Chapter Nine Hundred and Twenty-Nine: Adding Makeup

time, they had managed not to lose their lives here after all.The men in the village, all who were able-bodied, sat around the fire outside, seemingly resting. In reality, they each had an axe at thei...The sudden appearance of a woman on the throne, such a unique spectacle, naturally sparks curiosity and envy among everyone.

Abe's martial arts skills are not highly proficient, but he is very good at reading people and his bearing is also quite good. When interacting with others, he is not difficult to get along with.

Likewise, the two young ladies, Coral and Linlang, were not neglected either. Accompanied by Mrs. Wen, they chatted about everyday matters and smiled like flowers blooming...

Time always flies when we're having fun. In the blink of an eye, it's the day before Jia Yi and Liu Yang's wedding.

According to tradition, this day is when female relatives and friends help the bride with her makeup.

Of course, Yue's family had clansmen and Yue Xianwei's business associates come to show their support. It was a bustling scene with people coming and going.

To one's surprise, the small courtyard where Coral was staying wasn't deserted.

Dr. Sun had served in the army for many years, and he had saved the lives of thousands of people.

Now he has acknowledged his adopted daughter, and his son-in-law is still Li's family.

Some people who truly appreciated him came with their wives and children to show their support for Coral.

Of course, some also had ulterior motives, hoping to cultivate a good relationship with the future General Li's wife, expecting a return on their investment later.

Even the women who had worked together with Coral in the field hospital, pooled their money to buy a pair of gilded hairpins and send them as a gift.

However, due to the disparity in status among the guests, they felt quite restrained.

The coral didn't neglect them, specially asking Mrs. Mi to entertain them, serving white clouds' egg tarts as snacks.

The women were astonished. They had thought that since Coral was marrying into a wealthy family, she would ignore their friendship in adversity, but they were surprised by such warm treatment.

Of course, they still couldn't bear to eat the egg tarts they were allotted, and they still wrapped them in handkerchiefs to take back to their children.

The excuse was readily available; take it back and let the children share in the joy.

At this time, another honored guest was led to the backyard.

It wasn't someone else, but Tang's Wenyu girl.

Coral also came over unexpectedly, smiling and greeting her, "Miss Wenyu, why are you here Is there something that made Grandma have to make a trip"

"How could I possibly miss it!" Tang Wenyu, wearing a veil, chuckled and lifted the light gauze, revealing a face as white and full as a full moon. She replied, "Sister Coral is getting married, how could I not come to celebrate"

After saying that, she added, "I just went to Sister Linglang's place earlier. Don't be upset, Sister Coral, it's just that Sister Linglang's place is closer to our home."

"How is this possible!" Linlang pulled her hand and sat down, smiling. "I'm so happy you could come."

Tang Wenyu took a box from the maidservant's hand and handed it to Shanhu, "Sister, don't say I'm partial."

"I went shopping earlier and saw two sets of exquisite red gold headpieces, so I bought them both. Today I'm giving you and Sister Linlang one set each. Wishing you both a blossoming future together, may your love last for a hundred years!"

It's customary for a bride to be happy to accept makeup on her wedding day, as it is considered auspicious.

Moreover, Tang Wenyu was a kind girl, and Coral enjoyed socializing with her.

So, Coral readily accepted it and sincerely thanked him, which made Tang Wenyu's eyes crinkle with a smile.

The women working in the military camp were all surprised to hear that Tang Wenyu was the granddaughter of General Tang Lao. They couldn't help but glance at her a few extra times.

Tang Wenyu was not embarrassed at all, and nodded politely to them.

After a few more words, she refused Coral's invitation to stay for dinner and took her maidservant home.

When the camp's wives saw her leave, they finally dared to start gossiping.

"My, General Tang's granddaughter is truly beautiful and well-mannered."

"Yes, she's not like those rich ladies who act as if their eyes are growing out of their foreheads!"

"Such a good girl, I wonder if she's been betrothed yet"

"You're not even betrothed, what else can you do A woman of such status will surely marry into a wealthy and powerful family."

Coral sent the guest back, hearing this, she couldn't help but smile faintly.

If nothing unexpected happens, Tang Wenyu will surely be her sister-in-law in the future.

After all, such a good girl, ordinary women would like her, and the Li family would definitely like her too…

As expected, in the evening, after the Li family had finished their meal, they sat together chatting.

Tang Wenyù's business of putting makeup on Línláng and Shānhú was told by Cháng Māmāmā, who went to Shānhú's place to help.

Li Laotai was increasingly satisfied, and asked Tao Hongying, "Hongying, what do you think of this girl"

Tao Hongying actually felt it was pretty good, but she had spent years by the old woman's side and had a unique daughter. While she hadn't learned much else, respecting her children's opinions was something she had mastered.

So, she nodded and said, "I think she's alright. After seeing her a few times, this girl doesn't seem like a troublemaker."

But this matter still needs to be asked of Jia'an. After all, she is the wife he will spend his life with, and he has to like it.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Jia An.

Jia An couldn't help but blush, coughed twice, and replied straightforwardly, "Miss Wen Yu is kind and generous. I believe she will get along well with my mother and sister."

"The only thing is, she's from the Tang family. Could our families ever possibly arrange a marriage I don't know the pros and cons."

Grandma Li felt she hadn't done anything wrong; otherwise, she wouldn't have tried to match her grandson with Tang Wenyu. However, at this moment, out of caution, she still asked her eldest son.

"Zen Sheng, what do you think"

Li Zhensheng had thought about this many times over the past few days. He was hesitant to speak too clearly because there were too many people in the house, so he replied, "Mother, I also think that an alliance with the Tang family is not necessarily a bad thing."

After all, since Jia Yi and Liu Yang will be based in the Hailan Army in the future, Jia Xi will have to frequently travel between Jinfu Kingdom and Tianwu. Quanzhou is also a must-pass location.

The Tang family will become our in-laws from now on, so they will naturally take good care of our family.

"Furthermore, when the Duke and the fourth son retire from their posts and return home, staying here for a few years to escape the turmoil of the new capital would be ideal."

Everyone nodded and felt more at ease.

"Only then did Old Madam Li pat Jia An's back and said with a smile, 'Boy, these few days I'll let your uncle write letters to the Marquis and your second uncle. If they also think it's alright, grandma will go and propose for you.'"

Jia An's ears were a little red, but she still nodded.

If it were a good sound here, it would definitely shout and protest for its brother.

After all, Big Brother and Wan'er were love at first sight, Second Brother and Wenjuan were deeply in love, and as for Jiaxi and Aibi, they were companions through thick and thin.

To have settled on Miss Tang's hand so simply, was too fast.

But in Tianwu, marriage has always been arranged by parents and matchmakers. Many people only see their lifelong partners on their wedding day.

Having met each other personally, Jiā'ān is well acquainted with Tang Wényù's character and disposition. Moreover, both families approve of them, which is already quite remarkable...

In the Xin Du Imperial Palace, lanterns had been hung throughout the various palaces.

In the side hall of Zhi Lan Palace, a faint sweetness lingered in the courtyard from the day's freshly baked pastries.

The maidservants and eunuchs, who were busy fetching water, talked about the jam-filled biscuits they had received during the day with glee.

Since the arrival of County Princess Kangle, Zhilan Palace has been bustling with activity.

These lowly servants' lives were better now. They were no longer beaten or scolded, and occasionally, the princess of Kang Le might come up with something new and interesting, and they could benefit from it too.

At this time, Shui Ling rushed in from outside and accidentally kicked over the water bucket in the hands of a little palace maid. She didn't even have time to speak and rushed directly into the bedroom... humble, it was kept very clean. It belonged to a strong-willed person."The most important thing is that I was taught manners from a young age by my grandmother. I always speak and act properly.""Oh,...
