Chapter 39 Wedding
"Miss, you won't agree, will you?"
"Why not? It's such a high price, and I need it urgently. It's a rare opportunity."
Jiang Youning thought that if you have money but don't make it, you'd be stupid.
Chuntao was puzzled: "But they want to compete with you for the general. How can you let them have their way?"
Jiang Youning smiled and asked back: "If I don't make them velvet hairpins, they won't marry the general?"
Chuntao shook her head.
"Why don't I take advantage of the money?"
Chuntao suddenly realized, "Miss, I understand. If they come to rob the general, we can just take their money and never suffer a loss."
Jiang Youning smiled, "That's it."
The next day, when Xiao Yu came, Jiang Youning had already made the step-shake.
The queen was the mother of a country, so she made a phoenix step-shake.
Xiao Yu saw it and was amazed, "Ning'er, you are too amazing. If the queen sees it, she will definitely like it."
Jiang Youning did not comment.
Xiao Yu readily gave her two hundred silver coins, took the velvet step-shake back home, and showed it to his mother as soon as possible.
"Mother, I bought the brocade."
Princess Jing took the exquisite box from her son's hand, and opened it with her slender jade fingers. Inside was a brocade with a phoenix flying in the air, which was very exquisite.
She said, "Yu'er is reliable in doing things."
Seeing that her mother was satisfied, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Mother, my son is a little short of money recently, you see..."
Princess Jing found that her son spent too much money recently, and he was always short of money.
She stared at her son with curiosity: "You are not interested in any girl, are you?"
Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed, "Mother, no, I met a friend."
Seeing that her son was shy, Princess Jing was more certain that he had a sweetheart, and took out a banknote from her sleeve pocket and handed it to him.
"Take it."
Xiao Yu picked up the banknote and saw the one thousand two silvers on it, and put the banknote away with satisfaction.
When leaving, Princess Jing did not forget to remind him, "Bring it back when you have time and show it to your mother."
Xiao Yu went straight to the training ground after leaving the palace.
The girl didn't have one, but the little brother did have one.
When Xiao Yu came, he saw a thin figure standing on the shooting range, with a cold temperament, just like that face.
At this time, the young man was holding a curved bow and an arrow in his hand. His posture was standard, and the arrow was like a gust of wind, accurately hitting the red heart.
"Chu Qing." Xiao Yu strode over with a smile.
Chu Qing looked back and saw the young master of Jinling walking towards him.
"You are amazing. You look so much thinner than me, but you can shoot arrows at a distance of 100 steps. How can you teach me?" Xiao Yu looked at him with her beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Chu Qing said indifferently: "I don't have time."
Xiao Yu was not discouraged, "How about you be my bodyguard? As long as you are willing, I will tell the emperor and he will definitely agree."
Chu Qing replied with three words, "No."
Xiao Yu said in a soft voice: "Don't rush to refuse, think about it."
"No need to think about it." Chu Qing said, and went to lead the horse without looking back.
Xiao Yu looked at the thin figure, touched his chin, and was a little distressed, "Why is it so hard to eat?"
Du Huilan and Nan Mianmian's velvet hairpins were made on the fourth day. If Jiang Youning hadn't been sleepy, it wouldn't have taken four days.
Du Huilan came to get the velvet hairpin at the appointed time.
Although Chuntao didn't like Du Huilan, she had spent a lot of money on her recently, because both Du Huilan and Nan Mianmian wanted to outdo each other, so they bought a lot of velvet hairpins.
"Miss, this is the velvet you wanted."
When Chuntao handed the velvet hairpin to Du Huilan, she saw the surprise in her eyes.
Du Huilan was very satisfied, "When you wear it in your hair on the wedding day, it will definitely make General Xie's eyes light up."
Chuntao: "..." General Xie didn't want to marry you at all.
As soon as she put away the two hundred taels of silver, Nan Mianmian came over swinging a handkerchief.
"Is the velvet hairpin I want ready?"
"It's ready, Miss, take a look." Chuntao took out the velvet hairpin she had prepared in advance and handed it to Nan Mianmian.
Nan Mianmian took the velvet hairpin and held it in front of her eyes, and looked at it carefully. As expected, if she spent more money, the velvet flowers would be more exquisite than before.
On the wedding day, she will definitely be able to beat Du Huilan.
Both Du and Nan's daughters are rich people, and they are very generous when paying money.
The day before the wedding, Jiang Youning slept until noon and ate meat buns. She didn't look like a girl who was about to marry.
When Xue Yi delivered the wedding dress, he saw Jiang Youning eating meat buns with big mouthfuls. He could smell the fragrance even when standing at the door. He hadn't eaten meat buns for a long time, and he actually wanted to try them.
"Miss Jiang, the wedding dress is ready. Try it on first. If it doesn't fit, you can modify it."
After today, you can't call her Miss Jiang.
Jiang Youning puffed her cheeks and said, "I'll try it after I finish the last meat bun."
Xue Yi laughed softly, "No need to rush now."
Jiang Youning finished the meat bun in her hand, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then put on the wedding dress with Chuntao's help.
In the bronze mirror, her delicate little face was reflected. She looked even more delicate in the bright red wedding dress.
Chuntao looked at Jiang Youning in the wedding dress carefully. Her waist was too thin, which made the wedding dress look a little loose. It would look better if it was tighter.
She pinched the empty space between her fingers and asked, "Miss, do you want to change this?"
Jiang Youning looked down and felt that this place was very loose when she put it on.
"Just wear it for one day tomorrow, no need to change it."
Chuntao remembered that she had heard the old lady in the mansion say that the candles in the bridal chamber were very important.
She blushed and whispered, "...Miss, men like it."
Jiang Youning looked over and saw Chuntao with a red face. She really wanted to tell Chuntao that she and Xie Jing were a fake couple.
Even if she wanted to, Xie Jing might not agree.
After Jiang Youning came out, she told Xue Yi that there was no need to change.
"Then I'll go back first."
After Xue Yi left, Jiang Youning looked at the jewelry, which were all made of pure gold, and some were inlaid with gemstones and pearls.
Chuntao walked in from outside and asked in confusion: "What happened to Yuanbao today? He kept chopping wood and the axe was about to be broken by him."
Jiang Youning listened, sat up with the help of the low table, leaned on the window and looked out, and saw Yuanbao holding an axe, raising it high and then dropping it heavily, and felt that the window was shaking.
The next day, it was four o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Youning, who was still in her dreamland, was pushed awake by Chuntao.
"Miss, it's time to get up and wash up."
With Chuntao's help, Jiang Youning sat in the bathtub filled with fresh flower petals.
From washing to dressing up, Jiang Youning spent the whole time in a doze.
Until the sound of firecrackers was heard outside, indicating that the wedding sedan had arrived.
Jiang Youning suddenly woke up, stood up and walked to the table, stuffing the pre-wrapped cakes into her waist pocket.
After stuffing the cakes, she picked up an apple and stuffed it into another pocket.
When measuring the measurements, she specifically asked for a big pocket.
Chuntao watched this scene and realized that the girl wanted a pocket to hold food.
