Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 35 Promise and Wedding Dress

While lying in bed, feeling sorry for the money she had spent, Liu Youyou suddenly heard the door open and a series of light footsteps approaching from afar. Who could be coming at this time? Liu Youyou continued to close her eyes and be alert, exerting all her strength, thankful that she had learned some basic kung fu. She was really afraid that Fu Jin would suddenly become old, so she was ready to break the situation simply and rudely.

But when the figure walked outside the bed curtain, Liu Youyou smelled a clear fragrance of plum blossoms, and she relaxed completely. It was Aunt Jiang who came.

Aunt Jiang sat beside Liu Youyou's bed, describing her eyebrows and eyes. The little girl she gave birth to after a life-threatening situation was going to go to someone else's home. She thought Yixiu could escape her fate, but she never thought that the empress in the palace would choose Yixiu. Her identity would eventually drag Yixiu down. Thinking of this, Aunt Jiang couldn't hold back her tears. She didn't wipe them away, she just wanted to see her daughter again.

But Liu Youyou raised her hand and wiped away Aunt Jiang's tears. "Mom, don't cry!" Liu Youyou wanted to give this woman some sweetness. Aunt Jiang's life was only sweet for a few short years, and the rest was full of wind and rain, and she was displaced.

The word "mother" finally made Aunt Jiang unable to hold back and burst into tears. It was a perfect life for her to have Yixiu, but her daughter was going to enter a place that was even more cannibalistic than the Ulanala Mansion. If there really were gods and Buddhas, she really wanted to ask if she had done too many evil things in her previous life and was taking revenge on her relatives in this life!

Liu Youyou had no way to comfort Concubine Jiang. Concubine Jiang didn't want Yixiu to get married, and she had to worry about her useless concubine. She wiped away her tears, took out a silver note of 1,500 taels, and stuffed it into Yixiu's hand. Liu Youyou knew that although the expenses of this small courtyard were small, it only brought in money and did not spend money. This was probably the only money Concubine Jiang had to support herself. How could she take it?

But Aunt Jiang held the banknote and Yixiu's hand tightly together, and said: "Auntie, because of my obsession, I have never tried to please the master all these years, and it has also caused my son to not see his face. I can't spend this money in the backyard. If I can help Yixiu, I will have no regrets in my life!"

Seeing what Madam Jiang said, Liu Youyou could only accept it, and when she got married, she would quietly leave three thousand taels for Madam Jiang to live on. Money was fine, but Liu Youyou couldn't help but feel worried when she heard the sense of escapism in Madam Jiang's words. In her previous life, Madam Jiang also died of an acute illness shortly after Yixiu got married. At that time, she thought it was a trick used by Fu Jin, but now she thinks that Madam Jiang has lost her worries and desire to live.

So Liu Youyou firmly shook Aunt Jiang's hand and said to her, "Aunt, wait for me. If you believe me, you will be able to return home in less than three years!"

Home? Where else can I have a home? Aunt Jiang couldn't think of it.

Liu Youyou could only continue to say: "There are only so many families with the surname Jiang in the capital. I will search them one by one and I will be able to find it."

Aunt Jiang hesitated. After so many years, did her father still remember her disappointing daughter? Could the plum tree in the yard still bloom in the cold? Did her father still paint the "Zhihan Tu" every year? Did her mother's plum blossom embroidery skills deteriorate over the years? If she could meet them, she would have to compare them!

Even though Aunt Jiang didn't believe she could be reunited with her family in her lifetime, Liu Youyou ignited hope in her heart. If she waited a few more years, what if she could really find them? Aunt Jiang prayed faintly.

But Aunt Jiang was worried that Yixiu would get into trouble because of her affairs, so she warned: "It's been so many years since my family's affairs happened. If you can't find them, forget it! If you find them, they are living happily and there is no need to recognize them again. The most important thing is, don't let my old affairs affect your actions in the Fourth Prince's mansion."

Seeing that Aunt Jiang had given in, Liu Youyou wanted to pave the way for her to meet Jiang Chen in the future, so she asked coquettishly, "Aunt Jiang, do you remember any news?"

Aunt Jiang fell into a long memory, saying, "The Jiang family should be bannermen. When I was a child, I called them Ama and E'niang. If we hadn't moved, there would be an old plum tree in the yard. When I was a child, I even scratched my name on the tree, Jiang Mufang. When I was one month old, Ama buried several jars of daughter red wine under the tree. Such wine cannot be brewed in the capital, so Ama specially commissioned merchants to bring it back from Jiangnan."

Aunt Jiang wanted to recall more, but she couldn't recall anything. Even her father's face was too blurry to recall. Liu Youyou was afraid that Aunt Jiang was losing her mind, so she interrupted her: "You are so busy today. When Aunt Jiang has some free time, remember it carefully and leave it to Old Lady Sun who is guarding the back door!"

Old Lady Sun loves money, and will do anything as long as she is paid. Liu Youyou is not sure about hiring her as a spy, but it is convenient for her to pass on a message to Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang did not insist any more, she nodded to show that she understood. She covered Yixiu with a blanket and also walked out quietly. After all, she had to get up early tomorrow to dress up, and she could not disturb Liu Youyou's rest. If Liu Youyou had not been alert, Aunt Jiang would have wanted to put the banknotes on the pillow and left.

Before dawn the next day, Liu Youyou was woken up early and had to dress and put on makeup according to the process that had been rehearsed and memorized. Of course, she had to go through the slightly painful facial massage. Even though the makeup lady was very skilled, Liu Youyou felt her face was stiff after the procedure, and the makeup she put on was no different from the information she had looked up.

But since she was going to marry the prince, Concubine De had sent her the best pearl powder in the palace early on for her to use for makeup. If she used lead powder, Liu Youyou would insist on putting on makeup on her bare face. After all, she was young, and with the maintenance methods guided by the system, she would never get her makeup stuck even once in a while.

After putting on makeup, although she looked a little whiter, Yixiu was not dark to begin with, and she had a good foundation, so she did not need to apply powder many times to cover it up. She had the classic petal lip makeup and her hair was combed up in a banner. The hair was given by the Fourth Prince, but it was not known whether it was left by Empress Xiaoyi Ren. If so, Liu Youyou could only admire the Fourth Prince, as he knew how to make things difficult for Concubine De.

At the same time, she was very glad that the auspicious clothes she wore when she entered the palace to pay homage to Concubine De after her marriage were prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs instead of her bringing her own, otherwise she would have been on her mother-in-law's blacklist on the first day of her marriage.

The phoenix coronet and bridal robe were very characteristic of the Qing Dynasty. But when Liu Youyou put them on neatly and stood in front of the bronze mirror admiring them, she finally understood why the concubine would be unwilling.

Wearing a scarlet wedding dress and a phoenix crown, Liu Youyou felt that her appearance had reached its peak. She opened the panel and saw that her appearance had indeed been temporarily raised to 8 points by makeup. Liu Youyou was of course very happy. After all, which girl didn't dream of a wedding dress? You can't wear bright red and wear a phoenix crown on your head. If you can't even have the most beautiful day (not the author's opinion, the stupid author thinks that girls are treasures and are beautiful and unique every day), how can people not resent it?

Liu Youyou was treated well because concubines had a certain status in the Qing Dynasty. If an ordinary family took a concubine, they would just carry her quietly in through the back door in a sedan chair. Better families were allowed to bring a maid as dowry and a bundle of dowry that they could carry close to them.

This also made Liu Youyou more wary of the Guaerjia concubine who had not yet entered the mansion. As a concubine, she was far superior to her, and she was afraid that she would cause a lot of resentment.

Liu Youyou pretended to be reserved, but in fact she admired him repeatedly and even asked Liuli to take a photo of her as a souvenir. Although Liu Youyou didn't know how many weddings she would experience in the future years of fantasy, the first one was still more meaningful. Liu Youyou didn't want to lose her expectations for life, and didn't want to be assimilated by the cannibalistic society, so she chose to adjust herself.
