The next day, after Qianxue went out, Jinlanyuan got busy and even bought Kongming lanterns to put on at night.
Everyone put their names on the prepared gifts and put them in Qianxue's room.
Rong Rong prepared a new set of clothes and some headwear for Qianxue, letting Qianxue change into them when she comes back.
Qianxue loves sweets, so we have prepared more than ten kinds of pastries for tonight's banquet. I think Qianxue will be able to fill up her stomach if she tries one of each.
In the afternoon, Qianxue and the master of ceremonies came back early. The front hall was full of people, but why did I feel that everyone was a little weird today, as if they were dressed very beautifully.[
Qianxue glanced at Yi Shuihan suspiciously. Yesterday, she forgot to ask them what happened if they came back early.
Rong Rong stood up and pulled Qianxue over, and said with a smile: "Qianxue, come with me to my room. I bought a new set of clothes yesterday but they don't fit. You try to see if they fit."
Qianxue was a little dazed: "Huh? You and I are about the same body shape. If it doesn't fit you, I shouldn't fit either."
"Try it first and then talk about it. Follow me." Rong Rong pulled Qian Xue away without any explanation.
The master of ceremonies was confused. He seemed to have missed something: "Master, what happened?"
"Today is Qianxue's birthday."
"What? Master, why didn't you tell me earlier?!" The master of ceremonies complained a little. He probably did it on purpose. He didn't prepare any gifts.
"You didn't ask me."
The master of ceremonies was about to cry but had no tears. He knew that the master was deliberately playing tricks on him. Forget it, he went to prepare the gifts quickly.
The housekeeper quickly directed the servants to hang up the lanterns, move the tables to the front yard, and bring cakes, fruits, fragrant tea and wine from the kitchen.
After Rong Rong brought Qianxue to the room, she took a bath, tried on clothes, and dressed up, which took more than half an hour.
Qianxue looked in the mirror and was very surprised. She had been in this time and space for so long and she had never been dressed so grandly.
She wore a popular flying star moon-shaped bun with a lavender hairpin inserted sideways, which looked a bit casual but elegant. She also painted a red plum between her eyebrows. It is said that this is called plum blossom makeup. She wore a rose-red dress.
The long skirt has wide sleeves with tassels, a jingle ring, and fine plum blossom petals embroidered on the corners of the skirt. The whole person looks beautiful and generous, and her cheeks are looking forward to the flight of the gods, and she is shining brightly.
"Haha, Qianxue, you look so beautiful dressed like this. You look like a famous lady. You are already beautiful, but when you dress like this, oh, you even outshine me."
"Rong Rong, how can I go out when you dress me up like this?" Qianxue said with a bitter look on her face. Although women all love beauty, deliberately overdressing her beauty is just showing off, and who is she dressing like this for?
"What's going on? I think this is very appropriate. It's almost dark, let's go out for dinner." Rong Rong went over and took Qianxue's hand and led Qianxue out.
"No, no, let me change my clothes first and take off my makeup, otherwise I will scare people when I go out." Qianxue said and reached for the hairpin on her head.
Rong Rong quickly stopped Qianxue and grabbed Qianxue's hand to prevent her from taking it: "No, no, today is a good day. Didn't you see that everyone is dressed particularly grandly?"
Qianxue looked at Rong Rong doubtfully and said, "What day is today? I feel strange." [
Rong Rong smiled and said: "You can find out when you go to the front hall. Let's go, don't miss the time."
Qianxue still felt a little awkward and quickly said: "Then I can't dress like this, I don't wear something so grand during the Chinese New Year."
