said before that she would make herself at the ceremony show a beauty that she had never tried before, so Zhan Xiaoning is also looking forward to it!
Even if it's not for those guests who come, it's also to keep her and the most beautiful time in the ceremony, my sister also said that she will leave her today's picture. She has always known her sister's drawing skills, so in order to make her sister the most beautiful, she will definitely perform well! (To be continued.) )
