Chapter 242

The auspicious time has arrived, and Chen Bingyi personally welcomed Song Huaen in with the gift of a flat wife from the eight sedan chairs in Xicheng.

Although Song Huaen is a concubine, she is also from a famous family. The Song family in Xicheng has stood in Huaizhou Mansion for a hundred years, and there have been two Jinshi in the house. Although it has now declined into half a merchant family, it has not dishonored the reputation left by its ancestors in raising children.

Among Shi Jun's confidants, Chen Bingyi is the first with the most flexible brain. In addition to Song Huaen's background, he also has her upbringing.

Although he now has the conditions to invite his husband to come to the house to raise the children, words are always better than examples. Mothers have considerable influence in the education of their children.

He hadn't noticed this until he returned from a war trip. Seeing that the two milk dolls in Shi Jun's family are actually more well-behaved than his two daughters who have become big girls.

The difference during this period is no longer a matter of money being able to change, it is a matter of upbringing. He hired a gentleman for his two children, but many things were too late. For example, the self-confidence that a woman should have, and the pride that a daughter should have. When the daughter is not yet married, but has already given birth to an outer heart. The saddest thing is that he, the father, owes so much to his children.

Not only were the two daughters raised, but even the eldest son was raised crookedly. Although he found out relatively early, the ideas that his mother had instilled since he was a child were already ingrained.

So Chen Bingyi thinks that while he is young and his body is still good. Married a woman from a scholarly family, and personally raised two outstanding sons.

In Huaizhou City, he was able to cling to people's homes. He took a fancy to Song Huaen, who was born as a concubine and would not be too domineering and well-educated. Marrying into the door as an equal wife will not hurt the status of the eldest son of the wife. In this way, it can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

Until today, Cheng Wanyu didn't know who the woman's surname was. Her maiden name is Gou, and she has no name and is only replaced by Gou Niangzi. Because the surname is too ugly, people often make fun of the surname dog. So she never wanted to tell others what her surname was, and would rather others call her Chen Bingyi's family.

Now others call her Mrs. Chen, but Cheng Wanyu feels sorry for her. Even the name she had always been proud of had to be given to another woman. From tomorrow onwards, the one in front of me will be called "Mrs. Da Chen", and the other one will be called "Mrs. Xiao Chen".

Mrs. Gou never thought that she would be so beautiful. The self in the bronze mirror is like a fairy in the sky.

Little Red took a white thread and twisted the fluff from her face. He shaved her eyebrows thin with a small blade, and then took out the soap box. Wash the face of Mrs. Da Chen, Gou, and take out the red jade paste that Cheng Wanyu must use every day to apply it to her.

Da Chen's wife, Gou, who was lying on the kang, didn't understand what she was applying to her face. If the hour is coming, why should she lie here dry?

"Xiaohong, what did you put on my face?" couldn't help but ask Xiaohong's Gou family, and he could smell the thick fragrance of roses on his face.

"It's called red jade paste, and it's a paste made of almonds and roses. You see how delicate our lady's face is, and she has to put it on every night. Xiaohong stretched out her hand and massaged Gou's face over and over again.

"Your face has been ruined for a long time, and you can't hang up even if you wear makeup. First apply a piece of red jade paste to you, and the makeup drawn after a while will be natural and beautiful! Xiaohong's words deeply touched Gou Shi lying on the kang, she didn't know that Cheng Wanyu still had this Laoshizi's laborious effort before going to bed every day.

After washing off the red jade paste on her face, Xiaohong took out a flower stick from a blue and white porcelain-covered sandalwood box, twisted it into powder and spread it in the palm of her hand. Thinly applied it to Mrs. Da Chen's face, and in front of the bronze mirror, Gou saw that the powder was purple. couldn't help but question: "People's faces are all white, and you are all purple, will it be ugly to go out?" ”

Xiaohong frowned: "Your face is so dark, how scary it looks to suddenly paint white." Use purple powder to cover your face, don't move yet, and wipe it on your neck well! ”

After a while, Mrs. Da Chen, Gou Shi, really saw that the woman in the bronze mirror had changed her appearance greatly. The skin is delicate, and it seems that because of the rouge, it plays a role. I can see that I am white and red, as if I am ten years younger.

"Your face is thin and long, and you look old with slender eyebrows. Now that you're thick in the front and thin in the back, brown eyebrows are much better looking than black. Add this color of lipstick, take advantage of how good your face looks! Xiaohong's craftsmanship worked, and the Gou family, who turned around, startled Cheng Wanyu.

"Sure enough, it's changed a lot, look at how good this dress looks like!" Cheng Wanyu reached out and pulled her hair together, Gou's hair was too frizzy.

Xiaohong's Feiyun bun that was finally combed up, but she couldn't stand up. Cheng Wanyu picked up a bottle of osmanthus oil and poured it into her hand without hesitation. Stranded all her hair, and then fixed it with a flat square.

Mrs. Da Chen, Gou, looked at the bottle of hair oil that Cheng Wanyu had used up painfully, but she also knew that it was useless to protest at this time. And the master and servant of the family are dedicated to themselves, and she can only endure it for the sake of the face of the lady in charge.

Wearing the clothes prepared for her by Cheng Wanyu, Mrs. Gou suddenly felt like she was living again.

"Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses and saddles, look at who dares to laugh at you now?" Cheng Wanyu couldn't help but nod again and again: "Go out for a while, no matter what others say." You remember, all you need is a smile, and Red will do the rest for you. ”

Gou knew that Cheng Wanyu was now fighting for her face. nodded honestly and decently, and walked out of the door with Xiaohong's help.

Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Xie, who were busy receiving guests in the front yard, suddenly saw Cheng Wanyu leading a noble lady over. The two didn't think of who it was, and walked over hand in hand. Anxiously whispered to Cheng Wanyu: "The old Chen family hasn't come out yet, is it really not coming out?" ”

The tall sister-in-law hurriedly turned: "Oh, this dead woman." It's time to become a turtle with a shrunken head! ”

"Hahahaha! You don't recognize me either! Da Chen's wife Gou couldn't help but be proud, and her voice attracted the attention of the two.

"Oh my God! It's so pretty! ”

"yes, I didn't even recognize you!"

"I knew you could be beautiful like this, what are you looking for a little man to do!"

It's too late to say these things, and it's not the time. Firecrackers rang off outside, and the newcomers had already entered the door.

Cheng Wanyu hurriedly pulled Gou into the happy hall and sat upright. Xiaohong took the tray that came out of nowhere, with a greeting gift for the newlyweds.

Ah Zi commanded the maid who had just come to the Chen family to wait with two cups of hot tea, but Chen Bingyi, who was half-incense, led a man in a dark red wedding dress and walked in.

The corners of Cheng Wanyu's eyes jumped unconsciously, it seems that the woman Chen Bingyi married was not as 'virtuous and virtuous' as he thought. R1152
