Chapter Ninety-Seven: Makeup (1)
Ji Yu's wedding day is approaching day by day.
The female dependents who came to add makeup to Ji Yu came one after another, and those who had dealings with the Weining Marquis Mansion came to the door one after another. Xiao Zou was so busy greeting the guests that his feet barely touched the ground.
Of course, Zou also has to add makeup to Ji Yu.
Zou didn't have an idea how much to add. This kind of thing is inconvenient to discuss with Xu Zheng, so he discussed with Xu Jinyu: "I plan to send a set of red gold head jewelry to add makeup to Sister Yu'er, do you think it will look thin?" ”
Xu Jinyu thought for a while and said, "It stands to reason that a set of red gold head jewelry to add makeup is not stingy. However, after all, we are living in the Hou Mansion, so it is a little rare to give such a makeup gift. Moreover, my cousin and I get along very well and take care of me everywhere. Let's send more of them! ”
Zou also felt that it made sense and responded with a smile.
The Xu family is not very wealthy, but Xu Han has been a fellow acquaintance for more than ten years, and the family wealth left behind is enough for the mother and son to live a comfortable life. Before coming to the capital, the Zou family deliberately brought over most of the family's fine and soft properties, just to give Xu Zheng some money in the future. It's not hard to pick up some makeup gifts these days.
As for Xu Jinyu herself, she has been secretly preparing gifts since a month ago.
The mother and daughter each brought gifts and went to the Agarwood Pavilion.
Coincidentally, as soon as I walked to the door of the Agarwood Pavilion, I met Gu Caiping's mother and daughter who came to add makeup to Ji Yu. Zou smiled and greeted Mrs. Gu with a few words: "Did Mrs. Gu come here today to add makeup to Sister Yu'er?" ”
Mrs. Gu responded with a smile: "Yes, Sister Yu'er is married for such a big happy event, of course I have to add makeup." After a pause, he sighed again: "When Hui Niang was alive, she had the best relationship with Sister Yu. It's a pity that she left early and couldn't watch Sister Yu'er get married. ”
Intentionally or unintentionally, always mentioning the Gu family is nothing more than to show that the Gu family and the Ji family have a close relationship.
Fortunately, Mrs. Gu didn't know that Xiao Zou intended to let Ji Ze marry Xu Jinyu as a continuation, otherwise, wouldn't her angry eyes pop out?
Thinking like this, Zou suddenly had an indescribable sense of superiority in his heart.
The elders greeted each other, and Xu Jinyu was not idle, and smiled at Gu Caiping: "Sister Gu, what makeup gift did you prepare for Cousin Yu?" ”
Since Xu Jinyu openly and honestly "communicated" with Gu Caiping that day, the relationship between the two has eased a lot. Regardless of whether Gu Caiping really let down her guard, at least on the surface, she was much more affectionate.
Gu Caiping pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just a little gadget that my daughter's family likes, and it's not worth mentioning." I don't know what gift Sister Xu has prepared? ”
refused to say the gift he prepared, but came to inquire about the makeup gift prepared by Xu Jinyu. Obviously, he had a competitive mind.
"I embroidered a table screen for my cousin." Xu Jinyu just didn't notice Gu Caiping's careful thoughts, and joked with a smile: "Sister Gu and Cousin Yu have an unusual relationship, and the gifts prepared should always be much more expensive than mine." I'll have to take a look at it later. ”
In just a few words, Gu Caiping, who listened to it, felt comfortable in her heart, and her eyebrows and eyes stretched: "Since you want to see it, when I give it to my cousin later, we will look at it together." ”
Gee! The heart eye is so small! Speaking of which, there is still a tuck.
Xu Jinyu glanced at the brocade box held in Chaoxia's hand, and was really a little curious
Xu Jinyu's mother and daughter and Gu Caiping's mother and daughter came together, Ji Yu greeted each other at the door with a smile, and sent the maid to Tinglan Courtyard to invite Xiao Zou over.
Of course, the elders must be present to add makeup. All the dowry gifts should also be recorded on the dowry list.
Xu Jinyu glanced at Ji Yu and said in a low voice of concern: "Cousin Yu, you seem to have cleared up a little these days. ”
Ji Yu was not fat in the first place, but she has lost some weight in the past few days, and her chin is pointy.
Ji Yu smiled self-deprecatingly: "My appetite is not very good these days, I can't sleep well, and it is inevitable to lose weight." "No matter how calm and calm a girl is, she will inevitably be a little nervous before she gets married. Ji Yu is no exception!
Gu Caiping also came over, smiled and took Ji Yu's hand and comforted: "The Li family is well-known for its decent family style, and the second son of Li is clean and diligent, so you don't have to worry." ”
Ji Yu resisted the urge to withdraw her hand, and smiled lightly.
This differential treatment made Gu Caiping feel a little uncomfortable. Ji Yu and Xu Jinyu talked and laughed, but they were lukewarm to themselves, and they didn't say a few words.
Xiao Zou soon came.
After some polite greetings, Mrs. Gu first smiled and gave a makeup gift. "After my daughter's family gets married, it's always good to have more self-esteem. I have a fat powder shop here that I gave to my sister, and I can make more purchases every month. ”
In the small brocade box, there is the title deed of the rouge shop.
Xiao Zou smiled politely: "Mrs. Gu's makeup gift is too valuable, how embarrassing is it for us." ”
Mrs. Gu smiled: "This is something precious, it's just a little bit of my care." Hui Niang has been married to the Hou Mansion for eight years, and she has always loved Sister Yu as her own sister. Now that Sister Yu is getting married, I will do my best for Hui Niang. ”
Regardless of whether Mrs. Gu's words were true or false, at least they sounded comforting.
Ji Yu also had to accept this favor: "Thank you, aunt." ”
Zou listened from the sidelines, and his expression suddenly became a little subtle and embarrassed. Compared with Mrs. Gu, the makeup gift she prepared was a little shabby, how could she handle it?
Zou couldn't help but look at Xu Jinyu. What to do? Do you want to go back and prepare a new one?
Xu Jinyu glanced at Zou soothingly. It doesn't matter, just follow the original makeup gift. Mrs. Gu has a plan to give a heavy gift, and we don't have any intentions.
Zou felt a little relieved, and also gave a makeup gift. A set of red gold head jewelry, as well as a few extremely expensive clothes. If you don't compare it with Mrs. Gu, it's over.
Then it was Gu Caiping's turn and Xu Jinyu's turn.
Gu Caiping took the brocade box from Chaoxia's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Yu, this is a box of pearls that my grandmother gave me on my birthday last year. ”
The box of Nanzhu is the size of the whole box, all round and transparent, neatly placed in the brocade box, shining with dazzling luster.
Ji Yu didn't expect Gu Caiping to give such a valuable gift, so she retreated, so she had to accept it.
Xu Jinyu said with a smile: "Cousin, the makeup gift I gave you is six double-sided embroideries embroidered by myself, which can just make a small table screen." ”
In early summer, I was busy opening the wrapped embroidery. Ji Yu looked at it carefully, and was very happy in her heart.
Gu Caiping smiled on her face, but she was not happy in her heart. She gave a whole box of Nanzhu, and she didn't see Ji Yu so happy!
At this moment, Hanyu hurriedly came in to report: "Mrs. Qiyu, Princess An Ning has personally come to add makeup to the second young lady." ”
