Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 319 Makeup
As the day of getting married approached, Haoyu was also very busy.The prince is getting married, which of the officials in the court can't send some congratulatory gifts to the prince?All of a sudden, the prince's mansion came and went, all the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court, relatives of the clan and nobles.Originally, Haoyu didn't want to accept gifts, but felt that the world was initially settled, and many places needed money.But Chu Xuyao ​​agreed to accept the gift. He said, "Haoyu, accept what should be accepted. If you don't accept it, these officials will think that you are going to deal with them? The gift is accepted, what do you want?" You can do whatever you want. Besides, the people have been exempted from taxes for three years, which is enough for them to recuperate. After three years, don’t we also discuss that we want to cut taxes in half? Some things can’t be rushed , if you are too hasty, it will be bad."

After listening to his father's words, Haoyu agreed to accept the gift. He handed over these matters to the Lin family brothers.The gifts sent by every official are all registered and recorded, and no omissions are allowed.

On the fifth day of October, the palace sent someone to bring Yuxian the red wedding dress and the phoenix crown and Xiapei for her marriage.This phoenix crown is woven with gold silk, and there are six dragons and three phoenixes on it. The difference from the queen is that the number of dragons and phoenixes is different.The dragon on the phoenix crown is piled and welded with gold wire, which is hollowed out, and the phoenix is ​​pasted with kingfisher feathers, which are brightly colored.The mouths of both dragons and phoenixes contain strings of beads, but the ones in the mouths of the phoenixes are slightly shorter than those in the mouths of the dragons.On the entire phoenix crown, countless pearls and precious stones are inlaid, and the golden dragon, emerald phoenix, and jewels complement each other, and the room is filled with splendor and magnificence.

Looking at the phoenix crown, Yuxian couldn't help but feel a little headache. This guy is made of gold thread, and it's not light when you hold it in your hand.If you wear it on your head for a day when you get married, won't your neck be broken? "Mother, can this phoenix crown be done without wearing it?"

Fang glared at Yu Xian, "Just talk nonsense, do you think that this phoenix crown can be worn by ordinary people? Except married women, only brides can wear it. You think I don't know what you think, don't you just dislike it? Is it too heavy? Which bride didn’t come here like this? Go ask your little aunt, your sister-in-law, aren’t they all the same? Why, you have to change when it comes to you, right?”

Yuxian was scolded, she stuck out her tongue quietly, and had no choice but to accept her fate. "Okay, then take it with you."

Xiaotong and the others on the side all laughed, "Little sister, I found that you are a bit abnormal these days, and your words and actions are different from the past. What woman doesn't want to be married, with a beautiful Fengguanxiapei? Alright, put on this phoenix crown quickly, let us have a look." Saying that, several women stepped forward to help Yuxian put on the phoenix crown. "Oh, it's so beautiful. Our Yuxian is already pretty, but with this phoenix crown, it's even more gorgeous. It's a pity that I can't try on this wedding dress, otherwise I have to let you wear it for us to see."

Yuehan also smiled, "What's the matter, today is the fifth day, can't you see it on the eighth day? Our Yuxian must be the most beautiful bride."

The Fang family asked people to put the wedding dress and Fengguan Xiapei in Yuxian's yard, and store them properly without any mistakes.The servant next to him hurriedly carried the box and sent it to Yuxian's courtyard.

Fang looked at Ruoxue, and smiled, "Ruoxue, you don't have to be envious, I have already prepared it, and the phoenix coronet and Xiapei you used when you got married will be delivered to the mansion after a while That's it. It's only like this once in a woman's life, mother must let you have a good time." Fang felt sorry for these two daughters-in-law, so she wanted to give them the best.

Ruoxue and Qingyu both blushed. During these days in Tong Mansion, they really felt the warmth of home, which they had always yearned for. "Thank you, mother." The two said in unison.Mengxin and Lewen were brought into the mansion by Bilian a few days ago, and Bilian also wanted to get closer to her daughters-in-law, so naturally they couldn't let them stay at Tong's house all the time.

Ruoxue and Qingyu no longer live in Yuxian's yard, and Fang found another yard.Xiaotong saw that Yuxian was a little abnormal these days, so she dragged Yuehan to Yuxian's yard together. "Yuxian, tell my sister-in-law, what's the matter with you these days? I always feel that something is wrong with you?"

Yuxian leaned against Xiaotong, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, I'm in a panic now, I don't know what's wrong."

Xiaotong stretched out her hand to help Yuxian straighten her hair, and then said lovingly, "You, do you miss Haoyu? You have been together since you were young, and you have never been separated for too long, maybe it was longer last year. At that time, you were also like this, lacking energy all day long. It’s an old rule that men and women don’t meet before marriage. In the past few days, Renren has passed. Haoyu is also busy, otherwise, he might have come here a long time ago. How can he be a person who abides by the rules? I still remember when Junwei got married, Haoyu Lai stayed at home and went to find you in the middle of the night. Today is the fifth day of the lunar new year. In two days, you You will be able to see Haoyu. Don’t think about it, take good care of yourself, be the most beautiful bride, and then you will be fascinated by Haoyu.” Xiaotong and Yuxian have spent the longest time together, and they are not like sisters-in-law. Rather like sisters.

Yuehan next to her also said, "When a woman is about to get married, she will always feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, and I was the same at that time. Yuxian, you don't like to be restrained. It's difficult for you to be confined at home these days. Yes. When you get married, go out for a stroll and let Haoyu accompany you. Even if you live in a village in the suburbs of Beijing for a few days, you will be fine."

Yuxian also understands that she is probably what people call a premarital phobia.Marrying for the first time in two lifetimes, how can I not feel a little bit in my heart?Besides, she has been outside all these years, her heart has become wild, and she can't take it back for a while.What she has always longed for is to gallop across the rivers and lakes, to be happy with kindness and hatred.But in the future, I am afraid that I will have to be deeply trapped in the palace and sit in a sad city, so I will be listless.Forget it, don't think about it, you will get used to it slowly. "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, thank you both, I'm fine, I'll be fine in a few days."

Xiaotong and Yuehan saw that Yuxian seemed to be getting better, so they left.The family is very busy, and the two of them have children, so they don't have much free time.

The two sister-in-laws left, and Yuxian was lying on the kang alone, tossing and turning, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Mrs. Wu, Bilian, and Xuehui all came. They didn't want to rush to put on makeup tomorrow, it would be too noisy.So one day in advance, I brought the congratulatory gift for Yuxian.

Bilian gave Yuxian a set of head jewelry inlaid with black pearls. The black pearls are the size of longan, which is very rare.In addition, there is an ivory sculpture of Avalokitesvara, which is exquisitely carved. Avalokitesvara smiles gently and kindly, holding a little boy in her arms, and the boy's expression is very lively. "Yuxian, my aunt wishes you to have a precious son soon, just like your mother, and give birth to a few more boys." Bi Lian also had good intentions.This Yuxian is married to the royal family, it is best to have more sons, so as to avoid troubles in the future.

Xuehui gave Yuxian a set of jade bowls carved from jasper, from big to small, there were more than ten sets.There are exquisite patterns on each of them, the jasper is transparent and flawless, it should be carved out of a whole piece of jade.

Wu Shi also asked someone to bring out the congratulatory gift she gave to Yuxian. It was a pair of jade bi, but they were not the same size, but double ring bi, that is, a small one was set in the middle of the big one.These two pieces of jade biscuits fit together tightly, the lines on them matched perfectly, they were actually carved directly from the same piece of jade. "Grandmother wishes that you and Haoyu are like this pair of jade biscuits, a perfect match, a perfect harmony, and harmony." This is an elder's expectation for the younger generation.

"Yuxian thanked grandma, aunt, and aunt." Yuxian naturally understood the wishes of the elders, and sat beside her with a smile.She was in good spirits today, and she figured it out last night. Life is an adventure.Even if she was outside all the time, how could she come completely according to her own will?Accompanied by Haoyu, I believe that this court life may not be boring.

Xiaotong and the others at the side were relieved to see Yuxian like this. "Yuxian, you've been listless all day, what's the matter? Your grandma came to put on makeup for you today, so you're invigorated? You're a money fan. Yuehan, I think we can also add makeup today, let this money fan take care of himself Please be happy." Xiaotong teased Yuxian.

Yuehan nodded, "Okay, I'll ask them to bring the things. Anyway, it's for makeup, and today it's my own family, so it's even better." Saying that, she ordered the people around her to go back to the house and get the things she had prepared earlier. Bring something.

Ruoxue and Qingyu were on the side, and Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhang were also there. As soon as they heard that they were going to add makeup today, they all hurried back and brought all the things they had prepared.In addition, Chuntao and the others knew about it, and they all came over to add makeup to Yuxian.

Xiaotong first took out her own gift, which was a pair of white jade Ruyis, the pair of Ruyis were relatively large, and there were hundreds of cute little dolls in different shapes carved on the Ruyis.Naturally, the implication is self-evident, they all think that Yuxian can have more sons.

What Yue Han sent was a set of cups carved from rhino horns, nine in total, all of which were engraved with flower patterns of various colors, in different shapes, simple and elegant.

Both Ruoxue and Qingyu gave them head and face jewelry, Ruoxue gave a set inlaid with rubies, and Qingyu gave a set inlaid with opals.

Zhou's and Zhang's Chuntao Chunmei and the others mostly gave jewelry, necklaces, bracelets, gold hairpins, step shakers, etc., and they were all good styles.Everything is the blessing of these relatives to Yuxian.

When Fang saw what Zhou and Zhang had sent, she kept saying that they had spent a lot of money.This piece of jewelry is also worth some silver. "Look, it's good if you can come, why do you give such a good jewelry, our farmer's family, this piece of jewelry can't last for half a year?"
