Yu Jiao had dreamed of her senior brother without any warning. This made her miss him and grandfather very much when she just woke up. She said silently in her heart: Grandpa, senior brother, I am about to get married. If you knew about this in the afterlife, you would definitely feel gratified.
Yu Jiao used to get up quickly in the morning, and Jianjia had never seen her stay in bed. She smiled and said, "Miss, are you afraid of returning home? In the past, you would get up as soon as I called you, and never sat in bed in a daze."
Yu Jiao came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head: "I am telling my deceased relatives that I am getting married today."
Jianjia said softly, "They will definitely be happy for you, young lady. I will help you wash and comb your hair. Later, the old lady of the Guo family will come over to comb your hair. She is the lady Quanfu who was invited by our old lady herself."
"Which family is Madam Guo from?" Yu Jiao usually didn't pay much attention to the noble families in the capital. The only ones she was familiar with were those that were often mentioned.
Jianjia replied, "She is Miss Song's grandmother. Although Mrs. Guo is already in her early sixties, both her parents are still alive. This is really rare. Many girls from other families want to invite Mrs. Guo to marry, but Mrs. Guo rarely agrees."
Bai Lu brought in water for washing her face. Jian Jia helped Yu Jiao roll up her sleeves and continued, "The old man of the Guo family was once a scholar of the Wenhua Palace. His ancestors were all learned men, but the old man's son gave up literature and joined the army. Most of the Guo family members are military generals now."
After rinsing her mouth and washing her face, Yu Jiao took a handkerchief to wipe it. She was a little shocked at Song Jingrong's family background. Her grandfather was the Minister of Rites Song Ling, and her grandfather's family were all military generals. This was a real aristocratic family with a prominent family background. The family was well-connected and had both civil and military positions.
Only a family like this could cultivate the dignified and generous temperament that Song Jingrong has.
After helping Yu Jiao put on her red wedding dress with wide sleeves and wide skirts, Jianjia pushed her in front of the dressing table and said with a smile, "Miss, I am sorry to show you my ugliness."
Although it was said that she was making a fool of herself, Jianjia showed off her skills today. In the past, Yu Jiao didn't like to dress up, and she seldom put rouge and powder on her face, so it was difficult for her to show off her skills. But today, she could dress up. She first tied up Yu Jiao's hair before putting on makeup.
During this time, Mrs. Liu came to visit and saw Yu Jiao was already dressing up, so she went to the front hall to greet the guests.
When Liu Yaoyu came over, Jianjia had just finished doing Yu Jiao's makeup. Liu Yaoyu's eyes flashed with surprise. In the past, Yu Jiao liked to wear plain colors and her face was not made up. She was beautiful and graceful, but could not hide her immaturity.
The heavy makeup today concealed the immaturity on Yu Jiao's face, leaving her bright and charming, with facial features that were breathtakingly beautiful.
Liu Yaoyu was simply stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
Yu Jiao glanced at the bronze mirror. The mirror was blurry. She raised the corners of her lips, and the person in the mirror also started to smile.
"Third sister, you look really pretty today." Liu Yaoyu approached and unconsciously lowered her voice, "You can make people stare at you in a trance."
Yu Jiao tilted her head and smiled softly, "It's because Jianjia is good at dressing you up. When my second sister gets married tomorrow, I'll ask her to do your makeup."
Liu Yaoyu blushed, covered her chest and said exaggeratedly: "Don't smile at me. Yu Qizhe is so blessed that he can marry you, my third sister. I envy him so much." Yu Jiao was close to her, and Liu Yaoyu couldn't stand looking at Yu Jiao's smile from such a distance.
"Second sister's lips are always as sweet as honey." Yu Jiao smiled.
At this time, Bai Lu came in and said softly, "Miss, the master is here."
"Let father in." Yu Jiao said.
Liu Yaoyu whispered, "Father must be reluctant to let you get married."
Red silk wedding characters were hung everywhere in the mansion. As Liu Yu walked along, many old memories came to his mind. Many people did not know that although Princess Huaiyang lived a life of luxury, she was a person who loved reading. Li Si was knowledgeable in astronomy and geography. Princess Huaiyang's mansion collected many rare books from previous dynasties. Liu Yu often borrowed them from Li Si and even asked Li Si for advice.
The voice and appearance of his old friend seemed to be still in front of him. Liu Yu sighed lightly, glanced at the high eaves, and stepped into the wing room.
