Chapter 55 Adding makeup
Ever since she went out with Nie Chubai on August 15th, Wen Yingxue has never left her room and has been concentrating on preparing for her wedding.
In fact, she just hid in the house, eating, drinking and having fun every day, drawing clothing and jewelry designs when she had nothing to do, and then finding time to practice her ugly handwriting.
Soon, more than ten days will pass, and tomorrow is August 28th, the day Wen Yingxue will get married.
Wen Yuyan and Aunt Yang came early in the morning.
"Tomorrow is the Sixth Miss's special day. Your Fifth Sister and I came here today to add some makeup to you." Aunt Yang said with a smile, and then handed over a small box.
Wen Yingxue opened it and saw that it was a deed to an 800-acre farm.
"Thank you, Auntie." Wen Yingxue accepted it without hesitation. After all, it was just a small farm of 800 mu, not worth mentioning to Auntie Yang.
Turning to look at Wen Yuyan again, Wen Yingxue held out her hand: "Where's yours?"
Wen Yuyan rolled her eyes and said, "How could I possibly need you?" As she spoke, the little girl behind her handed her a wooden box.
"Tsk! You're too stingy. I can tell from the box that it's definitely not something good." Wen Yingxue complained, but her hands went to open the box.
Wen Yuyan was so angry that she fell backwards.
There were twelve round fans in the box. Wen Yingxue picked one up and saw that both sides were different, with double-sided embroidery.
"I spent two or three years embroidering this, and I was going to give it to myself as a dowry. I'm giving it all to you." Wen Yuyan said angrily.
Looking at them one by one, there are twelve round fans with all kinds of flowers and patterns, and it is obvious that they are made with great care.
"Fifth sister, don't be angry! I was just joking with you. Thank you, I like it very much." Wen Yingxue pulled Wen Yuyan's clothes and coaxed her.
"Mugwort, take it away and keep it well." This was embroidered by the future queen herself, so it must be kept well.
After Wen Yuyan and Aunt Yang left, several relatives of the Wen family came and added to Wen Yingxue's makeup.
What surprised Wen Yingxue the most was that Wen Rouqing was also here.
She was wearing a light blue silk skirt, with her hair tied up in a bun, and a rose and two or three gold hairpins in her hair.
Wen Yingxue looked at Wen Rouqing carefully and found that she had become much gentler. Although there was still some hatred towards Wen Yingxue in her eyes, she had become much gentler after all.
It seems that Mr. Xu is still the same as in the original text, and he knows how to teach his wife.
Wenrouqing came just for face. After giving a golden hairpin with a magpie on a plum tree, she drank a cup of tea and left.
"The fourth young lady hasn't changed. Even at this time, she is still annoying you." Ai Ye looked at the golden hairpin of Xi Que Deng Mei, and his nose was almost crooked with anger.
The magpie is such a good omen, it’s fine, but the hairpin is not a good omen.
A hairpin has two parts, so splitting the hairpin is used to refer to the separation of a couple, such as "breaking the mirror and splitting the hairpin" or "split the hairpin and broke the belt".
In short, the implication is not good. Wen Rouqing specially gave Wen Yingxue a hairpin on this day, which was completely disgusting to her.
"Oh, does she think she can curse Nie Chubai and me like this? She is so naive and childish." Wen Yingxue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Ai Ye asked, "What about this hairpin? It's a bad omen on the young lady's wedding day."
"I'm giving it to you. You can pawn it and get a lot of silver in return." Wen Yingxue said.
Ai Ye thought about it, then accepted it with a smile: "I will pawn this hairpin in a while, and buy some delicious food for you when I come back."
After seeing Wen Rouqing off, Wen Yingxue's Xuemei Courtyard finally became quiet.
It was at this time that Aunt Lian came.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Wen Yingxue said happily, helping Auntie Lian to sit down.
Aunt Lian held a bundle in her hand and handed it to Wen Yingxue, saying, "I'm here to give you this."
"What is it?" Wen Yingxue asked, reaching out to open the bundle.
It was a set of underwear embroidered with twin lotus flowers and mandarin ducks.
Aunt Lian said, "I originally embroidered a wedding dress for you, but the Emperor gave you the Phoenix Coronet and the Red Bridal Cape, so I no longer needed the wedding dress, so I made you this undergarment and underwear."
If Wen Yingxue had to choose, she would still like to wear the wedding dress embroidered for her by Aunt Lian, but she couldn't choose.
"Aunt, I will keep the wedding dress you embroidered well. When your granddaughter gets married, I will give it to her." Wen Yingxue hugged Aunt Lian's waist, buried her head in her arms, and said.
"Okay! I'll wait for that day." Aunt Lian said with a smile.
Wen Yingxue looked up and smiled, and Aunt Lian touched her face lovingly.
"Aunt, I'm getting married tomorrow, and I have something to give you." Wen Yingxue took out a small box containing 20,000 taels of silver notes.
"This is the dividend sent by Concubine Yang. Please take it. Although Concubine Yang will definitely not make things difficult for you after I get married, it is easier to get things done with money in hand. You must keep this money well."
Lian Yi Niang declined, saying she didn't want anything at all: "I have money, you don't have to worry about me, you can take this money! You will definitely spend a lot when you get to the general's mansion."
"Aunt, since Nie Chubai married me, he will spend money on me, so you don't have to worry about that. Besides, Aunt Yang and I are doing business, and we can get dividends every year. You can take this money."
In the end, Aunt Lian accepted it.
"Xue'er has grown up, and giving birth to you is my blessing." Aunt Lian looked at Wen Yingxue with red eyes and said.
"Aunt, we are mother and daughter, so let's not talk about this. Don't go back today. I'm getting married tomorrow, and tonight, I want you to sleep with me."
Aunt Lian, who always respected etiquette and never overstepped her bounds, hesitated for only a second before agreeing to Wen Yingxue.
In the evening, after washing up, the mother and daughter lay on the bed and chatted. Aunt Lian was teaching Wen Yingxue, but she knew that being a wife didn't have many principles, so she just said whatever came to her mind.
Wen Yingxue just listened quietly. This was all Aunt Lian's love for her, and she must remember it well.
"Don't act like a child with General Nie. Know when to advance and when to retreat."
"Okay, I understand." Although she fell in love with Nie Chubai, he was still a villain after all, so Wen Yingxue didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
When Nie Chubai looked at her coldly, she felt a little scared.
Aunt Lian continued, "Don't have a child so early. You're still young, and it's not good to get pregnant too early. You need to take care of your body. Got it?"
Wen Yingxue nodded with a blush. Nie Chubai couldn't break Yuan Yang at all. If they got married tomorrow, they probably wouldn't even be able to consummate the marriage, and it was unknown when they would have a child.
"It happened so fast! I remember when I gave birth to you, you were just a tiny little thing, so soft when I held you, I didn't dare to use any strength.
In the blink of an eye, you have grown up so much and are getting married tomorrow."
Wen Yingxue snuggled into Aunt Lian's arms and said after a while, "How about Aunt Lian come with me? Nie Chubai and I will take you to the General's Mansion, okay?"
"Nonsense! How can I live in the general's mansion when the master is still alive? Stop talking now, or someone might overhear you." Aunt Lian scolded.
"I don't want to leave you."
Aunt Lian patted Wen Yingxue's back, just like when they were little, and said, "I can't bear to leave you either."
