After comfortably enjoying Xiang Tao's long-awaited service, Tian An asked her, "So why did you come back this time?"
Xiang Tao immediately looked at her in disbelief, "Miss, what do you mean by asking me to come back? I'm your maid, and you're my lady. Shouldn't I come back? Shouldn't I come back?"
Then, with an increasingly resentful expression, she looked at Tian An, then at Qing Ning, Xi You and the others, and subconsciously circled her two fingers in front of her chest, "Tell me the truth, Miss, have you forgotten the old one now that you have a new one?"
As he spoke, he sniffed and began to wipe his eyes with his handkerchief. "Poor Xiangtao, she thinks about you day and night, and you actually, actually... Oh! I won't agree!"
"Hahahaha..." The room burst into laughter again.
Tian An held her forehead with her hand. If it weren't for the wrong era, she would have wanted to ask Xiang Tao, "Have you watched too many TV dramas?"
Fortunately, although she was having fun, this girl didn't forget her important business.
After calling Qingning, Xiyou, Qiancheng, Zhiluo and Deng Xue, they soon brought in six large boxes, four large and two small, from the outside.
The treasure-giver pulled Tian An to see, "Miss, guess what Xiang Tao brought you?"
Tian An looked at the six exquisitely carved huanghuali wood boxes inlaid with jade and gilded with gold. He thought of the wedding dress that Zhao Yiming had promised him to prepare, but which had yet to be found. He looked at Xiang Tao tentatively, "Could this be my wedding dress?"
Xiang Tao's eyes lit up, "As expected of my young lady, she guessed it right on the first try."
As she spoke, she opened the two largest boxes. One box contained several sets of inner clothes stacked up layer by layer, and the other box contained outer clothes. Inside, there was a set of red and green shawls embroidered with gold thread patterns and decorated with pearls and jade, neatly stacked.
Even though it is not fully opened, everyone can already get a glimpse of its grandeur and beauty.
Next is a square box.
After Xiangtao carefully opened the box, a ray of sunlight passed through the glass window and reflected on the jewels on the phoenix crown, almost blinding everyone's eyes.
With exquisite craftsmanship, grand design and various precious jewel decorations, this phoenix crown is not only luxurious but also so beautiful that it makes people unable to take their eyes off it.
Tian An was in a trance. This phoenix crown must be worth an entire house! He just didn't know how heavy it was.
Inside the box that Xiangtao opened was the xiapei belt and some accessories, all of which were exquisite and luxurious.
The fifth box contained wedding shoes. The bright red brocade uppers were embroidered with delicate auspicious patterns symbolizing a happy marriage. The toes were upturned and embellished with jewels, and the body of the shoes was decorated with tassels. The whole pair of shoes was exquisite and elegant.
The last box contained jewelry, two bracelets and a necklace that matched the wedding dress. Knowing that Tian An didn't have pierced ears, there were no matching earrings.
After showing off the entire gorgeous wedding dress in front of everyone, Xiangtao went to the yard and brought in an embroiderer.
"Miss, my husband said that this wedding dress was rushed to be made several months ago. He was worried that it would not fit you now, so he asked Xiangtao to bring the embroiderer with him.
Please try it now and we will make adjustments in time."
Without waiting for Tian An to say anything, the maids who had been watching with red eyes quickly washed their hands and began to change Tian An into wedding clothes.
After putting on layer upon layer of gorgeous clothes, not only Tian An, but also Xiang Tao and the others had a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads.
Tian An was glad that it was already the end of September. If she had worn it like this in May or June, the bride would have turned into a cat at night, which would have been embarrassing.
After everything was dressed neatly, the embroiderer came up personally to show Tian An.
"The county lady has a very good figure. The space that the servants had reserved for her chest is now just right. However, the waist is a little wide.
But don't worry, my lady. I'll take it down and make some minor modifications, and then I'll send it to you on time for the wedding eve."
After changing out of the wedding dresses one by one, carefully putting them away and putting them into the box, Xiangtao took out the wedding shoes.
The size of the shoes is just right and they are comfortable to wear. You can tell that a lot of effort was put into their design.
After changing out of her wedding shoes, at the instigation of her maids, Tian An put on the gorgeous phoenix crown again. The moment she put it on her head, Tian An felt as if her neck was carrying a thousand pounds.
After barely straightening his neck, he dared not move his head. Seeing this, the embroiderer who had embroidered before suggested that Tian An take some time in the next few days to wear a headdress of similar weight to the phoenix crown to familiarize himself with it, so as to avoid feeling uncomfortable on the wedding day.
Tian An didn't want to make a fool of himself, so after thanking the embroiderer, he asked Lixiang to make the arrangements.
It took the whole morning just to try on the wedding dresses. When it was finally time for lunch, Tian An was already starving. He had just finished a bowl of rice to fill his stomach and was about to ask Lixiang to get another half bowl.
Xiangtao, who had disappeared just now, suddenly appeared. Without saying a word, she snatched the bowl from Lixiang's hand, held it in her arms like a protective calf, and stared at Tian An with a fierce look.
"Miss, I forgot to tell you that when Xiangtao came back, Madam Xiao specifically told her one very important thing, which was to keep an eye on you while you eat."
Then, she solemnly announced, "From today until the day of your wedding, you can only eat one bowl of rice per meal. No objections will be accepted."
Tian An was dumbfounded. It was just a marriage! How could it have escalated to the point of requiring her to fast?
Xiang Tao acted as if she was afraid that Tian An would come and snatch the bowl, so she quickly had the servants send the bowl away before explaining to Tian An, "Miss, Madam Xiao and Xiang Tao are doing this for your own good. Today is the last time we need to modify your wedding dress. If we don't control it, what if you gain weight these days and can't fit into your wedding dress?"
At this moment, Tian An only hated her for not thinking of filling her stomach first when she tried on the wedding dress in the morning?
No wonder this girl came to the mansion early in the morning to wait. No wonder she tried on wedding dresses all morning, but no maid reminded her to eat breakfast. No wonder the moment she mentioned eating, a maid immediately came to distract her.
She originally thought that everyone was so amazed by the wedding dresses that they forgot about it, but now she thought that this girl might have already greeted them in advance.
Taking a deep breath, Tian An calmly put down his chopsticks and thought, "Forget it, if you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it!"
Fortunately, she was not asked to fast directly, so it was considered a struggle if she could eat until she was 70% to 80% full.
Seeing Tian An put down his chopsticks, Xiangtao also breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that her young lady would use force. The young lady was very powerful now, and she was afraid that she could not withstand it!
Tian An ate half a bowl less of rice at lunch, and everything he did felt unhappy. He always felt like something was missing. It’s true that man is made of iron and rice is made of steel!
