Eldest daughter

Chapter 241 Gold and Silver Add Makeup
On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, it is auspicious and suitable for marriage. Before dawn, Wang's family lit up the lights and started to get busy.

Wang Chun'er was dug up from the bed by Wang Yuan'er, she was so sleepy that she didn't know what happened, it took a long time to realize that she was going to get married today, and the sleepy bug ran away all of a sudden.

Following Mrs. Wang's emissary, bathing, changing clothes, hair-tying, etc. were all done, and Quanfu who came to put on Wang Chun'er's makeup also came, and Mrs. Zheng was invited.

Mrs. Zheng's family background is above average, she has both children, husband and wife are harmonious, and her parents-in-law are also kind, so Wang Yuan'er invited her to come. Aunt Tie Zhu is also acceptable, but Mrs. Zheng is more suitable.

The sky is getting dark, East House.

Wang Chun'er was dressed in red and sat upright in front of the dressing table, with long black hair hanging down, looking at herself in the bronze mirror without blinking.

In the room, many people crowded, including Wang Yuan'er himself, watching Mrs. Zheng help Wang Chun'er comb her hair with a comb.

"One comb to the end, two combs until the white hair is as tall as the eyebrows, three combs until the children and grandchildren are everywhere..."

The festive and auspicious words spit out from Mrs. Zheng's mouth. Wang Yuan'er watched from the side, her eye circles gradually turning red.

After combing and combing the hair, he picked up the silk thread and twisted the noodles again, and spit out the same auspicious words in a row, which made people never tire of hearing it.

"My second sister is getting married today, she was so happy that she cried!" Wang Qing'er saw that Wang Chun'er was about to burst into tears, and couldn't help joking.

Wang Chun'er cast a glance at her, and spat, "I'm in pain, and you'll know how it feels in the future."

It hurts when the silk thread is twisted on the human face, but every bride has to go through this process, and even the pain has to be endured.

When the sky was bright, this side was twisted, the Wang sisters' skins followed their mother's, fair and rosy, this face twisted, Wang Chun'er's already fair face became smoother, as if water could be squeezed out.

"This is the most beautiful moment in the girl's house!" Mrs. Zheng gave her a compliment, and then took the face cream to put on her makeup.

"Ms. Zheng, please be gentle. Don't put too much powder on it. The white layer will scare my brother-in-law. I can't even kiss anymore, and it's not beautiful." Said something strangely.

The bridal makeup is really not good-looking. There is a layer of white powder, as if you don’t need money. The whole person doesn’t look like before. There are too many powder puffs. When you move it, it falls like snow. is ugly.

Everyone laughed.

Mrs. Wang reprimanded lightly: "This girl, how do you talk, why are you scared? Whose bride is not so powdered? Mrs. Zheng, don't worry about her, just be yours."

Wang Chun'er also blushed and pursed her lips into a smile.

"Chun'er's skin is fair, her foundation is good, she doesn't need too much powder to look good." Mrs. Zheng said with a smile.

Mrs. Wang nodded.

At this time, someone yelled from outside: "Oh, it's grandma and aunt who are here."

Wang Yuaner was overjoyed when he heard that, and Wang Chuner wanted to stand up too.

Mrs. Zheng held her down: "Don't move, you are the bride, so you don't need to greet her."

Wang Chun'er had no choice but to suppress her excitement, sat on a chair, and looked at the bronze mirror eagerly.

Wang Yuan'er had already gone out to greet her, and upon seeing it, it was really her grandmother and the others, as well as her cousins.

"Grandma, aunt, I'm looking forward to you." Wang Yuan'er was excited and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up."

"How can it be? We set off in the middle of the night. If there wasn't a banquet yesterday, we should have come yesterday." Mrs. Liang said with a smile.

The granddaughter is getting married, and as a grandmother, she will definitely be there, but they also have a happy event there, so they have to come here before dawn.

"Mother-in-law, I'm looking forward to you at last, hurry up and sit in the room!" Mrs. Wang also came up to meet them, and looked behind them: "Where are your father-in-law and uncle in-law?"

"Father also has official business today, so I can't come. Uncle Yuan'er is tying the carriage outside!" Auntie explained with a smile.

"I'm Chun'er?" Mrs. Liang couldn't wait to go to Wang Chuner's place.

Mrs. Wang naturally led her there, while Wang Yuan'er waited for his uncle to enter, saluted him, and led him to the main room to talk to Old Wang's second uncle and the others before going to the east room.

In the east room, Wang Chun'er had already put on her make-up, and she was tearfully holding Granny Liang's hand and acting coquettishly.

Granny Liang also had red eye circles, she turned her back and wiped the corners of her eyes, then patted her hand and said, "Good boy, don't cry, today is your good day!"

"That's right, this makeup looks good on Quanfuren, but don't cry, it won't look good!" My aunt also said with a smile, her eyes were slightly red.

Wang Chun'er's bridal makeup was described by Wang Qing'er, and it didn't fall to the point of powder all over her face, which was much better than other bridal makeups.

After some conversation and tea, more and more people from the Wang family came to sit and work.

Quite a few people came to add makeup at this time, and they were all neighbors, and they added some ordinary objects, such as needlework, or cloth, just to make them feel auspicious.

Wang Chun'er's dowry was also placed in the house, or on the porch outside the east house, pasted with red paper, everyone could see it, and everyone would praise it.

The Wang family is not a wealthy family, but they have managed to put together such a beautiful dowry, which is real and decent enough.

Only then did Mrs. Liang take out the make-up she had prepared for her granddaughter. It was a pair of thick silver bracelets, and when Wang Chun'er wore them, everyone envied her.

Wang Yuan'er took the opportunity to glance at her aunt, and saw that she was smiling, and she didn't show any jealousy or dissatisfaction, so she couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

"I don't have mother and money, so I made a hairpin." My aunt took out a silver hairpin and stuck it in Wang Chun'er's bun. It looked like it was quite heavy.

"Thank you, auntie." Wang Chun'er blushed.

And the cousin also gave her a heart-to-heart knot tied by herself, which means one heart and one mind, good luck.

Wang Chun'er couldn't help but send some souvenirs back to the girl's house, and she also thought about it. It was also a handkerchief embroidered by herself. The embroidery was very delicate and beautiful.

"Grandmother and aunt have all put on makeup, and grandma's is also for us to see." Mrs. Zheng smiled and joked.

Mrs. Zhang looked over immediately.

Then Mrs. Wang took out a cloth-wrapped item from her sleeve, and opened it layer by layer, revealing the item inside. It was also a silver bracelet, not as new as Mrs. Liang's, but it was quite heavy.

"If you marry into the Hou family today, you will be the wife of the Hou family. From now on, you must respect and respect your husband, avoid disputes, and manage the family in a prudent manner." Mrs. Wang taught with her lips pursed, and put the bracelet into Wang Chun'er's hand.

"Thank you grandma."

Zhang's mouth was so red with jealousy, she had known for a long time that the old woman had a bracelet that weighed only a few cents, but she had never seen her wear it, and thought she had secretly given it to Liang, but who would have thought that it would only be given now.

"Mother is so generous to her granddaughter. In the future, when Fuquan asks for a daughter-in-law, we can't miss this tea ceremony." Mrs. Zhang said sourly.

Everyone listened to her and glanced at her.

Mrs. Wang said with a blank expression, "As long as Fuquan is obedient and not angry, the daughter-in-law I'm asking for is a good and filial one, and she's indispensable."

Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, mother. In the future, I will find you a good granddaughter-in-law to honor you."

Mrs. Wang snorted softly.

"Her aunt, her niece is getting married today, so what good things have you prepared to add makeup?" The aunt looked at Mrs. Zhang with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang's smiling face froze, and she said, "I don't have money like you. How can I have any good things?" As he spoke, he shyly took out a red seal from his sleeve and stuffed it into Wang Chun'er's hand, saying : "Having nothing is better than having silver, so I'll just add money to the bottom of the box."

She stuffed it quickly, and covered Wang Chun'er's hand again, but everyone could see how big Wang Chun'er's hand was, it could be closed with one hand, and the amount of silver in it was self-evident.

Everyone looked at her with contempt, and Mrs. Wang gave her a look, which was really embarrassing.

She could feel the red seal in Wang Chun'er's hand, it was thin, but she was always gentle and didn't mind, so she just said thank you.

All the makeup that should have been added, Wang Qing'er also gave a silver ring, Xiao Lan'er gave her embroidered handkerchief, only Wang Yuan'er was left.

Wang Yuan'er had been prepared for a long time. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he took out an exquisite box and opened it.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Inside the box is a pair of glittering gold dragon and phoenix bracelets. The body of the bracelet is not very thick, but it is gold, and it is a dragon and phoenix bracelet. The meaning is better than anything else.

For a family like them, a silver bracelet is already a great dowry. Who would accompany a gold bracelet? A pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets.

Wang Chun'er was also shocked. She already knew that the elder sister was going to add makeup to her, but she didn't know that it was a pair of golden dragon and phoenix bracelets.

"Big sister..." Tears flickered in Wang Chun'er's eyes.

Wang Yuan'er smiled, put the table on her hands, and said with a smile: "Sister, I wish you a happy wedding and a happy life."

"Sister, this is too precious." Wang Chun'er said with tears in her eyes.

"It's not expensive, we Chun'er deserve the best." Wang Yuan'er also had tears in his eyes, but smiled on his face.

"Okay, okay, our Chun'er has all the gold and silver here, so we don't have to worry about food and drink." Mrs. Liang wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, clapped her hands and laughed.

"That's right, there are gold and silver, so you don't have to worry about eating and drinking." Mrs. Zheng also joked.

Everyone echoed one after another, and kept saying good things.

Only Mrs. Zhang, looking at the pair of gold bracelets in Wang Chuner's hands, felt very glaring. Isn't it just marrying a daughter, not a daughter-in-law? Does it need such expensive makeup?
Gold bracelets, when Min'er married into the Tang family, she didn't have any gold bracelets, and now she doesn't know how to live in dire straits, how can a girl like Wang Chun'er have such a good time.

Thinking of Wang Min'er, Zhang's heart was so sore that tears would come to her eyes.

"The groom is here to pick up the bride, hurry up and block the door to pick up the red envelopes!" Outside, someone shouted, followed by a burst of firecrackers.

"Go, go pick up the red envelopes and be happy!" Someone walked out with a smile.
