Chapter 238: Makeup, Hairstyle, and New Clothes

On November 16th, at four o'clock in the morning, Gu Wanxing was woken up.

Because she drank the well water, she was in good spirits, even though she had only slept for more than two hours.

"Wanxing, wash your face and brush your teeth first, then get dressed, and then I'll help you put on makeup." Zhang Xiumei started packing things as soon as she woke up, for fear of leaving anything behind, mainly because her sisters' dowries were too much.

This was her first time doing this kind of 'manager' job, and it was to escort a wedding party, so she was extremely nervous.

Gu Wanxing asked her sisters to keep all her things, even the red envelopes she received and the dowry, and she would transport them to the Fu family.

Normally the dowry would be delivered on the first day, but her father had a lot of dowry, so it couldn’t be delivered in one day.

Gu Wanxing took a while to relax before getting off the kang. To be honest, she was a little nervous because of her sisters' tense expressions.

She put on her clothes and prepared to go to the toilet. When she went out of the house, she found that the yard was full of people, all of whom were aunts from the neighborhood who came to help.

The west room had already been cleared out to become the main kitchen, so there was a constant stream of people coming and going there.

Some carried trays out of the yard, while others carried them to the north room.

It looks like noodles are being cooked.

"Wanxing, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and clean up. I made some dumplings for you. Have some for later."

Zhao Liqiu, who came out of the west room, saw Gu Wanxing standing under the eaves in a daze at a glance, and hurriedly reminded him.

Hearing the sound, Gu Wanxing came back to her senses: "I know, Auntie, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Go quickly." Zhao Liqiu waved his hands quickly, signaling her to hurry up.

Before daybreak, the house was bustling with noises and shouts, which made her feel at ease.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes showed yearning for the future and anticipation for a better life.

She used to be indifferent to everything, but now she is actually looking forward to married life.

It turns out that weddings are so lively, she didn't know it before.

After coming back from the toilet, she was truly treated like a star.

Because the Gong family has always been staying at Uncle Gu Shuli's house, they all came.

The videographer arranged by Lin Shan also arrived.

These people surrounded her and said things to her that they had never said before. Although she was a little happy and didn't hear everything, most of them were about living a good life after marriage, which was similar to what the second grandmother said last night.

Is this what it feels like to have the support of your family?

Gu Wanxing's eyes were wet with tears, and she was immersed in all kinds of words of blessing...

The conversation ended with the father wiping away tears.

"Come on, bride, be more natural. Don't look so stiff."

When Gu Wanxing saw the young man with permed hair carrying a video recorder, the corners of his mouth twitched.

It must be tiring to carry this big video recorder.

"You don't need to record yet. Wait until I wash my face." She hadn't even washed her face or brushed her teeth yet.

"No, Boss Lin said that the recording starts the moment you wake up. I'm already late. It's all because of a bad aunt who led me the wrong way."

The cameraman looked a little aggrieved, but there was a flash of anger in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want." Gu Wanxing didn't care about the bad aunt he mentioned. It was mainly because he had heard too much today and would automatically filter out some of it.

Things are proceeding one by one in an orderly manner.

After Gu Wanxing finished washing up, she sat in front of the new dressing table her father had bought for her and opened her cosmetics.

Zhang Xiumei wanted to take action, but she refused.

Her skin is naturally fair and translucent, and can even be said to be truly radiant, but it would be ugly if she didn't wear makeup on such an important day as her wedding.

She applied a thin layer of powdery pearl cream on her face, which was similar to the bare face cream in later generations.

After applying it, the face becomes white and bright.

My eyebrows are already beautiful, so I just drew some more on top of the original shape.

Finally, she put on some lipstick, which was bright red and matched her clothes very well.

She styled her hair herself. She parted it in the middle and gathered it all back into a tight big bun. There was nothing she could do because she had too much hair, so the bun was too big.

Finally, he inserted the golden phoenix hairpin from a set of head ornaments in the space into her hair.

The hairpin is inlaid with rubies and has a gold tassel. The tassels are also decorated with small rubies, which makes it particularly beautiful.

The earrings are also a match, with two large pigeon blood rubies and a circle of smaller rubies around them.

She didn't know if it was pigeon blood red, but it was different from the gem on the comb her mistress had given her last night.

This one is more transparent and redder. It will show different colors when facing the light, and it looks particularly beautiful with its luster.

Zhang Xiumei leaned against the side of the dressing table, frowning while eating dumplings. Although her sister's jewelry was very eye-catching, she still had to wear flowers at her wedding.

When he saw her spraying hairspray, he simply put the bowl down.

"You're getting married, and none of your hair is falling out. Why is that? You should curl two locks of hair like little springs. That would look better."

"That's called catfish whiskers."

Gu Wanxing looked at the sisters' funny actions and said with a smile.

"Yes, and this flower, I bought it for you. Why don't you wear it? It looks so beautiful with one side hanging down."

"No, I'm going to wear something later. When you see it, you'll know why I'm not wearing flowers."

"Well, you'd look good even in a sack."

Zhang Xiumei picked up the bowl and was about to eat when she suddenly muttered, "Whose good-looking family has shiny hair close to their scalp when they get married? Most people try to comb their hair down to make it look thicker."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wanxing could only smile helplessly.

"Sister, you are so beautiful. Please draw a picture for me later."

At this time, Gu Qingqing also came in with a bowl of dumplings, the little girl's eyes shining.

"Okay, go close the door for me first. I'll change my clothes and I'll get it ready for you after I'm done."

While the cameraman was recording outside, she planned to change her clothes first.

"Yeah." Gu Qingqing quickly closed the bedroom door and ran back.

He looked at her hopefully and said, "Come on, sister, take out your new clothes and let us see them."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiumei stopped eating dumplings, wiped her hands, and prepared to help her sister change her clothes.

Gu Wanxing has never shown the cheongsam she wore at her wedding. She did this out of selfish motives and wanted to keep it mysterious.

It was a traditional Chinese cheongsam she made herself. It was vermilion in color, and the fabric was from the space. It was embroidered with gold and silver threads. The peony petals were clearly layered, and the phoenix outlined with gold thread was also lifelike.

The edges of the cheongsam are covered with elaborate small pearls, which she nailed on by hand.

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful."

As soon as the cheongsam was taken out, it immediately attracted all the attention of the two sisters, mainly because it was simply a work of art, not something to be worn on the body.

It was only at this time that Zhang Xiumei understood why she had to have such a hairstyle.

She thought the sister would wear that red woolen suit.

With the help of her sisters, Gu Wanxing put on the cheongsam, which was actually quite heavy.

After all, she had a circle of small pearls on it, and the embroidery on it was made of real gold and silver threads, so it must have weight. The fabric itself has no weight.

Once you put on a cheongsam, your overall temperament will instantly improve.

The stand-up collar of the cheongsam highlights her slender neck, making her as elegant as a swan. Her meticulous bun adds a touch of classical charm. At first glance, she looks like a star from a movie.
