074 Make-up gifts

Soon it was the end of May, during which Chen Xi sneaked into Du Mingxin's boudoir again. It's just that the weather is getting hotter, his clothes are getting thinner, and he has been kicked by Du Mingxin twice, not to mention, he himself feels that he can only watch from a distance, and the days when he can't play are too uncomfortable. So before Du Ming's heart completely exploded, he gritted his teeth and swore that he would never come again before marriage.

Entering June, approaching the wedding date, the Du family gave Du Mingxin a makeup gift on this day. Because they were all women from acquaintances, they held five tables in the inner courtyard. Unexpectedly, not only did the Du family come with the intention of coming, but even the female relatives of the eldest lord and the second master's colleagues were almost all gone, and they all arrived. The panicked lady was so anxious that she asked someone to go to Hongbin Building on Gulou Street to make a reservation and send it over.

Most of the ladies and Du Mingxin had never met, so they only took a look in her room, said some auspicious words, gave the prepared makeup, and came out to eat in the main courtyard.

A few girls in Du Ming's heart were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and under the command of Mama Cui, they served tea, ushered in the delivery, and received gifts and accounts, but they were not messed up at all.

At this time, Du Ming's heart only had a few sisters in the family, Du Mingyan married to Ning Wangfu as a concubine, unless the princess was specially gracious, she generally couldn't get out of the palace.

Du Mingjing came back early in the morning, wearing a silver-red cloud brocade shirt with gold sleeves all over the place, and an apricot yellow eighteen silk skirt underneath. The head is inserted with gold and silver, especially a bowl of large gold filigree flowers is the most eye-catching. The whole person looks beautiful and vulgar against the background of cloud brocade and beads, and it is almost impossible to see the shadow of when she was a concubine in the Du family.

She took a black and ebony box from the maid's hand, and handed it to Du Mingxin with both hands, revealing the delicate garnet bracelet on Hao's wrist.

"Second sister, open it and see if you like it?" Du Mingjing said with a smile.

Du Mingxin was reluctant to open the gift box in front of the guests, feeling as if he wanted to check who gave the good things and whose ones were bad, and he was stingy. "My sister's intentions must be good, where do you still need me to see."

Du Mingjing didn't follow, opened the box by herself, and said with a smile: "This pair of red jade was found by Li Ling's eldest brother from southern Xinjiang. My mother-in-law invited the master of the jade workshop to make a hairpin, carved the appearance of the pomegranate blossom, and sent it to Bao'en Temple to ask the abbot to open the light, and recited the "Diamond Sutra" for 7749 days. ”

She stretched out her wrist again to show Du Mingxin: "Oh, you see, my pomegranate bracelet was also sent over to open the light at that time." ”

Du Mingxin understood her thoughts very well, she was forced to marry Chongxi's concubine, but who knew that Chongxi had become a concubine. Now Li Ling's body has not only gradually recovered, but Du Mingjing is also regarded by Mrs. Li as her son's lucky star, and she is very lenient on weekdays. If you don't show off when you go back to your parents' house, wouldn't it be as boring as a night walk in brocade?

Du Mingshu, who was sitting on the side, didn't feel anything, but was quite happy for the fourth sister. She felt that although Du Mingjing was a little mean, it would be too miserable if she ended up as a young widow. It's better to live a life with a kiss and affection like now.

In comparison, Du Mingzhu can't be a non-caring spectator like Du Mingshu. She kept drinking tea, and a bowl of tea had bottomed out, but she couldn't suppress the fire in her heart.

She couldn't even tell where the fire was coming from. Can't you see Du Mingjing's villainous face? Is the cloud brocade on her body too dazzling? Or the string of garnets in her hand?

There are many pomegranates, Mrs. Li sent her bracelet together with the hairpin given to Du Mingxin to open the light, is it that Li Ling's illness has been completely cured and can be rounded? Or even a round house?

Du Mingzhu glanced at Du Mingjing, and quickly retracted his gaze. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, and she didn't feel any pain, only hatred in her heart.

"Third sister, I haven't seen you lose a lot of weight in a few months, but it's even more stylish." Du Mingjing smiled. She herself never thought that she would have such an opportunity in the end of her life, and in the future, Li Ling will become an official, and she will have a fate, so she is extremely proud when she thinks about it. If she can come back openly today to add to the trouble for her sister-in-law, how could she miss it.

Du Mingzhu got up and wanted to leave, but was quietly pressed by the maid behind him. Today, the eldest lady told her several times that she must be by Du Mingxin's side. Not only can they show that they are close sisters, but they can also get to know many noble women, which is very beneficial to her marriage.

"Some people are thinner and fatter, and they look good in their own way. Some people, no matter how fat or thin, or full of pearls, don't look like princes when they wear dragon robes. Du Mingzhuan sat down, what was his shortness of breath? Will he marry worse than Du Mingjing in the future?

Du Mingjing was choked by her and was about to mock back, but someone outside came to report: "Second Miss, Princess Anping and Princess Ning are here!" My wife told you to go out and pick you up. ”

Du Mingxin was a little surprised, why did his mother-in-law's family come to such a thing as adding makeup? She got up, straightened her clothes, and went out with her sisters.

As soon as I walked to the Hanging Flower Gate, I saw Princess Anping and a woman of the age of Yihua Xin coming together, and the two looked very close.

"I've always heard people talk about you, and it's really better to hear than to see." When Princess Ning saw Du Mingxin saluting her, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her up, and smiled at An Ping, "If I am the King of Jin, I am afraid that I will have to kneel in front of the emperor and ask for marriage!" ”

Although he has heard this matter mentioned many times, Du Mingxin still feels sweet when he hears it. Just about to purse his lips and smile, he hurriedly lowered his head, for fear of falling into a laughing stock in front of others.

Princess Anping had just been married to Lin Lang for more than a month, and it was when she was in love, and when she saw Du Mingxin like this, she smiled heartily.

"Originally, according to the rules, my sister-in-law and I didn't have to come over today. But yesterday, my father, the emperor, asked someone to send me a message, saying that he was afraid that there would not be many people in your house, so he asked me to come over and support you for the scene. An Ping said, "When my sister-in-law heard about it, she had to come with her." I was acting on orders, but my sister-in-law was genuine. ”

"I'm the most lively, I heard that there are smart and beautiful beauties, where can I come and see?" Princess Ning said with a smile.

Du Mingxin saw that she spoke decently and behaved generously, and she could also see that she was very well cultivated between her words, and she couldn't help but feel a little disdain for Chen Ting in her heart. If such a woman can't be a wife, then what kind of person is suitable? Speaking of which, it's just that he is in trouble and rich, and he wants to change to a more powerful Yue family and let the wife of the chaff go to court.

"Sister Ling has been coming to the palace these days, and she is very fond of the prince and me." Princess Ning and Du Mingxin walked together, and whispered about Du Mingyan, "She is very generous in dealing with people, and she is from an official family." You can also worry less. ”

The latter sentence has a hint of tentativeness.
