Chapter 357 Haircut Ceremony
Li Xiuniang's eyes were shaken, and her heart overflowed with pride.
When he saw the little girl wiping the corners of her eyes in a heroic manner, she immediately calmed down her emotions and said: "You can be verbose as long as you want, get up quickly!"
Then, he handed her the clothes and shoes placed on the bedside, "...I'm almost worn out, get dressed quickly, or I'll put them on for you!"
As he spoke, he pretended to help her change.
"No, I'll do it myself." As he spoke, Shen Nian began to change clothes.
Seeing that she was not ashamed at all, Li Xiuniang took off her clothes as soon as she asked. She didn't know what expression to make.
Sighing in his heart, he bent down and helped his daughter tidy up the bed.
Dai Viet attaches great importance to haircut etiquette, especially girls from wealthy families, who have to change their clothes several times.
Shen Nian is not as good as a girl from a wealthy family, so she naturally has no shortage of clothes.
Xiao Zhi had people make it, Princess Rong sent it, Duke Liu’s mansion sent it, and he made it himself...
The styles and colors are not repeated, and the jewelry is even carefully matched.
The thoughtful ones are not unnecessary.
The one she put on first was given by Prince Xiao.
"This dress looks good!" Li Xiuniang looked at her daughter who had changed her clothes, her face full of surprise.
I saw that the little girl was wearing a jade-pink high-waisted skirt, with thousands of blue silk hairs hanging down to her waist...
With black hair and fair skin, red lips and white teeth, and starry eyes, she has a breathtaking beauty.
Li Xiuniang felt suddenly. It was at this moment that she truly realized that the little girl they had raised like jewels was really old enough to talk about marriage.
It's a pity that Sister Nian's marriage will be left to the Liu family, and they may not be able to talk to each other.
Fortunately, the people in the Liu family were pretty good, otherwise even if she risked her life, she would not let the daughter she raised recognize her.
Shen Nian didn't know that Li Xiuniang's mood was ups and downs. Hearing her mother's praise, she smiled brightly, "Xiao Jinzhi drew the picture himself and had someone make it for me. He knows what colors look best on me."
Li Xiuniang choked.
...My daughter is too old to keep her.
"...After all, I chose the skirt Mr. Xiao sent me. I really hurt you in vain." The woman pretended to be angry and tapped Shen Nian's forehead, scolding.
"No way." Shen Nian didn't take the blame and explained: "I have to change it today anyway, it doesn't matter which one I put on first. I also like the clothes my mother prepared for me."
After saying that, he flashed his eyes and smiled affectionately, "How about I change into what mom prepared?"
"Why don't you change it? This one looks good." Li Xiuniang refused.
Seeing the little girl's expression, she couldn't laugh or cry, "Bad girl, you're setting a trap for me."
Without waiting for Shen Nian to quibble any more, he pulled Shen Nian to sit down in front of the dressing table.
"Sit down and let me comb your hair."
The long hair you get is soft and smooth, and feels better than the best silk.
As she combed her hair with the wooden comb, Li Xiuniang felt like she was marrying her daughter, and felt a soreness in her nose.
At this moment, there were several knocks on the door.
Shen Nian shouted towards the door: "The door is unlocked, come in."
With a creak, the door opened.
Meng came in with Shen Meiying and several other girls from the Shen family.
"Oh, everything is almost done. We're late." Mrs. Meng said when she saw Sister Nian's hair was almost combed.
He looked at his niece who was shining brightly like the bright moon, and said with admiration, "Sister Nian looks so beautiful today, just like the fairy concubine in that book."
She dared to say that Sister Nian was definitely more impressive than those noble ladies when she appeared like this.
Shen Nian's eyebrows curled up after being praised, and she said sweetly, "My aunt is also pretty."
This is not an exaggeration. Today, everyone in the Shen family is wearing new clothes, jewelry that they don't usually wear, and their faces are smeared with makeup. Anyone who says they come from a wealthy family would believe them.
Especially the three sisters Shen Meiying, Shen Rou and Shen Jing are all of the same age as the flowers. They look as pretty as the flowers when they dress up a little bit. Isn't it nice to look at them.
Meng was coaxed to smile and said, "Sister Nian, your mouth is really sweet. I hope you will be sweet all your life."
"Thank you, auntie." Shen Nian said with a smile.
Shen Meiying realized that she had arrived late and could not help Sister Nian, so she felt a little disappointed. She followed Meng and said, "I wish Sister Nian a lifetime of love, and everything you want will come to you, and all bad things will come to an end." Far away from you, I wish you peace and prosperity, and long-term happiness and worry-free."
She is a girl as innocent as a blank slate, and every word she speaks gives people a particularly sincere and sincere feeling.
A warm smile filled Shen Nian's face, "Thank you, Sister Meiying, we will all get our wish."
As you wish?
Shen Meiying felt that Sister Nian's words, 'We will all get what we wish for' were particularly beautiful, and she nodded seriously, "Yes, we will all get what we wish for."
Meng and Li Xiuniang smiled gently, their eyes full of doting.
Shen Jing pretended to be distressed and sighed, "Oh! You are all so good at talking, you almost made me and my sister mute."
Shen Rou: "..." Is it possible that she just arrived before she had time to speak? !
"Pfft!" Shen Nian laughed out loud, pinched Shen Jing's chubby little face, and said, "Why don't I see that you are mute? You are a famous little parrot in our family. "
A parrot who speaks the densest and most trivial words, and is particularly eloquent.
Shen Jing: "!!!"
"Sister Nian'er, are you saying that I talk too much?" the little girl held her face in her hands and asked in horror.
Shen Nian shrugged, "It's not just me who thinks so, everyone thinks so!"
Not to mention being a talkative, he is still a little pepper.
Shen Jing looked at the other people in the room. Shen Meiying and others were very considerate of the birthday man and nodded one after another.
Sister Jing lowered her shoulders in disbelief, covered her face like a drama queen, and said twice, "I didn't expect that the talkative one is me! I will never dislike others talking too much, ugh..."
Shen Nian, Shen Meiying, Shen Rou: "..."
Who does Sister Jing dislike?
The good times will soon come.
Shen Er and Li Xiuniang were standing on the east steps waiting for the guests, and a minister was standing at the bottom of the west steps... Everyone was in their places.
Shen Nian was waiting in the east room and was quite curious when he heard the sound of music playing from outside.
"Sister Rouer, there is music playing outside, when can I go out?" she asked.
Shen Rou had not invited anyone to play the hairpin ceremony in the first place. Now she was curious when she heard the sounds coming from outside. She smiled softly and said, "It should be soon. Just wait a moment."
"……All right."
After an unknown amount of time, someone came and shouted, and Shen Nian finally left the east room.
Seeing that the yard was full of people, the little girl rolled her eyes.
So lively.
After bowing to the visitor, Shen Nian knelt and sat in a fixed position. Shen Meiying, as a complimenter, combed her hair. She just put down the comb...
A group of people appeared at the door.
This group of people was headed by Xiao Zhi, and beside him stood a graceful and dignified woman.
The woman's eyes quickly revealed that the guest of honor had just arrived, and she smiled and said, "Just in time."
