Seeing that He Tiantian was asleep, Grandma Qi continued to calm her mind and drifted into a dream.
She knew her own body well; although she was relatively strong, if she didn't sleep well, she wouldn't be in good spirits the next day, which would affect her schedule.
With this mental suggestion, coupled with her extremely regular daily routine, Grandma Qi fell asleep quickly.
I drifted off to sleep to the sound of the waves.
Huo Yingjun had a brief chat with his colleagues on the cruise ship, made some arrangements, and then went back to rest.
The next morning, the cruise ship's staff delivered the clothes that Huo Yingjun had prepared for Grandma Qi and He Tiantian: "Simple Hands Overturn the Heavens, The Evil Lord's Beloved Concubine."
He Tiantian was wearing a white V-neck, belted, puff-sleeved dress and lingerie, pink sandals, and stockings.
When He Tiantian saw the bra, her eyes lit up. Finally, she didn't have to wear the vest she made herself anymore.
He Tiantian changed her clothes and put on leather shoes. She kept looking at herself in the mirror in the bathroom. Compared to her previous life, she had a retro feel to her clothes, but they were much better than her current clothes.
Grandma Qi was wearing a purple shirt, black pants, and a matching outfit.
"Grandma, let me help you change your clothes." He Tiantian asked curiously when she saw that Grandma Qi hadn't changed her clothes.
Grandma Qi frowned and said, "These clothes are not nice, I won't wear them."
“But these clothes are still nicer than our traditional gowns,” He Tiantian reassured, thinking that Grandma Qi was disgusted by the clothes being too trendy.
Just then, Grandma Qi remembered that she had brought her own clothes and said, "The weather here is similar to summer back home, so I'll wear the cheongsam I brought."
He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, that dress looks good too. These pants and shoes, they really don't look good on you."
Because Grandma Qi had bound feet, she couldn't wear shoes at all, and the trousers were too long, dragging on the ground. There wasn't a needle and thread available to alter them.
He Tiantian stepped forward, opened the rattan suitcase, and took out the blue cheongsam inside, embroidered with elegant magnolia flowers, made of soft satin that shimmered.
Grandma Qi put on her new underwear, then put on this blue cheongsam, and changed into blue satin embroidered shoes made from the leftover fabric. The shoes were also embroidered with delicate and elegant magnolia flowers, which echoed the magnolia flowers on the cheongsam.
The shoes are small and very delicate.
Grandma Qi wrapped her feet in a layer of foot binding cloth, then put on silk stockings and embroidered shoes over them.
It has to be said that Grandma Qi's aesthetic sense was different. The foot binding cloth only covered the toes and soles of her feet. After putting on stockings and shoes, the foot binding cloth could not be seen inside.
Oh dear, this old lady shouldn't be living in the deep mountains at all. If she were in Hong Kong or a major American city, she would be a fashionable old lady.
"Grandma, let me do your hair," He Tiantian said. Now that she had the clothes and shoes, He Tiantian wanted to give Grandma Qi a nice hairstyle.
Grandma Qi smiled and said, "Alright, what I taught you before can come in handy now."
He Tiantian stood behind Grandma Qi and soon styled her hair into an elegant bun.
"Oh dear, if only I had a jade hairpin," He Tiantian said regretfully. Adorned in her hair, it would make her look like a dignified and elegant old lady.
"Alright, I'll use my silver hairpin then," Grandma Qi said with a smile. "There are so many people in the house, it's not convenient for me to go downstairs and get some jewelry. I'll have my son buy me some when we get there!"
Upon hearing this, He Tiantian laughed and said, "Grandma Qi, aren't you afraid that Uncle Shuliang won't have any money?"
"No, child," Grandma Qi said with a smile. "Although Huo Yingjie and Huo Yingjun didn't mention Shuliang's life abroad, I can guess that he must be very wealthy and powerful. Otherwise, why would these people in China care so much about my son, Xia Baochuan 2? Since he's so wealthy and powerful, what's a few pieces of jewelry for his mother?"
Grandma Qi San spoke with great insight and was very shrewd!
“You’re right.” He Tiantian agreed wholeheartedly and inserted the silver hairpin into Grandma Qi’s hair bun.
When He Tiantian saw that the staff had brought her cosmetics, she said, "Grandma, let me do your makeup."
"Can you do it?" Grandma Qi asked He Tiantian, who was always without makeup, with a hint of doubt.
“I saw my mom wear makeup when we lived in Nanshi before,” He Tiantian said. “Grandma, let me try it. If it doesn’t look good, you can wash it off! Anyway, it’s still early, there’s plenty of time.”
I have to say, Hong Kong has a really wide variety of things to offer!
They have toner, lotion, face cream, foundation, and even eyebrow shaping tools!
He Tiantian first trimmed Grandma Qi's eyebrows, simply shaving off a few stray hairs with a razor blade to reveal a beautiful eyebrow shape.
It must be said that she is beautiful and has exquisite features.
Even though she was an elderly woman, she was still a beautiful one.
He Tiantian applied light makeup to Grandma Qi, not the kind of white face and red lips that are popular in Hong Kong now, but rather a slight embellishment based on Grandma Qi's original look.
After applying toner, lotion, and face cream, and a little foundation, her skin was only slightly whiter than before, which wasn't unnatural. She then used an eyebrow pencil to draw her eyebrows. Grandma Qi's lips were a bit pale, so He Tiantian chose a darker lipstick and applied a little bit to her lips.
"Grandma, purse your lips like this to blend the red on your lips," He Tiantian reminded her. "Blending it out will make the color look nicer."
Grandma Qi walked to the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, smiled happily, and said, "So beautiful! This is how people should look!"
After saying that, she looked in the mirror, pursed her lips, and the color on her lips was just right.
He Tiantian's look is very simple, just a simple ponytail tied high, paired with a white dress, exuding a fresh and clean vibe!
"Not bad, not bad." Grandma Qi finished tidying up, looked at herself in the mirror, then at He Tiantian, and praised her repeatedly.
At this moment, Huo Yingjun came over with two suitcases.
He Tiantian went to open the door, and Huo Yingjie outside was stunned. He Tiantian looked very good in her trendy clothes!
"Handsome brother, come in," He Tiantian said with a smile, snapping Huo Yingjun out of his daze.
Upon entering the house, Huo Yingjun was taken aback again when he saw Grandma Qi, who was dressed in new clothes.
Huo Yingjun felt it was inappropriate for his uncle to comment on his future sister-in-law's beautiful attire, but since Qi San's grandmother was an elder, he didn't hesitate to praise her.
"Grandma Qi, you have such an impressive presence! Even the wealthy old ladies in Hong Kong can't compare to you!" Huo Yingjun said. "These are the clothes our people prepared. When we arrive in Hong Kong, we'll stay at our relatives' house and rest for a day or two before setting off again."
This was Huo Yingjun's genuine praise. He had originally planned to explain it to them, but he hadn't expected the old lady to adapt so quickly. (To be continued.)
