The grueling night is finally over.
The next morning, when it was still pitch black outside, a noisy commotion broke out in the courtyard.
Knowing that everyone was busy with their wedding preparations, Jiang Si felt embarrassed to stay cooped up in her room all the time.
Third Uncle really didn't seem to be pressuring her today.
Even after she finished washing up, she still looked sleepy.
She said with concern, "Silly girl, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Jiang Si rested her head on her third uncle's arm, her eyes stinging.
"You and Uncle Zhong didn't sleep all night either."
"As we get older, we naturally need less sleep."
"Sweetie, go back to sleep for a while longer."
Seeing all these people bustling around in the courtyard, how could Jiang Si possibly fall asleep?
At this moment, Uncle Zhong brought over a bowl of brown sugar glutinous rice porridge.
"We have a lot to do later, Miss Sisi, why don't you eat something to fill your stomach first?"
Jiang Si took it and just opened her mouth.
Uncle Zhong smiled and asked, "Would you like another cup of coffee, without sugar or milk?"
As Jiang Si nodded, she exclaimed with emotion, "Uncle Zhong, you understand me best!"
Uncle Zhong didn't dare accept that title. He smiled and said, "Drinking coffee on an empty stomach is bad for your stomach. You should finish this bowl of porridge first, and I'll make you some more later."
Jiang Si smiled and nodded.
The glutinous rice porridge was cooked for almost two hours, and plenty of brown sugar was added. It tasted sweet and sticky.
The coffee was ready in no time, and Grandma Ye came over.
Mrs. Ye was the matchmaker and a well-known woman of good fortune.
At Grandma Huo's request, she was to visit Jiang Si today to help her with her hair and makeup and to make her bed.
However, when they saw Jiang Si's beautiful face, as radiant as a peach blossom, with skin as smooth as jade, so stunning that she was breathtaking even without makeup.
Grandma Ye smiled and said, "In my opinion, there's no need to apply powder or draw eyebrows. Just a little lip rouge will suffice."
"Okay, you decide."
Jiang Si breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief after she finished speaking; she didn't like putting too much stuff on her face either.
A clean and refreshing look is just right.
God knows how flustered she was when she saw Old Mrs. Ye pick up the rouge.
These days, the most popular makeup look is blush.
From a distance, they look like two red suns.
This kind of socially destructive scene has already happened once in the family compound, and she is determined not to do it again this time!
As she spoke, Grandma Ye pulled up Jiang Si's long hair, revealing her slender neck.
The hairstyle was done according to Jiang Si's request.
Grandma Ye initially thought the hairstyle might be too simple, but the result was surprisingly good.
Without the wisps of hair obscuring her forehead, Jiang Si's already lively features were now fully revealed, exuding a bright and dignified aura.
Paired with the wool coat she chose, she looked elegant and dignified, yet breathtakingly beautiful.
Before Grandma Ye could even utter a word of praise, a gasp suddenly rang out in the courtyard.
"Here he comes, here he comes, the groom is here—"
