C45 (1/2)

The wedding was set to be held on the eighth day of the second month, so Xie Jingxi had to get up and make preparations before dawn. However, Gu Yun was worried that she wouldn't be able to hold on much longer, so he set the auspicious hour so that she could sleep a little longer.

Xie Jingxi's hometown had never had a young lady's presence, so she was not used to being surrounded by a maid. Furthermore, Lady Xu did not put too much thought into it, so when it came to using others, she was really short on money.

Gu Yun had already sent his servant into the Xie Clan since last night, so he had taken care of all of the preparations. He only waited for Xie Jingxi to get up and put on makeup, he had specially invited a servant girl to specially dress up her face, and specifically instructed her to do what she liked. Xie Jingxi naturally did not like things that were too complicated, so the work she had to do was greatly reduced.

When the sky was about to brighten, Xie Jingxi got up and helped her wash her face and rinse her mouth before leaving her to do nothing. She only stayed by Xie Jingxi's side, while the servants in charge of preparing her makeup and hair waited at the side.

”This girl's skin is so good. It's so tender, you don't even need to put too much paste on her.”

This caused Xie Jingxi's old face to turn completely red, ”Actually, I've never really liked dressing up with clothes on my face. It's fine if you have fewer layers, or if you can't even breathe.”

”This is really my first time seeing a lady like this.” The maid laughed happily, ”Normally, a lady would be happy to put on more layers for fear that her makeup would be too thin and not be able to suppress the value of her clothes. However, Eldest Young Master specifically told me to follow your wishes and to do my best to satisfy you.”

Xie Jingxi nodded her head, but no matter how simple the bride's makeup was, it had to be thick, and under the whole set of makeup, even Xie Jingxi would not be able to recognize the person in the mirror.

”Lady, you're so beautiful!”

As a dedicated staff member, Ming Yu was only in charge of judging all sorts of things about Xie Jingxi, ”Look at this, I don't know how this big sister could be so skillful, I couldn't tell that she had smeared it with powder, and her face, was both beautiful and unique.”

Xie Jingxi giggled, ”Then I'll have to trouble this lady to put on some makeup for Ming Yu, and let her dress up for a bit as well.”

”Is this young lady for real?!” Ming Yu was so happy that she almost jumped up, ”I, I'll be troubling this sister.”

Ming Yu was also an idle person, so Xie Jingxi let her be happy before she went to her room to change her clothes. Xie Jingxi obtained a total of three sets of wedding sets. One set was naturally prepared by the Old Madem for her, one set was given to her by Gu Yun, and the other was given to her by Shen Huanzhi.

Xie Jingxi did not know what she was feeling in her heart, but Shen Huanzhi wanted to represent his family and make it special for her. But no matter what, she could not wear it, so she asked her people to put it away properly.

Gu Yun had figured out her preferences, and followed her habits to lighten the weight of his bridal veil as much as possible. But even so, his attire still carried a lot of weight.

It was still early in the morning, so after Xie Jingxi finished dressing up, she went to Old Madem's room. Xie Cen and Xie Jingyu were both there, and both Auntie Xue and Sixth Miss were present.

The one who was the most reluctant was the Old Madem, but the Old Madem did not cry, afraid that it would cause the entire family to cry, he only held Xie Jingxi's hand and said: ”On a day of great happiness, let's not talk about any difference, we are not far from each other, you can just come back.”

Xie Jingxi, on the other hand, did not manage to hold it in. As tears fell from her eyes, Xie Cen also sighed emotionally, ”Girl, since your grandmother is not tearful, then bear with it. As for your mother, you better not blame her.

It was probably because after experiencing so many things, Xie Cen also felt somewhat guilty towards Xie Jingxi. After all, the matter of Lady Xu taking back her dowry had really given Xie Jingxi a lot of face.

In fact, Xie Jingxi did not really care about the dowry in Lady Xu. It was good that Lady Xu had broken the mother and daughter duo's last bit of friendship, so that they would not have to study together in the future. But even though Lady Xu took away the majority of the dowry, as long as she took more, Gu Yun gave her another two. In addition, Xie Cen decided to add a portion of Gu Yun's betrothal gift, so not only did Xie Jingxi's dowry not decrease, it was even more than enough.

Just as the family was discussing, a supervisor outside replied, ”Old Madem, master, Prince Jin's Wife has added a few boxes of dowry for the young lady and sent people over, but did not bring anyone in, instead we just followed the young lady.”

”The Prince Jin's Wife's dowry?” Xie Cen was extremely shocked, this was not only a matter of adding dowry, it was also giving face to the Xie Clan, so how could a few young misses have such treatment?

The few boxes of dowry that Prince Jin's Wife had were placed outside the gates of the mansion, they looked extremely dignified, and those who saw it couldn't help but be impressed, that the grand ceremony that the was in was really going to suppress the princess.
