Chapter 695 Plucking? !
Time passed, and the day came when the eldest son of Prince Rong and the eldest daughter of Duke Liu were getting married.
Early in the morning, the two houses became lively.
At Prince Rong's Mansion, the princess was dressed in new clothes and delivered her final speech to the main person in charge.
"...Everyone, please be alert. There are many guests today. You must perform your duties and make sure nothing goes wrong. Do you hear everyone clearly?"
The stewards wearing exactly the same clothes were in high spirits, "It's clear!"
The princess raised her hand and said, "Okay, let's go to work..."
"Yes." The stewards dispersed and started working on their own.
Prince Rong did not go to the military camp today and stayed at the palace to take charge of the overall situation.
The son is also his, and he cannot afford to leave everything to the princess.
The princess looked at the prince with tender and sweet eyes, "I wonder if the emperor will come today?"
“Both the emperor’s brother and the prince will come.” Prince Rong said, “I’d like to get married, and they won’t fail to come.”
So there will be no shortage of guests today.
The princess smiled and said: "Then it must be very lively today. I hope it goes well."
The majestic prince patted the princess's hand and said comfortingly: "No one dares to make trouble in the prince's palace, especially on the prince's happy event."
“You and your son have exactly the same confidence.” The princess couldn’t help laughing.
The prince shrugged, "Of course my son will follow me."
…
The prince's palace is busy, and the Duke of Liu's palace is not idle either.
The busiest place is Ronganyuan.
Early in the morning, Shen Nian was picked up from the bed by Li Xiuniang and others.
The little girl sat sleepily, letting others toss her around, until the down on her face was pulled out and stung.
…
Li Xiuniang was startled by the voice. She patted Shen Nian's head and said, "You kid, you scared your mother."
Shen Nian covered her face and stared at the rope on the hand of Grandma Kai. Her face was full of vigilance, "I hurt, what is this, plucking hair?!"
Everyone present laughed.
Sister Rou was so happy, "It's not plucking hair, it's opening the face. Every girl who gets married has to go through this."
“But it hurts so much.” Shen Nian said resentfully.
"It only hurts for a moment, and it won't hurt after a while. When you open the face, your face will be white and tender, and you'll like it even if you touch it." Li Xiuniang comforted her in a good voice.
Meng Shi nodded, "Yes, it only hurts a little bit. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Rou'er, right, Sister Rou'er?"
Shen Rou: "Well, just be patient."
“Okay, come on.” Shen Nian turned away and raised his face.
Mammy opened her face and smiled slightly, and continued to wave the rope in her hand.
There is no reason why it won’t hurt when the fuzz on your face is shaved off.
Princess Rongan grimaced in pain, but she still showed off her strength. Except for the unprepared hiss before, she didn't cry out again.
After a while, Grandma stopped and said, "Okay."
Shen Nian breathed a sigh of relief visibly and reached out to touch his face, "It seems to be really slippery."
Sister Jing came up to touch her, "Sister Niannian, let me touch you."
Before she could make a move, Shen Rou held her back and said, "Don't touch her with your dirty hands. Sister Nian should dress up."
As soon as she finished speaking, the dresser specially invited by Liu Guogong came.
What came in was a young woman with exquisite make-up, followed by several girls, all with beautiful faces and beautifully combed buns.
“I’ve met Princess Rongan.”
Shen Nian: "Get up."
The woman led the people forward and opened the boxes they brought. There were bottles and cans inside, looking very professional.
Li Xiuniang and others have not seen it and can't help. They all sit nearby and watch. Meng whispered to Li Xiuniang, "Rich families are different. They even have people who specialize in dressing up."
“Who says it’s not the case? It’s not like our farmers. We can go out with our hair neatly combed.” Li Xiuniang said with emotion, she has really learned a lot since she came here.
It's good to learn a lesson, there are still two girls in the family who are not married. When Sister Jing and Meiying get married, they will not be in chaos.
The two heads of household stared at the hands of the woman dressing.
Aware of their gaze, the woman's movements slowed down.
Shen Nian felt even worse, and his eyes softened a lot when he looked at these people.
Those who are willing to give some face to her family, she is also willing to give some face in return.
Even if a group of people slowed down, Shen Nian's bun was already combed.
The more noble the person, the more important the phoenix crown. The woman who was dressing up did not put it on Shen Nian for the time being, and chose to put on her makeup first.
"It's not the matchmaker makeup with red cheeks, right?" Shen Nian asked worriedly.
The woman with exquisite makeup was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said: "Of course not, Princess, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you."
Shen Nian looked up at her and found that the makeup on her face was extremely elegant, which just magnified her advantages and made her beautiful.
"Okay, then you do it." Shen Nian simply closed his eyes and let her do what she wanted.
If it’s too weird, the worst thing is to wash it off, it will take a long time anyway.
Things go up layer by layer on the face.
Shen Nian was about to fall asleep when he heard the word "Okay".
She opened her eyes.
Wen Ping and others came over carrying a mirror as tall as one person.
Shen Nian saw himself in the mirror...
The eyebrows and eyes are still hers, but they look more refined, and the whole face feels like bulingbuling.
Happy.
The light shines brightly.
“Not bad!” Shen Nian nodded with satisfaction, “Reward.”
Nothing is as important as a compliment from a nobleman. The dresser smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Princess."
Salute and step aside for now.
As soon as they left, Shen Nian stood up and approached Li Xiuniang and others with a arrogant smile, "Mom, uncle, what do you think of this makeup? Does it look good?"
“Good-looking, good-looking, look at how beautiful you are.” Li Xiuniang said with a smile.
“I am beautiful!” Shen Nian said immodestly.
Li Xiuniang couldn't help but smile, "Stop being so pretty, it's time for you to change into your wedding clothes."
Shen Nian didn't waste any time and obediently went to the inner room to change into wedding clothes.
Shen Meiying and Sister Jing followed closely to help.
This was the first time the two of them saw Shen Nian's wedding clothes, and their eyes widened.
“What a beautiful wedding dress!!” Sister Jing said, covering her mouth.
Shen Meiying also watched intently, "It's very beautiful! Is this the craftsmanship of the embroiderer in the palace? The embroidery work is so good..."
"Yes, palace craftsmanship." Shen Nian said with a smile, "But the style and pattern were painted by Xiao Jinzhi. When you two get married, I will prepare wedding clothes for you, but you have to decide the pattern yourself."
Sister Jing really liked it and was not polite to her cousin. She happily said: "Okay, thank you Sister Niannian."
"Thank you for anything. My dear sister, you don't need to say thank you." Shen Nian changed into wedding clothes under the service of the maid. When he saw Sister Rou'er, he said, "It's a pity that Sister Rou'er is already married, so I don't have your share."
Sister Rou pursed her lips and smiled softly, "It's okay, I didn't catch up, there is still Yinyin."
Shen Meiying interjected: "Yinyin has her biological father. I'm afraid it won't be Sister Nian's turn."
Shen Nian nodded, "That makes sense."
Sister Rou thought of her husband and daughter as slaves, and shook her head, "Your brother-in-law can't bear to hear people talk about Yin Yin getting married, let alone preparing wedding clothes..."
