Cousin Salted Fish Dressed as a Heroine

Chapter 43: Support from Uncle ([-])

"Uncle, where are we going?"

Zhang Jiao gazed at the retreating scenery outside the window, but it didn't look like the way back to the middle of the mountain.

Nordin looked sideways at her, "Go to uncle's place. I'm going to hold a grand banquet tonight. Honey, will you attend with me tonight?"

Zhang Jiao was a little reluctant. Attending a banquet was not fun at all, and she was very restrained. She didn't like that kind of false and polite conversation.

Noting saw her tightening her lips and not speaking, so he understood what she was thinking.But he had an ulterior motive for hosting this banquet.

"Just this once, okay, Elena?"

He could no longer accept that Elena was being wronged in a place he could not see. Elena was unwilling to follow him back to Country Y, so he could only find a way to let everyone know her and the energy behind her, and dare not hurt her.

"Elena, you don't know how panicked I was when I heard someone hurt you. I was so scared that I was suffocating. Don't let me be so scared anymore, okay?"

God knows how fast his heart beat after receiving the call.At that time, he regretted extremely, why he followed Elena's idea and didn't lead her to the public.

If outsiders knew Elena's identity, would they have some scruples before taking action?

With this in mind, Nordin planned the banquet.

Nordin looked at Elena pleadingly, hoping that she would agree to her will.

When Zhang Jiao caught his sight, he turned his head quickly as if being burned by the flames.

She was struggling in her heart, and her uncle's begging eyes appeared in her mind for a while, and the low-key leisure life flashed for a while, and finally she nodded tremblingly, "I see, uncle. I will be with you tonight."

She likes a low-key and undisturbed salted fish life, but she can compromise once for her uncle.

Nordin smiled easily, "That's great, Elena, you are destined to be a dazzling little princess tonight!"

Zhang Jiao smiled and nodded, she was just her uncle's little princess.

Nordin had already purchased a property in Hong Kong City, near Zhang Jiao's Repulse Bay mansion.Last night, he took the ship from the Repulse Bay Pier to the Repulse Bay Villa directly.

The banquet to be held today will also be held in his villa.

Before Nordin arrived in the port city, he had already sent invitations via telegram to all the prominent people in the port city, and all preparations were in place.

At this moment, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

As long as the important people appear on stage, everything will go as smoothly as Nordin expected.

Zhang Jiao sat in her room upstairs, quietly watching the makeup artist decorate her face with a brush.

Layer after layer, it's like pasting a wall.Zhang Jiao felt as if a stiff mask had been put on her face, making it hard to breathe.

This work continued for a while before the makeup artist finally stopped, but the process was not over.

The dressmaker pushed rows of hangers full of gowns and came in from the door. Zhang Jiao casually raised her eyes and saw the gowns parked behind her in the mirror.

My eyes suddenly widened, Oh my God!What did she see!
Loads of tutus!

It almost made her dream back to the day she attended the Gu family's engagement party. Wasn't Gu Yao wearing a similar tutu?

She also gave Gu Yao a nickname, "Miss Puff Skirt."

Zhang Jiao opened her mouth, and it took her a long time to find her voice, "Who chose these? Why are they all tutu skirts? Is there no other choice?"

Zhang Jiao actually knew whose idea it was, but she still struggled a bit.

Sure enough, the costumer replied, "It's Mr. Nordin."

Zhang Jiao repeated her question, "Are there any other options?" Isn't there a simpler one?Zhang Jiao really doesn't want to wear a tutu.

Because the puff skirts at this time are a bit cumbersome, most of them need to wear panniers, or wear countless layers of inner lining, which is really tiring.

It's like wearing a layer of shackles.

The costume designer bit his lips in difficulty, "I'm sorry, miss. When Mr. Nordin stated, he only asked for a tutu skirt, and other styles..."

Zhang Jiao understood, but didn't bring anything else.

The scene was stalemate for a while.

At this time, Mrs. Anne, the housekeeper of the family, came in holding a red velvet box.

"What's the matter? Honey."

Mrs. Anne put the velvet box on the dressing table and asked Zhang Jiao gently.

"Mrs. Anne, do you know? Uncle actually arranged a bunch of tutu skirts for me!"

Yes again!

This is not the first time, since her childhood, my uncle has always been keen to dress up his dear niece in tutus.

But this rebellious niece is too lazy to appreciate the beauty of tutus.

I have some resistance to this kind of clothing.

Mrs. Anne waved her hand knowingly, and asked the makeup artist and costume artist to go out.

Then he turned around and held up Zhang Jiao's delicate little face, "My dear, don't be angry, Mr. Nordin just doesn't understand your thoughts. He thinks that ladies and ladies in this world like this kind of skirt!"

"You can tell him what you think, so that he won't continue to do this kind of thing that bothers you. But now, can I ask the beautiful Miss Elena to make up for it for a while?"

Of course Zhang Jiao understands this truth, she was just a little unhappy for a moment.She nodded, "I understand, Mrs. Anne."

Forget it, just this time!

When you meet your uncle later, you must tell him not to prepare such complicated tutu skirts for her in the future.

Seeing that she had figured it out, Lady Anne smiled and opened the velvet box she had brought. "Dear Miss Elena, look!"

She held the box and sent it to Zhang Jiao.

The moment Zhang Jiao saw it clearly, she was captured by the exquisite and luxurious crown inside.

"My God! It's so beautiful!"

Lying in the box is a crown of roses surrounded by several vines, inlaid with countless diamonds, and a blue diamond is dotted in the middle as the main stone.

"For the sake of such a beautiful flower crown, please forgive your somewhat egotistical uncle."

Lady Anne put the crown on Zhang Jiao's head, held her shoulders and turned her towards the mirror, "Look, what a beautiful lady!"

"This is the blue diamond that Mr. Notting bought in the summer. He said he would use it to make you the most magnificent crown and make you the happiest princess."

Zhang Jiao smiled brightly in the mirror, and my uncle always had a way to make her happy.

She said: "Then let's choose a blue tutu to match it!"

Mrs. Anne smiled gently and fixed the corolla for her, "Of course that would be the best."

She walked to the clothes rack, her eyes passed over the exquisite dresses, and finally took out a navy blue sweetheart-neck tutu.

"How about this one?" Mrs. Anne asked Zhang Jiao's opinion.

Zhang Jiao looked back and made a decision, "Let's just do it, it's pretty." The most important thing is that it doesn't have so many layers.

Her small thoughts were revealed in her eyes, and Mrs. Anne nodded with a smile, not to expose her disguise.

"Then let's put on our petticoats first!"

Zhang Jiao wailed in her heart, but couldn't help comforting herself, come on, everything is for beauty!

Just for one night, she could do it, it was OK!

With Lady Anne's help, she put on her corset and petticoat, and then she had to put on a heavy bustle, and finally she could wear the beautiful navy blue tutu.

After putting everything on, Zhang Jiao felt that she had gained more than ten kilograms in an instant.

Lady Anne couldn't help laughing, "My dear, this is already an improved model. You must know that the bustles worn by ladies in the past were much heavier than this."

Zhang Jiao nodded heavily, so the progress of the times is in all aspects.

It is convenient for them who come later.

"Boom——" Someone knocked on the door.

He was probably reminding them that it was time to go downstairs.

Mrs. Anne turned her head and looked at Zhang Jiao, "Dear Miss Elena, are you ready?"

The person outside the door is Nordin.

He knocked on the door twice before saying loudly, "Elena, are you ready? The guests have arrived."

Zhang Jiao looked at Mrs. Anne in confusion, and nodded subconsciously in her approving eyes.

Lady Anne was amused by her lovely appearance.

Only then did Zhang Jiao wake up under Mrs. Anne's teasing eyes and replied loudly, "Uncle, I'm fine. I'll come out right now."

Lady Anne stepped forward and opened the door for her.

Zhang Jiao just met her uncle's admiring eyes straightly, she smiled and lifted her skirt and walked towards him.
