Early the next morning, Bai Ling dressed up carefully, specially changed into some festive autumn clothes, put on a brocade cloak, got into the carriage, and went to Xiao Mansion to add makeup to Xiao Muqing.
The legitimate daughter of the Xiao family is getting married, and although the time is tight and confusing, there are many people coming to congratulate her.
Bai Ling was led to the backyard by the concierge, and a girl led the way to Xiao Muqing's place.
Mrs. Xiao, who was entertaining guests in the front yard, was trying to force a smile. After hearing the girl's report, she couldn't hold on to the fake smile on her face.
"Let people keep an eye on you, don't let the eldest lady suffer." Mrs. Xiao's eyes flashed with a stern look.
If there weren't many guests, Mrs. Xiao would have to slam the table and rush over to protect her daughter.
Outsiders didn't know about that incident, so Mrs. Xiao knew the inside story, but she never blamed Xiao Muqing for wanting to frame others, but she blamed Bai Ling for Xiao Muqing's low marriage.
The maid took the order and left. The other ladies saw that Mrs. Xiao's face was not good-looking, and their laughter was interrupted for a while, and they couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
When Bai Ling was led to the backyard, Xiao Muqing naturally had other ladies coming over to add makeup.
According to the rules, all the noble ladies, including Xiao Muqing, have to greet Bai Ling whether they like it or not.
"Are Qing'er alienated from me? There is no need to be so polite between you and me." Bai Ling stepped forward to support Xiao Muqing, as close as ever, "You are about to leave the cabinet, but I don't know when you can come back again."
When we meet, I really miss you."
As he said this, Bai Ling's eyes turned red.
It's not that Bai Ling doesn't know how to act, he just doesn't want to.
Xiao Muqing probably thought of her grievances, and her eyes were red. She immediately lowered her eyes, forced a smile and said: "Yes, it will not be easy for a woman to return to the capital after she marries and obeys her husband. Maybe you go south,
Only then can we meet."
"Getting married is a happy event. Look, I can't speak, but it makes you cry." Bai Ling pressed the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief, raised a bright smile and said: "As a good sister, all I can do is give you
Send me some extra gifts. In the future, when you marry far away, you will be able to see things and miss people, so don't dislike it, Qing'er."
"I heard that Princess Jixiang's medicinal jade is very expensive and hard to find. I wonder if there is such a cosmetic item?" Someone asked curiously: "My mother also went to buy it, but it was a pity that she was a step too late. She spent several days eating and drinking.
Don’t think about it, I’m really curious about the difference between this medicinal jade and ordinary jade.”
"Qing'er is my good sister, so I have to prepare it for her. But this medicinal jade needs to be worn close to the body, and it has different effects on different people. Qing'er is weak, so this jade is specially tailored for her.
Customized. It’s a pity that we were short of time and the effect of the medicine was a little weaker.”
Bai Lingqing smiled lightly, not feeling embarrassed at all.
She waved Haitang forward and took the brocade box in her hand. Ruyu's fingers opened the lid of the box, revealing the medicinal jade inside.
"Why is it so small?" the young lady who just asked the question exclaimed.
Others also came forward to look at it, and they could see that the texture of the jade was of high quality, but it was only the size of a fingernail, which was indeed too small.
"Don't you ladies know that my princess's medicinal jade is just such a small piece, with a minimum value of eighty thousand taels of silver? The piece given to Miss Xiao is of even higher quality and was specially prepared by my princess.
Yes, even one hundred thousand taels can't be obtained." Haitang's cold voice sounded, and her cold eyes glanced at the silent Xiao Muqing.
All the rich ladies had never seen medicinal jade before, and they couldn't help but clicked their tongues when they heard the price.
Not to mention the preciousness of medicinal jade, it was worth one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver. Just give it to a handkerchief to add makeup, but no one of them could take it out.
More importantly, even if they are both legitimate daughters, the dowry prepared by the family may not be of this amount, right?
You must know that betrothal gifts and dowries from wealthy families sometimes look valuable, but in fact most of them are just make-up, and not many can actually be turned into money.
Xiao Muqing was also a little surprised, but she knew in her heart that Bai Ling was doing it for a good reputation and was not really being nice to her, so she had no intention of thanking her.
"This is too valuable, how can I accept it?" Xiao Muqing hurriedly pretended that she deserved it and was not coveting the jade.
"When you and I get to know each other, we are as close as sisters. How can a gift be measured in gold and silver?"
Bai Ling took Xiao Muqing's hand and placed the brocade box in her hand.
Xiao Muqing still wanted to refuse, but said earnestly: "This piece of medicinal jade can not only warm and nourish your body, but also have the effect of anti-fetus if you become pregnant in the future. But it is not omnipotent, it is just warm and nourishing.
"
This time, Xiao Muqing swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Mrs. Xiao had long taught Xiao Muqing that once she got married, the most important thing was to capture her husband's heart and give birth to children as soon as possible.
Although the Xiao family will protect her secretly, the disappeared clan will not support her.
The other daughters looked at Xiao Muqing with envy, hating that they did not have a good sister like Bai Ling.
In just a moment, all the rich people began to actively chat with Bai Ling, hoping to get closer to Bai Ling.
I dare not expect Bai Ling to give them such a gift when they get married, but who knows if they will need to ask Bai Ling for help in the future.
Bai Ling's medical skills are now highly recognized. He can even reattach broken limbs. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a miracle doctor.
Xiao Muqing watched Bai Ling chatting and laughing with the other daughters with a gloomy expression. This time, she, the master, became the foil.
Xiao Muqing knew in her heart that someone would come over to add makeup, just to give the Xiao family face.
A legitimate daughter suddenly married into a lowly family. It doesn't take a fool to understand that Xiao Muqing is now regarded as an outcast by the family.
However, the Xiao family did not expel Xiao Muqing, and the marriage was arranged normally, so no one dared to speak openly about it.
After a while, these daughters had to stand up and say goodbye. Adding makeup is a testimony of the friendship between the little sisters, and it is not a communication between families.
Therefore, when it comes to time, everyone has unwritten rules. If anyone delays for a long time, he or she is out of touch. If people spread the word, they have no rules.
"You even came here to add makeup to me, do you want to make a show of yourself?" Xiao Muqing asked calmly after seeing off the guests.
Bai Ling raised his head and glanced at Xiao Muqing. Rather than saying that Xiao Muqing was calm, it was better to say that Xiao Muqing was heartbroken and had no expectations.
"Whether you believe it or not, I had prepared this medicinal jade a long time ago. I originally wanted to give it to you as a makeup gift, but..." Bellington paused, looked at Xiao Muqing and said, "I didn't expect it.
, when it’s time to add makeup to you, things have changed.”
Xiao Muqing looked at Bai Ling in disbelief, but thinking of her own situation, she felt that there was no need for Bai Ling to lie.
"Do you hate me?" Xiao Muqing asked after being silent for a while.
"Have you ever hated it?" Bai Ling's eyes looked past Xiao Muqing and fell on the flowers and plants outside the door.
I don’t hate it now because I don’t care anymore, but how could I not be sad at that time?
After time travel, apart from family members, Xiao Muqing was Bai Ling's first friend, and she was sincere to her.
Xiao Muqing also understood what Bai Ling meant, her eyes turned red, and her heart was very complicated.
"Now that I didn't marry well, I have received retribution. It's time for you to stop hating me." Xiao Muqing turned away, not wanting Bai Ling to see her vulnerability and unwillingness.
"You should believe in your family. They have loved you for more than ten years, so how can they make the rest of your life miserable?" Bai Ling chuckled, laughing that he actually said words to comfort Xiao Muqing. (To be continued)
