Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 368 Wedding Banquet

After breakfast on the second day, Chen Afu started to prepare.

In this dynasty, when newlyweds got married, they had the noon meal at the bride's house, and the dinner at the groom's house. Some guests go to the groom's house in the afternoon, and the groom also takes the bride into her husband's house in the afternoon.

Because Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu have a special relationship with the Fu family, they will go early to support them. Looking at the dowry in the morning, having a banquet at noon, watching the wedding party and the bride in the afternoon, and having the wedding banquet in the evening, the day is full of arrangements.

Chen Afu doesn't like to be in the limelight, and he doesn't like to make friends with noble ladies. But when she became Chu Lingxuan's wife, she had to integrate into that circle, even if she didn't like it. She knew that many people in the aristocratic circle liked to talk about her dual identities of "illegitimate daughter" and "country girl". This was her first time to participate in a social event in public, and she had to dress up beautifully to silence those people. .

But seeing her round face and big belly in the mirror, the "beautiful and refined" thing she wanted most was impossible.

At this time, you should not wear long or short jackets, as this will make your belly look bigger and make you fatter. She picked through the cabinet for a while, but still only wore the dress she prepared yesterday.

A hazy pink satin double-breasted jacket, just below the belly, and a bright red jacquard skirt. She also wore a translucent light-colored silk scarf to cover her belly.

In the middle of her head, she wore a large golden hairpin with flying phoenix and bead inlaid, with a jade begonia begonia flower inserted on each side. She also wore a jade inlaid hairpin to wipe her forehead, and a pair of green and translucent jade bracelets on her wrists.

This time, the makeup was done to suit the aesthetics of this era, and was a bit more colorful.

Although this body is only seventeen years old, it appears to be more mature than its actual age due to pregnancy. She already has picturesque features, so dressed up like this, she is noble but not fussy, as gorgeous as a begonia flower blooming in the spring sun.

The dress has been scented with green leaf agarwood all night. The fragrance is light, beautiful and long. Although it is now the end of summer, the weather is still relatively hot. This aroma surrounds you, making you even more refreshed.

At the same time, today is also the time to "rectify" Miss Chu's name. Chu Hanyan, the eldest daughter of Chu Lingxuan, the eldest son of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, is smart, gentle, demure, and lovable. She is not the "slut" that others say.

Her clothes were brought to the main courtyard by Mother Song for her to wear.

The little girl wore a light-colored silk crocheted short jacket with a cross-collar collar, an aqua soft satin long skirt with a wide skirt, and a belt tied around the chest with a large princess-colored bow. Only a few green-calyx plum blossoms are embroidered on the neckline and cuffs. The style is simple, unique and beautiful.

Then, he gave her a small Ruyi Rabbit bag across her body. The whole bag is a rabbit head, with long ears, round eyes, a small red three-petal mouth, and a bow on one ear. The bag contained a few candies and a handkerchief.

This is a series of dolls and bags designed by Chen Afu for Nishang Embroidery Studio. While decorating the little girl, it also allows the little girl to advertise in the upper class society.

A small emerald fan-shaped hairpin and a few small pearl flowers were inserted on the head of the bag.

Finally, Chen Afu put a little rouge on the little girl's eyebrows.

After dressing up, the little girl looked in the mirror and she was so beautiful. Biting her lip again, Nuo Nuo asked, "Mother, did you bite your lip and make it as red as rouge?"

The little girl who loves beauty wants to put on rouge, but her mother won't let her. She seemed to have heard some girl say that biting her lips would make them red, so she thought about biting her lips.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Yeah, my daughter knows how to love beauty. Biting your lips can indeed make your lips redder, but it's best not to bite them. It's easy to bite your lips and bite your mouth. It doesn't look good. In case someone sees it, How ugly. Yan'er is very, very beautiful now and doesn't need to make her lips red anymore."

The little girl listened and stopped thinking about her lips.

Chu Lingxuan was extremely satisfied when he saw such a mother and daughter.

At this time, Chu Lingxuan, Chen Afu, and Chu Hanyan set off.

Little Li Xuan took Animal House to go boating in the lake, so no one stopped him. Dabao knew that they were going to a wedding banquet today, but he knew that studying was more important than having a wedding banquet. Even though he wanted to go very much, he did not make this request.

When they arrived at the General Military Mansion, Chu Lingxuan led his entourage carrying gifts through the main entrance to the front yard, while Chen Afu, mother and daughter waited for their female relatives to enter the corner gate, and then went to the inner courtyard in a sedan chair.

They were led directly to the flower hall, where Mrs. Fu was leading her eldest daughter-in-law, Grandma Fu, to greet the guests.

When Chen Afu and her daughter walked in, they couldn't help but attract attention. They were so eye-catching. Many people stopped talking and looked at them.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Fu family came up to her with a smile. Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "Oh, Mrs. Chu is so lucky. She is pregnant with twins right away."

A lady who was nearly thirty years old came over and joked, "Mrs. Fu is a good matchmaker." She then smiled at Chen Afu and said, "Mrs. Chu doesn't know me yet. My surname is Qin, and my name is Qin Jian." Chen Afu listened. As mentioned in Qin Jian, Ren Cong, a fourth-grade city gate leader, had a very good relationship with Chu Lingxuan, a life-long friendship.

Chen Afu quickly smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mrs. Qin. I often hear my uncle talk about General Qin."

When Mrs. Qin heard about it, her smile deepened.

Then, several women really praised Chu Hanyan.

Chu Hanyan was a little scared, but with her mother by her side, she still bowed to the elders very politely.

Chen Afu was helped by Grandma Fu to greet Mrs. Fu who was sitting in the seat. Mrs. Fu smiled and asked Chen Afu to sit down. She also called Miss Chu, who had been holding Chen Afu, to her side and gave her a greeting gift.

Those who can sit next to Mrs. Fu are all older or higher-status ladies. Chen Afu is not very old, but she is the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an and the third-rank general's wife. Her status here is not the highest, but it is not the lowest. She is pregnant, so she also has a seat.

Grandma Fu helped her introduce the lady here. There are the wives of the commander-in-chief and the wives of the deputy generals who have made a special trip from the capital, and there are the wives of the general soldiers and the wives of the generals who have come from the provincial capital, etc. These belong to the families of military generals. There are also Mrs. Yin of Shuntian Prefecture from the capital, Mrs. Salt Transport Shi from the provincial capital, Mrs. Shizhou Prefecture, etc. These are the family members of civil servants.

Now, in ancient times, there were no cars like in the previous life, and it took more than an hour to travel two to three hundred miles. It takes a day's boat ride or nearly two days' carriage ride here, but so many ladies can come from afar, which shows how much respect the Fu family has.

They are all elders, at least in their thirties or forties, and there are even two in their fifties. Chen Afu, who was the youngest and the youngest, stood up and blessed them all.

These people also include Mrs. He, the wife of Deputy General He, and Jiang.

People like Mrs. Qin who are not too old and not of high grade will sit aside or in a side room very wisely.
