Chapter 352 Special Makeup Gift
Lu Zhiran was stunned when he heard this.
"Your Highness Prince Jin?"
Ma smiled and said, "Yes, this time His Royal Highness Prince Jin sent people to Suzhou to invite us to the capital, so we came here."
After saying that, he hurriedly explained, "It's not that we're too arrogant to come, but our Luo family is a merchant family with a low status. If we rashly come, we might be seen as trying to curry favor with others. That's why we're hesitant. Mother has always missed you and wanted to come and see you."
That's true.
The Luo family is indeed wealthy, but they cannot escape their identity as merchants.
When Lu Guanxuan was still just a minor official, he looked down on the Luo family's merchant status, and the same was true for the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Now, Lu Zhiran is going to marry the prince of the current dynasty, and I am afraid he will not take their Luo family seriously.
The Luo family originally planned to send someone to deliver the additional dowry in a low-key manner, and did not intend to make a high-profile appearance, for fear of causing displeasure to Prince Jin.
Unexpectedly, Prince Jin did not care about this at all. Instead, he specially sent people to the Luo family and sincerely invited them to Shangjing.
Old Master Luo and Old Madam Luo also wanted to see their granddaughter, so they both came.
Prince Jin's actions made them feel how much he valued Lu Zhiran.
They also want to meet their grandson-in-law.
She married the wrong person last time, so this time, they would only feel at ease if they saw with their own eyes that she was living a good life.
After hearing these words, Lu Zhiran couldn't help but feel moved.
She didn't expect that Xiao Yanci did all this behind her back.
He should have sent someone to Suzhou a long time ago, but he didn't mention it at all.
Old Madam Luo kept holding her, and looked at her face carefully. As she looked, tears welled up in her eyes.
"You look exactly like your mother."
Looking at her, Mrs. Luo couldn't help but think of her daughter who died young.
Lu Zhiran's heart also began to ripple, and her longing for her mother surged.
Ma said hurriedly, "If my sister were to see that Ran Jieer had such a happy marriage, she would surely be pleased."
Old Madam Luo wiped away her tears, smiled and nodded.
The grandfather and grandson sat down to reminisce about the past. Old Lady Luo asked about Xiao Yanci, "Prince Jin was willing to invite us to Suzhou for you and build momentum for you. It's clear that he has you in his heart."
The man's face appeared in Lu Zhiran's mind, and a hint of warmth unconsciously appeared on her face.
"Your Highness is a very nice person."
Old Madam Luo took in all the changes in her expression, and a hint of smile appeared in her eyes.
This time, Sister Ran met her true love.
At this time, there was another new movement on the street, and the maid immediately went to inquire excitedly.
Could it be that someone is here to add makeup to the young lady?
A huge team came from outside the city.
This team is very special. It is composed of only women, and they are all wearing the most festive clothes.
Someone recognized them.
"These are the women workers at Jinxiufang."
"Are they also here to add makeup to Princess Jin?"
"That must be the case. Princess Jin had found a way for them to survive, and now they are here to repay Princess Jin."
A group of women walked to the gate of Lu Mansion, and the ones leading them were Chun Xing and Lin Hui Niang.
Chun Xing's family was destroyed and she almost died because of Fang Chengqi's harm. When she was in Jinxiufang, she almost collapsed because of those rumors.
But she finally got through it.
This way of survival was given by Lu Zhiran.
The reason why Lin Huiniang had the confidence to divorce was because of the existence of Jinxiufang.
It was also because of Lu Zhiran's order to strictly guard against the enemy that she was no longer harassed by her ex-husband's family and was able to concentrate on learning embroidery in Jinxiufang.
The two of them are the most talented and have made the most progress among all the embroiderers.
The crowd carried a huge screen to the entrance of the Lu Mansion. "I and others have embroidered this screen of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix to congratulate the princess on her wedding. May the princess and the prince be like phoenixes perched on wutong trees, with a hundred birds paying homage to them. The thousands of feathers on the screen are all a token of Jinxiufang's gratitude. Please don't abandon it, princess!"
They lifted the red cloth on the screen, and the onlookers were instantly stunned.
The screen is embroidered with cranes bearing blessings, magpies perched on plum trees, mandarin ducks embracing each other...different auspicious birds, each created by a different embroiderer. When unfolded, the entire screen resembles a peacock spreading its feathers, radiant with color and incomparably magnificent.
Those hands that once couldn't even hold a needle steadily can now produce such a work of art. Their growth is obvious to everyone.
In addition to the embroiderer, the powder lady also took out her own makeup.
Tianxiang Rouge Cream, Jinhuadian, Daishi Eyebrow Pencil, Jinlu Applique, Hundred Years of Happiness Fragrance Dew...
They were all mixed by themselves and packed in gilded peony rouge boxes, which were extremely delicate and gorgeous.
"Rouge dyes a thousand joys, and perfumed powder evenly spreads a bond that lasts forever. The cosmetics team at Jinxiufang respectfully presents a dressing box. May the princess and the prince live happily ever after."
After that, the spice group, velvet flower group and others came to add makeup one by one.
Their gifts for adding to their betrothal were varied, and without exception they were all made by themselves.
This addition may not be the most expensive, but it is the most unique, and it is a report card of their growth.
When the onlookers saw this, they were all shocked.
Looking back, last year everyone suffered from the cold due to the shortage of charcoal. Thanks to Taicang Commercial Bank taking the lead in building a shelter, everyone was able to survive the cold winter.
Princess Jin’s merits are immeasurable!
Originally, the people were just watching for fun, but when they saw the gifts for adding to the makeup presented by the people from Jinxiufang, they began to feel something.
Immediately, many people went home, took out what they could afford at home, and brought it to the gate of Lu's mansion to add to the dowry.
For a time, Lu Zhiran's reputation was pushed to the peak, and the gate of Lu's mansion was crowded with people, and it was extremely lively.
When Lu Guanxuan saw this, he was shocked at first, and then he was surprised.
His daughter is so popular among the people. This honor is something that many people may not be able to achieve even if they plan for several lifetimes.
He also benefited from it.
The Lu Mansion had not prepared so many seats in advance. Luo Guanlan was a businessman and had a quick mind. He suggested setting up a buffet at the door. Since the mansion did not have time to prepare the wine and food, they could order them from a nearby restaurant.
Lu Guanxuan came back to his senses and immediately ordered someone to do it.
These people who come to add to the makeup are all guests. It is absolutely unreasonable for the Lu family to just accept gifts without entertaining guests. What's more, this is also a very good opportunity to win people's hearts.
Looking at the wedding banquet that was countless times more lively than she had expected, Fang once again felt a sense of frustration as if a mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat.
The same was true for Lu Yingxi. Compared with this wedding banquet, her previous wedding was simply a disgrace.
But why? Lu Zhiran is clearly a second-time bride, so how can she get all this?
The mother and daughter couldn't understand it and were filled with resentment.
Lu Juncheng's eyes were bright, and his admiration and respect were almost overflowing.
He is very proud to have such an older sister!
When Lu Zhiran learned what was happening outside, her heart began to ripple uncontrollably.
When she did all that, she never thought about getting anything in return.
And today, what they did gave her the greatest encouragement.
They let her know that everything she did was always appreciated by them.
Everything she did had meaning.
