Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 29
But the more glamorous Xie Ruitong dresses up, the better for her.

Back then Xie Yanniang was also a fool, she picked the best dress to go to the banquet, Mrs. Xie couldn't say anything, she hated herself to death behind her back, Xie Ruitong squeezed herself even more, making her life in Xie's mansion even worse .

If not, how could she take the risk and insist on climbing up someone who shouldn't be?

Xie Yanniang shook her head, not wanting those unbearable past events to haunt her any longer.

Seeing her shaking her head, Mrs. Xie said displeasedly: "Why, Niang Yan thinks your elder sister's body is not good-looking?"

Xie Ruitong looked over with an unfriendly expression on her face. If Xie Yanniang dared to nod her head, what would be done to her in the future would be more than just a basin of footwashing water?

Xie Yanniang met the eyes of the two of them, smiled embarrassedly and said: "Eldest sister is so beautiful, she can wear anything. It's just that this vermilion dress is a bit too wide, and it doesn't show the slender waist of elder sister. It's a pity to call Yan Niang."

This dress is obviously a good item for Mrs. Xie's bottom of the box. The dress is embroidered on both sides, which is generous and extravagant.It is natural to wear it on Mrs. Xie, but Xie Ruitong's stature is thinner than Mrs. Xie's, so the clothes look loose.

Xie Ruitong took a closer look, and then his face eased. It is true that the waist is wider. If it is changed, it will be a waste of this good material: "Mother, I will change again. Yanniang makes sense."

She went in and changed into a pink dress, her face was delicate and lovely, Xie Yanniang praised her again and again, coaxing Xie Ruitong to be full of pride.

Mrs. Xie was still worried, she turned her head and asked her: "Which dress and jewelry did Yanniang plan to choose? Why don't you show me too, so I can have a better look?"

"That's right, my mother often attends the flower banquets in the Yun Mansion, Yanniang let her see, so I won't be rude." Xie Ruitong also chimed in, she didn't want Xie Yanniang to steal her demeanor.

Xie Yanniang agreed obediently, and asked Xueyan to send her a goose-yellow dress, which was simple, only with colorful clouds embroidered on the skirt, and the jewelry was also a standard silver hairpin, not brilliant at all.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xie was relieved.

The next day Xie Yanniang got up early, after Xueyan helped her wash and dress, she saw her girl sitting in front of the bronze mirror and painting her eyebrows, so she smiled knowingly.

Xie Yanniang chose such a plain look yesterday, she was worried that the girl would only be reduced to the background of the young lady at the flower banquet, which is quite a pity.

Looking at it now, my girl is really careful, her clothes and jewelry are not too bright, she offended Mrs. Xie and Xie Ruitong, so she worked hard on her makeup.

When Xueyan left and packed up, she was startled when she saw Xie Yanniang.

"Girl, this is..."

"Does it look good?" Xie Yanniang blinked at her and asked with a smile.

Xueyan was a little puzzled, looked around for a while, and felt that Xie Yanniang was still the same, but after a closer look, she seemed to be a little more ordinary, not as charming as usual.

She knows that makeup can make a woman look more beautiful, and it is the first time she knows that it can make a woman more ugly: "How did you do it, how is it different than usual?"

"This flower banquet, the less spectacular the better. If Mrs. Xie didn't want the second lady to go, and she couldn't let the eldest sister go alone, she wouldn't call me. I'm just the green leaves to set off the red flowers. The uglier the better " Xie Yanniang is very satisfied with her makeup, it seems that her skillful hands have not lost their standard due to rebirth.

Xueyan was ignorant of what she heard, and it was the first time she knew that she had to act ugly to go to the flower banquet, so she couldn't help being anxious: "But, this is the girl's first appearance back in Beijing, how can she find a good husband and son-in-law if she doesn't look good?"

Xie Yanniang smiled self-deprecatingly, and said helplessly: "With my background, if I find an ordinary commoner, it's fine to be a housewife, but it's a pity..."

It's a pity that Mr. Xie only wanted to let his three daughters climb high, so as to add chips to the family fortune of the Xie family, so how could he let Xie Yanniang marry an ordinary person?
