Chapter 860 Getting Married (1)
The eighth day of the first lunar month was a rare auspicious day according to the lunar calendar, auspicious for weddings and funerals, as well as for long journeys. At daybreak, Shen Miao was awakened by Jingzhe and Guyu, who were about to dress her up.
Originally, Shen Miao thought that she would not be able to sleep the night before no matter what, but who knew that when the day really came, she slept exceptionally soundly. It was as if she had returned to the carefree days of her childhood.
Because of a good sleep, her face looked even more radiant and her complexion was excellent. Bailu and Shuangjiang brought some exquisite cakes to Chen Miao, all of which were small. Bailu said, "Young lady, please eat something to fill your stomach first. Today's wedding ceremony is very complicated, and you can't go hungry on the way." She also picked up a small bowl of porridge and said, "This is the winter porridge that Madam personally made for you early in the morning. Drink it and you will have good luck and happiness!"
Shen Miao picked up the bowl and drank slowly, but she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In her previous life, she married Fu Xiuyi out of anger and tears at her family, forcing Chen Xin to finally agree. But this marriage was met with more excitement than blessings. Luo Xueyan was so irritated by her that she barely managed to complete the wedding ceremony. How could she have the energy to cook porridge?
Unlike now, everyone in the mansion was so happy and worked hard for her. Shen Miao herself felt that this marriage seemed to be very good.
Just as they finished eating, Luo Xueyan came in, followed by a middle-aged woman. The woman didn't look very outstanding, but people's eyes couldn't help but fall on her. Her clothes were also very exquisite, and people remembered her at first sight.
"This is Madam Mei from Dingjing," Luo Xueyan said with a smile, "She has come specially to be your bridesmaid today."
Shen Miao was slightly surprised.
Lady Mei was a well-known figure in Dingjing. Born into an official family, she ventured into commerce at a young age, despite her family's opposition. Her business was focused on rouge, powder, clothing, and jewelry. Dingjing was home to countless pampered daughters, and the daughters of officials had no shortage of money; anything to satisfy their love of beauty was essential.
And Lady Mei's clothes, jewelry, rouge and powder are all the best and unique. Although Lady Mei is a businesswoman, no one will look down on her.
However, Mei Niangzi's most outstanding skill was applying makeup and dressing. Once upon a time, a prince of Ming Qi married a concubine. The concubine had some friendship with Mei Niang, so Mei Niang was appointed as her bridesmaid. Later, people said that the princess's bride was probably the most beautiful since the founding of Ming Qi.
But Mei Niangzi was the bridesmaid for the other party only because she was friends with the other party, and others were not so lucky. In all these years, Mei Niangzi had never been the bridesmaid for anyone else.
Shen Miao was surprised in her heart, and said with a smile: “I didn’t expect that Madam Mei would be willing to do me a favor.”
Madam Mei smiled and said, "Princess, please don't say that. As soon as I saw you, I felt like we were meant to be. I wanted to come here to ask for a lucky break, so I came here with such a shameless face. If you don't despise my craftsmanship, I'm very satisfied."
These businessmen have always been good at talking, saying different things to different people. Shen Miao naturally did not believe in the talk of getting along, and thought that maybe Shen Xin paid a high price for this Madam Mei. But then she thought again, Madam Mei did not seem to be short of money, and even did business based on her mood, so why would she care about the benefits of these external things?
Just as she was thinking about it, Madam Mei came forward and said with a smile, "Princess, this bride's outfit is very complicated. Please put on your wedding dress first so that I can put on your makeup."
Luo Xueyan hurriedly urged Shen Miao to go over.
Change clothes, comb your face, do your hair, change your jewelry, and apply layers of makeup.
