Chapter 198 Dressing all night
As everyone was talking, Xue's mother also reacted and hurriedly went to support County Magistrate Sun, and said quickly, "Mr. County Magistrate, what are you doing? Are you not letting the civilian women lose their life? Get up quickly. The civilian women can't afford your gift. My father, please help County Magistrate Sun up as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Xue's father hurriedly stepped forward to support Sun County Magistrate and said, "My magistrate, you can't do it, you can't do it."
With the support of Xue's father, County Magistrate Sun took advantage of the situation and straightened up and said to Xue's father, "Brother Xue, I'm really sorry for your family!"
Xue's father also hurriedly picked up a nice sound and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, please don't say that. We can have enough food and clothing, all depends on the adults."
Xue’s father greeted the county magistrate Sun, while Xue’s mother pulled the female official to stuff a bag of spirit stones. The female official wanted to refuse. Xue’s mother said a little angrily, “The female official is from the royal city. Do you think this spirit stone is small?”
Xue's mother was very enthusiastic, and the female official was embarrassed to be disgusted, so she could only put the spirit stone into the storage bag. The female official had a good impression of Xue's mother, and then explained the etiquette to Xue's mother and father Xue, and was very attentive to explain etiquette to her.
The female official said to Xue’s mother and Xue’s father, “The rules for men and women are very different. Mrs. Wei, when you receive the imperial edict, you must kneel on the ground like this.”
As he said that, the female official knelt on the blanket she had prepared and continued, "When kneeling, straighten her back, press her head slightly, press her right hand diagonally on her left leg, and press her left hand on her right hand. The lady sees it clearly, and cross her left hand with a small angle..."
The female official taught him bit by bit, even if it was a little bit of subtle mistakes, the female official pointed out the story. The female official said, "Madam Wei, the etiquette is really cumbersome, please bear it."
Xue's mother smiled and said, "Don't call me a wife. It sounds strange. There are no outsiders here, so just call me sister."
The female official corrected Xue’s mother’s actions and smiled, “Sister, you are such a good person. My sister has taught many people etiquette. You are the one who knows the most.”
Xue’s mother smiled and said, “Is there anything else besides etiquette?”
The female official said, "After a while, I will burn incense and bathe you, and then try out your clothes. I will accept the order tomorrow. You can't wear your current outfit, and finally give you some makeup."
When Xue's mother heard this, she said, "There are so many more. Thank you for your hard work this time."
"It's not hard work. It's my sister's blessing to be able to do these things for her sister."
The two of them laughed and said that after about an hour, the etiquette was finished. After a few rehearsals, the female official began to take her maid to burn incense to bathe Xue's mother. After washing for a full hour, the maids kept sprinkling all kinds of petals that Xue's mother didn't recognize. After washing, it was late at night.
Then the female official took out a spiritual weapon and stuffed it into a spirit stone, and the whole house was as bright as daytime.
The female official took the maid to dress up Xue's mother. She gently scraped off the eyebrows on the tip of Xue's mother's eyebrows with a small blade. The lines of the willow-leaf eyebrows became more distinct, and then painted with indigo. Although it was only a faint layer, Xue's mother's whole body's extraordinary temperament suddenly became more obvious.
Xue Xiaoying, who was standing beside her, opened her eyes wide and leaned on her chin with her hands, looked at her mother in the mirror, and then looked at Xue's mother with her eyes wide open.
Seeing this, Xue's mother laughed and scolded, "You ghost elves, what are you looking at? Is there a flower on my face?"
Xue Xiaoying smiled, a chubby little bun face showed two shallow dimples, and said with a smile, "Mom, you are better than a flower today."
Xue's mother angrily said, "I've learned bad things from your brother."
When Xue Peng was mentioned, Xue's mother's smile became stronger. Today, all this was brought to her by her Ah Dai. She was content to have such a good son in this life.
After the female official finished drawing her eyebrows, the female official looked at it and finally started to paint lip gloss for Xue’s mother. Wang Ting’s makeup was also elegant and beautiful, so the female official only painted it lightly.
At this time, there was still an hour before dawn, and then the female official took out the prepared costumes of the wife.
The imperial wife's court uniform is somewhat similar to the official court uniform. It is mainly composed of court crowns, gold agreements, neck agreements, end covers, court robes, court gowns, court beads, and colored ears.
After dressing neatly, the female official looked at Xue's mother with satisfaction and handed it to Xue's mother in the mirror. When Xue's mother looked, the person in the mirror had exquisite makeup and dignified appearance. She was dressed in court and showed an indescribable majesty all over her body.
Xue's mother looked in the mirror and after a while, she said, "Is this me in the mirror?"
The female official smiled slightly and said, "This outfit is really suitable for wearing on my sister."
Xue Xiaoying, who was beside her, looked wide and said, "Mom, you look like a princess in the play."
When Xue's mother heard this, she said angrily, "Stupid girl, I really learned bad things from Brother Ni, and I know how to talk nonsense."
The third wife on the side also smiled and said, "Look, Xiaoying is not wrong. Her sister-in-law is like a princess in a play."
"My sister-in-law, why are you going to make a fuss?"
Xue's mother was so embarrassed that her face turned red, but her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles. For a moment, bursts of laughter came from the small room.
The night is about to end, and the moon is bright outside the window.
As the first ray of dawn broke through the sky, it was bright and soon after, the atmosphere in Qingyang Town became hot. Early on, a large group of people gathered at the door of the Xue family, waiting to see the imperial edict.
At about three o'clock, a horse arrived at the door of Xue's house and told the maid who had been waiting for a long time, "The imperial envoy is coming, and I am ready to receive the imperial edict."
After saying that, the man rode a horse and left. The maid hurried into the inner room and told the female official and Xue’s mother.
The female official took Xue's mother and followed Xue's father out.
As soon as Xue’s mother appeared, her exquisite makeup and court uniforms were stunned, and her big eyes stared at Xue’s mother.
Xue's father was also very happy today. His younger face also showed his handsomeness when he was young, and his spirit was many times higher than before. He never expected that he would wear a court uniform one day.
Xue's father was very happy and looked much more handsome. At this time, he stood with Xue's mother and looked a bit compatible.
Not long after, the town gate beat the gong and drum, and the imperial envoy walked over with the imperial edict.
The imperial envoy looked solemn, wearing an official uniform, walking in a dragon and tiger strolling, and was imposing.
Behind him were two teams of royal court golden armored guards, with bright armors. The sunlight reflected by the scimitar at his waist swayed and hurt everyone's eyes. It fell to the ground neatly as if it were steps, making a heavy sound, gradually approaching, making everyone feel uncomfortable and dare not take a breath.
Behind was a maid holding a gift, and there were dozens of people looking around.
