Because of Xiniang's reminder, Ye Zhenzhen mentioned private donations to Cui Weizhen that day. Cui Weizhen placed a donation box at the yamen gate the next day and sent an official to register it.
After hearing that the charity box had just been placed, Xi Niang donated ten taels of silver in the name of Yan Qingban. She was a celebrity in Mingzhou Prefecture, and her every move attracted much attention, so many people were affected by her and became generous.
Although the donation amount is not large, it can be regarded as the first shot of donation.
Three days flew by in the blink of an eye, and it was soon the day of the fundraising banquet.
Today, Ye Zhenzhen is wearing a water-red gold brocade palace dress. The bustier skirt can reveal the undulating curvature. The outer shirt is tied with golden silk yarn. Her figure is slim and fit, although not as slim as before.
Slender, but with a plump and exquisite posture, it is completely impossible to tell that she is already the mother of two children.
After getting dressed, Ye Zhenzhen put on her makeup in front of the dressing table. Qiu Wu tied her hair into a ponytail. The bun was loose and almost untied, giving her a lazy and elegant sense of wealth.
The hair style is good-looking, but when she shakes her head, the sideburns always have a sense of insecurity as if dark clouds are falling. Ye Zhenzhen stretched out her hand to support her again and again, and called Qiu Wu: "There is still time, why don't you change it again?"
Get your hair done."
Cui Weizhen happened to come back from the martial arts arena, still carrying a bit of water vapor from the bath, and even brought out a faint cold fragrance when he walked over.
He picked out a golden stick from the dowry and inserted it into her dark-clouded temples. He said in a low voice, "That's it, don't change it."
The woman in the glass mirror has thick and black hair on her temples, and her bun is like a pile of fragrant mountains. Her golden steps are full of emerald pearls, and there are golden flowers among the precious leaves. Between her nod and lowered eyebrows, a golden butterfly as thin as a cicada's wing has no wind.
And move, spreading its wings to fly.
Cui Weizhen's eyes fell on her face, his eyes far away: "It seems there is something missing."
Without thinking for too long, he quickly picked up a fine pen, applied rouge and gouache, and drew a fragrant and elegant orchid between her eyebrows.
The elegance and purity of orchids balance out the richness and beauty of the makeup, and it is dignified yet elegant, making it very suitable for today's occasion.
With a stroke of genius, it immediately had the finishing touch.
Ye Zhenzhen took a picture of herself in the mirror, looking left and right, the smile on her face never broke. Now she didn't feel uncomfortable with the ponytail bun. This makeup matched perfectly, completely highlighting her appearance and temperament.
The advantages above are simply tailor-made for her.
She winked coquettishly in the mirror, pouting cutely, and her eyes curved into beautiful crescents.
Cui Weizhen laughed and tapped her bulging cheeks: "She just loves to make mischief."
Ye Zhenzhen relied on her beauty to commit crimes and glared at him rudely: "I'm good-looking and I'm happy with it!"
Her lips were bright red and full, and her pouting look was even more tempting. Cui Weizhen couldn't help but lower her head and took a bite. Qiu Wu, Yuxiu and others who were waiting next to her covered their mouths and snickered, and retreated consciously.
Nothing that required harmony happened next, because Ye Zhenzhen was not moved by the male lust and pushed him away ruthlessly. She nervously raised the glass mirror and looked left and right, and found that the rouge on her mouth had indeed been eaten.
After eating a piece, I suddenly felt a little unhappy.
She picked up a wet handkerchief to wipe away the remaining redness, while complaining: "I took so much trouble to put on my lip makeup, and you just made me waste my efforts, and I have to put it on again."
Cui Weizhen felt guilty: "...I'll redraw it for you."
The remaining lipstick on her lips has been wiped clean, revealing her original bright red and tender lip color. Cui Weizhen looked at it carefully before focusing on the makeup package.
There is a secret compartment on the makeup package, which contains a dazzling array of lipsticks. Cui Weizhen, as a master of painting, knows the colors of these lipsticks very well, but he has difficulty in choosing.
Which one should he choose? Speaking of which, it was the first time he discovered that Zhen'er had lipsticks of so many colors, and there were actually more lipsticks than paints.
Looking at the box of so-called eye shadow next to him, he was silent for a moment - a woman's makeup must be as delicate as painting.
Ye Zhenzhen pointed her hand and chose one of the colors without hesitation: "This color matches my makeup today."
Cui Weizhen took a look, picked up a lip brush, dipped it in lipstick and started applying makeup. With a steady hand, he drew along the lip line, and it was done in the blink of an eye.
Ye Zhenzhen took the rouge paper and took a sip to make the lipstick on her lips more natural and soft. She looked at it carefully and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she nodded with satisfaction.
"It's done!" Ye Zhenzhen stood up, straightened her clothes, and said to Cui Weizhen: "It's getting late, I have to go and pay my respects to my mother, and then it's time to go to the banquet."
Cui Weizhen held her hand. His palm was dry and warm. There were thin calluses on the palm, but it didn't scratch her at all.
"I'll accompany you."
Aunt Cui always got up very early. When Ye Zhenzhen came, she had already finished washing and was watching the nanny in the Bisha cupboard feeding Xin Ning.
It was inconvenient for Cui Weizhen to come in, so Ye Zhenzhen went inside to look after the children.
She put on makeup and didn't dare to hold the baby. She teased her daughter a few times in Hu's arms and asked, "How is Xin Ning's appetite these days? Does she drink as much milk as before?"
Mrs. Hu said: "In the past few days, the little girl has started to eat complementary foods. After filling her stomach, she drinks less milk, but her appetite is still as good as before and she eats deliciously."
Ye Zhenzhen tapped her daughter's little nose and said with a smile: "Our Xinning is really capable."
Xin Ning seemed to know that her mother was praising her, she giggled, revealing her gums.
etc……
Ye Zhenzhen came closer and took a closer look, and immediately discovered the big news: "Mom, look, does Xin Ning have teeth? There is a small bump on the gums."
Aunt Cui hurriedly came over to take a look, and sure enough she saw a small bag. A smile suddenly appeared on her face: "This child always likes to bite things these days. He even bit his brother's hand yesterday. It turned out that he was itching to grow teeth.
Woolen cloth."
A group of people gathered together to watch. Cui Weizhen listened for a while outside and couldn't help but raise his voice and asked: "Has Xin Ning got baby teeth?"
Only then did everyone remember that the child's father was outside, and they quickly took the child out to share the joy with her father.
Cui Weizhen was really happy when he saw the cute little bumps on his daughter's gums. His expression was incredibly soft. He rubbed his daughter's little head and said, "Our Xin Ning is starting to grow up."
Xin Ning nestled peacefully in her father's generous arms, babbling in alien language, dancing so happily that she even stayed behind.
Everyone was amused by her and laughed loudly, calling her cute.
