Generally, the newlyweds stay in the boudoir waiting for the little sisters to add their makeup, but it is not impossible to welcome them out in person, usually when distinguished guests come over.
Bai Banxia didn't know who came, but since they sincerely came to add makeup, they were all honored guests to her.
She told Aunt You, then got up and went to the door. He Yunlan, Du Hui, and Ma Xiaoyu also followed curiously.
Many girls were waiting outside the door, and when they saw Bai Banxia coming out in person, they all looked surprised.
A young man stuck his head out and said with a smile: "Doctor Bai, my brother and I asked the neighbor's sister to add makeup to you."
The young man was Li Sheng, and his brother Li Lu also followed him, but he was more concerned with taking care of his younger brother, for fear that his younger brother's hands would be touched.
Bai Banxia smiled gratefully at him, "Thank you, thank you everyone!"
An old woman pulled two little girls and said loudly: "Doctor Bai, you cured my illness. I knew you were going to get married, so I called my granddaughter and my granddaughter to come and help you."
"So do we!" someone else echoed.
"Me too. Those rumors in Beijing have wronged you. We know your medical skills and that you are a good doctor. If we can't do anything else, I can still put some makeup on you!"
"It's just that we don't have any expensive gifts. Doctor Bai, don't dislike it."
"..."
Bai Banxia recognized that there were many patients who she had treated after coming to Beijing.
Her eyes were a little warm. As a doctor, she was supposed to treat people. The patient was grateful and wanted to help her.
She was moved by this kindness and enthusiasm.
"Thank you, thank you everyone! Please come in quickly!"
She wanted to invite everyone into the house, but everyone refused to move. They waved their hands and said they would not go in. She asked the housekeeper to take out the box for adding makeup, and let the girls add makeup and leave.
Bai Banxia insisted on inviting them in for tea. How could there be any reason not to let guests in?
"Doctor Bai, we are trying our best, but if we have to come in, we will cause trouble to your family." Someone said.
"No trouble, no trouble, it's just that I don't have good tea at home, so don't dislike it," Bai Banxia said.
Just now she told her not to dislike the ordinary makeup, so she also told everyone not to dislike the ordinary tea.
Finally everyone entered the house, which was not big and a bit crowded. Some people put on makeup and left, while others drank a cup of tea and said some auspicious words before leaving.
After everyone left, Bai Banxia realized that the makeup box was already full and everything had been thrown out.
Although most of them are small items such as handkerchiefs and socks, you can see that they are all sewn by yourself, which is very touching.
Not long after, a carriage came outside Bai Banxia's house, and the prime minister's wife led several girls out of the carriage.
"Ban Xia, I asked the girls at home to add makeup to you." The prime minister's wife introduced the women as her granddaughter, granddaughter, and grandniece.
Bai Banxia hurriedly thanked her. The prime minister's wife treated her very well.
After adding makeup, the prime minister's wife did not stay long and told Bai Banxia to take a good rest while she had time. Tomorrow's big wedding day will be complicated and very tiring.
Bai Banxia rested obediently all afternoon. When it got dark, another carriage quietly stopped at the door of Bai's house.
Someone knocked on the door gently, and when the housekeeper spoke, five girls came down, saying they were here to add makeup to Doctor Bai.
The housekeeper thought it was too late, but he didn't dare to say anything and led the people inside.
Bai Banxia didn't expect the five patients from the brothel to come. She stood up to greet them, and the five of them saluted her and gave her their gifts.
"We wanted to come during the day, but we were afraid of disturbing you, so we waited until dark before coming," a woman explained.
Bai Banxia patted her hand and said, "It's nothing. You guys are thinking about me, so just come here."
The women smiled and looked particularly happy.
"I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon." They said in unison.
"thank you all."
After everyone left and no one came to add makeup, Grandma You became worried.
She was Banxia's manager, so she followed Bai Banxia to the house to arrange her marriage.
But now that I think about it, the dowry is too much and exceeds the limit.
The standard for a prince's concubine is up to one hundred and twenty-eight, and any more would be the standard for a princess or queen.
Qi Zhen prepared a lot of good things for Bai Banxia, a total of one hundred and twenty-eight hefts, but the emperor also gifted many more things, and there were eight hens when put together.
Then Bai Tian and the others must bring the dowry to Bai Banxia, right? There are also these additional dowries, which are all a sign of affection, and they add up to six dowries.
Therefore, we can only reduce what the town has prepared.
"I can only aggrieve the prince and ask Sihai to tell the prince that some of his things need to be removed. After all, they belong to him and the princess. Wouldn't it be the same if they were given to him in the future?" said Aunt You.
Bai Banxia thought this was also true, so he called Sihai out and asked him to bring a message to Qi Zhen.
Unexpectedly, Qi Zhen actually jumped down from the wall in the blink of an eye.
"My lord, why are you here?" Aunt You almost shouted, "You and the princess cannot meet, otherwise it will be unlucky. Princess, please go in quickly!"
She pushed Bai Banxia, who suppressed his laughter and returned to the room. When he entered, he looked back at Qi Zhen and smiled mischievously.
"Mommy, you know I don't pay attention to those rules." Qi Zhen said helplessly.
"You have to be patient even if you don't care. It's only for one day." Aunt You's face darkened, "What do you have to say to me?"
"You can tell her that she can take away my dowry, but she must remember that I prepared a dowry of 128 yuan for her to marry her, without any adulteration," Qi Zhen said.
Mother You repeated his words loudly, and then pushed him towards the wall, "Okay, okay, the princess knows, you should leave quickly."
"Then I'll go through the main door." Qi Zhen said.
Aunt You had a stern look on her face, "No, what if someone sees me? You're going back where you came from!"
Bai Banxia laughed so hard in the room that her stomach ached. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing for him to be seen climbing over the wall?
"I heard it, go back to bed quickly, see you tomorrow!" she said to the outside of the house.
Only then did Qi Zhen give up, jump up on the wall and leave.
Aunt You sighed and muttered: "It's as skinny as when I was a child. Only Mrs. Shuang could cure him before. Fortunately, now I have a princess."
Bai Banxia looked at Grandma You's back and thought that she had worked hard these years and it would be time for her to enjoy the blessings in the future. Should she really give birth to a baby for her to play with?
But when she thought of the pain of giving birth, she shivered, scared!
After a while, Zhang Lingzhi took a small box into the house, acting a little sneakily, as if the box was stolen.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Bai Banxia asked.
"No, it's nothing. We just want to talk about ourselves before we get married..."
