Chapter 181 Gossip
Sun Yun is the legitimate daughter of the minister of the Ministry of War, and the person she wants to marry is the son of a noble prince, so this wedding is naturally grand and grand. Although the Sun family is the woman's family, it is also full of guests and lively.
Jiang Ting said a few words to Mrs. Sun, and then she went busy again. And she stayed and waited for Sun Yun to mend her makeup and talked to her for a while. The woman in charge of combing her hair came. Jiang Ting couldn't stay here any longer, so she went out to meet the girls in the house.
She came here today with a task. By the way, this marriage in the Southern Tang Dynasty is not much different from that in modern times. In modern times, the groom has to pick up the bride and get a red envelope. And the ancient Southern Tang Dynasty was more cruel to the groom. Not only do you have to give red envelopes, but you also have to write poems and write lyrics, and pass the "five customs and six generals" to pick up the bride.
As Sun Yun's good sister, Jiang Ting will naturally come to ask the groom for red envelopes. However, to Jiang Ting's surprise, before she left Sun Yun's yard, she saw Princess Antai running all the way out of breath.
"Princess, why are you here?" Jiang Ting asked in surprise. Today is her brother's marriage. Why doesn't she treat guests at home?
Princess Antai rushed over to help her take a few breaths and said, "I'll be back in a minute. I'll come to see the bride first. I have to see the bride before my brother, haha..."
Jiang Ting couldn't understand her words at all, so she had to take her in to see Sun Yun, who was being "tossed around" by Mrs. Xi.
Princess Antai greeted Sun Yun, said two words, and was kicked out by Mrs. Xi and the girls. Because Sun Yun saw her coming, her eyes turned red again. If she cries and wears makeup again, she has to wash her face again and paint again. Because she has put on too many makeup on her face, and it's not good that the powder puff is too thick.
When she came out, Princess Antai blinked and said, "Will those women make up? How can Yunyun be painted like a puppet doll?
Jiang Ting actually wants to nod and agree with it. However, the girls behind her glanced at the corners of her eyes and smiled, "Maybe we have to get married like this."
Princess Antai shook her head and said, "When I get married, I can't let people turn into this. The powder is too thick, and it's not as good-looking as Yunyun's original skin. No, I have to ask them to wash Yunyun's makeup and repainting it. It's really ugly.
Jiang Ting wanted to hold Princess Antai, but she didn't pull anyone and was dodged by her. Jiang Ting was stunned and washed her heart. It's really not good-looking. So red blush and mouth, like a dummy, it's better to wash it.
Jiang Ting went in and took a look. Princess Antai was already very mobile and found a wet towel and was carefully wiping Sun Yun's face. Mrs. Xi beside her looked at Sun Yun's face with an embarrassed face that had been wiped away little by little. She was anxious to stop her but did not dare to do so. In this way, Jiang Ting felt uncomfortable for her.
That heavy makeup is difficult to paint, but it is quite simple to erase. Although there is no modern makeup remover in this era. But I don't know what Antai asked people to put in the water of washing towels, and Sun Yun's big face was wiped clean.
"It's still so beautiful." Princess Antai nodded with satisfaction and pointed to Mrs. Xi, "Come and paint her again. Don't put so much powder on it, just a little bit. Yunyun's skin is so good... That's right, a little more even blush, less... Well, don't you have to rub your lips red? Then erase it, but don't draw it like just now, a little round, ugly... Oh, Tingting, look, it's much better."
Jiang Ting was very ashamed to hear it. She never knew that Princess Antai, who had always been a big lama, could even wear makeup. However, she also understood that if there were M Mothers teaching these things around her, how could Princess Antai not? After all, these are women's basic skills. Although they are not used at ordinary times, it doesn't mean that they don't.
Seeing that Sun Yun became a "human" again, Princess Antai was immediately reassured. She waved her hand and said, " Yunyun, you clean up first. I'll go back."
Sun Yun looked at the dilemma of finally asking for the puppet doll, and her heart was finally a little empty. She nodded and finally had a smile on her face. Jiang Ting looked at it and understood it. It turned out that the girl didn't like the heavy makeup on her face, so she always had to cry and let people repainting it.
I thought that the puppet doll face was the bride's fixed makeup. Sun Yun couldn't say that she would not wear it, so she had to go to that layer of makeup in disguise. Jiang Ting has reason to believe that when the wedding comes, she will cry again, so that Mrs. Xi will have to wash her face. And now, it seems that it is obviously useless.
Jiang Ting and Princess Antai left Sun Yun's yard together and walked forward. Princess Antai said as she walked, "I have seen the eldest princess and the second princess get married, and they are also painted like puppet dolls. I was afraid that Yunyun would also be painted like this, so I came here to have a look. Fortunately, my brother would have been scared when he lifted the red cover.
Jiang Ting looked at Princess Antai speechlessly. Why didn't she find that this girl liked to worry so much before? Today, the royal palace must be very busy. She must still be in charge of the errands, but she still has to deal with the affairs here. It's really difficult for her.
Jiang Ting was just about to laugh at her, but suddenly heard a voice coming from the front corner. Obviously, there are other girls from other mansions coming to see Sun Yun. Although Sun Yun's really close sisters are only a few. But the Sun family also has other relatives. No matter how indifferent the sister relationship of the relatives is, they will come to have a look on this day.
"...It's been almost a month, and no one has gone to her house to propose marriage. Oh, think about it. She has a bad nature, and there is a stepmother in the family who has a dowry. Who will want her?
"Isn't it? I can't see her cold pride. What's so crazy? Even if her father is a second-class marquis, isn't he still the title of a dead man? In addition, because he has a good relationship with the princess and princess, he ignores people and thinks that he is really noble. As a result, isn't it the same now that no one wants it?"
"Hey, the main reason is that her father won the battle, but now the first battle has not been well, who dares to marry her?"
"That is to say, hey hey...ah!"
Jiang Ting stood still with a cold face, waiting for the three girls on the corner to come over. Even if she didn't name her name, she could hear that the person they were talking about was herself. She was naturally very angry when she heard this. But she also knew that on a day like today, for the sake of Sun Yun, she had to resist and could not quarrel with these ignorant maids.
But she couldn't stand it, but Princess Antai beside her couldn't help it. When she saw the three girls coming out of the corner, she subconsciously wanted to come forward to refute them. But Jiang Ting grabbed her and shook her head.
"Tingting?" Princess Antai looked at Jiang Ting puzzledly and didn't understand why she didn't let herself vent her anger. The three girls in front of us, my father, are all military generals, and they are all military generals who have not been selected to go to the border. There is no need to say that she can understand why they said such unpleasant things about Jiang Ting.
"Princess, let's go. Aren't you in a hurry to go home?" Jiang Ting turned her head and looked at the three people in front of her faintly. The coldness in her eyes made the three little girls dare not move at all. She smiled and said, "The three of you are going to see Yunyun, right?" She is busy combing her hair. Go over there quickly.
The three little girls answered randomly and fled under the strong pressure of Jiang Ting and Princess Antai.
Princess Antai stamped her feet angrily, snorted at the backs of the three little girls, and then asked Jiang Ting, "Tingting, why did you let them go so simply? They haven't apologized to you yet."
Jiang Ting smiled and shook her head and said, "They just talked about it in private, and they didn't say anything in front of me to apologize? Besides, what day is it today? How can I quarrel with them?
Princess Antai understood in a blink of an eye, but still snorted angrily, "I really don't understand what face they have to talk about others? Their fathers are all generals brought out by your grandfather, but now they have become the lackey of the protector..."
"Princess!" Jiang Ting shook her head at her.
Princess Antai waved her hand helplessly and said, "I know, you can't talk about state affairs. Alas, Tingting, you are so charitable that they dare to talk so much.
Jiang Ting curled the corners of her lips: "Where do you think I am for charity? Listen to what they said. I'm proud to have you and the princess's support. Come on, let's go to the front. You have to go back quickly. Your house must be very busy.
Princess Antai looked at Jiang Ting and nodded. She wanted to say something, but she closed her mouth again.
Jiang Ting looked at her doubtfully and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Princess Antai said hesitantly, "Well, my father said that victory or defeat is a common thing in the military family... Besides, your father's first game is not defeated. Although the place was not recovered, the enemy casualties were even greater. Moreover, it's just a small battle, with a total of more than 1,000 casualties..."
Jiang Ting smiled and said, "I know. You don't have to persuade me about this. I'm relieved. Uncle Zhao and Uncle Tian are by my father's side. They will definitely become more and more brave in the future! Besides, how can we have invincible reason for 100,000 soldiers in the Southern Tang Dynasty? I don't care what those girls said just now. Really, they just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.
"Well, I'm relieved if you can think about it." Princess Antai really smiled and said, "by the way, please show mercy later. Although my eldest brother originally learned poetry well, he was thrown into the barracks by his father for three years. I don't know if he still remembers it. He is surrounded by anti-Japanese people, and poetry can't help much in this regard..."
With that, Jiang Ting interrupted An Tai's endless words with a smile: "Ok, how can you worry so much? If you don't go back, it's time to meet your brother. Why don't you just wait for the prince and go back with the welcoming team.
"That won't work!" Princess Antai also smiled: "Well, I have to go back quickly. Let's talk next time. Next time, Yunyun will be my sister-in-law! Haha..."
