Chapter 141 Dressing Up
"Just keep it in mind."
Mrs. Xu smiled and touched her daughter's head, then took her to the dressing table, just like she did when they were little.
"Sit down, let me comb your hair."
"Didn't you say there was a dresser?"
Jiang Wan sat down obediently and watched his mother pick up the peach wood comb and turn behind him.
"There are rules for this. Mom will comb your hair in advance so you can put on your makeup later."
Not sure if what she said was right or not, Jiang Wan could feel the gentle hands falling on his head, and heard his mother whispering in a gentle voice in his ears.
"Comb all the way to the end,
Second comb of white hair to eyebrows,
"Three combs, children and grandchildren all over the place..."
Every time Xu raised her hand, she would mutter something, but this crying woman's eyes just didn't turn red today.
She is really happy!
Their eldest daughter was getting married, the kind with a grand wedding ceremony and a formal ceremony! She would no longer be as aggrieved and flustered as her sister and herself had been in the past.
Their eldest sister now has everything a married woman should have. How could Mrs. Xu not be happy?
Not long after my hair was combed, the hairdresser came in at the auspicious time.
From face shaping to makeup and dressing, every step is carried out according to the most rigorous family standards.
Perhaps out of a desire to make up for her regrets, Xu did her utmost to give her daughter the best. Even the dresser was someone she had snatched from another lady by rolling up her sleeves, disregarding her dignity as a First-Rank Consort.
As expected, a great reputation is well deserved. The dressing lady's craftsmanship is excellent. Mrs. Xu watched from the side and nodded in satisfaction.
Time flies when you are busy. By the time the first golden ray from the sky shines through the window and reflects dazzling light in the dressing mirror, the bride has already finished dressing up.
Jiang Wan stood up and fluttered her wide sleeves, she was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
The icy skin hides the jade-like bones, and the green clothes are tailored to suit the slender waist.
Her eyebrows are as green as willow's, and her eyes are as charming as apricot's.
Her lips contain peach petals, and her hair is covered with golden hairpins.
Her beauty is captivating, and she dances in the sky with her sleeves waving.
She looked like a goddess from the sky who was about to walk away in the morning light, leaving everyone present stunned for a moment.
"Mom, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
A question broke the silence in the room, and when Xu came back to her senses, she was extremely proud.
"How could it not be done? This is too good to be true!"
"Madam Lingguo is absolutely right. Your eldest daughter is truly a beauty rarely seen in heaven or on earth. Especially with her elegant demeanor, she is truly worthy of being the daughter of a wealthy family who will become a princess. Her appearance is so majestic that one dares not even look directly at her!"
This dresser is indeed a wonderful person, as she comes from a wealthy family. She praises the girl to the highest heavens as soon as she opens her mouth.
Jiang Wan's face clearly had a charming edge, but it was her clear and intelligent eyes that suppressed the smouldering color. Yet, the dresser flattered her into a deity, as if she were the inviolable goddess of the Ninth Heaven, having descended from the clouds.
Just ask, on such a happy day, who doesn't like to hear something nice? Xu was beaming, and the reward was gleaming neatly.
"Zi Yu, give the dresser another red envelope."
"yes."
"Oh, thank you, Madam Lingguo! I wish the princess and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi a loving and harmonious marriage, a son and grandchildren soon, and happiness and success every day..."
The dresser, who had already packed up and was about to leave, was beaming with joy and was piling up good words as if they were free.
Jiang Wan looked at her mother with amusement as she was dizzy from being flattered. After the eloquent makeup expert left, she started to make a joke.
"Mom, I hear you say nice things to my dad every day. Today I realized that you also like to hear others say nice things to you."
"Girl, who doesn't like to hear nice words? Otherwise, why would there be such a thing as sweet talk? Besides, the words of congratulations weren't false. My son is truly stunning today, just like the fairy Gushe!"
Mrs. Xu was simply too proud! It could be said that what she was most proud of over the years was raising such an enviable pair of daughters.
"My eldest sister is really beautiful."
Jiang Wan blinked slightly.
"Don't worry, our second daughter is not bad looking either. When she grows up to my age, she will definitely be as beautiful as a fairy."
Xu nodded in agreement.
"Yes, you and your sister are both good-looking, even better-looking than your mother and I were."
"This is all the legacy left to us by our grandparents, and of course it's also thanks to Mom, who knows how to grow flowers. If you just rely on the two of us to grow on our own, wouldn't it just dry up in the ground?
"When you have time someday, take the third and fourth sons to the Xu family's ancestral tomb and kowtow a few more times. Who knows, maybe the Xu family's ancestors will be so happy that they will reward you with two handsome and unparalleled sons."
"You are such a jerk, girl. You are still making jokes on your wedding day. You are said to be unparalleled in handsomeness, so how can you give me two at once?"
Mrs. Xu was amused by her eldest daughter and started laughing.
"Alright, sit down on the bed quickly. Don't get down again, okay? Your sisters should be here soon. Let Hongzhu and Hongxiu serve you, and you just sit still. Did you hear me?"
"I understand. You explained it many times yesterday. I will not let you down. Don't worry."
With the help of two personal maids, Jiang Wan sat down in the place designated by her mother with dignity and grace. Xu then stuffed a glittering and colorful cassia fan into her daughter's hand.
"Hurry up! When the auspicious time arrives and the groom comes to pick up the bride, remember not to move the fan. You can only put it away once you arrive at Prince Qi's mansion and enter the bridal chamber. Remember!"
"Mom, just go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of the important stuff!"
"Naughty girl."
Xu smiled and chattered softly until her eldest daughter's friends came over with more makeup, then she got up and went to the yard to make arrangements.
Xiao Ji, Xiao Sun and Xiao Shen, Jiang Wan's three die-hard fans, have been overwhelmed by their big sister's extraordinary beauty today.
"Oh my god, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is so lucky, isn't he? This is some kind of celestial being, and he's about to snatch her away from him today? I, I'm suddenly so jealous of him!"
Sun Lanlan suddenly felt a little bolder than she knew where, and began to feel envious, jealous, and resentful towards the lucky guy, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi.
"I really hate my parents! Why couldn't they have paid more attention to me when they gave birth to me and given me a boy? If I were a boy, I wouldn't give up my position as the eldest sister. I would definitely marry into your family!"
"Get out of here."
Ji Jingshu, who had always been against her, approached the idol leader stealthily. Looking at the seemingly unreal beauty in front of her, she had to use all her self-control to control herself from reaching out to touch her.
