860 Getting Married (1)
On the eighth day of the first month of the lunar year, which was auspicious for marriage and a long journey, Shen Miao was woken up by Jingzhe and Gu Yu to be dressed up.
Shen Miao originally thought that she would not be able to fall asleep the night before her wedding. Unexpectedly, when that day really came, she slept especially soundly. It was as if she had returned to her carefree childhood.
Because she had slept well, her face looked even more rosy and her complexion was extremely good. Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang brought Shen Miao some exquisite pastries. The pastries were all small. Bai Lu said, “Miss, eat something to fill your stomach first. The wedding procedure today is complicated. You can’t go hungry on the way.” She picked up a bowl of small porridge and said, “Madam woke up early and personally made porridge for you!”
Shen Miao picked up the bowl and slowly drank, feeling complicated.
In her previous life, she cried and threw a tantrum with her family, forcing Shen Xin to agree to let her marry Fu Xiuyi. However, in this marriage, there was more criticism than blessings. At that time, Luo Xueyan was so angry with Shen Miao that she fell ill. She barely managed to hold on and watch Shen Miao finish the wedding. How could she still be in the mood to make porridge?
Unlike now, everyone in the mansion was happy and did their best for her. Shen Miao suddenly felt that this marriage seemed to be extremely good.
Just as she was about to finish eating, Luo Xueyan came in, followed by a middle-aged woman. This woman did not look very outstanding, but she was able to attract people’s attention, and she was also dressed very nicely.
“This is Miss Mei from the capital.” Luo Xueyan smiled and said, “She’s specially here to be your bridesmaid today.”
Shen Miao was a little surprised.
Miss Mei was a very famous person in the capital. She came from an official family, but from a young age, despite her parents’ objection, she started a business. The business she did was rouge, powder, clothes, and jewelry. There were countless daughters from official families in the capital who did not lack money.
Miss Mei’s clothes, jewelry, and rouge were the best and unique. Although she was doing business, no one would look down on her.
However, Miss Mei’s most outstanding skill was dressing people up. Once, a prince in Ming Qi married a consort. That consort was friends with Miss Mei, so Miss Mei agreed to be her bridesmaid. Later on, people said that the princess consort was probably the most beautiful bride since the founding of Ming Qi.
However, Miss Mei became the bridesmaid only because she had a relationship with the princess consort, and others were not so lucky. All these years, Miss Mei had never been the bridesmaid of others.
Shen Miao was surprised. She smiled and said, “I didn’t expect Miss Mei to do me the favor.”
Miss Mei smiled and said, “Princess Consort, don’t say that. When I saw you, I felt that we hit it off very well. I’ll be happy if you can let me be your bridesmaid.
These merchants had always been sharp-tongued. Shen Miao naturally did not believe that they hit it off. She thought that perhaps Shen Xin had given Miss Mei a lot of money, but on second thought, Miss Mei did not seem to be short of money.
As she was thinking, Miss Mei had already come forward and said with a smile, “Princess Consort, the wedding dress is very complicated. Please change into it first so that I can help you put on more makeup.”
She changed her clothes, coiled her hair, changed her jewelry, and put on layers of makeup.
