Chapter 144: To be married
Xiangmei took the initiative to come over to measure the size, plate making, and tailoring of the cloud beads.
Yun Zhu saw that her skills were very skillful, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good hand." Then Liu Meng is his blessing to marry you. ”
Xiangmei smiled: "What is not blessed, it is good that he doesn't bully me in the future." ”
"If he dares to bully you, your brother, will your mother agree? Don't talk about your brother and your mother, even I won't agree. He Liu Meng didn't have that much courage. They both laughed.
Xiangmei helped her cut it, and Yunzhu had to come to the sewing in person. Yunzhu didn't have much confidence, for fear that if it was sewn crookedly, people would laugh at it.
"Sister Song, what flowers do you like?"
"Flowers? I like everything that looks good. ”
"No, you have to say something."
"Is it any use?"
Xiangmei pointed to the hem and said: "This circle has to embroider something to look good, and it has to embroider some flowers to look rich and auspicious." ”
Yunzhu hurriedly said: "Forget it, I'll sew it, it's really not good to embroider flowers." ”
Xiangmei smiled: "It's okay, I can also help you with this, what I want is to buy some gold and silver threads, add some appropriately, and use them as embellishments to brighten up this outfit." ”
Yun Zhu was a little moved when she saw that Xiangmei attached so much importance to the set of clothes in her hand.
Yunzhu sighed: "The big flowers look a little cheesy, and it would be nice to add a little pattern embellishment." So you don't have to work too hard, after all, you only wear it once. ”
Xiangmei smiled: "Okay, just do what Sister Song said." I'll dress it up and help you clean it up. ”
The two deliberated again. What patterns are embroidered on the belt, what colors are matched, and how big the flowers are embroidered on the skirt are also discussed one by one.
The wedding dress is lined with fragrant plums. Yunzhu didn't think it was that difficult, but she still had to prepare some other needles and threads. I thought it would be better to take the opportunity to make two more bodies for Tian Tian.
The next day, Yunzhu asked Xiangmei to go shopping, she planned to buy two boxes of fat powder, and she also wanted to give Xiangmei a copy.
There is only one shop selling gouache in Qingtang Town, which is at the intersection of West Street, and their home is very low-key. The doors and windows of other houses are all red paint, or solemn and elegant black paint, but this one is painted the same color as bamboo. It's very green and quiet. There are two bonsai pots in front of the door, one is lush autumn and the other is jasmine, but unfortunately this season has long passed the jasmine flowering period. Otherwise, you can smell the fragrance.
Yunzhu and Xiangmei lifted the bamboo curtain and went in. There are customers in the store. The two shops are connected into one. It is not like other stores with high shelves and densely displayed with various goods, but it is made into several Bogu shelves, which looks very chic.
The lady who greeted them was a woman in a light willow dress, with a round bun and a turquoise hairpin. The complexion is fair, with a suitable smile, and it is very kind.
She seriously introduced Yunzhu and Xiangmei. To Yunzhu's surprise, this company sells fat powder in boxes and bottles. Not pottery, porcelain, etc., but shells. The shells are also polished. It is painted in a different color, and there are patterns painted on it, which is very chic. It is said that these were all made by the proprietress herself.
The hostess recommended two boxes of rouge to them. Yun Zhu saw a pair of magpies depicted on the shell, opened the lid, there was no fishy smell, but a pure floral fragrance, elegant and pleasant, not pungent.
Xiangmei glanced at it and smiled: "The color is okay." ”
Yunzhu bought it when she saw that Xiangmei liked it, and looked at several other varieties.
After returning home, Yunzhu picked a box of mouth pearl and a box of gouache to send fragrant plums.
Xiangmei happily accepted and thanked Yunzhu.
"By the way, Sister Song, have you ever thought about asking someone to help you comb your hair?"
"Comb your hair?"
"yes, you'll have to find someone to help you get dressed and comb your hair. You can't make it yourself, I can't, and it's not appropriate to say anything more. ”
Yunzhu realized that she had to find someone to help with her makeup, but who was the right person to ask, these people she knew didn't seem to be very reliable, and she didn't have a clue when she thought about it.
Xiangmei smiled: "Sister Song, don't be embarrassed, I'll ask my mother if I have any ideas when I go back." ”
"Okay."
Don't look at her identity, she has been married once, but she really has no experience at all. There is no reliable family member around to take care of her, and it gives her a headache when she thinks about it.
Finally, on October 27th, everything was settled, and Yunzhu was about to usher in her new life. I heard that Ping'an said that the relatives of the Feng family are coming, and those who have some friendship between Huaishu Village and the Feng family will also come, and the village chief and patriarch. The officiant and witnesses were also invited.
Ping An also went to the market to hire a jujube red horse and a pannier chair. The plan was to take Yunzhu around the village. Yunzhu objected: "This is too ostentatious, it's better to keep a low profile." ”
Ping An insisted, "I just want everyone to know about our marriage." Plug the mouths of those people too. Besides, this is not the case with any family in the village for happy events. We are married by Ming Media, so why hide it. ”
Seeing him like this, Yunzhu had no choice but to stop saying anything else.
With the joint efforts of her and Xiangmei, it took almost two months for the wedding dress to be done. Tailored, simple but not simple. Most of the clothes that Ping An wants to wear are made of Xiangmei, and the shoes are made of two pairs. As for the bed skirt, pillow and other Yunzhu are in a hurry, but it is not enough, so I have to use some of what Xiangmei made in the past. The needlework is able to cope with the past.
Ping An discussed the banquet with Mrs. Feng again, and planned a total of ten tables. I invited Master Jiang to come over and help. It is said that Chef Jiang also complained bitterly, but he couldn't invite Yunzhu to come over to cook this time, for fear of messing up their banquet.
Not only Yunzhu, but even Feng Bai's didn't help, but little Master Jiang was in a hurry, so he had to go and tell his brother to ask Master Jiang to take a day off from the restaurant to come over to help.
That Master Jiang was not very happy at first, but later Feng Bai came forward to find him and said: "Song Niangzi has helped you a lot, you can't be so unrighteous, it is also a relative who is beating around the bush." It can't be too absolute. ”
The words made Master Jiang's face red, coupled with his wife Bai's nagging, he had to agree if he didn't agree.
Master Jiang's leave let Master Zhang also know that Yunzhu's wedding date was imminent, so he sent a congratulatory gift to Yunzhu, and by the way, he also said: "Master Zhang said that he can't come on the right day, and he wants to accompany the shopkeeper back to the city." ”
Yunzhu had no choice but to give up and wanted to go back and invite him again.
As the day approached, Yunzhu became more and more nervous. She doesn't know if the marriage she is about to have will be happy and if it will repeat the mistakes of the past. However, when he thought that he was going to marry Feng Ping'an, his uneasy feelings were actually soothed. (To be continued......)
