Chapter 330: Makeup
In addition to teaching Xia Dazhu and his son to make snacks, Lin Xiaozhu also asked someone to make a few clothes for the two of them, and asked Yuan Tianye to find an old man who was familiar with the rules of the palace and taught them some etiquette, especially some ritual rules at the wedding. A month later, she would send someone to pick them up and take them to Xuanyuan City to receive her gift with the old man. At that time, there will be nobles from all over the world, and it will be bad if you don't understand the rules and make a fool of yourself.
In the past few days, Xia Dazhu finally understood Yuan Tianye's status in Beiyan through the old man who taught etiquette, and remembered that his in-laws were the emperor of Beiyan Kingdom, and when he had to accept Lin Xiaozhu's ceremony with Xuanyuan Shengshang, who had a higher status than the emperors of various countries, he felt panicked, and repeatedly excused himself and said that he would not sit on the seat at that time, but just stand below to watch the ceremony. Lin Xiaozhu said something badly, so he agreed to come down competently. However, Xia Qiuhuai heard that he could attend his cousin's wedding with the emperors and nobles of various countries, and he was extremely excited, and he didn't feel timid at all.
After arranging Xia Dazhu and them, Lin Xiaozhu was going back to Xuanyuan City. Yuan Tianye was naturally reluctant, but there was no way. Without a short separation, there will be no long-term togetherness in the future. I had to send Yuan Yi, Yuan Er and several other subordinates with strong martial arts to escort her, and I sent her dozens of miles, and I grinded my temples in the car for a while, and then I reluctantly got out of the car and watched her leave.
Back in Xuanyuan City, he was busy and chaotic for more than half a month. On this day, Lin Xiaozhu asked Xia Dazhu and his son to pick them up, and they were looking for a courtyard in the Xuanyuan Divine Palace to house them, when they heard Zisu come in to report that King Ying and Princess Ying of Dongyue Kingdom were here.
"Why is Princess Ying here?" Lin Xiaozhu was shocked, hurriedly explained to Xia Dazhu, and went out. The original cooking competition ended. When Xiao Xiao followed Lu Jianning back to Dongyue, she once said that she wanted to be her mother's family. came to Lin Xiaozhu for the wedding half a month in advance. But he didn't want to go back not long ago, Lu Jianning sent someone to report the good news, saying that Xiao Xiao was pregnant. Lin Xiaozhu also wrote a letter at that time, telling Xiao Xiao to raise the fetus at home with peace of mind, and that there was a special person Zhang Luo for the wedding, so she didn't need to worry about it. But I didn't want to, Xiao Xiao still came.
When she arrived in the hall, she saw Xiao Xiao and Lu Jianning sitting there talking, with sweet smiles on their faces. saw Lin Xiaozhu come in. Xiao Xiao habitually stood up and wanted to rush over and hug Lin Xiaozhu's arm, but this action made Lu Jianning extremely nervous. took a few steps closer to her and hugged her into his arms, and said continuously: "You slow down, don't worry." ”
"My aunt, you are a giant panda now, you must not be jumping around like you used to." Lin Xiaozhu couldn't help but tell her like an old grandmother.
"Giant pandas? Why am I a panda now? Xiao Xiao blinked and asked curiously.
"Well, that's not the point." Lin Xiaozhu remembered that the giant panda was not an endangered animal at this time, so he couldn't explain it to Xiao Xiao. Hurry up and fork the road. "The point is, you walk and do things steadily, you are going to be a mother." Speaking of which. She remembered that Xiao Xiao didn't listen to her, and actually rode all the way to here, so she couldn't help but sink her face, glared at her, and said, "Didn't you say that you should have a good rest at home?" After I get married, I will naturally go to see you when I have time. You see, it's not obedient at all, and it's been so far. If something happens, do you want to make me feel uneasy for the rest of my life? He glanced at Lu Jianning reproachfully, "You can let her mess around." ”
Lu Jianning smiled bitterly: "It's good that I can manage her." ”
Xiao Xiao is not afraid of anyone, just afraid of Lin Xiaozhu. Seeing Lin Xiaozhu's face sank, he shrunk his neck, and argued in a low voice: "Aren't I fine?" And I didn't react at all, I ate well, slept soundly, and was in good spirits. Just because the doctor said I was pregnant, Jian Ning locked me at home, couldn't go anywhere, couldn't do anything, I was really bored. He stepped forward and shook Lin Xiaozhu's arm, and said flatteringly, "Xiaozhu, good Xiaozhu, you don't know, although I have several sisters, because of different mothers, there is only hostility and suspicion towards each other. In this world, I only have one good friend. You're my own sister. Now that you don't come to marry me as a sister, then I will not feel at ease in this life, right? ”
Lin Xiaozhu was moved by Xiao Xiao's words. Su Xiaoshu was very good to her back then, and took care of her as a sister. But because she fell in love with Xia Shan, the status of the two is different now, and they can no longer be as good friends. After leaving the villa, Lin Xiaozhu's living environment was special, and she didn't come into contact with any women of the same age and temperament as her, so naturally she didn't have any same-sex friends. When she and Xiao Xiao met, they thought that they were just passers-by, and there would be no intersection in the future. But I don't want fate to be so magical, the two will meet in the strange country of Dongyue, and finally support each other, rely on each other, and finally become good friends and sisters.
"Anyway, I'm here, can I still drive you back again?" She stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Xiao's face affectionately, "Okay, you can live in peace." But you don't have to worry about my business, it's all arranged. You can live here and wait for me to be married. He turned his head and instructed Yun Shan, "King Ying and Princess Ying will live in Hexiang Courtyard." You go and watch them clean up, make sure to set it up comfortably, check it, and don't have the slightest thing that is not good for the pregnant woman. ”
"Yes." Yun Shan took the order and left.
Xiao Xiao heard nothing, but Lu Jianning was extremely uneasy: "We live in the Xuanyuan Holy Palace, disturbing the Holy Lord, isn't it?" Forget it, let's find another small yard to live in. ”
After getting along for a while, Lin Xiaozhu knew that the old man was a very casual person in life, and because he had been lonely all his life, he preferred to be lively. Besides, Xiao Xiao is her sister-in-law, and living here to marry her is nominally reasonable, just like her uncle also lives in Xuanyuan Holy Palace as a commoner. Even if the royal family of other countries knew about this, they should not cause any dissatisfaction. Then he said: "Grandfather is a person who likes to be lively, you live here, he is too late to be happy, how can he bother you?" As you can see, this shrine is built on a hill, and there are one or two hundred steps. Xiao Xiao lives at the foot of the mountain and wants to accompany me, which is very inconvenient. It's still good to stay here. ”
Lu Jianning was naturally reluctant to let his beloved wife climb the mountain every day, and when he saw Lin Xiaozhu so determined and persistent, he no longer shirked, and said with a smile: "That's good, we will also take advantage of you and live in the Xuanyuan Holy Palace." ”
Seeing that they had finally finalized their residence, Xiao Xiao couldn't wait to beckon two maids who were holding a long brocade box in their hands. Xiao Xiao opened the brocade box, and said to Lin Xiaozhu with bright eyes: "Xiaozhu, look, this is the makeup I gave you." ”
Lin Xiaozhu walked over to take a look, but inside was a red coral several feet high. This coral strip is strong, the branches are sparse, red like fire, like a tree, and it is extremely beautiful.
Lin Xiaozhu recently cleaned up the dowry with Zhou Li, but he knew the value of this coral. Red coral, which is called jewelry, along with pearls, agate, jadeite, etc., is mostly grown in the deep sea, and is very scarce, and it is very expensive because of its delicate texture and bright color. This tall coral is worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. What's more, coral is listed among the Seven Treasures in the Eastern Buddhist scriptures. In ancient times, it was regarded as an auspicious and happy thing, representing nobility and power, also known as "Ruibao", a symbol of happiness and eternity. Xiao Xiao gave it to her as a makeup gift, which can be said to have put a lot of thought into it.
"It's too precious." Although it means auspicious, Lin Xiaozhu is not good at asking Xiao Xiao for such a valuable gift.
"If you don't recognize my sister, don't accept this coral!" Xiao Xiao said with a straight face.
Lin Xiaozhu sighed: "Okay, I'll accept it with shame." "In the future, when Xiao Xiao's child is born, there will always be a chance to return the gift, but now if you are too careful, it will be too much.
"That's what I said." Xiao Xiao finally looks like a sister at this time.
"Girl, the porter has sent a prayer post." Zi Su came in and handed Lin Xiaozhu a post.
"Isn't it Shen Ziyi?" Xiao Xiao stretched out her head.
Lin Xiaozhu opened the post and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's really him." ”
Xiao Xiao glanced at Lin Xiaozhu: "It is estimated that he is also here to add makeup." Xiao Wenzhuo originally wanted to marry her to Shen Ziyi, but after seeing Shen Ziyi's gaze at Lin Xiaozhu, he dispelled this idea. It doesn't matter if the status, knowledge, and character are a little worse, but if a man has another woman in his heart, no matter how good he is, he is no longer a good husband candidate.
"Hurry up, please." Lin Xiaozhu closed the prayer post and said to Shisu. He turned his head again and said, "You sit here slowly, and I'll meet him." He turned and walked out the door. After a while, he led Shen Ziyi in.
"Prince Ying and Princess Ying are also there?" Shen Ziyi came in, greeted Lu Jianning and his wife, and after a few cold words, he asked his subordinates to take out a box and said to Lin Xiaozhu: "I don't have any good things, and the South China Sea is rich in pearls, so I picked some to add makeup to you." ”
As soon as the box was opened, Xiao Xiao first exclaimed. In the box, there was a hanging of pearls lying on the brocade forging, each the size of a finger, each round, and the soft glow emitted reflected the navy blue box a little.
"This ......" Lin Xiaozhu looked at the pearl necklace, not knowing what to say. In the face of heavy friendship, everything seems so empty. She can only accept this heart, keep it in her heart, and return it when Shen Ziyi gets married in the future.
In addition to Xiao Xiao and Shen Ziyi, there is also Li Zhenyu who came to add makeup. As Lin Xiaozhu's partner, he naturally regards himself as her maiden family. In addition to giving Lin Xiaozhu a jade ornament, he also followed Zhou Li to work hard during this time, which made Lin Xiaozhu very grateful.
With everyone's blessings, the good days have finally come. Because he had to walk on the road for three days, Yuan Tianye arrived at Xuanyuan City three days in advance. Princess Xuanyuan got married, the people of Xuanyuan City were honored and honored, and the royal families of various countries sent people, and the street was a lively and festive scene.
And Lin Xiaozhu didn't see such a scene, she was picked up from the bed by Xiao Xiao and Xi Niang early in the morning, put it in a basin full of petals and scrubbed it, and then the Xi Niang wrung her face and combed her hair, and then put on the red wedding dress of the phoenix wings carefully embroidered by the mother and daughter.
