Chapter 140 Adding makeup
"You're always right."
"That's right. Sister, you go talk to grandma first. I'll go help mom. There's a lot of things going on in the yard."
"Okay, go ahead."
Jiang Han turned and left.
Jiang Wan helped the man into the house.
"Grandma, do you have something to talk to me about?"
After helping her sit down on the chair, I sat down next to her. I saw the old lady had an awkward look on her face and coughed twice.
"Why, my eldest granddaughter is getting married, and as her grandmother, can't I come over to see her?"
"How is that possible? I'm just worried about your age. I'll have to go kowtow to you and my grandfather and pay my respects to you soon. Why would I bother you making a special trip in the dark?"
The old lady sucked her teeth twice, and seeing that her eldest granddaughter was not nervous or blushing at all, she muttered something curiously.
"You're getting married today, but you look the same as usual. No, I think you're even more calm than before."
Jiang Wan laughed.
Maybe they learned it from me, but my family members always come up with a wise saying or two from time to time.
"I've already experienced the worry and anxiety some time ago, so why should I panic now that the situation has finally come to a head? Besides, my mother explained the specific procedures to me last night. Li Chengxiu knows me well too. If I marry into the Prince Qi's mansion, I'll be the head of the family myself, so there's no need to panic."
She would never tell them how she cried like a baby in her mother's arms last night.
"Huh, you still have the nerve to say that to the second girl? Don't you always act like you're right every day?"
The old lady kept nagging her granddaughter as she placed the small bundle she had brought with her on the table. She unwrapped the cloth layer by layer, revealing a small wooden box.
"for you."
The skinny old hand pushed the box in front of his granddaughter.
"What is this?"
Jiang Wan said with a smile as he reached out to unlock the wooden box, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Inside were no rare treasures or egg buns, but two large gold bracelets made of very solid material. It seemed...
His eyes glanced at the old lady's wrist.
The other party curled his lips.
"I know your mother is the most partial, and she must have prepared a lot of good things for you, so don't think I'm stingy. The money I saved for my coffins is for my two grandsons.
"It's great that I can share a little with you now. Don't be so ungrateful and still covet my new gold bracelets. Your mother promised to give them to me as a gift of filial piety, so I can't give them to you!"
"Well, I don't want it. Thank you grandma for remembering to give me something. Your granddaughter is very content."
Jiang Wan laughed again. The old lady saw that the girl had no intention of despising her, and a hint of joy crept into the corners of her wrinkled eyes.
He was obviously very happy in his heart, but he was still stubborn and looking for trouble.
"Humph, if I hadn't heard that when a wealthy family marries their daughter, the elders will give her a dowry, I wouldn't be willing to give you such a good thing. This was a gift from the emperor to me, an old woman, when he was not yet the emperor. It's worth a lot of money, don't you know?"
"I know, thank you, grandma!"
Jiang Wan wouldn't be so heartless as to reject this gift. It was a token of the old lady's love for her granddaughter. Affection is more valuable than anything else.
She suddenly began to miss home again.
I've already started thinking about this even before I got married.
"Grandma, you've aroused my emotions. What should I do if I don't want to get married?"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft! What are you talking about on such a happy day? Children speak without restraint, so hurry up and spit twice!"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, children's words are innocent."
"That's more like it!"
The old lady looked at the girl who had troubled her for many years. She had been silly and difficult to serve since she was a child, and now she had finally become smart, but she was too smart, making it difficult for others to keep up with her.
She knew that she was just an ordinary country woman, illiterate and without much knowledge, but she knew one thing.
"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. The most important thing for a woman in her life may not be to be born into a good family, but she must find a good man.
"Your Highness, Prince Qi, I think he's good in every way, except for the fact that he almost hit you on the head! I'm jealous of his attentiveness, and you still dare to say you don't want to get married?"
Do you believe that if we miss this village, the store will be taken over by someone else right after we leave? You have to keep this in mind, okay?
"I know, I know. I just said that casually because I can't bear to leave home. I will definitely get married, don't worry."
This old lady really couldn't get anyone to be sentimental at all. Jiang Wan could only go along with what she said to make her nod in satisfaction.
"I'm going to tell you something upfront. After we get married, you have to live a good life with the King of Qi. Do you understand? Don't always use your old tricks. Oh, great strength can make miracles happen!"
The old lady rolled her eyes at her angrily.
"Your husband is no longer your brother. Don't just pick him up and beat him up for no reason. If this gets out, will you be able to get away with it?
You have to know that when you are trying to please your man in public, you can't do stupid things that make people talk behind your back.
I'm telling you, if you dare to bully others in the future, I will definitely not stand by your side."
"No, I haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already protecting me? Whose grandmother are you?"
"I am the fairest grandmother!"
The things that needed to be delivered were delivered, and the instructions that needed to be given were given. The old lady stood up and prepared to return to her own courtyard.
"Hurry up and eat a few bites while your mother is away. She has a lot of rules and is very particular about them. I heard that you are not allowed to eat or drink anything today, so don't faint from hunger on the way.
It's okay to eat a few snacks behind her back, but don't tell her I taught you that. I'm leaving!"
"Oh, I see."
Jiang Wan stood up to help her.
"Grandma, let me take you home."
"No need, the maids are waiting outside. Just be a good bride today and don't embarrass your parents in public. That will be considered as your filial piety!"
These were clearly kind words of concern, but the old lady was forcing them down. Jiang Wan watched her skinny little body walk out of the courtyard, supported by the maid. The warmth in his eyes almost warmed up all the days in his past life when his grandparents didn't like him.
Some family ties do not necessarily require blood ties.
"Wanjie, are you done packing?"
Xu entrusted the matter of the dowry in the front yard to her sister-in-law and youngest daughter, and hurriedly stepped into Qiuya Garden again. She saw her eldest daughter leaning against the door with a warm smile on her face.
"What are you standing here for? Go inside and sit down while the dresser comes to do your makeup."
"Didn't you say that the dresser would come at an auspicious time? She hasn't come yet, why are you so anxious?"
Jiang Wan walked forward and put his arm around his mother, then pulled her to the table, showing off a little proudly.
"Mom, grandma just came over to divide the family business with me. Look, she gave me her most precious pair of big gold bracelets!"
Xu laughed.
"I just ran into your grandmother at the courtyard gate. Why was she walking so fast? It turns out she came to buy you some makeup. This old lady, why did she buy her granddaughter's makeup without telling me?"
"Well, I guess I'm embarrassed."
Jiang Wan also laughed.
"You know, I've always argued with her for so many years. But grandma is so broad-minded that she didn't bother with a little kid like me. She loves me!"
