Chapter 3380: Adding Makeup >

ted!"Oh dear, height is a major disadvantage. If I had known earlier, I would have stood on a stool..."She smiled wryly.Luo Fengtang smiled, then bent down.Her sleeve finally lightly touched his foreh...In Yang Huazhong's backyard, Sun, accompanied by a group of women who came to help, was busily preparing the midday banquet for the celebration.

In the front yard, Yang Huazhong was welcoming guests with the men of the Lao Yang family. Lao Yangtou and Lao Suntou were accompanying several village elders who were enjoying soft snacks, smoking dry tobacco pipes, drinking tea, and chatting.

Yang Yongjin and Baozhu Yuzhu gathered around Dalian, discussing how to go to the Sun's house across the street to pick up the bride later.

Although Huang Mao was raised by Yang Hua and Sun Shi like a daughter, she now lives with Xiao Jie in the same room at her grandmother's house because she is married to Da An.

> Until today, the day of great joy, she will be sent from the Sun family to her new home.

The Sun family.

Little Jie's room was packed with women and children who had come to see the commotion.

Originally, Quanfu was planning to ask Bao Suyun to do it. However, Bao Suyun was pregnant. Not only could she not come and take on this tiring task, but she couldn't even meet the bride.

Because of the local customs here, when a bride gets married, she will wear a special bronze mirror on her body.

A bronze mirror was hung on one side of the chest and the other on the back, it was said to ward off evil spirits on the way to get married.

>

Since it's a copper mirror capable of warding off evil, it must have some power. Pregnant women shouldn't be exposed to its reflection, or else their unborn children may have an unpleasant appearance in the future, becoming misshapen and disfigured.

These old traditions, no one goes to investigate their origins, nor does anyone seek to verify their evidence. They are all passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth from the older generations.

When Liu gave birth to Kang, who had a cleft lip, Tan would often scold her, saying that when Liu was pregnant with Kang, not only did she go to every household in their village but also those in neighboring villages whenever someone got married or had a daughter-in-law.

Kangkang was so ashamed after seeing his reflection in the copper mirror that he started acting like this.

So, for safety's sake, Bao Suyun and Xiaoqin, who was also pregnant, didn't dare to come and see the bride. They would have to wait until the bride formally paid her respects to the ancestors and entered the bridal chamber before they dared to remove the bronze mirror and go pay their respects with festive cakes.

So this time, the person who did Xiaohua's makeup for her wedding was Yuzhi, a woman with both sons and daughters.

Yuzhi, with her nimble hands, styled Xiaohua's hair into a stylish bun, adorning it with silk flowers in vibrant hues that she took from her vanity box.

A thread was used to pluck the fluff from Xiao Hua's face, also known as "opening the face."

Next comes makeup.

Little Flower shyly said: "Sister Yu Zhu, just apply a little for me. Brother Da An likes plain and elegant looks, he doesn't like heavy makeup."

Before Jade Branch could even speak, the other gossiping women around chimed in with teasing remarks: "Oh my, look at that! Even before the ceremony, she's already so concerned about what men think..."

Someone else chimed in, "Men are heaven and women are earth. What's more, Little Flower's man is a champion scholar, doing great things outside. It's a good thing that Little Flower cares about Big An's thoughts, it shows she's a good wife..."

The woman who had teased Xiaohua earlier didn't mean any harm; she was just being playful and teasing, as country women often do. Everyone took it lightly.

Here, Yu Zhi gave Xiao Hua a reassuring smile and said, “Relax. You’re young and pretty, you don’t need anything too extravagant.”

"I'll just put some blush on your cheeks, and some lipstick. Nothing else." Yuzhi said.

Little Flower blushed and nodded gently.

>

Seeing her flushed cheeks, Jade Branch thought to herself, "She doesn't even need blush. Hehe..."

When the sound of firecrackers came from Yang Huazhong's house, everyone knew that the wedding procession had arrived. On this side, Yuzhi had already dressed Xiaohua up neatly and prettily, covering her head with a veil and sitting in a large bamboo basket woven on the floor of the boudoir. The bottom was covered with glutinous rice and red dates, peanuts, and other things.

Then, the women came up in turn to add makeup and said auspicious words.

Guihua, Dayun, Liu Shi, Yang Huamei, Wang Cuilian, Xiaohuan and the others.

There was also a woman, named Cui'er Niang.

Ever since Da'an went back to Sunjiaogou two days ago to burn incense and pay respects at his grandmother's grave, the people of Sunjiaogou realized that the storm in the imperial court was not only over, but Yang Jia's son-in-law, Luofengtang, had become the General Protector of the Country, and Da'an himself had entered the Hanlin Academy. The entire family had now achieved both civil and military high positions.

Therefore, today Da'an and Xiaohua got married. Cui'er's family of three, as well as several relatives from Sunjiaogou who had come with five sets of mourning clothes, came over last night to offer congratulations.

Now it's Cui'er's turn to put on makeup.

It's surprising that Cuier's dowry for her wedding makeup was more elaborate than everyone else's. Others only gave 40, 60, or 80 wen each—it's mainly about the thoughtfulness.

As for Yang Huazhong's family's wedding banquet, the men from both families also brought gifts. Therefore, the main purpose of the women adding makeup on this side was just a gesture of goodwill, a gift to Xiaohua personally.

When it was Cui'er's turn, well, Cui'er went straight for a silver bracelet.

This silver bracelet, at first glance, looks quite old.

It's estimated to weigh about three to two pounds. Forget about makeup, even as a gift between relatives and friends, sending something this heavy is incredibly close.

For example, the Sun family sent a gift of six taels of silver and an extra pig.

Here's the English translation, preserving HTML tags:

Yang Ruqing gave the most dowry, a full fifty mu of prime farmland, plus one hundred taels of silver as a hidden treasure.

But can Yang Ruoqing's relationship with Dayan compare

Dear siblings!

And at this moment, Cui'er's mother struck with a silver bracelet, knocking down everyone in the room except for Huang Mao. Even Yang Huamei, Da An's aunt, was defeated.

Everyone was astonished, their eyes fixed on Cuier's mother as if she were a completely new person.

Everyone was secretly astonished. Didn't they say that the Sunjia溝 area was poor How could this Cui'er's mother be so generous

And as the flower girl, holding in her hand a heavy silver bracelet still warm from being worn, she was also extremely surprised.

“Auntie, this bracelet is too valuable, I can’t accept it.”

When her head cleared, Xiaohua immediately returned the bracelet to Cuier's mother.

"This bracelet was given to me by my mother when I got married. It was a treasured heirloom, originally meant for Cuier. But now seeing you marry Dahan, Auntie's heart is sweeter than honey," said Cui'er's mother.

"Here's this bracelet for you, it goes really well with your outfit today. Good niece-in-law, take it quickly..."

Cuier's mother came over again to stuff it, but Xiaohua refused.

"Auntie, you gave me the dowry that was supposed to belong to Cuier. What will happen when Cuier gets married later" Xiaohua asked deliberately.

Don't be fooled by Xiao Hua's honest appearance, she has a clever and sharp mind.

Especially in recent years, having been by Yang Ruohua's side all the time, subtly influencing her, she is unlike that silly Sun family member.

So he intentionally asked in front of everyone.

Cuier's mother-in-law always had a loving smile on her face. She said, "Cuier hasn't even gotten married yet! My husband and I are not too old either, we can still keep working and save money for her wedding. Come on, my dear niece, just accept the proposal! If you don't, it means you think poorly of your aunt."
