Chapter 50 Jade Carving

The jade box brought by the eldest princess of Jiashan contained nine pairs of beauties.

The jade figures are of fine quality, made of high-quality mutton-fat white jade. The nine pairs of jade figures are carved with clear outlines and are lifelike.

The eldest princess of Jiashan dutifully gave Jiang Changning pre-marriage education and comforted her, telling her not to be nervous and just listen to King Jin.

If you listen to men, you will suffer a loss.

Jiang Changning responded obediently, and then called the waiter in.

The leader is Mrs. Quan who is not Mrs. Quanfu but only Mrs. Xi.

Coming in from the back holding dragon and phoenix candles was Jiang Changning's former maid Jin Ya, and another maid carrying a fragrant belt.

Xiulan, Shufei and Fucui also had no time in their hands, so they all carried food boxes with things for worship in them.

"What time is it now?" Princess Jiashan asked.

"At the beginning of Haishi." Xiulan replied.

"The time has come, so hurry up and put things on the table. Don't miss the auspicious time." said the eldest princess of Jiashan.

On the southwest side of the room, an incense table has been set up.

After placing the dragon and phoenix candles, the eldest princess of Jiashan took matters into her own hands and took out four kinds of cakes, four kinds of fruits, and four kinds of vegetables from the food box.

The pastries are: Zisun Pastry, Ruyifa Cake, Sixi Steamed Dumplings, and Honey Fruit Cake.

The fruits are: pomegranate, sweet potato, apple, grape.

The cooked dishes are: mandarin duck chicken, phoenix fish, butterfly sea cucumber, peach blossom shrimp.

It is auspicious to get married in pairs.

"Chun'an, come, kneel down and thank Yue Lao for giving you a good marriage." The eldest princess of Jiashan pulled Jiang Changning to the incense table.

Jiang Changning didn't understand why he wanted to worship the moon and thank his elders?

Yue Lao does not live in the moon, but Chang'e lives in the moon.

This is so unscientific.

When Jiang Changning was slandering, he completely forgot that this is not science, this is myth.

In science, the moon is completely barren. There is no gorgeous moon palace, no beautiful fairy Chang'e, Wu Gang, osmanthus trees, and jade rabbits are nowhere to be found. The lunar soil cannot be planted at all.

Jiang Changning knelt on the futon and looked at the moonlight pouring in from the window. He closed his eyes and said silently: "Yue Lao, this marriage is not what I expected, but since you have already taken it, then this is it.

Well, if he is a good husband, I will be a good wife."

After praying, Xiulan and Shufei stepped forward to help Jiang Changning up. The evening's affairs were over.

"Chun'an, rest early, you have to get up early tomorrow." The eldest princess of Jiashan returned to the guest house with the support of her maid.

Thinking of having to sleep with a strange man tomorrow, Jiang Changning was still a little nervous and tossed and turned in bed for half an hour.

"Girl, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed." Xiulan had to remind her.

"Go to sleep." Jiang Changning closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

It felt like she hadn't slept long before Xiulan woke her up.

Looking at the window paper that was still dark, Jiang Changning, who was yawning, frowned and said, "Xiulan, it's too early, it's not yet dawn."

The auspicious time to welcome the bride, if she remembered correctly, should be at noon, that is, at two o'clock in the afternoon!

"Girl, get up early and dress up." Xiulan rolled up the curtain.

Shu Fei led the maid in with warm water, "Girl, good morning."

"Good morning." Jiang Changning walked over with his shoes on and rinsed his mouth and face.

After washing up, Jiang Changning came out of the bedroom and went to the Nuan Pavilion, where Mrs. Quan, Golden Buds and Incense Belt were already waiting.

After a while, the eldest princess of Jiashan also came, "Let her eat something to cushion her first."

I haven't put on my wedding dress yet, so it's easy to go to the toilet and eat.

The bride is also very particular about what she eats.

The red date, longan and lotus seed soup was so sweet that Jiang Changning rolled his eyes. It was so sweet to eat it so early in the morning.

After she finished eating, she rinsed her mouth again, went to the toilet, purified herself with the prepared potion, and sat in front of the dressing table.

Grandma Quan's auspicious words came, "The noble people take photos, the flowers are beautiful and the moon is full."

Fu Cui opened a mahogany carved brocade box and found a silver comb, silver grate and other items inside.

Mrs. Quan said again: "Identification of affairs is neat and tidy, with white hair and eyebrows."

When Fu Cui takes something, Granny Quan will say something auspicious to her.

It's up to the mother-in-law to do the face-dressing thing. "Oh, my girl's face is so tender that she doesn't even need to twist it."

Having said that, Granny Quan still put a twisted wire in Jiang Changning's face to show off her feelings.

Then Jiang Changning started to put on the wedding clothes, putting them on one by one.

After putting it on, Jiang Changning felt that it was difficult for her to move, but there were still several hours until the end of time.

Getting married is really a tiring thing, but luckily she only got married once.

After the wedding dress was put on, the eldest princess of Jiashan was about to comb her hair. She opened the dressing box and took out the osmanthus oil from it.

With Song Yirou's vicious plan, everything was prepared by the Jiang family themselves.

The eldest princess of Jiashan touched Jiang Changning's hair and said, "The hair is thin and soft. He is a well-behaved child. He will definitely be loved by his in-laws."

Jiang Changning smiled, hoping it would be as the eldest princess said.

The eldest princess of Jiashan combed Jiang Changning's hair, singing softly while combing it, "One comb to the head, you don't have to worry about wealth; two combs to the head, the white hair will reach the eyebrows; three combs... There is a head and a tail, and wealth will last forever."

Other newlyweds had to wear their hair in a more complicated bun, but Jiang Changning did not. The eldest princess of Jiashan gathered her hair into a low bun, and then put a Zhai crown on her.

Although Jiang Changning is a step-concubine, she is a titled county head, so Zhai Guan's work is quite luxurious.

The emerald green is exquisite and beautiful, with rubies and pearls hidden in it, and the light is brilliant, with four pairs of golden dragons shining brightly.

After combing your hair, it's time to put on makeup.

The eldest princess of Jiashan looked at her for a moment and said: "Chun'an is so beautiful. You don't need to put on too much powder, just trace your eyebrows and apply some rouge."

Jiang Changning breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that he didn't have to look like a geisha from the island nation.

Sitting on the wedding bed, waiting until I was very hungry, I heard someone say from outside: "Here it comes, here it comes, the groom is here."

Jiang Changning was surprised, King Jin came to greet her personally?

Although according to custom, the groom must greet the bride in person when getting married, the royal family, relying on their noble status, usually sends officials from the Ministry of Rites to pick her up.

More than four years ago, did King Jin personally go to marry Mrs. Pu?

Jiang Changning didn't remember clearly. At that time, she never thought that she would marry Prince Jin as his step-concubine in the future, so she didn't pay much attention to the affairs of Prince Jin's palace.

"Xiulan." Jiang Changning called Xiulan to his side, "Go and take a look."

She suspected that the onlookers mistook the official of the Ministry of Rites for the King of Jin, and asked Xiulan to confirm.

Xiulan went quickly and came back, "Girl, here is Prince Jin."

Jiang Changning's eyebrows moved slightly, and Jin Ya whispered: "Girl, it's a good thing to be valued by the King of Jin."

Whether the King of Jin came to welcome him in person, whether it was true or false, it was a good thing for Jiang Changning. No one dared to look down on her as an orphaned princess.

The corner of Jiang Changning's lips raised slightly. Prince Jin was willing to play a role of deep love and affection, and she could also cooperate in the role of a loving couple.

Jiang Changning took the round fan handed over by the maid. The round fan was embroidered with tapestry birds and branches.

Holding the handle of the fan with both hands, covering his face.
