Chapter 1240: Anxious Zhao Xi
This time, it’s a completely different experience from the last.
Early in the morning, Shuyou was summoned by Madam Ruan to bathe, groom, and put on the bright red wedding dress, seated at the dressing table.
Doing her makeup was Shu Yu, and now in Jiangyuan County, bridal makeup was no longer limited to having a lucky person do it.
Now at Yiren Pavilion, there’s always one or two bridal makeup orders a month. As for Shuyou, she doesn’t care about this matter at all.
Besides, is anyone’s luck here better than Shu Yu’s?
Shu Yu is skilled and seriously helped her style her bridal hair, assisted by Lanhua.
Lanhua, now working at Yiren Pavilion, has learned and studied for several months and is already capable of handling things independently; doing makeup for people is no problem.
There were several other people in the room, all close to the Lu family.
Shuyou’s best friend Wei Lan also came. She got married a few months before Shuyou, and life has been pretty good since marriage; she’s plumper than before, fair and tender, radiating happiness.
She held Shuyou’s hand and said, "Both of us have finally found happiness. Look how much my husband cares for me. So will Doctor Zhao when you marry into the Zhao family. You will be happy."
Shuyou uttered an "Um," and mentioned Zhao Xi, her face full of bashful smiles.
Now recalling the incident when Zhang Shu and Zhou Jian were caught in the act and exposed publicly, it seems like just yesterday.
But now, both she and Wei Lan, fellow victims, have already commenced their new lives.
As for those two scumbags—Zhang Shu, for accidentally killing Mother Zhang, is still locked up in prison. Shuyou hasn’t inquired about him, but you can imagine the life of a blind mute.
As for Zhou Jian, it’s said he’s having an even worse time. Also blind and mute and despised by people, he just drifts through life by begging. Even among beggars, there’s a hierarchy.
Zhou Jian is that person at the very bottom who gets bullied by everyone.
Of course, Shuyou doesn’t know that Zhou Jian, because he inherently has a penchant for men, becomes the target of some dark people with similar tendencies. Actually, before Zhang Shu was imprisoned, he had similar experiences.
Shuyou shook her head, why think of such things on such a joyous day?
Now the Zhang family is already very distant from her, and the days to come will only get better for her.
Just as she thought, Madam Liang’s loud voice came from outside, "The welcoming team is here, quick, quick, put on the veil."
The old lady hurriedly stood up, "How did they arrive so quickly? It’s not even the scheduled hours yet. That Zhao kid is really impatient."
"Who won’t be impatient to marry a bride?" said Mother Li, who was here to help today.
Since the Li family’s brothers followed Lu Erbai to work, they’ve earned quite a bit in these few months, and their household is doing better and better. Old Mrs. Li is getting closer to the Lu family.
Although her daughter wasn’t up to much, she had a good relationship with old lady Lu and would always visit her whenever she came to the county town, bringing some fresh vegetables or pickled dishes from home.
Old Mrs. Li said to Madam Liang, "Let those outside blocking the door keep it closed for a while longer."
"But they have to be able to block it..." Madam Liang had a complex expression, "Except for Daniu and Jinhai, they’re all kids."
Erniu, Dabao, Shurui, Ah Ning, Xiaozhen, Baoya; aren’t they all easy to pick up with one hand?
