“Xiaoyan…” Jiang Liu’s hand froze in mid-air.
"Alright, I'll allow you to sleep for another half an hour."
She also lay down on the bed and went back to sleep.
But, the two had just fallen asleep,
Qiu Yumei then arrived.
"Oh dear, Xiaoyan, Second Sister-in-law, why are you still sleeping?"
Qiu Yan was forced to get up by her aunt.
"Xiaoyan, eat something first thing in the morning. Auntie will cook you a bowl of egg noodles." Qiu Yumei woke Qiu Yan up and then went to the kitchen.
She knew that even though the bride didn't have to do anything, she was still tired after a long day.
Jiang Liu agreed, and she began to take out Qiu Yan's wedding dress and red veil, ironing them one by one.
Qiu Yan wanted to say that she wasn't hungry.
Once the noodles were cooked, Qiu Yan finished a bowl of them.
After a short rest, her second aunt and aunt pulled her to the dressing mirror to start combing her hair and applying makeup.
Normally, it should be the elders in the family who help comb your hair.
"May you be wealthy and carefree, free from illness and worry, have many children and live long lives, live in harmony and mutual respect, fly wing to wing like a pair, and be forever united in heart..."
..."
Qiu Yan let the two men comb her hair.
Then, Jiang Liu began to apply makeup to Qiu Yan.
After applying makeup, a long time has passed.
Qiu Yan looked at herself in the mirror,
Her long, black hair was styled into a bun, adorned with a yellow hairpin and gold ornaments. She wore a phoenix coronet and a wedding robe, her cheeks were rosy, and her red lips were luscious.
A red lotus was painted on her forehead.
Her exquisite face left even herself speechless.
Is this...is this still her?
She looks completely different with and without makeup.
It's true, there are no ugly women, only lazy women.
She smiled faintly, a slight curve to her lips.
As he laughed, a bitter smile crept onto his face.
If only Gu Qian could see himself like this today.
"You're so beautiful, sister!"
"Sister...wow...sister looks so beautiful today..."
"My mother is so beautiful, like a fairy. When I grow up, can I marry my mother?"
Qiu Yan: "..."
Qiu Xu and the other two showered Qiu Yan with praise.
Gu Xiaoran's last words successfully made everyone in the room laugh.
Qiu Xu stared blankly at his sister's phoenix coronet and wedding gown for a long time, his gaze lingering there.
He silently offered his blessings.
My sister must be happy.
My sister will definitely be happy!
Qiu Ling'er circled around her sister, looking her up and down.
She thought her sister was prettier than any of the brides.
Like Qiu Xu, Gu Xiaoran stared intently at Qiu Yan.
See how blessed he is?
He was probably the only one who could witness his parents' wedding.
Standing in the courtyard, Qiu Dafu looked at his eldest niece's wedding day.
I couldn't help but think of my older brother and sister-in-law, and a heavy feeling settled over me.
If my elder brother and sister-in-law were still alive, they would be very happy to see how beautiful Xiaoyan has become.
Jiang Liu pulled Qiu Ling'er and Gu Xiaoran to her sides and helped them wash their faces.
Then, she took some rouge and applied it to their foreheads.
Seeing Gu Xiaoran trying to break free, Jiang Liu, intrigued, smiled and stopped her:
"Yu'er, don't move around. Today, you two should also dress up beautifully."
Gu Xiaoran resisted silently; he really missed the way he looked when he wore men's clothing.
Then, Jiang Liu began to apply makeup to Gu Xiaoran and Qiu Ling'er.
Of the two, one was excited, and the other was forced.
A moment later, Qiu Yumei, who was standing nearby, praised him with a smile.
"Second sister-in-law is really skillful. Not to mention Xiaoyan, even Ling'er and Yu'er are like fairies descended from heaven."
Qiu Ling'er looked at herself beautifully in the bronze mirror, extremely satisfied with her appearance.
She liked her second aunt to dress her up.
