249 Flower Festival (1)

The color of the tree leaves was clear and bright. The light yellow to green silk parasol flowers were exquisite, highlighting the trumpet-shaped flowers on her dress. They did not have petals, revealing their extraordinary beauty.

Not only that, but the outside of the dress was covered with shark silk that looked like smoke and water. Against the silk parasol flowers, it revealed the freshness of a new parasol tree after rain.

Nanny Xu smiled in satisfaction and took the opportunity to teach Dong Mei and the others. Only young ladies who are growing up look good in red and green. They don't have to use all kinds of tricks to attract people's attention. This is the first time Eldest Miss is walking around outside, and she's with her stepmother and auntie. She has to broaden her horizons. It's more important to see and think more about the world. It's not good to be too eye-catching. She shouldn't wear red. Green is good.

Dong Mei and the others listened carefully and understood. The young lady was young and tender to begin with. It was not too much to dress up well, but she could not be flashy. It was more important to show her status and upbringing.

There are also many different shade of green. You have to be particular when choosing. You have to choose a pure color. Aquamarine is just right. This is jade. The color is pure, bright, and beautiful.

As Nanny Xu spoke, she picked out a small crown with a cluster of pure gold parasol flowers on it. In the middle, there were stamens, and below the stamens were green jade beads.

Yu Youyao listened attentively.

Nanny Xu placed the small crown hairpin on her head and looked at it carefully. Then, she smiled in satisfaction. Family background, status, etiquette, and upbringing are first revealed through the material, style, patterns, and jewelry. A person's character is determined by what kind of clothes and what kind of jewelry one is wearing. Everyone from wealthy families have seen the world. How can they not tell? Then, everything is revealed through their words and actions.

No matter how eye-catching your outfit was, what others ultimately wanted to see was your upbringing.

Dong Mei and the others nodded, looking enlightened.

Nanny Xu lifted Yu Youyao's thin wrist and put on a string of jade beads for her. The bright green beads made her wrist look slender and fair, complementing her fresh appearance. She was really beautiful.

After she was done dressing up, Yu Youyao looked at the foundation on the dressing table. Nanny, quickly put on the foundation for me.

Nanny Xu couldn't help but laugh. She had to put it on every day to feel that she looked good. However, the color of this powder was indeed fresh and suitable for Yu Youyao.

At this age, it did not matter even if she drew her eyebrows.

Hence, she opened the brow powder box, picked out some brow powder, mixed it with water, and carefully traced Yu Youyao's eyebrows.

Her drawing of her eyebrows was even better than Dong Mei's. When she raised her eyebrows, they looked like a pair of curved eyebrows, but also like distant mountains, exuding an oppressive aura.

Dong Mei looked at it more carefully and even asked about Hua Mei's technique.

Nanny Xu did not hide anything.

After drawing her eyebrows, Nanny Xu took out a box of pomegranate red lipstick and applied some. The bright color made Yu Youyao's mouth look full and soft. It actually complemented the string of blood beeswax beads on her wrist, and she looked indescribably radiant.

Nanny Xu smiled. It's pretty good.

It looked simple, but this ordeal took two hours. It was really time-consuming, tiring, and strenuous. However, which young lady didn't dress up carefully outside?

Old Madam was worried and sent Nanny Liu over. This is the first time Eldest Miss has been outside. Last night, Old Madam was nagging about it. Today, she got up at dawn and rushed into the warehouse to pick something for Eldest Miss.

As she spoke, she pushed the wooden tray forward.

There was a small pomegranate crown on it. The red tourmaline stones were crystal clear and extremely pure. There was also a small green crown with green cat eye stones on it. They were also expensive.

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and smiled.

Nanny Liu looked at Eldest Miss's outfit and couldn't help but smile. Eldest Miss's outfit is fresh and delicate. A growing child should dress like this. It's really beautiful. After saying that, she looked down at the wooden tray in her hand and placed it on the table. From the looks of it, there's no need for this. Old Madam has worried for nothing.

Yu Youyao smiled. How can I worry for nothing? It's not just for this time. I'll be able to wear it in the future.

Nanny Liu also smiled. I have to tell Old Madam, in case she thinks about it.

When Yu Youyao was almost done, she brought Chun Xiao, Xia Tao, and Nanny Xu to An Shou Hall. Her family received an invitation and were going out. They could only go out after bidding farewell to their elders.

When they arrived at An Shou Hall, Old Madam Yu was leaning against the couch, not even twirling her prayer beads. When she saw her granddaughter coming over, she quickly waved her hand. Oh, my good granddaughter, come over and let Grandmother take a look.

Grandmother! Yu Youyao picked up the hem of her dress and walked forward. She spun around in front of her grandmother, and the hem of her dress, which looked like a sycamore flower, spread out at her feet.

Old Madam Yu's eyes lit up when she saw this. Our Yao Yao's outfit is really fresh and delicate. A growing child should dress like this. It's really beautiful. Nanny Xu really put in a lot of effort.

Yu Youyao smiled and glanced at Nanny Liu, who was smiling at her. She felt that they were indeed master and servant. Even their words were the same.

Grandmother, don't worry about me. Nanny Xu is going with me today, so I won't leave her eyes no matter where I go. Xia Tao is also smart, and Chun Xiao knows some tricks. Yesterday, Third Sister Song and Sixth Sister Qi sent me letters saying that we have to take care of each other at the banquet.

Seeing that Yu Youyao was in good shape, Old Madam Yu was indeed a little relieved.

Yu Youyao was about to plunge into her grandmother's arms when Old Madam Yu blocked her. He, you can't do this. You'll mess up your combed hair. You have to be obedient.

Yu Youyao pouted. Grandmother usually says that she's old and has experienced everything. She's eaten more salt than anyone else. Why can't she withstand it? A flower festival has already intimidated you. The Marquis of Changxing's Residence isn't a dragon's den or a tiger's den. How can it eat me? I'm just a little older. Even if something happens, it won't be on me. I'll just go through the motions and take a look. I can use this experience to grow up and become more knowledgeable. At most, I'll just have some disagreements with other sisters. What else can it be?

These words stunned Old Madam Yu. When she heard this, she really did not know whether to laugh or cry. Nanny Liu, who was at the side, lowered her head and started to laugh.

Old Madam Yu glared at her. You've grown up. You even mocked your grandmother. As she spoke, she waved her hand. Fine, fine, fine. I've been worrying for nothing. You're so smart. You know better than me. Indeed, you're useless when you're old.
