After dinner, Chen Ahfu went back to her bedroom and dressed herself up. In order to stand out as a young girl, she only focused on luxurious clothes and jewelry. She was pregnant, had no waist, and her face was a little swollen. After dressing up, she, a pregnant woman with a big belly, did not stand out too much.
Afterwards, he called the little girl in and started to beat her up.
Miss Chu's clothes were a set of high-end children's clothing designed by Chen Afu and launched by the Nishang Embroidery Workshop. The top was a Yang Fei-colored silk short coat with a stand-up collar and slanted collar. The five pairs of black double-ear buttons and the black circles on the collar and hem were the embellishments on the clothes. The bottom was a bright red long gauze skirt with a large, fluffy hem.
The top is somewhat like the student uniforms of the Republic of China in the past, and is similar to the tops popular in this era. However, the student uniforms are shorter, with tight waists and wide hems. The tops of this era are longer, and the waist is not obvious. If the skirt is black, it will look better. But if a little girl wears it today, it must be festive, and black is not suitable for girls' dresses in ancient times.
Two jade lotus hairpins and two Yang Fei colored flowers were inserted into her hair, and a little cinnabar was applied between her eyebrows. Her eyebrows were also lightly drawn, and a light layer of rouge was applied on her cheeks.
Chen Ahfu knew that the little girl was particularly fond of beauty, so last night, she used Dankou to dye her nails red. She adjusted the color, not bright red, but more pink. She also added a little pearl powder in it, which gave off a faint glow.
The little girl is pretty even without any grooming, and when she dresses up, she is incredibly beautiful.
Not to mention the little girl was so happy after looking in the mirror, even Dabao was so excited that he kept saying, "Sister is so pretty, just as pretty as mom. Oh, there is no one prettier than you two."
A Lu and Chu Lingzhi also thought that Chu Hanyan was as beautiful as a fairy today, but they were too embarrassed to praise the girl like Dabao did.
Li Xuan thought that Chen Dabao was surprised and said, "Sister Yan and Auntie are so beautiful every day, how come Brother Dabao just noticed it?"
Chu Lingxuan looked at the pretty little girl, smiling. She looked calm on the outside, but her heart was surging. He thought of her fourth birthday three years ago. At that time, she was stupid and silly, and could hardly speak or laugh. People called her a "crazy girl". But now, she is smart, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, smiling and full of happiness... It is really different from before.
He knew that this was all thanks to his wife. Without his wife, his daughter's life would be miserable. He had the urge to hold his wife in his arms, but seeing the children in the room, he resisted.
Then looking at Little Eleven who was sincerely praising his wife and daughter, he didn't think this little thing was annoying at all, and it was quite cute.
Chu Lingxuan handed the little girl a small brocade box and said, "This is a birthday gift from your father. I wish you a happy birthday."
"Thank you, Daddy." The little girl smiled with her eyes curved.
Afterwards, Chu Lingxuan took Chen Alu, Chu Lingzhi, Chen Dabao, Zhuifeng's family, and Wangcai and his wife to the front yard to entertain the guests. Zhuifeng's family was a social star in Dingzhou Prefecture, and was loved by both adults and children.
Chen Afu brought Chu Hanyan and Li Xuan to the flower hall, where the female guests would be entertained.
Chen Ahfu looked at the pine-like figures in front of him. They were of different heights, but even from their backs, they looked handsome. The children grew up so fast. They had grown so tall in the blink of an eye.
Especially A Lu, who has grown rapidly in the past two years and is already about 1.6 meters tall, taller than Chen Ming. Chen Ming and Wang Shi are both short, and A Lu was also thin and small before. Perhaps his life has improved in recent years, and he often eats things with Yan Chenxiang, so he grows very fast. He is only thirteen years old, and he can grow at least ten centimeters. He is handsome, and if he grows taller, he will be a handsome young man.
This year, several families have wanted to marry A-Lu. Most of them are gentry, and two of Chu Lingxuan's subordinates. They not only like Chu Lingxuan as a brother-in-law, but also because A-Lu is excellent - good at studying, good-looking, and good-tempered.
Chen Afu smiled, feeling quite proud that his younger brother had grown up.
When they reached the corridor, Chu Lingxuan and his group walked forward, while Chen Afu led the little girl and Li Xuan behind.
The flower hall is next to the back garden and is a row of side rooms specially used for entertaining guests or for taking a rest to enjoy the flowers.
The autumn is in full swing and the sun is bright. In the garden, not only are the chrysanthemums and camellias in full bloom, but also the begonias, roses, cannas and other flowers are in full bloom. Chen Ahfu, who has no worries about material life, has devoted more attention to spiritual pursuits. She occasionally uses some water mixed with swallow manure to water the flowers, especially the pots of precious chrysanthemums and camellias, which are large and extremely beautiful.
Chen Afu went into the house again and saw that it was decorated with flowers and looked very festive.
At this time, Song came with Wen Ge'er. She wanted to help Chen Afu entertain the female guests.
The first wave of guests to come were Chu Hua and his son and Luo Si's grandmother and her daughter. They came two years ago, when the little girl was five years old. When they saw Chu Hanyan today, their eyes widened.
After two years of not seeing each other, could this little girl smiling at them be Yan Jie'er? If it weren't for the similar facial features, Chen Afu standing next to her, and the praise from Liaochen before, they wouldn't have believed that this little girl was the once silly and foolish Yan Jie'er.
Chu Hua was pleasantly surprised and said, "Oh my god, Sister Yan, what a good child, you have grown up so big and are still so pretty and smart."
Grandma Luo also smiled and said, "Sister Yan, do you still remember me?"
Chu Hanyan certainly didn't remember them. But she had heard her mother calling them just now, so she smiled and gave them a standard blessing, calling out, "Aunt, Fourth Cousin." She also called Luo Ying and Heng Ge'er, "Sister Ying, Brother Heng."
Chu Hua and Grandma Luo Si both pulled the little girl aside and praised her.
Luo Ying was twelve years old, pretty and lovely, and she was said to have been engaged. She not only liked the clever little girl, but also liked her unique clothes. Luo Ying knew that Chen Afu could design clothes, and the buttons in her mother's dowry shop were designed by her. She also guessed that Yan Jie'er's clothes were designed by her.
Then he said to Chen Ahfu, "Cousin, Cousin Yan's clothes are really beautiful. Look, is this kind of clothes suitable for me to wear?"
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Of course it is suitable. Make the top color lighter and more elegant, and use satin instead of gauze for the skirt, it will still look good." Seeing the little stars in Luo Ying's eyes, he smiled again, "Go to the Nishang Embroidery Workshop tomorrow, pick out the material, and ask the embroiderer there to make it for you."
Luo Ying smiled with her eyes curved, and pulled Chen Afu to say thank you.
Then, Jiang came with Chen Yuqing and her sister. Then, the guests came to the flower hall one after another. When they saw the pretty and lovely Chu Hanyan, they praised her ravely, and the little girl was embarrassed.
