Chapter 224: Make-up (1)
What happened in the capital, Minghui, who was far away in Baoding, didn't know at all.
Since returning to Zaoshu Hutong, she has been coping with relatives from all walks of life in addition to sleeping.
In recent years, the Xicheng Ming family has been rising day by day, first the most unsuccessful Ming third master was promoted, and then, the two sons-in-law of the long house are all high school scholars, such people, not to mention the Dongcheng Ming family, even the entire Baoding Mansion is also counted.
The two ancestors of the Ming family in Dongcheng regretted it, why were their ears so soft back then, and they couldn't help the troublemakers in the clan to make irresponsible remarks, so they divided the Mingfeng branch.
Nowadays, when the people of Baoding talk about the Ming family in Xicheng, they will look at the people of the Ming family in Dongcheng with pity and ridiculous eyes.
Even the ancestral graves are separated!
Now the eldest lady of the Ming family in Xicheng is married, and the Ming family in Dongcheng is picky, and two little girls of the same age as Minghui are selected and sent to Zaoshu Hutong to marry Minghui together.
There has always been a custom of unmarried sisters marrying here, Minghui is high, but young, and it is not easy to find sisters to marry, the third wife called two cousins from her mother's house, and now the Dongcheng Ming family has sent two more, no one is too much, and a few more are OK.
These four girls lived in Zaoshu Hutong the day before the makeup, plus Minghui's nieces, the girls got together, from morning to night, Minghui could still insert a few words at the beginning, and then they could only listen to them.
At first, the girls talked about clothes and jewelry, but later they became acquainted with each other and began to talk about gossip.
So Minghui knew that the shopkeeper of the branch of Baoding Zhuangyuan Building was by the original girl; The son born to the shopkeeper of Jixiang Tea House looks like the owner of the old Wang family next door.
Minghui listened to the gossip in her stomach, and she was going to go back and tell Cui Niangzi.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the makeup urge, Minghui was called up early in the morning to dress up, she closed her eyes and protested: "Today's makeup, there is nothing to do with me, can't I sleep a little longer?"
didn't hesitate to coax her: "My good girl, the third lady has already come, there will be many relatives coming over today, those ladies and grandmothers, you all want to pay respects."
After dressing up and having breakfast, Minghui followed the third wife to meet the guests, only to see that the room was full of women's rolls, including the in-laws of the Ming family in Xicheng and the good friends of the Tong family, as well as the Ming family in Dongcheng.
Minghui has never seen most of them, this one praises her for being good-looking, and that praises her for being blessed, Minghui thinks they are all true.
Among them, there is also a pair of sisters-in-law in their forties, who are the cousin-in-law and sister-in-law of the Zhang family, the wife of the old lady Ming.
It stands to reason that the old lady Ming continued the string to inform the Zhang family, but the old lady Ming not only continued the string, but also gave birth to a daughter, until Ming Hui returned to Baoding, the Zhang family did not know, therefore, the Zhang family was very angry about this, and Ming Hui was also very disapproving.
This time, I sent a high-grade female roll, and I originally had the intention of pressing on my head.
The second wife and the third wife saw that the mother-in-law who came together emphasized the grade of the cousin-in-law, and guessed that the Zhang family was looking for trouble.
Don't ask them how they know, they have participated in more red and white ceremonies, and there are more people who have stirred up trouble and found trouble in red and white ceremonies. ….
The Zhang family is like this, after Ming Hui came back, the Ming master was still in the filial piety period, so he asked Ah Xing to send a car of generous gifts to the uncles of the Zhang family to apologize.
Look, that's a nice thing to say, now that Minghui is getting married, they're looking for trouble.
How can the second wife and the third wife let people disturb the situation, and intentionally or unintentionally said the identity of the new uncle: "My uncle is in the capital, and my little sister has no mother-in-law and no concubine when she marries, so we don't worry, so we bought a house for her in Baoding, and then she will live at both ends, and my uncle is busy with official business, and it is rare to be able to rest.
Seeing that the face of the Zhang family was not good-looking, the two of them changed their minds.
With the beating of the two sisters-in-law, the two sisters-in-law of the Zhang family looked at Minghui's eyes full
It's disgusting, but I don't say anything out of the ordinary.
Minghui pretended not to see their faces, and when everyone didn't see them, she made a grimace at the pair of sisters-in-law, making the two of them angry, they really grew up in the barren mountains and mountains, and there were no rules at all.
Minghui, I haven't seen it, haven't you heard of Yunmengshan? Guiguzi hasn't heard of it? Also barren mountains and mountains, read more books.
At this time, a maid came in and said, "Second wife, third wife, eldest lady, the two old Jiang ladies from Huizhenguan sent someone over to add makeup to the eldest lady."
Minghui was stunned, and the third lady had already preemptively said, "Hurry up, please come in."
The female scrolls in the house looked at each other, and the old lady Jiang who was honest and honest could not be the two old feudal lords in the legend.
A moment later, the maid led a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in, but she was dressed as a layman, and the two maids who followed her each held a big red brocade box.
Minghui hurriedly got up, and the girl introduced herself with a smile: "This is Miss Ming, my surname is Shi, the first in the family, today at the order of my aunt and grandmother, I will add makeup for her second elder Miss Ming, I wish Miss Ming and her aunt a hundred years of good togetherness and happiness."
Minghui immediately knew who this Shi Da Lady was, this was the granddaughter of the Xiao Jiang clan.
Xiao Jiang's relationship with the Shi family was severed, but her sons were very filial, although they were all in office, they often sent people to send things over, and the children and grandchildren of the Da Jiang family were very different.
The two maids brought up the brocade box, Mrs. Shi opened it one by one, and everyone stretched their necks to look over, and saw that the two brocade boxes were all heads, a set of red gold inlaid with rubies, and a set of pearls.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, the two old feudal monarchs were really generous, the Ming family girl was able to get the love of these two old feudal monarchs, it was really a blessing from the previous life.
Minghui thanked her, and said to Mrs. Shi, "I often hear Old Madam Jiang talk about you, when did you come back?" Can you stay a little longer this time?"
Mrs. Shi said with a smile: "My sister can also tell my sister of the Ming family that my father was transferred to the capital, and this son is still being handed over, so I asked my brother to accompany our mother to come over first, and it is good to do her filial piety in front of my grandmother and aunt."
Minghui is happy for Xiao Jiang's family, and now she has a son transferred to the capital, which is very close to Baoding, and her grandchildren can often come to visit her.
After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Shi said goodbye, Minghui asked Mingshu and Mingxiu to send Mrs. Shi out, and the third lady was in a hurry to take out the makeup of the two old ladies of Jiang and put them in front, which was a face-saving object.
