Afterwards, the two people took turns to soak in a comfortable grapefruit bath. Just as they put on their wedding robes, they heard the noise of people and footsteps coming from outside the room. They knew that the auspicious hour was coming, and the villagers came to watch the ceremony.
Lin Siyao went out of the bedroom to greet the people.
Su Shuiche buttoned up the wedding robe, tied the wedding belt, and sat on the round stool in front of the dressing table. She carefully tidied up her shiny black hair and delicate white cheeks without any makeup.
"Yo, girl, what are you waiting for? Hurry up, the auspicious hour doesn't wait for anyone." Aunt Tian opened the bedroom curtain and urged with a smile.
"Aunt Tian …." Facing the straightforward Aunt Tian, Su Shuiche was really speechless.
"Hehe, I'm joking, I'm just joking. Come, Aunt Tian will help you tie up your hair.
It's said that when a daughter gets married, her long hair must be tied up by her maternal family.
Today, Aunt Tian, I'll take a small advantage. "Aunt Tian said while taking the fragrant wooden comb from Su Shuiche's hand and helped Su Shuiche to tie up her hair.
"Aunt Tian, how old is your daughter this year?" Su Shuiche saw the situation and let her do as she pleased.
Indeed, there was no maternal family around her who could help her tie up her hair, and she didn't think that she could calmly tie up her waist-length hair in such a hurried situation.
"My daughter, after the New Year, will be fourteen.
When her father was working in Qingtian Town, through the introduction of the main family, the neighboring family's son proposed marriage. However, the age difference between the two is four years. It's estimated that they will get married at the end of the next year. "
Aunt Tian carefully helped Su Shuiche tie up her hair, and then inserted a hairpin and a string of beads. At the same time, she straightforwardly talked about her daughter, Su Shuiche.
"Qingtian Town?
How far is it from our Blossom Town? "Su Shuiche curiously asked.
After leaving Dashi Mountain, if it wasn't Fanluo City, then it was Blossom Town. She hadn't been to other places, so it was impossible not to be curious.
Perhaps, when she was free next time, she could ask Ah Yao to take her around.
"It's not far. Turn northeast after leaving the village. It's about six miles away. It's much closer than going to the city … Alright, daughter, take a look. Are you satisfied?" Auntie Tian clapped her hands to indicate that she had succeeded. She gestured for Su Shuiyong to look at the bronze mirror.
Su Shui Yong really did not have the ability to see through the bronze mirror here. No matter how she looked at it, she could only see a rough outline.
But it was such a mirror that Aunt Lao and the other women praised it for a long time.
It would be good enough if they had a palm-sized dressing mirror in their room.
"Thank you, Aunt Tian, this is very good."
"You little girl, no wonder your family's Ah Yao dotes on you so much. You're really a good girl." Aunt Tian once again couldn't help but tease Su Shuiche when she mentioned Lin Siyao.
Nowadays, every woman and daughter-in-law in Flower Town praised Lin Siyao. Even if some of them didn't say it out loud, they were secretly envious of Su Shuiyao. It was really a blessing that she had cultivated in her previous life to have a man who would take care of everything for her.
Thinking of her daughter, who was also well-behaved and sensible, Aunt Tian couldn't help but hope that her future son-in-law would treat her better. Not to mention that he would dote on her as much as Lin Siyao, it would be enough if he could respect her opinion on big and small matters.
Su Shuiche once again blushed at Aunt Tian's words.
Very good, she didn't need to put on rouge.
However, since it was a wedding, she had to put on makeup no matter what.
Although, if she directly applied the rouge and powder here on her face, not only would it not reflect a woman's enchanting beauty, but it would also add a heavy tackiness.
Thus, Su Shuiche recalled the scene of the maidservants making rouge and powder for her in the past. She used her fingertips to gently pick up some thick, dark red rouge and evenly applied it to her lips. Then she pursed her lips, and the bright red rouge seemed to merge with the color of her lips.
After thinking about it, she picked up some more rouge and gently spread it into the water box, turning it into a faint crimson color. She dipped it in, mixed it with the rouge, and gently applied it to her face. She used her index finger to gently rub her cheeks until the red makeup on both sides of her cheeks blended with her originally white and soft skin.
"Wow!
So this is how you put on makeup.
Haha, I've really learned something today. "
Aunt Tian was entranced. When she saw Su Shuiche quickly adjust the originally thick and tacky rouge into the light and translucent gorgeous color, she couldn't help but clap her hands in admiration, attracting the attention of the women outside the bedroom who were chatting while waiting for the auspicious time to arrive.
"Ah, it really is a fairy descending to the mortal world." The Shui Family's woman, Xia-shi, also stopped eating melon seeds and sincerely praised.
"That's right, our Blossom Town also has such a smart and outstanding daughter-in-law. The next time I return to Luoshui Town, I have to properly slap that Fang Family's woman's face." The Shi Family's woman, He Family, was from Luoshui Town.
There was a neighbor's daughter-in-law, Luo Shi, who loved to dress up. She would often self-righteously boast that she was the most beautiful in the nearby towns.
Well, although Madam He was unwilling, she had to admit that her daughter-in-law's appearance was indeed one in a hundred. However, that was only limited to the past.
In the future, with Su Shuiche, let's see if that woman would still dare to boast shamelessly that she was the most beautiful in a radius of dozens of li.
Another day, she must take Su Shuiche to Luoshui Town for a walk. Hmph, she must ruthlessly file that woman's arrogance.
"Okay, the auspicious time is almost here. Hurry up and put on the veil."
Aunt Lao entered the room from the outside. When she saw that the women were still surrounding Su Shuiche and chatting, she anxiously urged them to get ready.
"This girl's embroidery skills are really amazing!"
The He Family's woman took Su Shuiche's bridal veil and couldn't help but stroke the exquisite and smart pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water on it. She praised endlessly.
"The embroidery that even Younger Sister-in-law He praised. We, ah, have no place to put our old faces."
Aunt Tian looked at the vivid picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the bridal veil and clicked her tongue in praise. Then, she began to tease the He Family's woman.
"Younger Sister-in-law Tian, next time, don't talk about my embroidery skills. If it gets out, people will say that I have no face."
When Mrs. Lin heard Aunt Tian teasing her like this, an obvious blush appeared on her face. She did feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Since marrying into Flower Town for more than ten years, what other women and daughters-in-law admired the most was her excellent embroidery skills.
Now, although Su Shuiche hadn't taken on embroidery work with great fanfare, just the embroidery on the two people's casual clothes and the embroidery on the bridal veil, bridal gown, and bridal veil of the new bride were so exquisite and smart. It was enough to show that her embroidery skills were far beyond her own.
In the future, her only specialty would be covered up.
She didn't know if the embroidery house would only take on Su Shuiche's embroidery work from now on. Then, wouldn't her business be cut off?
Mrs. Lin was lost in thought. The other women didn't notice the little thoughts in her heart. They just urged Su Shuiche to put on the bridal veil and waited for Lin Siyao to come in and take her to the main room to perform the wedding ceremony.
… …
The main room was now crowded with people.
The villagers who came to watch the ceremony crowded the main room, which originally looked spacious, until their feet almost touched the ground.
Not only did the neighbors of the nine households who were invited to the wedding wine come, but many other residents of Flower Town also came to join in the fun.
This was especially true for the Hua family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Previously, they had heard the Tian family's woman praise the house more than once. Now that they saw Su Shuiyong and her husband getting married, they followed the crowd and quickly came to take a look.
In their hearts, they hoped that the Tian Family's woman was exaggerating the truth.
However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked around the house several times. Their hearts were filled with thousands of feelings and hundreds of envy.
Look at the furniture, how stylish and comfortable it was. Look at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, how refreshing and elegant it was.
Tsk tsk … …
"Aunt Hua, Sister-in-law Hua, my mother said to invite you to the main room. The auspicious hour is coming."
The Lao Family's daughter, Lao Xicui, ran over while gasping for breath. Following her mother's instructions, she brought the Hua Family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were studying the latrine in the front courtyard's west pavilion, to the main room.
According to Aunt Lao's original words, there were many people in the main room, so it would be difficult for them to crash.
If they didn't see it, who knew what kind of shameful things the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would do.
In fact, the Hua Family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a lot of criminal records. Wherever they went, they had to keep their valuables close.
If they weren't careful, it was very likely that they would be fooled by the stingy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"That, Xi Cui, the main room can't fit anymore. It's good for us to stay here.
Hehe … "The Hua Family's mother-in-law, Liu Shi, smiled until her old face wrinkled. She waved her hand, indicating that Xi Cui should go back and not worry about them.
Xi Cui pouted awkwardly. She didn't dare to disobey her mother's orders, and she couldn't refute Aunt Hua's smiling face. Just as she was thinking about how to persuade them, she heard a "wuwuwu" sound. Then, two white figures flashed in front of her eyes. She heard the Hua Family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wailing.
Looking carefully, it turned out to be the two big dogs that were guarding the door in the rear courtyard. At this time, they were biting the Hua Family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's lapels and dragging them to the main room.
"Aiyo … Dogs, be good. Let us go first, okay?"
Liu Shi flattered the two wolf pups. She didn't care if they understood or not. She only hoped that they would loosen their lapels first.
"That, mother, are they going to drag us to the main room?"
The Hua Family's daughter-in-law, Fang Shi, saw that the big dogs didn't show any signs of biting or hurting her. She turned her head and asked her mother-in-law, who was also being dragged by the big dogs.
"Eh?"
Hearing this, the Hua Family's daughter-in-law also noticed the two big dogs' actions. She flattered the two wolf pups and said, "Hehe, dogs, let us go first. We'll go by ourselves. We'll go to the main room to watch the ceremony …"
The two wolf pups seemed to understand her words. Sure enough, they loosened their lapels and took two steps back. Step by step, they stared at the two of them as they walked towards the main room.
Seeing this, Lao Xicui happily patted the two wolf pups' heads and secretly praised them for being amazing.
As for the Hua Family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement. What kind of breed were these big dogs that were so intelligent?
Looking at these two, one seemed to be a male and the other a female. Maybe they should wait until they give birth to a pup and ask Su Shuiche for one.
And if the two wolf pups could read minds, they would definitely gnash their teeth and want to tear the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law apart. We're brother and sister, brother and sister, okay?
If you have the ability, go find your brother and give birth to a pup!
